IMMS Learning Walk
[Music] [Applause] [Music] hello my name is Derrick Spurlock principal at urban watch middle school home of the mitered lines our goal is to create young citizens and to create young citizens we want them to take pride in when they stand forth so that we are the Lions is to really take pride and ownership of what it means to be a lion and what it means to be called scholar [Applause] you as an MMS scholar I have contributed to my learning community by having an opportunity to go to Applebee's and give out letters to our veterans during class we accumulated information and data research on why we celebrate Veterans Day I think it's amazing how puttin words on a paper can be so many people to a person especially a veteran I am grateful that I got the chance to go to an event that made my heart bloom as an Iowa MS scholar I have contributed to my learning community by listing notes about what veterans are and what they do for career during that time period my class wrote notes to veterans about how appreciative they were about them serving our country I gotta honor school by going to Applebee's and giving the letters to veterans that day was special and very memorable because lots of emotion was going on I am greatly delighted that I got to be a part of a life-changing moment you hi my name is Caitlin and as an IMF scholar I have contributed to my learning community by assisting in the creation of an anti-bullying app with the help of my fellow peers in the superintendent Student Advisory Committee in this organization I intend to improve our learning environment here at Emma Marsh middle school I have also contributed to my society by representing the lion nation at the Fort Worth Regional Science and Engineering Fair at the University of Texas at Arlington in addition I am honored to have the opportunity to continue my representations at the Texas State science fair in San Antonio [Music] [Applause] [Music] hello my name is Miki McPherson I teach eighth grade history at Marsh middle school or you can call me King George the third because he has been known to enter my classrooms and harass the students with taxes and so forth last spring I also felt like a king when I was named secondary teacher of the year at the district because of that award also got to go to the Jack Harvey Awards / luncheon at Marsh we are the Lions whether it's through academics or sports or Fine Arts we always try to do our best [Music] [Applause] I am Lori Farney I am the coding teacher at uma marsh middle school and coding is a new subject for all of Castleberry is D this year we have been able this year to use nothing but open source coding instructional materials that are all available on a website and because of our district's commitment to the 21st century learner our scholars can go home with their school laptops and have access to all of this open source one of the software programs that we are using now is called Pixar in a box they're actually seeing real live animators describe their paths to their careers in many cases we're finding out they weren't math and science and computer people and they never knew of the careers that were there so we're able to give our scholars a really broad view of things you can take and do with computers beyond playing a game [Applause] one of the goals that we've really targeted is working with our ll and our special education students and we created this goal by looking at the PB mas data and knew that this was an area that we really needed to target this year the way that we've done that is that we have allowed teachers to do some action research within the PLC's we found that not only has the classroom instruction improved but this is also was also a great way to model students and an instruction for our teachers we would like to thank the River Oaks Community and our parents for entrusting us with your most valuable possession and that's your child's education this is a trust that we do not take lightly and we appreciate you stopping by [Music] [Applause] [Music]

Unforgettable Victory Arsenal Shocks Old Trafford Secures Third Double
another pivotal day in the story of Arsenal the title and the club's third double rested on a potentially epic showdown at Old Trafford as usual the game was not just about the players we're beating United anytime anywhere is is uh he's always rather rather gratifying but that was a tremendous performance cuz we always have a pretty strong battle against United and um winning there was about as good as it cares taken the title away from Manchester United and they have done it here at Old Trafford arson wenger's Team every bit as good as the manager's words he had no doubts

Meet Jessica
well I'm currently 25 I live in New York with my family and about about an hour 15 minutes north of New York City and a Westchester County hi I'm sole student actually graduating about two weeks I'm an applied psychology major and it'll be for my undergraduate degree but I'm looking forward to finishing very much at the time I was 23 years old it was a fall 2009 early October I was working with a development as a sample for all respite hours at her home as a soliciting the appropriate social behaviors so to speak and I was I would take her out into the community and do things with her and she was very heavy and she had a lot of atrophy on one side of her body so I'd have to pick her up a lot and in doing so I got a mulch disc in my spine I went to a an orthopedist because I I just felt shooting pains in my packet in my legs and it was you know the same old thing that I always feel with most people when they go to the doctor they go okay well here's some anti-inflammatories and here's some painkillers see me in two weeks if it still hurts so that's what I did and I saw him back in two weeks his name was dr. Daniel southern in Ridgefield Connecticut and he says okay well you know if the pain is still here let's get an MRI I said okay good good that's great because I don't know this pain is not going away and it was awful so then I went get the MRI then it took about a couple Atilla days to get that back and I came to meet with him in his office with my mother at the time and he said yeah you know the MRI does confirm you have a bulged disc in your lower spine and I said okay great and then we talked about how we would fix that with either oral prednisone or an epidural into the lower spine into the disc and that went that went well and I was taken care of and we had the whole discussion about how I was going to recuperate from that what I needed to do for my back and being a little more proactive about how I'm lifting people and things along those lines and from there on I was about to actually get up and leave the office that day and he had said no would you just mind sitting back yeah I wanted to share something with you that I had also seen on your MRI and I said okay sure with my mother there and he said okay he said when I looked at your MRI he said these are your kidneys and I said okay you know I don't know what am I can't read an MRI I have no knowledge of that whatsoever and he said this is what normal kidneys looked like and I said okay you know looking at it and then he showed me what mine looks like and in my right kidney he said you see this part he said it's really dark shadow rather big and he's like I would I would like to new to go see a urologist to just follow up he's like I'm sure it's just a sister or a kidney stone or something like that said nothing to worry about when I left that office that day and it sounds silly to say but I just think the intuition told me that it's not going to be a good good outcome that maybe I'm sure you can relate to that and from there I went to go see a urologist in Danbury Connecticut named dr. Broder who sent me to get a CT scan and an ultrasound and that whole process with dr. Broder took about hmm month and a half or so for the end of October through most of November and when he had concluded of doing the CT scans and ultrasounds he said you know he's like it just he's like it can't really be cancer you're 23 years old you're a healthy female there's you have no predisposition to it no one in your family has ever had kidney cancer he's like I'm really leaning towards an abscess cyst he said that his AB the urologist and his department had gotten together and test my case and said that that's what it was and he sounded very convincing in that day specifically my mother and my father were there with me the way he had said it just wasn't enough for me he kind of looked at me and she said I'm ninety eight point nine percent positive it's not cancer and I as snippy as it sounds came back and said but you can't tell me that it's not right and he said well no and I said okay well then I would really like a referral so from there I went to go see dr. John Kohlberg at Yale urology in New Haven Connecticut and I had met with him several times and at first I think that he kind of also dismissed my case saying you know it doesn't really look like it was grayish and black there was really no definitive answer and then one day I was sitting in his office again this is the fourth or fifth time that I had seen him because I was so adamant about wanting an answer because it had taken so long so far with not with no responses to what was really going on and he these are listing symptoms and asking me if he if I could recall having any of them and the one that struck me the most when he was reading through different various symptoms was that I remembered having terrible night sweats that summer the summer of 2009 all the way through the fall and thinking I'm like you know I always would sweat through my sheets and my mom my dad would always say oh it's hormones your hormonal you're a female you're 23 years old and we would dismiss it but when I told that to dr. Kohlberg everything changed that day he wanted to do a biopsy that week so I went and had a biopsy at Yale and about five days later he said just call the office we'll have the results of will absolutely we don't know what's going on at this point I said okay great you know finally I'd get some answers however I would call every day I still remember his Secretary's name was seal because I would call her every day after this five day period of when those results should have been in and every day she said oh Jessica they're still testing them they're still testing them don't worry you know look at it we'll call you and I said okay but I would be persistent and call her every day I think it at one point she was terribly annoyed with me because I would call her multiple times a day because of in it it was about three weeks later in that grace period of you know the five days and then one day I called her this was like mid-december about December 18th or so of 2009 and she said oh Jessica via your slides were sent out for confirmation to Sloan Memorial in New York City and I said okay great and as I am a diva this is going to sound I didn't even know about Sloan Memorial Hospital so when I looked it up on the Internet it said Sloan Memorial you know Cancer Hospital I said oh well then that's really what it must be which news I had always felt but that's what it was going to be but no one I think wanted to say that me no one wanted to sit put themselves out there to say that a 23 year old perfectly healthy female with no previous hip medical history at all has cancer and on December 21st 2009 doctor Kohlberg called me I was actually walking into a masochistic final at my university and he told me that it was confirmed that had papillary renal cell carcinoma type 1 you know people ask me all the time like how that story of it happening how they even found it because the odds of it in dr. Cooper had told me the odds of them ever of having founded wouldn't have been until it was way later hadn't I gotten hurt and it was also interesting for multiple other reasons that my my tumor was inside imbedded ratings with my urinary tract or urinary ducts in the kidney itself it was inside and not on the outside of the kidney so that that is like my understanding that is why they had suggested that it would had been an abscessed cyst and so forth or a benign tumor of some sort never pronounce the name of the one they always talked about Angela Pilon no Myers I don't really know how to say it but I know that they always they kept saying that it was probably that but it all changed when I had gone over that I had night what's with him I had surgery December 30th 2009 I was in the hospital for seven days as there for a week we had decided it was my decision well sort of my position we I knew that I was going to have to have it removed but it was either a decision between full mastectomy or the partial nephrectomy removing the kidney and to my knowledge as well at the time there was no doctor who was willing to do this lock or scopic lee because of the where my tumor was in my kidney and it quite honestly was mortifying and probably one of the most terrifying experiences of my life to date and I think that most people have been through quite a lot whether its medical or anything in your life and this was the most terrifying experience I also had an extreme phobia of needles so see even thinking about someone cutting me open and removing a part of my body was just absolutely horrifying so I went in for surgery December 30th and I was there for five days I woke up out of surgery and he had felt like someone had taken a saw blade to the side of my body like they were cutting down a tree it was just an awful excruciating pain I've never felt anything like that in my life but I think that it makes me a stronger person now looking back but I didn't get up the first day I wouldn't get out of the bed and partially also because I found out that I was allergic to morphine and I couldn't breathe when I woke up right away I was an oxygen for a few days and I had hives and I was very swollen but you know and then I was put on well I'm going to forget the name of the pain medication but I was on that for the entirety of my stay there and I didn't get out of bed till about day three I had sat up on the second day but it was just fantastic I just can't even describe the pain it's unbelievable and then after my seven days I also spent New Year's Eve in the hospital um that year I I went home my parents took me home and I didn't leave my house for about six weeks according to what my doctor had wanted me to do he said that I would not feel comfortable in a car and I had a I was tied such cabin fever because all I wanted to do is leave the house but you know you can hardly sit up you can hardly get out of bed it took me about three weeks I stayed in the guest room in my family's house because I couldn't walk up a flight of stairs because it was just too painful but after about six weeks I had gone back to let him look at my scar and how it was healing and it um it looks fine it looks great I mean other than the fact that I'll have this you know six to eight inch scar on the body from a rest of my life I think I'm fine I'm perfectly healthy now she's just sorry it's such a difficult memory to talk about but a very positive one too because it only makes anyone who's dealt with it or is dealing with that much stronger I think that it has made me an incredibly strong individual I was never I wasn't a weak person prior I always found myself to be a strong person an outgoing person leader in some ways and after this happened I think for the first year afterwards I was I was distraught I felt like you know why me and it was the very self pitying attitude and I was never that person and my mom would talk to me she was the biggest and my father my mother and my father and my brother to serve I've been the most supporting people without them I don't know where I would be especially my mother and father they would support me like no other and I think that it was through what they would tell me and you know that nothing I could beat this that I could do anything and you know you grow up you hear people tell you that you can do anything in life and if you can do this you'll be a stronger person for this having this experience having gone through this experience I am such a strong person now I don't let things get to me like they used to and if they do I have to remind myself where I've been where I am and I think that it really hasn't impacted my life in a weird way for the better to be a better person if I can say this bluntly I would say keep your head up and to realize that today sucks tomorrow might be worse the following few months might be even worse than the day that you had today but if you can get through this and if you can keep your head up and realize that there are people who love you and support you and that you're not alone and that there are so many other people out there who are dealing with what you're dealing with that you can you can push through it you can realize that there's more to life than letting something like this trying to ruin it and that's what I've gotten personally from my own experience and that's the best advice I could give anyone is that kidney cancer sucks the experience is not wonderful but if you can get through it you were going to be a very strong person and you're going to love yourself even more you

DecBin
so when it comes to IP addressing converting from decimal to binary or binary to decimal it's just opposite directions of the same thing so if we just this right here what I have here represents one octet so for our cuts here and each octet is represented by four bits or 8 bits and the reason why it's called an octet is because it's eight bits all right so if we had something along lines okay so I'm gonna use one line two one nine two is the starting any P of a lot of examples so that's like I'm using a lot of that now if we wanted to go from decimal to from decimal to binary that is simply a matter of going okay so in each octet we have on the far left to two to the seventh and on the far right we have two to the zero and then it's our sequential thing from seven to zero but these these numbers here are basically what you would get when you would uh when you count put two to the seven into the calculator you get 128 same with 64 + 32 + 16 + 8 you you compute 2 to the power of whatever it is and out comes the number in the second row so basically whenever you want to convert from decimal to binary you start with the 2 to the 7 position of that particular object and then and ask yourself is the decimal version of that octet greater than or equal to the answer of 2 to the power of that first number so is 192 greater than or equal to 128 if yes then you put a 1 here so you put a 1 here and then and then you as a result you would subtract 128 from the original number because you are you've already consumed to that 128 and that's gonna be my brain is being your brain now that's gonna be 64 and so the next thing you need to ask is is the result of that subtraction greater than or equal to the next number in the last so it's 64 greater than or equal to this 64 so it does equal so that you are equal so yes it is greater than or equal to and this is one of those things where I do have to feel the need to emphasize that this is come this is a computer level of technicality pretty much anything master statistics is you need to assume computer levels of technicality and literalism and so now that we've done that we subtract it from the 64 we out here to get zero and so since 0 is not greater than or equal to any of the rest we can just put zeros for the rest of the digits and that and that would be what I have in that third row and that matrix is the decimal representation of 192 now if we do that again with 168 all right I have one six so he's 176 greater than 128 yes so I'm putting a 1 here and then subtract from 136 the inertia 128 that's gonna be four you know is 148 less than or equal to 64 it's not so a zero goes there and technically we subtract a zero from that to get to a 48 and then he's a greater than three - yes so I'm gonna put a 1 here and subtract from that 48 the 32 and that's gonna be 16 and then Oh Pete then we are in 16 so we have the 124 and I want to say 128 in 64 is also going to be 0 but 32 is going to be 1 because 60 is greater than 32 so 16 minus 32 is 28 which is greater than 16 28 minus 16 is going to be 12 and so 12 is bigger than 8 is bigger than 8 so goes here 12 minus 8 is 4 which is greater than or equal to 4 which we bets goes there 4 minus 4 is 0 so the rest are zeros and the reason you would want to do this is because you know the computers reading this in binary oh and we read in decimal all right so if you want to do binary binary to decimal you would have to go in the opposite direction

Common Thread EP3 Wanda Vision Spiritual Breakdown And How to Develop your dreams.
what's good what's good welcome to the third episode of the common thread oh you got two good topics and annoying cat that y'all gonna have to deal with because she is in her feelings she's in her feelings about our other cat running away which i can understand it's just been a few days now and i want her to adjust but who knows how long that's going to take but yeah hopefully she don't be too loud uh first first topic would i'm going to say what two types we're going to talk about because they kind of go hand in hand first thing you want to be breaking down this one division uh from the title that i'm probably end up putting on here most i know most people are going to come just because of one division and then the second one is going to be dream cultivation for the people that may stay through the one division conversation but they go hand in hand because a lot of people have reoccurring dreams or significant like uh monumental places or like uh key points in their dreams that they can remember and um sometimes they may pop up there again over time whether it's school whether it's a house that you may have stayed in or a house that you're in now um a friend's house or anything key that's in real life you may be like oh this is recognizable in my dream world whether it's a library or whatever and these points stick out to you when you when you when you're dreaming that's how you even know like oh i'm dreaming because i'm at my old house but none of this stuff stays the same so it helps you be able to be like oh [ __ ] no this is not the same area even helps you be able to tap into i'm dreaming more and uh after that you kind of just can be like okay let me explore this let me explore this place i know usually this room is over here what what's in that area that's this room usually in so you can start to explore and have you actually have um you have a map of your reality that you currently that we in now like regular life we have a map and be like okay well this is where this is supposed to be so we can correlate things and that also help us remember these dreams a little bit more because like last time where my room was it was a [ __ ] zoo so when i go through this door of my house i get to a zoo okay well next time let's we'll come back to it we'll come back to it i'll tell you man it gets ridiculous so the first thing we're gonna get into like i said is one division let me get my notes out it's not much notes because the biggest thing was with vision not knowing himself even you can say wonder not knowing herself because a lot of times they'll ask her hey how did you how did you do this or it was a whole episode of trying to figure out how she even attained her powers saying how did she even build this town and start to control all these people she was kind of disconnected from herself in in the first place i'm trying to think who else was for the most part those two were the most that were disconnected from themselves vision and one and then you could kind of say that black girl too or whatever because she ended up finding herself but her story is not a flushed out so we won't stick to her but for vision we'll say that wonder kind of knew a little bit more that was going on with things so for vision we're gonna start with him because he was completely unaware that he was even dead before he had a past life um he don't even know how this life started like he he don't really he don't have really any like memory but before like um they woke up in the 80s or 90s or whatever they woke up in so my bad job i want to um have a little background noise but not actual noise though all right so um let me see get to these nuts real quick so yeah he didn't even have regulation recognition or whatever he don't have memory of some of the things that happened in recent memory of what um of things so like i said he ain't remember when he died with thanos or being on a vengeance or any of those things but there was even more stuff that was recent he couldn't remember so he was completely disconnected from a lot of himself um i mean the much as he known was who he was who wanda was that's about it that's about it and you can kind of say that with black people or people in general as far as being disconnected from our spirituality from our history from um [ __ ] we even disconnected to this reality we really don't have any clue what's going on who's really controlling it who's really the puppy behind all these things there's a lot of things you can call it into it but um there's a lot of it's a lot of different avenues that you can go with these superhero movies as far as spiritual content i'm over here looking at these squirrels and [ __ ] about that so this [ __ ] is hilarious um but for the most part um with vision there was a certain amount of clues that he had to find to be like something's off and that's kind of how we are in this world like we go we have a plan or we have a path that we would sit on either by our parents or through society or friends or whatever and we kind of walk down these paths and a lot of times we start we start realizing life is weird or wrong by the things that don't resonate with us because it's little things that we like and little things that we enjoy all the time but even through those things that we have around us we still start to feel like bro something's up or i'm not completely happy or things could be better you know we you know run into the things that like i said we don't resonate is when we discover those things and those things a lot of times those don'ts and those no's that we don't like in life um kind of show us who we really are and with vision um i'm trying to remember i probably should have rewatched it a little more because but the scenarios for the most part don't matter it was just him being a detective in his world and that kind of helped him figure out over time who he was to a point where he started asking more questions he didn't just go with things um to a point where he got a little passion and was up about to be up front with wanda like you know what i've been taking things by the uh slowly i've been trying to do things secretly but now i feel like i have enough clues to really come out and be upset about this and the reason i say this is spiritual because it that's the same process that we go through with a a lot of our discovery with this reality with our spirit and stuff like that so that's what really helped me want to make this video and then we could just skip all the way to the last episode for spoilers i haven't really gave any spoilers um from him literally meeting himself he met um so basically vision was like just the spirit and even that spirit of vision had forgotten himself to a point where he got up because he couldn't leave outside of that reality like that that was a ghost that was a shell of him like y'all he had some energy he had some spirit in him it was still vision but it wasn't vision so that's why i even brought that paradox not even a paradoxical question but that one question like who's really vision or who's really the boat that was like is it the boat that has a piece of wood still the boat or whatever the restore boat the boat like it was like off the boat [Music] when you really hear what they're saying because they flushed it out that topic really well but um they're both vision but like i said vision the red vision was more of the spiritual vision the physical vision of the silver vision was more of the physical vision uh so even them reconnecting with each other like that was how we all have to reconnect to ourselves like that one vision had all the history after a while because he was even disconnected he had to go discover find himself and then he had to upload all that literally upload all that same information into his physical self and that's what we do our spiritual self a lot of time do a lot of spiritual journey a lot of spiritual fleshing a lot of spiritual renewal but our physical bodies just be here like all right well now i have this craving okay now i have i want to follow this trend all the time it's our spirit controlling things our spirit trying to figure out and test different things going through different hypothesis going through different theories going through different tests and our physical body is what helps us get through it so our spirit be doing all this discovery and all the time is sitting down though our physical body like hey well now you can start moving this way or hey now you can start liking this or hey uh maybe you you should get curious about this and like i said it's the very same it's the very same we just with the visions they were detached but it's the same thing in our body happening simultaneously in a sense so the same when you're dreaming and stuff like that we always dream and we always thinking we always having visions but when we get those downloads when we get the dreams that we can remember those are exact downloads that help you start to move a certain way down the path whether you can consciously break down a dream or constantly break down those thoughts tonight the frequency of their dream is already putting you in that path because you the fact that you can remember that dream the fact that you can even have that dream shows you in the frequency of that dream whether you can break it down or not so um yeah like i said the same thing our spirit is constantly feeding us downloads now it's for our physical life where we can go and explore and figure things out from that new standpoint and that's exactly what happened when when they was fighting they was arguing and and um the two visions started fighting or whatever and it got to a point where they had to sit down in the library and have a simple discussion because we all wore ourselves for the longest for many different reasons whether we are just completely unknown that we're even fighting each other and thinking hey that's the enemy whole time that's yourself you're fighting to a point um to a point where maybe you just have conflicting thoughts and don't realize how y'all still similar even conflicting thoughts but yeah we have fights with ourselves for many reasons and others for many reasons but a lot of times all it takes is that sit down discussion and a a real communication and like i said they had that in the library and they had many pretense to that because they was in the library you get downloads from other people other universes of the worlds so even [ __ ] watching this video you can get downloads if you're being honest but um yeah so they had a civil sit-down discussion and they started sharing well really it was just one way of sharing but yeah that is the exact same thing we do and then we can kind of skip to wonder and how um she had her home rediscovery of herself to try to remember where she got her powers from to um even remembering some of the likes even going back through her history to help her remember some of the things that she may have forgot or been disconnected from because she lived through much she went through so much of life so many other things has happened she may have forgotten about these little precious moments that she used to have or whether it's trauma where she may have blocked these moments out now she has to relive them and a lot of times just help her reconnect with her herself because she had become so disconnected because of a lot of the traumas that had happened to her so she was doing a lot of these controlled things but uh she didn't even know she was doing it because she had been so disconnected and blocked off from life after so much stuff that had happened to her so as she started to rediscover life and go back to think where after she start to go back through her life um in her history she started to remember a lot of things and how she got to the place that she had now and and ultimately helped her be able to let go of things um it helped her it grounded her a little bit better to a point where she wasn't this rage uh hurt field person that just could not let go of things she eventually realized how she had to let go of things how this had been happening to her throughout time and um you can't really control it but whatever it was as many different scenarios you can get from her i don't really want to stop on breaking down her too much because ultimately it was it was very similar she had to reconnect through her spirit or reconnect to her history and that ultimately caused different changes in her so um that's a that's like i said it's the same thing that happens with us we have to go through the discovery process you have to basically be a detective because vision wasn't detected to himself whether it was like when the lady was doing weird [ __ ] and people was being secretive or to things was restarting or things wouldn't things just wasn't making things wouldn't adding up and he didn't let them be like you know what these things just not that number's gonna live he decided hey let's break this [ __ ] down to the same with one division the other witch made her go through made her go through this [ __ ] to a point where she was forced to look at herself she was forced to look at her reflections and what she had become and these are all things that we have to become in ourselves we have to be those detected to ourselves like why don't i like this why does this bother me so much or why do i like this so much or why do i believe this so much because everything we come here we especially from vision we'd be fresh we're a fresh baby everything is put into us so if everything is always like we have a computer that when we first started off no no memory like vision we had no memory so if i am if i'm a certain way why am i this certain way what put this in me how can i change this how can i build this how can i do whatever it's very similar so that's one thing i got from one division a lot of times we'd be so disconnected we don't even bother to do the studying we don't bother to do the research but a lot of times that's what's needed to help you get through life and your battles as simple as that or you just keep being misled or you can look at vision imagine if he didn't do any of the discoveries he would have never really got to be himself because he was being controlled by wonder over time he started to free himself over time he started to go outside the limits of him and wanda's house and uh her view because like if he was in her view she was basically controlling all the people in the interactions around him but then when he kind of went to work he started to discover things more and then [ __ ] after that he was like man you know what let me just keep going a little bit further outside of the town to a point where he got to a memory that or you she couldn't keep controlling it and distracting him anymore and think about how the world is so controlling and distracting to a lot of our goals and things like that but when we really realize and actualize why we want these goals and um what's really bothering us and helping us back a lot of times that's what pushes us forward because those little roadblocks are the only thing like our vision is usually clear it's the things in the middle that we don't see a lot of the times so and those are like roadblocks and things like that and that's what usually [ __ ] with us but if you're able to tap into that bro it's different like i said if you was after a while vision was like you know what i need to start questioning wonder if he would have never came up with that thought things would have kept going up accordingly and he would have been trapped he would have been lost and he wouldn't be able to figure things out and that's the same thing with us in this world if you don't start discovering if you don't really start realizing the things you don't like in this world a lot of times you'll be like you know what it ain't that bad or maybe people like whatever i don't want to get into that back but for me if y'all could take anything from from this conversation is you have to do the work you have to discover yourself no matter how hard it is because i think vision doing that work was him breaking up his family basically because if vision were have stayed happy the kids would have stayed around the town would have stayed around vision wonder might not have been she was already kind of going through her [ __ ] anyways with with the world being the way she wanted it anyway she still had guilt trips and stuff on her own so so i don't know how long that would have lasted with wanda but even with her vision it broke up the home and broke up the the kids it caused the distance separation from the woman he loved the most because he had to like those questions that's what those questions led to and a lot of times we don't want to go through that right because of the things that may be affected around us we're comfortable with and that bird is hella big for some reason well yeah it's that's one thing that i've been realizing because what they say when god when you ask god to clear your path or when you ask god for help he started removing things that you didn't think he was going to remove or you when you when you go through a cleansing thing start pieces start moving that you thought was a solidified part of your foundation at least long term or whatever oh i got my cat again she depressed man but um yeah so a lot of times we don't we we we don't want to do that discovery because a lot of time it uproops the things that we're comfortable with and what's more what's more beneficial the thing that you're comfortable with now or what's what's if you if you choose to be stuck in temporary comfort comfortability that's fine but for me i rather uproot some of these things that need to be uprooted and get to the reality at hand a lot of times these comfortabilities are illusions or things like i said roadblocks that can hold you back because those same things are the things that's not wanting you to go discover more because like you know what i'm happy with what i have now like okay well that's fun um yeah that's fine so let's move on let me see if i i didn't even go through my notes let me read my notes to see if anything else wonder slowly one division slowly remembering that you've been disconnected dreams feel extremely similar like you have the okay so this is going and kind of the next part as well like i said these things kind of tie in together damn catch stay stepping on the [ __ ] keyboard dreams feel extremely similar like you have to reprogram recall what you've lost like we have 25 or less of the big picture so we have an idea but for sure not enough to feel confident in what you're seeing so in the beginning vision had a few things like a few glitches that he seen was like you know what that's weird well that shouldn't be normal or what was that and then you know the reality would kind of re-change around him or it'd be more distracting things that are coming around with somebody to knock on the door or want to do something to distract him like hey go off run here and do this errand or some [ __ ] you never really let him actualize what was really going on in his reality till these things started to add up and it was more than stop stepping on that i was like bro ain't nobody in my old apartment i didn't step on [ __ ] in this apartment they're like oh we got new we got new [ __ ] it's a new place the rules have changed like no [ __ ] you're not posted on the keyboard like what are you doing whatever um what was i saying with vision and she pissing you off with this [ __ ] bro cuz they know better oh man that really pissed me off um let me just reread this you had to reprogram recall what you lost i'll say so the key things start to add up over time because in the beginning like i said you only have one one thing that you don't resonate with me like that's not enough to just uproot the things that i don't like in life but as you start to add up things like i don't like that i don't like this song like that um you start to be like well let me see if i can change my reality for me for instance i didn't um like answering to people so i'm like how is the long-term what's the long-term thing i can do to not have the answer to people but that was one thing i was like okay that's not that bad maybe i can find the right group of people it's like no started going through different lessons and starting to learn that i'm like no i just need to be able to figure out how to do things efficiently for myself and people that's like-minded because ultimately you can't put faith in other people that have power over you regardless of how um good-hearted much experience they have a lot of times their vision still won't be aligned to yours so that was one of the things that i had to realize about this reality like yeah i can do what everybody else has been doing for years and centuries finding a good job finding a house and stability and moving on but when i tried to do that a lot of the red flags popped up going down that path and uh like i said the first red flag was like you know i got into argument with the boss well that happens at work a lot of people gonna say oh that happened that just happens at work another thing happens like well or you go to another job the same it's just it's more bosses like well damn i would think that it's not all bosses is it all managers and you like well maybe it's just me and i don't want to listen to nobody so a bunch of flags just start popping up like i don't want to walk down that path for long like yeah i have to walk down the path of working and doing that because you have no choice in the beginning you have to find some type of consistent money and stuff like that and a job is not the only way but it is the easiest way for the most part so yeah you have to go through it but you better have a get out plan is what i would say for myself and the plan to save and stack this money into something else so that's that's i said i had many red flags walking down that path but i could have kept walking down that path and the north those red flags and been looked up and be 67 years old and have things accomplished in life but still not be fully satisfied with myself because i went down the path and honestly i ignored things that i wasn't happy with and that's life in general we walk down this life path and a lot of times we're walking down the path that others talk to us or uh society has given to us or we're taking a path that we we consider more easier even though we know that's really not what we want out of life we want more out of life for whatever so um it usually starts with a red flag or it starts with key moments in life that you have to answer why did this happen to me why did i feel this way wouldn't happen to me am i okay with this happening to me again there's many different ways you can look at it but it's the same with vision he was like bro what is this weirdness going on around me and this led to the questions and the questions that it ended up leading to he probably would have never imagined he could have been like oh maybe that neighbor is just weird and just kept living his life but eventually he's like nah bro he's extremely weird like why are you asking for help there's nothing going on like and he's like well no let me let me let me probe let me probe because imagine when he was at work when that dude kind of started spazzing he was like man that nigga's just weird let me just move on and move on by my life he would have never discovered [ __ ] he's like let me put my head on this let me see what he really think oh [ __ ] that's not what i was expecting what do you mean wanda's controlling you what do you mean you need help the plot started to thicken and it was just off that one discovery and a lot of times that's why they don't happen think about youtube when you go down one you like research is one thing at least back in the day let me research just one thing and you know around the rabbit hole of things that's like that and similar it's the same thing like bro you have to question a lot you have to i would say question everything for the most part uh in the beginning but yeah you have to be a you have to be a detective you can't just let things just go by your wayside and be like you know what that things just happen life's just happened like nah bro everything has synchronicity so if it's even you have these things happen it don't happen to everyone and they don't happen all the time so why are these things happening to me why do i have to go through this experience so yeah with one division it helped me realize that that's a lot of things that we go through is due to our ignorance and due to us being completely unaware and us not having any idea we even need to be a detective because you got to think vision was just thrown into that world bro like a blank slate and that's the same thing with us it's like we don't just thrown into this world we just started being fed information and we never really taught how to question those things or anything so we just fed information we just fed a reality we just fed like basically we just thrown into that town where he's like well you're here now your memory's been wiped and you you move from this day forward and that's is it's very challenging to even start questioning things like that because you feel like you have no reference to go on but let's say for vision even though he did the discovery even though he had no real reference of himself he started to find his past self and that's what would happen to us a lot of times we like down if you just look at reality now you can be like man things are okay things ain't that bad but when you go through history and see how history repeat itself things shake a little differently the government policies that get pushed you can't just be like oh they taking away guns because that's the good thing for us i know throughout history when citizens get their guns taken away from government the citizens lose power you can't be like oh that's just this thing that uh this unharmful thing or this thing that they're just trying out like no bro we have history that can show these things so a lot of times we'll be we'll be naive to things but when you can go back and like i said do that research you start to get connected to things that allow you not to be so naive anymore so when vision started to do that thing it was like bro you don't remember who you are you like what you mean who am i i'm just this family man this is this guy that's here vision might not even know he had superpowers no he did he knew he didn't know he had superpowers but he didn't know why where they came from he didn't even know that that was i mean he knew that it wasn't normal because he couldn't do that around other people but that like he never just he wouldn't ever discover who the [ __ ] he was he didn't know he was artificial intelligence he didn't know he was dead he didn't know any really thing about himself the few my new things that she couldn't hide from him like yeah you have super powers yeah you can change it to a regular like from human being or whatever but i don't think he even knew much past that either so he started asking questions and it slowly allows him to be connected back to his past self was like hey bro you don't remember you fought for the avengers and thanos killed you [ __ ] [ __ ] i'm dead what do you mean i'm dead like like think about provision he would have never thought in no way in hell he would ever discover he was dead like i talked about when he do the uh when he go through the start questioning things and he found out wanda was in control of all these things you know okay well one is mind controlling me no [ __ ] you're completely dead even past one to having control bro you're not even alive you're a dead being you're just the carcass right now that we're talking to we don't even know how you're alive and you're like wait nah that can't be true like no bro the whole world seemed thanos take the stone at your head what you mean the stone's right here nah bro that's a replica nah bro that came and he had this he had me like once you fit that information like nah you can question me but you're gonna start doing research like nah bro because especially if somebody else tell you the same story what you mean i'm dead and i can't be dead bro i'm here i know that's what that's what monica down the street said she was dead no she told me i was dead now you telling me it too man something look what do you know i'm dead she gonna start lying to you but she gonna say something like nah you ain't really dead like she gonna shrug it off like nah that's not the appropriate reaction to this what you know that i don't know honey what are you talking about just calm down let me make you something to eat kids start running the house and [ __ ] trying to distract them like nah bro [ __ ] all these kids right now [ __ ] all this family [ __ ] all the [ __ ] my life everybody's telling me i'm dead it gets to a point where he has so much passion where he's not he he'll we're gonna put this [ __ ] to the side we gotta get to this first me figuring out where the [ __ ] i came from is a priority like yeah i need to survive yeah i need to take care of these kids i need to take care of myself but i need to rediscover myself and that's a lot of times we're doing this is like yeah [ __ ] this job you're [ __ ] having to do the same month uh uh what do you call it monogamous or monotonous work or just repetitive work yeah it's like [ __ ] it but you know you just can't let go of it because you fully you haven't really really this you haven't really discovered everything that's going on within yourself yet so it's hard to just say completely [ __ ] [ __ ] because it's like you gotta have vision of what you're really supposed to be and what you're really supposed to be doing in life whole time you still are in a whole nother life that you have to make sure you still maintain it because it's things that you care about in there you don't just want to get rid of it right uh irrationally even though you're in a self-discovery process so that's the little delicate balance that we have to do in life it's like yeah i still have these kids yeah i still have this uh this reality i need to take care of for the time being oh let's not say kids for instance with our apartment or a certain circumstances that you may need relationships or jobs or whatever yeah i may need to keep this for now or friends yeah i may need to keep them for now like yeah i could see signs that i might need to do better but i don't just want to throw them off this could be a rational thought or this could be a thought that just pop up and leave so um yeah knowing that um while you're going through that rediscovery phase you kind of be you'll be balancing like man [ __ ] that old life i'm trying to just get to this but it's a delicate balance it's a delicate balance but um yeah it got to a point where vision was like man [ __ ] all that [ __ ] i'm ready to box right now bro tell me what the [ __ ] is going on to report he would have killed himself he was going to kill himself he got to a point where it was so real that he needed to rediscover what the [ __ ] was going on he left the town and kept trying to leave the town like even when he said [ __ ] was like starting to disintegrate he was like no bro help me tell me what the [ __ ] is going on even though i see everything that i am now even his family kids and all that [ __ ] all that [ __ ] was starting to disintegrate as he disintegrated because i mean he could go back into town and be comfortable and say he like nah bro i am leaving these boundaries and they just get to those point where you have to do that well we just completely a different person than where we are with the people that surround us or even how we interact with those people is completely different to the jobs and the uh the movements or the moves that we may make is completely different instead of going to out to eat every day i'm going to do yoga i'm going to do cleansing i'm going to do meditation i'm going to do again some massages where it leads to you being free and more happy when you go to work and now you got a different job because you're just a different vibration person i'm just saying it goes like that it flows like that but it goes through a cycle of versus the discovery process but then once you get enough once you get enough of after being a detective after you do enough uh hints and clues you start to be able to accuse and make accusations and make assumptions that that that are backed by different things because you have different like i say evidences that you can use and for me a lot of evidence is history um key things that pop up consistently that you don't [ __ ] with or that cause you to really question things and we all have those and when you really discover those things no matter how long it may take no matter how many books you have to read you're gonna find the answers and once you find those answers you can start moving differently from then so a lot of times we only have 10 to 20 to go off of like what we really are like we have a distant idea of what we are and what we want to be but as you discover yourself and as you see that you know i'm not going to just settle in a sense of i'm not just going to be comfortable in what i've been told even with that 20 even with that 10 percent of knowledge they look how much wanda or look how much vision end up figuring out he had a few questions and ended up leaving the [ __ ] you're not even alive bro it's a half question so how are you even here in a sense so it is a lot of times we like to say we don't have much to go on but use that even though they could be discouraging like man how the [ __ ] can i figure this out with this little bit of puzzle pieces like bro if you really do the detective work the answers will unlock yourself in front of you so and that's what anything bro any like if you go through look up any like reporter like the movies that have reporters in it but they always start off with this little tidbit of information to break down the whole case end up bringing down whole empires end up bringing down a whole story that they would have never thought that was connected to these pieces they start as they get through they're like oh yeah i was trying to take down these little people but now i see how they connect to these big pieces and now i see how this big piece is connected to the government think about which on my snowfall in his recent episodes like yeah i was just worried about this little drug dude and how this neighborhood she was starting off in the neighborhood she was trying to find neighborhood questions of why her is [ __ ] up it ended up going all the way to the government in cartels i'm looking at my phone i'm talking on the phone that's hilarious so that's that's that's kind of how all things happen when you're a detective you have a little murder cases or robbery cases you have a little bit of information but you take that and you you do as much as discovery and research around that little evidence that you find and more windows start to open up and that's what goes into the dream world too i said you have these little key things like whether it's a house or school or something like that that you have the reference on because like this place stands out to me because it uh it's similar to what i have in real life or this thing stands out to me because it's something i've always imagined me being at so i i i've been here before in a sense even if i was daydreaming this place before now i'm here in a dream world um these different things help you be able to discover more so even with your dreams you have a school you be like bro this school is so similar let me start to explore this school since i remember it being just like my old school and it leads you to different scenarios it leads you to different experiences when you're exploring like okay whether it's running into different people or run into different classrooms that you may have not been in or not that you're in now so let me slow down a little bit and finish reading these notes and then we'll get into it so you have like 25 25 or less of the big picture so we have an idea but not sure what not sure enough to feel not sure enough to feel confident sure of what you're seeing which could lead to doubt and second guessing or even getting led wrong completely but when i say that it's like when you're in that stage a lot of times you end up giving up because that's 10 to 25 it's like yeah you're searching but it's not much to go on so a lot of times people end up being like you know what bro i'm just reaching let me not be a detective let me not let me not question this [ __ ] because it ain't really getting me anywhere long haul time you got the question of a century you got one of the questions have you answered this [ __ ] ain't nobody answered that [ __ ] for centuries but since it's so hard to get to a lot of times we'll we'll get down the wrong path or we'll find an answer that's kind of right but not fully right and it's like you know what bro [ __ ] it i've done it i don't want to experience it anymore but um that was just me saying um when you when you have that in that beginning phase there's going to be a lot of doubt there's going to be a lot of second guessing because it's like when anybody in detective is like bro you really don't have much to go on but um i swear if you follow that hunch it it leads you down past that you never thought you would end up down so don't be scared to discover yourself even if you don't have much to go on if you really have questions you really have things that you inspire to be or you really feel like you want to figure out why these things happen to you bro ask the questions ask the questions figure this [ __ ] out and you'll start finding things that you never would have thought about yourself about this reality about your future about your history about your past like bro it's so missed questions that i remember asking a question about the bible like who is they in the bible and bro they that question bro led me to a shitload of questions i questioned the bible and then after that i started to question everything because most of things that i mean in our reality for black people is based off the bible or spiritual stuff oh she looking at these damn uh bugs on the screen i'm like why are you trying to knock my camera down i said book squirrels but that one question led to government questions and that it led to so much [ __ ] because once you realize government and religion is handing out bro it was so much because you read the bible and you feel like you figure out who ended up killing it was elders it was elders government leaders priestess and even regular normal people and even somebody in his own group so now you like damn that those questions lead to you what's wrong with this reality a lot of the same [ __ ] well i said bro bro one question which was a big question like when they said we are made in the image we are made in the image of whatever and it was like when they that that part of the bible it makes it seem like there was more than one like we were made at the [ __ ] i hate explaining that [ __ ] because it's so simple but you have to be able to see that perspective let me let me find it bro i always slaughter it it's in genesis okay genesis 127. and it's different translation so you gotta find the right translation and many other things too but this is when i first asked the question this was my bible that i had so i wasn't even into all the other different translations but um see i'm reading it now and it says god created him in his own image but it used to say god created man in our image i'm like wait what who is our and then the uh i know i'm not tripping because i want to actually uh one of the catholic youth ministers that he was like he told me um father son the holy spirit i was like that don't sound right to me so i kept asking questions i could have just took that question but like no i'm gonna do a little bit more detective work thank you for your help well let me see i'm trying to figure out what if they're gonna say that in any of these but it all say in his image no yeah my bible said our image i don't know why these all say his i'm not getting one that says our but i had my own shared experience in this world with that i had x other people so i didn't just read it myself and like re read something differently i literally pulled it out showed the dudes like can you explain this line he read the line himself and gave me an answer but for some reason you know how they changed it up so god created mankind in our own image in his own image no i can't find it god made man according to the image of god he made him male female he made them um now i'm not finding it but yeah the other reason i said that that question led to so many other questions that led me to read the bible more it led me to ask so many more questions and it led me down a path of going to all other different type of religions and going down history and so much more [ __ ] but i'm telling you do that detective work um yeah of course in the beginning you're not going you're going to go down the wrong path or you might certain hints or clues may lead you down to the false information but keep doing the research and i promise you you're going to rediscover yourself you're going to reconnect to yourself and uh even connect to the actual real reality that we're in because if you're told to really let's just let's just say what we're told we're in this reality that's not as bad as it used to be like in the past as far as crime as far as like many different things racism war they're gonna tell you all those different things but if you go down history you'll get an accurate depiction of what reality that we're really in and how things have really haven't changed how things are just more covered up and covert but you see everything is still blading and things are still impoverished still things are still bad for certain groups of people for the most part um so yeah somebody could tell you the real like hey this reality is not that bad but when you start to do your own research you you see you can see it for yourself whether it's good bad or whatever you think i'm gonna tell you when you do research you're gonna find out the world is bad you'll find it you're gonna find whatever you need to find but um yeah that's about it for that part one division [ __ ] like that let me see how far i made it 40 minutes in yeah so going into the dreams let me see oh [ __ ] oh [ __ ] i got a whole another good topic um the dreams i'll leave the dreams to after that give my mind a little time to separate the two thoughts from the one division in the dreams but um what's really right and wrong will be our next topic every space have different rules this kind of goes back into the tree of life conversation that i had every tree is different um whatever every tree requires what uh how what the trees suck out of you is every tree is different or what it requires out of your shouldn't say suck but what it requires out of you is different and the reason i asked was what's really right and wrong because when you go on twitter when you go on social media where you go where there's a group of people everybody rights and wrong is different we try to make right and wrong seem monolithic like if murder is bad there shouldn't be wars right but yet we can justify murder in certain aspects um age limit and marriage or even the the age limit to have sex with a uh from what a minorism to what an adult is in america 18. [ __ ] that not even in america and texas is 18 and oklahoma is 16 and uh somewhere else it's like 15. with the parent consent it's like 15 or 14. even in america so when you go to other countries yeah what's right and wrong is a 13 year old person can date a young person or older person so right and wrong is not monolithic especially in this world especially when you consider different cultures religions and spaces but a lot of time we get on here and that's what what causes battles this would cause misjudgment it it causes a lot of things to go wrong or a lot of confliction a lot of tension in this world because we all think right and wrong is monolithic and it's not as far as i'm concerned it's not for instance what you can do in school you can't do anything like boxing get out of here it's enough food for everybody b but um and they score they scrapped they played king of the hill in this song [Laughter] he got right in her ass oh she got right there oh dude they were right all right let's just do y'all expect to see that back to back so what you can do in the streets you can't do it in school matter of fact what you can do in the streets you can't even bring that [ __ ] in home so you go out be with your friends doing all the hoopla hoopla as soon as you get in the house you're a whole different person was right and wrong in the streets what you can do right and wrong with your boys you can't do with your girl you can't even do with your friend or yo i mean with your mom or your with your family household i should say what you can do at school not gonna fly at home what you do at home not gonna fly school what you do at home won't fly at your church [ __ ] or maybe we will sometimes church and churches be hunting they be hunting they be doing some nasty [ __ ] in the churches man but um rules how would i say this or right and wrong is subject to the space that it's in and a lot of times we judge other people knowing we're in different spaces so let me let me get back to some notes but that's a it's a big point that i feel like a lot of contention or a lot of like i said con conflicting energies in this world because we all judging each other all trying to tell hey this is how you do this that's how you do this for instance what modern women do what's right for modern women and what's wrong for modern women it's reverse for traditional women so you get moderate attacking traditionally when you get traditional women taking them out of women because they they basically either you want to be what do you call that word what we call white acceptance you want to be accepted by everyone or you want everyone to be like you or whatever but i don't i don't know it's many different reasons i feel like we try to get other people to accept us or get other people to like i don't know what this whole monolithic [ __ ] is i really don't it's com like i know i mean i get it i talked about it before we all think is one and so many we think it's one god you think it's one way to do things like no it's multitudes of ways and multitudes of patterns same with the woman women's path for women's movement of women's choice and women really have choice that can still choose to be traditional but modern women want all women to be modern and they'll be like oh you still wanna you still wanna be um you still wanna find a husband and just have kids you don't wanna work you don't wanna do this they're like no no we don't traditional women you don't really get saying hey modern women you're stupid it's usually modern women telling traditional women they're wrong but it's like bro let them live you got your life why does what they do affects how you live a lot of times um a lot of people want to be keeping up with the johnson mentality if everybody ain't doing they don't feel right or if the master's not doing it don't feel right but right now there's a big gap down the line with women there's one half want to be monitored there's another have one to be traditional and it's you you say there's even some in the middle they're stuck in the middle of it can't make up their mind jumping from side to side so um that caused a lot of confliction but if it was just one way or the other way yeah it would it like say 90 was modern like no one would really care about traditional women they just call them crazy um stupid or whatever and just cast them off but the fact that it's not the majority of the people and there's still a good population that don't support what they do they feel like they got to transition everyone or it's not valid and it's not true live your life and don't care who else is watching or don't care who else is living in life similar to you but a lot of times i say a lot what makes us feel more comfortable if the more majority people are doing it i guess it deems it it's right but that's certain people's perspective i guess and i'm even assuming why that's why they think like that but it's clear as they women keep trying to like passive aggressively not traditional women like oh you don't want to be traditional it's like if that's the way you have to diss yourself for being traditional is by um attacking it to make you feel better then i mean why is that such a threat to you you need to really answer those personal questions it's not traditional women fault that you feel so attacked by traditional women and they're not even bothered by you or not even worried about you in the first place a lot of modern women are triggered by traditional women i don't know why i don't know why it's like i said i think it's because they want all women to be all inclusive but if you have women's choice you should be comfortable with women making their own choice so it's weird and it's conflicting so i try not to get too much into it but i said what's right and wrong for traditional women is not right and wrong for modern women let's move on um what's cool in the streets won't fly at school or in a professional setting we all know that but a lot of us we just caught up in these worlds like well that [ __ ] could fly in the street so i'm gonna make it fly in a professional world i'm gonna make it fly in um in the school world and if not i'm changing up and i'm missing it i don't want to change it i'm always going to be true to this whatever but that's that's so stupid and so um it lacks so much perspective because yeah what's right and wrong in the streets is a small perspective of what goes on in life there's so many spaces that you can't make all these spaces except what you can do in one other space like no if that's the case then this place is now the streets we have our rules we have our boundaries because that's what makes this space even become this space but when you start to make other spaces if you try to make all make us adapt to the same rules of your space then we're not us and that's a lot of time there's many women conversation women want men to be women because they want to tell us how to do things and be things it's like well okay well if that's if we take your rules and what's right for a woman what's wrong for a woman and we start to adapt those rules and to us we become women like same for if you if you have a professional setting and you like man we bout to try this [ __ ] street or we i want to bring elements to the street [ __ ] now that it's not no longer professional now you're this so-called professional business is the streets so and the same thing for a professional [ __ ] what you can do in a family setting or in a personal setting you can't do in a professional setting because or what you're doing a religious setting you can't do in a professional setting because in professional you can't care in business you can't care you can't take things personal you uh the whole family thing that's only a play on that's just a marketing tool there's no real family because at the end of the day you can't take things personal so if you start taking things personal in business it's no longer business you like that that's how things work in this world so we try to make things right and like hey no businesses have to care about us businesses have to to consider us or not consider us of course they need to consider their demographic like it'll be stupid not to but um in the corporate world they have to care about us they need to think like bro no bro like their bottom line is their numbers like their bottom line is making sure business is productive and if you're starting to get tech things personal business can no longer be consistently functional and productive so that's why when you have what's right and wrong in business you can completely been working for this world this person's been working with for you for 10 years but once they numbers don't match your goals you got to get rid of them yeah it may suck when you talk about a family perspective if you used to do that or um a real relate like a um like i said a personal relationship yeah that'd be crazy to do there's some untrustworthy [ __ ] somebody's been working for you for 10 years and their value is their value but the fact that their value is out of your range now you have to let them go even though they're still valuable to your company that'll be seen as some [ __ ] up [ __ ] in a sense especially if it's a personal relationship or a friendship but it's business you have to do what's right you have to do what's the that take care of the bottom line and a lot of people don't like that [ __ ] about business but ultimately you're not a business person you're family oriented or you're uh religious oriented but you best believe a business don't have to give a [ __ ] about your religion or your family paradigm or any other different morals and beliefs you have because the morals of belief with business is get to the money expand and uh solidify in a sense i'm kind of making those things up but for the most part it's just a summary so when you start adding other things that don't do those things like family perspectives or caring about others or um having empathy and [ __ ] like that like no bro you need sharks you need snakes in business because that's how you get further along your business religion would deemify that family family paradigms would deemify that uh other maybe team oriented things would um demonify that because it's like nah but it ain't the right thing to do but business have different sets of rules and boundaries and it wouldn't be business if it didn't so that's what i kind of want to say about us and what's really right and wrong a lot of times we try to make everything all the spaces have the right and wrong of this like it has to be the same what's right and wrong in government it's completely different for what's right and wrong in the streets like we know that from hand-in-hand but you can't be like i'm still gonna do my street [ __ ] and government just gotta accept it no government's still gonna lock your ass up if you get caught you have to understand the realities because if you you think oh just cuz i'm street the no other rules are part of me because i only plow the street rules like no if they catch you doing the street [ __ ] they're going to put your ass in jail so you better be aware of all the rules going back to the bible my mama said this a long time ago you better know the laws of the land and the laws of the lands are changing depending on what spaces you're in yeah you may be well equipped and well adapted know how to you you're the man in the streets you know the rules you live by you live by the code [ __ ] you are the cold [ __ ] honor you [ __ ] got statues of you in the hood yeah you're proud of that but you can't take that same [ __ ] into the other worlds now yeah you can take aspects of that because there's aspects of everything and [ __ ] like there's aspects in the street [ __ ] that has like their aspects of business in the street [ __ ] but you better understand that you only can take certain aspects of street [ __ ] don't try to take all the street [ __ ] because you've been exonerating that street [ __ ] now you have to be accepted by the business [ __ ] like no that ain't how [ __ ] work or you know you have to be a like no that ain't how [ __ ] work so you better understand the law of the land because it's it's it's different everywhere you go it's just like going to somebody else one person house you can walk in with shoes another person house you can't or in your house you can so just because what you can do in your house when you go to somebody else's house you're like nah i don't [ __ ] with your house because you i can't do this in it oh [ __ ] it's not your house you wanna make it your house now well that's disrespectful to somebody else that already has set their rules and boundaries and their payments on that house so that's how i kind of look at a lot of times we want to do we want all houses to assimilate our house but if that's the case that's disrespectful to what these people have built and what they have they vision for their house let their vision be their vision let their house be a house and if you want to [ __ ] with them you need to adapt and stop expecting them to adapt to you because that's the case it's no longer their [ __ ] and that's why you if you want to make the if you want to make the rules become the boss a lot of times we're not the we're not the boss but we start trying to make rules and dictate [ __ ] when you go to a job you want to tell them how they're not going to treat you well [ __ ] is are you the boss are you the are you the manager well if that's the case you really can't tell them [ __ ] and you need to be able to adapt to that because they know where you're gonna go they pay you and you can tell them what to do it's just not feasible [ __ ] like yeah they're in a perfect world maybe but i don't even know how that would work in a perfect world because it's irrational if it was your [ __ ] you could tell them but it's not your [ __ ] so how are you going how are you going to be a beggar and a chooser in a sense i don't like to call somebody that's working and earning their money and bigger but i'm just saying if you're trying to act and want things to be perfect at a job [ __ ] it ain't your job you didn't create that vision you don't you don't know the bottom line you don't understand how production inventory and so many other things that you may have a problem with or why they're like that you just you just are grown on this ploy because like whatever but yeah man that's why i say a lot of times we get lost um and and and caught up in a little [ __ ] and then that [ __ ] i think that's the biggest problem with people not being able to be successful we want everything to be our way or the highway and without resources that [ __ ] is unfeasible at the level that a lot of us have when we go back into resistance and report and support the resistance and support that we're in you don't have those resources you don't have that type of say so so it is it gets very confusing for people because we we want we feel like if we ain't going our way our morals instead of getting dismissed or um our or um what do you call it when you're supposed to be street but um we're selling out and stuff like that but it's no you're being adaptive you know your vision but sometimes your vision has to allow you to go into other spaces that are different than yours but that's just what you have to do you have to use these other visions and spaces and rules and laws you have to get through them to create yours come on my cat's so affectionate if y'all want a cat come get i'll mail her off to you she she's super affectionate she's super loving and if you got another cat that's what she needs because she grew up in the sisters of well she had five by five sisters and then we ended up adopting them and we only had one so i mean yeah that was cool but she's a high energy high affectionate cat i don't have any use for it i'll just play it but no y'all do want a kid i give a boy she served her purpose with me i still love her though but um so moving on to what i was saying we want uh things to all go our way she start biting my feet or nibbling i should say okay so i'm gonna bring up uldridge uh it's called the last kingdom he wanted to get back to his own kingdom he wanted to um that had been taken away from him and ultimately he had to go through other kings and their rulership and the way that they go about things to achieve wealth to achieve value he still had standards morals and codes that he had often oh my god get out of there often people question that he changed up too much but ultimately he always had the same goal he just had to adapt himself and sometimes stretch his boundaries and morals to get to his goals but a lot of times let's ask this question so say you have a vision right that you want to get to how do you know the morals and guidelines that you have is enough to even help you get to that vision a lot of times we have to adjust and adapt our rules that we thought we had why because that's what our vision even requires like we be so strict on how we view things and what's selling out and what's right and wrong and a lot of times to get to the goal that you have you might have to do some things that's wrong because like what did i say if you depending on what that is if you're creating a business you got to do things that you could be considered wrong in a family paradigm or in a religious paradigm or in a street paradigm you have to operate in ways that you wouldn't necessarily operate in those other spaces so what you would normally consider right and wrong all your life when it's coming to start and create a business you got to start operating some of those wrongs it's not really wrong it's right for the it's right for your vision it's right for your your the path that you're trying to walk down but the fact that you you honestly not really aware of what it all is going to take because no one's really going to be aware of all it's going to take we still try to dictate and make sure our morals and things are in check because if you go back into the last kingdom he was a um it was it was like being a christian and then it was like being a a nomad or um they said godless or some [ __ ] like that i forgot what they call them so his old people were like bro you settling are you doing all this work for him and this and that he like bro you don't understand my vision you really don't understand his vision and i'm getting to my [ __ ] no matter how much you think i'm selling out at night and that could have hurt him because he like bro this is the people i care about this is my past this is the people that raised me this is the people that gave me the morals and it's the intensity that i have today if they're this judging me damn i must be doing the wrong thing it's like no they just don't see your vision and what's right and wrong for them you you it's no longer right and wrong for you because you're not aligned to them anymore not like you used to be yeah you still [ __ ] with them yes things that's aspects of them that you still resonate with but ultimately y'all are on a different path now so what's right and wrong for them is no longer right and wrong for you but it's hard for us to realize that in a family setting we understand that for a lot a lot of times because what our parents or our family may think is right and wrong for us they're like brother [ __ ] what y'all think i'm doing what's right for me parents all the time think you're living wrong but it's right for you it's wrong for them but right for you and if once people can understand that yeah you may think i'm living wrong but long as i'm happy in my rights we can still be accepting of each other well a lot of times it's like no you're living in the wrong i judge you you know why would i want to be around you if you can't even accept the rights that i choose to live in even though they may be disagreeable with you and that's why people can't uh mesh like they really can because they think they're right and wrong is sick like if you if you're not being right and wrong by their way and path you you can't be around me in a sense and that's understandable for certain aspects for sure like if you you taking care of a business and this person just can't they just gotta be street everywhere they go of course you gotta cut them off like there's not even a judgment that's just reality like oh bro you you're not understanding what it's going to take for you to be here but a lot of times with the parents and [ __ ] that's just um ego like oh i have a vision for my kid to be this way and like since they're not doing it that way they're wrong it's like no bro that's too simplistic that's too simplistic if i'm happy if i'm enjoying my life if i if i'm if i'm able to take care of myself yeah you may wanted me to be a lawyer a doctor a nurse but i'm happy being an artist that's um living minimal but i can still create whenever i want freely or whatever so it everybody don't move like that but some some family and some parents can't accept that for sure like well that's just who he is we understand that's not what we wanted for him but he's happy or they're they're they're fine they're they're figuring it out themselves so that that's those are healthy parent relationships but a lot of time the toxic pain relationships are like no it's my way or the highway and at that case when you when you were able to have your own [ __ ] that's where it's like well [ __ ] it highway i choose so um yeah man let's let me let me see if i got any other scenarios or examples can you stop you know i don't like when you do that you know she got thinking she got them she about to start running around i could see it she got that extra energy um yeah she about to start dipping let me see what's right in society may be wrong in religion we have many spaces that conflict each other and coexisting within each other as well so that'd be another problem with things like that be confusing let me see i think i wrote another way to explain it i don't want to skip over it we have personal rules that will conflict with other people personal uh other people and spaces and that's just like me saying what you do in your house other people may not accept or so if you try to do it in a house or they space that's conflicting a lot of times that's where the battle comes so are you judging me because it's what i do in my house and you can't do in your house why you not letting me do this in your house well [ __ ] i have my boundaries and spaces if you respect it you don't a lot of people try to push their spaces and their beliefs and their ideas and i don't know why i don't know why we have this urge to yes i do i don't know why we have the urge to like try to push these beliefs on people like yeah you can convey them but once you can see that hey this is it's just we're disagreeing or they they understand but it's just not it's just not something that we can align on what was i about to say if we can't agree on a line on it we still try to uh force them to we try to force them to become aligned to it and i think it's like who are you trying to convince that your way is right or wrong are you trying to convince yourself or me because even if i don't want to do it you should be having like well hey bro you tripping bro like if i'm eating this good ass food i'm like hey bro you want to try this it's good as [ __ ] he's like nah i'm good bro i already liked it like well all right let me keep eating this more for me it's more for me but we try to force the spoon down they throat that's like now they want to fight knock the spoon on him like well now they knocked his food out the hand like you're wasting my food like nah [ __ ] trying to force feed some [ __ ] so i think it's like who are you trying to convince this food is good me or you [ __ ] just enjoy your good ass food if it's so good and if even if i don't want it it shouldn't make your food less good in your eyes but a lot of times if everybody's not inclusive the food not as good anymore like me and my mom were just talking about this this is kind of a random topic literally keeping up with the jones can make food good there's places that people go to and the line is always packed but the [ __ ] is nasty but the fact that it has notoriety a trend and everybody knows about it people are lined up and pack their heart every day knowing that the food not good but the fact that everybody eats there and everybody approve of it it magically make your senses ignore all the food that's not decent for the most people that don't have like a real take like a um their own [ __ ] uh idea of what food may be what's whatever but you see it you see it it happens all the time it's this mediocre ass place but it has this undeniable buzz and everybody gonna keep gassing it up everybody gonna keep gassing it up a chick-fil-a for example people keep gassing that place up they got good service don't get it twisted but the food is mediocre food is mediocre but the fact that it has so much publicity and so much notoriety people going to keep packing that whole out like it's a five-star restaurant and i've seen other restaurants that's decent like they just pack it out why don't i even mention that though because it's like who are you trying to convince and a lot of people that's what they're trying to do they're trying to trick people into or they trying to trick themselves into believing that this [ __ ] is great because if more people say it's great it's great even though you know you haven't struggled you haven't um a hard time trying to digest what you what you say is great because i like i said who are you trying to convince me or you because if it's really good you're going to keep your head down and keep eating you're not going to be too concerned if you ain't like somebody like brian getting millions of dollars right now i'm getting i'm making millions of dollars right now hey bro you should try to take this path on they're like nah i'm good you're gonna try to force them like you ain't you ain't gonna try to force it like well bro let me keep making my millions like this [ __ ] tripping like i guess they don't want to be rich i guess but now we take that same scenario with monogamy or polygamy because that's one of these topics that everybody try to force on each other like oh now we have to be monogamous or if you're polygamy it's like oh no this is the right way like no either you are you are or you you're not like you for instance i don't have many topics on polygamy and monogamy because you either you accept it or you don't it's not really something that you convince or convey to somebody like there's benefits and will not give me those big benefits and polygamy obviously there's negatives in both like that's not something i really have to convey to people that's just common sense in my eyes but that's so the reason i say i don't make many videos because it's like either you know if you know you know if you don't there's not really it's not really anything i really can say to kind of help you get over that hump in a sense like it's just something that you have to discover for yourself in a sense that's how i kind of feel but um that's one of those topics where we are trying to force monogamy on or polygamy or not is really the monogamy and we we try to crucify polygamy like no that's just demonifying but it's like how bad is polygamy like so many people claim monogamy but act in polygamous ways so who are you really trying to convince that polygamy is bad if we can use if i will use it in that perspective a lot of times people are demon focal look at me so much it's like bro have you even thought about the benefits of polygamy why do you think it's so bad is your one insecurity the only reason that you can't even be open to this idea not even you have to live it a lot of people just crucify it not even try to understand it and when i say understand i'm not saying you have to do it because you understand it i'm just saying a lot of people would be like nah that's just stupid i could never or you dumb if you do that you say the same thing about monogamy but i don't because i understand that that's how people live and people choose to and that's fine for them but you can say the same thing about monogamy and it's like well if i was a polygamous person trying to take monogamy's badge like well who are you trying to convince god to live your polygamy's life if you're so happy why are you trying to convince people that monogamy's bad if if your life is so good go live that life and that's where i don't know if i'm still commanding a message but a lot of times if it's so right for you why are you trying to convince others like go live your path go be happy with yourself but the fact that like i said we try to convince others that's that i think there's some deep rooted thing of not really having confidence in what we believe in ourselves we have to have other people walking on the side of us because i guess the lonely path if you don't see many people doing it it feels like it's not the right path because i mean i said to keep it up with the genres of believing the masses are always kind of doing the right thing for people in the spirituality we understand that there's masses or just because there's a majority of people doing it don't make it right like popularity don't make something right just because you're popular but a lot of people don't buy into those things you like perfect perfect it's a school paradigm we're still in school we operate if it's not popular it's not acceptable but so many things or people that wasn't popular that became successful keep living their life fine not being popular and productive and happy in life but a lot of us need things to be popular and if it's not popular i can't even move with it because it's like we still chasing popularity from high school almost that's what i would say with a lot of these trends or different rights and wrongs and ideas if you're right and wrong is not popular you question your right and wrong or it makes it harder for you to go through with it because that's not the popular opinion and ultimately that's some high school [ __ ] because what's right and wrong and popularity is always going to be fickle like it's never going to be steady it's never going to be consistent because popularity is a pop it's inconsistent it's not something that you can say that you can build on long term or longevity or that you can have because some of the things that's the hugest things in life is lose popularity over time even though they're still the same operating and function popularity is a different beast to understand and maintain popularity is something that nobody really can understand that's like true like that's like with clothing trends and [ __ ] like that like that [ __ ] is always ever changing so if you're chasing something for be popular it's like who are you really trying to convince you really don't believe that your [ __ ] is right and wrong you just chasing popularity because that's what demon that's what that's your ultimate judgment on life if it's popular or not and most people move and operate like that they don't [ __ ] with it unless it's popular and if that's the case drugs act being an addict i'm trying to think about some of the negative things that's popular i don't want to get into sexuality but the things that we make popular don't necessarily mean it's right or cool or everybody should do but a lot of times if it's popular we got to make everybody accept that or if not you're wrong and that's just not the case this is not the case but i think i was like why do everybody live like that or why do most people live like that i'm thinking high school we all wanted to be popular and not we are but a good majority of people wanted to be popular in high school that wanted to be accepted in high school let's not even say popular accepted in high school because a lot of times we wasn't accepted and we damn sure wasn't popular i can't say we because i had phases of it but for the most part i had a good majority where i wasn't accepted or popular so we all seeking acceptance because we've been not accepted for so long in life especially in the beginning so when we try to have our morals and rights and stuff like that we try to push them on others because that's what we seem that's why we that's what we qualify as acceptance if other people can approve of it if other people can acknowledge it then then i'm accepted in life but what happens when that trend starts to fade you start to fade with it because the only real acceptance that you should be trying to accept is from yourself if you're happy with it you're happy with it a lot of times we we start to give that acceptance to external things whether it's our family whether it's the uh our peers whether it's society or whatever and just because those things do accept like if you accept in a society except okay well we all align but just because they don't accept it don't mean you can't accept it that's what i'm trying to say and a lot of times your society and your peers don't accept it it makes it harder for you to go down that path which is [ __ ] your path your house your rules your regulations your your kingdom or your what you want to build so yeah that's that's one thing i have to say about that like i always wonder like why do we try to force our opinions and belief on others is because we we crave acceptance most people crave acceptance and then what's even sadder is some people crave popularity which is even another beast in itself acceptance i can understand craving acceptance because if somebody's able to accept something i mean it makes sense but ultimately bro you have to have enough faith and belief in yourself that if you can accept it then that should be enough and if you find any like-minded people that's just um more notoriety or that's just a check not even a checklist that's just a caveat i'm like oh um a treat a tip that's just something that may come with it but that's not something that should be expected or something that should shift your needle on belief for morals or whatever but just going back into uh i wanted to break down uldrich and the last kingdom again it's okay to go through these other spaces that you don't have the same morals as you i [ __ ] so imagine if i say i'm not going to operate in a business paradigm at all because they're just not aligned to my morals and beliefs well you're not going to get anywhere in life because that's the ones that either pay you or that's what you need to build to become successful even if it's for yourself so a lot of times you still have to use these these paradigms and spaces that that you really don't love their rules and laws but it goes into another saying you can't serve two gods you're still serving your god even though you're operating these uh these spaces or you're still serving your goals even though you have to go through these spaces you just have to understand the law of the land which is a message from your god yeah this this law of the land um may not be accepting of me may not be what i will tell you to go through but you need to understand and move through it even though i'm still in your heart i will guide you through this law i will guide you through this land just understand the law of the land so you can maintain your your uh maintain life and through the maintaining life i will give you the path so i will give you the the guidance through that so it's two examples in the bible um it was in uh jesus was talking to someone talking about um making payments or giving like payments to the church and it was like should we give payments to the church that he was like yeah pay the church because that's the law of the land but you still understand that your god is your god let me see if i can find it it wasn't uh it was in it was in mark and it was talking about they were talking to like the pharisees or whatever or the pharaoh he was requiring repayments and people was trying to um basically break down should we pay this tonight and jesus said yes you can pay him and still serve your god you still can follow the rules of his land and still serve your god um let me see if i can find it oh paying taxes to the caesar what is it mark 11 15 bit i'd be wanting to remember [ __ ] so bad but it'd be difficult on reaching jerusalem jesus entered the temple of course and began driving out those who were buying and selling there um because he was they were operating business inside of religion and he was like this is a religious space you cannot bring business into a religious space this is not accepted here but they were trying to merge those two things which you see in reality they try to merge two spaces religion is often business so how can it be like you got to pay attention if you're a business they have a bottom line what's their bottom line making money and keeping you bringing their money in that's why i say you better watch religion because religion is supposed to be one thing it's supposed to be a space but it's been merged into many different different things so watch that jesus pay attention to that off the rip i'm just talking about how certain spaces are spaces for a reason and when you try to change their rules and paradigm they're not that space no more you can't call this a temple if you're selling it and and having business in this and most religions that's what they are a business or connected to the government how is this religion free how is this a religious free temple in space if it has these other different things operating in it that would those things operate in itself make it not the temple anymore makes it a place of business because business and religion is not one thing that go hand in hand by any means like i said the things that you do in business a religion with crucify edema no empathy there's no heart there's no caring they talk about the the needle and your it's it's better for you to uh uh a rich it's easier for a camel to get his head his body through a head of a needle than it is for a rich person to get into heaven it's more talking about the things that you that that statement is really talking about the business acumen and the different things that requires the person you to be to be a good business person to be a good business person a lot of times don't make you a good religious person that's just what i'm saying like it's not that you're a bad person in general in business you're the greatest person out you're the best thing smoking if a business want to make money they need you but when it comes to religion it's different so i don't know if i it makes sense to y'all let's keep reading he overtrained the tables of the money changes and benches of those selling does and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts and as he taught them he said it is not written my house will be called a house of prayer of all nations but you have made it a den of robbers and and businessmen because what the businessmen do they they seek to get the best and and uh in a sense like they're they're going to get the most out of the situation but i won't even say that but business and robbers in a sense roberts is a very vague statement daniel roberts then of manipulators then of uh master salesman now you you've seen them dudes that's in the uh when you're walking into the mall and they trying to put some cologne on you and [ __ ] they're gonna do every different little thing they're gonna put the product in your hand they'll let you test the product they're gonna do all these manipulating tactics to get you to buy that even though you're there for prayer and other things these people are not distracting you from prayer they're robbing you of your time and energy and while you're here so when i say that's why i wanted to break down robbers it's not just oh we have business here so people can come here and rob like no like in general you're robbing people of what their reasoning supposed to be here so in many ways you can look at robert i just wanted to break that down the chief priest and teachers of the law heard this and began looking looking for a way to kill him for they feared him because the holy crowd was amazed by his teachings and it's simple they're about their bottom line in business like i said if this person is he literally said because the whole crowd is amazed by this teaching they're enamored they want to learn because most people go to church but they're not inspired to go to church they just do it because they're supposed to do this this jesus literally inspired these people because they're like damn you right it is supposed to be that way no it's not like that but thank you for opening our vision because we would have never seen that because we were stuck in the status quo of things so he literally influenced them but like a religion or church is supposed to do inspire right but the fact that that's not their bottom line because inspiration don't necessarily lead to money and them flipping a product they have to find a way to kill him that's why i said you got to be careful with business and religion because those two things don't go hand in hand so and then goes into the other statements and talking about what's right and wrong in one place like i said we're so quick to be all accepting of certain things and being all accepting means that you have a monolithic thing of right and wrong low key so let's move on now move on let's keep reading uh as they approach jerusalem blah blah blah it's the whole chapter i just want to read the finishing of he said 411 right okay i'm still reading my bad yo because that's not when i was i was looking i i think i'm right here but i haven't found exactly what i was looking for dang it bro why did it tell me mark 11. okay why did it say mark 11 but now i said mark 12 when i opened the actual link the pharisees and supporters of the hero and tipus tried to trick jesus by asking him is it right is it right to pay taxes or caesar or not so they they actually a lot of a lot of people do this when they argue with you you have to be careful of it they actually a pre-loaded question and they already have uh um they already have the answer and they already have a um a motive and asking this question so when you ask the question they're basically entrapping you with the question in itself because they they feel that they put you in the corner when they ask you this question in the first place a lot of times when people ask questions about certain things in a debate it's not really asking you to really get clarification but to deemify your point and your perspective and to put you on the corner because it's more about the popularity thing if i put this person in the corner if i if i trip this person up um now they're no longer seen valid even though i did that on purpose and and and this person is answering all these things with the right intention and answering from the really answering from their heart and not trying to i know this person is really answering at their heart and really trying to get their point across but i'm gonna keep trying to trip them up because i just don't agree with them basically and a lot of people do that so be careful when you're really trying to convey your points with other people a lot of times they're just being passive aggressive just to denounce you and not even really get clarification on what you really believe and a lot of times that just um that that really hurts you in a sense because you start to be like whoa if the popular opinion don't go with me then am i wrong or whatever or they just the identification in general you start to take it as a guilt trip they'll guilt trip you in a sense for you believing in the way you believe but let's move on so antipas tried to trick jesus by asking is it right to pay taxes to caesar or not some years earlier in eight uh 680 judas and the gulen a rabbi with his own group of followers had led a rebellion against the romans claiming truly religious jews shouldn't pay taxes to caesar an earthly king whose worship as a god his views were his views were still widely held by jewish nationalists so they know somebody that's in his path and his belief system um how they used to think and now they're gonna help him to this this this that standard with all lack of perspective in a sense so let's just move on in this when i say lack of perspective it's like even if jesus answered it differently it's so childish and nitpicky like i i i don't know if you know you know but i don't want to get so stuck on that let's keep reading jesus asked the pharisees to produce a dineros a small silver coin with the roman emperor head on it worth the days worth of wage jesus showed them the portion and says give to caesar the things that caesar's give to caesar the things that are caesar's this is his coin this is his money if he asks for taxes you give him the taxes this is the law of the land and give to god the things that are god because this money is just money but god don't give a [ __ ] about that money god is god god has his own thing so this i was saying i brought this up because it's not necessarily it's not necessarily that you're serving two masters when you're going to these different spaces it's not that you necessarily selling out when you're going into these different spaces it's not that you not following your god or not following your path to your vision just because you're going to operate in these spaces that you were seeing ungodly or whatever you know what's required of your law you know what's required of your land excuse me you know what the laws are do what is required so you can keep operating um so you can keep doing god's work because if you don't follow their laws and lands they're going to make god's work harder for you because they're going to trip you up they're going to demonify you they're going to put you in jail they're going to try to kill you and if they do all that god can get you out of those things but it's not as easy unless you follow the law if you follow the land you can do that you can you basically a camouflaged you camouflage and they're wise and what they're doing you you look just like them but you're operating with god and that's even more deadly than trying to be a rebel because now you have this highlight on your head like oh obviously this person don't go about the things that we go about and it's easy to pinpoint you out and call you out and now it's harder for you to do god's work uh freely because they always try to demonify god no matter how much they try to say it they do it every day in this society but you got to play the game that's basically what jesus said right here give to caesar the things that are caesar and give to god things that are god that's mark 12 17 jews were used to paying the temple tax and pure silver coins that did not bear the same name of the earthly king so that's why uh when he go back into when they tried to trip him up he even knew why he was trying to get tripped up or listen i don't know if this is out of jesus moth himself or oh this might be a um breakdown of the expert jews were used to paying the temple text and pure silver coin that did not bear the name of any earthly king so that was they were asking for something that wasn't theirs but if you're going to use their money if you're going to use the thing that they own and accept that follow the law of the land if they require a tax for you to be able to use this money you have to pay it you have to adapt you have to adjust and with god there's nothing with wisdom that's nothing so yeah we don't have to read anymore that but my second point in jesus uh they were crucifying i believe jews are israelites i'm not sure um by lions or something like that they was putting them in the lion's den or something like that i don't remember what it was i don't remember if it was moses or uh uh israel i can't remember exactly but they were asking people um are you roman or are you whatever and if you didn't say you were roman catholic you had they were they were killing you so either you either you could either you admit it that you either you admit that you denounce your past beliefs and religions and say that you're now accepting these new religions or you get killed the person that was in a predicament asked god what do i do he told them to lie to them that's what god said lie to them tell them that you're doing this tell them that you're like this operating this way but still have me in your heart so yeah you can go on these spaces and pretend to follow their morals and rules and beliefs but you know what's right and wrong you know what you have to do and you still have god in your heart let's go to the book of eli don't necessarily want to kill anybody but when you're walking down the path of god if somebody just put it in their spirit that they have to stop you well i have to kill you even though it's thou shalt not murder that shall not kill and when was right and wrong in normal circumstances when i talk about things being right and wrong and even god said that thou shalt not kill but when it comes to walking this goddamn path and and i'm not saying oh i'm about to go on crusades and try to invade people and [ __ ] like that no if you're really impeding me and i try to walk this way i walk that way i walk this way you won't let me like you won't let me go any way i want because this god path is very adaptive it'll make a u-turn you'll make a detour real quick just to get right back on path if something's in front of it in a sense or it'll help you be able to find a way to pick that thing up out of your path but if it's just being that difficult yeah god will help you get rid of that thing whether it's through physical force do whatever tactics that it has to do and that that's righteous because this is god path like i said not no invading and not you getting the spirit of oh now i need to change these people i need to take over this land that's different i'm saying when you when you have your path and just this person just or this energy just won't it just keep impeding it no matter what yeah it gets to a point where you have to kill it and that's right in that scenario so what's even right and wrong and normal pretenses of the bible and christianity can still be circumstantial right and wrong circumstantial is what the this whole conversation should be depending on your spaces um depending on your spaces or whatever so yeah jesus or god tell that person to lie to them it was like keep your life and keep living through me you can say you're one thing but in your heart you know what you are as simple as that i can go on these business things i could be i could i could be i have they might have to be a snake or i might have to be a whatever i have to be but long as you keep living with god in you and your your vision and your your your your vision and path or as long as you keep your vision and your goals and your guiding heart you can still operate with those spaces it's not going to these places are not more powerful than your god and your beliefs they're not going to change you unless you allow yourself to be changed and manipulated so a lot of times i say this and i'll be done with this part of the topic a lot of times we we feel like we're so easily manipulated we're so easily swift and changed and that's just a lack of hindsight and belief in yourself either you allow yourself to be changed and persuaded pursued or whatever or not but ultimately we all have the enough power in us to resist and know what's right for us and wrong for us so if you're being persuaded it's because you wanted to if you're being manipulated by something because you wanted to don't blame those things for being all manipulative or all so powerful like no bro you went in that space and started acting the food and forgot your god and forgot your principles in fact that everybody else was doing it you started to do it too because that was the easiest thing to do like no you know you're supposed to go in there and play a game and act a certain way but you wasn't supposed to bring that [ __ ] back home and the fact that you start doing that is when you start losing your vision and your guard but that's on you losing focus because you posted your vision is supposed to be stronger than any [ __ ] thing that you're facing so you being distracted [ __ ] like that i can understand it to a certain point but ultimately nothing should completely distract you from your vision and go because if it can i mean it really wasn't a vision and goal actually was a an idea or an um it just wasn't a vision and gold it was something more short-sighted it was an idea it was it was maybe an experience that you thought about but it wasn't a vision and go vision and go bro that if you really believe ain't no if you really connected to that [ __ ] i know really pulling you off that path not long term at least well let's move on i might leave that topic my next topic for um the next podcast dream cultivation because it's very similar like i said with one division with um you have key places in your your your mind in your dream world you have also a human reality that you have reference to a lot of times when you like i say these spaces usually reflections of things that you've experienced in this life for instance your dreams usually give like when you do something good a good accomplishment it's going to have a reflection of something that you did good and accomplishment in this life so i used to be good at football whenever i had i am aligned to good things in football i would get a football type dream or a sports type dream because that's what i resonate with the most so if i'm on a good path or so say say i'm working on myself or growing in myself they're gonna show me in practice there's little different things that let me know i'm in a dream to help me cultivate that idea but um versus like if i was doing bad or if i was doing good will show me winning a football game or if i was doing bad it would show me dropping or missing a tackle like in life in a sense or how i was feeling it'll show a reflection of that and it's something that i resonate with so a lot of times when you have these dreams you you're having a lot of times the places that you go are going to be reflections of places that you've been or things that you've done in life so a lot of times when you go into these places you can start to be like well that's a little different and this is a little different so you can explore these things a lot more it's the same thing with the spinning top and exception you you it's a little difficult to sometimes realize that you're in this place because a lot of times it's so similar but when you find those key things that are different now you can be like oh i'm in a lucid dream in a sense or i'm in a dream don't don't really you don't really have to say that but you start to just understand that [ __ ] um in a sense while you're in a dream but that's not really so much important because lucid dreams kind of hype in anyways like they're just gonna pop up on you anyways but when you recognize that you're in a place that you've been before explore it and use your subconscious memory of where you've been at in real in the real life because it's very difficult it's not okay let me say quebec it's not very difficult but it's easy to get yourself taken out of a dream especially if you get too so like if you get too aware but don't like i said don't get too caught up in that but just understand like bro this house looks just like my house this can't be my house and suddenly that little subtle thing should let you know you're in a dream it's something that you have to work on over time and it's something i have been working over on time because a lot of times i forget that i'm in a dream because it's [ __ ] so similar it's so similar but it's little keys and hints to help you realize you're in a dream but once you realize you're in the dream this is the point i want to make because that's a whole work in itself and finding a little spinning top and recognizing that thoroughly and consistently that's a hard task in itself i'm kind of jumping past that to tell you when you get to that because you can do it consciously but a lot of times it ends up happening subconsciously in the beginning but when you find yourself in these places that you feel similar to explore them explore them explore them like i've been in my middle school i've been in my high school i've been in my college i've been to a mixture or amalgamation of two or three schools it may be tsu another bacon that i went to it'd be a magnification of it but for some reason i still have a road map of where places are at or where things are at even traveling my city i have a like because i travel so much i'll be in certain areas and it's like yeah bro i'm in downtown houston of course this should look way magical than it is or a way different than what it is in reality but i'm still able to explore like okay well i know field four is in in is in this area i know finnegan park is in this area this is just uh key scenarios in my life where i've resonated with i know this is uh this place i know humble this place and then when you start you get a little like man let me travel here let me travel here let me go visit this person and as you visit that person you discover so much more things in their dream world whether it's different side roads different rivers lakes puns or different people you may run into on the way to meeting that person and then you go through a whole scenario with that person space of things and you may live that out and then go to visit the person that you end up doing like you get sidetracked even in their dreams like it's like side missions you have a main mission that you want to do like hey i'm home in houston army or uh i've been in uh i've only been to new orleans once and i've been in my dream often um oh i'm here let me go see what's over here let me go busy here but when i'm in houston like man we gonna visit this person and we go visit that person your dream world so magical you have a little side quest and sometimes you finish that side quest and the dream is over or sometimes you finish that side question like oh [ __ ] let me go back to what i was doing let me go visit that person and sometimes you visit make it to that person sometimes you don't sometimes you just end up traveling and just keep finding different side missions but i promise you bro like you'll be like you'll be saying so downtown's a lot different it's easier being being traveling the city is way easier you find side missions because there's so many distracting things that make a city up so let's go take it down to your house you're traveling your house like man let me go in the kitchen and see what i can find in the kitchen on the way to the kitchen you run into somebody that exists in your house that normally would be in your house maybe your grandparents or whatever your mom or whatever you start talking to them and forget to go to the kitchen you talk to them you find key information now what they say to you and that key information when you go to the kitchen unlock something inside of the kitchen it's weird like that it's like now your mind yeah you've met that person with your your goals through your mind to get to the kitchen but the fact that you met them it kind of gives you a different thought while going into that still going into that thing so now that you're going into the kitchen you have a pre-loaded thought while going into the kitchen which unlocks a certain [ __ ] door it's like [ __ ] harry potter when they when they run into the brick you end up in a new world like it's everything's basically happening kind of for a reason this isn't a dream but um yeah just discover it just discover sometimes your kitchen may look different sometimes what's in the kitchen may be different that's what you made when like oh [ __ ] and that leads to a whole other dream like these this is bro it's a bunch of different key points that pop off in your mind to help you get to a place or an ultimate dream and it's the ultimate um into that dream because every dream has a different ending every dream have a different message but the things it's like a scavenger hunt almost a reverse scavenger hunt in a sense so just a scavenger hunt in general you know you looking for a overall thing but each piece help you figure out how like it's weird bro it helps you get to the message in total or the ultimate goal and a lot of times you can't get to that end goal without the other decisions the other significant pieces and tips popping up in a dream because it's like a chain reaction or it's like can we it's like chemistry like i'm about to kind of get a little complex like we're so we're so unique we're so so much things that happen to us in life our minds give us a bunch of random scenarios that help us on like that's the key to unlock the the message that we need to get to so i'm trying to think of an example so okay so say you have this end goal you walk in this path by yourself like i want to go to the park or i want to like [ __ ] bro it's all difficult all i can say is it really speaks to our chaos being and just like how in life you might become you're at the end of your life you may end up being a musician or who knows what you may end up being but ultimately the path that you want to get to that it'll be so crazy be like how did you end up being that you was a i talked about this last time you went from being a dishwasher to a part-time teacher to uh um you was an athlete how the [ __ ] did you end up being a a a a doctor or a lawyer or how did you end up becoming that's that's less random how did you end up opening this business for this like that everything that you were before had no alignment to like in a sense you would think it had no alignment to this but yet it led you to this path it's something when you ask people about their path and how they got to where they've been and the things that they went to you were like well how did they lead to that our chaos nature and it's the same thing in dreams we have it'll show us one random friend that brings up a certain information then it'll show you a certain place that brings up a certain information you combine those two things and now it gives you this that's simple we don't use we're going to use three things you you have a a friend whether that friend gives you happy energy negative energy or like or uh like jealousy energy like this friend in general you have an energy a connotation behind them overall depiction of them like certain friends when you see them you naturally grow up certain friends when you see them you see it's a natural challenge to be around them certain friends when you see them you know it's going to be a joyous occasion certain friends when you see them it's gonna be a deep conversation every friend has a different value or um thing so so say your dream it wants you to get to a certain message it's gonna bring that freedom and the energy that they give you so all right let's just say it's a jealousy like a friend that brings jealousy or a friend that brings let's say a friend that brings growth so now you have this friend that brings growth and then it sends you to school or you met this friend at school so you need to grow and you're learning like that's how the message is kind of like it's an imagery thing and how they give you messages the pictures don't always just be but the message don't always be hey do this right now on this time like no that ain't how it don't be just straight out words it's about energy and feelings so they'll they'll give you different things that give you certain feelings and and bring them together in a certain way that helps you unlock or arrive in a different space in your dreams to get a certain message or scenarios and outcomes or even put you through certain experiences because you would want to if you would have met another friend that gives you um a playful energy and then you go to school you're not going to grow you're not going to learn in school you're going to go you're going to be in that school having trying to do playful [ __ ] right let's go play basketball even though that may be the message you need to learn to have fun while learning and [ __ ] like that now that doesn't put playful in a bad scenario but it's not the same energy when you met the friend that's all about his business they say oh let's get the growth going and you you met that person at school in your dream world they give you a different dream and then it unlocks different experiences on how what you may do so a lot of times i'll be at school like a lot of times i meet my friends and we'll go to lifetime or we'll go to school and we'll go have fun there we'll cultivate we'll learn we'll grow or the competition may inspire different like the competition that we may go do it or or play may expire a conversation that happens in a dream or a an experience that happened in the dream that gives me a message it's very weird it's almost like charm readings you get a leaf you get a candle and then you get a leaf candle and what and something else and then somebody can draw those three imageries and be like what's the overall imagery and the negative things of a candle the positive things of accountable all the different messages that correlate with candles all right now that's how how do we con now let's do the same thing for the leaf and now how do those things match up together this is very similar so same with our dreams a lot of times how we you know cultivating understanding our dreams a little better is the aspects of people and the aspects of places that we've been because every place you've been have an energy or um um have different energies behind it because school don't have one energy behind it yeah you're at school but it's so many energies behind school it could be growth it could be hate it could be jealousy like when you was in school you would face all those different things school is a microcosm of society so a lot of times when we look at when we're at school it's really showing you society things as well but it just whatever there's many different ways and many different scenarios that go apart about this [ __ ] same with like say if you was in the ocean like it's it's many scenarios that you may have so say you have an ins you in an instant you would an insecure friend that you really don't trust in and now you're on a boat in the ocean but imagine the different experiences that's going to go in to you in that reality and it's not about your friend it's about the message that it's trying to send you i'm with this friend i got an insecure friend and i'm in the ocean that's bree insecurity because it's so dominant oh i'm insecure right now um emotionally insecure right now if we really want to break down water ocean and then you also have that insecure friend as well i'm emotionally insecure right now i'm emotionally vulnerable right now let's just say that's what that mentions will send you because water is emotions and ocean that's a powerful [ __ ] emotions so you're dealing with powerful emotions that you're insecure about that's how dreams work and that's how dreams kind of give you messages they give you key things whether it's water because or heights like i'm scared of heights so whenever i'm dealing with fear a lot of times you're gonna see heights in it which is weird because i can fly in my dream too but a lot of times that's when i forget i can fly i'm dealing with heights but forgot about my other perspectives of self so um a lot of times when dreams want to show me something i'm having insecurities or fear about a lot of times it's going to show me um me having some type of fear of heights or something like that because that's one of the only things i really fear that and it may be um there's a few things that make me insecure in this world but not many but heist is one of those things for sure so um yeah our dreams will give you many different aspects in it the way you cultivate that is by exploring by exploring so you see these key places that you that you know that you recognize or these people that you may meet and you you do things with them you you test it out you you travel places and sometimes like i said when you can go on like bro there's times where i'm like i'm about to go to the caf because like there's no real reason to think why do i want to go to the caf at school in my dream world in reality like you're not hungry in reality like it's not really anything you need at the calf but spiritually think about all the things that happen in calf that's where everybody meet at no matter what class no matter what they're doing so you're gonna who knows who you're gonna run into when you're going to the caf and then what they may talk to you what they may inspire in that dream when you meet that person or what's on the menu that may breed a different energy is it something that you like on the menu is there something that you hate in the menu you're like man [ __ ] this school let me go somewhere else to eat now you traveling outside of school because you don't see nothing that you like there that's happened to me where i'll be at school and then it's an aspect of school that i don't like and i'm like you know what bro let's leave school now i'm traveling a little bit further outside of the school now i'm in a real like now in world now i've got comfortable enough to get out of the space that's comfortable because school we all we've been to school for years out of our life and we can we can explore many aspects of school but sometimes it's something in school that makes us despise it like i said there's many different aspects of school good bad and different so when you start to despise it you're like man what's outside of this [ __ ] because i say every time you're going to school it's not going to be a good it ain't going to be just growth happiness fun learning sometimes it's [ __ ] that you when you're getting in trouble when you're getting bullied like bro [ __ ] this [ __ ] i want to do with this and in those dreams that's an appropriate thought because now it leads you to go outside of school even like damn i'm skipping school damn i'm outside of school damn what's let me go down this street let me go down that street you go down that street you run into businesses you run into other people you run in other scenarios bro you really can travel your mind you just have to flow with your dreams and don't get too caught up in different things but flow with it like literally live your dream let let let things play out as much as possible feel the energy behind it follow those energies behind it and it's a it's a little bit of control with also just i don't sit up and say you have all the control like i said a lot of times when you decide to travel these things a side mission to pop up but you you you guide yourself in a dream you guide yourself and observe yourself and as you guide yourself outside you run into different key things whether it's people whether it's other places where there's an animal it's many it's so many different things in your dreams that can pop up as a side mission or the real mission or a scavenger to the real mission so yeah it's not that you're just going to be able to black oh let me run into this person no that person may just pop up and then you just you ride with him like all right bro where we going everybody gonna do that like bro we about to go walk to the we about to go play at the park or something like that and then y'all get into a fight like like well why does that fight happen you break that down what was the different things that led to that like it [Music] i'm telling you bro dreams can get crazy dreams can get like bro when i travel the city of houston i'd be like on the aesthetic shock trash can little thing like you know how he changed the trash can into like this little silver thing he can glide on it's literally me i'll be sitting on it like like a ninja turtle or some [ __ ] when they driving down the uh when they're going down the tunnels or when one of them go down the tunnel i don't know if they all use a trash can like going down a tunnel man that's probably a spiritual messaging itself just using that as a that's your because many people use those different things that's your magic rug that's your that's just your travel kit that's your that's your that's you that's your that's your spaceship it ain't something that's silver surfer without his snowboard i'm like bro y'all know i'ma pull my [ __ ] [ __ ] i'm like bro look what am i trying to say right now silver surfer without his board he can't travel so we i'll be having this this silver like literally it's like a white like silver type of board or not even boy it's like literally the same size as the trash can i can fit it in if i sit down and i can fit on if i stand up and i'll be on the road freeway just driving this hoe i exit i bust corners i hit loops i do so many different things and i said it is where i want to go sometimes i drive down to galveston so that's how i i bro we'd be we'd be driving i'd be i'd be dipping in my dreams bro i'll go one place and then come back down the place with the same like i'll draw somewhere but all right bro we went we went here it's time to go back home i have the whole dream like of course like during the travel like it it's like it's like with um you remember like every playing gta you're getting a taxi like you could drive all the way there now you can ride all the way there or you can skip to the destination so yeah i i have a vision of me driving for the most part and then we skip to the destination almost like fast track to the destination so it's the same thing on the way back i'm like all right let's we we on the way back we want to pack back and then fast track it to the place i need to be or i'll wake up or whatever you just like waking up when you're on the way back somewhere because it's like all right we finished that dream and now we traveling back like when i say i travel in my dreams bro it is legit legit like crazy like i'm not gonna say scary or not like that because it's just me traveling but it's crazy it's crazy and the different experiences that i may have like when i drive to galveston a lot of time i have like flooding experiences and [ __ ] like that because you got to cross over bridges and [ __ ] like that so it brings certain insecurities out of me and then like certain floods may happen and whether it's like me panicking or certain tsunamis may happen because i'm next to water and i'm like bro like it is or i may just have fun it don't always be so super crazy dreams or something like that but a lot of times water water and heights breed insecurity but heights breed insecurity more than water for me um obviously i know both of these have spiritual uh ideas where you can talk about heights as being as far as like um super growth can you a lot of people feel gross there's nothing even crazy for me to say like because there's so much change in yourself when they be like well when you get rich you change and that's a lot of times people don't want to grow so much because they don't recognize themselves anymore so that could be a legitimate insecurity in myself um versus as many different things with heights that you could um that you could mention um so i say that's probably one of them and then with water that's emotional [ __ ] stuff like that but um you know sometimes i i'd be perfectly fine driving the galaxy then we just have fun we just be chilling and there's certain times where it's like an imminent storm on the way and you know like if you're in galveston during a storm or hurricane season or anything like that that's the worst place to be so that brings a whole different scenarios and and paradigms in my mind and those used to happen way more back in the day with floods and stuff like that because i began that i was way more emotional back in the day i was dealing with the water emulsion way more in general now i have those but they're not so prevalent when i'm traveling and stuff near water because uh [ __ ] i got very comfortable in water honestly uh over the years whether i'm just on a basically a lazy river of water y'all know the lazy rivers that you can go in but i'm just just uh cruising down that with my friends or whatever we're just being a lazy river just chilling and that's emotions in a sense of water and incense and that's me having fun not really letting anything affect me um yeah man i've had some crazy dreams bro like literally me and my friend would be in a a real life river basically and we just in that hole like a lazy river just like people doing like austin and [ __ ] like that but like it's real waterfalls and [ __ ] like it's like it's real life like this ain't just no regular ass rivers like and we'd be having fun in the house we jumped down the waterfalls like like we'd be doing all type of [ __ ] we'd be flipping off the [ __ ] like cliffs into the water and [ __ ] like having fun and then there's other dreams where [ __ ] like oh [ __ ] bro the water is too fast or like it it just depends bro and then all the different messages to you like i promise what me and like me and my dreams bro we do a lot of exploring we do a lot of we get a lot of messages bro a lot of messages well i'm trying to think but what has helped me cultivate my dreams is the control that i found over time the first thing i talked about before is like i used to fear like it would be like a shark chasing me it'd be something chasing i used to get chased a lot of my dreams it still happens to me every once in a while but a lot of times turning around and [ __ ] whatever's chasing me up because like [ __ ] stop chasing me but a lot of time i said i don't have those dreams as much but i just had those dreams or something chasing me and it got to a point where you always catch up to me or like i just be so scared that like i don't know either i switch dreams or something but one day i literally woke up right before the thing attacked me and i was like wait i got control i can wake up out of this dream i don't have to i don't have to sit in this dream and that it was like okay so after i did that i once i kind of had that consciousness i was like okay well this is a real last dream when i had when i was super younger like i don't know what age like i was less than 10 a shark was chasing me i was like all right it was just like finding nemo just like finding nemo the shark was chasing me and i'm like bro i can i can like midway through the chase i can get out of the dream if i want to i was like okay cool and then for some reason let's see how far this goes since i can escape it i kept running i kept running i kept going i just kept hitting different spots eventually until i got trapped and couldn't get out or anything and i was like okay let's see how far i can go until the shark so i basically let the shark get closer and closer and closer and closer and i all right i'm gone that was controlled i was like i'm not just going to jump out of the fear i'ma see how far i can let this dream go until i get uncomfortable and once i got uncomfortable enough i i got out of it that was control and what it it it wasn't like i could stop the shark or i could just change it to another dream but that was controlled and that seed was all i needed to keep growing so a lot of times just wake yourself out of bad dreams or wake yours like exist in the dream long enough until you get uncomfortable and get as many messages as you can or as much experience out of that dream as you can whether it's because yeah i think even you running away from the thing that's you gaining control because a lot of times when like sometimes when you run away you end up floating like [ __ ] i can't run away and that was when it started getting uncomfortable because i have no common control but this thing's still after me that's why i'm like all right let's get up out of here it should get too frustrating then it gets to another point where i'm chasing i can hit corners i hit corners i can run a lot longer until i start floating because it was a point where bro no matter what i do at certain point i just start floating i can't even get back onto the ground like i can't even like [ __ ] i'm just in this damn like i can't get back on the ground like i'm floating so much i can't get back on the ground so when people ask me about flying [ __ ] my biggest thing was trying to stay on the ground like i was talking to someone recently like yeah i'm not a fly i like now i'm thinking about it i used to do this [ __ ] with not trying to i'd be trying to run i tried to stay stuck to the ground and keep moving and i just be [ __ ] like damn like there's no more gravity like what the [ __ ] i just like trying to do everything to get back to the ground when i get close i get close to the point [ __ ] [ __ ] i'll be so forcing myself to the ground like [ __ ] head be damn nearby touch the ground but i still can't get my feet on the ground like that's how crazy my dreams used to be when i was younger so but over time i gained more control of being able to run and jump on top of things and do this and do that and over time i got my legs like to where i can like literally i have legs like [ __ ] i can i can bus move i can joke i can do this i do that and that led to me being up in control how to fly because i've already [ __ ] i've already experienced limitations so i know i can do it now i started being able to do that with control because like me running and [ __ ] that was like i learned this i can go through doors like i can i can go in other places i can float too i can hide like i started being able to do things i would like i can attack this like if you get to a point i can hide i can run i can i can juke i can get away from that thing that was chasing me to a point where i can attack that thing was chasing me that's way more recent than ever like this my last 34 years that i started to confront the things that i was running from or um fight the things that i was running for or completely just denounce the things i was running for or even it got to a point i was playing with the things i was running from like [ __ ] it was a lion that was chasing me and my homeboy i started playing with it it was like keep away like those things i used to fear or the things that used to bother me i don't even it doesn't have that same effect on me but that's through me exploring or me having a little bit of control that i have until i had no control and start over again start over again start over again like i said i used to could only run for like two or three seconds before a [ __ ] floating because it could be so a [ __ ] be so basically scared or basically startled i can't even keep my feet on the ground to a point i stayed more level-headed i stayed into myself a little boy like i didn't let the things bother me as much because i knew i had some type of control so as i the more control i discovered in those dreams i'm [ __ ] boxing again the more control i had in the dreams just the more i was able to explore and through time i started to get to these key places and being able to bust moves and do anything i wanted but that all came with time and i said it initially came through me just waking up out of a dream and then me testing how long until i can wake up out of a dream and i it just kept getting an inch by engine i kept gaining control to a point where i can explore the places that i'm at now because think about this when you're running for something you're running from something in a space but you don't have enough time to chase it because you focus on this thing you're running from but once you get rid of the [ __ ] that's chasing you or once you like when you don't have those dreams with something chasing you you're like damn i have a freedom to just kind of explore but when someone's chasing you always keeps me running ain't nothing explore as much as possible look around now even if it's just looking around just look around if you can't walk if you can't run when you whenever you realize you're in a dream just do as much as you can in a sense even if it's only walking up the block like oh you see a light you see like this place that you like it looks interesting walk towards it even if you wake up before you get there you started walking towards it like like it that's what happens a lot of times like a lot of times you have a dream you try to do something you don't even make it to that thing but the fact that you started to do something a lot of times either you may get a message out of it you might not but a lot of times it's about gaining control as well like dreams have multiple multiple purpose and right now when i'm the reason i bring this up a lot of times how um how vision like over time he got a more clearer picture of the things in reality that he was existing in and that's in real life like when you go through life bro think about it bro we have a kind of fixated or what we've been told about life but when you start to experience life you start to formulate your own opinion and the more you go through life the more experiences you meet you start to get a more clear vision of what life is because a lot of people live in a fantasy world like first 20 years because you first beginning you always have an imagination of course but your fantasy and your imagination don't get anything to check until you get to your 20s and 30s and you start like man you start getting a more accurate picture of what reality really is and not just your fantasies and the imagination of what you think kind of [ __ ] is same thing in your dream world like i ain't saying they take i don't know how long it takes like i said this has been a lifelong process for me but um the leaps and bounds i've made recently as far like the last three years and four years as far as like taking like certain meditations or doing meditation and doing stuff to decalcify my penile gland i think that also helped me discover a lot more faster because if i imagine how to have those different decalcifications and meditations and sun gaze and when i was younger i might have been able to do all those same things even quicker so i won't say how long it possibly take for someone because i said the exponential growth that i've seen in a few years like compared to my first 15 years like or first 20 years is crazy so um yeah i won't say how long it takes but um what i was just talking about the cultivation of the world like yeah i say to when you get to your 30s 40s 50s you start to get an accurate depiction of what life is when you're in your 80s and 90s you're down there like you you you get not everybody of course a lot of people be ignorant all the way a lot of people don't grow they'd be a 90 year old child or a 50 year old child but the right mature person that literally goes through life and understands and figure things out by the time they get to a certain level of age they get the clarity on the world is so much clearer where things don't affect them the same way they have understanding when things happen they they see things from a wise perspective we always say most old people are wise so the same thing your dream world it gets to a point where you can be so clear and you can be so visual you're like you're i when i say i don't know how long that takes for certain people start with your school start with your home those are things that you should be able to um whenever you end up in those dream world you should be able to explore pretty easily because you should be pretty comfortable with those things now my biggest thing is how do you get to those places because a lot of times i i don't dream with intention i just i dream and i get whatever messages that come to me but if you dream with attention and be like man i want to go to my spiritual home i used to dream of attention i want to go to the spiritual library i want to go to the akashic records you end up in these places like as many um guided meditations that you can go through on youtube and things like that ultimately you define those or you just like i said you be like man let me go to my spiritual home and when i dream like you tell yourself before you go to sleep it's like a prayer i want to go to my spiritual library i want to go to my akashic record i want to find my spiritual guide i want to find my spiritual home i want to go to spiritual school all these different things exist just like in when you go to hogwarts he had a real home then he had a that that they had a school and a house and all that different [ __ ] and then and um hogwarts you got a home he had school he had different friends he was a different person and in reality or not reality in the uh real in the mundane world i don't want to call it real of fake in the mundane world he wasn't [ __ ] nobody looked up to him he wasn't exonerated he had no purpose he had no real friends he had no real family he had no real home and spiritual and when he got to the spiritual or hogwarts then it's just this example and when i say mundane and stuff like that um when he goes into hogwarts he has school he has friends he's exonerated he's looked up to he has clout he has value same thing so my point of saying it uh bringing that up was you have spiritual schools you got mundane schools you got spiritual family you got mundane family you got a spiritual home you got your regular home and your spiritual schools and homes and friends they're going to be many different shapes and versions or amalgamations of many different things that exist from your mundane world in a sense sometimes they will sometimes they won't but um yeah so stop doing it she did that on purpose bro i know that's why it frustrates me so much she know not to do it like you could it'd be times they'd walk over with their paw like be looking at you like bro you know you're not supposed to just be bad for no reason but um so yeah spiritual mundane so yeah so when you want to talk about the things that you want to access in your spiritual world before you sleep and dream with intention but i want to go here and everything that you have in a mundane world you have in a spiritual world you have a money you have a spiritual vehicle you have a um trying to think of any other thing that i could think of yeah spiritual cities you have spiritual towns or spiritual aspects of reflections like houston has a mundane houston then there's a spiritual houston there's a mundane vegas and there's a spiritual vegas it's hard to say in vegas and mundane it's kind of lucky kind of hard that's how houston mundane but it's even more magical when you get into the real or the spiritual world buildings be a little bit bigger or buildings be bigger streets be wider uh store it like it's just different it's just different the things you run into is just more magical things happen more magically in these places than when you're in it in the mundane world they still happen magically you just don't see it as magical but when you're in the spiritual world yeah things things happen at a faster rate so you definitely see the magic in it so if as far as like getting to those places to to discover and to cultivate them because like i said you remember you may have only been to your library your spiritual library once start to find the sections like oh the horror sections over here the documentary sections over here like the uh the library assistant is over here this is where she uses that so if i need help let me go ask her over here like hey what are these at the little starbucks a little area in the spiritual library that's over there if i want to go meet some people let me go over there and see what they read know if i want to find like bro that's how it is over time be like well why are you going to the spiritual library first of all don't just go like if you don't have if you want to go to the spiritual library be like what do you want to search for you want to find your past self you want to find your future stuff uh do you want to like what do you want to discover what kind of books do you want to even read in the library because you don't just go to the library just to look and then you can and you can honestly if you just want to go to library look and just find something that may stick out to you that's fine too you can't go to the library for that don't get it twisted i'm gonna say you can't do that but um if you do have a reason that you want to go to the library that's going to help you um label the different spaces in where the sections are at and when you go back to it those sections will be in a similar spot they're not going to always be 100 accurate but a lot of times when you go back to that same space you're going to be able to remember the vicinity of what these places was that's that's like that's really what it is i'm like well okay well i'm on this side of the library i remember the sports section being it ain't really sports but whatever section i was looking at last time it was over there so all right if i want to get back to over there i need to get to over there or you could just bro it's like i'm just saving saving your memory like so i went to the tarot section in my dreams once so if i'm over this side of the library i know the terror on this side now i'm mapping out i'm literally mapping out my spiritual world myself because like i remember being my spirit that that tarot that was on the right side of me now i'm on this side of the building for um occultism in let's just say auras torros in this area that's why i learned auras on this area and those things like i say stay in those areas for the most part so same with school like the cafeteria was um at the far end from all of our classes so i know my classes is over here and i know the cafeteria is over there so once you go once you go into the school i'm like all right well let's go to the cav well all you have to do is head in that vicinity and when you hit in that vicinity you'll be able to map other things out that you may see on the way there that you may not have seen the first time you went to your dreams yeah it's it's crazy bro it's crazy but it's very similar like for instance with tsu we have this thing called the tiger walk most schools have like this walkway that's one of the things that help you like the tiger walk is the the spiritual the spiritual path to help you get to place to place the broadway it's the broadway of like when you think about uh thor ragnarok they had those little portals that help you shoot to different worlds and [ __ ] like that so it's no different you have transit ways in your dream world that you can still use to help you get complex to place so a lot of time when i end up at tsu a lot of times when i end up at bacon i end up walking down those transit ways the same transit ways that was in the real world be very similar in the dream world and when you're walking down that transit path or the hallway or whatever you're going to find the different connections that exist on that transit way so tiger walk is a spiritual trans transit way no matter if you in a reality um the mundane world on the spiritual world all the spirits travel down this energy to get to place to place this is the main blood vessel of this this school most people will most people that go to the school will travel down this path it's going to be the same in your dream world find the freeways find the major roads or the major hallways at your school and they're going to help you get to place to place especially in something similar like down in my house okay well the freeway is this way let me slowly walk like not even slowly you're gonna you're gonna you're gonna expand outside of your house it's just like a kid you have your home base you're able to go in the front yard the backyard once you discover the front yard in the backyard you can go to the neighbor's house or and you can discover their front yard backyard and once you figure that out you can go to the park so they got front yard backyards of many different people houses and friends and then you got the park then after the park you can kind of explore different towns or maybe go to different parks and [ __ ] like that and then that's when you start to be like oh let me now you hitting major streets major roads it's the same thing with your dream world in the beginning you're going to discover your house maybe your school or maybe your classroom and then it's that as you slowly come back to these places you can cultivate more and more and more and more and more to you at the whole town whole cities so yeah that's been my little bit of how to cultivate the dream world i'm probably going to come back with more to a point where like like for me i travel whole like i know how to travel so i [ __ ] i'd be on the road to galveston like i've traveled so much like and i know how to get to these places in the real world so i'm definitely gonna have a spiritual energy on how to get there in the spiritual world and then these places be having their own aspects it'd be the spiritual version of galveston is fun it's fun bro we have like it's people all at the beach 24 7 um just having fun to be so packed every time you go there there's always something you can do at galveston uh but imagine galveston how we look at galveston on a monday when they said nasty trash the water dirty but the spiritual version of galveston clean beautiful waves beautiful beautiful energy and i've traveled there many times in my dream world um there's been other places i traveled that stood out to me and a lot of times on the way to these places you bro you discover so much beautiful [ __ ] inside yourself dog like places you some of the cleanest water some of the clearest waters of course i've been in some toxic [ __ ] too on my dream world some some [ __ ] up [ __ ] in my dream world that i need to be that needed to be fixed don't get it twisted but i've during some traveling bro i've seen some beautiful water beautiful water like something like it's undescribable how blue and clear it'd be and then like just how beautiful the pathways and just i've seen some beautiful places in my dreams alone and yeah they'd be reflective of things i've seen in this reality my dreams make it even more more beautiful on pure and i said there's been times where it's been like the walking dead and i've seen rivers that was dried out desolate or full of toxic waste you know those weren't fun but that was a different dream and i had to do a different discovery then i had that that dream came with different messages of course and what i was exploring in was a little bit different but when i go to galveston stuff like that depending on whatever sometimes it's just beautiful travels and i'm all the way to that place see some beautiful things there like beautiful views beautiful scenery what i mean that's about all i can really say as far as just finding key areas like i said it could be church school certain buildings that you may work at or have worked at um but the reason you're there is to kind of get certain messages like i said if it's a building that you worked at and you really hated that building if you ended up there in your dream world it's something there that you need to um it's something about let's just say the hating energy that you need to get a message from whether it's a good thing or a bad thing or whether you go to that building and meet a person there that's in your reality we're like well damn let me let me know let me know but yeah bro everything has significance in a sense so if you end up in a certain building or a space that you never liked i'm not gonna say run away from that space but explore it and you're gonna get certain messages from there whether it whatever it may be like for instance when i'm at school a lot of times i end up arguing with my teachers that's not like a fun experience a lot of times that'd be like a i feel like against the room or they try to make you feel stupid and i gotta explain myself to the class and to the teacher why the teacher may be wrong or why i don't look stupid and a lot of times in that classroom sitting it'll be uncomfortable in the beginning but i go through the class i go through the the uh whatever happens and i get a message out of it so yeah even if you end up in an uncomfortable place um explore it and see where you may get from there but that's about it man hope y'all enjoyed the squirrels it's 8 30 time be flying 2 hours and 22 minutes there's been a pilot for you boy um another episode of the common thread um i'm not sure if this is going to be weekly or whatever because honestly the content i'm trying to give is not going to be something that just pop up every every day and even the thoughts that do pop up for the part there'd be some complex thoughts sometimes so i got to kind of let uh life give me some more things to bring out in the video or i need i got to come through more synchronicities because i get a question or i get a thought and i put that thought out there like okay that's a good thing to talk about and then i get more synchronicity where there's a video that may help me expand on it more or a movie or a show that may have less in sync with the thought that i had which would then help me come in and have more correlations and help it resonate better to y'all so even then i'm that's a natural process that i can't force but i'm definitely trying to knock them out uh at least every two weeks for sure because i've usually synchronicities happen within a week or two sometimes in a day but yeah i'll say i'm trying to get these podcasts out with every two weeks but um if not man y'all just stick with me i'ma stay consistent if i got something i'm gonna develop it work on it and bring it to y'all but that's been it man thank y'all for pulling up on your boy this is

Shoreline Digitization Part 2 (Lake Victoria)
okay so this is what your shoreline should look like so now we're going to the island scope you layer create layers new shapefile set it to Africa Lambert conformal conic is going to be a polygon and click OK and it should prompt you reach here in same place already have an island all young so just type in islands up top and then click Save I hacked your place mine you shouldn't have to so there you go now we just have a blank Islands polygon it doesn't have anything in it all right first thing we're going to do is click double click on it and change the fill to transparent fill click OK and there we go so we're going to zoom into these islands down here and we're going to do this way a little different than we did the other shore lines you have a shoreline we do a box around it and then moved all the vertices in to match it this time we're just going to draw around it and you can see the differences with it so it gets a little tough to see at times because the box has been being drawn over top of the area trying to digitize so it can be done this way but it's just a little different so you're going to zoom to the island make sure your scale is set to one to 25,000 at the bottom going to click on it go to start editing and click add feature and then we're just going to start digitizing around it so all you have to do is start clicking and go around the points and this is what I was talking about where it's drag this box around it kind of gets tough to see where you're clicking so just try your best to get what you can and that's what I'm starting to have problems with when you come back in I can't see where the shoreline actually is so you're just going to keep clicking and try the best you can to get the edge of the shoreline [Music] and then right click when you're done in just off the number in there where you can just click okay it doesn't matter there you go there are all the vertices around it and it doesn't look too too bad but we're going to click the node tool and start dragging those nodes to better fit the shape for the most part it seems pretty good so there we go we're going to just save those that it and now click add feature and we're going to do this next Island same thing keep clicking and go all the way around they try to work your way back and right click and then you type a number in there or click OK see I clearly miss that little indent so you're going to click on the notes tool and we're going to bring that back in there you go in at any point you can get double click on line you'll add another note if you would like to do that so again you save my edits and just turn off the editing and I start painting over there should be two more islands right by here once this is done rendering ok we're going to get this little island dissolution pretty straightforward and there we go ad feature start clicking it and this one isn't too bad this one's pretty straight up click the right click + 3 okay and say that one I don't need to adjust that won't work just fine I'm going to zoom out and there's another Island a little bit push the bottle I'm going to move back in you make sure my feel is that one 25000 it is so I can click add features is start doing this again and so you cannot determine for yourself which one you find easier if you like drawing a box around the entire thing that you're going to digitize and then just moving the vertices in you can do that or you can try to digitize it to the best ability and then go back and change up all the nodes it's kind of up to you with smaller pressure interesting quite frankly I probably enjoyed the Box more just so I can actually see what I'm doing I don't have to go back entire areas so click the notes tool I miss that gap again just start adjusting and making it fit this thing looks good down there but again i miss that i'm going to double-click in there at another node just kind of pinch it in a little bit save my edits turn off the editor and we're going to zoom out so there's a bunch of islands that you can do i just did these four and i'm going to go start on the other big ones it's directly next to the shoreline so you can do as many as you like it's the same process over and over but at least do those in then we'll do the big one over here together also again I'm doing it the same way that I just did for the other Island so I'm digitizing it as I go you know go back and change the mistake for a big area like this it probably gets better get to do the box but again it's all preference so you get to the area we want we're going to zoom in so one to 25,000 okay we're going to click on editor make sure your own Island toggle on your editor at feature and start digitizing like we were before make sure you get all the little slow slant you see just kind of I missed some spots doing it this way I couldn't see it all the way so that's why I just kind of prefer doing the box then you don't have to go back and adjust all those single nodes you can kind of just do it on the fly so go back to click the add features and keep following along because already i'm just going to pause this video well i do the rest of it so it doesn't take forever ok so here we go i now have all my island did you guys you and we have to have a couple of them and that big one I just happen to have all of them done so they should be hollowed out like this and what we're going to do is we're now going to combine the two polygons and make them work so two distances acting a little weird right now so i went into violence i right clicked on it with the properties and we're going to change the style simple fill and we're just going to take any color it doesn't matter take take click OK and get that a second will that runs and there we go so now all my islands of code and think and we're going to go to mines called teaching shoreline here's just going to be called shoreline so when we made earlier you're going to right-click it go to properties and we're going to change the color of that one also it's easier to explain give it a second while that's run [Music] alright so change the color it doesn't matter what you choose I just chose this little orange color click OK give that a second so what we're going to do here is once it spills then it's easier to explain what we're going to take this big shoreline polygon and we're going to act like the islands or cookie cutter and we're just going to punch right through that shoreline and it's going to give us a proper thing you want so we're going to go up the vector to your processing tools and click on a difference and you're going to use your shoreline mind teaching shoreline is just going to shoreline and then the difference layer is going to be Island browse where you want to save it we're going to call it final shoreline I already have one so i just clicked it but you're going to type it in that box and then you're going to click Save and I want to replace mine you won't have to do that and click OK it's going to take about maybe a minute to run maybe a little less it all depends on the computer first time I didn't take you long for this time taken a little bit longer so this way to let it's done yeah so that shoreline polygon has that big open area of all orange in the islands are inside again so we're just going to basically push those island through and it's going to leave cut out inside of our shoreline polygon so when that is done you'll actually see it shouldn't be too much longer there we go okay so you want to click close actually click OK you shouldn't do that so just close that out and then turn off your Island and turn off your shoreline and there we go so now you have this shoreline around the original thing that you did and then all the islands so usually you would actually have all the imagery for the island or for the lake so come up all like that so you wouldn't have just kind of boxes this green would actually be your water and then you would have your outside of the shoreline and then any island that is inside of this shoreline

NEW Pat McGrath Eye Ecstasy Mini Eyeshadow Palettes
hi guys what is up welcome to my channel so for today's video we are going to be talking about my thoughts on the new Pat McGrath hi ecstacy a little mini eyeshadow palettes you definitely want to stick around for this if you are a Pat McGrath fan and if you're curious about these definitely stick around you won't regret it so let's just get into it by the way I know I look crazy I was playing with the new noir Vina collection palette so how could you not create a look like this if you're playing with this palette you know what everything already is so a couple of days ago Pat McGrath released two little mini I ecstasy palettes I was so excited for them they looked super cute I did purchase one of her little mini eyeshadow palettes in the past I basically purchased everything that that Pat McGrath comes out with so I had to purchase these so basically online what they're describing these guys eyes is a curated collection of five luck shades to unlock the secrets of Pama grass backstage kit in a sleep compact on the go palette so they're taking five of her existing shades and putting them in a little palette they are in a super cute plastic casing which is pretty cheap but I actually think it's super duper cute it has a patent Grethe logo on it and I really really like the packaging I like that it's almost like a lab sample really cute and they're only 28 dollars which is an amazing price I purchased these right away and not realizing that they all had existing shades I was hoping that she could have surprised us with some new shades to the line unfortunately she did not these are existing shades I will go over the shades in a moment but let's talk about it so there are two different palettes the first one is the subversive palette which is the more colorful palette you have some blues some Purple's red Gold's all of that in this one and then the other one that we have here is the sublime palette which is the more neutral bronzy brown one which I think most of you guys are gonna like the majority of these colors are all shimmer or they have some sort of glitter form to them the sublime palette does have one shade that can pass as matte there's just little glitter particles in it but that's going to be the one with the matte finish the formula is supposed to be kind of like a cream powder hybrid which I completely agree with you know paragraph definitely has the most gorgeous shade selections so now I have the major details of these pallets out of the way let's talk about the colors a little bit more in depth like I said all of these are previous colors so the first one the subversive palette is going to contain colors mostly from the decadence palette now this palette is no longer available so you cannot purchase this palette anymore three of the five colors in the subversive palette are from here so if you did not get a chance to pick up the decadence palette this might be of interest to you and then the other two are from the individual line the next one is the sublime palette now I like this one because there's one shade from five different palettes so for example because I already own the decadence palette I had like most of that other palette so this one contains one from a big one and then the other four are from the little mini ones so these were limited edition I'm not sure if you can still pick these up but I know for a fact those were intended to be limited edition so I'm gonna fast forward you to the swatches right now so this right here is the mini subversive palette so the first color that we have right here is lapis luxury this can be found in the decadence palette then we have blue blood which is also from the decadence palette and then we have gold standard which is also from the decadence palette so these three all come in the decadence palette the next shade that we have right here is Synthetica this one is one of the individual idols really stunning this is one of my favorite idols color that you can get and then the last one that we have is crimson fire another one from the single collection of the idols collection and so this is what the mini subversive is going to look like so this one is the ixc sublime one I imagine this one is going to be the more popular one it just has more wearable friendly colors so the first color featured in here is sinful this is also from the mothership decadence palette the next shade is illicit this one is from the mothership sublime bronze ambition palette then we have gold nectar which is from the mothership subversive Lavie and Rose palette this is one of the best Gold's in the world if the quality translates over to that little palette this is like the best color the next shade that we have is corruption corruption is from the mothership sublime bronze temptation palette now when I first used this color I not like it I still don't like it I just think it pull it's very weird on the skin because it has such a strange duochrome that's not showing up on camera but I really don't like this and then the last shade that we have is section avert this is from the subliminal platinum bronze palette and yeah so if you like more neutrals this is a really gorgeous palette to go for every single shade from this little palette is from a different palette from her line which is awesome so hopefully because of that you did get a better feel of the palettes themselves but one thing I did want to cover that's very important to me as a consumer and I know to you guys as well is the value of these products I normally don't like to go into numbers too much but trust me this one is worth your while these little guys are twenty eight dollars each looking at the details each pan there are five pans is one gram of product and with that twenty eight dollar price that makes each pan by point six dollars the idlest that she has are twenty five dollars each for one color and there's only one point one gram in these individual eyeshadows so immediately for somebody like me who took the time to invest in everything Pat McGrath owns including the idlest I spent fifty dollars for these two shades that are in this palette and this whole thing is only twenty eight dollars with the addition of three other colors I'm not gonna lie that definitely does upset me that value is terrible twenty-five dollars for basically the same amount of product for five different shades for twenty eight dollars that's ridiculous there's no consistency at all with these prices and it's just not fair to the people who have spent their hard-earned money into this brand to support Pat and she comes out and does something like this for this release there's going to be people very happy about it and there's going to be people very unhappy about it obviously for me I have spent probably thousands of dollars into this brand so the fact that I've invested in all of the colors and palettes and I paid a premium for them now that you can purchase it deeply discounted that's just not fair to me the people who are happy and that fish is going to benefit are the people who have never tried Pat McGrath labs and you get a chance to try out her products for I huge fraction of the price so for that reason I am very excited that so much more people can have the opportunity to experience Pat McGrath because you guys know it's my favorite brand as far as eyeshadows go but I mean that takes away from how special owning these items were for me what I've decided to do about this is as you can see I have not opened both of these packages that is what I'd get for not reading the description and ordering right away I just thought they looked super cute didn't do my research but obviously I have all these colors I don't need these so I've decided to give these away to somebody who has never tried Pat McGrath eyeshadows you guys know I love Pat McGrath I want somebody to get the opportunity to try some so here is what you have to do to enter now I'm just going to give one person both of these I do this for all of my giveaways you need to be of course subscribe to my channel duh and you need to be following my Instagram it is at Morgan Turner makeup and you need to comment down below your Instagram handle if you do not comment your Instagram handle you're not going to win because I contact you on Instagram if you are the winner so I will know if you're not following me too and if I choose you as a winner and you're not following me I can't message you so comment down below your Instagram handle and what it would mean to you to win these pallets I definitely want to give this away to somebody who has not had the opportunity to try these pallets out I know I have a lot of subscribers who have tried these pallets out and I'm right there with you I'm upset about this but there is a positive side to it so I am excited to give somebody the opportunity to try out this amazing brand that is all I have to say out for today's video I know it really wasn't like a review review but I did want to bring forth you guys the information and just tell you my honest and true thoughts even if you're not entering the contest I want you to put your thoughts down below about this because I do feel some type of way about this want to get a discussion going I'm very interested in hearing what you guys

CMC Markets with CEO Peter Cruddas | The Telegraph Business Club
[Music] these days online trading has given anyone with a computer a tablet or mobile phone the opportunity to invest in a myriad of financial markets FX indices commodities shares and Treasury bonds it was a different world back in 1989 when Peter Krause founded CMC Markets with one desk one phone and a small office in London Wall he wrote his first trades down on a piece of paper his ambition was to open up the world's financial markets to the masses typically in those days if you wanted to do a share trade you would go through your bank manager but it cost so much to process a ticket through the back office through the middle office through credit checking that the spreads the cost of doing trades was so wide my plan was to offer a service to people that undercut the banks the banks and brokers didn't really want retail because they liked the big-ticket stuff CMC Markets began as an FX trader but over time has evolved from the tradition of broking model into an online tech driven business offering 10,000 products on which to trade across all the key markets having gone from a time when we were offering twenty point spreads on the major indices phone only and people calling up to do transactions over the course a couple of minutes we're now at a point where people are doing 50% of their volume electronically over the mobile phone devices the other 50% largely comes through the internet and a very very small proportion less than 1% of the business we do comes through over the phone it's now possible for a taxi driver to pull over to the side of the road and trade any one of 10,000 global financial products from his mobile phone I mean that's pretty powerful stuff such has been its growth today 550 people work out of 14 offices around the world in February 2016 a stock market launch valued the company at just under 700 million pounds CMC Markets wants to give its 57,000 clients around the world the ultimate trading experience which includes adding new products to its portfolio at competitive prices each product Square shows you the current countdown price the number of existing positions running on within the last 18 months its introduced binaries and countdowns which offer investors the chance to place in limited risk trades on short-term price movements of popular financial products there is a demand by clients for us to offer products where they can cap their investment losses its reacting to the demand at the industry as it's growing and growing and growing and pioneering those products at the heart of CMC success is its next-generation trading platform launching new products places great demand on the scalability of the technology and so CMC retains its own in-house team of developers who have not only built a trading platform for desktop but also apps for iPad iPhone and Android having everything built in-house is a huge advantage it enables us a complete flexibility in regards to how we go about building the platform what new features we want to build onto it so because we've got that control we can then then answer and sort of you know solve a lot of the questions that clients might have a lot of companies take off-the-shelf offering some other companies we've always built our own there might be elements that we've white labeled rather providers into our technology but widely it's our own as a result of that we've always had a real focus on innovation and that has always been underpinning our business but for all its technical cleverness and powers of innovation CMC Markets is reputation is based as much on good old customer service investment trends the independent financial services research provider puts CMC markets in the top 3 of 12 of its key customer service can in the UK including judging it provider with the best overall satisfaction and this is due in part to the transparency CMC gives its clients who are from CMC Singapore today is trying to do one on one to ition webinar seminars we invite guest speakers we also have a demo platform so clients can practice before they put in real money so it's about supporting clients on the journey I'm very proud of the fact that nearly 50% of our clients have been with us over three years it's all about retention it's not about churn and education is the first step on that journey if you don't understand the financial markets the online trading sector is still growing and as it does CMC markets will continue to introduce new products and new instruments to a trading community eager to take advantage of the opportunities the financial markets provide [Music] you [Music] you [Music]

iJustin: iJustine, My New Cube and Singing
okay today um well first off I got to say congratulations I justtin um I can't believe I actually had to watch he was watching that episode of soing socially awesome Awareness Week um that I found out you um were that blonde girl who got lucky on the 7,000th episode and it I mean watching you appear last week or this week whatever was um quite Nifty and yet I had no idea that at the time that when that episode aired it and it took also the as an edited video on YouTube for me to remember you because who who forgets a girl that has that much bad luck and yet gets very randomly truly lucky bidding a dollar on something worth for $1,499 when somebody else went over by a dollar and you're the closest without going over I mean that is sheer luck for a last minute bid and then go on to when you're when the watch strip aapco floor two boxes of floor tile and Stu you know stuff clearly uh computer keyboard which I imagine I I would love to interview sometime find out if you're still using that computer um cuz or if you purchased it of course cuz to be fair I had no idea exactly that you were already trending online particularly on YouTube if you're my 500 page iPhone bill but um anyway need to say I would love to interview talk to you sometime I don't know how we could ever meet together what it would take I mean maybe guide would be best but I know want to schedule it as far as I can see um anyway cuz I could tell you my crisis right story however um I'm going to give you a quick review of the um Polaroid Cube yeah um HD action camera which I recently got thanks to Oreo and Albertson's now just for the time being I um earlier this week I did get an adapter with an H with a SD card and the one I happen to get well cuz I should point out that this can hold up to 32 GB but this but the disc I have in there is was is in this it came with this uh the disc I have holds 16 GB for photo and video up to 90 minutes um very very good handy instruction manual all in know English uh English Spanish Italian I can't remember the other languages right now oh I'm sorry that's the warranty this is the this is the user user guide in four different languages and of course there comes the USB port um of course magnetic base is quite Nifty cuz I mean look and um I even yeah even put the lid there of course for anybody that's trying to access the lid that covers the um you used to cover your um switch card file and pl and plug or the um Outlet I or Inlet maybe for the USB port all you need is a coin or some that could possibly get into that slot and turn the dial so to speak I I've managed to open it with this cord believe it or not so that's in case you're truly broke can't find a penny you can always hopefully use the cord anyway um I already took my yesterday or technically today I took my very first photo and video with it um I mean the instructions can't be easier than hold down for 3 seconds wait for it to turn green take one picture hold P push push down once and it'll turn red and then click and then of course to turn it off hold it down for 3 seconds um and of course to take video you have to push the push this button down this this little button here in the middle you have to push it down twice for it to record the video um of course don't forget this and one important thing is that um is whether or not you're going to have it at 720 pixels or80 pixels and um but oh yeah the significant difference in that is um in according to this manual that's in English French Italian Spanish and danish um yeah switching that from in terms of capturing video rically um 1080 gives you more detail and a high resolution image but uses more storage space on your camera and shortens the battery life um of course you know pretty much once you plug it in insert to the computer you should be able to see some kind of editing software automatically uploading and then you can like crop your photos I guess edit your video and I should point out that um the colors come in what I what I want of course um I didn't get to choose the color I knew it was going to be blue black or red do quite matter who knows maybe I'll get another one eventually um but I did not receive any mounts I will say I do see a neat variety available I um really don't know how many of them to take with me cuz it's just you know there's one you could have on a dog's call or one you could put on the bicycle but I'm have a bicycle um Wonder H I don't know so far I'm going to give it a five star reading unless something drastic happens um you you hear you'll hear from me all right um let's see what I do oh and pass ending um try little and I want you to see that you have nothing more than me and if you go away don't think I have nothing to say if you go on from here don't be clear don't you fear anymore don't you have anything other than before you

Letters to His Son on the Art of Becoming a Man of the World and a Gentleman | English | 4/15
section 36 of Chesterfields letters to his son read for librivox.org into the public domain letter 61 London December 30th old-style 1748 dear boy I direct this letter to Berlin where I suppose it will either find you or at least wait but a very little time for you I cannot help being anxious for your success at this your first appearance upon the great stage of the world for though the spectators are always candid enough to give great allowances and to show great indulgence to a new actor yet from the first impression which he makes upon them they are apt to decide in their own minds at least whether he will ever be a good one or not if he seems to understand what he says by speaking it properly if he is attentive to his part instead of staring negligently about him and if upon the whole he seems ambitious to please they willingly pass over little awkwardness --is and inaccuracies which they ascribed to a commendable modesty in a young and inexperienced actor they pronounced that he will be a good one in time and by the encouragement which they give him make him so the sooner this I hope will be your case you have sense enough to understand your part a constant attention and ambition to excel in it with a careful observation of the best actors will inevitably qualify you if not for the first at least for considerable parts your dress as insignificant a thing as dress is in itself is now become an object worthy of some attention for I confess I cannot help forming some opinion of a man's sense and character from his stress and I believe most people do as well as myself any affectation whatsoever in dress implies in my mind a flaw in the understanding most of our young fellows here display some character or other by their dress some effect the tremendous and we're great and fiercely cocked hat an enormous sword a short waistcoat and a black cravat these I should be almost tempted to swear the piece against in my own defense if I were not convinced that they are but meek asses and lion skins others go in brown frocks leather breeches great oaken cudgels in their hands their hats and their hair unpowered and imitate grooms stagecoach Minh and country bumpkins so well in their outsides that I do not make the least out of their resembling them equally in their insides a man of sense carefully avoids any particular character in his dress he is accurately clean for his own sake but all the rest is for other people's he dresses as well and in the same manner as the people of sense and fashion of the place where he is if he dresses better as he thinks that is more than they he is a fob if he dresses worse he is unpardonably negligent but of the two I would rather have a young fellow too much than too little dressed the excess on that side will wear off with a little age in reflection but if he is negligent at 20 he will be a Slaven at 40 and stink at 50 years old dress yourself fine where others are fine and plain where others are plain but take care always that your clothes are well made and fits you for otherwise they will give you a very awkward air when you are once well dressed for the day think no more of it afterward and without any stiffness for fear of discomposing that dress let all your motions be as easy and natural as if you had no clothes on at all so much for dress which I maintain to be a thing of consequence in the polite world as to manners good breeding and the graces I have so often entertained you upon those important subjects that I can add nothing to what I have formerly said your own good sense will suggest to you the substance of them and observation experience and good company the several modes of them you're great vivacity which I hear from many people will be no hindrance to your pleasing and good company on the contrary will be abuse to you if tempered by good breeding and accompanied by the graces but then I suppose your vivacity to be a vivacity of parts and not a constitutional restlessness for the most disagreeable composition that I know in the world is that of strong animal spirits with a cold genius such a fellow is troublesome ly active frivolously busy foolishly lively talks much with little meaning and laughs more with less reason whereas in my opinion a warm and lively genius with a cool Constitution is the perfection of human nature do what you will at Berlin provided you but do something all day long all that I desire of you is that you will never slattern away one minute in idleness and in doing of nothing when you are not in company learn what either books masters or mr. Hart can teach you and when you are in company learn what company can teach you the characters and manners of mankind I really ask your pardon for giving you this advice because if you are a rational creature and thinking being as I suppose and verily believe you are it must be unnecessary and to a certain degree injurious if I did not know by experience that some men passed their whole time in doing nothing I should not think it possible for any being superior to Monsieur de cartes automatons to squander away in absolute idleness one single minute of that small portion of time which is allotted to us in this world I have lately seen one mr. Cranmer a very sensible merchant who told me that he had dined with you and seen you often at Leipzig and yesterday I saw an old footman of mine whom I made a messenger who told me that he had seen you last August you will easily imagine that I was not the less glad to see them because they had seen you and I examined them both nearly in their respective departments the former as to your mind the latter as to your body mr. Cranmer gave me great satisfaction not only by what he told me of himself concerning you but by what he was commissioned to tell me for mr. Maskull as he speaks German perfectly himself I asked him how you spoke it and he assured me very well for the time that a very little more practice would make you perfectly master of it the messenger told me that you were much grown and to the best of his guests within two inches as tall as I am that you were plump and looked healthy and strong which was all that I could expect or hope from his sagacity of the person I send you my dear child and you will not doubt it very sincerely the wishes of the season may you deserve a great number of happy new years and if you deserve may you have them many new years indeed you may see but happy ones you cannot see without deserving them these virtue honour and knowledge alone merit alone can procure de TB dent honest debt to Nam Satara sumus was a pretty piece of poetical flattery where it was said I hope that in time it may be no flattery when said to you but I assure you that wherever I cannot apply the latter part of the line to you with truth I shall neither say think nor wish the former a Jew end of section 36 read by professor Heather and by for more free audio books or to volunteer please visit librivox.org section 37 of Chesterfields letters to his son read for librivox.org into the public domain 17:49 letter 62 London January 10th old-style 1749 dear boy I have received your letter of the 31st December new style your thanks for my present as you call it exceed the value of the present but the use which you assure me that you will make of it is the thanks which I desire to receive due attention to the inside of books and do contempt for the outside is the proper relation between a man of sense and his books now that you are going a little more into the world I will take this occasion to explain my intentions as to your future expenses that you may know what you have to expect from me and make your plan accordingly I shall neither deny nor grudge you any money that may be necessary for either your improvement or your pleasures I mean the pleasures of a rational being under the head of improvement I mean the best books and the best masters cost what they will I also mean all the expense of lodgings coach dress servants etc which according to the several places where you may be shall be respectfully necessary to enable you to keep the best company under the head of rational pleasures I comprehend first proper charities to real and compassionate objects of it secondly proper presents to those whom you are obliged or whom you desire to oblige thirdly a conformity of expense to that of the company which you keep as in public spectacles your share of little entertainments a few pistols at games of mere commerce and other incidental calls of good company the only two articles which I will never supply are the profusion of low riot and the idle lavishness of negligence and laziness a fool wanders away without credit or advantage to himself more than a man of sense spends with both the latter employs his money as he does his time and never spends a shilling of the one nor minute of the other but in something that is either useful or rationally pleasing to himself or others the former buys whatever he does not want and does not pay for what he does want he cannot withstand the charms of a toy shop snuff boxes watches heads of cane etc are his destruction his servants and tradesmen conspire with his own indolence to cheat him and in a very little time he is astonished in the midst of all the ridiculous superfluities to find himself in want of all the real comforts and necessaries of life without care and method the largest fortune will not and with them almost the smallest will supply all necessary expenses as far as you can possibly pay ready money for everything you buy and avoid bills pay that money to yourself and not through the hands of any servant who always either stipulates poundage or requires a present for his good work as they call it where you must have bills as for meat and drink clothes etc pay them regularly every month and with your own hand never from a mistaken economy buy a thing you do not want because it is cheap or from a silly pride because it is dear keep an account in a book of all that you receive and of all that you pay for no man who knows what he receives and what he pays ever runs out I do not mean that you should keep an account of the shillings and half-crowns which you may spend in chair higher operas etc they are unworthy of the time and of the ink that they would consume leave such minutiae to dull penny wise fellows but remember an economy as well as in every other part of life to have a proper attention to proper objects and the proper contempt for little ones a strong mind sees things in their true proportions a weak one be used them through a magnifying medium which like the microscope makes an elephant of a flea magnifies all little objects but cannot receive great ones I have known many a man pass for a miser by saving a penny and wrangling for tuppence who was undoing himself at the same time by living above his income and not attending to essential articles which were above his porty the sure characteristic of a sound and strong mind is to find in everything those certain bounds was ultra Citra by nick wheat consistory rectum these boundaries are marked out by a very fine line which only good sense and attention can discover it is much too fine for vulgar eyes in manners this line is good breeding beyond it is troublesome ceremony short of it is unbecoming negligence and inattention in morals it divides ostentatious Puritanism from criminal relaxation in religion superstition from impiety and in short every virtue from its kindred visor weakness I think you have sense enough to discover the line keep it always in your eye and learn to walk upon it rest upon mr. Hart and he will poise you till you are able to go alone by the way there are fewer people who walk well upon that line then upon the slack rope and therefore a good performer shines so much the more your friend come to petting goo who constantly inquires after you has written to camped sell more the governor of the Academy at Turin to prepare a room for you immediately after the Ascension and has recommended you to him in a manner which I hope you will give him no reason to repent or be ashamed up as comped sell more son now residing at the Hague is my particular acquaintance I shall have regular and authentic accounts of all that you do at Turin during your stay at Berlin I expect that you should inform yourself thoroughly of the present state of the civil military and ecclesiastical government of the king of precious dominions particularly of the military which is upon a better footing in that country than in any other in Europe you will attend at the reviews see the troops exercised and inquire into the numbers of troops and companies in the respective regiments of horse foot and dragoons the number and titles of the commissioned and noncommissioned officers in the several troops and companies and also take care to learn the technical military terms in the German language for though you are not to be a military man yet these military matters are so frequently the subject of conversation that you will look very awkwardly if you are ignorant of them moreover they are commonly the objects of negotiation and as such fall within your future profession you must also inform yourself of the referee in which the King of Prussia has lately made in the law by which he is both lessened the number and shortened the duration of lawsuits a great work and worthy of so great a prince as he is indisputably the ablest prince in europe every part of his government deserves your most diligent inquiry and your most serious attention it must be owned that you set out well as a young politician by beginning at berlin and then going to turin where you will see the next ablest monarch to that of pressure so that if you are capable of making political reflections those two princes will furnish you with sufficient matter for them I would have you endeavour to get acquainted with Monsieur de Milpitas who is so eminently distinguished by all kinds of learning and merit that one should be both sorry and ashamed of having been even a day in the same place with him and not to have seen him if you should have no other way of being introduced to him I will send you a letter from hence mr. kang Nonis at berlin to whom I know you are recommended is a very able man of business thoroughly informed of every part of Europe and his acquaintances if you deserve and improve it as you should do may be of great use to you remember to take the best dancing master at Berlin more to teach you to sit stand and walk gracefully than to dance finally the graces the graces remember the graces a Jew letter 63 London January 24th old style 1749 dear boy I have received your letter of the 12th new style in which I was surprised to find no mention of you're approaching journey to Berlin which according to the first plan was to be on the 20th new style and upon which supposition I have for some time directed my letters to you and mr. Hart at Berlin I should be glad that yours were more minut with regard to your motions and transactions and I desire that for the future they may contain accounts of what and who you see in here in your several places of residence for I interest myself as much in the company you keep and the pleasures you take as in the studies you pursue and therefore equally desire to be informed of them all another thing I desire which is that you will acknowledge my letters by their dates that I may know which you do and which you do not receive as you found your brain considerably affected by the cold you were very prudent not to turn it to poetry in that situation and not less judicious in declining the borrowed aid of a stove whose fumigation instead of inspiration would at best have produced what mr. Pope calls a suitor Ken of wit I will show your letter to duval by way of justification for not answering his challenge and I think he must allow the validity of it for a frozen brain is as unfit to answer a challenge in poetry as a blunt sword is for a single combat you may have you please and therefore I flatter myself that you will profit considerably by your stay at Berlin in the article of manners and useful knowledge attention to what you will see in here there together with proper inquiries and a little care and method in taking notes of what is more material will procure you much useful knowledge many young people are so light so dissipated and so in curious that they can hardly be said to see what they see or to hear what they hear that is they hear in so superficial and inattentive a manner that they might as well not see nor hear at all for instance if they see a public building as a college and hospital and Arsenal etc they content themselves with the first coupe day and neither take the time nor the trouble of informing themselves of the material parts of them which are the Constitution the rules and the order and economy on the inside you will I hope go deeper and make your way into the substance of things for example should you see a regiment reviewed at Berlin or Potsdam instead of contenting yourself with the general glitter of the collective core and saying harmony a defeat that is very fine I hope you will ask what number of troops or companies it consists of what number of officers of the etat measure and what number of subalterns how many baz office CA or noncommissioned officers as sergeants corporals unspin a's break or poles etc there pay their clothing and by whom whether by the Colonel's captain's or commissaries appointed for that purpose to whom they are accountable the method of recruiting completing etc the same in civil manners inform yourself of the jurisdiction of a court of justice of the rules and numbers and endowments of a college or an academy and not only of the dimensions of their respective edifices and let your letters to me contain these informations in proportion as you acquire them I often reflect with the most flattering hopes how proud I shall be of you if you should profit as you may of the opportunities which you have had still have and will have of arriving at perfection and on the other hand with the dread of the grief and shame you will give me if you do not may the first be the case god bless you end of section 37 read by professor Heather and by for more free audio books or

come to an age capable of reflection and I hope you will do what however few people at your age do exert it for your own sake in the search of truth and sound knowledge I will confess for I am not unwilling to discover my secrets to you that it is not many years since I have presumed to reflect for myself till 16 or 17 I had no reflection and for many years after that I made no use of what I had I adopted the notions of the books I read or the company I kept without examining whether they were just or not and I rather chose to run the risk of easy error than to take the time and trouble of investigating truth thus partly from laziness partly from dissipation and partly from the mauvais zone of rejecting fashionable notions I was as I have since found hurried away by prejudices instead of being guided by reason and quietly cherished error instead of seeking for truth but since I have taken the trouble of reasoning for myself and have had the courage to own that I do so you cannot imagine how much my notions of things are altered and in how different alight I now see them from that in which I formerly viewed them through the deceitful medium of prejudice or Authority nay I may possibly still retain many errors which from long habit have perhaps grown into real opinions for it is very difficult to distinguish habits early acquired and long entertained from the result of our reason and reflection my first prejudice for I do not mention the prejudices of boys and women such as hobgoblins ghosts dreams spilling salt etc was my classical enthusiasm which I received from the books I read and the masters who explained them to me I was convinced that there had been no common sense nor common honesty in the world for these last fifteen hundred years but that they were totally extinguished with the ancient Greek and Roman governments Homer and Virgil have no faults because they were ancient Milton and Tasso could have no merit because they were modern and I could almost have said with regard to the ancients what Cicero very absurdly and unbecomingly for a philosopher says with regard to Plato come Kuo arare malum qualm come elitists wreak dysentery whereas now without any extraordinary effort of genius I have discovered that nature was the same 3,000 years ago as it is at present that men were but men then as well as now that modes and customs very often but that human nature is always the same and I can no more suppose that men were better braver or wiser 1,500 or 3,000 years ago then I can suppose that the animals or vegetables were better then than they are now I dare assert to in defiance of the favours of the Ancients that homers hero Achilles was both a brute and a scoundrel and consequently an improper character for the hero of an epic poem he had so little regard for his country that he would not act in defense of it because he had quarreled with Agamemnon about a woman and then afterwards animated by private resentment only he went about killing people basely I will call it because he knew himself invulnerable and yet invulnerable as he was he wore the strongest armor in the world which I humbly apprehend to be a blunder for a horseshoe clapped to his vulnerable heel would have been sufficient on the other hand with submission to the favors of the moderns I assert with mr. Dryden that the devil is in truth the hero of Milton's poem his plan which he lays pursues and at last executes being the subject of the poem from all which considerations I impartially conclude that the ancients had their excellencies and their defects their virtues and their vices just like the moderns pedantry and affectation of learning decide clearly in favor of the former vanity and ignorance as peremptorily in favour of the latter religious prejudices kept pace with my classical ones and there was a time when I thought it impossible for the honestest man in the world to be saved out of the pail of the Church of England not considering that matters of a pen do not depend upon the will and that it is as natural and as allowable that another man should differ an opinion for me as that I should differ from him and that if we are both sincere we are both blameless and should consequently have mutual indulgences for each other the next prejudices that I adopted were those of the Beau Monde in which as I was determined to shine I took what are commonly called the genteel vices to be necessary I had heard them reckoned so and without further inquiry I believed it or at least should have been ashamed to have denied it for fear of exposing myself to the ridicule of those whom I considered as the models of fine gentlemen but I am now neither ashamed or afraid to assert that those genteel vices as they are falsely called are only so many blemishes on the character of even a man of the world and what is called a fine gentleman and degrade him in the opinions of those very people to whom he hopes to recommend himself by them nay this prejudice often extends so far that I have known people pretend to have vices they had not instead of carefully concealing those they had use and assert your own reason reflect examine and analyze everything in order to form a sound and mature judgment let no authority impose upon your understanding mislead your actions or dictate your conversation be early what if you are not you will when too late wish you had been consult your reason but times I do not say that it will always prove an unerring guide for human reason is not infallible but it will prove the least erring guide that you can follow books and conversation may assist it but adopt neither blindly and implicitly try both by that best rule which God has given to direct us reason of all the troubles do not decline as many people do that of thinking the heard of mankind can hardly be said to think their notions are almost all adoptive and in general I believe it is better that it should be so as such common prejudices contribute more and more to order and quiet then their own separate reasonings would do uncultivated and unimproved as they are we have many of those useful prejudices in this country which I should be very sorry to removed the good Protestant conviction that the Pope is both Antichrist and the of Babylon is a more effectual preservative in this country against potpourri than all the solid and unanswerable arguments of Chillingworth the idle story of the pretenders having been introduced in a warning pan into the Queen's bed though as destitute of all probability as of all foundation has been much more prejudicial to the cause of jacobite ISM than all that mr. Locke and others have written to show the unreasonableness and absurdity of the doctrines of indefeasible hereditary right and unlimited passive obedience and that silly sanguine notion which is firmly entertained here that one Englishman can beat three Frenchmen encourages and has sometimes enabled one Englishman in reality to beat to a Frenchman ventures his life with alacrity por la no de hoy where you to change the object which he has been taught to have in his view and tell him that it was por la bien de la patrie he would very probably run away such gross local prejudices prevail with the heard of mankind and do not impose upon cultivated informed and reflecting minds but then they are notions equally false though not so glaringly absurd which are entertained by people of superior and improved understandings merely for want of the necessary pains to investigate the proper attention to examine and the penetration requisite to determine the truth those are the prejudices which I would have you guard against by a manly exertion and attention of your reasoning faculty to mention one instance of a thousand that I could give you it is a general prejudice and has been propagated for these sixteen hundred years that Arts and Sciences cannot flourish under an absolute government and that genius must necessarily be cramped where freedom is restrained this sounds plausible but is false in fact mechanic arts as agriculture etc will indeed be discouraged where the profits and property are from the nature of the government insecure but why the despotism of a government should cramp the genius of a mathematician and astronomer a poet or an orator I confess I never could discover it may indeed deprive the poet or the orator of the liberty of treating of certain subjects in the manner they would wish but it leaves them subjects enough to observe genius upon if they have it can an author with reason complain that he is cramped and shackled if he is not at liberty to publish blasphemy buttery or sedition all which are equally prohibited in the freest governments if they are wise and well-regulated ones this is the present general complaint of the French authors but indeed chiefly of the bad ones no wonders say they that England produces so many great geniuses people there may think as they please and publish what they think very true but what hinders them from thinking as they please if indeed they think in manner destructive of all religion morality or good manners or to the disturbance of the state an absolute government will certainly more effectually prohibit them from or punish them from publishing such thoughts than a free one could do but how does that cramp the genius of an epic dramatic or lyric poet or how does it corrupt the eloquence of an orator in the pulpit or at the bar the number of good French authors such as Corneil Racine Moliere Boileau and la Fontaine who seemed to dispute it with the Augustine age flourished under the despotism of louis xiv and the celebrated authors of the Augustine age did not shine till after the fetters were riveted upon the roman people by that cruel and worthless emperor the revival of letters was not owing neither to any free government but to the encouragement and protection of Leo the tenth and Francis the first the one is absolute a Pope and the other as despotic of princes ever reigned do not mistake and imagine that while I am only exposing a prejudice I am speaking in favor of arbitrary power which from my soul I abhor and look upon as a gross and criminal violation of the natural rights of mankind a Jew end of section 38 read by professor Heather and by for more free audio books or to volunteer please visit librivox.org section 13 I of Chesterfields letters to his son read for librivox.org into the public domain letter 65 London February 28th old-style 1749 dear boy I was very much pleased with the account that you gave me of your reception at Berlin but I was still better pleased with the account which mr. Hart sent me of your manner of receiving that reception for he says that you behaved yourself to those crowned heads with all the respect and modesty due to them but at the same time without being any more embarrassed than if you had been conversing with your equals this easy respect is the perfection of good breeding which nothing but superior good sense or a long usage of the world can produce and as in your case it could not be the latter it is a pleasing indication to me of the former you will now in the course of a few months have been rubbed at three of the considerable courts of Europe Berlin Dresden and Vienna so that I hope you will arrive at Turin tolerably smooth and fit for the last polish there you may get the best there being no court I know of that forms more well-bred and agreeable people remember now that good breeding genteel carriage address and even dress to a certain degree our become serious objects and deserve a part of your attention the day if well employed is long enough for them all one half of it bestowed upon your studies and your exercises will finish your mind in your body the remaining part of it spent in good company will form your manners and complete your character what would I not give to have you read demosthenes critically in the morning and understand him better than anybody and at noon behave yourself better than any person at court and in the evenings trifle more agreeably than anybody in mixed companies all this you may compass if you please you have the means you have the opportunities employ them for God's sake while you may and make yourself that all accomplished man that I would wish to have you it entirely depends upon these two years they are the decisive ones I send you here enclosed a letter of recommendation to mr. Capello at Venice which you will deliver him immediately upon your accompanying it with compliments from me to him and Madam both of whom you have seen here he will I am sure be both very civil and very useful to you as he will also be afterward at Rome where he is appointed to go ambassador by the way wherever you are I would advise you to frequent as much as you can the Venetian ministers who are always better informed of the courts they reside at than any other minister the strict and regular accounts which they are obliged to give to their own government making them very diligent and inquisitive you will stay at Venice as long as the carnival lasts for though I am impatient to have you at Turin yet I would wish you to see thoroughly all that is to be seen it so singular a place as Venice and at sochaux ash a time as the carnival you will take also particular care to view all those meetings of the government which strangers are allowed to see as the Assembly of the Senate etc and also to inform yourself of that peculiar and intricate form of government there are books which give an account of it among which the best is on below de Jose which I would advise you to read previously it will not only give you a general notion of that Constitution but also furnish you with materials for proper questions and oral informations upon the place which are always the best there are likewise many very valuable remains in sculpture and paintings of the best masters which deserve your attention I suppose you will be at Vienna as soon as this letter will get there and I suppose to that I must not direct above one more tea there after which my next shall be directed to you at Venice the only place where a letter will be likely to find you till you are at Turin but you may and I desire that you will write to me from the several places in your way from whence the post goes I will send you some other letters for Venice to Vienna or to your banker at Venice to whom you will upon your arrival there send for them for I will take care to have you so recommended from place to place that you shall not run through them as most of your countrymen do without the advantage of seeing and knowing what best deserves to be seen and known I mean the men and god bless you and make you answer my wishes I will say my hopes I do letter 66 dear boy I direct this letter to your banker at Venice the surest place for you to meet with it though I suppose that it will be there some time before you for as your intermediate stay anywhere else will be short and as the post from hence in this season of easterly winds is uncertain I direct no more letters to Vienna or I hope both you and mr. Hart will have received the two letters which I sent you respectively with a letter of recommendation to Monsieur Capello at Venice which was enclosed in mind to you I will suppose to that the inland post on your side of the water has not done you justice for I received but one single letter from you and one from mr. Hart during your whole stay at Berlin from whence I hoped for and expected very particular accounts I persuade myself that the time you stay at Venice will be properly employed in seeing all that is to be seen in that extraordinary place and in conversing with people who can inform you not of the rare ease shows of the town but of the constitution of the government for which purpose I send you the enclosed letters of recommendation from Sir James grey the King's resident in Venice who is now in England these with mine - Monsieur Capello will carry you if you will go into all the best company at Venice but the important point and the important place is Turin for there I propose your staying a considerable time to pursue your studies learn your exercises and form your manners I own I am NOT without my anxiety for the consequence of your stay there which must be either very good or very bad to you it will be entirely a new scene where ever you have hitherto been you have conversed chiefly with people wiser and discreet err than yourself and have been equally out of the way a bad advice or good advice but in the Academy at Turin you will probably meet with both considering the variety of young fellows about your own age among whom it is to be expected that some will be dissipated in idle others vicious and profligate I will believe till the contrary appears that you have sagacity enough to distinguish the good from the bad characters both sense and Bert you enough to shun the latter and connect yourself with the former but however for greater security and for your sake alone I must equate you that I have sent positive orders to mr. Hart to carry you off instantly to a place which I have named him upon the very first symptom which he saw discovering you of drinking gaming idleness or disobedience to his orders so that whether mr. Hart informs me or not are the particulars I shall be able to judge of your conduct in general by the time of your stay in turin if it is short I shall know why and I promise you that you shall soon find that I do but if mr. Hart lets you continue there as long as I propose that you should I shall then be convinced that you make the proper use of your time which is the only thing I have to ask of you one year is the most that I propose you should stay at Turin and that year if you employ it well perfects you one year more of your late application with mr. Hart will complete your classical studies you will be likewise master of your exercises in that time and will have formed yourself so well at that court as to be fit to appear advantageous ly at any other these will be the happiest ex of your years stay at Turin if you behave and apply yourself there as you have done at Leipzig but if either ill advice or ill example affect and seduce you you are ruined forever I look upon that year as your decisive year of probation go through it well and you will be all accomplished and fixed in my tenderest affection forever but should the contagion of Vice of idleness lay hold of you there your character your fortune my hopes and consequently my favour are all blasted and you are undone the more I love you now from the good opinion I have a view the greater will be my indignation if I should have reason to change it hitherto you have had every possible proof of my affection because you have deserved it but when you cease to deserve it you may expect every possible mark of my resentment to leave nothing doubtful upon this important point I will tell you fairly beforehand by what rule I shall judge of your conduct by mr. Hart's accounts he will not I am sure nay I will say more he cannot be in the wrong with regard to you he can have no other view but you're good and you will I am sure allow that he must be a better judge of it than you can possibly be at your age while he is satisfied I shall be so - but whenever he is dissatisfied with you I shall be much more so if he complains you must be guilty I shall not have the least regard for anything that you may allege in your own defense I will now tell you what I expect and insist upon from you at Turin first that you pursue your classical and other studies every morning with mr. Hart as long and in whatever manner mr. Hart shall be pleased to require secondly that you learn uninterruptedly your exercises of riding dancing and fencing thirdly that you make yourself master of the Italian language and lastly that you pass your evenings in the best company I also require a strict conformity to the hours and rules of the academy if you will but finish your year in this manner at Turin I have nothing further to ask of you and I will give you everything that you can ask of me you shall after that be entirely your own master I shall think you safe shall lay aside all authority over you and friendship shall be our mutual and only time way this I beg of you deliberately in your own mind and consider whether the application and the degree of restraint which I require but for one year more will not be amply repaid by all the advantages and the perfect Liberty which you will receive at the end of it your own good sense will I am sure not allow you to hesitate one moment in your choice god bless you at you PS Sir James Gray's letters not being yet sent to me as I thought they would I shall enclose them in my nest which I believe will get to Venice as soon as you end of section 39 read by professor Heather and by for more free audiobooks or to volunteer please visit librivox.org section 40 of Chesterfield sutter's to his son read for librivox.org into the public domain letter 67 London April 12th old-style 1749 dear boy I received by the last mail a letter from mr. Hart dated Prague April the first new style for which I desire you will return him my thanks and assure him that I extremely approve of what he has done and proposes eventually to do in your way to Turin who would have thought you were old enough to have been so well acquainted with the heroes of the bellum Trece now as to be looking out for their great grandsons in Bohemia with that affection which I am informed you seek for the wall Steen's the Kinski's etc as I cannot ascribe it to your age I must to your consummate knowledge of history that makes every country and every century as it were your own seriously I am told that you are both very strong and very correct in history of which I'm extremely glad this is useful knowledge Comte de perón and Comte Lascar SR arrived here the former gave me a letter from Sir Charles Williams the latter brought me your orders they are very pretty men and have both knowledge and manners which though they always ought seldom go together I examined them particularly complex chorus concerning you their report is a very favorable one especially on the side of knowledge the quickness of conception which they allow you I can easily credit but the attention which they add to it pleases me the more as I own I expected it less go on in the pursuit and the increase of knowledge nay I am sure you will before you now know too much to stop and if mr. Hart would let you be idle I am convinced you would not but now that you have left Leipzig and are entered into the great world remember there is another object that must keep pace with and accompany knowledge I mean manners politeness and the graces in which Sir Charles Williams though very much your friend owns that you are very deficient the manners of leipzig must be shook off and in that respect you must put on the new man no scrambling at your meals as at a German ordinary no awkward overturn of classes plates and salt-cellars no horseplay on the contrary a gentleness of manners a graceful carriage and an insinuating address must take their place I repeat and shall never cease repeating to you the graces the graces I desire that as soon as you ever get to Turin you will apply yourself diligently to the Italian language that before you leave that place you may know it well enough to be able to speak tolerably when you get to Rome where you will soon make yourself perfect master of Italian from the daily necessity you will be under up speaking it in the meantime I insist upon your not neglecting much less forgetting the German you already know which you may not only continue but improve by speaking it constantly to your sex and boy and as often as you can to the several Germans you will meet in your travels you remember no doubt that you must never write to me from Turin but in the German language and character I send you the enclosed letter of recommendation to mr.

Hart and tell him I have received his letter from Vienna of the sixteenth new style but that I shall not trouble him with an answer to it till I have received the other letter which he promises me upon the subject of one of my last I longed to hear from him after your settlement at Turin the months that you are to pass there will be very decisive ones for you the exercises of the Academy and the manners of courts must be attended to and acquired and at the same time your other studies continued I am sure you will not pass nor desire one single idle hour there for I do not foresee that you can in any part of your life put out six months to greater interest than those next six at Turin we will talk hereafter about your stay at Rome and in other parts of Italy this only I will now recommend to you which is to extract the spirit of every place you go to in those places which are only distinguished by a classical Fame and valuable remains of antiquity have your classics in your hand and in your head compare the ancient geography and descriptions with the modern and never fail to take notes Rome will furnish you with business enough of that sort but then it furnishes you with many other objects as well deserving your attention such as deep ecclesiastical craft and policy a Jew end of section 40 read by Professor Heather and by for more free audio books or to volunteer please visit librivox.org section 41 of Chesterfields letters to his son read for librivox.org into the public domain letter 69 London April 27th old-style 1749 dear boy I have received your letter from Vienna of the 19th new style which gives me great uneasiness upon mr. Hart's account you and I have reason to interest ourselves very particularly in everything that relates to him I am glad however that no bone is broken or dislocated which being the case I hope he will have been able to pursue his journey to Venice in that supposition I direct this letter to you at Turin where it will either find or at least not wait very long for you as I calculate that you will be there by the end of next month new style I hope you reflect how much you have to do there and that you are determined to employ every moment of your time accordingly you have your classical and several studies to continue with mr. Hart you have your exercises to learn the turn and manners of a court to acquire reserving always some time for the decent amusements and pleasures of a gentleman you see I am never against pleasures I love them myself when I was of your age and it is as a reasonable that you should love them now but I insist upon it that pleasures are very combined a bowl with business and studies and have a much better relish from the mixture the man who cannot join business and pleasure is either a formal cups come in the one or a sensual beast in the other your evenings therefore a lot for company assemblies balls and such sort of amusements as I look upon those to be the best schools for the manners of a gentleman which nothing can give but use observation and experience you have besides Italian to learn to which I desire you will diligently apply for though French is I believe the language of the court at Turin yet Italian will be very necessary for you at Rome and in other parts of Italy and if you are well grounded in it while you are at Turin as you easily may for it is a very easy language your subsequent stay at Rome will make you perfect in it I would also have you acquire a general notion of fortification I mean so far as not to be ignorant of the terms which you will often hear mentioning company such as Ramallah Bastian grassi's Contras carp etc in order to do this I do not propose that you should make a study of fortification as if you were to be an engineer but a very easy way of knowing as much as you need know of them will be to visit often the fortifications of Turan in company with some old officer or engineer who will show and explain to you the several works themselves by which means you will get a clearer notion of them than if you were to see them only upon paper for seven years together go to the originals whenever you can and trust two copies and descriptions as little as possible at your idle hours while you are at Turin pray read the history of the House of Savoy which has produced a great many very great men the late King Victor Ahmad II was undoubtedly one and the present King is in my opinion another in general I believe that little princes are more likely to be great men than those whose more extensive dominions and superior strength flattered them with the security which commonly produces negligence and indolence a little prince in the neighborhood of great ones must be alert and lookout sharp if he would secure his own dominions much more still if he would enlarge them he must watch for conjectures or endeavor to make them know princes have ever possessed this art better than those of the House of Savoy who have enlarged their dominions prodigiously within a century by profiting of conjectures I sent you enclosed a letter from countless chorus who is a warm friend of yours I desire that you will answer it very soon and cordially and remember to make your compliments in it to come to do peril a young man should never be wanting in those attentions they cost little and bring in a great deal by getting you people's good word and affection they gain the heart to which I have always advised you to apply yourself particularly it guides ten thousand for one that reason influences I cannot end this letter or I believe any other without repeating my recommendation of the graces they are to be met with that Turan for God's sake sacrificed to them and they will be propitious people mistake grossly to imagine that the least awkwardness either in matter or manner mind or body is an indifferent thing and not worthy of attention it may possibly be a weakness in me but in short we are also made I confess to you fairly that when you shall come home and that I first see you if I find you ungraceful in your address and awkward in your person and dress it will be impossible for me to love you half so well as I should otherwise do let your intrinsic merit and knowledge be ever so great if that would be your case with me as it really would judge how much worse it might be with others who have not the same affection and partiality for you and to whose hearts you must make your own way remember to write to me constantly while you are in Italy in the German language and character till you can write to me in Italian which will not be till you have been some time at Rome I do my good boy may you turn out what mr. Hart and I wish you I must add that if you do not it will be both your own fault and your own misfortune end of section 41 read by professor Heather and by for more free audio books or to volunteer

find you settled into your serious studies and your necessary exercises at Turin after the hurry and the dissipation of the carnival at Venice I mean that your stay at turin should and i fighter myself that it will be an useful and ornamental period of your education but at the same time i must tell you that all my affection for you has never yet given me so much anxiety as that which I now feel while you are in danger I shall be in fear and you are in danger at Turin mr. heart will buy his care arm you as well as he can against it but your own good sense and resolution can alone make you invulnerable I am informed there are now many English at the academy at Turin and I fear those are just so many dangers for you to encounter who they are I do not know but I well know the general ill conduct the indecent behavior and the illiberal views of my young countrymen abroad especially wherever they are in numbers together ill example is of itself dangerous enough but those who give it seldom stop there they add their infamous exportations and invitations and if they fail they have recourse to ridicule which is harder for one of your age and inexperience to withstand than either of the former be on your guard therefore against these batteries which will all be played upon you you are not sent abroad to converse with your own countrymen among them in general you will get no knowledge no languages and I'm sure no manners I desire that you will form no connections nor what they impudently call friendships with these people which are in truth only combinations and conspiracies against good morals and good manners there is commonly in young people a facility that makes them unwilling to refuse anything that is asked of them a mauvais zone that makes them ashamed to refuse and at the same time an ambition of pleasing and shining in the company they keep these several causes produce the best affecting good camp but the very worst in bad if people had no vices but their own few would have so many as they have for my own part I would sooner wear other people's clothes than their vices and they would sit upon me just as well I hope you will have none but if you ever have I beg at least they maybe all your own vices of adoption are of all others the most disgraceful and unpardonable there are degrees in vices as well as in virtues and I must do my countrymen the justice to say that they generally take their vices in the lower degree their gallantry is the infamous mean debauchery of stews justly attended and rewarded by the loss of their health as well as their character their pleasures of the table end in beastly drunkenness low riot broken windows and very often as they will deserve broken bones they gain for the sake of the Vice not of the amusement and therefore carry it to excess undo or are undone by their companions by such conduct and in such company abroad they come home the unimproved illiberal and ungentlemanlike creatures that one daily sees them that is in the park and in the streets for one never meets them in good company where they have neither manners to present themselves nor merit to be received but with the manners of footmen and grooms they assume their dress too for you must have observed them in the streets here in dirty blue frocks with oaken sticks in their ends and their hair greasy and unpowered tucked up under their hats of an enormous size thus furnished and adorned by their travels they become the disturbers of playhouses they break the windows and commonly the landlords of the taverns where they drink and are at once the support the terror and the victims of the body houses they frequent these poor people think they shine and so they do indeed but it is as putrefaction shines in the dark I am NOT now preaching to you like an old fellow upon their religious or moral texts I am persuaded that you do not want the best instructions of that kind but I'm advising you as a friend as a man of the world as one who would not have you old while you are young but would have you to take all the pleasures that reason point sound and the decency warrants I will therefore suppose for argument's sake for upon no other account can it be supposed that all the vices above-mentioned were perfectly innocent in themselves they would still degrade vilify and sink those who practice them would obstruct their rising in the world by debasing their characters and give them low turn of mind and manners absolutely inconsistent with their making any figure in upper life and great business what I have now said together with your own good sense is I hope sufficient to arm you against the seduction the invitations or the profligate exhortation for I cannot call them temptations of those unfortunate young people on the other hand when they would engage you in these schemes content yourself with a decent but steady refusal avoid controversy upon such plain points you are too young to convert them and I trust too wise to be converted by them shun them not only in reality but even in appearance if you would be well received in good company for people will always be shy of receiving a man who comes from a place where the plague rages let him look ever so healthy there are some exceptions both in French and English and some characters both in these two and in other countries which have I daresay misled many young men to their ruin Wynonna de Bosch you Julie debo che an agreeable man a man of pleasure do not think that this means debauchery in profligacy nothing like it it means at most the accidental and unfrequented irregularities of youth and vivacity in opposition to dullness formality and want of spirit a commerce gallant insensibly formed with a woman of fashion a glass of wine or two too much unwarily taken in the warmth and joy of a good company or some innocent frolic by which nobody is injured are the utmost balance of that life of pleasure which a man of sense and decency who has a regard for his character will allow himself or be allowed by others those who transgress them in the hopes of shining missed their aim and become infamous or at least contemptible the length or shortness of your stay at Turin will sufficiently inform me even though mr. ha should not of your conduct there for as I have told you before mr. Hart has the strictest orders to carry you away immediately from dense upon the first and least symptom of infection that he discovers about you and I know him to be to conscientiously scrupulous and to much your friend and mine not to execute them exactly moreover I will inform you that I shall have constant accounts of your behavior from comped selmour the governor of the Academy whose son is now here and my particular friend I have also other good channels of intelligence of which I do not appraise you but supposing that all turns out well at Turin yet as I propose your being at Rome for the Jubilee at Christmas I desire that you will apply yourself diligently to your exercises of dancing fencing and riding in the Academy as well as for the sake of your health and growth as to fashion and supple you you must not neglect your dress neither but take care to be bien me pray send for the best operator for the tea that Turin where I suppose there is some famous one and let him put yours in perfect order and then take care to keep them so afterward yourself you had very good teeth and I hope they are still so but even those who have had bad ones should keep them clean for a dirty mouth is in my mind ill manners in short neglect nothing that can possibly please a thousand nameless little things which nobody can describe but which everybody feels conspire to form that whole of pleasing as the separate pieces of a mosaic work though separately of little beauty or value when properly joined form those beautiful figures which please everybody a look a gesture and attitude a tone of voice all bare their parts in the great work of pleasing the art of pleasing is more particularly necessary in your intended profession than perhaps in any other it is in truth the first half of your business for if you do not please the court you are sent to you will be of very little use to the court that you are sent from please the eyes and the ears they will introduce you to the heart and nine times and ten the heart governs the understanding make your court particularly and show distinguished attentions to such men and women as our best at court highest in the fashion and in the opinion of the public speak advantageous ly of them behind their backs in companies whom you have reason to believe will tell them again express your admiration of the many great men that the House of Savoy has produced observe that nature instead of being exhausted by those efforts seems to have redoubled em in the person of the present king and the Duke of Savoy wonder at this rate where it will end and conclude that it must end in the government of all Europe say this likewise where it will probably be repeated but say it unaffectedly and the last especially with the kind of assume all these little arts are very allowable and must be made use of in the course of the world they are pleasing to one party useful to the other and injurious to nobody what I have said with regard to my countrymen in general does not extend to them all without exception there are some who have both merit and manners your friend mr. Stephens is among the latter and I approve of your connection with him you may happen to meet with some others whose friendship may be of great use to you hereafter either from their superior talents or their rank and fortune cultivate them but then I desire that mr. Hart may be the judge of those persons eyed you My dear child consider seriously the importance of the next two years to your character your figure and your fortune end of section 42 read by Professor Heather and by for more free audio books or to volunteer please visit librivox.org section 43 of Chesterfields letters to his son read for librivox.org into the public domain letter 71 London May 22nd old-style 1749 dear boy I recommend it to you in my last an innocent piece of art that of flattering people behind their backs in presence of those who to make their own Court much more than for your sake will not fail to repeat and even amplify the praise to the party concerned this is of all flattery the most pleasing and consequently the most effectual there are other and many other inoffensive arts of this kind which are necessary in the course of the world in which he who practices the earliest will please the most and rise the soonest the spirits and vivacity of youth are apt to neglect them as useless or reject them as troublesome but subsequent knowledge and experience of the world reminds us of their importance commonly when it is too late the principle of these things is the mastery of one's temper and that coolness of mind and serenity of countenance which hinders us from discovering by words actions or even looks those passions or sentiments by which we are inwardly moved or agitated and the discovery of which gives cooler and abeler people such infinite advantages over us not only in great business but in all the most common occurrences of life a man who does not possess himself enough to hear disagreeable things without visible marks of anger and change of countenance or agreeable ones without sudden bursts of joy and expansion of countenance is at the mercy of every artful knave or pert cockscomb the former will provoke or please you by design to catch unguarded words or looks by which he will easily decipher the secrets of your heart of which you should keep the key yourself and trust it with no man living the latter will buy his absurdity and without intending it produce the same discoveries of which other people will avail themselves you will say possibly that this coolness must be constitutional and consequently does not depend upon the will and I will allow that Constitution has some power over us but I will maintain to that people very often to excuse themselves very unjustly accused their constitutions care and reflection if properly used will get the better and a man may is surely get a habit of letting his reason prevail over his Constitution as of letting as most people do the latter prevail over the former if you find yourself subject to sudden starts of passion or madness before I see no difference between them but in their duration resolve within yourself at least never to speak one word while you feel that emotion within you determine two to keep your countenances unmoved and unembarrassed as possible which steadiness you may get a habit of by constant attention I should desire nothing better in any negotiation than to have to do with one of those men of warm quick passions which I would take care to set in motion by artful provocations I would exhort rash unguarded expressions and by hinting at the several things that I could suspect infallibly discover the true one by the alteration occasioned in the countenance of the person bolt o skill token pensiero stretchy is a most useful maximum business it is so necessary at some games such as Berlin cans etc that a man who had not the command of his temper and countenance would infallibly be outdone by those who had even though they played fair whereas in business you always play with sharpers to whom at least you should give no fair advantages it may be objected that I am now recommending dissimulation to you I both own and justify it it has been long said keen esse to dissimilar a nesset Regnery I go still further and say that without some dissimulation no business can be carried on at all it is simulation that is false mean and criminal that is the cunning which Lord Bacon calls crooked or left-handed wisdom and which has never made use of but by those who have not true wisdom and the same great man says that dissimilation is only to hide our own cards whereas simulation is put on in order to look into other people's Lord Bolingbroke in his idea of a patriot King which he has lately published and which I will send you by the first opportunity says very justly that simulation is a stiletto not only an unjust but an unlawful weapon and the use of it very rarely to be excused never justified whereas dis simulation is a shield as secrecy is armored and it is no more possible to preserve secrecy in business without some degree of dissimulation than it is to Succeed in Business without secrecy he goes on and says that those two arts of dissimulation and secrecy are like the alloy mingled with pure or a little is necessary and will not debase the coin below its proper standard but if more than a little be employed that is simulation and cunning the coin loses its currency and the coin er has credit make yourself absolute master therefore of your temper and your countenance so far at least has that no visible change to appear in either whatever you may feel inwardly this may be difficult but it is by no means impossible and as a man of sense never attempts impossibilities on one hand on the other he is never discouraged by difficulties on the contrary he redoubles his industry and his diligence he persevered and infallibly prevails at last in any point which prudence bids you pursue and which a manifest utility attends let difficulties only animate your industry not deter you from the pursuit if one way has failed try another be active persevere and you will conquer some people are to be reasoned some flattered some intimidated and some teased into a thing but in general all are to be brought into it at last if skillfully applied to properly managed and indefatigably attacked in their several weak places the time should likewise be judiciously chosen every man has his Melea tempora but that is far from being all day long and you would choose your time very ill if you apply to a man about one business when his head was full of another or when his heart was full of grief anger or any other disagreeable sentiment in order to take judge of the insides of others study your own for men in general are very much alike and though one has one prevailing passion and another has another yet their operations are much the same and whatever engages or disgusts pleases or offends you in we'll mutatis mutandis engaged discussed please or offend others in you observe with the utmost attention all the operations of your own mind the nature of your passions and the various motives that determine your will and you may in a great degree know all mankind for instance do you find yourself hurt and mortified when another makes you feel his superiority and your own inferiority and knowledge parts rank or fortune you will certainly take great care not to make a person whose good will good word interest esteem or friendship you would gain feel that superiority in you in case you have it if disagreeable insinuations sly sneers or repeated contradictions tease and irritate you would you use them where you wish to engage in please surely not and I hope you wish to engage in please almost universally the temptation of saying a smart and witty thing or bon mots and the malicious applause with which it is commonly received has made people who can say them and still often are people who think they can but cannot and yet try more enemies and implacable ones too than any one thing that I know of when such things then shall happen to be said at your expense as sometimes they certainly will reflect seriously upon the sentiments of uneasiness anger and resentment which they excited you and consider whether it can be prudent by the same means to excite the same sentiments and others against you it is a decided folly to lose a friend for a jest but in my mind it is not much less degree of folly to make an enemy of an indifferent and neutral person for the sake of a bon mot when things of this kind happened to be said of you the most prudent way is to seem not to suppose that they are meant at you but to dissemble and conceal whatever degree of anger you may feel inwardly but should they be so plain that you cannot be supposed ignorant of their meaning to join in the lap of the company against yourself acknowledge the hit to be a fair one and the jest a good one and play off the whole thing in seeming good humor but by no means reply in the same way which only shows that you are hurt and publishes the victory which you might have concealed should the thing said indeed injure your honour or moral care director there is but one proper reply which I hope you will never have occasion to make as the female part of the world has some influence and often too much over the mail your conduct with regard to women I mean women of fashion for I cannot suppose you capable of conversing with any others deserve some share in your reflections they are a numerous and loquacious body their hatred would be more prejudicial than their friendship can be advantageous to you a general complaisance and attention to that sex is therefore established by custom and certainly necessary but where you would particularly please anyone whose situation interest or connections can be abuse to you you must show particular preference the least attentions please the greatest charm them the innocent but pleasing flattery of their persons however gross is greedily swallowed and kindly digested but a seeming regard for their understandings a seeming desire of and difference for their advice together with a seeming confidence in their moral virtues turns their heads entirely in your favor nothing shocks them so much is the least appearance of that contempt which they are apt to suspect men of entertaining of their capacities and you may be very sure of gaining their friendship if you seem to think it worth gaining here dissimulation is very often necessary and even simulation sometimes allowable which as it pleases them may be useful to you and is injurious to nobody this torn sheet which I did not observe when I began upon it as it alters the figure shortens to the length of my letter it may very well afford it my anxiety for you carries me insensibly to these lengths I'm apt to flatter myself that my experience at the latter end of my life may be of use to you at the beginning of yours and I do not grudge the greatest trouble if it can procure you the least advantage I even repeat frequently the same things the better to imprint them on your young and I suppose yet giddy mind and I shall think that part of my time the best employed

find you well I directed eventually to Lille back from whence I suppose you have taken care to have your letter sent after you I received no account from mr. Hart by last post and the mail do this day has not yet come in so that my informations come down to no lower than the second June new style the date of mr. Hart's last letter as I am now easy about your health I am only curious about your motions which I hope have either been to Innsbruck or Verona for I disapprove extremely of your proposed long and troublesome journey to Switzerland wherever you may be I recommend you to get as much Italian as you can before you go either to Rome or Naples a little will be of great use to you upon the road and the knowledge of the grammatical part which you can easily acquire in two or three months will not only facilitate your progress but accelerates your perfection in that language when you go to those places where it is generally spoken as Naples Rome Florence etc should the state of your health not yet admit of your usual application to books you may in a great degree and I hope you will repair that loss by useful and instructive conversations with mr. Hart you may for example desire him to give you in conversation the outlines at least of mr. Locke's logic a general notion of ethics and a verbal epitome of rhetoric of all which mr. Hart will give you clearer ideas in half an hour by word of mouth then the books of most of the dull fellows who have written upon those subjects would do in a week I've waited so long for the post which I hoped would come that the post which is just going out obliges me to cut this letter short god bless you my dear child and restore you soon to perfect health my compliments to mr. Hart to whose care your life is the least thing that you owe letter 73 London June 22nd old-style 1749 dear boy the outside of your letter of the seventh new style directed by your own hand gave me more pleasure than the inside of any other letter ever did I received it yesterday at the same time with one for mr. Hart of the sixth they arrived at a very proper time for they found a consultation of physicians in my room upon account of a fever which I had for four or five days but which has now entirely left me as mr. Hart says that your lungs now and then give you a little pain and that your swellings come and go variably but as he mentions nothing of your coughing spitting or sweating the doctors take it for granted that you are entirely free from those three bad symptoms and from thence conclude that the pain which you sometimes feel upon your lungs is only symptomatic all of your rheumatic disorder from the pressure of the muscles which hinders the free play of the lungs but however as the lungs are a point of the utmost importance and delicacy they insist upon your drinking in all events asses milk twice a day and goats way as often as you please they often are the better in your common diet they recommend an attention to pectorals such as sago barley turnips etc these rules are equally good in rheumatic as in consumptive cases you will therefore I hope strictly observe them for I take it for granted that you are above the silly likings or disliking --zz in which silly people indulge their tastes at the expense of their health I approve of your going to Venice as much as I disapproved of your going to Switzerland I suppose that you are by this time arrived and in that supposition direct this letter there but if you should find the heat to great or the water offensive at this time of year I would have you go immediately to Verona and stay there till the great heats are over before you return to Venice the time which you will probably pass at Venice will allow you to make yourself master of that intricate and singular form of government of which few of our fellow travelers know anything read ask and see everything that is relative to it there are likewise many valuable remains of the remotest antiquity and many fine pieces of the antico maderno all which deserve a different sort of attention from that which your countrymen commonly give them they go to see them as they go to see the lions and kings on horseback at the tower here only to say that they have seen them you will I am sure view them in another light and you will consider them as you would a poem to which indeed they are akin you will observe whether the sculptor has animated his stone or the painter his canvas into just the expression of those sentiments and passions which should characterize and mark their several figures you will examine likewise whether in their groups there be a unity of action or proper relation a truth of dress and manners sculpture and painting are very justly called liberal arts a lively and strong imagination together with a just observation being absolutely necessary to excel in either which in my opinion is by no means the case of music though called a liberal art and now in Italy placed even above the other two a proof of the decline of that country the Venetian school produced many great painters such as Paul Veronese Titian Palma etc of whom you will see as well in private houses as in churches very fine pieces the Last Supper of Paul Veronese in the Church of st. George is reckoned his capital performance and deserves your attention as does also the famous picture of the Cornaro family by Titian a taste for sculpture and painting is in my mind as becoming as a taste for fiddling and piping is son becoming a man of fashion the former is connected with history and poetry the latter with nothing that I know of but bad company learn Italian as fast as ever you can that you may be able to understand it tolerably and speak it a little before you go to Roman Naples there are many good historians in that language and excellent translations of the ancient Greek and Latin authors which are called the kalana but the only two Italian poets that deserve your acquaintance are our osteo and Tasso and they undoubtedly have great merit make my compliments to mr. Hart and tell him that I have consulted about his and that if it was only a sprain he ought to keep a tight bandage about that part for a considerable time and do nothing else to it a Jew Jew Beata bene Valeri letter 74 London July 6th old-style 1749 dear boy as I am now no longer in pain about your health which I trust is perfectly restored and as by the various accounts I have had of you I need not be in pain about your learning our correspondence may for the future turn upon less important points comparatively those still very important ones I mean the knowledge of the world decorum manners address and all those commonly called little accomplishments which are absolutely necessary to group greater accomplishments their full value and luster had I the admirable ring of judges which rendered the wearer invisible and had I at the same time those magic powers which were very common formerly but are now very scarce of transporting myself by a wish to any given place my first expedition will be to Venice there to reckon order you unseen myself I would first take you in the morning at breakfast with mr. Hart and attend to your natural and unguarded conversation with him from whence I think I could pretty well judge of your natural turn of mind how I should rejoice if I overheard you asking him pertinent questions upon useful subjects or making judicious reflections upon the studies of that morning or the occurrences of the former day then I would follow you into the different companies of the day and carefully observe in what manner you presented yourself to and behaved yourself with men of sense and dignity whether your address was respectful and yet easy your heir modest and yet unembarrassed and I would at the same time penetrate into their thoughts in order to know whether your first aboard made that advantageous impression upon their fancies which a certain address air and manners never fail doing I would afterward follow you to the mixed companies of the evening such as assemblies suppers etc and their watch if you trifled gracefully in Gentilly if you're a good breeding and politeness made way for your parts and knowledge with what pleasure should I hear people cry out say gabato Javier Comi Polito dissing vault o spirit dosa if all these things turned out to my mind I would immediately assume my own shape become visible and embrace you but if the contrary happened I would preserve my invisibility make the best of my way home again and sink my disappointment upon you in the world as unfortunately these supernatural powers of Genie fairies sylphs and gnomes have had the fate of the Oracles they succeeded and have ceased for some time I must content myself till we meet naturally and in the common way with mr. Hart's written accounts of you and the verbal ones which I now and then receive from people who have seen you however I believe it would do you no harm if you would always imagine that I were present and saw and heard everything you did and said there is a certain concurrence of various little circumstances which compose with the French call la me habla and which now that you are entering into the world you ought to make it your particular study to acquire without them your learning will be pedantry your conversation often improper always unpleasant and your figure however good in itself awkward and unengaging a diamond while ruff has indeed its intrinsic value but till polished is of no use and would neither be sought for nor worn it's great luster it is true proceeds from its solidity and strong cohesion of parts but without the last polish it would remain forever a dirty rough mineral in the cabinets of some few curious collectors you have I hope that solidity and cohesion of parts take now as much pains to get the luster good company if you make the right use of it will cut you into shape and give you the true brilliant polish apropos of diamonds I have sent you by Sir James gray the King's minister who will be at Venice about the middle of September my own Diamond buckles which are fitter for your young feet than for my old ones they will properly adorn you they would only expose me if Sir James finds anybody whom he can trust and who will be at Venice before him he will send them by that person but if he should not and that you should be gone from Venice before he gets there he will in that case give them to your banker Monsieur cornet to forward to you wherever you may then be you are now of an age at which the adorning of your person is not only not ridiculous but proper and becoming negligence would imply either and indifference about pleasing or else an insolent security of pleasing without using those means to which others are obliged to have recourse a thorough cleanliness in your person is as necessary for your own health as it is not to be offensive to other people washing yourself and rubbing your body and limbs frequently with a flesh brush will conduce as much to health as to cleanliness a particular attention to the cleanliness of your mouth teeth hands and nails is but common decency in order not to offend people's eyes and noses I send you here enclosed a letter of recommendation to the Duke of never know the French ambassador at Rome who is in my opinion one of the prettiest men I ever knew in my life I do not know a better model for you to form yourself upon pray observe and frequent him as much as you can he will show you what manners and graces are I shall by successive posts send you more letters both for Roman Naples where it will be your own fault entirely if you do not keep the very best company as you will meet swarms of Germans wherever you go I desire that you will constantly converse with them in their own language which will improve you in that language and be at the same time an agreeable piece of civility to them your stay in Italy will I do not doubt make you critically master of Italian I know it may if you please for it is a very regular and consequently a very easy language a Jew god bless you end of section 44 read by professor Heather and by for more free audio books or to volunteer please visit librivox.org section 45 of Chesterfields letters to his son read for librivox.org into the public domain letter 75 London July 20th old-style 1749 dear boy I wrote to mr. Hart last Monday the 17th old-style in answer to his letter of the 20th June new style which I had received but the day before after an interval of eight posts during which I did not know whether you or he existed and indeed I began to think that you did not buy that letter you ought at this time to be at Venice where I hope you are arrived in perfect health after the baths of toeffler in case you have made use of them I hope they are not hot baths if your lungs are still tender your friend the Comte de n-side hland is arrived here he has been at my door and I had been at his but we have not yet met he will dine with me some day this week Comte fluffs chorus inquires after you very frequently and with great affection pray answered the letter which I have forward you a great while ago from him you may enclose your answer to me and I will take care to give it to him these attentions ought never to be omitted they cost little and please a great deal but the neglect of them offends more than you can yet imagine great merit or great failings will make you respect it or despised but trifles little attentions mere nothings either done or neglected will make you either liked or disliked in the general run of the world examine yourself why you like such and such people and dislike such and such others and you will find that those different sentiments proceed from very slight causes moral virtues are the foundation of society in general and a friendship in particular but attentions manners and graces both adorn and strengthen them my heart is so set upon your pleasing and consequently succeeding in the world that possibly have already and probably shall again repeat the same things over and over to you however to err if I do err on the shore aside I shall continue to communicate to you those observations upon the world which long experience has enabled to make and which I have generally found to hold true your youth and talents armed with my experience may go a great way and that armor is very much at your service if you please to wear it I promise that it is not my imagination but my memory that gives you these rules I am NOT writing pretty but useful reflections a man have since soon discovers because he carefully observes where and how long he is welcome and takes care to leave the company at least as soon as he's wished out of it fools never perceived where they are either ill-timed or ill placed I am this moment agreeably stopped in the course of my reflections by the arrival of mr. Hart's letter of the 13th July new-style to Mr greven cop with one enclosed for your mama I find by it that many of his and your letters to me must have miscarried for he says that I have had regular accounts of you whereas all those accounts have been only his letter of the sixth and yours of the seventh June new-style his of the 20th June new style to me and now his of the 13th July new style to mr. Gribbon calm however since you are so well as mr. Hart says you are all as well I am extremely glad you have no complaint upon your lungs but I desire that you will think you have for three or four months to come keep in a course of acids or goat's milk for one is as good as the other and possibly the latter is the best and let your common food be as pectoral as you can conveniently make it pray tell mr. Hart that according to his desire I have wrote a letter of thanks to mr. fermion I hope you write to him too from time to time the letters of recommendation of a man of his merit and learning will to be sure be of great use to you among the learning world of Italy that is provided you take care to keep up to the character he gives you in them otherwise they will only add to your disgrace consider that you have lost a good deal of time by your illness fetch it up now that you are well at present you should be a good economist of your moments of which company and sides will claim a considerable share so that those which remain for study must not only attentively but greedily employed but indeed I do not suspect you of one single moment's idleness in the whole day idleness is only the refuge of weak minds and the holiday of fools I do not call good company and liberal pleasures idleness far from it I recommend to you a good share of both I send you here enclosed a letter for Cardinal Alexander Albany which you will give him as soon as you get to Rome and before you deliver any others the purple expects that preference go next to the Duke de never know to whom you are recommended by several people at Paris as well as by myself then you may carry your other letters occasionally remember to pry narrowly into every part of the government of Venice inform yourself of the history of that Republic especially of its most remarkable eras such as the League de hombre in 1509 by which it had liked to have been destroyed and the conspiracy formed by the Marquis de bed Mar the Spanish ambassador to subject it to the crown of Spain the famous disputes between that Republican the Pope are worth your knowledge and the writings of the celebrated and learned frog Paulo de sarpy upon that occasion worth your reading it was once the greatest commercial power in Europe and in the 14th and 15th centuries made a considerable figure but at present its Commerce is decayed and its riches consequently decreased and far from meddling now with the affairs of the continent it owes its security to its neutrality and inefficiency and that security will last no longer than till one of the great powers in Europe engrosses the rest of Italy an event which this century possibly may but which the next probably will see your friend comped to Einstein hland and his governor have been with me this moment and delivered me your letter from Berlin of February the 28th the new style I like them both so well that I'm glad you did and still latter to hear what they say of you go on and continue to deserve the praises of those who deserve praises themselves Raju I break open this letter to acknowledge yours of the 30th new style which I have but this instant received though 13 days and deceit and date to mr. Hart's last I never in my life heard of bathing four hours a day and I am impatient here of your safe arrival at Venice after so extraordinary in operation end of section 45 read by Professor Heather and by for more free audio books or to volunteer please visit librivox.org section 46 of Chesterfields letters to his son read for librivox.org into the public domain letter 76 London July 30th old-style 1749 dear boy mr. Hart's letters and yours drop in upon me almost irregularly for I received by the last post one from mr. Hart of the 9th new style and that which mr. greven cop had received from him the post before was of the 13th at last I suppose I shall receive them all I am very glad that my letter with dr. Shaw's opinion has lessened your bathing for since I was born I never heard of bathing four hours a day which would surely be too much even in madea's kettle if you wanted as you do not yet new boiling though in that letter of mine I proposed you're going to Innsbruck it was only in opposition to La Salle which I thought much too long and painful a journey for you but you will have found by my subsequent letters that I entirely approved of Venice where I hope you have now been some time and which is a much better place for you to reside at till you go to Naples then either Toffler or la bug I love capitals extremely it is in capitals that the best company is always to be found and consequently the best manners to be learned the very best provincial places have some awkwardness that distinguish their manners from those of the metropolis apropos of capitals I send you here two letters of recommendation to Naples from Monsieur fennel Chetty the Neapolitan minister at the hague and in my next I shall send you two more from the same person to the same place I have examined Compton silence so narrowly concerning you that I have extorted from him a confession that you do not care to speak German unless to such as understand no other language at this rate you will never speak it well which I am very desirous that you should do and of which you would in time find the advantage whoever has not the command of a language and does not speak it with facility will always appear below himself when he converses in that language the want of words and phrases will cramp and lame his thoughts as you now know German enough to express yourself tolerably speaking it very often will soon make you speak it very well and then you will appear in it wherever you are what with your own saxon servant and the swarms of germans you will meet with wherever you go you may have opportunities of conversing in that language half the day and i do very seriously desire that you will or else all the pains you have already taken about it are lost you will remember likewise that till you can write in italian you are always to write to me in german mr. Hartz conjecture concerning your distemper seems to be a very reasonable one it agrees entirely with mine which is the universal rule by which every man judges of another man's opinion but whatever may have been the cause of your rheumatic disorder the effects are still to be attended to and as there must be a remaining acrimony in your blood you ought to have regard to that in your common diet as well as in your medicines both which should be of a sweetening alkaline nature and promotive of perspiration rheumatic complaints are very apt to return and those returns would be very vexatious and detrimental to you at your age and in your course of travels your time is now particularly inestimable and every hour of it at present worth more than a year will be to you 20 years hence you are now laying the foundation of your future character and fortune and one single stone wanting in that foundation is of more consequence than fifty in the superstructure which can always be mended and embellished if the foundation is solid to carry the metaphor of building I would wish you to be a corinthian edifice upon a tuscan foundation the latter having the utmost strength and solidity to support and the former all possible ornaments to decorate the Tuscan column is coarse clumsy and unpleasant nobody looks at it twice the Corinthian fluted column is beautiful and attractive but without a solid foundation can hardly be seen twice because it must soon tumble down yours affectionately letter 77 London August 7th old style 1749 dear boy by mr. Hartz let to me of the 18th July new style which I received by the last post I am at length informed of the particulars both of your past distemper and of your future emotions as to the former I am now convinced and so is dr. Shah that your lungs were only symptomatically affected and that the rheumatic tendency is what you are chiefly now to guard against but for greater security with due attention still to your lungs as if they had been and still were a little affected in either case a general cooling pectoral regimen is equally good by cooling I mean cooling in its consequences not cold to the palate for nothing is more dangerous than very cold liquors at the very time that one longs for them the most which is when one is very hot fruit when full ripe is very wholesome but then it must be within certain bounds as to quantity for I have known many of my countrymen died of blood fluxes by indulging in too great a quantity of fruit in those countries where from the goodness and rightness of it they thought it could do them no harm NIC quick nimis is a most excellent rule and everything but commonly the least observed by people of your age in anything as to your future emotions I am very well pleased with them and greatly prefer your extended stay at Verona to Venice who's almost stagnating waters must at this time of the year corrupt the air Verona has a pure and clean air and as I am informed a great deal of good company mark Hema PHA alone would be worth you're going there for you may I think very well leave Verona about the middle of September when the great heats will be quite over and then make the best of your way to Naples where I own I want to have you by way of precaution I hope it is rather over caution in case of the last remains of a pulmonic disorder the amphitheater at Verona is worth your attention as are also many buildings there and at Vincenza of the famous Andrea Palladio whose taste and style of buildings were truly antique if you employed three or four days in learning the five orders of architecture with their general proportions and you may know all that you need know of them in that time Palladio zone book of architecture is best you can make use of for that purpose skipping over the mechanical part of it such as the materials the cement etc mr. heart tells me that your acquaintance with the classics is renewed the suspension of which has been so short that I dare say it has produced no coldness I hope and believe that you are now so much master of them that two hours every day uninterruptedly for a year or two more will make you perfectly so and I think you cannot now allot them a greater share than that of your time considering the many other things that you have to learn and to do you must know how to speak in right Italian perfectly you must learn some logic some geometry and some astronomy not to mention your exercises where they are to be learned and above all you must learn the world which is not soon learned and only to be learned by frequently good and various companies consider therefore how precious every moment of time is to you now the more you apply to your business the more you will taste your pleasures the exercise of the mind in the morning whets the appetite for the pleasures of the evening as much as the exercise of the body whets the appetite for dinner business and pleasure rightly understood mutually assist each other instead of being enemies as silly or dull people often think them no man tastes pleasures truly who does not earn them by previous business and few people do business well who do nothing else remember that when I speak of pleasures I always mean the elegant pleasures of a rational being and not the brutal ones of a swine I mean labelled share short of gluttony whine infinitely short of drunkenness play without the least gaming and gallantry without debauchery there is a line in all these things which men have sense for greater security take care to keep a good deal on the right side up for sickness pain contempt and infamy lie immediately on the other side of it men of sense and merit in all other respects may have some of these failings but then those few examples instead of inviting us to imitation should only put us the more upon our guard against such weakness and whoever thinks them fashionable will not be so himself I have often known a fashionable to have someone vice but I never in my life knew a vicious man a fashionable man vice is as degrading as it is criminal god bless you my dear child end of section 46 read by professor Heather and by for more free audio books or to volunteer please visit librivox.org section 47 of Chesterfields letters to his son read for librivox.org into the public domain letter 78 London August 20th old-style 1749 dear boy let us resume our reflections upon men their characters their manners in word are reflections upon the world they may help you to form yourself and to know others a knowledge very useful at all times very rare at yours it seems as if it were nobody's business to communicate it to young men their masters teach them singly the languages or the sciences of their several departments and are indeed generally incapable of teaching them the world their parents are often so - or at least neglect doing it either from a vacations indifference or from an opinion that throwing them into the world as they call it is the best way of teaching at them this last notion is in a great degree true that is the world can doubtless never be well known by theory practice is absolutely necessary but surely it is of great use to a young man before he sets out for that country full of mazes windings and turnings to have at least a general map of it made by some experienced traveller there is a certain dignity of manners absolutely necessary to make even the most valuable character either respected or respectable meaning worthy of respect horseplay romping frequent and loud fits of laughter jokes waggery and indiscriminate familiarity will sink both merit and knowledge into degree of contempt they compose at most to merry fellow and a merry fellow was never yet a respectable man indiscriminate familiarity either offends your superiors or else dubs you their dependent and led captain it gives your inferiors just but troublesome and improper claims of equality a joker is nearer akin to a buffoon and neither of them is the least related to wit whoever is admitted or sought for in company upon any other account than that of his merit and manners is never respected there but only made use of we will have such a one for he sings prettily we will invite such a one to evolve for he dances well we will have such a one at supper where he is always joking and laughing we will ask another because he plays deep at all games or because he can drink a great deal these are all vilifying distinctions mortifying preferences and exclude all ideas of esteem and regard whoever is had as it is called in company for the sake of any one thing singly is singly that thing and will never be considered in any other light consequently never respected let his merits be what they will this dignity of manners which I recommend so much to you is not only as different from pride as true courage is from blustering or true wit from joking but is absolutely inconsistent with it for nothing vilifies and degrades more than pride the pretensions of the proud man are often are treated with sneer and contempt than with indignation as we offer ridiculously too little to a tradesman who asks ridiculously too much for his goods but we do not haggle with one who only asks a just and reasonable price abject flattery and indiscriminate a cetacean degrade as much as indiscriminate contradiction and noisy debate disgust but a modest assertion of one's own opinion and a complacent acquiescence to other people's preserved dignity vulgar low expressions awkward motions and a dress vilify as they imply either a very low turn of mind or low education and low company frivolous curiosity about trifles and a laborious attention to little objects which neither require nor deserve a moment's thought lower a man who from thence is thought and not unjustly incapable of greater matters Cardinal directs very sagashi ously marked out Cardinal chiggy for a little mind from the moment that he told him he had wrote three years with the same pen and that it was an excellent good one still a certain degree of exterior seriousness in looks and motions gives dignity without excluding wit and decent cheerfulness which are always serious themselves a constant smirk upon the face and a whipping activity of the body are strong indications of futility whoever is in a hurry shows that the thing he is about is too big for him haste and hurry are different things I've only mentioned some of those things which may and do in the opinion of the world lower and sink characters in other respects valuable enough but I have taken no notion of those that effect ins think the moral characters they are sufficiently obvious a man who has patiently been kicked may as well pretend to courage as a man blasted by vices and crimes made to dignity of any kind but an exterior decency and dignity of manners will keep such a man longer from sinking than otherwise he would be of such a consequences the even though affected and put on pray read frequently and with the utmost attention nay get by heart if you can that incomparable chapter in Cicero's offices upon the or the decorum it contains whatever is necessary for the dignity of manners in my next I will send you a general map of Courts a region yet unexplored by you but which you are one day to inhabit the ways are generally crooked and full of turnings sometimes strewed with flowers sometimes choked up with briars rotten ground and deep pits frequently lie concealed under a smooth and pleasing surface all the paths are slippery and every slip is dangerous sense and discretion must accompany you at your first setting out but notwithstanding those till experiences your guide you will every now and then step out of your way or stumble Lady Chesterfield has just now received your German letter for which she thanks you she says the language is very correct and I can plainly see that the character is well-formed not to say better than your English character continue to write German frequently that it may become quite familiar to you how'd you end of section 47 read by professor Heather and by for

SEC, CFTC & TREASURY CRYPTO MEETING BEGGING FOR REGULATION.
welcome to digital asset news or Dan for short my name is Rob and today we're going to go over um a pretty interesting piece about a meeting with a bunch of big hitters the cftc the Fed chair and the treasury as they're really what they're talking about is demanding regulation which I know this is uh not what people want to hear but it has to happen and uh they're what they're talking about here is just how dire we actually need it so we'll take a look at uh the report uh what's going to come about and what potentially uh could be leading us into the next big market and I'm going to talk to you about There's Something Brewing or something going on because we see this going on with traditional equities with stocks with crypto we're going to take a look at what I call the whale Shadows earnings and CPI and I'm going to talk about videos on staking and diversification so uh we're gonna jump in real quick to what is going on first of all welcome I appreciate everybody stopping by I do appreciate that very much question what the report is is it is from fsoc the financial stability oversight Council that's quite a mouthful and uh it was quite boring if you want to read it there's a link in description it's a nice healthy 100 almost 200 plus Pages have fun with that or you can just listen to this video as I summarize everything and before we get into it I guess the big question would be uh what the heck is fsoc so fsoc is the financial stability oversight Council council is charged with identifying risks to the financial stability of the U.S promoting Market discipline and responding to emerging risks to the stability of the United States Financial system I find it interesting that uh these big Heavy Hitters of course they're all involved just how how they they talk about the reporters how much they want regulation they have to move forward this is a a vast difference between you know 2013 14 2017 when it was like regulation for crypto like it's going to go away anyhow so don't even deal with it and now here we are with the council that's composed of uh treasury secretary Janet Yellen Federal Reserve board chairman Jerome Powell acting comptroll of the currency or the OCC uh Michael Sue Consumer Financial Protection Bureau director Robert Chopra Security and Exchange Commission Chief Gary Gensler fan of the show uh cftc chair rosston Benham Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation acting chair Martin Gruenberg and National Credit Union administrator chair Todd Harper and a handful of this and that's everybody just sitting around going what are we going to do with crypto I think I just found it amazing and uh this is what the report said it was a great summary by coindesk thank you coindes for uh making this uh palatable that is for sure but uh this is the report and of course for what is going on so that's what it says calling on Congress to define the line between a security and a non-security I think I know people talk about regulation how we don't need it and it's stupid and we don't we're we're here to govern ourselves and libertarianism I got to tell you I think for the individual yes sure it was not much regulation that's needed although I think we still do I think it really comes down to the big institutions and like we talked about yesterday institutions are here institutions are coming you can see the reports from from coinbase and Kraken and binance and and a lot of big big exchanges they put out and it'll show you just how much uh the institutions are actually already here and they are buying and they're doing a lot of things you and it's in the reports we've covered this multiple times uh but it's not as much as they should be because they don't have Clarity and this is what all these agencies want like Congress you got to do something you were put in there to actually write these bills to pass these laws and you can't do anything and we'll talk about a bill that's that's out that I think could could alleviate all this stuff so fsoc said I believe federal agencies already have much the authority they need to oversee large chunks the crypto sex or sector the one area that really asked for Congress to get involved is defining just where the limits of Securities regulation should be and again I found a fascinating that you've got Jerome Powell and you've got Gary Gensler and you got Janet Yellen and the cftc acting chair just sitting around going okay who's going to take this who's gonna who's gonna take this because you know if we let it run Gary's like I'll take everything and everything's a security but it doesn't work like that it's called democracy why it matters the line is between a crypto security and crypto commodity what is it where exactly does the sec's authority end and the cftc's authority begin and you've already seen them actually talking to each other saying okay maybe you can take this maybe you can take that and they go from there but it's going to take some time the report talking about how a lot of the companies that offer services in the crypto ecosystem advertise themselves as regulated uh not too long ago there was an there was an organization that was saying that your cash is FDIC insured well not really and it was through a third party and of course that was held in that third party and it all came about they need Clarity I think that's a good idea of why we should have that fsoc is concerned about money transmitter Frameworks that don't have a huge focus on anti-money laundering controls I suppose I will say this it's not like the banks are scot-free we've seen them credit Swiss and some other ones that have been busted already for money laundering issues but that's that's uh just outside of the realm of this this video in particular Port says there are issues with the spot market for crypto namely there is no federal spot Market regulator or framework I think that would be great if we would like to get a Bitcoin ETF and they can regularly the spot Market that would alleviate the concerns of what Gary Gensler is saying so there's too much too much manipulation sure in short Financial stability is the key concern uh they talk about how there's a problem with hacks and crashes a fairly significant section the report is focused on the fact that much of crypto is built around speculative trading but is vulnerable to frequent hacks I don't know how they're going to regulate hacks I mean we just saw that um uh multiple airports uh were just hacked yesterday from Russian hackers now whether that remains to be true if it is the Russian government or hackers who are based in Russia I have no idea but I mean we see stuff like that we see stuff with the credit agency where they lose all of our private data and is out there throughout the whole web so if they're going to talk about that that part also talk about this other part with crypto the important part is the recommendations Regulators should treat crypto risks like they treat other risks nothing special the third fifth sixth recommendation calls on Congress to get busy basically uh get your a in gear because you guys aren't doing what you're supposed to be doing Council recommends that Congress passed legislation that provides for explicit rule-making Authority for federal financial Regulators over the spot market for crypto assets that are not Securities and we'll that's the big thing tell us here's the thing this is very simple I I can't make this any more simple than what this is tell us the rules of the game so we can bend the rules to our win that's really what it comes down to I mean I hate to say it like that but that is just what it is it's just like the IRS they give you clear laws as to what is going to be taxed and what not taxed outside of crypto I got you but if you know those rules and you can understand okay this is what it is this is the guidelines this is where I can move then you can move a lot of different ways and I think that's what the institutions are waiting for they're not wanna they don't want to stick all their money into a place where there's uh massive Bridge hacks and and billions of dollars are lost they have to answer for the people who believe in them and also their shareholders they're not going to get into this this place where like hey an algorithm stablecoin sounds like a good plan and they lose everything so this is the thing I think that we need and of course I know people are going to say this in the comments and you are correct where is regulation comes over regulation I get that however just a step in the right direction we'll fight them off as we see fit moving down the road but it's easier to to win a war with a trojan horse and get on the inside and fight from the inside and just pound the door on the outside that's just my thoughts all right so to finish this up before I go off too much in a tangent the Reclamation 5 called for a stable coin legislation other recommendations include closer coordination between different Regulators whether that's state to state or with different types of regulatory entities I think that would be good actually to to get all the different states and go okay this is what we should this is what we should go over this is a security this is not a security this is a commodity and go from there I think Federal Regulators continually build on reassess their this is a good one let me read this again uh other recommendations include having Federal Regulators continually build out and reassess their crypto knowledge as they oversee and license different entities I'm going to play this video I just thought about this this is um let's be honest uh the people that are in Congress and some of the some of the people that are enforcing these rules they have no idea what they're doing uh because it's a new industry and I don't blame them it's very tough to learn uh all the things that are out here all the jargon all the all the different parts but there was this great video of Sam bakeman freed I know some people hate him but just listen SPF was he was testifying before Congress and they were getting kind of snippety with them about the different parts and he just laid it out laid down the law and said look you guys don't know what you're talking about take a listen to this but I I actually found something a little bit offensive that was said I'm gonna be pretty blunt that most of the Traders on our platform know a lot more about these contracts than many of the people in this room including many of the people in this room who are condescendingly talking to them about what they do and don't know and should and shouldn't be offered anyway I just had to get off that off my chest a little bit and I think it's to some points about consumer Choice here I'm not saying that should be a sort of like be-all an end-all but I think there is something to be said for it and I I think that that there's some irony um in in in in in you know some of the statements made by people attempting to protect those who know massively more than they do um about the topic and who understand these products extremely well most of our users do so yeah just pretty much land the law down so when it says here having Federal Regulators continually build on a reassess their crypto knowledge as they oversee and licensed different entities when are they going to do that how they going to enforce that to their own Regulators like they have to take a weekly test or something I I don't know I just find it fascinating that's what they called for but it's it's a step in the right direction I'm not making fun of them I'm just saying it's just interesting how they put it out I wonder how that's going to do also as a call for a coordinated government-wide approach to data and to the analysis monitoring supervision and regulation of crypto asset activities look I don't know if they're living under a rock but if you want to find anything that's super easy uh that's what the blockchain's for every transaction everything that's that has transpired between wallets is all out there in the public so if you're trying to to money launder or do those things crypto is the worst place to do it uh the best place to do it is just use cash trust me I I let me say that again don't trust me about that one I've never laundered cash but I'm just saying if you want to hide some things cash is a great way to do it and also dirty Banks so then to finish this up there was a report also on Monday with a New York fed which published a research paper that said it was uh supposedly safe stable coins like usdc might pose a risk to the broader financial sector if it becomes a safe haven for people fleeing less safe stable coins backed by sketchy assets and I don't understand where they're going there with this usdc the CEO Lair one and testified before Congress and go look I know you guys want everything backed by assets and dollars and things like that here's all our paperwork here's what we're backed by we are liquid we have everything backed one to one so you can alleviate your fears so I don't understand what they're coming forward with this unless they're like hey this is bad news for us but you know what's great cbdc anyhow let me think about that in the comments section and to finish this up there isn't a law or sorry excuse me a bill that is trying to make its way through Congress and it's the uh Senator Lomas and gilliban and which is bipartisanship one's a senate or one's a Democrat one's a republican I like to see that as they work together and uh this was they came on June 7th and everything we just talked about it kind of had uh addresses it here addresses the cftc and the SEC jurisdiction what's the security what's a commodity stable coin regulation like we just talked about banking tax treatments and inter-agency coordination the same thing we was talking about so I'm like they want this to happen you know the F the fsoc wants this to happen some of us want this to happen in crypto myself included and Senators want this to happen so let's just get this done and then move move about so I think this is a step in the right direction again it's amazing how things have moved in 2017 pretty much the governments and agencies are just like don't even try to regulate it because it's going to go away anyhow and now here we are so let me think about that in the comments section let's move on to and this is just going to go pretty quick after this there's something brewing there's something going on there's a let me blow this up there's a website I'm always talking about look into bitcoin.com it's 100 free you don't have to pay anything it's great great stuff all about Bitcoin and one of these is whale shadows and what the heck is that whale Shadows this shows when Bitcoins that have not been moved on chain for many years finally move again and I have to stress this they're just moving Bitcoin now that they're moving it and selling it it's just moving you can't see when it's actually sold but you can see uh you know like netflows inflows and outflows for exchanges usually if they go to exchanges usually means they're they're selling but that's not what's happening here I just found it fascinating that ah in the Orange is Bitcoin hasn't used more than 10 plus years and this purple is seven to nine years let me blow this up there's a couple of things to note here first of all in September you had like this is over a thousand this is Bitcoin a thousand ten thousand thousand almost ten thousand in September moved by holders holders who have had Bitcoin for seven to nine years happen again here September 4th what's this one oh August 29th excuse me and then ones that haven't moved in 10 plus years this is almost about 500 or so yeah a couple here a couple here and then it just stopped well because we're not we're not the January 2023 genius yes the number 22. so we've stopped for a bit but one thing I want you to notice is this you know that whole thing about Diamond hands and never move and or not never sell whatever else just for my just I want you to burn this into your head for a second and that's when there's Peaks there's a lot of movements there's a lot of movement of of uh of Bitcoin whales or Bitcoin people haven't haven't moved theirs for quite some time when there's Peaks so just remember when people say diamond hands forever they're like I don't know if that's true because it seems like when there's Peaks people are selling and then also uh well number three which now has a new wallet uh since June I just want you to notice one other thing is that whale number three just sold a thousand Bitcoin and they've been they've been sporadically um scantily accumulating actually this is an accumulation since September 22nd they just have been on hold like a holding pattern like we don't know what's going on here point zero one Bitcoin is not anything for a whale that buys four and sending a Bitcoin 1100 Bitcoin in August and June and July but I find it interesting that they haven't been accumulating they just sold six days ago a big chunk of it and remember this is the week for earnings report for traditional equities stocks and also the big one the CPI is coming out October 13th so in two days at 8 30 A.M and it just seems like you can also take a look I don't know what the Market's doing I'm assuming it's down correct me in the comments section but uh these are the things that I think some people know a little bit behind the scenes than what I do and that's what's going on so let me know what you think about that in the comments and then uh real quick I wanted to do some more videos some like how to's on staking I know there's a lot of people who just got in 2021 and they think uh you know just just buy and hold which is fine or buy and sell whatever you want to do I'm not a financial advisor um but I think there's a gap of knowledge about staking I know some of you do it some of you like it uh but we were doing a video yesterday and there's a website DCA CC and I showed just you know just a hundred dollars per week investing into cardano and we use Bitcoin ethereum records for the example and also sandbox and in four years I mean you could have done some pretty big damage here I mean positive damage if you would have sold the top you know the investment would have been eighteen thousand four hundred which is a good chunk of money but you if you would assault you would have had a value of 651 000 so I mean DCA it does work it just depends on you know what you want to do what's best for you and what products you really want to get into and someone made a good point they said yeah Rob but that's also without you even staking anything I was like hmm it's a good point I forgot about that so like for ethereum pers first of all I don't stake ethereum I'm not going to have my ethereum locked up that long I'm not a big fan of slashing so I'm not going to talk about that but the Solana cardano binance chain Avalanche polka dot polygon Cosmos I do want to talk about Tron not really I don't have Tron but I have near and you can see here the rewards for staking like ethereum is 4.71 all right Salon is five percent okay cardano's three point I think it's the the industry averages between four and six percent I know our stake pool gets above four percent so I don't know why it's 3.5 but whatever buying Shane through it that's kind of weak Avalanche eight percent polka dot 14 this is annual numbers polygon five percent anyone to do anything you just gotta stake it eighteen percent dang eighteen percent for Cosmos that's uh that's the one I really want to do and Tron and then mirror I've got staked right now for ten percent and a lot of these what's cool about that like with uh cardano like did you know that you don't give up your private keys to stay cardano that's why it's like the best experience of all time and of course we've got a couple of stake pools there is a link in the description looks just like this you can go to our webpage which pretty much lays out how that's done and how to do it I know people don't like the steak sometimes because they're like I'm worried about losing all my crypto and I'm worried about transferring because I don't really transfer too much I get it I understand so just a real quick rule of thumb when you're transferring any crypto just do a test transaction that's what I always do I don't care if it's a a wallet I've done many times I'm like hey I'm going to send you something and you know if if someone I owe somebody a thousand bucks I'm like hey I'm going to send you twenty dollars first make sure you get it and then I'll send the rest every single time I've done that and with staking it's the same thing so don't worry about losing stuff and then of course with cardale you have to do that stuff and then also um I like to stake within the Ledger because you keep it safe and you keep your private keys and all that stuff and I'll go through Solana I'll go through Cosmos I'll go through well we've already done Avalanche which is a pretty good one but poke it out when you do you can also do polka dot through ledger so if that's something that interests you perhaps let me know in the comments and I'll rip out those those videos because I always have to remind myself that hey there's people that are new and they need to know these things and even people even if you've been around for quite some time I think this is a good refresher also how to back up your your seed phrases also how to check your seed phrases in your ledger to make sure it's it's still accurate and still works I know people want that peace of mind so I can do that and that's uh what's going on and then lastly I know that the market sucks I get it but when we're talking about these things remember I'm talking about these things as far as like a diversification strategy so 15 roughly is what I try to stake because that's the crypto's not doing anything I'm just holding on to it might as well make some money off it and of course they have the IRA I've got cash and Stables I do some d-gen plays check out my second Channel D gen Dan D gen if you want to lose all your money essentially that's just a that's basically gambling and then of course uh my Amazon business and then properties and then the last one is Masterworks because I own fractionalized shares of artwork and I think it's a good one so I want to say thank you for Masterworks for sponsoring the video I appreciate it here's what I've got I got A banks in a basket everything I talked to you about I got skin in the game I don't know anything about a basket I know a Banksy but uh so far on that basket I'm up 39 almost 40 percent and again these are fractionalized I don't own a whole Banksy I don't have 10 20 million dollars but it's fractionalized shares and guess what it is registered with the SEC just so you know here's the annualized returns not that you're going to get that but I'm just saying here's what they've done in the past here's the performance so far against Russell NASDAQ and s p and it's even kicking the tar out of crypto as well uh here's over the last 25 years s p real estate and gold here's what it's done again 21 33 27 33 appreciation annualized and what was the other one oh yeah Link in the description this type of stuff so there is that and I just want to finish off with this one hang with me I had I had a gentleman on for Masterworks and uh he's their CIO Chief investment officer and he was talking about something called the sharp ratio and this is about how to invest as far as like the risk and I think it's it's something to note of how Masterworks is doing this I'm not saying this is for you I'm just saying this is just an option I've gotten into this and uh this is something that you could take a look at if you want to diversify if you want to diversify stick it on whatever you want to I'm not telling you what to do I'm just saying this is the information I have so what what we were talking about here Mr sokolitski and uh he was talking about the sharp ratio how they do that so just take a listen this is about 50 seconds just take a listen and then we'll go in the Q a hold on and the sharp ratio what it does is it basically measures an investment's return or how well or how poorly it's done relative to how much risk that investment actually had you know it's sort of like a measure of bang for the buck in a lot of ways right so it's it's easy to look at an investment's return right did it go up or down or stay flat or whatever the case may be but it's a little bit more nuanced than it and it's often a lot more informative to use something like a sharp ratio because it tells you okay we know how well or how poorly the investment did but how about how much risk did I need to actually take to get that performance right so in other words maybe you got a really attractive return but maybe you also had to take an extraordinary amount of risk to get that return right that's that's the type of information you would want to know how much risk you have to take to potentially get that return that you're getting so we've introduced the sharp ratio for a lot of the uh the different artists markets that we track uh and we basically compare it to the sharp ratio that the S P 500 has generated uh and then we compare it to the s p excuse me the sharp ratio for the overall Art Market uh as a whole I mentioned I come from the traditional world of uh Investment Management you know I can tell you that there are a lot of professional hedge funds all over the world who would love to consistently hire Traders whose strategies can generate sharp ratios of close to two and yet believe it or not there are actually quite a few artist markets that have been generating sharp ratios of close to two and that's it so look thanks for hanging with me on that one and before I I we go to the Q a just let me stress this for Masterworks and fractionalized shares of art that is a very long term hold so if you're not thinking years in the future don't even look at it because it's like a two three five type of year play and that's it so look imagine thinking about that in the comments section I'm sure a good kid for that one but that's it so look if you stuck around thanks I appreciate it this was fun times uh leave a like on your way out also consider subscribing and that is it so now if you want to stick around we're going to go over the Q a we'll answer all your burning questions the best my abilities and we will go from there if not adios thank you so much I do appreciate it let's get to it q a H that's my favorite part of the day all right all right

Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town Review (Nintendo Switch)
welcome to esha gaming today i am reviewing story of seasons pioneers of olive town now out on the nintendo switch i love farming sims i love the constant sense of progressing towards the next house upgrade i love growing a bunch of crops putting in all the work to then see great profit when selling i love collecting and crafting in games and i love customizing everything like in general i love customizing things so this is a game that's very much for me this is my series the original harvest moon series i have played almost all harvest moon games through the years and since i was little when i started with harvestmen for the super nintendo the original series's new name is now however story of seasons and this is their newest entry since three of towns on the 3ds i mean if we are not counting friends of mineral time which was a remake but i can say already now that this game is better than friends of mineral town thank you so much to marvelous for providing this review code story back in the old days your grandfather pioneered olivetown and now much later you decide to go there and take over the old farm it's the very typical and basic farming sim story you meet the mayor you meet the townspeople and you start living your new life as a farmer but you also help out with developing the town to become more attractive to tourists and expanding the town's variety in shops and facilities you get to know all the townspeople's backstories by slowly befriending them over time and eventually you can get married you can marry both genders and you can look whichever way you want with hair skin color face eyes and you can decide on how you want to be addressed regardless of how you choose to look there are plenty of fun cutscenes to unlock some are of course more entertaining than others but the town people's daily dialogues are very bland repetitive and predictable almost always involving something about an upcoming festival or one that recently was i don't know i try to talk to everyone every day so that i can slowly increase friendship level with everyone and i'm also trying to hand out flowers to everyone as a daily friendship bribe they all seem to like it so [Music] gameplay this is a farming life simulator game and in a way that means the more you put into it the more you're gonna get out of this game you start out with very little on a farm that looks like an overgrown mass with trees and rocks and weed growing everywhere and puddles but cleaning up a messy farm in a farming sim has always been something that i consider to be weirdly satisfying you can chop down trees you can break rocks you remove puddles with your bucket and you cut grass your farm has a lot of buildings that needs found or crafted materials in order to repair the first ones being your first coop to hold chicken and your first barn to hold cows and such and also there are bridges to unlock even more farmland to start making some money for yourself you chill some soil and you plant your first vegetables then you need to water and tend to every day with seeds you buy at the general store the town has a lot of shops you have the animal shop where you can buy cows chicken sheep goats rabbits etc and it also holds the pet shop with mainly cats and dogs i have three cats currently on my farm they are called mia newpie and tom and jerry you have the tool shop run by clemens which originally was the guy that i wanted but turns out he wasn't a bachelor but this is where you can upgrade all your tools such as your watering can your axe your hammer including upgrading your bag inventory space i recommend you do that as soon as possible because this game has a lot of items the town also has the general store like i mentioned you have a grocery store a flower shop and a carpenter's workshop where you can do all the home and building upgrades if you have the materials and money needed also there is a hotel and a cafe and a bistro a tourist info center where you can upload your pictures and lastly a museum the museum is fun just like in studio valley and in animal crossing you can donate treasures and artifacts you can donate fish that you have caught and pictures of wild bugs birds and animals that you have spotted across town and on your farm this new camera feature is fun and you can actually walk around and look up close at everything in first person mode and the pictures you take can also be shared online to be viewed in other players loading screens load times feels a bit long at the moment but marvelous has said that they are working to patch that in an update coming really soon i'm not gonna lie one of my first impressions with this game besides really liking it was that the world in itself is disappointingly small at the moment there is only this town that you can see on this map and you have your farm which there is no map for i mean there are no other areas to explore currently there's no mountain there's just no other area so then town and your farm there are three mines found on your farm one with iron one with silver and one with gold and the mines feel very simplistic but i didn't mine with your tools upgraded a tiny bit you can lock bigger areas of rocks trees and grass so make sure you prioritize getting upgrades for your tools as early as you can it's going to make your life so much easier now this game has a big emphasis on machines called makers this can be a good thing and this can actually also be a bad thing there are a bunch of makers in this game in fact i think there are too many of them why so many makers tell us the reason why [Music] i mean there are makers for ingots makers for lumber jewelry bricks threads cloths yarn seasonings powders condiments yogurts cheese butter essences i mean a bunch of these makers could have been combined but what i try to do is make dedicated areas for each theme of makers like for example i have an area with cloth thread yarn and such you know clothing makers put together and i also have another section of my farm dedicated to seasonings powders condiments yeah i put them in themes like the ones that are similar to one another i also recommend you focus on having a lot of ingot and lumber makers as these are the most essential makers in the entire game you're gonna have to use them every day because most things like house upgrades and barn and coop upgrades they require ingots of some sort or lumber so make sure you keep them running at all times you craft these makers in the menu along with a bunch of other things that you can craft like sprinklers and a bunch of farm decorations a lot of things to craft in the crafting menu i love customizing my farm with fences pathways and such that is so fun and i recommend you do that because there actually pops up too many cluttering things every day like new rocks and new puddles and new trees all day every day and that happens a bit too much if you ask me you can also decorate inside of your home but that is very limited you can't place anything anywhere that was also a bit weird fishing is good progression feels nice i enjoy the entire gameplay loop because i always feel like i have something to do and something to look forward to and work towards if you know what i mean there is a lot of managing inventories both in your bag and in chests that you place around your farm and if your bag is full you can put some of your tools away to fit a bit more in your bag that is actually convenient it has saved me several times there are some simple festivals happening in town occasionally and there are also small sprites minigames to be found also a small sprites location that you can travel to which i found really confusing because i have no idea what's going on over there cooking is fun and i try to create every single dish at least once later you get a horse and also a fun motorcycle that you can also color customize lastly there's also an achievement list for all of you completionists out there and you can collect titles for your card there's just a lot of things to do in this game graphics i actually went a bit back to friends of mineral town on the switch and i have to say pioneers of olivetown looks 10 times better and is optimized i mean with menus and how you manage your inventory and all of that so much better in pioneers of all of town so in my opinion this game both plays and looks better this game just sometimes looks a bit like a pokemon game in its graphical style and i like the graphics a lot i like the look of the crops i like the look of the animals the look of the town i love the look of my character and i forgot to mention that you can also change your clothes and hats collect a bunch of those everything looks super cozy and colorful and these cows are just the cutest cows i've ever seen performance as of right now pre-launch which is when i'm playing it it is a bit laggy at times with heavy frame drops when i'm running through my farm but all of this could have been patched already for all i know there is actually a ton of cool 3d models found around everyone's room when looking in first person mode through the camera and i can see that they have put a lot of work into just details in this game a lot of things that are just easily overlooked i enjoy details like that very nice [Music] music there is a tiny bit of voice acting like sounds and noises and such short hellos and right there's there's footsteps and sound effects for most things everything is sounding very natural and fun i can say i generally liked most of the actual music in the game but i wish there were more variety in what's being played on your farm for each season because you end up spending a lot of time on your actual farm and you end up spending a lot of time listening to this music and at some seasons i just couldn't wait for the next season to come around just to get some new background music to listen to and i don't think it should be like that the seasons are of course spring summer autumn and winter as usual but the quality of the music that is good it is just cute and as expected really for a game of this genre i just wish that there were more variety on your farm for each and every season [Applause] [Music] verdict i am pretty sure that you have made up your mind already whether this game is for you or not i super recommend this game for everyone who has previously even just enjoyed a farming game or previously enjoyed a live sim like this pioneers of olive town has got everything going for it and in the right direction the only things that i can complain about in this game is that the world is super small and i wish there were more areas that i could explore and i wish a lot of the makers could have been combined just for the sake of simplicity but i love this game already i give this game eight and a half out of ten the only things that is pushing it away from a nine is like i said the world is small and the makers are messy and such stuff like that thank you so much for watching the entire review i hope you wanna check out my discord channel we actually hang there like every evening right now we're in that sort of mood every day all of us and we're just hanging voice chats so feel free to join my discord we are a very lively and welcoming community over there now thank you so much for watching and i will see you later

WRAPPED | My Trucking Life | Vlog #2615 | Sept 5th, 2022
hi i'm bruce from gloucester virginia you're watching trucker josh on youtube [Music] good morning weasel there's a weasel with us this trip i'm so excited you ready to go outside bud i'm ready to go outside we are here in kenora we're going to be loading up a load of uh lumber and uh taking it on down to brainerd minnesota same run we did beginning last week except i'm by myself this week it's just me father-in-law's doing other stuff my dad just took off to iowa i believe so we're all running different running on our own this week come on bud let's go over this way real quick it's gonna be a good day sun is shining not a cloud in the sky got a weasel with me got an empty step deck here we're gonna put some some wood on it some good wood and we gotta tarp it that's this isn't it we can make that good i'm gonna tarp it we're gonna try to tarp it real good like a christmas present it's gonna look good i'm gonna head on down to minnesota it'll be fun you guys want to see something cool i've got to tarp this load i'm going to show you how i do it [Music] it's pretty neat right that way i don't have to climb up there and i'd have to lift those heavy tarps that just lays it over there i'll straighten it out square it off i'll put one more on the front i'll be out of here probably the quickest i've ever been loaded and tarped at this location which is awesome took them 15 minutes to load me and this will take me half an hour maybe a bit more we'll see maybe i'm giving myself too much credit there's no one else in here right now so i'm not in a big rush but uh i don't want to drive my feet so let's get going i want to get down to minnesota tonight yet i want to get down to brainerd to my truck stop there well the truck stop is actually in pillager minnesota i think that's where i stay i might go right to the customer though i think we could sleep though i learned that last time we'll decide that later let's get ourselves tarp first this makes harping so much easier that's why i love coming here especially in the wintertime and when it's raining have a nice covered shelter let's get our bring our friends over this way why they want you to wear hard hats in here because you're working with cranes make sense you lift stuff up it must come down just in case [Music] make sure it's on the right side beautiful let's do it up and away so um [Music] then we lift them all the way up for the next driver be careful when you're uh lifting them up you don't want them to hook on to your caller or anything and pull you up there with them wouldn't be very fun there are several locations that we go to that have the exact same setup same building same setup same everything i like them all equally it's not the prettiest tarp job i'm i'm gonna be the first to admit that but it does the trick right it looks like dad wrapped the christmas presents this year they're wrapped and that's all that matters see what i did here you see what i missed that crease right there should be at the top of the load there technically this will work just fine too everything's covered but if you want it to look pretty that's what you would do to fix that oh [Music] peek-a-boo no peek-a-boos here [Music] cover-up you cover yourself up you cover yourself up does the job i'm only going 300 miles down the road with it so uh not many people are gonna see it down the road i mean now that i put it on youtube a couple thousand people have seen it but i have to show this to you so that you know that trucker josh isn't perfect let me get the job done and this is the other side this side's a little cleaner moving up there it's hard to see because the sun they're doing what they're supposed to do protecting the load okay it's time to get going a burner burner basil you like my tarp job whoa whoa calm down there calm down see if he's going crazy diesel what you don't have anything to say i mean i could interpret that better man i could have done a better job this is embarrassing you take me along and that's who that's how you present us to the world we are way better truckers than that very disappointing i said disappointed with you if i had thumbs i'd show you how it was done this is this is terrible you're a hard weasel to impress diesel hard wheeze to impress okay i'm just gonna get all my uh stuff in order here make sure my paperwork went through properly and uh start making our way to the border there's two of our trucks here that are uh also going to brainerd not sure if we'll be running together or not but uh we're going down to the same place all three of us all right everybody it's time to get going undo the belt undo the button i've got to lose weight i've really got to lose weight by my birthday okay by my birthday april 1st 2023 i want to lose weight i'm probably about 225 or 230 pounds right now i'd like to be 180. 50 pounds see what i can do let's see if we get under 200 by my birthday that would be good we're gonna go for walks we've said this a few times this year already but this time we really mean it right diesel that's why i brought you along because i do more walking when i'm with you because i take you for walks more often but when you're not here i don't take myself for walks and then look at me look what happens that's what happens when you don't come with me man i get fat okay that's why you got to come with me keep me skinny man let's get going so [Music] a beautiful day for trucking beautiful beautiful day there's always a bit of a sketchy corner because you can't see oncoming traffic until it's right there and they're moving at like 90 kilometers an hour some of them are moving at like 120. hope for the best [Music] put your four ways on and when they come whipping around the corner i hope they're paying attention right [Music] so [Music] cynics that means we're in america that's an american company we're just outside of international falls minnesota and like i was saying before having diesel with me uh gets me out of the truck more usually i wouldn't have stopped i would have just kept on going right past or maybe i would just stop for a quick coffee back in the truck and head off [Music] but since we got the weasel with us it gives me uh an excuse to take a little bit of an extended break just a little bit just a few minutes let them get out and run around here the last time i was here i made a mistake and called this town deer falls it's actually deer river it's right there on that bright colored church sign that is a bright church can't miss that one deer river i don't know why i was thinking deer falls is there a deer falls out there i feel like i've been to a deer falls before there's probably a deer falls in minnesota maybe there's not i don't know this is the cenex that we stopped at last time when my father-in-law was with him he stopped in there really nice stop in there got a pizza hut and everything i think i'm gonna go to that same truck stop apparently we're allowed to sleep right at the customer though so that is an option as well i'll decide when i get a little closer sleeping at a truck stop is always nice because you can wash your face in the morning clean yourself up and have a coffee [Music] deer river here it is how dare you you know what i'll take it as a compliment deer river likes us so much diesel they don't want us to leave they want us to stay longer so they gave us a red light the one red light and we got it it's a good sign [Music] feels good to be liked and wanted do [Music] so [Music] i don't know if you can see it or not but there's a hungry weasel right here chowing down a little bit of a late supper my bad but he's getting his food and he's loving it good boy diesel sometimes he doesn't want to eat when he's on the road but the last couple of trips he's come on come with me he's eating really well on the road i don't know i guess it depends how he's feeling he's a moody weasel we're uh here in pillager minnesota at our truck stop we'll be delivering down the road in brainerd first thing tomorrow morning and by the time i'm unloaded i'm sure already i'll already have a reload lined up so we'll have to wait and see what that's going to be tomorrow it was a holiday today it was labor day in canada i believe the u.s is also labor day so it's a continent wider it's a canada and u.s holiday on the same day that's under my eye oh isn't that annoying you better get out of there you better get out of there oh i hate when i get things in my eye which one i'm tired and i am tired but thanks for hanging out with me today uh same run as last week just by ourselves this week or i got the weasel with me so there's that there's always something different you know you can do the same run over and over each run is different in its own way but i do like to switch it up but these loads get us down to minnesota who knows what my reload will be that's the different burns that keeps me on my toes i'll see everybody tomorrow take care don't forget to eat your cheerios and your fruit loops all of them you

LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT TDV8
welcome to the old-timer center my name is Philip Tarrant and I'm going to be talking to you about this 2007 Range Rover Sport it's a TD v8 so is the first of the two deviates and it's only done ninety three thousand kilometres it's black with black leather interior it drives very well it's obviously being garage the car is in immaculate condition I've always thought when you buy a Range Rover wear it be a sport or a vogue it really needs to be a v8 because that's what they're all about but with the v8 comes fuel consumption and with some of the v8 petrels a lot of maintenance as well the good thing I discover is you've got a v8 engine with the fuel consumption of a diesel and it actually sounds like a v8 if you've ever driven one you get that beautiful v8 sound through the cabin it's got the scent on headlights Harman Kardon sound system obviously they're incredibly capable off-road at the click of a button that can go up and down by about one to two feet and you've got your terrain response program here and you've got a low-range transfer case which means it's a real full Drive obvious it's black with black interior I guess a lot of people opted to have black with black with black doors and things some people got the timber trim it's got a sunroof it's got the standard wheels now I think that's quite important to mention we will even look at the size which is 18 I apologize they are sorry they're 19 inches some of them have 19 inches 2022 although the bigger wheels look good if you put 22 inch wheels in a car like this with the very clever suspension it will soak up all the bumps but it will put a lot of unnecessary strain on the suspension including the shock absorbers there was a time a few years ago if you bought a brand new vogue or Sport and put 22 inch wheels on it you actually avoided your warranty so I guess you know the rain driver have taken it pretty seriously it's got the tow pack so you've got a tow bar in the back you just take that cover off underneath it's got parking sensors the real luggage covers there for Blackheart really is in very good condition all the headlights wheels are all excellent and along with the taillights obviously you'll find online a lot of the tdv8 v6s have done 150 to 250 300 and 400 thousand kilometers so this would probably be one of the lowest kilometer tdv8 on the market our dream it does it really does drive beautifully sounds fantastic and I think it says around town the current fuel consumptions about 15 liters per hundred kilometers but it's done that's in start and stop traffic obviously we've got lots of torque lots of power you've got the beautiful sound of the v8 you can see the headlights a crystal clear and if you've been looking for a Range Rover Sport this is a kind of should definitely have a look at it's got the right engine sensible kilometers I believe it to be a one owner whilst we've been told it's one owner I think it's always been in the same suburb and serviced at the same base in the same area since it was new but it's a very impressive car it's been very well looked after it's always been in Sydney obviously we're gonna send it to a mechanic for a check over and a service if there's anything required we'll have it done obviously so it means that once you buy this car you can just drive it and enjoy it you're not going to need to do anything immediately gas our tyres or brakes or engine mounts or suspension if you have any specific questions you can always give us a call on Oh two nine five six nine double nine double nine well ok lemak for only 15 20 minutes from Sydney Airport as well but everything works perfectly the suspensions on low at the moment I took a couple of photos with it on high low medium so you can have a look thanks again for watching we look forward to hearing from you soon

find cover days days it was awkward to see probably [ __ ] yeah if I wasn't like I was somebody could be robbing your house while you biggie but you can really get away there's nothing you can do burns like an explosion I get along again start tinsel hey bro let me just wrap this is everything just washes away that'll be the worst and it kind of like make you mad you gotta get the stream oh my girl like you know you know yeah hmm sucking you off you know she like stop filthy people I'm still look I had same situation I didn't get caught Oh mom just walked in sign was up I was in there just browsing right on the right one you were picky picky yeah we had access to the world and I felt [Music] like I'm not making that up when is I actually outside of the podcast that's are you mental moment at all so it's like you age me to not remember because I don't deliver it I remember everybody no I'm not making this a lot I don't remember manly my own you remember yours i member a few but I don't look very different from one mainly because it don't be us like you having a dream when I did next thing you wake up in your bed sticky so it's like no like legit like it's really not it's not like you you start having dreams and the next thing you know you going to the second level in your dream in the second that's how dreams are it's not meant for you to finish they never you never really just change [Music] you just don't well you just see me so I could finish all my dreams go back in Smash I've never been able to like you wake up our dream and then go back to sleep and continue it I've been I've only generally like once I like one time like you oh my this sucks [Music] yeah yeah yeah [Music] she sucks so y'all experienced that the probability it's right it is more confident because I thought I was some long meat but it's more common I mean using people somebody I sleep paralysis I can get REM stage like you're mine is REM stage yeah like you yeah you're active but you still like your body's not aware so because you're like technically still keep it sleep but you're aware of it and that's why cuz you know when you go to sleep your body [Music] so we realize we're aware just so you know those issues [Music] 21 yeah [Music] because she was actually chilled when he had you didn't talking about this making jokes had no reason to be made other than because running with the car before you make a coffin noise [Music] always [Music] the means of the Rikishi comparisons are now usually about that situation my issue from being comfortable in your own skin as who does dough that you promote that but there's a way like the theme our actions as if oh we only get the her because she's be but I don't think that's the case necessary if you go into a public place like that a basketball a situation and you have to you know after why we need at the end of the day like you you open yourself to ridicule okay so this is what I'm saying there is she but I do feel like a basketball game versus in a warship I just feel like this light I love without staying not saying I don't love this all would a hole in a shirt but those people aren't attracted to see in there but my thing is the fact that I don't know a lot of her music and this is only thing I know her ass is a promise you I don't want this to take away from what I'm sure about how tempt if you could be because now it's like like you said that's the girl I don't know but throwing like the best money but to know the shirt know my home is almost empty don't that's why this is like I have a question that aren't all supposed to sit on top of the boat [Music] is one of those so this whole wave of yeah taker breather do me I'm free of weird there's that whole free chick it's kind of being taken out of speech mind Oh [Music] so again were acts as I listen rage that's the problem [Music] that's the case when it comes to search jokes beating me [Music] but it was going back to that area that would be something to prove I don't think you could prove that your walk now happen it's not happy because we got people in position of powder who are because the generation is being raised about is accustom to sensitivity catering to every single day even in a recorder like I have people who are recruiters right so when I when I would mean like recruiting was it was so easy like for them like you even text everybody like strip cards I'm stressed out what that's all so anyways that's just my soapbox on it but every but the whole reason of Cena is that everything is being sold but beat the generation Generation X is being it's okay so even us even some Millennials like they're so cater to like oh so what you're feeling what you're feeling sometimes your emotions can overpower your actual thought process so you what you're feeling your villains feel estranged they go away but your actions that you don't have to do with those consequences what is good or bad I mostly seen as a bad honestly my feelings I am applying America for turning an ear and a site to mittelos plan Americana is her twice but I don't [Applause] once again I do feel like people get mental health mixed up with temporary fillings like in the moment this is when a moment like people use being depressed so freely now like you have no freaking idea what depression is on depressed because not only do really really but everything is so it's so it's overused it's so overused to the fact that we people do that they're crying wolf nobody believes and receive attention [Music] and that's what makes it hard for people you know the psychological to differentiate who really need the help because people are overusing these terms of mental illness is crazy no one we came from the time period where is pretty much getting I live it's like if somebody says something about you like just the way we Grove is you handle it you mean weather now it wouldn't last time with you everybody what is that that's that's kind of a thing that I know we've met before you know around people where if something went down it wouldn't know crying about it like especially like you can relate to this like many times you told me something went down to be like if something happened and you know to your father your father wasn't going baby give me using talk to you like a man like handling this is what you do and it's funny because you do that without saying I see that all the time and I commend you on that breath because there's a lot of people out here that raise their children and coddle the real world economy so for us to give back today that lifestyle of you know being able to think for yourself you know saying not be so hurt a little thing goes wrong it really depends on us and you know just instill at that type of lifestyles do even though I feel like it's it's harder to do that because we we get those oh you didn't get first second or third but you got a fifth place over we get that the participation award to boost up you know morale you did really anything you know saying that's the one [Music] okay [Music] you smoke cigarettes [Music] like you know do copies in the intestinal fortitude like people people like common sense but consciousness applies like oh if I take this this and this and this thing happening but it honestly by baffles me how people can really just sit and make decisions without really taking into consideration any type of consequences at all like you just don't think about it like I'm gonna listen to the song you don't fill him and then you're gonna go act off that song but to me that's just it's ignorant and you lack some people that makes your [ __ ] but I honestly feel like for the most part it's just they're just ignorant yes yeah - you're gonna find a way to do something about me which is obviously like Oh [Music] versus being like a nurturer order or whatever it is that you're supposed to be in the Baramulla is to be like the reinforcer watched a gradual mother you know going take time with them then I'll show TVs I just want [Music] you know but that's the thing [Music] but you see them doing their emulating music you see their decisions like he had an interview with between two he just like something already said Luis use future was one of them contain he was like she had aged by listening very spike too long so stuff like it maybe wanted try like lean and pop pills cuz he thought that she was cool that's that's what he was doing that support that way it's it's cool now so now I'm thinking like alright oh geez that are something that step up in at Birth I mean this is already cool I mean you wasn't himself you know [Music] Oh [Music] now let's do some great cars [Music] which one all right [Music] make somebody do a ski no sleep you better be all right the time the time my standing or the time or the time I was though most of my days may leave is my girls [Music] it's been interesting this is awesome I enjoyed this podcast trying to do sponsorship [Music] you can have me anywhere you want me girl just you can do anything [Music]

around the bed here let's all look here to our right our beautiful black sand beach the lovers beach we call it here where most of us will come on our off days to spend some quality time with our other half right here at our beautiful black sand beach this is the love of the beach and this is our highest bridge 90 feet high 200 feet long and on both sides we have the extension of the beautiful lush green green forest this is our second major bridge [Music] so [Music] all right here you can take your foot on the [Music] that's the number two bridge on this line [Music] as we continue to look here to our right [Music] now there's never a dull moment around here so hold your camera as soon as we get around the bed we're gonna be on our third major bridge [Music] oh our third major bridge and that's the soldier that bridge that bridge is 240 feet long it is called the soldier got red because the french soldier come very close by those dave and they gave it the name the soldier the god bridge [Music] and let's go under the foot here we can see a brown and cream building with a white emblem as one of our churches here the mount carmel baptist church now here in ireland we have lots of different churches lots of different denominations we have baptist catholic methodists you name it we have it here so if you're here on the island spending some time with us and you'd love to worship you have a choice of where you can worship and feel comfortable and also here's all right because it's some banana trees these are what's left of what once used to be one of our farmers banana plantation so here on the island you can get a banana any time we'll never open bananas you can have it right eat it to the fruit in the morning for breakfast while we make a very special dish for our green banana this is our third major bridge the soldier got rich 240 feet [Music] long thank you so much you can see these trees with the dried pods on top now these trees are called wild hammering we use the leaves to make tea and that tea helps to control our high blood pressure you see here on the island we still and it works it has less side effects than the modern medicine and then you don't have to purchase these leaves you just come to pick your leaves wash your leaves boil your water pour your boiling water over the leaves leave it for a few minutes and then you drink that tea two or three times per day it helps to control our high blood pressure [Music] as we continue looking here to our left we can see this building with the white roof here there's a chimney between those pine trees that's a private research now owned by two americans out of boston and connecticut that's a private research there used to be an old sugar estate and then at phillips we make a rum before i can tell about that i need to look around make sure we have no police at board because that ramp is illegal it is called hammer but we call it here moonshine a very good drop now you take a smoother drop in the morning before you go to work and it gives you lots of energy you just keep going like the jerusalem battery and then at night before you go to bed with your other half take four spoonfuls you'll wake up in the morning with a smile on your face listen it is very strong it is 150 watt roof very strong rock very very strong you see why we have to take this spoonful it is very strong and as we continue now here looking to our left we can see an old sugar windmill and a chimney here was an estate called the mills's estate now that estate was owned by the mills family [Music] crime island island there was a sugar head state so if we do a calculation someone would realize we had about 68 sugar estates here in the island yeah i want you to bear in mind as we go along that wherever you see an old 68 event because somewhere up in the hills in the mountains those are the currency but just for information i want to go to this tiny village the village of christ's church it's a very small village with less than 100 persons living here now a long island main road because the church of the steeple that's the christ church and we can church you see a very long time ago the american churches were the more predominant churches here on the island that's the christ church american church and this village is called nicola town christ church and as we get around the bed we're going to be on our fourth and final major bridge and that's the christ church bridge it's our longest bridge and that bridge is very unique what makes it so unique it is the only bridge that crosses over the island's main road so as soon as we get around the bend we are going to be on our fourth and final major bridge the christ church bridge or longest bridge this is christ church warning mode this is our fourth and final major bridge the christ church bridge or longest bridge this is the island's main road down christ church bridge [Music] is known as from the transfer to the sugar engine which would then take the sugar factory to be produced into [Music] sugar [Music] this is a village of mansion and looking here to our right a beautiful home owned by one of our local contractors providing the village [Music] will come for their subbed in this area is called mansion space it's still on the atlantic side but this is a little cove here where they will come for the activating right here the mansion along at state so we have the estrich moravian church and ostrich primary school [Music] very cool as we continue to locate all that you can see all these beautiful homes these homes they were played by the government and they were built to accommodate the low income here on the island now we have a system here that you pay to boost pay your monthly mortgage eventually you can only phone eventually you can put on the extension to accommodate the size of your family now the government has built these homes in all of the different villages a very good thing that they have done because of the system that they haven't played most of our single parents and low income families they can now boast of having their own homes and they're very affordable [Music] they have 25 years in which you pray for these whole they're very affordable as i said you before the end of things in 68 square miles with a population of about 49 000 persons your main language is english but just in case you may hear me talking to one of my co-workers or one of my friends the language may sound a bit strange to you that is because we have our own dialect broken english is what we call it when we talk to each other we talk very fast we tend to chuck out some of the words so you listen to us it may sound a bit strange to you but it is still english also here in ireland we accept all major credit cards the exchange rate is 2.67 to one u.s dollar our currency is called eastern caribbean we shorten it and we say easy and look across the coastal layer there to right you not available shooting something crazy

Michał Karzyński - From Python script to Open Source Project
hi hello everybody so you want to be a rock star don't worry everybody secretly wants to be a rock star so what does it take to become a rock star well step one you need to master your instrument or multiple instruments if you play many of them but there's a very important step number two and that is that you need to learn to play in a band as a rock musician you're always on stage with other people you're always playing in a team so if you want to be a Python rock star because that's your instrument then you need to learn to play well with your band which is your team of other programmers and there are tools that can help you work together play together better and those things are standards things that we can all agree on best best practices that we found that work for us the best and tools that can actually check how well we're doing following these standards and best practices so hello my name is neo Kaczynski I come to you from Poland like it was said and I work at Intel on a very interesting open-source project called n graph which is a deep learning graph compiler which I'm sure you will be hearing a lot about in the coming years but I was in my spare time doing some playing around a little bit with the open AI gen I don't know if you know this is a reinforcement learning environment where you can teach an agent to play some solve some puzzles or play some games and what I found was that there wasn't actually a very good way to find out information about environments that you have installed locally so I was playing around with these environments they're very good api's that you can use to explore these environments so I wrote up a little tool debt that is able to help you explore these environments and I'm gonna show you that a little demo right now if I can so this is just the command-line utility you just typed something in it shows you the environments that you have installed on your computer you helps you pick the right environment for yourself and you can watch a random agent play space invaders and die quite quickly but you also get in the background some information about the rewards that it's getting for as it's playing which is helpful when you're developing your own algorithm in the gym so okay I've done that and I thought this is a very small thing but it could be useful to others so maybe I can release this as a package maybe somebody will be able to use this to play around as they are preparing to write their reinforcement learning algorithm for playing in the gem so then I thought alright if I want to release this as an open source project what will it take and I wanted to get like put all these tools and best practices that I've learned from working on a larger open source project into this tiny open source project and these are all the things that I found I needed to to use so my slides will be tagged with these little bubbles and you can the first set of bubbles shows you stages so you can prepare you first you need to prepare your code for some of these things then you can automate some of the things that I will be talking about and finally you can put all of this into a nice CI environment for continuous integration the little tags with a book icon sure you like references for more information about this things you can google for and that but the tags with no i can at all are just things you can pip install the names of packages you can pip install and tags with a little external link arrow are names of services that i will be talking about which will come up on some slight so that's the legend for the next slide but okay let's start so if you want to write a command-line utility you need to define your user interface your user interface in this case is your command-line interface and the expectation of a user when he's coming to some utility is that the command-line interface were what worked like this if you type in the name of the utility with no with no other options it'll give you like this one line short description of what the syntax is a reminder of what the syntax of the command is if you want to find out more you you do that - the help thing and you get the longer description of the interface and then you can provide the options the values for the various options either with long names or short names so that's what a good command-line interface looks like and actually it's written up in no guidelines for for command-line interfaces so how can you do this well actually very easily there's a tool that I like very much package called doc opt which allows you to define your entire command-line interface just by writing a doc string for your for your script so you just write this documentation once and it acts as the help text that will come up when the user uses - - help but it also becomes the the input to the doc opt function which is provided by the library which parses all the arguments takes all the values from the user from the command-line and gives you back a list of argument values that you can use directly in your script so that's the that's the first tool I want to recommend to you doc opt but there are of course other things other ways you can approach the same problem okay so now we have a script with a nice command-line interface what's the next step well the next step is to put all of this in a in a project in a package so this the the way we the standard we have in Python for laying out code and in the directory that goes out that will go up on github is like this you the root directory will be the directory for your entire package and then inside of that you'll have a readme file set up py file and some some source code which can either go into a directory named the same as your module or better yet just a directory called source and then you may have some tests in some Doc's so that's that that's where you can put your your code okay so that's ready now the next step I was thinking about okay so and what should I do next well I have to refactor my code a little bit so it's not just one big long function that does everything but is going to be something more maintainable maybe I'll have some contributors coming in maybe they want to add some features it's good to prepare the code in some way that we can all use to work together on later and so I'm just going to mention the standard I think that we should all be following which is the clean code guidelines from the famous book by Uncle Bob Martin Roberts and the TLDR of of clean code is basically that you should just write small single-purpose functions with meaningful names with arguments that have meaningful names each function serves the single responsibility doesn't take many parameters Uncle Bob says that two is the most that you should have and preferably no side-effects and that allows you to write things that you can easily test so you should write unit tests for each one of them okay so some refactoring done let's let's get to the next step well now the good practice that we are all following is to use this construct where we're in our module using if name equals main then we execute the function this this actually does two things one allows you to import the code from from from the module in another file and refactoring the main function into a separate function will come in handy very soon when I'm talking about entry points in a second so um the next step is to prepare a set of py file now this is actual setup UI file that I wrote it's not perfect but there was a talk yesterday by by Mark Smith about writing the perfect preparing it perfect the pipe UI package so you should check that out on YouTube afterwards if you haven't seen it but this is basically all you have to write to to get a to get setup tools to package up your code and this the arrow is pointing to a little trick that you can do too if you have a readme file written in markdown just use that as the long description for your for your package that will later be available and pipe UI so I recommend doing that then if you already have a setup py file you can use it of course the basic use of a set of py file is to prepare your packages so you can either prepare a source package or a binary distribution package a wheel which you can then upload to pipe UI and but you can also use setup UI and you should be it should be using it this way during local development so you can actually inside of a virtual environment that you created for working on your project and use setup UI with the develop option to install it locally another way to do this maybe even better is to pip install - e and current directory the dot indicates the current directory where the setup py file is and which will actually just call pip to call setup UI adoptable develop through pip but I was pip to handle the dependencies as well so another thing that setup UI allows you to do is to define entry points and this is this is a very useful feature of set of tools that not everybody takes advantage of entry points allow you to actually combine multiple packages into systems where of plugins so you can have a main package and you can have other packages that that are plug-ins for that package and these things can be defined through entry points but a very simple use case for entry points is to define the console script entry point which just gives you which just creates a command so my command in this case will become the command that you can call that your user will be able to call at the command line after they install your package and this syntax here maps to a specific function in a specific file in a specific module with this notation so if you want to write a command line utility you should probably write a console script entry for your set in your setup do I file okay so next next subject that you need to take care of is requirements and this is a big subject which I will only be able to skim over due to time limitations but the gist of it is that you need to provide a way for your users to set up an environment that resembles your environment as closely as possible and the way I use requirements txt is to provide a list of specific packages at specific versions that I've tested the the package width and this is this is very useful for your users to then find out okay if it's not working for them maybe one of the dependencies is at a different version so the simplest way to create a requirements files to use Patrese and then you can install these with pepp install and I would recommend separating requirements and that you need for the actual running of installation of the package from the ones that you only need for testing because that will come in handy later when you're automating some CI processes so I'm not going to get into pipin or other approaches to handling requirements but you should look into those if you're curious okay next next best practice this is official now I think we should all use black so it's very to use you just install it and then you just run it on your source code and it just reformats the hell out of it but it does it in a consistent way so you may not like it but it's the way we the way it works is consistent and we can all agree and that's the it's a huge value that we don't have to argue how we're going to be formatting commas at the end of lines there's a way that standardized and you know let's just all stick to it so black is just one formatter that you can use you can actually have a number of them and if you if you use them then a very good practice is to use them together with pre-commit pre-commit is a simple tool that you install and then the first time you want to use it you you run this command pre-commit install and it sets up get pre-commit hook for running all of your code for matters so with if you want to use pre commit with black then the configuration file on the left which you should store in this special llamó file called dot pre-commit contract will set up will download black from the internet and prepare it for for running and then the next time you want to commit a change you type git commit that will trigger black and run it on all your files and if anything is changed by black meaning that it had to be reformatted it will prevent you from actually committing the change so it's a good useful tool for very quickly checking your formatting before you even commit the change another good way to test if you're actually following all the standards is to use cold winter my favorite is flake eight but there are of course many others and why I like flake eight is that it has this plug-in architecture that I described before so you have flake eight as the main module that you install but then there are many many other flake aid packages that you can add on to it and in this list you just have the ones that I like to use you can find others they can look for they can test not just compliance of your code to PAP eight which is of course the requirement that the standard we should all be following but also it can look for some bugs common common mistakes that are made sorting of your imports with I sword and other things that that you like to have in your code you can all be tested with these flake aid plugins it's very easy to configure you can put your configuration and talks any in the flake eight section and define some define some values like line length now because we should all use black the official line length became 88 because it has 10% tolerance for at 80 line length and a ten percent tolerance and you can exclude some checks from flake eight if you want by adding this ignore the instruction in there and now if you run the flake eight command it will load all of these plugins run your code all of your source code through all of these tests and inform you if you're missing something or if something is amiss not formatted correctly or maybe you have a common bug or a security fault that you didn't notice somewhere in your code so this is very useful another useful check is my pie and type annotations that are now available in Python 3 this takes a bit more work because you actually have to do the type like add the type annotation to all of your code but if you do it it pays off because you can do static type analysis of your code before you actually before you commit it so this will check if any where in your entire code base you're calling something with the wrong type of argument and this can sometimes find bugs that you they're silly that you really didn't mean to do but somehow you put the wrong you're calling a function with the wrong with the wrong variable for example and normally you would have to find that somewhere and fix it but my PI can find these types of issues for you very quickly and without even running your your code so use my PI for for this purpose if you if you have the patience to put the type annotations everywhere but I recommend ok so now we have some checking how do we put it all together well the tool that everybody's recommending these days is talks and talks is very simple to configure and it can put all of your tests together into one thing so the a simple talks configuration is written in the Box on the left and it defines a list of environments that will be tested in this case python 3.5 3.6 3.7 and then the definition of the testing environment the dependencies the commands we want to run and even some other configuration sections can be put all into this one toxin file even for other tools so with this set up all you have to do is run the talks command or if you want to run just a single environment you can run the talks command with the - each option and the name of an environment and it will start by creating a virtual environment for that specific version of Python installing all the dependencies into that environment installing your packaging up your code and installing it into the virtual environment and then running the commands so all of your tests like here I have to lay cake and pie tests but you can build on top of that all the tests that you need can be run with one call off call to tox so that's very useful and it'll come in handy in a second when we're putting this all in in a CI system but if we're going to be testing things well we need to write unit tests so this is where refactoring of the code into small functions comes in handy because now you can write simple unit tests for each function and the the test tool that I think is becoming more and more popular all the time is PI test it's really easy to use you can write tests with minimal boilerplate just just just import your function run it and put some assert statements into a test and you have a test and that's all you have to do so it's easy to get started and then you just run all the tests with simple call to the PI test command okay so now we've got all the code preparation all the code is prepared everything is done we're ready to share with the community a pretty robust project so what do we do well of course we put it up on in the git repository these days github is king but get laughs of course is a popular alternative and and there there's bitbucket as well so I'm not going to do recommend just github but it is the one that has best integration for all the tools that I will be talking about from now on so you just set up a git repository put all your code all your code to the repository and push it to to the repository if you're creating a repository remember to put a git ignore file into your git repository and the license the license is the thing that's easy to forget but it's critical if you don't put a license in your code no one can use it so put put the license set up the git repository and then you can proceed to setting up a continuous integration environment I like to use Travis but of course as with everything there are alternatives that Travis is easy to use because you just prepare a simple another llamó file you just drop another llamó file into your repository and when you put one like this that calls talks that one talks that one call two talks will run all your tests so if you if you do that and you set up at an account on Travis and add your repository to that to that account the testing will start and you will start seeing these little checks on all the PRS that you make to your repository which are very useful even for yourself when you're writing code you can go through the PR process of your own changes and see if it passes all the tests another useful tool that's available for free for anybody who has an open source repository on github is a requirements updater I like to use PI up bot specifically for Python requirements but there's also dependable which is free for other languages as well so there's no configuration required you just set it up by creating an account and giving it access to - to your repository and then the bot will scan your requirement file and figure out if they're up to date with versions of on pi PI if they're not then it will start creating pull requests with updates to specific versions of packages and if you have a CI process in place then you will know which ones you can merge and which ones you can't because the ones you can merge are the ones that have a green checkmarks and the ones the tests fail for will have a will have a cross so that's very useful okay and other useful things another useful thing is to check your test coverage the PI test library and other Python unit test libraries can actually check which lines of your source code were hit when running your test suite and then give you a report so this is actually very easy to use for pi test you just add this - - call the option specify your module and then you'll get a report for him for your module if you want more information you can ask for HTML report and that will generate a code coverage report in an HTML and HTML files which show you exactly which lines of your source code are tested and which ones are not being tested so you can so you can see where you still need to add code there add tests and then the you you can actually integrate this with another service online which will track the test coverage over time and may even prevent you from merging changes which decrease the code coverage on your in your repository another thing I want to mention is code review if you're working as a team the best thing you can do for each other is review each other's code the people you work with have the chance and you have the chance to tell them which part of the music they're playing you really like and which one you think should be a little better and that's the moment to do this is during code review but you can also there are also services now and I think they're getting better although they're far from perfect yet that do automated code review so you can sign up for something like CODIS CODIS e or code climate and it will actually look at all the PRS in your repository and find things that may be wrong with this code and give you making code review on your PRS okay another but you can employ is something that will automatically merge PRS so merge defied IO is one that I recently set up and you can configure rules that apply to your PR and if a PR matches these rules then it will get automatically merged for example this is a configuration for automatically merging a PR that has past CI and has at least one positive review and if your PR matches this then merge if I will merge it and you can even set up a different rule that will delete the old branch so if you have all this in place you actually have dots working for you the pipe bot will find updates to packages on pi PI Travis will test if these packages are our passing your tests and if everything passes merge if I can merge these PRS so without you doing anything you can have your project be kept up to date with its dependencies of pi PI so I'm getting to the end of my story now you're ready to publish your your project on pi PI this is very easy we have a tool called twine and so once your packages are built you can upload them to twine if you just need to set up an account on PI API and your package is published and you're happy and everybody can use it so I rolled up all the details I know this went fast but everything that I said is in an article on my blog so you can read it at your own pace [Applause] thank you so much me ha for this very interesting talk do we have questions for me ha ha so yeah I haven't set up an automated documentation for this particular project because there isn't much documentation but I'm torn between Sphinx and make dogs I'm a fan of markdown so I don't like restructured texts which makes me bias against against thanks but I think spanks is very powerful and I've seen it used to good effect by people so I guess in the right hands okay do we have another question for me ho yes let's use the microphone for the recording recently I worked in an automated versioning and I came to a bump to version together with a script that I made myself do you know some tool to do it in an automated way or we have to do it ourselves at the moment that's a good question and I don't think I have encountered a tool that actually does this so so far I've been doing it manually but it would be a good good thing - yeah thank you we have one more question over there I'll come to you do you know if there's a way to instil pre-commit globally or as a git repo template because my experience as people forget to install Pico metrics when they start new project well if they forget to install pre-commit they will pay for it during after they commit because they all the the PR will not pass your tests so they it's it benefits them to install it so they'll have motivation to do it at some point do we have more questions raise your hands okay so if we don't have further questions for me how another round of applause for me how [Applause]

Duly Noted - UTI Prevention 101
a UTI is actually so it's a urinary tract infection and then otherwise known as a bladder infection sometimes when it's worse then sometimes people will call it a bladder and kidney infection but basically it is an infection of the urinary tract where their the urine actually builds up bacteria and so largely the symptoms that a patient will tell their doctor about is that there is burning with urination or urgency to urinate or a feeling like they just urinated but they can't get it all out or they want to go again sometimes even to the point of leakage and sometimes even to the point of seeing some darker colored urine or blood in the urine

Everything you need to know about the Medic in Remnant 2
here's everything you need to know about the medic archetype in Remnant 2. the medic is a support class that attempts to heal and improve the survivability for not only your team but also yourself you start this class off with the field medic set the bone Saw lmg Service pistol and the steel flail the three skills for the medic are the starter skill Wellspring which has a pretty short cooldown where you create a circle on the ground that heals everyone standing in it healing Shield which has been a favorite of mine it has a long cooldown but you can max out expert cheese which lowers skill CDs this ability activates for you and everyone within 25 meters and it's basically just a 10 second window where you can't die because you have so much Shields and health and finally there is redemption which is a fast AOE rebuy for teammates that also heals them a lot once they are rest taking a look at the archetype trait triage the medic receives 50 increased healing after maxing it out this pairs well with the healing shot mod so it's a pretty good idea to use that from time to time and finally we have the perks that prioritize damage Relic usage and defense

RZR Mirror Install 2019 Polaris 900 S
something missing that goes right here hey guys welcome to another episode of Mo scratch today we're gonna be installing some side mirrors on the racer mirrors are another way that you can save some money a little bit good example is this mirror here I got installed at the dealership when I bought the machine and it was like 80 bucks they gave me a little bit of a discount and the mirror turned out to be 80 bucks you look at Amazon you could get the same kind of mirror 16 bucks so the mirrors that we're installing today these side view mirrors I got from Amazon and I paid a total of 28 dollars their breakaway mirrors which means you pull them in that shatterproof you know basically the same thing you get at the dealership but at a much cheaper price so simple little thing to install but I'll show you how to do it and let's get to it so the mirrors come in a box like this they're labeled left and right this one's here's the right side for the right side of the machine so it comes with two different types of clamps or I'm assuming probably a two-inch pipe and a 1 and 1/2 or 1 and 3/4 anyways this is the one we're going to use for our wool bar here so this one just throw down in here you've got the one rubber that's got the nice little finish on it so that just slides in here like so and it gives you a nice little little edge this top and bottom alright there's some extra pieces of rubber because when you put these on chances are sometimes it might be a little loose so you add some rubber and it'll make it tighter so we'll just leave that out here next thing we follow is the bolts to attach it in just takes two and then we've got the mirror which looks like this and you can turn it there's a screw in here to adjust it to either loosen it off so you can bend it a bit or tighten it up so that it's not so easy to flip back and there's also an Allen screw here and that's so you can adjust because when you put the mirror on it might be angled too far down so you can just loosen off the Allen screw and pull it over a little bit and it flips it back so that's just a little adjustments to do alright so first things first I figure roughly where we're gonna put this there's two sides to this too all right so there's two sides to it one side this part here will slide in nice and easy his legs in and then your screw will screw into here it only goes in one way you can't fit it in this way so the shaft is thicker the hole is here bigger for the shaft is sliding and in my case I want that to be from underneath I want to slide the shaft up here like this I will the glass here a little bit just to give myself some room try to keep the rubber in place and it's moved there we go I'm not gonna lie I installed the driver's side area so that I wouldn't look like a complete idiot trying to install this and have another great and what I found from the other side is I had to cut a piece of rubber to slide it in to give it more of a bite when it tightens it up so it doesn't move so I'm gonna insert that in there now actually doesn't even have to be that long a small piece in just gives it more of a circumference to sit on so when you tighten it keep the adjustment up the window the same as the other side see this smaller just like I said if you don't need a very big piece you just want it to have a bigger and they get tighter around me I'll just move this out of the way just a little bit so it's out of the way now the other part that's your adjustment now the mirror sits like this which isn't bad but let's see if we can improve so you just take the Allen screw and loosen it off and then this you can pull like that adjust it whatever whatever you need see if I turn it like this like I'm to put it on now the mirrors facing down it's got quite a bit of adjustment so it's not that you can get it just pretty much where you want it this would be so we'll see that taking this backup mirror goes in okay [Music] that's nice and tight now a bit of adjustment here too underneath so to adjust the screw underneath here it's a ten millimeter nut that's good don't want it too too tight I'm thinking you hit a branch or something as you're driving by you know it'll easily knock it over which is pretty much what you want you just don't want to shake it too much where it gets is it you can't see nothing out of it and that's it besides a minor little tweaking getting in the seat and adjusting it for yourself well drivers see doesn't say that's pretty much it guys so that's it guys that's how you install the side mirrors on the razor a couple bolts a little bit of tightening here and there adjustment and that's it nice little simple add-ons that you can add on to your machine Fritchie I mean 30 bucks and you got some mirrors instead of fading maybe a hundred at the dealer so guys don't forget hit that subscribe button if you like what you see like it it helps and share thanks a lot guys see you in my next one [Music] [Applause] [Music] you

CBF inside Part 2
hi warm greetings from the general secretariat of the catholic biblical federation as a part of the preparations for the 10th plenary assembly we present the cbf from the inside in the first video we have seen the history the mission and activities of the catholic biblical federation and in this second video we will look at the internal structure of the federation we have a close look at its administration as in the previous issue we will now also make the use of a chart this is the structure of the catholic biblical federation the supreme governing body of the federation is the plenary assembly held every six years with the participation of the delegates of all members of the federation of the full members and associate members during the plenary assembly the exif committee is elected and is composed by one representative of full members from each region it means seven delegates of full members then three representatives of all associate members and for ex-official members president of the federation chairman of the administrative board the treasurer and the delegate of vatican the exif committee elects and appoints the administrative board mandated to deal with administrative matters mostly legislative and financial issues xf committee also elects and proposes for the appointment by by vatican the candidate for the president of the federation and the mandate of the president is of six years for six years and is independent from the plenary assembly exec committee also uh on proposal from the administrative board appoints the general secretary code also executive executive director his contract is for six years renovo another very important aspect is the coordination about the members of the federation in the regions and sub-regions let's recall from our previous issue that the members of the catholic biblical federation are grouped in seven regions we have the regions of latin america caribbean north america oceania asia africa middle east and europe the biggest regions it is asia and europe are subdivided in sub-regions according to the constitution in article 59 we read the regions that sub-regions create and maintain their own structures guidelines and statutes to network with the national regional bishops conferences in developing common action plans for biblical pastoral activities and to assume responsibility for their own finances under the supervision and control of the federation treasurer also as in the since the change in two of the constitution in 2015 uh is established that the coordination of the region in the sub-region is entrusted to original respectively to a sub-regional committee composed of full member delegates and associate member delegates this is the main change that was introduced in tutan in the year 2015 when the accent was put on the regional committee not on the coordinator of the of the region and obviously to be member or of the regional subcommittee the committee is required to be to have the talent of corresponsibility capacity of work with the spirit of seniority and also the creativity because from the activity of the regional committee and from the regional coordinator depends the activity of the federation in that regions federation is present in the region through the members and is active in the region through the activity of the members so the regional committees are composed depending from the structure of the region for example in latin america in caribbean and southeast asia the sub-regions of regions are subdivided in zones and each zone has a zonal coordinator and these zonal coordinators they compose they are also the members they form conform the original committee in other regions like europe africa the members of the of the regions of the regional committees are elected by by the members or as the case of of africa by the second that is based on the agreement between the second and the catholic biblical federation and and in article 61 of our constitution we read that the regional or suboriginal committee proposes a regional or sub-regional coordinator whose name is submitted to the receive committee for appointment after consultation of the general secretary regional coordinators may be identical with the persons mandated by the competent federation of bishops conferences for the coordination of biblical pastoral work in the corresponding ecclesiastical region this last sentence refers to the case of africa where the director of the beacon biblical center from africa madagascar is this exofficio the coordinator of the cbf in the in the region obviously the person elected and appointed for the for the coordinator of the of the region should have experience of activity in the in the federation and also is required that he should have the institutional support of the institution so it is stipulated in the constitution in article 60 this person should be delegate of member institution of the federation because the federation has no offices in the regions so we rely on the member institutions who are using the logistic support of the member institution to which from which the the coordinator proceeds also the person who will be the coordinator should have this approach of dialogue experience of team working and this capacity of tip working with the spirit of senodality and also corresponsibility since the change in the cbf constitution in 2015 a new coordinating body has been created it is the coordinator's conference according to the article 65 of our constitution the coordinators conference is a management level body that promotes inter-regional sharing is coordination of biblical pasta work and provides a forum for the discussion of issues vital to the life and development of the federation as well for the elaboration of position papers concerning these questions and in article 68 the meetings and consultations of the coordinators conference which shall take place at least once every three years may be facilitated by the use of all means of the modern communications and finally is the section of the finances that making it possible for all this whole structure to to function in the previous presentation we said the the federation's finances are made up of the members contributions the membership fees paid by the member institutions of the cbf but these contributions cover only twenty percent of the budgets uh of the federal annual budget of the federation so we complete this budget with the support of financial support of catholic agencies like kirchenaud bishops conference from the united states some dioceses diocese of munich diocese of ausburg from from germany and recently we have created also in the united states uh the friends of the catholic biblical federation for our own fund raising so the section of the finances is under responsibility of administrative board in coordination with the exec committee and the ordinary administrator of the finances and goods of the federation is the general secretary also recently as we said we we can receive some support from the first from the friends of the catholic bible federation if even if this institution is at its beginning and their support is not significant at the at the moment but we are working in the implementation of making more known that the friends of the cbf to raise more money for the for the federation this is the structure of our federation the last information is that the central office is still so our legal c of the federation is still in sanotel in germany but we are already finishing the process of transferring the office to to rome under the vatican legislation it takes a long time for the third year but we are confident that very soon we will probably finish this process and we will open our central office in our legal presence in in rome under the vatican legislation so this is the the structure as you see is very democratic synodal structure with many lay people involved who are working together live person religious person bishops priests working all together on different levels of the administration of the federation the administration is reduced to minimum to save costs and to not underline too much the the administrative issue the important accent for us is the the biblical activity in the region and this structure is created in order to help us to develop this this activity this is how the internal structure of the catholic medical federation is presented i hope this presentation will help you to have a clear idea about the structure of federation and also more criteria when it comes to electing the new administrative positions new officials of the federation both the zona regional coordinators elected outside of the plenary assembly before and members of the executive committee elected by the delegates of the member institutions gathered during the plenary assembly thank you very much you

the Bible from coin Greek table biblia table biblia the books is a collection of sacred texts or scriptures that Jews and Christians consider to be a product of divine inspiration and a record of the relationship between God and humans with estimated total sales of over 5 billion copies it is widely considered to be the most influential and best-selling book of all time many different authors contributed to the Bible what is regarded as canonical text differs depending on traditions and groups a number of Bible canons have evolved with overlapping and diverging contents the Christian Old Testament overlaps with the Hebrew Bible and the Greek Septuagint the Hebrew Bible is known in Judaism as the Tanakh the New Testament is a collection of writings by early Christians believed to be mostly Jewish disciples of Christ written in first century coin Greek these early Christian Greek writings consists of Gospels letters and apocalyptic writings among Christian denominations there is some disagreement about what should be included in the Canon primarily about the Apocrypha a list of works that are regarded with varying levels of respect attitudes towards the Bible also differ amongst Christian groups Roman Catholics high church Anglicans and Eastern Orthodox Christians stressed the harmony and importance of the Bible and sacred tradition while Protestant churches including evangelical Anglicans focus on the idea of Sola scriptura or Scripture alone this concept arose during the Protestant Reformation and many denominations today support the use of the Bible as the only source of Christian teaching the Bible has been a massive influence on literature and history especially in the Western world where the Gutenberg Bible was the first book printed using movable type according to the March 2007 edition of Time the Bible has done more to shape literature history entertainment and culture than any book ever written its influence on world history is unparalleled and shows no signs of abating as of the 2000s it sells approximately 100 million copies annually you topic etymology the English word Bible is from the Latin biblia from the same word in medieval Latin and late Latin and ultimately from coin Greek table biblia translate table biblia the books singular bibley and biblia n-- medieval latin biblia is short for biblia sacra holy book while biblia in greek and late latin does neuter plural gent bibley Oram it gradually came to be regarded as a feminine singular noun biblia gen bibley a in medieval latin and so the word was loaned as a singular into the vernaculars of western europe latin biblia sacra holy books translates Greek table Biblia tahai atop biblia tania the holy books the word bibley in itself had the literal meaning of paper or scroll and came to be used as the ordinary word for book it is the diminutive of Byblos byblos Egyptian papyrus possibly so called from the name of the Phoenician seaport byblos also known as cabal from whence egyptian papyrus was exported to Greece the Greek table biblia lit little papyrus books was an expression Hellenistic Jews used to describe their sacred books the Septuagint Christian use of the term can be traced to see 223 C II the biblical scholar FF Bruce notes that Chris system appears to be the first writer in his homilies on Matthew delivered between 386 and 388 to use the Greek phrase to biblia the books to describe both the old and new testaments together topic textual history by the second century BCE Jewish groups began calling the books of the Bible the scriptures and they referred to them as holy or in Hebrew Kaiba ha codes kid veja Kadesh and christians now commonly call the Old and New Testaments of the Christian Bible the Holy Bible in Greek table Biblia taaha table Biblia tockia or the Holy Scriptures ADA Agia graph iya geograph the Bible was divided into chapters in the 13th century by Stephen Langton and it was divided into verses in the 16th century by French printer Robert sdn and is now usually cited by book chapter and verse the division of the Hebrew Bible into verses is based on the soft passive cantillation mark used by the 10th century macerates to record the verse divisions used in earlier oral traditions the oldest extant copy of a complete Bible as an early 4th century parchment book preserved in the Vatican Library and it is known as the Codex Vaticanus the oldest copy of the Tanakh in Hebrew and Aramaic dates from the 10th century CE II the oldest copy of a complete Latin Vulgate Bible as the Codex a madness dating from the 8th century topic development professor John que riches professor of divinity and biblical criticism at the University of Glasgow says that the biblical texts themselves are the result of a creative dialogue between ancient traditions and different communities through the ages and the biblical texts were produced over a period in which the living conditions of the writers political cultural economic and ecological varied enormous Lee timothy h lim a professor of hebrew bible and second temple judaism at the university of edinburgh says that the Old Testament is a collection of authoritative texts of apparently divine origin that went through a human process of writing and editing he states that it is not a magical book nor was it literally written by God and passed to mankind parallel to the solidification of the Hebrew Canon C 3rd century BCE only the Torah first and then the Tanakh began to be translated into Greek and expanded now referred to as the Septuagint or the Greek Old Testament in Christian Bibles the New Testament Gospels were derived from oral traditions in the second half of the 1st century CE II riches says that scholars have attempted to reconstruct something of the history of the oral traditions behind the Gospels but the results have not been too encouraging the period of transmission is short less than 40 years passed between the death of Jesus and the writing of Mark's Gospel this means that there was little time for oral traditions to assume fixed form the Bible was later translated into Latin and other languages John Rich's states that the translation of the Bible into Latin marks the beginning of a parting of the ways between Western Latin speaking Christianity and Eastern Christianity which spoke Greek Syriac Coptic at the optic and other languages the Bibles of the Eastern Churches vary considerably the Ethiopic Orthodox Canon includes 81 books and contains many apocalyptic texts such as were found at Qumran and subsequently excluded from the Jewish canon as a general rule one can say that the Orthodox churches generally follow the Septuagint and including more books in their Old Testaments than are in the Jewish canon you topic Hebrew Bible the Masoretic text is the authoritative Hebrew texts of the Hebrew Bible or to knock it defines the books of the Jewish canon and also the precise lettered text of these biblical books with their vocalization and accentuation the oldest extant manuscripts of the Masoretic text date from approximately the 9th century CE II and the Aleppo codex once the oldest complete copy of the Masoretic text but now missing its Torah section dates from the 10th century the name to knock Hebrew 10k reflects the threefold division of the Hebrew Scriptures Torah teaching naveen prophets and could to them writings topic Torah the Torah Torah is also known as the five books of Moses or the Pentateuch meaning five scroll cases the Hebrew names of the books are derived from the first words in the respective texts the Torah consists of the following five books Genesis Bereshit verse 8 Exodus shamoto Smule Ovidius Vayikra weicker Numbers Bamidbar BM bbr Deuteronomy devarim D brim the first 11 chapters of Genesis provide accounts of the creation or ordering of the world in the history of God's early relationship with humanity the remaining 39 chapters of Genesis provide an account of God's covenant with the biblical Patriarchs Abraham Isaac and Jacob also called Israel and Jacobs children the children of Israel especially Joseph it tells of how God commanded Abraham to leave his family and home in the city of Ur eventually to settle in the land of Canaan and how the children of Israel later moved to Egypt the remaining four books of the Torah tell the story of Moses who lived hundreds of years after the patriarchs he leads the children of Israel from slavery in ancient Egypt to the renewal of their covenant with God at Mount Sinai and their wanderings in the desert until a new generation was ready to enter the land of Canaan the Torah ends with the death of Moses the Torah contains the commandments of God revealed at Mount Sinai although there is some debate among traditional scholars as to whether these were all written down at one time or over a period of time during the 40 years of the wanderings in the desert while several modern Jewish movements reject the idea of a literal revelation and critical scholars believe that many of these laws developed later in Jewish history these Commandments provide the basis for Jewish

the last of the three portions of the Tanakh to have been accepted as biblical canon while the torah may have been considered canon by israel as early as the fifth century BCE and the former and latter prophets were canonized by the second century BCE the ketubah was not a fixed canon until the second century of the Common Era evidence suggests however that the people of Israel were adding what would become the ketubah to their holy literature shortly after the canonization of the prophets as early as 132 BCE references suggest that the ketubah was starting to take shape although it lacked a formal title references in the four Gospels as well as other books of the New Testament indicate that many of these texts were both commonly known and counted as having some degree of religious authority early in the first century CE II many scholars believe that the limits of the ketubah m'as canonized Scripture were determined by the Council of Jamia C 90c II against a peon the writing of Josephus in 95 C he treated the text of the Hebrew Bible as a closed canon to which no one has ventured either to add or to remove or to alter a syllable for a long time following this date the divine inspiration of aster the Song of Songs and Ecclesiastes was often under scrutiny topic original languages the Tanakh was mainly written in Biblical Hebrew with some small portions Ezra chapter 4 verse 8 - 6 to 18 and 7 12 - 26 Jeremiah chapter 10 verse 11 Daniel chapter 2 verse 4 - 7 - 28 written in biblical aramaic a sister language which became the lingua franca for much of the Semitic world topic septuagint the septuagint or the lxx is a translation of the hebrew scriptures and some related texts into coin greek begun in the late 3rd century BCE and completed by 132 BCE initially in Alexandria but in time it was completed elsewhere as well it is not altogether clear which was translated when or where some may even have been translated twice in two different versions and then revised as the work of translation progressed the Canon of the Greek Bible expanded the Torah always maintained its preeminence as the basis of the Canon but the collection of prophetic writings based on the Nephi had various hagiographical works incorporated into it in addition some newer books were included in the Septuagint among these are the Maccabees and the wisdom of Sirach however the book of Sirach is now known to have existed in a Hebrew version since ancient Hebrew manuscripts of it were rediscovered in modern times the Septuagint version of some biblical books like Daniel and Esther are longer than those in the Jewish Canon some of these deuterocanonical books eg the wisdom of Solomon and the second book of Maccabees were not translated but composed directly in Greek since late antiquity once attributed to a hypothetical late first century Council of Jamia mainstream rabbinic judaism rejected the Septuagint as valid Jewish scriptural texts several reasons have been given for this first some mistranslations were claimed second the Hebrew source texts used for the Septuagint differed from the Masoretic tradition of Hebrew texts which was chosen as canonical by the Jewish rabbis third the rabbi's wanted to distinguish their tradition from the newly emerging tradition of Christianity finally the rabbi's claimed a divine authority for the Hebrew language in contrast to Aramaic or Greek even though these languages were the lingua franca of Jews during this period and Aramaic would eventually be given a holy language status comparable to Hebrew the Septuagint is the basis for the old Latin Slavonic Syriac old armenian old Georgian and Coptic versions of the Christian Old Testament the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches use most of the books of the Septuagint while Protestant churches usually do not after the Protestant Reformation many Protestant Bibles began to follow the Jewish Canon and a exclude the additional texts which came to be called biblical Apocrypha the Apocrypha are included under a separate heading in the King James Version of the Bible the basis for the Revised Standard Version topic in corporations from Theodosian in most ancient copies of the Bible which contained the Septuagint version of the Old Testament the Book of Daniel is not the original Septuagint version but instead is a copy of Theodosius translation from the Hebrew which more closely resembles the Masoretic text the Septuagint version was discarded in favor of Theodosius version in the second to third century CE II in Greek speaking areas this happened near the end of the second century and in Latin speaking areas at least in North Africa it occurred in the middle of the third century history does not record the reason for this and st. jerome reports in the preface to the Vulgate version of daniel this thing just happened one of two old greek texts of the book of daniel has been recently rediscovered and work is ongoing and reconstructing the original form of the book the canonical Ezra Nehemiah is known in the Septuagint des Esdras B and one Esdras us esdras a one Esdras is a very similar text to the books of Ezra Nehemiah and the two are widely thought by scholars to be derived from the same original text it has been proposed and is thought highly likely by scholars that Esdras be the canonical Ezra and Nehemiah is the additions version of this material and Esdras a is the version which was previously in the Septuagint on its own topic final form some texts are found in the septuagint but are not present in the Hebrew these additional books are Tobit Judith wisdom of Solomon wisdom of Jesus son of Sirach Baruch the letter of Jeremiah which later became chapter 6 of Baruch in the Vulgate additions to Daniel the prayer of Azaria's the song of the three children Susanna and bell in the Dragon additions to Esther 1 Maccabees 2 Maccabees 3 Maccabees 4 Maccabees 1 Esdras ODEs including the prayer of Manasseh the Psalms of Solomon and some chapter 151 some books that are set apart in the Masoretic text are grouped together for example the books of Samuel and the books of Kings are in the lxx one book in four parts called bazillion of rains in lxx the books of chronicles supplement rains and it is called parallel Palma non parallel permanent things left out the Septuagint organizes the Minor Prophets as 12 parts of one book of 12 topic Christian Bibles a Christian Bible is a set of books that a Christian denomination regards as divinely inspired and thus constituting Scripture although the early church primarily used the Septuagint or the targa Hmong Aramaic speakers the Apostles did not leave a defined set of new Scriptures instead the Canon of the New Testament developed over time groups within Christianity include differing books as part of their sacred writings most prominent among which are the biblical Apocrypha or deuterocanonical books significant versions of the English Christian Bible include the Douay Rheims Bible the authorized King James Version the English revised version the American Standard Version the Revised Standard Version the new American Standard Version the new King James Version the New International Version and the English standard version topic Old Testament the books which make up the Christian Old Testament differ between the Catholic see Catholic Bible Orthodox and Protestant see Protestant Bible churches with the Protestant movement excepting only those books contained in the Hebrew Bible while Catholics and Orthodox have wider canons a few groups consider particular translations to be divinely inspired notably the Greek Septuagint in the aramaic peshitta topic apocryphal or deuterocanonical books in Eastern Christianity translations based on the Septuagint still prevail the Septuagint was generally abandoned in favor of the 10th century Masoretic text as the basis for translations of the Old Testament into Western languages some modern Western translations since the 14th century make use of the Septuagint to clarify passages in the Masoretic text where the Septuagint may preserve a variant reading of the Hebrew text they also sometimes adopt variants that appear in other texts eg those discovered among the Dead Sea Scrolls a number of books which are part of the peshitta or the Greek Septuagint but are not found in the Hebrew rabbinic Bible ie among the proto canonical books are often referred to as deuterocanonical books by Roman Catholics referring to a later secondary ie deutero canon that Canon is fixed definitively by the Council of Trent 1545 215 63 it includes 46 books for the Old Testament 45 if Jeremiah and lamentations are counted as one and 27 for the new most Protestants termed these books as Apocrypha modern Protestant traditions do not accept the deuterocanonical books as canonical although Protestant Bibles included them in Apocrypha sections until the 1820s however Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches include these books as part of their Old Testament the Roman Catholic Church recognizes Tobit judith 1 Maccabees 2 Maccabees wisdom Sirach or ecclesiasticus baruch the letter of jeremiah baruch chapter 6 greek additions to esther book of esther chapters 10 - 4 - 12 - 6 the prayer of Azariah and song of the three holy children verses 1 to 68 book of daniel chapter 3 verses 24 to 90 susanna book of daniel chapter 13 belle and the dragon book of daniel chapter 14 in addition to those the Greek and Russian Orthodox churches recognize the following 3 Maccabees 1 Esdras manasa some chapter 151 russian and georgian orthodox churches include 2 Esdras ie Latin esdras in the Russian and Georgian Bibles there is also 4 Maccabees which is only accepted as canonical in the Georgian Church but was included by st. jerome in an appendix to the Vulgate and as an appendix to the greek orthodox bible and it is therefore sometimes included in collections of the Apocrypha the syriac orthodox tradition includes psalms 151 to 155 the apocalypse of baruch the letter of barrage the ethiopian biblical canon includes Jubilees enoch 1 2 3 mecca being on some other books the Anglican Church uses some of the apocryphal books liturgically therefore editions of the Bible intended for use in the Anglican Church include the deuterocanonical books accepted by the Catholic Church plus one Esdras 2 Esdras in the prayer of Manasseh which were in the Vulgate appendix topic pseudepigrapha books the term pseudepigrapha commonly describes numerous works of Jewish religious literature written from about 300 BCE to 300 C II not all of these works are actually sutapa graphical it also refers to books of the New Testament Canon whose authorship is misrepresented the Old Testament pseudepigrapha works include the following three Maccabees four Maccabees assumption of Moses at the optic book of enoch 1 enoch Slavonic Book of Enoch to Enoch Hebrew book of Enoch 3 Enoch also known as the revelation of Metatron or the book of rabbi ishmael the high priest book of Jubilees Syriac apocalypse of borrow - Baruch letter of eros Deus lettered - Falak Radice regarding the translating of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek life of Adam and Eve martyrdom and ascension of Isaiah Psalms of Solomon sibylline oracles Greek apocalypse of baruch 3 borrowed Testaments of the 12 patriarchs topic book of Enoch notable pseudepigrapha works include the books of enoch such as 1 enoch - enoch surviving only in old Slavonic and 3 enoch surviving in hebrew see 5th to 6th century see II these are ancient Jewish religious works traditionally ascribed to the Prophet Enoch the great-grandfather of the patriarch Noah they are not part of the biblical canon used by Jews apart from beta Israel most Christian denominations and traditions may accept the books of Enoch as having some historical or theological interest or significance it has been observed that part of the Book of Enoch is quoted in the Epistle of Jude part of the New Testament but Christian denominations generally regard the books of enoch as non canonical or non inspired however the Enoch books are treated as canonical by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church in Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church the older sections mainly in the book of the Watchers are estimated to date from about 300 BCE and the latest part book of parables probably was composed at the end of the 1st century BCE topic denominational views of pseudepigrapha there arose in some Protestant biblical scholarship and extended use of the term pseudepigrapha for works that appeared as though they ought to be part of the biblical canon because of the authorship ascribed to them but which stood outside both the biblical canons recognized by Protestants and Catholics these works were also outside the particular set of books that roman catholics called deuterocanonical into which protestants had generally applied the term apocryphal accordingly the term pseudo graphical has now used often among both Protestants and Roman Catholics allegedly for the clarity it brings to the discussion may make it difficult to discuss questions of pseudo graphical authorship of canonical books dispassionately with a lay audience to confuse the matter even more eastern orthodox christians accept books as canonical that roman catholics and most protestant denominations consider sued epigraphic allure at best of much less authority there exists also churches that reject some of the books that Roman Catholics Orthodox and Protestants accept the same is true of some Jewish sects many works that are apocryphal are otherwise considered genuine topic role of the Old Testament in Christian theology the Old Testament has always been central to the life of the Christian Church Bible scholar NT Wright says Jesus himself was profoundly shaped by the Scriptures he adds that the earliest Christians also search those same Hebrew Scriptures in their effort to understand the earthly life of Jesus they regarded the holy writings of the Israelites as necessary and instructive for the Christian as seen from Paul's words to Timothy 2nd Timothy chapter 3 verse 15 and is pointing to the Messiah and as having reached a climactic fulfillment in Jesus himself generating the New Covenant prophesied by Jeremiah topic New Testament the New Testament is the name given to the second and final portion of the Christian Bible Jesus as its central figure the term New Testament came into use in the second century during a controversy among Christians over whether or not the Hebrew Bible should be included with the Christian writings as Sacred Scripture the New Testament presupposes the inspiration of the Old Testament some other works which were widely read by early churches were excluded from the New Testament and relegated to the collections known as the Apostolic fathers generally considered Orthodox and the New Testament Apocrypha including both orthodox and heretical works the New Testament is a collection of twenty-seven books of four different genres of Christian literature Gospels one account of the Acts of the Apostles epistles in an apocalypse these books can be grouped into the New Testament books are ordered differently in the Catholic Orthodox Protestant tradition the Slavonic tradition the Syriac tradition in the ethiopian tradition topic original language the mainstream consensus is that the New Testament was written in a form of coin Greek which was the common language of the eastern Mediterranean from the conquests of Alexander the Great 335 to 323 BCE until the evolution of Byzantine Greeks II 600 topic historic additions the original autographs that is the original Greek writings and manuscripts written by the original authors of the New Testament have not survived but historically copies exist of those original autographs transmitted and preserved in a number of manuscript traditions there have been some minor variations additions or omissions in some of the texts when ancient scribes copied earlier books they sometimes wrote notes on the margins of the page marginal glosses to correct their text especially if a scribe accidentally omitted a word or line and to comment about the text when later scribes were copying the copy they were sometimes uncertain if a note was intended to be included as part of the text the three main textual traditions of the Greek New Testament are sometimes called the Alexandrian text type generally minimalist the Byzantine text type generally maximalist and the Western text type occasionally wild together they comprise most of the ancient manuscripts topic development of the Christian canons the Old Testament Canon entered into Christian use in the Greek Septuagint translations and original books and their differing lists of texts in addition to the Septuagint Christianity subsequently added various writings that would become the New Testament somewhat different lists of accepted works continued to develop in antiquity in the 4th century a series of synod's produced a list of texts equal to the 39 4651 or 54 book Canon of the Old Testament into the 27 book Canon of the New Testament that would be subsequently used to today most notably the Synod of Hippo in 393 C II also see 400 Jerome produced a definitive Latin edition of the Bible si Vulgate the Canon of which at the insistence of the Pope was in accord with the earlier sentence with the benefit of hindsight it can be said that this process effectively set the New Testament canon although there are examples of other canonical lists in use after this time the Protestant Old Testament of today has a 39 book Canon the number of books though not the content varies from the Jewish Tanakh only because of a different method of division while the Roman Catholic Church recognizes 46 books 51 books with some books combined into 46 books as the canonical Old Testament the Eastern Orthodox churches recognized three Maccabees one Esdras prayer of Manasseh and some chapter 151 in addition to the Catholic canon some include 2 Esdras the Anglican Church also recognizes a longer Canon the term Hebrew Scriptures is often used as being synonymous with the Protestant Old Testament since the surviving scriptures in Hebrew include only those books while Catholics and Orthodox include additional texts that have not survived in Hebrew both Catholics and Protestants as well as Greek Orthodox have the same 27 book New Testament Canon the New Testament writers assumed the inspiration of the Old Testament probably earliest stated in 2nd Timothy chapter 3 verse 16 all Scripture is given by inspiration of God topic Ethiopian Orthodox Canon the Canon of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church is wider than the canons used by most other Christian churches there are 81 books in the ethiopian orthodox bible the ethiopian Old Testament Canon includes the books found in the Septuagint accepted by other Orthodox Christians in addition to Enoch and Jubilees which are ancient Jewish books that only survived in diese but are quoted in the New Testament also Greek Ezra first in the apocalypse of Ezra three books of McKean and Psalm chapter 151 at the end of the Psalter the three books of mecklen are not to be confused with the books of Maccabees the order of the other books is somewhat different from other groups as well the Old Testament follows the Septuagint order for the Minor Prophets rather than the Jewish order topic divine inspiration the second epistle to Timothy says that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine for reproof for correction for instruction in righteousness 2nd Timothy chapter 3 verse 16 various related but distinguishable views on divine inspiration include the view of the Bible is the inspired Word of God the belief that God through the Holy Spirit intervened and influenced the words message and collation of the Bible the view that the Bible is also infallible and incapable of error in matters of faith and practice but not necessarily in historic or scientific matters the view that the Bible represents the inerrant Word of God without error in any aspect spoken by God and written down in its perfect form by humans within these broad beliefs many schools of hermeneutics operate Bible scholars claim that discussions about the Bible must be put into its context within church history and then into the context of contemporary culture fundamentalist Christians are associated with the doctrine of biblical literalism where the Bible is not only inerrant but the meaning of the text is clear to the average reader Jewish antiquity attests to belief in sacred texts and a similar belief emerges in the earliest of Christian writings various texts of the Bible mentioned divine agency in relation to its writings in their book a general introduction to the Bible Norman Geisler and William Nix write the process of inspiration as a mystery of the Providence of God but the result of this process as a verbal plenary inerrant and authoritative record most evangelical biblical scholars associate inspiration with only the original text for example some American Protestants adhere to the 1978 Chicago statement on biblical inerrancy which asserted that inspiration applied only to the autographic text of Scripture among adherents of biblical literalism a minority such as followers of the King James only movement extend the claim of inerrancy only to a particular translation topic versions and translations the original texts of the Tanakh were mainly in hebrew with some portions in aramaic in addition to the authoritative Masoretic text jews still refer to the Septuagint the translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek and the targum onkelos and aramaic version of the Bible there are several different ancient versions of the Tanakh in Hebrew mostly differing by spelling and the traditional Jewish version is based on the version known as aleppo codex even in this version there are words which are traditionally read differently from written because the oral tradition is considered more fundamental than the written one and presumably mistakes had been made in copying the text over the generations the primary biblical text for early Christians was the Septuagint in addition they translated the Hebrew Bible into several other languages translations were made into Syriac Coptic at the OP ik and Latin among other languages the Latin translations were historically the most important for the church in the West while the Greek speaking East continued to use the Septuagint translations of the Old Testament and had no need to translate the New Testament the earliest Latin translation was the old Latin text or Vedas latina which from internal evidence seems to have been made by several authors over a period of time it was based on the Septuagint and thus included books not in the Hebrew Bible according to the Latin decretum July shanem also known as the Jill Asian decree thought to be of a 6th century document of uncertain authorship and of pseudepigrapha papal Authority variously ascribed to Pope Gelasius the first Pope Damasus the first or Pope armistice but reflecting the views of the Roman Church by that period the council of Rome in 382 AD under Pope Damasus the first 366 to 383 assembled a list of books of the Bible Damasus Commission Saint Jerome to produce a reliable and consistent text by translating the original Greek and Hebrew texts into Latin this translation became known as the Latin Vulgate Bible in the 4th century AD although Jerome expressed in his prologues to most deuterocanonical books that they were non canonical in 1546 at the Council of Trent Jerome's Vulgate translation was declared by the Roman Catholic Church to be the only authentic and official Bible in the Latin Church since the Protestant Reformation Bible translations for many languages have been made the Bible continues to be translated to new languages largely by Christian organizations such as Wickliffe Bible Translators new tribes mission and Bible societies topic views John riches professor of divinity and biblical criticism at the University of Glasgow provides the following view of the diverse historical influences of the Bible it has inspired some of the great monuments of human thought literature and art it has equally fueled some of the worst excesses of human savagery self-interest and narrow mindedness it has inspired men and women to acts of great service encouraged to fight for liberation and human development and it has provided the ideological fuel for societies which have enslaved their fellow human beings and reduced them to abject poverty it has perhaps above all provided a source of religious and moral norms which have enabled communities to hold together to care for and to protect one another yet precisely this strong sense of belonging has in turn fueled ethnic racial and international tension and conflict topic other religions in Islam the Bible is held to reflect true unfolding revelation from God but revelation which had been corrupted or distorted in Arabic tariffs which necessitated the giving of the Quran to the Islamic prophet Muhammad to correct this deviation members of other religions may also seek inspiration from the Bible for example Rastafari view the Bible is essential to their religion and Unitarian Universalists view it as one of many important religious texts topic biblical studies biblical criticism refers to the investigation of the Bible as a text and addresses questions such as authorship dates of composition and authorial intention it is not the same as criticism of the Bible which is an assertion against the Bible being a source of information or ethical guidance or observations that the Bible may have translation errors topic higher criticism in the 17th century Thomas Hobbes collected the current evidence to conclude outright that Moses could not have written the bulk of the Torah shortly afterwards the philosopher Baruch Spinoza published a unified critical analysis arguing that the problematic passages were not isolated cases that could be explained away one by one but pervasive throughout the five books concluding that it was clearer than the Sun at noon that the Pentateuch was not written by Moses topic archaeological and historical research Biblical Archaeology is the archaeology that relates to and sheds light upon the Hebrew Scriptures and the Christian Greek scriptures or the New Testament it is used to help determine the lifestyle and practices of people living in biblical times there are a wide range of interpretations in the field of biblical archaeology one broad division includes biblical maximalism which generally takes the view that most of the Old Testament or the Hebrew Bible is based on history although it is presented through the religious viewpoint of its time it is considered to be the opposite of biblical minimalism which considers the Bible to be a purely post-exilic 5th century BCE in later composition even among those scholars who adhere to biblical minimalism the Bible is a historical document containing first-hand information on the Hellenistic and Roman eras and there is universal scholarly consensus that the events of the sixth century BCE Babylonian captivity have a basis in history the historic city of the biblical account of the history of ancient Israel and Judah of the 10th to 7th centuries BCE as disputed in scholarship the biblical account of the 8th to 7th centuries BCE is widely but not universally accepted as historical while the verdict on the earliest period of the United Monarchy 10th century BCE and the historic City of David is unclear archaeological evidence providing information on this period such as the Tel Dan stele can potentially be decisive the biblical account of events of the exodus from Egypt in the Torah and the migration to the promised land and the period of judges are not considered historical and scholarship topic Bible museums the Durham Bible Museum is located in Houston Texas it is known for its collection of rare Bibles from around the world and for having many different Bibles of various languages the Museum of the Bible opened in Washington DC on December 1st 2017 it was built for all guests to understand and appreciate the existence of the Bible furthermore the museum seeks to disperse historical information regarding the Bible as well as portray the significance of the Bible in a neutral way topic image gallery Bibles topic illustrations most old Bibles were illuminated they were manuscripts in which the text is supplemented by the addition of decoration such as decorated initials borders marginalia and miniature illustrations up to the 12th century most manuscripts were produced in monasteries in order to add to the library or after receiving a commission from a wealthy patron larger monasteries often contained separate areas for the monks who specialized in the production of manuscripts called a scriptorium where separate little rooms were assigned to book copying they were situated in such a way that each scribe had to himself a window open to the cloister walk by the 14th century the cloisters of monks riding in the scriptorium started to employ lay brothers from the urban script Oriya especially in Paris Rome in the Netherlands demand for manuscripts grew to an extent that the monastic libraries were unable to meet with the demand and began employing secular scribes and illuminators these individuals often lived close to the monastery n' in certain instances dressed as monks whenever they entered the monastery but were allowed to leave at the end of the day the manuscript was sent to the rubric later who added in red or other colours the titles headlines the initials of chapters and sections the notes and so on and then if the book was to be Illustrated it was sent to the illuminator in the case of manuscripts that were sold commercially the writing would undoubtedly have been discussed initially between the patron and the scribe or the scribes agent but by the time that the written gathering were sent off to the illuminator there was no longer any scope for innovation Bible illustrations topic see also Bible portal Bible box Bible case Bible

French Game Of Petanque (Boules)
well welcome back to nice and here we are in place masséna which is like a Plaza if you like a public space and the buildings are painted in all coordinated with this red ochre color some are a little bit faded some about a recent paint job and along with the statues we have to the left of camera there are fountains and gardens and this vehicle is a great way to get around if your legs aren't up to a lot of the walking although nice is very flats a very pleasant place to walk but not everybody has good knees and legs here we are and what we're really here to talk about is pataga which is a game with the metal balls and a synthetic or wooden jack or we'll call it the Jack the small ball the put talk show and the women have the ladies have a space you can see the parasailing in the background the ladies have an allocated space on the promenade which is normally free to runs where I do my morning run or go for a swim in the mid and here's one of our cutest spectators I just had to have a closer look and she looked so relaxed in her chair watching your mother play and let's have a close look at the ground on which this is played it can't be played on sand gravel allows a little bit more mobility the ball can roll more although it's quite rough and you can see the closeup of her Jackie they're measuring the distance at the end of a game from the jack as to which team has the most balls closest and therefore the score he's a shot that may be intentional and very good if it is she's managed to dislodge the jack completely from the game because once it touches the wood at the end it's out of the game so that might have been intentional there are Wikipedia for all of this this lady is not disturbed by the sound of the horn and doesn't excellent well right up alongside the jack which is difficult to do and that's the reason for the horn traffic issue here's the sand that rises as the ball comes in knocking our position ball out of the way which we'll talk about later and here's a the only competitor I saw who used who rubbed a hand in that too before she actually did her underarm traditional pétanque Bowl and it's a good one see the beautiful Mediterranean in the background there's a offensive shot knocking the opposition balls out of place and a discussion about that could be the very end of the game that particular one there are most of these were there all threesomes which meant that each player has two balls so in a threesome two balls each and what a great shot and the official magazine and we're going to watch the men now playing in the gardens of nice the beautiful gardens very green and here's a man who's being instructed by the other two members of his team as to what to do with his ball and the ball closest to his shoes as an opposition from the other team so his instructions are to knock the ball out and they're telling him how to do that he's saying are you sure that'll work and they're saying yeah the big fellas saying look you know I'm bigger than you don't argue with me trust me I know what online what I'm saying in there and I have total confidence in your ability so do it and here he goes he prefers to do it all these launches and action perfect shot I mean it really has played that well I don't know what the final score was notice the big fella uses a magnet to pick up his ball his bending is a little difficult for him but now we have a close-up look at the balls without the players to watch the point of that the guys who there are specialists in this within the team there are those who specialized in pointing that is placing the ball like that closest to the jail there are those who specialized in shooting as in knocking the opposition ball away from the jack and ideally placing their ball close if they can so here is a shooter not in a ball out and their accuracy is phenomenal there's no editing in this this is all on current shots so there's a closeup point a shot very close nice position and the next player says well no that's got a go but this is what can happen he knocks the opposition ball away but it's he's the once the ball that he's used has touched the wood the outside plank it is out of the game so the opposition was closed that ball could be as close and the instructions for the next bowler is to knock that ball away so the shooter has to and will successfully do this and also put his ball it's all about trajectory and speed and accuracy but his ball equally close for possibly closer to the jerk a lot of skills approximately 6 meters from the jack six to ten is the the international rule by the look of it these were about six meters away or 20 feet if you like in if you're not metric and that one's closer sure but what about knocking that one out without knocking the same team ball out so this is a really tricky shot and done perfectly so the person who shot that ball did not knock his own team ball out of the way which is a great skill and so what will the next player do no not particularly not a scoring ball and that one is woodshop his advantage get a bowl both his balls consecutively which is not necessarily the rule you can do one ball and then P and then hold one in reserve but he wants to move that opposition ball and he does it reasonably well on his second shot now let's look at throwing or bowling techniques it seems like a throw but it's its underarm that's the rule looking at it from his left looking at it from his right and looking at it now from his left first to do it down below this man prefers to lean forward and use the full length of the arm to get the Boras closest to the jack before he releases nice easy flick of the wrist and again zoom on now we're in the stadium about a thousand spectators and some applause that was a shooter not being an opposition bewailed away as a pointer who knocks that Jack and brings his ball very close gets a good applause for that because this is a local one of these two teams as a local team local as in the southeast of France and Provence helped Maritim here we go he's a shooter he wants to knock that ball further away from the jack it takes a long walk wind-up and direct hit but not very far he hasn't knocked it very far away so and his ball is completely out of the game this man tries the same not a different level out of the game [Applause] but this man portable pointer she's gonna place it pisces bull clutch the check can he do it can he what very good from here even it's easy to say that is very close to the chair and he gets him put applause for that so that game is almost finished and you can say now that they pick up the ring they must stand inside that circle and as we're getting towards the end of the video which is covered various aspects of the tank John will see them stepping into position for the next game and then move on to the end of that game where they've completed that the set if you like just a close-up of the sign which shows there's an international school for photography and it's quite popular in Spain as well there are 17 million French choirs but they don't but it will play regularly in maestro amateur they're all shaking hands at the end saying okay you won or we won congratulations some shake hands somebody to pick on the cheek depending on aftershaves smell of sweat or how well you know the other plan and essentially that's it and thanks for watching I hope you enjoyed it we'll leave you with the announcer catch you next time [Music]

Art, bureaucracy and hope of resistance | Lecture by Vid Simoniti
foreign assistant curator here at the Museum and I'm very happy to welcome you for with simonetti's lecture um which is titled art bureaucracy and resistance and which is part of the public program Associated um with sundio's exhibition which is entitled Civic floor and still on view in the Pavilion here at modem it's an exhibition that considers how ideology applies to design and architecture and especially in the case of carceral spaces and bureaucracy bureaucratic systems so with the lecture is very much gonna draw on song's work and I invite you to visit the exhibition if you haven't done so yet because I think it will give you a very interesting highlight on sung Chu's practice uh just a few words about vids um bio um so avitsimoniti is a lecturer in philosophy of art at the University of Liverpool where he's also running the ma program in art philosophy and cultural institutions in 2021 he was selected as the BBC New Generation thinker and he has also been hosting the art against the world podcasts in collaboration with the Liverpool biennial his book art against the world in this investigating the place of Contemporary Art within Democratic public sphere is forthcoming with Yale University press in 2023 so now I leave the floor to you right thank you [Applause] there we go I'll try again thank you so much Clementine for this really kind introduction thank you all uh for coming especially on uh wintry Sunday like this where you might want to prefer to stay indoors and watch Netflix or something like this so yes thank you very much and I'll I'll conduct this talk in English I mean my German is sort of passable my French I can sort of say ladicion in a restaurant and my luxembourgish is non-existent so uh thank you so much for bearing with me in in English so I'll begin with a little anecdote when we speak about bureaucracy and bureaucratic reason and this was a couple of years ago when I gave a talk not unlike this one at the University of Padova in Italy which is a beautiful beautiful town which I completely recommend going to visit and after I gave my talk you know I think it was about art and politics that's kind of my shtick it's kind of what I talk about after I gave my talk I needed to get my flights reimbursed you know I flew with EasyJet from uh London I think to Venice and I said you know that would be great to get some money back for the flights and they said oh yes of course but we need your boarding pass and I said um well I have the receipt I have the receipt that I used to pay for my flight but I don't have the boarding pass because the boarding pass was on my app on my phone and I said uh you know dear Dr simunity that's wonderful that you have the receipt but we really need the boarding pass because that's the rules you need the boarding pass no boarding pass no reimbursement and I said but uh why do you need the boarding pass and they said well we needed to prove that you were here and I said but I was there I mean you saw me I was literally there giving this talk and I said yes but um that doesn't count as proof what counts as proof is the boarding pass and so I sort of thought about it and I said um okay well here's the boarding pass and I just sent them the boarding pass and they said thank you very much and they paid me the money but if you look very carefully on this boarding pass you see that on the 12th of January and the 15th of January when I flew if you look very very carefully you see that Saturday 12th of January is a little bit smaller than Tuesday the 15th of January and that's because I actually forged this bowling pass I didn't have the boarding pass so I printed off an old boarding pass and I scanned it and I went into Photoshop and I sort of moved things around and I sent this off um please don't share this with University of Padova or Italy in general because you know I might get arrested next time I'm there um but I like to bring this up because I think it's an example of something that we might call the bureaucratic moment so this is a moment where we encounter a bureaucratic system which is eminently reasonable and we think to ourselves this was something that was created by human Minds this bureaucratic system in order to make our life a lot easier but then will the system completely lacks is a different kind of reason it lacks a certain kind of thoughtfulness right it lacks the kind of everyday Common Sense reason that we recognize in other humans and sometimes this manifests itself in what we might call to completely first world problems right a lecturer from Liverpool getting somewhere on EasyJet and getting 200 Euros back I mean you know it's not a big deal it was very annoying but uh it's not a life or death situation um and sometimes we encounter these bureaucratic moments in this very everyday scenarios you know when you need a form from the city council or when that computer image is asking you to confirm that you're not a robot and you're clicking on different traffic lights to prove to a robot that you're not a robot um but in other situations it can of course be a life and death kind of scenario if you're applying for Asylum or if you are applying against deportation or perhaps if you're trying to prove in the court of law that you're innocent of a crime that you didn't commit these kind of bureaucratic moments this realization that there is a whole entirely rational system which nevertheless cannot speak to you as a human is a difficult and a threatening one indeed foreign now this bureaucratic moment I think this realization with a system of Reason greater than ourselves is Central to Seung tu's work especially this exhibition that you can see here at mudum so I'll just talk a little bit about the exhibition because perhaps not everyone has seen it but what you see on the first floor as you enter the Pavilion are these uh kind of minimalistic sculptures made out of metal made out of steel and what they have inside is Earth piled up and these uh sculptures when you look at them at first time they might look like something that's come out of a spaceship Enterprise or something like that they have this kind of minimalist cool Beauty about them but when you read up about them and perhaps explore them you see that the little spaces little enclosures inside are actually uh plans they're kind of chlorises or floor plans of Prisons of different prisons that song 2 has explored in her research practice so uh some of them perhaps the most famous design of a prison is the 19th century radial design which philosophers like Jeremy Bentham are there and later more critically Michelle Foucault talked about as the panopticon so what whoops sorry just it's just a water bottle um so what you have here in the middle so you can see the same panoptic converter top right what you have in the middle is a tower and inside the tower you have a guard who can survey like the entire prison which is then spreading out like rays and the idea of the panoptic on a very well known idea of the panopticon is that at any point it's not the point that you can be surveyed from the tower but at no point are you sure whether there's someone in the tower or not and so there you're always possibly being observed by someone um so this is a very famous example of prison architecture which has been discussed a lot in 20th century philosophy but uh sunk to then discusses or rather performs other prison architecture as it develops Through the Ages and I'll just show you the very final sculpture which you can see there which is a kind of a strange irregular triangular sculpture structure where the one of the points of it seems to be that it allows a different kind of surveillance it has these acute angles which are apparently easier to monitor by cameras and the same kind of like acute angles also make it more difficult for a human to orient himself or herself in space now prison architecture is perhaps the most bureaucratic kind of architecture there is because here a certain kind of ordering reason is ordering not just a way to live but every single aspect of your life right how you live how you sleep how you exercise how you eat but that's not the only kind of bureaucratic element in sunk Till's exhibition so on the same floor going around you see these uh forms these kind of white Plaster plaster of Paris I think or plaster cost forms which have these like little squares and little lines and little boxes inside of them and what they really are is um well it is forms but that is to say what in German you might call formula or formula in French so there are forms that you're supposed to fill out and the ones that song Tu has taken are forms that are um used to make an asylum uh Asylum application or other applications to do with Asylum status like to get your family reunited or to waive certain criminal checks when you do your Asylum application um so you know you really I think with the kind of precision and formality that is so typical of some juice practice you have here this sense once you realize this that here are these squares and the entirety of a complex human life is supposed to be poured into these forms but the bit that I find like perhaps the most moving or the kind of like the cleverest in this exhibition are these like little plaques that you see here on the left and these are the ones that really connect the two works so you can see here it says things like bars uh one a and one B uh then blocks then boxes themselves then lines and when you're first looking at this you kind of think oh blocks sells lines she's talking about aspects of prison architecture but actually what she's talking about is the square millimeter space that you have to write down your life story when you make your Asylum application right so something that initially I think when you walk into the room into this like beautiful sunlit mood on Pavilion something that initially looks like a piece of minimalist design you know something that um you know a person who's way too rich to shop in Ikea would buy even though you know their static is similarly kind of minimalist um actually turns out to have like a much more Sinister message and uh a much more acute commentary on particularly Asylum Seeker application situation something that we might speculate also derives from tsungtu's personal biography so as I think you might know from the artist talk that she gave here she is a German citizen who emigrated to Germany uh from Vietnam in the 90s her father was a contract worker and she has personal experience as a child of the tension of us of citizenship and a permit of residence applications so you know it's something that derives from her personal experience as well now next what I'd like to do is actually to think a little bit about this in like the broader kind of context of thinking about bureaucracy through ART like why is bureaucracy like such a kind of like such a dry topic right what role does it play in art now if we just look sort of at literature let's say then I think it is a distinctly modern subject so even though all civilizations right going right back if you like to the Sumerians have had forms of democracy sorry had not democracy have had forms of bureaucracy um bureaucracy as a subject for literature or as a theme in art is definitely something that arises I think perhaps one of you will correct me but I think arises with the 19th century now initially I think a lot of it has to do with a kind of a forms of satire so you might know the great Ukrainian Russian writer Nikolai goggle and his various Tales of bureaucratic life in the Overcoat in the nose or in this marvelous play the government respect Specter or revisor in Russian where an important well what seems like an important important government inspector comes to a little Russian village and all the bureaucrats you know the mayor the inspector of Charities oh the judge they're all kind of like scattered to hide little Corruptions that have been going on in small town Russia or you might think even let's say of Alice in Wonderland so you might remember there's a scene in Alice in Wonderland where she stands accused before the court of the heart of the queen and king of hearts and she is in this courtroom and she's growing larger and larger and kind of like filling out this courtroom and at some point she topples over this box in which the jury is sitting you know this typical surrealist situation and the King of Hearts turns to her and says everyone who is over eight foot tall you know who's over three meters tall has to exit the courtroom now and she says well um you know who says so and he says uh it's rule number 43 it's the oldest rule in the book and she says well if it's the oldest rule in the book then why is it not rule number one why is it rule number 43 you know so it's this kind of taking the Mickey making fun of bureaucracy which is I think a feature of someone like like Lewis Carroll in Alice in Wonderland but it's really then with the 20th century when we get a bureaucracy to possess this kind of demonic theme where bureaucracy becomes conceptualized as one of the main enemies if you like of individual agency of human subjectivity and there's no one who does that more canonically than of course Franz Kafka with his uh the trial their possess and his the castle the Schloss in for example in the trial we have Josef Carr a middling bank manager who suddenly finds himself accused of something he never finds out what he is being accused of he is being tried he's being pushed back and forth by this Anonymous bureaucracy he has no idea what's happening and in the end he's being he's LED off and killed with a kitchen knife industrial assets of the classroom at the end but there's a similar bureaucratic thing at plays so here I think we really get this idea of modern bureaucracy as something bad in art right where the main enemy of the protagonist is not an evil antagonist right it's not the queen of the night or you know some some kind of evil person the antagonist is not a person it's a reason but it's not a person it's a kind of a nameless system that we have ourselves created and you find this theme in different ways I think in countless works in the later 20th century you know you might mention 1984 which creates which is about bureaucracy from a specifically totalitarian lens um even in some comedies I'm not going to go into more detail but I'll just mention maybe a kind of a problem that emerges in contemporary literature which is a sort of division between those who talk about the bureaucrat and you might think of someone like Kazu ishiguru Pro with the remains of the day where you have a butler who obeys who does everything that he is told um you know and then it turns out that his employer is Nazi and so forth but or you might think of something like the film the lives of others which is also about uh spy in the German stazi in East Germany right so those work which think about well how does the bureaucrat think who is this you know gray presence whose science forms and uh you know as the tool of bureaucracy and on the other hand you have those who focus on the victims of bureaucracy and I will just mention here a very recent film from last year actually Limbo by Ben sharack which is a I think a very brilliant film about uh Syrian Asylum Seeker in Scotland you know in the kind of situation that he undergoes so you can either look at the problem of bureaucracy from the point of view of the bureaucrat or from the user if you like but both of these in 20th century paint quite a grim picture okay let's look into a little bit more detail just because I really love Kafka but like let's have a little bit more detail in a few passages from their process and just compare that for fun with song tu's work and see what we can get out of it so um yosefka is in his room he gets accosted by these uniformed policeman and he describes one of these policemen or officials who's arresting him he was slim but firmly built his clothes were black and close fitting with many folds and Pockets buckles and buttons and a belt all of which gave the impression of being very practical but without making it very clear what they were actually for so you have this person dressed up in a way that looks like really practical and useful you know that's how I think of people who go camping um but you know someone who has all these buckles and all of these things and so it makes you think well the point of bureaucracy is often to make you think that everything has been thought through that everything is really useful and just the same you might think of sung tu's form right everything is really ordered there's you know some some um columns on the left or some rows on the right there are some boxes to take like it's all perfectly fitting and you're supposed to put your whole life in here right so the first point of this comparison is bureaucracy appears useful or projects this kind of appearance of usefulness then he says when these people are arresting him he says Joseph Khan what sort of people were these what were they talking about what office did they belong to Carl was living in a free country after all everywhere was at peace laws laws were decent and were upheld who were these to accost him in his own home so bureaucracy only appears to us as a problem when we ourselves are threatened right most of the time things go pretty smoothly right you get reimbursed for your flights you click on those traffic cones in the in the sort of thing that computer wants you to click on so most of the time bureaucracy seems fine but it's when it's directed against you that you start noticing its cruelty and finally I really like this passage uh so he's still being arrested this is all from chapter one they're talking about things of which they don't have the slightest understanding anyway it's only because of their stupidity that they are able to be so sure of themselves I just need a few words with someone of the same social standing as myself and everything will be comparably clearer much clearer than a conversation with these two can make it so yosefka who is a bank official thinks to himself these lowly you know working-class policeman they don't really know what they're doing I need to talk to someone like myself you know and so all the kind of social distinctions that we think are neutralized by bureaucracy are actually emphasized by bureaucracy right when you're faced with a bureaucratic problem you ask yourself do I maybe know someone who works in Parliament do I maybe know someone who's a lawyer do I maybe know you know someone who can help me I a respectable middle class person with connections can surely overcome this problem right so bureaucracy even though it appears neutral here as it does in sunk Till's exhibition actually emphasizes the differences that already exist between us okay so here's so we've said a few things about how bureaucracy appears in 20th century European art and how it might carry over into sunk 2's arresting works but of course tsungtu's work is not a novel right it deals with these questions in a very different way from a Kafka novel or a film so what is gained or let's put it differently what is different when we approach these things through ART right why are we going to museums to talk about bureaucracy or about politics or about you know anything at all if you like what is it about art visual art that kind of helps us to have a way into this question now that's a huge question right which uh you know maybe Clementine will will tell us more about or um but uh it's yeah it's something that I think everyone working with the Arts is wondering about but what I would like to do now is just to sort of place uh work a little bit in the recent history of Art and to think about where her idiom comes from why is she making the forms in the way that she makes them so I don't think that a practice like hers would be possible of course had we not had the history of what is sometimes very broadly and very contentiously called called post-modernism or movements after first modernism and more precisely perhaps conceptual art so let me give an example from United States where a lot of this kind of conceptual work sort of germinated in the 1960s so okay let's think about actually one step back let's think about say Jackson Pollock right the abstract expression is the abstract shapes on the walls in the 1950s so if you like very very simplified but let's say uh 1950s you know Jackson Pollock's there in New York everyone's thinking about art as the expression of your innermost being which you uh viscerally Express by putting it out onto the canvas by splattering it out in some way now you know there's a lot of art historical debate about this but let's just take this as a simplification because simplifications are sometimes useful now what then happens with the Next Generation that partly in country distinction partly in trying to differentiate themselves from this unbridled expression what they do at least some of them is to go into purer forms of extraction abstraction which appears to be ruled by an impartial non-human in some way reason so let's think for example about solid width um one of the artists of 1960s conceptualism uh and a work like his serial project so often these artists would work in series and here you see on the left hand side his Preparatory sketch right I mean these don't look unlike sung tu's work in some way so um each of these is supposed to be a kind of a permutation of another form so you have a square with no Square inside a square with little square inside a big you know sorry a cube with a rectangular shape inside you can kind of see a logic right when you look at these but what is the logic right there is there is no pre-ordained reason why this should be the way it is it is pure it is a very pure art it's a very pure joy it is a joy which you're supposed to feel purely by the ability of witnessing how another mind has formed these things into a kind of like a rational sequence lewitt himself thought that his art should give an impression of listening to Bach or someone like this right there's no emotion here it is Art of pure permutation of pure reason another artist who worked in this in this manner and who I think Bears even closer relation to song to's Work is the American Artist Adrian Piper so here is a very uh early work this is actually a picture I took in in the in her archives so this is a very early work by Piper which is still I think clearly influenced by Louis and we have like similar kind of permutations of shapes happening but the reason why Piper is interesting is that she later much like sung too um takes this formal language this cruel beauty of minimalism and applies it to more political issues so here for example Piper exhibited these questionnaires questionnaires which are a little bit like forms like the formula formulatum that uh two also exhibits and what you can see here is for example on the right hand well on left hand side a question do you have at least one black colleague at your place of employment if yes in what Manner do you socialize in the workplace a one-on-one dinner business lunch coffee break office party Gathering none of the above have you ever had sexual relations with a black person if yes what social events did you attend together family reunions dinners Etc with close friends job related dinners parties or outings dinners Etc with acquaintances outside entertainment movies Sports Etc none of the above so there is a kind of a you know Piper herself is here using a very bureaucratic language to kind of poke quite an uncomfortable bone in 1980s New York art World which you might say like you know outwardly was very um probably very liberal very civil but within which she herself as an African-American still noticed various you know problems with racism and various kind of structural injustices if you like but I don't want to talk so much about the American context specifically right but like the form right so here is the very cool cruel impersonal address of the formula which is now being used to ask you something really personal and to actually get you to think about to what extent do you live by your morals and I think that what perhaps Piper is trying to show her audience is that actually all of these nice people who are going or many of these nice people or nice people like us who are going to um you know art events in New York or somewhere else and who are living very respectable lives are actually kind of ticking boxes it's like uh do I have a few diverse friends tick do I do a little bit of Charity tick do I am I a good and upstanding citizen tick right so you tick these boxes and you convince yourself that you're a good person let's say um now okay it's it's not a you know it's not an easy work it's not a friendly work if you like but um yeah it's uh it's certainly a bit like kind of politically uh damning um maybe I'll just uh yeah I'll talk a bit about this is a bit of a difficult one but um what we get to I think like with a lot of these works is not just the form of bureaucracy in the end but a certain kind of psychology of bureaucracy right like it's actually very hard I think for us as human beings to get out of our habits right we're constantly taking boxes where you know it would be too much to ask us to be constantly creative let's say but as uh most famously Hannah Arendt has noted in her report on the iPhone trial in Israel right that is precisely the certain kind of mentality to leads to what she has called so influentially banality of evil I'm not going to read out these uh long extracts but the basic point that Iman wants to oh sorry that aren't wants to make about aichmann is this when you are in a position of power where evil comes from or with great transgression comes from is not from um people having this demonic evil uh desires to kind of destroy others necessarily where it comes from is from Simply following rules right from Simply following rules from applying what has been given to you from above and uh then not necessarily questioning it now we can talk a bit more in the Q a if you like about you know the kind of disputes around our in RN scholarship about uh what exactly she she meant but the I think the key takeaway Point here is this just as bureaucracy makes us uh into just as when we are faced with a bureaucratic moment and we bemoan the situation that we are kind of like victims of bureaucracy more often than not we are proceeding ourselves in much the same manner right we follow these rules we apply them and so the great kind of moral quality which is being sought in the 20th century is not the ability necessarily to follow rule rules but what Aaron said aichmann the great Nazi bureaucrat lacked so he says she says here it was not stupidity that he had but a curious quite authentic inability to think what Eichmann lacked was what aren't Cool's thought it's I mean it's a very curious it's a very philosophical formulation but what I think she means is that in every step where you are required to follow a rule you're faced with the option of following it of executing the rule or of thinking and by thinking I think what she means is constantly questioning but can we constantly question so I'd like to before we kind of move into the Q a actually talk about another of song 2's works also so that you get like a sense a little bit of of her other work so as I said before her work as we saw there is very austere right it's very impersonal there's almost like no remnants of humanity inside but sometimes you you do get a glimpse of humanity in her work and for example in this work tsuktsvank which was shown at house de kunst in Munich two years ago and here we have an office I also thought I would talk about this because we're in Luxembourg and it's quite close to the European Union and I think there are some interesting connections so um here we have an office of a fictional European bureaucrat called Alfred Stevens who has worked in various different uh uptime and various different uh offices of the European Union he's Irish and we only learn about him really by walking around the space and by finding different aspects of it and so okay we see the office then here you see in the middle picture his desk he has like a funny shark mug he has a newspaper he has some pictures we see that on the pictures he has a Vietnamese family so he has a Vietnamese wife and a child this is actually a picture of song too's Mother herself and then there's like a kind of like an article here an article in a local newspapers which sings the Praises of the local Bureau of the bureaucrat and it sort of says you know we always talk about politicians but what about all the wonderful people who wore who work in bureaucracy and uh he uh says for example he's quoted in this newspaper as saying quote it is instrumental that we make Humane decisions he says he often worked as a caseworker for refugees but sadly our boat Can Only Hold so many Steven's own family has a long history of immigration as so many Irish families do and so forth now in another bit he says now that Stephen's Stellar career is coming to a successful close he is most looking forward to spending more time with his four grandchildren the auras in Brussels can be grueling we work until 9 pm every night even Fridays he says refuting the often raise accusation of civil servants Dolce Vita so I think what I really like about song 2's work is that she's not you know hitting you over the head with a hammer of political convictions we have we have here like a really quite a specific case of someone who really does seem to have led you know like a good life according to their morals and probably did a lot of good in some way but what sort of seeps through the cracks which is sort of start noticing is like oh my god there are like all of these cases all of these lives that this person had in his hands um all of these let's say Asylum applications which a stroke of hispan could throw out of the window or uh have accepted so again we're faced I think with this key aspect of of modernity this sense that um there's a higher reason a reason which can rule us but which itself somehow no longer seems human you sort of want to go up to this man and say like yeah but what did you really think about these Asylum Seekers what was your real opinion about them why did you let this one ignore that one not but he can't give you that answer because he's working on a completely different level of abstraction okay so what should we say art can tell us about this situation what can art teach us maybe about the bureaucratic moment with which we find ourselves faced so often in modernity well okay art has many different options right art can like Kafka create a kind of a dark satire of it like Ben sherrock's film it can tell us the human stories of the people trapped in the bureaucracy it can give a fine-tuned portrait of the bureaucrat in a way that kazuri shiguru's novel where the main character of remains of the day is also called Alfred Stevens so something is quoting there so art can do all of these different things but what art certainly cannot do right it cannot actually solve the problems and if we ask ourselves well what should we do day to day you know maybe maybe you work in European bureaucracy or you know I'm a bureaucratic decisions in a small way as a lecturer like when you're faced with these kinds of decisions well what should you do what should you do with this system um and we cannot answer this question in a general way right we should reform the systems that are bad we should uphold the systems that are good to some degree but we should be aware that in modernity whatever solution we come up with we are always going to be creating new systems and we're always going to be creating systems that unfortunately it seems are creating uh you know terrible plight you might of course have a political idea about this and you might think a completely different system would be you know a better solution but even then even if you create let's say a socialist Paradise you will be faced with bureaucracy and everything that it brings with it so um ultimately I don't think that this kind of critical stance that art takes towards bureaucracy should lead us towards the thought that we should reject all systems right that we should become kind of fashionable anarchists but rather it shows us something else that morality or you know the good life the good politics is ultimately a systems of rules but in order to be moral we mustn't only follow rules we must also remain human and to be human we must ultimately be ready to break rules to not just Embrace bureaucracy but also to some extent chaos okay I'll leave you with that and thank you very much for your time [Applause] and I think um Clementine says that there's some q a feel free to go if you're very bored um but otherwise uh you know feel free to stay um yeah so um thank you so much vid uh for this lecture it was super interesting super super thought provoking I think uh and a real highlight on sunsho's work um I was wondering uh maybe I start with the question and please do ask any question or give us any comment that you have afterwards um I was wondering if you could expand a bit more on how art forms um what's their specific role in political discourse as compared to other forms of knowledge because I know that you've written extensively about that and uh I think in it would be interesting to know a bit more about your thoughts on this yeah thanks so you know I think one thing that I ask myself when I write about art and politics right is that it's very easy to say you know this artist has a really radical political idea right this artist is really radically political they're saying you know we should tear down all the prisons or something like this um and you always I always ask myself well but why not do that in a different way why not just join a protest or a political party or um you know do if you like politics within journalism let's say okay now this is like a big can of worms and a big question but I think ultimately what art and I'm speaking not just the visual art but also of not novels or literature it allows us to create like that sense of puzzlement or that sense of kind of questioning right with an artwork you very rarely just get a question what you get oh sorry what just get a statement what you get is a process so for example with um some Q's work you might initially walk in and ideally I think you would walk in see them only as beautiful objects and then you sort of realize what they really are and you have this moment of shock and then you look at the forms and then you begin to ask well what is my role of all of this am I upholding this um you know this system let's say is this system bad so what art can do in a complete nutshell as opposed to other forms of discourse is that it suspends you in that moment one of the things it can do that suspends you in that moment of uncomfortable questioning right which is very hard to actually sustain in real life you brush it aside right you say I don't have time for this um that's I think in an Ideal World what art can create that space to think thank you um is there any question in the urgents I have a question about uh the evolution of practices with ID that are political between the 60s and now what are the major differences yeah so um I mean there are so many different practices today you know it's fair to say right I mean today you have everything from protest art to conceptual art to everything but maybe what I find super interesting about the 60s is that they are really the birth of the kind of way in which we think about Contemporary Art now and we don't often realize that and why this was made in 1966 right so you think 60s hippies uh sexual Revolution politics blah blah blah right all of that is happening but these guys conceptual artists in New York were making this kind of work right up until 6970 and were not really thinking about their work in political terms necessarily maybe privately they were against the war in Vietnam but they didn't show you know there's no Vietnam in this right no war in Vietnam in this and then you get 1917 you get exhibitions like the big exhibition in the Museum of Modern Art called information and suddenly these two things are forced together artists who are conceptualists who are modernists who are formalists are simultaneously thought of as the source of political engagement in 1917 information in in Moma you have works like this and then you have a curatorial text which says um this is sort of somehow anti you know anti-establishment or and so you get this complete Paradox right there is no political content in this but you get the beginning of something very interesting which is that you get the beginning of I think like you know artistic practice that can think about politics by presenting you with these questions with these difficult forms and I think this ultimately leads down to um sung tu's work so I mean in a nutshell I would say in the 1960s artists were perhaps 19 late 60s were very torn between formalism and protest let's say I think today you have like a much wider variety of expression and I think I don't know a lot of work that fails but the best work is the work that I think sustains that questioning uncomfortable moment for me thanks um thank you very much for your um inspiring talk um I have a comment and a question the comment is that apart from Hannah Aaron this was mainly staying in the realm of art written art novels or so when it comes to um criticizing uh bureaucracy and I thought um maybe maybe you don't know the German sociologist Max Weber who who has a wonderful quote which is the cold skeleton hands of bureaucracy and that they would fit well I think in your assemblage there my question is to the work of song Chu and what role the location actually plays for her installations so whether she comes with this installation and then places them in whatever Museum gives her in terms of space or whether particularly with the toy house installation the location I mean this was built in 1937 and supervised by Adolf Hitler himself the location where the installation is in there I cannot imagine that she would be oblivious of the location itself so I was just wondering what the in in terms of the artistic process where does the location come in well I I can only answer this question thank you very much for the vapor quote I mean I think he does absolutely fit into the into the narrative um with regards to her practice um I know that for example when you look at this work there is there's a kind of a soil um there's some dirt you can sort of see that there's some dirt and salt inside the sculpture and this is taken I believe from around the museums that requirement in so so there's a so there is a kind of like a nod to I think the local in a sense that um the forms that constrict us the bureaucratic forms that you know even incarcerial uh architecture and more broadly can of course be completely International and completely invisible but the kind of uh life that is being constrained is always somehow belonging to a particular local I mean that's how I this is my interpretation rather than her text um I can't answer you know specifically about to what extent she engages with uh with local um contexts but you're right that but but her practice is certainly incredibly research driven she's done also a lot of work with regards to um Vietnamese contract workers for example and I think in tsukswang you actually I don't have the slide but in the um in the um frames there I think you can see like some case studies of Vietnamese contract workers if I'm not mistaken you know which again is a situation very much to do with the reunified Germany where the workers were being sent back um and yes I cannot confirm your hypothesis but given the kind of artist that she is and how kind of research driven her practice is I would not be surprised at all if that figured in her decision to make to make this work is to make it even more specific I would put this in Brussels really or like you know Luxembourg I think it would work work well here as well maybe you can bring it here next time actually maybe to complete your answer with um the the installation that you can see in the Pavilion is site specific so soon conceived it especially for the Pavilion of modem in Luxembourg and she conducted a lot of research on on Luxembourg and bureaucracy in Luxembourg and of course um the country being in the city being also the location for many European institutions many bureaucratic institutions was played a role in um in the the specific topics that she addresses in the exhibition any other question you identified the 19th century as a sort of moment where bureaucracy became a topic in literature or not um so I was wondering what you think it was about that time or that moment in history and how we were living and that sort of brought that forward and then the second question I'm gonna wrap two into one um in a lot of the examples you cite here there is a sort of Western Elementor moment when looking at I don't know for example a variety of communist regimes in Southeast Asia there was a sort of similar or greater even tyranny of bureaucracy and have you looked at sort of art from that geography and how it maybe also deals with bureaucracy so I was I was trying to think whether I could give like a specific example which is specifically about bureaucracy and I mean maybe maybe you have an example for so I I haven't I mean I know that um in terms of some cues work specifically I mean she grew up in in Germany and so her work at least do work I'm familiar with mostly deals with with that situation for example but in of course you're you're absolutely right that in you know in various everywhere there is a modern State whether Democratic or utilitarian right like you have a bureaucracy and so you would have that kind of like response now I can't think of specifically Southeast Asian or he you know in some sense I mean in in Japan I guess like you have it in murakami's novels you know I would sort of because he's obviously very kafka-esque um but I can't give you a very good answer there I mean I'll think about it um in terms of the 19th century yeah it's it's a curious one I mean I I I you know I wrote this talk for this presentation specifically and I'd love to do more research if there are any historians here to talk to you about it but it seems to me that let's say when um goggle writes the government inspector in Russia in the 1830s I believe right there is this transformation there and elsewhere where you still have essentially on autocratic regime right a regime which is ruled by more or less the the ruler um but this bureaucratic class becomes increasingly prominent uh increasingly powerful as well but people's lives likewise are becoming like increasingly kind of embroiled in it um I guess more broadly in in Europe you get the Napoleonic Code right with Napoleon's conquest of Europe so like you get like a very kind of firm sense of of the law as something that kind of um governs the governs the states but if we then think also like later kind of in the if I were to compare goggle and Kafka right like early 19th and early 20th century I think one thing is that's interesting is that you you have Empires that in some sense are failing you know you still have like a very strong bureaucracy in place but it's breaking at the seams right the Russian bureaucracy as Google describes it is very inefficient the bureaucracy of Kafka experiences is of austro-hungarian Empire kind of like dilapidating decaying and then defeated of course in the first world war so you have this like sense of old habits really strong kind of way of how things are supposed to be done you know your life being governed by it but you're increasingly becoming uh aware of the pointlessness of it if you like um yeah that's how I would Briefly summarize it thank you um any other question from the audience maybe one more question if no okay so I think we can wrap up here uh thank you so much wait for this amazing lecture thank you thank you very much and thanks to all of you for listening thank you [Applause]

telegram bot for MBI Academy
hi there so this is the second part of this project that i have shown you of mb independent academy so i've built this project for this school and this is the is the telegram part so that the project itself this website it comes up uh it comes with a telegram a telegram group where the students are going to meet and uh tutors are going to assist them alright so i have built a robot for this telegram group that's going to control that tendency and also the engagement of our students in here so as you can see here this is going to be the student data which is going to store all the uh the students in here and name school contact and also period period is the time uh our student fbi has been registered for so period actually is for 30 days and then if it's four days left after that they can renew the period of student if the student continues uh with the subscription okay so here students can just upload files as you can see here but uh this is not a main purpose of the page the main purpose of the page is to show the statistics here which this is coming from the telegram so as you see here here's going to be the usernames of all the students and yes the last scene of where the student was in the group and interacted in the group student can be online but if it's not in the group and then we're not going to record the last scene as you can see the last scene of my last in here seventh day of march uh 11 14 and my engagement is three posts so it means that i replied or i i interacted with in three posts inside a group and this is my user id and this stats is for weekly and uh here's action i either can remove these or can just leave that so this is a back-end page for tutors all right so i can remove students here or i can just add students here all right so once the student joins the group here it's going to be added to this table here automatically so once the student is in the group it's going to be added in this table automatically and as the students start to interact as you can see here this is the testing i was just testing and here let me just send any message say hello so i send a message hello into the group so this message uh the part here should be able to capture that i have sent a message and interrupted and my last scene also should change remember here the timeless and this match is sage was around 16 march and then the time is 1686 so let me refresh and see what uh it's updating you can you see so the last thing here changed to 16 of march 1686 that's the time i sent the post in the group and my engagement is one it's reset because this is weekly is changing every week so you can see yeah here was 70 of uh 7th of march and then now is 16th of march so uh this that's just for seven days so it means that i have one post in the last seven days if i can have i can say maybe a high again just say hi in the group uh something like that and then come here and refresh so you can see that my stats here 1637 and the post engagement is two and this is my user id so this is going to be useful for tutors and also for admin to check uh which student is lacking and which student is not participating right and this can also in the meantime this part can send students messages when the uh that direct the messages to the robot so for example when i type start in it's like i'm directing this message to the robot i wanna speak with that part so when i say enter this is going to uh the part is gonna send me a message [Music] i have this bunch of so this is one but it says that hi there i'm a master admin for mbi academy group i will remove you in the group if you send inappropriate tags and i also monitor your attendance and engagement in the group so this robot here capability of student chair engagement is zero for the next two weeks oh yeah or the last scene for the past three days is uh that lasting doesn't change for the past three days and then the birds gonna send them is the only message to a student and if in the last 14 days the student at last scene of a student doesn't change and the post engagement doesn't change the board is going to remove the student automatically from the group so that's how the part works and that's the purpose of this part here is to control this group here and make sure that it tracks the attendancy and also engagement of students so that was the whole peoples of these robots here which is the telegram part all right thank you you

Why Is It Important To Breastfeed Your Newborn Baby Within The First 3 Hours? | #Shorts
in my research many breastfeeding complications were linked back to a delay or an interruption to the first breastfeed an apgas score of seven or above means your baby belongs in your arms unnecessary routine procedures can wait it's so important that you have your baby with you and not taken from you unless absolutely necessary in my experience the first breastfeed may take on average around two to three hours every woman and her baby are unique that during this time your baby will need to feed leisurely from both breasts to draw down your colostrum making way for your milk to come in gradually over the next three to four sometimes five days for many women it's important to be aware that this is when pain often occurs

How 'Year One' Has Influenced Batman Over The Years
now that Bruce Wayne is ready to put on the pointy ears and become the Caped Crusader on Gotham season 4 will draw influence from the iconic comic book tale Batman year one created by Frank Miller and artist Dave Matz Akeley year one became a definitive Batman origin story when it was first written in 1987 retelling the first year of Bruce's life at the Dark Knight Year 1 covers everything from Batman's training and the death of his parents to his growing partnership with Commissioner Gordon over the following 30 years year 1 influenced numerous animations live-action movies and even video games join us as we explore how year 1 shaped some of your favorite renditions of the Caped Crusader including Batman Begins Batman mask of the phantasm and even Tim Burton's first take on the Dark Knight in Batman release just two years after year one was published the first feature-length Batman movie since the 1960s drew upon Miller story with a twist the death of Bruce Wayne's parents is a key focus in both stories here though director Tim Burton revealed that it was a mobster called Jack Napier who pulled the trigger before going on to become the Joker ever danced with the devil in the town online the origin of Batman is arguably the most famous in comic book history so it was commendable that Burton decided to alter things in a way that would surprise even the most casual of fans through his approach Burton combined the essence of Batman's origin story in year one with the Joker's humble beginnings from The Killing Joke changing aspects of them both to fit the two comics together in one movie originally planned as a direct-to-video release mask of the phantasm didn't exactly set the box-office alight however the animated movie has since become a fan favorite that directly lives from Frank Miller's graphic novel in a surprising number of ways interspersed with flashbacks mask of the phantasm borrows a number of early training sequences from year one including one where young master Bruce trains in the grounds of Wayne Manor another scene listed from the comics takes place early on in Batman's career during this scene in both the movie and the comics Bruce realizes that criminals don't fear him which inspires him to dawn the cape and become Batman none of you are seen the most obvious parallel between year one and mask of the phantasm though is when the GCPD SWAT team chased Batman into an abandoned building in both stories use of explosives injure the dark night before he successfully evades imprisonment out of every Batman adaptation we've seen so far Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins borrows the most liberally from year one recycling a number of thematic and narrative elements to kickstart the celebrated trilogy no one took a page out of Miller's book by portraying Gotham as a corrupt cesspit without hope motivating Bruce Wayne to forge an alliance with GCPD Jim Gordon screenwriter David s Goyer described on the blu-ray release of Batman Begins how he was inspired by the way Miller developed the relationship between Bruce Wayne the beginnings of Batman and Gordon who is not yet the commissioner furthermore characters such as Flass Loeb and Falcone originally made their debut in year 1 before appearing in Batman Begins a number of memorable scenes are also lifted directly from the comics including the image of young Bruce kneeling over his parents corpses the use of actual bats to deter the police and that final calling card from the joke the film's discussed so far may bear the strongest hallmarks of Batman year one but you don't need to be the world's greatest detective to see how every adaptation released sins owes a debt to Miller's classic story - surprisingly Hollywood has yet to tackle year one in live-action although there was talk of drafting Miller in to write a script that could reboot the franchise after Batman and Robin in 2011 an animated version of the story finally hit our screens between Bryan Cranston as the voice of Jim Gordon and Gotham's very own Ben McKenzie as a titular Dark Knight in the wake of this it's unlikely that we'll ever see year 1 in cinemas now as the origin story of Batman has been told too many times in this fashion however we hope that season 4 of Gotham will incorporate the very best of Millers tale fleshing out Batman's early years while reaffirming the legacy that's about to unfold [Music] you

Slush 100: Pilot Angel
hi my name is kima Orbis I am the CEO of pilot angel we detect drowsiness and intoxication in real-time quick show of hands how many people here have fallen asleep at the wheel or know someone who's been killed or injured in a sleep or intoxication related accident John a buddy of mine played drums in a band it was up-and-coming called weed eater one night during a short commute home he fell asleep and was killed as a matter of fact over 400,000 people die in sleep related accidents on the road every year drowsiness slows reaction time hinders decision-making and attention much like being drunk drug use 15% of construction 8% of Transportation and shipping personnel use drugs in fact one-third of trucker fatalities test positive for illegal drugs and I don't even have to tell you about 2008 and cocaine introducing our product pilot angel we detect drowsiness and intoxication a real-time by directly tapping the brain so we can prevent accidents even before other symptoms become visible it's composed of a wearable and a smartphone app for example the wearable can be built into a hat you can see the electrode here so when the user uses the app it'll detect dangerous drowsiness once the dangerous to rosiness is detected it will then set off an alarm if the alarm is not reset by the user it will then send a push notification to the emergency contact with GPS location and a timestamp say there is the alarm and there's the push notification here so our team we have dr. malloon PhD data science Caltech dr. Haines is a data scientist Jet Propulsion Laboratory NASA torben NOAA former Belk in industrial design director me I'm the inventor and leader dr. Shah jees he's a neuroscientist with over eight years of research and brainwaves our business model simple b2b subscriptions upgrades additional features like cocaine methamphetamine detection partnerships with insurance companies the markets are huge 3.5 million truckers 1.1 million firefighters 18,000 surgeons six hundred thousand pilots and half a million insurance companies in the US alone we're seeking 2 million for the first year to market market projection is 1 percent of u.s. trucking only will grow 7 million there's also several additional markets because our system is independent and inexpensive emergency responders air traffic control and engineers mining security law enforcement drug testing anywhere drowsiness and intoxication or a problem pilot agent we're seeking 2 million for one year to market let's save some lives thank you so much pilot engine cherie any comments traction or pilots results how do you know this works done extensive interviews with trucking truckers like that even guys they don't want to wear anything on their head they're totally into it because they hate long-haul because of the fact you can fall asleep no matter how much red bull or coffee drank was in the process of setting up a product trial with AT&T for their emergency you know the repair teams after you know natural natural disasters they send out people that end up working triple shifts and they have problems with that so that was in the works I haven't letters of intent from that with some executives on the east coast of the United States and looking to partner with some insurance companies or logistics or anybody else would like to you know increase their brand by showing that they care about safety with the latest technology and that's one of the reasons why I'm here at slash how do you enforce adherence like you know if a driver plans to consume some drug you know he's willingness to put this thing on his head rather than on his friend sitting next to him or you know how do you control that that's a very good question thank you for that so the adherence number one from the interviews we have two features one is detecting drowsiness before other symptoms come up like that can be detected by cameras etc or performance and in that case the truck drivers are exceptionally interested in using that feature because it helps them with the professionality everyone I've talked to you I've talked to you know dozens and they're they're really into it now the drug the drug side that's for places where there's already a policy of drug testing we test we can detect cocaine and methamphetamine in real time whereas if you the traditional uses of that would be a detection would be urine or blood tests and there's only a one to three day window for detecting it so if it's a pilot flying someplace or a truck driver on a long-haul you might not have a chance to test them or when you do test them it's past that window of opportunity with us they sit down to do their job or standard do their job and we can tell in about ten fifteen minutes all the right team thank you so much thanks it's time to move on and it's independent and everything's in all-in-one which doesn't exist in mark thank you guys

Inaugural Submarine Command Course
five seconds [Music] standby one looking attack do you see razor tank attack 15 seconds [Music] so your target setup Master 22 warship bearing zero zero eight range eight thousand yards cause two two one speed 15 knots massage alpha alpha shoot beer 32 feet [Music] cut two two three zero eight one Lifeline Barn five two save five key of fire thanks on the cooler for juice [Music] AC Navigator EP updated pool of energy juice you have 4.2 miles to the take position speed make good three decimal two speed required three decimal one recommend standing [Music] this course broadly involves being assessed in competencies both tactically operationally but the entirety is focused on command itself so once we've proven we're capable of doing each of the events that we do at a tactical level we then re-assess as command and oversee other people do that to make sure that we can do it first and then can we do it in command and make sure that it's going to the level and the experience that it's supposed to from a surveillance perspective it is the toughest course that you can do internationally the submarine command course for many launching is is definitely regarded as the Pinnacle of a submariners career to achieve the submarine command course is a major Milestone and it is the the ticket to command it's a four month course living books at hmas Sterling in the simulator and then we come to see and we do a one-month sea phase which students are put through the pasties and all aspects of submarine warfare the simulator plays a huge part in this course we did 10 of 12 weeks in the simulator and the benefit of is it allows teacher to tailor each of the events to the students capabilities and experience you can increase or decrease the level of difficulty as required something that is much harder to achieve at Sea basically testing us on everything we can expect to face at Sea as a CEO of a submarine it's geared largely towards our operational profile which is a step away from what we were doing with the European courses there it's really geared to what an Australian CEO can expect to see so it's been brilliant a lot of thoughts gone into the course a lot of time in the Sim say higher pressure close in warship activity and uh then stepping into some of the more covert activities it's basically everything you can and we'll need to do in a submarine we've done in the simulator and now we're hoping to replicate some of that in the in the sea phase again the difference between I guess submarine command and command of a surface unit for example would be the submarine Captain is truly uh exercising autonomous command he is orshi is alone there is no reach back to Shaw decisions have to be made on the spot your instructions that you're provided when you sail that is what that is all you've got and you have to be able to function as the last man the idea of mission command on board a submarine is the greatest privilege that you could achieve within the submarine Force as far as I'm concerned and the responsibility is is huge and the accountability is is something that you've got to get used to and you've got to accept because when it comes to suffering command failure is not an option foreign

Objective/Subjective Tone and Type Two Questions
and this horrible music moment is brought to you by the 1990s today we're looking at objective and subjective tone but to do that we need to understand what types of writing there are so there are well that was lovely three purposes to writing to inform to entertain and to persuade so examples of each of those are informational texts are sharing knowledge or instructions they're described as objective matter-of-fact straightforward you could open a manual on how to work on your car you could look at a cookbook you could get an assignment assignment instructions from your teacher those are informative texts persuasive texts are trying to provide a reader with an opportunity to come over to the appoint of view of the writer so these are described as argumentative persuasive forceful controversial positive supportive negative or critical anytime you can win those are all persuasive texts also there's entertainment text the goal to captivate or interest an audience so described as amusing entertaining lively humorous with since become half suspensful who um you could also any kind of movie would be an entertainment a television show that sort of thing so here we have our first example out of the three purposes what is it so first to make a decision we have to look at what we're seeing so we have in 1990s take a bite out of crime a crime dog and he says so you know to drugs winners don't use drugs so let's start is it informational no it's not giving us an information there's no statistics or information there so it's not that persuasive well certainly looks that way because it isn't entertaining it's saying that winner so it's using the kind of language that makes us want to see their bias and it's telling us say no to drugs so it is trying to persuade us one opinion option two again same options this is a photograph from the Olympics from a few years ago when the women soccer team won gold and she literally was so pleased she does all her blades are off was like yeah so is it informative no because I had to tell you all of that was it persuasive because no but sure he's entertaining it reminds us of watching the Olympics this year of watching sports in the past so yes it's an entertaining image here we have the future prescribed map of what will be the light rail throughout Colorado it's not persuasive because it's not asking us to take the light rail or to provide money and it's not really entertaining although it is kind of like an octopus but it is informational in its text we can have lots of information from it most maps are the same way next we have this lovely kitten chewing on a baby pig says does not taste like chicken it's not informative although the cat is telling us that bacon is not the same thing as baby pig and it's not really persuasive so it must be entertaining and finally here we have how to fit your dog for a coat that's certainly not entertaining it's got lots of information but it's not trying to persuade me of anything therefore because it is all informational it's an informed text so here we have some written examples number one cloning human beings should be banned there's no information provided there and it's not entertaining therefore is a persuasive topic how do I know look at the words used should it's not decisive it's an opinion should tells me of a bias a bias tells me a persuasive text number two the National Hurricane Center predicts a record number of hurricanes in the upcoming months well it's an informative text how do I know look at the verb predicts there's no way I can argue with that now you could argue with me and say that they're trying to persuade us this is going to happen you might be able to win an argument there but that's not the intention behind the statement if it were it would say something like it would in the statement with you should move from Florida before you drown number three friends don't let friends drive drunk it's not entertaining and it's not informative it's persuasive because it's stating an opinion now I would hope that all of your friends encourage all of their friends not to drive while drinking but it is an opinion you could still do it please don't number four age is strictly a case of mind over matter if you don't have a mind it doesn't matter okay not an informative and it's not persuasive why do I know it's entertaining because it's a ridiculous statement no one in that sort of terminology would be able to actually think right okay so have you established tone it's basically the words that are chosen the author is going to use the words they are with direct intention and they are going to apply reason and emotion to ensure that tone comes across which leads to the two types of tone we can come across in reading one objective tone these are facts and reasonable explanations its impartial unbiased neutral and formal so these are just the facts that set up the tone as opposed to the subjective tone it's going to give us a reader or an author's personal beliefs it's going to talk about feelings and judgments and opinions and experiences it's going to have a bias it's going to be emotional informal so we're gonna see words like I and you it's going to show favor toward one topic or another so what's the difference how can we tell one if you care about saving lives you should vote for gun control well we already established that it has a certain attacks it must be persuasive if it's a persuasive text it must be subjective it's an opinion you is awesome presence that's my other hint number two you can do anything if you just put your mind to it gone you can do it all right again first thing I see the word you therefore it's gonna lead me originally to think that it must be subjective tone also it's taking an opinion if you just put your mind to it you can do anything well that's true I should have millions of dollars number two is subjective finally number three thick heavy clouds hung low in the sky like a soggy wet blanket okay this looks like it's out of a book I can tell that just because of the wording soggy and wet kind of bring mind here but we have no opinions it is just simply stating about the weather therefore its objective so yesterday or your last blog excuse me you looked at type one knowledge level questions so in case you were wondering I've included a reporter here because type one questions our reporter questions their knowledge based a knowledge question is an answer that exhibits memory of previously learned materials you're recalling information or you're answering the five W's who what where when and why and sometimes how which unfortunately doesn't get to hang out with the other five W's but we're looking at type two comprehension questions and a comprehension question has an answer that demonstrates understanding of facts and ideas by organizing comparing translating interpreting giving descriptions or stating main ideas in other words you have to read between the lines or make an inference to understand so what are we made then to infer let's have a look at this little cartoon here we've got Uncle Sam watching TV and the television says genocide occurring in Darfur one person can make French and Uncle Sam thinks that person better get started okay Jamaican and Prince we need to really look at what we're seeing the TV notes about the genocide Uncle Sam is washing he's sitting back in a lounge chair trinkets a pop eating some popcorn the TV says literally the genocide is happening and some one person can do something to change this and he thinks huh somebody better do that so I need to read between the lines now I know that Uncle Sam is a symbol of America therefore Uncle Sam is sitting back America is sitting back and I also think that we're trying to make a point here one person can make a difference that person better get started oh that person is America so America should do something know of my assignment and we're to ask one type two questions I could look at these sort of questions what ideas show that America should be involved in the genocide or how would you state in your own words that America should be involved in the genocide occurring in Darfur hmm is a great level two questions you can see other questions starters at the bottom below this video so alludes to your assignment you're going to post one level two question and answer one using rap remember that's restate answer and provide proof an example the question would be what do you want to learn to do the answer would be I want to learn to kayak that's my answer and Restatement because I love water and canoeing is really boring that's my provided proof if you have questions on raps or this assignment type two questions inferencing anything else we've covered let us know we're here for you and to help audience bum-bum-bum better numb bum bum bum

She Ends Up In A Japanese Concentration Camp For European Women Where They Arent Conside movie recap
[Music] welcome back to fox recaps today i'm going to explain the movie paradise road released in the year 1997. at raffles hotel in singapore a group of soldiers is enjoying a dance with their partners it is a great stress reliever for them since they've been fighting against japan in world war ii we are introduced to an australian nurse susan who is dancing with a man she met at the party similarly a woman in her twenties named rosemary is with her soldier husband who she is completely in love with at a table nearby a group of american men and women are discussing how the japanese could never defeat americans right then a loud explosion is heard outside a man stops the party and announces that the japanese soldiers have barged in through the borders they're heading towards the city and could attack any minute now all women and children are requested to board a ship that will take them to a safer place while all men are appointed to the front line the partners quickly say their goodbyes to each other before the women frantically get on the ship as the ship sails the australian nurses tend to the passengers needs and socialize with them everyone on board is given life jackets to wear for a few hours to ensure their safety the night passes smoothly but in the morning japanese aircraft launch missiles at the ship the passengers go into a frenzy trying to save their lives many women and children die in the attack while a handful of them jump into a lifeboat and sail to the nearest island however rosemary who was separated from her husband the australian nurse susan and an american lady adrian are left behind in the water they swim for an entire day and finally reach the shore on the island of sumatra after crossing a muddy jungle they reach a path and make their way forward by now the women are exhausted but they talk to each other to keep themselves motivated the first person they see is a japanese soldier riding a bicycle he's followed by a queue of such soldiers who cycle past the women then captain tanaka from the japanese force gives them a lift to the nearest town on their way adrian reminds them of the mistake his men made by attacking a ship full of women and children their act was against the geneva convention but the captain announces that japan never signed it after the women are dropped in the town a japanese sergeant slaps rosemary for no reason he then drags them to a larger group of people it turns out that the women and children who were saved in the lifeboat have also been brought to the island susan reunites with her nurse friends and is thankful they're safe following that the soldiers forcefully take them to a prison camp that already holds prisoners from different backgrounds they're given a shed to share between hundreds of women the next morning the prisoners are woken up by soldiers who treat them like cattle the colonel announces that they're now the prisoners of the japanese government and have to live according to their rules a woman tries to cut him off but is beaten up by the sergeant the soldiers forcefully make them bow down to the japanese flag while their national anthem plays in the background a while later a truck provides the prisoners with leftover meat and vegetables that they cook and ration out to the 400 of them while socializing the women realize that they are of all nationalities including dutch english irish portuguese chinese and australian and they also come from many levels of society there's a slight tension between some english and dutch women but everyone decides to live in harmony for as long as they're in the camp then we're introduced to a jewish woman named verstalk she claims to be a doctor and is relatively close with the japanese soldiers because of her expertise when asked about where she's from she mentions that she was not allowed to socialize with the higher class people like them when she was outside following breakfast they're made to do field work all day long they have to defecate in a bucket full of water and cannot rest if they're tired one of their duties includes fetching water for the soldiers to bathe with while they're at it the soldiers walk around naked with no shame which is surprising to the conservative women one of them who's been in the camp long enough spreads rumors about a men's camp being on the other side of the mountain while everyone dismisses it rosemary is intrigued because that would mean her husband might be on the other side in only a few weeks a pandemic of malaria spreads among the prisoners while some of them die others become bedridden the oldest woman from the batch mrs roberts also gets the disease she had brought her puppy with her even after the mishap on the ship it is her only support animal but some women hope she dies so they can cook her pet it goes to show that the most respectable of the society are also left slaves to their human instincts when at risk of dying with more and more people getting sick the shortage of medicine becomes a problem hence they have to get quinine by trading their earrings with the soldiers a chinese woman named wing takes on the job and sneaks outside at night she manages to cross the fence and trade the medicine but some guards are alerted while she's at it at last she returns to the shed without being caught mrs roberts is given the medicine which helps her greatly but then captain tanaka gets a hint of what happened last night he brings wing to the front and burns her alive as punishment the other prisoners are horrified at the site that evening adrian is humming a song when she's joined by an older woman named daisy they bond over their common love for music and decide to form a vocal orchestra among the women they write musical notes on notebooks which some women disapprove of fearing the japanese's wrath but others are keen to join the orchestra mrs robert who has now fully recovered starts nagging about having to live with people from the lower class her daughter informs her that wing died trying to save her life after the revelation mrs robert feels guilty and is thankful for a kind soul-like wing the following morning adrian and daisy start the first orchestra practice that is interrupted by the soldiers almost immediately they beat and pull the women for doing something they're not allowed to but the ladies are in no mood to give up they form a smaller group and practice in quiet places to go unnoticed by the soldiers the plan works and they're able to make some considerable progress one day the sergeant comes to the shed shoving every woman on his way he hands daisy a list of names after analyzing it a bit they come to the conclusion that the women on the list are all young and beautiful they're put in a vehicle and taken to a mansion occupied by the higher japanese officials a translator explains to them that they're being given an opportunity for a better life if they agree to be the mistresses of the officials they will be given silk sheets good food and their own rooms while some of the women think the offer is outrageous others assume it is promising one of susan's fellow nurses adrian's best friend topsy and some other women take the job many more months pass but the war doesn't end with passing time many women die in the camp adrian manages to convince susan and her friends to join her orchestra one day susan enters dr verstak's cabin and finds her hammering a gold tooth out of a dead body she claims it's of no use to the owner and can be useful to the women later on initially susan thinks what the doctor is doing is wrong but it turns out that verstock trades gold with japanese soldiers for medicine she wants susan to learn all the tactics so she can keep the prisoners alive in case the doctor is killed one day that night adrian is outside the shed when a drunk soldier attacks her and tries to assault her she defends herself efficiently and shoves him to a puddle but then the other soldiers arrive and blame her for hitting a soldier for no reason she's kept inside a cage for the night so the convocation can be done the next day the sun rises and she's taken in front of captain tanaka the soldier has lied to him that he only touched her because she refused to bow to him when adrian tries to give her side of the story the captain sees it as her insulting the japanese soldiers he shoves her to the ground and kicks her repeatedly somewhere else the other women go to the colonel's office and vouch for adrian they beg him to be fair and let her go because it was the soldier's fault initially he shows reluctance but when they compare him to captain tanaka he decides to help that night the orchestra performs its very first show taking the japanese soldiers by surprise even when the soldiers are ordered to stop them they're so mesmerized by the music that they hardly can by the end of it even the leaders clap for the ladies in the following scene the prisoners are gathered and told that japan has gained further success in the war and now australia wants to join hands with it susan huffs and whispers a profanity under her breath however captain tanaka seems to have heard it he calls her to the front and asks her to repeat what she said when she refuses to oblige he makes the soldiers kneel down and trap her in such a way that if she moves she will be stabbed to death susan stays there for hours in scorching heat and no water but the soldiers do not allow anyone to help her 24 hours pass and the captain returns at the same time the next day impressed with her will to live he lets her free this time by now the ladies perform an orchestra every night for the colonel and the sergeant who over time have become fans of their music they even give them two bars of soap as a present it has now been two years since the prisoners first arrived they are transferred to a different and less facilitated place on the island but aren't told the cause of it while being transported they notice a bunch of women having afternoon tea outside a mansion they presume those were the girls who agreed to be the mistresses to rosemary's shock she spots her husband among the prisoners that the japanese have brought this means only one thing they are about to kill him she cries her way to the new location knowing that she will never meet the love of her life again at the new location they're made to stay at abandoned houses with no mattresses even the food resources are less so the women have to resort to eating snakes and grasshoppers many people get sick because of malnutrition and eating raw meat after seeing her husband with the japanese rosemary no longer has the will to live she starves herself for days and cries all night long eventually she passes away alongside mrs roberts and tens of other prisoners a field by the sheds has turned into a graveyard by the end of a few months in the end only a handful of those who came from the boat are left they've almost forgotten what their life was like before they were captured but they have also learned a great deal at the camp then on the 24th of august 1945 the colonel gathers everyone gets on top of a table and announces that the war has ended he apologizes if he made any mistakes and promises that he did everything he could for the prisoners the japanese soldiers leave the post letting the prisoners free to do anything the women jump dance and erupt into cheers celebrating their freedom it is narrated that the survivors were rescued within two weeks and sent to singapore from there they were sent to their respective homelands the music in the film was created from the sheet music that the original orchestra made even after being freed the survivors maintained their friendships until their deaths that was all from the video i hope you liked it subscribe for more content like this and hit the like button to help us

What is Literature? pt 3
hello everyone this is Professor Paul this is part three final lecture in the introductory what is literature series looking at some basic fundamental questions about literature so let's go on to part three so this is called modes and features and by modes I mean that the format of a literary work some people use the term genres but I prefer the term modes and what are the characteristics of those modes or genres of literature so the different modes again we've talked about novel short story poem play comic book etc some people like I said you will use the term genre although I prefer to use the term genre to talk about things like the detective genre or the science fiction genre or the romance genre and so you can have a short story or a play or a novel and they're all in the detective genre but there are different modes of literature that's the way I use it at least let's look at the fundamental elements the basic elements of all literature any work of literature is gonna have a character is gonna have characters and that's one of the most important elements the people who take part in the events of the story and again the people the character is not necessarily human in poetry we often talk about the speaker rather than character the person that's speaking the poem of the poem and the audience or the addressee the person being spoken to that's the other sort of implicit character in a poem so we use slightly different terms but it's the same essential concept who is in the story who is this about who is doing what we see and what we see is the plot that's the events that occur within a story in the order that they're told what's the arrangement of events in a story so plot for example could be like the plotting that I mentioned in the last lecture a story where the scenes are told in Reverse so what happens in the story what are the events in poetry again a little bit different poet in poetry plot is often not as obvious whereas of course in a movie you see oh well Tony Stark gets kidnapped he invents the Iron Man suit he escapes he becomes Iron Man blah blah blah very clear series of events in poetry it's often much more difficult to find an explicit series of events like that so the plot is often implied or even a figurative plot a sort of imagined series of events rather than a real series of events of course there's all also setting if there's something happening it has to be happening somewhere and some when so where is this story taking place and that could be as specific as the very room in which it's taking place or we can also think about the country the type of landscape is it a warm landscape is it a cold landscape is it snowy is it rainy is it foggy is it in the north is it in the south is it in a city is it in the forest is it in the jungle all these sorts of things is it in an office building is it in a rural shack is it in a bathroom is it in a phone booth and the time of the story is part of the setting is that in the far future is it today is it in the medieval period so setting is important for us to understand how these things are happening and where and again in poetry setting is often much more figurative or implied or not necessarily even explicitly stated just these are someone speaking something is happening but the setting is sort of vague or even just in the mind in the imagination of the speaker figurative language all works of literature and most of us in our everyday speaking use figurative language that is words that are used to imply meanings that go beyond the literal meanings when we say something that we don't mean what we say we mean something else besides what we say and this is going to be most noticeable in poetry but it's an essential part of all literary works there's the narrator and this is most important in short story and novels the narrator is the voice or the person and again not necessarily human who's telling the story in films we might sometimes have a voiceover that could be the narrator in drama though in plays there's rarely a narrator sometimes a character might also serve as the narrator might step out but there's rarely an objective voice like there is sometimes in novels or stories a bird's eye view telling the story in poetry the speaker is basically the narrator is the person telling the story because the speaker is the only voice that we have and one of the most obscure concepts when we talk about literature as an essential element is theme what we mean by theme and theme is a very vague and very problematic concept but it's sort of essential at the same time what's the idea or ideas that the story represents or implies or communicates and this can be as specific as the meaning of life is finding your true loved one or it can be more vague as well the theme of this story is death and it's exploring death when we talk about it we want to be as precise as possible how is it representing this idea what is it commuting hating to us about the experience of or the human understanding of something like love death freedom etc etc so let's talk about the modes of literature or the genres of literature first is poetry I'm sorry I poetry because it's really it dates to the earliest stages of human civilization and human experience as far back as there have been humans it seems there's been something like poetry and it's very intimately related to music perhaps poetry emerged from music from song it's also related I think to religion or what became religion to myth to prayer to ritual so poetry is part of a fundamental way that humans since the humans first evolved have tried to express themselves and particular expression to higher ideas and higher purposes as we talked about in the last lecture poetry generally can be identified by its layout on the page because it's usually written in verse so here's that same derek walcott excerpt the top is as it's originally presented in verse the bottom is what it would look like if it were in prose where there's no attention to the rhythm or no explicit attention to the quantity of syllables and stresses in the line it just goes by the layout of the page so you can see the difference between verse and prose and normally when we think about poetry we think about what's called lyric poetry there are other kinds of poetry like narrative poetry but normally what we think about what we're gonna be reading for the most part in this class is lyric poetry that's something that that we imagine is being spoken by a character or a persona so it's sort of like a speech or a monologue in a play and it's addressed to a fictional or imagined audience and that could be one person or it could be multiple people and leered poetry there's some context situation or relationship or intention because again it's almost like a little scene a little dramatic scene one person talking to another so they have some idea that they're expressing there's some situation that makes them speak but there's often not an obvious plot or narrative again as we talked about it's more about the emotional human experience which is one of the things that makes poetry so beautiful but also so challenging so when speaking about specific elements of poetry the speaker this is like character the character in poetry is we normally talk about the speaker who is the person that's expressing themselves in words and it's a fictional person not necessarily the actual author it could be a imagined persona an imagined version of themselves or they could be taking on a character much like an actor does and is expressing the ideas of that actor or that character so that's who's speaking the poem and they're speaking to an addressee or audience or listener the person here on the right that the arrow is pointing to that all the noise all the words all the ideas are going from the mouth of one into the ear of the other so the addressee is the fictional person who hears the poem the person that the speaker is speaking to and that's not us that's not you the reader although it might be some imagined version of you poetry as we said before is written usually in verse and that's language that is quantified and measured for example it's organized into syllables and stresses and as we see here you might have seen this before you might have learned how to do this how to scan a poem for its stresses and syllables and it's organized in a particular pattern and that's called the meter and it's also divided into stanzas or groups of lines so you might have a certain meter that governs how long the lines are and as a grouping of stanzas so that's the number of lines of that meter in a particular verse paragraph we might say and another very important part of poetry are the sonic devices all the elements such as rhyme alliteration assonance we'll go over these later in the semester when meet when we get to poetry that create the musical effects that make poetry sound beautiful and feel pleasurable to speak and here to talk a little bit about how to write about poetry so this is some practical stuff when you are citing poetry in any assignments for this class or any others titles for poems are usually almost always placed in quotations so the river merged his wife a letter silhouette those are the titles of two poems that we're going to be reading the semester if you were writing about them you would put their titles in quotation marks there are very long poems there are book length poems 5075 plages plus and when you're talking about a long poem like that that's published in its own book form you normally will italicize the titles so Paradise Lost the wasteland those are long book length poems so they are italicized in the way that a book title is also italicized when you're citing a poem you cite the byline number in parentheses so here's two examples this is a quote from poem by Ezra Pound and I'm quoting part of the first line so I put the number one in parentheses indicating that it's from line one if you're quoting more than one line of running two or three lines then you would put them just in the text the way I did there but you didn't include a slash in between the lines and if you're quoting a large chunk of poetry for lines or more you put it in a block quote and you try to reproduce it as closely as is printed in terms of spacing and indentation and things like that so that's just some practical matters when it comes to writing about poetry let's look at the next mode of literature drama or plays and I go into them second because they're almost as ancient as poetry drama is very intimately related to poetry as a form in some sense drama is just poetry that has become more elaborate from being one person speaking a poem to being a group of people as a chorus speaking a poem to ultimately being an actor that steps out from the chorus and takes their own role to then multiple actors that's how it seems drama evolved in ancient Greece and drama is also intimately related to religious and civic rituals again like poetry as a form of prayer and a form of community a form of people getting together to communicate and celebrate and engage in various again civic political and religious rituals together so drama is written for usually live performance for one or more actors plus an audience obviously an audience to watch the actors classical drama so that's thinking about ancient Greece ancient Rome up through the Middle Ages up into the Renaissance was written mostly in verse or was written entirely in verse rather and it wasn't until around 1500 so only about five hundred years ago that people started using prose as well as verse in drama and modern drama is now mostly prose because that seems more natural to us but and more realistic but in classical culture poetry they appreciated the artistic miss the artistic nature of poetic verse and poetic drama in a way that we just don't anymore here's an example two examples of verse and prose drama both from the same play so Shakespeare who's writing in the 1590s here Midsummer Night's Dream he uses both prose and verse in his plays so here we have an example on the left of verse and on the right from prose on the left it's one of the young lovers one of the high-class characters speaking in verse on the right it's bottom one of the foolish low-class characters speaking in prose now when you read a play what do you see well you're pretty much all you see is dialogue that's it just the dialogue between the characters what they are saying there will be some stage directions for example the set might be described it might say this takes place within a room there's a chair in the corner there's a clock on the wall there's a dead body lying on the floor whatever it might be might describe particular prompts there might be some description of the characters such-and-such is a gloomy person such this is very strict another character might be described as flighty or mater or daydreaming whatever and there might be some description of action so it might say at this point such since that's leaves exits the stage or enters the stage or gets up or here we have a sword fight whatever it might be so there's a limited amount of description but it's pretty much just dialogue and for the most part a lot of the stuff that you see in a play script is printed there primarily for the readers not for the actors or the director who make their own decisions about a lot of those things an ancient drama it was often really just continuous action one thing happened and another thing happened and another thing happened characters are pretty much entering and leaving no stop when we get into the classical drama of Europe in the Middle Ages and Renaissance then we get into slightly more formalized structure and so rather than just a kind of continuous one scene we get a series of scenes again often very rapidly switch from one to another but rather than it being all one place and one time we can jump around to different places and different times and these scenes were often grouped into act and four or five acts being the most common and today in modern drama we usually go by the act and scene structure and most modern plays are usually one two three acts rather than five acts the one two three act structure has become the most common and again each act is a group of related scenes so let's look at those terms again a scene is continuous action in one place or time and so when we think about the ancient drama of the Greeks it all happened in one place and it all happened in real time so that's why the scene was continuous but when we get to medieval and renaissance drama we can have multiple places they start using multiple places and different time periods so something the action could unfold over a longer period of time so we have distinctions between scenes and then the acts again are a group of scenes so it's one segment of the story the three act structure conforms sort of very nicely to beginning mindell middle end with the climax being roughly around the end of the second act now let's turn to our third / third and fourth mode of literature and that's a prose fiction and this includes both novels and short stories so what's a novel well novels are longer narratives longer stories they just have more words more pages and for the most part it usually takes multiple sittings to complete a novel now of course many people have sat down with a novel them and so enthralled that they spent all night reading it I know many of you might have done that with for example a Harry Potter novel something that I've done it before but for the most part it takes multiple sittings to complete a novel and the novel could be a hundred pages it could be a thousand pages or more there are some very very long novels out there so long stories written again usually in prose now novels are much more recent when we compare them to poetry and drama novels really emerge around 1600 only around 400 years ago and it was kind of a new kind of storytelling and it was a departure from the old kinds of chivalric romance the stories of knights and ladies in distress instead novels started to turn the focus more towards real people and more realistic settings although of course again we have genre fiction like science fiction and fantasy which is very unrealistic but the focus on individuals individual experienced individuals psychology that's one of the hallmarks of the novel and often the first novel was considered to be Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes the famous Spanish author published in 1605 short stories as the name tells us are shorter they're shorter than novels so short stories are compared to novels they usually you can read them in one sitting although sometimes there are some that might take multiple sittings and there are variable lengths but generally we're talking about under 80 pages and usually even shorter than that under 40 pages so short stories are much shorter as a form as a mode or genre they don't emerge until the late 1700s so they're the most recent of these standard traditional forms of literature short stories are often much more limited in scope and complexity than a novel you just can't write as much you can't write about as much in 20 pages as you can in 200 but these brief stories these short stories are often very intense that's one of the things that the short story has it can be very compressed in its in its depiction of a narrative and sometimes short stories take the forms of snapshots or sketches or portraits and notice these are all visual terms used to talk about what short stories can do they give us just a very brief picture of a period of time or a portrait of a character a person described a person so these are some of the things that short stories often do and how they're different from novels now there are also some other forms of prose fiction there's the novella which is somewhere in between a novel and a short story so 80 pages 75 pages 100 pages maybe that's a novella there's no real set definition here but something that's a little bit shorter than novel a little bit longer than a short story and then we also have the things that are called short short stories or flash fiction these are very very short 500 words or less sometimes and although some of you may be saying wow I'd really rather read a 500 word or less story rather than a 20 page story they're often way more difficult to understand in a certain sense because they're just so compressed and the way that poetry is often very difficult to talk about because it's so compressed so to cite short stories short story titles are in quotation marks so one of the stories will be reading for example is called the werewolf so you would put that in quotation marks novel titles are in italics like long poems so brave new world the novel that we'll be reading is metallics plays are also in italics I didn't put that in the lecture but a play would be the title would be in italics so I want to give just a final note about something that smile it's a little bit of a pet peeve of mine but it's important and it's important to all English professors and anyone who cares about really about being accurate in the words we use novel is not a synonym for book just because something is in a book that doesn't mean it's a novel people often students often will use novel for things that aren't novels a novel is a type of fiction fictional narrative it's a type of story whereas a book is a physical object it's a bound collection of pages upon which texts are printed okay so what do I mean what why I'm making a big deal about this difference let's look at this all novels are books because all novels are printed in books unless it's an e-book for example but not all books are novels for example your textbook isn't a novel right your your history book isn't a novel a cookbook isn't a novel and also a play that is published in a book is not a novel so something written by Shakespeare published in a book printed in a book is not a novel Shakespeare wrote plays like The Tempest which will be reading the semester and Shakespeare's plays were printed in books but Shakespeare did not write novels and he did not write books he wrote plays and just to confuse you a little bit more brave new world it's a book and it is a novel The Tempest is a play and it's printed in a book but it is not a book nor is it a novel I know this might seem a little confusing and maybe I'm being seeming a little pedantic or overly strict about this but it really does make a difference you might not see it at first but it really does make a difference and again short stories and poems are printed in books you'll have a book that's a collection of poetry but those books aren't novels a collection of poetry is a collection of poetry a collection of short stories is a collection of short stories and you wouldn't call a short story a novel or a poem a novel even though they're printed in books and you wouldn't call I drew them a book so the point here is just to be careful about your terminology because they are different things a play does something different than a novel someone who writes a play is trying to do something different than someone who writes a novel and if you don't know the difference between them or if you use the the terms interchangeably then it shows that you don't really understand what you're talking about so make sure you're careful when you use your terms all right that's the last of the videos on what is literature the introductory series if you have any questions feel free to contact me via email or text or phone call otherwise I look forward to working with you and seeing what you have to say in class and I will see you next week on our next set of lectures

Call of Duty 2023 Is A Paid Expansion for Modern Warfare II
[Music] what is going on guys grave here today let's talk about a video that I made yesterday kind of clear some things up yesterday I made a video talking about Activision's Financial release where they had made the statement that there will be a new Full premium release in 2023 so a lot of people thought they were going to go ahead and speed up Treyarch and kind of push Treyarch forward and make them come out with their new game in 2023 instead of 2024 and that's not the case um they said the next full Treyarch game will not be coming out until 2024 so they want to make some clarifications this is next year in 2023 there will be more Modern Warfare 2. it will be premium paid expansion by Sledgehammer which I think is kind of odd but I'll get into that here in just a second and it's also supposed to have a ton of content and I'm assuming that's why they're calling it a full release but by the way they worded it I think a lot of people including myself were wrong we all thought you know we were mistaken we thought that when they said a new Full premium release it would be a new Call of Duty game but it's just going to be more kind of added on to what uh you know we have in Modern Warfare too now I do find it kind of odd that Sledgehammer is making this content because if Activision has decided to stay on this same kind of track that they've had over the last several years whether you have three developers you would assume that Sledgehammer would already be working on their next game to come out after Treyarch game comes out in 2024 instead of working on premium paid content for Modern Warfare 2. I'm assuming Infinity Ward will still have a hand in this I'm not sure what a full premium paid content what what that idea is going to look like will it be as much as a regular game is it going to be a little bit less I'm assuming it's going to have a pretty hefty price tag on it I'm not thinking it's going to be something like we had seen in the past before battle passes were around where you bought map packs and they were like what 15 or 20 bucks I'm assuming this may have campaign gameplay on it which I think a lot of people will like you're seeing some campaign gameplay in the background right now the campaign was great but what all could they do for a whole year of content to make players want to go out and purchase more content for a game that they have had for a year and a lot of people have had this conversation about Call of Duty some people think the Call of Duty should you know be on a yearly cycle if some do not the one thing I can agree with the people that think that Call of Duty should not be on a yearly salary you know should stay on that yearly cycle is by the end of let's say after college has been out for eight or nine months the content in my opinion in the battle passes were kind of lacking uh when it comes to updates and gameplay things are kind of lacking and so I can understand why you know Activision has decided to maybe put some new content in I'm just not sure if a lot of people are going to pay for that new content considering if everyone's kind of just done with modern warfare too everybody has moved on to Warzone 2 which we've known has happened in the past when warzone's out that's what a lot of people play they don't really play multiplayer will you see people purchasing this you know kind of premium update for the game will they kind of tie in some things for war zone to that I'm not sure how the community is going to feel about this idea is this what Activision is wanting to do going forward are we going to see Call of Duty go away from that yearly uh release kind of schedule and have you know the game come out and then the next year after that just more content added to that previous year's game we'll have to wait and see but like I said I just want to make a video kind of clearing all that up because I was confused myself the way that Activision ordered that I kind of assumed there was going to be a new Call of Duty game coming out next year in 2023 and apparently it's only going to be an expansion a premium paid expansion for Modern Warfare 2. anyway leave me a comment with your thoughts down in the comment section of course we like the video hit the like if you have not subscribed yet please do so and I'll catch you next time peace [Music]

The Mythology of Sarkicism (Sarkic Cults) | SCP Foundation lore explained
Cosmology: The observable universe is one among a finite or infinite number of possible universes (contained within the meta-universe); each universe can in turn be divided into a finite or infinite number of iterations. The structure of the meta-universe, the natural laws which allow for the manifestation of universes, is eternal - without beginning or end; universes, on the other hand, are created and eventually destroyed. Beyond this, Sarkic cosmology is fairly simple by virtue of the indifference of its adherents. Existence is regarded as an entirely brute fact - corruptible, discordant, and devoid of purpose. The Old God: Yaldabaoth (also known as Važjuma", "God-Eater", "Devourer", "His Undulating Vastness","The Great Winnower" and various other epithets) is regarded in Sarkicism as the principle power in the universe. Foot note 16:A name thought to be first employed by Gnostic and Mekhanite sects. Foot note 17: Lit. "The Old God"" Despite being treated with reverence, Yaldabaoth is not worshiped and appears to be regarded as subservient to Ion in some manner. Translated fragments of the Valkzaron suggests that Ion had somehow usurped control of this cosmic entity, wearing the flesh of the "God-Eater" as a sort of armor and crafting from its body a kingdom. As with all things related to Sarkicism, it is difficult to discern reality from myth. The relationship between Sarkicism and this entity may be akin to that of a parasite and its host (or perhaps even symbiotic). The Wound, cut from the flesh of totality - deep, it severed the line of future and past. Drawn to its ancient fester, gods swarmed as flies to a corpse. We waited within bloodless veins, faithful to that which we could not know - unable to imagine that we might become their greater. Here, we slept - until our souls became flesh. Sone Alku Yaldabaoth is portrayed as both destroyer and incidental creator, "feeding" upon gods and stars and "exhaling life". Life is thus a natural byproduct of the God-Eater's existence; unguided by intelligence and spreading through a process not entirely dissimilar from panspermia. Foot note 18: The theory that life exists and is distributed throughout the universe in the form of germs or spores that develop in the right environment. "Blind" and driven solely by instinct, Yaldabaoth is depicted as being accompanied by six otherworldly entities known as "Archons" (or "Vultaas" among certain Proto-Sarkic cults). These beings are described by Sarkic texts as faceless manifestations of primordial chaos, their true forms inconceivable to the human mind. Gnostic and Mekhanite scripture would mention the Archons as well, describing them as "terrible and rapacious angels". The swineherd prostrated himself before the Sorcerer-King and asked, "Great Sorcerer-King and Ozi̮rmok, Heart of Man and Light of Lights. I speak for the folk of the cold-marsh. We fear the red lanterns that dance without harmony; our spirit-guides warn of ill omens." And Ion did assure the man, "I have gazed upon the Faceless Ones, servitors of His Undulating Vastness. Their chief is blind - castrated by our words and will. He sings songs of anarchy but they will not come again. These terrible spirits do not deserve our love; render unto them no sacrifice until the stars have aligned." Sone Vith "The Six Ordeals of Ion" refers to six challenges issued to Ion by the Archons. Through enduring their trials, Ion is said to have mastered the rituals and practices ubiquitous to Sarkicism - breaking free from the "bondage" of mortal limitations. Further information about Ion's relationship with Yaldabaoth and his Archons (as well as the nature of the "Ordeals") remains unknown. Foot note 19: Although relevant sones are believed to be recorded within the Eluvanklaas, a known but unrecovered Sarkic grimoire. And to his flock, Ion thus spoke: "I have stepped beyond the Floe of Dreams; stood before the Old Ones within their own desolate domain. I have endured their intolerable force, across countless eons. I have seen the infinite dead worlds, murdered death herself. I have read the entrails of our Creator, beheld eternity unfurled. Know that our paradise draws near. And with our own flesh shall we birth it. Sone Skaal.

God's Withered and Dried-up Barley Harvest Pointing to the Date of the RAPTURE of the Church!
in the Baltic Sea bubbles caused by a mega underwater gas leak filmed by the Danish military the gas is escaping from three points on Russia's nordstream Pipelines the mysterious damage seemingly happening just hours apart if uh if Russia invades that means tanks or troops Crossing the the border of Ukraine again then there will be uh we there will be no longer a Norse team too we we will bring an end to it what do what how would you how will you do that exactly since the project and control of the project is within Germany's control we will uh I promise you we'll be able to do it we do not yet know the details of what happened at Nordstrom but we can clearly see that it is an act of sabotage an act that probably marks the next stage in the escalation of the situation we are dealing with in Ukraine so the Feast of trumpets is behind us and many are asking what now and why are we still here I would like to give a quick update to encourage those who are watching with me for our bridegroom's return looking back at history we know that 2022 is a shemitah year in 2015 the world not only witnessed the rare blood moon tetrad after the understanding of these counter light around 2012 but this also marked seven years of plenty that followed with stock markets reaching highs in the seven years that followed that were never seen before in E stream seven years before 2015 in 2008 we had the financial crisis associated with cheap credit and lacks leaning standards that field a housing bubble another seven years before that we had 9 11 in 2001 marking the start of people's freedoms being taken away so it is pretty easy to see the seven year shmita Cycles when we consider recent history what may be a little more difficult to identify are the Jubilee years that follow every seventh shmeter cycle and 2022 and 2023 would seem to Mark the start of a jubilee year now when it comes to Jubilee years it is important to know that things play out a little differently in these than with the 49 years that preceded them and I would like to show you what God's word has to say about them and how these are also connected to the biblical Harvest which I discuss in many videos the Hebrew New Year of Rosh Hashanah is announced on the Feast of trumpets and we read about that in the following Passage speak unto the children of Israel's saying in the seventh months in the first day of the month shall ye have a Sabbath a memorial of blowing of trumpets and holy convocation what I find interesting is that the instructions regarding our Heavenly father's feast days are found in the same chapter where the Harvest model is explained to us showing us that for us to correctly understand the feasts of the lord we also need to understand God's harvests so a new year is announced on the first day of the seventh month but for a jubilee year the Year of Jubilee is not announced on the first day of the month but on the 10th day which is also the day of atonement and this only happening on a jubilee year it is also interesting to see how the Jubilee year is announced and it is explained to us in the following Passage and thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee seven times seven years and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee 40 and nine years then shall thou cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land and you shall howl the 50th year and Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof it shall be a jubilee unto you and ye shall return every man unto his possession and ye shall return every man unto his family so when it comes to a jubilee year a final trumpet is sounded on the day of atonement to announce the Year of Jubilee and this may very well be the last Trump that Paul refers to in First Corinthians 15 which also explains to us how those who are part of the first resurrection can be identified when we understand God's Harvest model what is further interesting to note is that God's word tells us about the Feast of booths or Tabernacles starting five days after the day of atonement or in a jubilee year five days after the trumpet sounded that announced the Jubilee Year have a look at this and the Lord spake unto Moses saying Speak unto the children of Israel saying the 15th day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord also in the 15th day of the seventh month when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land you shall keep a feast unto the Lord's seven days on the first day shall be a Sabbath and on the Eighth Day shall be a Sabbath in verse 39 of Leviticus 23 the day is associated with the completion of harvest which means that the owner of a field would have gathered in his Harvest before the 15th of this month and based on what we read in other books of God's word our redeemers in gathering of his Harvest is associated with the trumpet blast that on a jubilee year would point us to the day of atonement that Harvest event is described to us in Revelation 14 where the following is written and I looked and behold a white cloud and upon the cloud one sat like unto the son of man having on his head a Golden Crown and in his hand a sharp sickle and another angel came out of the temple crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud thrust in thy sickle and reap for the time has come for thee to reap for the Harvest of the earth is ripe and he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the Earth and the Earth was reaped what is very interesting about this passage is that the word that is used for ripe actually means withered away and I've shared in two previous videos about the vision in which Linda Courtney was shown the withered portion of God's Harvest being removed from the earth while the healthy plants were left behind if you have not seen these yet you are welcome to watch these two videos so what does it mean when God's word shows us that the Harvest that he is about to harvest is dried up and withered away well is this not the condition of plants that one would expect to see standing in the field when the former delays gathering in his crop our only father explains to us in his word that he will wait longer than one would expect to gather in those that belong to him be patient therefore Brethren under the coming of the Lord behold the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth and have long patience for it until he received the early and latter Reign be ye also patient establish your hearts for the coming of the Lord drawth nigh when we consider the early rains and how these were poured out over God's Harvest we can also understand how the latter rains will be poured out because there is a repeating pattern involved I have discussed this in a previous video specifically this one and I would recommend that you watch it in the little time that remains if you have not seen it yet suffice to say that those who will be part of the Rapture will also represent the latter rain just as the first fruits of this Harvest represented the early range that prepared the early Harvest for the first outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the same way the remainder of the Harvest or the strong plants or the gleanings will be prepared by the latter rain for the next outpouring of the Holy Spirit as well as for the tribulation that will follow even though it may be shortened so from what I see from God's word and I could of course be wrong we have a window of time between September 30th and October 5th depending on the calendar that one uses in which the Trump of God could sound and where the dead in Christ will be resurrected and those who are alive and who belong to Jesus will be changed and caught up into heaven these will then be returned to the Earth for a time to work the remainder of the Harvest before finally ascending into heaven before God's judgment is poured out over this world this will follow the same pattern of Jesus and those who were resurrected with him who appeared unto many in Jerusalem for 40 days before they ascended into heaven as the first fruits of God's Harvest and leading to the persecution of the early church that started right after that and the graves were opened and many bodies of the Saints which slept a rose and came out of the graves after his resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared unto many this appearance unto many by those who receive their glorified bodies and who represent the first fruits of the Harvest prepared the early Harvest for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost the latter rain will be poured out over the gleanings in a similar way but will in this instance no longer be limited to Jerusalem only it will cover the entire world and will see Revival at a scale never witnessed before on the Earth if we look at the situation in the world right now we can see that we are getting very close to the next World War breaking out just yesterday the north stream pipelines were sabotaged and even this has been shown to us through predictive programming as being part of the enemy's plan on this cover of The Economist magazine for the world in 2019 we see Putin's pipelines being mentioned Written In Reverse but this is all part of our enemy's plan to bring about a situation in the world that will allow the Antichrist to step forward earlier this year the U.S pointed out that if Russia invited Ukraine they would ensure that the pipelines are taken out of the equation and one has to wonder then who is behind the attacks on the pipelines that occurred yesterday if uh if Russia invades that means tanks or troops crossing the uh the the border of Ukraine again then uh there will be uh we there will be no longer a Norse team too we we will bring an end to it the first leak was reported on the never opened nordstream two line on Monday east of the island of born home then on Tuesday two leaks were found on the nearby nordstream one with Swedish scientists detecting explosions we know very well what an underwater blast looks like and so in this case there's no doubt this is not an earthquake this is a blast that has been occurring in the watercolor more close to the bottom in addition Russia just concluded a referendum in the Eastern territories of Ukraine to determine whether those territories should be annexed and become part of Russia and from the results presented it would seem that there is no other option but to Annex these territories Russia has also stated that if these territories are annexed that nuclear Doctrine would apply to them and any attack on these by others would be seen as attacks on Russia itself and could invoke the use of unconventional weapons of mass destruction against those attackers I think you will agree with me that it is just a matter of days at this point before we see a serious escalation in the ongoing conflicts around the world but specifically those involving Russia given the events that have occurred over the past few days as we continue to watch I hope that this will encourage those who have decided to patiently wait for the return of Our Redeemer no matter the cost or severity of the attacks that they have to endure just as in the days of Noah in this late hour many are still scoffing and mocking but will soon realize that they wasted the many opportunities provided to get into the ark that would have protected them from what is coming but even this has been shown to us in God's word and so it has to be this is probably the last warning to change the path that you are on if you are one of those who love to scoff and to mock at those who are waiting for the return of their bridegroom I look forward to seeing all of my brothers and sisters in Christ in the air before our savior really soon and if we have to wait a little longer then that is fine too God bless [Music]

late i s all I wasn't able to do it rainbow was just sitting there waiting he's like yeah I'm totally getting in yep i'll just leave as soon as the letter arrived yeah said you know she sometimes fakes confidence yeah but I don't think she was this time to Ashley yell I'm totally getting angie's good also I look beautiful that cliff how does that even happen and left it's perfect spot for Academy also Wonderbolts equal Blue Angels do that that's the other thing I whatever they're like pony push you got their wings like that or bumblebee therefore their forelegs yeah that count is a push-up or a squat that's one thing I've always thought they'd literally just got off all the bags so right next to them yep how did um bulging biceps get into this oh she looks so sick she's really good at crushing hopes and dreams this yeah it's the army or the the air for it I should say yeah nothing yeah like how did he even get into this house he had to have a lot of magic for that yeah I to start flying in order to nice s is that a challenge I wish she would have been nicer she would have made a good character be on me yeah well she is her job to be mean right now they're like Flay row in the Lightning da start like flying in formation yeah it's nice oh so fast nope see lightning does station bring lightning dust back she's cool and then suddenly they're moving really slowly yeah it's like it's so funny when they do that because they weren't actually going there full speed the whole time is what that means well it's called pace yourself until the very last lap genius ah good what happened to lightning dust yeah that's what I was saying whoa bring her pinky's mailbox is scary pinky's like oh this scene is it's in there now is it a magic mailbox I know I don't think it is that's the thing it's not receive it pinky logic I think that's you and then the world wand somehow oh no makes a pretty good point refuse me though if she keeps going by that logic somehow the world will end somewhere in that train of thought Vanessa paying so much attention say yeah yeah feel like I've seen one of those somewhere in real life just not up and down like uh huh game show or something nope not you rainbow it wasn't dumb I volunteer thing it was a rhetorical question don't make her impatient why does this have to be gears that that's design is no completely that's what that's like how is that keeping you're strapped in it's got in perfectly she's holding on really tight i guess you know i'd be useful if i was like some how strapped are all under body and then they detach yeah but if it was really like that she would have flown out way sooner exactly like she would have to slide out cuz it was like spinning that's what I said it's not keeping her held in juice decent if 15 seconds is yeah she's just going left or right obviously that's what I was saying it's a rhetorical question see they would fall out for it's like lightning dust is like yes now I have something that I have to be it that's a heavier kansan and thus the what a great meme was born that good she has the advantage as learning from the previous do you even know what maximum speed looks like it was like way worse than you thought it was and then you what if it accidentally released them at the wrong time I know you feel like splat oh gosh oh no sweat and ER that's not a noise that I want to be thinking about in that context you said it about everything yeah that's like I reminds me of droopy that's cuz it's the same design without recolor yeah nice they just assume that they're gonna be together but yes it makes sense but I still say rainbow should have been lean pony it woulda made more sense this could have been wait this could have turned out way better if rainbow would have been lead pony well yeah yeah you're right it actually would have made it would have been way better cuz what do you mean come on us is the reckless one and if rainbow would have been the leader then she could have directed lightning just to not be blast anyone no way better wow that is the best process for signing and ever how can you even tell that's her hope she's autographing people yeah you think she'd have a that pony on the left was just like good job you just got ink all over your glasses they should have like oh sorry what I'm just thinking of my graphic design class no don't mind you should I agree with you a little too far that was your mistake nice three so it's like capture the flag totally no this isn't a game you know now the point of this game you can have fun and to train at the same time right that's the thing that you can do nice the e or should have been disqualified yeah yeah when I first watched as I actually thought you're just gonna be this qualified yeah how about it no oh good job what if she couldn't have flown out of that cavern and just sort of fell they would have been disqualified and she would have been hurt like really badly yeah that I berries she's been learning from Apple tank yep seriously she hears everything everything yep it's so weird she's a unicorn right now oh yeah oh yeah just saying spoiler warning what for people who haven't yeah you should not be watching our I think we've already said that we have said this you should not be watching our commentaries if you've not already seen up like season 5 yeah please yeah the male's to solve the male is too unreliable because it's somehow they got the letter right before she actually had to be there or art or that explanation oh no she just needed an excuse to say that of course there need you gonna need clot marking my light uh I can bit my lip oh good job famous how that how come I've never heard of it before sure oh geez oh yeah yes Israel they're just like yeah right it's not a race I'm your mark yeah it's like it's not a race why are you making everyone go at the same time would it be easier to judge them if they are all going sup really up above yeah there's like I'm sorry my three dimensions yeah height your boss fight fires my nevermind loop-de-loop we gotta pause before we go through this hoop guys come on way it ok now let's go what are you people in a 2d cartoon wait what they are two dimensions except three dimensions ah so you see a moment to pass them and you just smack right through them why gotta be so rude don't you know their ponies too that's it why was she timing them she just hide it what she had an idea yeah you're right she probably likes poor timing you yeah she was probably only timing them the purposes of checking whether it's an academy record Wow not give Academy heard Wes we're the norm everything's Academy record now no just everything Rainbow Dash does they're also not supposed to be rude to everyone hey really yeah kind of but not entirely see she would be a good character to bring back and like teacher stuff about friendship being nice to people or something I actually I'm actually not sure though what you would do is like think of something they made sure there was extra clouds in the sky 10 Rockets flag guys go yeah yeah it's like a video game pinball oh yeah what come on what competition would that be yeah that's may I ask Blaine Spitfire yeah he right I think yeah we can all told you this would have been way better free boy had been leid phony okay now break out of it guys just let it do its damage no they're controlling it yeah that's the thing there to tell you oh well they're not controlling it yeah that was the point if they are controlling it then watch that Bobby it's like the title sequence except different of course loj have to be the one talking of course cuz you know like cuz you know southern sturdy gonna wake up in um Kansas not Kansas dad up and not Kansas in the drinkie for Ponyville be the pony / or equivalent you can't wake up also did you know there was a tunnel down there I don't know I guess I guess you're getting your for shooting training here for a while also really thick cloud yes that's still water and dust you know just saying yeah there's still water and dust no matter how come and flourish I'm the education oh yeah that's a good point and that's a good point that's hilarious you remember my name from very much why do we just like yeah yeah love Bullock biceps faces no Bruce today no roots today cuz you can't take kill ya Rudy's the only one that's mad up with all their friends yeah rarity of kind of like do not know this is your but this is so good though that's a gammy record no duh once again can't fake killed took out we get because we can't say kill or death stop calling her a newbie she's obviously just as good if not better than you when does anyone ever quit the Wonderbolts academy repos oligo the scene over so good on a flight school and now she's like this one here Academy she didn't get kicked out she dropped out by herself but she's gonna keep the uniform yeah I'm keeping your uniform though how dare you sad face once again we all went to another i guess thanks folder yeah obviously I got expelled also just pointing out that hurt the Wonderbolt the wonderful outfit matches her mane and as the same yellow color that's her yeah right I'm just saying it was just to me this time why what do you what 20 laps I guess oh it also matches her blue color yeah that too what's that I was saying yeah like I in right there I couldn't even tell where Rainbow Dash's fur and what turn your head oh looks like I got pretty smashed so I wouldn't I wouldn't gosh so wait what happened to Rainbow Dash and the wonderful to me I don't know the trainer and that was that yeah yes grating things so I never lost Academy if not to get into the wonderful ok good your train now get out of my face yeah Oh which we finish you graduated congratulations yeah well give my we're giving a certificate you can leave and I guess like I said it's like the Air Force there the blue angels or whatever I know buddy grant silly so rainbow graduated from the Academy but did commit but didn't get into the wonderful I don't know well you're not exactly looking for people ponies to be maybe it's just maybe she's in the reserve well I later on she becomes part of losers yeah yeah I don't know whatever okay then gonna figure this out an equally yep hey so watching this episode with us we'll see you guys next time bye

T. REX VS CHESS GOING DOWN ON URL HOMECOMING..... HE GOT AWAY WITH IT BUT WILL HE GET AWAY WITH IT❓❓
don't fumble this [ __ ] don't need to eat he don't need to drink he don't need to do [ __ ] for two days before the battle he don't need to do [ __ ] listen listen what the [ __ ] I'm saying here this [ __ ] don't need to do nothing but drink half a cup of Gatorade not even Gatorade have Gatorade on the side power a and drink ginger ale room temperature with crackers before the battle that's all the [ __ ] can have get this [ __ ] yo who the [ __ ] brought this [ __ ] Pizza in here is all I want to know who the who got pepperoni pizza in here was it NOS get the pizza out of here we not having no pizza at the [ __ ] event for this [ __ ] I don't want him up here with no damn pizza choking and stumbling on my damn stageing like that hit his area with 51 everything in the v f and I feel like recap this so all y'all want to know what happened I'm going tell you what happened he got smoke kick the hole in the game before multiple views by Tommy gone got to be strong when you popping the paparazzi for SL singing in your local pring like he got away with it but he ain't get away with it you already know what it is man salute to the subscribers that notification gang etc etc don't let none of that get too far ahead you know who I be foll me on _ fly tell your mama I said H shout out to the notification gang and everybody watching this content whether religiously or in passing you know what I'm saying make sure you subscribe to the channel that's the best way to stay in tuned with all the latest content as I previously mentioned we do have an interview with Tay Roc coming out this Friday on fox5ny y.com you can check it on the website you can check it on the channel and fox 5ny does have an app they usually drop around 5 5:30 I will let you guys know so you can see and then we have a overtime interview which I'm probably going to drop on patreon and start a members and start drop it there there first and you guys will see it all everything's on the way but url url is back their homecoming card is coming they just dropped another announcement today I'm glad I'm glad this announcement actually came out because when I checked my timeline a few minutes ago all I see is easy and John John going back and forth posting videos clips Snippets John John's telling him post your girl he's saying I'll post my girl and it's like your business is my business is my business my all of the angles and [ __ ] that they're probably going to talk about I'm glad that URL came out with Rex versus chess because I really don't give a [ __ ] about talking about none of that [ __ ] today so I did not want to have to deal with talking and breaking down these two [ __ ] going back with their promotion and [ __ ] like that for they battle so good I don't want to it is what it is um so rex versus chess I heard about this battle a couple weeks ago uh obviously Rex was at the face off chess was at the face off and that's how you could kind of tell here's a little way you can tell some some of the people that be on these cards if you see someone at a face off or on the cameras when Uncle Ry and them is around and they haven't been announced on a card but it's an artist and it's not from the city if they're in that City that they're in it's probably a reason why they're there you know what I'm saying Rex is at the face off why is he there if he doesn't have one Asar mean is at Asar mean is at the face off does he have a battle on home you see what I'm saying this way easier to find out chess I see chess walking why is chess at the face offs if he doesn't have a battle B him and rex have a battle coming up um here's the deal Rex we know about Rex them shotgun shells is red and lime green when I'm squeezed like Gucci crime scene we know about Chess uh if I was looking at this battle coming into it first of all everybody's going to say you know chess is going to choke you know what I mean like that's just the way it is I mean the narratives make themselves you know what I'm saying chess I will say historically in big stage battles normally the in the past couple years the only one that he really really got super super memorable in was the easy to block Captain performance other than that he's been on big stages he's lost John John lost Calico lost I could just keep going through a lot of these big stage battles that he has and he doesn't win you know he say it's coming it's coming I I you already know that's G damn there guarantee if I was to do uh the plus minus on FanDuel if battle rap had a FanDuel I would put my money on it that moment is going to come the acid reflux that [ __ ] is on the way so you know with knowing that you know URL and and people have been saying this for a little minute that chess has like unlimited chances on URL like he can [ __ ] up he's going to be back you already know he's going to be back you know he's back to see him homecoming I'm not going to take away or diminish his talent say he's not nice or he doesn't get busy or he can't you know what I'm saying show up when in a moment's notice and bring three fire rounds but consistently I think I saw him in his last joint versus swervo he was still stumbling and choking in that [ __ ] too you know what I'm saying so I don't see like if I'm betting on this battle if I'm going with a winner you know what I'm saying that's why I'm not SP is not even here I'm just going to go me personally I'm going with Rex because Rex at least one thing I do know mixtape and all mixtape bars is something we got to deal with I already know that you know what I'm saying that's why he was so ready to rap against as you did the ace I mean you ain't my Ace I mean I had a spade on the table that made it the ace I mean he would have had all of that [ __ ] would been mixted the [ __ ] up that's why I'm glad and Ace Ace I mean I'm glad you didn't rap out there in that street now that I think about it them [ __ ] was about to line you the [ __ ] up you was going to get lined up the a I mean you ain't my a I mean already I can hear I can hear this [ __ ] in my mind um thises chess has the talent to beat Rex like if he come and it's the thing about Chess there too many people say if the if the if I hate using the word if if Factor if he's at 100% when being at 100% is supposed to be a job I don't like he I think it has to be something medically wrong because chess's running mate or the person that he [ __ ] with the most or one of the people that he rocks with is rock and rock preparation is everything he talks about his preparation in the um interview that we have coming up in the next couple days and his preparation be A1 like he locks in he knows bar for bar for ball forwards backwards up down left right Rock don't slip don't stumble never you know if he has like 60 battles rock may have a slip or something in one or two of them you know what I'm saying like literally if I think of the last years and years and years when Ro is slipped or stumbled it's probably like once or twice but chess he gets a lot of big names on big stages big battles and we get this you know what I'm saying shotgun sh I could just think of him I can think of too many performances as to where it would probably be conducive and I'm from the oh my God I'm from the Bronx and I got to pick a hul of [ __ ] I got to [ __ ] pick a hul of [ __ ] and I'm from the Bronx this [ __ ] hurts my heart it hurts my so Bronx [ __ ] don't fall I'm supposed to pick the Bronx every time but not in this regard I just what can I say you know what I mean like I think it'll be it has potential to be a good battle but there certain battles that all the narratives and all of the ideas and all of the thought processes and premises that we have going into it are exactly the same with chess it's literally is he going to have three rounds with no choking that like when I'm watching this battle he's just start doing damn and he starts doing the damn and start hitting himself and [ __ ] like you already know that [ __ ] is coming I hope it doesn't like I'm not up here hoping that that I'm not here to complain I'm here to explain if you look at chess's big stage battles right the big names on big stages it's a lot of the times where we have these issues where it's been a choke or a stumble it has been it literally has been in those circumstances and when with that being said I think we have to look at it from that perspective and I ain't going to jump in there and I'm I'm about to um I'm pulling up his uh his app you know what I'm saying to see some of the battles that I may have forgot his record on the app is 9 and 10 uh let's see what battles they have him uh winning and losing uh winning and losing on the app in the app Arrow loo was a small room got him a win K chaos small room got him a win easy to Black C debatable you know what I'm saying and as far as the reactions go they have easy in all of the reactions you know what I'm saying like first second and third like 2.9 to two it was a great battle though easy versus chess is not a battle that I use as far as in correspondence to my decision-making uh he had jackboy on band uh Jack boy on band that was a band B I think it was the one round to Joint he had Calico Calico you know what I'm saying um so they had Jack booy beating him had Calico beating him on a big stage shotgun Shooks Summer Madness 12 destroyed him on a big stage safair Soul they had him losing in the small room he was choking and stumbling and [ __ ] in that uh he had Saint they have him winning Tink the demon they have him winning Chilla Jones they have him winning MCM app exclusive MCM won that battle but uh they really didn't show no love you wasn't they wasn't really showing MC myin no love whatsoever like because only I [ __ ] with M myin but I think he's branded himself so much on different leagues that certain [ __ ] once they brand themselves a lot L like that's like a [ __ ] like shotty P they've known him for years and years and years on King of the dot king of the dot king of dot if he ever made his way to URL in some of them rooms [ __ ] might not just cuz you wear the same Jersey they might not look at you as on the same team it is what it is I we do what we got to do um just calling it like I call it so I can't spoil it um so they like all the app battles that chess has is on big stages they have them losing you know what I'm saying like Calico shotgun Su you know what I'm saying like these battles and and there more hold on there more app wa whoa whoa scroll back scroll back uh the first app event they got him beat no red John John was Genesis John John cleared him B magic beat him on the app kshan beat him on the app uh Jack boy Calico shotgun I don't I what am I I don't even have to go through all of this you you [ __ ] know y' [ __ ] know my handle you know what I do you know what I'm saying I'm not going to sit here I would never embellish a story and act like uh the reason why I feel like Rex is going to win his not the reason why I feel like one is going to show up have three rounds guaranteed the other one is probably in the first or the second you know minus 250 a little minus 250 if if it was FanDuel um probably going to choke you know mean and and we just going to to deal with it it's happen so much now that I wouldn't be a fool to think that so with uh rex on the app only battles he got on the app is uh easy I had easy winning that and he had rum nitty I had NY winning that um um but when it comes to [ __ ] like moo Rex serious hold on hold the [ __ ] wait a second with them three [ __ ] on the card M moo Lux serus Jones oh my [ __ ] God you know what I'm saying homecoming besides all that them retiring I'm the illest [ __ ] on this car Rex Rex will show off at home I guarantee you Rex will show off at home and the thing is I feel like a lot of the fans The Nostalgia fans the oldheads the you know the timbering [ __ ] the do-rags the shop cheese [ __ ] the [ __ ] that buy the Luc SE from the corner and [ __ ] [ __ ] that take the the two train up town them [ __ ] that's on the MTA with the [ __ ] Metro Car them [ __ ] who's working them jobs them [ __ ] that been around forever really really really still [ __ ] with re I promise you I know [ __ ] who they don't even know nothing about they don't watch battle rap like that they don't be in the battle rap like that or none of that [ __ ] but when Rex do some [ __ ] or moo do some [ __ ] or Lux do some [ __ ] Them [ __ ] be all in so that's the reason why I'm edging it to um to Rex I got Rex 21 uh I feel like chess's first round he might have some [ __ ] I feel like he could he could really get busy in the building now no now listen all bets are off if chess don't choke don't stumble don't fumble this [ __ ] don't need to eat he don't need to drink he don't need to do [ __ ] for two days before the battle he don't need to do [ __ ] listen listen to what the [ __ ] I'm saying here this [ __ ] don't need to do nothing but drink half a cup of Gatorade not even Gatorade have Gatorade on the side power a and drink ginger ale room temperature with crackers before the battle that's all the [ __ ] can have get this [ __ ] yo who the [ __ ] brought this [ __ ] Pizza in here is all I want to know who the who got pepperoni pizza in here was it NOS get the pizza out of here we're not having no pizza at the [ __ ] event for this [ __ ] I don't want him up here with no damn pizza choking and stumbling on my damn stage yo this [ __ ] could only have crackers and water before the event I swear to God if y'all [ __ ] give this [ __ ] anything else I'm going have a problem with all y'all [ __ ] straight up no pizza at the Vue I don't want no pizza no wings no no M&M's make sure this [ __ ] has crackers in water if you got cracker if y'all if you listen to me you listen to me I got myself this [ __ ] fall if you listen to me whoever's booking these [ __ ] uh who's booking who's doing the booking over there now I don't [ __ ] know no ain't around no more get this [ __ ] some crackers and water and make sure this [ __ ] don't eat nothing the day before and then I got him 2 one but if y'all got this [ __ ] got dominoes and Pizza Hut I got Rex three I'm not [ __ ] with you I ain't doing it you know what I'm saying I put my money invest in this [ __ ] a lot and I'm the Lost bread [ __ ] with this [ __ ] I ain't doing it this time I got Rex 2-1 you know what I'm saying shotgun shells red lme green when I'm squeez like Gucci crime scene them the [ __ ] the the the the clicking the cling to get the sounded like flipflops I don't be know Rex rapping about half the time but it doesn't [ __ ] matter he's still one of the goats you know what I'm saying and this is just my personal opinion you know what I'm saying I'm not one of Rex's favor people I remember Rex hit me yo I was at max out right and I'm sitting there talking to froze and Big K is there and [ __ ] Rex text me and [ __ ] while I'm on the live stream I'm like [ __ ] what you think I'm supposed to do I'm supposed to change how I feel about Rex my [ __ ] but I just like Del I just put my phone a [ __ ] talking about I'm on the stream I'm supposed to [ __ ] change my [ __ ] nah [ __ ] Caleb Williams [ __ ] still passing shout out um

⊕ MW3 Multiplayer: Skewed the community, ft iTz Padwani - WAY ➚
yo guys what's going on this is itz pad wanting for tgn and i'm bringing you a game of 6v6 domination on interchange i believe i am like a quarter through my eighth prestige in this video so this is about like two weeks old i've had it in my vault i've just kind of hoarded videos of my boat and recorded everything at the same time and i just kind of picked for random because they're all about 10 minutes long anyways i'm using the red dot ak with uh dual fmgs this is before um the patch recently and i just missed the first blood triple spray if i threw that nade a little later i probably would have got it uh slot of hand quick try i can never remember the name of quickdraw and dead sounds my perks i'm using motion sensor or portable radar and symtex for my equipment and um ump emp play stealth bomber and eventuality for my kill streaks now today i'm gonna i'm gonna try to dabble upon a couple things and if i don't get to everything i'll most likely put it into a second video uh so first i'm gonna talk about is pretty much what this game has kind of skewed the call of duty community into becoming and then the second thing which depending on what i cover may just go into the second video is like the future of call of duty and you know what may or may not be coming with like future titles of call of duty if we get future titles so you know going into this um you know first week the game came out everyone knew that the spawns were terrible spawns are still terrible uh and like the spawning system at first i thought it was a visual based spawning system so if there's a spawn there and like you're not looking at the person then they're going to spawn there like you obviously can't see through walls so you know if you're looking at a spawn but you're looking for like at a wall and the spawns are inside the wall they're still going to spawn there but if you're sitting there looking at a you know a spawn like in like you're sitting in a corner the other spawns in the in a corner across them and you're looking at that corner nine times a bit they're not gonna spawn there uh now what i've learned is the spawning in this game is a like revenge spawn system so they're gonna try to spawn you as close to the person that just killed you as possible and jeremy just picked up a nice triple feed with that msr he always snipes useless jeremy i'm kidding but it's it it's still skewed and the reason is that you shouldn't have to spawn right next to the guy that just killed you by default the game should try to spawn you on the other goddamn side of the whatever map you're on unless it's dome because the dome of spawning is just like newtown it's gonna be [ __ ] terrible no matter how you set the response on that map but for all the other maps it should spawn you like way the [ __ ] away from the person that just killed you far away from everyone else like there should be like what they did in black ops the spawning of black ops i never complained about because when i played free fall or whatever game they wouldn't spawn people right up your ass when you kill them and that's something that should be in in every game i mean unless they're attacking starting no one should be spawning next to you and the spawns in this game have turned a lot of people in monolith 3 and the campers one because of the perks because blind eye assassin dead silence is stupidly overpowered and i made a video about this probably a month ago from 103. i did a tricom with me my buddy devin and the hirsch hd um and we did a tricom like i said on this setup and we called it the invisible perk set up and it was like it was immune to like 16 or 17 kill streaks between support and a strike and you know like it there's no counter to it the only the only counter to this setup is the recon drone if if you have blind eye assassin and dead silence the only way to see someone with with uh assassin is to get a is to get a retunder and tag them and my dog is clawing at my door go away and you know if they're blind eye up there they're not going to show up on your uh on your radar to tag but when they do get tagged they're going to run around that little red dot so that's the that's the one counter in the game to assassin in order to get it one you have to run support two you have to be running that kill streak and that kill streak especially like in free for all doesn't do anything like a lot of people use it in you know team games like dom and stuff and it's one of the it's one of the better my dog is gonna like break my door down it's one of the better kill streaks in team games because you do get a lot of points for me um but you know i like rolling the higher the higher ones because they do help my team a lot more like emp and uh advanced uav shouldn't be able to be countered by assassin they should do what they did for black ops how you know everyone [ __ ] about cold-blooded but there was at least a counter to cold-blooded or not called a ghost and that counter was blackbird that's why i like the black one black ops because you know you called it in and it showed you the the cardinal direction of the person as well as where they were regardless of what first perk they had and i mean i'm not i'm not one of running assassin i do run it during specialists because it's either you know i get it at two i get it four i get it six or i get it at eight i'm gonna get it at some point i might as well just cut my losses and get it at two because you know free for all people do like to uh to just train with uh uavs uh advanced movies and counter uavs but i'm going off on a tangent here now but you know this you know this setup coupled with the spawning has made it so people are more lazy when they want to get kills and they'd rather have the person come to them than run around and try to kill people which you know and logic seems acceptable because you know someone someone watching this video is saying yeah well you know it's better to have the person come to you than get shot and killed by the person that that you're running to which is true but it shouldn't have the extent of you know everyone on the team you know camping you know camping corners or whatever because they're afraid to run and gun like you know i'm a pure running gunner i've been appearing under since like halfway through mw2 and i swear to god my dog is gonna like just barge through my door at some point i'm gonna go out there it's gonna be [ __ ] chunks of wood taken out but you know i've been a running gunner since i'm in monorail for two and you know i find that a legitimate play style and you know i'm not saying camping isn't a legitimate play style but it's a less legitimate play style than running running like there's a difference between camping and defending defending it would be like okay so what i'm doing right now i'm defending the i died but i'm defending b i'm trying to defend me i'm not camping b because we own it and they're trying to get it if i was camping a point say you know if i'm just sitting on c waiting for people i would say that's camping because you know they're not really trying to go for c but you know the the point i'm trying to make is the way that they made the game has made people want to camp it's made people be afraid of dying which you know in a video game you shouldn't be afraid of dying because you know you're obviously going to respond but it's it's in the sense of the way they die is because of the spawns in the game because they spawn people right up your ass after you die it's making people think okay well you know if i'm sitting in a corner no one's going to spawn behind me you know i'm not going to get shot in the back unless this kid has like some [ __ ] some some aimbot or rather wallhack or whatever and you know that that is true if you do camp you can that's the that's the only way in this game to counter the spawns and you know it's getting to the point where the spawns are bad enough where i actually saw a video on dome you know like i said dome spawns are terrible anyways but this kid got spawned killed eight times in a row off his spawn like you know like the second he his feet hit the ground he was dead eight or nine times in a row and don't buy this the same kid like that that shouldn't be acceptable anywhere on any map in any game like something seriously has to be done about this and you know they stated that they listen to their community which in extent is true and we just i don't know why we just do captain uh domination but you know they took out all the [ __ ] that we didn't like in in modern warfare 2 which is you know one man army um noob tubes being retardedly excessive uh what else did they think of uh they took out last stay and they but you know they left death streaks in which is a topic for another day because death streaks are stupid in general but you know they they left in um strike packages being able to stack with other you know other strike packages which is stupid because you know you're going to have joshua over here you know camping behind whatever [ __ ] thing like a little boy scout going for his kill streaks which a lot of people do like nine times out of ten when i play free-for-all the only time i legitimately lose a game of free for all is when i have this this kid camping in the back of whatever bath with strike packages because you know me being me i you know i will be well specialist so i don't have the the pleasure of having other kill streaks not because i don't want want to because i refuse for legitimate kill streaks and free for all because you know they said that this game should focus more on gun and gun action which i i totally agree with them this game should be all about gun and gun action if you use if you use kill streaks to get your kills especially strike kill streaks and you roll like payloads attack choppers because attack choppers are aggressive as [ __ ] in this game and you know all those op uh strike package kill streaks and and you know you you run around talking that you're good you're really not you know if if you rely on on anything but your gun to get kills then you you need to seriously rethink the way you play uh now i am running out of time so i am going to save um the other topic for uh another video which is you know like like i said like where this game is going to be heading in the next couple years like the future of call of duty i never went on the other team left because we're a boss but i am itc padwoni for tgn don't forget to sub to tj fps i am out of here peace

A Better Mental Model for Rollups, Plasma, and Validating Bridges by Patrick McCorry
foreign [Music] hi everyone my name is Patrick McCory and today I'm going to hopefully come across or give across a better mental model for Roll-Ups and bridges so just before I begin Has anyone used the roll up Has anyone used like are most people here are awesome and when you used it like did you feel like it was like more secure than using coinbase or hey read your hand if you think it's secure maybe that's a good phrase only one person that's great uh okay um so hopefully by the end of this you'll have a good idea of what it means for these systems to be secure and whether they're actually secure or not is a whole different world so the whole point of uh Roll-Ups and everything we're trying to build is really just Bridge engineering all we're building are bridges so let's consider the coinbius bridge your own ethereum you lock your phones into this bridge and then it magically appears on coinbase you're going coinbase you transfer your assets you buy some coins you sell some coins you lose some money you make some money and then eventually you want to get your coins back to ethereum and so your ping coinbase and say coinbase let me withdraw my 1000 eighth because I'm a wheel and then what you'll imagine is that coinbase will send a message to the bridge they say Bridge let Alice withdraw her 1000 eighth now from the perspective of the bridge the bridge has to be convinced that Alice is entitled to this 1000 eighth so how does the bridge check this in the Columbia's example the bridge will just blindly trust coinbase if coinbius says Alice is entitled to one thousand eight then Alice will get her 1000 each and then it gets sent off and we're all very happy now generically speaking what's happening in this type of interaction generically there's this all chain database the OMG and database records the account balances the program State the program smart contract code you know everything that a database you probably have but most importantly it's recording the liabilities of the system if you have 10 coins in the database then your owed 10 coins from the bridge and the bridge has the assets and the whole point of these rule Ops or these layer tree systems is to guarantee that the Assets in the bridge can cover the liabilities in this off-chain system and so we have to consider everything from the Bridge's perspective because it's up to the bridge to protect your funds but this trust assumption has evolved over the years after all we've all used bridges for the past 10 years in order to use these you know cryptocurrency exchanges and services the first way to build it was this single Authority the coinbase is the bit Stomps and the Krakens you know I lock my phones in the coinbase and they have custody of the funds and they're responsible for protecting the assets and today I think they protect about 10 percent of all cryptocurrency assets then we moved on and thought well can we have a multi-authority bridge you know instead of just trusting coinbius kubi trust five out of nine validators to protect the funds and then we went a little further and thought well what about these cryptoeconomic Bridges you know what if I could stick assets and then become a validator and appoint myself to protect the funds now in all three cases especially these crypto economic Bridges they're still just multi-authority so in late 2021 around six entities represented I believe 85 percent of the stake on polygon and as these six entities that you're trusting to protect the Assets in the polygons proof of stake Bridge if they collude they can steal your funds but so far they've actually done a pretty good job but in all these cases it sucks you know we're trusting less than 10 people our tan parties to protect billions of dollars you know the whole point of cryptocurrencies was to remove the intermediaries and now we've just reintroduced them now there's ten of them that will protect most assets but it doesn't suck from an ideological perspective it sucks practically because they keep getting hacked I mean maybe a good reason hansier who's ever lost money with a third party service look at this yeah comedy gens last hope you didn't use a Luna but anyway but you know but basically they all keep getting hacked the biggest hack was monk Ox you know they lost nearly six percent of all Bitcoin that will ever exist around 800 000 Bitcoin or about 6 800 give or take and now he sort of just you know put it under the table and we just pretend it didn't happen but you know it's it's very frustrating but why did this happen it hopped like these hacks occur because in reality we're taking a set of human processes we're implementing these human processes and we're trying to protect billions of dollars and humans don't scale so every time we take the human processes and instantiate it somewhere else to protect more phones you know there's this increases the likelihood that it's going to feel and then they get hacked what about a multi-authority bridge you know that should be a they're a little better in practice you know there's more targets to hack but of course the run-on Bridge you know five out of nine validators were compromised and they lost their funds although in reality it's not really five validators because four of them belong to one company but you get the idea you know multi-authority Bridges and I feel like over the past 10 years when we're designing these Bridges we've sort of forgot about our old school motto you know not your keys not your coins there were blind leads has given our coins away and says hoping they can protect the funds so the question for these Bridges is you know can we build and transact on an off-chain system by still allowing users to maintain custody of their funds and not have to trust the operator to protect the funds and this was the original goal of the sidechamp paper in 2014. they don't use the word Bridge they use they call it a two-way Peg but the ideas of our history of forward you take your Bitcoin you lock it into a bridge and it appears on an experimental blockchain so this is the ethereum example you know you're on ethereum you lock it on an experimental blockchain you transact a way then eventually you bring your funds back to ethereum now on the side GM paper the idea is that there would be a smart contract on ethereum in this case that would check you know the the consensus protocol off the other system that may be it's proof of work maybe the validators of that system but there's a smart contract here with the assets just checking of the other blockchain agrees that the fund should be withdrawn but the issue is that when you have a consensus protocol you're still trusting the Judgment of a set of parties and and there's two you know ways this is trusted the first kiss is you know what if the consensus protocol agrees to an invalid block you send it to the bridge the bridge gets the invalid block but all of the validators agreed again your funds get stolen now you could use a validity proof or zero knowledge proofs to make that a little better and there's a lot six years of work to make that better but the real issue with the side chains or the sidechin paper was availability now what are the experimental blockchain goes offline on The Operators disappear if the operators disappear the consensus protocol stalls it can't make any more decisions and then your funds get stuck on the bridge and you can never get your funds out so that was the issue with the sidecham paper so again I'm going to ask a better question you know can we build a bridge that can protect us from an all-powerful adversary so even if the entire system goes offline I can still get my funds out and this was Dakota plasma you know back in 2017 the plasma paper came out has anyone tried to read the paper by the way you know that okay maybe a better question did anyone read it and understand it Noah look at that I met I spoke to Joseph recently and he called it aspirational in terms of his writing because it's a very difficult people to read but the idea in the paper was amazing it tried to solve that availability problem that liveness problem so even if the entire system goes offline you can still get your funds out you know I tried to do better than this IGN paper and for about two years as a community we had all these different variants of plasma you know plasma cash you know plasma and a partial spending whatever plasma MVP but none of the solutions were satisfactory no they only supported payments they all have these nitty-gritty details that made it not practical and in a way we sort of wasted two years but we didn't really waste two years then eventually Barry whiteheart came along and he just released his GitHub and total ethereum style that really you know helped simplify the design space he separated out data availability on making sure the updates to the database are valid and you know the way he solved it was the roll up where you roll up the transaction data and you just post it to ethereum then all you've got to solve is making sure the data is correct and valid and this led to the roll ups this wonderful little GitHub now if we want to categorize this as a bridge we would call this the validating Bridge because now the bridge will end a bit independently protect the funds so let's give an example we have an Executor and they want to update the offchain database so they do this 1990 automation they update the database and they'll propose an update to the database to the bridge now the bridge will not blindly trust the executor regardless of who's authorized this update it will not trust the executor it must be independent or it must independently be convinced that this update is valid and correct and that updates frequently occur as well so then the executor has to send convincing evidence for why this is valid that you know and then the bridge will check the evidence check how frequent it is and say yep the off chin database is correct the liabilities are fine I can let the user withdraw their funds and this is what the rule-ups are trying to build you know the loop brings optimistic ethereum ZK saying Stark arbitrim they're all trying to build a validating Bridge and if they can build this then that's really exciting because now we're gonna have a bridge that runs in ethereum and it's ethereum that's protecting your funds from the adversary you know they try to steal your funds nope they try to censor your transaction nope it will always try to defeat this all-powerful adversary you know it's a great great punch isn't it um but this sounds cool it sounds really exciting but is it too good to be true you know come the rule UPS really satisfy this and clearly no one in the room earlier trusted the rule ups at all apart from one person you're a good soul okay so let's try to define the environment a bit we're going to talk about here are the agents you know who's involved in the protocol we're going to provide a high level overview of how it works in the threat model and of course the security properties for what it means to be secure so who's involved in the protocol first we have the honest user or an honest party the honors user really just wants to you know lock their Moon cat into the system buy and sell their Moon cat and then get their Moon cat back out you know they don't really care about the system itself we have the sequencer who will take the user's transactions order them and then pass them on so they're a transaction ordering service then we have the executor we will take the transactions execute them and then propose an update to the bridge that's I know let's watch this in action so you have Alice and Alice will deposit one coin into the bridge then this will magically appear in the off chain database then Bob comes along you know hi Bob and Alex is going to send one coin the Bob so she'll sign a transaction and give it to the sequencer now the sequencer can notify Bob and say Bob you're going to receive one coin but what's important is that that's only a promise the transaction is in public it's not vital it's not even pending it simply held by the sequencer so when you send a transaction an arbor trim is the sequencer that's getting it and it's making a promise to you that it will be executed but it's just a promise the sequencer waits around for a while more transactions come in then eventually the sequencer will order the transactions and pass it on in this example the sequencer will give the transactions directly to the bridge the bridge will order the transactions but they're not yet executed we need someone to come along to execute the transactions so the executor comes he picks up the transactions again the wonderful 1990 animation he executes the transactions and he'll post a checkpoint to the bridge and he'll say Bridge here's an update to the database and this is why it is valid and this happens continuously you know we order transactions we execute transactions and then we convince the bridge that this is correct and valid and that convincing is again the most important part of a bridge or a validating Bridge so who's the adversary you know who are we trying to defend against who's trying to steal our funds so there's two aspects to consider first the masses flow control the adversary can view reorder and drop all messages on the layer 2 system the only guarantee that an honest party has is that they can send a transaction to ethereum and to the bridge that's the only guarantee they get for Massey's delivery foreign is that the adversary can corrupt nearly every single party on the off-chean system we simply assume that the bridge cannot be corrupted and there's one honest party who can assist the bridge that's the only guarantee we get in terms of honest parties everything else can be corrupt and evil and out to steal our funds and this is the most powerful adversary that you can or you can you have to defend against you know they'd literally control the entire auction system and if you look at L2 beats you will notice that no rule up today the smart contract enabled can actually defend against this Beast the very very difficult adversary to beat and it's probably going to be another year or two before a rule app can defeat this Beast so what's the security properties then what does it mean to be secure for a roll-up or a validating Bridge the overall goal the overarching goal is that there's this off chain database we have to protect the cfd and a sliveness and there's three sub goals and again these sub-goals are from the perspective of the bridge because all that matters is the bridge the bridge has to have a guarantee you know is the data available that's data availability can anyone get a copy of the data the second property is steer transition Integrity is you know from the bridges perspective are all proposed updates to the database valid and correct and finally censorship resistance if the entire system goes all flying can the bridge independently forcefully order and eventually execute transactions that make sure you can unwind your position and withdraw your funds from the system so what about the availability you know what is this problem and there's three questions we're going to answer you know why does the data need to be public what theater needs to be public and how do we guarantee it's how do we guarantee that it is publicly available so why do we care about the database being public remember we had one assumption there's one honest party out there who can assist the bridge so anyone here ideally could help the bridge you know protect from the all-powerful adversary so the only way the honest party can help is that they have a copy of the database you know they need a copy of the most recent database so they can take the transactions execute them and actually propose an update to the bridge if the adversary can withhold One update and prevent anyone from getting an up-to-date copy of the database then they you know they win the game and you can't propose an actual update so that's why it has to be public for one honors party what theater needs to be public and this sort of varies between the optimistic rule apps and the validity Roll-Ups but generally speaking enough data has to be public so the honest party can compute the database so it needs you know all the updates to the database and there's two types of data one is transaction history you know get out get the entire list of order transactions sort of like a blockchain execute the transactions and then you'll create a copy of the database or you know you have data BSA data BSB you get the state diff you know the difference in the storage values and you can post the state diff and so as a you know as a user you get the state diff applied to your database and then you compute the new database so there you hide the transactions you only see the result of the transactions but in both cases that has to be valid and finally how do we guarantee the deal is publicly available so in plasma the focus was this challenge process you know could I challenge the operator that make the data available but for many years it was considered too complicated too complex today I think it could solve that problem in a reasonable manner but most in the communities just ignore it the other problem the other way to solve it is a committee is take this starknet committee or the any trust committee I think is arbitrum Nova they have a data availability committee and the committee will sign a message to attest to the fact they will make the data available or you do the roll up you just post the data to ethereum an ethereum guarantees that the data was available at one point in time so what about the state transition Integrity problem well this is very straightforward if one object to the database can include a can include an invalid transaction then the adversary conceal all the funds in the system you know we've seen this time and time again with all of the bridges the most recent one being binance you know it's this is how they keep stealing the funds now there's two different ways to solve this problem there's optimistic or ZK fraud proofs or validity proofs you know you're going to hear about this topic over and over and over again because this is the one thing they all talk about you know this is the most important problem in their mind uh so I'll skip it for now but to me the most important problem that no one talks about and this is really the difference between the side chain paper you know what is a side chain on what will be a rule up or a layer two protocol is censorship resistance if the entire system goes offline can I still get my funds out and that is really the biggest important topic for rule Ops and no one likes to talk about it because it's really hard so what is censorship resistance a margin that Allah sponsor seller Moon cat he gives the transaction to the sequencer and the sequences like no no I'm not going to let you sell your mooncat you know how dare they the user should be able to forcefully order this transaction so the user will simply tick their transaction and send it directly to the bridge this is what we call forced inclusion they send it to the bridge and the bridge will force its ordering and now it's ordered for execution and this is really cool because then if we consider liveness you know how do we guarantee this eventually gets executed we can assume that the sequencer has absolutely nothing to do with censorship resistance whatsoever you can have a centralized front end a centralized sequencer but the back end is decentralized and that's cool that provides an amazing user experience because you know exactly what sequencer they interact with but they are not responsible for protecting the system we really assume there's one honest executor you can join the system take the transactions execute them and then you know post the update to the bridge we just need one honest party to protect the system so to summarize if you can solve all three problems then maybe we can slay the Beast and just you know deploy a secure layer to your system and for the ogs out there this is the bare wheel from 2014 you know the I think the three bear markets before and I replaced the Bitcoin shield with an ethereum Shield because eat this money now but anyway um what I want to finish off with is uh there's these three core problems are they not the only problems there's a whole host of other problems that you can get your you know teeth into if you're interested in solving cool problems about real Labs as I mentioned censorship resistance is non-trivial there's a lot of nitty-gritty details that makes it difficult um what I'm excited for are those experimental virtual machines this was the original goal of the sidechain paper you know we lock our coins in Bitcoin and we unlock it on this experimental blockchain and now we have this you know we have Cairo for starknet we had the arbitrine virtual machine we have the optimism Bedrock we have fuel in their sway language all these really cool virtual machines and custom you know languages and software but we're still retaining the security of ethereum and that's probably the most exciting part of these rule Ops as well and finally um I guess the last point I'll highlight is fragmentation of assets a lot of people are worried that if you have you know 10 different rollouts the assets get fragmented across the Roll-Ups is that not a problem for liquidity well we've always had this problem with crypto exchanges you know you have coinbius Kraken binance so it's not a new problem but now anyone in this room can deploy a solution on something like arbitrim we could quickly move your phone to the optimism this you know cross chain transfers interruptability this is now a venture that anyone can build or if you tried to do that in coinbase you know coinbase is going to probably tell you to go away so um that's also really exciting we can really solve that fragmentation issue now but is it worth it just to finish up you know is this worth it is it worth all the work to build this validating Bridge now web 3 is a bit of a buzzword you know I'm all if you're all developers and we're all sort of like oh well web3 is this a real thing but uh to me my vision of web3 is that if you consider the web 2 world web 2 we've always had to trust the off-chan system you know I take my coins I lock it in the coinbase and I really have to trust coinbase to protect my funds in the web 3 world I would hope we can have a user experience that's similar to the coinbius I lock my funds in a nice UI you know I get instant confirmations but the difference is that I don't have to trust coinbase for my funds so the actual service is exactly the same but the difference is whether I trust the operator or not or what I trust the operator to do and that's really web three so we use these rule UPS eventually it will feel like using a web 2 service but much better you know security and Trust guarantees and I hope and this is a coupe by vitalik you know is a wonderful blog post on this cursody's becoming a liability and what do I mean by that so if you consider if you were to do a startup maybe five years ago you know you could be the new mangoc so the new bitstamp or binance you know you run your service you get these human processes and you have to secure billions of dollars that obviously doesn't skill as far as scary you know who wants to be liable for protecting billions of dollars I mean that's reasons does anyone here want to be responsible for protecting billions of dollars no I'm look at that exactly you know screw that that's weight that's way scary so what I'm excited for is the rule lumps if there's one rule up that can get a good you know a good implementation that's easy to deploy and reinstantiate there's a good developer experience says that anyone here can build on it then we've solved the problem you know we've replaced those human processes with software we almost offer skills so you deploy your rule up you offer a really cute UI I can go on there and buy and sell my mooncat I don't trust you with it so I believe it's worth it because I don't think users care about custody you know we all still use custodial Services what is the operators who care no one here raised their hand when you wanted to protect billions of dollars so if you're all going to do a new startup you're probably going to look into the rule out to say you know could I reinstantiate this and reuse the software that's the layer 3 goal and so that's why I think it's worth it you know custody is an unnecessary liability and that's the end of my talk I have three minutes left I believe so thank you guys for listening and have a great time cool awesome

Rattan LM750 Folding E-Bike Unboxing Short Review S10E11
[Music] hey everyone i'm kim and i'm daryl and christmas came early hey i just want to make sure everybody knows up front that this is not a paid sponsor uh we received this we're going to check it out and give it a good review and see what we think so this is the ratan lm 750 e-bike it came to us from amazon and we're gonna do an unboxing to see how they shipped it how it was packed and see how easy it is gonna be coming right out of the box it's supposed to be pretty uh well assembled so we'll see yeah so our plan is this year is to go to the southwest for winter until it warms up but we just don't want to sit out there we want to go do things so other than our walks and our hikes i thought we'd get on some e-bikes and drive around and maybe meet some people i think it'll be a lot of fun yeah and we got helmets too that's right so i'm gonna unbox this and uh hopefully bear with me and uh we'll knock this out hopefully it's easier than mine that he got me or maybe we just didn't know what we were doing so anyway this one was shipped uh fedex and this one looks like it's going to be packed in a pretty good styrofoam case so they pretty well filled this thing with foam i guess after it was stuck in here so we might just have to cut the side open and peel this thing out i want to make sure right so why don't we turn the box around he had actually ordered first the e-bike am i right daryl that you'd ordered the e-bike ordered too long i ordered the electra uh e-bike but they only get so much in a month they ship out of arizona um from what i can tell they're not made in arizona they're just distributed out of arizona but they weren't going to be here to the campsite that we're at uh early enough so we could get them because we're going to be leaving yeah so we decided now we better not better not chance we don't want to be waiting on packages that's right [Music] so at least they got it together pretty good the box is pretty tight here [Music] this is weird looking stuff huh look how weird it is y'all it's all that expandable foam so we want to keep this on to keep the punches that foam in there if we can are you serious oh wait here look this is like tape in the middle that's just the plastic oh look here's the thing and then this right here is the plastic around the bike and this is it's protecting us from this doesn't get on the bike so if we do that we can pull the bike out and you don't have to take all this stuff off that's what i'm saying okay i don't think so at least this will peel off better baby yep [Music] mine was definitely not packed like this this is actually a better way to do it [Music] gonna get on this side so these things weigh about 60 pounds uh in about total weight so you need to lift it and put it inside or whatever you got to make sure you got a little bit of bump or a couple people yeah it's not that light so let me get this box out of the way and we'll come back to you and we'll open this thing up this one looks really nice it's got the extra wide tires and stuff on it too right then right this has got the four inch fat tires the 500 watt bikes only have three inch so you got to be kind of careful all right so i'm going to start cutting these off they all have plastic looks like plastic ties on it you want to stabilize it while i cut it back [Music] i think this is that's really good you won't get any scratches on it this is really nice mine doesn't have this where all your cables are tucked inside that's really nice i think aggressive it's just tape hmm so that's kind of cool would you say that was that's your uh your readout your digital readout tells you how fast you're going gears and stuff like that it tells you your mileage your speed [Music] all right you throw that awake and i want you to hold the bike so i don't accidentally drop it and the reason why daryl and i got different bikes is because of the weight of them this one's rated to 300 pounds kim's is rated for 200 pounds and also a bigger one a bigger motor won't run out of battery as fast since i'm a little bit bigger now there's one more plastic tie that's holding them together where they fold this is a foldable bike okay all right so you lock this in like that and then you get take this little switch down i'll do some up close stuff later on maybe but that's how it locks in if you don't push this down this can come back out so this has the adjustable in the lock down kind of similar to what the other one is and it's got a clip on it also i'll get some up close stuff up for this here in a minute all right so let's see if we can get the handlebars on there's got to be a right over here i'm sure only goes in one way so this bar handlebar only goes in one way it doesn't it's not universal it's actually got a kind of tongue and groove in here so once you get that in push this down lock it in and then put the key lock on it that's a nice sized bike it's a big bottle all right so i'll turn it around so you can see this side of it there's the kickstand down there and there you go see but this is really nice i like this because mine doesn't have that no mine splits and goes on both sides which i don't really care but it's just event you can tell that it's a better thought out we bought it the seats separate now i don't know how comfortable this seat's going to be but we'll figure it out we've got another one people that get different ones and there's an adjustment screw on how tight you want it they say you're supposed to push these in not real hard but hard enough where this won't turn so you don't want to get it too tight that might be just a little too tight so i'll back screw up a little bit and there you go it's pretty hard but i had set on it so yeah we'll just have to check it out you can always upgrade your seats yeah keep those for space most people do but this one can ride for two it comes with a tool kit we'll figure what that is how would you ride somebody back there you have to just get foot pedals it's got pedals for it oh it doesn't yes why don't we just buy one and you ride me around right guys i gotta have some place for bentley to ride and i can also put up maybe a milk crate or something back here if we could go into town or whatever and get some strain you know instead of getting saddlebags but we were thinking about getting a um basket you put on the front but i honestly don't think this bike is gonna work out for a basket on the front for bentley so here's the foot pegs that go down here we'll put those on here a little bit so it's it's the model mf lm um 500 or 750 with a brochure set the only difference is this motor back here it's 750 watts compared to the other one that's 300 or 500. so you can you'll be able to sit on it it's got a lie it's kind of it's this one comes with the light comes your heart the bell yeah he's moving up so we'll finish taking off all the packaging here and then we'll come back to you all right we got it out of the box got everything done we still have to put the foot pedals on there and um charge it of course but this is really a nice bike hopefully the seats going to be comfortable we have here we have a horn we have a light here we have a throttle here and we also have the little thing where you change the speeds right that's what it's called that's a 7-speed this is a 7-speed bike you can shift there to make it go just like your regular 10-speed bicycle you have a throttle here and we don't know if that's a throttle there this may make it go up in gear and this may make it go down again it has a plus on it so we'll have to look and see right and it's got the little monitor thing here to tell you how fast you're going and everything this is really a nice bike you got front and rear brakes it's a 48 volt battery this battery will come out it's got a lock unlock uh run and on so once you have it in here it'll lock in and won't come out but i'm sure that pull the seat off to get it off didn't their older version have the battery in here that's right well that was the that was the bear plus i think they called i don't think they even make it anymore it was a prototype bike they gave a lot of youtubers them uh free to check out tires on it are the let's see if i can get it up close is the uh cst bft 20 by 4.0 which is four inches so they're 20 inch tires by four inch fenders look nice they are plastic though the other ones were metal which is okay got a rear light so this one's really set up for uh legal uh yeah for street legal but we're going to give this a thing get the manual out do some reading watch a few videos put the fit pegs on and get that battery charged because it is down to almost uh one bar so we want to give it a good full charge but anyway that's it for the unboxing we'll get back with you later on some other details stay tuned [Music]

Who is the Lamb's Wife?
[Music] we hope you're all enjoying this opportunity learning over the heavenly things that we may partake in the hope of the achievement shiaka now we're gonna learn about the lamb's wife the church and understand her a bit more that we may grow closer in the understanding of elohim the lamb's wife let's start in revelation 21 verse 9. and there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven veils full of the seven last plagues and talked with me saying come hither i will show thee the bride the lamb's wife all right we know the lamb is yachty the bride the female was made in the beginning as well barnabas chapter 6 12 for the scriptures sayeth concerning us how he saith to the son let us make man after our image and after our likeness and let them rule over the beasts of the earth and the fowls of the heaven and the fishes of the sea and elias said when he saw the fair creation of us men increase and multiply and fill the earth these words refer to the sun so we see how the father was speaking to the sons that gives us understanding of genesis chapter 1 verse 26 and 27 and he said in his image created he them in genesis male and female right right you get some understanding on that male and female what was going on in the spirit we saw in the physical realm adam was created right and from him was taking the woman and we learned about the heavenly family that the father created the mother from himself he breathed the breath of life that spirit of life the holy spirit let's look at second comment to understand the male and female that was created and allah spoke to the sons second clement chapter 14 verse 1 and 2 please second comment chapter 14 verse 1 wherefore brethren if we do the will of elohim our father we shall be of the first church which is spiritual which was created before the sun and the moon so she was created in the beginning so before that physical creation of man adam and chihuahua his wife i mean there was creation of this female the church continue but if we do not the will of ahayah we shall be of the scripture that saith my house was made a den of robbers so therefore let us choose rather to be of the church of life that we may be saved and i do not suppose ye are ignorant that the living church is the body of messiah for the scripture says allah made man male and female the male is mashiach and the female is the church right and continue and the books and the apostles plainly declare that the church existed not now for the first time but have been from the beginning but she was spiritual as our yahtzee also was spiritual but what manifested in the last days that he might save us so yachae was manifested in the last days that he might save us and now he's manifesting the church in these last days and we may have understand it to understand him and his bride hermes was shown in visions that she was created in the beginning too and the world was made for her vision two uh chapter four verse 1 please now brethren a revelation was made unto me in my sleep by a youth of exceeding fair form who said to me don't think of thou the aged woman from whom thou receiveth the book to be i say the sybil thou what wrong say if he she is not who then is she i say the church say if he i said unto him wherefore then is she aged because there if he she was created before all things therefore is she aged and for her sake the world was framed so he said she was created before all things and for her sake the world was framed now this is interesting she being created before all things who created all things as colossians says and how was he created she came of him even as chihuahua came of adam and the holy spirit came of the father now we have a confirmation of this in isaiah chapter 54 verse 5 to seven i mean it's up to 54 verse five but i make her thy husband ty maker is that awesome what do you uh yeah it's his is the redeemer he is the holy one of israel continue the elohim of the whole earth shall he be called for i have called thee as a woman forsaken called thee as a woman forsaken why did the church feel forsaken continue and grieved in spirit and a wife of youth when thou was refused sayeth thy elohim so we see how she was forsaken and we're going to understand why she felt so grieved yet in verse seven what does ahaya say for a small moment have a forsaken because this life is short right that time with ahayal is eternity continue but with great mercies will i gather thee and we can look at ezra's to see how she was grieving and he was given an understanding of how she's going to be gathered back and she's going to be glorious let's look at ezra's chapter 10 verse 26 to 28 and then verse 37 and then verse 40 to 52 right we're re we're picking up after ezra's has seen the visions and going to where he's getting the interpretation second edge chapter 10 verse 26 and behold suddenly she made a great cry very fearful so that the earth shook at the north of the woman backstory ezra had seen a woman there grieving crying while zion was destroyed and he was coming to tell her stop crying you know look at the desolation of zion and after that she cried out as it says and what else happened and i looked and behold the woman appeared unto me no more but there was a city build it and a large place showed itself from the foundation then was i afraid and cried with a loud voice and said where is the angel who came unto me after a person because he just seen a woman change into a glorious building he's like what is going on all right where's the angel that was speaking with me like you scared out his fight continue but he have called me to fall into many trances showed me many visions and mine in is turned into corruption and my prayer to rebuke let's jump this verse 37 where the angel comes gives him an understanding now therefore i beseech thee that thou would show thy servant of this vision this therefore is the meaning of the vision which now lately saw it we in verse 40 now okay 41 thou saw the woman mourning and thou began this to comfort her but now seeth thou the likeness of the woman no more but there appeared unto me a city builded and whereas she told thee of the death of her son this is the solution this woman from thousands is zion so now we understand who zion is the zion is the church right and where has she said unto thee even she on thou see it as a city builder or as i say she said unto thee that she had been 30 years barren those are the 30 years when there was no offering made in her but after 30 years solomon builded the city and offered offerings and then bare the baron a son so we see what she told ezra was telling what had happened in history and where she told thee that she nursed him with labor that was the dwelling in yellow chalice but where she said unto thee that my son coming into his marriage chamber happened to have a fail and died this was the destruction that came to your jawline and behold thou saws her likeness and because she mourned for the sun thou begins to comfort her and of these things which have chance these are to be opened unto thee for now alleluia ono seeing that thou art grieved unfaintly and suffers from that whole heart for her so have he showed thee the brightness of her glory and the comeliness of her beauty and therefore obey thee remain in the field where no house was builded for i knew that the heights would show this unto thee so we see now the church is zion and she greets for our children and we look at what was admonished in the book of baruch this is baruch out of the apocrypha chapter four or verse eight you have forsaken the everlasting elohim that brought you up and ye have grieved your little child that nursed you that was interesting the scripture says the yacht is going to be called the emblazoned father you've forgotten everlasting that brought you up because yatche brought us to the wilderness he was that angel in the cloudy pillar and came down on mount sinai and gave us the law and you have grieved jerusalem that nurse you so we see how him and the church were working to raise us up but we have grieved them and let's look at baruch chapter 4 verse 6 to 37 to see how we grieve jerusalem because jerusalem is also zion these are names given unto the church chapter four you were sold to the nations not for your destruction but because you moved elohim to wrath you were delivered unto the enemy for you provoked him that made you by the sacrifice and not the devils and not to elohim you have forgotten everlasting elohim that brought you up and i've grieved your childhood that nursed you but when she saw the wrath about heim coming upon you she said that she this is the church speaking this is zion hark and know ye that dwell about zion elohim have brought upon me great morning and this gives you understanding in isaiah 54 i was talking about as a woman grieved and things of that nature continue for i saw the captivity of my sons and daughters was the everlasting brought upon them with joy did i nourish them but sent them away with weeping and mourning but no man rejoice over me a widow and forsaken of many who for the sins of my children are left desolate because they departed from the law of elohim so we see how we depart from the church departing from the law of allah and so we see how we need that law to get back connected and stay connected so we see she is greed because we've gone into captivity for our sins and she's being made desolate because we went away from the law of allah continue reading please they knew not his statutes nor walked in the ways of his commandments so we see how is more than just the ten commandments we have to have the statutes as well continue nor trod in the path of discipline and his righteousness we see how that's the discipline of elohim that's the obedience of the faith continue let them let the well about zion come and remember ye the captivity of my sons and daughters which the everlasting have brought upon them sahih brought a nation upon them from far a shameless nation and of a strange language with neither reverence old men nor pity child these have carried away the dear beloved children of the widow and left her that was alone desolate without daughters but what can i help you what can she do continue for he that brought these plays upon you will deliver you from the hands of your enemies the same one that centers out is going to bring us back go your way oh my children go your way for i am left desolate i have put off the clothing of peace and put upon me the sackcloth of my prayer i will cry unto the everlasting in my days be of good cheer on my children cry unto ayah and he will deliver you from the power and hands of the enemy so we see how powerful prayer is continue for my hope is in the everlasting that he will save you and joy is coming to me from the holy one from the holy one though we know who that everlasting is that brought us up that was yahtzee continue because of the mercy which shall soon come unto you from the everlasting our savior but i sent you out with mourning and weeping but elohim will give you to me again with joy and gladness forever like us now the neighbors of zion have seen your captivity so shall they see shortly your salvation from our elohim we shall come upon you with great glory and brightness of the everlasting my children suffer patiently the wrath that has come upon you from elohim our mother the church the bride of yahweh is admonishing us to walk in the fruits of the spirit because we're being afflicted for our sins yeah said he has chosen us i mean in the furnace of affliction therefore we have to endure this affliction that we may be purged as gold is tried in fire so are acceptable men in the furnace of adversity so we see how we have to endure continue for thy enemy has persecuted thee but shortly thou shalt see his destruction and shall trade upon his neck my delicate ones have gone rough ways and were taken away as a flock caught up the enemies be of good comfort on my children and cry unto allah for ye shall be remembered of him that brought these things upon you our mother instructs us unto patience in our afflictions and prayer let's not forget her admonitions for as it was your mind to go astray from elohim so being returned she kept ten times more so as bad as we were apply ten times more effort to walk in all righteousness and be good in all good works but he that have brought these plagues upon you shall bring you everlasting joy with your salvation take the heed of yata for he that gave thee that name will comfort thee notice that the angel uriah said her name was zion right right and now we see he that gave thee that name will comfort thee yeah is her husband he has the authority to give her a name he also calls her yoda miserable a day that afflicted thee and rejoice that thy fall miserable are the cities which thy children served miserable is she that received thy sons for as she rejoiced at thy ruin and was glad of thy fall so she shall be greed for our own desolation i would take away the rejoicing of her great multitude and how prize shall return into mourning so fire shall come upon her from the everlasting lawn to endure and she shall be inhabited of devils for a great time o yodo tala look about thee toward the east and behold the joy that cometh unto thee from elohim lo thy sons come whom thou sent us away they come gather together from the east to the west by the word of the holy one gathering us right rejoicing in the glory of allah yeah bride calls unto us and is speaking on his behalf because a righteous wife walks and teaches in the prudence of a husband even as the holy spirit operates in reverence of her husband as we learn from the last lesson even in the heavens the reverence of a woman's husband is acknowledged by evidence of how the angel of repentance refers to the church when we look at hermas parable 9 chapter 1 verse 1 after i had written down the commandments and parables of the shepherd the angel of repentance he came to me and saith to me i wish to show thee all things that the holy spirit which spake with thee in the form of the church showed unto thee for that spirit is the son of elohim abraham no they said that spirit is the son of allahim she's called the son of allah because she's his wife she's called by his name because he is over the household so we see how the reference is even shown when the angels reference her now concerning the church we had been shown by clement that the first church was spiritual and that's who we're hoping to receive by guarding in the flesh now even if we don't look at the spiritual church and only look at the flesh of mishaka we still would be guilty if we defile her when we look at ii clement chapter 14 verse 4. but if we say that the flesh is the church and the spirit of messiaka then he that hath dealt wantonly with the flesh have dealt wantedly with the church right so no matter how you look at it to error is still a defiling of the church such and one therefore shall not partake of the spirit which is messiah so we cannot defile our bodies and expect to be partaking in vishyakaya right and that's how we have admonition to know we must keep the law to keep our temples clean and we must be the fruits of the spirit to keep our temples clean from within as well please visit the video what defiles the temple for further edification to ensure we get to partake in the spirit of christ the bride is a tower that we hope to enter into read vision 3 chapter 3 verse 3 and then chapter eight verse one two eight all right shepherd herman's vision three chapter three verse three the tower which thou see it building with myself the church which was seen of thee both now and the four times ask therefore but thou will is concerned in the tower and i will reveal it unto thee that thou mayest rejoice with the saints right so the revelations of the church is for our rejoicing let's jump to eight verse one when then i ceased asking her concerning all these things she said unto me what if thou see something else being very desirous of beholding i would greatly rejoice that i should see it she looked upon me and smiled and she says to me see your style seven women round the tower i see them lighting say uh this tower is supported by them by commandment of ahaya here now their employments the first of them the woman with the strong hands is called faith through her or save the elect of elohim and the second that is girded about and looks like a man that's called continents she is the daughter of faith whosoever then shall follow her becometh happy in his life but he shall refrain from all evil deeds believing that if he refrain from every evil desire he shall inherit eternal life and the others lady who be they they are daughters one of the other the name of the one is simplicity of the next knowledge of the next godlessness of the next reverence of the next love when then thou shalt do all the works of their mother thou can't live i would say no lady i say what power each of them possesses listen then say she to the powers which they have their powers to master each by the other and they follow each other in the order in which they were born from faith is one continent incontinence simplicity from simplicity godlessness from godlessness reverence for reverence knowledge from knowledge love the works men are pure and reverent and divine whosoever therefore shall serve these women and shall have strength to master their works and shall have strength to master their works strength is needed because it takes time to master these works of these women through endurance as we're being changed from within so half of the dwelling in the tower was the saints of elohim so we have straight exaltation and admonition how we may have our dwelling the holy spirit and the bride which is the church is calling on to us to keep the law what we didn't know was that the bride is actually hidden in the holy spirit even as yachty was hidden in the father and she is being revealed in these last days let's look at the last book revelation chapter 22 verse 17 and see what's said there and the spirit and the bride saying and the spirit and the bride say sort of bride and finally show us come and let him hear say come let him that the thirst come and whosoever will let him take the water of life freely it's amazing how you can see the unity of the house of allahim they're speaking the same thing we know from the last and the holy spirit is speaking according to what the father told her and the father gave her the commandment and the son speaks whatever the father told him listen the bride is the wife of the son so whatever she is saying is what the son told her to say that's right and then we see how they're saying the same thing because everyone is following the same doctrine the same understanding it's awkward right truly in unity now it's interesting that the bride was right there with the mother hidden in her by priesthood we look at second comment chapter 14 verse the church being spiritual was manifested in the flesh of messiaka thereby showing us that if any of us guard her in the flesh and defile her not we shall receive her again in the holy spirit shall receive her again in the holy spirit so when you receive the holy spirit you're actually receiving the church as well because she's hidden in the spirit continue therefore when he have to file the copy shall receive the original force portion so there we see if we defile the copy which is the flesh we're walking in now how can we receive the original spirit we cannot attain unto the spirit if we do not god this carnal flesh as if we are endeavoring to attain unto the spirit because if we don't treat this flesh well then we're not worthy of the spirit and continue this therefore is what he meant brother ye the flesh that you may partake in the spirit this is why we have to keep our temples holy because we're guarding the church right paul understood that she is the flesh of yachts as well that we have to guard his flesh in order to partake in the hope of the spirit and calling abalahaya in uh colossians chapter 1 verse 24 to now rejoice in my sufferings for you and philip that which is behind of the afflictions of messiah and my flesh in my flesh because the church is the flesh right for his body's sake which is the church there we see it there and that is for now an understanding of the church zion [Music] all right shout out

Desert Locust in Kenya - Support to Farmers in Turkana County
[Music] no oh hey [Music] a and the damage desert locust can cause is not an exaggeration there is nothing that beats to come in the sea with your own eyes what it means not only for this farmer here but many farmers are facing a lot of threats to discourage their efforts in addressing food security for themselves for their communities and for the nation it's easier for pastors when rain comes to regenerate but for a maze crop of this at this stage when it is lost the chances of regenerating are very limited it means we have to support the farmers in the recovery efforts so that they can be able to plant other crops and sold their own for the next decision we know farming is hard but farming has become harder with the incidence of many pests like desert brokers foreign [Music] foreign i was happy to talk to the farmer he said he will not give up he's a farmer he's a soldier he needs more equipment he needs more support for him to continue with the war to fight against the hunger so i'm happy that as fao and together with the county government and the government of kenya will also not give up on our efforts to support the farmers in the fight against the pest hunger and diseases [Music] you

The Drunkard's Doom
At dawn of day I saw a man  Stand by a grog saloon: His eyes were sunk, his lips were parched, O that's the drunkard's doom. His little son stood by his side,  And to his father said, "Father, mother lies sick at home  And sister cries for bread." He rose and staggered to the bar As oft he'd done before, And to the landlord smilingly said, "Just fill me one glass more." The cup was filled at his command, He drank of the poisoned bowl, He drank, while wife and children starved, And ruined his own soul. A year had passed, I went that way, A hearse stood at the door; I paused to ask, and one replied, "The drunkard is no more." I saw the hearse move slowly on, No wife nor child was there; They had flown to heaven's bright home And left a world of care. Now, all young men, a warning take, And shun the poisoned bowl;  'Twill lead you down to hell's dark gate, And ruin your own soul. 'Twill lead you down to hell's dark gate, And ruin your own soul.

Swatching & Decluttering My Colourpop Super Shock Shadows!!
hi guys welcome back okay so yes I'm on the floor again I felt like just chilling on the floor and being comfortable today sometimes when I sit on the floor in my beauty room and I'm just going through stuff it just gives me a more relaxed kind of chill hanging out type of vibe so I hope you guys don't mind these videos where I'm just kind of sitting randomly on the floor somewhere but today I want to go through and declutter my I guess these are whipped cream eyeshadows I have two acrylic drawers full so both of these drawers hold all of my cream or super shock shadow type shadows and I want to go through and declutter them because I never use these I got a few recently that I really want to use and I keep forgetting about them but with me starting off the new year trying to get more familiar with my makeup collection using the products I have already and enjoying them I want to go through into clutter these so that the ones that I really want to keep and really want to use I could put to the forefront to make sure that I do actually use them and the ones that are kind of old dried out or I know I'm definitely not going to use them just give them away or toss them so I think I'm gonna start with my color pop super shock shadows I have quite a few of those and I've had them for a while so you know they could be dried out out of date whatever I have a few here from Mac that I actually got from the Mac store when I was at the airport of all places I have some Aliexpress valera ones that are like dupes for the color pop I also have something from NYX some from ASA Beauty that I just got in a monthly subscription box a few months ago and I also have one here from Helios Beauty that I'm pretty sure I got in a monthly subscription box as well so I don't know I might not declutter that many I actually love how these look but some of them I'm sure can go so let's just get started I got some wipes handy so I can make sure and swatch them as I show you guys what they look like it's been so long since I bought any colour-pop super shock shadows I don't even know if they still sell these same shades but we're gonna clear mine out okay this first one is called hammered and this is what it looks like when you go ahead and open it up so this is what it looks like it's really pretty it's kind of like a gunmetal I don't know it kind of looks like it has a green feel to it actually so this is what hammered looks like and just looking at that I think I want to keep it so yeah I'm gonna keep that one he still feels good nice and smooth okay next I have here drift and let me show you what drift looks like this is what it looks like in a pan still feels good I'm actually really surprised at how these feel I expected them to be a bit more dried out I guess I keep mine pretty closed pretty tightly although that is a very pretty shade it's not one that I would reach for so quite honestly I'm gonna go ahead and declutter that next is one that I definitely got some serious use out of this one is Rex so that's what Rex looks like and it's crazy because like on the camera where I just showed you it looked blue but it looks purple like in my face right now it looks purple so this is what Rex looks like so it's kind of like a shifting blue purple color and yeah I'm not ready to get rid of Rex yet looks pretty nice on the eyes so ooh I almost put that into the clutter be in now keeping Rex next up I have moaning so that's what moaning looks like this doesn't look like one that I've really played with too much oh that's a nice pretty color though well that's really pretty hmm okay I think I'm gonna keep it I think I'm gonna keep it I think to save myself some time I'm not gonna wipe each one off I'm gonna try and swatch a few at a time okay this next one I definitely am going to keep this is a favorite of mine for inner corner pops it's called tassel so it's just a really bright white like shimmery color but it's amazing for inner corner pops so that's tassel yeah I'm gonna keep tassel okay next I have here coconut which is a very interesting name for this shade but it's called coconut oh it feels I feel so good okay so that's what coconut looks like oh my gosh yeah I'm keeping it oh no y'all I might be decluttr in two shades okay this one is lace now this is a pretty color too so lace a gorgeous purple shape it doesn't feel as smooth as coconut but it's still pretty yeah you're pretty ah I think I'm a declutter this though cuz it's I mean I don't want to declutter that I'm gonna put this in a maybe I'm gonna start a maybe pile okay next I have frisky it's just that I have so many gorgeous purple shimmer shades and stuff that I'm not that likely to pick that one up okay so this is frisky looks like a multicolored dark shimmery shade oh my gosh whoa I don't even know I have that shade oh that is super duper pretty frisky is definitely stained it's kind of like that dark gunmetal gunmetal grey that you know you try and look for sometimes and it's hard to find so yeah definitely keeping that okay this one is hydroplane so this looks like a collab color Amanda Steele in color pop hydroplane very pretty turquoise blue okay so that's what hydroplane looks like yeah I'm keeping it okay this one is game a face that's what game face looks like that's pretty hey oh this one feels really really gooey I really am super surprised that they still feel as nice as they do I guess I keep mine closed pretty tightly yeah I'm keeping that that is gorgeous dang maybe I didn't need you to a club declutter you guys this might just turned into a super shock watch a video cuz honey these mugs are still steel ship hoppin okay this one is far side so that's what farside looks like okay so that's far side so that is not really a color that I would gravitate to honestly so I think I'm gonna put this in my declutter bin okay and I have one more color prop so I'm gonna go ahead and finish off this arm of swatches with this last one here this one is called shameless shameless this one feels a little gritty not as smooth and creamy as the other ones so that's what shameless looks like I don't know I'm gonna put that in the maybe pile okay I'm gonna wipe these off and move on to some other ones that I have from Clara Oh some of these are like staining gee whiz so all of these are from this Aliexpress company called faux era I don't know if you can see that but the brand name is faux era so this one is olive number 110 olive and that's what it looks like well that's pretty and all the LEAs feel nice they don't feel as nice and smooth as a super shock shadows but they do still feel very nice okay so yeah that one I'm keeping because it's gorgeous this one is 120 sapphire very very pretty so that is sapphire and these Foley IRA shadows I just ordered them off of Aliexpress I've had them for over a year is well and I just forget to use them but when I did use them they were really nice okay this one is 122 salmon 122 salmon and I think as far as the pricing there were only a couple of bucks at the time I don't know how much they would be now okay that is really pretty I mean the perfect orange shimmer to go with an orange I look yeah that's really pretty well beyond those de-clutter is not going as I expected I thought I wasn't gonna be getting rid of like half of these and so far I've only declutter two and I got two in a maybe file so this one is number 123 Daisy so it's a really pretty gold shade but I'm actually really looking forward to playing around with these that is pretty oh my goodness that is pretty yep she's saying okay you guys this is officially just turned into a swatch video this is number 121 movie gorgeous fuchsia shade it seems like I remember this one not being as opaque as I wanted it to be bulette see nope she's pretty whoa yeah she's pretty definitely opaque oh my gosh that's really pretty okay do what happens when you got so much makeup and you don't even remember what you have this is 124 Provence gorgeous deep like great purple now this one feels a little dry and gritty so it still looks good but it doesn't feel as nice as some of these up here but yeah it still looks good though very pretty that just regular deep plum II purple next I have the shade 119 turquoise is your basic turquoise shade ooh that's pretty and it's kind of like a lighter turquoise is it the same color yep it's the same color that's in the pan very very pretty oh that's gorgeous this is 105 Katrina so this is kind of like a deep dark gray like that gunmetal shade that I fell in love with from the color problems this one does not feel as smooth at all you can kind of tell it's a little gritty whoa look at that oh that's so pretty oh my gosh why is that color so gorgeous it is so pretty let me compare it to that color pop which one was it was it this one frisky yeah I think frisky right let me compare it to the color pop frisky okay so this is a color pop frisky yeah they're very similar but the colour-pop one they're different in their own way it's like the colour-pop hat one has a little bit more of a silvery twist and the other one has more of like a copper not copper but like a brassy twist maybe oh they're gorgeous in their own way honey I gotta keep both of them okay okay and my last full arrow one is the shade 112 Paris so this is what that's what she looks like really pretty ooh looks like a red oh my gosh that is gorgeous man and I was looking for a color like this not too long ago to put on my lid it didn't even know I had it right here in my faux era shadows oh that color is gorgeous yeah okay well that declutter was a fail okay so moving right along these things are seriously staining my arm staining doesn't really scare me because it usually comes off by the next day for me so it's not an issue actually like staining sometimes because it lets me know there's some color and pigment in that mud okay okay so moving right along this is from Helios beauty like I said I definitely got this out of a monthly subscription box I only fly in first that's a long name okay guess it's supposed to be a nice little boozy shadow so that is that color very pretty so although it is a pretty color it's a little bit muted for my taste so yeah this one can definitely get decluttered let's check out these two from a spew tee these are the ones that I got this summer in my monthly subscription box this one is called huckleberry this is what they look like in this cute little pink packaging very very cute feels kind of nice not as nice as the super shock shadows but it feels nice enough okay so that was a little bit darker a little bit richer ah don't want that nah I really don't do pink eye shadows enough for me to hold on to this I'll put that in my declutter okay another one from Ace Beauty this one is french vanilla and this is a really pretty silver shade which is something I would definitely use for like inner corner pops and it's very smooth yeah that's pretty now what I choose this over tassel from colour-pop mm let me see so this is tassel from colour-pop so tassel seems to be a little bit brighter not quite as muted so yeah I would definitely choose tassel over the 8th Beauty one so I'm gonna keep tassel and declutter the 8th Beauty okay so since we're comparing Silver's let me go ahead and compare this NYX one that I got when I was in Vegas with my girls before our Beauty con trip this one is in the color woman of Steel oh my gosh this shadow is like so freaking beautiful but the problem with the texture of these shadows is the formula is horrible it's very flaky you have to try and pick up a lot I don't know if you can see what that looks like in there but it's not very user friendly you have to try and pick up a lot it gets a really chunky when you do that and so I don't really care for it but the actual pigmentation and the color of it is so pretty that it's kind of like I just deal with it but just looking at it Julie tassel looks a lot more easier to deal with and they're about the same color quite honestly so yeah I don't know I might be decluttering this I'm gonna put this in a maybe pile my only reason for not decluttering it is because of the fact that I just bought it this summer but there's no point me holding onto something and my collection taking up space that I'm not going to use this is another one from NYX the same formula called Beauty buzz and this is the color on this one so it's kind of like a rolls gold color exact same thing it's like they were trying to do the super shock shadow formula but didn't quite Oh feels so nasty but didn't quite get it right though they got the colors they got the the pigmentation of the shimmer enos right but the formula is just nasty so yeah that one is really pretty but they're just such a pain in the butt to use I'm gonna go ahead and keep it just because like I said I just got it this summer but it might get you clutters soon anyway okay I'm gonna clean off my hand for these last two I only have two more in there both Mac shadows okay and so this is what these look like for Mac this shade is called I like to watch I'm gonna show you what it looks like so it's definitely like a color shifting multi-dimensional shadow and I think these are more like topper shadows if I'm not mistaken so this is what this one looks like so oh it's very pretty yeah you can't necessarily see the color shiftiness this one is only light kind of like what colors are in here looking at it I see blue purple gold green I see all kind of colors in this one it's pretty yeah I'm gonna keep this I need put this somewhere where I will use it because I did pay a pretty penny for that Mac is my cheap okay and this last one is called midnight shine yeah midnight shine so that is what that one looks like doesn't look very exciting but I'm pretty sure when i swatched it in the store I probably had a fit so this is what mid nice shine looks like yeah she's pretty yeah I could see why I chose these two she's gorgeous yeah just looking at it um I see ooh there's everything in here like purple red a little bit of green gold there's all kind of stuff in here so you know the camera doesn't pick all that stuff up but it's very very gorgeous so yeah I'm keeping both of these okay so I guess this the clutter didn't go as well as I thought it would I only have five lighter and I'm keeping 20 and I have three in my maybe piles so these are the three maybes that I have and it's kind of like well if I'm keeping another 20 I may as well keep these three right hot mess so anyways that's it for this cream eyeshadows watching video because I didn't really do clutter much so anyways thank you guys so much for hanging out with me to swatch these shadows and reacquaint myself with them just to kind of say hey you know why pick me up and use me okay so that's what I'm gonna do so you will see these coming up in the near future thanks for watching you guys and I will see you on my next video you [Music]

Major Investment Studies Teleconference May 4, 1995 (Part 1)
good morning my name is Linda how I'm assistant director at the national Transit Institute at ruter University in New Brunswick New Jersey and project manager for a National Training Program in major investment studies this teleconference is part of a multifaceted program that consists of 16 presentations of a three-day training course in Mis as well as development of a group of materials an instructor's guide that will help you create your own versions in States and regions of our 3-day training course a Desk Reference for Mis study managers and this teleconference which is being videotaped and which will be made available to you in the next few weeks we are broadcasting live from the Television Studios of ruter in Piscataway New Jersey this teleconference is all about the new major investment study process and as some of you may have seen in our materials we've sent out it's your opportunity to put hard questions to the federal planners from the Federal Transit Administration and the Federal Highway Administration that help develop the regulation we'll run for 4 hours there's a 15minute short lunch break for those of us on the east coast in an hour and 45 minutes and another short 10-minute break between the 3D and Fourth hours most of the rest of the time will be spent responding to your questions those of you who do manage to get through on the phones will be on the air but please be aware there are about 2,000 of you out there at almost 100 sites in metropolitan areas around the country in a moment our moderator will explain more about how all of this is going to work but first let me say to those of you intending to fax in your questions the fax number posted at your site is not entirely correct it should read 445 and not 449 so if you'd like to mark that down please do so we'll remind you about that later in The Telecast at the end of this um teleconference I will go over how you can lay your hands on some of the materials developed by the national Transit Institute but right now I know you're eager to begin so I'd like to tell you a little bit about Nancy Houston who will be our moderator today Nancy is a district secretary from the Florida Department of Transportation as such she is responsible for all of the planning production public transport ation construction and maintenance functions in District 5 in Central Florida District 5 is the fastest growing District of the do's eight districts prior to joining the do in 1988 Nancy was director of The Bard Metropolitan planning organization she's a graduate of Florida State University and has a master's degree in planning from Georgia Tech it's nany's role this morning to be our host to play Larry King to our our federal panelists thanks for that introduction Linda good morning and welcome to the National Mis teleconference I'm pleased to be here this morning to moderate this session first let me introduce our panelist Don Emerson is the chief of the planning analysis and support division in the office of planning for the Federal Transit Administration his division develops FTA policies procedures and Technical guidance on major investment studies the NEPA process and a variety of other technical topics Sheldon edner is a community planner in the metropolitan planning division in the office of environment and planning with the Federal Highway Administration his main focus is to work with the Metropolitan planning process Jim bner is the chief of the project development branch of the Federal Highway Administration his office works with Environmental Policy regulations the NEPA process and large scale and controversial projects He has also served 5 years as a district engineer for Federal Highway in southern California with us this morning we do have a live studio audience made up of environmental and transportation professionals from around New Jersey and also many of you online with us around the country Federal Highway and FTA have been developing a number of tools to help explain the Mis process one of those is a short overview video which we'd like to share with you now just as the human body relies on on the circulatory system for Life the economic and social well-being of our country depend on how effectively our transportation system enables the movement of people and goods over the years the challenge of maintaining our existing Transportation infrastructure has grown so has the challenge of making the improvements needed to keep Pace with growing and changing metropolitan areas Congress recognized this and in 1991 the Intermodal surface Transportation efficiency act or IC te became law prior to IC Federal Transportation funds were authorized for specific categories of improvements in addition separate Planning and Development procedures existed for highways and Transit as a consequence multimodal solutions to transportation problems were rarely if ever pursued I has made Federal funding programs much more more flexible and has emphasized multimodal approaches planners and decision makers can now search for the best solutions to transportation problems the resulting benefits are significant improved mobility and accessibility for people and goods and new opportunities for economic development in 1993 the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration issued new regulations for the implementation of IC te these include an important element of the planning process for metropolitan areas it is the major investment study or mis a strategy for addressing transportation problems and solutions having potentially high costs or impacts Mis represents the integration of the planning and project development processes for major highway and Transit projects it can best be thought of as a collaborative process for for defining transportation problems on a corridor or sub area scale for evaluating alternative ways to solving these problems for considering the costs benefits environmental impacts and financing of the Alternatives and for selecting the best strategies to be implemented the Mis process can be likened to the way a Savvy consumer approaches a major household purchase of a car or a refrigerator for instance first the customer defines his or her needs what does the product have to do then the marketplace is visited and products that will satisfy the needs are identified those products are then compared for their features and prices financing options are considered finally a choice is made the product that represents the best value is selected and acquired transportation problems come in all aspects accessibility Mobility congestion safety pollution livability and economic development are just a few solving these problems involves making choices choices about facilities or packages of facilities about policies about funding sources Mis helps to ensure that those choices are informed ones Mis reconfigures and streamlines processes that have been in place for some time time Mis is also flexible it affords a general framework that is adaptable to the nature of the problem at hand to the range of Alternatives that Mak sense in a particular corer to the capabilities of participating agencies and so on no one size fits all with mis custom tailored is the functional principle with the flexibility of funds established through IC tea Mis represents an important planning tool it provides an adaptable framework for examining problems exploring Alternatives and making sound decisions as you will discover when you work with one a major investment study is purely and simply the essence of good planning before we begin with our first presentation I'd like to give you a little more information about our format we will be dividing our time today into four topic areas the first is decisionmaking in the Mis and that'll be handled by Don Emerson the second is collaboration in Mis decisionmaking and that will be covered by Sheldon edner the third is level of detail for Mis analyses and Don Emerson will handle that topic and finally NEPA and the Mis will be covered by Jim bner after each brief presentation we will open the phone lines for your calls it will be helpful to focus your questions on the particular module we are covering you may ask your question directly to a particular panelist or to the panel in general our phone number is 1 80033 6789 our fax line for questions is 98445 0324 now let's begin with a few minute presentation on decision making in the Mis and then we'll be ready to take your questions Don thank you Nancy the video that we just watched presented a vision of decision-making and planning and in order to introduce this module I'd like to review with you that Vision in a little bit more detail second I'd like to show how that vision of decision-making is applied in the metropolitan planning process and along the way Define a few terms that will be using today the relationship between planning and decision-making is a theme that runs throughout throughout the Metropolitan planning regulations and IC te Transportation plans Transportation Improvement programs major investment studies Management systems and so on are all keyed in one way or another to the decisions that are made as a part of the planning process your job as Transportation planners is to help develop information on those choices for the decision makers that you serve decisions might include policies on the for for developing the transportation system over time how to manage the system better improvements to make to the system priorities for capital investment and how to pay for those to a large degree fhwa and FTA view transportation planning as a problemsolving exercise earlier we saw in the video the the consumer purchase decision being made and our view is that Transportation decision-making is not much different from the process that one would go through as an informed consumer let's go through the steps one at a time the first step is to define the problem to be solved a consumer who is thinking about say improving his or her commute to work might think at the beginning about what it is about the commute that is not satisfactory in transportation planning we use the word problems to refer to situations where a Region's Mobility or accessibility goals are not being met problems can also be defined more broadly to include air quality economic growth for example second the Second Step would be to identify different ways of solving the problem let's go back to that consumer again who was thinking about how to improve his a her commute to work some of the options that might be considered would be bicycling taking Transit telecommuting might want to consider changing the location of your job or your home buying a more comfortable car you could probably eliminate some of those options right away but other options would perhaps require a little bit more careful research and and consideration similarly as Transportation planners we know that in most situations there are many different ways to solve a transportation problem better system management Bus and Rail Transit additional Highway capacity multimodal Solutions policy changes and so on you would want to select the most promising of those alternatives for more careful analysis and evaluation the third step is to gather information on the most promising Alternatives our thoughtful consumer would collect information to find out if his boss would permit him to telecommute to see if Transit is available how long it takes and what it costs if the commuter was thinking about buying a new car he or she might comparison shop and consult some of the auto buyer guides to see what models are available at what price similarly a transportation planner would develop information on alternative transportation choices how well do these different choices address the problem how much do they cost to build and to operate what are their envir environmental effects how are they perceived by the public and how might those Alternatives be paid for finally a choice is made that balances the pros and cons of all of the different options our consumer would weigh the information and choose the option that best meets his or her wants and needs and that he can reasonably afford in transportation planning decisions on a longrange plan or Transportation Improvement program require require a similar balancing process by policy bodies and by implementing agencies Urban Transportation decisions are made as a part of the Metropolitan planning process carried out cooperatively by the mpos state Transportation agencies Transit operating agencies and so on plan and program decision should be based upon sound technical information that is generated to help identify and evaluate the choices that are available and should reflect the goals of the decision makers our next chart reflects a simplified view of the Metropolitan planning process as shown some Transportation decisions can be made on the basis of systemwide planning for example a metropolitan area might adopt Regional policies on growth and development on mobility and accessibility or on the cost of using the system other planning decisions depend upon information that can best be developed at the sub area or Corridor level this would include decisions on what we call the design concept and scope of future facilities as you can see the longrange plan results from a process process that includes both top- down and bottom up planning certainly the plan that results from this process needs to reflect needs to function as a complete system it's more than a collection of decisions made on a quter by quter basis but it should also reflect conditions that are only understood through quarter and and sub area analyses before we go any further I think it might help if we defined a few of these terms that I've been using first of all a major investment is a large expansion of capacity or a large addition of capacity to the highway system or to the transit system it's a project that is likely to have substantial cost and have substantial Transportation benefits measured at the sub area or Corridor scale examples might include adding Lanes to a freeway or building a light rail line a second term that we'll be using today is design concept and scope this term comes from the Clean Air Act and epa's Conformity regulation design concept means the type of facility is it a freeway is it an expressway is it grade separated transit for example design concept does not mean design but design concept the word scope refers to the number such things as the number of Highway Lanes the length of the facility the degree of Access Control preferential treatment for HS and so on now under the Clean Air Act Metropolitan Transportation plans must be specific in non attainment areas as to the design concept and scope of the facilities included in the plan IC further directs that Transportation plans in metropolitan areas be fiscally constrained and that too requires a certain degree of specificity so that the cost of the plan can be determined in order to reach this level of specificity in the metropolitan plan the Metropolitan planning regulations outline the ANM process in those cases where the problems that have been identified reveal that some type of major transportation investment of one kind or another is probably in the cards and where federal funds are potentially involved in implementing that facility the purpose of the Mis is to identify and evaluate Transportation alternatives at the quarter and Subara scale the study then leads to decisions as a part of the Metropolitan planning process on the strategies that will be included in the metropolitan plan for the Met for that metropolitan area this of course includes decisions on design concept and scope Mis is a part of the planning process some of you may view Mis perhaps as an added step in the process and we would certainly agree that Mis for many of you is something that's new and different perhaps it creates a new place within the longrange planning process to think about some of the issues that at least in some cases weren't given full consideration prior to IC T however one can also view Mis as little more than a restructuring or repackaging of those steps that existed prior to IC te this repackaging we believe should help streamline the process in the long term as an illustration the consideration of all reasonable Alternatives has long been a part of the preparation of environmental documents during the project development process Mis has effectively integrated the planning process and the environmental process for major Investments and if alternatives are radically considered and eliminated during the planning process taking into consideration the full range of factors they will not need to be reconsidered again in project development thus the overall planning and environmental process can be streamlined because analyses are only done once the Mis requirement is designed to be extremely flexible the planning regulations established only a general framework within which state and local agencies can design the study that fits their particular situation throughout today's broadcast we will be saying no one size fits all over and over again fhwa and FDA expect that each study will be custom tailored to fit the decisions that are to be made the kinds of choice ches available and the information expected by decision makers in that particular case the bottom line is this mis is part of the regional Metropolitan planning process it evaluates transportation choices at a quarter or Subarus scale it reconciles a number of new and existing Federal requirements that have been on the books in a way that we think streamlines the process most importantly Mis is a tool to help state and local policy makers collectively reach informed decisions on major projects in a met for Metropolitan area's long-range plan we think that those decisions will will be better ones because they they will be emerging from a multimodal planning process thanks for that overview Don we're ready to take your questions now so please call in our number is 1 80033 6789 and while you're getting to the phone I'm going to go ahead and ask Don the first question to get things started Don let's say that I represent an Mo and we've completed our long range plan and we have put together all of the projects that that uh normally come out of a longrange plan and there are a number that have been there for a long time how do we decide and who should decide if we need to do an Mis there's a couple of situations Nancy that present themselves let's let's assume for for the sake of this discussion that the project that or the group of projects that you mentioned are first of all of a magnitude that they would be considered major and let's further assume that Federal funding is potentially involved there's really two situations then that occur one is we have a pipeline project is a project that is started through the project development process we've embarked on the development of a environmental document perhaps a notice of intent has been put in the Federal Register that's one situation a second situation is that none of that has occurred this may be a project that's been in plans for many years but has not yet embarked on the Nea documentation process in that first situation where we have what you might call a pipeline project what the regulation says is that the sponsoring agency whether it's a state Transit operator no would consult with fhwa and FDA to talk about what if anything ought to be added to the process that's already underway when when the sponsor comes to us we would ask what do the other partners think about this so that there is a collaborative process underway but essentially it's a nego iation on what additional work might be added in the second situation where we have a project again that's perhaps been on the plan for many years but hasn't embarked on the major investment process then the Mis would apply if it meets that the definition of a major investment and federal funds are involved another part of the answer perhaps is that there are many projects that are sort of in a gray area as to whether they are major or not the regulation allows a considerable amount of discretion and flexibility in deciding what is is Major and again the collaborative process enters in there what does the local area uh is this major in their minds and and a number of areas have developed procedures that they will go through to help sort out the decisions between the state government the local governments Transit operators and so on on what is Major again it's collaborative great thanks for that answer again remember please call in 1 80033 6789 we have received a qu a question by fact and we're going to go head and do that one um this is from Sue in Berkeley California Sue asks are computer network models like emm2 trans plan and menu TP required as part of the Mis to estimate ridership demand operating characteristics and so forth you want to tackle that one Don sure the the regulation does not require anywhere the use of computer models it talks about estimating the benefits of of the choices that are available and those benefits might be expressed in terms of ridership they might be expressed in terms of improved Mobility improved accessibility changes in transit ridership changes in level of service on the highway system those kinds of measures tend to lend themselves to that kind of measurement but as an major investment study is initiated and the collaborative process that we'll be talking about in module 2 gets underway the parties need to get together among themselves and talk about what is it going to take what do our decision makers need to know in order to make a choice and then craft a a scope of work that may involve modeling I I suspect in many cases that will be uh what will be concluded but but not necessarily Nancy I might add to that also I guess if uh one other area what we'll talk about a little bit in the later on too is focusing on the kinds of decisions that we're trying to make and I think if you go back and look at the kinds of decisions that you're trying to make if it's helpful that those kinds of tools would help you make those decis decisions then I think that would lend itself to saying that you would want to use those kinds of tools if the kinds of decisions you're looking for are not the kinds of decisions that would be uh made uh more viable by those kinds of tools then you would not necessarily have a need for those okay great so we hope that answered your question and we hope you'll call in later with another one if you have one we do have a caller online with us Jerry from Connecticut please go ahead Jerry yes this is Jerry McCarthy from the uh Connecticut t square center and we're I'm calling from The Windsor site my question has to do with uh what are the specific criteria for defining a major project is there is it a dollar amount or or specifically what is it all right Jerry I think Don you talked about that briefly in your comments you want to give a little more detail talk a little bit more perhaps the regulation as I said is flexible it talks about a major project being one of substantial cost and that has significant Mo share benefits level service benefits Mobility benefits at the sub area or or Corridor scale and that essentially is the umbrella statement we we do have some examples offered in the regulation but they're offered as examples a mile or more of of a limited access principal arterial for example is is offered as an example a mile or more of a of a rail facility if it has substantial costs but we don't put any specifics there to say that there's a a threshold amount that uh whether it's $50 million or that we we steered clear from that because we didn't want to be prescriptive in the regulation we wanted to be offering a framework within which the state and local governments can can develop a process that meets their needs if I can add to that Nancy I think one of the things we were looking for was a way of approaching this that would allow for the customizing of this whole process to meet local circumstances and we had a number of people suggest the possibility of dollar thresholds and even perhaps specifying more specifically the kinds of projects that would be subject to an Mis and we found two problems with that one it would presume that you already knew the outcome of the Mis before you even started and in fact we're looking to solve a problem and evaluate Alternatives and pick the right one so if you're not starting with an answer you can't perhaps establish or identify the the absolute criteria the other thing is that a $10 10 or $10 or A10 million doll threshold in one part of the country would be insignificant where an another part of the country 100 million or 100,000 million might not really get at the question of what's the right size or what's the right threshold so rather than specify an absolute threshold we emphasize the process of collaborative decision- making that would be based at the local level to emphasize the application based on local circumstances rather than some pre-established perhaps arbitrary standard all right thanks Jerry we hope that answered your question we have another caller online Bob from New York please go ahead with your question Bob uh thanks this is Bob brachman my question is uh who is the final Orbiter of whether or not an Miis is required who makes a decision if it's a major investment Nancy let me pick that one up and follow on um the the most popular question I think in a number of sessions that we've done around the country is who has the hammer um to to come back to the point I was making a moment ago we really tried to put that whole question at the local level it's a consensus building collaborative process something we're going to talk a bit more in module 2 later on um but the key here is to make that decision locally amongst the key players that are involved in having and have the best information the state TR Department of Transportation the mo the transit operator the field offices of the Federal Transit Administration and Federal Highway Administration these are the folks that understand the local circumstances best and they're the ones that have to take a look at this process and make the determination as as to when an Mis is necessary the scope of the Mis the methodologies involved and so forth there you want to add anything to that does that cover it I think that covers it I I've I know a number of states have been working on this already in Pennsylvania do for example has met with it appears to us virtually all of the mpos with within the state of Pennsylvania and developed a rather lengthy report on these are the projects that were were considered for Mis consideration these are the ones that were finally selected and then that was shared with the federal agency so I know that states are going through that process now all right thank you Bob for your question we appreciate it please remember to call in 1 80033 6789 our next call is from Bill and Michigan bill please go ahead yeah thanks uh Bill Hartwick from Michigan DT um I would like a little more discussion on the uh Federal sign off at the planning stage uh just exactly what is the form of that sign off uh going to take and will that include uh the agencies EPA Federal Highway fish and wildlife core of engineers uh and and what exactly will that uh will that sign off entail all right I think we'll give that one to Sheldon appreciate the question bill it's one we get asked often um first the federal government does not have a sign off at the plan stage we do not approve Metropolitan plans and we do not approve the Mis what we do is participate in the process of the Mis in this collaborative fashion that I talked about a moment ago and hope in that way to identify the key interests and concerns that we have and contribute those to the consensus building process that the Mis represents through that we can apprise local players of the concerns that we might have that might tie back to the point Don made a little while ago about the environmental documentation process which ultimately we have to look at also so what we're trying to do is participate early but without sitting there in a final signoff fashion and saying we're going to approve this or it doesn't go forward we're going to participate collaborate and become a partner in that process to help serve all of the interests of all of the parties effectively let me follow a little bit too uh Shon and Bill you mentioned quite a few of the resource agencies in your question and that's also some of the concerns uh that we get when we have presented the course around the country and so forth and I think from the stand point of a sign off we're not really looking for a sign off but you're you're if you're going to hear one word today over and over again and maybe overused is the word collaboration and I think to draw a little distinction with that word collaboration versus what we previous used as coordination we're really looking for uh an emphasis on the two-way communication if you will so that uh collaboration with those agencies uh hopefully will help us build consensus and uh the trust building so we don't need any sort of quote unquote official sign off but it's more in terms of of trust and how we proceed with the decisions thanks and thank you for that question bill again we would like for you to call in with your questions or don't forget the fact line which is 908 4453294 can this analysis be used instead of the Mis I think that's a question for Sheldon the uh process of the congestion management system is intended to help evaluate Alternatives and identify potential improvements in response to problems that the system also identifies to improve the performance of the transportation system in metropolitan area it could be the be beginnings of an indication that an Mis is possible in res in return the Mis can serve as a vehicle for actually doing the analysis suggested by the indication that there's a lack of performance and so the relationship is reciprocal the CMS can identify the possible problem the Mis if it's a large enough issue could do the analysis and suggest the consider the range of alternatives to improve the performance of the system and as a consequence help identify a preferred alternative that then could go into the plan at a later point in time so it's a reciprocal relationship in which the two requirements work together and indeed in non-attainment areas provide an opportunity to address the issues associated with single occupant vehicle capacity they very much work together as Sheldon said the the idea is not to have redundant requirements but to have mutually supporting requirements that that operate concurrently and and together because there's a lot in common between the two we've seen in the State of Florida for example where where Nancy comes from they view the congestion management system as the umbrella with major investment studies being one element perhaps of a broader congestion Management Systems other states look at it just the other way around that the congestion management system is an input to the major investment study but they work together and they're not they're not redundant requirements and you can craft that working relationship to meet the local circumstances this is not a situation where you have to have a box over here and a box over there but you can create an arrangement that meets the local situation organizationally and for that matter jurisdictionally in a way that would be mutually supportive thanks Sheldon and thank you Ed for that question we do appreciate you calling in our next caller on the line is Frank from Minnesota go ahead with your question please Frank um yes uh from the Minnesota Department of Transportation uh Mis talks about evaluating alternatives to a project or to a specific problem but shouldn't the Mis analysis concentrate on which problem to solve in particular as using the example in the video not white not not what type of car you should uh buy but but should you buy a car versus a refrigerator I I think that's a good question and I think it puts the emphasis where it should be placed it is on the problem and looking at the problem carefully sometimes we need to reconsider in fact the problem itself and make sure we fully understand it and not treat symptoms of issues but rather the underlying causes and I think that's one area where we're all learning in this era of intermodalism that we have more flexib ility and greater opportunities to look at new approaches where we haven't had them in the past I think from a Transit point of view we're looking for complimentary working relationships with highways and vice versa it's not highways versus Transit but what's the best mix or set of Alternatives that solves the problem and the Mis can address not only what the range of alternatives are but really also whether or not the problem itself is well specified and whether there is a need to go out and refine that issue and also look at the jurisdictional or Geographic issues associated with it because the problem area from a Transit point of view might be different from a highway point of view what's the most inclusive approach that allows for a consideration of trade-offs and the best mix of of Alternatives in terms of solving that issue we've been talking about problem as if problem was a singular thing that the problem is congestion or the problem is air quality for example and in many of the metropolitan areas around the country many of the quarters that that this pertains to there are several problems that one might be trying to address and the package of alternative strategies would address each of those to to the extent possible and then in making that balancing process at the end to decide ultimately which alternative goes forward it might be then looking at each of the different components the different criteria that that are representative of those different problem statements to see which combination of strategies or which strategy does the best job on all of those different problems I think tying that in also to one of the the earlier questions we had about criteria for Mis I think if you one way to look at MIS would be again focusing on the kind of decision if if you need to make a decision and you've identified the kinds of problems which lend themselves to having some sort of a designed concept and scope option left in front of you uh then I think that is one way to approach from both the criteria standpoint and also from the problem solving standpoint that it's probably telling you that you need to do if not an Eis you need to approach it with a process Sim to an Mis to arrive at whatever your design concept and scope is thanks Jim great question Frank you got everybody involved in that one and now to get some other people involved our studio an has been very patient with us this morning so far sitting still and not asking any questions so we're going to give them an opportunity and take a couple of questions from our studio audience who's got a question for us yes sir in the back row please tell us who you are and ask your question my name is John Jennings I'm with the New Jersey Department of trans transportation and I'm interested in do we need to do an Mis even when there are not any modal Alternatives that are realistic and why do we have to do that all right John Don you want to try that one sure the major investment study as we discussed in the opening is focused on decisions on design concept and scope in many situations there will be Transit Alternatives and Highway Alternatives and combinations of Highways and Transit Al Alternatives that will lend themselves to a multimodal study certainly there will be other quarters where Transit doesn't make very much sense and coros where Highway improvements don't make much sense it may be very impractical in a in a dense urbanized area New York City for example to to do too much on the highway side of a major investment type of a project and in those situations one would look at Transit but let's think about what the definition of design concept and scope is it it is not just is it a Transit project or is it a highway project it's the number of Highway Lanes is it it might be should this be a heavy rail line a light rail line how long should it be what are the termin and so on so it's not strictly a modal choice that Mis is focused on it's reaching getting to those decisions on what does this project look like I think the other thing that you'd have to take a look at is how do you know I mean in some cases we tend to think that we have a complete answer because we take a look at a facility and we see the performance of that facility and we say that we have to fix the facility if we took a broader look at it and tried to look at the source of the demand that's making the s that facility not perform we might find that there may be other Alternatives entirely to just simply fixing that facility that could be non- Capital intensive even the issue is identifying the problem correctly making sure that you need to take a that you've looked at all the Alternatives effectively and making the best choice I think the other footnote I'd add to that and it's something we'll talk about more later here is that the the study may not have to be the same scale I mean we don't we're not trying to identify a simple single straightforward methodological approach for all of these things you can craft the methodology to fit the circumstance in the problem so it may not take an awful lot to confirm that there are no Alternatives and indeed that you've got the most viable solution to the problem if you've got the problem identified correctly thank you and thanks John for that question we do have a caller on line but we are going to take another question from the audience before before we go to that there was a question in the front row I think yes sir uh don I believe you identified that the Mis could be seen as a repackaging of a lot of the existing planning procedures that could lead to the conclusion that Mis will replace instead of being addition to the existing procedures could you point to some planning procedures that it will replace certainly From fda's perspective I could point to the Alternatives analysis process we for many years required essentially a step between planning and project development on the transit side if someone was planning a fixed guideway a busway a light rail line something of that sort with mis we have we're covering those same kinds of of choices and and developing information on those choices as a part of the planning process we've streamlined the process for for fda's perspective in the past were methodology reports and results reports and definition of Alternatives reports that were sent in for FDA to review and concur in and and bless moving on to the next step Mis replaces all of that with a much more flexible streamlined process far less Federal prescription tailored again to the situation at the local level I think from our side in the highway tradition what it does is take some of the things we've traditionally done in the project development process and bring them earlier into the planning process we've always traditionally started environmental analysis as Jim will elaborate on in a few minutes at the project development stage after a long time of having confirmed ideas of what that project's going to be by doing this earlier when we have the flexibility to avoid mitigate to more flexibly look at the answers to problems we avoid some of those controversies that develop around particularly large scale improvements which tend to generate controversy and perhaps deal with them earlier and avoid the stalemates that that emerge when you get into the courts and so forth there's no guarant will eliminate those things but perhaps by providing an opportunity for earlier ownership and involvement will at least mitigate some of them Jim would you add anything to that I think the only thing I might add is that I think that's an example of one of the cases or one of the areas where we have in the past come under criticism where we may have uh defined a project and then been been accused of going through whatever process we're going through whether it's the planning process or the project development process or the NEPA process in a manner that we're simply validating the decision that was already made and I I think the Mis really gives us a chance to reinforce a lot of the principles that we had in uh NEPA and some of the planning uh processes to go back and and legitimize if you will uh some of the decision- making that goes on by taking it under consideration at the appropriate time when we do have those Alternatives thank you thank you for that question it was a good one don't forget to call US 1 80033 6789 our fax number is 98445 3 24 we do have a caller on the line we have several faxes we've received we're going to take our call and then take some of these faxes and then back to our audience to see if they have some more questions our caller on the line is Joanie in Kansas City please go ahead thank you very much good morning everybody my question has to do with how to handle parallel Mis corridors where one of the corridors may be like almost parallel the background on this is that many urbanized areas have multiple and studies going on at the same time and the studies are probably being done looking at Highway and Transit solutions to Pro to transportation problems then during the study process somebody notices there's a commuter rail or a fright rail line that would be perfect for commuter rail and that particular line may be parallel partly to the where the other Mis study is going on so what strategies should the local entities take to determine whether or not an Mis is necessary or um if it should be connected to an expanded ongoing Mis or other options thanks Johnny one of the terms that we have taken care to Define in our training course is what is a corridor and like many words that that we have encountered there are different meanings to words like Corridor for different people different agencies may have uh different definitions of those terms that they're coming to us coming to this process process with in in talking about quarters and sub areas in the regulation the idea was a rather broad area that includes the facility perhaps that is the problem to begin with but also areas around that facility that might include other Alternatives and also areas around that include the or origins of the trip and the destinations of the trip so that it's a rather broad Definition of corridor it's certainly not limited to an existing RightWay is much broader than that now the situation that you've described Joanie perhaps is answered by saying that those Alternatives all might be merged into one Mis I I can't tell from what you've offered whether that's the situation or not but you might want to think about whether this is one quor that and the facilities are competing with each other for the same kind of demand and there's trade-offs to be made between improving one or making improvements to the other or perhaps they're operating independently and in that case perhaps two studies would be an appropriate way to uh to approach this in a in a simple way I think an example from your part of the country might be in the case of St Louis where they've been working on Transit and Highway improvements in the metropolitan area independently for many years and by virtue of the change under IC te or recognizing that that the flexibility to consider the inter relationship between modes is now a very important strategy particularly to deal with scarce sources in that case they're beginning to see for example that in the case of East St Louis that the crossing of the river to serve that area with Transit may have provided a short-run alternative to increasing Highway capacity in in essentially the same Corridor the local officials being cognizant of that are trying to take that into account and deal with those relationships directly through the kind of Mis process we've been talking about thanks Sheldon and that's that's a good lead in for our first FA question my using an example this one ask for for an example um this one is directed to you Don it's from asella in my home state of Florida and she asked if you would briefly share with us an Mis process that in your view is meeting your vision of what an Mis should be it's a difficult question because each one is is different and our vision of what an Mis should be uh is is not as specific that you could say this this one clearly clearly meets that it's it's meeting our expectation if it's being used to look at alternative strategies that make sense and developing information that decision makers uh are wanting to have in order to make a choice certainly within Florida there are good examples of people who are using the Mis process to make multimodal tradeoffs as Sheldon was was explaining uh asell I'm sure is acquainted with the multimodal corridor study in Miami the East West Corridor that perhaps is in my terms is the mother of all Intermodal projects because it involves a connection between the airport downtown and the seaport and it deals with commuter problems going to downtown and back during the day it deals with moving people from the airport to the sea port who are going on cruise ships it involves uh students going back and forth to to school it in includes people who live on the Beach Miami Beach and who are perhaps Transit dependent and need to have improvements in in their needs and through the study Highway options Transit options commuter rail connections connections to the airport connections to the sea port Freight movements are all being considered in in a perhaps a model of of intermodalism I think one of the hard parts of that question is the term good um partly because we're still relatively early in this whole process we had so many ongoing improvements that were in the pipeline as as Don referenced earlier that our emphasis in the short run has been on taking a look at making sure we move those through without unduly penalizing them because of a recent change in the regulations and it's only now that we're beginning to see the startup of new approaches starting from scratch with regard to the Mis and the example Don has given from Miami is one we've seen others in places like Denver and even some others in Florida which are not on the same scale perhaps that we'll talk about later but the key is we're only just now beginning to see some of these brand new Mis approaches emerging and we haven't had enough experience to fully generate all of the parameters of what a good Mis is I guess in the end it's whether or not it works for the local area and whether or not it produces the best transportation investment for that area one other point I might make is that uh another common theme that will be stressed today is the no one size fits all so frankly even as uh we've gone around the country and done workshops or we've uh been involved in the course presentation 3-day course presentation we've been a little bit careful about Pro over providing examples uh because we do want to make sure that that the message is that no one size fits all and sometimes by providing uh an example it becomes a cookie cutter and uh that's one of the things that we're trying to avoid in this case it's it's nice to have examples from time to time though so you have somebody to draw on some other resources maybe people to refer to in various places around the country about what some of their success esses have been for those of us who are just getting started in some other studies I understand we have a number of callers who were holding on the line they have uh gotten ready I guess we've generated some interest in this particular part of the topic um our first caller is Mike from North Carolina please go ahead Mike uh thank you uh the first question I have I have two questions one is short uh would you define partially controlled access I think that might have a localized definition as well as a national definition but I think it's really secondary to the concern with whether or not you're talking about a particular facility that might be an alternative under consideration within within an Mis in a lot of cases the examples we provided in the regulation tend to catch people's attention and they tend to focus on that and say oh what we're working on is a partially controlled facility and therefore we need to do an MI s what we wanted to emphasize in particular an area we could have clarified perhaps in retrospect is the sense that those examples are just that examples and as a result if the Alternatives that could be considered to solve the problem that you're looking at include amongst them these kinds of Alternatives that are examples in the regulation then you probably have an Mis to that you're going to do the local decision-making process that consensus building collaborative effort will make the final decision as to the application but the key here is not so much the absolute Precision of the example but that those are indicators that there may be a sub a problem sufficiently large in scope with potentially high impact high cost Alternatives under consideration than an Mis should be done specifically when we use the term partially controlled access as I recall the concept and this would apply to principle arterials was that all principal arterials are not always limited access in fact some principal arterials have continuous access with curb cuts and so on and so we were sort of splitting the difference there saying if there is access for other public streets uh perhaps signalized inter intersections uh that aren't grade separated then that would be partially controlled if this particular arterial principal arterial has curb Cuts in commercial development and so on in our mind that was not partially controlled great thanks Mike before we take your second question I think actually we're going to go on to another caller we do have a number of people waiting on the line and we only have about 10 more minutes left in this session to take your questions if we aren't able to answer your question during this segment if you want to go ahead and fax it into us again our number is 908 4453294 going to try to do that we do have Steve and Bowman on the line please go ahead Steve yes thank you this is Steve Payne and I'm with attor colan Braden my question is would some somebody please address the relationship of the Mis public involvement process with the public involvement process for long-range planning activities I think that's a question for Sheldon good question Steve the the foundation for the public involvement process with regard to a major investment study is the Metropolitan public involvement process that already exists that that does not mean that that is the process that would be used but rather that that's the point of departure the specific public involvement process that would be utilized during the Mis would be crafted constructed built to meet the circumstances if you've got a very large scale set of Alternatives with potentially controversial concerns raised you might want to have a more elaborate more complicated process if you've got a relatively smaller Mis issue with a relatively small range of Alternatives might be controversial perhaps but perhaps not as controversial as my first example then you may not need as elaborate an effort the idea is to Custom Tailor the the public involvement process for a specific Mis to those circumstances starting with the principles and Concepts utilized in the metropolitan planning process that's in that area to begin with thanks Sheldon and thank you for your call Steve we have about five more minutes left in this segment we're going to go to a call from Charles and Boise go ahead please Charles hi thank you first of all you had uh us all chuckling a little bit with your video clip that said that Dam my ass would not cause any additional work um I have a question in terms of the strength or consideration given to the regional plan As you move into the Mis phase basically if if during the regional plan a decision is made approved that Transit would not be a major part of the transportation system then you move into the uh design phase you end up with roadway suggestions an Mis project arises and then people say okay well now we want transit to be considered as an option in this Corridor how often do you have to revisit the basic assumptions in the regional plan Charles we actually weren't laughing at your question it's just when we viewed the video yesterday we had the same reaction you did to that particular point I think Don wants to handle that question for you yes I'd like to because we uh that jumped out at us as we were watching the video yesterday as well the um and I and I I I know as I said in my opening remarks that for many of the States and and metropolitan areas what we're talking about with mis is something that's new and different we certainly think we have streamlined the project I know for from the transit perspective we have streamlined the proc the process a good bit so on average across the country uh perhaps there is a leveling out of the of the degree of effort but certainly in some situations there is more work to be done than than occurred in the past with regard to your question about revisiting basic assumptions it's part of the vision that we've laid out that all of the parties would get together as the problem is being defined as early in the planning process and get some sense of what types of solutions might be appropriate for consideration in this particular Corridor and all of those Alternatives would then be put on the table if there are major investment type Solutions then then an Mis would be uh the the vehicle the tool in order to sort through those the idea is that all of those be on the table and sorted through a decision would be made project development would then proceed on whatever the selected project would be your question suggests that someone comes in later project development is underway on a particular project and someone is now suggesting Alternatives that is going to happen we we hope that the structure that we've laid out will give everyone an opportunity to come to the table early on and suggest that uh what whatever it is that's on their mind be studied but undoubtedly there will be people coming back later on if we've done our job in the Mis process and have considered a full range of Alternatives at that point in time when this person appears on the scene and suggests some new alternative hopefully you'll be able to refer back to the earlier studies and say well that's a that's a good suggestion and in fact we considered that back two years ago when we were doing our corter study and and this is what we found and that would be enough to to then put that aside certainly if they come forward with some new alternative that hasn't been considered a different answer would would would be needed thanks Don and thank you Charles for that question we are running short of time in this segment we have time for probably one or two more questions Jim from Florida is on the line go ahead Jim this is Jim Kimler in Orlando Florida I have a question if an Mis along an interstate highway covers multiple Mo areas that have have different viewpoints that would prevent the consensus in the decision-making process how does that affect the process of the other no I think that's a question for Sheldon Jim we're sitting here chuckling in part because when we were preparing for this telecast yesterday Nancy was sharing that kind of example with us and the only answer we could give her at the time was that we needed to have the local folks work together and coordinate with one another to come to closure and I think that's the kind of circumstance that at times causes people a lot of stress to say the least because they would like somebody to bring closure for them if they can't do it themselves and yet in the end if a decision is going to stick it'll stick best if the people involved in it find a way to accommodate one another and reach a point of consensus that they can mutually support not by having an outsider come in and impose some decision on them and that's the point that we're trying to stress this coordination among the key players early to identify those issues and come to us decision that'll will last through the Long Haul thanks Sheldon thanks uh I guess we lost Jean somewhere how about we take a facts instead um this one comes from the University of Kentucky from Richard is there a requirement to implement demand management strategies identified in the Mis process Don or Sheldon well if the demand management strategy strategies in fact the output of the Mis and it's included in the plan and tip I would ass assume that the local folks have made a commitment to implement it as the preferred alternative to solve the problem that they've identified in that sense I think it is the key and it if it was a part of or an alternative that was under consideration with investment capacity increases to begin with and it didn't make the grade and it didn't survive as the best solution to the problem that was underway then it isn't the answer and it may not have to be implemented if it's a mixed outcome of partially demand management partially new capacity then we would assume assume that that met some local need and some local problem and it would be implemented because it helped to solve a local issue it would also be not likely to be implemented so the notion of implementation here is not and required implementation is not because someone said you had to do it but rather because it solved the problem and met a local need and this is an issue we see a lot because everyone assumes that an Mis May has to always lead to a major investment in new capacity it's an argument that Jim and I get into often and we agree to disagree sometimes but the key here is we may not need to have an investment in all cases thanks Sheldon Rumor Has It Gan is back on the line in Chicago we apologize for the earlier problems Jean go ahead with your question morning this is Eugene Ryan with the Chicago area transportation study my question is in developing the regional longrange transportation plan it becomes recognized that one or more corridors or areas might need a major investment but as the major investment studies are not yet done how do you reconcile the financial constraint and Conformity uh requirements of the long range plan with the fact that you don't have the information that you would when the Mis is H finished I think Don will take that question at least I'll take the first stab at it we we anticipated that as as we were putting the the regulations together undoubtedly there will be urbanized areas that have a number of major investment studies that they have uh recognize that they need to undertake those will be staggered out over time and it will be some time before uh all of those are completed what we thought in writing the regulations would be a workable approach would be to make some sort of an assumption a working assumption to to put into the plan not not a decision certainly not a policy uh call that a particular technology particular design concept and scope would be implemented but as a working assumption to put in something that is a is a placeholder and then that could be run through the financial analysis run through the Conformity analysis to to see if U if the plan works with that placeholder obviously when the Mis is then done that assumption would be Revisited but um but that would at least keep the place keep the money in the financial plan set aside for that particular quarter I think this is also one of the reasons why we had to invent the major investment study requirement under the Clean Air Act and under IC there are two requirements there that make it difficult to proceed with proposed improvements unless they come from a conforming plan and tip and the question is how do you make a consideration or tradeoff amongst Alternatives which while you haven't when you haven't decided on what the best alternative is that you can put in a plan and tip you do it through a planning level study and not a preliminary engineering or project development level study which is specifically prohibited under the Clean Air Act unless it comes from a conforming plan and tip so in order to make this process work where you have circumstances like you identified Eugene what we're trying to do is say as a planning level activity which is exempt you can consider alternatives you can pick the best one and at that point put it in a plan and tip and it would go in the plan and tip only when it could stand the test to both Financial constraint and air quality Conformity thanks Sheldon and thank you Jean for that question we did run over a little bit of time on module one so we're going to move right into our second module we do appreciate your participation we thank you for the great questions uh the ones that didn't get asked that were in by fax I have those up here with me and hopefully we'll have an opportunity to get to those later in our program again let me remind you before we start session two of our phone number 1 80033 6789 for your calls the fax number is 908 445 0324 we're now ready to begin our second module and Sheldon edner is going to cover collaboration in Mis decision making Sheldon thank you Nancy I think I already have covered half of my Pres presentation but I'll go ahead just in case we had some late dial in type folks um I'd like to pick up on a number of themes that we've already talked about both in our q's andas and also in the videotape and in Don's earlier presentation I want to emphasize in my comments the importance of collaboration as a key part of the Mis process and also the fact that it's a continuous effort it doesn't just happen once and only once in the entire stream of decisions which have to be made and the reason for emphasizing it is the fact that what we're trying to lead to in the end through the Mis process is improved decisions decisions that will stand up that'll anticipate issues and that may in fact lead to streamlining of the whole decision process as a consequence and we're focusing here in particular on the potentially high cost high impact types of projects that Alternatives or solutions to problems that tend to generate the most controversy and so we're not looking at all improvements in a metropolitan area but just the larger scale ones part of the reason for the emphasis on collaboration comes from the IC itself the whole issue of inter modalism which is bringing the modal supporters and Advocates together to take a look at ways in which they can Advocate not only their particular approach but mixed approaches and solutions to problems where we're not looking for an answer that may not fit the issues another factor is the financial flexibility under IC and the fact that funds don't have to be spent on highways or Transit but can be moved around allowing local decision makers to make the best use of a scarce resource and finally is the emphasis in ic on the Cooperative planning process and the need to bring together in an effective decision effort State dos mpos and Transit operators to make the best decision with regard to the investment of resources another fundamental reason for why collaboration is important is the whole basic concept of good planning practice which integrates and relies on an informed understanding understanding of environmental considerations and principles an issue that fhwa and FTA have been supporting for a long time we believe that under that framework early and effective involvement of key stakeholders will help identify key issues will help open the process and provide for an early consideration of potentially difficult questions will help anticipate the needed the identification of needed resources to make the ultimate investment successful we build support and consensus which will more effectively see whatever investment is decided upon through the implementation process will help identify reasonable options and fundamentally structure a decision process which will meet the needs of the local area and in the end as a consequence lead to a streamlined effective decision process as Jim said earlier in his comments one siiz does not fit all so collaboration is a key factor in helping all of that come out and play well play out in a given metropolitan area and through the major investment study process there are several points in which collaboration is specifically applied let me identify them for you and then work through them individually one is in fact in the need to do a study an Mis whether or not one is necessary and when to initiate that designing the study itself is subject to the collaborative process conducting the study is subject to collaboration and each of the subsequent steps after the completion of the Mis will in one way or another rely heavily on a collaborative effort of key players and so as a result we are stressing the need in order to make this work effectively in a local area for all of the key stakeholders to have an effective stake in the whole process as I'd like to use this first graphic on the screen in front of you to illustrate this whole process starts with the mo the transit operator and the state do any of which can convene a meeting to determine when and where an Mis might be necessary fhwa and FTA are key Partners in that process and play a role as as we indicated earlier in determining when and where the requirement applies although any of them can any of these players can convene the process in effect the outcome is a product of their joint involvement this meeting should review the nature of the problem under consideration not necessarily to justify a project but to make sure that what the alternatives are that can be considered effectively deal with the problem to indeed IND identify the alternative to determine whether or not the Alternatives under consideration meet the definitions indicated in the regulations of high type high impact High possible cost or federal funding and finally this conclusion on the determination of federal funding is important because in the absence of potential Federal funding there isn't a need to do an Mis and so the key players who might seek to fund an improvement with federal funds need to in effect agree that they can will or will not use federal funds in this process as we move to the next graphic I want to emphasize that this initial collaboration is only beginning and is intended to help identify the key issues associated with the determination of the need for an Mis once an Mis is identified and the need is identified there are a whole series of subsequent decisions which must be made which may involve an array of additional participants the beginning decision is timing there is no absolute need to move ahead with an Mis immediately upon identifying the need to do one it could be postponed into the future to meet certain forecasts that may suggest the need but not until certain Trends play out so it could be done tomorrow it could be done five years from now the other issue that has to be developed and looked at is who else should be involved after the timing decision is made it could extend to a whole new cast of characters who were traditionally involved in some respects but often late in the process by bringing them in early we may in fact identify ways of dealing with their issues in an earlier fashion the air quality agencies permit and resource agencies Economic Development agencies housing and other agencies we've traditionally dealt with late in the process from at least the highway side may be an earlier kind may be subject to earlier involvement someone asked earlier about the public involvement process the public is a key stakeholder in the outcome of an Mis and ought to be involved early and continuously throughout the Mis process as I indicated in response to an earlier caller it builds from the existing Metropolitan improve planning process and Associated public involvement requirements in terms of Designing to fit the unique Mis the initial process also needs to review and confirm the analysis that may already been done that may have indicated the need to do an Mis and assess the purpose and needs that have already been identified confirm the boundary of the study area to be looked at and assured that the range and reasonableness of Alterna Al Natives and has is adequate and appropriate including whether or not a non-c capacity alternative should be considered this collaborative process should rely also or Focus also on reviewing and confirming the appropriate methodology to be used there is no one standard methodology required of every Mis there is no one set of Alternatives that has to be addressed by every Mis it is built to fit and size to the local area and in doing that the local folks need to determine what information they'll need what criteria for making decisions they will apply and the key issues that they have to address they also need to identify the products and reports to be produced to support and document the conclusion of the Mis there is no standard Federal format for the M but there is a need to document the outcome so that in subsequent decision processes including the environmental process appropriate consideration to the preceding analysis can be given and avoiding duplication can be achieved AED we addressed earlier the issue of the CMS and how it relates to the Mis it's a mutual and reciprocal relationship intended to avoid duplicating these requirements they work together not independently there's a need to determine how to address environmental issues and principles and how the documentation for environmental issues will be undertaken and last but not least a subject dear to everyone's heart how to fund the study agency participation can be diverse and need not fit a sing LE model there may be a number of approaches and a number of sources of funds utilized and it's up to the local participants to determine whether to use only planning funds to use Capital funds or other options and how to handle programming those options in terms of the unified planning work program and the tip collaboration is also important throughout the conduct of the study process itself sharing in the analysis sharing in the review of products and interim products Recycling and repeating steps where necess necessary reviewing products and ultimately identifying the preferred alternative at the design concept and scope level Don referenced earlier the intent being to place it in the plan and tip in the metropolitan area which leads me to the subsequent steps that follow the Mis once the preferred alternative has been identified we need to revisit the Metropolitan plan where an assumption was placed in the plan in terms of a likely outcome of the Mis it may simply be a process of confirming that assumption and verifying it and validating it based on the results of the Mis where a new Option or a new approach is identified it may require a plan revision or where a plan update is up in process and a new Improvement has been identified in a new Corridor it can be added to the plan at that point at that juncture you need to take a look at the issues associated with fiscal constraint and air quality which may be appropriate in terms of a given metropolitan area and address other Metropolitan wide considerations one of the reasons reasons for addressing the Mis as a planning study is to avoid looking at project by project improvements which individually might be fine but collectively May threaten the overall effective performance of the system and finally this process of programming subsequent steps to seek implementation of a project in terms of it the preferred alternative and all of the related issues that will ultimately lead to construction including final environmental work design RightWay and and finally construction itself in closing I want to reiterate the theme and how it approach is important throughout all of this process because you've raised this theme with a number of your questions already we're looking for improved Decisions by early consideration of interested stakeholder perspectives to try and avoid pitfalls and problems that we can anticipate we want to involve those key stakeholders to improve the overall Transportation process by making and building decisions that have support on a broader scale and ultimately we want to lead to a process that allows for choices of the best investment strategy or option for given metropolitan area what we're beginning to see around the country are examples of that that are emerging at various scales and levels of activity in Denver an area we mentioned earlier there's a single Mis process underway which involves three separate studies under a single umbrella contract each the overall methodology has been been agreed to by all of the individual players and each of the of the key metropolitan area agencies Mo Transit operator and Dot is a lead on an individual Corridor they've designed this to work for the Denver metropolitan area an example from Florida is perhaps not as large in scale but indicates some of the positive outcomes of the Mis at a lesser level perhaps but it's just as important Transit agencies are finding by coming to the table that they're able to participate effectively in subdivision design and development in a way which may make Transit service in those areas more effective by bringing all of the players to the table we wind up with better decisions for all of the key players thank you thanks Sheldon um many of you have gotten busy with your fax machines while Sheldon has been talking and we do have at least one caller on the line before we get to that though I do want to ask a ask you a question one of the things that you talked about was getting the Federal Highway and FTA offices involved early in the process in terms of trying to decide to even go forward with an Mis and who should be involved and so forth how practical is that knowing how many mpos and mis's there are out there pending in the country and how few Federal Highway and Federal Transit people we actually have out there in the field I think this is one of the areas where we are still experimenting in terms of effective answers um FTA has recently hired a number of new planners to help add to the talent that they have available to serve this need need but beyond that there's a need for us and our partners at the state and Metropolitan level to to explore options we did not necessarily mean to imply that all of these decisions have to take place at a given meeting physically face to face in all circumstances and what we're beginning to see worked out are alternatives that can take advantage of things like the technology we're utilizing today to meet the need of making these collaborative decisions other strategies include an example from Pennsylvania where our field office at the division level worked with the state do which worked with all of the individual npos and Transit operators on a metropolitan area by metropolitan area basis to identify Mis opportunities confirm a decision and then produce an overall single report for the entire state that was shared with FTA for review and comment and when FTA had reviewed and commented on each of the studies a conclusion was made to confirm that the choices had been developed appropriately and the the key players have been involved and then as a result we had a list for the entire state of Pennsylvania of the possible Mis candidates throughout the state thanks Sheldon this discussion on collaboration in the decisionmaking process has generated a number of questions and faxes first we're going to go to Elizabeth in Rhode Island please go ahead with your question hi um I have a question about the difference between the agency meeting and the public scoping session and what role the public might have in the agency meeting or is that intended to be a meeting of the types of agency public agencies that um were defined in the in the discussion and um if you have public at the agency meeting why would you have a public scoping session too right sounds like a question for Jim okay Elizabeth I'm going to assume when you when you use the word scoping you're using scoping in the context of of our official NEPA scoping and uh although I'll cover a little bit later when we talk about the relationship of NEPA and Mis we're trying to put the emphasis on again the decision-making process and the public involvement process and I would not say that uh there's any requirement one way or another either that the public participate in the agency process or that the agency participate in the public process but we're really trying to do is make the process inclusive so uh the bottom line is I think as long as you're involving all those parties and there is good collaboration and coordin a and we are providing followup uh and followup in my mind is something also that I think we have been uh somewhat weak on in the past and that uh when I talk about the two-way versus the oneway sometimes our our involvement process is more of an input process and we don't necessarily do as good a job as we could at following up and getting back to people on what type of consideration is given to their comments and their input so um bottom line is I think as long as we're getting that involvement and we're doing it with both the agencies and the public that's what we're really after thanks Jim and thank you for that question Elizabeth our next question is from Larry in Indiana if it has been determined that an Mis is not necessary at a local level can anyone for example the general public appeal that decision if so to whom and how would they do that let me try to take a stab at that um what we've tried to do is develop a process that will provide for an early effective consideration of complex and difficult kinds of issues and problems and we did not want to do so in a way that created an artificial process with lots of steps and checks intended to stop things from happening but instead developing in a way that would be supportive of the overall Regional Transportation Planning process and allow for Effective address and consideration of Alternatives at an early stage to do that we wanted an open flexible process so the Mis is not not just a barrier to be utilized to stop things it's part of an overall stream of activities that leads to the adoption of the Metropolitan plan and I guess the simple answer to Larry's question is that yes someone can always object later on and try and raise another issue but that's not new those things happen today even in the absence of the Mis requirement what we're trying to do is to minimize the opportunity for people to come from A New Perspective a new opportunity because they've been EX uded in the past and they haven't had an opportunity to have their ideas considered if they're adequately and effectively considered early in the process then it's easy for the affected decision makers to say we've addressed that we've provided you with a response and we've looked at it and in our judgment it isn't going to work in our metropolitan area or it might work in our metropolitan area and we want to pursue it further so what we're trying to say is by opening up the process and making it inclusive we're going to provide people an opportunity to provide those put those issues on the table early in a way that might perhaps reduce the number of last minute good ideas out of the blue thanks Shel and thanks for sending in that question Larry on the phone with us we have Bill from Orlando go ahead Bill thank you my question is what criteria apply to specifically who or what type of agency should sponsor an Mis IE is a do or mpo or Transit Agency always the lead local agency or can other agency such as Expressway authorities or Airport Authority serve as a leite the answer to that question is something that has to be arrived at locally in terms of who has the talent the time and the resources to do the best job of completing the study there's no absolute predetermined answer to the question who should do it it depends that's one size doesn't fit all response I guess and we want to make sure that it's best suited to the local area so the agency's locally need to work together to determine that and we've some seen some areas like Denver and St Louis and others where they're mixing and matching and we've got State dots doing Transit type of orientated work oriented work we've seen others with the transit operators are looking at a range of things that include highways and what works in terms of who's got the talent is probably the driving force that needs to be looked at thanks Sheldon and thanks Bill for that question we're going to take a question from our audience that they again have been sitting here patiently waiting for us and uh see who has a question out there yes sir in the back row hi my name is from Gandhi I'm from New Jersey Department of Transportation my question to uh Sheldon is what happens if the participating agencies cannot agree on what alternatives include in the study on how to analyze them or which one is the best who decides they have the opportunity in effect to decide the answer themselves or to make one another mutually miserable if they can't come to closure on an issues such as that it's unlikely they're going to be able to implement any kind of project effectively there are going to be lots of Road blocks and obstacles the intent of the Mis is to identify those interests in possible conflicts early enough where people can effectively bargain and negotiate over what those concerns are and maybe find answers to serve those differences of opinion in a way that might eliminate them and not wait till the last moment or the tail end after we've invested months in study and all of a sudden find ourselves in court because we've failed to take into account something so the intent and the hope is that by doing these things earlier we can find answers before people get hunkered down in their respective bunkers and won't talk to one another anymore and just send their lawyers to talk to one another with an early and open process perhaps we can find a more flexible more Innovative and entrepreneurial process to find answers thanks thank you for that question we have a caller on the line who has a question specifically for Sheldon Barry from Kansas City please go ahead Barry uh yes Sheldon this is Bar Raleigh uh HDR Engineering in Kansas City uh we're currently about 40 to 50% through uh NIS uh in St Louis region uh you mentioned earlier that uh it's extremely important getting other agencies involved early uh I I I need to emphasize that as well um it's a major coordination effort what we're finding is that some of the other regulatory agencies are not aware of the Mis process and uh it's uh they're used to doing things in the old way um as as a cited issue uh the same same way with the public uh you go out to the public and try to inform them of what an Mis is and uh uh they get confused as well and sometimes you have to go back and reiterate to agencies and the public what an Mis is uh has this particular concern been brought to your attention and is there anything uh any unique approach out there that uh you have seen that U May address this I'd like I'd like to address your question on a couple of levels and also invite my colleagues to get involved in the discussion uh the reason for the teleconference is in part your question we need to reach out and involve more people and convey information to a much broader audience I suggested recently to a group if we could get an auditorium that would seed 500,000 people and hold them in one place long enough so that we can finally explain the concept we might be able to reduce the confusion this is our answer to the 500,000 seat Stadium is an attempt to reach out to this vehicle and it won't solve all of the need to solve this or deal with this issue we're looking out through a number of different efforts to try and spread the word and get people involved in a way that allows for Effective participation and we're experimenting with a number of other approaches and trying to do that through both the Mis training course that was mentioned in the introduction that Linda how provided one day sessions and a number of other vehicles to try and do that but we have much more to do and if Jim oron have any suggestions to add to that I would welcome it yeah I might mention uh Barry that we do have some activities at least from the headquarters perspective that we've undertaken particularly to involve the various resource agencies we have had um uh cascading meetings so to speak with some of the agencies and uh to name a few uh you know EPA in the core of engineers National marine fisheries the coastal commissions and so on uh but the word is slow to get out so I agree with what your perception is are aware of the problem some of the suggestions we've made in for the local level to get people involved is to uh as you go through your process and in the public involvement the agency involvement is to structure it in a way which is uh friendly to them um and by that I mean a lot of times we hear that there's great difficulty in being able to travel regularly so uh to in order to structure some of the involvement you could you know I would suggest that uh the telephone conferences or to bundle packages of uh studies or or projects or the uh Alternatives uh that are being looked at into one and so that we can help get them engaged uh but I appreciate the comment because it is something that uh has been brought to our attention we are we are aware of it and we are taking steps uh but it is a slow process I think part of the problem too is that people are focusing on the trees and not not at the forest that many of the questions that we get that people are confused about is at the minutia level rather than the grand scheme I think it helps if we keep focused on this is a problem solving exercise it's not any different than buying a car and so on focus on the decisions what information is necessary to get those decisions made and so on that said I think that as a part of that Mis is only part of a much broader broader planning process where there's some educational needs on our part and I think on on the part of our audience to help inform the public and inform local elected officials decision makers sitting on no policy bodies about how this process works I think that there's a lot of confusion there uh as to just what is the role of an no policy body what are they supposed to do and so on National Transit Institute is undertaking another training program similar to the Mis program dealing with the the elected officials sitting on policy bodies and their role in the planning process so you can look look forward to that in the coming months thank you good question Barry you got everybody involved we're going to take take another question from our studio audience right here in the front row you have a question I have a forest question um where do land use decision makers fit into this collaborative process well they're part of the transportation planning process in the overall sense because the TR that planning process should consider and analyze as appropriate the land use plans for a given metropolitan area so as part of the overall Metropolitan planning effort land use factors need to be addressed as you begin to take a look at subaran quarter level studies as supplements and part of that process you you to apply those basic considerations at that level also so land use becomes one of the issues addressed in completing the Mis some answers May in fact lie in land use types of strategies that has been Pro proposed in some areas of the country not many I would admit but has been proposed but the issue is what works what is the what is the strategy best suited for that given metropolitan area and so each area needs to take a look at and consider and analyze as appropriate the land use issues not only at the regional level but also at the Corridor and sub area levels where significant improvements are being contemplated thanks Sheldon we have a caller on the line mark from North Carolina please go ahead with your call Mark yes could you tell me what happens if through the collaborative process the key players are unable to reach a consensus or agree on the need for an Mis or if they do the scope of the Mis can you give us any suggestions on how to uh help reach a consensus sh we had a a similar question raised earlier Mark let me let me add to the answer I provided at that point in time I think that the bottom line is still that that would indicate that there are some fundamental flaws in the metropolitan area in terms of the ability to come to closure and consensus on what ought to be done and that the issues aren't technical necessarily but more broadly concerned with policy and programmatic interests that the respective agencies disagree on and they need to address that level of issue as well as the question of what kind of project they're advocating and so it's really going to take a multiple level effort to try and resolve the differences of opinion one of the things we have seen in some areas of the country problems that have reflected that lack of opinion are trans of consensus of opinion or Transportation improvements that all of a sudden materialize in a given metropolitan area that other agencies weren't aware of or weren't going to weren't party to in terms of their development and when those improvements are made often times they tend to to make the life of those other agencies more difficult and perhaps make the transportation system as a whole more inefficient and ineffective not necessarily serve the overall system performance needs so what we're emphasizing here is the need for local consensus to be arrived at locally in terms of the key players in terms of what's going to work best in that area and if there's the kind of conflict you identify in place my suspicion is that any one advocate for a given alternative that was going to have a tough time regardless chel we've been talking about collaboration in the context of Mis but I think what we've been saying applies equally well to the entire Metropolitan planning process that the same situation occurs in the adoption of a plan and the adoption of a tip establishment of policies and and priorities if the agencies can work together toward win-win Solutions then everybody is happy but within the the planning requirements of IC te there are vetos scattered about the table so that uh any one participant can make life miserable for everybody if they so choose so the challenge is to throughout the process make make the the collaboration work positively for everybody something I guess I might add Mark in the way of uh a suggestion is to make sure that the right questions are on the table at the right time also uh I think sometimes when we get into uh this discussion about whether or not there's uh can we can reach a consensus many times I think that uh we have to look and see whether the right questions are being asked and I mean that in the sense of whether we're talking about problems or whether we're talking about symptoms and I think that if we take it in a stepwise approach and be sure we go back to the very beginning and do a good job of problem identification then I think that helps in that consensus building uh format and uh I can give you uh a very quick uh analogy if you will about uh and I'm sure some of you have heard this story before about the the uh two sisters uh who were arguing over the last orange and uh their mother simply steps in and cuts the orange in half and gives each one of them half and one goes off and uh peels the orange throws it away and and eats the the the uh the meat of the orange so to speak and the other one throws the meat away and takes the Rind and cuts it up to make a cake and I think in that case it's an example of not really understanding or communicating what the real problems are and what the real interests are so I think I would suggest to go back and look and make sure that there's been a good identification of that problem also thanks for that observation Jim and thank you for that question we're going to take one of our fact questions this is from Tammy in Irvine California when studies show that a freeway is needed immediately but Transit may be needed 10 15 or 20 years in the future must a Transit alignment and design be identified in the Mis process Sheldon you want to take a stab at that first on try and I'll follow up okay we're trying to duck this one is what trying to say I I think the answer to Tammy's question is what's going to work best in terms of what the area can afford um there are circumstances where if her question presumes that there's an absolute must do this followed by something that could come a little later but it also is a must do and the issue is what works best in terms of staging that investment in some cases the whole question is how do you package that process and solve the problem and funding the overall set of answers is a key fact factor is part of the discussion and the decision this is this is a circumstance where solving at a project at a time might be counterproductive and if both can be looked at as compliments to one another a bet an a good overall strategy might emerge it may be sequencing phasing funding a number of strategies which will allow for doing both at the best time for the entire region I picked up on the word must too because uh so much of what we've been saying today is how all we've established is is a general framework there is not federal prescription uh so the the word must took me back a little bit but what I hear in the question is is a good example I think of of multimodal thinking and the need to think shortterm and long term to think about Transit and highways together prior to IC tea and and the process that we've laid out here conceivably each of those decisions would have been reached independently and and perhaps if the highway is needed now that Highway would have been built and precluded the option of Transit eventually and we would have been uh worse off for it in the long term and I'm glad to hear that in this particular case people are thinking about both the long-term needs and the short-term needs the highway needs and the transit needs and trying to balance them the North Dallas Corridor in the joint Highway rail construction might be an example there in terms of a complimentary effort to meet an overall need in a given Corridor thank you and thank you Tammy for sending in that question we have about five more minutes before we take a break and we do have a caller on the line Cheryl in Orlando please go ahead with your question uh thank you and good afternoon uh this is Cheryl King from Orlando I'm with brw and I wanted to know how do you use the collaborative process to determine the need for and level of environmental detail to be included in the in the Mi want to start maybe Jim will I'm I'm gonna start it Jim's going to finish it two ways I suspect a short answer and then a reference to a module he's going to do later um I think one one point is to understand that environmental principles and considerations are going to be undertaken throughout the Mis whether or not you're documenting a study that will be used as a final environmental document or a draft document that we are trying to take a look at dealing with those issues in a way that anticipates and looks at the questions concerned at the right level of detail at the right time and so part of what the collaborative process has to take a look at is the nature of the problem the nature of potential key issues that have to be looked at as part of the problem are there some key resource public resource issues that are under in the area are there some 4f lands or there some other historic resource kinds of questions that have to be looked at and address that as part of the early considerations of environmental concerns to anticipate and develop information necessary to look at how they may impact the final decision subsequently the the rest of the effort might play out in the final the other steps that follow the Mis as we get into more detailed look at locational issues Jim I guess I'd just add Sheldon that we are going to talk about this later in module 4 um however I I want to reinforce that concept about talking about the the level of detail in particular because I think uh the convincing argument is that we're trying to involve the resource agencies and the stakeholders at a point early enough in the process where there can really be an effect on the outcome I think that's that's what we've been been criticized for in the past is that you know the the metaphor is there's a bunch of people sitting around the table drawing lines on the map and uh so you're you've already decided what you want to do and now you want to start and go through and collaborate and coordinate with those resource agencies on what kind of impacts are associated with the decisions you've already made so uh we're really trying to emphasize that we're moving uh that consideration earlier into the process and tying that into the kinds of detail that are necessary to make those decisions at that stage of the process thank you and thank you Sher for that question we have about 2 minutes before our break we're going to take a very brief question and answer uh from our studio audience and then we're going to go to our break who has a brief question we can answer for you in the audience well then we're going to take a brief question from a fax instead um one of these questions is is there an Mis necessary if there are no federal funds involved that's a short answer no no that may be a little briefer than we needed want to stretch to fill time yeah stretch um another question this one came from the University of Tucky from Kentucky from Steve Williams if a decision has already been made locally on a design concept is there any need to delay things to do an Mis this may not be your short answer you were looking for I think what we need to take a look at is what led up to the identification of that design Concept in scope and how it emerged and what documentation is available and If the key collaborative effort of the key agencies involved determines that indeed it has been confirmed and the work that's been done to look at that the identification of that option is adequate then the answer may be no additional work may be done and all you need to do is document that pre-existing work as in fact supporting the completion of the Mis what we often find however is that some of these potential improvements haven't gone through a full range of Alternatives they haven't considered answers to a broad problem they may have been self-fulfilling prophecies that essentially got developed and without consideration of Alternatives got included in plans that may in a way that may have been counterproductive to a given region it's up to the local players to look at what's been done review the work that's been done determine whether or not it's adequate and if it is document that adequacy and included in the plan or tip we have lots of examples on the transit side where people embarked on came to us and said well we know what we want to do show us how we can do it and as the process then proceeded other voices started being heard and other ideas were put on the table so I think you really as Chon said have to test that supposition maybe the decision has been made but it may be U it may be tenuous if we have a second I'd like to go back to the pre previous question where we were asked about federal funds potentially involved just to clarify what we're talking about is federal funds potentially involved in the implementation of a project it's not federal funds involved in the in the study one might be looking to federal funds eventually if the study is not being federally funded that does not have a bearing on whether an Mis is is involved it's the actual construction of the the preferred alternative that emerges from the Mis thanks for that clarification I'm sure it will help Steve thank you for faxing in that question we are going to take a break now we do appreciate your participation thank thank you for sending in your questions and calling in your questions we're about halfway through we're going to take a 15minute break and we look forward to having all of you back with us in 15 minutes thank you

of the Elsinore by Jack London Mills and Boone limited 49 Rupert Street London w published 1915. copyright in the United States of America by Jack London chapter 1 from the first The Voyage was going wrong routed out of my hotel on a bitter March morning I had crossed Baltimore and reached the pure end precisely on time at nine o'clock the tug was to have taken me down the bay and put me on board the Elsinore and with growing irritation I sat Frozen inside my taxi cab and waited on the seat outside the driver in Wada sat hunched in a temperature perhaps half a degree colder than mine and there was no tug possum the Fox Terrier puppy Galbraith had so inconsiderately foisted upon me whimpered and shivered on my lap inside my great coat and under the fur robe but he would not settle down continually he whimpered and clawed and struggled to get out and ones out and bitten by the cold with equal insistence he whimpered and clawed to get back his unceasing plant and movement was anything but sedative to my jangled nerves in the first place I was uninterested in The Brute he meant nothing to me I did not know him time and again as I drearingly waited I was on the verge of giving him to the driver once when two little girls evidently the warfinger's daughters went by Manhattan reached out to the door to open it so that I might call to them and present them with the peeling little wretch A Farewell surprise package from Galbraith he had arrived at the hotel the night before by Express from New York it was galbraith's way yet he might so easily have been decently like other folk and sent fruit or flowers even but no his affectionate inspiration had to take the form of a yelping yapping two-month-old puppy and with the Advent of the terrier the trouble had begun the hotel clerk judged me a criminal before the ACT I had not even had time to meditate and then wada on his own initiative and out of his own fully stupidity had attempted to smuggle the puppy into his room and been caught by a house detective promptly wada had forgotten all his English and lapsed into hysterical Japanese and the house detective remembered only his Irish while the hotel clerk had given me to understand in no uncertain terms that it was only what he had expected of me damn the dog anyway and damn Galbraith too and as I froze on in the cab on that Blake Pier end I damned myself as well and the Mad freak that had started me voyaging on a sailing ship around the horn by 10 o'clock and non-descript youth arrived on foot carrying the suitcase which was turned over to me a few minutes later by the warfinger it belonged to the pilot he said and gave instructions to the chauffeur how to find some other pure from which at some indeterminate time I would be taken aboard the Elston or by some other tug this served to increase my irritation why should I not have been informed as well as the pilot an hour later still in my cabin stationed at the shore end of the new pier the pilot arrived anything more unoccupy what I could not have imagined here was no blue jacketed weather beaten son of the sea but a soft-spoken gentleman for all the world the type of successful businessman one meets in all the clubs he introduced himself immediately and I invited him to share my freezing cab with possum and the baggage that some change had been made in the arrangements by Captain West was all he knew though he fancied the tug would come along anytime and it did that one in the afternoon after I had been compelled to wait and freeze for four mortal hours during this time I fully made up my mind that I was not going to like this Captain West although I had never met him his treatment of me from the outset had been to say the least Cavalier when the Elsinore lay an Erie Basin just arrived from California with a cargo of barley I had crossed over from New York to inspect what was to be my home for many months I have been delighted with the ship and the cabin accommodation even the stateroom selected for me was satisfactory and far more spacious than I had expected but when I peeped into the Captain's Room I was amazed at its Comfort when I say that it opened directly into a bathroom and that among other things it was furnished with a big brass bed such as one would never suspect to find at Sea I have said enough naturally I had resolved that the bathroom and the big brass bed should be mine when I asked the agents to arrange with the captain they seem non-committal and uncomfortable I don't know in the least what it is worth I said and I don't care whether it costs 150 or 500 I must have those quarters Harrison and gray the agents debated silently with each other and scarcely thought Captain West would see his way to the arrangement then he is the first sea captain I ever heard of that wouldn't I asserted confidently why the captains of all the Atlantic liners regularly sell their quarters but Captain West is not the captain of an Atlantic liner Mr Harrison and observed gently remember I am to be on that ship many a month I retorted why Heavens bid him up to a thousand if necessary we'll try said Mr Gray but we warn you not to place too much dependence on our efforts Captain West is in Searsport at the present time and we will write him today to by astonishment Mr Gray called me up several days later to inform me that Captain West had declined my offer did you offer him up to a thousand I demanded what did he say he regretted that he was unable to concede what you asked Mr Gray replied a day later I received a letter from Captain West the writing and the hoarding were old-fashioned and formal he regretted not having yet met me and assured me that he would see personally that my quarters were made comfortable for that matter he had already dispatched orders to Mr Pike the first Maid of the Elsinore to knock out the partition between my state room and the spare State Room adjoining further and this is for my dislike for Captain West began he informed me that if when Once well at Sea I should find myself dissatisfied he would gladly in that case exchange quarters with me of course after such a rebuff I knew that no circumstance could ever persuade me to occupy Captain West's brass bed and it was this Captain Nathaniel West whom I had not yet met who had now kept me freezing on pure ends through four miserable hours though as I saw of him on the voyage the better was my decision and it was with a little tickle of pleasure that I thought of the many boxes of books I had dispatched on board from New York thank the Lord I did not depend on sea captains for entertainment I turned possum over to wada who was settling with the cab man and while the tug Sailors were carrying my luggage on board I was led by the pilot to an introduction with Captain West at the first Glimpse I knew that he was no more a sea captain than the pilot was a pilot I had seen the best of the breed the captains of the liners and he no more resembled them than did he resemble the bluff-faced gruff voice Skippers I had read about in books by his side stood a woman of whom little was to be seen and who made a warm and gorgeous blob of color in the huge muff and boa of red fox in which she was well not buried my God his wife I darted in a whisper at the pilot going along with him I had expressly stipulated with Mr Harrison when engaging passage that the one thing I could not possibly consider was the skipper of the Elsinore taking his wife on The Voyage and Mr Harrison had smiled and assured me that Captain West would sail unaccompanied by a wife it's his daughter the pilot replied under his breath come to see him off I fancy his wife died over a year ago they say that is what sent him back to Sea he'd retired you know Captain West Advanced to meet me and before our outstretched hands touched before his face broke from reposed a greeting and the lips moved to speech I got the first astonishing impact of his personality long lean in his face a touch of race I as yet could only sense he was as cool as the day was cold as poised as a king her Emperor has remotes the farthest fixed Star as neutral as a proposition of Euclid and then just air our hands met a twinkle of oh such distant and controlled geniality quickened the many tiny wrinkles in the corner of the eyes the clear blue of the eyes was suffused by an almost colorful warmth the phase two seemed similarly to suffuse the thin lips are set the instant before whereas gracious as bernhard's when she molds sound in the speech so curiously was I affected by this first glimpse of Captain West that I was aware of expecting to fall from his webs I knew not what words of Untold beneficence and wisdom yet he uttered most commonplace regrets that the delay in a voice provocative of a fresh surprise to me it was low and gentle almost too low yet clear as a bell and touched with a faint reminisce and twang of old New England and this is the young woman who is guilty of the delay he concluded my introduction to his daughter Margaret this is Mr pathurst her gloved hand promptly emerged from this fox skins to meet mine and I found myself looking into a pair of gray eyes bent steadily and Gravely upon me it was discomforting that cool penetrating searching gaze it was not that it was challenging but that it was so insolently business-like it was much in the very way one would look at a new Coachman he was about to engage I did not know then that she was to go on the voyage and that her curiosity about the man who was to be a fellow passenger for half a year was therefore only natural immediately she realized what she was doing and her lips and eyes smiled as she spoke as we moved on to enter the tugs cabin I heard possums shivering whimper rising to a shriek and went forward to tell wada to take the creature in out of the cold I found him hovering about my luggage wedging my dressing case securely upright by beans of my little automatic rifle I was startled by the mountain of luggage around which mine was no more than a fringe ship stores was my first thought until I noticed the number of trunks boxes suitcases and parcels and bundles of All Sorts the initials on what look suspiciously like a woman's hat trunk caught my eye MW yet Captain West's first name was Nathaniel and closer investigation I did find several NWS but everywhere I could see mw's then I remembered that he had called her Margaret I was too angry to return to the cabin and paste up and down the cold deck biting my lips with vexation I had so expressly stipulated with the agents that no Captain's wife was to come along the last thing under the sun I desired in the Pet Quarters of a ship was a woman but I had never thought about a captain's daughter for two cents I was ready to throw the voyage over and return on the tug to Baltimore by the time the wind caused by our speed had chilled me bitterly I noticed missed West coming along the narrow deck and could not avoid being struck by the spring and vitality of her walk her face despite its firm molding had a suggestion of fragility that was belayed by the robustness of her body at least one would argue that her body must be robust from her fashion of movement of it though little could one Divine in the lines of it under the shapelessness of The Furs I turned away on my heel and fell moodily to contemplating the mountain of luggage a huge packing case attracted my attention and I was staring at it when she spoke at my shoulder that's really what caused the delay she said what is it I asked incuriously why the elsinore's piano all renovated when I made up my mind to come I telegraphed Mr Pike he's the mate you know he did his best it was the fault of the piano house and while we waited today I gave them a piece of my mind they'll not forget in a hurry she laughed at the recollection and commenced to peek and peer into the luggage as if in search of some particular piece having satisfied herself she was starting back when she paused and said once you come in the cabin where it's warm we won't be there for half an hour when did you decide to make this Voyage I demanded abruptly so quick was the look she gave me that I knew she had in that moment got all my disgruntlement and disgust two days ago she answered why her Readiness for give and take took me aback and before I could speak she went on now you're not to be at all silly about my coming Mr Panthers I probably know more about long voyaging than you do and we're all going to be comfortable and happy you can't bother me and I promise you I won't bother you I've sailed with passengers before and I've learned to put up with more than they ever proved they were able to put up with so there let us start right and it won't be any trouble to keep on going right I know what is the matter with you you think you'll be called upon to entertain me please know that I do not need entertainment I never saw the longest voyage that was too long and I always arrive at the end with too many things not done for the passage ever to have been tedious and I don't play chopsticks end of chapter one chapter 2 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore this LibriVox recording is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 2. the Elsinore fresh loaded with coal lay very deep in the water when we came alongside I Knew Too Little about ships to be capable of admiring her lines and besides I was in no mood for admiration I was still debating with myself whether or not to Chuck the whole thing and return on the tug from all of which it must not be taken that I am a vacillating type of man on the contrary the trouble was that at no time from the first thought of it had I been Keen for the voyage practically the reason I was taking it was because there was nothing else I was keen on for some time now life had lost its Savor I was not jaded nor was I exactly bored but the zested young out of things I had lost taste for my fellow men and all their foolish little serious endeavors for a far longer period I had been dissatisfied with women I had endured them but I had been too analytic in The Faults of their primitiveness of their almost ferocious Devotion to the destiny of sex to be enchanted with them and I had come to be oppressed by what seemed to me the futility of art A pompous Ledger domain a consummate Charlie on tree that deceived not only its devotees but its practitioners in short I was embarking on the Elsinore because it was easier to than not yet everything else was as equally and perilously easy that was the curse of the condition into which I had fallen that was why as I stepped upon the deck of the Elsinore I was half of a mind to tell them to keep my luggage where it was and bed Captain West and his daughter good day I almost think what decided me was the welcoming hospitable smile Miss West gave me as she started directly across the deck for the cabin and the knowledge that it must be quite warm in the cabin Mr Pike the mate I had already met when I visited the ship in Erie Basin he smiled as stiff cracked-faced smile that I knew must be painful but did not offer to shake hands turning immediately to call orders to half a dozen Frozen hook and use an aged men who shambled up from somewhere in the waist of the ship Mr Pike had been drinking that was patent his face was puffed and discolored and his large gray eyes were bitter and bloodshot I lingered with a sinking heart watching my belongings come aboard and shied in my weakness of well which prevented me from uttering the few words that would put a stop to it as for the half dozen men who were now carrying the luggage aft into the cabin they were unlike any concept I had ever entertained of sailors certainly on the liners I had observed nothing that resembled them one a most vivid-faced youth of 18 smiled at me from a pair of remarkable Italian eyes but he was a dwarf so short was he that he was all sea boots in Southwestern and yet he was not entirely Italian so certain was I that I asked the mate who answered morosily him shorty he's a half breed the other half's or melee one old man who I Learned was a boson was so decrepit that I thought he had been recently injured his face was stallid and ox-like and as he shuffled and dragged his brokens over the deck he paused every few steps to place both hands on his abdomen and executed queer pressing lifting movement months were to pass in which I saw him do this thousands of times there I learned that there was nothing the matter with him and that his action was purely a habit his face reminded me of the man with a hoe saved that it was unthinkably and abysmally stupider and his name as I was to learn of all names was sundry Byers and he was boasting to the Fine American sailing chip Elsinore rated one of the finest sailing ships afloat of this group of aged men and boys that moved the luggage along I saw only one called Henry a youth of 16 who approximated in the slightest what I had conceived all Sailors to be like he had come off a training ship the mate told me and this was his first voyage to see his face was King cut alert as were his bodily movements and he wore sailor appearing clothes with sailor seeming Grace in fact as I was to learn he was to be the only sailor seeming creature for and aft the main crew had not yet come aboard but was expected at any moment the mate about safed with the snarl of ominous expectancy those already on board were the miscellaneous ones who had shipped themselves in New York without the mediation of boarding house masters and what the crew itself would be like God Alone could tell so said the mate shorty the Japanese or melee and Italian half cast the mate told me was an Abel Seaman though he had come out of steam and this was his first sailing voyage ordinary seaman Mr Pike snorted in reply to a question we don't carry landsmen forget it every Claude Hopper and Cal walloper these days is Naval semen that's the way they rank and are paid the merchant service is all shot to hell there ain't no more Sailors they all died years ago before you were born even I could smell the raw Whiskey on the mate's breath yet he did not stagger nor show any signs of intoxication not until afterwards was I had to know that his willingness to talk was most unwanted and was where the liquor gave him away it had been the grace had I died years ago he said rather than to live to see Sailors and ships pass away from the sea but I understand the Elsinore is considered one of the finest I urged so she is today but what is she a damn Cargo Carrier she ain't built for Salen and if she was there ain't no Sailors left to sail her Lord Lord the old Clippers when I think of them the Gamecock shooting star flying fish Witch of the wave stag Hound Harvey Birch canvas back plate wing and sea serpent Northern Lights and when I think of the fleets of the t-clippers that used to load at Hong Kong and race the Eastern passages a fine site a fine sight I was interested he was a man a live man I was in no hurry to go into the cabin where I knew water was unpacking my things so I faced up and down the deck with the huge Mr Pike huge he was in all conscious broad-shouldered heavy boned and despite the profound stoop of his shoulders fully six feet in height you are a splendid figure of a man I complimented I was I was he muttered sadly and I caught the whiff of whiskey strong on the air I stole a look at his gnarled hands any finger would have made three of mine his wrist would have made three of my wrist how much do you weigh I asked 210 but in my day at my best I tipped the scales close to 240. and the Elsinore can't sail I said returning to the subject which had roused him I'll take you even anything from a pound of tobacco to A month's wages she won't make it around in 150 days he answered yet I've come around in the old flying cloud in 89 days 89 days sir from Sandy Hook to Frisco 60 men forward that was Ben and eight boys and drive drive drive 374 miles for a day's run under two Gallant sales and then the squalls 18 knots a line not enough to timer 89 days never beat and tied once by the old Andrew Jackson nine years afterward them was the days when did the Andrew Jackson tie her I asked because of a growing suspicion that he was having me in 1860 was his prompt reply and you sailed in the flying cloud nine years before that and this is 1913. why that was 62 years ago I charged and I was seven years old he chuckled my mother was stewardess on the Flying Cloud I was born at sea I was boy when I was 12 on the herald of the morning when she made around in 99 days half the crew and irons most of the time five men lost from Aloft off The Horn the points of our sheath knives broke and square off knuckle dusters and belaying pins flying three men shot by the officers in one day the second mate killed dead and no one to know who done it and drive drive drive 99 days from land to land a run of 17 000 miles and east to west around Cape stiff but that would make you 69 years old I insisted which I am he retorted proudly and a better man at that than the scrubby young ones of these days a generation of them would die under the things I've been through did you ever hear of the sunny South she that was sold in Havana to run slaves and changed her name to Emmanuela and you've sailed the Middle Passage I cried recollecting the old phrase I was on the manual that day in Mozambique Channel when the breast caught us with 900 slaves between decks only she wouldn't have caught us except for her having steam I continued to stroll up and down beside this massive Relic in the past and to listen to his hints and muttered reminiscence of old men killing and man-driving days he was too real to be true and yet as I studied his shoulder stoop and the age drag it was huge feat I was convinced that his years were as he asserted he spoke of a captain's owners he was a great Captain he was saying and in the two years I sailed mate with him there was never a port I didn't jump the ship going in and stay in hiding until I sneaked aboard when she sailed again but why the men on the count of the men swearing blood and Vengeance and warrants against me because of my ways of teaching them to be Sailors by the times I was caught in the fines the skipper paid for me and yet it was my work that made the ship make money he held up his huge pause and as I stared at The Battered malformed knuckles I understood the nature of his work but all that stopped now he lamented a Sailors a gentleman these days you can't raise your voice or your hand to them at this moment he was addressed from the poop rail above by the second mate a medium-sized heavily built clean-shaven blonde man the tugs in sight with the crew sir he announced the mate granted an acknowledgment then added come on down Mr Miller and meet our passenger I could not help noting the air and carriage with which Mr Miller came down the Pooh platter and took his part in the introduction he was courteous in an Old World Way soft-spoken Suave and unmistakably from south of Mason and Dixon a southerner I said Georgia sir he bowed and smiled as only a southern American bow and smile his features an expression were genial and gentle and yet his mouth was the cruelest Yash I have ever seen in a man's face it was a gesh there is no other way of describing that harsh thin-lipped shapeless mouth that uttered gracious things so graciously involuntarily I glanced at his hands like the mates they were thick boned broken knuckled and malformed back into his blue eyes I looked on the surface of them was a film of light a glass of gentle kindness and cordiality but behind that gloss I knew resided neither sincerity nor Mercy behind that gloss was something cold and terrible that lurked and waited and watched something cat-like something inimical and deadly behind that gloss of soft light and of social Sparkle was the live fearful thing that had shaped that mouth into the gash it was what I sensed behind in those eyes chilled me with its repulsiveness and strangeness as I faced Mr Miller and talked with him and smiled and exchanged amenities I was aware of the feeling that comes to one in the forest or jungle when he knows unseen wild eyes of hunting animals are spying upon Him frankly I was afraid of the Thane ambushed behind there in the skull of Mr malware one so as a matter of course identifies form and feature with the spirit within but I could not do this with the second mate his face in form and Manner and suavees were one thing inside which he an entirely different thing lay hid I noticed what is standing in the cabin door evidently waiting to ask for instructions I nodded and prepared to follow him inside Mr Pike looked at me quickly and said just a moment Mr pathurst he gave some orders to the second maid who turned on his heel and started Ford I stood and waited for Mr Pike's communication which he did not choose to make until he saw the second mate well out of earshot then he leaned closely to me and said don't mention that little matter of my age to anybody each year I signed on I signed my age one year younger I am 54 now on the articles and you don't look a day older I answered lightly though I meant it in all sincerity and I don't feel it I cannot work and Out game the huskiest of the Younglings and don't let my age get to anyone's ears Mr Panthers Skippers are not particular for mates getting around the 70 Mark and owners neither I've had my hopes for this ship and I'd have got her I think except for the old man deciding to go to Sea again as if he needed the money the old skin Flint is he well off I inquired well off if I had a tenth of his money I could retire on a chicken ranch in California and live like a fighting yes if I had a 50th of what he's got salted away why he owns more stock in all the Blackwood ships and they've always been lucky and always earned money I'm getting old and it's about time I got a command but no the old cuss has to take it into his head to go to Sea again just as the births ripe for me to fall into again I started to enter the cabin but was stopped by the mate Mr pathurst you won't mention about my age no certainly not Mr Pike I said end of chapter 2. Chapter 3 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore the cyberfox recording is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 3. quite chilled through I was immediately struck by the warm comfort of the cabin all the connecting doors were open making what I might call a large suite of rooms or a whale house the main deck entrance on the port side was into a wide well-carpeted hallway into this hallway from the port side opened five rooms first on entering the mates next the two State rooms which had been knocked into one for me then the stewards room and adjoining his completing the row a state room which was used for the swap chest across the hall was a region with which I was not yet acquainted though I knew it contained the dining room the bathrooms the cabin proper which was in truth a spacious living room the Captain's Quarters and undoubtedly Miss West's quarters I could hear her humming some errors she bustled about with her unpacking the Stewart's boundary separated by cross halls and by the stairway leading into the chart room above on the poop was placed strategically in the center of all its operations thus on the starboard side of it where the state rooms are the captain and Miss West forward of it were the dining room and main cabin while on the port side of it was the row of rooms I have described two of which were mine I ventured down the hall toward the stern and found it opened into the stern of the Elsinore forming a single large apartment at least 35 feet from side to side and 15 to 18 feet in depth curved of course to the lines of the ship's Stern this seemed a storeroom I noted wash tubs bolts of canvas mini lockers hems and bacon hanging a step ladder that led up through a small hatch to the poop and in the floor another hatch I spoke to the Stewart an old Chinese smooth faced and brisk of movement whose name I never learned but whose age on the Articles was 56. what is down there I asked pointing to the hatch in the floor him lazarette he answered and who eats there I indicated a table with two stationary sea chairs him second table second mate and Carpenter him eat that table when I had finished giving instructions to water for the arranging of my things I looked at my watch it was early yet only several minutes after three so I went on Deck again to witness the arrival of the crew the actual coming on board from the tug I had missed but forward to the midship's house I encountered a few laggards who had not yet gone into the Folk Soul these were the worst for liquor and a more wretched miserable disgusting group of men I had never seen in any slum their clothes were Rags their faces were bloated bloody and dirty I won't say they were a villainous they were merely filthy and vile they were vile of appearance of speech and action come come get your dunage into the Folk Soul Mr Pike uttered these words sharply from the bridge above a light and graceful Bridge of steel rods and plankings ran the full length of the Elsinore starting from the poop processing the medship house in the Folk Soul and connecting with the folks ahead at the very bow of the ship at the Mage command the men reeled about and glowered up at him one or two starred in clumsily to obey the others ceased their drunken yammering and regarded the maid so on the way one of them with a face matched by some Mad God in the making and who afterwards was known to me as Larry burst into a guffaw and spat insolently on the deck then without most deliberation he turned to his fellows and demanded the loudly and huskily who unhelds the old stiff anyways I saw Mr Pike's huge form tense convulsively and involuntarily and I noted the way his huge hand strained in their clutch on the bridge railing beyond that he controlled himself go on you he said I'll have nothing out of you get into the Folk Soul and then to my surprise he turned and walked aft along the bridge to where the tug was casting off its lines so this was all as high in Mighty talk of kill and drive I thought not until afterwards did I recollect as I turned F down the deck that I saw Captain West waning on the rail at the break of the poop and gazing forward the tux lines were being cast off and I was interested in watching the maneuver until she had back to clear of the ship at which moment from forward arose a queer Babble of howling and yelping as numbers of drunken voices cried out that a man was overboard the second mate sprang down the poop ladder and darted past me along the deck the mate still on the Slender white painted bridge that seemed to no more than the spider thread surprised me by the activity with which he dashed along the bridge to the midship house leaped upon the canvas covered Longboat and swung outboard where he might see before the men could clamber upon the rail the second mate was among them and it was he who flung the coil of lion overboard what impressed me between particularly was the mental and muscular superiority of these two officers despite their age the mate 69 and the second made at least 50. their minds and their bodies had acted with the swiftness and accuracy of Steel Springs they were potent they were iron they were perceivers Willers and doers they were as of another species compared with the sailors under them while the latter Witnesses of the happening and directly on the spot had been crying out and befuddled helplessness and to a slow wits and slower bodies been climbing upon the rail the second mate had descended the Steep ladder from the poop covered 200 feet of deck sprung upon the rail grasped the instant need to the situation and cast the coil of line into the water and of the same nature and quality had been the actions of Mr Pike he and Mr malaire were Masters Over The Wretched pictures of sailors by virtue of this remarkable difference of efficiency and will truly they were more widely differentiated from the men under them than were the men under them differentiated from hot and tots I or from monkeys I too by this time were standing on the big Hauser bits in a position to see a man in the water who seemed deliberately swimming away from the ship he was a dark-skinned Mediterranean of some sort and his face in a clear Glimpse I caught of it was distorted by Frenzy his black eyes were maniacal the lion was so accurately flung by the second mate that it fell across the man's shoulders and for several Strokes his arms Tangled in at air he could swim clear this accomplished he proceeded to scream some wild harangue and once as he up tossed his arms for emphasis I saw in his hand the blade of a long knife Bells were jangling on the tug as it started to the rescue I stole a look up at Captain West he had walked to the port side of the poop where hands and Pockets he was glancing now forward at the struggling man now aft at the tug he gave no orders betrayed no excitement and appeared I may well say the most casual of spectators the creature in the water seemed now engaged and taking off his clothes I saw one bear arm and then the other appear and his struggles he sometimes sank beneath the surface but always he emerged flourishing the knife and screaming his adult harangue he even tried to escape the tug by diving and swimming underneath I strolled forward and arrived in time to see him Hoist the den over the rail of the Elsinore he was Stark naked covered with blood and raving he had cut and sliced himself in the score of places from one wound in the wrist the blood spurted with each beat of the pulse he was a wealthsome non-human thing I have seen the scare the ring in the zoo and for all the world this beastial faced mowing gibbering thing reminded me of the Iran the Sailor surrounded him laying hands on him with straining him the while they guffawed and shared right now left the two mates shoved them away and dragged the lunatic down the deck and into her room in the midship house I could not help marking the strength of Mr Pike and Mr malair I had heard to the Superhuman strength of Mad Men but this particular Mad Men was as a wisp of straw in their hands once into the bunk Mr Pike held down the struggling fool easily with one hand while he dispatched the second mate for Marlin with which to tie the fellow's arms Bug House Mr Pike grinned at me I've seen some Bug House crews in my time but this one's the limit what are you going to do I asked the man will bleed to death and God riddance he answered promptly we'll have our hands full of him until we can lose him somehow when he gets easy I'll sew him up that's all if I have to ease him with a cloud of the job I glanced at the mates huge pie and appreciated this anesthetic qualities out on the deck again I saw Captain West on the poop hand Still In Pockets quite uninterested gazing at a blue break in the sky to the Northeast more than the mates the maniac more than the Duncan callousness of the men did this quiet figure hands and Pockets impress upon me that I was in a different world for many I had known water broke in upon my thoughts by telling me he had been sent to say that Miss West was serving tea in the cabin end of chapter 3. chapter 4 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore the Cyber Vox recording is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 4. the contrast as I entered the cabin was startling all contrasts aboard the Elsinore promised to be startling instead of the cold hard deck my feet sanken the soft carpet in place of the mean and narrow room built of naked iron where I had left the lunatic I was in the spacious and beautiful apartment with the balling of men's voices still in my ears and with the pictures of their drink puffed and filthy faces still Vivid under my eyelids I found myself greeted by a delicate faced prettily gowned woman who sat beside the lacquered Oriental table on which rested and exquisite tea service of Canton China all was Repose and calm the Stuart noiseless footed expressionless was a shadow scarcely noticed that drifted into the room on some service and drifted out again not at once could I relax and miss West serving my tea left and said you look as if you have been seeing things the steward tells me a man has been overboard I fancy the cold water must have sobered him I resented her on concern the man is a lunatic I said this ship is no place for him he should be sent ashore to some Hospital I am afraid if we begin that we'd have to send two-thirds of our compliment ashore one lump yes please I answered but the man is terribly wounded himself he is liable to bleed to death she looked at me for a moment her gray eyes serious and scrutinizing as she passed me my cup then laughter welled up in her eyes and she shook her head reprovingly now please don't begin the voyage by being shocked Mr pathurst such things are very ordinary occurrences you'll get used to them you must remember some queer creatures go down to the Sea and ships the man is safe trust Mr Pike to attend to his wounds I've never sailed with Mr Pike but I've heard enough about him Mr Pike is quite a surgeon last Voyage they say he performed a successful amputation and so elated was he that he turned his attention on the carpenter who happened to be suffering from some sort of indigestion Mr Pike was so convinced of the correctness of his diagnosis that he tried to bribe the carpenter into having his appendix removed she broke off to laugh hardly then added they say he offered the poor man just pounds and pounds of tobacco to consent to the operation but is it safe for the the working of the ship by urge to take such a lunatic along she Shrugged her shoulders as if not intending to reply then said this incident is nothing there are always several lunatics or idiots in every ship's company and they always come aboard filled with whiskey and raving I remember once when we sailed from Seattle a long time ago one such mad man he showed those signs of Madness at all just calmly sees two boarding house Runners and sprang overboard with them we sailed the same day before the bodies were recovered again she Shrugged her shoulders what would you the sea is hard Mr pathurst and for our Sailors we get the worst type of men I sometimes wonder where they find them and we do our best with them and somehow managed to make them Help Us carry on our work in the world but they are low low as I listened and studied her face contrasting her woman's sensitivity and her soft pretty dress with the brute faces and Rags of the men I had noticed I could not help being convinced intellectually of the rightness of her position nevertheless I was hurt sentimentally chiefly I do believe because of the very hardness and unconcerned with which she enunciated her view it was because she was a woman and so different from the sea creatures that I resented her having received such harsh education in the school of the sea I could not help remarking your fathers or or saying fried during the occurrence I ventured he never took his hands from his pockets she cried her eyes sparkled as I nodded confirmation I knew it it's his way I've seen it so often I remember when I was 12 years old my mother was alone we were running into San Francisco it was in the Dixie a ship almost as big as this there was a strong fair wind blowing and father did not take a tug we sailed right through the Golden Gate and up the San Francisco waterfront there was a swift flood tide too and the men both watches were taken in sale as fast as they could now the fault was the steamboat captains he miscalculated our speed and tried to cross our bow then came the cohesion in the Dixie's bow cut through the steamboat cabin and Hall there were hundreds of passengers men women and children father never took his hands from his pockets he sent the mate forward to supervise rescuing the passengers who were already climbing up to our bow spirit and folkso head and in a voice no different from what he'd used to ask someone to pass the butter he told the second mate to set all sail and he told him which sails to begin with but why set more sales I interrupted because he could see the situation don't you see the steamboat was cut wide open all that kept her from sinking instantly was the bow of the Dixie jammed into her side by setting more sale and keeping before the wind he continued to keep the bow of the Dixie jammed I was terribly frightened people who had sprung or Fallen overboard were drowning on each side of us right in my sight as we sailed along up the Waterfront but when I looked at father there he was just as I had always known him Hands In Pockets walking slowly up and down now giving an order to the wheel you see he had to direct the Dixie's course through all the shipping now watching the passengers swarming over our bow and along Our Deck now looking ahead to see his way through the ships that anchor sometimes they did glance at the poor drowning ones but he was not concerned with them of course there were numbers drowned but by keeping his hands in his pockets and his head cool he saved hundreds of lives not until the last person was off the steamboat he sent men aboard to make sure did he take off the press of sail and the steamboat sank at once she ceased and looked at me with shiny knives for approbation it was Splendid I acknowledged I admire the quiet man of power though I confess that such quietness under stress seems to me almost unearthly and Beyond human I can't conceive of myself acting that way and I am confident that I was suffering more while that poor devil was in the water then all the rest of the young workers put together father suffers she defended loyally only he does not show it I bowed for I felt she had missed my point end of chapter 4. chapter 5 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore this Library box recorded and is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 5. I came out from tea in the cabin to find the tug Britannia in sight she was the craft that was to tow us down Chesapeake Bay to Sea strolling forward I noted the Sailor is being routed out of the Foxhole by sundry Byers forever tenderly pressed in his abdomen with his hands another man was helping sundry buyers at routing out the sailors I asked Mr Pike who the man was Nancy my boson ain't he a peach was the answer I got and from the mates manner of annunciation I was quite aware that Nancy had been used derisively Nancy could not have been more than 30 though he looked as if he had lived a very long time he was Toothless and sad and weary of movement his eyes were sweet colored and muddy his shaven face was sickly yellow narrow shouldered sunken chested with cheeks cavernously Hollow he looked like a man in the last stages of consumption little life is sundry buyers showed Nancy showed even less life and these were bosons bosons of the fine American saline ship Elsinore never had any illusion of mine taking a more distressing Cropper it was plain to me that the pair of them spineless and spunquists were afraid of the men they were supposed to boss and the men doray could never have conjured a more delectable hell's broth for the first time I saw them all and I could not blame the two bosons for being afraid of them they did not walk they slouched and shambled some even tottered as from weakness or drink but it was their faces I could not help remembering what Miss West had just told me that ships always sailed with several lunatics or idiots in their cruise but these looked as if they were all lunatic or feeble-minded and I too wondered where such a massive human wreckage could have been obtained there was something wrong with all of them their bodies were twisted their faces distorted and almost without exception they were undersized the several quite fairly large men I marked were vacant faced one man however large and unmistakably Irish was also unmistakably mad he was talking and muttering to himself as he came out a little curved lopsided man with his head on one side and with the shrewdest and wickedest of faces and pale blue eyes addressed an obscene remark to the Mad Irishman calling him O'Sullivan but O'Sullivan took no notice and muttered on on the hills of the little upsided man appeared in overgrown adult of a fat youth followed by another youth so tall and emaciated of body that it seemed as far as she could hold his frame together next after this perambulating skeleton came the weirdest creature I have ever beheld he was a twisted oaf of a man face and body were Twisted as with the pain of a thousand years of torture his was the face of an ill-treated and feeble-minded fawn his large black eyes were bright eager and filled with pain and they flashed questioningly from face to face and to everything about they were so pitifully alert those eyes as if forever a strained to catch the clue to some perplexing and threatening Enigma not until afterwards did I learn the cause of this he was Stone deaf having had his eardrums destroyed in the boiler explosion which had wrecked the rest of him I noticed the steward standing at the galley door and watching the men from a distance his Keen Asiatic face quick with intelligence was a relief to the eye as was the Vivid face of shorty who came out of the Folk Soul with the leap and a gurgle of laughter but there was something wrong with him too he was a dwarf and as I was to come to know his High Spirits in the Low Mentality United to make him a clown Mr Pike stopped beside me in a moment and while he watched the men I watched him the expression on his face was that of a cattle buyer and it was plain that he was disgusted with equality of cattle delivered something the matter with the last Mother's Son of them he growled and still they came one powered ferdivide that I instantly adjudged a drug fiend another a tiny wizard old man pinched face and wrinkled with Beady malevolent blue eyes a third a small well-fledged man who seemed to my eye the most normal and least unintelligent specimen that had yet appeared but Mr Pike's eye was better trained than mine what's the matter with you he's gnarled at the man nothing sir the fellow answered stopping immediately what's your name Mr Pike never spoke to a sailor saved with a snarl Charles Davis sir what are you limping about I ain't limping sir the man answered respectfully and at a nod of dismissal from the mate marched off gently along the deck with a hoodlum swing to the shoulders he's a sailor all right the mate grumbled but I'll bet you a pound of tobacco or a month's wages there's something wrong with him the folks will now seemed empty but the mate turned on the bosons with his customary snarl what the hell are you doing sweeping think this is a rescuer get in there and wrestle them out sundry buyers pressed his abdomen gingerly and hesitated while Nancy his face one dogged long-suffering blakeness reluctantly entered the Folk Soul then from inside we heard Oaths vile and filthy urgings and expostulations on the part of Nancy meekly and pleadingly uttered I noted the Grim and Savage clock that came on Mr Pike's face and was prepared for I knew not what awful monstrosities to emerge from The Folk Soul instead to my surprise game three fellows who were strikingly superior to the rock that had preceded them I looked to see the mates face softened to some sort of approval on the contrary his blue eyes contracted to narrow sweats the snarl of his voice was communicated to his lips so that he seemed like a dog about to bite but the three fellows they were small men all and young men anywhere between 25 and 30. they were roughly dressed they were well dressed and under their clothes their bodily movements showed physical well-being their faces were Keen cut intelligent and though I felt there was something queer about them I could not Define what it was here were no ill-fed whiskey poisoned men such as the rest of the sailors who having drunk up their last paydays had starved ashore until they received and drunk up their Advance money for the present Voyage these three on the other hand were Supple and vigorous their movements were spontaneously quick and accurate perhaps it was the way they looked at me with incurious yet calculating eyes that nothing escaped they seemed so worldly wise so indifferent so sure of themselves I was confident they were not Sailors yet as Shore dwellers I could not place them they were a type I had never encountered possibly I can give a better idea than by describing what occurred as they passed before us they favored Mr Pike with the same indifferent Keen glances they gave me what's your name you Mr Pike barked at the first of the trio evidently a hybrid Irish Jewish is knows unmistakably was equally unmistakable was the Irish of his eyes and jaw and upper lip the three had immediately stopped and though they did not look directly at one another they seemed to be holding the silent conference another of the trio in whose veins ran God Alone knows what's Medic babylonish or Latin strains gave a warning signal oh nothing so crass as a wink or an odd I almost doubted that I had intercepted it and yet I knew he had communicated the warning to his fellows more a shade of expression that had crossed his eyes or a glint in them of sudden light or whatever it was it carried the message Murphy the other answered the mate Sir Mr Pike snarled at him Murphy Shrugged his shoulders and token that he did not understand it was the Poise of the man of the three of them the cool poised that impressed me when you address any officer on this ship you'll say Sir Mr Pike explained his voice is Harsh as his face was forbidding did you get that yes sir Murphy drawled with deliberate slowness I gotcha Sir Mr Pike Road sir Murphy answered so softly and carelessly that it irritated the mate to further Bowie ragging well Murphy's too long he announced nosy will do you aboard this draft got that I gotcha sir came the reply insolent and it's very softness and unconcerned nosy Murphy goes sir and then he left the three of them laughed if laughter it might be called that was laughter without sound or facial movement the eyes alone laughed mirthlessly and cold-bloodedly certainly Mr Pike was not enjoying himself with his baffling personalities he turned upon the leader the one who had given the warning and who looked the admixture of all that was Mediterranean and Semitic what's your name Bert Ryan sir was the reply in tones is soft and careless and silkily irritating as the others and you this to the remaining one the youngest of the trio a dark-eyed olive skin fellow with a face most striking in its Cameo like Beauty American Born I placed him of immigrants from Southern Italy from Naples or even Sicily twist sir he answered precisely in the same manner as the others too long the maid sneered the kid will do you got that I got you sir kid twistle do me sir kiddle do kid sir and the three laughter silent mirthless laugh by this time Mr Pike was beside himself with a rage that could find no excuse for action now I'm going to tell you something the bunch of you for the good of your health the maid's voice greeted with the rage he was suppressing I know you're kind you're dirt do you get that your dirt and on this ship you'll be treated as dirt you do you work like men or I'll know the reason why the first time one of you bats and I or even looks like batting and I he gets his do you get that now get out get along forward to The Windlass Mr Pike turned on his heel and I swung alongside of him as he moved aft what do you make of them I queried the limit he granted I know their kidney they've done time the three of them they're just plain sweepings of hell here his speech was broken off by the spectacle that greeted him a number two hatch sprawled out on the hatch where five or six men among them Larry the tattered Himalayan who had called him old stiff earlier in the afternoon the O'Leary had not obeyed orders was patent for he was sitting with his back propped against his sea bag which ought to have been in the Folk Soul also he and the group with him ought to have been Ford Manning The Windlass the maid stepped upon the hatch and towered over the man get up he ordered Larry made an effort groaned and failed to get up I can't he said sir I can't sir I was drunk last night and slept in Jefferson Market and this morning I was froze tight sir they had to Prime me loose stiff with cold you were yeah the mate grinned it's well you might say it sir Larry answered and you feel like an old stiff eh Larry blinked with the troubled quarrel a size of a monkey he was beginning to apprehend he knew not what and they knew that bending over him was a man master well I'll just be showing you what an old stuff feels like anyways Mr Pike mimic the others broke and now I shall tell what I saw happen please remember what I have said of the huge pause of Mr Pike the finger is much longer than mine and twice as thick the wrists massive boned the arm bones and the shoulder Bones have the same massive order with one flip of his right hand with what I might call an open-handed lifting upward slap save that it was the ends of the fingers only that touched Larry's face he lifted Larry into the air sprawling him backward on his back across the sea bag the man alongside of Larry emitted the menacing growl and started the spring belligerently to his feet but he never reached his feet Mr Pike with the back of the same right hand open smote the man on the side of the face the loud smack of the impact was startling the mate's strength was amazing the blow looked so easy so effortless and it seemed like the lazy stroke of a good-natured bearer but in it with such a weight of bone and muscle the demand went down sideways and rolled off the hatch onto the deck at this moment watching endlessly along the piridoso oven a sudden excess of muttering on his part reached Mr Pike's ear and Mr Pike instantly Keen as a wild animal his pie in the act of striking though Sullivan whipped out like a revolver shot what's that then he noted the scent struck face of O'Sullivan and withheld the blow Bug House Mr Pike commented and voluntarily I had glanced to see if Captain West was on the poop and found that we were hidden from the poop by the midship house Mr Pike taking no notice of the man who lay groaning on the deck stood over Larry who was likewise groaning the rest of the sprawling men were on their feet subdued and respectful I too was respectful of this terrific aged figure of a man the exhibition had quite convinced me of the Verity of his earlier driving and killing days who's the old stiff now he demanded just me sir Larry moaned contritely get up Larry got up without any difficulty at all now get forward to The Windlass the rest of you and they went sullenly shamblingly like the coward boots they were end of chapter 5. chapter 6 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore this Library Fox recording is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 6. I climbed the ladder on the side of the forward house which house contained as I discovered the Folk Soul The Galley and the donkey engine room and went part way along the bridge to a position by the four Mast where I could observe the crew heaving up anchor the Britannia was alongside and we were getting underway a considerable body of men was walking around with a windless or variously engaged on the folks ahead of the crew proper were two watches of 15 men each in addition were sail makers boys bosons and the carpenter nearly 40 men were they but such men they were sad and lifeless there was no Vim no go no activity every step and movement was an effort as if they were dead men raised out of coffins or sick men dragged from hospital beds sick they were whiskey poisoned starved they were and weak from poor nutrition and worst of all they were imbecile and lunatic I looked Aloft at the intricate ropes at the steel masts rising and carrying huge yards of Steel Rising higher and higher until steel masts and yards gave way to Splendor spars of wood while ropes and stays turned into a delicate tracery of spider thread against the sky this such a wretched muck of men should be able to work this magnificent ship through all storm and darkness and Peril of the sea was beyond all seeming I remembered the two mates the super efficiency mental and physical of Mr Bel Air and Mr Pike could they make this human wreckage do it they at least events no doubts of their ability the sea if this feat of Mastery were possible then clear it was that I knew nothing of the sea I looked back at the misshapen starved sick stumbling Hawks of men who trod the dreary round of The Windlass Mr Pike was right these were not the brisk devilish able-bodied men who manned the ships of the old clipper ship days who fought their officers who had the points in their sheath knives broken off who killed and were killed but who did their work as men these men these shambling carcasses at the windows I looked and looked and vainly I strove to conjure the vision of them swinging Aloft in rack and storm clearing the raffle as Kipling puts it with their clasp knives and their teeth why didn't they sing a Chanty as they Hove the anchor up in the old days as I had read the anchor always came up to a relic and sailor song of sea chested men I tired of watching the spiritless performance and went aft on an exploring trip along the Slender Bridge it was a beautiful structure strong yet light traversing the length of the ship in three aerial leaps it spanned from the folks I'll head to the foxel house next to the midship house and then to the poop the poop which was really the roof or deck over all the cabin space below and which occupied the whole after part of the ship was very large it was broken only by the half round and half covered wheelhouse at the very Stern and by the Chart House on either side of the ladder two doors opened into a tiny hallway this in turn gave access to the chart room into a Stairway that led down into the cabin quarters beneath I peeped into the chart room and was greeted with a smile by Captain West he was wallowing back comfortably in the swing chair his feet cocked on the desk opposite on a broad upholstered couch at the pilot both were smoking cigars and lingering for a moment to listen to the conversation I grasped that the pilot was an XC Captain as I descended the stairs from Miss West's room came a sound of humming and bustling as she settled her belongings the energy she displayed to judge by the cheerful noises of it was almost perturbing passing by the pantry I put my head inside the door to greet the steward and courteously let him know that I was aware of his existence here in his little realm it was playing the deficiency rained everything was spotless and in order and I could have wished and wished vainly for a more noiseless servant than he is sure his face as he regarded me had as little or as much expression as the Sphinx but his slant black eyes were bright with intelligence what do you think of the crew I asked in order to put words to my invasion of his castle buggy house he answered promptly with the disgusted Shake of the head too much buggy house all crazy you see no good rotten down to Hell that was all but it verified my own judgment while it might be true as Miss West had said that every ship's crew contained several lunatics and idiots it was a foregone conclusion that our crew contained far more than several in fact and as it was to turn out our crew even in these degenerate sailing days was an unusual crew in so far as its helplessness and worthlessness were beyond the average I found my own room in reality it was two rooms delightful wada had unpacked and stored away my entire outfit of clothing and had filled numerous shelves with the library I had brought along everything was in order and place from my shaving outfit in the drawer beside the wash basin and my sea boots and oil skins hung ready to hand to my writing materials on the desk before which a swing arm chair leather upholstered and screwed solidly to the floor invited me my pajamas and dressing gown were out my slippers and they were custom placed by the bed also invited me here aft always Fitness Intelligence on Deck it was what I have described a nightmare spawn of creatures assumably human but malformed mentally and physically in the caricatures of men yes it was an unusual crew and that Mr Pike and Mr malaire could whip it into the efficient shape necessary to work this mass and intricate and beautiful fabric of a ship was beyond all seeming of possibility depressed as I was by what I had just witnessed on Deck there came to me as I leaned back in my chair and opened the second volume of George Moore's hail and farewell a premonition that the voyage was to be disastrous but then as I looked about the room measure this generous space realized that I was more comfortably situated than I had ever been on any passenger steamer I dismissed foreboding thoughts and caught a pleasant vision of myself through weeks and months catching up with all the necessary reading which I had so long neglected once I asked what if he had seen the crew no he hadn't but the steward had said that in all his years at Sea this was the worst crew he had ever seen he say all crazy no Sailors rotten what is said he say all big fools and bind by much trouble you see he say all the time you C you see he pretty old man 55 years he say very smart man for China man just now first time for a long time he go to see before he have big business in San Francisco then he'd get much trouble police they say he opium smuggle oh big big trouble but he catch good lawyer he no go to jail but a long time lawyer work and when trouble all finish lawyer got all his business all his money everything then he'd go to see like before he make good money he gets 65 dollars a month on this ship but he don't like crew all crazy when this time finished he leaves ship go back start business in San Francisco later when I had wada open one of the ports for ventilation I could hear the gurgle and swish of water alongside and I knew the anchor was up and that we were in the grip of the Britannia Towing down the Chesapeake to see the idea suggested itself that it was not too late I could very easily abandon the adventure and return to Baltimore on the Britannia when she cast off the Elsinore and then I heard a slight tinkling of China from the pantry as the steward proceeded to set the table and also it was so warm and comfortable and George Moore was so irritatingly fascinating end of chapter 6. chapter 7 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore this fibrovox recording is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 7. in every way dinner proved up beyond my expectations and I registered to note that the cook whoever or whatever he might be was a capable man at his trade Miss West served and though she and the steward Were Strangers they worked together splendidly I should have thought from the smoothness of the service that he was an old house servant who for years had known her every way the pilotate in the Chart House saw that a table where the four of us that would always be a table together Captain West and his daughter faced each other while I on the captain's right faced Mr Pike this put Miss west across the corner on my right Mr Pike his dark sack coat put on for the meal bulging and wrinkling over the lumps of muscle that patted his stoop shoulders had nothing at all to say but he had eaten too many years at Captain Stables not to have profitable manners at first I thought he was abashed by Miss West's presence later I decided it was due to the presence of the captain for Captain West had away with him that I was beginning to learn far removed as Mr Pike and Mr melaire were from the sailors and the vigils as they were of an entirely different and Superior breed yet equally is different and far removed from his officers was Captain West he was a Serene and absolute Aristocrat he neither talked ship nor anything else to Mr Pike on the other hand Captain West's attitude towards me was that of a social equal but then I was a passenger Miss West treated me the same way but Anne bent more to Mr Pike and Mr Pike answering her with yes Miss and no Miss eight good men are delayed and with his Shaggy proud gray eyes studied me across the table I too studied him despite his violent past killer and driver that he was I could not help liking the man he was honest genuine almost more than for that I liked him for the spontaneous boyish laugh he gave on the occasions when I reached the points of several funny stories no man could laugh like that and be all bad I was glad that it was he and not Mr malaire who was to sit opposite throughout the voyage and I was very glad that Mr Miller was not to eat with us at all I am afraid that Miss West and I did most of the talking she was Breezy vivacious tonic and I noted again that the delicate almost fragile oval of her face was given the Lie by her body she was a robust healthy young woman that was undeniable not fat heaven forbid not even plump yet her Lions had that swelling roundness that accompanies Long Live muscles she was full-bodied vigorous and yet not so full-bodied as she seemed I remember with what surprise when we arose from table I noted her Splendor waste at that moment I got the impression that she was willowy and willowy she was with the normal waist and width and addition always that informing bodily Vigor that made her appear rounder and robuster than she really was there was the health of her that interested me when I studied her face more closely I saw that only the lines of the oval of it were delicate delicate it was not nor Fragile the flesh was firm and the texture of the skin was firm and fine as it moved over the firm muscles of face and neck the neck was a beautiful and adequate pillar of white its flesh was firm its skin fine and it was muscular the hands too attracted me not small but well-shaped fine white and strong and well cared for I could only conclude that she was an unusual Captain's daughter just as her father was an unusual captain and man and their noses were alike just the hint touch of the beak of power and race well miss West was telling of the unexpectedness of the voyage of how suddenly she had decided to come she accounted for it as a whim and while she told of all the complications she had encountered in her haste of preparation I found myself casting a fatality of the efficient ones on board the Elsinore they were Captain West and his daughter the two mates myself of course wada and the steward and Beyond the shadow of a doubt to cook the dinner vouched for him thus I found our total of efficients to be eight but to cook the Stewart and wada were servants not Sailors well miss West and myself were super numeraries remain to Work Direct do the three efficients out of a total ships company of 45. I had no doubt that other efficients there were it seemed impossible that my first impression of the crew should be correct there was the carpenter he might at his trade be as good as the cook then the two sail makers whom I had not yet seen might prove up a little later during the meal I ventured to talk about what had interested me and aroused my admiration namely the masterfulness with which Mr Pike and Mr melaire had gripped hold of that woeful worthless crew it was all new to me I explained but I appreciated the need of it as I led up to the occurrence on number two hatch when Mr Pike had lifted up Larry and toppled him back with a mere slap from the ends of his fingers I saw in Mr Pike's eyes of warning almost threatening an expression nevertheless I completed my description of the episode when I had quite finished there was a silence Miss West was busy serving coffee from a copper percolator Mr Pike profoundly occupied with tracking walnuts could not quite hide the wicked little half humorous half-revengeful gleam in his eyes but Captain West look straight at me but from oh such a distance millions and millions of miles away his clear blue eyes where his Serene as ever his tones is low and soft there is one rule I asked to be observed Mr pathurst we never discussed the sailors it was a facer to me and with quite a pronounced fellow feeling for Larry I heard they added it was not merely the discipline that interested me it was the feat of strength Sailors of trouble enough without our hearing about them Mr Panthers Captain West went on as evenly and imperturbably as if I had not spoken I leave the handling of the sailors to my officers that's their business and they are quite aware that I tolerate No undeserved roughness or severity Mr Pike's harsh face carried the famous shadow of an amused grin as he stolibly regarded the tablecloth I glanced to miss West for sympathy she left frankly and said you see father never has any Sailors and it's a good plan too a very good plan Mr Pike muttered then miss West kindly led the talk away from that subject and soon had us laughing with his spirited recital of a recent Encounter of hers with the Boston cab driver dinner over I stepped to my room in quest of cigarettes and incidentally asked wada about to cook water was always a great gatherer of information his name Lewis he said he chined him in two no only half other half Englishman you know one Island Napoleon he stopped a long time and by and by die that Island Saint Helena I prompted yes that place where was he born he talked very good English at this moment entering the hall from the deck Mr malware just relieved by the mate passed me on his way to the big room and the stern where the second table was set his good evening sir was the stately and courteous as any Southern gentleman of the old days could have uttered it and yet I could not like the man his outward seeming was so at variance with the personality that resided within even as he spoke and smiled I felt that from inside his skull he was watching me studying me and somehow in a flash of intuition I knew not why I was reminded of the Three Strange young men routed last from The Folk Soul To whom Mr Pike had read the law They too had given me a similar impression behind Mr Miller's and swatched the self-conscious embarrassed individual with the face of a stupid boy in the body of a giant his feet were even larger than Mr Pikes but the hands I shot a quick glance to see we're not so hard just Mr pikes as they passed I looked inquiry to Wada he Carpenter he sat second table his name San lavrov he come from New York on ship Stewart say he very young for Carpenter maybe 22 3 years old as I approached the open port over my desk I again heard the situation gurgle of water and again realized that we were underway so steady and noiseless was our progress that seceded a table it never entered one's head that we were moving or were anywhere Save On Solid land I had been used to Steamers all my life and it was difficult immediately to adjust myself to the absence of the propeller thrust vibration well what do you think I asked wada who like myself had never made a saline ship Voyage he smiled politely very funny ship very funny Sailors I don't know maybe all right we see you think trouble I asked friend of the I think sailor is very funny he evaded end of chapter 7. chapter 8 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore this vibraphox recording is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 8. having lighted my cigarette I strolled forward along the deck to where work was going on above my head dim shapes of canvas showed in the Starlight sale was being made and being made slowly as I might judge who is only the various Tyro in such matters the indistinguishable shapes of men in long lines pulled on ropes they pulled in sick and dogged silence though Mr Pike ubiquitous snarled out orders and wrapped out Oaths from every angle upon their miserable heads certainly from what I had read no ship of the old days ever proceeded so sadly and blunderingly to see air along Mr malaire joined Mr Pike in the struggle of directing the men it was not yet ate in the evening and all hands were at work they did not seem to know the ropes time and again when the half-hearted suggestions of the bosons had been of no avail I saw one or the other of the mates leaped to the rail and put the right rope in the hands of the men these on the deck I concluded were the Hopeless ones up Aloft from sounds and cries I knew were other men undoubtedly those that were at least a little semen like we've seen the sails but on Deck 20 or 30 of the poor Devils tailed on the rope that hoisted a yard would pull without concerted effort and with painfully slow movements walk away with it Mr Pike would yell and perhaps for two or three yards they would manage to walk with a rope there they came to a halt like stalled horses on a hill and yet did either of the mates bring in and add his strength they were able to move right along the deck without stopping either of the mates old men that they were were muscularly worth half a dozen of The Wretched creatures this is what sailings come to Mr Pike pause this Norton my ear this ain't the place for an officer down here pulling and Hauling but what can you do when the bosons are worse than the men I thought sailor sang songs when they pulled I said sure they do want to hear them I knew there was malice of some sort in his voice but I answered that I'd like to very much here you bows and Mr Pike snarled wake up start a song Topsail halyards and the pause that followed I could have sworn that sundry Byers was pressing his hands against his abdomen while Nancy infinite bleakness freezing upon his face was wetting his whips to begin Nancy it was who began for from no other man I was confident could have issued so seppukuro a plaint it was unmusical unbeautiful unlively and Indescribable doleful yet the word showed that it should have ripped and crackled with High Spirits and lawlessness for the words for Nancy saying were away way way Yar will kill Patty Doyle for bus boots Credit Credit Mr Pike Road this ain't a funeral ain't there one of you that can sing come on now it's a top sale yard he broke off to LEAP into the pin Rail and get the wrong rope out of the men's hands to put into them the right rope come on boson break her out then out of the Gloom arose sundry buyer's voice cracked and crazy and even more lugubrious than Nancy's then up off that yard may go whiskey for my Johnny the second line was supposed to be the chorus but not more than two men feebly mumbled it sundry buyers quavored the next line oh whiskey killed by sister Sue then Mr Pike took a hand seizing the hauling part next to the pin and lifting his voice with a rare snap and devilishness and whiskey killed the old man too whiskey for my Johnny he sang The Devil May Caroline's on and on lifting the crew to the work into the chorus emphasis of whiskey for my Johnny and to his voice they pulled they moved they sang and were alive until he interrupted the song to cry boy and then all the life and the wealth went out of them and they were again monitoring and futile things getting in one another's ways stumbling and shuffling through the darkness hesitating the grasp ropes and when they did take hold invariably taking hold to the wrong rope first skulkers they were among them too and once from forward to the midship house I heard smacks and curses and groans and out of the darkness hurriedly had merged two men on their heels Mr Pike who chanted the recital of the distressing things that would befall them if he caught them at such tricks again the whole thing was too depressing for me to care to watch further so I strolled aft and climbed the poop and the way of the Chart House Captain West and the pilot were pacing slowly up and down passing on aft I saw Starion at the wheel the reason the little old man I had noted earlier in the day in the light of the Pinnacle his small blue eyes looked more malevolent than ever so reasoned and Tiny was he and so large was the brass studded wheel that they seemed of a height his face was withered scorched and wrinkled and in all seeming he was 50 years older than Mr Pike he was the most remarkable figure of a burned out aged man one would expect to find able Seaman on one of the proudest sailing ships afloat later through wada I was to learn that his name was Andy Fay and that he claimed no more years than 63. I leaned against the rail in the Lee of the Wheelhouse and stared up at the lofty spiers and Madrid ropes that I could yes were there no I decided I was not keen on the voyage the whole atmosphere of it was wrong there were the cold hours I had waited on the pier ends there was Miss West coming along there was the crew of broken men in the lunatics I wondered if the wounded Greek in the midship house was still givered and if Mr Pike had yet sewed him up and I was quite sure I would not care to witness such a transaction in surgery even wada who had never been in the sailing ship had his doubts of the voyage so would the steward who had spent most of a lifetime in sailing ships so far as Captain West was concerned Cruz did not exist and as for Miss West she was so abominably robust that she could not be anything else than an optimist in such matters she had always lived her red blood sang to her only that she would always live and that nothing evil would ever happen to her glorious personality oh trust me I knew the way of red blood such was my condition that the red blood health of Miss West was virtually an affront to me for I knew how I'm thinking and then moderate such blood could be and for five months at least there was Mr Pikes offered wager of a pound of tobacco or a month's wages to that effect I was to be pent on the same ship with her as sure as Cosmic sap was Cosmic sap just that sure was I that aired The Voyage was over I should be pestered by her making love to me please do not mistake me my certainty in this matter was due not to any exalted sense of my own desirableness to women but to my anything but exalted concept of women as instinctive huntresses of men in my experience women hunted men with quite the same blind tropism that marks The Pursuit Of The Sun by The Sunflower the pursuit of attachable surfaces by the tendrils of the Grapevine call me Boise I do not mind if by blase has meant the world weariness intellectual artistic sensation additional which can come to a young man of thirty for I was 30 and I was wary of all these things weary and in doubt it was because of this state that I was undertaking The Voyage I wanted to get away by myself to get away from all these things and with proper perspective mow the matter over it sometimes seemed to me that the culmination of this world sickness had been brought about by the success of my play my first play as everyone knows but it had been such a success that it raised the doubt in my own mind just as the success of my several volumes of verse had raised doubt was the public right were the critics right surely the function of the artist was the voice life yet what did I know of life so you begin to Glimpse what I meant by the world sickness that Afflicted me really I had been and was very sick mad thoughts of isolating myself entirely from the world had hounded me I had even canvassed the idea of going to Molokai and devoting the rest of my years to the lepers I who was 30 years old and healthy and strong who had no particular tragedy who had a bigger income than I knew how to spend who by my own achievement had put my name on the lips of men and proved myself of power to be reckoned with I was that mad that I had considered the laser house for a destiny perhaps it will be suggested that success had turned my head very well granted but the turned head remains a fact an incontrovertible fact my sickness if you will and a real sickness and a fact this I knew I had reached an intellectual and artistic climacteric a life climacteric of some sort and I had diagnosed my own case and prescribed this voyage and here was the atrociously healthy and profoundly feminine Miss West along the very last ingredient I would have considered introducing into my prescription a woman woman heaven knows I had been sufficiently tormented by their persecutions to know them I leave it to you 30 years of age not entirely unhansome and intellectual and artistic place in the world and an income most dazzling why shouldn't women pursue me they would have forsued me had I been a hunchback for the sake of my artistic Place alone for the sake of my income alone yes and love did I not know Love lyric passionate mad romantic love that too was of old time with me I too had throbbed and sung and sobbed and sighed yes and known grief and buried my dead but it was so long ago how young I was turned 24. and after that I had learned the bitter lesson that even deathless grief may die and I had laughed again and done my share of philandering with the pretty ferocious moths that fluttered around the light of my fortune and Artistry and after that in turn I had retired disgusted from the lists of women and had gone on long lands breaking adventures in the realm of mine and here I was on board the Elsinore unhorsed by my encounters with the problems of the ultimate carried off the field with a broken pate as I leaned against the rail dismissing premonitions of disaster I could not help thinking of Miss West below bustling and humming as she made her little nest and from her my thoughts drifted onto the Everlasting mystery of woman yes I with all the futuristic contempt for woman am ever caught up afreshed by the mystery of woman oh no Illusions thank you woman the love Seeker obsessing and possessing fragile and fierce soft and feminists prouder than Lucifer and his pride was holds a Perpetual almost morbid attraction for The Thinker what is this flame of herb blazing through all her contradictions and ignobilities this Ruth was passion for life always for life more life on the planet at times it seems to me Brazen and awful and soloist at times I have made petulant by it and at other times I am swayed by the Sublimity of it no There Is No Escape from woman always as the Savage returns to a dark Glen where goblins are and gods may be so do I return to the contemplation of women Mr Pike's voice interrupted my musings from forward on the main deck I heard him snarl on the main Topsail yard there if you cut that gasket I'll split your damn skull again he called with a marked change of voice and the Henry he called to I concluded was the training ship boy you Henry Maine Sky sail yard there he cried don't make those gaskets up fetch them along in the yard and make fast to the tie thus routed from my reverie I decided to go below to bed as my hand went out to the knob of the Chart House door again the mates voice rang out come on you gentlemen sons in Disguise wake up Lively now end of chapter 8. chapter 9 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore this Library box recording is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 9. I did not sleep well to begin with I read late not till two in the morning did I reach up and turn out to kerosene reading lamp which wada had purchased and installed for me I was asleep immediately perfect sleep being perhaps my greatest gift but almost immediately I was awake again and thereafter with dozings and Cat naps and Restless tossings I struggled to win to sweep then gave it up for of all things in my state of jangled nerves to be afflicted with hives and still again to be afflicted with hives in cold winter weather at four I light it up and went to reading forgetting my irritated skin and Vernon Lee's delightful screed against William James and his will to believe I was on the weather side of the ship and from overhead through the deck came the steady footfalls of some officer on watch I knew that they were not the steps of Mr Pike and wondered whether they were Mr malares or the pilots somebody above there was awake the work was going on the Vigilant scene and overseeing that I could plainly conclude would go on through every hour of all the hours on the voyage at half past four I heard the steward's alarm go off instantly suppressed and five minutes later I lifted my hand to motion him in through my Open Door what I desired was a cup of coffee and water had been with me through too many years for me to doubt that he had given the steward precise instructions and turned over to him my coffee and my coffee making apparatus the steward was a jewel in 10 minutes he served me with a perfect cup of coffee I read on until daylight and half past eight found me breakfast in bed finished dressed and shaved and on Deck we were still Towing but all sales were set to a light favoring Breeze from the north and the chart room Captain West and the pilot were smoking cigars at the wheel I noted what I decided at once was an efficient he was not a large man if anything he was undersized but his continence was broad-browd and intelligently formed Tom I later Learned was his name Tom an Englishman he was blue-eyed fair-skinned well-grizzled and to the eye a hail 50 years of age his reply of good morning sir was Jerry and he smiled as he uttered the simple phrase he did not look sailor-like as did Henry the training ship boy and yet I felt it once that he was a sailor and an able one it was Mr Pike's watch and on asking him about Tom he grudgingly admitted that the man was the best of the boiling Miss West emerged from the Chart House with a Rosy morning face and her vital springy limb movement and immediately began establishing her contacts on asking how I had slept and when I said wretchedly she demanded an explanation I told her of my Affliction of hives and shoulders the lumps on my wrists your blood needs thinning and cooling she had judged promptly wait a minute I'll see what can be done for you and with that she was away and below and back in the twice in her hand apart glass of water into which she stirred a teaspoonful of cream of tartar drink it she ordered doesn't matter of course I drank it and at 11 in the morning she came up to my deck chair with a second dose of the stuff also she reproached me soundly for permitting water to feed meat to possum it was from her that wada and I learned how mortal Ascend it was to give meat to a young puppy furthermore she laid down the law and the diet for possum not alone to me and water but to the steward the Carpenter and Mr malware of the latter two because they ate by themselves in the big after room and because possum played there she was especially suspicious and she was outspoken in voicing her suspicions to their faces the carpenter mumbled and bearish the separations in broken English of past present and future innocence that while he humbly scraped and shuffled before her on his huge feet Mr Miller's protestations were of the same nature saved that they were prayed with the grace and suavity of a Chesterfield in short Possum's diet raised quite a tempest in the Elsinore teapot and by the time it was over Miss West had established this particular contact with me and given me a feeling that we were the mutual owners of the puppy I noticed later in the day that it was to miss West that water went for instructions as to the quantity of warm water he must use to dilute Possum's condensed milk lunch one my continued approbation of the cook in the afternoon I made a trip forward to the galley to make his acquaintance to all intents he was the Chinese until he spoke where a fun measured by his speech alone he was an Englishman in fact so cultured was the speech that I can fairly say it was vested with an Oxford accent he too was old fully sixty he acknowledged 59. three things about him were markedly conspicuous his smile that embraced all his clean-shaven Asiatic face and Asiatic eyes his even rode white and Perfect Teeth which I deemed false until water ascertained otherwise for me and his hands and feet it was his hands ridiculously small and beautifully modeled that led by scrutiny to his feet they too were ridiculously small and very neatly almost undefightedly shod we had put the pilot off at midday but the Britannia told us well into the afternoon and did not cast us off until the ocean was wide about us and the land of faint Blair on the western Horizon here at the moment of leaving the tug we made our departure that is to say technically began the voyage despite the fact that we had already traveled a full 24 hours away from Baltimore it was about the time of casting off when I was waiting on the poop rail gazing forward when Miss West joined me she had been busy below all day and had just come up as she put it for a breath of air she surveyed the sky and weather-wise fashioned for a full five minutes then remarked the barometer is very high 30.60 this light North Wind won't last it will either go into a calm or work around into a Northeast Gale which would you prefer I asked the Gale by all means it will help us off the land and it will put me through my torment of seasickness more quickly oh yes she added I'm a good sailor but I do suffer dreadfully at the beginning of every Voyage you probably won't see me for a couple of days now that's why I've been so busy getting settled first Lord Nelson I have read never got over his squeamishness at Sea I said and I've seen father seasick on occasion she answered yes and some of the strongest hardest Sailors I have ever known Mr pikar joined us for a moment ceasing from his Everlasting pacing up and down to lean with us on the poop rail many of the crew were in evidence pulling on ropes on the main deck below us to my inexperienced eye they appeared more unprepossessing than ever a pretty scraggly crew Mr Pike Miss West remarked the worst ever he growled and I've seen some pretty bad ones we're teaching him the ropes just now most of them they look starved I commented they are they almost always are Miss West answered and her eyes roved over them in the same appraising cattle buyers fashion I had marked in Mr Pike but they'll fatten up with regular hours no risky and solid food won't they Mr Pike oh sure they always do and you'll see them liven up when we get them in hand maybe they're amazingly a lot though I looked Aloft at the vast towers of canvas our four masks seemed to have flowered into all the sales possible yet the sailors beneath this under Mr melaire's direction we're setting triangular sails like jibs between the Mast and there were so many that they overlapped one another this loudness and clumsiness with which the men handled these small sails led me to ask but what would you do Mr Pike with a green crew like this if you were caught right now in the storm with all this canvas spread he Shrugged his shoulders as if I had asked what he would do on an earthquake with two rows of New York skyscrapers falling on his head from both sides to the street do miss West answered for him we'd get the sale off oh it could be done Mr pathurst with any kind of crew if it couldn't I should have been drowned long ago sure Mr Pike up Elder so would I the officers can perform Miracles with the most worthless Sailors in a pinch Miss West went on again Mr Pike nodded his head and agreed and I know that his two big paws relaxed the moment before and drooping over the rail quite unconsciously tensed and folded themselves into Fists also I noted fresh abrasions on the knuckles Miss West laughed heartily as from some recollection I remember one time when we sailed from San Francisco with the most hopeless crew it was in the Lila rock you remember her Mr Pike your father's fifth command he nodded lost on the west coast afterwards one is sure in that big earthquake and tidal wave part of their anchors and when she hid under the cliff the cliff fell on her that's the ship well our crew see mostly Cowboys and bricklayers and Tramps and more tramps than anything else where the boarding house masters got them was beyond imagining a number of them were Shanghai that was certain you should have seen them when they were first on Aloft again she laughed it was better than circus clowns and scarcely had the tug cast this off outside the heads when it began to blow up and we began to shorten down and then our mates perform Miracles you remember Mr Harding Silas Harding don't I though Mr Pike proclaimed enthusiastically he was some man and he must have been an old man even then he was and a terrible man she concurred and added almost reverently and a wonderful man she turned her face to me he was our mate the men were seasick and miserable and green but Mr Harding got sale off the Lila Rock just the same what I wanted to tell you was this I was on the poop just like I am now and Mr Harding had a lot of those miserable sick men putting gaskets on the main lower Topsail how far would that be above the deck Mr Pike let me see the Iowa Rook Mr Pike Paws to consider oh say around 100 feet I saw it myself one of the green hands the and he must already have got a taste of Mr Harding fell off the lower Topsail yard I was only a little girl but it looked like certain death for he was falling from the weather side to the yard straight down on Deck but he fell into the belly of the Mainsail breaking his fall turn the somersault and landed on his feet on deck and unhurt and he landed right beside of Mr Harding facing him I don't know which was the more astonished but I think Mr Harding was for he stood there petrified he had expected the man to be killed not so the man he took one look at Mr Harding then made a wild jump for the rigging and climbed right back up to that Topsail yard Miss West and the mate laughed so heartily that they scarcely heard me say astonishing think of the jar to the man's nerve falling to apparent death that way he'd been Jarred Harder by Silas Harding I guess was Mr Pike's remark with another burst of laughter in which Miss West joined which was over very well in the way ships were ships and judging from what I had seen of our present crew harsh treatment was necessary but that a young woman of the niceness of Miss West should know of such things and be so saturated in this side of ship life was not nice it was not nice for me though it interested me I confess and strengthened my grip on reality yet it meant a hardening of one's fibers and I did not like to think of Miss West being so hardened I looked at her and could not help marking again the fineness and firmness of her skin her hair was dark as were her eyebrows which were almost straight and rather low over her long eyes gray her eyes were a warm gray and very steady and Direct in expression intelligent and Alive perhaps taking her face as a whole the most noteworthy expression of it was a great calm she seemed always in Repose that peace with herself and with the external world the most beautiful feature were her eyes framed in lashes as dark as her brows and hair the most admirable feature was her nose quite straight very straight and just the slightest trifle too long and this it was reminiscent of her father's nose but the perfect modeling of the bridge and nostrils conveyed and Indescribable advertisement of race and blood hers was a swing overlapped sensitive sensible and generous mouth generous not so much in size which was quite average but generous rather intolerance and power and in laughter all the health and buoyancy of her was in her mouth as well as in her eyes she rarely exposed her teeth and smiling for which purpose she seemed chiefly to employ her eyes but when she laughed she showed strong white teeth even not babyish and no smallness but just the firm sensible normal size one would expect in a woman is healthy and normal as she I would never have called her beautiful and yet she possessed many of the factors that go to compose feminine beauty she had all the beauty of coloring of white skin that was healthy white and that was emphasized by the darkness of her lashes brows and hair and in the same way the darkness of lashes and brows and the whiteness of skin set off the warm gray of her eyes the forehead was well medium Broad and medium high and quite smooth no lines or hints of lines were there suggestive of nervousness of blue days of depression and white nights of insomnia she bore all the marks of a healthy human female who never worried nor was vexed in the spirit of her and in his body every process and function was frictionless and automatic Miss West is posed to me as quite a weather Prophet I said to the mate now what is your forecast of our coming weather she had to be was Mr Pike's reply as he lifted his glance across the smooth swell of sea to the sky this ain't the first time she's been on the North Atlantic in Winter he debated a moment as he studied the sea and sky I should say considering the high barometer we ought to get a mild Gale from the northeast or a comb with the chances in favor of the calm she favored me with a triumphant smile and suddenly clutched the rail as the Elsinore lifted on an unusually large swell and sank into the trough with a roll from Windward that flapped all the sails in Hall of Thunder the column has it Miss West said with just a hint of grimness and if this keeps up I'll be in my bunk in about five minutes she waved aside all sympathy oh don't bother about me Mr pathurst seasickness is only detestable and horrid like sweet and muddy weather and poison ivy besides I'd rather be seasick than have the hives something went wrong with the men below us on the deck some stupidity or blunder that was made of wear To Us by Mr Miller's raised voice like Mr Pike he had a way of snarling at the sailors that was distinctly unpleasant to the air on the faces of several of the sailors bruises were in evidence one in particular had an eye so swollen that it was closed looks as if he had run against a stanchion in the dark I observed most eloquent and most unconscious was the quick flash of Miss West's eyes to Mr Pike's big paws with freshly abraded Knuckles resting on the rail it was the stab of hurt to me she knew end of chapter 9. chapter 10 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore describe revox recording is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 10. that evening the three men of us had dinner alone with racks on the table while the Elsinore rolled in the calm that had sent Miss West to her room you won't see her for a couple of days Captain West told me her mother was the same way a born sailor but always sick at the outset of a voyage it's the shaking down Mr Pike astonished me with the longest observation I had yet heard him utter a table everybody has to shake down when they leave the land we've got to forget the good times on Shore and the good things money will buy and start watch and watch four hours on deck and four below and it comes hard and all our tempers are strung until we can make the change did it happen that you heard Caruso and Blanche around this winter in New York Mr pathurst I nodded still marveling over this Spate of speech at table well think of hearing them and Homer and Witherspoon and a motto every night for nights and nights at the Metropolitan and then to give it to go by and get to see and shake down to watch and watch you don't like to see I queried his side I don't know but of course the sea is all I know except music I threw in yes but the sea and all the long voyaging has cheated me out of most of the music I ought to have had coming to me I suppose you've heard Schumann Hank wonderful wonderful he murmured fervently then regarded me with an eager wistfulness I have half a dozen of her records and I've got the second dog watch below if Captain West don't mind Captain West nodded that he didn't mind and if you'd want to hear them the machine is a good one and then to my amazement when the steward had cleared the table this horrio relic of man killing and man driving days battered way for the sea that he was carried in from his room a most Splendid collection of phonograph records these and the Machine he placed on the table the big doors were opened making the dining room in the main cabin into one large room it was in the cabin that Captain West and I hauled in big leather chairs well Mr Pike ran the phonograph his face was in a blaze of light from The Swinging lamps and every shade of expression was visible to me in vain I waited for him to start some popular song his records were only of the best and the care he took of them was a revelation he handled each one reverently as a sacred thing untying and unwrapping it and brushing it with a fine camel's hair brush while it revolved and air replaced the needle on it for a time all I could see was the huge brood hands of a brute driver was skinned off the knuckles that expressed love in their every movement each touch on the desks was a caress and while the record played he hovered over it and dreamed in some Heaven of music all his own during this time Captain West lay back and smoked a cigar his face was expressionless and he seemed very far away Untouched by the music I almost doubted that he heard it he made no remark between Wiles betrayed no sign of approbation or disclosure he seemed pretty naturally Serene preternaturally remote and while I watched him I wondered what his duties were I had not seen him for four many Mr Pike had attended to the loading of the ship not until she was ready for sea had Captain West come on board I had not seen him give an order it looked to me that Mr Pike and Mr Malera did the work all Captain West did was smoke cigars and keep blissfully oblivious to the elsinore's crew when Mr Pike had played the Hallelujah Chorus from the Messiah and he shall feed his flock he mentioned to me almost apologetically that he likes Sacred Music and for the reason perhaps that for a short period a child Insurance San Francisco he had been a choir boy and then I hit the domini over the head with a baseball bat and sneaked off to see again he concluded with a harsh laugh and there at he felt a dreaming while he played Myra beers king of heaven and Mendelson's o rest in the Lord when one Bell struck at quarter to eight he carried his music all carefully wrapped back into his room I lingered with him while he rolled a cigarette air eight Bells struck I've got a lot more good things he said confidentially Cohen's come on to me and flowers crucifix and there's oscillarius and the lead kindly light by the Trinity choir and Jesus Lover of My Soul would just melt your heart I'll play him for you some night do you believe in them I was led to ask by his wrapped expression and by the picture of his fruit driving hands which I could not shake from my consciousness he hesitated perceptibly then replied I do when I'm listening to them my sleep that night was wretched short of sweep from the previous night I closed my book and turned my light off early but scarcely had I dropped into Slumber when I was aroused by the recrudescence of my hives all day they had not bothered me yet the instant I put out the light and slept the damnable persistent itching set up wada had not yet gone to bed and from him I got more cream of tartar it was useless however and at midnight when I heard the watch changing I partially dressed slipped into my dressing gown and went up onto the poop I saw Mr Miller beginning his four hours watch pacing up and down the port side of the poop and I swept away aft past the man at the wheel whom I did not recognize and took refuge in the Lee of the Wheelhouse once again I studied the dim Loom and tracery an intricate rigging and lofty sail carrying spars thought of the Mad imbecile crew and experienced premonitions of disaster how can such a voyage be possible with such a crew on the huge Elsinore A Cargo Carrier that was only a steel shell half an inch thick burdened with five thousand tons of coal it was appalling to contemplate The Voyage had gone wrong from the first and The Wretched unbalanced that loss of sway brings to any good sweeper I could decide only that the voyage was doomed yet how doomed it was in truth neither I nor a Madman could have dreamed I thought of the red-blooded Miss West who had always lived and had no doubts but what she would always live I thought of the killing and driving and music loving Mr Pike many a hail or Remnant than he had gone down on a last Voyage as for Captain West he did not count he was too neutral at being too far away a sort of favored passenger who had nothing to do but serenely and passively exist in some Nirvana of his own creating next I remembered the South wounded Greek sewed up by Mr Pike and lion gibbering between the steel walls of the midship house this picture almost decided me for in my fevered imagination he typified the whole mad helpless idiotic crew certainly I could go back to Baltimore thank God I had the money to humor my whims had not Mr Pike told me in reply to a question did he estimated the running and expenses of the Elsinore 200 a day I could afford to pay 200 a day or two thousand for the several days that it might be necessary to get me back to land to a pilot tug or any inbound craft to Baltimore I was quite holy of a mind to go down and Route out Captain West to tell him my decision when another presented itself then Are You The Thinker and philosopher the world sick one afraid to go down to cease in the darkness ba my own pride and my life pridelessness saved Captain West's sweet from interruption of course I would go on with the adventure if Adventure it might be called to go sailing around Cape Horn with a shipload of Fools and the lunatics and worse for I remembered the three babylonish and Semitic ones who had aroused Mr Pike's ire and who had laughed so terribly and silently night thoughts Sleepless thoughts I dismissed them all and started chilled through by the cold but at the chart room door I encountered Mr melaire a pleasant evening sir he greeted me a Pity there's not a little wind to help us off the land what do you think of the crew I asked after a moment or so Mr malware Shrugged his shoulders I've seen many queer crews in my time Mr pathurst but I never saw one as Queer as this boys old men triples and you saw Tony the Greek go overboard yesterday well that's only the beginning here's the sample I've got a big Irishman In My Watch Who's going bad did you notice a little dried up Scotchman who looks mean and angry all the time and who was staring the evening before last the very one Andy Faye well Andy Faye's just been complaining to me about osullivan says O'Sullivan's threatened his wife when Andy Faye went off watch at eight he found a soul of his dropping a razor I'll give you the conversation as Andy gave it to me says O'Sullivan to me Mr Faye I'll have a word with you certainly says I what can I do for you sell me your sea boots Mr Faye says O'Sullivan polite as can be but what will you be wanting of them says I which will be a great favor says O'Sullivan but it's my only pair says I and you have a pair of your own says I Mr Faye I'll be needing me on in bad weather says O'Sullivan the side says I you have no money I'll pay you for them when we pay off in Seattle says O'Sullivan I'll not do it says I besides you're not telling me what you'll be doing with them but I will tell you say so so often I'm wanting to throw them over the side and with that I turned to walk away but O'Sullivan says very polite and seducing like still a strap in the razor Mr Faye says he will you kindly step this way and have your throat cut and with that I knew my life was in danger and I have come to make report to you sir that the man is a violent lunatic or soon will be I remarked I noticed him yesterday a big man muttering continually to himself that's the man Mr Miller said do you have many such at Sea I asked more than my share I do believe sir he was riding the cigarette at the moment and with a quick movement he pulled off his cap bent his head forward and held up the Blazing match that I might see I saw a grizzled head the full crown of which was not entirely bald but partially covered with a few sparse long hairs and fall across this Crown disappearing in the thicker Fringe above the ears ran the most prodigious scar I had ever seen because the vision of it was so fleeting or the magical you out and because of the scars very prodigiousness I may possibly exaggerate but I could have sworn that I could lay two fingers deep into the horrid cleft and that it was fully two fingers broad there seemed no bone at all just a great fissure a deep valley covered with skin and I was confident that the brain pulsed immediately under that skin he pulled his cap on and laughed in an amused reassuring way a crazy sea cook did that Mr Panthers with the Mead ax we were thousands of miles from anywhere in the South Indian Ocean at the time running our easting down but the cook got the idea into his adult head that we relying in Boston Harbor and that I wouldn't let him go ashore I add my back to him at the time and I never knew what struck me but how could you recover from so fearful and injury I questioned there must have been a splendid surgeon on board and you must have had wonderful Vitality he shook his head it must have been the vitality and the Molasses molasses yes the captain had old-fashioned prejudices against antiseptics he always used Molasses for fresh wound dressings I lay on my bunk many weary weeks we had a long passage and by the time we reached Hong Kong the thing was healed there was no need for a Shore surgeon and I was standing my third mate's watch we carried third mates in those days not for many a long day was I had to realize the dire part that Scar and Mr malware's head was to play in his Destiny and in the destiny of the Elsinore had I known at the time Captain West would have received the most unusual Awakening from sleep that he ever experienced for he would have been routed out by a very determined partially dressed passenger with a proposition capable of going to the extent of buying the Elsinore outright with all her cargo that she might be sailed straight back to Baltimore as it was I merely thought that a very marvelous thing that Mr Miller should have lived so many years with such a hole in his head we talked on and he gave me many details of that particular happening and of other happenings at Sea on the part of the lunatics that seemed to infest the sea and yet I could not like the man and nothing he said nor in the manner of saying things could I find fault he seemed generous broad-minded and for a sailor very much of a man of the world it was easy for me to overlook his excessive suavity of speech and super courtesy of social mannerism it was not that but all the time I was distressingly and I suppose intuitively aware though in the darkness I couldn't even see his eyes that they're Behind These Eyes inside that skull was ambuscated and alien personality that spied upon me measured me studied me and that said one thing while I thought another thing when I said good night and went below it was with the feeling that I had been talking with the one half of some sort of a dual creature the other half had not spoken yet I sensed that they are fluttering and quick behind the mask of words and Flash end of chapter 10. chapter 11 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore the cyberfox recording is in the public domain Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 11. but I could not sleep I took more cream of tartar it must be the heat of the bed clothes I decided that excited my hives and yet whenever I see struggling for sleep and lighted the lamp and red my skin irritation decreased but as soon as I turned out the lamp and closed my eyes I was troubled again so hour after hour passed through which between vain attempts to sweep I managed to Wade through many pages of rosney's ultramite a not very cheerful proceeding I must say concerned as it is with a microscopic and over elaborate recital of Noel cervases tortured nerves bodily pains and intellectual phantasma At Last I tossed the novel aside damned all analytical Frenchmen and found some measure of relief in the more genial and cynical stand how over my head I could hear Mr Miller steadily Pace up and down at four the watches changed and I recognized the age lag in Mr Pike's Promenade half an hour later just as the Stewart's alarm went off instantly checked by that light sweeping Asiatic they all snore began to heal over on my side I could hear Mr Pike barking and snarling orders and at times a trample and Shuffle of many feet passed over my head as the weird crew fold and hauled the Elsinore continued to heal over until I could see the water against my port and then she gathered way and dashed ahead at such a rate that I could hear the stinging and singing of the foam through the circle of thick glass beside me the Stewart brought me coffee and I read till daylight and after when water served me breakfast and helped me dress he too complained of inability to sleep he had been bunked with Nancy in one of the rooms in the midship house wada described the situation the tiny room made of steel was airtight when the steel door was closed and Nancy insisted on keeping the door closed as a result wada and the upper bunk had stifled he told me that the air had got so bad that the flame of the lamp no matter how high it was turned guttered down and all but refused to burn Nancy snored beautifully through it all while he had been unable to close his eyes he is not clean quothwata he is a pig no more will I sleep in that place on the proof I found the Elsinore with many of her sails furled slicing along through a troubled sea under an overcast Sky also I found Mr Miller marching up and down just as I had left him hours before and it took quite a distinct effort for me to realize that he had had the watch off between four and eight even then he told me he had slept from four until half past seven that is one thing Mr pathurst I always sleep like a baby which means a good conscious sir yes a good conscience and while he enunciated the platitude I was uncomfortably aware that that alien thing inside his skull was watching me studying me in the cabin Captain West smoked a cigar and read the Bible Miss West did not appear and I was grateful that to my sleeplessness the curse of seasickness had not been added without asking permission of anybody wada arranged a sleeping place for himself in the far corner of the big after room screening the corner with a solidly lashed wall of my trunks and empty book boxes it was a dreary enough day no sun with occasional splatters of rain and a persistent crash of seas over the weather Rail and swash of water across the deck with my eyes glued to the cabin ports which gave forward along the main deck I could see The Wretched Sailors whenever they were given some task of fall and Hall wet through and through by the boarding Seas several times I saw some of them taken off their feet and rolled about in the creaming foam and yet erect and staggering with certitude of weight and strength among these rolled men these clutching cowering ones moved either Mr Pike or Mr malaire they were never taken off their feet they never shrank away from a splash of spray or heavier bulk of downfalling water they had fed on different food were informed with a different Spirit or of iron in contrast with the poor durables they drove to their bidding in the afternoon I dozed for half an hour in one of the big chairs in the cabin had it not been for the violent motion of the ship I could have swept there for hours for the hives did not trouble Captain West stretched out on the cabin sofa his feet and carpet sweepers swept enviably by some Instinct I might say in the Deep of soy he kept his place and was not rolled off upon the floor also he likely held a half-smoked cigar in one hand I watched him for an hour and knew him to be asleep and marveled did he maintained his easy posture and did not drop the cigar after dinner there was no phonograph the second dog watch was Mr Pikes on Deck besides as he explained the rolling was too severe it would make the needle jump and scratch his beloved records and no sleep another weary night of torment and another dreary overcast day and leaden troubled sea and no Miss West what a two is seasick although heroically he kept his feet and tried to tend on me with glassy unseen eyes I sent him to his bunk and read through the endless hours until my eyes were tired and my brain between lack of sleep and overuse was Fuzzy Captain West is no conversationalist the more I see of him the more I am baffled I have not yet found a reason for that first impression I received of him he has all the Poise and heir of a remote and Superior being and yet I wonder if it not be poised an error and nothing else just as I had expected that first meeting Aries spoke a word to hear fall from his lips words of Untold beneficence and wisdom and then heard him utter mere social common places so now I find myself almost forced to conclude that his Touch of race and Beak of power and all the tall aristocratic slenderness of him have nothing behind them and yet on the other hand I can find no reason for rejecting that first impression he has not shown any strength but by the same token he has not shown any weakness sometimes I wonder what resides behind those clear blue eyes so certainly I have failed to find any intellectual backing I tried him out with William James varieties of religious experience he glanced at a few pages then returned it to me with a Frank's statement that it did not interest him he has no books of his own evidently he is not a reader then what is he I dared to feel him out on politics he listened courteously said sometimes yes and sometimes no and when I ceased from very discouragement said nothing aloof as the two officers are from the men Captain West is still more aloof from his officers I have not seen him address a further word to Mr malware then good morning on the poop as for Mr Pike who eats three times today with him scarcely any more conversation obtains between them and I am surprised by what seems the very conspicuous awe with which Mr Pike seems to regard as Commander another thing what our captain West's duties so far he has done nothing save eat three times a day smoke many cigars and each day strolls a total of one mile around the poop the mates do all the work and hard work it is for hours on deck and four below day and night with never A variation I watched Captain West and am amazed he will roll back in the cabin and stare straight before him for hours at a time until am almost frantic to demand of him what are his thoughts sometimes I doubt that he is thinking at all I give him up I cannot fathom him all together a depressing day of rain splatter and wash of water across the deck I can see now that the problem of sailing the ship with five thousand tons of coal Around the Horn is more serious than I had thought so deep is the Elsinore in the water that she is like a log wash her tall six foot bollocks of Steel cannot keep the Seas from boarding her she has not the buoyancy one is accustomed to ascribe to ships on the contrary she has waited down until she is dead so that for this one day alone I am appalled at the thought of how many thousands of tons of the North Atlantic have boarded her and poured out through her spouting scalpers and clanging ports yes a depressing day the two mates have alternated on deck and in their bunks Captain West is dozed on the cabin sofa or read the Bible Miss West is still seasick I have tired myself out with reading and the fuzziness of my unsweeping brain makes for melancholy even water is anything but a cherry in spectacle crawling out of his bunk as he does it stayed at dinner revolts and with sick glassy eyes trying to discern what my needs may be I almost wish I could get seasick myself I had never dreamed that a c Voyage could be so unenlivening as this one is proving end of chapter 11. chapter 12 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore this vibrovox recorded is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 12. another morning of overcast sky and lead and seas and of the Elsinore under half her canvas clanging her deck for it spouting Waters from her scalpers and dashing Eastward Into the Heart of the Atlantic and I have failed to sweep half an hour all told at this rate in a very short time I shall have consumed all the cream of tartar on the ship I never have had hives like these before I can understand it so long as I keep my lamp burning and read I am untroubled the instant I put out the lamp and draws off the irritation starts and the lumps on my skin begin to form Miss West may be seasick but she cannot be comatose because its frequent intervals she sends the steward to me with more cream of tartar I have had a revelation today I have discovered Captain West he is a samurai you remember the samurai that H.G Wells describes in his modern Utopia the superior breed of men who know things and are masters of life and of their fellow men in the super benevolent Super Wise Way well that is what Captain West is let me tell it to you we had a shift of wind today and the height of a Southwest Gale the wind shifted in an instant eight points which is equivalent to a quarter of the circle imagine it imagine a gale howling from out of the Southwest and then imagine the wind in a heavier and more violent Yale abruptly smiting you from the northwest we had been sailing through a circular storm Captain West vowed safe to me before the event and the wind could be expected to box the compass clad and sea boots oil skins and Southwestern I had for some time been hanging upon the rail at the break of the poop staring down fascinated that the poor Devils of sailors repeatedly up to their necks in water or submerged or dashed like straws about the deck well they fold and hauled stupidly blindly and in evident fear under the orders of Mr Pike Mr Pike was with them working them and working with them he took every chance they took yet somehow he escaped being washed off his feet though several times I saw him entirely buried from view there was more than luck in the matter for I saw him twice at the head of a line of men himself next to the pen and twice in this position I saw the North Atlantic curl over the rail and fall upon them and each time he alone remained holding the turn of the Rope on the pin while the rest of them were rolled and sprawled helplessly away almost it seemed to me good fun as at a circus watching their antiques but I did not apprehend the seriousness of the situation until the wind screaming higher than ever and the Sea of smoke and white with wrath two men did not get up from the deck one was carried away forward with a broken leg it was IR Jacobson a dull wedded Scandinavian and the other kid twist was carried away unconscious with a bleeding scalp in the heights of the guests in my high position where the Seas did not break I found myself compelled to cling tightly to the rail to escape being blown away my face was stung to severe pain by the high driving spin draft and I had a feeling that the wind was blowing the cobwebs out of my sleep-starved brain and all the time surrender aristocratic graceful and streaming oil skins and apparent unconcerned giving no orders effortlessly accommodating his body to the violent rowing of the Elsinore Captain West rolled up and down it was at this stage in the Gale that he unbent sufficiently to tell me that we were going through a circular storm and that the wind was boxing the compass I did notice that he kept his gaze pretty steadily fixed on the overcast cloud-driven sky at last when it seemed the wind could not possibly blow more fiercely he found in the sky what he sought it was then that I first heard his voice a c voice clear as a bell distinct to Silver and of an ineffable sweetness and volume as it might be the Trump of Gabriel that voice effortless dominating the mighty thread of the storm made articulate by the resistance of the Elsinore shouted in all the stays bellowed in the shrouds from the tot ropes against the steel masts and from the Myriad tiny ropes far Aloft evoked a devil's chorus of shrill pipings and screechings and yet through this Bedlam of noise came Captain West's voice as of a spirit visit and distinct unrelated mellow as all music and mighty as an archangels called the judgment and it carried understanding and command to the man at the wheel and to Mr Pike waist deep in the wash of sea below us and the man at the wheel obeyed and Mr Pike obeyed barking and snarling orders to the poor wallowing Devils who wallowed on and obeyed him in turn and as the voice was the face this face I had never seen before it was the face of the spirit visitant chaste with wisdom lighted by a splendor of power and calm perhaps it was the calm that smote me most of all it was as the column of one who had crossed chaos to blessed poor seaworn men with the word that all was well it was not the face of the fighter to my thrilled imagination it was the face of one who dwelt beyond all striving said the elements and beauty dissensions of the blood the samurai had arrived in Thunders and Lightnings right in the wings of the storm directing the gigantic Library Nelson or an hour intricate massiveness commanding the Wisps of human to his will which was the will of wisdom and then that wonderful Gabriel voice of his silent while his creatures labored as well unconcerned detached to Casual more slenderly tall and aristocratic than ever and is streaming oil skins Captain West touched my shoulder and pointed to stern over our weather Corridor I looked and all that I could see was a vague smoke of sea and air and a cloud Bank of sky that tore at the ocean's breast and at the same moment the Gale from the southwest deceased there was no Gale no moving Zephyrs nothing but a vast quietude of air what is it I gasped out of equilibrium from the abrupt cessation of wind the shift he said there she comes and it came from the Northwest a blast of wind a blow an atmospheric impact that bewildered and stunned and again made the Elsinore hard protest it forced me down on the rail I was like a window straw as I faced this new abruptness of Gale it drove the air back into my lungs so that I suffocated and turned my head aside to breathe in the Lee of the draft the man at the wheel again listened to the Gabriel voice and Mr Pike on the deck below listened and repeated the will of the voice and Captain West and slender and stately balanced leaned into the face of the wind and slowly placed the deck it was magnificent now and for the first time I knew the Sea and the men who Overlord the sea captain West had Vindicated himself exposited himself at the height and crisis of the storm he had taken charge of the Elsinore and Mr Pike had become what in truth was all he was the foreman of a gang of men the slave driver of slaves serving the one from Beyond the samurai a minute or so along your captain West rolled up and down leaning easily into the face of this new and abominable Gale arresting his back against it and then he went below pausing for a moment his hand on the knob of the chart room door to cast the last measuring look at the storm white sea and wrath somber Sky he had mastered ten minutes later below passing the open cabin door I glanced in and saw him see boots and storm trappings were gone his feet and carpet swepers rested on the hassock while he lay back in the big leather chair smoking dreamily his eyes wide open absorbed nancying or if they saw seeing things Beyond The Reeling cabin walls and beyond my Ken I have developed an immense respect for Captain West though now I know him less than the little I thought I knew him before end of chapter 12. chapter 13 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore this Libra Fox recording is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 13. Small Wonder that Miss West remained seasick on an ocean like this which has become a factory where the varying Gales manufacture the selectus and most mountainous brands of cross Seas the way the poor Elsinore pitches plunges rolls and shivers with all her lofty spiers and masts and all her five thousand tons of deadweight cargo is astonishing to me she is the most erratic thing imaginable yet Mr Pike with whom I now paste the poop on occasion tells me that coal is a good cargo and that the Elsinore is well loaded because he saw to it himself he will pause abruptly in the midst of his interminable pacing in order to watch her in her maddest Antics the site is very pleasant to him for his eyes glistened and the faint glow seems to irradiate his face and impart to it a hint of ecstasy the Elsinore has a snug place in his heart I am confident he calls her behavior admirable and at such times will repeat to me that it was he who sought to her loading it is very curious the habituation of this man through a long life on the sea to the motion of the sea there is a rhythm to this chaos of Crossing buffeting waves I sense the Rhythm although I cannot solve it but Mr Pike knows it again and again as we paste up and down this afternoon when to me nothing unusually antique seemed impending he would seize my arm as I lost balance then as the Elsinore smashed down on her side and healed over and over with the Colossal roll that seemed never to end and it always ended with an Abrupt snap of the whip effect as she began the corresponding role to Windward in vain I strove to learn how Mr Pike forecasts these Antiques and I am driven to believe that he does not consciously forecast them at all he feels them he knows them they and the Sea are ingrained in him toward the end of our little Promenade I was guilty of impatiently shaking off a sudden seizure of my arm in his big paw if ever in an hour the Elsinore had been less gymnastic than at that moment I had not noticed it so I shook off the sustaining clutch and the next moment the Elsinore had smashed down and buried a couple of hundred feet of her starboard rail Beneath the Sea while I had shot down the deck and smashed myself breathless against the wall of the Chart House my ribs and one shoulder are sore from it yet now how did he know and he never staggers nor seems in danger of being rolled away on the contrary such a surplus of surety of balance has he that time and again he lent his Surplus to me I began to have more respect not for the sea but for the men of the sea and not for the sweepings of semen that are as slaves on our decks but for the real seamen who are their masters for Captain West for Mr Pike yes and for Mr melaire dislike him as I do as early as three in the afternoon the wind still a gale went back to the Southwest Mr Miller had the deck and he went below and reported the change to Captain West will Ware ship had form Mr Panthers the second mate told me when he came back you will find it an interesting maneuver but why wait till four I asked the Captain's Order sir the watches will be changing and we'll have the use of both of them without working a hardship on the watch below by calling it out now and when both watches were on Deck Captain West again in oil skins came out of the Chart House Mr Pike out on the bridge took charge of the many men who on deck and on the poop were to manage the mizzen braces while Mr melaire went forward with his watch to handle the four and Main braces it was a pretty maneuver a play of leverages by which they eased the force of the Wind on the after part of the Elsinore and used the force of the Wind on the forward part Captain West gave no orders whatever and to all intents was quite oblivious of what was being done he was again the favored passenger taking a stroll for his Health's sake and yet I knew that both his officers were uncomfortably aware of his presence and were keyed to their finest seamanship I know now Captain West's position on board he is the brains of the Elsinore he is the master strategist there is more in directing the ship on the Ocean than in standing watches and ordering men to pull and haul their pawns and the two officers are pieces with which Captain West plays the game against sea and wind and season and ocean current he is the knower they are his tongue by which he makes his knowledge articulate a bad night equally bad for the Elsinore and for me she is receiving the sharp buffeting at the hands of the wintry North Atlantic I fell asleep early exhausted from lack of sleep and awoken in our frantic with my lumped and burning skin more cream of tartar more reading more vain attempts to sleep until shortly before five when Stewart brought me my coffee I wrapped myself in my dressing gown and like it being distracted prowled into the cabin I dozed into the weather chair and was thrown out by a violent role of the ship I tried the sofa sinking to sleep immediately and immediately thereafter finding myself precipitated to the floor I am convinced that when Captain West naps on the sofa he is only half asleep how else can he maintain so precarious a position unless in him too the sea and its motion be ingrained I wandered into the dining room watched myself into a screwed chair and fell asleep my head in my arms my arms on the table and at quarter past seven the steward roused Me by shaking my shoulders it was time to set table heavy with the brief heaviness of sleep I had had I dressed and stumbled up onto the poop in the hope that the wind would clear my brain Mr Pike had the watch and with sure age-lagging step he paced the deck the man is a Marvel 69 years old a life of hardship and as sturdy as a lion yet of the past night alone his hours had been four to six in the afternoon on deck 8-12 on deck and four to eight in the morning on deck in a few minutes he would be relieved but at midday he would again be on deck I leaned on the poof Rail and stared forward along the dreary waste of deck every port in Scupper was working to ease the weight of North Atlantic that perpetually fell on board between the rush and the Cascades streaks of rust showed everywhere some sort of a wooden pin rail had carried away on the starboard rail at the foot of the missing shrouds and an amazing raffle of ropes and tackles washed about here Nancy and half a dozen men work sporadically and in fear of their lives to clear the tangle the long-suffering bleakness was very pronounced on Nancy's face and when the walls of water in impending downfall reared above the elsinore's rail he was always the first to leap for the lifeline which had been stretched four and aft across the wide space of deck the rest of the men were scarcely left backward and dropping their work and springing to safety if safety it might be called to grip a rope in both hands and have legs sweep out from under and be wrenched full length upon the boiling surface of an ice-cold flood Small Wonder they looked wretched bad as their condition was when they came aboard at Baltimore they look far worse now what if the last several days of wet and freezing hardship from time to time completing this forward Pace along the poop Mr Pike would pause or he retraced his steps and snort sardonic Glee at what happened to the poor Devils below the man's heart is callus a thing of iron he has endured and he has no patience nor sympathy with these creatures who lack his own excessive iron I noticed the stone deaf man the Twisted oaf whose face I have described as being that of an ill-treated and feeble-minded Fong his bright liquid pain-filled eyes were more filled with pain than ever his face still more leaned and drawn with suffering and yet his face showed in excess of nervousness sensitiveness and a pathetic eagerness to please and do I could not help observing that despite his Dreadful sense handicapped and his wrecked frail body he did the most work was always the last of the group to Spring to the lifeline and always the first to loose the lifeline and Swatch knee-deep or Waist Deep through the churning water to attack the immense and the pressing tangle of rope and Tackle I remarked Mr Pike that the men seemed thinner and weaker than when they came on board and he delayed replying for a moment while he stared down at them without cattle buyer's eye of his sure they are he said disgustedly a weak breed that's what they are nothing to build on no stamina the least thing drags them down why in my day we grew fat on work like that only we didn't we worked so hard there wasn't any chance for fat we kept in fighting trim that was all but as for this gum and slum say you remember Mr pathurst that man I spoke to the first day who said his name was Charles Davis the one you thought there was something the matter with yes and there was too he's in that midship room with the Greek now he'll never do a tap of work the whole Voyage he's a hospital case if there ever was one talk about shot to Pieces he's got holes in him I could shove my fist through I don't know whether they're Perforating ulcers or cancers or Cannon shot wounds or whatnot and he had the nerve to tell me they showed up after he came on board and he had them all the time I asked all the time take my word Mr pathos they're years old but he's a wonder I watched him those first days send him Aloft had him down in the Four Hole trimming a few tons of coal did everything to him and he never showed a wince being up to the neck and salt water finally fetched him and now he's reported off duty for the voyage and they'll draw his wages for the whole time have all night in and never do a tap oh here's a hot one to have passed over on us and the Elsinore is another man short another I exclaimed is the Greek going to die no fear I'll have him stirring in a few days I refer to the Misfits if we rolled the dozen of them together they wouldn't make one real man I'm not saying that to alarm you for there's nothing alarming about it but we're going to have proper hell this Voyage he broke off to stare reflectively at his broken knuckles as if estimating how much Drive was left in them then signed and concluded well I can see I've got my work cut out for me sympathizing with Mr Pike is futile the Illinois effect is to make his mood blacker I tried it and he retaliated with you ought to see the book with the curvature of the spine and Mr malair's watch he is a proper hobo too and a land lover and don't weigh more than a hundred pounds and must be 50 years old and he's got curvature of the spine and he's an able Seaman if you please on the Elsinore and worse than all that he puts it over on you he's nasty he's mean he's a Viper a wasp he ain't afraid of anything because he knows you dastened hid him for fear of croaking him oh he's a pearl of purist Ray Serene if anyone should slide down a backstay and ask you if you fail to identify him any other way his name is mulligan Jacobs after breakfast again on deck in Mr malware's watch I discovered another efficient he was at the wheel a small well-knit muscular man of say 45 with black hair Grain on the temples a big eagle face sworthy with Keen intelligent black eyes Mr Miller Vindicated by judgment by telling me the man was the best sailor in his watch a proper Seaman when he referred to the man as the Maltese Cockney and I asked why he replied first because he is Maltese Mr pathurst and next because he talks Cockney like a native and depend upon it he heard bow Bells before he lisped his first word and has O'Sullivan bought Andy phase sea boots yet I queried it was at this moment that Miss West emerged upon the poop she was as rosy and vital as ever and certainly if she had been seasick she flew no signals of it as she came toward me greeting me I could not help remarking again though why then springy limb movement with which she walked in her fine firm skin her neck free in the Sailor collar with white sweater open at the throat seemed almost redoubitably strong to my Sleepless jaunda dies her hair under a white knitted cap was smooth and well groomed in fact the totality of impression she conveyed was of a well-groomedness one would not expect of a Sea Captain's daughter much less of a woman who had been seasick life that is the key of her the essential note of her life and health I'll wager she has never entertained The Morbid thoughts and that practical balanced sensible head of hers and how have you been she asked then rattled on with sheer exuberance era could answer had a lovely night's sleep I was really over my sickness yesterday but I just devoted myself to resting up I swept 10 solid hours what do you think of that I wish I could say the same I replied with appropriate dejection as I swung in beside her for she had events or intention of prominating oh then you've been sick on the contrary I answered dryly and I wish I had been I haven't had five hours sleep all told since I came on board these paciferous hives I held up a lumpy wrist to show she took one glance at it holded it abruptly and neatly balancing herself to the role took my wrist in both her hands and gave it close scrutiny Mercy she cried and then began to laugh I was of two minds her laughter was delightful to the ear there was such a mellowness and healthiness and frankness about it on the other hand that it should be directed at my Misfortune was exasperating I suppose my perplexity showed in my face for when she had eased her laughter and looked at me with a sober incontinence she immediately went off into more peels you poor child she gurgled at last and when I think of all the cream of tartar I made you consume there was rather presumptuous of her to poor child me and I resolved to take advantage of the data I already possessed in order to ascertain just how many years she was my junior she had told me she was 12 years old the time the Dixie collided with the river steamer in San Francisco Bay very well all I had to do was to ascertain the date of that disaster and I had her but in the meantime she laughed at me in my hives I suppose it is or humorous in some sort of way I said a bit stiffly only to find there was no use in being stiff with Miss West for it only set her off in tomorrow after what you needed she announced with fresh garglings was an exterior treatment don't tell me I've got the chickenpox or the measles I protested no she shook her head emphatically while she enjoyed another peroxism what you are suffering from is a severe attack she paused deliberately and looked me straight in the eyes of bed bugs she concluded and then all seriousness and practical ability she went on but we'll have that write it into Jiffy I'll turn the elsinore's after quarters upside down though I know there were none and Father's room or mine and though this is my first voyage with Mr Pike I know he's too hard bitten here I laughed at her involuntary pun an old sailor not to know that his room is clean yours I was perturbed for fear she was going to say I had brought them on board have most probably drifted in from Ford they always have them forward and now Mr pathurst I am going to attend to your case you'd better get your water to make up a camping kit for you the next couple of nights you'll spend in the cabin or chart room and be sure water removes all silver and metallic tarnishable stuff from your rooms there's going to be all sorts of fumigating and tearing out of Woodwork and rebuilding trust me I know the Verma end of chapter 13. chapter 14 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore this vibravox recording is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 14. such a cleaning up and turning over for two nights one in the chart room and one on the cabin sofa I have soaked myself in sleep and I am now almost stupid with excess of sleep the land seems very far away by some strange Quirk I have an impression that weeks or months have passed since I left Baltimore on that bitter March morning and yet it was March 28th and this is only the first week in April I was entirely right in my first estimation of Miss West she is the most capable practically masterful woman I have ever encountered what passed between her and Mr Pike I do not know but whatever it was she was convinced that he was not the Aryan one in some strange way my two rooms are the only ones which have been invaded by this plague of vermin under Miss West's instructions bunks drawers shelves and all superficial woodwork have been ripped out she worked the carpenter from daylight till dark and then after a night of fumigation two of the sailors with turpentine and white lead but the finishing touches on the cleansing operations the carpenter is now busy rebuilding my rooms then we'll come the painting and in two or three more days I expect to be settled back in my quarters of the men who did the turpentine and white wedding there have been four two of them were quickly rejected by Miss West as not being up to the work the first one Steve Roberts which he told me was his name is an interesting fellow I talked with him quite a bit air Miss West sent him packing and told Mr Pike that she wanted a real sailor this is the first time Steve Roberts has ever seen the sea how he happened to drift from the Western Cattle ranges to New York he did not explain any more than did he explain how he came to ship on the Elsinore but there he is not a sailor on Horseback but a cowboy on the sea he is a small man but most powerfully built his shoulders are very Broad and his muscles bulge under his shirt and yet he is Slender wasted lean limbed and Hollow Chi this last however is not due to sickness or ill health Tyro as he is on the sea Steve Roberts is Keen and intelligent yes and crooked he has a way of looking straight at one with utmost frankness while he talks and yet it is at such moments I get most strongly the impression of crookedness but he is a man if trouble should arise to be reckoned with in ways He suggests the king ship with the three men Mr Pike took so instant a prejudice against kid twist nosy Murphy and Bert Ryan and I have already noticed in the dog watches that it is with this Trio that Steve Roberts jumps the second sailor Miss West rejected after silently watching him work for five minutes was Mulligan Jacobs the Wisp of a man with curvature of the spine but before she sent him packing other things occurred in which I was concerned I was in the room when Mulligan Jacobs first came in to go to work and I could not help observing the startled Avid glance he threw at my big shelves of books he Advanced on them in the way a rubber might advance on a secret horde of gold and as a miser would fondle gold so Mulligan Jacobs fondled these book titles with his eyes and such eyes all the bitterness and them and Mr Pike had told me the man possessed was there in his eyes they were small pale blue and gimlin pointed with fire his eyelids were inflamed and but served in sanguine the bitter and cold blazing intensity of the pupils the man was constitutionally a hater and I was not long in learning that he ate at all things except books would you care to read some of them I said hospitably all the caress in his eyes for the books vanished as he turned his head to look at me and there he spoke I knew that I too was hated it's hell ain't it you with a strong body and servants to carry for you a weight of books like this and me with a curved spine that puts the pot hooks of Hellfire into my brain how can I possibly convey the terrible venomousness with which he uttered these words I know that Mr Pike dragging his feet down the hall past my Open Door gave me a very gratifying sense of safety being alone in the room with this man seemed much the same as if I were locked in a cage with a tiger cat the demolitionists the wickedness and above all the pitch of glaring hatred with which the man eyed me and addressed me were most unpleasant I swear I knew fear not calculated caution not timid apprehension but blind panic unreasoned Terror the malignancy of the creature was blood curdling nor did it require words to convey it it poured out from him out of his red rimmed blazing eyes out of his weathered Twisted tortured face out of his broken nailed crooked Talons of hands and yet in that very moment of instinctive star low and repulsion the thought was in my mind that with one hand I could take the throw to the reason wisp of a crippled thing and throttled the malformed life out of it but there was little encouragement and such thought no more than a man might feel in a cave of rattlesnakes or a pit of centipedes for crush them with his very bulk nevertheless they would first sink their poison into him and so with this Mulligan Jacobs my fear of him was the fear of being infected with his Venom I could not help it for I caught a quick vision of the black and broken teeth I had seen in his mouth sinking into my flesh polluting me eating me with their acid destroying me one thing was very clear and the creature was no fear absolutely he did not know fear he was as devoid of it as this vetted slime one Treads underfoot and Nightmares Lord Lord that is what the thing was a nightmare you suffer pain often I asked attempting to get myself in Hand by the calculated use of sympathy the hooks are in me in the brain white hot hooks that burned and burned was his reply but by what damnable right do you have all these books and time to read them an all-night end to read them and soak in them when me brain's on fire and I'm watching watch and Me Broken Spine won't let me carry half a hundred weight of books about with me another madman was my conclusion and yet I was quickly compelled to modify it for thinking to play with a rattle brain I asked him what were the books up to half a hundred weight he carried and what were the writers he preferred his Library he told me among other things included first and foremost a complete Byron next was a complete Shakespeare also a complete Browning and one volume a full half dozen he had in the Folk Soul of renon a stray volume of Lucky Wynwood Reeds martyrdom of man several of Carlisle and eight or ten of Zola Zola he swore by though Anatoly French was a prime favorite he might be mad was my revised judgment but he was most differently mad for many Mad Men I had ever encountered I talked on with him about books and bookmen he was most universal and particular he liked O'Henry George Moore was a cad and a four flasher Edgar saltis anatomy of negation was profounder than Kant major link was a Mystic Frump Emerson was a charlatan ibsen's ghosts was the stuff though Ibsen was a Bourgeois lick Spindler Hein was the real Goods he preferred flambert to Dad my passant and turgeon F to Tolstoy but Yorkie was the best of the Russian boiling John maysfield knew what he was writing about and Joseph Conrad was moving too fat to turn out the stuff he first turned out and so it went the most amazing running commentary on literature I had ever heard I was here Joy interested and I quizzed him on sociology yes he was a red and knew his kropotkin but he was no Anarchist on the other hand political action was a blind Ally leading to reformism and quietism political socialism had gone the pot while industrial unionism was The Logical culmination of Marxism he was a direct actionist the mass strike was the thing sabotaged not merely as the withdrawal of efficiency but as a keen destruction of prophets policy was the weapon of course he believed in the propaganda of the deed but a man was a fool to talk about it his job was to do it and keep his mouth shut and the way to do it was to shoot the evidence of course he talked but what of it didn't he have curvature of the spine he didn't care when he got his and woe to the man who tried to give it to him and while he talked he hated me he seemed to hate the things he talked about and espoused I judged him to be of Irish descent and it was patented that he was self-educated when I asked him how it was he had come to see he replied that the hooks in his brain were as hot one place as another he unbent enough to tell me that he had been an athlete when he was a young man a professional foot racer in Eastern Canada and then his disease had come upon him and for a quarter of a century he had been a common tram and Vagabond and he bragged of a personal acquaintance with more City prisons and county jails than any men that ever existed it was at this stage in our talk that Mr Pike thrust his head into the doorway he did not address me but he Favored Me with the most sour look of disapprobation Mr Pike's countenance is almost petrified any expression seems to crack it with the exception of sourness but when Mr Pike wants took sour he has no difficulty at all his hard-skinned hard muscled face just flows to sourness evidently he condemned my consuming Mulligan Jacob's time to Mulligan Jacobs he said that his customary scenaro go on and get to your work chew the rag in your watch below and then I got a sample of Morgan Jacobs the women of hatred I had already seen in his face was as nothing compared with what now was manifested I had a feeling that like stroking the cat in cold weather did I touch his face it would crackle with electric Sparks ah go to hell you old stiff said Mulligan Jacobs If Ever I had seen murder in a man's eyes I saw it then in the mates he lunged into the room his arm tends to strike the hand not opened but clenched one stroke of that Bear's paw and Mulligan Jacobs and all the poisonous flame of him would have been quenched in the Everlasting Darkness but he was unafraid like a cornered rat like a rattlesnake on the trail unflinching sneering snarling he faced The Irate giant more than that he even thrust his face forward on its twisted neck to meet the blow it was too much for Mr Pike it was too impossible to strike that frail crippled repulsive thing it's me that can call you the Steph said Mulligan Jacobs I ain't no Larry go on and hit me why don't you hit me and Mr Pike was too appalled to strike the creature he whose whole career on the sea had been that of a bucko driver in the shambles could not strike this fractured Splinter of a man I swear that Mr Pike actually struggled with himself to strike I saw it but he could not go on to your work he ordered the voyage is Young yet Mulligan I'll have you eaten out of my hand before it's over and Mulligan Jacob's face thrust another inch closer on its twisted neck while all his concentrated rage seemed on the verge of bursting into incandescence so immense and tremendous was the bitterness that consumed him that he could find no words to clothe it all he could do was to Hawk and gutter all deep in his throat until I should not have been surprised had he spat poison in the maid's face and Mr Pike turned on his heel and left the room beaten absolutely beaten I can't get it out of my mind the picture of the mate and the facing each other keeps leaping up under my eyelids this is different from the books and from what I know of existence it is revelation life is a profoundly amazing thing what is This Bitter flame that informs Mulligan Jacobs how dare he with no hope of any Prophet not a hero not a leader of a forewarned hope nor a martyr to God but a mere filthy malignant rat how dare he I ask myself be so defiant so death inviting the spectacle of him makes me doubt all the schools or the metaphysicians and the realists no philosophy has a leg to stand on that does not account for mulligan Jacobs and all the Midnight Oil of philosophy I have burned does not enable me to account for moeg and Jacobs unless he be insane and then I don't know was there ever such afraid of human Souls on the sea as these humans with whom I am herded on the Elsinore and now working in my rooms white leading and turpentine is another one of them I have learned his name it is Arthur Deacon he is the powered fertified man whom I observed the first day when the men were routed out of the Folk Soul to man The Windlass the man I so instantly adjudged a drug fiend he certainly looks it I asked Mr Pike his estimate of the man white slaver was his answer had to skin out of New York to save his skin he'll be consortoned with those other three Americans I gave a piece of my mind to and what do you make of them I asked A month's wages to a pound of tobacco that a district attorney or a committee of some sort investigating the New York police is looking for him right now I'd like to have the cash somebody put up in New York to send them on this getaway oh I know the breed gangsters I queried that's what but I'll trim their dirty hides I'll trim them Mr pathur's this Voyage ain't started yet and this all stiffs a long way from his last legs I'll give them a run for their money why I've buried better men than the best of them aboard this craft and I'll bury some of them to think me an old stiff he paused and looked at me solemnly for a full half minute Mr Panthers I've heard you're a writing man and when they told me at the agents you were going along passenger I made a point of going to see your play now I'm not saying anything about that play one way or the other but I just want to tell you that as a writing man you'll get stuff and plenty to write about on this voyage hell's going to pop believe me and right here before you is the stiff that'll do a lot of the popping some several and plenty is going to learn who's an old Steph end of chapter 14. chapter 15 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore this library of ox recording is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 15. how I have been sleeping this relief of renewed normality is delicious thanks to miss West now why did not Captain West or Mr Pike both experienced men diagnosed my trouble for me and then there was water but no it required Miss West again I contemplate the problem of woman it is just such an incident among a million others that keeps the thinkers gaze fixed on women they are truly the mothers and the conservators of the race realize I will at Miss West's red blood complacency of life yet I must bow my head to her life-giving to me practical sensible hard-headed a Comfort maker and a nest Builder possessing all the distressing attributes of the blind instinctive race mother nevertheless I must confess I am most grateful that she is along had she not been on the Elston North by this time I should have been so overrod from lack of sleep that I would be biting my veins and Howling as mad I had her as any of our cargo of Mad Hatters and so we come to it the Everlasting mystery of woman one may not be able to get along with her yet it is patent as of old time that one cannot get along without her but regarding Miss West I do entertain one fervent hope namely that she is not a suffrage yet that would be too much Captain West may be a samurai but he is also human he was really a bit fluttery this morning and is reserved controlled way when he regretted the plague of vermin I had encountered in my rooms it seems he has a keen sense of hospitality and that he is my host on the Elsinore and that although he is oblivious of the existence of the crew he is not oblivious of my comfort by his few expressions of regret it appears that he cannot forgive himself for as careless acceptance of the erroneous diagnosis of my Affliction yes Captain West is a real human man is he not the father of this wonderfaced strapping bodied Miss West thank goodness that settled was Miss West's exclamation this morning when we met on the poop and after I had told her how gloriously I had slept and then that nightmare episode dismissed because forsooth for all practical purposes it was settled she next said come on and see the chickens and I accompanied her along the spidery bridge to the top of the midship house to look at the one rooster and the four dozen fat hens and the ship's Chicken Coop as I accompanied her my eyes dwelling pleasurably on that vital gate of hers as she preceded me I could not help reflecting that coming down on the tug from Baltimore she had promised not to bother me nor require to be entertained come and see the chickens oh the sheer female possessiveness of that simple invitation for a frontier of possessiveness is there anything that can exceed The Nest making Planet populating female human woman come and see the chickens oh well the sailors forward may be hard bitten but I can promise Miss West that here aft is one male passenger unmarried and never married who is an equally hard-bitten Adventurer on the sea of matrimony when I go over the census I remember at least several women Superior to miss West who trilled their song of sex and failed the Shipwrecked me as I read over what I have written I noticed how the terminology of the sea has stolen into my mental processes and voluntarily I think in terms of the sea another thing I notice is my excessive use of superlatives but then everything on board the Elsinore is superlative I find myself continually combing my vocabulary in quest of just inadequate words yet I am aware of failure for example all the words of all the dictionaries would fail to approximate the exceeding terribleness of Malik and Jacobs but to return to the chickens despite every precaution it was evident that they had had a hard time during the past days of storm it was equally evident that Miss West even during her seasickness had not neglected them under her directions the steward had actually installed a small oil stove in the big Coop and she now beckoned him up to the top of the house as he was passing forward to the galley it was for the purpose of instructing him further in the matter of feeding them where were the Grits they needed grits he didn't know the sack had been lost among the miscellaneous doors but Mr Pike had promised a couple of sailors that afternoon to overhaul the lazarette plenty of Ashes she told the steward remember and if a sailor doesn't clean the coop every day you report to me and give them only clean food no spoiled scraps bind how many eggs yesterday 's glistened with enthusiasm as he said he had got nine the day before and expected fully a dozen today the four things said Miss West to me you've no idea how bad weather reduces their land she turned back upon the steward mind thou you watch and find out which hens don't lay and kill them first and you ask me each time before you kill one I found myself neglected out there on top the drafty house while miss West took chickens with the Chinese ex-mugler but it gave me opportunity to observe her it is the length of her eyes that accentuates their steadiness of gaze helped of course by the dark brows and lashes I noted again the warm gray of her eyes and I began to identify her to locate her she is the physical type of the best of the Womanhood of old New England nothing spare nor meager nor bred out but generously strong and yet not quite what one would call robust when I said she was strapping body I aired I must fall back on my other word which will have to be the last Miss West is vital bodied that is the key word when we had regained the poop and Miss West had gone below I ventured my customary pleasantry with Mr Miller of an Hazel Sullivan bought Andy phase sea boots yet not yet Mr pathurst was the reply though he nearly got them early this morning come on along sir and I'll show you about safety no further information the second mate led the way along the bridge across the midship house in the forward house from the front of the ladder looking down on number one hatch I saw two Japanese with sail needles entwine sewing up a canvas swath bundle that unmistakably contained the human body I was Sullivan used a razor said Mr Miller and that is Andy Fay I cried no sir not Andy that's a Dutchman Christian jesperson was his name on The Articles he got in O'Sullivan's way when O'Sullivan went after the boots that's what saved Andy Andy was more active jesperson couldn't get out of his own way much less out of O'Sullivan's there's Andy sitting over there I followed Mr Miller's gaze and saw the burned out aged little Scotsman squatted on the spare spire and sucking the pipe one arm was in a sling and his head was bandaged beside him squatted Mulligan Jacobs they were a pair both were blue-eyed and both were malevolent eyed and they were equally emaciated it was easy to see that they had discovered early in the voyage their kinship of bitterness Andy Faye I knew was 63 years old although he looked a hundred and Mullick and Jacobs who was only about 50 made up for the difference by the furnace heat of hatred that burned in his face and eyes I wondered if he sat beside the injured bitter one in some sense of sympathy or if he were there in order to gloat around the corner of the house strolled shorty flinging up to me is inevitable clown grin one hand was swathered in bandages most must have kept Mr Pike busy with my comment to Mr Mel air he was sewing up cripples about all his watch from four to eight what I asked are there any more one more sir a genie I didn't know his name before but Mr Pike got it Isaac B Chan's I never saw an all my life at Sea as many sheenies as are on board the Elsinore right now sheenies don't take to the Sea as a rule we've certainly got more than our share of them chance isn't badly hurt but you ought to hear him whimper where's O'Sullivan I inquired in the midship house with Davis and without a mark Mr Pike got into the rumpus and put him to sweep with one on the jaw and now he's rushed down and talking in a trance he's thrown the fear of God into Davis Davis is sitting up in his bunk with a Marlin Spike threatening to bring no Sullivan if he starts to break loose and complaining that it's no way to run a hospital he'd have padded cells Straight Jackets night and day nurses and violent Wards I suppose in a convalescence home in a Queen Anne Cottage on the poop oh dear oh dear Mr Miller's side this is the funniest voyage and the funniest crew I've ever tackled it's not going to come to a good end anybody can see that with half an eye it'll be dead of winter off the horn and the folks so full of lunatics and cripples to do the work just take a look at that one crazy as a bed bug he's likely to go overboard anytime I followed this glance and saw Tony the Greek the one who had sprung overboard the first day he had just come around the corner of the house and Beyond one arm and a sling seemed in good condition he walked easily and with strength a testimonial to the virtues of Mr Pike's rough surgery my eyes kept returning to the canvas covered body of Christian Jasperson and to the Japanese who sewed with sail twine and sailor shroud one of them had his right hand and a huge wrapping of cotton and bandage did did he get hurt too I asked no sir he's the sail maker they're both sail makers he's a good one too yet suda is his name but he's just had blood poisoning and laying in the hospital in New York for 18 months he flatly refused to let them amputate he's all right now but the hand is dead I'll accept the thumb and forefinger and he's teaching himself to sew with his left hand he's as clever a sail maker as you'll find at sea a lunatic and a razor make a cruel combination I remarked it's put five men out of commission Mr Miller's side there's O'Sullivan himself and Christian jesperson gone and Andy Fay and shorty and the and the voyage not started yet and there's wires with the broken leg and Davis laid off for Keeps why sir we'll soon be that weak it'll take both watches to set a stay Sail nevertheless while I talked in a matter of fact way with Mr malware I was shocked no not because death was aboard with us I have stood by My Philosophy guns too long to be shocked by death or by murder What affected me was the utter stupid bestiality of the affair even murder murder for cause I can understand it is comprehensible that men should kill one another in the passion of Love of hatred of patriotism of religion but this was different here was killing without cause an orgy of blind britishness ethane monstrously irrational later on struggling with possum on the main deck as I passed the open door of the hospital I heard the muttering chant of O'Sullivan and peeped in there he lay washed fast on his back in the lower bunk rolling his eyes and raving and the top bunk'd Direct actually above Lake Charles Davis commonly smoking a pipe I looked for the Marlin Spike there it was ready to hand on the bedding beside him it's hell ain't it sir it was his greeting and how am I going to get any sleep with that baboon chattering away there he never lets up keeps his chin music going right along when he's asleep only worse the way he grips his teeth is something awful now I leave it to you sir is it right to put it crazy like that in with a sick man and I am a sick man while he talked the messy form of Mr Pike loomed beside me and hauled it just out of sight of the man in the bunk and the man talked on by rights I ought to have that lower bunk it hurts me to crawl up here it's inhumanity that's what it is and sailors at Sea are better protected by the law than they used to be and I'll have you for a witness to this before the court when we get to Seattle Mr Pike stepped into the doorway shut up you damn sea liar you he's gnarled haven't you played the dirty trick enough coming on board the ship in your condition and if I have anything more out of you Mr Pike was so angry he could not complete the threat after sputtering for a moment he made a fresh attempt you you well you annoy me that's what you do I know the law sir Davis answered promptly I worked full able Seaman on this here ship all hands can testify to that I was Aloft from the start yes sir and up to my neck in salt water day and night and you had me below trim and coal I did full Duty and more until this sickness got me you're petrified and rotten before you ever saw this ship Mr Pike broke in the corrid will decide that sir replied the unperturbable Davis and if you go shouting off you seal all your mouth Mr Pike continued I'll jerk you out of that and show you what real work is and the way the owners open for lovely damages when we get in Davis sneered not if I bury you before we get in was the mates quick Grim retort and let me tell you Davis you ain't the first C lawyer I've dropped over the side with a sack of coal to his feet Mr Pike turned with the final damn sea liar and started along the deck I was walking behind him when he stopped abruptly Mr pathurst not as an officer to a passenger did he thus address me his tone was imperative and I gave heed Mr pathurst from now on the west UC aboard this ship the better that is all and again he turned on his heel and went his way end of chapter 15. chapter 16 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore the cybervox recording is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 16. no the sea is not a gentle place it must be the very hardness of the life that makes all sea people hard of course Captain West is unaware that his crew exists and Mr Pike and Mr malware never addressed the men saved to give commands but miss West who is more like myself a passenger ignores the men she does not even say good morning to the man at the wheel when she first comes on Deck nevertheless I shall at least to the man at the wheel am I not a passenger which reminds me technically I am not a passenger the Elsinore has no license to carry passengers and I am down on the Articles as third mate and I'm supposed to receive 35 dollars a month wada is down his Cabin Boy although I paid a good price for his passage and he is my servant not much time has lost at sea and getting rid of the Dead within an hour after I had watched the sail makers at work Christian jesperson was thread overboard feet first a sack of coal to his feet to sink him it was a mild calm day and the Elsinore logging a lazy two knots was not hoved too for the occasion at the last moment Captain West came forward Fair book in hand read the brief service for Burial at Sea and returned immediately aft it was the first time I had seen him Ford I shall not bother to describe the burial all I shall say of it is that it was assorted as Christian jesperson's Life had been and as his death had been as for Miss West she sat in the deck chair on the Pooh busily engaged with some sort of fancy work when Christian jesperson and his goal splashed into the sea the crew immediately dispersed the watch below go into its bunks The Watch On Deck to its work not a minute elapsed there Mr Miller was giving orders and the men were pulling and Hauling so I returned to the poop to be unpleasantly impressed by Miss West's smiling unconcerned well he's buried I observed oh she said with all the tonelessness of disinterest and went on with her stitching she must have sensed my frame of mind for after a moment she paused from her sewing and looked at me your first C funeral Mr pathurst death at Sea does not seem to affect you I said bluntly not any more than on the land she Shrugged her shoulders so many people die you know and when they are strangers to you well what do you do on the land when you learn that some workers have been killed in a factory you pass every day coming to town it is the same on the sea it is too bad we are a hand short I said deliberately it did not miss her just as deliberately she replied yes isn't it and so early in the voyage too she looked at me and when I could not forbear a smile of appreciation she smiled back oh I know very well Mr pathurst that you thank me a heartless wrench but it isn't that it's it's the sea I suppose and yet I didn't know this man I don't remember ever having seen him at this stage of the voyage I doubt if I could pick out half a dozen of the sailors as men I had ever laid eyes on so if I've asked myself with even thinking of this stupid stranger who was killed by another stupid stranger as well one might die of grief with reading the murder Columns of the daily papers and yet it seems somehow different I contended oh you'll get used to it she assured me cheerfully and returned to her sowing I asked her if she had read Moody's ship of souls but she had not I searched her out further she liked Browning and was especially fond of the ring in the book this was the key to her she cared only for healthful literature for the literature that exposes the vital eyes of life for instance the mention of schopenhauer produced smiles and laughter to her all the philosophers of pessimism were laughable the red blood of her would not permit her to take them seriously I tried her out with the conversation I had had with deseres shortly before leaving New York DE casares after tracing Jules de gaultier's philosophic genealogy back to schofenhauer anichi had concluded with the proposition that out of their two formulas they Gautier had constructed an even profounder formula the will to live of the one and the will to power of the other were after all only parts of the gautier's Supreme generalization the will to illusion I flatter myself that even deserves would have been pleased with the way I repeated his argument and when I had concluded it Miss West promptly demanded if the realists might not be fooled by their own phrases as often and as completely as were the poor common Mortals with the vital lies they never questioned and there we were an ordinary young woman who had never vexed their brains with ultimate problems here's such things stated for the first time and immediately and with the laugh sweeps them all away I doubt not that day casares would have agreed with her do you believe in God I asked rather abruptly she dropped her sewing into her lap look at me meditatively then gazed on and Away across the place you can see and up into the Azure Dome of sky and finally with true feminine evasion she replied my father does but you I insisted I really don't know I don't bother my head about such things I used to when I was a little girl and yet yes surely I believe in God at times when I am not thinking about it at all I am very sure and my faith at all is well is just as strong as the faith that your Jewish friends and the phrases of the philosophers that's all it comes to I suppose in every case Faith but as I say why bother ah I have you now miss West I cried you are a true daughter of herodiaz it doesn't sound nice she said with the pout and it isn't I exalted nevertheless it is what you are it is Arthur Simon's poem the daughters of herodias someday I shall read it to you and you will answer I know that you will answer that you too have looked often upon the Stars we had just got upon the subject of music of which she possesses is surprisingly solid knowledge and she was telling me that Debussy and his school held no particular charm for her when possum set up a wild yelping the puppy is straightforward along the bridge to the midship house and had evidently been investigating the chickens when This Disaster Came Upon him so shrill was his Terror that we both stood up he was dashing along the bridge toward us at full speed yelping at every jump and continually turning his head back in the direction once he came I spoke to him and held out my hand and was rewarded with a snap and Clash of teeth as he scuttled past still with head turned back he went on along the poop before I could apprehend his danger Mr Pike and Miss West were after him the mate was the mirror and with a magnificent leap gained the rail just in time to intercept possum who is blindly going overboard under this Wonder railing with a sort of scooping kick Mr Pike sent the animal rolling half across the poop howling and snapping more violently possum regained his feet and staggered on toward the opposite railing don't touch him Mr Pike cried as Miss West showed her intention of catching the crazed little animal with her hands don't touch him he's got a fit but it did not deter her he was halfway under the railing when she cut him up and held him at arm's length while he howled and barked and slavered it's a fit said Mr Pike is the terrier collapsed and lay on the deck jerking convulsively perhaps a chicken packed him said Miss West at any rate to get a bucket of water better let me take him I volunteered helplessly for I was unfamiliar with Fitz no it's all right she answered I'll take charge of him the cold water is what he needs he got too close to the coop and a peck on the nose frightened him in through the fit first time I ever heard of a fit coming that way Mr Pike remarked as he poured water over the puppy under Miss West's Direction it's just a plain puppy fit they all get them at sea I think it was the sails that caused it I argued I've noticed that he is very afraid of them when they fly up he crouches down in Terror and starts to run you noticed how he ran with his head turned back I've seen dogs with fits do that when there was nothing to frighten them Mr Pike contended it was a fit no matter what caused it Miss West stated conclusively which means that he has not been fed properly from now on I shall feed him you tell your boy that Mr pathurist Nobody is to feed possum anything without my permission at this juncture wada arrived with possum soil sleeping box and they prepared to take him below it was Splendid of you miss West I said andresh as well and I won't attempt to thank you but I tell you what you take him he's your dog now she laughed and shook her head as I opened the Chart House door for her to pass no but I'll take care of him for you now don't bother to come below this is my Affair and you would only be in the way wada will help me and I was rather surprised as I returned to my deck chair and sat down to find how affected I was by the willow episode I remembered at the first that my pulse had been distinctively accelerated with the excitement of what had taken place and somehow as I leaned back in my chair and lighted a cigarette the strangeness of the whole Voyage vividly came to me Miss West and I talk philosophy and art on the proof of a stately ship in a circle of flashing sea while Captain West dreams of his far home and Mr Pike and Mr malware stand watch and watch and snarl orders and the slaves of men pull and Hall and possum has feds and Andy Faye and Mulligan Jacobs burned with hatred unconsumable and the small-handed half-cast Chinese cooks for all and Sundry buyers perpetually presses his abdomen and O'Sullivan raves in the steel cell of the medship house and Charles Davis lies about him nursing tomorrow and Spike and Christian jesperson miles of stern his deep sunk in the sea with a sack of coal at his feet end of chapter 16. chapter 17 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore this Library Fox recorded is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 17. two weeks out today on a balmy Sea Under a cloudflex sky and slipping an easy eight knots through the water to a light easterly wind Captain West said he was almost convinced that it was the Northeast trade also I have learned that the Elsinore in order to avoid being jammed down on Cape San Roque on the Brazil Coast must first fight Eastward almost to the coast of Africa on occasion on this Traverse the Cape Verde Islands are raised no wonder the voyage from Baltimore to Seattle is reckoned at 18 000 miles I found Tony the suicidal Greek staring this morning when I came on Deck he seemed sensible enough and quite rationally took off his hat when I said good morning to him the sick men are improving nicely with the exceptions of Charles Davis and O'Sullivan the letter still was lashed to his bunk and Mr Pike has compelled Davis to attend on him as a result Davis moves about the deck bringing food and water from the galley and grumbling his rungs to every member of the crew wada told me a strange thing this morning it seems that he the steward and the two sail makers for Gather each evening in the cooks room all be in asiatics where they talk over ships gossip they seem to miss little and what it brings it all to me the thin water told me was the Curious conduct of Mr malaire they have sat in judgment on him and they do not approve of his intimacy with the three gangsters forward but wada I said he is not that kind of a man he is very hard and rough with all the sailors he treats them like dogs you know that sure I sent it what um other Sailors who do that but those three very bad men he make good friends Lewis say second mate belong after like first mate and Captain no good for second made talk like friends with Sailors no good for Ship by and by trouble you see Lewis say Mr Miller crazy do that kind funny business all of which if it were true and I saw no reason to doubt it led me to inquire it seems that the gangsters could twist nosy Murphy and Bert Ryan have made themselves of the Folk Soul standing together they have established a reign of terror and are ruling the Folk Soul all their training in New York in ruling the slum roots and weaklings and their gangs fits them for the part as near as I could make out from what is tail they first began on the Two Italians in their watch Guido bombini and Mike Cipriani by means I cannot guess they have reduced these two wretches to Trembling slaves as an instance the other night according to the ship's gossip Bert Ryan made bombini get out of bed and fetch him a drink of water Isaac Johns is likewise under their rule though he is treated more kindly Hermann lunkenheimer a good-natured but simple-mindedult of a German received severe beating from the three because he refused to wash some of nosy Murphy's Dirty garments the two bosons are in fear of their lives with his click which is growing for Steve Roberts the ex-cowboy and the white slaver Arthur Deacon have been admitted to it I am the only one aft who possesses this information and I confess I don't know what to do with it I know Mr Pike would tell me to buying my own business Mr melaire is out of the question and Captain West hasn't any crew and I fear Miss West would laugh it be for my pains besides I understand that every Folk Soul has its bully or group of boys so this is merely a folksal matter and no concern of the afterguard the ship's work goes on the only effect I can conjecture is an increase in the woes of the unfortunates who must bow to this Petty tyranny forward oh and another thing what it told me the gangster click has established this privilege of taking first cut of the salt beef and the meat kids after that the rest take the rejected pieces but I will say contrary to my expectations he also knows folkso as well found the men are not on whack they have all they want to eat a barrel of good hard tax stands always open in the Folk Soul Lewis bakes fresh bread for the sailors three times a week the variety of food is excellent if not the quality there is no restriction in the amount of water for drinking purposes and I can only say that in this good weather the men's appearance improves daily possum is very sick each day he grows thinner scarcely can I call him a perambulating skeleton because he is too weak to walk each day in this delightful weather water under Miss West's instructions brings him up in his box and places him out of the Wind on the on end poop she has taken full charge of the puppy and has him sleep in her room each night I found her yesterday in the chart room reading up the elsinore's medical Library later on she overhauled The Medicine Chest she is essentially the life-giving life-conserving female of the species all her ways for herself and for others make toward life and yet and this is so curious it gives me pause she shows no interest in the sick and injured forward they are to her cattle are less than cattle as the life-giver and race conserver I should have imagined her a lady Bond the foam dripping regularly into that ghastly steel-walled hospital room on the midship house and dispensing gruel sunshine and even tracks on the contrary as with her father these wretched humans do not exist and still again when the steward jammed a splinter under his nail she was greatly concerned and manipulated the tweezers and pulled it out the Elsinore reminds me of a slave plantation before the war and Miss West is the Lady of the plantation interested only in the house slaves the field slaves are Beyond her kin or consideration and the sailors are the elsinore's field slaves why several days back when water suffered from a severe headache she was quite perturbed and dosed him with Aspirin well I suppose this is all due to her sea training she has been trained hard we have the phonograph in the second dog watch every other evening in this fine weather on the alternate evenings this period is Mr Pike's watch on Deck but when it is his evening below even at dinner he betrays his Anticipation by an eagerness ill-suppressed and yet on each such occasion he punctiliously waits until we ask if we are to be favored with music then is hard bitten face lights up although the lines remain hard as ever hiding his ecstasy and he remarks roughly offhandedly that he guesses he can play over a few records and so every other evening we watch this killer and driver with lacerated Knuckles and gorilla Paws brushing and caressing his beloved discs ravished with the music of them and as he told me early in the voyage at such moments believing in God a strange experience is this life on the Elsinore I confess while it seems that I have been here for long months so familiar am I with every detail of the little round of living that I cannot Orient myself my mind continually Strays from things not understandable to things incomprehensible from our Samurai Captain with the Exquisite Gabriel voice that is heard only in the tumult and thunder of storm onto the ill-treated and feeble-minded fawn with the bright liquid pain-filled eyes to the three gangsters who Rule The Folk Soul and seduced the second mate to the perpetually muttering O'Sullivan in the steel walled hole and the complaining Davis nursing the Marlin spike in the upper bunk and the Christian Jasperson somewhere adrift in this vastitude of ocean with a coal sack at his feet at such times all the life on the Elsinore where becomes as unreal as life to the philosopher is unreal I am a philosopher therefore it is unreal to me but is it unreal to bashir's Pike in malware to the lunatics and idiots to the rest of the stupid herdford I cannot help remembering the remark of deca series it was over the wine and more coins said he the profoundest Instinct in man is to war against the truth that is against the real he shuns facts from his infancy his wife is a Perpetual evasion Miracle Chimera and tomorrow keep him alive he lives on fiction and myth it is the lie that makes him free animals alone are given the privilege of lifting the veil of his is men dare not the animal awake has no fictional escape from the real because he has no imagination man awake is compelled to seek a Perpetual Escape into hope belief Fable art God socialism immortality alcohol love from Medusa truth he makes an appeal to Maya Lai Ben will agree that I have quoted him fairly and so the thought comes to me that to all these slaves of the Elsinore the real is real because they fictionally escape it one and all they are obsessed with the belief that they are free agents to me the real is unreal because I have torn aside the veils of fiction and myth my pristine fictional Escape From The Realm making me a philosopher has bound me absolutely to the will of the real I the super realist I'm the only unrealist on board the Elsinore therefore I who penetrated deepest in the whole phenomena of living on the Allison arm see it only as phantasmagoria paradoxes I admit it all deep thinkers are drowned in the sea of contradictions but all the others on the Elsinore share surface swimmers keep afloat on this sea forsooth because they have never dreamed its depth and I can easily imagine what Miss West's practical hard-headed judgment would be on the speculations of mine after all words are traps I don't know what I know nor what I think I think this I do know I cannot Orient myself I am the maddest and most sea lost soul on board take Miss West I am beginning to admire her why I know not unless it be because she is so abominably healthy and yet it is this very health of her the absence of any shred of degenerative genius that prevents her from being great for instance in her music a number of times now I have come in during the day to listen to her plane the piano is good and her teaching has evidently been of the best to my astonishment I learned that she is a graduate of Bryn Mawr and that her father took a degree from old Bodo and long ago and yet she lacks at her music her touch is masterful she has the firmness and weight without sharpness or pounding of a man's plane the strength and surety that most women lack and that some women know they lack when she makes a slip she is ruthless with herself and replays until the difficulty is overcome and she is quick to overcome it yes and there is a sort of temperament in her work but there is no sentiment no fire when she plays Chopin she interprets as suriness and neatness she is the master of Chopin's technique but she never walks where Chopin walks on the heights somehow she stopped short of the fullness of music I did like her method with Brahms and she was not unwelling at my suggestion to go over and over the three rhapsodies on the third Intermezzo she was at her best and a good best it was you were talking of Dubose she remarked I've got some of his stuff here but I don't get into it I don't understand it and there is no use in trying it doesn't seem all together like real music to me it fails to get hold of me just as I fail to get hold of it yet you like McDowell I challenged yes she admitted grudgingly his New England itis and Fireside tales and I like that finishmin stuff sibelius too although it seems to me too soft too richly soft too beautiful if you know what I mean it seems to cloy what a Pity I thought that with that Noble masculine Touch of hers she is unaware of the deeps of Music someday I shall try to get from her just what Beethoven say and Chopin mean to her she has not read Shaw's perfect Wagner right nor had she ever heard of Nietzsche's case of Wagner she likes Mozart and old bocharini and Leonardo Leo likewise she is partial to Schumann especially Forest scenes and she plays as Papillon's most brilliantly when I closed my eyes I could have sworn it was a man's fingers on the keys and yet I must say it in the long run her playing makes me nervous I am continually led up to false expectations always she seems just on the verge of achieving the big thing the super big thing and always she just misses it by a shade just as I am prepared for the culminating flesh and illumination I receive more Perfection of technique she is cold she must be cold or else and the theory is worth considering she is too healthy I shall certainly read to her the daughters of herodias end of chapter 17. chapter 18 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore this Barbara Vox recording is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 18. was there ever such a voyage this morning when I came on Deck I found nobody at the wheel it was a startling sight the great Elsinore by the wind under an Alpine Range of canvas every sail set from Sky sails to try sales and spanker slipping across the surface of a mild trade wind sea and no hand at the wheel to guide her no one was on the poop it was Mr Pike's watch and I strolled forward along the bridge to find him he was on number one hatch giving some instructions to the sail makers I awaited my chance until he glanced up and greeted me good morning I answered and what man is at the wheel now that crazy Greek Tony he replied A month's wages to a pound of tobacco he isn't I offered Mr pie collected me with quick sharpness who is it the wheel nobody I replied and then he exploited into action the age leg left his massive frame and he bounded aft along the deck of the speed no meant on board could have exceeded and I doubt if very many could have equaled it he went up the poop ladder three steps at a time and disappeared in the direction of the wheel behind the Chart House next came a promptitude of bellowed orders and all the watch was slacking away after braces to starboard and pulling on after braces to Port I had already learned the maneuver Mr Pike was wearing chip as I returned aft along the bridge Mr Bel Air and the carpenter emerged from the cabin door they had been interrupted at breakfast for they were wiping their mouths Mr Pike came to the break of the poop called down instructions to the second mate who proceeded forward and ordered the carpenter to take the wheel as the Elsinore swung around on her heel Mr Pike put her on the back track so as to cover the water she had just crossed over he lowered the glasses through which he was scanning the sea and pointed down the hatchway that opened into the big after room beneath the ladder was gone must have taken the lazarette ladder with him said Mr Pike Captain West rolled out of the chart room he said good morning and his customary way courteously to me and formally to the mates and strolled on along the poop to the wheel where he paused to glance into the Pinnacle turning he went unleisurely to the break of the poop again he came back to us fully two minutes must have elapsed Aries spoke what is the matter Mr Pike Man Overboard yes sir was the answer and took the lazarette letter along with him Captain West queried yes sir it's the Greek that jumped over at Baltimore evidently the affair was not serious enough for Captain West to be the samurai he lied to the cigar and resumed his stroll and yet he had missed nothing not even the absence of the latter Mr Pike sent look out so off to every skysell yard and the Elsinore slipped along through the smooth sea Miss West came up and Stood Beside Me searching the ocean with her eyes while I told her the little I knew she evidenced no excitement and reassured me by telling me how difficult it was to lose a man of Tony's suicidal type their Madness always seems to come upon them in fine weather or under safe circumstances she smiled when a boat can be lowered or a tug is alongside and sometimes they take life preservers with them as in this case at the end of an hour Mr Pike wore the Elsinore around and again retraced the course she must have been sailing when the Greek went over Captain West still strolled and smoked and Miss West made a brief trip below to give water forgotten instructions about possum Andy pay was called to the wheel and the carpenter went below to finish his breakfast it all seemed rather callous to me nobody was much concerned for the man who was overboard somewhere on that lonely ocean and yet I had to admit that everything possible was being done to find him I talked a little with Mr Pike and he seemed more vexed than anything else he disliked to have the ships worked interrupted in such fashion Mr Miller's attitude was different we are short-handed enough as it is he told me when he joined us on the poop we can't afford to lose him even if he is crazy we need him he's a good sailor most of the time the hell came from the missing Sky sail yard The Maltese Cockney it was who first cited the man and called down the information the mate looking to winwards suddenly lowered his glasses rubbed his eyes in a puzzled way and looked again then miss West using another pair of glasses cried out in Surprise and began to laugh what do you make of it Miss West the maid asked he doesn't seem to be in the water he's standing up Mr Pike nodded he's on the ladder he said had forgotten that it fooled me at first I couldn't understand it he turned to the second Mage Mr Miller will you launch the Long Boat and get some kind of crew into it while I backed the main yard I'll go in the boat pick men that can pull an oar you go too Miss West said to me it will be an opportunity to get outside the Elsinore and see her under Full Sail Mr Pike nodded consent so I went along sitting near him in the stern sheets where he steered while half a dozen hands rode us toward the suicide who stood so weirdly upon the surface of the Sea The Maltese Cockney pulled the stroke orb and among the other five men was one whose name I had recently learned ditman owenson a Norwegian a good Seaman Mr mellair had told me and whose watch he was a good semen but crank-eyed when pressed for an explanation Mr mellair had said that he was the sort of man who flew into blind rages and that one never could tell what little thing would produce such a rage as near as I could grasp it ditman owenson was a Berserker type yet as I watched him pulling in good time at the Oar his large pale blue eyes seemed almost bovine the last men in the world in my judgment to have a Berserker fit as we grew close to the Greek he began to scream menacingly atus and to brownish a sheath knife his weight sunk the ladder until the water washed his knees and on this submerged support he balanced himself with wild writhing and outflinging of arms his face grimacing like a monkeys was not a pretty thing to look upon and as he continued to threaten this with the knife I wondered how the problem of rescuing him would be solved but I should have trusted Mr Pike for that he removed the boat stretcher from under the Maltese cockney's feet and laid it close to hand in the stern sheets then he had the men reverse the boat and back it upon the Greek dodging the sweep of the knife Mr Pike awaited his chance until a passing wave lifted the boat Stern High while Tony was sinking toward the trough this was the moment again I was favored with a sample of the lightning speed with which that age demand of 69 could handle his body time to precisely and delivered in a Flash and with weight the boat stretcher came down on the Greek's head then I fell into the sea and the demented creature collapsed and followed it knocked unconscious Mr Pike scooped him out quite effortlessly it seemed to me and flung him into the boat's bottom at my feet the next moment the men were bending to their oars and the mate was steering back to the Elsinore it was a stout wrap Mr Pike had administered with a boat stretcher thin streaks of blood oozed on The Damp plastered hair from the broken scalp I could but stare at the lump of unconscious flesh that dripped sea water at my feet a man all life and movement one moment defying the universe reduced the next moment to immobility and the Blackness and blankness of death is always a fascinating object for the contemplative eye of the philosopher and in this case it had been accomplished so simply by means of a stick of wood brought sharply in contact with his skull if Tony the Greek could be accounted an appearance what was he now a disappearance and if so whether had he disappeared and whence would he Journey back to occupy that body when what we call Consciousness returned to him the first word much less the last of the phenomena of personality and Consciousness yet remains to be uttered by the psychologists founder and thus I chanced I left my eyes in the Glorious spectacle of the Elsinore burst upon me I had been so long on board and inboard of her that I had forgotten she was a white painted ship so low to the water was her hole so delicate and slender that the tall Sky reaching spiers and masts and the hugeness of the spread of canvas seemed Preposterous and impossible and insolent derision of the law of gravitation it required effort to realize that that swim curve of Hull enclosed and bore up from the Seas bottom five thousand tons of coal and again it seemed a miracle that the mites of men had conceived and constructed so stately and magnificent and element-defined fabric mites of men most woefully like to Greek at my feet prone to precipitation into the darkness by means of a wrap on the head with a piece of wood Tony made a struggling noise in his throat then coughed and groaned from somewhere he was reappearing I noticed Mr Pike look at him quickly as if apprehending some recrudescence of frenzy that would require more boat stretcher but Tony merely fluttered his big black eyes open and stared at me for a long minute of incurious Amaze there he closed them again what are you going to do with him I asked the mate put him back to work was the reply it's always good for and he ain't hurt somebody's got to work this ship Around the Horn when we hoisted the boat on board I found Miss West at John below and the chart room Captain West was winding the chronometers Mr malaire had turned in to catch an hour or two of sweep air his watch on deck at noon Mr melaire by the way as I have forgotten to state does not sweep aft he shares a room in the midship house with Mr Pike's Nancy no one showed Sympathy for the unfortunate Greek he was bundled out upon number two hatchback so much carrion and left there unattended to recover Consciousness as he might elect yes and so inert have I become that I make free to admit I felt no sympathy for him myself my eyes were still filled with the beauty of the Elsinore one does grow hard at sea end of chapter 18. chapter 19 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore the saliva Vox recording is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 19. one does not mind the trades we have held the Northeast trade for days now and the miles roll off behind us as the patent log whirls and Tinkles on the TAF rail yesterday log and observation approximated a run of 252 miles the day before we ran 240 and the day before that 261 but one does not appreciate the force of the wind so balmy and exhilarating is it that it is like so much atmospheric wine I Delight to open my lungs and my pores to it nor does it chill at any hour of the night while the cabin lies asleep I break off from my reading and go up on the poop in the thinnest of tropical pajamas I never knew before what the trade wind was and now I am infatuated with it I stroll up and down for an hour at a time with whichever mate has the watch Mr Miller is always full garmented but Mr Pike on these delicious nights stands his first watch after midnight in his pajamas he is a fearfully muscular man 69 years seem impossible when I see his single slimsy garments pressed by flushings against his form and bulged by heavy boned and huge muscle a splendid figure of a man what he must have been in the Heyday of Youth two score years and more ago passes comprehension these days so filled with simple routine passes in the dream here where time is rigidly measured and emphasized by the changing of the watches where every hour and half hour is persistently brought to ones notice by the Striking of the ship's Bells four and aft time ceases days merge into days and weeks slip into weeks and I for one can never remember the day of the week or month the Elsinore is never totally asleep day and night always there are men on watch the lookout on the folks who had demanded the wheel and the officer of the deck I lie reading in my bunk which is on the weather side and continually over my head during the long night hours impact the footsteps of one mate or the other pacing up and down and as I well know the man himself is forever appearing forward from the break of the poop or glancing into the Pinnacle or feeling engaging the weight and direction of wind on his cheek or watching the cloud stuff in the sky a drift and a Scott they crossed the stars in the moon always always there are wakeful eyes on the Elsinore last night or this morning rather about two o'clock as I lay with the printed page swimming drowsily before me I was aroused by an Abrupt outbreak of snarl from Mr Pike I located him as at the break of the poop and the man at whom he snarled was wary evidently on the main deck beneath him not until water brought me breakfast that I learned what had occurred Larry with his funny pug nose is curiously flat and twisted face and his quero as plenty of chimpanzee eyes had been moved by some unlucky whim to venture an insolent remark under the cover of Darkness on the main deck but Mr Pike from above at the break of the poop had picked the offender unerringly this was when the explosion occurred then the unfortunate Larry truly half-devil and all child had whacked someone and retorted still more insolently and the next he knew the mate descending upon him like a hurricane had handcuffed him to the missing five rail imagine on Mr Pike's part that this was one for Larry and at least 10 for kid twist nosy Murphy and Bert Ryan I'll not be so absurd as to say that the maid is afraid of those gangsters I doubt if he has ever experienced fear it is not in him on the other hand I am confident that he apprehends trouble from these men and that it was for their benefit he made this example of Larry Larry could stand no more than an hour in irons at which time his stupid britishness overcame any fear he may have possessed because he bellowed out to the poop to come down and lose him for a fair fight promptly Mr Pike was there with the key to the handcuffs as if Larry had a shred of a chance against that redoubtable aged man wada reported the oary amongst other things had lost a couple of front teeth and was laid up in his bunk for the day when I met Mr Pike on the deck after eight o'clock I glanced at his knuckles they verified what is Dale I cannot help being amused by the Keen interest I take in little events like the foregoing not only his time ceased but the world has ceased strange it is when I come to think of it in all these weeks I have received no letter no telephone call no telegram no visitor I have not been to the play I have not read a newspaper so far as I am concerned there are no plays nor newspapers all such things have vanished with a vanished world all that exists is the Elsinore with her queer human freightage and her cargo of coal cleaving the rotund devotion of which the skyline is a dozen miles away I am reminded of Captain Scott Frozen on his South Pole Adventure who for 10 months after his death was believed by the world to be alive not until the world learned of his death was he anything but alive to the World by the same token was he not alive and by the same token here on the Elsinore has not the land World ceased may not the pupil of one eyes be not merely the center of the world but the world itself truly it is tenable that the world exists only in Consciousness The World Is My Idea said schopenhauer said Jules de Cartier the world is my invention his Dogma was that imagination created the real ah me I know that the Practical Miss West would dub my metaphysics to depressing and unhealthy exercise of my wets today on our deck chairs on the poop I read the daughters of herodias to miss West it was superb in its effect just what I had expected of her she hem stitched a fine white linen handkerchief for her father while I read she is never idle being so essentially an EST maker and comfort producer and race conserver and she has a whole pile of these handkerchiefs for her father she smiled how shall I say oh incredulously triumphantly oh with all the sure wisdom of all the generations of women in her warm long gray eyes while I read but they smile innocently and dance on having no thought but this unsombering thought am I not beautiful shall I not be loved be patient for they will not understand nor till the end of time will they put by the weaving of slow steps about men's hearts but it is well for the world that it is so was her comment ah Simmons knew women his perfect knowledge she attested when I read that Magnificent Passage they do not understand that in the world there grows between the sunlight and the grass anything saved themselves desirable it seems to them that the Swift Eyes of men are made but to be mirrors not to see far-off disastrous unattainable things for are not we they say the end of all why should you look Beyond this if you look into the night you will find nothing there we also have gazed often at the stars it is true said Miss West in the pause I permitted in order to see how she had received the thought we also have gazed often at the stars it was the very thing I had predicted to her face that she would say but wait I cried let me read on and I read we we alone among all beautiful things we only are real for the rest are dreams why will you follow after wandering dreams when we await you and you can but dream of us and in our image fashion them true most true she murmured while all unconsciously pride and power mounted in her eyes a wonderful poem she conceded they proclaimed when I had done but do you not see I begin impulsively then abandon the attempt for how could she see being woman the far-off disastrous unattainable things when she as she so stately appeared had gazed often on the Stars she what could she see save what all women see that they only are real and that all the rest are dreams I am proud to be a daughter of herodius said Miss West well I admitted Langley we agree you remember it as what I told you you were I am grateful for the compliment she said and in those long gray eyes of hers were limed and colored all the satisfaction and self-certitude and answering complacency of power that constitutes so large a part of the seductive mystery and Mastery that is possessed by woman end of chapter 19.

Heavens how I read in this fine weather I take so little exercise that my sleep need is very small and there are so few interruptions such as life teams with on the land that I read myself almost stupid recommend me you see Voyage anytime for a man who is behind in his reading I am making up years of it it is an orgy a debauch and I am sure the adult Sailors the judge me the queerest creature on board at times so fuzzy do I get from so much reading that I am glad for any diversion when we strike the doldrums which lie between the Northeast and the southeast trades I shall have water assemble my little 22 automatic rifle and try to learn how to shoot I used to shoot when I was a wee lad I can remember dragging a shotgun around with me over the hills also I possessed an air rifle with which on great occasion I was even able to slaughter a robin while the proof is quite large for prominating the available space for deck chairs is limited to the awnings that stretch across from either side of the Chart House and that are of the width of the Chart House this space again is restricted to one side or the other according to the slant of the morning and afternoon sun and the freshness of the breeze wherefore Miss West's chair and mine are most frequently side by side Captain West has a chair which he infrequently occupies he has so little to do in the working of the ship taking his regular observations and working them up with such Celerity that he is rarely in the chart room for any length of time eox to spend his hours in the main cabin not reading not doing anything save dream with eyes wide open in the draft of wind that pours through the open ports and doors from out the huge Crow Jack and the stay sails Miss West is never idle Below in the big after room she does her own laundry nor will she let the steward touch her father's fine linen in the main cabin she has installed the sewing machine all hand stitching and embroidering and fancy work she does in the deck chair beside me she Affairs that she loves the Sea and the atmosphere of sea life yet verily she has brought her home things and land things along with her even to her pretty China for afternoon tea most essentially is she the woman and Homemaker she is a barn cook with the Stewart and Lewis prepare dishes extraordinary and Deluxe for the cabin table yet miss West is able at a moment's notice to improve on these dishes she never lets any of their dishes come on the table without first planting them or passing on them she has quick judgment and unerring taste and is possessed in the needful steal of decision it seems she has only to look at the dish no matter who has cooked it and immediately Divine its lack or its Surplus age and prescribe a treatment that transforms it into something indescribably different and delicious my how I do eat I am quite dumbfounded by the unfailing veracity of my appetite already I am quite convinced that I am glad Miss West is making the voyage she has sailed out east as she quaintly calls it and has an enormous repertoire of tasty spicy Eastern dishes in the cooking of rice Lewis is a master but in the making of the accompanying Curry he Fades into a blundering amateur compared with Miss West in the matter of Curry she is a sheer Genius how often one's thoughts dwell upon food when at sea so in this trade wind weather I see a great deal of Miss West I read all the time and quite a good part of the time I read aloud to her passages and even books with which I am interested in trying her out then too such breeding gives rise to discussions and she has not yet uttered anything that would lead me to change my first Judgment of her she is a genuine daughter of herodius and yet she is not what one would call a cute girl she isn't a girl she is a mature woman with all the freshness of a girl she has the carriage the attitude of mind the plum of a woman and yet she cannot be described as being in the slightest degree stately she is generous Dependable sensible yes and sensitive and are super abundant Vitality the Vitality that makes her walk so gloriously discounts the maturity of her sometimes she seems all of 30 to me other times when her spirits and Rise abilities are aroused she scarcely seems 13 I shall make a point of asking Captain West the date of the Dixie's collision with that River steamer in San Francisco Bay in a word she is the most normal the most healthy natural woman I have ever known yes and she is feminine despite no matter how she does her hair that it is as inevitably smooth and well groomed as all the rest of her on the other hand this Perpetual well-groomedness is relieved by the latitude of dress she allows herself she never fails of being a woman her sex and The Lure of it is ever present possibly she may possess High collars but I have never seen her in one on board her blouses are always open at the throat disclosing one of her choicest assets the muscular adequate neck with its fine textured garment chair of skin I embarrass myself by stealing long glances at that bare throat of hers and at the hint of fine firm surface shoulder visiting the chickens is developed into a regular function at least once each day we make the journey forward along the bridge to the top of the midship house possum who has now convalescent accompanies us the steward makes a point of being there so as to receive instructions and Report the egg output and laying conduct of the many hands at the present time our four dozen hens are laying two dozen eggs a day with which record Miss West is greatly elated already she has given names to most of them the is Peter of course a much speckled hen is Dolly Varden a slim trimmed in the dog's Peter's heels she calls Cleopatra another hen the mellowist voiced one of all she addresses his burn heart one thing I have noticed whenever she and the steward have passed death sentence on an online hand which occurs regularly once a week she takes no part in the eating of the meat not even when it is metamorphosed into one of her delectable Curries at such time she has a special curry made for herself of ten Lobster or shrimp or tinned chicken uh I must not forget I have learned that it was no man interest in me if you please that brought about her sudden interest to come on the voyage it was for her father that she came something is the matter with Captain West at rare moments I have observed her gazing at him with the world of solicitude and anxiety in her eyes I was telling an amusing story a table yesterday midday when my Glenn's chance to rest upon Miss West she was not listening her food on her fork was suspended in the air a sheer instant as she looked at her father with all her eyes it was a stare of fear she realized that I was observing and with superb control slowly quite naturally she lowered the fork and rusted it on her plate retaining her hold on it and retaining her father's face and her luck but I had seen yes I had seen more than that I had seen Captain West's face a transparent white while his eyelids fluttered down and his whips moved noiselessly then the eyelids raised and the lips set again with their habitual discipline and the color slowly returned to his face it was as if he had been away for a time and just returned but I had seen in yester secrets and yet it was the same Captain last seven hours later who chastised the proud sailor Spirit of Mr Pike he was in the second dog watch that evening a dark night and the watch was pulling away on the main deck I had just come out of the Chart House door and seen Captain West paced by me hands in Pocket toward the break of the poop abruptly from The mesen Mask came a snap of breakage and crash of fabric at the same instant the men fell backward and sprawled over the deck a moment of silence followed and then Captain West's voice went out but carried away Mr Pike the halyard served came the reply out of the darkness there was a pause again Captain West's voice went out next time slack away on your sheet first now Mr Pike is incontestably his funded semen yet in this instance he had been wrong I have come to know him and I can well imagine the hurt to his pride and more he has a wicked resentful primitive nature and though he answered respectfully enough yes sir I felt safe in predicting to myself that the poor Devils under him would receive the weight of his resentment and the later watches of the night they evidently did before this morning I noted the black guy and John hackey a San Francisco hoodlum and Guido bombini was carrying the freshly and outrageously swollen jaw I asked wada about the matter and he soon brought me the news quite a bit of beating up takes place forward of the deck houses in the night watches while we of the aftergard peacefully slumber even today Mr Pike is going around Solon and morose snarling at the men more than usual and barely polite to miss West and me when we chanced to address him his replies are grunted in monosyllables and his face is set in superlative sourness Miss West who is unaware of the occurrence laughs and call it a sea Grouch a phenomenon with which she acclaims large experience but I know Mr Pike now the stubborn wonderful old Sea Dog it will be three days before he is himself again he takes a terrible pride in the seamanship and what hurts him most is the knowledge that he was guilty of the blunder end of chapter 20. chapter 21 that the Mutiny of the Elsinore this Library Fox recording is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 21. today 28 days out in the early morning while I was drinking my coffee still carrying the Northeast trade we crossed the line and Charles Davis signalized the event by murdering O'Sullivan it was bony the lanky Splinter of a youth in Mr melaire's watch who brought the news the second mate and I had just arrived in the hospital room when Mr Pike entered O'Sullivan's troubles were over the men in the upper bunk had completed the mad sad span of his life with the Marlin Spike I cannot understand this Charles Davis he sat up calmly in his bunk and calmly lighted his pipe air he replied to Mr malaire he certainly is not insane yet deliberately In Cold Blood he is murdered a helpless man what'd you do it for Mr Miller demanded because sir said Charles Davis applying the second match to his pipe because puff puff he bothered my sleep here he got Mr Pike's glowery and I because puff puff he annoyed me the next time puff puff I hope better judgment will be shown in what kind of man is put in with me besides puff puff this top bunk ain't no place for me it hurts me to get into it puff puff and I'm going back to that lower bunk as soon as you get O'Sullivan out of it but what'd you do it for Mr Pike snarled I told you sir because he annoyed me I got tired of it and so this morning I just put him out of his misery and what are you going to do about it the Man's dead ain't he and I killed him in self-defense I know the law what right do you have to put a raven lunatic in with me and me sick and helpless by God Davis the mate burst forth you'll never draw your payday in Seattle I'll fix you out for this killing the crazy lice down in his bunk and harmless you'll follow him oversight my hearty if I do you'll hang for it sir Davis retorted he turned his cool eyes on me and I call on you sir to witness the threats he's made and you'll testify to them too in court and he'll hang as sure as I go over the side oh I know his record he's afraid to face a court with it he's been up too many a time with charges of man killing and brutality on the high seas and a man could retire for life and live off the interest of the fines he's paid or his owners paid for him shut your mouth or I'll knock it out of your face Mr Pike roared springing toward him with clinched up raised fist Davis involuntarily shrank away his flesh was weak but not so his Spirit he got himself promptly in hand and struck another match you can't get my goat sir he sneered under the shadow of the impending blow I ain't scared to die a man's got to die once anyway and it's done so hard to trick to do when you can't help it O'Sullivan died so easy it was amazing besides I ain't gone to die I'm going to finish this voyage and Sue the owners when I get to Seattle I know my rights and the law and I've got witnesses truly I was divided between admiration for the courage of this wretched sailor and sympathy for Mr Pike thus bearded by a sick man he could not bring himself to strike nevertheless he sprang upon the man with calculated Fury gripped him between the base of the neck and the shoulders with both gnarled Paws and shook him back and forth violently and frightfully for a full minute it was a wonder the man's neck was not dislocated I call on you to witness sir Davis gasped at me the instant he was free he coughed and strangled felt his throat and made wry neck movements indicative of injury the marks will begin to show in a few minutes he murmured complacently as his dizziness left him and his breath came back this was too much for Mr Pike who turned and left the room growling and cursing incoherently deep in his throat when I made my departure a moment later Davis was refilling his pipe and telling Mr Miller that he'd have him up for a witness in Seattle so we have had another Burial at Sea Mr Pike was vexed by it because the Elsinore according to Sea tradition was going too fast through the water for a proper ceremony thus a few minutes of the voyage were lost by back in the elsinore's top Mainsail and deadening her way while the service was read and O'Sullivan was sled overboard with the inevitable sack of coal at his feet hope the coal holds Out Mr Pike grumbled marosley at me five minutes later and we sit on the poop Miss West and I tended on by servants sipping afternoon tea sewing fancy work discussing philosophy and art while a few feet away from us on this tiny floating world all the grimy sordid tragedy of sordid malformed brutish life plays itself out and Captain West remote untroubled sits dreaming in the Twilight cabin while the draft of wind from the krojack blows upon him through the open ports he has no doubts no worries he believes in God all is settled and clear and well as he nears his far home his Serenity is vast and enviable but I cannot shake from my eyes that vision of him when life forsook his veins and his mouth slacked and his eyelids closed while his face took on the white transparency of death I wonder who will be the next to finish the game and depart with the sack of coal oh this is nothing sir Mr malware remarked me cheerfully as we strolled the poop during the first watch I was once on a voyage on a steam reloaded with 400 chinks I beg you pardon sir Chinese they were Cooley's contract laborers coming back from serving their time and the color broke out we Hove over 300 of them overboard sir along with both bosomes most of the Alaska crew and the captain the mate the third mate and the first and third Engineers the second and one white Oiler was all that was left below and I was in command on Deck when we made Port the doctors wouldn't come aboard they made me anchor in the outer roads and told me to heave out my dead there was some tall bearing and about that time Mr Panthers and they went overboard without canvas coal or iron they had to I had nobody to help me in the chinks below wouldn't lift a hand I had to go down myself drag the bodies onto the swings then climb on deck and heave them up with the Donkey and each trip I took a drink I was pretty drunk when the job was done and you never got it yourself I queried Mr malware held up his left hand I had often noted that the index finger was missing that's all that happened to me sir the old man that had a fox terrier like yours and after the old man passed out puppy got real chummy with me just as I was making the Hoist of the last sling load what does the puppy do but jump on my leg and sniff my hand I turned to Pat him and the next I knew my other hand had slipped into the gears and that finger wasn't there anymore Heavens I cried what abominable luck to come through such a terrible experience like that and then lose your finger that's what I thought Sir Mr Miller agreed what did you do I asked oh just held it up and looked at it and said my goodness gracious and took another drink and you didn't get the cholera afterwards no sir I reckon I was so full of alcohol the germs dropped dead before they could get to me he considered a moment candidly Mr Panthers I don't know about that alcohol Theory The Old Man and the mates died drunk and so did the third engineer but the chief was the tea told lawyer and he died too never again shall I wonder that the sea is hard I walked apart from the second mate and stared up at the Magnificent fabric of the Elsinore sweeping and swaying great blotting curves of Darkness across the face of the Starry Sky end of chapter 21. chapter 22 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore this vibraphox recording is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 22. something has happened but nobody knows either for or aft except the interested persons and they will not say anything yet the ship is abuzz with rumors and guesses this I do know Mr Pike has received a fearful blow on the head a table yesterday at midday I arrived late and passing behind his chair I saw a prodigious lump on top of his head when I was seated facing him I noted that his eyes seemed dazed yes and I could see pain in them he took them apart of the conversation ate perfunctorally behaved stupidly at times and it was patented that he was controlling himself with an iron hand and nobody dares ask him what happened I know I don't dare ask him and I am a passenger a privileged person this redoubtable old sea Relic has inspired me with the respect for him that partakes half of timidity and half of awe he acts as if he were suffering from concussion of the brain his pain is evident not alone in his eyes and the strained expression of his face but by his conduct when he thinks he is unobserved last night just for a breath of air in a moment's gaze at the stars I came out of the cabin door and stood on the main deck under the break of the poop from directly over my head came a low and persistent groaning my curiosity was aroused and I retreated into the cabin came out softly onto the poop by way of the Chart House and strolled noiselessly forward in my swipers it was Mr Pike he was leaning collapsed on the rail his head resting on his arms he was giving voice in secret to the pain that wrecked him a dozen feet away he could not be heard but close to his shoulder I could hear his steady smothered groaning that seemed to take the form of a chance also at regular intervals he would mutter oh dear oh dear oh dear oh dear oh dear always he repeated the phrase five times then returned to his groaning I stole away his eye Illinois as I had come yet he resolutely stands his watches and performs all his duties of chief officer oh I forgot Miss West dared to quiz him and he replied that he had a toothache and that if it didn't get better he'd pull it out what I cannot learn what has happened there were no eyewitnesses he says that the Asiatic Clique discussing the affair in the cooks room thinks the three gangsters are responsible Bert Ryan is carrying a lame shoulder nosy Murphy is limping as from some injury in the hips and kid twist has been so badly beaten that he has not left his bunk for two days and that is all the data to build on the gangsters are as closed-mouthed as Mr Pike the Asiatic click has decided that murder was attempted and that all that saved the mate was his hard skull last evening and the second dog watch I got another proof that Captain West is not so oblivious of what goes on the board the Elsinore as he seems had gone forward along the deck to the mizen mast in the shadow of which I was leaning from the main deck and the alleyway between the midship house and the rail came the voices of Burt rein nosy Murphy and Mr malaire it was not ship's work they were having a friendly even sociable chat for their voices hum genially and now and again one or another laughed and sometimes all laughed I remembered wada's report of this unseemen-like intimacy of the second mate with the gangsters and tried to make out the nature of the conversation but the gangsters were low voiced and all I could catch was the tone of friendliness and good nature suddenly from the poop game Captain West's voice it was the voice not of the Samurai Riding the Storm but of the Samurai calm and called it was clear soft and mellow as the mellowest bell ever cast by Eastern artificers of old time to call worshipers to prayer I know I slightly chilled to it it was so exquisitely sweet and yet his passion was as The Ring Of Steel on a frosty night and I knew the effect on the men beneath me was electrical I could feel them stiffened and chilled to it as I had stiffened and chilled and yet all he said was Mr melaire yes sir answered Mr Miller after a moment of 10 silence come after came Captain West's voice I heard the second mate move along the deck beneath me and stop at the foot of the poo platter your place is aft on the poop Mr mellair said the cold passionless voice yes sir answered the second mate that was all not another word was spoken Captain West resumed his stroll on the weather side of the poop and Mr malware ascending the ladder went to pacing up and down the Lee side I continued along the bridge to the folks I had and purposely remained there half an hour of air I returned to the cabin by way of the main deck although I did not analyze my Modi if I knew that I did not desire anyone to know I had overheard the occurrence I have made a discovery ninety percent of our crew is brunette aft with the exception of water and the steward who are our servants we are all blondes what led me to this discovery was woodruff's effects of tropical light on white men which I am just reading major woodruff's thesis is that the white-skinned blue-eyed Aryan born to government and command ever leaving his Primal overcast and foggy home ever commands and governs the rest of the world and ever perishes because of the two white light he encounters it is a very tenable hypothesis and will bear looking into but to return every one of us who sits aft in the high places a blonde Aryan Ford 11 with the 10 percent of degenerate bonds the remaining 90 percent of the slaves that toll for us are brunettes they will not perish according to Woodruff they will inherit the earth not because of their capacity for Mastery in government but because of their skin pigmentation which enables their tissues to resist the ravages of the Sun and I look at the four of us at table Captain West his daughter Mr Pike and myself all fair-skinned blue-eyed and perishing yet mastering and commanding like our fathers before us to the end of our type on the earth uh well ours is a largely history and though we may be doomed to pass in our time we shall have trod on the faces of All Peoples discipline them to obedience taught them government and dwelt in the Palaces we have compelled them by the weight of our own right arms to build for us the Elson already picks this in miniature the best of the food and all spacious and beautiful accommodation is ours forward is a big sty in his life then as a king Captain West sits above all as a captain of soldiers Mr Pike enforces his King's will miss West is a princess of the royal house and I am I not an honorable Noble lineage pensioner on the deeds and achievements of my father who and his day compelled thousands of the Lesser types to the building of the fortune I enjoy end of chapter 22. chapter 23 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore this library of ox recording is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 23. the Northwest trade carried us almost into the southeast trade and then left us for several days to roll and swelter in the doldrums during this time I have discovered that I have a genius for rifle shooting Mr Pike swore I must have had the wrong practice and I confess I Was Myself startled by the ease of the thing of course it's The Knack but one must be so made I suppose in order to be able to acquire The Knack by the end of half an hour standing on the heaving deck and shooting at bottles floating in the rolling swell I found that I broke each bottle at the first shot the supply of empty bottles giving out Mr Pike was so interested that he had the carpenter saw me a lot of small square blocks of hardwood these were more satisfactory a well-aimed shot threw them out of the water and spinning into the air and I could use a single block until it had drifted out of range in an hour's time I could shooting quickly and at short range empty my magazine to the block and hit it nine times and on occasion 10 times out of 11. I might not have judged my aptitude as unusual had I not induced Miss West and wada to try their hands neither had black like mine I finally persuaded Mr Pike and he went behind the Wheelhouse so that none of the crew might see how poor a shot he was he was never able to hit the mark and was guilty of the most eludicrous misses I never could get the hang of rifle shooting he announced disgustedly but when it comes to close range with a gat I'm right there I guess I might as well overhaul mine and limber it up he went below and came back with a huge 44 automatic pistol and a handful of loaded clips anywhere from right against the body up to 10 or 12 feet away holding for the stomach it's astonishing Mr path Hurst what you can do with the weapon like this now you can't use a rifle and a mix-up I've been down and under with the bunch giving me the boot when I turned loose with this talk about damage it rains them the full length of their bodies one of them had just rounded his Brogan's on my face when I let him have it the bullet entered just above his knee smashed the collarbone where it came out and then clipped off an ear I guess that bullet's still going it took more than a full-size man to stop it so I say give me a good handy Gap when something's doing ain't you afraid you'll use all your ammunition up he asked anxiously half an hour later as I continued to crack away with my new toy he was quite reassured when I told him water had brought along 50 000 rounds for me in the midst of the shooting two sharks came swimming around they were quite large Mr Pike said and he estimated their length at 15 feet it was Sunday morning so that the crew except for working the ship had its time to itself and soon the carpenter with a rope for a fish line and a great iron hook bedded with a chunk of salt pork the size of my head captured first one and then the other of the monsters they were hoisted in on the main deck and then I saw a spectacle of the cruelty of the sea the full crew gathered about with sheath knives hatchets clubs and big butcher knives borrowed from the galley I shall not give the details say that they gloated and lusted and roared and bellowed their Delight in the atrocities they committed finally the first of the two fish was thrown back into the ocean with a pointed stake thrust into its upper and lower Jaws so that it could not close its mouth inevitable and prolonged starvation was the faith thus meted out to it I'll show you something boys and if they cried as they prepared to handle the second shark The Maltese Cockney had been a most capable Master of Ceremonies with the first one more than anything else I think was I hardened against these brutes by what I saw them do in the end the maltreated fish threshed about the deck entirely eviscerated nothing remained but the mirror flesh shell of the creature yet it would not die it was amazing the life that lingered when all the vital organs were gone but more amazing things were to follow Mulligan Jacobs his arms of butchers to the elbows without as much as by your leave suddenly thrust the hunk of meat into my hand I sprang back startled and dropped it to the deck while a gleeful howl went up from the two score men I was ashamed despite myself these brutes held me in little respect and after all human nature is so strange a compound that even the philosopher dislikes being held in this esteem by the brutes of his own species I looked at what I had dropped it was the heart of the shark and as I looked there under my eyes on the scorching deck where the pitch oozed from the seams the heart pulsed with life and I dared I would not permit these animals to laugh at any fastidiousness of mine I stooped and picked up the heart and while I concealed and conquered my qualms I held it in my hand and felt it beat in my hand at any rate I had won a mild victory over Mulligan Jacobs for he abandoned me for the more delectable diversion of torturing the shark that would not die for several minutes it had been lying quite motionless Mulligan Jacobs moted a heavy blow on the nose with the Plaid of a hatchet and is the thing galvanized in the life and flung its body about the deck the little feminist man screamed in ecstasy the hooks are in it the hooks are in it and burning hot he squirmed and wrathed with finished the light and again he struck it on the nose and made it leap this was too much and I beat a retreat Fain and boredom or cessation of interest of course and absolutely carrying the still throbbing heart in my hand as I Came Upon the proof I saw him as West with her sewing basket emerging from the port door of the Chart House the deck chairs were on that side so I stole around on the starboard side of the Chart House and ordered a fling overboard unobserved the Dreadful thing I carried but drying on the surface of the tropical heat and still pulsing inside it stuck to my hand so that it was a bad cast instead of clearing the railing it struck on the pin Rail and stuck there in the shade and as I opened the door to go below and wash my hands with the last glance I saw at Pulse where it had fallen when I came back it was still pulsing I heard a splash oversight from the waist of the ship and knew the carcass had been flung overboard I did not go around the Chart House and joined Miss West but stood enthralled by the spectacle of that heart that beat in the Tropic Sun boisterous shouts from the sailors attracted my attention they had all climbed to the top of the tall Rail and were watching something outboard I followed their gaze and saw the amazing thing that long eviscerated shark was not dead it moved it swam it thrashed about and ever it strove to escape from the surface of the ocean sometimes it swam down as deep as 50 or 100 feet and then still struggling to escape the surface struggled involuntarily to the surface each failure thus to escape fetched wild laughter from the men but why did they laugh the thing was Sublime horrible but it was not humorous I leave it to you what is there laughable in the sight of a pain distraught fish rolling helplessly on the surface of the sea and exposing to the sun all its essential emptiness I was turning away when renewed shouting through my gaze half a dozen other sharks that appeared smaller ones nine or ten feet long they attacked their helpless comrade they tore him to pieces they destroyed him devoured him I saw the last shred of him disappear down their moths he was gone disintegrated entombed in the living bodies of his kind and already entering into the processes of digestion and yet there in the shade on the pin rail that unbelievable and monstrous heart beat on end of chapter 23. chapter 24 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore this LibriVox recording is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 24. The Voyage is doomed to disaster and death I know Mr Pike now and if ever he discovers the identity of Mr malware murder will be done Mr Miller is not Mr malaire he is not from Georgia he is from Virginia his name is Walton Sydney Waltham he is one of the walthams of Virginia a black sheep true but a Waltham of this I am convinced just as utterly as I am convinced that Mr Pike will kill him if he learns who he is let me tell you how I have discovered all this it came last night shortly before midnight when I came upon the poop to enjoy a whiff of the southeast trades in which we are now bowling along close hauled in order to weather Cape San Roque Mr Pike had the watch and I paced up and down with him while he told me old pages of his life he has often done this could not see grouched and often he is mentioned with pride yes with reverence a Master with whom he sailed five years old Captain Somers he called him the finest squarest noblest man I ever sailed under sir well last night our talk turned on the lugrubious subjects and Mr Pike wicked old man that he is discounted on the wickedness of the world and on the wickedness of the man who murdered Captain Somers he was an old man over 70 years old Mr Pike went on and they say he'd got a touch of palsy I hadn't seen him for years you see I'd had to clear out from the coast because of trouble and that devil of a second mate caught him in bed late at night and beat him to death it was terrible they told me about it right in San Francisco on board the Jason Harrison it happened 11 years ago and you know what they did first they gave the murder her life when he should have been hanged his plea was Insanity from having had his head chopped open a long time before by a crazy sea cook and when he'd served seven years the governor pardoned him he wasn't any good but his people were a powerful old Virginian family the walthams I guess you've heard of them and they brought all kinds of pressure to bear his name was Sydney Waltham at this moment the warning Bell a single stroke 15 minutes before the change of watch rang out from the wheel and was repeated by the lookout on the Folk Soul head Mr Pike under his stress of feeling had stopped walking and we stood at the break of the poop as chance would have it Mr melaire was a quarter of an hour ahead of time and he climbed the poop ladder and Stood Beside us while the mate concluded his tail I didn't mind it Mr Pike continued as long as he'd got to life and was serving his time but when they pardoned him out after only seven years I swore I'd get him and I will I don't believe in God or devil and it's a rotten crazy world anyway but I do believe in hunches and I know I'm going to get him what will you do I queried do Mr Pike's voice was fraught with surprise that I should not know do well what did he do to Old Captain Somers yet he's disappeared these last three years now I've heard neither hide nor hair of him but he's the Sailor and he'll drift Back to the Sea and someday and the illumination of a match with which the second mate was lighting his pipe I saw Mr Pike's gorilla arms and huge clench Paws raised to heaven and his face convulsed and working also in that brief moment of light I saw that the second mate's hand which held the match was shaking and I ain't never seen even a photo of him Mr Pike added but I've got the general idea of his hooks and he's got a mark unmistakable I could know him by it in the dark all I'd have to do is feel it someday I'll stick my fingers into that Mark what did you say Sir was the captain's name Mr malware asked casually Somers old Captain Somers Mr Pike answered Mr Miller repeated the name aloud several times and then Hazard did didn't he command that a lambor 30 years ago that's the man I thought I recognized him I laid anchor in a ship next to his in table Bay that time ago oh the wickedness of the world the wickedness of the world Mr Pike muttered as he turned and Strode away I said good night to the second mate and started to go below when he called to me in a low voice Mr pathurst I stopped and then he said hurriedly and Confused to me never mind sir I beg your pardon I I've changed my mind below the lion in my bunk I found myself unable to read my mind was bent on returning to what had just occurred on deck and against my will the most gruesome speculations kept suggesting themselves and then came Mr malware he had swept down the booby hatch into the big after room and then through the hallway to my room he entered noiselessly on Clumsy tiptoes and pressed his finger warningly to his lips not till he was beside my bunk did he speak and then it was in a whisper I beg your pardon Sir Mr pathurst I I beg your pardon but you see sir I was just passing and seeing you awake I I thought it would not inconvenient you to you see I thought I might just as well prefer a small favor saying that I would not inconvenience you sir I I waited for him to proceed and then the pause that ensued while he licked his dry lips with his tongue the Thane ambushed in his skull peered at me through his eyes and seemed almost on the verge of Leaping out and pouncing upon me well sir he began again this time more coherently it's just a little thing foolish on my part of course a whim so to say but you will remember near the beginning of the voyage I showed you a scar on my head a really small Affairs sir which I contracted in a misadventure it amounts to a deformity which it is my fancy to conceal not for the world sir would I care to have Miss West for instance know that I carried such a deformity a man is a man sir you understand and you have not spoken of it to her no I replied it just happens that I have not nor to anybody else to say captain West or say Mr Pike no I haven't mentioned it to anybody I have heard he could not conceal the relief he experienced the perturbation went out of his face and mannered and the ambushed thing Drew back deeper into the recess of his skull the favor Sir Mr pathurst that I would prefer is that you will not mention that will matter to anybody I suppose he smiled and his voice was superlatively Suave it is Vanity on my part you understand I am sure I nodded and made a Restless movement with my book as evidence that I desired to resume my reading I can depend upon you for that Mr pathurst his whole voice and matter had changed it was practically a command and I could almost see fangs buried in menacing sprouting in the jaws of that thing I fancied dwelt behind his eyes certainly I answered coldly thank you sir I thank you he said and without more Ado tiptoed from the room of course I did not read how could I nor did I sweep my mind ran on and on and not until the steward brought my coffee shortly before five did I sink into my first nose one thing is very evident Mr Pike does not dream that the murderer of Captain Somers is on board the Elsinore he has never glimpsed that for a judges Fisher that collaps Mr malware's or rather Sydney waltham's skull and I for one shall never tell Mr Pike and I know now why from the very first I dislike the second mate and I understand that life thing that other thing that works within and peers out through the eyes I have recognized the same thing in the three gangsters Ford like the second mate they are prison Birds the restraint the secrecy and iron control of prison life is developed in all of them terrible other selves yes and another thing that's very evident on board this ship driving now through the South Atlantic for the winter passage of Cape Horn are all the elements of sea tragedy and horror we are freighted with human Dynamite that is liable at any moment to below our tiny floating world to fragments end of chapter 24. chapter 25 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore this fibrovox recording is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 25. the day slipped by the southeast trade is brisk than small splashes of sea occasionally invade my open ports Mr Pike's room was soaked yesterday this is the most exciting thing that has happened for some time the gangsters rule in the Folk Soul Larry and shorty have had a harmless fight the hooks continue to burn and Mulligan Jacob's brain Charles Davis resides alone in his little steel room coming out only to get his food from the galley Miss West plays and sings doctors possum wanders and is forever otherwise busy with her fancy work Mr Pike runs the phonograph every other evening and second dog watch Mr malware hides the clafton has had I keep his secret in Captain West more remote than ever sits in the draft of wind in the Twilight cabin we are now 37 days at Sea in which time until today we have not cited The Vessel and today at one time no less than six vessels were visible from the deck not until I saw these ships was I able thoroughly to realize how lonely this ocean is Mr Pike tells me we are several hundred miles off the South American Coast and yet only the other day it seems we were scarcely more distant from Africa a big velvety moth fluttered aboard this morning and we are filled with conjecture how possibly could it have come from the South American Coast these hundreds of miles in the teeth of the trades the Southern Cross has been visible of course for weeks the North Star has disappeared behind the Bulge of the earth and the Great Bear At His Highest is very low soon it too will be gone and we shall be raising the Magellan clouds I remember the fight between Larry and shorty water reports that Mr Pike watched it for some time until becoming incensed at their awkwardness he clouded both of them with his open hands and made them stop announcing that until they could make a better showing he intended doing all the fighting on the Elsinore himself it is a feat Beyond me to realize that he is 69 years old and when I look at the tremendous build of him and that his fearful men handling hands I conjure up a vision of his avenging Captain Somers murder life is cruel amongst the elsinore's five thousand tons of coal are thousands of rats there is no way for them to get out of their steel-walled prison for all the ventilators are guarded with Stout wire mesh on her previous Voyage loaded with barley they increased and multiplied now they are imprisoned in the call and cannibalism is what must occur among them Mr Pike says that when we reach Seattle there will be a dozen or a score of survivors huge fellows the strongest and fiercest sometimes passing the mouth of one ventilator that is in the after wall of the Chart House I can hear their plaintiff squealing and crying from Far beneath in the coal other and luckier rats are in the tween decks forward where all the spare suits of Sails are stored they come out and run about the deck at night steal food from the galley and lap up the Dew which reminds me that Mr Pike will no longer look at possum it seems under his suggestion that what a trapped a wrapped in the donkey engine room wadda swears that it was the father of all rats and that by actual measurement it scaled 18 inches from nose to the tip of tail also it seems that Mr Pike and wada with the door shut in the former's room pitted the rat against possum and that possum was elect they were compelled to kill the rat themselves while possum when all was over lay down and had a fit now Mr Pike abhors the coward and his disgust with possum is profound he no longer plays with the puppy nor even speaks to him and whenever he passes him on the deck glower saurably at him I have been reading up the South Atlantic sailing directions and I find that we are now entering the most beautiful sunset region in the world and this evening we were favored with the sample I was in my quarters overhauling my books when Miss West called to me from the foot of the Chart House stairs Mr Panthers come quick oh do come quick you can't afford to miss it half the sky from the Zenith to the Western sea lion was an astonishing sheet of pure pale even gold and through this sheen on the horizon burned the Sun a disc of richer gold the gold of the sky grew more golden then tarnished before our eyes and began to go faintly with red as the red deepened a Mist spread over the whole sheet of gold and the burning yellow sun Turner was never guilty of so audacious and orgy and gold mist presently along the horizon entirely completing the circle of sea and sky the tight-packed shapes of the trade wind clouds began to show through the mist and as they took form they spilled with rose color at their upper edges while their bases were a pulsing bluish White I say it advised the way all the colors of this display pulsed as the gold Mist continued to clear away the colors became garnish bold the turquoises went into greens and the Roses turned to the red of blood and the purple and indigo of the long swells of sea were bronzed with the color riot in the sky while across the water like gigantic serpents crawled red and green Sky Reflections and then all the gorgeousness quickly dulled and the warm Tropic Darkness Drew about us end of chapter 25. chapter 26 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore this fibrovox recording is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 26. the Elsinore is truly the ship of souls the world and miniature and because she is such a small world craving this vastitude devotion as our larger World cleave space the strange just the positions that continually occur are startling for instance this afternoon on the poop let me describe it here was Miss West in a crisp duck sailor suit immaculately White open at the throat where under the broad collar was knotted a man of war black silk handkerchief her smooth groomed hair the trifle rebellious in the breeze was glorious and here was I in white ducks white shoes and white silk shirt as Immaculate and well-tended as she the Stewart was just bringing the pretty tea service for Miss West and in the background wada hovered we had been discussing philosophy or rather I had been feeling her out and from a sketch of Spinoza's anticipations of the modern Mind through the speculative interpretations of the latest achievements in physics officer Oliver Lodge and Sir William Ramsay I had come as usual to Deca sarees who I was quoting when Mr Pike snarled orders to the watch and this rise into the eyes you're a pure perception attainable only by a very few human beings the spectacular sense is born I was quoting life is no longer good or evil it is a Perpetual play of forces without beginning or end the freed intellect merges itself with the world well and partakes of its Essence which is not a moral Essence better than an aesthetic essence and at this moment the watch swarmed onto the proof to haul on the port braces of The Miz and Sky sail Royal and the Gallant sale the sailors passed us or toiled close to us with glowered eyes they did not look at us so far removed from them were we it was this contrast that got my fancy here were the high and low slaves and Masters Beauty and ugliness cleanness and filth their feet were bare and scaled with patches of tar and Pitch their unbathed bodies were garmented and the meanest of clothes dingy dirty ragged and sparse each one had on but two garments dungaree trousers and a shoddy cotton shirt and we in our comfortable deck chairs are two servants that are backs the quintessence of elegant Leisure sip delicate tea from beautiful fragile cups and looked on at these wretched ones whose waiver made possible the Journey of Our Little World we did not speak to them nor recognize their existence any more than they would have dared speak to us and Miss West with the appraising eye of a plantation mistress for the condition of her field slaves looked him over you see how they have fleshed up she said as they coiled the last turns of the Rope over the pins and Faded Away forward off the poop it is the regular hours the good weather the hard work the Open Air the sufficient food and the absence of whiskey and they will keep in this fetal until they get off the horn and then you will see them go down from day to day a winter passage of the horn is always a severe strain on the men but then once we are around and in the good weather of the Pacific you will see them gain again from day to day and when we reach Seattle they will be in Splendid shape only they will go ashore drink up their wages in several days and ship away on other vessels in precisely the same sodden miserable condition that they were in when they sailed with us from Baltimore are and just then Captain West came out the Chart House door strolled by for a single turn up and down and with a smile and a word for us and an all-observant eye for the ship the trim of Versailles the wind and the sky and the weather promise went back through the Chart House door the blonde Aryan Master the king the Samurai and I finished sipping my tea of delicious and most expensive Aroma and our slant-eyed dark-skinned serviters carried the pretty gear away and I read continuing deciseries Instinct Wells creates carries on the work of the species the intellect destroys negatives satires and ends in pure nihoism Instinct creates life endlessly hurling forth profusely and blindly it's clowns tragedians and comedians intellect Remains The Eternal spectator of the play it participates it well but never gives itself holy to the Fine sport the intellect freed from the

the wind is capricious rain squalls and wind squalls Vex the Elsinore one hour we may be rolling sickeningly in the dead column and the next hour we may be dashing 14 knots through the water and taking off sail as fast as the men can clue up and lower away a night of calm when sleep is well nigh impossible and the sultry muggy air may be followed by a day of blazing sun and an oily swell from the soured connoting great Gales in that area of ocean we are sailing toward or all day long the Elsinore under an overcast Sky Royals and Sky sails furled may plunge and buck under wind pressure into a short and choppy head sea and all this means work for the men taking Mr Pike's judgment they are very inadequate though by this time they know the ropes he growls and grumbles and snorts and sneers whenever he watches them doing anything today at 11 in the morning the wind was so violent continuing and greater gusts after having come in a great guest that Mr Pike ordered the Mainsail taken off the great Crow Jack was already off but the watch could not clear up the Mainsail and after much Vain sing-songing and foe hauling the watch below was rounded out to Bear a hand my God Mr Pike drawn to me two watches for a rag like that one half a decent watch could do it look at that preventer most in the mine for Nancy he looked the saddest sickest bleakest creature I have ever seen he was so wretched so miserable so helpless and Sundry Byers was just as impotent the expression on his face was a pain and hopelessness and as he pressed his abdomen he lumbered feudally about ever seeking something he might do and ever failing to find it he foddered he would stand and stare at one rope for a minute or so at a time following it Aloft with his eyes through the Maze of ropes and stabs and gears with all the intentness of a man working out an intricate problem then holding his hand against his stomach he would lumber on a few steps and select another rope for study oh dear oh dear Mr Pike lamented how can one drive with bosons like that in a crew like that just the same if I was capped into this ship I'd drive him I'd show him what Drive was if I had to lose a few of them and when they grow weak off The Horn what will we do it'll be both watches all the time which will weaken them just that much the faster evidently this winter passage of the horn is all that one has been led to expect from reading the narratives of The Navigators iron men like the two mates are very respectful of Cape stiff as they call that uttermost tip of the American continent speaking of the two mates iron maid and iron mouth that they are it is amusing that in really serious moments both of them curse with oh dear oh dear and the Spells of calm I take great Delight in the little rifle I have already fired away 5 000 rounds and have come to consider myself an expert whatever The Knack of shooting may be I've got it when I get back I shall take up target practice it is a neat theft sport not only is possum afraid of the sails and the frats but he is afraid of rifle fire and at the first discharge goes yelping and cayenne below the dislike Mr Pike has developed for the poor little puppy as ludicrous he even told me that if it were his dog he'd throw it overboard for a Target just the same he is an affectionate heartwarming little rascal and has already crept so deep into my heart that I am glad Miss West did not accept him and oh he insists on scraping with me on top the bedding a proceeding which is scandalized the mate I suppose he'll be using your toothbrush next Mr Pike growled at me but the puppy loves my companionship and is never happier than when on the bed with me yet the bed is not entirely Paradise for possum is badly frightened when ours is the Lee side and the Seas pound and smash against the glass boards then the little beggar electric with fear to every hair tap crouches and snarls menacingly and almost at the same time whimper is appeasingly at the storm monster outside Father Knows to see Miss West said to me this afternoon he understands it and he loves it or it may be habit I ventured she shook her head he does know it and he loves it that is why he has come back to it all his people before him were see folk his grandfather Anthony West made 46 voyages between 1801 and 1847 and his father Robert sailed Master to the northwest coast before the gold days and was Captain of some of the fastest Cape Horn Clippers after the Gold Discovery Elijah West father's great-grandfather was a privateersman in the revolution he commanded the armed Brig new defense and even before that Elijah's father in turn and Elijah's father's father were Masters and owners on the long Voyage Merchant Adventures Anthony West in 1813 and 1814 commanded the David Bruce with letters of Marquis he was half owner with Gracie and Sons as the other half owners she was a 200-ton schooner built right up in Maine she carried a long 18 pounder two ten Pounders and 10 six Pounders and she sailed like a witch she ran the blockade off Newport and got away to the English Channel in the Bay of Biscay and do you know though she only cost twelve thousand dollars all told she took over three hundred thousand dollars of British prizes a brother of his was on the wasp so you see the sea is in our blood she is our mother as far back as we can trace all our line was born to the Sea she laughed and went on weave Pirates and slavers in our family and all sorts of disreputable sea Rovers old Ezra West just how far back I don't remember was executed for piracy and his body hung in Chains at Plymouth to see his father's blood and he knows well a ship as you would know a dog or a horse every ship he sails has a distinct personality for him I have watched him in high moments and seen him think but oh the times I have seen him when he does not think when he feels and knows everything without thinking at all really with all that appertains to the Sea and ships he is an artist there is no other word for it you think a great deal of your father I remarked he is the most wonderful man I have ever known she replied remember you are not seeing him at his best he has never been the same since mother's death if ever a man and a woman were one they were she broke off then concluded abruptly you don't know him you don't know him at all end of

I think we are going to have a fine Sunset Captain West remarked last evening Miss West and I abandoned our rubber of Cribbage and hastened on Deck the sunset had not yet come but all Was preparing as we gazed we could see the sky Gathering the materials grouping the gray clouds and long lines and towering masses spreading its pallet with slow growing glowing tents and sudden Blobs of color it's the Golden Gate Miss West cried indicating the West see we're just inside the harbor look to the South there if that isn't the skyline of San Francisco there's the call building and there far down the Ferry Tower and surely that is the Fairmont her eyes roved back through the opening between the cloud masses and she clapped her hands it's the sunset within the sunset see the pharaohons swimming in a miniature orange and red sunset all their own isn't it the Golden Gate in San Francisco and the federal lawns she appealed to Mr Pike who leaning there on the poop rail was divided between gazing sourly at Nancy pottering on the main deck and sourly at possum who on the bridge crouched with Terror each time the crow Jack flapped emptily above him the mate turned his head and favored the sky picture with the solemn stare oh I don't know he growled it may look like the Pharaoh ones to you but to me it looks like a battleship coming right in the gate with a bone in its teeth at a 20 knot clip sure enough The Floridian fairlawns had metamorphosed into a giant warship then came the color Riot the dominant tone of which was Green it was green green Green the blue green of the springing year and sear in yellow green and Tawny brown green of autumn there were orange green gold green and a copper green and all these greens were rich green Beyond description and yet the richness and the greenness passed even as we gazed upon it going out of the gray clouds and into the sea which assumed the Exquisite golden pink of forest copper while the hollows of the smooth and silken ripples were touched by a most ethereal pea green the gray clouds became a long low swath of ruby red or Garnet red such as one season a glass of heavy burgundy when held to the light there was such depth to this red and below it separated from the main color mass by a line of great white fog or line of sea was another and smaller streak of Ruddy colored wine I strolled across the poop to the port side oh come back look look Miss West cried to meet what's the use I answered I have something just as good over here she joined me and as she did so I noted the sour grin on Mr Pike's face the Eastern Heavens were equally spectacular that quarter of the sky was sheer and delicate shallow blue the upper portions of which faded changed through every Harmony into a pale yet warm Rose all trembling palpitating with Misty Blue tinting in the pink the reflection of this Colored Sky shell upon the water made of the sea a glimmering watered silk all changeable Blue Nile green and salmon pink it was silky silken a wonderful silk that veneered and frost the softly moving wavy water and The Pale Moon looked like a wet Furrow gleaming through the tinted mist of the sky shell and the southern quadrant of the sky we discovered an entirely different Sunset what would be accounted a very excellent orange and red sunset anywhere with gray clouds hanging low and lighted intended on all their under edges huh Mr Pike muttered roughly while we were exclaiming over our fresh Discovery look at the sunset I got here to the north it ain't doing so badly now I leave it to you and it wasn't the northern quadrant was a great fan of color and Cloud that spread ribs of feathery pink fleece frilled from The Horizon to the zenith it was all amazing four sunsets that the one time in the sky each quadrant glowed and burned and pulsed with a sunset distinctly its own and as the colors dulled in the slow Twilight the moon still missed the web tiers of brilliant heavy silver into the dim lilac sea and then came the hush of darkness and the night and we came to ourselves out of reverie sated with beauty leaning toward each other as we leaned upon the rail side by side I never grow tired of watching Captain West in a way he Bears the sort of resemblance to several of Washington's portraits he is six feet of aristocratic thinness and has a very definite leisurely and stately Grace of movement his thinness is almost ascetic in appearance and manner he is the perfect old type New England gentleman he has the same gray eyes as his daughter although his or genial rather than warm and his eyes have the same trick of smiling his skin is pinkier than hers and his brows and lashes are fairer but he seems removed Beyond passion or even simple enthusiasm Miss West is firm like her father but there is warmth in her firmness he is clean he is sweet and courteous but he is cruelly sweet cruelly courteous with all a certain graciousness and cabin or on Deck so far as the social equals are concerned his graciousness is cool elevated then he is the perfect Master of the art of doing nothing he never reads except the Bible yet he is never bored often I note him in a deck chair studying his perfect fingernails and elsewhere not seeing them at all Miss West says he loves the sea and I ask myself a thousand times but how he shows no interest in any phase of the sea although he called our attention to the Glorious Sunset I have just described he did not remain on Deck to enjoy it he sat Below in the big leather chair not reading nor dozing but merely gazing straight before him had nothing the days pass and the seasons pass we left Baltimore at the tail end of winter went into spring and on through summer and now we're in fall weather and urging our way south to the winner of Cape Horn and as we Double K porn and proceed North we shall go through spring and summer a long summer pursuing the sun North through its declination and arriving at Seattle in summer and all these seasons have occurred and will have occurred in the space of five months our white ducks are gone and in south of attitude 35 we're aware in the garments of a temperate climb I noticed that water has given me heavier under clothes and heavier pajamas and the possum of nights is no longer content with the top of the bed but must crawl underneath the bed clothes we are now off the plate a region notorious for storms and Mr Pike is on the lookout for a pampero captain West does not seem to be on the lookout for anything yet I noticed that he spends longer hours on Deck when the sky and barometer are threatening yesterday we had a hint of flight weather and today an awesome Fiasco of the same the hint came last evening between the Twilight and the dark there was practically no wind and the Elsinore just maintaining steriage Way by means of intermittent fans of air from the North floundered exasperatingly in a huge classy swell that rolled up as an echo from some blown out storm to the South ahead of us arising with the swiftness of magic was a dense white flackness I suppose it was cloud formation but it bore no semblance to clouds it was merely and surely a Blackness that towered higher and higher until it overhung us when it spread to right and left blotting out half the sea and still the white Puffs from the north filled are sails and still as the Olsen are floundered on the huge smooth swells and the sails emptied and flapped a hollow Thunder we moved slowly towards that ominous blackness in the east in what was quite distinctly inactive Thundercloud the lightning fairly winked while the blackness in front of us was rent with blobs and flashes of lighting the last Puffs left us and then the hushes between the rumbles of the nearing Thunder the voices of the men Aloft on The Yards came to one's ears as if they were right beside one instead of being hundreds of feet away and up in the air that they were duly impressed by what was impending was patent from the earnestness with which they worked both watches toiled under both maids and Captain West rolled the poop in his usual casual way and gave no orders at all saving low conversational tones when Mr Pike Came Upon the poop and conferred with him Miss West having deserted the scene five minutes before returned a prophecy woman clad in oil skins saw Wester and long sea boots she ordered me quite peremptorily to do the same but I could not bring myself to leave the deck for fear of missing something so I compromised by having water bring my storm gear to me and then the wind came smack out of the Blackness with the abruptness of thunder and accompanied by the most diabolical Thunder and with the rain and thunder came the Blackness it was tangible it drove past us in the bellowing wind like so much stuff that one could feel Blackness as well as wind impacted on us there is no other way to describe it than by that old ancient old way of saying one could not see his hand before his face isn't it Splendid Miss West shouted into my ear close beside me as we clung to the railing at the break of the poop superb I shouted back my lips to her ear so that her hair tickled my face and I know not why it must have been spontaneous with both of us and that shouting Blackness of wind as we clung to the rail to avoid being blown away our hands went out to each other and my hand and hers gripped and pressed and then held mutually to the rail daughter of herodias I commented grimly to myself but my hand did not leave hers what is happening I shot a dinner here we've lost weight gamer answer I think ricotta back the wheel's up but she could not steer the Gabriel voice of the Samurai rang out hard over was his mellow storm call to the man at the wheel hard over sir came the helmsman's reply vague cracked with strain and smothered came the lightning before us behind us on every side bathing Us in flaming minutes of the time and all the while we were deafened by the unceasing Uproar of thunder it was a weird sight far off the black skeleton of spiers and masks from which the sails had been removed lower down the sailors clinging like monstrous bugs as they passed the gaskets and furled Below them the few set sails filled backwards against the masts gleaming Whitely wickedly evilly in the fearful illumination and at the bottom the deck and Bridge and houses of the Elsinore and a tangled riffraff of flying ropes and clumps and bunches of swaying pulling hauling human creatures it was a great Moment The Master's moment caught our back with all our bulk and tonnage and Institute of gear and our Heaven aspiring masts 200 feet above our heads and our master was there in cheating flame slender casual imperturbable with two men one of them a murderer under him to pass on and enforce his will and with a herd of inefficience and weaklings to obey that will and Pull and haul and by the sheer leverage of physics manipulate our floating world so that it would endure this Fury of the elements what happened next what was done I do not know saved it now and again I heard the Gabriel voice for the darkness came and the rain and pouring horizontal sheets it filled my mouth and strangled my lungs as if I had fallen overboard it seemed to drive up as well as down piercing its way into my Southwestern through my oil skins down my tight button collar and into my sea boots I was dizzyed obfuscated by all this onslaught of thunder lightning wind Blackness and water and yet the master near to me thereon the poop lived and moved serenely and all voicing his wisdom and will to the Wisps of creatures who obeyed and by their brute puny strength fold braces slacked sheets dragged horses swung yards and lowered them hauled on butt lines and clear lines smoothed and gasketed the huge spreads of canvas how it happened I know not but miss West and I crouched together clinging to the rail and to each other in the shelter of the thrumming weather cloth my arm was about her and fast to the railing her shoulder pressed close against me and by one hand she held tightly to the lapel with my oil skin an hour later we made our way across the poop to the Chart House helping each other to maintain footing as the elstonar plunged and bucked in the rising sea and was pressed over and down by the weight of wind on a few remaining set sails the wind which had rolled after the rain had risen and recurrent gusts to storm violence but all was well with a gallon ship the crisis was passed and the ship lived and we lived and was streaming faces and bright eyes we looked at each other and laughed in the bright light of the chart room who can blame one for living the sea Miss West cried out exultantly as she rung the rain from her ropes of hair which had gone adrift in the turmoil and the men of the sea she cried the masters of the sea you saw my father he is a king I said he is a king she repeated after me and the Elsinore lifted on a cresting sea and flung down on her side so that we were thrown together and brought up breathless against the wall I said goodnight to her the foot of the stairs and as I passed the open door to the cabin I glanced in they're set Captain West whom I had thought still on Deck his storm trappings were removed his seabirds replaced by slippers and he leaned back in the big weather chair Eyes Wide Open behold invisions in this curling smoke of a cigar against the background of wildly reeling cabin wall it was at 11 this morning that the plate gave us a fiasco last night's was a real pomparo there were mild one today's promised to be a far worse one and then laughed at us as a proper Cosmic joke the wind during the night had so eased that by nine in the morning we had all our to gallon sales set by 10 we were rolling in a Dead Calm by 11 the stuff began making up ominously in the soured the overcast guy closed down our lofty trunk seemed to scrape the cloud Zenith their Horizon Drew in on us till it seemed scarcely half a mile away the Elsinore was in bed in a tiny universe of mist and sea the lightning played sky and her eyes and Drew so close that the Elsinore seemed on the verge of being absorbed sucked in by it sucked up by it then from Zenith to Horizon the sky was cracked with fork lightning and the wet atmosphere turned to a horrid green the rain beginning gently in Dead Calm grew into a deluge of enormous streaming drops it grew darker and darker a green darkness and in the cabin though it was Midday wada and the steward why did Lambs the lightning came closer and closer until the ship was enveloped in it the green Darkness was continually a tremble with flame through which broke greater illuminations of forked lightning these became more violent as the rain lessened and so absolutely were we centered in this electrical Maelstrom there was no connecting any chain or Flash or Fork of lightning with any particular Thunderclap the atmosphere All About Us failed and claimed such a crashing and smashing we looked every moment for the Elsinore to be struck and never had I seen such colors in lightning although from moment to moment we were dazzled by the greater bolts there persisted always a tremulous pulsing lesser play of light sometimes soft really blue at other times a thin purple that quivered on into a thousand shades of lavender and there was no wind no wind came nothing happened they also nor naked sparred under only lower top sails with spanker and Crow Jack furled was prepared for anything her lower top sails hung in the wimp emptiness from The Yards heavy with rain and flapping soguly when she rolled the cloud Mass thinned the day brightened the green Blackness passed into great Twilight the lightning East the Thunder moved along away from us and there was no wind in half an hour the Sun was shining the Thunder muttered intermittently along the horizon and the Elsinore still rolled in a hush of air you can't tell Sir Mr Pike growled to me 30 years ago I was dismounted right here off the plate in a clap of wind that come on just as that come on it was the changing of the watches and Mr malware who had come on the poop to relieve the mate Stood Beside Me one of the nastiest pieces of water in the world he concurred 18 years ago the plate gave it to me lost half our sticks 20 hours on our being men's cargo shifted and foundered I was two days in the boat before an English picked this up and none of the other boats ever was picked up the Elsinore behaved very well last night I put in Charlie oh hell that wasn't nothing Mr Pike grumbled wait till you see a real pampheral it's a dirty stretch here about an eye for one will be glad when we get across it I'd rather have a dozen k-forn snorters than one of these how about you Mr malware same here sir he answered those southwesters are honest you know what to expect but here you never know the best of ship Masters can get tripped up off the plate as I found out beyond the doubt Mr pie come from Newcomb Celeste as he went down the ladder end of chapter 28. chapter 29 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore this library of ox recording is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 29. the sunsets grow more bizarre and spectacular off this Coast to the Argentine last evening we had high clouds broken white and golden flung disorderly generously over the Western half of the sky while in the East was painted the second Sunset a reflection perhaps in the first at any rate the Eastern sky was a Bank Of Pale clouds that shed soft spread rays of blue and white upon the blue gray sea and the evening before last we had a gorgeous Arizona riot in the west bastioned upon the ocean Cloud tier was piled upon Cloud tier spacious and lofty until we gazed upon the Grand Canyon the Myriad times faster and more Celestial than that of the Colorado the clouds took on the same stratified serrated rose rock formation and all the hollows were filled with the opal blues and purple hazes of the painted lands the sailing directions say that these remarkable sunsets are due to the dust being driven High into the air by the winds that blow across the pompous of the Argentine and our sunset tonight I am writing this at midnight as I sit propped in my blankets wedged by pillows while the Elsinore wallows damnably in a dead calm and a huge swell rolling up from the Cape Horn region where it does seem Gales perpetually blow but our Sunset Turner might have perpetrated it the West Was if a painter had stood off and swapped brush fulls of gray in a green canvas on this green background of Sky the clouds spilled and crumpled but such a background such an orgy of green no shade of green was missing in the interstis large and small between the Milky curdled clouds Nile green high up and then an order each with a thousand Shades blue green brown green gray green and wonderful olive green the tarnished into a rich bronze green during the display of the rest of the Horizon cloud with broadbands of pink and blue and pale green and yellow a little later when the sun was quite down and the background of the curdled Cloud smoldered a wine red mass of color that faded the bronze and tinged all the fading greens with its sanguinary Hue the clouds themselves flushed the rows of all shades while a fan of gigantic streamers of pale Rose radiated toward the Zenith these deepened rapidly into quantine Rose flame and burned along in the slow closing Twilight and with all this wonder of the beauty of the world still glowing in my brains hours afterward I heard the snarling of Mr Pike above my head and the trample and drag your feet as men moved from rope to rope and Pull and haul more weather is making and from the way sail is being taken in it cannot be far off yet a daylight this morning we were still wallowing in the same Dead Calm and sickly swell Miss West says the barometer is down but that the warning has been too long for the plate to amount to anything pamperos happen quickly here and though the Elsinore under bare poles to her upper top sails is prepared for anything it may well be that they will be crowding on canvas in another hour Mr Pike was so fooled that he actually had set the to Gallant sales and the gaskets were being taken off the Royals when the samurai came on Deck strolled back and forth a casual five minutes then spoke in an undertone to Mr Pike Mr Pike did not like it to me a Tyro it was evident that he disagreed with his master nevertheless his voice went out in a scenaro Aloft to the men on the Royal yards to make all fast again then it was clue lines and button lines and lowering of yards as the two Gallant sails were stripped off the crow Jack was taken in and some of the other four and aft hand sales whose order of names I can never remember a breeze set in from the Southwest blowing briskly under a clear sky I can see that Mr Pike was secretly pleased the samurai had been mistaken and each time Mr Pike glanced Aloft at the naked to gallant and Royal yards I knew his thought was that they might well be carrying sail I was quite convinced that the plates had fooled Captain West so was Miss West convinced and being a favored person like myself she frankly told me so father will be setting sail in half an hour she prophesied what Superior weather sends Captain West possesses I know not save the dead is his by Samurai Wright the sky as I have said was clear the air was brittle sparkling gloriously in the windy Sun and yet behold in a brief quarter of an hour the change that took place I had just returned from a trip below and Miss West was venting her scoring on the River Plate and promising to go below to the sewing machine when we heard Mr Pike groan it was a Whimsical groan of disgust Contrition and acknowledgment of inferiority before the master here comes the whole River Plate was what he groaned following his gaze to the Southwest we saw it coming it was a cloud mess that blotted out the sunlight and the day it seemed to swell and Belch and roll over and over on itself as it Advanced with a rapidity that told of enormous wind behind it and in it its speed was headlong terrific and beneath it covering the sea advancing with it was a gray Bank of mist Captain West spoke to the mate who balled the order along and the watch reinforced by the watch below began clearing up the Mainsail and for sale and climbing into the rigging keep off put your wheel over hard over Captain West called gently to the Helmsman and the big wheel spun around and the elsinore's bow fell off so that she might not be caught abacked by the onslaught of wind Thunder Road in that rushing rolling Blackness of cloud and it was rent by lightning as it fell upon us then it was rain wind obscureness of gloom and lightning I caught a glimpse of the men on the lower yards as they were blotted from View and as they Alsina are healed over and down there were 15 men of them to each yard and the gaskets were well past air we were struck how they regained the deck I do not know I never saw for the Elsinore on their own way upper and lower top sales lay down on her side her Port rail buried in the sea and did not rise there was no maintaining an unsupported upright position on that acute slant of deck everybody held on Mr Pike frankly gripped the poop rail with both hands and Miss West and I made friendly clutches and scrambled for footing but I noticed that the samurai poised lightly like a bird on the verge of flight merely rested one hand on the rail he gave no orders as I divined there was nothing to be done he waited that was all and tranquility and Repose the situation was simple either the masts would go or the Elsinore would rise with her masts intact or she would never rise again in the meantime she laid down her lay yard arms almost touching the sea the sea creaming solidly to her hatch comings across the buried unseen rail the minutes were centuries until the bow paid off and the Elsinore turntable before it right into an even Keel immediately this was accomplished kept in West Hunter brought back upon the wind and immediately there upon the big Force Hill went adrift with its gaskets the shock or succession of shocks to the ship from the tremendous buffeting that followed was fearful it seemed she was being racked to Pieces master and mate were side by side when this happened and the Expressions on their face typified them and neither face was apprehension Mr Pike's face bore a sour sneer for the worthless Sailors who had botched the job Captain West's face was serenely considerative still nothing was to be done could be done and for five minutes the Elsinore was shaken as in the maw of some gigantic monster until the last shreds of the Great Piece of canvas had been torn away her for sale has departed for Africa Miss West laughed in my ear she is like her father unaware of fear and now we may as well go below and be comfortable she said five minutes later the worst is over it will only be blow blow blow and a big sea making all day it blew and the big sea that arose made the elsinore's conduct almost unwevable my only comfort was achieved by taking to my bunk and wedging myself with pillows buttressed against the bunk sides by empty soap boxes which water arranged Mr Pike clinging to my door casing while his legs sprawled adrift in the succession of terrific roles paused to tell me that it was a new one on him in the Pompa row line it was all wrong from the first it had not come on right it had no reason to be he paused a little longer and in a casual way that under the circumstances was ridiculously transparent exposed what was at ferment in his mind first of all he was absurd enough to ask if possum showed symptoms of sea sickness next the unburdened is wrath for all the inefficients who had lost the for sale and sympathized with the sail makers for the extra work thrown upon them then he asked permission to borrow one of my books and clinging to my bunk selected Buckner's force and matter for my shelf carefully wedging the empty space with a doubled magazine I used for that purpose still he was worth to depart and judgingly in his brains for a pretext he set up a rambling discourse on River Plate weather and all the time I kept wondering what was behind it all at last it came by the way Mr pathurst he remarked do you happen to remember how many years ago Mr Miller said it was he was dismounted and foundered off here I caught his drift on the instant eight years ago wasn't it I lied Mr Pickle at this sink in and slowly digested it well the Elsinore was guilty of three huge roles down to port and back again now I wonder what ship was sunk off the plate eight years ago he communed as if with himself I guess I'll have to ask Mr Miller her name you can search me for all any I can recollect he thanked me with unwanted elaborateness for force and matter of which I knew he would never read a line and felt his way to the door Harry hung on for a moment as if struck by a new and most accidental idea no it wasn't by any chance that he said 18 years ago he queried I shook my head eight years ago I said that's the way I remember it the why I should remember it at all I don't know but that is what he said I went on with increasing confidence eight years ago I am sure of it Mr Pike looked at me ponderingly and waited until the Elsinore had Fairly righted for an instant Airy took his departure down the hall I think I have followed the working of his mind I have long since learned that his memory of ships officers cargos Gales and disasters is remarkable he is a veritable Encyclopedia of the sea also it is patented that he has equipped himself with Sydney waltham's history as yet he does not dream that Mr malware is Sydney Waltham and he is merely wondering if Mr Miller was a shipmate of Sydney Waltham 18 years ago and the ship lost off the plate in the meantime I shall never forgive Mr Miller for this slip he has made he should have been more careful end of chapter 29. Chapter 30 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore this library of ox recording is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 30. an abominable night a wonderful night sleep I suppose I did sleep in cat naps but I swear I heard every Bell struck until 3 30. then came a change in easement no longer was it a stubborn loggy fight against pressures the Elsinore moved I could feel her slip and slide and send and soar whereas before she had been flung continually down to Port she now rolled as far to one side as to the other I knew what had taken place instead of remaining hoved to on the pampero captain West had turned tail and was running before it this I understood meant a really serious storm for the Northeast was the last direction in which Captain West desired to go but at any rate the movement the Wilder was easier and I slept I was awakened at five by the Thunder of seas that fell aboard rushed down the main deck and crashed against the cabin wall through my open door I could see water swashing up and down the hall while half a foot of water creamed and curdled from under my bunk across the floor each time the ship rolled to starboard the steward brought me my coffee and wedged by boxes and pillows like an equilibriist I sat up and drank it luckily I managed to finish it in time for a succession of terrific roles emptied one of my bookshelves possum crawling upward from my feet under the covered way of my bed yapped with Terror as the Seas smashed and thundered and as the Avalanche of books descended upon us and I could not help but grin when the pasteboard crown smoked me on the head well the puppy was knocked gasping with chestertons what's wrong with the world well what do you think I queried to the steward who is helping to set us in the books to rights he Shrugged his shoulders and his bright slant eyes were very bright as he replied many times I see like this me old man many times I see more bad too much wind too much work rotten damn bad I could guess that the scene on Deck was a spectacle and at six o'clock as gray light showed through my ports then the intervals when they were not submerged Isa the sideboard of my bunk like a gymnast captured by carinine swepters and shattered as I've thrust my bare feet into their chill sogginess I did not wait to dress merrily in pajamas I headed for the poop possum whaling dismally at my desertion it was a feat to travel the narrow Halls Diamond again I paused and held on until my fingertips hurt in the moments of easement I made progress yet I miscalculated the foot of the broad Stairway to the Chart House rested on the cross Hall a dozen feet in length overconfidence and an unusually violent antique of the Elsinore caused the disaster she flung down the starbird with such suddenness and that such a pitch that the flooring seemed to go out from under me and I household helplessly down the incline I missed a frantic clutch at the new oil post flung up my arm in time to save my face and most fortunately World half about and still falling impacted with my shoulder muscle pad on Captain West's door youth will have its way so will a ship and a sea and so will a hundred and seventy pounds of a man the beautiful hardwood door panel splintered the latch fetched away and I broke the nails of the four fingers of my right hand and a feudal grab at the Flying door marring the polished surface with four parallel scratches I kept right on erupting in the captain West's spacious room with the big brass bed Miss West swathed in a Woolen dressing gown Her Eyes heavy still with sleep her hair glorious and for one son groomed clinging in the doorway that gave entrance on the main cabin met my startled gaze with an equally startled gaze it was no time for apologies I kept right on my madway got the foot stanchion and was whipped around in a half circle flat upon Captain West's brass bed Miss West was beginning to laugh come right in she gurgled a score of retorts all deliciously unadvisable tickled my tongue so I said nothing contenting myself with holding on with my left hand while I nursed my stinging right hand under my armpit Beyond her across the floor of the main cabin I saw the steward in pursuit of Captain West's Bible and the sheath of Miss West's music and as she gurgled and laughed at me beholding her in this intimacy of storm the thought flashed through my brain she is a woman she is desirable now did she sense this Freedom unandered flash of mine I know not saved it or after laughter and long conventional training asserted itself as she said I just knew everything was adrift in Father's room he hasn't been in it all night I could hear things rolling around what is wrong are you hurt stubbed my fingers that's all I answered looking at my broken nails and standing gingerly upright my that was a role she sympathized yes I'd started to go upstairs I said and not to turn into your father's bed I'm afraid I've ruined the door came another series of great roles I sat down on the bed and held on Miss West Sakura in the doorway began gurgling again while Beyond across the cabin carpet the Stewart shot past embracing a small writing desk that had evidently carried away from its fastenings when he seized hold of it for support Morsi smashed and crashed against the forward wall of the cabin and the steward failing of lodgement shot back across the carpet still holding the desk from harm taking advantage of favoring spells I managed to affect my exit and gain the new Outpost air the next series of rolls came and as I clung on and waited I could not forget what I had just seen vividly under my eyelids burned the picture of Miss West's sleep Laden eyes her hair and all the softness of her a woman and desirable kept drumming in my brain but I forgot all this when nearly at the top I was thrown up the hill of the stairs as if it had suddenly become downhill my feet flew from stairs to stairs to escape falling and I flew or fell apparently upward until at the top I hung on for dear life while the stern of the Elston North Long Skyward on some mighty surge such antics of so hugely ship the old stereotyped toy describes her for toy she was the sheriff's planner of her Python and the grip of the elements and yet despite this overwhelming sensation of microscopic helplessness I was aware of a sense of Surety there was the samurai informed with his will and wisdom the Elsinore was no cat's paw everything was ordered controlled she was doing what he ordained her to do and no matter what storm Titans bellowed about her and buffeted her she would continue to do what he ordained her to do I glanced into the chart room there he sat leaned back in a screw chair his sea booted legs wedged against the settee holding him in place in the most violent roles his black oil skid coat glistened in the Lamplight with a myriad drops of ocean that advertised a recent return from Dak his southwester black and glistening was like the helmet of some legendary hero he was smoking the cigar and he smiled and greeted me but he seemed very tired and very old old with wisdom however not weakness the Flesh of his face the pink pigment quite washed and worn away was more transparent than ever and yet never was he more Serene Nevermore the master absolute of our tiny fragile world the age that showed in him was not a matter of terrestrial years it was ageless passionless Beyond human never had he appeared so great to me so far remote so much your spirit visitant any cautioned and advised me in silver mellow beneficent voice as I said the Venture of opening the Chart House door to gain outside he knew the moment although I never could have guessed it for myself and gave the word that enabled me to win the poop water was everywhere the Elsinore was rushing through a blaring of water Seas creamed and licked the poop duck Edge not the starboard not a port high in the air over towering and perilously down toppling following Seas pursued our Stern the air was filled with spin drift like a fog or spray no officer of the watch was in sight the proof was deserted say for two helmsmen and streaming oil skins under the half shelter of the open wheelhouse I nodded good morning to them one was Tom the elderly but keen and dependable English sailor the other was Bill Quigley one of a folksal group of three that herded uniquely together though the other two Frank Fitzgibbon and Richard Geller were in the second Night's Watch the three had proved handy with their fists and clannish and they had fought pitched forkso battles with a gangster click and won a sort of neutrality of Independence for themselves they were not exactly Sailors Mr Miller sneering we called them the bricklayers but they had successfully refused subservitude to the gangster crowd to cross the deck from the Chart House to the break of the poop was no slight feat but I managed it and hung onto the railing while the wind stung My Flesh with the flappings of my pajamas at this moment and for the moment the Elsinore righted to an even Keel and dashed along and down the avalanching face of a wave and as she thus righted her deck was filled with water level from a rail to rail Above This flood or knee deep in it Mr Pike and half a dozen Sailors were bunched on the Fife rail of the mizzen Mast the carpenter too was there with a couple of assistance the next roll spilled half a thousand tons of water outboard sheer over the starboard rail while all the starboard ports opened automatically and got huge streams then came the opposite role to port with a clanging shot of the iron doors and a hundred tons of water swashed outboard across the port rail while all the iron doors on that side opened wide and gushed and all this time it must not be forgotten the Elsinore was dashing ahead through the sea the only sale she carried was three upper top sales not the tiniest triangle of head sail was on here I had never seen her with so little wind surface and the three narrow strips of canvas bellied to the seeminess of sheet iron with the pressure of the wind drove her before the Gale and astonishing speed as the water on the deck subsided the men on the five rail left their Refuge one group led by the redoubtable Mr Pike strove to capture a mass of planks and twisted steel for the moment I did not recognize what it was the carpenter with two men sprang upon number three hatch and worked hurriedly and fearfully and I knew why Captain West had turned tail to the storm number three hatch was a wreck among other things the great Timber called the strong back was broken he had had to run or found her before our decks were swept again I could Bank Out The Carpenter's emergency repairs with fresh Timbers he was Bolding lashing and wedging number three hatch into some sort of tightness when the Elson or Adept report rail under and scoop several hundred tons of South Atlantic and then immediately rolling their starboard rail under had another 100 tons of breaking sea Fallen board upon her all the men forsook everything and scrambled for life upon the pipe rail and the bursting spray they were quite hidden and then I saw them and counted them all as they emerged in the view again they waited for the water to subside the massive wreckage pursued by Mr Pike and his men ground a hundred feet along the deck forward and as the Elsinore Stern sank down in some Abyss ground back again and smashed up against the cabin wall I identified this stuff as part of the bridge that portion would spanned from the missing Mass to the midship house was missing while the starboard boats on the midship house was a splintered Mass watching the struggle to capture and subdue the section of bridge I was reminded of Victor Hugo Splendid description to the sailors battle with the ship's gun gun adrift in a night of storm but there was a difference I found that Hugo's narrative had stirred me more profoundly than was I stirred by this actual struggle before my eyes I have repeatedly said that the C makes one hard I now realized how hard I had become as I stood there on the break of the poop and my wind whipped spray-soaked pajamas I felt no solicitude for the Foxhole humans who struggled in Peril of their lives beneath me they did not count ah I was even curious to see what might happen did they get caught by those crashing Avalanches of sea there they could gain the safety of the Fife rail and I saw Mr Pike in the lead of course up to his waist in Rushing Water dashed in got the flying wreckage with a turn of rope and fetched it up short with a turnaround one of the port Mission shrouds they also are flung down to Fort and a solid wall of down toppling green uproared a dozen feet above the rail the men fled to the five rail but Mr Pike holding his turn held on looked squarely into the wall of the wave and received the downfall he emerged still holding by the turn the captured Bridge the feeble-minded Fawn the stone death man led the way to Mr Pike's assistance followed by Tony the suicidal Greek Patty was next and in order came shorty Henry the training ship boy and Nancy last of course and looking as if he were going to execution the deck water was no more than Knee Deep though rushing with torrential Force when Mr Pike and the six men lifted the section of bridge and started forward with it they swayed and staggered but managed to keep going the carpenter saw the impending ocean Mountain first I saw him cry to his own men and then to Mr Pike Airy fled to the five rail but Mr pikesman had no chance abreast of the midship house on the starboard side fully 15 feet above the rail and 20 above the deck the sea fell on board the top of the midship house was swept clean of the splintered boat the water impacting against the side of the house spouted Skyward as high as the crow Jack yard and all this in addition to the main bulk of the wave swept and descended upon Mr Pike and his men they disappeared the bridge disappeared they also know a rolled to port and dipped her Deck full from rail to rail next she plunged down by the head and all this mass of water surged forward through the creaming foaming surface now and then emerged in arm or a head or a back while cruel edges of jagged Plank and twisted steel rods advertised at the bridge was turning over and over I wondered what men were beneath it and what mauling they were receiving and yet these men did not count I was aware of anxiety only for Mr Pike he in a way socially was of my cast and class he and I belonged aft in the high place eight at the same table I was acutely desirous that he should not be hurt or killed the rest did not matter they were not of my world I imagine the old-time Skippers on the Middle Passage felt much the same toward their slave cargos in the feta tween decks the elsinore's bow tilted Skyward while her Stone fell into a foaming Valley not a man had gained his feet bridge and Men swept back toward me and fetched up against the missing shrouds and then that prodigious incredible old man appeared out of the water on his two legs upright dragging with him a man in each hand the helpless forms of Nancy and the fawn my heart left at beholding this Mighty figure of a man killer and slave driver it is true but who sprang first into the teeth of danger so that his slaves might follow and who emerged with a half-drawn swave in either hand I knew Augustus and pride as I gazed Pride that my eyes were blue like his that my skin was blonde like his that my place was afted with him and with the Samurai and the high places of government and command I nearly wept with the chill of Pride that was akin to awe and the tingled and bristled along my spinal column and in my brain as for the rest the weaklings and the rejected and the dark pigmented things the half casts the mongrel Bloods and the dregs of long conquered races how could they count my heels were ironed as I gazed upon them in their Peril and weakness lord lord for ten thousand generations and centuries we had stamped upon their faces and enslaved them to the toil of our will again the Elsinore rolled the starboard and the port of all the spumes sprouted to our lower yards and a thousand tons of South Atlantic surged across from rail to rail and again all were down and under with Jagged Plank and twisted Steel overriding them and again that amazing blonde skin giant emerged on his two legs upstanding a broken wave like a rat in either hand he forced his way through rushing waste high water deposited his burdens with the Carpenter on the five Rail and returned to drag Larry reeling to his feet and help him to the five rail out of the wash Tony the Greek crawled on hands and knees and sank down helplessly at the fight for help there was nothing suicidal now in his mood struggle as he would he could not lift himself until the mate gripping his oil skins at the collar with one hand flung him through the air into The Carpenter's arms next game shorty his face dreaming blood one hand hanging useless his sea boots stripped from him Mr Pike pitched him into the five Rail and returned for the last man it was Henry the training ship boy him I had seen unstruggling motionless show at the surface where I could drown to man and sink again as the flood surge staffed and smashed him against the cabin Mr Pike shouldered deep twice beaten to his knees and under by bursting Seas got the lad shouldered him and carried him away forward an hour later in the cabin I encountered Mr Pike going into breakfast he had changed his clothes and he had shaved now how could one treat a hero such as he save as I treated him when I remarked offhandedly that he must have had a lively watch my he answered equally offhandedly I did get a prime soaking that was all he had had no time to see me at the poop rail it was merely the day's work the ships worked the man's worked all capitals if you please in man I was the only one aft who knew and I knew because I had a chance to see had I not been on the proof at that early hour no one asked ever would have known those gray storm morning Deeds of his anybody hurt I asked oh some of the men got wet but no bones broke Henry will be laid off for a day he got turned over in a sea and bashed his head and Shorty's got a wrenched shoulder I think but say we got Davis into the top bunk the Seas filled him full and he had to climb for it he's all a wash and wet now and you ought to see me praying for more he paused inside I'm getting old I guess I oughta rang his neck but somehow I ain't got the gumption just the same he'll be oversized before we get in amongst wages against a pound of tobacco he want I challenged no said Mr Pike slowly but I'll tell you what I will do I'll bet you a pound of tobacco even or a month's wages even that I'll have the pleasure of putting the sack of call to his feet that never will come off done said I Dunn said Mr Pike and now I guess I'll get a bite to eat end of chapter 30. chapter 31 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore this Library Fox recording is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 31. the more I see of Miss West the more she pleases me explain it in terms of propinquity or isolation or whatever you will I at least do not attempt explanation I know only that she is a woman and desirable and I am rather proud in a way to find that I am just a man like any man the Midnight Oil and the Relentless Pursuit I have endured in the past from the whole tribe of women have not I am glad to say utterly spoiled me I am obsessed by that phrase a woman and desirable it beats in my brain and my thought I go out of my way to steal a glimpse of Miss West through a cabin door or Vista of Hope and she does not know I am licking a woman is a wonderful thing a woman's hair is wonderful a woman's softness is a magic oh I know them for what they are and yet this very knowledge makes them only the more wonderful I know I would stake my soul that Miss West is considered me as a maid a thousand times to once that I have so considered her and yet she is a woman and desirable and I find myself continually reminded of Richard Legoland's inimitable quatrain were I a woman I would all day long sing my own Beauty and some Holy song Bend low before it hushed and half afraid and say I am a woman all day long let me advise all philosophers suffering from World sickness to take a long sea Voyage with a woman like Miss West in this narrative I shall call her Miss West no more she has ceased to be Miss West she is Margaret I do not think of her as Miss West I think of her as Margaret it is a pretty word a woman word what poet must have created it Margaret I never Tire of it my tongue is enamored of it Margaret West what a name to conjure with a name provocative of dreams and mighty connotations the history of our Westward Ferry and race is written in it there is pride in it and dominion and adventure and Conquest when I murmur it I see visions of lean beaked ships of winged helmets and Hills iron shot of restless men Royal lovers royal adventures Royal Fighters yes and even now in these latter days when the sun consumes us still we sit in the highest of government and command oh and by the way she is 24 years old I asked Mr Pike the date of the dexiest collision with the river steamer in San Francisco Bay this occurred in 1901. Margaret was 12 years old at the time this is 1913. blessings on the head of the man who invented arithmetic she is 24. her name is Margaret and she is desirable there are so many things to tell about where and how this mad Voyage with the mad crew will end is beyond all surmise but the Elsinore drives on and day by day her history is bloodyly written and while murder is done and while the whole flooding drama moves toward the Bleak Southern Ocean and the icy blasts of Cape Horn I sit in the high place with the Masters unafraid I am proud to say and an ecstasy I am proud to say and I remember over and over to myself Margaret a woman Margaret and desirable but to resume it is the first day of June 10 days have passed since the pampero when the strong back on number three hatch was repaired Captain West came back on the Wind hoved to and rode out the Yale since then in calm and fog and damp and storm we have one South until today we're almost abreast of the Falklands the coast of the Argentine rise to the West below the sea lion and sometime this morning we cross the 50th parallel of south latitude here Begins the passage of Cape Horn for it is so reckoned by The Navigators 50 South in the Atlantic to 50 South in the Pacific and yet all is well with us in the matter of weather the Elsinore slides along with favoring winds daily it grows colder the great cabin stove Roars and is white hot and all the connecting doors are open so that the whole after region of the ship is warm and comfortable but on Deck the air bites and Margaret and I were mittens as we Promenade on the deck or go forward along the repaired bridge to see the chickens on the midship house the poor wretched creatures of instinct and climate behold as they approach the southern midwinter of the horn when they have need of all their feathers they proceed to molt because for sooth this is the summertime in the land they came from or as molting determined by the time of year they happen to be born I shall have to look into this Margaret will know yesterday ominous preparations were made for the passage of the horn all the braces were taken from the main deck pin rails and geared and arranged so that they may be worked from the tops of the houses thus the four braces run to the top of the Folk Soul the main braces to the top of the midship house and the missing braces to the poop it is evident that they expect our main deck frequently to be filled with water so evident is that the laden ship when in big Seasons like a logo wash that four and a half on both sides along the deck shoulder High lifelines have been rigged also the two iron doors on Fort and starboard that opened from the cabin directly upon the main deck have been barricaded and cocked not until we are in the Pacific and flying North will these doors open again and while we prepare to battle around the stormiest Headland in the world our situation on board grows darker this morning Petro Marinkovic a sailor in Mr mellair's watch was found dead on number one hatch the body bore several knife wounds and the throat was cut it was palpatibly done by one or several of the focusal hands but not a word can be elicited those who are guilty of it are silent of course While others who made chance to know are afraid to speak before midday the body was oversized with the customary sack of coal already the man is a past episode but the Humes forward are tense with expectancy of what is to come I strolled forward this afternoon and noted for the first time a distinct hostility toward me they recognized that I belonged with the aftergard in the high place oh nothing was said but it was patented by the way almost every man looked at me or refused to look at me only Mulligan Jacobs and Charles Davis were outspoken good riddance said Mulligan Jacobs the guinea didn't have the spunk of O house and he's better off 80. he lived dirty and he died dirty and now he's over and done with the whole dirty game there's men on board that ought to wish they was as lucky as him theirs is still a comment to them you mean I queried whatever you ought to think I mean the Twisted wretch grin malevolently into my face Charles Davis when I peeped into his Iron Room was exuberant a pretty tale for the court in Seattle he exalted it'll only make my case that much stronger and wait till the reporters get hold of it the hellship Elsinore they'll have pretty Pickens I haven't seen any hellship I said coldly you've seen my treatment ain't you he you've seen the hell I've got ain't you I know you for a cold-blooded murderer I answered the court will determine that sir all you'll have to do is Testify the facts I'll testify that had I been in the maid's place I'd have hanged you for murder his eyes positively sparkled I'll ask you to remember this conversation when you're under oath sir he cried eagerly I confess the man aroused in me a reluctant admiration I looked about his mean Iron wild room during the pompero the place had been Awash the white paint was peeling off in huge scabs and iron rust was everywhere the four was filthy the place stank with the stench of his sickness his panicking and unwashed eating gear from the last meal were scattered on the floor his blankets were wet his clothing was wet in a corner was a heterogeneous mass of soggy dirty garments he lay in the very bunk in which he had brained O'Sullivan he had been months in this vial hole in order to live he would have to remain once more in it and while his rat like Vitality won my admiration I loathed then detested him in very nausea aren't you afraid I demanded what makes you think you will ask the voyage don't you know that bats are being made that you won't so interested was he that he seemed to prick up his ears as he raised on his elbow I suppose you're too scared to tell me about them bats he sneered oh I bet you'll last I assured him that means there's others that bet I want he rattled on hastily and that means there's men aboard the Elsinore right now financially interested in my taking off at this moment the steward bound aft from The Galley paused in the doorway and listened grinning as for Charles Davis the man that missed his vocation he should have been a land lawyer not a sea liar very well sir he went on I'll have you testify to that in Seattle unless you're lying to a helpless sick man or unless you'll perjure yourself under oath he got what he was seeking for he stung me to retort oh I'll testify though I tell you candidly that I don't think I'll win my bet you losing better the steward broke in nodding his head that fellow him die damn soon bet with him sir Davis challenged me it's a straight tip for me in a regular cinch the whole situation was so gruesome and grotesque and I had been swept into it so absurdly that for the moment I did not know what to do or say it's good money Davis urged I ain't going to die look here Stuart how much you want to bet five dollar ten dollar twenty dollar the steward answered with the shoulders Shrugged that meant that the sun was immaterial very well then Stuart Mr Panthers covers your money say for 20. is it a go sir why don't you bet with him yourself I demanded sure I will sir here you Steward I bet you 20 even I don't die the steward shook his head I bet you 20 to 10 the sick man insisted what's eating you anyway you live me lose me pay you the steward explained you die I win you dead no pay me still grinning and shaking his head he went his way just the same sir it'll be rich testimony Davis chuckled and can't you see the reporters eating it up the Asiatic click in the cooks room has its suspicions about the death of Marin kovich but will not voice them Beyond shakings of heads and dark mutterings I can get nothing out of water or the steward when I talked with the sail maker he complained that his injured hand was hurting him and that he would be glad when he could get to the surgeons in Seattle as for the murder when pressed by me he gave me to understand that it was no Affair of the Japanese or Chinese on board and that he was a Japanese but Lewis the Chinese half cast with the Oxford accent was more Frank I caught him aft from The Galley on the trip to the lazarette for provisions we are of A different race sir from these men he said in our safest policy is to leave them alone we have talked it over and we have nothing to say Sir nothing whatever to say consider my position I work forward in the galley I am in constant contact with the sailors I even sweep in their section of the ship and I am one man against many the only other countrymen I have on board is the steward and he sleeps aft your servant and the two sail makers are Japanese they're only remotely kin to us though we've agreed to stand together and apart from whatever happens there is shorty I said remembering Mr Pike's diagnosis of his mixed nationality but we do not recognize him sir we must answered suavely he is Portuguese he is melee he is Japanese true but he is a mongrel sir a mongrel and a bastard also he is a fool and please sir remember that we are very few and that our position compels us to neutrality but your outlook is gloomy I persisted how do you think it will end we shall arrive in Seattle most probably some of us but I can tell you this sir I have lived a long life on the sea but I have never seen a crew like this there are a few Sailors in it there are bad men in it and the rest are fools and worse you will notice I mentioned no name sir but there are men on board whom I do not care to antagonize I am just Lewis the cook I do my work to the best of my ability and that is all sir and will Charles Davis arrive in Seattle I asked changing the topic and acknowledgment of his right to be reticent no I do not think so sir he answered although his eyes thanked me for my courtesy the steward tells me you have bet that he will I think sir it is a poor bet we are about to go around the horn I have been around it many times this is midwinter and we are going from east to west Davis's room will be Awash for weeks it will never be dry a strong healthy man can find and it could well die of the hardship and Davis is far from well in short sir I know his condition and he is in a shocking State surgeons might for a long his life but here in a Windjammer it is shortened very rapidly I have seen many men die at sea I know sir thank you sir and the Eurasian Chinese Englishman bowed himself away end of chapter 31. chapter 32 of the Mutiny of the Elsinore this Library box recording is in the public domain the Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London chapter 32. things are worse than I fancied here are two episodes within the last 72 hours Mr melaire for instance is going to Pieces he cannot stand the strain of being on the same vessel with the man who has sworn to avenge Captain Somers murder especially when that man is the redoubtable Mr Pike for several days Margaret and I have been remarking the second mates bloodshot eyes and pain-lined face and wondering if he were sick and today the secret leaked out what it is not like Mr malware and this morning when he brought me breakfast I saw by the wicked gleeful gleam and his almond eyes that he was spilling over with some fresh delectable ships gossip for several days I learned he and the steward have been solving the cabin mystery a gallon can of wood alcohol standing on the Shelf in the after room had lost quite a portion of its contents they compared notes and then made to themselves the Sherlock Holmes and a Dr Watson first they gauged the daily diminution of alcohol next they gauged it several times daily and learned that the demunition whenever it occurred was first apparent immediately after meal time this focused their attention on two suspects the second mate and the carpenter who alone sat in the after room the rest was easy whenever Mr Miller arrived ahead of the carpenter more alcohol was missing when they arrived and departed together the alcohol was undisturbed the carpenter was never alone in the room the syllogism was complete and now the steward stores the alcohol under his bunk but wood alcohol is deadly poisoned what a constitution this man of 50 must have Small Wonder as eyes have been bloodshot the great wonder is that the stuff did not destroy him I have not whispered a word of this to Margaret nor shall I whisper it I should like to put Mr Pike on his guard and yet I know that the revealing of Mr malware's identity would precipitate another killing and still we Drive South close hauled on the Wind toward the inhospitable tip of the continent today we are south of a line drawn between the Straits of Magellan and the Falklands and tomorrow if the breeze holds we shall pick up the coast of Terra del Fuego close to the entrance of The Straits of lemare through which Captain West intends to pass if they win favors the other episode occurred last night Mr Pike says nothing yet he knows the crew situation I have been watching some time now ever since the death of marinkovich and I am certain that Mr Pike never Ventures on the main deck after dark yet he holds his tongue confides in no man and plays out the bitter perilous game as a commonplace matter of course and all in the day's work and now to the episode shortly after the close of the second dog watch last evening I went forward to the chickens on the midship house on an errand for Margaret I was to make sure that the steward had carried out her orders the canvas covering to the big chicken coop had to be down the ventilation insured and the kerosene stove burning properly when I had proved to my satisfaction the dependableness of the steward and just as I was on the verge of returning to the poop I was drawn the side by the weird crying of penguins and the Darkness and by the unmistakable noise of a whale blowing not far away I had climbed around the end of the fort boat and was standing there quite hidden in the darkness when I heard the unmistakable age-lag step of the mate proceeded along the bridge from the poop it was a dim Starry Night and the Elsinore in the calm ocean under the Lee of Tierra del Fuego was slipping gently and prettily through the water at an eight knot clip Mr Pike paused at the forward end of the Housetop and stood in a listening attitude from the main deck Below near number two hatch across the mumbling of various voices I could recognize kid twist nosy Murphy and Bert Ryan the three gangsters but Steve Robert the cowboy was also there as was Mr malware both of whom belonged in the other watch and should have been turned in for at midnight it would be their watch on Deck especially wrong was Mr Miller's presence holding social converse with members of the crew a breach of ship ethics most Grievous I have always been cursed with curiosity always have I wanted to know and on the Elsinore I have already witnessed many a little scene that was a clear-cut dramatic gem so I did not discover myself but worked behind the boat five minutes passed ten minutes passed the men still talked I was tantalized by the crying of the Penguins and by the whale evidently playful which came so close that it spouted and splashed a biscuit toss away I saw Mr Pike's head turned at the sound he glanced squarely in my direction but did not see me then he returned to listening to the mama of voices from beneath now whether Mulligan Jacobs just happened along or whether he was deliberately scouting I do not know I tell what occurred up and down the side of the midship house is a ladder and up this ladder Mulligan Jacobs climbed so noiselessly that I was not aware of his presence until I heard Mr Pike snarl what the hell you doing here then I saw Mulligan Jacobs in the Gloom within two yards of the mate what's it to you Morgan Jacob snarled back the voices below hushed I knew every man stood there tents and listening no the philosophers have not yet explained Mulligan Jacobs there is something more to him than the last word has said in any book he stood there in the darkness a fragile creature with curvature of the spine facing alone the first mate and he was not afraid Mr Pike cursed him with fearful unrepeatable words and again demanded what he was doing there I left me plug a tobacco here when I was coiling down last said the little twisted man no he did not say it he spat it out like so much venom get off of here or I'll throw you off you and your tobacco raged the mate Morgan Jacobs or closer to Mr Pike and then the gloom and with the row of the ship swayed in the other's face by God Jacobs was all all the mate could say you old Steph was all the terrible little could retort Mr Pike grips him by the collar and swung him in the air are you going down or am I going to throw you down the mate demanded I cannot describe their matter of utterance it was that of wild beasts I ain't ate out of your hand yet have I was the reply Mr Pike tried to say something still holding the suspended but he could do no more than strangle and this impotence of Rage you're an old stiff an old stiff an old stiff Morgan Jacobs chanted equally incoherent in unimaginative with British Fury say it again and over you go the mate managed to enunciate thickly you're an old Steph Gast Mulligan Jacobs he was flung he soared through the air with the might of the fling and even as he soared and fell through the darkness he reiterated old Steph old Steph he fell among the men on number two hatch and there were confusion and movement below and groans Mr Pike paced up and down the narrow house and gridded his teeth then he paused he leaned his arms on the bridge rail rested his head on his arms for a full minute then groaned oh dear oh dear oh dear oh dear that was all then he went aft slowly dragging his feet along the bridge end of

warmth and each noon had Meridian it is lower in the northern sky all the old stars have long since gone and it would seem the sun is following them the world the only world I know has been left far behind there to the North and the hill of the earth is between it and us this sad in solitary ocean gray and cold is the end of all things the falling off place where all things cease only it grows colder and grayer and Penguins cry in the night and huge amphibians moan and slobber and great albatrosses gray with storm battling of the horn wheel and veer Land Ho was the cry yesterday morning I shivered as I gazed at this the first glance since Baltimore a few centuries ago there was no sun and the morning was damp and cold with a Brisk wind that penetrated Any Garment the deck thermometer marked a 30 Fahrenheit 2 degrees below freezing point and now and then easy squalls of snow swept past all of the land that was to be seen was snow long long chains of Peaks snow covered arose out of the ocean as we drew closer there were no signs of life it was a sheer Savage Bleak forsaken land by 11 off the entrance of The lemere Straits the squalls ceased the wind studied and the tide began to make through in the direction we desired to go Captain West did not hesitate his orders to Mr Pike were quick and tranquil the man at the wheel aldered the course while both watches sprang The Loft to shake out Royals and Sky sails and yet Captain West knew every inch of the risk he took in this graveyard of ships when we entered the narrow strait under Full Sail and gripped by a tremendous tide the rugged Headlands of Tierra del Fuego dashed by with dizzy and swiftness close we were to them and close we were to the jagged ghost of Staten Island on the opposite Shore it was here in a wild bite between two black and precipitous walls of rock where even the snow could find no lodgement that Captain West paused in a casual sweep of his glasses and gazed steadily at one place I picked the spot up with my own glasses and was aware of an instant Joe as I saw the four masts of a great ship sticking out of the water whatever craft it was it was as large as the Elsinore and it had been but recently wrecked one of the German nitrate ships said Mr Pike Captain West nodded still studying the wreck then said she looks quite deserted just the same Mr Pikes and Servo of your best-sided Sailors Aloft and keep a good look at yourself there may be some survivors as sure trying to Signal us but we sailed on and no signals were seen Mr Pike was delighted with her good fortune he was guilty of walking up and down rubbing his hands and juggling to himself not since 1888 he told me had he been through the Straits of Lamar also he said that he knew of ship Masters who had made 40 voyages around the horn and had never once had the luck to win through the Straits the regular passage is far to the east around Staten Island which means the loss of Westing and here at the tip of the world where the Great West Wind unobstructed by any land sweeps round and around the narrow girth of the earth Westing is the thing that has to be fought for mile by mile an inch by inch the sailing directions advised Masters on the horn passage make Westing whatever you do make Westing when we emerged from The Straits in the early afternoon the same steady Breeze continued and in the calm water under the Lee of Tierra del Fuego which extends southwesternly to the horn we slipped along at an eight knot clip Mr Pike was beside himself he could scarcely tear himself from the deck when it was his watch below he chuckled rubbed his hands and incessantly hummed snatches from the 12th Mass also he was valuable tomorrow morning we'll be up with a horn we'll shave it by a dozen or 15 miles think of it we'll just steal around I never had such luck and never expected to old girl Elsinore you're rotten Ford but the hand of God is at your helm once under the weather cloth I Came Upon him talking to himself it was more a prayer if only she don't pipe up he kept repeating if only she don't pipe up Mr Miller was quite different it never happens he told me no ship ever went around like this you watch her come she always comes to smoking out of the Southwest but Canada vessel ever steal around I asked the odds are Mighty big against it sir he answered I'll give you a line on them I'll wait you're even sir just a nominal bed of a pound of tobacco that inside 24 hours will be hoved to under upper top sales I'll wage are 10 pounds to five that were not west of the horn a week from now and 50 to 50 being the passage 20 pounds to five to two weeks from now we're not up with 50 in the Pacific as for Captain West The Perils of Lamar behind he sat below his leopard feet stretched before him smoking a cigar he had nothing to say whatever although Margaret and I were jubilant and their Duets through all of the second dog watch and this morning in a smooth sea and gentle breeze the horn bore almost due north of us not more than six miles away here we were well abreast and reeling northwesting what fresh tobacco this morning I quizzed Mr malware going up he came back wish I had a thousand beds like the one with you sir I glanced about at sea and sky engaged the speed of our way by the foam but failed to see anything that warranted his remark it was surely fine weather and the Stuart and token of the same was trying to catch fluttering Cape pigeons with a bent pin on a piece of thread forward on the poop I encountered Mr Pike it was an encounter for his salutation was a grunt well we're going right along I ventured generally he made no reply but turned and stared into the gray Southwest with an expression sour than any I had ever seen on his face he mumbled something I failed to catch and on my asking him to repeat it he said it's breeding weather can't you see it I shook my head what do you think were taking off the kites for he growled I looked Aloft the sky sails were already furled men were feraling the Royals and the two Gallant yards were running down while clue lines and button lines bagged the canvas yet if anything are Northerly Breeze fanned even more gently bless me if I can see any weather I said then go and take a look at the barometer he grunted as he turned on his heel and swung away from me and the chart room was Captain West pulling on his long sea boots that would have told me had there been no barometer though the barometer was eloquent enough of itself the night before it had stood at 30.10 it was now 28.64 even in the pemfaro had it not been so low as that the usual gay porn program Captain West smiled to me as he stood up in all his leaned and surrender gracefulness and reached for his long oil skin coat still I could scarcely believe is it very far away I inquired he shook his head and for more in the act of speaking to lift his hand for me to listen they also know a role done easily and from without came the soft and Hollow Thunder of sails emptying themselves against the masts and gear we had chatted to Bear five minutes when again he lifted his head this time the Elsinore healed over slightly and remained healed over while the sign whistle of a rising Breeze awoke in the rigging it's beginning to make he said in the good old Anglo-Saxon of the sea and then I heard Mr Pike's gnarling out orders and in my heart discovered a growing respect for Cape Horn Cape stiff as the sailors call it an hour later we were hoved to on the port Attack under upper top sales and for sale the wind had come out of the Southwest and our leeway was setting us down upon the land Captain West gave orders to the mate to stand by to worship both watches had been taken in sale so that both watches were on deck for the maneuver it was astounding the big sea that had Arisen in so short of time the wind was blowing a gale that ever and recurring gusts increased upon itself nothing was visible 100 yards away the day had become black gray and the cabin lamps were burning the view from the poop along the deck of the great laboring ship was magnificent Seas burst and surged across their weather Rail and kept her deck half-filled despite the spouting ports and gushing scuffers on each of the two houses and on the poop the ship's compliments all in oil skins was in groups Ford Mr Miller had charge Mr Pike took charge of the midship house and the poop Captain West strolled up and down saw everything said nothing for it was the mates affair when Mr Pike ordered the wheel hard up he slacked off all the missing yards and followed it with the partial slacking of the main yards so that the after pressures were eased the for sale and for lower and upper top sale remained flat in order to pay the head off before the wind all this took time the men were slow not strong and without snap they reminded me of Dole oxen by the way they moved and pulled and the Gale ever snorting harder now snorted diabolically only at intervals could ice Glimpse the group on top of the forward house again and again leaning to it and holding their heads down the men on the midship house were obliterated by the drive of crested seas that burst across the rail spouted to the lower yards and swept in horizontal volumes across the leeward and Mr Pike like an enormous spider in a wind tossed web went back and forth along the Slender bridge that was itself a shaken thread and the blast of the storm so tremendous were the guests that for the time the elstonar refused to answer she laid down to it she was swept and wrecked by it but her head did not pay off before it and all the while we drove down upon that bitter iron Coast and the world was black gray and violent and very cold with a flying spray freezing to ice in every lodgement we waited the groups of men head down to it waited Mr Pike Restless angry his blue eyes is better as the cold his mouth as much as gnarl as the snarl of the elements with which he fought waited the samurai waited tranquil casual remote and Cape Horn waited there on our Lee for the bones of our ship and us and then the elsinore's bow paid off the angle of the bead of the Gale changed and soon with Dreadful speed we were dashing straight before it and straight toward the Rocks we could not see but all doubt was over the success of the maneuver was assured Mr Miller informed by messenger along the bridge from Mr Pike slacked off the head yards Mr Pike his eye on the Helmsman his hand signaling the orders had the wheel put over to port to check the elsinore's Russian to the wind as she came up on the starboard tack all this activity Main and Mission yards were braced up in the Elsinore snugged down and hoved to Hadley of thousands of miles of Southern Ocean and all this had been accomplished in the stamping grounds of storm at the End of the World by a handful of wretched weaklings under the drive of two strong mates with behind them the Placid well of the Samurai it had taken 30 minutes to wear a ship and I had learned how the best of ship Masters can lose their ships without reproach suppose the Elsinore had persisted in her refusal to pay off suppose anything had carried away and right here enters Mr Pike it is his task ever to see that every rope and block and all the Myriad other things in the vast and complicated year of the Elsinore iron strength not to carry away always have the masters of our race required henchmen like Mr Pike and it seems the race has well supplied those henchmen air I went below I heard Captain West tell Mr Pike that while both watches were on Deck it would be just as well to put a reef in the for sale before they furled it the Mainsail and the crow Jack being off I could see the men black on the four yard for half an hour I lingered watching them they seemed to make no progress with the reef Mr Miller was with them having direct supervision of the job well Mr Pike on the poop growled and grumbled and spat endless blasphemies into the flying air what's the matter I asked two watches on a single yard arm an unabled foot of reef and a handkerchief like that he snorted what'll it be when we're off here a month a month I cried a month isn't anything for Cape stiff he said grimly I've been off here seven weeks and then turned tail and run around the other way around the world I guess it was the only way to get to Frisco he answered the horns the horn and there's no summer seeds that I've ever noticed in this neighborhood my fingers were numb and I was chilled through when I took a last look at The Wretched men on the four yard and went below to warm up a little later as I went into table through a cabin Port I stole a look forward between seas and saw the men still struggling on the freezing yard the four of us were a table and it was very comfortable in spite of the elsinore's violent Antics the room was warm the storm racks on the table kept each dish in its place the steward served and moved about with ease and apparent unconcerned although I noticed an occasional anxious gleam in his eyes when he poised some dish at a moment when the chip pitched and flung with unusual wildness and now and again I thought of the poor Devils on the yard well they belonged there by right just as we belonged here by right in this Oasis of the cabin I looked at Mr Pike and waged you to myself that half a dozen like him good master that stubborn for sale as for the samurai I was convinced that alone without moving from a seat by a tranquil exertion of will he could accomplish the same thing the lighted sea lamps swung and leaped in their gimbals ever battling with the dancing shadows in the murky gray the woodwork creaked and groaned the mask a huge cylinder of hollow steel that perforated the apartment through deck above and floor beneath was hideously vocal with the storm far above taught ropes beat against it so that it clanged like a boiler shop there was a Perpetual Thunder of seas falling on our deck and crash of water against our forward wall while the ten thousand ropes and gears Aloft bellowed and screamed as the storm smote them and yet all this was from without here at this well-appointed table was no draft or breath of wind no Drive of spray nor wash of sea we were in the heart of Peace in the midmost center of the storm Margaret was in High Spirits and her laughter vied with the clang of the mask Mr Pike was gloomy but I knew him well enough to attribute his Gloom not to the elements but to the inefficients feudally freezing on the yard as for me I looked about at the four of us blue-eyed gray eyed all fair-skinned and Royal blonde and somehow it seemed that I had long since lived this and that with me and in me were all my ancestors and at their lives and memories were mine and that all this vexation of the sea and air and laboring ship was of old time and a thousand times before end of chapter 33.

Aisha Chaudhary: Singing in the life boat
(Applause) My name is Aisha Chaudhary and I'm 15 years old. I was born with an immune deficiency, with a life expectancy of only one year. I had to undergo a bone marrow transplant at the age of six months. Recently I've developed a serious illness called Pulmonary Fibrosis - a hardening of the lung, as a side-effect of the transplant. And due to my illness, my life has been full of challenges. And I've often felt like I'm in the middle of a shipwreck. And today I'd like to share with you, Five important lessons I have learnt through the ups and downs of my journey. The first lesson, is to Believe In Miracles. Miracles are good things that are unlikely to happen. The chance was one in a million that I would be born immune deficient. And I was. But then, a miracle occurred. Where there was only 30% chance that I would survive the bone marrow transplant. And I did. But then, there was less than 10% chance that I would develop lung issues post the transplant. And I did. And now there's only a 40% chance that my lungs can be cured. And I believe that they can be. Because I believe in miracles. (Applause) The second lesson I learnt, was- You should always live in the moment. This is a picture of me, about six months ago. You can see that I had an oxygen tube in my nose. Despite it all, I have a huge smile on my face. All because I'm holding my new puppy, Rolo. Each moment I spent cuddling with him, I'd be bursting with joy. And all the pain and the sadness that seemed so overpowering, in that one moment just seemed to melt away. If you look at your whole life ahead of you, You will find endless problems that you eventually have to face But if you start to look at life day by day , hour by hour or even moment by moment, you will find that your happiness will just begin to multiply. When I was just stuck in bed, unable to move, or even go to school, I thought hard about the things that I was able to do. I could sit and I could put a smile on my face. I wanted to model. I wanted to see what it was all about, to have my pictures somewhere out there. You can see in this picture, I'm all dressed up -- ready for a photo shoot. Even though I'm sitting on that wheelchair and inhaling oxygen. As I sat there and I posed for the camera, it made me forget about all the things that I was incapable of. It was a fun thing for me to do. And it was great to see what goes on in a photo shoot. What I've learnt is that you should do what you can. Instead of feeling bad about the things that you're unable to do. The third lesson I've learnt is that in every difficulty, one can always find an opportunity. For the past few years, I haven't been able to attend school regularly like the rest of my friends. And this year, I'm taking math and art as subjects, leaving me with a lot of free time. But in this difficult time, I have managed to find the opportunity to pursue my passion for art. In fact, I found that I've sketched and painted more during my illness as compared to the time when I was well. On this slide are two pieces that I've done recently. Here's a portrait of a baby. Done with dry pastels. It's actually from a photo I took myself at a family gathering. On the right, is a piece I have done for the album art for the music that my brother has composed. And his song is called, 'Drowsy Elephants'. The fourth lesson I learnt, was - Never forget to dream. This is a picture of me in my wheel chair, back when I couldn't even walk two steps. Each night, I would dream. I would visualise what may seem like the smallest of things. I'd imagine myself walking around the market, in London with my friend. I'd dream of dancing endlessly at my cousin's wedding. I'd visualise things down to every little detail. The colour of my outfit, which song I'd dance to, The setting of the stage, and my family celebrating. I dreamt of running around the garden with my two dogs. I wished that I'd get out of that wheel chair, and actually walk to my bathroom. I'd play a movie in my mind of all the things, that seemed completely impossible, in that one moment. And guess what? I did walk around the market in London with my friend. And I did dance at my cousin's wedding. And I did get out of that wheel chair. And now I get to stand here and talk to you ! The power of the mind is limitless. Remember, that all things happen twice. Once, in your mind, and once, in reality. (Applause) Finally, the last lesson I learnt, was that - If everything else seems to fail, Get a dog. Pets are truly the best medicine. They are known to be extremely therapeutic. I found that Koby, the labrador, was extremely empathetic towards my situation. Back in January when I was unable to walk, Koby himself became very unwell. His legs trembled, and he couldn't walk. I felt that he was mirroring what I had been going through. I was devastated to see him in this way, and I thought something terrible would happen to him. I pleaded with Koby to walk. And I told him that if he did, then I would try and walk a few steps as well. And by the next day, Koby was up and about, running around me happily. And I was so delighted to see him like this. Because in my heart, I knew, that I would get better, just as he did, some day. So as we now know, there's always something in life to sing about. Something to be grateful for. I am grateful for my loving family, my friends, my dogs. In fact, I am even grateful for the challenges that life has thrown at me, for which I have experienced life with a much greater intensity than I would have otherwise. And I do believe, that my soul would have no rainbow if my eyes had no tears. Thank you for listening. (Applause)

MSG Plays Transformers FoC: Perfection is Overrated
all right people here we go um talk more about anime and what me playing Transformers oh great I hate this map it's so enclosed wait what it's sewn closed like the ins oh enclosed I said I I heard a g in there anyway yeah okay back to what Jan was discussing about and I I I after this I feel like my opinion what kind of changed with when it comes to anime at least to feeling indifferent to feeling hatred which one's the the best out of the two right and I kind of my original thing was between indifferent and yeah and anger okay you came from it came from originally from Mass Effect I can hear you really yeah it came from if you guys don't know Mass Effect one the first game what's massive what it's a space game yeah a Sci-Fi space game really good game at one point Mario in it at one point in the in the game you have two of your teammates and you have to leave one to die okay and they're gonna be dead throughout the whole game right even oh man rough start it built the conversation to add that and pretty much and one was a yeah and basically yeah my and I chose one person one person was a guy named Caden and he just bored me it wasn't interesting at all he was just a boring character the other character was Ashley I'm assuming you hate you hate it I wouldn't say hate but you I don't like that much oh well that one's a little different yeah because the the intensity of your your dislike is slightly different I I didn't like her because she was kind of racist towards the aliens my alien crew okay yeah so in deciding I chose Ashley because at least with her it invoke some kind of emotion with Kaden I was just bored with I wouldn't want him in my team because you know if you're gonna be your teammate he's gonna be your ally but he was just boring to me his story was boring they have their own separate stories but he was just like a guy who I really did not care about so that's why I kind of went for Ashley yeah because that's where my original hate hate versus indifferent okay came from and if I were to elaborate on this uh this just for one this conversation what has made me realize holy [ __ ] I think it just comes down to how you approach entertainment are you the type of person who just like it's all about just what I like and dislike because if it's that just that you're right that's you're right why should you throw but if we're if we're going from a reviewer point of view which we are by definition we have our main Channel media Shinobi no Shameless plug-in by the way to understand that this also this video will serve for other people that they're gonna have to we're gonna have to be as objective as possible so that they could get something away from this video they're like oh they didn't like it but they did say it's more for me wow they were really right see that that's the whole point and that's what in my opinion makes a good anime because just because I didn't like it doesn't because it's like one of those situations where you're in the majority versus the minority right just because you're in a minority doesn't mean you're wrong right and just because you're in the majority it doesn't mean you're wrong I like how I feel about yeah like personally um I think it it boils down to what I I said earlier it's just like in terms of like and dislike you have every right to say that but um remember that the intentions of Cowboy Bebop technically was to be episodic yeah so so long as you acknowledge that yeah I didn't expect that oh well going in I didn't expect it just to give you guys a heads up for anyone who doesn't watch as much anime collectively as a group um space westerns tend to be episode right they very episodic especially if it has the word Western episodic the reason why is because Western enemies don't have an overarching plot it's emotional time I mean there is somewhere there but barely it's always about westerns are always about the journey it's like the Chuck Norris TV shows back in the old days it was always episodeing it was all of just about like what happened in that one episode in that one episode of Love so I understand where Chris's coming point of view like I get it if we're talking about anime like dislike he got it down you got it down but um I'm trying to say like the the argument I was saying earlier was more on the fact of what makes it good now obviously at the end of the day we're all subjective right there is no such thing as pure objectiveness like no matter how much like reviewers or those I have high officials claim for this to be you know critically acclaimed it's subjective yeah you son of a [ __ ] but the purpose of what they're trying to do is to be at least subjective as possible and that's what we strive it's one of those things it's like there's a metaphor in the I'm so sorry I had an epiphany and that's my metaphor but um there's a metaphor in the science field where there are there are a few scientists I think actually bleach mentioned this in one of the uh the anime episodes I'm not too sure or maybe the manga but scientists don't want to achieve perfection to say like like I since I'm on my break whenever but okay I'm sorry people that was a phone call but continue hold on but uh what oh God what was I subjective a little bit further than that oh there was an analogy scientists there are a few scientists who are super ambitious and who truly love what they do that they don't want professionally they don't want protective because their job is ended right right I see where they're going with that so they don't want to reach absolute perfection they because that there's nowhere to go there's no more gold there's no more it life is meaningless now you have the answer you're done yeah so to correlate that back to anime if it was all objective there's no point anymore that's not entertainment so that's why there has to be there's this this very fine but almost we don't know where to draw the line of what is the perfect balance wow that is unfair the team sucks I was wondering why am I keep dying sorry for interrupting yeah three no for real I'm number one okay I'm sorry people but my team sucks sorry to interrupt me but no I'm baffled just so I'm thankful too but uh oh yeah there's like this fine line that we just don't know where to draw in terms of the balance between objective and subject yeah it's really hard especially for reviewers because for us right now if I were to describe how I see us right now you versus me you're more subjective for the right reasons versus me being more objective for the right reasons as well so in a sense it's great that we are a group Channel because it gives a good balance while Scott is like almost he's the indifference and he calls it how it is you'll like it or dislike it right that's that's about it so we all are different on how we approach things and I think that's what I like about media yeah group because there is a lot of variety in how we feel because if we can't find a fine line we'll just do it by numbers and we have three people with completely different points of views coming together and talking about anime well whatever it is that we're doing whether it's movies television shows again no Shameless plugin but uh yeah that's why it's like it's really it's all subjective at the end it just really is but yeah going back to the original original one where what was the original we're so deep and yeah I don't remember yeah and again I feel like my indifference came from the came to me recently where some frustration and exhaustion yes because I just became indifferent just because it just like it just happened it just happened it just happened like it was it was basically the Toby one that was literally the last chapter where when he showed Eve actually Toby like the without spoiling well I'm not gonna say who Toby is everyone should know who Toby is the episode came out some people yeah well people who only watch the English dub yeah but like oh you are in for a surprise but no like it's Obito there did it okay okay that just happened okay but for the most points point after that I just I think I I didn't break but something happened yes something happened was it because the obedo being no it was just like really really because no lie we all did and eventually one point considered yes but we were all we all we all agree right we all too easy it was too easy that's too convenient yeah like and anyone who says it's because of the hair you know what whatever and I feel like it could have been better if I liked Vince's Theory better what was the theory something about it's the Sun the first son of a sage or something like that yeah I thought that was way more complicated I've seen some really good theories out there and I was like come on no I feel like the execution was also not good oh I don't know so it's been a while since basically um his most always considered to be Rin like that's kind of the reason why I'm doing this and they Kishi I do not know why but get over here he plays it off as comedian when the romance when they were still young oh yeah yeah and I told this Jack to Jan that was a comedian I never thought any of the romance funny when it comes to obedient it was borderline if not obsession

wicked place and you know what when your heart is not in the right place that means that you just miserable from the inside to the out so here it is i pulled up in circle k you know it's a gas station and it's a little store because i wanted to get something okay um when i pulled up there was this young man and you could tell he was on drugs he wasn't asking nobody for nothing he wasn't he didn't have no sign up he wasn't panhandling like the man in the store said he wasn't doing none of that but he was a young kid and he was he looked like he was hungry and he was dirty and he needed some type of help you know what i'm saying i don't go around and tell nobody that i help anybody because that's not what you do like i don't give a damn if i help people i give people a dollar all day long it's not something that you brag about but i'm so sick and tired of people out in this world so i when i seen the young man i approached him because i was on my way into the store and he was standing by the store on his bike okay and you could tell that he was you know that he needed help let me tell y'all i walked up to the young man i was like hey you hungry and he was like yes ma'am yes ma'am i was like is there anything specific you want from the store and he was like anything you could give me so you know i'm saying inside the store in circle okay they have like these burgers they're two for five you can get a burger you can get a sausage egg and cheese you know what i'm saying so i got them two of those and i got them a couple of donuts now they come cold but there's a microwave in there too now when i pay for my stuff i asked the young man at the register you know what i'm saying um i asked him is it is there a microwave in here so the young man could come and eat his food up and he was like um what young guy the guy side with the rip shirt on i was like i don't know if his shirt is ripped but why and so his co-worker she comes around the corner she was like well there's there's an old guy out there and he's got a ripped shirt on and he's been begging and panhandling i said first of all he ain't been begging and he'd been panhandling this young man ain't got no ripped shirt on because i remember he had on a hoodie i said he ain't asked nobody for nothing okay i approached him and asked him did he want something to eat why are you asking me about the other man and she was like because all he does is sit here i said well listen i'm asking you is it all right for him to come in and warm up the food that i just purchased and so the guy who was ringing me up this fool he was like well our store policy is no panhandling i said first of all i don't care about your store policy okay because i just told you that he didn't panhandle and he didn't ask me for anything i said however it's sad in this world that you as a human being would not even dare try to look out for another human being if they were hungry how about if you was homeless and you needed some type of help wouldn't you like it ma'am i'm not going to argue with you but you could just get out the store i said first of all i'm not getting out the store until i'm finished he said well when you're done with your purchase i'm gonna need you to leave i said what i said what makes you think that i would want to stay in the [ __ ] store and hang out with your ass and so he was like ma'am just leave i said i'm gonna leave when i'm good damn and ready to after i heat this food up so he was like because at that point i was like you know what i'ma go in there and heat it up myself for him because it seems like y'all don't give this young man a problem so he was like i said where's the microwave because i knew where it was i knew it was over there in that area somewhere where the kofu was that he was like ma'am just leave just leave me i'm calling the cops i said go ahead and call the goddamn cops i said you think i give a damn about a police officer i said let me tell you something i just paid for my purchase and i do [ __ ] in here but ask you can he use the microwave and you started getting in your damn feelings now you think that i'm gonna leave because you told me to leave and because you said you're gonna call the damn cops i said i don't care about the police call them okay he just pissed me way off just now i'm not about to let him steal my vibe but you know what that was the devil right there because first of all you don't treat people like that second of all you ain't about to talk to me any old type of way because i'm not going for it or no giving [ __ ] day i don't give a damn who you are and as far as the police are concerned a [ __ ] i don't give a [ __ ] about them neither what you gonna call the police and tell them that i asked you a question and i'm heating up the food that i purchased i didn't threaten you i didn't do anything but here we go at the end of the conversation when i when i was done and i was like now i'm a elite don't come back and hear me ask that man i'll be in here tomorrow how about that okay how about that sorry guys the woosa on that but you know what it's just sad and it's pathetic that people don't want to help one another and like you got me i think you're gonna talk to me and you'll kind of wait and threaten me with the goddamn police like i'll give two rats asked about some police what you gonna tell them oh what you what you really gonna tell them black lady arguing in here with my wife like come on man and then on top of that with the stuff that i'm asking you for behind the counter you ain't even getting that [ __ ] proper man do you need the job do you want the job okay because i'm pretty sure this young man outside could use a job you see what i'm saying people people be having you messed up please don't have me effed up okay because i might look nice in the face you know what i'm saying you might think that i'm older than you or out of respect but let me tell you something i will tell you a new [ __ ] if you follow me the wrong way i promise you you feel like you can make me mad or you can upset me by telling me like to get out the store like why would i want to stay at the store after i finish my purchase like what sense does that mean when you're done when when you're done just leave like that's why i was like yeah exactly because why would i want to hang out with you he got mad because i asked him a question and because i didn't want to comply with their store policy your store policy don't apply to me okay this is what people don't understand what your store has as it applies a policy of panhandlers don't apply to me okay that's one thing that it does not apply to me i don't care about your store's policy about people asking for spare change or for food or panhandling that's not my concern i don't work for circle k i don't give two f's about circle gay and if i want to ask somebody if they want something to eat then that's what i'm gonna do see all the young man at the register needed to do was answer my question you answered my question with a question and so now i won't answer you with a question but you know me being me i knew that they was going to have an issue with the young man coming in and eating up his food because of the way they was treating me you know what i'm saying so i went and did it but when i went and did it he had the audacity to say i'm calling the police on you ma'am i'm calling the police i guess i was supposed to run out the store at that point and get scared i'm not leaving until i'm finished doing what i gotta do you took my money now i'm gonna take your electricity power and heat these goddamn burgers up that's what the hell i'm gonna do it's just the audacity of people for me like i don't care about circle k and i'll be up back up in that score tomorrow i bet you i will i bet you i will whenever i feel like okay let me tell you something i never come in nobody's establishment or no disrespectful [ __ ] i don't even try to be disrespectful to anybody but what you're not gonna do is be disrespectful to me and expect me to you know be all for the [ __ ] with you like i'm saying that's why when i come in here i'm nice and that's how you should be i don't got to be walking around with an attitude because for what that's just too much energy i don't have time for that you know i'm saying i really don't have time for walking around with an attitude and giving people attitude for what like come on there's more in life than walking around and getting upset all the time but if you feel like you can walk all over me and disrespect me because i walk around and say hello to people then you got me effed up because i'm you will see the real me and you'll be like oh [ __ ] that's not the lady that came in right powder one she probably would like that too wow oh but if that's not what i asked for right and y'all brought me the wrong thing and then y'all realize you're wrong wrong the yamas will leave that wrong thing there and go make my right thing they're going to take the wrong thing like yeah it's coping right well the other time they took it back i'm like i just think they should add it onto the menu they should add it on to the menu you're right before you asked what to say what they said the wrong thing again though what [Music] not dirty diana billy gene

Find Your Best Week with Tarot, Numerology, and Lunar Wisdom | Tarot Tuesday Special
hello welcome to town Tuesday on the 29th of August 2023 after shuffling the pack 29 times the card that came out was the Sun so we're going to look at the sun we're gonna look at some numerology and we're also going to look at the August full moon so let's start with the sun tarot card it's a radiant Outlook the sun is a card filled with effervescent joy and boundless optimism it takes Center Stage this week when encountering the sun in a reading you're encountering a symbol of success vitality and fulfillment picture a radiant sun shining down upon child riding a rag's horse surrounded by flowers and you have this wonderful Sun card this card is Rich with symbolism the child represents your innermost innocent self the horse symbolizes freedom and the sunflowers indicate abundance and interconnectedness so the sun can't invite you to discover the Wonder the likeness of being and the simple Joys that make life magical it tells you to celebrate every small or big victory and to shine with confidence and as the sun dispels darkness and shadows it offers Clarity and lights to your path your world is illuminated and so are the opportunities that lie ahead there is no such thing as Darkness only an absence of light and we look at the numerology the power of the number eight how do we get to that so the August the 28th 2023 breaking it down with the numerological significance is two plus nine plus eight plus two plus zero plus two plus three sounds complicated while we get to 26 and when you further simplify that it gets to the number eight and in numerology eight stands for abundance power and the karmic law of cause and effect so this is this they amplifies your potential to turn your dreams into reality it's a number that works harmoniously with the sun card to give you the Boost you need to achieve your heart's desire your path is clear and the universe is aligning to support you and your endeavors when we put on top of that the full Moon in August the sturgeon Moon well the mythical energies of the full Moon in August often known as the surgeon Moon the full moon is the Lumina combination of reflection and emotional release phase it complements the sun's cards themes by asking you to turn inward to understand your emotional and spiritual Realms while the Sun and number eight amplify your external world the full moon works on the magic of your inner self and it's a time to use this lunar energy to release any emotional or spiritual barriers perform rituals or letting go engage in meditation or immerse yourself in some reflective solitude but be kind to yourself the full Moon's light is there to balance a letter balance out the exuberant light of the Sun offering a very holistic approach to your well-being now how do you bring all of this together how do we look at a inspirational look ahead harmonizing the energies for what I perceive to be a remarkable week and as you journey through this week consider yourself blessed by the celestial trifetica the sun tarot card illuminates your external world the number eight infuses it with the energy of Limitless possibilities and the full moon nurture during a landscape by day ride the wave of optimism and seize the opportunities with the zest of the sun card and the drive of the number eight and by night the full moon guide you into more profound emotional and spiritual understanding together these energies form a harmonious stance between light and Shadow action and reflection it external achievements and inner peace this week the cosmos isn't just shining upon you but within you step into this week as a co-creator with the universe balancing the gifts of the Sun and the Moon and leverage in the power of the number eight take this incredible opportunity to harmonize all areas of your life for this week promises success and soulful enragement but go forward with that courage and heart that will make this weaker Masterpiece of lived experiences the universe is not just a spectator in your life's journey it's a willing and benevolent partner Embraces gifts and Shine Your Light inside and out whatever you're doing have a wonderful week as always be love and give love take care God bless

⚡MURDAUGH MURDERS: True Crime Behavior Analysis Marathon!
foreign about the videos we're going to watch yeah so these videos are from right after the police showed up to the murder of his wife and son so um just start the top take your time um like when I came back here I mean I pulled up and I could see him and you know I knew something was bad I ran out I knew it was really bad oh come on my boy over there I could see it was so sorry and I could see it [Music] and I ran over to Maggie and actually I think I tried to turn Paul over first um uh you know I tried to turn him over and uh I don't know I figured it out um his cell phone popped out of his pocket that's started to try to do something with it thinking maybe but then I put it back down really quickly um then I went to my wife and I I mean I could see [Music] did you touch Maggie at all I did I touched them both I tried to take I mean I tried to do it as limited as possible but I try to take their pulse on both of them all right Chase what do you got immediately as this clip starts he's apparently just found his family who'd been killed instead of grief or sadness or even confusion we're seeing full body fear and all I'm going to do is break down the first 18 seconds of this video it's I think it's a minute and a half two minutes long that's all I'm going to do here so let's go over what the fear dose of the body just really quick the first thing is these muscles right here the sternocleidomastoid muscles they jump out in front of the Carotid artery and you'll see it when somebody has that expression you go watch a compilation on YouTube people getting the crap scared out of them you'll see that then the shoulders come up then the humerus Bones come in toward the body and there's a natural tendency to protect the wrists and other joints by bringing them either closer together or closer towards the the body facing away as much as possible from a potential predator many times the lower limbs will move toward the groin so like the arms in men and covering the uterus area in women although I think there's some difference here in the genital protection it's more likely to be during three key moments when you see genital protection in your future it's when someone is feeling vulnerable threatened or insecure those are the typical three times that you'll see genital protection the rib cage lowers down slightly so you can see this posture go down we don't have bones protecting the soft organs in our belly so this forward crunch is almost a way to bring those bones in front of those soft organs then the muscles in the body during fear become more rigid it makes the overall human being more hard to attack and keep in mind this is an analysis of the first 1.5 seconds of the village video right after this he says my boy over there I could see I could see I saw keep in mind as you go through all these clips the difference in someone telling you versus selling you so what's the difference between I could see my ball on the ground and my boy was on the ground one of them is an experience and one of them someone is telling you a story so as you watch these keep in mind that someone who has done something potentially like this will often just show feelings of regret or shame or loss or sadness so being the killer does not make you immune to sadness or crying or anything like that and finally when a dramatic event happens and somebody asks what happened people who are innocent almost never default to chronologically telling you step by step the details are precisely what happens and their internal motivation to make decisions is never explained I did this because of this and because of that this is the most red flags I've seen in one video in a long time and I promise I won't go this long on the rest of them Scott what do you got all right well as long as you want dude that's good stuff I want to pay attention to three things as we're going through these videos number one let's pay attention like what Chase was talking about the growing protection number two his blink rate and number three that Kleenex he's got because he well we'll get into that in a few minutes but let's pay attention to those things the first time we see his cry face kick in it disappears instantly the second time the time it kicks in it lasts a little bit longer but it it it goes away not really fast but fairly fast and there are no tears now when something like this has happened when somebody's just seen their wife and one of their children dead they're going to be crying there's gonna be a whole lot going on pretty he wipes his face like he's wiping tears we don't see the head shakes nose quite often when someone has seen something like that or they've been even told something like that that Horrible's that horrible has happened they'll sit there and they'll rock back and forth a little bit and they'll be doing this they'll they'll be shaking their head no because they don't understand why this happened we see no grief in the grief muscle up here we see no knitting of the brow so many things are are missing from that his voice after this initial engagement where it looks like he's laughing that but he's crying it goes back to normal as Cadence goes back to normal his voice tone and volume go back to normal his diction is spot on everything goes back to disliking just like you would if everything was just fine then he straightens out his Kleenex but he doesn't use it and that's this is going to be part of this show as it goes through part of the one that uses it as an adapter a couple of times but he just Goofs around with it so he gets a little bit loud as that with that performance of the with the kleenex and then it starts going away it starts getting quieter and quite often when a person has experienced something like this that's so horrible their eyes will be fairly wide his aren't really wide his mouth their mouths will be open their eyes are going to be red and their hands are going to be together and they're going to be like rubbing them or clasp them and ringing their hands because they they don't understand why some horribles happen and their brain is just like hey man let's not freak out here so they'll be rubbing their hands together we don't see any of that nothing and um well I'll leave it there there's so much there I can go on for two years Mark what do you got yeah yeah I mean we could talk for an hour on just this one alone it's it's Bonkers um so I'm just going to tell you one thing a a gesture that really stood out to me which I don't I rarely see anywhere else than in uh a Michelin starred kitchen uh and and that is the the gesture of finishing salt when you when you put finishing salt over something when he CR when he cries here's something I've never seen anybody crying do to put their hands up here and then rub their fingers together to see if they've got tears or not to see if there's any wet go back take a look his hand goes up and then you see him do this it's bizarre that alone that alone because it's an outlier in anything that I've ever seen anywhere in the world so that alone causes me well other than you know at a really nice restaurant you know um and sometimes they'll do it from a height as well if they want to be really fancy about it yeah exactly yeah like so um yeah so that alone for me causes me to go okay there's something going on here because I've never seen that gesture anywhere before and certainly why do you need to check if you've got tears or not somebody who's rich somebody who's you know loved ones have died are not checking to see if they have tears or not Greg what do you got on this one yeah so this is a rare one for me because right out of the gate my BS meter is just wide open I could just stop right here and we could be done with this video I if you stole my bicycle I would probably be more upset and this guy appears to be at the beginning of this video and I haven't ridden a bicycle since 2003. so just to give you an idea this guy doesn't show any animation no sense of urgency can we get to the facts can you help me none of that he's just waiting to tell his story that that's an odd start the other one is think about the last time you went to a funeral where people know the person is dead they see the body and you see them an hour later their eyes are bloodshot their nose is kicked nothing nothing that's a red flag for me as well this is right after right after he found his wife and son that's a big deal there's also in the beginning Chase you're talking about his anger but or his fear but I also see him rocking is he listening to Ozzy Osbourne and his head or doing something as he's getting ready for what's to come what you don't know because you didn't clip this video is just before this there's just who are you getting names and all that straight then the rocking starts and that's preparation for what's about to come and then he goes um as it leads into it why why um why um don't have to have an answer we just have to know there's something going on you know look I with a sword thing when I fight I ramp up by doing something too I might rock my body and do that kind of thing a lot of people who fight do that martial arts folks do it but we don't usually associate with telling a story it's not usually how we go I also said remorse doesn't mean you didn't do it and look if you killed your child and didn't expect to do horrific things to that child the things he describes you might still show it now there's also a study from 2012 at the University of British Columbia that shows that the best way to tell when somebody is truthful or not about things like this is that that grief muscle we all talk about that we say Darwin and Duchesne originally called it that for ease of discussion it's that little Arch that we see up here that isn't ever present in folks who are lying it rare rare in folks who aren't lying who are lying what you see instead is this whole frontalis this whole set of muscles here draw down does that look familiar and if I remember the muscles here the zygomatic major I think they're referred to as the ones that tie off from your cheeks to make you smile a containment of that so that it can almost look like a smile that sounds awfully familiar to what he's doing go look at that study what they don't see is all this engagement in the forehead they see that down and this engagement of these muscles at the side he goes down the well you guys know I always say when a person's trying to cry they go down the well they find a reason they make it as horrible as they can and they can find a reason to cry but no tears come up Mark to your point he tries to find it the interesting piece is the people sitting behind him feel it and feel bad for him and go to it interesting then he says I figured out that he was dead well I look we're going to bleep a few words in this thing but go listen to the real words there's no doubt the guy's dead you wouldn't even have to figure it out and then he's got a damn straight face all the time for what he's talking about and there's that side it looks like he's almost choking back a smile he goes I tried to take there and he pauses a few beats and then says pulse there's so much in here forget the fear forget all the stuff that we're seeing forget the wind up Ozzy Osbourne everything else here is just not compatible with a person who just found and I'll leave it at this people react differently but not all these different ways and clusters that we're all seeing so you you might be interested enough that this might be all you want to watch but there's a lot more hang on so um just start the top take your time um like when I came back here I mean I pulled up and I could see him and you know I knew something was bad I ran out I knew it was really bad oh come on my boy over there I could see it was so sorry and I could see [Music] and I ran over to Maggie and actually I think I tried to turn Paul over first um you know I tried to turn him over and uh I don't know I figured it out um his cell phone popped out of his pocket that's started to try to do something with it thinking maybe but then I put it back down really quickly um then I went to my wife and I I mean I could see did you touch Maggie at all I did I touched them both I tried to take I mean I tried to do it as limited as possible but I try to take their pulse on both of them and um you know I called 9-1-1 um pretty much right away and she was very good um I talked to her um I told her I was going to get off the phone to call some family members I did that um and um what family members did you call me I call my brother Randy and I called my brother John and I tried to call the little boy real good friend that's right around the corner from here but I didn't get him okay all right Mark what do you got uh yeah so uh you know I called 9-1-1 pretty much right away uh yeah I don't think that happened at all I don't think he called 9-1-1 straight away at all simply from you know then then pretty much I don't like those around around I called 9-1-1 just I called 9-1-1 immediately that's it that's a good way to say it uh he Praises them the law enforcement there's there's no his his son and you know wife or dad like who cares how good the law enforcement were at that point you don't care how good how good they were you're not bad you're not giving out medals at that point and look and he's totally taking control of his breathing you know what what you what you saw at the start where he's where I think you're right Chase there's there's fear there and I think there's probably a little bit of panic as well but quickly taking control of it I think maybe those officers in the back give them a bit of you know bolstery's confidence a little bit about this is working we can keep see his eyes kind of you know heading off to the side to check out is this is working is it working and uh oh God it's it's a fun it's it's fun stuff I'm gonna keep it at that because there's plenty more plenty more to come uh Chase what do you got on this one all right then in this clip there's a continuation of what you saw on the first one the groin protection has become more pronounced the emotion is gone the chronology the exact precise chronology of detail continues here and the emotional impact of these phone calls is missed there's no emotional impact when talking about these phone calls because a they're potentially fake the story's fake and B the stress from having to fake this is causing that emotion not to be there I think it's unusual that he felt the need to provide a customer review for the 9-1-1 operator this might be something in his behavior profile though that's starting to reveal itself but let's see if there's any other evidence that pops up before my hunch on this uh dies and I'll dive into that and Greg what do you got yeah again we call that the Fig leaf for obvious reasons when a person crosses they're groin when a male crosses their groin to protect their testicles primary sex organs this guy's doing what I would call a modified fig Leaf he puts his hand in his lap and you'll see him moving his hand fairly often but here again look if I have the opportunity to tell you a story or say hey somebody kill my family and they're still lying right there they're probably close by can we do something to help find them not and um uh yeah and after that and he's storytelling now and we see it because he says haltingly pretty much right away Mark to your point exactly pretty much right away not right away not right after that pretty much and then he mouth Grooms which we only see a couple of times in this entire thing and we say mouth Grooms our mouths get dry when we're feeling stressed and lying creates stress in most of us except for those who are talented at it and if I'm trying to hide something I don't want you to find it I'm going to go and have that opportunity to grow in my mouth you'll see it happen a couple of times in this one and he does a long vowel and and then he goes into chase you were calling it something earlier I'll call it clearing not steering he's going to give you reasons why he was busy and why you didn't you know all that kind of thing there's still no sense of urgency you know I I wrote in my notes I hung up the phone I scratched my backside and um and he's just giving you useless details that I would not give a cop if I were trying to find somebody he's navigating out of what just his way through what to say as he goes she was a good 9-1-1 operator the only good thing in this entire thing is he is not feeling stress smart to your point it's a great thing because it gives us some matter of fact stuff I call my brother so we can look at what matter of fact stuff is because this guy's not stupid he's not going to say I call my brother and then you pull his phone records and he didn't guarantee you he called his brother did all those pieces so this gives us a way to pay attention to him as he moves forward we're going to see it in a couple of other places Scott what do you got I agree with you we're not seeing those things that let us know that there's stress there we're not seeing very many adapters that should theoretically be there from the stress he's supposed to be feeling or going through it during this we don't see any of that still no no valid signs of grief whatsoever uh from a body language perspective anyway this blink rate still really low he's still coming he's growing like you were saying and he's still goof around that Kleenex still hasn't used that yet and he never asks why this happened he doesn't try to connect with that with that police officer and you know like you like they'll do they'll sit there they'll look at you and go what you know the out of confusion they'll look at and go what's you know why what he never says why he doesn't do any of that this should be so horrific that it should blow his mind that that because he shouldn't be able to understand that but he doesn't have a problem understanding that because I'm under the impression he's the one that did it so it doesn't bother him at all he doesn't need to do that the most horrible thing that ever happened to him he's not trying to connect with anybody not trying to go you know dude what's going on what what the hell nothing like that at all um his head is is in the space it should be for what he's trying to do so he's thinking about all the things he's making sure his story is tight so he's he's relaxing now because he thinks these people believe him you hear that guy in the back coughing like he's got zika or something but that doesn't throw him either you know because he's like clearing his throat and doing all that stuff as well but his head is right where it should be for someone who is who's who is is confident with having fooled everyone that they that their their story is being believed I think so that's what I got yeah and um you know I called 9-1-1 um pretty much right away and she was very good um I talked to her um I told her I was going to get off the phone to call some family members I did that um and um family members did you call him I called my brother Randy and I called my brother John and I tried to call the little boy real good friend that's right around the corner from here but I didn't get him okay okay what all was around um Paul when he walked up blood any any other anything else I mean there was some body things yes sir I mean like any other evidence I know you said the phone fell out the pocket but did you see anything else that didn't belong or shouldn't belong or that wasn't part of Paul and those are not no not good no sir how about Maggie no sir you didn't see anything around them all right Greg what do you got yeah everything we talk about in everything is about Baseline so we start from whatever is normal for the person in the situation again it's not normal for you to sit around in your on your couch eating Cheetos that that Baseline we're talking about the Baseline you're dealing with when you're asking non-pertinent questions so we see some of that we see them starting off with more that same factual Baseline and he's fairly normal until until he's asked about Maggie we'll talk about that in just a minute but there's no Grimace or distaste or any negative emotion about blood or body stuff around his son anybody find that odd I mean all kinds of people deal with things different ways if you found a dog who had been shot you would probably have a Grimace around that not your child and I will say this we say sudden politeness matters but this is low country South Carolina that sudden politeness is just politeness in the part of Georgia I live in they're people who refuse to call me by my first name because I'm older and so it's just part of the culture just to point that out there could be a reason but I don't think it is um it's out of character that he retracts the side of his mouth and does some odd thing odd thing with his mouth he grimaces when he's asked is there anything around Maggie he does that he absolutely does not answer the question not just hit a little shakes his head a little and makes eye contact for the first time in the entire video we talk about Baseline we talk about deviation from Baseline ding ding ding I would say hold up hold on a minute why did you suddenly do something different or I'd make a mental note and come back and poke and prod it again and again and again uh Chase what do you got this guy's a prosecutor who which I learned from Greg as we were kind of ramping up for this episode on Zoom and he's probably tried a bunch of cases this is proof that no matter how many cases you do you don't get inoculated to not displaying the perfect behaviors the all four of us you can go back and watch us through these videos we get stressed out our blink rate goes up we have the same human responses that anyone else does it doesn't give you some hall pass to never display these behaviors again when you learn them and that's what we're seeing here a prosecutor who probably thought that he was inoculated against all this stuff he knew what to say he didn't know how to say it and that's the big difference and Greg I'm just going to say this this politeness that we are seeing here is a spike and it's not really present anywhere else here and I'm you know I'm Arkansas my family's off market so I see a lot of that but in the moment it's just it spikes up higher than it ever does in the conversation so I'm just going to look at it as a one data point not some big thing that reveals anything write about the specifics concerning the crime scene and he's gone from no emotion and minimal responsiveness to more responsive more eye contact and suddenly using the word sir I would just say this this is a little Spike here that's concerning to me but notice also when he's being asked to think back and go through the crime scene there's no emotion and zero eye accessing we move our eyes around in our our head to access all kinds of details there is none of that here this is another huge red flag for me Scott all right I'm going to talk about one thing once like you were just saying Chase when somebody goes back through that and you ask them a question about what they saw or what happened and they're reliving that because they're there and their brain's seeing it they go into this Blank Stare almost as they start telling you about it we don't see that at all this guy isn't doing anything that normal humans would do than my experience so far things that I've seen where a person explaining what happened or describing a scene or what was going on there doesn't do anything they normally do or that I'm under the impression they normally do there's there's nothing you're right Greg when he he connects with them it's but it's not that connection of what the hell there's no there's nothing I'm gonna go back to what I said earlier there's nothing happening here that that says um I'm worried about this I can't believe it this has got me stressed it's just it should just be freaking him out and it isn't except for that he tried to pull it off the top with that that fake cry which we all during the thing we got the giggles all this because it looks like he was laughing if you go back and watch that you'll see what I'm talking about but man that this doesn't show anything it should be showing for someone who's gone through something so horrific Mark what do you think yeah I agree with it can I can I correct one thing Mark before you start yeah I just double checked he apparently did volunteer work in the solicitor's office so he wasn't a full-time prosecutor just for your knowledge okay yeah it's just too calm just too calm just too still and it's and it's not the Stillness of shock because the the tension would be in his body you'd see him stuck there you'd see some kind of catatonic State he's too soft it's too cool uh it's too much like he's on you know he's sitting on the couch eating Cheetos it's just that kind of softness and and Rhythm I totally agree he's not seeing the scene in his head we don't see any eye accessing I don't care where his eyes go I need his eyes to go somewhere somewhere to search for information because he would know he's being asked information because there could be a clue there could be a clue that could lead to the perpetrator right now he doesn't even bother to go and look for that information why because he knows there's no information there he knows there's nothing there that would help them find the perpetrator because they found the perpetrator he's sitting in the car next to them uh I mean just no shock no looking to the scene uh so nonchalant it's extraordinary and so different from what he his tactic at the start I think he stopped that tactic because again he got such a good response from the officers that you know he thinks it's it's done now and he doesn't need to go back to that tactic yeah that's all I got Now Greg what would you tell us earlier we talked we were going through some things earlier about the back story on this what what else has this guy been into what else have been going on yeah hold on one second yeah this family is really prominent so his I think it's his father was the last prosecutor but from 1920 to 2006 they held the office prosecutor for that County it's a really big Legacy of legal family um he's got some ghosts in his past if you go look he's got some things around like a housekeeper who died that they had some life insurance policy on he's got some other stuff there's a kid who his son went to school with who ended up dying and there was rumor that his son was involved and there was the case was closed most but has been reopened by the district attorney as a result of evidence they found during this case he was estranged from his wife at the time of the murder and if you go read the headlines they say she was lured out to there apparently he asked her to visit his terminally ill father and she said no she wanted to be in public because he was acting fishy I mean there's a ton of stuff in here just go out and look for yourself there's more than one weapon involved there's a ton of stuff in this case there's just a lot for you to go look at we could spend an entire hour just refuting and figuring out what's on the list of rumors and checklists as Chase often says we're not the forensics panel we're telling you what we see in this video and there's plenty so this is good enough so Greg note to self always get life insurance for domestic help it's not odd not for sure for sure have you ever heard of that before I've never heard of it before but I'm gonna I'm gonna do it why wouldn't you I mean wow I don't just in case you know I mean I don't know there's a bit of money out of your domestic help just in case they die there's so much information out here on these guys I think there's even a lot more like he's got Financial crimes that if he were to get off these charges he still got Financial crimes to face there's a ton of stuff that they've allowed into evidence just go watch look I don't want to be the guy who misquotes something I probably misquoted some of that but just go read there's so much out there on this guy you could spend all day trying to figure out all the craziness going on this case so yeah what all was around um Paul when he walked up blood any any other anything else I mean there was somebody things yes sir I mean like any other evidence I know you said the phone fell out the pocket but did you see anything else that didn't belong or shouldn't belong or that wasn't part of Paul no sir not no not good no sir how about Maggie no sir you didn't see anything around them what made you come out here at night um I went to my mom's late stage Alzheimer's patient my dad's in the hospital um my mom gets anxious when she does I went to check on them and Maggie Maggie's a dog lover and she fools with the dogs and I knew she'd gone to the kennel I was at the house I left the house and went to my mom's um probably just a little while tried to call her when I left texted her no response um when I got back to the house the house was obviously nobody was in there so I figured they're still up here fooling around Paul was um going to be getting set up to plant our sunflowers seeds got sprayed and died and he was refiguring to do to plant the sunflower seeds so I came back up here and I drove up and saw and called another an ID yeah I don't know that was his friend hey I was like up to this point we're right now we're talking about how we thought the guy in the back seat was was a police officer but it was just odd and Greg what do you say about it I think it's his friend I think it's his friend I think it's his friend I don't remember but I think it's just Randolph he's got his shirt open like he's Robert Wagner the only thing he's missing was those little scarves that go there or I'd ask what do you call that thing Ascot was that what's what's the scarf they put about Mark for that oh that's all he's missing plus they need to get him some kind of coveted you know something on him to this guy man he's back there sounds like something's up with him sounds like this may be some of his last days uh okay sorry about that I should cut all that maybe it's code for shut up you sound stupid it could be and it's so I'm gonna say this about him too a little while his knee comes out look how shiny his knee is so it's like a mirror it looks it looks like it's so weird man it looks like it looks like a polished piece of wood when it comes out his knee you'll see in a few minutes okay I thought it was a cop I'm gonna say anything about it but man I hope he's not but geez he's really going to get his thing together man all right uh Greg what do you got yeah this is the first time we see him touch his face touches his nose look you'll hear people say if a person touches their nose or lying no we we're not those folks what we're saying is look for a deviation in Baseline and ask yourself why it's a pertinent question and a hard question why did you come out here tonight well that's a good question and use his left hand touches his face suddenly he does one of the most powerful male adapters that exist I call it butterfly thighs and if you ever want to see men will flip their legs their thighs in and out that way younger men do it a lot it also includes your genitals when you start moving your legs and it has a lot of impact so that's a big comforting move for a guy to do you'll see it a lot in younger sports players when they're being interviewed when you watch them on night shows and that kind of thing all an adapter is is a way for you to release nervous energy and if we do them enough they become habitual so if you don't know what yours are the way you release nervous energy ask someone next to you ask someone who knows you well because they know what you do when you're releasing ever since you maybe you pick your nails flip your hair do something like that then he starts to tell a long story that has no pertinence to anything we're talking about and that is I went to see my mama my mama's sick she's got dementia and he goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and he gives you the cookbook we call that chaff and redirect because an aircraft drops chaff to open missile will follow it rather than the story that's what he's doing he's dropping lots of details hoping you'll follow that and that's odd usually but again my wife and son are lying 100 yards away dead somebody murdered them and I'm going to tell you about my mom jello she had for lunch come on and he's adapting like all hell with that issue with his hands in with the other he goes to that dog lover she fools with a dog boom one shoulder Rises we hadn't seen that yet we see a single shoulder we often associate that with discomfort or not comfortable in the information they're sharing he does a pause he does a down left looks down left which we associate with internal voice and he does a head scratch we associate all of those things with thinking with giving yourself time to think he doesn't say what he saw what he saw over with her either with words or with body language or with tone none of that and I think the female law enforcement officer in the back senses it because watch her cross her abdomen in discomfort as he's telling that story I bet if you went talking they would say this guy day one we thought he whacked her we thought he killed his wife that's exactly what I think you'd see uh Mark what do you got yeah there's a Cascade of negative statements victim statements really the parents are ill and anxious uh Maggie's a dog lover doesn't love him loves the dogs uh she falls with the dogs that's negative rather than going she looks after those dogs so well if she's falling with the dogs um and he's texted her and there's no response so she's not attentive to him and then Paul is associated with sunflowers dying so again not being able to I mean that will more of this story will come out and maybe he's laying down this story early but essentially everybody is inept ultimately parents are non-functioning uh wife loves uh animals and messes around and doesn't answer the phone and Paul can't look after sunflowers so really casting uh um a bad light on the the victims there and and him being around people who can't look after themselves or the things that are important or him this is very different from um uh a video that we looked at earlier uh this week around the um the the boyfriend of Nicola bully who uh went missing um maybe is still missing who knows at this point um but in that particular film he didn't create any negative attitude about this missing person no negative attitude about the victim no you know she goes for silly walks with the dog and probably messed up somewhere and so it's so different here again that alone uh is allowed a loud flag you can't have a loud flag but I'm going to say it anyway it's a loud flag it's a loud loud flag uh Greg what do you got in this one no Chase yep thank you this is detail overload there's a few things I want you to notice as you go through the video again in just a second number one the detail and the there's the chronology of everything is loaded and piled high but none of the details are about finding out who did this there is no request to investigate the scene or talk about the word murder it's the last word in the world that he wants to come out of his mouth at A Moment Like This and the confirmation glances back and forth where he's checking that detective with every detail in this clip especially just to make sure he's buying it or just a classic Hallmark of deception it's one of the things we look for when we see a lot of other behaviors and they're outside of Baseline like we're seeing here and when he says obviously nobody was in there I think he's telling us potentially this my opinion as this entire video is just an opinion I think he's telling us it was obvious to him that nobody was going to be in that house then finally we have something called severity softening and lack of detail there's tons of my new perfect little details about the intricate process he's going through with these sunflower seeds then what's the detail on the crime scene here's the detail on the crime scene in this video word for word I came up and saw and called that's the difference between sunflower seeds versus dead family members here Scott you know what Greg would you not that you've told us this guy in the back isn't a cop this makes so much sense the way she's acting and do you know what's making this is what I think here I go from my rants but you know what makes me think she knows something's up think about it for a minute you guys think about this for a second what's he wearing a white T-shirt where does he come from he's come from two people who have been killed in a it's a bloody crime scene that he's put his hands on that he's been messing with there's no blood on this guy nowhere and he's not using that Kleenex he's not looking his hands to make sure there's no blood he's washed his hands that's what's happened he's changed games yeah yeah he'll tell you he went back to the house afterward yep yep yep that's what that's what's happened I don't know if that if that's if he he doesn't talk about it in here anyway that's what's bothering her that's what I bet that because she can't see him so it's something that happened beforehand that's got her thinking something's up with this guy that's what I think that's what I think is happening there I just thought about that a second ago that yeah so anyway that that's what I think is going on there but back to the body was part of it um after the question you're right Greg he touches the middle part of his head there the middle of his brow there I haven't seen that yet just other than than rubbing his whole face then he does this really quick request for approval that's another one of Greg's things where your eyebrows go up as you're looking looking to get something okay or you're asking the question you need some information his his eyebrows go up and he starts adapting I guess what you call that butterfly thing Greg then he starts using his Kleenex as an adapter which we talked about what happened earlier earlier we talked about that was going to happen a whole lot of movement in comparison to the Baseline we've seen up at this point up to this point because he's been fairly still up till now this is where it makes me think something would be up with this then he starts going down this list of stuff and his voice is uh-huh and then this is just it's just a list he's rehearsed this he knew what he was going to say when he came into this when this question came up he's he's got his list of things that happened and things that he was going to talk about you see a couple of those little shoulder shrugs a single shoulder shrug here and a single one there and then a full one there but the thing is with shoulder shrugs and you'll hear a lot of things about him but here's what we are under the impression or understand that shoulder shrugs indicate is when one shoulder goes up really quickly that that says I don't I'm not sure about this answer I'm not sure what I'm saying if it goes up and stays like it will sometimes it stays for about a second or second half same with a double shoulder strike it stays up for a second if not it just comes up and down really quickly that indicates a person isn't sure about their answer not that they're being deceptive but it just says they're not sure about what that answer is and I think he's afraid he's trying to make sure he's covering every base as he's thinking about that I guess in his brain he's thinking okay I've got that covered let me see what else I got that I think as it goes down this list that's why we're seeing those things um but throughout this he still hasn't used that Kleenex for what you use them for and I think he's I think I think he changed clothes I think he washed up and changed clothes that's what that's what I think on that one let's see what happens all right we're good the eyewitnesses you what made you come out here tonight um I went to my mom's late stage Alzheimer's patient my dad's in the hospital um my mom gets anxious when she does I went to check on them and Maggie Maggie's a dog lover and she fools with the dogs and I knew she'd gone to the kennel I was at the house I left the house and went to my mom's for just a little while tried to call her when I left texted her no response um when I got back to the house the house was obviously nobody was in there so I figured they're still up here fooling around Paul was going to be getting set up to plant our sunflowers seeds got sprayed and died and he was refiguring to do to plant the sunflower seeds so I came back up here and I drove up and saw and called had Maggie and Paul been arguing over anything no what was their relationship like wonderful wonderful how about yours and Maggie's wonderful I mean I'm sure we had little things here and there but we had a wonderful marriage wonderful relationship been yours and Paul's relationship as good as it could be how old was Paul 22 okay you know his date of birth I do April 11th 96 is his brother's April 14th 99 us Falls right about what's Maggie's full name Margaret branstadter Murdoch her date of birth sir September 15 1968. foreign have y'all been having any problems out here trespassers none people breaking in none that I know of the only thing that what comes to my mind is my son Paul was in a boat wreck a couple years ago and there's been a you know he was charged with being arrested for being a driver there's been a lot of negative publicity about that and there's been a lot of people online just really vile stuff but when Paul's out and about I mean people routinely I don't think I know the full story um because I don't think they'd give it to me but I mean he's been punched and hit and just attacked a lot so you know but I mean nothing like this yeah this is a mistake John I used to I tell you the blood out there I think might have been two guns I don't know he's gonna trust me on that one I'm gonna cut that out I shouldn't have said whack but sorry yeah what are you gonna do all right Chase what do you got there's some strange head movement here there's shaking and knotting mixed together which you do not see in this culture and I think this is confused on his part of which behavior to display and you can confirm this confusion by the fact that he starts doing what I call intent checking he's glancing repeatedly at the detective here in this instance to determine what kind of intent the detective has and the angle that he's taking with some of these questions and when he offers this uh the brother's birthday this is a miniature resume statement here and he's offering the details that suggest that he's a caring and good father see I know both of their birthdays and I think he's doing that mostly unconsciously and when there's a question about the trespassers the response to the question is an insertion of ambiguity into the case think about it if I asked you if strangers come into your house often your answer would be no probably not so I would say this is maybe uh going on Mark's uh scale maybe a dark medium medium light or uh weight flag did you say heavy flag no it was the sound of it but I like it okay so this is maybe a volume nine or a 8.5 on the 10 scale flag and I don't know how big this property is which is one of the reasons here we can call this maybe a a medium flag here there's an inability to identify a perpetrator there is no concern to find out who did this at all he wants to keep the net cast as wide as possible for here for what might have happened and he still won't say murder he skips over the murder every single possible time that it comes up every time here mark uh yeah so I love this one where he where his his leg starts getting excited it starts going up and down a bit of the in and out as well there Greg as well but it's it's even more joyous around this idea of introducing the boat story because I think you know he's now laying down some some ideas of of you know potential uh trouble that may lead to a perpetrator and I think he looks off to his side there not only to check intent but to work out how's my story landing on this one is this one is this one I should go a little bit further down that my you know my son may well have an enemy uh out there oh we also this is off Baseline as well we also start to see uh his hand uh nearest to the driver to the to the officer um just becomes more active and I hadn't seen his hand that active and that descriptive so I think he's becoming quite excited and buoyant around how this story might work out from for him this is off uh Baseline for me uh Scott where you got on this one all right here's where he alludes to the alludes to the murders being due to that boat accident that's cool when you're you're trying to blame something on something your son did that's that that says a lot about this guy his personality type and we ask about the when he's asked about the relationship with his son his head shakes and it turned no and it starts turning like Chase was saying it's like a little bobble head doll so there's a lot going on there at that point as well and that's probably true that the relationship is as is as good as it could be you know as it could possibly be and that's because I don't they probably didn't get along very well so it was as good as it could possibly be because maybe the the child didn't like him maybe the wife didn't like him because he says the same thing about her as well as good as it could possibly be and he's telling the truth I think there it was as good as it could possibly be apparently she's moved out and lives where'd you say she was Greg living in the what in their beach house I read she was estranged in living in their beach house yeah didn't bring that up at all so there's there's a lot going on there that he's not bringing up so I'm sure it was as good as it could possibly be Greg what do you got yeah so I couldn't pay a person to illustrate Baseline better than this guy does he's asked two questions about his relationship with his son and about his relationship with his wife and in both instances he says wonderful but go back watch his body language when he says wonderful when he says wonderful about his son it's pretty straight body language he says wonderful about his wife now we know that they're estranged he breaks eye contact moves away to the side his face changes and he is entirely different when he's saying that then he Dr he's drawing away as he says it then he qualifies it I forget what he says exactly well we had our moments and and and then he gets back into this facts and deliberate language and the minute he gets back into those facts and deliberate language then he's okay he's answering factual questions his Baseline comes back when he gets down to the mechanics and he starts to tell that boat story his thighs start moving as Mark said he starts to march in place with that one foot and his blink rate increases he does a left shoulder shrug again when he says nothing like this well of course nothing like this yeah they hit him they said bad things to him and never came out and killed him so all this we see a pattern we see his Baseline when he's comfortable we see a deviation and we get a chance to see two very different answers using the same English if if you think that body language is Hokum watch that tell me it's Holcomb tell me you can't see something that's going on two different messages same words that's all I got that's a tie beautiful Olympics you take it so serious the eyewitnesses you had Maggie and Paul been arguing over anything no what was their relationship like wonderful wonderful how about yours and Maggie's wonderful I mean I'm sure we had little things here and there but we had a wonderful marriage wonderful relationship been yours and Paul's relationship as good as it could be how old is Paul 22 okay you know his date of birth I do April 11 96 is his brother's April 14 99 I suppose how about what's Maggie's full name Margaret branstadter Murdoch and her date of birth September 15 1968 [Music] foreign have y'all been having any problems out here trespassers breaking in none that I know of the only thing that what comes to my mind is my son Paul was in a boat wreck a couple years ago and there's been a you know he was charged with being arrested for being a driver there's been a lot of negative publicity about that and there's been a lot of people online just really vile stuff but when Paul's out and about I mean people routinely I don't think I know the full story um because I don't think they'd give it to me but I mean he's been punched and hit and just attacked a lot so you know but I mean nothing like this yeah so is there anybody that you can think of that we need to talk to tonight is there a name that comes to mind I mean I can't tell you anybody that I'm overly suspicious of off the top of my head okay you know um I mean this is such a stupid thing I'm even embarrassed to say it but it just didn't make any sense I just hired a guy out here and he really he wasn't cutting the mustard but I hadn't told him this yet Paul's been working with him a lot he killed the sunflower seeds in our dove field just recently which is why Paul was here doing this he told Paul a story the other day about how when he was in high school he got in a fight with some black guys and FBI undercover team observed him fighting those guys and put him on an undercover team with three Navy Seals and their job was to kill radical Black Panthers and they did that from Myrtle Beach to Savannah now I really don't think this guy you know is probably the person but that's just so freaking yeah that's kind of far-fetched but he was off today okay he took his daddy to the doctor what's his name C.B Rowe oh Chase what do you got right at the beginning of this clip you can see him try to adjust himself to look more comfortable and more relaxed the moment he does this you're gonna see his body completely disagree with him it's going to move his hand back almost just without his consent to protect the growing and the femoral artery here and do you know what other emotion that would be coming up here that's missing is anger anger would be present here and he's got a huge problem identifying a perpetrator here who did this and he wants to keep the ambiguity as high as possible and I don't think there's any desire whatsoever for them to find for him to get them to find the person that did this and just pay close attention to what is not being said here and I think in my opinion you might hear a murderer talking if you just listen to what's not being said and what's being ignored Greg yeah there's no anger there's no rush there's no urgency none of that as a matter of fact listen to the Cadence of his storytelling Slow Down slow down this is what has it been 30 minutes of him sitting in a car I would be looking for help he gives into you know there's a new word a new phrase he's injecting that indicates he's comfortable and thinking and talking and that's his filler words starting to come out he doesn't it's not squim it's not scrambled it's not compressed none of that's going on there's more concern in the cops brow and then the guy in the back seat and there isn't his this is his family there's that zygomatic muscle again that we said makes your face want to smile it sure looks like he's almost smiling when he's telling that story well we know that earlier what the study said was if your frontalis muscle was down in in sadness and that that was probably an indicator he also starts to Turtle chase after he goes back and he gets forced into that position then he shrinks a bit when we say turtling your head and your torso shrinking make your target smaller this Cadence is unlike anything else we've heard I think it's because he has already been rehearsing this story and he knows what he's going to say this guy who told me this story and well if you if you're trying to figure out who to point somebody to and you'd have a lot of details when I would just say hey there's a guy who works for me he's a little shady maybe you want to go check him if that were the case I don't think that's the case and this is the first time the single first time he's used his right hand to illustrate anything when he's talking about this guy it's been at his groin as I call it protecting the precious this entire time that's another red flag Scott what do you got all right now he's trying to put the suspicion on somebody else he brings in this other guy that that worked for him that he just hired that isn't working out and again we're not seeing like you were saying Greg we're not seeing things we should be seeing in here we're not seeing the emotions someone go through as they relive this experience of what just happened the most horrible things ever happened to him we don't see that uncontrolled uncontrollable sobbing no wailing and crying nothing we don't even see one tear and he has and I've been looking nothing we don't see he doesn't tear up there's nothing in there there's no tears at all we don't see that Detachment you'll see from when someone goes through something that bad why no why did this happen going back to that and talk about how good they were he's not talking about the things oh oh he loved this or she loved he she talked about the dogs earlier but he didn't really focus on that he'd be talking about how the things that he thought of her and what they reminded what this reminded him of her she liked to do this and he loved to do that that's what he would talk about a lot especially with this amount of time going by in an interview like this not in here's where that usually happens especially when you're the first you got him in the car and you're the first ones talking to him that's what you see in here there's none of that none of that none of that's happening he should be distraught if the sky is not distraught he sounds like he's talking about some things that you know like when we tell stories it sounds like he's talking about something happened last week guess what happened last week this and then going through it he just gives this list of things and never tears up doesn't use his Kleenex either nothing's looking the way it should look I keep going back to that but that's I think that's the most important thing here nothing looks as it should look up to now all right Mark what do you got uh yeah this is a beautiful scene you can't even write this stuff it's it's genius the uh the officer says look is there anybody that we should be looking at and while he says that he covers his mouth because he knows I think that he's looking at the perpetrator right now so he's even blocking himself to the to the LIE of the question that he's asking there this guy comes up with an amazing story it's a brilliant story I I don't know whether he's making it up completely on his on his own or this this guy who had took the day off uh today um had actually told in this story but it's a brilliant idea for a story whereby you got a kid a high school kid you know gets in a fight uh FBI CM they've got a whole bunch of Navy Seals and they go after the Black Panthers together all the way and I love this line they did that from Myrtle Beach to Savannah it's just a great I can you know I can just picture it in my head the Navy Seals and this high school kid Myrtle Beach is fantastic I just all that rough stuff happening in Myrtle Beach and then all the way down I think they have to go through through Charlotte or something like that or Charleston or something I don't know I I can't remember but yeah yeah but I'm just pick picturing the scene there as well the awful car image up and down the coast that's going on so I mean what a what an amazing amazing story and and the cop again like does a double take on it just does it oh no what the hell what the hell's going on here and and he does say look I'm embarrassed to say this I'm embarrassed to even put this idea forward but then he goes um yeah I I felt that story was a bit off but he did take the day off today like what a brilliant equation it's a Nutty story obviously it's utter nuts but he did take the day off so I think you should be looking at him just brilliant brilliant brilliant logic love it let's have another you don't know about the FBI Navy SEAL high school recruiter killer teams oh no everybody everybody knows that story in the US that's like a classic all the way from uh yeah little beach to us because no because well last time was in Myrtle Beach nobody brought it up so uh well they have to sell cookies I'm thinking of talk about or something you know we don't talk about it oh you're too British oh that's I'm sorry that was a girl scouts somebody sells cookies right I was in it but they kicked me out for crying so is there anybody that you can think of that we need to talk to tonight is there a name that comes to mind I mean I can't tell you anybody that I'm overly suspicious of off the top of my head okay you know um I mean this is such a stupid thing I'm even embarrassed to say it but it just didn't make any sense I just hired a guy out here and he really he wasn't cutting the mustard but I hadn't told him this yet Paul's been working with him a lot he killed the sunflower seeds in our dove field just recently which is why Paul was here doing this he told Paul the story the other day about how when he was in high school he got in a fight with some black guys and FBI undercover team observed him fighting those guys and put him on an undercover team with three Navy Seals and their job was to kill radical Black Panthers and they did that from Myrtle Beach to Savannah now I really don't think this guy you know is probably the person but that's just so freaking yeah that's kind of far-fetched story weird but he was off today he took his daddy to the doctor what's his name C.B Rowe do y'all store any weapons out here um we don't store them but they're you know they're frequently out here I need to find out if there were any out here because I know there was a shotgun there was a 12 gauge shotgun out here uh I'll have to find out exactly when that was I think it got put up but I'm not positive what did that shotgun look like uh it was uh camouflage I want to say it was a Benelli or maybe a Beretta I can't remember which brand it is [Music] I don't think it was out here okay recently but I'm not positive and the shotgun that you had when deputies pulled up where did that come come from I went to the house and I got a gun probably overreacting but and it was that when you pulled up and saw them no I mean I came out and I mean I called 9-1-1 first talked to them for a little while then I told her I told her that I was that I was going to go to the house okay and then I would let authorities know when they got here that I had a gun okay okay all right Mark what do you got yeah just one thing which is which is he's really screwed himself now because now he's bringing up the murder weapon how easy was that how easy was that gunny guns out here yeah and he's mentioned a shotgun and I'm gonna assume from what I heard before as to the condition of certainly one of the bodies that a shotgun was was used and so uh yeah he's already bringing up the murder weapon and what it might look at look like and could be you know certain brand um you know I can't believe that he's well he's not been clever throughout any of this so I don't know why I'm getting why I was even going to say that that he's been so clever and now he's being so dumb because ultimately he's been so dumb throughout it yeah that's all I got on that one Greg what do you got yeah and for those who don't know weapons a shotgun is harder to trace as a murder weapon because it doesn't rifle whatever you're using you can have rifle slugs but likely not what was used and those rifles on the other hand like that blackout that they're using does create patterning on the bullet so if you have the weapon and the bullet you can figure out which weapon was used that's part of the reason why that might be an issue this cup is even looking a little frustrating look at the brow and suddenly this guy talks like a lawyer do you have weapons do you store weapons there well not stored well you know the intent of the question but you're answering it that way his hands have moved now it always got kind of a little gentle hug going on and he's chatting when he talks about weapons when he starts to talk about weapons his blink rate Rises and he starts to adapt as they're talking about this weapon specifically this shotgun you see his foot starting to tap and hop his hand is adapting meaning releasing nervous energy at his stomach and after he's asked specifically about did you have a shotgun watch that right leg it is going crazy his breathing becomes more rapid and pronounced and he even loses fluency as he's running out of words at what he told her his blink writes higher this is a hot spot this and back to why did you come here and a couple of others are real hot spots at this point you got to pay attention when something jumps off the plate this is a loud red flag Mark to use yours Chase what do you got yeah I've got a couple loud Flags here too there's more ambiguity being injected here about the shotgun ambiguity about the weapon not certainty so and the desire to help the case means that you would specifically State the facts without ambiguity and then he's saying I got a gun it was probably overreacting he's explaining motive again to perform an action innocent people don't feel the need to stop the story and explain motive to every action that they take and grabbing a gun after finding family members that are murdered is not an overreaction in this culture that we're seeing here in this video I think he went back to get a different gun uh that was from the house so he could be holding one uh when the police showed up in my opinion definitely not a fact Scott all right you guys covered everything I was going to cover keep it from being boring let's move on the eyewitnesses you do y'all store any weapons out here um we don't store them but they're you know they're frequently out here I need to find out if there were any out here because I know there was a shotgun there was a 12 gauge shotgun out here uh I'll have to find out exactly when that was I think it got put up but I'm not positive what did that shotgun look like uh it was a camouflage no I want to say it was a Benelli or maybe a Beretta I can't remember which brand it is [Music] I don't think it was out here okay recently but I'm not positive and the shotgun that you had when deputies pulled up where did that come come from I went to the house and I got a gun probably overreacting but and was that when you pulled up and saw them no I mean I came out and me and I called 9-1-1 first talked to them for a little while then I told her I told her that I was that I was going to go to the house okay and then I would let authorities know when they got here that I had a gun okay what did you do to do when you went in the office or no I was home I came home Paul and I messed around uh I uh I was up at the house I laid down took a nap on the couch probably I don't know 25 30 minutes I got up I called Maggie didn't get an answer and I left to go to my mom's and she had said she might ride with me but she normally does it when I go over there um and I think I texted her and she's very good about answering the phone so that was odd or calling me back so that was odd but it wasn't that big a deal I don't know what time was that what time was what that you sent her a text message all right um I checked texted her at 908 going to check on M be right back and then I texted her at 9 47 that must be when I started to come back I think I called her before that but let me make sure pretty sure that I called her 9 45 and then I tried Paul and then no I think that was riding and I think that might have been riding over there 1003 I mean my calls are right here yeah so um obviously this is when this is when I at 1006. yes sir ah thank you anybody else want some Bill uh you don't have any water do you Danny I thought I don't need it if you behind Danny's head there's a case of water it's not a big deal yeah I got some trials going on right now yes yep wow it's live on that law and crime Network thing oh really yeah and Court TV and just about everywhere yeah that's cool Incredible let's use their stuff that's we should give them a shout out yeah our stuff below so yep for sure all right Greg what do you got yeah I'm gonna keep this one pretty short he's adapting all the way up until he gets to the point they give him a freebie the minute he gets to where he gets to now go back to the Baseline things are matters of the phone record this is a guy who's smart enough he's been in the business long enough he knows that's a matter of fact he's just going to run through it and Chase I'll use one of your favorites you can tell when he relaxes because he goes to abdominal breathing it's pronounced and they've let him now off the hook his brain is relaxed there's no emotion whatsoever I I still what is missing is a hey can we just hurry can we get back to this instead of talking about all my phone records they're a matter of record here boom that's it Scott what do you got all right I think we're seeing a very subtle change in his Baseline up to what we've seen so far his canes has sped up his voice tones a little bit higher he's the most relaxed he's been so far still no use of that Kleenex stale Garden is growing still doing the same things we talked about at the top his blink rate is is still low everything we talk about the top is still going on at this point and I think it's because like you were saying Greg this is what he envisioned happening he's done now he's gone through his list of stuff that he's supposed to talk about you know and while he begins it starts answering you see him lean back and that head goes back and rests up against the headrest back there he he's relaxing but I think at the same time he's sort of bracing himself against the back of that headrest and his legs start moving back and forth and I think this indicates the stress of this of this specific situation because almost everything changes up to this point and again they're they're very subtle but those are the things we're looking for and listening for and after that he asked him for gum and water you know I think that's it's almost like a reward for himself he's he's crossed the Finish Line he's reached his goal he said everything he's supposed to that he's thought about saying on his list the things he's rehearsed his story we've heard him walk through like you were saying Chase too many details man way too many details for what for what had happened from as we look at this as a whole so I think he feels like he's crossed the finish line and he's like yeah instead of dunking water on himself he's asking for water and he's chewing gum yeah which makes sense because I'm sure his mouth got dry during all that during the nervous parts of it but I think he's relaxed now so that's why he's he's his brain is letting him do things outside the situ of that situation no sobbing no you know what happened no hand ringing nothing we should be seeing in here that that is we're seeing here I guess you'd say Mark what do you got yeah so lots of upward inflection Paul and I messed around probably and and odd so I think he's unsure around the story he's trying to project at this point not quite sure if it's gonna stick then the female officer in the back says ask him something about time then we get a down inflection what time was what so I think he now knows that he's now going to be nailed down to some times I think some of those times some of the phone information is working for him and I think some of it can't be reconciled if I remember rightly I think he he turns and opens the door and kind of spits out the door or maybe even vomits a bit I'm not not quite sure but there's some kind of opening of the door I think and um so I think there's a he can't reconcile some of the he sees some information that he can reconcile on there and there's some stuff that isn't going to work for him and there may be some Panic there so either he has to lean out to block that and have a think about it then comes back looks off to reconcile like how am I gonna how am I gonna deal with this and then the phone goes away uh Chase what do you got on this one I agree with you guys y'all covered a lot of it uh there's more ambiguity insertion here but the way that he points to the call log directly and then mentions it that's interesting to me I'm betting that we find out something is off about this call log the trial is going on right now so I don't think he's been on the stand yet but I'm willing to bet that we find something is interesting about this call log and he calls it out as if it's an offering much like he did with the camouflage shotgun it's an offering well there's something here that you can look at those two things call log and shotgun were the two things that really stood out to where he kind of offered something up to assist the police that is a heavy flag for me that everybody think so Craig won that one stoled it yeah man the hell is that yeah what did you do today were you in the office or no I was home I came home Paul and I messed around uh I uh I was up at the house I laid down took a nap on the couch probably I don't know 25 30 minutes I got up I called Maggie didn't get an answer and I left to go to my mom's and she had said she might ride with me but she normally doesn't when I go over there um and I think I texted her and she's very good about answering the phone so that was odd or calling me back so that was odd but it wasn't that big a deal I don't know what time was that what time was what that you sent her a text message laughs all right um I checked texted her at 908 going to check on M be right back and then I texted her at 9 47 that must be when I started to come back I think I called her before that but let me make sure um pretty sure that I called her 9 45 and then I tried Paul then no I think that was riding and I think that might have been riding over there 1003 I mean my calls are right here yeah so um obviously this is when this is when I at 1006. thank you yes sir ah thank you anybody else want some Bill uh you don't have any water do you Danny I thought I don't need it if you behind Danny's head there's a case of water it's not a big deal yeah I got some um this one's hard but when you first saw Paul you said you tried to flip them over was he laying on his back or on his stomach just like he he just like you were able to move him okay no ma'am okay and did he help Maggie a lot out here with the animals he helped everybody with everything okay so it was kind of routine for him to be out here as well this place is his absolute passion okay I tried to turn him and then I tried and then I checked him and I I mean I I think I already knew but I checked them and when you pulled first pulled into the property did you come from this direction where all our police cars are or which way did you come in I went to the house okay and then I came from the house this way straight here yes ma'am okay I mean where my vehicle was parked it's probably is where it was okay well no maybe not exactly but it was pretty close because I came back the same route that's right because you went back to get your shotgun when I came back all right Greg what do you got yeah just a few things again no grief not in this forehead not in the sides of the mouth look there's lots of ways to show grief you know there's all kinds of ways that people show grief we associate that with grief muscle there's a ton of stuff you can do with your face to show you're sad that you're disappointed something I mean we know we can because we shouldn't use those parts of his face so he's not botoxed out of existence although maybe that's part of it but there's not even concern in his brow none none when she's talking about rolling over your dead child none none this is within moments and I'll say you can be shocked people behave differently but very few people in life Chase combat a guy you don't know you find dead like that that has an impact it has an impact on people there's no renewed emotion no help me he could be talking about a car accident the way he's responded this and then I came out my tail light was busted out it's about what I hear there's no shock at how horrific this is because if I did it I desensitize after I've seen it I probably didn't expect it look my opinion this guy's just talked himself into a hole and and he thinks he's at the end of it because he goes back into Aussie mode he starts doing the yeah yeah yeah thing the head banging thing again I think he feels like he's at two posts at the end of this thing just my opinion just what I see Chase what do you got so this this Aussie thing you're talking about this head nodding at the end here is something I really want to talk about so first we're seeing a repetitive gesture second we're seeing nodding third we're seeing gum chewing another repetitive gesture if we go off of what the The Godfather says Joe Navarro repetitive gestures are self-soothing and he's experiencing a lot of discomfort during this period of of silence and I think unconsciously he's nodding to both self-soothe and to reassure himself that his story is correct and that there's some form of agreement here in the call with him but I had to call the big guns this morning and I wanted to get Joe Navarro's opinion on this so I sent this video to Joe this morning and this is from Joe yeah so the head nodding is unusual I suppose one could argue that he is going over in his mind what he just said and it's almost as though he's in agreement or satisfied with what he just uttered but that's pure conjecture one of the things you can look at is the increase in the speed of chewing if you speed it up you'll see what I mean now that's not indicative of deception but it is indicative of trying to relieve the stress that follows what he just said and I think they couldn't have been said better than uh than Joe said it and that's all I got Mark what do you got yeah lovely um okay I what I see is his hands leaving frame or almost leaving frame which is a bigger gesture than we've normally seen him do uh the cop next to him now I think is is literally revolted by him there's some uh nausea going on uh with him when his hand comes over he looks away he shifts away um the shotgun comes up again uh I think clearly that the journey to the house is important the shotgun is important the the the nodding I would I would agree you know whether it means anything I wouldn't agree with Joe that there's uh self-soothe and a self-soothe around is my story working is this good for me is this gonna work out right for me because I think he's got an officer next to him who he can see is revolted we see uh the perpetrator here or potential perpetrator uh um uh show disgust when they look over and see the the officer revolted so they know it's going badly for them uh at this point Scott what do you got on this one all right uh when she asked him the way about his son the way his son's uh laying again like Greg was saying no emotion he still hasn't teared up and still not using that Kleenex and then after the second questions question there's so much space before anybody says anything that's when he starts talking and starts using or adding qualifiers and trying to tighten the story up trying to trying to make it sound more believable and make it sound stronger then when she asked him which way it came in his illustrators get huge this is the biggest he's used so far the other ones were okay but he hasn't used a lot of illustrations but they get really big maybe because he's thinking about her back there and that's why he's doing that too to illustrate for her but they've been extremely limited up to this point his his voice volume is more relaxed it gets quieter he looks and sounds more relaxed because I think he feels like everything's going well because he's on the impression those officers believe him and that guy sitting next to him that police officer sitting next to him he starts pushing on a smell he's good from now with his lip he's uncomfortable so he knows this isn't right he knows something's not right about this but he's playing in school as he could possibly do it but his body's his body language tails on him like Joe Navarro says you could have a poker face but you can't have a poker body and that's what we're seeing there he's doing all these little things that this guy if he if he'd know what to look for like you do now then he would say whoops I got to start adding some more qualifiers to my answer so I I think they know pretty much and and again if you'll if you'll keep an eye on that that um the woman in the back that that police officer in the back watch her throughout this well now that I know this other guy isn't a copper I'm running the impression that he isn't boy she just really starts going against this guy she starts scooching away I want to look at her from the beginning then to the end to see how far away she scooched away and now that we know that but I think she's uncomfortable uh with him not hard uncomfortable but he keeps eyeing her nose and seeing what she's writing down but he probably believes this guy you know he probably believes Alex so anyway that's all I got be good yeah the eyewitnesses you um this one's hard but when you first saw Paul you said you tried to flip them over was he laying on his back or on his stomach just like he he just like he is you were able to move him okay oh man okay and did he help Maggie a lot out here with the animals he helped everybody with everything okay so it was kind of routine for him to be out here as well this place is his absolute passion okay I tried to turn him and then I tried and then I checked him and I I mean I I think I already knew but I checked them first pulled into the property did you come from this direction where all our police cars are or which way did you come in I went to the house okay and then I came from the house this way straight here yes ma'am okay I mean when my vehicle was parked it's probably is where it was okay well no maybe not exactly but it was pretty close because I came back the same route that's right because you went back to get your shotgun when I came back so up to this point mark what do you think we've been seeing yeah I've never seen anybody so cool in this situation I think I don't know where we are in the in the case right now on this in court but I I'm going to assume that something is going to come up around the journey to the house uh the shotgun is clearly important within this uh I'm I'm gonna research a little bit more on this extraordinary situation of the high school kid and the uh Navy Seals and the uh black panthers it's exciting exciting story uh Chase well this so far is a video I know for a fact that I'm going to be using for training and I'm no expert on the case or forensics or any of the facts of the case but I'm a behavior expert and I think that we're going to see this play out in court much like it did here in the car with the officers it's going to be a very similar thing where the Tells are going to be very similar the Baseline is going to be very similar and I think the Tells are going to repeat themselves in court I don't think he's been on the stand yet I'm not I don't know much about the case Greg has given me most of my education about this case which is very little but it seems like maybe some stress in his life caused some sort of psychotic break of some sort that made this happen but I don't know Greg yeah I don't know what's causing it I don't know any of that let me tell you when we talk about Baseline we're talking about normal at the moment you need only to watch these videos to see great examples the one if you go back where he says wonderful two different ways is a great indicator of why body language matters but more importantly if you listen to everything he says throughout this you'll hear him with a lot a lot a lot of detail about insignificant events and nothing when it matters when you ask him what he did today boom he goes to the phone he's trying to make a record and prove what he's done however if you ask him a question about what's on sale at the Dollar General guarantee you he knows he'll give you all the details about that that is disturbing alone so too much detail when it doesn't matter not enough when it does and massive loud Flags red flags every flag you can imagine when it comes to why did you come out here today did you have a shotgun are there guns out here all those pertinent areas we see massive shifts in body language we see that butterflying we see tapping feet we see touching face we see shrinking You Name It We this is almost like we have a glossary and we're saying hey would you do this for us and he's a trained chimp Scott what do you got this is a great example so far of seeing of not seeing things we're trying to show you what to look for but at the same time this is a great example of the things that we're not saying that you should be seeing so she in other words you're looking for things you're not you're not seeing and so we're not seeing the emotion we should be seeing we're not seeing the the proper rocking we should be seeing with the hands ringing and the crying and things those things are missing all right fellas I think this is another good one and we'll see you next time the behavior panel I think so Jason what do you got no beginning of this clip you're doing a little bit like him Chase so I looked like him too Ah that's funny all right we can wait just take time I'll edit all this out nobody will ever see this man those bars are really dense it's like chewing a whole bag of Gummy Bears oh wait yeah they thought for anyone watching I just want you to make note of Scott's condescending eyebrow race Baseline yeah that's right go ahead are you ready sure if you're ready all right right here in the beginning mm-hmm I'll take it out today we're talking about Alex murdaugh of course we've been we've done a couple of videos on him so far we're sort of going back a little bit and we're actually looking at the interrogation and in this thing you're going to see a lot of things that they're tough to see unless they're pointed out to you this is the small stuff we're always talking about nothing huge but these are things that will that are almost mind-blowing things that you you may not have seen before so you may learn something Greg tell us about the videos we're going to watch yeah so this is a first for us as well because there's an attorney present here he doesn't bring up his voice very often there is an attorney present during an interrogation which is powerful because now it changes the way the investigator has to approach it these videos are the first time he was asked to the police station and this is a sled agent talking to him South Carolina law enforcement Division and this is the first time he's confronted with evidence of that video about him being at the kennels that's an important part of why he was convicted we found out from a juror and then we also find out that the guy he's calling or he is trying to get through to is the guy that that video was sent to roro so it's an important part of this discussion but I also want you to know there's an attorney there and he's interfering at least once there's a lot of subtlety in this one and I think you'll enjoy it wait till the end that's the cliffhanger there is a video on Paul's phone of um you and him playing for him tonight in England khaki pants and a dress shirt playing with a tree [Music] I don't remember playing with a tree I guess there's a tree sapling or something that was had fallen over or bending over and you were trying to get it to stand back stand up but I mean the question in that is when I met you that night you were in shorts and a t-shirt at what point and that evening did you change clothes [Music] I'm not sure uh you know it would have been before dinner or after dinner that would have been what time of day was that I would have thought that already changed there's not a Time is he asking you now what time that picture was yes sir okay go ahead that was that moment because there's so many posts that I want to see it it looks to be about dusk so that would have been 7 30 8 o'clock I guess I changed when I got back to the house [Music] earlier when earlier when we spoke all right Mark what do you got yeah really simple this one but look at the strong difference between Murdo and the interviewer that's more visible there the difference in how set the body language is so murder really closed down you're not going to see him move at all pretty much in this video and the interviewer way more movement happening so just that contrast for me is exciting because I go let's see if that changes let's see if the interviewer can get murdered out to open up his body language or close down even more can one affect the other we can actually see that in the next video so it's pretty quick Chase what do you got on this one yeah so we'll go back to my analysis of just focusing on What's Missing here in a few of these videos what's missing omitted or concealed in every statement that you hear and here he's skipping over the clothing the detective has very clearly Illustrated in this question and in an interrogation of innocent people when they don't know something there's something that you're going to hear from them they're gonna say I don't know and they're going to be comfortable with not knowing the information and when you see guilty people in an interrogation they're always more willing to negotiate details and Nuance because of their need to appear helpful but innocent people have no problem most of the time talking about remembering these details so we're going to focus on this and oh in the coming videos we're going to talk we're going to actually teach you about interrogation and some of the secrets of how that stuff works looking forward to that Scott all right from a body language perspective uh he's pretty much batting down the hatches this is for the person who doesn't know much about body language this is one of those few times when you see crossed arms that it means what you think it means he's he's just completely locked down he's got his arms crossed he's got his legs crossed everything's tight he's not moving much he's trying to stay in control because he's being put on the spot he doesn't know what these guys know yet doesn't know what the questions are going to be so he's got to be very careful careful so he's paying attention to that all right uh Greg what do you got yeah guys you know I'm kind of the priest of baselining it's what matters most to me what you're going to see is something we taught guys resisting interrogation to never do and that's created an artificial posture you can't maintain and what he's doing is coming in all locked down because he thinks he can control his body language this guy who's questioning him and does a great job of soft pedaling some questions and hard peddling others so that he fuels the pressure at times now if you there's a couple other things to note here this is a low pressure interrogation one of the few you're going to see that's this calm and this contained and very little pressure what we know is if I put high pressure on you and introduce facts they can become memories so he doesn't have that as a defense because nobody forced anything on him that's not what's going on he looks terribly frightened he's doing this because he's fishing and you watch him you'll be able to tell when he's looking for information they have and he's starting off when he is locked down this whole way where he doesn't move at all he's looking for a way to contain everything he's doing but then he adapts and rocks as they ask him about that video when we say adapting we mean he's releasing nervous energy for him we saw this on the stand but this is a very different him on the stand because he has not yet discovered to be the guilty party or claimed but when they bring up the video and ask him what time he asked what time of the day was that he's fishing to see if they have the video that was taken of him we also know that he said I was going to do something with Paul's phone at the site I wonder what he was going to do with Paul's phone maybe he knew this was an incriminating video he was trying to get away from it we can't tell that what we can tell is he is fishing he's locked he almost looks like a photo through the entire thing and when you see that Baseline deviation you're going to know something has changed and by that I this is why I always say you were sitting on the couch eating Cheetos Baseline is not what we're looking for we're looking for what you're advertising when you come in the door and how much deviation occurs this is a great start if you guys hear me swallow earlier how loud that was because there is a video on Paul's phone of um you and him from that night in England khaki pants and a dress shirt you've been playing with some tree [Music] I don't remember playing with a treat yeah I guess there was a tree sapling or something that was they've fallen over or bending over and you were trying to get it stand back stand up but I mean the question in that is when I met you that night you were in shorts and a t-shirt at what point and that evening did you change clothes [Music] I'm not sure uh you know it would have been before dinner or after dinner that would have been what time of day was that I would have thought I had already changed there's not a Time is he asking you now what time that picture was yes sir okay go ahead that was that moment because there's so many posts um that I want to see it's it looks to be about dusk so that would have been 7 30 8 o'clock I guess I changed when I got back to the house [Music] earlier when earlier when we spoke [Music] and Maggie was heard in the background and you were her in the background it was prior to none yeah uh Rogan Gibson asked me if I was up there and he said he thought it was me was it you and and at nine o'clock yes sir no sir not if my times are right and Rogan's been around your family for pretty much all of his life absolutely and he recognizes your voice and you have a distinct voice of anybody else that has the boys somewhere divorced that he may have misinterpreted yes sir I mean he foreign yes sir so when you return back to the Kilns when you return home from your numbers all right Greg what do you got this is why we tell you not to come in with a wonky Baseline because you see he's been locked down now watch that thumb he's got a I think he has a tissue in that hand if you watch him he's just wearing the hell out of that tissue Scott at your point he never uses it for tears but he sure is adapting on it it's a tissue or something else kind of like a kid has a wubby or something and they play with it all the time and they feel stressed all of us do something when he's asked the question about nine o'clock he distances gives himself a split second to answer by saying at nine o'clock then you see the rocking and his foot pressing on the floor that's a lot when you came in lock down as tight as he was that's why you don't do that and why you can't hide something chase you always talk about politeness spikes there's definitely a deferential sir at no it's not just no sir it's no sir and I cannot think of anyone else there's no protest in this guy at all at being accused of being and this is accusation by question we all do it in the interrogation room is there any reason you call it bait questions and in regular intelligence interrogation we'll call it put on notice by question there's all kinds of things you may call that but he is being accused by question and he's not defiant he's not indignant his chin is not out and there's no eye locked that makes me go hmm why is this guy doing this Scott what do you got all right so we see these changes leg positions and he's loosened up just a little bit that's because he's he's eased up that that first part I think is is obviously at the beginning so he's really really tense at this point or up to that point now he's sort of relaxed not relaxed but he's letting go just a little bit so he's gone from guarding his stomach and and keeping that down to guarding his genitals which we saw in the car as well so I think he's realized uh from a body language perspective since the fight is on now and he knows it is he's got to look and sound like he's being honest so I think he's in a small way I think he's taken into consideration what he looks like just a little bit not much but just a little bit more so he's not as uh as uh squinched up as he was and like you said Greg a lot going on with that thumb and forefinger man looks like he's almost like playing a air banjo and his voice is quiet there are no big pops of of uh voice volume and his tone doesn't jack up or anything he's focused so he's he's going in fairly steady at this point and then after the question comes about the time of his whereabouts his head goes into that that Bobble thing where he's saying where his head is yes and no one's spinning around I think if we didn't understand what that was we'd see that more as confusion because I think he's he's sorting out what he's going to say and being very careful to how he says it which is important to him because now he's got to remember everything thing he's saying because as far as we know something may have changed in the story he prepared to this story now that's what it looks like because there's a whole lot of thinking going on in there taking the stress he's experiencing from the interrogator in consideration yeah but it looks like a little bit more than that to me um I'll leave it there mark what do you got yeah so we're all in agreement that that he was choosing to do this Behavior I think we're probably right to say he's choosing to do that because he wants to lock it down he wants to be in control and this is now 10 minutes later and he's changed and I think that is a result of the interview that's going on in the interviewer the interviewer has managed to get some element of change out of him I reckon I could do this all day if I really really wanted to unless there's something else occupying my mind that I then forget to do this and start to do behaviors which are more unconscious to me and so to your point Scott I think this protection of the primary sexual characteristics which we're now seeing is more unconscious behavior of him so if the interviewer has done anything here yes it's caused him to have to think about other elements that are going on most likely the story that he's telling and so we're getting more unconscious rather than conscious Behavior out of him so another con unconscious Behavior we're seeing is that thumb move which yes is partly adaption on the uh on the on the tissue or handkerchief that's there but also we're seeing it as a baton gesture as well a gesture that moves along to the rhythm of his speech although it doesn't it doesn't quite Move Along exactly to The rhythms of his speech the Baton gesture the bat on the conducting is incongruent with the Rhythm so I'm going to suggest you know go back take a look at how incongruent the rhythm of that thumb is have a listen to what he's talking about and then think to yourself is it incongruent because there's extra stress and pressure around this particular element that he's talking about is what he's talking about right now is this going to end up being absolutely consequential to the case is it important data is he unconsciously signaling how important this element of the story that is most likely creating is but look at that really subtle changes ultimately that we can start to think about and think what is the consequence of this further down the line Chase what do you got on this one yeah you guys covered a lot I'll just cover one more thing here when he says no sir not if my times are right I want you to pay attention to that the qualifier here is one of the biggest red flags you can possibly get as an interrogator and I'll tell you why here there is a known piece of information that any reasonable human being could answer from memory were you down there were you present during this video so when he makes the denial it's about time instead of memory and this is where an interrogator would be asking something like are you certain that your times are even correct or right and then the Temptation for most people to jump onto this deception is almost irresistible and instead I think it's best to accumulate these mistakes in red flags over a period of time especially with people like this if you read the average interrogation training it's going to tell you that undetected lying is rewarding but in cases like this where there's lots of rehearsal and stuff you want to get a mountain of this kind of stuff so in interrogations like this especially when you're interrogating an attorney confessions are extremely unlikely so your job here is the interrogator instead is to develop these red flags and the moment you call someone out on one of those a wall starts building so you don't do that you keep pouring water on these little red flag seeds so they become bigger red flags that the jury can watch during the replay it's all again same thing's true in intelligence exactly [Music] and Maggie was here in the background and you were her in the background it's prior to none yeah uh Rogan Gibson asked me if I was up there who said he thought it was me was it you yeah at nine o'clock yes sir no sir not if my times are right communities and equipment I have no idea and Ruby's been around your family for pretty much all his life and absolutely and he recognizes your voice and you have a distinct voice I think of anybody else that has always made of yes sir I mean he you know when we were talking he had asked me that so you know maybe he had told me because I did not surprise him yes sir so when you return back to the Kilns when you return home from your numbers and at one point in the 911 call you say here you're talking to somebody else or something else I say here and here yes so the dispatcher is asking you if they're breathing and you said no and she asked if you did you see anyone else in the area and you said no she asked about guns near them and you said no and then you kind of stutter and start moving around and you sit here I don't have any memory of saying that I guess I have to listen to it to uh you know but I don't recall a dog being out I'm certain that there was not a dog out um [Music] you know I mean there's other things people have told me about that 9-1-1 call that I don't remember um I I don't know here like I was calling a dog calling a dog talking to somebody else I don't know that's why I'm asking and obviously was nobody else out there and I'm certain that it was not a dog loose [Music] but I don't remember saying anything about Buster would never um it's only about three hours I was asked about that later if I had information about what a buster had information about threats that I said he would know would know um all right Chase what do you got so right here I think the detective makes a mistake in searching for the papers about the word here h-e-r-e so in interrogations it's it's really tempting to want to do this like oh I have the evidence right here but there's no need to illustrate that it's on paper somewhere but you can see that Murdoch takes advantage of this to buy time so he's trying to find that when the question is clear concise and perfect he should not have to re-qualify himself I think that takes away from his authority or his perceived Authority in the interrogation room and I think second you're seeing another brilliant and giant red flag here and this is what I call diving for details and whether a dog is out or not of a cage or a kennel is beyond irrelevant but Murdoch makes an effort to very carefully examine his memory to determine if a dog was out or not so when you see this level of detail about relevant details those are probably green flags they're indicators you're talking to someone who's probably innocent or being honest when you see the denial or the sorry you see this detail diving into Nuance minutia relevant Hollow details like this you're seeing something that should scare you pretty bad as an interrogator so if we stick with the what's missing technique we're seeing loads of detail about stuff but the detail is missing around the victims the timelines the clothing everything relevant to the case has no detail and everything irrelevant and meaningless he spends tons of time talking about and detailing the little answers around those Scott what do you go all right on the playback let's pay really close attention Mark brought up earlier of that detective's body language compared to Murdoch's body language the the detectives is really fluid it's big he's using big illustrators and and talking fairly slow and his tone stays even everything's good and then murder whose brain is on fire with I'm trying to keep up with everything that's happening watch watch him like Greg said earlier he's it's almost like a picture or a mannequin he's just sitting there nothing moves much at all we still see a little bit of the the thumb happening but he's running scenarios in his head and what if it goes this way what if he goes that way or if he goes this way then the I I thought the I saw the the plays looking for the for the uh the papers Chase I saw that more as as it just trying to take up time between questions to help build that tension that's where I went but I see what you're saying that makes sense but I I think in there we saw a great example after he finished asking the question how he would sit there and look at him where he would pretend like he was doing something else and just let Murdoch talk and talk they'd stop they need to add more stuff and he'd stop and add and that's a technique you use and you can use it at home on your kids you ask where have you been and they tell you did you go to so-and-so's place and you they say yeah I went to her house or his house and you just keep doing this don't look like this but look normal and see what else they give you see if they'll keep talking see if they give a little bit more information they may they may not they may they may say why are you acting so weird most likely they won't do that because they're going to be thinking whoops they don't believe me whoops they don't believe me which goes back to the the when you when someone's talking to you and they break eye contact most people are in the impression that person is lying to you whereas we know now that the person who doesn't break eye contact with you a huge percentage of that says that they are lying to because their brain wants to keep an eye on you to make sure you believe them and if they if you don't believe them they'll start adding qualifiers and this is a version of that but it's it's a more advanced version of that what the detective is doing he's not looking for qualifiers he's just looking for this guy to spill more information that's how it looks to me Greg what do you think what do you got yeah so a couple things Chase while I agree with you that is from the mechanical side and the pure fact the an important part of how you go after that information you also have to remember I trained a lot of interrogators in my life and it's all about this is an art form and it has to fit the person so that guy probably has got enough under his belt he feels comfortable doing it a certain way and I've had interrogators who had the I called it the bundling Colombo method that would rifle through things and just clean house others who can't do that and so I think it depends on the person and I would say that all of this stuff and we're all on the same page all this stuff is an art form every one of us has our own art and style and the way we do it it also is theater for one so you have to be believable to that guy if you know that guy if you've had exposure to him you have a different approach so I you know I want to know what the guy's thinking when he's doing this I'd love to talk to you if you're there and your list thing to us we'd love to talk to you about what you're thinking while you're interrogating murder another couple of interesting things for me that when he's doing that dog thing to me that's a Chaffin redirect he's looking for every opportunity he can because this guy and if you don't know what Chaffin redirect is with us it's when I spew you slits information for you to pick up and follow and we get people in the comments always saying this stuff doesn't work well if you're talking about absolutes and you touch your nose yeah it doesn't work we interrogate for a living so it's one of many skill sets all the body language we're talking about the behavior is another layer the questioning all the theater stuff that he's doing all those are layers of this approach and what we prey on this guy's been sitting in a vacuum deconflicting his story since he killed these people he has no idea what they know and now he's starting to find out and they're poking he's got to deconflict on the Fly Scott and chase you both brought it up he's starting to feel a little stressed because now he knows something he didn't know when he came in when they questioned him about this 9-1-1 call I call this extra edit info because when a person is writing if you have been around long enough that's used email all the time you would edit your email and you'd have junk at the end you'd delete that a lot of times when people are deconflicting their story before they go on 9-1-1 they're gonna have words flowing through their head they've practiced and practiced and practiced and then that last word that dropped out there might make no sense whatsoever none and so anytime I hear that I go that's a push-pull word for me something I want to grab and pull last I'll say and there's a bunch in here but the last one I'll point out there's a poor camera angle but I think he does a regulator and we talk about a regulator being a way to control conversation look at his head fish for information as to whether the Guy believes him or not pay really close attention see if you agree with me if you don't if you think it's just some anomaly put that in the notes too do you think all this doesn't work don't ever go into an interrogation without a lawyer because it does work Mark what do you got yeah what I love about this is is both of the major players here are good enough more than good enough or experienced enough that we're able to look at the real subtleties that are going on here and kind of go well I wonder if the tactic here is this or it's this I'm going to split the difference on the tactic here and it's to do with the Rhythm I think the initial element there of looking for that piece of data is is real because because I think he's actually searching for the piece of data and he doesn't quite know where it is and I picked that up from how fast that and indirect that rhythm is then he slows it down because I think he goes you know what as I'm looking for this I may as well play it now my bias would be I would play even bigger and even longer but you know that's my exhibitionism there you know how much can I turn up the heat even more by making this last a lot lot longer on this but you know everybody's got their own idea their own style they're going to do what they're going to do in this situation regardless of what the reality is I think this interrogation this questioning has him now locked in a new position he's now locked in this new what was an unconscious position uh maybe he's locked unconsciously maybe he's locked himself now consciously and gone okay stay with this stay covered up in this area because once again he's he's locked down and he's using I don't know I don't remember and he's not moving and he's not responding in any big way so isn't that wonderful started off lockdown interrogator managed to open him up really by getting him to change position get him on the back foot a little bit and now he's locked himself down uh again so where's this gonna go next I'm interested to find out there that's all I got on that one the eyewitness is you and at one point in the number one call you say here like you're talking to somebody else or something else I say here here [Music] so the dispatcher is asking you if they're breathing and you said no and she asked if you did you see anyone else in the area and you said no she asked about guns near them and you said no and then you kind of stutter and start moving around and you sit here I don't have any memory of saying that I guess I have to listen to it you know but I don't recall a dog being out I'm certain that there was not a dog out um [Music] you know I mean there's other things people have told me about that 9-1-1 call that I don't remember um I I don't know here like I was calling a dog call my dog talking to somebody else I don't know that's why I'm asking and that obviously was nobody else out there and I'm certain that it was not a dog loose [Music] loose but I don't remember saying anything about Buster would know um it's all about three hours I was asked about that later if I had information about what a buster had information about threats and I said um foreign [Music] there was a bird shot and a bug shot my Jeff went back the next day I'm not sure which attorney everyone just pointed out that they're having a shotgun laying on the pool table that he didn't put away and pointed out that ammunition that was with that and it was a buck shot and a bird shot and then the shotgun that we took for potential comparison it was also loaded with the first shot and a buck shot so I have all of these consistent lubes along with what's up in the feed room I call it a fever of a panda chemist is that what you call it that's that's something [Music] that I could get my hands on I I don't you know I had no idea exactly what I had okay also when we talked um I asked you if it was normal to keep you guys down in the counties and you said you would have to check have you been able to check to see what was missing from your collection I have yes I know what's missing from what I believe is missing from from our guns and one of those there's there's three guns that I think are missed okay and what kind of guns are those it would be a finale shotgun a Browning shotgun and a pump shotgun [Music] finale in the Browning are automatic and the pump shotgun what brand is that I believe it's a remix but I'm not positive or the old are they like standard brown and black all black or camel um the uh today is black the Browning is camo and the pope is Canada all right Greg Mighty God yeah so let's start off Chase back to your point about what his style is because he has a very specific Style and what he's doing is he's walking it very slowly and going at him if you want to know here's the one that I think he could have just torn him a new one right here but he didn't he chooses to hold off the guy says I when that night when I picked up ammunition to load the shotgun I don't have any idea what I picked up well it do you find it a random coincidence that this guy had an empty shotgun in his house the rest of them weren't clearly but he went and got exactly the same ammo and loaded it that these people were killed with hold on now you could that could right there be enough of a rift if there's not an attorney there for us to have our feet squarely under us and go at him hard and interrogation often to chase this point will go they'll wait until they get this big blunder they'll let one pass they'll get this big blunder and then they'll tear the scab off in his case he doesn't he's a little bit more meticulous which makes me think his style and we'd love to talk to you again I forget his I think it's Davis it's his last name but if you know and I'm wrong and you know this guy please ask him to come talk to us we'd love to talk to him listen to his style now I Mark you started off by talking about the difference in the two of them everybody in the room's moving along normally scratching Milling he's locked down tight again now he's back to his resistance to interrogation idea that's not how it really works by any any means guys the two of us who were resistance trained would tell you there's no way I would ever go in lockdown it's a dumb way to move this I love the way the agent goes in with a slow delivery at the reason I am asking is and he's moving look when you get a guy close to confession you always slow that language down because you bring them down a notch you lower your voice and it brings them down he does something masterful here masterful whether he did it intentionally or not I love it he asked a question that is non-pertinent and non-pertinent questions are the most lethal questions in interrogation the reason is because a guy has no reason to lie so what is he going to do he's going to do what's normal and he does he raises that hand to illustrate now we know how he normally responds to an easy question he's happy to answer that because he feels like he's being helpful which is what most bad guys do but his feet and thumb are moving and he here he goes again that night when he's talking about grabbing shells you could say this is a missed opportunity I think it's a great opportunity for him to go at the guy then he squeezes that arm as he slowly answers the description of the shotgun why not it was a camouflage shotgun 12 gauge Remington because something's up uh Chase what do you got yeah uh so one thing in interrogations and we're going to talk about some of the good some of the bad here and any of the criticisms that we offer about the interrogation or the techniques are not on the officer the training is lacking in a lot of departments so we're not making any judgments about the officer there in particular but one thing that's that's true about interrogations the more people that are in the room the less likely you are to get a confession period and that's proven time and time again but when he's talking about the missing guns there's a complete loss of fluency where he's having trouble putting sentences together there's hedging and qualifying um saying between it's missing or I believe was missing and then he says our guns the big emphasis on our guns wondering what that means the emphasis is extremely unusual and his characteristic nodding as a hint if you see this he is lying so that is his personal tell uh like I showed you or all of us showed you in the squad car video before the trial even started so that you could look for it in the trial as the footage came out and I think finally in this clip he is locked on so when he's asked these detail questions he doesn't look away when you ask a normal person to recall some details their eyes will move to recall what gun it was what it looked like in their head sometimes will move with their eyes so they'll do this normally and this is this head and eye lock is indicative of deception especially when it's piled up with this giant cluster of all these other indicators which Greg you've covered so many of and Liars are more likely to do this when they lie because they're subconsciously trying to look more factual and believable so honest people need to move their eyes and head to recall details and one more thing he does here and you'll hear this in his voice he transitions into what sounds like a fifth grader reading a paper in front of a class and this is two-factored one he's unknowingly doing this to sound more clear and believable but he's not doing it consciously his brain's doing this behind the scenes two he's doing this because he's trying to look Honest by speaking in a slowed pace and in my interrogation courses we call this a shift to clinical language it's actually the sister or very closely related to another thing we talk about called pronoun absence or when the pronouns disappear from a person's language or answers Mark yeah so now I believe we have some self-soothing on the elbow here now why is that important because you know why might it be more important than say some self-soothing on the arm or on the forearm was I say you know as much as I possibly can this is a vulnerable area on the body the knuckles are vulnerable the wrist is vulnerable this uh elbow area is vulnerable if those areas get damaged you lose the use of way more of your of your arm if this gets damaged here well you've still got your shoulder you still got the elbow you've still got the wrist so you know the more vulnerable a joint is yeah Chase when you you came down to Virginia you and I were having a glass of wine and you taught me about this and you were telling me about it and I was internally processing going well yeah I guess that makes sense and while I was like trying to see oh is that true or not you grabbed my elbow and I had a visceral response to it and it was so different so it is a I have told this to so many people since you taught me this so sorry I just wanted to put that in there right it's so true right yeah yeah I thought you were getting the shits and giggles and I was getting ready to go man that's when you had that smile on your face I thought what about this it must be good sorry go ahead yeah if you really want to annoy somebody grab their elbow take control of their elbow take control of their wrist just take their finger and just take a joint of it and mess around with the joint it'll super super annoy them so look that's why this is of Interest more than this or this because it's way more protectionist I would say now here's one last thing that's interesting me we've got this kind of almost rocking back and forth but certainly the head moving back and forth now what is that about here's what I'm gonna tell you I don't know for sure what that's about but I'm gonna give you all the options I can come up with very quickly in my mind and it won't be all the options out there and what you need to do is somebody who's interested in number communication and looking at situations and going what is the truth of this is you've got to go well what if it's this or what if it's that or maybe it's this or maybe it's that and get those clusters together could be compliance could be a yes and he's just he's not saying yes to everything he's just trying to show compliance it could be self-soothing could be soothing himself it could be a barrier gesture it could be him trying to BL you know take away everything out there and just moving his body in order that no other information can come in almost a kind of a trance-like state in fact Greg um Scott you probably I think that's probably what you call the transfer State because look uh if you go um if you go and see dervishes for example or you go to the Wailing Wall go to the Wailing Wall and see the movement in front of the Wailing Wall it's a trance State movement so you literally com can change the way your mind is functioning by simply moving your head up and down it's like twirling round and round and round and round and round well change the state of your mind the whirling dervishers do that try it out try it out but um but make sure that all the furniture is moved apart because you'll probably fall over Greg what's your thought mark one last thing to add to that this guy had a serious opiate addiction and neural Pathways ten thousand strikes they get to be a habit who knows how many times he rocked absolutely so for sure I've got I've got down here drug use it can come with drug use I used to work with a lot of heroin addicts myself and you would see it you would see it a lot depending on on what state they were in had they used recently had they not used recently enough um it could be stimming so could be neurodivergent or diverse or neuro atypical or a whole bunch of other things do I know which one it is well I can make my guess and then I can test my guests as we go along but the important thing is is it's a guess you're making your best guess now on all the information you have to be intelligent and then you're testing that guess to get closer to the truth and you might well get there but you don't do it with this always equals that it's all possibility it's all a state of of maybe and you might go well Mark that just means you you know nothing you have no absolutes and it's not having the absolutes that makes you way more intelligent and gets you to the truth quicker I would say uh who we got left on this sir Scott yeah all right okay I'm left with nothing so I I'll go with the an old review still locked down that I think the constant bobbing back and forth obviously that's indicative of stress and I think he's he's trying to agree with everything at the same time while he's trying to stay locked down at the same time he's blown off that built up stress and tension so I think that's several things the same time Mark I agree with you yeah and he's getting these little bits and pieces of of information from the detective because he's he's slowed down he's talking slow he's not giving him very much it looks like he's getting ready to paint this big picture of here's what's going on but he doesn't give him much at all and that's driving him nuts because he's usually the guy in charge he's the guy that tells you what to do he's the boss of everything apparently so far so this is driving him Bonkers as he's trying to get through this um and that's why he's locked down so hard as well because he I'm sure he wants to scream because this guy's not giving information quick enough and and then again the only movement outside that again is that thumb and obviously we talked about being an adapter because of the timing he's using and all that all right so I'll leave it there since most everything's gone already I'm asking about that the shot shells that we recovered at night it was a Turkey Loop my mom's Buckshot I don't understood that the shotgun that you had with you that night there was a bird shot and a bug shot when Jeff went back the next day I'm not sure which attorney everyone just pointed out that there have been a shotgun laying on the pool table that he had put away and pointed out that ammunition that was with that and it was a buck shot and a bird shot and then the shotgun that we took for potential comparison it was also loaded with the first shot and a buckshot so I have all of these consistent lubes along with what's up in the feed room I call it a fever of appendicular is that what you call it that's something [Music] that I could get my hands on I I don't you know I had no idea exactly what I had okay also when we talked um I asked you if it was normal to keep you guys down to the counters and you said you would have to check have you been able to check to see what was missing from your collection I have yes I know what's missing from what I believe is missing from from our guns and one of those there's there's three guns that I think are missing okay and what kind of guns are those it would be a Benelli Shotgun a Browning shotgun and a poke shotgun [Music] finale and the Browning are automatic and the thump shotgun what brand is that I believe it's a Remington but I'm not positive one of the old chubby like standard brown and black all black or Canada um the uh today is is black the Browning is camo and the pope is Canada thank you and and that's you know we've talked about the shot shells so the cartridge casings were 300 Blackout marches Haitians that were found in America there were also cartridge stations found by your house by the side door to the Gun Room and at the shooting range we're now asking about shell casings that were found by Maggie that's Maggie's body correct the the cartridge cases yes had he ever been confronted with this information prior to right now that you know not that I'm aware of okay okay I believe he was but um not by me I don't think I left the magnet there were also cartridge casings found by your house by the side door to the Gun Room and at the shoot shooting range and the ones by the house and some of the ones found in the shoot range our confirmed matches to the ones found by Maggie so which gives another concern I've got the same load as the shot shells and multiple guns and 300 Blackout that match ones down under property so you now believe that does not pause guns where he needs yes okay and missing and I understand somebody had seen that gun recently but you know and I'd ask Buster about it um I believe that that gun has been gone since back before Christmas um Nolan no one recalls Paul's first 300. going missing around Halloween at a party at Hampton Halloween of 2020 and when did y'all know that because it was whatever all right Chase what he got I like the level of composure here in the interrogator so it's not this confrontational thing I have done training in police departments I will not say which ones but I'm done training in police departments where they just they didn't have any training so they just did what they saw on TV and I'm not joking that's they don't have training for the department so they just copy this aggressive behavior but let's talk about what's missing here what's missing is a any denial even remotely mentioning that these guns were involved in the crime and I'm talking about Murdoch here a single mention of the guns that were used in the crime or an acknowledgment that it looks bad or the biggest one of all some kind or some hint of confidence so his body is in full blocking he's curdling protecting the brachial arteries under the arm protecting the groin and femoral arteries there's abdominal protection there and if there's one thing if you go on YouTube and type in a compilation of people getting the crap scared out of them like somebody pops out of a trash can and all that you'll see the same reaction at every person all the arteries start getting protected the shoulders come up and we're just kind of seeing that here in permanent form and just for me lastly at the end of his statements you'll hear a vocal noise that's not language at all just kind of a uh coming out of his mouth and this is maybe a vocal exhaust it's letting off stress but secondary to this I think it's a desire to build some confidence to reassure himself that he is in charge or that he can speak up when he wants to not a lot of time to get into that but too many people in the room the less likely you are to get a confession pens and paper having a pen and paper open and on the table taking notes while a person is talking reduces the likelihood of confession having a gun on your belt or having multiple people in the room with guns make confessions less likely the arresting or involved officer conducting the interview makes it exponentially less likely for confession uh but they did do well by not having on a uniform because the uniform also reduces likelihood of confession so Greg what do you got yeah two things number one indicator that he's not going to confess those to me chases he's got an attorney sitting there who'd say shut up if you're done with that right that's exactly but you're right look Dr Phil says it best nobody confesses in a crowd and he's dead on it's that's an intimate thing when you're talking to somebody let me tell you two things that in my all my years of interrogating I never I realized the person who is guilty is capable of acting like they're Innocent but people who are innocent have a hard time acting like you're guilty and by that I mean if I'm innocent and you accuse me some I'll come up in my chair and come at you I may say something at least but I'm going to be indignant often the guy who isn't is the most helpful little bastard you're ever going to meet in your life and he's going to go to front of the mouth talking you'll always hear me say that and this guy does it he goes okay and he does fading facts and does that kind of front of the mouth talking you hear it and all the time when people are trying to be solicitous and try to get information out of you I'll leave that part there and I'm just going to run down a list of things I see here and let you decide what it means to you his respiration is up watch his chest his free hand is adapting meaning this hand that's off to the side is adapting the hand that's here is squeezing the hell out of the arm he's doing his Ozzy Osbourne move as we talked about before he starts to chaff and redirect and when he does you see his feet dance and his Cadence slow and then he hits a bunch of ums we say no single indicator of deception but a damn pile of deception like that seeing a whole lot of indicators mean something to me Mark what do you got yeah well actually that front of the mouth talking Greg I'm worried that you're trying to steal my Penelope Pit Stop impression there it's getting out awfully glow getting awfully close I'm a little bit I'm a little bit worried and a little bit nervous about about my property uh on that one uh now look um uh what I really love about this because I agree with you chase that that the interviewer here um is is doing a really subtle calm interview compared to you know the classic TV idea of an interrogation it's it's nothing like you'd expect if you've seen all those TV interviews and at the same time he has got bigger with his gestures so that points to me Scott to what you were saying I think he's getting a little impatient to maybe a little excited about this I think he can see somebody who's locked themselves down and is giving a few indicators of the stress that he's under and he's seeing the the impression that his questions have and so there's going to be an edge of excitement there that I think we're seeing in the gestures and at the same time all of us want things to move along a lot quicker like all of us want a result and I think even though he's got to know that he's there with a lawyer and he's not gonna get any confession and there's other people in there and and you know it's it's unlikely he's got you know you'd want it all the same wouldn't you you'd want that moment and I think that's what we're seeing in those big gestures is a level of wanting to move this along and the excitement of it so so you know impatience and excitement I see there in the interviewer now the subject here we see some footstamps we see it because we see the the knee move and and very directly down down down I want you to go back and have a listen to what he was talking about well when he's doing those suppressive gestures with his foot and then think around the case and think was that information was what's being talked about around there did it become pertinent to the case did it was it was it information that anybody who has perpetrated a crime would want suppressed but they're not able to say shut up be quiet don't talk about that I don't want to answer questions on that I don't want that information but unconsciously he's stamping down on that I think I think that might be the case uh who we got left Scott me yeah you guys Dan covered everything but I agree with you chase and I when you when you go train and then you run into somebody let's say you go to a different town and then you get pulled over and they off police officers where do I know you from you say well I do this this and oh wait no you trained you trained Us in interrogation and then you say well how's everybody doing and they always have that one guy that didn't listen you know he only went through things one time you know or he's using his read technique the wrong way and they'll say this was you know those guys get on my nerves the ones that don't pay attention and really mess things up for somebody that so I I know where you're coming from that that really gets on my last nerve I don't get I get worked if I get into that and before we get finished with this let me just add this in here and this is about Greg Greg would you mind doing that frontal mouth voice and just say the ABCs in it yes please sure yeah later let's hear it now let's go ahead and do it I don't know if I can hey please take a shot d e f g there you go that's good enough okay let's see let's hear it man do the alphabet I'm done I did it oh dude remember you got two times still that would have been so good anyway but now it's got that Kleenex out and he's goofing around with that the whole time and it's and his his adapting thing is really really working up a little bit here and I'm sure he's been using it to wipe his fake tears and his you know his fake runny nose and all that stuff like we saw in that initial car video this is there I think Marx is the one brought that up um and then there's such little head movement that again he looks almost like a mannequin and it's very odd to see something like that out in the wild or see something normal so you automatically like Greg always goes back to you this is just it's weird because he's just Frozen and talking you don't see that very often from someone who is a uh is a normal as far as um the brain goes you don't see that very often um but he but he looks almost like a mannequin and so that's I think you guys have covered everything I'm going for it here I'm trying to find something to go over but I got nothing so then I could do it but it'd be boring so the eyewitness is you and and that's you know we were talking about the shot shells so the cartridge casings were 300 Blackout cartrifications that were founded by America there were also cartridge casings found by your house by the side door to the Gun Room and at the super shooting range we're now asking about shell casings that were found by Imagine that's Maggie's body correct the the cartridge cases yes had he ever been confronted with this information prior to right now that you know not that I'm aware of okay okay I believe he was but um not by me I don't think American there were also cartridge casings found by your house by the side door to the Gun Room and at the shoot shooting range in the ones by the house and some of the ones found at the shoot range our confirmed matches to the ones found by Maggie okay yeah so which gives another concern I've got the same load as the shot shells and multiple guns and 300 Blackout that match one style of your property so you now believe that does God kind of toss guns where he needs yes okay and missing and I understand if somebody had seen that gun recently but you know and I'd ask Buster about it um I believe that that gun has been gone since back before Christmas um Nolan no one recalls Paul's first 300 going missing around Halloween at a party at Hampton Halloween of 2020 and when did y'all know that because it was whatever another part in the 911 call you made the comment I should have known [Music] and the questioning that surrounded you know dispatchers asking is anybody else supposed to be at the house and you said no ma'am please hurry and she says we're getting somebody out there to you and your next comment was I should have known what are you referencing in that statement I don't remember saying that but I guess you know all the threats and you know and I've been convinced it just was something to do with the boat wreck and you know [Music] all of that [Music] allergic physical with you never get into a heated argument to get physical one time I mean a little bit where he wouldn't listen to me did you ever get physical with him yes sir something else matters to Paul get physical to make it yeah I'm sure she probably wanted to at times she wanted to do with all of us [Music] and the one time Paul did that he had had too much to drink um in a very isolated incident where was that was that a Moselle or kind of stuff that was at Moselle that was pretty recent no sir it's a good man a while when you turned all over in his cell phone pop out you can pick it up your statement was something like um thought about doing something but then I'll put it back down and that was the interview our first interview what were your intentions I don't know I mean it when I when I went up killing and the phone came out of having intentions of doing anything with the phone all right Mark what do you got yeah so um what's interesting now is this interview we're seeing a lot of uh adapting there a lot of trying to manage I believe you know his own stress around this and this is tricky for anybody anybody I mean just put yourself in a position where you are interviewing somebody else for a job so it's not even it's not even an interrogation like this you're interviewing somebody for a job and you want to do a really good job because you want to make sure that you get the right person for it you're gonna be under stress and the interviewer here is under stress as well and here's where we're seeing this person manage their own stress at this time I think managing it very very well but but it's more marked at this point than a lot of the body language from the subject though there is some good stuff from the subject in just in just one moment uh now also we see him go and adapt at the papers as well he moves around the papers for no real reason I don't think he's doing it for dramatic effect he's just trying to find something to do to deal with his stress around this um so you know the question is is like you know how do you manage your stress in these situations because everybody feels it and everybody needs not only training in how to get information out of people but training in how to manage yourself in that interview so that you don't you know corrupt it with your own problems in there okay here's what's happening in the subject when I went up to him there's then a change in that Baseline that he's now established he's locked into and he goes to protect his knee and barriers again the knee really important joint on the body if the knee gets damaged you're in big trouble I dislocated my knee uh about six seven eight months ago or something like that and it's hard to walk like it's hard to walk when you so you don't want that Lit that that joint you know damaged in any way so under stress and pressure the knee is an area we also see people will go down and touch the ankle Prince Harry does that he'll go down and touch his ankle zero reason to do it there's nothing wrong with his foot he's done the foot's not going to disappear anywhere but he kind of thinks you can't it's a habit that he's got into you won't be able to see me adapting on my ankle again tricky joint he then goes on to say I didn't have any intention of doing anything with the phone so here's what I'd say because he protects the knee he did have some intention of doing something with that phone yeah I'm gonna gamble that that is probably inaccurate as to what he's saying there uh Scott what do you got on this one I I think the stress with the detective is from is not from it's not stress it's more of a thing where he's thinking about all the thing he thinks he's got all the he's he's looking at all the information he's got he's putting everything in order that's what looks like to me what I'm thinking I always do this or I put my hands up around my mouth and people complain about it and all that when they when I do it on here but I think that's what this guy's doing he's thinking about all the stuff he's got he's like and it's more of a positive thing than than a stressful reliever from being something negative built up bad stress that's a cognitive load yeah cognitive load when I say stress I'm not saying negative or positive just okay okay that you don't necessarily need right yeah right yeah because that that's I've been in that spot before and so we all have so that's the way that's the way it looks like me anyway but again the bobbin's going strong here and he's laser focused on that interrogator because he he didn't put much thought into the 9-1-1 call he didn't think it would be dissected he didn't think it'd be brought out phrase by phrase word by word he he remembers pretty much the story he's talking about but he doesn't remember all little tiny details and those that he does remember he be he's sure to lean into him like when he talks about and he throws his kid under the bus again and blames this whole thing on his child that he killed you know that this is a dirty guy here this is this is this is not this is a low I have that's using language we can use on here because he asked if he's been been excuse me violent with Paul that's what we see are the most moving in that right hand that's when it starts going the most he's remembering that violent uh situation and that's that's the way he that's the way he's trying to because I'm sure it was pretty violent that kid came at him you know what it wasn't good for the kid uh by the time it was over because that bird I was a big boy and uh this is um I think this is good because we see him trying to stay composed he's trying to stay under control and he tries hard to look natural so it doesn't look odd but it does look odd because it's not natural we see him trying to hold those things back with all his adapters and everything he's doing trying to stay straight and and all bunched up like that um and it's so his confidence that he's trying to show really doesn't come through that way it just looks and sounds odd um all right Chase what do you got so let's just examine a little bit here there's no mention of detail about the crime that occurred like ever there's not mention of murder or being shot or someone killing someone or guns not one uh desire to find out who did this not one ounce of anger not one ounce of guilt which normal people tend to have just under the under the assumption they could have maybe prevented something from happening if I would have only done X then y wouldn't have happened and there's no mention of how the bodies looked but the detail and the very specific carefully executed phone description uh is just astonishing here to me and this is an example of a detailed Valley and a detailed Spike and it suggests extreme deception to me and that there's something with this phone that is key to the case so if this has not gone to trial yet I would say that phone holds something there and when he says you ever get physical with him when he saw about Paul he's saying no sir there's a quick head shake and then he goes back to nodding and Maggie is just no it's more direct more confident and there's a more firm head shake so these are two kind of just apart from each other and I'll let you determine whatever that means and in interrogations it is your job to help somebody soften the severity of the case to help them carefully just come to the conclusion that they can confess and I would say no matter what your job is to go whether there's an attorney in there or not it doesn't change the desired outcome so there's a quote from Sun Tzu that I have on the first page of all my interrogation manuals that when I train students and police and this is build your opponent a golden bridge on which to retreat so when your suspect is as bad a liar as this you'll have actually more work to do but they'll the cool thing is they're definitely going to show you the blueprint of what that bridge is supposed to look like what do they need to hear and interrogators essentially have seven core jobs and this is me just going through the interrogation training here for you we have to minimize socialize project justify rationalize emphasize the truth and increase anxiety associated with deception those are the main jobs of an interrogator and we're not seeing a whole lot of that here maybe we will later on but I wish we had seen a little bit more uh Greg Whittier yeah in uncourse of interrogation there is a golden tool that you use and it's called futility and only good interrogators are any good with it everything we do everything Chase just said all of that is about one thing it's about getting that person to the point they have a realization they can't resist you and the hardest thing for a person to get is that I mean my days of teaching interrogation they would stand up and sound like Picard from uh Star Trek saying resistance is futile and you'd fire them you put them right out of the interrogation room and say no come back it's about the subtlety of message it's about getting the person to realize that you have more ammunition than they do and they're going to lose the war that's really at the end of the day what we do there are lots of ways some are some are coercive in some parts of the world some are non-course if my style is non-corset some like Reed has another set of tools all of these work on that one thing that a person gets to a point they realize there's no reason that result to resist because they're not going to win what we see here Mark I love that you're talking about the investigator because I think what we're seeing here is some masterful interrogation that you only have to be able to know what he's doing to figure out why the stress is there he has a job and that job is to hide the key Crux of the matter and he brings up a Crux question in here what were you going to do with that foam that's why he's here he wants to know because this is they already know now that he was down at the kennel and he's trying to find out is that guy trying to get rid of it so all that stuff he's doing is kind of a redirect if you watch magicians you guys are big fans of magicians more than I am they're redirecting while they're doing something with the other hand that's what he's doing and I always say an interrogator is like a swan they look elegant and floating along the top of the water but they're paddling like hell underneath and you can see it he's paddling like hell right here he's trying to keep his head above water and Mark you're picking up on that and seeing that stress we see this is I'm gonna go a little bit long on this one because this is probably one of the most powerful ones we're going to see but we start off by watching Murda do a rapid Short Stroke of the thing he always does watch how short stroked he is as he's doing and he's asked about the 9-1-1 call because that's what he thinks this is about now you see that tissue in his right hand starting to take the Crux of all this things that are going on something else changes have you heard him say you know ever until now he starts now to have filler words you know you know you know he also goes to partial sentences and phrases okay that's a fairly common Southern speech pattern around where I live around where he lives but he doesn't use it this is the first time I've heard it as soon as this guy looks away watch when the investigator takes his second looks away and watch that explosion of movement just crazy only to lock right back down right there enough is enough for me to say why the hell are you doing this then we see really big rocking when he's asked about his son and he says he wouldn't listen to me the One Missed question here is how physical did you get I would have asked that just to fire across the bow and say I think you're violent and but I think he does a great job of containing it and then Paul our Murdoch gives out useless information he talks about alcohol but watch him when you see that thing where he covers his knee Mark that's in response to the Crux question when he asked that Crux question his hands go out to block that knee and you could say it's because he's been so balled up he needed to move out to get to there or it could be the knee or it could be both but something caused him to do that and then he gets back to keen on locking everything down if you're being interrogated dropping your hands in your lap while you're fig leafing if nothing ever changes it's just fig leafing and so what it's just your Baseline now the only problem with putting your hand on your knee is we can see everything you're like a little meter there this is a big deviation from Baseline and powerful powerful interrogation step another part in call you made the comment I should have known [Music] and the questioning that surrounded um you know dispatchers asking is anybody else supposed to be at the house no man please hurry and she says we're getting somebody out there to you and your next comment was I should have known what are you referencing in that statement I don't remember saying that but I guess you know all the threats and you know and I've been convinced that this was something to do with the boat wreck and you know [Music] all of that bottoms [Music] smaller and physical with you never get into a heated argument to get physical one time I mean a little bit where he wouldn't listen to me did you ever get physical with him I'm sorry about the magnitude Paul get physical with magic yeah I'm sure she probably wanted two Good Times [Music] and the one time Paul did that he had had too much to drink um in the very isolated incident where was it was that a Brazil or Edisto that was at Moselle that was pretty recent no sir it's a good man a while when you turned all over and his cell phone popped out picked it up your statement was something like I thought about doing something but then I put it back down and that was the interview our first interview what were your intentions with the phone I don't know I mean it when I when I went up killing and the phone came out I don't remember having intentions of doing anything with the phone [Music] when I went up there [Music] one thing that I'm trying to understand is your timeline you said you probably went to the office 8 30 9 o'clock 10 o'clock and we left early around 5 or 5 30. and there's been some other timelines or times that we've talked about and you can't quite remember what the times are what time of day it was when the dispatcher asked you when was the last time you saw a man you were talking Maggie you said an hour and a half two hours ago to me that's you know a set without thinking about it you should route it off that time we're sitting here trying to figure out a timeline the question was you told the dispatcher hour two hours ago hour and a half to two hours I would have two hours what time was the 911 call 206 P.M I can tell me again what I said to the um dispatcher you said an hour and a half ago probably two hours and what time was that that was when you were in phone um and the 911 call was made at 1006. so given two hours time that would have been eight I mean I think that's probably about I think that's probably about right and so what do you believe I'm giving you an inconsistent answer no I'm just trying to wrap my mind around it when I'm asking you what time you went to the office that day what time you got home [Music] ask you a question yes at this point in the investigation did you have the video back from Paul's phone showing the dog at the kennels no sorry I had not um you're you know you're saying five or five thirty I've gotten the court read out from the law firm and it shows you going in at 5 5 30. you're going in the store yes sir and Randy says when he lived about six o'clock you were still there so the times aren't matching up and I'm just trying to get I'm just trying to get an understanding of why I believe how that's uh that's not the first time I was at my office that day there were several readings that your card wouldn't work somebody had just actually had to let you win record opening the door at the law firm at final three thank you and then Randy's all right Mark what do you got yeah so uh what interests me now is this yellow shirted interviewer the one that we can't really see uh too much of you can see uh his breathing rate because you can see his stomach his diaphragm moving so you can have a look at where his breathing rate is and and to all the points that have been made so far look you're you're in this situation let's assume probably rightly that they are looking whether it's unreasonable or not looking to move somebody to a confession it could be unreasonable in this situation but that's where they're going and there's an element of non-verbal which is about time like how quickly does or slowly does something happen and and how quickly or slowly something happens has effect on human beings and it often shows up in their non-verbal Behavior I think we're seeing from the yellow shirted interviewer that he would like this to be happening a whole lot quicker than it is and so it it takes me back to the other interviewer and and what again what I would call this the stress that's happening there which is you know the cognitive load that not that he's out of control with things but he would like probably a better Pace on it I mean who wouldn't like to get something done faster rather than slower so not only when you're thinking about how you might do interviews whether it's in this kind of situation or something you know with with a little less risk in it maybe but you know even interviewing somebody for a job there's a lot of risk involved with that you've got to understand the pressures of time and what you're liable to do under these pressures of time and I think in this situation we've got somebody here going you know what I'd like this to be happening a lot quicker than it is so interesting uh to to see that uh Chase what do you got on this one I almost did that that didn't go on as long as I would have liked it to luckily Zoom has an alert that comes up now when you're online that's not been gone forever then isn't it so I believe he told his attorney he was innocent I believe that that's what he said to his attorney and you can I think you can tell here because he's not looking back at him very often uh for advice or anything and I'm going to say something that's critical of interrogation training but I'm not talking about this particular officer this is a unique case where he's literally interrogating a former prosecutor this whole series of clips still does illustrate why it's important not to follow just some blind step-by-step checklist for interrogations and one of the biggest damaging mistakes that I've seen in every Police Department everyone that I've given training to including the military is they have zero training on how to understand the person that they're speaking to and so many departments get kind of a washed down version of interrogation training and none of them teach interrogators to understand the phrases the approaches the techniques and specific words that are going to influence certain types of people and then how to tell which type I'm talking to right now so essentially most interrogation training is kind of this basic lock pick where they're taught to just jiggle this lock pick in the lock for hours in hopes that a confession is going to come out or information is going to come out when all they needed was the key which is kind of the right words that the person their psychology the suspect's psychology will respond to and as the key lesson from this video take a look at Myrtle's Behavior it is restrained now lots of people get nervous in the interrogation room lots of people get stressed out innocent and guilty but only some conceal and restrain those behaviors of stress and we're definitely seeing that here Scott what do you got all right I agree I think this is from this point on uh this is where he's beginning to realize that things aren't going to go his way that's why it's starting to get a little bit more odd looking and and things start ramping up a little bit he knows he messed up and his brain is scrambling to fix all that stuff is scramble to keep his story straight scrambling to remember what he said and what he's done at this point that's I'm just giving the overall body language uh view so I'm going to stop there uh Greg what do you got yeah this is a good one because it we see a new adapter we see he starts off by doing his normal foot moving rocking doing all that but then he twists in his chair that's something new why do you do that don't know don't know we always say it doesn't matter why it makes me want to know why so then we go there the news is a delaying technique tell me again that gives him time to think and as soon as he gets done with that he does two-handed adapting pulling it close and squeezing his arm there's a lot going on here then there's a negotiated answer with a little to the end that's probably about right well Chase I think you usually say innocent people are comfortable introducing ambiguity let me give you a great example of that if this happened to me I would say hell I don't know what time it was I came home my wife and child were dead it could have been 20 hours hell I don't know my brain was not working but we don't hear that we hear that overly helpful and people who don't know how to resist interrogation always think that if I'm just helpful they'll leave me alone that's why it works that way [Music] one thing that I'm trying to understand is your timeline you said you probably went to the office at three nine o'clock ten o'clock left early around 5 or 5 30. um and there's been some other timelines or times that we've talked about you can't quite remember what the times are what time of day it was when the dispatcher asked you when was the last time you saw a man you were talking Maggie said an hour and a half two hours ago to me that's you know a set without thinking about it you should route it off that time we're sitting here trying to figure out a timeline the question was you told the dispatcher hour two hours ago hour and a half to two hours I want to have two hours what time was the 911 call 206 pm prior to that yes sir go ahead and having trouble coming up with a specific time oh it is fair I don't know I can tell me again what I said to the um dispatcher you said an hour and a half ago probably two hours and what time was that that was when you were on the phone and the 911 call was made at 1006. so given two hours I would have been eight I mean I think that's probably about I think that's probably about right and so you wouldn't you believe I'm giving you an inconsistent answer no I'm just trying to wrap my mind around it when I'm asking you what time you went to the office that day what time you got home can I ask you a question yes at this point in the investigation did you have the video back from Paul's phone showing the dog at the kennels no sorry I had not um you're you know you're saying five or five thirty I've gotten the court readout from the law firm and it shows you going in at 5 30. you're going in the door yes sir and Randy says when he lived about six o'clock you were still there so the times aren't matching up and I'm just trying to get I'm just trying to get an understanding why I believe how that's the digestion of the first time I was at my office that day there were several readings but your card wouldn't work somebody had just actually had to let you win but I've got your record opening the door at the law firm at 5 30. and then Randy's saying and then Randy saying that he left at six you were still there so I'm trying to understand you know I left the office earlier than I normally did you know what's your normal time to leave I mean It's Not Unusual for me to be there until dark you know I try to get home and Maggie's home I'm sure you don't like staying out there by yourself before that's right so you know if it was 5 30 or 6 you know I don't think I was still there at six o'clock but um you know if I was it wasn't long after that so you know I went I believe that I went straight home so you know my car have y'all been able to get Chevrolet just download my we're still working on that it's a long process but I mean I got home early and uh for Paul and I to ride the property for a substantial length of time you know more than an hour I thought probably a couple of hours if we were together but somewhere jumping down the river we rode down um all the roads I believe I believe that we I mean we rode all over we run all over God Greg what do you got yeah this starts off with non-pertinent information but the heat is really up still so he's he's adapting still he's doing all his usual stuff squeezing and rubbing and swirling in the chair but now he starts to talk about conditions he starts to condition everything he says with I believe and that's a cutout word because I can always say well I said I believe I don't know no maybe I was wrong that's not the way people typically do it this leads him to say I believe I was that's not a lie and all that kind of stuff we've heard from him but he really rocks he really rocks when they ask him about Chevrolet and talking to OnStar because if you don't know what your car's tracking is tracking everything just so you know that if you're not aware of that unless you're driving something really old your car's tracking everything I've had a friend who had an accident and they were able to tell exactly what happened before the accident he goes back to his normal speech patterns no more no more phrases long sentences on non-pertinent information about riding the property but when he's asked about the river or I think it's the river you asking questions for he loses his ability to construct a sentence what happened down there what caused all this might have started there don't know but something changed and then changed and then he goes back and he interrupts himself with I believe that we that believe is part of his defense later that's my opinion Scott what do you got all right he's locked down and he does move a little bit more than he has been a lot more actually but and those are just signs of stress that's all I'm going to add to that because I'm trying to stay on the body language saying I really didn't get into the what he's saying back and forth all right Mark what do you got yeah let me just dig into the central theme of of all of this and and why it confuses me as to the theme that you choose if you were innocent he spent I don't know how long this interview has been going on now but he spent all the time defending his position answering in some way and by often not answering or I don't remember but but you know committing to the interview that's going on rather than saying stop these ridiculous questions I I'm nothing to do with this find the people who did this or person who did this to my son and my wife and if they continued asking these questions then going you two are a bunch of idiots and I want you out of here right now I want a senior I want the most senior person at this station in the room with we right now and I want this dealt with that's where I'd be at this point because I wouldn't have killed my my wife and my son I don't know well I do know why he's not there because he's done it I mean that's why that's why he's only and and and so you know as as a fundamental rule if he's spending all of this time defending himself when he could just go shut up the both of you I've nothing to do with this get me somebody who's an investigator in the room if he's not going down that route I gotta wonder why Chase what do you got on this one yeah I think uh Mark you stole my notes on this one I'm sneaky this is a pronounced Focus I'm just gonna like summarize what you're saying just so people can get this there's a pronounced focus on innocence and a disappearance of a person who might have done this or a desire to find out what really happened there's no desire there and this is plain and simple to diagnose this is where all attention of law enforcement should be placed and it's so rare to see this in innocent people this kind of behavior is so incredibly rare that I'm going to make an unprecedented statement here that if you see this this alone has the potential to serve as the guidepost for where law enforcement should be paying all of their attention if you see Behavior like this in this clip and then Randy's saying that he left at six you were still there so I'm trying to understand you know I left the office earlier than I normally did what's your normal time to leave I mean I mean it's not unusual for me to be there to a dog you know I try to get home and Maggie's home you know before dark but you don't like staying out there by yourself or less than so you know [Music] if it was 5 30 or 6 you know I don't think I was still there at six o'clock but um you know if I was it wasn't long after that so you know I want I believe that I went straight home so [Music] my car have y'all been able to get to share related to download my we're still working on that okay it's a long process but I mean I got home early enough for Paul and I to ride the property for a substantial length of time you know more than an hour I thought probably a couple of hours if we were together but somewhere jumping down the river we rode down um all the roads I believe I believe that we I mean we wrote it all over we rubbed all over you know we've already established family guns were used and if they came from Paul's truck Paul's truck was at the house so where where were they now did he get down yet how did they get down there [Music] I mean it's normal for y'all to leave your keys in the cars however if somebody showed up and did this you're not going to take Paul's truck back to the house and leave the key in it I mean do you know that the guns about the truck but they have been somewhere else there could have been somewhere else I mean he wasn't he didn't have his normal truck I understand that no one too believes he saw the gun um three weeks beforehand and I haven't talked to him but he's he believes it was the one that not the one that was at the house [Music] because again a Benelli it was it was a shotgun that he always kept nipple always yet but kept with him oh primarily yep he hasn't kept one of a couple of benelli's and it was a camera vanilla because as the last one that Paul that I'll know that's all okay and uh HDD some type of seven millimeter rifle yes sir do you have double at home yes sir that's what he saw that's what he saw because I was I was told by somebody that no one saw a um 300 he told me he had not seen a 300 since March after turkey season okay it's okay well there's somebody gosh all right Greg what do you got so he's heated up here pretty good because he does a couple of things I've never seen in the interrogation room one of them is he tries to Fig Leaf while crossing his legs and I said he's doing a Sharon Stone leg cross moment if you're not old enough to remember the Sharon Stone movie Basic Instinct he does a big move like that and it's just not something you see every day that's over the top what we see often in people prior to confession I don't mean right as they confess but as they're headed toward the confession is they get this locked down as he is here their chin drops to protect their throat look at him compare his chin now back to one and see are we seeing any of that deviation but what we see then often is their feet hunt the door and that's a predecessor and then we put the pressure pressure then we give them silence let them simmer a little bit and then we go for the close I'll bet if you could see his feet they're pointing for the door already at this point just to tell us what's going on his head Mark what do you got yeah it's nothing but an agreement with what you've said the the only note that I had here because for me it seemed the only thing of of big consequence is his hand is now tucked right in at his groin area protecting those primary sexual characteristics I think that's a deviation from everything that we've seen so far yes he's been locked down yes he's been protective but he's now shielding these knuckle joints in his legs and his primary sexual characteristics at the same time you know something is is up something is a little more extreme Scott what do you got on this one yeah I think this one's really interesting because this is the fastest uh bobbing back and forth we've seen so far and his breath rate is up is he's breathing he's breathing faster and deeper and that's and that I think that's a dramatic change at this point his voice tone and his addiction they're the clearest they've been so far clears and cleanest I think this is because he got a little adrenaline pop during this and he's realizing there are even more things he didn't work out properly so he's having to slow down and think about what's happening and what's happened so far he's still got all these parts of the story swirl around his head trying to get that stuff worked out and again he doesn't have the answer for these questions so the stress level is is through the roof on this compared to what we've seen so far and his lawyer can't even help him and his lawyers got his legs crossed as well which I thought was interesting but it's opposite of of uh murders so I thought that was that was anyway pretty interesting Greg what do you got oh Chase what do you got yeah I agree completely and if if somebody if you see somebody having trouble completing a sentence the moment a murder weapon is introduced to the conversation there's something happening there's something maybe significant going on and if the person also then corrects you on the caliber of the weapon so that it's not involved with the crime that might also be a big deal that's all I got all right the islands is you you know we've already established family guns were used and if they came from Paul's truck Paul's truck was at the house so where where were they now did he get down yet how did they get down there [Music] I mean it's normal for y'all to leave your keys in the cars however if somebody showed up and did this you're not going to take Paul's truck back to the house and leave the key in it I mean do you know that the guns are in the truck and could they have been somewhere else there could have been somewhere else I mean he wasn't he didn't have his normal truck I understand that no one tootin believes he saw the gun um three weeks beforehand and I haven't talked to him but is it is he believes it was the one that not the one that was at the house [Music] of Benelli it was it was some shotgun that he always get nipple always up but kept with him oh primarily yeah yeah he kept but there were one of a couple of benelli's and it was camo vanilla is is the last one that Paul that I'll know that's all okay and uh HDD some type of seven millimeter rifle yes what do you have that one at home yes sir that's what he saw that's what he saw because I was I was told by somebody that Nolan saw a 300 he told me he had not seen a 300 since March after turkey season okay okay well there's somebody else thank you man yeah I just saw a few more questions okay did you kill Maggie no did I kill my wife yes sir another day do you know if you did no I do not who did you killed Paul no that did not kill Paul do you know who did no sir I do not know who did do you think I killed Maggie go where the evidence and the fact you think I feel tall I have to go over the evidence and the facts take me and I don't have anything that points to anybody else at this time so does that mean did I am a suspect you were still in like I told Corey earlier you were still in this thank you with it with everything that we've talked about with the family guns the ammunition nobody else's DNA to put my beliefs aside and go with the facts talking with Mr Griffin there's one sentence I'll go first on this one uh this is the classic uh non-contraction of the denial and so when he asked him he killed his wife he said no I did not kill my wife and he doesn't say no I didn't instead of saying no I didn't he says no I did not now I've I've come to the point in my life where where I see that sometimes as that person may be making sure they get everything about that that statement correct and they're trying to Ram that home so that's why they don't contract so I think maybe in in this situation I'm kind of on the fence about this one it's not it's non-contracted but it didn't the flow of it isn't the one isn't the the flow you usually see when somebody says no I did not it was very slow it was very dead dead so I think he's he was ready for that and I think he was um he's trying to make sure that point gets across I don't I don't think it's um a subconscious or you know a non-conscious situation there um so these days I'm I'm on the fence about all that and this is one of the things that puts me on fence about it um yeah because I thought about that for a long time um I think this is I think that answer is probably rehearsed I think at some point he said to himself because he hasn't been able to discuss it with his lawyer because like I think you were saying Greg were you the one that said do you think he's uh Chase Chase okay yeah I think you might be right I think he told the guy he was innocent yeah I guess you you have to say that you didn't do it so they can you know in some cases depending on your relationship with him but I would think knowing this guy's personality and the people he hangs out with I think he may have told the guy the truth you know so I you know dirty hangs out with dirty man birds of a feather uh but I think this was beautifully executed by the the detective at the ends he says I have to put my beliefs aside and go with the facts there's this little tether of trust you must keep between you and the person you're talking to because as soon as they're under the impression you're not there to help them then everything changes I know in this room it's it's like it you know a party in there there's so many people in there but you must keep that thing you might you've got to keep that trust thing happening there so they'll be able to confi you'll feel like they're confiding you he's not going to confide in three other people you know three people he would have done it with one but and I think you're you're right in this case there there's three people in there it's it's not gonna happen and you can see that I think from the beginning that that it's not going to happen but it but the detective detective I really think he does a great job in keeping that little tether man keeping that still strong by saying uh what he said and if if somebody out there knows this guy the the detective or you or you know how to get hold of him please have him get a hold of us and and get hold of the behavior panel at gmail.com the behaviorpanel gmail.com and if there's no you in behavior that one's already gone to where we got we had to get to what was no no you in it so it's the behavior panel uh at gmail.com have him email us here if you would and or if you see this go ahead and email us there Chase what do you got so we're seeing this classic nodding again throughout this and look at the spots when the knot I just want you to I'm not going to tell you where it is look at the spots where the nodding spikes where it gets to its peak point and there's question repetition with psychological distancing so he's not saying the name he says my wife this time and he uses the officer's name this time during a denial which is way way out of Baseline as for this entire long video it's out of Baseline his body is freezing which means that he's not really adapting or doing anything he's completely locked so we're not seeing a whole lot of movement then there's the non-contracted denial there but we're seeing that non-contracted denial also added with partial repetition or what what we call in my training repetition of a question fragment which is repeated with the denial no I did not kill my wife and then he's still nodding and with every other denial that was truthful he had a very positive head shake like this but he's still nodding in here which this is a rare case where those are out of Baseline it's uncharacteristic so this head nodding means something during the denials it or potentially does and this is not necessarily he's doing a great job here uh but this is not how a classic trained confrontation is supposed to go granted the attorneys in the room so it's a little bit different and there's actually a six step protocol to make a direct confrontation to another person let them know they're a suspect you don't believe them and not uh I don't think any of those six steps are in this clip but one huge one from that protocol is using the suspect's name especially during this time when you want to develop that little line of trust that Scott was talking about that's when you want to lean out there and use that person's name and that's when you know Scott is a big fan of kind of reaching out touching their knee and saying listen I think you're a good person and I just want to figure out you know why this happened and you know maybe you were out of your mind or whatever but I'm not blaming the officer or the detective here at all the interrogation uh that a lot of people receive is pretty minimal but I know he's doing his best and it's a damn good job and I'm not uh discounting that he's extremely good at what he does as a detective there um Greg yeah so let's talk for a minute about that thin line of trust or whatever you want to call it everything we do I contend is based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs and for me to get you to give me something or to want to do something for me I have to create a new sense of belonging and the magic of what we do or the solicitation there's interrogation any of that is based on me creating a new normal where you belong to a tribe I belong to and that's exactly what you have to do if I am screaming and yelling and throwing stuff at you you're not going to do anything for me you might do it for someone to get away from me so all those tools even if you are calling a person a liar even if you're going at them it's about keeping that thin line of trust as you called it Scott so I'll call it the same thing that thin line of trust creates a new normal where I can then approach you and make you feel guilty for lying to me or make you feel guilty for not being coming forward with some piece of information so let's talk about what's clear here the very first thing he says is no he just does a fading facts he reminds me of our friend Candice Bly on Dr Phil no just disappears but then he restates after he repeats the question did I kill my wife he does that non-contracted denial we've been hearing him use phrases a lot and now this non-contracted denial and we just got it doesn't always mean something except when it does his chin is down we usually associate with shame not up and defiant we usually associate with indignant or that kind of thing that non-contracted Denial on his son he there's a politeness Spike no sir I did not when he does did you kill Paul it's interesting that all this works Scott we were at Dr Phil and they gave me the disclaimer and Scott said you can tell he was in the military because they asked me a question I repeated the question as I affirmed it because that's the way my brain works that's not the way his brain works but listen to him do it here he's doing it here very specifically sounds like me disclaiming and then after he's told he's a suspect his eyes drop down to his left which we associate with internal conversation and then down into the right which we associate with emotion and then lip compression what we know is pre-confession body language is locked up locked up locked up go down into this kinesthetic down left down right down left down right and then they open well he's not going to open with somebody sitting beside him who is part of his Maslow as long as there's a room full of people and especially one of them somebody he's associated with he's not going to confess in a crowd Mark what do you got yeah yeah so look I think the key to critical thinking is to be agnostic about absolutely everything and so you're right anybody's right to be on the fence about any one signal and all we're doing is going look we're on the fence about everything until the enough mounts up but if you went to the casino what would you gamble on the accuracy of your judgment based on being on the fence about everything until the information piles up and that's just being intelligent which is not making snap judgments because your instinct does that on its own it like it doesn't even need to eat to do that your instinct takes micro watts of energy whereas your intelligent brain that does critical thinking it's like a it's it's it's it's a 40 watt light bulb of energy to get that going so you do have to be comfortable you've got to eat enough in order to get that working you don't do critical thinking by accident you do it on purpose and we're getting so much information here mounting up that puts us in the direction of of he's been up to something it's not good news for him I want to put on top of that we then get his lawyer doing lint picking which is you know where you take some piece of dust uh he's not doing it from his lapel by the way but he's doing it on his knee I'm just showing you that so you can see it and and it is often a show of indifference a show of there isn't enough power out there I've got time to make sure there are no flies on me there are no there's no dirt on me I don't I'm not feeling the stress and pressure uh outside in this environment well interesting that this lawyer who is attached to to their client they have a relationship with their client that the others in the room don't have it's meant to be a supportive relationship and you've got this person with the supportive relationship doing lint picking of this point now do we know what that means like we know it tends to show indifference is it him going now would be the time to get rid of this client uh you know I'm going to be indifferent to my relationship with this client it could be that that's quite a nice idea or is he signaling to the others in the room I don't think you've got anything you know or is he signaling you've got something there you're on to something but I want to show you that you have nothing I don't know which which one it is I'd have to turn to the person and go hey what's going on for you right now what's going on there look let's couple with that um we now get the subject leaning forward and saying do you think I did it well this is compounding what's happening and this is a question I believe that would have been if somebody was innocent they'd have asked right at the start right at the start they're gone do you think I what what's this about do you think I did it if they said yes then the person would have gone okay what evidence you have because I didn't do it like let's get through this for because we need to go and find the person who killed my wife and my kid fast because I want Justice and none of that has happened clearly uh not a good not a good show going on here I think that's all the eyewitness is you thank you man yeah I just saw a few more questions okay did you kill Maggie no did I kill my wife yes sir another day you know if you did no I do not who did you kill Paul no that did not kill Paul do you know who did no sir I do not know who did do you think I killed Maggie I go where the evidence and the fact when you think I feel tall I have to go over the evidence and the facts take me and I don't have anything that points to anybody else at this time so does that mean that I am a suspect you were still in like I told Corey earlier you were still in this with it with everything that we've talked about with the family guns the ammunition nobody else's DNA put my beliefs aside and go with the facts talking with Mr Griffin there's one sentence so Mark so far what have you seen up to this point so far I believe what we've seen is some of the most interesting and subtlest indicators in an eerie interrogation that we've looked at as to what's going on the battle that's going on both these parties are doing a great job to attack and defend under a lot of pressure for both parties and I think what we've picked up on here is some real subtleties of what's going on indicating that continued battle Chase what are you seeing so far so so far I think this is one of the first if not the first interrogation videos that we've analyzed where every single video contains massive red flags it's normal for us to get some but in this one it is incredible like every video here and I this all these videos are a testament to how important psychology is in interrogations and I think the interrogator did do a great job it is I cannot imagine the insurmountable uh task of interrogating a former prosecutor with his attorney sitting next to him there's somebody else maybe one of my senior people from what it looked like sitting next to me so that would be really tough and he brought up all the key elements of the scene and I'm no detective by any means so I know that's its own entire area of expertise but I will certainly be using these for training uh in in my classes Greg yeah so far what I see is this is a guy on a fishing Expedition he's in to figure out what they know now we know that he has done a lot of heinous stuff by now we know all the facts that came out in the court case but without that without the ability to see what's going on in interrogation you might miss all of this because the subtlety of body language the mistake of coming in lockdown and trying to resist interrogation like you think people do and then watching it unfold as an interrogator does his job is powerful I think what we're seeing here is some places that gave them a place to drill down when they went on the stand I know that I would go after that Crux question for sure you also saw some stress up to now working on the pro on the person who is asking the questions interrogation is a complex thing it's an art form and it's designed for the person sitting across from you I think he did a good job all things considered with a person sitting and again we've said this many times we'll say it again love to have you on the show love to talk to you love to know more about what you're thinking when you're doing this Scott what have you seen yeah I agree I hope he does hope somebody gets a hold of him or he he hears about this and and comes and talks to us that'd be awesome uh I think so I think this is a great example of of seeing someone go through the process of not sure if they're going to get in trouble or not to being pretty dang sure they've had it or that everyone's on to I think they that's a great a great example of that and I think the detective did a wonderful job of that because he kept us cool and he never really he never changed from that little plane he was riding down that little just flat and right there I think I think he did a great job uh doing that but we did see a lot of little things that you that will usually just blow right by because there's so many big things happening in an interrogation that we can point out and the Little Things become boring but in this case it's all the little things that were huge that made such a big difference for this one I think all right fellas I think there's another good one and uh we'll see you next time [Music] would you guys say if he asked you do you think I did it what would be your response I got my note here says I'll do all the questions around here I'd say I'm not sure yet that's that's the that's the one that's do you think I did this oh I'm not sure yet that's why that's what I'm here to find out we're gonna find out what happened yeah yeah I would do exactly what this guy did look if you cross that line in this investigation you don't get the chance again and in my opinion when you do that you have to do what he did he said I'll let the facts speak I'm just here to collect information that way you're not turning into the bad guy and you know adversarial because there may be another opportunity and you can't do it if you the determination is an interrogation are about maintaining the relationship and you have to be really careful that's what I would do I think I'd say go ahead Chase I think that's it you know Rob uh I'm not here to to make that determination but I've been doing this a long time and it certainly doesn't you don't seem like the person to do this kind of premeditated thing and if if that is the case or if something did happen I definitely don't think you meant to do that well if he said why you call me Rob whatever isn't his name Rob didn't he go by Rob Alec doesn't matter we heard him call himself murdick once and then he goes to murder oh then I hear him say Murdock yeah hell it's a Scottish name pronunciation can go all over the place Mark's called a murder at the top murder murderer there's a there's a joke me and my uh buddy Jason Rosalie to talk about he was uh he was uh of homicide over at West Precinct in Nashville and when I first moved to Nashville I was walking by this mini mart me and a buddy of mine and there was a lot going on there was there was a uh that had roped off and the cops or they were walking by and and there's a news guy there right and as we're walking by I go we go hey man what's going on he goes There's Been a Murder like that like there's been a murder and that's been sort of our we've gone back and forth for years every time I see him because what's going on I always go there's been a murder yeah sorry no that's it when we were doing the Dr Phil thing I realized how dark our sense of humor is because the juror was in our room and we were watching videos and I was like hey man sorry so that's humor is a little dark yeah it is so here's what I do Chase I'd uh to that question yeah I'd throw my friend under the bus I'd go I'd go he thinks you definitely did yes that's a great way to do it like he's like and I can't convince him otherwise he's definitely like he would come back up he wants you hung yeah that's DOD yourself straight away Department of Defense uh top interrogator quality is number seven uh interior distances themselves from authority figures yeah that's threat and rescue is that yeah I'm so sorry I felt so sorry for that little guy uh Greg Mary we're in there and he was in makeup and he was he was welled up he's about to cry we were like what's wrong with this cat man and then uh Tina my makeup person she said he's really really nervous I tell what tell what he said Greg when he said what's going on man yeah he said is he gonna Grill me and I was like no man you're like you're like the star of the show today you're an innocent member of the public all right check it out so we're in Dr Phil's dressing room this place is something Isn't that cool yeah yeah let's go in here we'll see you there oh that's a gratitude come here yeah for sure let's take a look at his cars look at that so that's that's his car it's Robin's car in his car same thing out this window here and come around this way come back this way you can see this there's that here's the office it's a great great office yeah oh God so he loves it hey call security well yeah I got some riff raff in the office today we're going to talk about Alex Murdoch he is on our mardic however you pronounce it he's on the stand and Greg wants to tell us about the videos we're gonna watch so he took the stand as a defense witness and this is a very finite set of the questions that he responded to in Cross you're telling this jury that that's what happened and we were back at the house at 8 49 and you lay down on the couch and dies for a second and then you're up with more steps and a shorter time period than you had done all day well I mean your number is 849 but I'm telling this jury is that I went down there and when I took that chicken from Bubba I would have said something to mags I got back on that golf cart and I drove back to my house after getting back to my house I went inside and in short order I went to the couch that's what I'm telling this jury did you go anywhere anywhere else in the house Mr Waters I can't tell you specifically about that I don't think so but I may have did you have that tan blackout and a 12 gauge shotgun on that golf cart when you drove down there no you didn't no did you see them when you were down there no no so we got you back around 8 49 and you're leaving at 902 correct and you didn't see any weapons down there you just happened to be back there you didn't hear anything at all did you hear anything at all Mr Murdock during that time period no I did not you didn't didn't you tell law enforcement as you thought you heard them pull up then you tell law enforcement that I did think they had pulled up all right so that was that you did think that yes all right so now you're saying there was a car pulling up no you didn't testify to that yesterday did you in your new version of events that no I I don't construct Mr Waters I don't believe there was a car pulling up okay but that's what you told law enforcement didn't you no I told law enforcement that I thought they had pulled up okay all right but you're saying you couldn't hear blackout shots supposedly but you could hear that correct I didn't say I couldn't hear blackout shots but I'm saying that I thought when I got up from taking a nap if I took a nap but when I got up from laying down as I was getting ready to go to my mom's there was a point in time where I thought Maggie and Paul had come back all right Mark what do you got yeah so my understanding is he is part of an established family there in that area established in the law I don't know whether he or any of his members of the family have ever been mayor of the area Scott I can tell you this he's definitely the mayor of qualifier town in the t-shirts get your t-shirts in the store uh he says I'm what I'm telling this jury that's that's not that's a qualifier what I'm telling this jury doesn't mean it's necessarily the truth or a fact what I'm saying uh I would have um if I um I can't tell you specifically and I don't believe lots and lots of qualifiers I'm just giving you a a few there that is a signal there that there's not necessarily some accuracy or truth going on what's the other signal left in there for me uh when when he's cornered about the idea of he couldn't hear anything but surely heard the police car we see him real back and he's starts adapting on the microphone there that is moving the microphone he doesn't need to do that and so I think that's a true adapter to the stress of being cornered and also I believe we're going to see this time and time and time again throughout this when he's put in a corner or under some stress and pressure and that's all I got on that one Scott what do you got all right I think this answers as as prepared as it can be he of course being a former prosecutor and beating that world we're seeing two uh form a real prosecutor and former prosecutor to go head-to-head so we're seeing a lot going on here we're not seeing um any huge cues of stress right now as blink rates pretty low and there's not a lot of illustrating from the extremities and a lot a lot of of moving around with his hands and arms and some are going to say those nods when he was saying uh of yes when it should be no are accused of deception they aren't those are what I call confirmation nods when he's saying no but his head's going yes now had they been small if he said uh no and his head gone like this and kept going that's a different story we see a little bit of that but that's not it doesn't mean he's lying or telling the truth but if someone in another situation similar to this is saying no and their head goes like that and according to Paul Ekman that is one of the things you want to look for to make sure you're dealing with not being deceptive you see a couple of short shoulder shrugs as he goes through this obviously he's not going to be as confident with what he's saying because he's on the spot a lot of people are watching now he's aware that everybody in the world is probably watching this or so many people are but I still think there's a questionable step going on here um all right that's that's all I get Chase what do you got so I'm going to approach this by what's missing in a lot of these videos so we'll we'll just follow I'll use this uh behavioral profiling template for the rest of the videos that are coming up as well as this one and there's something missing here and it's a denial of circumstances is what we're seeing here he's not denying anything else but circumstances so his story is not about what happened and he says it himself it's not about what happened it's stories about what he's telling the jury and one thing Mark you you nailed it he says I would have said something to mags he didn't say that he did and if this did happen I would have said something to mags I don't think that's there and when he's asked about the shotgun and rifle beat on the golf cart this is strange and unusual head nodding may very well be a confirmation nod let's keep taking a look and Steve what you know where his nods are where his head shakes are because somebody to just say one thing means one thing we may be uh looking at something else we'll take a look at the next one though but this is unusual for him uh based on his behavior in the police vehicle and a few other videos but it doesn't I don't think we're seeing that meaning deception by itself at all so Scott I do agree with you and people do it all the time he doesn't very often Greg yeah there's still a couple things one is he's clearing up details for a reason because he admitted that he had lied about not being at the house at the time of the murder he was supposedly away now he's coming back and his Ploy as in his testimony was to tell you how pathetic he's been in the past for stealing from clients including quadriplegic underage people and all that and to say yes and I lied and and now let's see how that works out for him in the long term I'm also going to tell you there are two examples of the organism doing what the organism has made the organism successful in this video one of them is him doing over and over and one of them is me because I didn't prepare for this I'm watching these videos and telling you what I see and so this will be you getting as close to cold as I can get there is a place where his blink rate does increase when they say where else did you go in the house well if he's running around and picking up weapons to go down and do something he would probably get a little blink rate increase around that there's also a couple of things that you listening to him may find interesting this and that this is an educated guy who talks that way and you may say well that doesn't play well for him well it may very well play well for him in Low Country and Mark to your point he's part of a long Legacy of prosecutors like 1920 to 2006 his family held the office of solicitor which is prosecuted there and he is an assistant prosecutor which means he has a badge now we said before he wasn't somebody who said he's not he is he's in he has badges he has been a volunteer in that program you also have to watch him he says a hard no when they ask him about the blackout and the shotgun because those are the murder weapons so he's prepared that Scotty does your loping I can tell he's prepared because he's telling boom boom boom boom until and mark That's you with the downward intonation that's telling until they start asking questions and then his pattern his Cadence his everything shifts he came here to tell a story and when he gets the chance he does tell that story what's interesting to me is when we was telling the police hours after the murder of his wife and son who's had been blown out and he found him on the side of the road he or on the side of the building he had no grief whatsoever now it suddenly got a grief muscle and it's about him on the stand could be Botox and he hasn't had any but I don't think that's what it is I think we're seeing something different and I just think what you need to pay attention to is all that Scott you brought it up early all that prosecutor all that attorney language we're going to see here but Mark you're dead on he's going to qualify he's going to ask him parse facts and make the question what he wants to answer that's all I see and you're telling this jury that that's what happened and you were back at the house at 8 49 and you lay down on the couch and does for a second and then you were up with more steps and a shorter time period than you had done all day well I mean your number is 849 but I'm telling this jury is that I went down there and when I took that chicken from Bubba I would have said something to mags I got back on that golf cart and I drove back to my house after getting back to my house I went inside and in short order I went to the couch that's what I'm telling this jury did you go anywhere anywhere else in the house Mr Waters I can't tell you specifically about that I don't think so but I may have did you have that tan blackout and a 12-gauge shotgun on that golf cart when you drove down there no you didn't no did you see them when you were down there no no so we got you back around 8 49 and you're leaving at 902 correct and you didn't see any weapons down there you just happened to be back there you didn't hear anything at all did you hear anything at all Mr Murdock during that time period no I did not you didn't didn't you tell law enforcement as you thought you heard them pull up then you tell law enforcement that I did think they had pulled up all right so that was that you did think that yes all right so now you're saying there was a car pulling up no you didn't testify to that yesterday did you in your new version of events that no I I don't construct Mr Waters I don't believe there was a car pulling up okay but that's what you told law enforcement didn't no I told law enforcement that I thought they had pulled up all right but you're saying you couldn't hear blackout shots supposedly but you could hear that correct I didn't say I couldn't hear blackout shots but I'm saying that I thought when I got up from taking a nap if I took a nap but when I got up from laying down as I was getting ready to go to my mom's there was a point in time where I thought Maggie and Paul had come back told them all this new story that you've constructed in light of this trial is that correct I did not tell them that I went to the kennel I lied about that and at the same time you also looked at this jury and tried to tell them that you had been Cooperative in this investigation other than line two them about going to the kennel I was cooperative in every aspect of this investigation very Cooperative except for maybe the most important fact of all that you were at the murder scene with the victims just minutes before they died right I did not tell them that I went to the kennel Chase what do you got so I'm going to leave body language out of this for right now so I want you to consider something from a profiling only perspective so if someone's family members are killed and they want to find out what happened what reasonable or sane person would lie about their story so what are the circumstances where immediately after a murder or an incident like this a person decides to lie about their day so in a lot of cases guilty people are going to admit to one lie so they can appear to be coming clean we might call this a micro or a mini confession and this sometimes serves to alleviate this natural human desire to confess and this admission about lying makes guilty people feel like they're admitting fault and unconsciously they believe that they're shaping how we see them so if they're coming clean about this one thing they must not be guilty so that might be something that we're seeing here and this is just a tremendous red flag that the the LIE is there existing in the first place Mark uh yeah so he is very good at not answering with yes or no answers as the prosecutor is trying to Rally him in into simple yes or no uh he'll tend to repeat the question back in the opposite of How It's been put forward I did not tell them that I went to the kennel again not contracted so very clear and uncontracted in telling you the opposite of what is being rallied into and I think that's that's purposeful he knows what the prosecutor is trying to do get him to say yes or no answers it's going to be simpler to to put him in a corner if he'll do yes or no let me just pick up on one element of body language which I think is kind of interesting uh you're right Greg that we had we didn't in the um in the first visit with the police see any forehead action with a lot of forehead action here so we've got to think to ourselves well is he is he putting it on to show concern or is he actually concerned and under pressure in order to work out which one it is I would put alongside that that his his chest is very concave at the moment shoulders are in chest is concave protecting vital organs on the body as we we often say so I might bias towards the straight the stress in the forehead is potentially real stress at this point not a concern that he's putting on for the audience now I could be wrong it could be the opposite but all I'm saying to you is look I'm trying to put information together to come to a best a best guess conclusion and then always test my guesses test my guesses about what else do I see what else do I know what are my friends around me think it is what are other experts around me think it is so at the moment I were biased towards he's though he's used to this situation from not the the side that he's on at the moment but the other side though he's used to that Court he's not used to being here he could be under real stress and pressure here Greg what do you think what do you got on this one yeah let's start off by talking about the wires Loop something Scott and I have in the in the True Crime Workshop but the Liar's Loop says you get a trigger and then you gotta fabricate and then you get to you deconflict inside your head then you pitch then you get challenged now when you get challenged you have to defend and then what happens to you is you get in a spiral if they if the question is doing a good job well he had time between the time he actually executed let's assume he killed her he had time or his family he had time after he killed to fabricate for information while he was waiting for the police in 9-1-1 now we're going to hear a lot of really interesting details as we go so he's deconflicted that stuff in his head and Chase what you're talking about I think is a kind of a Paving Stone if I flip this Paving Stone over you won't check the rest we'll see there's where the problem is and what he's doing I always call that trading guilt he'll throw out some guilt that read it's an ultimate redirect look I lied I lied I'm sorry I lied and you redirect to there we'll find out later when he said he lied and interestingly for the four of us we all saw it when he was in the car we knew something changed all this red flagged his Baseline deviation and he admits that's when he decided to lie but interestingly he's got all that grief muscle the concern all this stuff showing up in his head and we say Greek muscle is the arch but these muscles actually are part of that and that grief muscle is a combination of five muscles I want you to listen to the difference in the way he responds to the first two questions one is telling boom boom boom and the other is halting and shifting as he goes through it so something has changed in the way he is responding to two questions he's got something there that he did before um that's good enough I'll just leave it at that and Scott what do you got I think right here um his story didn't work so he's trying to come he's come in with something else and it's messed up his timeline so he's having to go back and try to correct that I think that's part of what's given the stress here as well but at the same time he's so focused on that prosecutor because his blink rate is low his eyes are a little bit wise compared to what they've been in the and what we've seen up to this point and uh when he has that direct eye contact when they lock it lasts even longer I mean between Blakes so I think that was really interesting uh he doesn't use any illustrators at all he's really still and that's that lets us know something's up here because he's really careful about what he's saying he has to catch everything perfectly because this could be the question that sends him to the Pokey for the rest of his life that's what I got but you never told them all this new story that you've constructed in light of this trial is that correct I did not tell them that I went to the kennel I lied about that and at the same time you also looked at this jury and tried to tell them that you had been Cooperative in this investigation other than line two them about going to the kennel I was cooperative in every aspect of this investigation very cooperative maybe the most important fact of all that you were at the murder scene with the victims just minutes before they died right I did not tell them that I went to the kennel and then you would agree with me that from 902 to 906 your phone finally comes to life and starts showing a lot of steps I do agree with that what are we doing I was getting ready to go to my mom's house getting ready to go I thought you'd take a shower already you were just laying down on the couch what all you need to do to get ready to go to your mom's house I mean it wasn't anything to get ready in that aspect I was getting ready to go I Was preparing to leave doing what I don't know if I got up I went to the bathroom I don't know I can't tell you exactly what I was doing that's far more steps in a shorter time period than than any time prior as you've seen from the testimony in this case so what were you so busy doing that's going to the bathroom no I don't I don't think that I should get on a treadmill in the bathroom no I didn't get on the treadmill no sir I did not do jumping jacks what are we doing Mr Murdock for those four months preparing to leave for my mom's house what what does that mean I mean you're in the front room on that couch where you say you laid down the Suburban is just right outside what all are you doing I don't know if I got up and went to my room went to The Gun Room went back in that doing well you've been so clear in your new story about everything what what were you doing during these four minutes I disagree with your assertion about every detail I don't recall I know that I was getting up and I was leaving I was going to check on my mom but specifically what I was doing I don't I don't know I know what I wasn't doing Mr Waters and what I wasn't doing is doing anything as I believe you've implied that I was cleaning off or washing off or washing off guns putting guns in a raincoat and I can promise you that I wasn't doing any of that okay all right Greg what do you got yeah there's a couple of things in this one that are interesting Scott you always point out you know he's doing does a single shoulder shrug and he raises his shoulder he points his chin toward it when he says didn't go to the bathroom while I go clean out the traps in that bathroom and find what I found there I don't know if they did that or not but that's usually where you'll find evidence because people are not smart enough to unscrew the j-trap and flush it out so you'll find evidence in there and whether that's DNA from whatever's going on or whether you find blood uh he has a grief muscle we see in the beginning of this but he's got requests for approval his forehead up and I lock at all times very low blink just really good I like what we always refer to as a romance or he's paying well there's nothing romantic about that stare that's I think you said Mark he looks like a predator following him around the room when he talks about the treadmill he has a lip compression so there's some withheld information there you got to wonder why and then um he you know uh let me one last thing yeah Mark you pointed out he's Hollow this is in the South if you look at old pictures and miss a big man I think he's six four and if I would have described him before all of this is corn fed use southernism he's a bagel boy and he lost all that weight and so his clothes are different and he sits different because he's accustomed to holding all that weight and holding it differently I think it's part of why we see that posture shift uh Scott what do you got I agree with you he seems like one of those guys that would like sit around his house in a komodo a kimono in his underwear all the time he said you know answering the phone and cooking and stuff like that when he came over he put his clothes on real quick anyway so now 283 steps doesn't sound like a whole a whole lot of steps but if you try to walk that off in your house in about four minutes that's a whole lot of steps happening right there I mean that that actually is a lot and what I think was happening I know we're not supposed to say here's what I think happened I think he's walking around going oh no oh no now what do I do I got to make sure everything's covered oh I don't know you know on the phone calling people all that stuff because he's got a couple of phone calls in there so I think there's a lot going on there I think he's uh he's walking around in a panic because he's just done all this stuff so he's up and running around uh he continues pretty much with the same body language the verbal delivery and just a little bit more illustrating but not a whole lot more the prosecutors trying to get him all worked up and it slowly but surely working because we see him start getting a little bit tense we do see some stuff in the in his brow but again that's I got some theories about what's going on up there but I'm going to save them for a little bit and again I think the great part is we're watching these two attorneys sort of uh battle each other and they've they've both got their glasses on they're looking down their noses at each other so there's no reason for for murder did you say Murdoch or Murdock he says murder because which one is it does it matter I don't think it matters I think it's a little pronunciation local pronunciation yeah all right anyway so he's got his his all the way down to the tip of his nose he's not even using him I'm seeing him use his glasses yet but he's looking down his nose at this attorney and I think that's part of that psychological thing they've got going on back and forth uh Mark what do you got yeah I I agree Greg he um he's really locked uh his Target there uh there is a what you might call a predatory guys and Scott you were you were bringing that up I I was just agreeing with that um yeah predatory great guys there he knows where the the um the target should be and where the conflict uh is going to come from uh yeah I looked up his height as well uh Greg because in order to work out how much ground you can cover with that amount of steps you need to know the height of the person because the human bodies are are um you know that is how that's how tall I am for example if you hold your hands out like that the distance from your fingertips is how tall you are it doesn't work for you okay maybe about six foot six reach okay some people some people are slightly shorter in their legs or longer in their legs it depends but it it kind of roughly works so with that amount of steps you can cover you can cover a roundabout easily a quarter of a kilometer uh in distance now if you're going up and down steps or things like that it won't quite work out but you could cover a lot of ground as a six foot four uh guy uh in that amount of time you're going at quite a pace and you're going to quite a crack there anyway uh all of that aside what interests me most is that he answers via the negative all the time this is what I wasn't doing that day I didn't do that I disagree I don't know I don't recall um I didn't go on the treadmill it's all via the the negative I can promise you what I wasn't doing that day rather than promising you what he was doing that day and that's important for trying to convict somebody of something because you can't convict people on what on the negative you can't prove and you can't prove what isn't there you can only prove what is there so he he really knows what he's doing I think in this situation now whether it will pay off for him and whether people can see past that it doesn't really matter whether jury can see past it they need positive evidence of something not the idea of of something that wasn't happening I would suggest so no specifics at all just themes the themes of I was getting ready to visit my mum I was going to check on my mum that's a theme and he says no specifics and he rejects all implications that come so all of that to say is tough to pin down he's tough to pin down because he won't answer questions only in the negative Chase what do you got on this one yeah I agree with you one thing here though you listen to him talk in the beginning of this clip first He suggests he might have gone to the bathroom then when opposing counsel asking about going to the bathroom he says he probably didn't go this is just weird all the details here and the filling of gaps shows us something interesting he's uncomfortable with uncertainty people who are being honest about not remembering will often have no problem at all reasserting that they're unable to remember and they'll most often just make a firm stand and a confident statement that they don't remember I don't remember so they're confident because they aren't hiding anything so remember this head shake thing in this clip every single denial about the treadmill jogging in place and all that he knows for sure these things are not true you see a perfect uh horizontal head shake uh each and every time then when he's making a denial at the end here about cleaning off guns you see a definite nodding as he denies this this might indicate two potential things I'll let you decide one he's nodding for confirmation to the jury to confirm because he kind of looks that direction too there's a gesture mismatch potentially of possible deception and as a quick note if you ever want to just kind of defeat an interrogator the phrase I don't remember is the most difficult thing for people like us to overcome and deal with maybe I shouldn't see no one more one more thing if if he was an interrogation of that bathroom thing came up Chase all they got to do is use the bake question there and say Hey listen because they've already been in search of this place they can say Hey listen man is there any reason whatsoever that your DNA or their DNA would be in your bathroom any blood anything like that you know any reason whatsoever now they could have been the house and been in there earlier and stuff but you can make up something like how fresh it was or how new it was because he's not gonna know the details on that with the way Tech is these days so that's that's one thing that could have gone down a road there what are you going to say Greg yeah I believe he lives on a septic tank there's a ton of opportunity to find stuff because anything that you wash down the drain goes straight into the septic tank so don't know don't know if that's what they've searched I didn't hear any scientific evidence don't know and then you would agree with me that from 902 to 906 your phone finally comes to life and it starts showing a lot of steps I do agree with that what are we doing I was getting ready to go to my mom's house getting ready to go I thought you'd take a shower already you were just laying down on the couch what all you need to do to get ready to go to your mom's house I mean it wasn't anything to get ready in in that aspect I was getting ready to go I Was preparing to leave doing what I don't know if I got up I went to the bathroom I don't know I can't tell you exactly what I was doing that's far more steps in a shorter time period than than any time prior as you've seen from the testimony in this case so what were you so busy doing that's going to the bathroom no I don't I don't think that I should get on a trip to the bathroom no I didn't get on a treadmill no sir I did not do jumping jacks what were we doing Mr Murdock for those four months preparing to leave for my mom's house what what does that mean I mean you're in the front room on that couch where you say you laid down the Suburban is just right outside what all are you doing I don't know if I got up and went to my room went to The Gun Room went back in that doing what you've been so clear in your new story about everything what what were you doing during these four minutes I disagree with your assertion about every detail I don't recall I know that I was getting up and I was leaving I was going to check on my mom but specifically what I was doing I don't I don't know okay I know what I wasn't doing Mr Waters and what I wasn't doing is doing anything uh as I believe you've implied that I was cleaning off or washing off or washing off guns putting guns in a raincoat and I can promise you that I wasn't doing any of that okay you phone calls were missing from the log around this relevant time period when law enforcement downloaded your phone on June 10th from my phone yeah no I don't did you delete them Mr Murdock not intentionally just around time June 7th all these calls are missing but you had nothing to do with that between June 7th and June 10th no sir I did not and I did not delete phone calls from my phone Mr Waters one of the most important things in this whole thing for me has been getting this data that I believe would exist phone calls and phone records would be part of that I've been in enough civil cases and used phone records enough times to know that you delete a phone call from your phone it doesn't disappear so I can tell you this jury and everybody who's listening that I did not intentionally delete phone calls from my phone yeah because you started talking about the your former prosecutor correct and former lawyer doing civil cases we went through that yesterday and boy you're busy bee on that phone and right out of the gate at 902 right objections overruled am I a busy bee yeah I am using my telephone at I think I call at 905 I start and call my dad and I agree that I made other phone calls and one of the first things you start talking about with law enforcement is these calls that you made to Maggie correct you remember recall that from your first statement to law enforcement one of the first things that I said to law enforcement yeah that's one of the things you talk about I'm talking about with your interview with special agent Dave Owen I don't remember that being the first thing we talked about but if Mr Owens asked me about it then I no you sure didn't you I did you don't recall no I don't I don't recall yep all right Chase what do you got it's just a sea of what we call non-contracted denials where I I did not I do not instead of didn't or don't and secondly he's saying I can tell you and I can tell this jury I can tell you it doesn't mean that he's saying that at all so that when anything comes up they're essentially well I didn't say that I just said that I could say that so this is a kind of a backing out when he says not intentionally the blink rate goes into a huge Spike what I call a context Spike so this is a key moment where I would be looking for it and we're seeing a big little uh a big mountain of blink right there and then he goes in right still at the spot when he's saying not intentionally they're shuffling in the chair which is not a common behavior for him there's immediate adapting and adjusting this mic and there's this discussion of the first things he's saying to the police here and one thing we've seen since the beginning of this case is that every effort that's made is focused at his innocence his story his timeline his suffering and his personal tragedy and the minuscule amount of time that he spends vaguely and softly suggesting that he'd like to find out who did this is washed out here by his fear of shrinking the pool of potential suspects so either he's got no concern for who did this or why they did it which in itself should be horrifying or there's a chance he's very sure who did this and his career in the law and law has just convinced him that the facts win cases as a lawyer he got convinced that facts win cases that if he could just inject enough facts his emotions aren't relevant whatsoever Scott he's so nervous that when he says not intentionally he moves forward because he's trying to get that point across that the not intentionally part that his chin hits that mic and that's how intense this is for him because he knows this is important he's trying to stay calm but as Joe Navarro says you can have a poker face but you can't have a poker body so no matter how calm he's trying to stay his body is telling us everything that's going on most everything anyway because he's doing a great job of um trying to stay calm but he's not doing very well because this is the most animated we've seen him yet up to this point his stress level is really starting to rise up because that attorney is poking at him making him getting mad trying to make him angry and it's working it's working for him he tries to get his old his old status as a prosecutor and attorney he's trying to use that say yeah I know that if you delete phone you know delete phone calls off your phone you can see it but when he was thinking about doing this when he was playing this out he didn't think it would go that far he didn't think they'd say ah you you know you're going to be in trouble for for he didn't go that far that's what he was doing he's walking around his house freaking out and deleting phone calls and things like that on his phone that goes back to those 283 steps I think that's what was going on there and again we see Morehead torso and arm arm movements and this clip than anything after this point so his his stress levels rising and he's getting a little bit angry at this point I think that the prosecutor is doing a pretty good job on on Friday up Greg what do you got and this is a really good one because he does some distancing techniques a couple of times he repeats the question twice he says my phone well no that guy's phone what the hell do you think I'm talking about number one then when he gets to the second one where he says the first thing first thing we said and he chaffs and redirects it Scott I think all of his talking and for those who don't watch us all the time chaff and redirect comes from an aircraft throwing flares to get missiles to follow the instead of the plane same idea if I regurgitate enough stuff I used to be a prosecutor and I know and I know and then he redirects and he just hides in all that garbage that he's throwing out there there's some social signaling here and I'll talk about that in just a minute because he is in his element still regardless of what you want to say he's still in South Carolina he's still in a place where people understand the way he speaks and all those things while he says my phone and he starts to deny look at that head shake or that head shake is not like anything we've seen today now where he usually does this chase you point out earlier there's a quick like if you ever see a dog when they're nervous they move rapidly you're seeing that with him so we know he's under his skin we can see that happening he interrupts himself to start to throw out some guilt in there when he starts to talk about well I know and I didn't do that maybe I haven't mistakenly deleted it there's a chase you would call it the vanishing perpetrator somebody's had his phone and been deleting messages I guess so he's saying no no I was so confused or whatever so he gets away from it but he edits as he speaks there he then repeats that question and when he says the first thing he doesn't even answer the question he does a really slick redirect say not the first thing we talked about that's a redirect so it gives him the chance just for you to have to ask a second third and fourth question to get there he touches his chest at one point and some of us are going to say probably if you think culturally that could mean something if you're from Low Country South Carolina and people do this when they say something and they're being genuine he may do that to persuade people in the Middle East it's common for people to put their hand to their chest and they're being honest or when they're being sincere same thing could be true in Low Country I would venture to say probably there you know we all Southern Boys are raised by Southern women and a lot of Southern going to do that in that process and finally I'd say this this guy has a legacy a long Legacy where his family has been the prosecutors or solicitors in that area for 100 years he's been involved with it and everybody in that culture in that Maslow is going to recognize him as somebody a big fish in that pond somehow so whatever cultural signaling he's sending that we aren't even aware of is going to impact their decision-making ability and how they perceive this situation why would this powerful person do that is what he's trying to Signal out and that's a that's a survival thing now they chose to put him on the stand and for him to go in and say yes I stole from people and yes I did this and yes I was a drug user and no I don't know where 12 million dollars went but that doesn't make me a murderer if I'll concede these things why wouldn't I concede that chase we're back to what you were talking about earlier and back to where I said if you flip the stone over they'll stop looking and say oh yeah yeah he's a liar he's a thief he's a drug user but he probably didn't kill his family I think that's what we're seeing Mark what do you got uh yeah so if you go back to our previous episode on this guy you'll notice that we recognized in the car that the phone was going to be an issue that there's something incongruent with some some kind of call in there and here it is coming up and here it is we are seeing that extra pressure and stress come on him at this point Chase you're right facts will win the case well when I was studying logic here's what I understood to be a fact for a fact you need um sensible data by sensible data that means it has to be sensed you've got to be able to touch it taste it smell it uh see it hear it and for it to be a really good fact you need at least three separate pieces of sensible data and here so the guy says look you know these records just don't disappear yeah but if you eliminate one of the pieces of sense of data you may be only left with another piece or two more pieces and it's harder to form a fact for a jury so you well know if you can destroy some elements of sensible data you diminish the idea of somebody having a fact in front of them they can maybe still get a fact out of it but does it really convince a jury so I would say he's clever he knows what he's doing here uh with this missing log because he says um you know he didn't he didn't or did you delete them not intentionally so probably you deleted them probably you did they're certainly deleted aren't they they've certainly gone and I don't know who else has access to the phone and I'm not sure how you delete these things unintentionally I mean it's possible it's possible but now look look what's happened we're into the realm of possibility and possibility isn't fact and we want facts in order to convict somebody around this we get the microphone adaption just has been said before we get eye blocking we get swinging from side to side one more I'll add to that is we get a shoulder barge as well the shoulder just moves forward and barges forward with that so I think you're right Scott he's getting he's getting more aggressive as we go forward we'll see that escalate going forward as well there that's all I got on that one do you know why so many phone calls were missing from the log around this relevant time period when law enforcement downloaded your phone on June 10th from my phone yeah no I don't did you delete them Mr Murdock not intentionally just around time June 7th all these calls are missing but you had nothing to do with that between June 7th and June 10th no sir I did not and I did not delete phone calls from my phone Mr Waters one of the most important things in this whole thing for me has been getting this data that I believe would exist phone calls and phone records would be part of that I've been in enough civil cases and used phone records enough times to know that you delete a phone call from your phone it doesn't disappear so I can tell you this jury and everybody who's listening that I did not intentionally delete phone calls from my phone yeah because you started talking about the your former prosecutor correct and former lawyer doing civil cases we went through that yesterday and boy you're busy bee on that phone and right out of the gate at 902 right the projections overruled am I a busy bee yeah I am using my telephone at I think I call at 905 I start and call my dad and I agree that I made other phone calls and one of the first things you start talking about with law enforcement is these calls that you made to Maggie correct you remember recall that from your first statement to law enforcement one of the first things that I said to law enforcement yeah that's one of the things you talk about I'm talking about with your interview with special agent Dave Owen I don't remember that being the first thing we talked about but if Mr Owens asked me about it then I no you sure didn't you I did you don't recall no I don't I don't recall would you dispute me if I said you brought it up did I brought up what brought up what Mr Murdoch your phone phone calls to Maggie yes that I brought up phone calls to Maggie to David Owens I'm asking you is that one of the things that you talked about in your first interview with Dave Owen that you pulled out your phone and started looking at it that you brought that up do you recall that well but that's not what you asked Mr Owens you you asked me was that the first thing that I talked to him about and that was the discrepancy I certainly don't dispute that Mr Owens and I talked about phone calls but that's not what she said so it used to be clear well the real reason Mr Murdoch is that you as a lawyer and prosecutor are up at 902 finally having your phone in your hand moving around and making all these phone calls to manufacture an alibi is that not true absolutely incorrect so that's just another circumstance and coincidence in this particular case right around the time that you lied to law enforcement about maybe one of the most important facts in the case it is absolute fact that I am not manufacturing an alibi as you say how do you remember so much detail about everything else but you don't remember what you were specifically doing to generate 283 steps while you're making these all these phone calls in the same four minute period I remember unequivocally without any doubt which is clear a mind as I could have at any time that I never manufactured any Alibi in any way shape or form because I did not and would not hurt my wife and my child so why so I know for a fact that I never ever ever created an alibi why don't you remember what you were doing when you were so busy for this four minute critical period I do remember what I was doing other than I was getting ready to go well that's because that's what I was doing foreign Mark what do you got uh yeah so let me follow this logic idea just because it interests me and I hope it interests all of you uh as well what we've got here is is and I think why it's kind of confounding the prosecution as well and there feels to meet a bit of a stalemate on at the moment um is there's a bit of Black Box thinking here going on uh and I get this from a client that I have who um his his industry his job is there are transactions that get done in the financial industry in what's called a black box it means you can't see what happens in there and the reason you can't see what happens is if you knew what was happening you might be able to do it faster than the person doing the transaction so what he does is is he looks outside the box and predicts based on looking outside the box what's going to happen in the box and if you can do it faster he manages to do the transaction before the transaction happens and you make a lot of money doing that well what this guy is saying is saying look I'll tell you what isn't happening inside the box but I won't tell you what is happening inside the box and he says that by going um uh I I can it's an absolute fact that I was not it's an absolute fact that I was not doing X well number one the the founder one of the founders of objectionism objectivism and Rand said you cannot prove a negative in fact you cannot be bought into court to prove a negative here he is going I'm gonna tell you as a fact what isn't inside the box that you can't see into well that's almost impossible to argue other than the way that I've just argued it with you right now and were you interested do you get it I mean could a jury get that could a jury go oh I see what's happening there I I mean it's just confounding and so at this point for me I think there's a real stalemate on I'm not saying that this guy is is the brightest person ever but he knows enough to cause a stalemate and cause a problem in this case uh Greg what do you got on this one yeah so you guys know I'm not as sophisticated as Mark I'm not going to talk to you about the black box I'm going to talk to you about fencing in a pig because this guy's got a pig to talk about here and he's what he's gonna do is by the time you get to his pig or his ugly baby or his whatever he's gonna have shown you enough beautiful things that you forget how ugly his pig is and what he's doing with words like emphatics all these words are about absolutely and no way and I can tell you absolutely what I did not do he gets to very few facts right there in the middle I didn't kill my family so he's got lots of room to talk lots of space there to get to those words before he actually says anything and then on the backside he does more of those words so that's wrapped in this beautiful rapper no matter how ugly what thing he's talking about is interestingly the way he goes about it his guy asks him a question and there's a lot of one-upmanship going on between two attorneys right here you can't miss it I often hear people say this looks defensive and I say yeah if that looks defensive does that look defensive suddenly no because I'm looking down my nose at you and if I'm standing over you it's powerful and that guy's doing it he's looking over the thing and down his glasses at him so there's a competition between the two of them this guy forces the prosecutor to rephrase his question three times well that's building the fence what he's doing is building a wall around the question he's willing to answer and when he gets down to the end he is ready for it and marky's down now to where his shoulders are down his hands are between his legs are somewhere down there and Chase we talk about it all the time from fight or flight he's created an exoskeleton but make no mistake he's not in full blown fight or flight what he does you can tell when he gets to the point he's in charge because his voice tone changes now I got you in my box my pig is safe Scott what do you got not our father all right his anger's coming into play here even more because his voice volume goes up his Stones his uh tone is stronger his Cadence is sped up a little bit and again like you're saying Greg there it's two attorneys Fighting Man they've got those glasses down looking at each other and like I was saying earlier martik doesn't even use his glasses he's not reading anything he's not he's not holding them up and doing that putting them back on he's just got him on to do that I think also let's start paying more attention to his forehead let's see how that that knitting of his brow what's happening with that because we see anger there as those things come together and they push down like this now if we'll pay attention to his eyes as well what's happening is when someone gets mad or they pretend they're mad at you and they they frown and their eyes all squint at you that's fine they're not that mad take it from me when someone's sitting across from me and they're getting all mad there's a there's a way you can look at it and say this is real or it's fake and what you're looking for is when they start squinting their eyes they want to they'll start opening them a little bit as they're squinting it'll look like they're opening them at the same time gives them that crazy look to see in movies that's what you're looking for that's how you know if somebody's really mad then their face is going to get all red just to to go over here just for a second their face will get all red and it's going to go pale when it goes pale that's when they're coming at you that's when their brain said okay we're going because all the blood is from the face out to their muscles and their arms and legs because they're coming across the table at you aren't they going to do whatever are they going to do so that's what we're seeing here is the eyes are getting a little bit wide but that's because there's one little bit and we're seeing the inside the inside part of that get wide that's why it's got that that nutty look on his face and when it's again when he's talking about talking on the phone when I when I have to think about something I get up I'm one of those people that gets up and walks around in circles and talks and I gotta cross my arms and I do this a lot when I'm thinking I always touch my face that's what I really think that's what he's doing in there he's what I think the the prosecutor nailed it I think he's in there walking around maybe not in a panic but close to it because that's a lot of steps it doesn't sound like a lot 283 but in that short amount of time when you're on the phone doing that that's what he's doing he's walking around deleting those phone calls walking around in circles I would imagine in circles uh also at the end he's he uses severity softening when he says I would never hurt my wife or child that's severity softening we see that quite often when someone's done something like this they shouldn't have and it's horrible they won't say I didn't kill my wife and my child or I wouldn't kill I wouldn't kill anybody I didn't kill him no they say I would never hurt them well would you ever shoot them would you ever shoot either one of them both of them out of the kettle it's a that that's trying to make it sound not as bad what he did that's why they do that it's a subconscious thing quite often sometimes it isn't Chase what do you got yeah I agree this morning when I was watching this it was 5 a.m sun hadn't come up yet and I reset my step counter and I did 288 steps in this hotel room here and it's it's a lot it it took me a minute so I I just wanted to recreate it and see what that actually was like and in this video where he says absolutely incorrect this is another perfect head nod with a confirmation glance uh to the jury and there's some severity softening Scott you talked about he uses hurt and paired with that is psychological distancing without using the name of wife and child he just uses wife and child doesn't say their names so this lessens the internal feeling of severity so like instead of Steel somebody might say take instead of murder they might say hurt like Scott was saying there so people who are innocent are more likely to use the more severe words to illustrate and show you the severity of what happened to their family or what happened to the victim and also the severity of what they saw the memory that they saw if they're not the killer they want you to understand how severe it is so those words are more likely to come out in one area way less likely which is why in my opinion they're more reliable than a lot of things and also in the sentence no use of the victim's names here so we'll call that psychological distancing and this is common for guilty people and I believe it might help to lessen uh the stress of the denial both of these when compounded but the other Behavior we've seen just turn black as we're seeing this it's we're seeing a career attorney career attorney who's lived his life using facts to win for getting that emotions play way more of a role in court than lots of other stuff would you dispute me if I said you brought it up did I brought up what brought up what Mr Murdoch your phone phone calls to Maggie yes that I brought up phone calls to Maggie to David Owens I'm asking you is that one of the things that you talked about in your first interview with Dave Owen did you pulled out your phone and started looking at it that you brought that up do you recall that well but that's not what you asked Mr Owens you you asked me was that the first thing that I talked to him about and that was the discrepancy I certainly don't dispute that Mr Owens and I talked about phone calls but that's not what she said so it used to be clear well the real reason Mr Murdoch is that you as a lawyer and prosecutor or up at 902 finally having your phone in your hand moving around and making all these phone calls to manufacture an alibi is that not true absolutely incorrect so that's just another circumstance and coincidence in this particular case right around the time that you lied to law enforcement about maybe one of the most important facts in the case I meant before the question it is an absolute fact that I am not Manufacturing in Alibi as you say how do you remember so much detail about everything else but you don't remember what you were specifically doing to generate 283 steps while you're making these all these phone calls in the same four minute period I remember unequivocally without any doubt it is clear a mind as I could have at any time that I never manufactured any Alibi in any way shape or form because I did not and would not hurt my wife and my child so why so I know for a fact that I never ever ever created an alibi why don't you remember what you were doing when you were so busy for this four minute critical period I do remember what I was doing other than I was getting ready to go well that's because that's what I was doing okay well let's keep going you made those calls to Maggie in that four minute period you had just seen them a few minutes ago when you say you went down there and came right back why didn't you just take that quick little lift 1100 yards away and stop by see why they didn't answer the call you're obviously wanting to get in touch with them why didn't you go down to the kennels that were so close by there was no reason to I mean making multiple missed calls to Maggie and she's so close and there's a driveway right there why do you not just go down there and say hey guys I'm heading over there it wasn't important to do that me me making those phone calls is simply me letting I believe I called Maggie in I believe called I called Paul but that that that's simply me just letting them know that I'm leaving for a minute I'll be back the fact that that they don't answer Is Not Unusual at all now it is odd it is unusual that they never call me back um and but but at that moment the fact that there's a missed call when I know they're on the property I mean that doesn't even register at all that's perfectly normal to try to call somebody who's on the property and not be able to get them and and as far as not going down there there was no sense of urgency Maggie was with Paul you know she should be a safe as she could be and she said all right Greg what do you got yeah this is in the beginning of this we see this attorney or this prosecutor lean in doing that thing again that's your parent berating you that's not a questioner that's your parents saying where were you tonight I know where you were and going in at you and this guy sees it he's got a grief muscle and a blink rate at no need we see that grief muscle come in when he says there is no need to go in and we say that's a little horseshoe Arch there and his blank rate increases as he says that but only when he's not making eye contact and we say that a person when they're concentrating or when they're focused on something that I that blink rate decreases when he goes back to that romancer kind of personality where he only has eyes for the prosecutor and he gets ilock the blink rate disappears really interesting we could say that would be a pro that could be processor speed I don't think so in this case I think it's stress I think he is going back to pay attention and then his brow does a really weird thing that they didn't answer it isn't a request for approval isn't a quick Flex up and hold for a second and drop you it just there's something fleeting that crosses his brow look does it mean anything don't know but it's different than what we've seen up to now and being a baseliner when something is that different I really want to poke in and I would have said hold on let's talk about that for a minute I don't know what's going on in his head there but it doesn't matter he is adapting with one hand as he says not abnormal he adapts and we say that's you touch you groom you may do any kind of repetitive Behavior to release nervous energy but it's also relaxing and he's doing a one-handed batter on Deck he's rubbing his thigh appears from what I can see that's the way to release release nervous energy and then he gets to this she should be as safe as possible or some words to that effect you know some mouth grooming thing well she should be but if your son is no longer there then she can't be so who knows what those words mean but those two fleeting brow change and that mouth are really big deviations from Baseline so I want to dig in and understand why Chase what do you got yeah overall in this video there's something missing so we'll go back to this in every single video that we do I'm asking one question first so when I sit down in the morning to look at these I only look at them about one time and I asked this one question above everything else what's missing concealed or hidden in this clip and in this clip and throughout the others there's missing regret innocent people will almost always express regret wishing that they could have done something differently I wish I would have done that and there's no regret that he didn't go down there no wish to have the chance to do it again so this uh could have been avoided only just the communication of facts to support Innocents here and at the end of this clip there's one of the Hallmarks that I look for in every case and this is called emotional dysregulation so when he's saying uh she should be as safe as she could be I think that's it we see anger appear on the face when he's trying to show sadness to the jury and he even turns his face to the jury when he believes the emotion is finally showing up on his face this happens when somebody's struggling to create an emotion to be persuasive and a lot of times when this happens the true emotion comes out instead of the one they're trying to convey and this shows us the difference between displaying an emotion and feeling an emotion which is a huge point right here that's all I got Mark uh yeah absolutely agree with that uh let me take you through it from my point of view it's an interesting battle that's going on here you get the prosecutor at the start saying let's keep going there's a long pause and then a tired out breath I think that's self-talk for him I think he's saying come on keep going keep going I think he's getting tired throughout this because this is quite a battle this is a a tough character to get get through to or get good answers out of as a prosecutor because he knows how to stick that pig in the black box or whatever wherever we're at with that one with that one now put lipstick on the pig and stick it in a black box wherever we're at on that one now um and so and I think and so at the start of it I think wow the prosecutor is tired now he's on his back foot here however he does lean forward he does come back with with a good enough barrage of questions questions that I think you're right Chase what the what the the defendant here decides to do is is drop logic or is his his try and try and defeat the logic drop that idea and go I'll show them an emotion and I think that's a baseline change for him it's a baseline tactic change I think you're absolutely right he isn't able to conjure the emotion that he'd like to conjure what comes forward is the true emotion and that's anger for the prosecutor so we get targeted eyes on the prosecutor we get a top uh lip very very tight we get the upper teeth showing we get a heavy brow the brow comes down and the head drops and we get some disgust in the nose as well enough information there for me to say he is angry and aggressive at the prosecutor so at the start of this little battle I think ah prosecutors on the back foot actually it doesn't take him long to get the the the um the person on the stand there uh Murdo uh on the back foot as well so great to see that one Scott what do you got on this I agree with you Mark and I think I think that happened at the beginning because he'd rehearses this answer I think in witness prep he was ready for it so I think that's what happened because it's so smooth there at the beginning everything's just going the way it should plenty of illustrators that's that lets us know that his his stress levels drop so he looks the way he should look everything looks fine but again let's start taking a look at that brow again because in the last 40 seconds of this clip that brow is just as smooth as a baby's bottom when you when you look at nothing happening and look at the things he's talking about in there when he's doing that not it shouldn't be that way also when he says she says she's she was uh as safe as she could be well yeah she was just I think he wanted to say she's as safe as she could be as if you know even if like if I was there well you know how that turned out but but I agree with you he got him he got him uh Back Against The Wall there at the very end like that that was good well let's keep going you made those calls to Maggie in that four minute period you had just seen them a few minutes ago when you say you went down there and came right back why didn't you just take that quick little lift 1100 yards away and stop by see why they didn't answer the call you're obviously wanting to get in touch with them why didn't you go down to the kennels that were so close by there was no reason to I mean making multiple missed calls to Maggie and she's so close and there's a driveway right there why do you not just go down there and say hey guys I'm heading over there it wasn't important to do that me me making those phone calls is simply me letting I believe I call Maggie and I believe called I called Paul but that that that's simply Meek just letting them know that I'm leaving for a minute I'll be back the fact that that they don't answer Is Not Unusual at all now it is odd it is unusual that they never call me back um and but but at that moment the fact that there's a missed call when I know they're on the property I mean that doesn't even register at all that's perfectly normal to try to call somebody who's on the property and not be able to get them and and as far as not going down there there was no sense of urgency Maggie was with Paul you know she should be a safe as she could be yeah so you're saying that you never called her and had a conversation that day asking her to come home specifically on the night of June 7th 2021. Maggie and I had a couple of phone conversations that day what I'm telling you is that before she left no I don't believe we had a phone call about that we may have discussed it during the phone call but I didn't make a phone call to her to ask her to come home I'd already told her I wanted her to come home I always wanted her to come home you heard Marion say that too that I always wanted Maggie with me Maggie thought enough of it to talk about it with Marion didn't she the fact that I wanted her to come home correct well sure I mean that's what Marion said so you're denying that you called Megan specifically asked her to come home that night I didn't make a phone call to Maggie to ask her to come home that night I asked Maggie to come home long before she ever left and I probably asked her again each time I talked to her but I didn't make the phone call specifically for that as you're saying and to be clear I'm certain that if Maggie was certain that she was spending the night Bubba would have been with her and probably Grady all right Chase what do you got the the question was about asking her to come over that night and the bizarre response that we're seeing here is the result of fear if you ask yourself what's missing or concealed just that one question you'll get the answer of clarity or honesty then you might wonder why someone who clearly and obviously asked Maggie to come over would be nervous or fearful about clearly and openly saying that this is what happened what's truly missing is his ability to comfortably say he wanted her to come over this is a gigantic issue here the problem is with communicating intent which would lead us to believe there's something that he's wanting to conceal about his intention to have her come over it's clear it's missing it's concealed right here and it's playing this day and something that should otherwise be innocent there's no other explanation for this behavior and his complete uh lack of denial here just means that there's something extremely important being hidden about the intention to ask her to come to the house Scott all right yeah this I'm going to talk about one thing here first let me Define absolutist an absolutist is someone who says every time somebody throws a quick shoulder shrug then they're lied or every time they scratch their nose that means they're lying every time they do a specific thing that means they're lying there are no uh true deception cues when somebody does something doesn't mean they're lying or telling the truth having said that I'm gonna say most often I think I've found I think I found something here when we see that that brow feral like that then that odd way I think he's I think that's what he's he's being deceptive almost every time I'm just gonna talk about this one thing because I'm horrified I'm actually saying this is I just hold tedx talk on on absolutism how it's it's you know how why it bothers me that's my soapbox but when we're seeing this thing almost every time he's being deceptive and I say almost every time so so make sure you pay attention to that part of it but I think that's one of his cues of deception because as he's trying to convince that eyebrow the the brow goes up like that and Greg's request for approval but at the same time he's trying to convey that emotion of sadness and so we get this really weird look in his brow that's what I think is going on that's all I'll say about that Greg what do you got yeah interesting what you're seeing I see as well and the way I categorized it is this go back through this video yourself pay attention to when is brow furrows when he's talking about his family nothing nothing nothing when an eyewitness comes up all that stuff gets drawn when you're being assaulted with a question all that stuff gets strong but when he's talking about his wife forehead's pretty smooth we also know we have that study from British Columbia University that says that when people are being deceptive often they'll try to show sadness in their forehead instead of it or they'll try to show grief and what will happen is that whole frontalis muscle will contract and give you a very different approach so could be that but when I pay attention to it I wonder why is there no contraction that muscle except for when this guy is on him and bringing up this eyewitness I think it's a confrontation between these two guys I think part of it is because I'm a murder it they started the entire thing if when it first started coming out I think he was on the stand for nine hours but when I first watched the very first video he said aren't you from a legacy of so he's establishing this attorney established up front you're somebody and then he disrespects him I think we're seeing that response to the disrespect to the being pushed in the corner I don't think it has anything to do with the people I don't think anything to do with the case I think he has to do with him just my opinion Mark what do you got uh yeah a couple of things here that I really love about this number one is just how quickly things can change because in that last video started that I thought the prosecutor was dead in the water I thought like he's going nowhere with this he's tired he's out and now he's really got this guy under under pressure at this point we're seeing lots of adaption on the microphone there again doesn't need there's nothing wrong with the sound he's just trying to displace energy that's coming from the stress and pressure there um we're seeing swaying from side to side we're seeing lots of single shrugs as well but let's look around that to see other elements that suggest something very very different is happening here look at the foot of the guy that's behind the prosecutor I don't know who this guy is I don't know whose side that person is on but I'm going to assume they have a good knowledge of what's going on in the court at the moment simply because of where they're placed I don't know who they are they are what their job is whose side they might be on or not I'm just assuming because of how upfront they are they have some status there and therefore some some knowledge some intelligence of it there is a point where the foot Rises right up in the air now a foot Rising can mean a positive thing or a negative thing just as Scott says there are no absolutes but it's a massive change in that individual's Baseline massive change go back have a look at when that foot Rises and what it's around and think to yourself why is that individual either very positive or very negative about what just happened because they know something has changed dramatically and there's an issue there which is either going to do well for somebody or badly for somebody so you're saying that you never called her and had a conversation that day asking her to come home specifically on the night of June 7th 2021. Maggie and I had a couple of phone conversations that day what I'm telling you is that before she left no I don't believe we had a phone call about that we may have discussed it during the phone call but I didn't make a phone call to her to ask her to come home I'd already told her I wanted her to come home I always wanted her to come home you heard Marion say that too that I always wanted Maggie with me Maggie thought enough of it to talk about it with Marion didn't you the fact that I wanted her to come home correct well sure I mean that's what Marion said so you're denying that you called Megan specifically asked her to come home that night make a phone call to Maggie to ask her to come home that night I asked Maggie to come home long before she ever left and I probably asked her again each time I talked to her but I didn't make the phone call specifically for that as you're saying okay and to be clear I'm certain that if Maggie was certain that she was spending the night Bubba would have been with her and probably Grady you were asked by law enforcement how long you were at your mother's house you said 45 minutes to an hour isn't that correct I think I said a couple of different things but I think at one time I did say that but you know routinely through this thing I kept saying you know when you get this data you'll see exactly when you look at my phone you'll see exactly when you do you know so you know me giving the times was always given with the thought that okay that there's OnStar out there there's whatever but when you had a conversation with Miss Shelley after the fact you actually asked her to say that you were there longer than 20 minutes you know I heard Shelley's testimony I believe Shelly to be a good person uh I wasn't trying to influence Shelley on any particular length of time because at the beginning of this I believe that data would show what data would show and for me to tell her to say something when my own star is going to show something different just doesn't make any sense so you know I I can't ask that what my recollection is is that I told Shelly that y'all that law enforcement would be talking to her we may have discussed how long I was there at that point in time if I thought I was there 45 minutes I may have said I was here 45 minutes but you know I can't tell you all right Greg what do you got yeah this is a really good example of what happens when a person has had a long time to deconflict and to be prepared to pitch and to defend that lie because what happens and let's assume for a minute he's telling a lie you know we all have our opinions but and that's what all of this is as Chase will often point out but this guy is acting like his brain was operating just like it does today that night let's assume he did this his brain would not be operating like it does because we have that switch in our brain that flips us into limbic thought of cat brain and we're going to do something that seems natural we're going to delete phone messages we're going to say hey Chase tell people I was here for 45 minutes we're not thinking about OnStar we're not thinking about that kind of stuff because our rational brain is not functioning our protective brain is functioning so what you should know is that likely if he did this he would not have thought of all those pieces no matter how much he knows because your rational brain is not engaged I knew that there's an interesting piece when he says I knew that and he starts to go into this stuff about um about OnStar and car data and that watch his blink rate this is the first time he's had hard eye contact with the guy and blinked like crazy that's a baseline deviation which tells you something that he's keenly aware that's not happening and then he attacks the witness I mean those of you who aren't Southern might not understand when I said I know she's a fine woman but whether he said but or not he just said but that was passive aggressive language for I'm questioning whether or not she is being above board in that I'll leave it at that and say uh Chase what do you got yep I agree with you uh when innocent people are lied about they get pissed off universally and there's almost no exception to this guilty people have one major thing in common that's so predictable that it's almost a rule they have a very hard time calling somebody a liar if that person is telling the truth and innocent people will clearly confidently and comfortably call a lie a lie his inability to say that's a lie should be scary here and then he refers to the entire murder and the investigation as this thing which I thought was extremely unusual and I think what's interesting here is that we've seen no desire in every single clip for him to clear his name as fast as possible and move on so the perpetrator can be caught no suggestion that the police should be looking elsewhere and guilty people will very commonly fear telling the police to look elsewhere or find out who did this out of a fear of attracting attention because that's an attention attractor to do that and I'll just leave it at that Scott all right at the beginning showing lots of cues of discomfort because he's adjusting that microphone he's moving around he's doing his glasses he's scrubbing around his seat and he looks around his brows furrowed again and he starts using these stiff illustrators and he starts turtleing at the same time something's up here this really is his anger of course is growing again he's getting stressed again but there's something else going on in there and with the second answer that he gives he starts that swaying from side to side as he goes for that microphone again then we see him turn in a couple of those uh short shoulder shrugs as well so I think what's Happening Here is he's blending the truth with a lie as you do in these situations because some things we know happen and some things we don't know what happened but he's putting those blending those together as as a to to make his story and I think that's why we're seeing all this odd behavior and that we're seeing the truth and then deception butted up against each other and I think that's fantastic seeing that and understanding what that is Mark what do you got yeah I think there's a real transition Point here in terms of what he's now relying on for his tactic around this uh again I think the prosecutor has now really got him on a bit of a back foot here it's really excellent the way it's gone because I just wouldn't have seen it going this way um now why do I think this well just as you say Scott the anger is building again we're seeing those adaptions we're seeing that swaying from side to side everything that you mentioned uh right there but we also get him saying look the the data will show what the data shows well that's not via negative he's now moved from the Via negative of like well I don't remember and and we don't know and you know I'm gonna tell you it's this to look look at the data and look at that what what that shows well we know that there's a bit of a lack of data around this so he's on a good foot there but simply from moving from negative to positive live as a tactic I think that means he's being forced into a change not he's choosing to change here so I'm interested to see where this goes if the prosecution can keep up this pressure and get him somewhere and when you were asked by law enforcement how long you were at your mother's house you said 45 minutes to an hour wasn't that correct I think I said a couple of different things but I think at one time I did say that but you know routinely through this thing I kept saying you know when you get this data you'll see exactly when you look at my phone you'll see exactly when you do you know so you know the me giving to times was always given with the thought that okay that there's OnStar out there there's whatever but when you had a conversation with Miss Shelley after the fact you actually asked her to say that you were there longer than 20 minutes you know I heard Shelley's testimony I I believe Shelly to be a good person uh I wasn't trying to influence Shelley on any particular length of time because at the beginning of this I believe that data would show what data would show and for me to tell her to say something when my own star is going to show something different just doesn't make any sense so you know I I can't answer that what my recollection is is that I told Shelley that y'all that law enforcement would be talking to her we may have discussed how long I was there at that point in time if I thought I was there 45 minutes I may have said I was here 45 minutes but you know I can't tell you all right that Blanca testified too that you talked to her about the clothes that you were wearing that made her uncomfortable correct ask that question again it's similar to your conversation with Blanca that she testified about when you talk to her about the clothes that you were supposedly wearing what made her feel uncomfortable do you remember that testimony sir what's similar to that well that you're talking to both of these individuals about their testimony in a manner that's inconsistent with what they know no I don't I don't think I don't I don't think your assertion is accurate you have to understand this on August the 11th when I went to meet with David Owens and in that David Owens asked me about he showed me that Snapchat and asked me about clothes that I had on and um shortly after that the next time I was with Blanca I asked Blanca about those clothes because David Owens had asked me about him and was making he made an issue about it and so I checked with Blanca to see what what I specifically uh asked Blanca and it was an issue to me so I got block and I said I need you to sit down and talk with me about this this is important do you remember um my clothes when you came to Moselle that day and she remembered exactly what she testified to she remembered that my pants were there she wasn't sure if the shirt was there at that time I think she actually thought the shirt was there but she was clear that she wasn't sure about that um but oh no no she wasn't unsure but she didn't remember um but assumed that it was so that was the conversation that and why I was asking Blanca well again you're very specific about your memories of that conversation is that correct Mr Murdock you dang right I'm I'm consistent about that because a very short time before that David Owens is asking me questions and telling me I'm a suspect in the murder of my wife and my child and asking me about my clothes you dang right it was important important right and you dang right I remember what why I went to her and for what reason because the only thing you're concerned about is yourself you're not concerned about giving accurate information to law enforcement correct what's the reason for that Mr Murdoch why don't you want to give accurate information to law enforcement why do you want to talk to these women who both are employed by you or your family and try to influence what they are going to say I I did want to give law enforcement accurate information I told a lie about being down there and I got myself led to that but I wanted to give them as much I knew that I hadn't done this and I wanted to give them as much accurate information as I could but the reason I went to Blanca is specifically because David Owens talking to me on August the 11th Greg what do you got all right exactly so I got a ton of stuff on this one only because I just sitting watching he's bleeding everywhere you turn first of all outright pause is the guy asking a question he gets to it's almost like he's saying this is a hard one then he starts to parse words and these are two lawyers going at it but he's adapting when he's doing it Andy's turtling he's getting smaller and smaller and smaller he does clothes grooming I'm not going to go in order I'm just going to tell you everything I see he Grooms his clothing he does all kinds of adapting and we say grooming clothing and all that we mean the person's releasing nervous energy in some way and they get accustomed to doing that over the years and they become habitual for them often so for example like I was in front of an audience all the time maybe straighten his clothes may do that kind of thing when he gets to talking about David Owens boom boom boom boom boom that blank rate goes up this is when he was called in and the first time they asked him out loud in a police interrogation and did you kill your wife and son so his blink rate goes up and he looks down into his right which we associate with emotion one of those few things that we see pretty consistently among all people now his Cadence shift starts to go and he's navigating languages he tries to speak and as he's attacked about asking this employee you see his him then um do the request for approval as he's talking is he's telling you why I did it and all those kinds of things we see that request for approval up uh let's see he does a lip compression and emotional control at one place and he says you talk to her about what and then see if I can read my own handwriting he goes back to that covering himself up in the fact that I've made myself into this martyr because I did lie I'm wed to that lie using powerful language about I've told you I lied about that night that's the only lie I've told and there's a place at the very end where he actually adapts for one of the more powerful things as he touches his face for the first time as he's closing this out guys we don't know what a person's thinking what we can tell you is when we see all this deviation from what's normal something else is going on their head so when he's telling go all the way back to the beginning video when he's telling and hopping along like little rabbit one thing's going on but the minute his brain starts to stutter and he starts to change his speech pattern and we see adapters and we see him pulling back and wrapping himself in all of his good glory that he's done something good by telling you that he lied and he's telling you about all of his sins what we're seeing here is a person now getting backed into the corner and I think Mark you've talked about it last time this guy's got him back in the ropes two back-to-back eyewitnesses Mark what do you got yeah I couldn't agree more just like three videos ago I thought the prosecutor was dead in the water although this guy's dining as well walk out now he's he's now got this guy this this defendant is now doing full improvisation I think I don't think he's rehearsed any elements of this certainly put together in this it's an absolute dog's dinner of a story going on here uh absolutely right uh Greg we got the we get the glasses coming off as well that's a a break from the Baseline as well there's the blink rate is going right up all the other things that you've mentioned there he's now using he would do the mic adaption there but he's now using that to break eye contact and look at the mic so he's using that as more of a barrier a shield so he can have a break from it I think it's fascinating uh what's what's happening here and I'm fascinated to see where it goes because I'm kind of hopeful uh about it Scott what do you got on this one all right uh at that first question we see him lean back a little bit and this can indicate a couple of things it can indicate he doesn't understand what's happening or he feels like it's aggressive and it's kind of hitting him weird but he did he but I think he doesn't understand the question I think it's it's a combination about I think he doesn't understand it and it sort of takes him back a little bit as it hits him then we're seeing cues of aggression as his head comes forward and his eyes lock on the prosecutor so I think you're I think you're right about that Mark he's he's getting a little bit worried at this point then he grabs the mic he pulls on he starts fidgeting around a little bit then he takes his glasses off and his vocal tone gets a little bit louder a little bit more harsh so you nail all that stuff as well from what I'm seeing too and then uh as when check this out when he's talking to the jury he turns toward the jury as there to his right when he's being all emotional when he's crying and stuff he he's cognizant enough in there to go okay I need to let the jury see me being emotional see that's another thing that bugs me about this guy the only time he turns toward them hard is when he's being all emotional but when he's being angry he fully turns toward uh the prosecutor now watch when he's being emotional and deal with the prosecutor at the same time he he'll he'll walk his head just he'll just go back far enough just so they can still see his face and he'll track him with his eyes like that Predator like we saw earlier and they'll track him like that the the prosecutor otherwise he's wanting the the jury to see his his emotion and how sad he is about everything which is I'm under the impression is is fake as well then you're right Greg he grabs that uh his face and scratches on that to get rid of some of that built up stress and tension I I think he's he's stressed here he's worried because he's gotten back in the corner but at the same time he's trying to pay attention to what's happening uh emotionally uh that he's supposed to be showing the jury so I think let's start paying attention to where he's aiming when he's emotional because we're going to see that come into play again here in a few minutes Chase what do you got yeah in in cases like this where there's limited emotional expression and there's minimal Behavior cues you can kind of just default to the analysis of what's missing left out or concealed so with the questions uh he's being asked the attorney picks up very specific points so which of these points is being concealed let's take a look number one refusal to call somebody a liar or Express that their testimony is inaccurate or false next is the refusal to discuss even having made these women uncomfortable which was part of the question next is a refusal to discuss their testimony and if it's false it would take Center Stage by the way if their testimony was false he would have made it Center Stage next is a refusal to discuss or even mention the attempt to influence these women's testimony so these bits of concealment paint a gigantic red arrow in a certain direction they come together to point collectively toward one what I think is a scary potential conclusion here in just this clip alone you can see how if you're able to just go through a clip and only spot what's being concealed or left out all of those items become a voice or an arrow that guide you precisely to what questions to ask or what happened in the situation in question the Blanca testified too that you talk to her about the clothes that you were wearing and made her uncomfortable correct ask that question again it's similar to your conversation with Blanca that she testified about when you talk to her about the clothes that you were supposedly wearing what made her feel uncomfortable do you remember that testimony sir what's similar to that well that you're talking to both of these individuals about their testimony in a manner that's inconsistent with what they know no I don't I don't think I don't I don't think your assertion is accurate you have to understand this on August the 11th when I went to meet with David Owens and in that David Owens asked me about he showed me that Snapchat and asked me about clothes that I had on and um shortly after that the next time I was with Blanca I asked Blanca about those clothes because David Owens had asked me about him and was making he made an issue about it and so I checked with Blanca to see what I specifically uh asked Blanca and it was an issue to me so I got blocked and I said I need you to sit down and talk with me about this this is important do you remember um my clothes when you came to Moselle that day and she remembered exactly what she testified to she remembered that my pants were there she wasn't sure if the shirt was there at that time I think she actually thought the shirt was there but she was clear that she wasn't sure about that um but oh no no she wasn't unsure but she didn't remember um but assumed that it was so that was the conversation that and why I was asking Blanca oh again you're very specific about your memories of that conversation is that correct Mr Murdock you dang right I'm I'm consistent about that because a very short time before that David Owens is asking me questions and telling me I'm a suspect in the murder of my wife and my child and asking me about my clothes you dang right it was important and you dang right I remember what why I went to her and for what reason because the only thing you're concerned about is yourself you're not concerned about giving accurate information to law enforcement correct what's the reason for that Mr Murdoch why don't you want to give accurate information to law enforcement why do you want to talk to these women who both are employed by you or your family and try to influence what they are going to say I want to give law enforcement accurate information I told a lie about being down there and I got myself wed to that but I wanted to give them as much I knew that I hadn't done this and I wanted to give them as much accurate information as I could but the reason I went to Blanca is specifically because David Owens talking to me on August the 11th you got out of the car according to what you told law enforcement repeatedly and went and check the bodies correct before you called 9-1-1 is that correct no sir that's not correct you don't you're saying you didn't say that to law enforcement I don't know what I said law enforcement was rewarders but I can tell you this I pulled up and I saw Madison powerful I jumped out of that car I noticed I went back to my car and I called 9-1-1 as quickly as I could that point in time when I got on the phone then is when I went to them and did the things that I did so what you're saying is not accurate you're saying that you didn't say very specifically to law enforcement that you went to them prior to calling 9-1-1 when after you got out of the car you told law enforcement repeatedly that you went over and checked the bodies before you called 9-1-1 no I don't if I did say that I I don't believe that's accurate did I check Maggie and Paul before I called 9-1-1 correct that's not that's not I don't that's not accurate at least that's not what I remember that's not what you remember saying or that's not what you say now happened no that's not what that's not what I believe happened okay but you don't deny that's what you said did I said did I check Maggie and Paul before I called 9-1-1 correct I don't believe that's what I said now I know I checked them but I don't believe I checked them before I call 9-1-1 because I I can pretty well remember vividly when I check pawpaw I was already on the phone with 9-1-1 hi Greg what do you got y'all keep this one short we see grief muscle for the first time and he goes down the well what I call down the well is when you pull up a motion to make you teary-eyed and that kind of thing I can't tell for tears I don't see any maybe it's just me um I don't even see like a snotty knows I see kind of a little bit of red in his nose a little bit of that kind of stuff when you ask he starts then to push and Corral the question in a way that he gets to answer what he wants to answer and once he gets back to that topic where he's comfortable responding you see all that tearing and all that stuff dry up one of my best indicators a person's crying or trying to cry is people who cry have interrupted breath his respiration is up and not interrupted I would be like okay let's just wait this one out because he's going to come right back to normal and I don't see it as that there's also no heavy swallowing we associate with crying um as we say no snotty nose I'll just leave it at that and say I think what this guy is doing is he's trying to pray on that emotional piece this is all at the end of the day after establishing a shadow of a doubt and if he is in grief and all of that then people may have a shadow of a doubt look this guy's told us all of his qualms all the things he's done wrong all of his weaknesses I think we're still playing down that show and I don't see what looks like real crime to me could be wrong Scott what do you got I think this is interesting because he's trying to conjure up a motion that emotion to grief and that's what those mouth noises are about and the mouth grooming that's what that's all about then he calls his wife mags and his son Paul Paul up to this point I think he's called her mags and called him Paul these are these little enduring endearing terms of affection that people use to make the jury feel sorry for him to feel more empathetic for that for what they're going through because oh he called them these cute little sweet little names that's what he's doing they're calling those names and notice when he does call them that it's always in this big emotional thing as he's facing the jury so still keep an eye on when he's going back and forth uh emotionally with the jury um and then watch how how fast that that fake expression of emotion goes away how fast it disappears and then when that thing disappears watch how fast he he turns back to the the uh prosecutor and can track him better without having to worry about uh showing emotion to the jury that's all say on that Mark what do you got yeah so look let me put a little litmus test on whether this might be real crying or not real crying and you do this for yourselves as well so just so you know in most personality tests I will rank very very low in in empathy very very high in analysis which means that I can somebody might be having an emotion and I'm not likely to feel that emotion I'm likely to be able to go look I think this emotion is happening because here's what I see happening that doesn't mean I'm not emotional I'm emotionless of course I have emotions and so the thing is is that if it's a real emotion and a big powerful emotion usually that will affect me and that's a good litmus test for me because I think well normally I'd be quite analytical about this but I'm actually feeling a lot of empathy for this person chances are this is absolute real emotion why because real emotions that are strong are designed to get action out of other human beings immediately and so I'm a social human being so me even though in personality tests I will rank pretty low here's how I come out of uh of this um display with this person I feel absolutely nothing absolutely nothing and I could go into the analysis of what's not right just as Greg was saying there the breathing's not right you know the this the skin tone isn't right there's so much analytically isn't right but if that were a real strong emotion about seeing your your family dead I would feel that and I rank super low on empathy but I would have empathy for that I got zero empathy probably means it's not it's not the real thing Chase what do you got on this one yeah you're saying that the mouth grooming is off the charts here we tend to do this to improve our appearance and we do it it's unconscious and if it's done during deception the brain does everything it can do to improve the appearance of the lie or the person during the lie so mouth grooming especially when you see a spike of mouth-growing behavior like this one is one of the Hallmarks that we tend to see especially when it's isolated from all the other behaviors meaning they don't do it all the time so this mouth grooming is not in his Baseline Behavior at all and he starts reorienting his body to the jury in a way that's almost like a a prank TV show like somebody trained him like every time you feel emotion you have to turn to that jury and he's probably been telling people to do this for a long time I have no doubt that he's been doing that and he thinks it works and he shifts before the emotions begin so before he thinks the emotions are ready for display then he turns to the jury and his eye contact to the prosecution after the during the question is now locked on while he's trying to display sadness at the same time his blink rate drops to zero during this point which is an extreme indicator of focus so which If Tears were in his eyes this would be hard to do to drop your blink rate like this is an indicator of extreme focus and attention the sadness somehow goes away for all the key parts of the story every key part the entire expression and everything about sadness disappears and he becomes just emotionless and sadness kind of goes away and when somebody's being truthful and can't remember something they tend to say one thing almost every single time if they're being truthful and can't remember they say I don't remember he makes an attempt at saying I don't remember but the moment he's pressed on it you'll see that he breaks down he realizes that the strategy is not working and when you press a truthful person they will continue saying they don't know you know why because they don't know you got out of the car according to what you told law enforcement repeatedly and went and check the bodies correct before you called 9-1-1 is that correct no sir that's not correct you don't you're saying you didn't say that to law enforcement I don't know what I said law enforcement Mr Waters but I can tell you this I pulled up and I saw an action Paul Paul I jumped out of that car I noticed I went back to my car and I called 9-1-1 as quickly as I could that point in time when I got on the phone then is when I went to them and did the things that I did foreign you're saying that you didn't say very specifically to law enforcement that you went to them prior to calling 9-1-1 when after you got out of the car you told law enforcement repeatedly that you went over and checked the bodies before you called 9-1-1 no I don't if I did say that I I don't believe that's accurate did I check Maggie and Paul before I called 9-1-1 that's not that's not I don't it's not accurate at least that's not what I remember that's not what you remember saying or that's not what you say now happened no that's not what that's not what I believe happened okay but you don't deny that's what you said did I said did I check Maggie and Paul before I called 9-1-1 correct I don't believe that's what I said um now I know I checked them but I don't believe I checked them before I called 9-1-1 because I I can pretty well remember vividly when I checked pawpaw I was already on the phone with 9-1-1 I saw them and I know I jumped out of my car um but I believe that before I checked them in fact I'm almost certain then I went back and I got my that's when I went and got my phone and I called 9-1-1 okay and then after I called 9-1-1 they I mean there was a little while where there wasn't I don't I don't think there was anything going on and I believe that that is the time period that I went and checked on them I don't want to blame this point but that what you're saying here today now that we have this data that's not exactly how you expressed it to law enforcement in your prior statements is that correct no sir I disagree with that totally disagree with that Mr Waters will you point to what you're talking about all right Chase what do you got don't believe these are two words we do not use to describe facts like ever and you hear it all the time in here I don't believe I made a decision to lie such a great line I want to get that on a bumper sticker somewhere I don't believe that I was lying at that point that's a direct quote here I don't believe that I was lying at that point and he says I don't believe it was a lie so and he said uh later in this video he says my dear friend Chief Alexander gave him some piece of advice to do something this is borrowing credibility borrowing Authority from from another person and his eyebrows are constantly raised and I think this is his innocence Behavior and he's learned to display this to appear innocent you can even see it in the body cam footage when he's communicating to the officer and he wants to appear innocent and blameless and this nodding that he's doing at the end we saw in the first video he did when he was in the police car we saw it many times throughout the trial we saw it twice on the body cam footage he does this every time that he's uncertain and wants to appear comfortable and he does it precisely at these moments that he's offering up something that's not very credible and wants people to accept it just so far as I've seen in my opinion uh Mark yeah yeah so another reason for me it feels like this is not true feeling that he's um creating here or or emoting here and that it's conjured up and conjured up badly uh is in my experience of helping performers all over the world at some incredibly high levels deliver emotions is when they're real when they get them for real they come so fast and Powerful that the actor forgets to hide themselves and what happens when emotions come and they're not quite right they're not good enough the actor feels disappointed in them that that it's not really true it's not quite right and they'll put their head into shade as you're seeing there with his head they'll hide their eyes because they don't want to show you like this is not really top Quality Gold emotion don't don't watch the whole of my face you'll see how false this is there's not a um it's not that there's not a pride in it it's just when real emotion comes it happens so fast that you don't have a moment to socially hide yourself later on in the emotion when you might feel embarrassed about that motion or emotional worried about it or it's stressful for you or the other people later on you might start some hiding behaviors but right early on in my experience people don't he hides his feelings right from the start and that's because I think he knows that they're not good enough it's not a good performance it isn't the gold that he's hoping to deliver to the jury at this point uh Greg what do you got on this one yeah just a handful of things but all powerful um one is you hear that that blowout that breath I learned a new term from our friend Rodney Smith this week maybe you guys all know it from polygraph I didn't descending staircase breathing I always just said controlled breathing but Rodney's an investigator for North Carolina and he explain he's a polygrapher and he explained that to me is one of the things they look for I always just said catch up breathing you know I've been sitting there controlling my breathing people exasperated or they're trying to catch up they blow out air I didn't see when he starts down this whole thing he blows that out and the grief muscle disappears now we're still talking about finding your child but now we're talking about something else we're talking about whether I said that or not he gets really polite he gets a good eye lock and he follows the guy across the room as the guy walks away powerful you can't miss it and Chase I am dead on with you I don't believe we should have a t-shirt that says I don't believe I committed a lie we could do something like that I ran construction for years and I always tell my people church words like hope feel and believe our church words they're not thinking words or not I did not do this I think this I evaluated and but we get he does that the other thing that we notice here is he is getting smaller and smaller and he doesn't just Turtle he puts the top of his skull toward this prosecutor more than one time if that's not feeling defeat if you don't see something creeping in that we know that he's starting to feel the pressure of two eyewitnesses and you lied to the police and the thing that you told her she didn't and you're getting caught in words I don't know what it takes Mark uh Scott what do you got all right uh mine's gonna be super short he he uh grabs the mic again and he turns he turns toward the jury again and then he shows all this he's doing all that weird mouthguin stuff at the top and he's just getting it's just getting weird but there are no tears and there's like you're saying Greg there's no snot so this is all just fake and then once he gets that done it delivers all that do you see that emotion almost completely disappears again there's no sniffing there's no Kleenex he's remember he's had that Kleenex before he was goof around with it but he never really used it in the court some of the Court things he did use it but he just kept rubbing his nose with it and that's why his nose is all red at some points because he just kept sticking his Kleenex up his nose and pushing it around but nothing but it's the same one the whole time he never changed it was gross if it had been real it had been really gross but I think it was fake so it was just ugh I saw them and I know I jumped out of my car um but I believe that before I checked them in fact I'm almost certain and then I went back and I got my that's when I went and got my phone and I called 9-1-1 okay and then after I called 9-1-1 they I mean it was a little while but it wasn't I don't think there was anything going on and I believe that that is the time period that I went and checked on them I don't want to blame at this point but that what you're saying here today now that we have this data that's not exactly how you expressed it to law enforcement in your prior statements is that correct no sir I disagree with that so I totally disagree with that Mr Waters will you point to what you're talking about I just want to be clear though at least on this one at some point during this interview when you were able to plan your lie about this event and you made that decision obviously it wasn't what we just played it wasn't yet it was some point after that I don't think that's a lie right there is the reason why I don't think that it's occurred before this because what I'm saying there I believe to be truthful and I know I know this I know for a fact that when David Owens asked me about my relationship with my wife and my child I know that that played a role in that and I believe that and I may be wrong but I believe that this was before that you ever heard the expression not telling the whole truth is the same as telling the LIE sure I have that's something you understood as a lawyer and a prosecutor yes all right Mark what do you got yeah just one thing I just love that idea I don't think that's a lie I think that's fan Fantastic uh that that is a put in in the in the notes down below putting the discussion down below if you really do fancy a t-shirt on that or or anything else I I will mock it up for you I'll put it up there um we'll make it as cheap as possibly we can if if you want that or any other stick that in the notes uh below and uh and let's get it done I don't think that was a lie Chase what do you got on this one let's do one more uh what I'm saying there I believe to be truthful that's a good one and this is just more lawyer speak and truthful people just don't do this and right as he's speaking about the question about his relationship with the victims he pulls his jacket closed which we call barrier creation and as he's doing that uh zoom's trying to give me a thumbs up emoji right now on my screen did it earlier for you it did it earlier it actually got one up there for some reason I don't know how all right and then there's a confirmation glance uh and a pause so we call it a confirmation glance and a pause to ensure that he's being listened to and Scott I'm going to go along with this and I'm glad you brought this up first because I had this in my notes I'd like to present a case for absolutes but only one that's a short one and I'll use you as an example Scott if I ask Scott if anybody in his neighborhood is making drugs in their house and he says not to the best of my knowledge or I don't believe so those answers could be factual and truthful but if I ask Scott if he is making drugs in his house and his answer is not to the best of my knowledge or I don't believe so those answers are absolutely ridiculous so the responses are the same but the context is different and I think this is why a checklist is only as good as the person's ability to determine contextual relevance that's all I've got Greg yeah so a few things he's adapting like all hell I mean everything is coming up to adapt now you write it I think the barrier but it's also a grooming appearance thing so he's trying to look better as he's talking listen to his words I don't think that's a lie I believe but he knows for a fact one thing he goes I don't believe that's a lie I don't think that's a lie I believe I believe I know for a fact that when he asked me the question about my relationship with Paul and Maggie is when I decided like well guess who else knows for a fact that we knew that for a fact go back and watch the first video we all red flagged on him about that I in fact said this is my favorite clip of all time because you get to see real Baseline between wonderful and wonderful so go back and watch it because all those red flags we saw through the video in the car are showing up now that he's actually telling you with his own mouth that that's when he decided to lie now is he telling the truth hard to tell with this guy I lied I lied I lied please believe me I lied Scott what do you got yeah and I think he's doing that I lied a lot of lied thing because he's trying to show that now he stopped all the lying he's being honest I think he's trying that that big reverse on everybody I don't think it's gonna hopefully it won't take I don't think it'll take uh but this is the up to this point this is the loudest and most animated he's been you're right Greg he's all over the place so far this is he's almost like a cartoon there's blink race through the roof is he's editing and arranging everything he's looking around thinking and talking and all this is on the fly like Mark was saying earlier he's just he's just going for it man and some of these things and again like Joe Navarro says you can have her poke her face but you can't have a poker body and as hard as he tries to keep all that in and looks like he's telling the truth it's not working at all not even a little bit in my opinion I just want to be clear though at least on this one at some point during this interview when it's you were able to plan your lie about this event and you made that decision obviously it wasn't what we just played it wasn't yet it was some point after that I don't think that's a lie right there is the reason why I don't think that it's occurred before this because what I'm saying there I believe to be truthful and I know I know this I know for a fact that when David Owens asked me about my relationship with my wife and my child I know that that played a role in that and I believe that and I may be wrong but I believe that this was before that you ever heard the expression not telling the whole truth it's the same as telling a lie sure I have that's something you understood as a lawyer and a prosecutor yes all right well Mark so far what do you think we've been seeing here what do you what do you got so far this is a great lesson for me in it's not over until it's over I thought that prosecutor was done halfway through this he's back he's doing a great job on a really hard candidate here so just fantastic to see somebody on the ropes uh Chase what do you got yeah I agree I just wish he would have nailed him down on the non-answer questions a little bit more but this video is a master class in determining deception in trained deposition experts it's full of all the Hallmarks that you would look for in Depot experts hesitancy psychological distancing severity softening non-answers uh chronology pronoun absence ambiguity politeness many confessions exclusions qualifiers chronological discrepancies if you wanted a checklist of what to look for when a politician's being questioned that's it there you're welcome I'll do it Greg yeah that's been trying to give you one of those all day Chase so you should get it so I'm going to add to the list that chase had I'm just going to say look this guy is prepped this guy has prepared himself it doesn't matter how much you prepare yourself you can deconflict your story as much as you want to and when you get right up to someone else who has thought of other details you haven't then you're going to bleed information to your you can't have a poker body what happens is I've got this perfect story until you start poking and oh and then Bobby and Susie said this oh well now I got to deal with that so we're seeing him dealing with that deconflict on the Fly instead of having time to go back sit in this hotel room make up new details and come that creates a really different autonomic response in the body and the reason we say this is because stress is what we're looking for and clusters of stressful behavior that deviate from the Baseline mean that we're seeing something going on in the person's head can't read his mind but it's not looking good Scott what do you seem to this point so far I think we've seen everything that we always talk about pretty much we see everything from loping to editing to you name it and there we we've pretty much seen it if you go through this again you'll learn so much if you go to the very beginning and watch it through the whole video because we cover everything in this one so I think it's a great study to see um all the things we talk about and the people and the panelists who've been watching this long are going to be able to go through and just knock these out as they watch it the first time and then of course watch it again so you can get that locked in your brain as we go through all right fellas I think this was another good one and we'll see you next time today we're going to talk about Alex murdick and Greg wants to tell us about the videos we're going to watch yeah so these videos are from right after the police showed up to the murder of his wife and son so um just start the top take your time um like when I came back here I mean I pulled up and I could see him and you know I knew something was bad I ran out I knew it was really bad oh my my boy over there I could see it was sorry and I could see it [Music] and I ran over to Maggie and actually I think I tried to turn Paul over first um uh you know I tried to turn him over and uh I don't know I figured it out um his cell phone popped out of his pocket that's started to try to do something with it thinking maybe but then I put it back down really quickly um then I went to my wife and I I mean I could see um did you touch Maggie at all I did I touched them Bo okay I tried to take I mean I tried to do it as limited as possible but I I try to take their pulse on both of them all right Chase what do you got immediately as this clip starts he's apparently just found his family who'd been killed instead of grief or sadness or even confusion we're seeing full body fear and all I'm going to do is break down the first 18 seconds of this video it's a it's I think it's a minute and a half two minutes long that's all I'm going to do here so let's go over what the fear dose of the body just really quick the first thing is these muscles right here the sternocleidomastoid muscles they jump out in front of the Carotid artery and you'll see it when somebody has that expression you go watch a compilation on YouTube people getting the crap scared out of them you'll see that then the shoulders come up then the humerus Bones come in toward the body and there's a natural tendency to protect the wrists and other joints by bringing them either closer together or closer towards the the body facing away as much as possible from a potential predator many times the lower limbs will move toward the groin so like the arms in men and covering the uterus area in women although I think there's some difference here in the genital protection it's more likely to be during three key moments when you see genital protection in your future it's when someone is feeling vulnerable threatened or insecure those are the typical three times that you'll see genital protection the rib cage lowers down slightly so you can see his posture go down we don't have bones protecting the soft organs in our belly so this forward crunch is almost a way to bring those bones in front of those soft organs then the muscles in the body during fear become more rigid it makes the overall human being more hard to attack and keep in mind this is an analysis of the first 1.5 seconds of the village video right after this he says my boy over there I could see I could see I saw keep in mind as you go through all these clips the difference in someone telling you versus selling you so what's the difference between I could see my ball on the ground and my boy was on the ground one of them is an experience and one of them someone is telling you a story so as you watch these keep in mind that someone who has done something potentially like this will often just show feelings of regret or shame or loss or sadness so being the killer does not make you immune to sadness or crying or anything like that and finally when a dramatic event happens and somebody asks what happened people who are innocent almost never default to chronologically telling you step by step the details are precisely what happens and their internal motivation to make decisions is never explained I did this because of this and because of that this is the most red flags I've seen in one video in a long time and I promise I won't go this long on the rest of them Scott what do you got all right go as long as you want dude that's good stuff I want to pay attention to three things as we're going through these videos number one let's pay attention like what Chase was talking about the growing protection number two his blink rate and number three that Kleenex he's got because he well we'll get into that in a few minutes but let's pay attention to those things the first time we see his cry face kick in it disappears instantly the second time the time it kicks in it lasts a little bit longer but it it it goes away not really fast but fairly fast and there are no tears now when something like this has happened when somebody's just seen their wife and one of their children dead they're going to be crying there's gonna be a whole lot going on are you fat he wipes his face like he's wiping tears we don't see the head shakes nose quite often when someone has seen something like that or they've been even told something like that that Horrible's that horrible has happened they'll sit there and they'll rock back and forth a little bit and they'll be doing this they'll they'll be shaking their head no because they don't understand why this happened we see no grief in the grief muscle up here we see no knitting of the brow so many things are are missing from that his voice after this initial engagement where it looks like he's laughing that but he's crying it goes back to normal as Cadence goes back to normal his voice tone and volume go back to normal his diction is spot on everything goes back to disliking just like you would if everything was just fine then he straightens out his Kleenex but he doesn't use it and that's this is going to be part of this show as he goes through part of the one that uses it as an adapter a couple of times but he just Goofs around with it so he gets a little bit loud as that with that performance of the with the kleenex and then it starts going away it starts getting quieter and quite often when a person has experienced something like this that's so horrible their eyes will be fairly wide his aren't really wide his mouth their mouths will be open their eyes are going to be red and their hands are going to be together and they're going to be like rubbing them or clasp them and ringing their hands because they they don't understand why some horribles happen and their brain is just like hey man let's not freak out here so they'll be rubbing their hands together we don't see any of that nothing and um well I'll leave it there there's so much there I can go on for two years Mark what do you got yeah I mean we could talk for an hour on just this one alone it's it's Bonkers um so I'm just going to tell you one thing a a gesture that really stood out to me which I don't I rarely see anywhere else than in uh a Michelin starred kitchen uh and and that is the the gesture of finishing salt when you when you put finishing salt over something when he crop when he cries here's something I've never seen anybody crying do to put their hands up here and then rub their fingers together to see if they've got tears or not to see if there's any wet go back take a look his hand goes up and then you see him do this it's bizarre that alone that alone because it's an outlier in anything that I've ever seen anywhere in the world so that alone causes me well other than you know at a really nice restaurant you know um and sometimes they'll do it from a height as well if they want to be really fancy about it yeah exactly like so um yeah so that alone for me causes me to go okay there's something going on here because I've never seen that gesture anywhere before and certainly why do you need to check if you've got tears or not somebody who's rich somebody who's you know loved ones have died are not checking to see if they have tears or not Greg what do you got on this one yeah so this is a rare one for me because right out of the gate my BS meter is just wide open I could just stop right here and we could be done with this video I if you stole my bicycle I would probably be more upset and this guy appears to be at the beginning of this video and I haven't ridden a bicycle since 2003. so just to give you an idea this guy doesn't show any animation no sense of urgency can we get to the facts can you help me none of that he's just waiting to tell his story that that's an odd start the other one is think about the last time you went to a funeral where people know the person is dead they see the body and you see them an hour later their eyes are bloodshot their nose is kicked nothing nothing that's a red flag for me as well this is right after right after he found his wife and son that's a big deal there's also in the beginning Chase you're talking about his anger but or his fear but I also see him rocking is he listening to Ozzy Osbourne in his head or doing something as he's getting ready for what's to come what you don't know because you didn't clip this video is just before this there's just who are you getting names and all that straight then the rocking starts and that's preparation for what's about to come and then he goes um as it leads into it why why um why um don't have to have an answer we just have to know there's something going on you look with a sword thing when I fight I ramp up by doing something too I might rock my body and do that kind of thing a lot of people who fight do that martial arts folks to it but we don't usually associate with telling a story it's not usually how we go I also said remorse doesn't mean you didn't do it and look if you killed your child and didn't expect to do horrific things to that child the things he describes you might still show it now there's also a study from 2012 at the University of British Columbia that shows that the best way to tell when somebody is truthful or not about things like this is that that grief muscle we all talk about that we say Darwin and Duchesne originally called it that for ease of discussion it's that little Arch that we see up here that isn't ever present in folks who are lying it rare rare in folks who aren't lying who are lying what you see instead is this whole frontalis this whole set of muscles here draw down does that look familiar and if I remember the muscles here the zygomatic major I think they're referred to as the ones that tie off from your cheeks to make you smile a containment of that so that it can almost look like a smile that sounds awfully familiar to what he's doing go look at that study what they don't see is all this engagement in the forehead they see that down and this engagement of these muscles at the side he goes down the well you guys know I always say when a person's trying to cry they go down the well they find a reason they make it as horrible as they can and they can find a reason to cry but no tears come up Mark to your point he tries to find it the interesting piece is the people sitting behind him feel it and feel bad for him and go to it interesting then he says I figured out that he was dead well I look we're going to Blue bleep a few words in this thing but go listen to the real words there's no doubt the guy's dead you wouldn't even have to figure it out and then he's got a damn straight face all the time for what he's talking about and there's that side it looks like he's almost choking back a smile he goes I tried to take there and he pauses a few beats and then says pulse there's so much you hear forget the fear forget all the stuff that we're seeing forget the wind up Ozzy Osbourne everything else here is just not compatible with a person who just found and I'll leave it at this people react differently but not all these different ways and clusters that we're all seeing so you you might be interested enough that this might be all you want to watch but there's a lot more hang on so um just start the top take your time um like when I came back here I mean I pulled up and I could see him and you know I knew something was bad I ran out I knew it was really bad yeah come on my boy over there I could see it was so sorry and I could see [Music] and I ran over to Maggie and uh actually I think I tried to turn Paul over first um uh you know I tried to turn him over and uh I don't know I figured it out um his cell phone popped out of his pocket that's started to try to do something with it thinking maybe but then I put it back down really quickly um then I went to my wife and I I mean I could see [Music] did you touch Maggie at all I did I touched them Bo okay I tried to take I mean I tried to do it as limited as possible but I try to take their pulse on both of them and um you know I called 9-1-1 um pretty much right away and she was very good um I talked to her um I told her I was going to get off the phone to call some family members I did that um and um family members did you call him I called my brother Randy and I called my brother John and I tried to call the little boy real good friend that's right around the corner from here but I didn't get him okay yeah all right Mark what do you got uh yeah so uh you know I called 9-1-1 pretty much right away uh yeah I don't think that happened at all I don't think he called 9-1-1 straight away at all simply from you know then pretty much I don't like those around around I called 911 just I called 9-1-1 immediately that's that's a good way to say it uh he Praises them the law enforcement there's there's no his his son and you know wife or dad like who cares how good the law enforcement were at that point you don't care how good how good they were you're not about to you're not giving out medals at that point and and look and he's totally taking control of his breathing you know what what you what you saw at the start where he's where I think you're right Chase there's there's fear there and I think there's probably a little bit of panic as well but quickly taking control of it I think maybe those officers in the back give him a a bit of you know bolstery's confidence a little bit about this is working we can keep see his eyes kind of you know heading off to the side to check out is this is working is it working and uh oh God it's it's a fun it's it's fun stuff I'm gonna keep it at that because there's plenty more plenty more to come uh Chase what do you got on this one all right then in this clip there's a continuation of what you saw in the first one the groin protection has become more pronounced the emotion is gone the chronology the exact precise chronology of detail continues here and the emotional impact of these phone calls is missed there's no emotional impact when talking about these phone calls because a they're potentially fake the story's fake and B the stress from having to fake this is causing that emotion not to be there I think it's unusual that he felt the need to provide a customer review for the 9-1-1 operator this might be something in his behavior profile though that's starting to reveal itself but let's see if there's any other evidence that pops up before my hunch on this uh dies and I'll dive into that and Greg what do you got yeah again we call that the Fig leaf for obvious reasons when a person crosses they're groin when a male crosses their groin to protect the testicles primary sex organs this guy's doing what I would call a modified fig Leaf he puts his hand in his lap and you'll see him moving his hand fairly often but here again look if I have the opportunity to tell you a story or say hey somebody kill my family and they're still lying right there they're probably close by can we do something to help find them not and um uh yeah and after that and he's storytelling now and we see it because he says haltingly pretty much right away Mark to your point exactly pretty much right away not right away not right after that pretty much and any mouth Grooms which we only see a couple of times in this entire thing and we say mouth Grooms our mouths get dry when we're feeling stressed and lying creates stress in most of us except for those who are talented at it and if I'm trying to hide something I don't mean to find it I'm going to go and have that opportunity to grow in my mouth you'll see it happen a couple of times in this one and he does a long vowel and and then he goes into chase you were calling it something earlier I'll call it clearing not steering he's going to give you reasons why he was busy and why you didn't you know all that kind of thing there's still no sense of urgency you know I I wrote in my notes I hung up the phone I scratched my backside and um and he's just giving you useless details that I would not give a cop if I were trying to find somebody he's navigating out of what just his way through what to say as you go she was a good 9-1-1 operator the only good thing in this entire thing is he is not feeling stress smart to your point it's a great thing because it gives us some matter of fact stuff I call my brother so we can look at what matter of fact stuff is because this guy's not stupid he's not going to say I call my brother and then you pull his phone records and he didn't guarantee you he called his brother did all those pieces so this gives us a way to pay attention to him as he moves forward we're going to see it in a couple of other places Scott what do you got I agree with you we're not seeing those things that let us know that there's stress there we're not seeing very many adapters that should theoretically be there from the stress he's supposed to be feeling or going through it during this we don't see any of that still no no valid signs of grief whatsoever uh from a body language perspective anyway this blink rate still really low he's still covering he's growing like you were saying and he's still goof around that Kleenex still hasn't used that yet and he never asks why this happened he doesn't try to connect with that with that police officer and you know like you like they'll do they'll sit there they'll look at you and go what you know that out of confusion they'll look at and go what's you know why what he never says why he doesn't do any of that this should be so horrific that it should blow his mind that that because he shouldn't be able to understand that but he doesn't have a problem understanding that because I'm under the impression he's the one that did it so it doesn't bother him at all he doesn't need to do that the most horrible thing that ever happened to him he's not trying to connect with anybody not trying to go you know dude what's going on what what the hell nothing like that at all um his head is is in the space it should be for what he's trying to do so he's thinking about all the things he's making sure his story is tight so he's he's relaxing now because he thinks these people believe him you hear that guy in the back coughing like he's got zika or something but that doesn't throw him either you know because he's like clearing his throat and doing all that stuff as well but his head is right where it should be for someone who is who's who is is confident with having fooled everyone that they that their their story is being believed I think so that's what I got yeah and um you know I called 9-1-1 um pretty much right away and she was very good um I talked to her um I told her I was going to get off the phone to call some family members I did that um and um what family members did you call him I call my brother Randy and I called my brother John and I tried to call the little boy real good friend that's right around the corner from here but I didn't get him okay all right what all was around um Paul when he walked up blood any any other anything else I mean there was some body things yes sir I mean like any other evidence I know you said the phone fell out the pocket but did you see anything else that didn't belong or shouldn't belong or that wasn't part of Paul and those are not no not good no sir how about Maggie no sir you didn't see anything around them all right Greg what do you got yeah everything we talk about in everything is about Baseline so we start from whatever is normal for the person in the situation again it's not normal for you to sit around in your on your couch eating Cheetos that that Baseline we're talking about the Baseline you're dealing with when you're asking non-pertinent questions so we see some of that we see them starting off with more that same factual bass line and he's fairly normal until until he's asked about Maggie we'll talk about that in just a minute but there's no Grimace or distaste or any negative emotion about blood or body stuff around his son anybody find that odd I mean all kinds of people deal with things different ways if you found a dog who had been shot you would probably have a Grimace around that not your child and I will say this we say sudden politeness matters but this is low country South Carolina that sudden politeness is just politeness in the part of Georgia I live in they're people who refuse to call me by my first name because I'm older and so it's just part of the culture just to point that out there could be a reason but I don't think it is um it's out of character that he retracts the side of his mouth and does some odd thing odd thing with his mouth he grimaces when he's asked is there anything around Maggie he does that he absolutely does not answer the question nods his head little shakes his head a little and makes eye contact for the first time in the entire video we talk about Baseline we talk about deviations from Baseline ding ding ding I would say hold up hold on a minute why did you suddenly do something different or I'd make a mental note and come back and poke and prod it again and again and again uh Chase what do you got this guy's a prosecutor who which I learned from Greg as we were kind of ramping up for this episode on Zoom and he's probably tried a bunch of cases this is proof that no matter how many cases you do you don't get inoculated to not displaying the perfect behaviors the all four of us you can go back and watch us through these videos we get stressed out our blink rate goes up we have the same human responses that anyone else does it doesn't give you some hall pass to never display these behaviors again when you learn them and that's what we're seeing here a prosecutor who probably thought that he was inoculated against all of this stuff he knew what to say he didn't know how to say it and that's the big difference and Greg I'm just going to say this this politeness that we are seeing here is a spike and it's not really present anywhere else here and I'm you know I'm Arkansas my family's off market so I see a lot of that but the moment it's just it spikes up higher than it ever does in the conversation so I'm just going to look at it as a one data point not some big thing that reveals anything write about the specifics concerning the crime scene and he's gone from no emotion and minimal responsiveness to more responsive more eye contact and suddenly using the word sir I would just say this this is a little Spike here that's concerning to me but notice also when he's being asked to think back and go through the crime scene there's no emotion and zero eye accessing we move our eyes around in our our head to access all kinds of details there is none of that here this is another huge red flag for me Scott all right I want to talk about one thing once like you were just saying Chase when somebody goes back through that and you ask them a question about what they saw or what happened and they're reliving that because they're there and their brain's seeing it they go into this Blank Stare almost as they start telling you about it we don't see that at all this guy isn't doing anything that normal humans would do than my experience so far are things that I've seen where a person explaining what happened or describing a scene or what was going on there doesn't do anything they normally do or that I'm under the impression they normally do there's there's nothing you're right Greg when he he connects with them it's but it's not that connection of what the hell there's no there's nothing I'm gonna go back to what I said earlier there's nothing happening here that that says um I'm worried about this I can't believe it this has got me stressed it's just it should just be freaking him out and it isn't except for that he tried to pull it off the top with that that fake cry which we all during the thing we got the giggles office because it looked like he was laughing if you go back and watch that you'll see what I'm talking about but man that this doesn't show anything it should be showing for someone who's gone through something so horrific Mark what do you think yeah I agree with it can I can I correct one thing Mark before you start yeah I just double checked he apparently did volunteer work in the solicitor's office so he wasn't a full-time prosecutor just pretty knowledge okay yeah it's just too calm just too calm just too still and it's and it's not the Stillness of shock because the the tension would be in his body you'd see him stuck there you'd see some kind of catatonic State he's too soft it's too cool uh it's too much like he's on you know he's sitting on the couch eating Cheetos it's just that kind of softness and and Rhythm uh I totally agree he's not seeing the scene in his head we don't see any eye accessing I don't care where his eyes go I need his eyes to go somewhere somewhere to search for information because he would know he's being asked information because there could be a clue there could be a clue that could lead to the perpetrator right now he doesn't even bother to go and look for that information why because he knows there's no information there he knows there's nothing there that would help them find the perpetrator because they found the perpetrator he's sitting in the car next to them uh I mean just no shock no looking to the scene uh so nonchalant it's extraordinary and so different from what he his tactic at the start I think he stopped that tactic because again he got such a good response from the officers that you know he thinks it's it's done now and he doesn't need to go back to that tactic yeah that's all I got Now Greg what would you tell us earlier we talked we were going through some things earlier about the back story on this what else has this guy been into what else have been going on yeah hold on one second yeah this family is really prominent so his I think it's his father was the last prosecutor but from 1920 to 2006 they held the office prosecutor for that County it's a really big Legacy of legal family um he's got some ghosts in his past if you go look he's got some things around like a housekeeper who died that they had some life insurance policy on he's got some other stuff there's a kid who his son went to school with who ended up dying and there was rumor that his son was involved and there was the case was closed most but has been reopened by The District's attorney as a result of evidence they found during this case he was estranged from his wife at the time of the murder and if you go read the headlines they say she was lured out to there apparently he asked her to visit his terminally ill father and she said no she wanted to be in public because he was acting fishy I mean there's a ton of stuff in here just go out and look for yourself there's more than one weapon involved there's a ton of stuff in this case there's just a lot for you to go look at we could spend an entire hour just refuting and figuring out what's on the list of rumors and checklists as Chase often says we're not the forensics panel we're telling you what we see in this video and there's plenty so this is good enough so Greg note to self always get life insurance for domestic help it's not not for sure for sure have you ever heard of that before I've never heard of it before I'm gonna I'm gonna do it why wouldn't you I mean wow I don't just in case you know I mean I don't know there's a bit of money out of your domestic help just in case they die there's so much information out here on these guys I think there's even a lot more like he's got Financial crimes that if he were to get off these charges he still got Financial crimes to face there's a ton of stuff that they've allowed into evidence just go watch look I don't want to be the guy who misquotes something I probably misquoted some of that but just go read there's so much out there on this guy you could spend all day trying to figure out all the craziness going on this case so the eyewitnesses you what all was around um Paul when he walked up blood any any other anything else I mean there was somebody things yes sir I mean like any other evidence I know you said the phone fell out the pocket but did you see anything else that didn't belong or shouldn't belong or that wasn't part of Paul no sir not no not sure how about Maggie no sir you didn't see anything around them what made you come out here at night um I went to my mom's late stage Alzheimer's patient my dad's in the hospital um my mom gets anxious when she does I went to check on them and Maggie Maggie's a dog lover and she fools with the dogs and I knew she'd gone to the kennel I was at the house I left the house and went to my mom's for just a little while tried to call her when I left texted her no response um when I got back to the house the house was obviously nobody was in there so I figured they're still up here fooling around Paul was going to be getting set up to plant our sunflowers seeds got sprayed and died and he was refiguring to do to plant the sunflower seeds so I came back up here and I drove up and saw and cold another an ID yeah I don't know that was his friend hey I was like up to this point we're right now we're talking about how we thought the guy in the back seat was was a police officer but it was just odd and Greg what do you say about it I think it's his friend I think it's his friend I think it's his friend I don't remember but I think it's his friend he got his shirt open like he's Robert Wagner only thing he's missing was those little scarves that go there or I'd ask what do you call that thing an ascot was that what's what's the scarf they put Mark cravat oh that's all he's missing plus I need to get him some kind of coveted you know something on him this guy man he's back there sounds like something's up with him sounds like this may be some of his last days uh okay sorry about that I should cut all that maybe it's code for shut up you sound stupid it could be and so I'm gonna say this about him too a little while his knee comes out look how shiny his knee is so it's like a mirror it looks it looks like it's so weird man it looks like it looks like a polished piece of wood when it comes out his knee you'll see in a few minutes okay I thought it was a cop I'm gonna say anything about it but man I hope he's not but geez he's really got to get his thing together man all right uh Greg what do you got yeah this is the first time we see him touch his face touches his nose look we you'll hear people say if a person touches their nose or lying no we we're not those folks what we're saying is look for a deviation in Baseline and ask yourself why it's a pertinent question and a hard question why did you come out here tonight well that's a good question and use his left hand touches his face suddenly he does one of the most powerful male adapters that exist I call it butterfly thighs and if you ever want to see men will flip their legs their thighs in and out that way younger men do it a lot it also includes your genitals when you start moving your legs and it has a lot of impact so that's a big comforting move for a guy to do you'll see it a lot in younger sports players when they're being interviewed when you watch them on night shows and that kind of thing all an adapter is is a way for you to release nervous energy and if we do them enough they become habitual so if you don't know what yours are the way you release nervous energy ask someone next to you ask someone who knows you well because they know what you do when you're releasing ever since you maybe you pick your nails flip your hair do something like that then he starts to tell a long story that has no pertinence to anything we're talking about and that is I went to see my mama my mama's sick she's got dementia and he goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and he gives you the cookbook we call that chaff and redirect because an aircraft drops chaff to open missile will follow it rather than the story that's what he's doing he's dropping lots of details hoping you'll follow that and that's odd usually but again my wife and son are lying 100 yards away dead somebody murdered them and I'm going to tell you about my mom's jello she had for lunch come on and he's adapting like all hell with that issue with his hands in with the other he goes to that dog lover she fools with a dog boom one shoulder Rises we hadn't seen that yet we see a single shoulder we often associate that with discomfort or not comfortable in the information they're sharing he does a pause he does a down left looks down left which we associate with internal voice and he does a head scratch we associate all of those things with thinking with giving yourself time to think he doesn't say what he saw what he saw over with her either with words or with body language or with tone none of that and I think the female law enforcement officer in the back senses it because watch her cross her abdomen in discomfort as he's telling that story I bet if you went talking I would say this guy day one we thought he whacked her we thought he killed his wife that's exactly what I think you'd see uh Mark what do you got yeah there's a Cascade of negative statements victim statements really the parents are ill and anxious uh mag is a dog lover doesn't love him loves the dogs uh she falls with the dogs that's negative rather than going she looks after those dogs so well if she's falling with the dogs um and he's texted her and there's no response so she's not attentive to him and then Paul is associated with sunflowers dying so again not being able to I mean that will more of this story will come out and maybe he's laying down this story early but essentially everybody is inept ultimately parents are non-functioning uh wife loves uh animals and messes around and doesn't answer the phone and Paul can't look after some flowers so really casting uh um a bad light on the the victims there and and him being around people who can't look after themselves or the things that are important or him this is very different from um uh a video that we looked at earlier uh this week around the um the the boyfriend of Nicola bully who uh went missing um maybe is still missing who knows at this point um but in that particular film he didn't create any negative attitude about this missing person no negative attitude about the victim no you know she goes for silly walks with the dog and probably messed up somewhere and so it's so different here again that alone uh is allowed a loud flag you can't have a loud flag but I'm going to say it anyway it's a loud flag it's a loud loud flag uh Greg what do you got in this one no Chase yep I'll go thank you this is detail overload there's a few things I want you to notice as you go through the video again in just a second number one the detail and the there's the chronology of everything is loaded and piled high but none of the details are about finding out who did this there is no request to investigate the scene or talk about the word murder it's the last word in the world that he wants to come out of his mouth at A Moment Like This and the confirmation glances back and forth where he's checking that detective with every detail in this clip especially just to make sure he's buying it or just a classic Hallmark of deception it's one of the things we look for when we see a lot of other behaviors and they're outside of Baseline like we're seeing here and when he says obviously nobody was in there I think he's telling us potentially this my opinion as this entire video is just an opinion I think he's telling us it was obvious to him that nobody was going to be in that house then finally we have something called severity softening and lack of detail there's tons of my new perfect little details about the intricate process he's going through with these sunflower seeds then what's the detail on the crime scene here's the detail on the crime scene in this video word for word I came up and saw and called that's the difference between sunflower seeds versus dead family members here Scott you know what Greg would you not that you've told us this guy in the back isn't a cop this makes so much sense the way she's acting and do you know what's making this is what I think here I go from my rants but you know what makes me think she knows something's up think about it for a minute you guys think about this for a second what's he wearing a white T-shirt where does he come from he's come from two people who have been killed in a it's a bloody crime scene that he's put his hands on that he's been messing with there's no blood on this guy nowhere and he's not using that Kleenex he's not looking his hands to make sure there's no blood he's washed his hands that's what's happened he's changed games yeah yeah he'll tell you he went back to the house afterward yep yep yep that's what that's what's happened I don't know if that if that's if he he doesn't talk about it in here anyway that's what's bothering her that's what I bet that because she can't see him so it's something that happened beforehand that's got her thinking something's up with this guy that's what I think that's what I think is happening there I just thought about that a second ago that yeah so anyway that that's what I think is going on there but back to the body I was part of it um after the question you're right Greg he touches the middle part of his head there the middle of his brow there I haven't seen that yet I've just other than than rubbing his whole face then he does this really quick request for approval that's another one of Greg's things your eyebrows go up as you're looking looking to get something okay or you're asking a question you need some information his his eyebrows go up and he starts adapting I guess what you call that butterfly thing Greg then he starts using his Kleenex as an adapter which we talked about what happened earlier earlier we talked about that was going to happen a whole lot of movement in comparison to the Baseline we've seen up at this point up to this point because he's been fairly still up till now this is where it makes me think something would be up with this then he starts going down this list of stuff and his voice is uh-huh and then this it's just oh it's just it's just a list he's rehearsed this he knew what he was going to say when he came into this when this question came up he's he's got his list of things that happened and things that he was going to talk about you see a couple of those little shoulder shrugs a single shoulder shrug here and a single one there and then a full one there but the thing is with shoulder shrugs and you'll hear a lot of things about him but here's what we are under the impression or understand that shoulder shrugs indicate is when one shoulder goes up really quickly that that says I don't I'm not sure about this answer I'm not sure what I'm saying if it goes up and stays like it will sometimes it stays for about a second or second half same with a double shoulder strike it stays up for a second if not it just comes up and down really quickly that indicates a person isn't sure about their answer not that they're being deceptive but it just says they're not sure about what that answer is and I think he's afraid he's trying to make sure he's covering every base as he's thinking about that I guess in his brain he's thinking okay I've got that covered let me see what else I got that I think as it goes down this list that's why we're seeing those things um but throughout this he still hasn't used that Kleenex for what you use them for and I think he's I think I think he changed clothes I think he washed up and changed clothes that's what that's what I think on that one let's see what happens all right we're good the eyewitnesses you what made you come out here at night um I went to my mom's late stage Alzheimer's patient my dad's in the hospital um my mom gets anxious when she does I went to check on them and Maggie Maggie's a dog lover and she fools with the dogs and I knew she'd gone to the kennel I was at the house I left the house and went to my mom's for just a little while tried to call her when I left texted her no response um when I got back to the house the house was obviously nobody was in there so I figured they're still up here fooling around Paul was um going to be getting set up to plant our sunflowers seeds got sprayed and died and he was refiguring to do to plant the sunflower seeds so I came back up here and I drove up and saw and called had Maggie and Paul been arguing over anything no what was their relationship like wonderful wonderful how about yours and Maggie's wonderful I mean I'm sure we had little things here and there but we had a wonderful marriage wonderful relationship been yours and Paul's relationship as good as it could be that was Paul 22 okay you know his date of birth I do April 11 96 is his brother's April 14 99 us Falls how about what's Maggie's full name Margaret branstadter Murdoch her date of birth sir September 15 1968. [Music] foreign have y'all been having any problems out here trespassers breaking in none that I know of the only thing that what comes to my mind is my son Paul was in a boat wreck a couple years ago and there's been a you know he was charged with being arrested for being a driver there's been a lot of negative publicity about that and there's been a lot of people online just really vile stuff but when Paul's out and about I mean people routinely I don't think I know the full story um because I don't think they'd give it to me but I mean he's been punched and hit and just attacked a lot so you know but I mean nothing like this this is a mistake John I just I tell you the blood out there I think might have been two guns I don't know he's going to trust me on that one I'm gonna cut that out I shouldn't have said whack but sorry yeah what are you gonna do all right Chase what do you got there's some strange head movement here there's shaking and knotting mixed together which you do not see in this culture and I think this is confused on his part of which behavior to display and you can confirm this confusion by the fact that he starts doing what I call intent checking he's glancing repeatedly at the detective here in this instance to determine what kind of intent the detective has and the angle that he's taking with some of these questions and when he offers this uh the brother's birthday this is a miniature resume statement here and he's offering the details that suggest that he's a caring and good father see I know both of their birthdays and I think he's doing that mostly unconsciously and when there's a question about the trespassers the response to the question is an insertion of ambiguity into the case think about it if I asked you if strangers come into your house often your answer would be no probably not so I would say this is maybe uh going on Mark's uh scale maybe a dark medium medium light or uh weight flag did you say heavy flag no it was the sound of it but I like it okay so this is maybe a volume nine or a 8.5 on the 10 scale flag and I don't know how big this property is which is one of the reasons here we can call this maybe a a medium flag here there's an inability to identify a perpetrator there's no concern to find out who did this at all he wants to keep the net cast as wide as possible for here for what might have happened and he still won't say murder he skips over the murder every single possible time that it comes up every time here mark uh yeah so I love this one where he where his his leg starts getting excited it starts going up and down a bit of the in and out as well there Greg as well but it's it's even more joyous around this idea of introducing the boat story because I think you know he's now laying down some some ideas of of you know potential uh trouble that may lead to a perpetrator and I think he looks off to his side there not only to check intent but to work out how's my story landing on this one is this one is this one I should go a little bit further down that my you know my son may well have an enemy uh out there oh we also this is off Baseline as well we also start to see uh his hand uh nearest to the driver to the to the officer um just becomes more active and I hadn't seen his hand that active and that descriptive so I think he's becoming quite excited and buoyant around how this story might work out from for him this is off uh Baseline for me uh Scott where you got on this one all right here's where he alludes to the alludes to the murders being due to that boat accident that's cold when you're you're trying to blame something on something your son did that's that that says a lot about this guy his personality type and we ask about the when he's asked about the relationship with his son his head shakes and it turned no and then it starts turning like Chase was saying it's like a little bobble head doll so there's a lot going on there at that point as well and that's probably true that the relationship is as is as good as it could be you know as it could possibly be and that's because I don't they probably didn't get along very well so it was as good as it could possibly be because maybe the the child didn't like him maybe the wife didn't like him because he says the same thing about her as well as good as it could possibly be and he's telling the truth I think there it was as good as it could possibly be apparently she's moved out and lives where'd you say she was Greg living in the what in their beach house I read she was estranged in living in their beach house yeah doesn't bring that up at all so there's a there's a lot going on there that he's not bringing up so I'm sure it was as good as it could possibly be Greg what do you got yeah so I couldn't pay a person to illustrate Baseline better than this guy does he's asked two questions about his relationship with his son and about his relationship with his wife and in both instances he says wonderful but go back watch his body language when he says wonderful when he says wonderful about his son it's pretty straight body language which says wonderful about his wife now we know that they're estranged he breaks eye contact moves away to the side his face changes and he is entirely different when he's saying that then he he's drawing away as he says it then he qualifies it I forget what he says exactly well we had our moments and and then he gets back into this facts and deliberate language and the minute he gets back into those facts and deliberate language then he's okay he's answering factual questions his Baseline comes back when he gets down to the mechanics and he starts to tell that boat story his thighs start moving as Mark said he starts to march in place with that one foot and his blank rate increases he does a left shoulder shrug again when he says nothing like this well of course nothing like this yeah they hit him they said bad things to him and never came out and killed him so all this we see a pattern we see his Baseline when he's comfortable we see a deviation and we get a chance to see two very different answers using the same English if if you think that body language is Holcomb watch that and tell me it's Holcomb tell me you can't see something that's going on two different messages same words that's all I got that's a tie you know your team both beautiful Olympics you take it so serious had Maggie and Paul been arguing over anything no what was their relationship like wonderful wonderful how about yours and Maggie's wonderful I mean I'm sure we had little things here and there but we had a wonderful marriage wonderful relationship been yours and Paul's relationship as good as it could be that was Paul 22 okay you know his date of birth I do April 11 96 is his brother's April 14 99 I suppose about what's Maggie's full name Margaret branstadter Murdoch and her date of birth September 15 1968 thank you [Music] have y'all been having any problems out here trespassers breaking in none that I know of the only thing that what comes to my mind is my son Paul was in a boat wreck a couple years ago and there's been a you know he was charged with being arrested for being a driver there's been a lot of negative publicity about that and there's been a lot of people online just really vile stuff but when Paul's out and about I mean people routinely I don't think I know the full story um because I don't think they give it to me but I mean he's been punched and hit and just attacked a lot so you know but I mean nothing like this yeah so is there anybody that you can think of that we need to talk to tonight is there a name that comes to mind I mean I can't tell you anybody that I'm overly suspicious of the top of my head okay you know um I mean this is such a stupid thing I'm even embarrassed to say it but it just didn't make any sense I just hired a guy out here and he really he wasn't cutting the mustard but I hadn't told him this yet Paul's been working with him a lot he killed the sunflower seeds in our dove field just recently which is why Paul was here doing this he told Paul a story the other day about how when he was in high school he got in a fight with some black guys and FBI undercover team observed him fighting those guys and put him on an undercover team with three Navy Seals and their job was to kill radical Black Panthers and they did that from Myrtle Beach to Savannah now I really don't think this guy you know is probably the person but that's just so freaking yeah that's kind of far-fetched but he was off today okay he took his daddy to the doctor what's his name C.B Rowe all right Chase what do you got right at the beginning of this clip you can see him try to adjust himself to look more comfortable and more relaxed the moment he does this you're going to see his body completely disagree with him it's going to move his hand back almost just without his consent to protect the growing and the femoral artery here and do you know what other emotion that would be coming up here that's missing is anger anger would be present here and he's got a huge problem identifying a perpetrator here who did this and he wants to keep the ambiguity as high as possible and I don't think there's any desire whatsoever for them to find for him to get them to find the person that did this and just pay close attention to what is not being said here and I think in my opinion you might hear a murderer talking if you just listen to what's not being said and what's being ignored Greg yeah there's no anger there's no rush there's no urgency none of that as a matter of fact listen to the Cadence of his storytelling Slow Down slow down this is what has it been 30 minutes of him sitting in a car I would be looking for help he gives into you know there's a new word a new phrase he's injecting that indicates he's comfortable and thinking and talking and that's his filler word starting to come out he does he's not squim it's not scrambled it's not compressed none of that's going on there's more concern in the cops brow and then the guy in the back seat and there isn't his this is his family there's that zygomatic muscle again that we said makes your face want to smile it sure looks like he's almost smiling when he's telling that story well we know that earlier what the study said was if your frontalis muscle was down in in sadness and that that was probably an indicator he also starts to Turtle chase after he goes back and he gets forced into that position then he shrinks a bit when we say turtling your head and your torso shrinking make your target smaller this Cadence is unlike anything else we've heard I think it's because he has already been rehearsing this story and he knows what he's going to say this guy who told me this story and well if you if you're trying to figure out who to point somebody to then you'd have a lot of details when I would just say hey there's a guy who works for me he's a little shady maybe you want to go check him if that were the case I don't think that's the case and this is the first time the single first time he's used his right hand to illustrate anything when he's talking about this guy it's been at his groin as I call it protecting the precious this entire time that's another red flag Scott what do you got all right now he's trying to put the suspicion on somebody else he brings in this other guy that that worked for him that he just hired that isn't working out and again we're not seeing like you were saying Greg we're not seeing things we should be seeing in here we're not seeing the emotions someone go through as they relive this experience of what just happened the most horrible things ever happened to him we don't see that uncontrolled uncontrollable sobbing no wailing and crying nothing we don't even see one tear and he has and I've been looking nothing we don't see he doesn't tear up there's nothing in there there's no tears at all we don't see that Detachment you'll see from when someone goes through something that bad why no why did this happen going back to that and talk about how good they were he's not talking about the things oh oh he loved this or she loved he she talked about the dogs earlier but he didn't really focus on that he'd be talking about how the things that he thought of her and what they reminded what this reminded him of her she liked to do this and he loved to do that that's what he would talk about a lot especially with this amount of time going by in an interview like this not in here's where that usually happens especially when you're the first you got him in the car and you're the first ones talking to him that's what you see in here there's none of that none of that none of that's happening he should be distraught if Sky's not distraught he sounds like he's talking about some things that you know like when we tell stories it sounds like he's talking about something happened last week guess what happened last week this and then going through it he just gives this list of things and never tears up doesn't use his Kleenex either nothing's looking the way it should look I keep going back to that but that's I think that's the most important thing here nothing looks as it should look up to now all right Mark what do you got uh yeah this is a beautiful scene you can't even write this stuff it's it's genius the uh the officer says look is there anybody that we should be looking at and while he says that he covers his mouth because he knows I think that he's looking at the perpetrator right now so he's even blocking himself to the to the LIE of the question that he's asking there this guy comes up with an amazing story it's a brilliant story I I don't know whether he's making it up completely on his on his own or this this guy who had took the day off uh today um had actually told in this story but it's a brilliant idea for a story whereby you got a kid high school kid you know gets in a fight uh FBI CM they've got a whole bunch of Navy Seals and they go after the Black Panthers together all the way and I love this line they did that from Myrtle Beach to Savannah it's just a great I can you know if you just picture it in my head the Navy Seals and this high school kid Myrtle Beach is fantastic I just all that rough stuff happening in Myrtle Beach and then all the way down I think they have to go through through Charlotte or something like that or Charleston or something I don't know I I can't remember but yeah yeah but I'm just pick picturing the scene there as well the awful Carnage up and down the coast that's going on so I mean what a what an amazing amazing story and and the cop again like does a double take on it just does it hold on what the hell what the hell's going on here and and he does say look I'm embarrassed to say this I'm embarrassed to even put this idea forward but then he goes um yeah I I felt that story was a bit off but he did take the day off today like what a brilliant equation it's a Nutty story obviously it's utter nuts but he did take the day off so I think you should be looking at him just brilliant brilliant brilliant logic love it let's have another you don't know about the FBI Navy SEAL high school recruiter killer teams oh no everybody everybody knows that story in the US that's like a classic all the way from uh oh yeah my little beach just so I I know because last time I was in Myrtle Beach nobody brought it up so uh well they have to sell cookies or something you know we don't talk about oh you're too British oh that's I'm sorry that was a girl scouts somebody sells cookies right I was in it but they kicked me out for crying all right so is there anybody that you can think of that we need to talk to tonight is there a name that comes to mind I mean I can't tell you anybody that I'm overly suspicious of off the top of my head okay you know um I mean this is such a stupid thing I'm even embarrassed to say it but it just didn't make any sense I just hired a guy out here and he really he wasn't cutting the mustard but I hadn't told him this yet Paul's been working with him a lot he killed the sunflower seeds in our dove field just recently which is why Paul was here doing this he told Paul the story the other day about how when he was in high school he got in a fight with some black guys and FBI undercover team observed him fighting those guys and put him on an undercover team with three Navy Seals and their job was to kill radical Black Panthers and they did that from Myrtle Beach to Savannah now I really don't think this guy you know is probably the person but that's just so freaking yeah that's kind of far-fetched but he was off today he took his daddy to the doctor what's his name C.B Rowe do you all store any weapons out here um we don't store them but they're they're you know they're frequently out here I need to find out if there were any out here because I know there was a shotgun there was a 12 gauge shotgun out here uh I'll have to find out exactly when that was I think it got put up but I'm not positive what is that shotgun look like uh it was uh camouflage I want to say it was a Benelli or maybe a Beretta I can't remember which brand it is [Music] I don't think it was out here okay recently but I'm not positive and the shotgun that you had when deputies pulled up where did that come come from I went to the house and I got a gun probably overreacting but and it was that when you pulled up and saw them I know I mean I came out and me and I called 9-1-1 first talked to them for a little while then I told her I told her that I was that I was going to go to the house okay and then I would let authorities know when they got here that I had a gun okay all right Mark what do you got yeah just one thing which is which is he's really screwed himself now because now he's bringing up the murder weapon how easy was that how easy was that gunny guns out here yeah and he's mentioned a shotgun and I'm gonna assume from what I heard before as to the condition of certainly one of the bodies that a shotgun was was used and so uh yeah he's already bringing up the murder weapon and what it might look at look like and could be you know certain brand um you know I can't believe that he's well he's not been clever throughout any of this so I don't know why I'm getting why I was even going to say that that he's been so clever and now he's being so dumb because ultimately he's been so dumb throughout it yeah that's all I got on that one Greg what do you got yeah and for those who don't know weapons a shotgun is harder to trace as a murder weapon because it doesn't rifle whatever you're using you can have rifle slugs but likely not what was used and those rifles on the other hand like that blackout that they're using does create patterning on the bullet so if you have the weapon and the bullet you can figure out which weapon was used that's part of the reason why that might be an issue this cup is even looking a little frustrating look at the brow and suddenly this guy talks like a lawyer do you have weapons do you store weapons there well not stored well you know the intent of the question but you're answering it that way his hands have moved now it always got kind of a little gentle hug going on and he's chatting when he talks about weapons when he starts to talk about weapons his blink rate Rises and he starts to adapt as they're talking about this weapon specifically this shotgun you see his foot starting to tap and hop his hand is adapting meaning releasing nervous energy at his stomach and after he's asked specifically about did you have a shotgun watch that right leg it is going crazy his breathing becomes more rapid and pronounced and he even loses fluency as he's running out of words at what he told her his blink writes higher this is a hot spot this and back to why did you come here and a couple of others are real hot spots at this point you got to pay attention when something jumps off the plate this is a loud red flag Mark to use yours Chase what do you got yeah I've got a couple loud Flags here too there's more ambiguity being injected here about the shotgun ambiguity about the weapon not certainty so and the desire to help the case means that you would specifically State the facts without ambiguity and then he's saying I got a gun it was probably overreacting he's explaining motive again to perform an action innocent people don't feel the need to stop the story and explain motive to every action that they take and grabbing a gun after finding family members that are murdered is not an overreaction in this culture that we're seeing here in this video I think he went back to get a different gun uh that was from the house so he could be holding one uh when the police showed up in my opinion definitely not a fact Scott all right you guys covered everything I was going to cover keep it from being boring let's move on do y'all store any weapons out here um we don't store them but they're you know they're frequently out here I need to find out if there were any out here because I know there was a shotgun there was a 12 gauge shotgun out here uh oh I'll have to find out exactly when that was I think it got put up but I'm not positive what did that shotgun look like uh it was a camouflage I want to say it was a Benelli or maybe a Beretta I can't remember which brand it is [Music] but I don't think it was out here okay recently but I'm not positive and the shotgun that you had when deputies pulled up where did that come come from I went to the house and I got a gun probably overreacting but and was that when you pulled up and saw them no I mean I came out and me and I called 9-1-1 first talked to them for a little while and then I told her I told her that I was that I was going to go to the house okay and then I would let I already know when they got here that I had a gun okay okay what did you do to do when you went in the office or nope I was home I came home Paul and I messed around I I uh I was up at the house I laid down took a nap on the couch probably I don't know 25 30 minutes I got up I called Maggie didn't get an answer and I left to go to my mom's she had said she might ride with me but she normally does it when I go over there um and I think I texted her and she's very good about answering the phone so that was odd or calling me back so that was odd but it wasn't that big a deal I don't know what time was that what time was what that you sent her a text message all right um I checked texted her at 908 going to check on M be right back and then I texted her at 9 47 that must be when I started to come back I think I called her before that let me make sure pretty sure that I called her 9 45 and then I tried Paul and then no I think that was riding and I think that might have been riding over there 1003 I mean my calls are right here yeah so um obviously this is when this is when I at 1006 . yes sir thank you anybody else want some gum I'm not having water do you Danny I thought I don't need it if you behind Danny's head there's a case of water it's not a big deal yeah I got some trials going on right now yes yep wow it's live on that law and crime Network thing oh really yeah and Court TV and just about everywhere yeah that's cool law incredible let's use their stuff that's we should give them a shout out yeah our stuff below so yep for sure all right Greg what do you got yeah I'm going to keep this one pretty short he's adapting all the way up until he gets to the point they give him a freebie the minute he gets to where he gets to now go back to Baseline things are matters of the phone record this is a guy who's smart enough he's been in the business long enough he knows that's a matter of fact he's just going to run through it and Chase I'll use one of your favorites you can tell when he relaxes because he goes to abdominal breathing it's pronounced and they've let him now off the hook his brain is relaxed there's no emotion whatsoever I I still what is missing is a hey can we just hurry can we get back to this instead of talking about all my phone records they're a matter of record here boom that's it Scott what do you got all right I think we're seeing a very subtle change in his Baseline up to what we've seen so far his Cadence is sped up his voice tones a little bit higher he's the most relaxed he's been so far still no use of that Kleenex stale Garden is growing still doing the same things we talked about at the top his blink rate is is still low everything we talked about the top is still going on at this point and I think it's because like you were saying Greg this is what he envisioned happening he's done now he's gone through his list of stuff that he's supposed to talk about you know and while he begins it starts answering you see him lean back and that head goes back and rests up against the headrest back there he he's relaxing but I think at the same time he's sort of bracing himself against the back of that headrest and his legs start moving back and forth and I think this indicates the stress of this of this specific situation because almost everything changes up to this point and again they're they're very subtle but those are the things we're looking for and listening for and after that he asked him for gum and water you know I think that's it's almost like a reward for himself he's he's crossed the Finish Line he's reached his goal he said everything he's supposed to that he's thought about saying on his list the things he's rehearsed his story we've heard him walk through like you were saying Chase too many details man way too many details for what for what had happened from as we look at this as a whole so I think he feels like he's crossed the finish line and he's like yeah instead of dunking water on himself he's asking for water and he's chewing gum yeah which makes sense because I'm sure his mouth got dry during all that during the nervous parts of it but I think he's relaxed now so that's why he's he's his brain is letting him do things outside the situ of that situation no sobbing no you know what happened no hand ringing nothing we should be seeing in here that that is we're seeing here I guess you'd say Mark what do you got yeah so lots of upward inflection Paul and I messed around probably and and odd so I think he's unsure around the story he's trying to project at this point not quite sure if it's gonna stick then the female officer in the back says asked him something about time then we get a down inflection what time was what so I think he now knows that he's now going to be nailed down to some times I think some of those times some of the phone information is working for him and I think some of it can't be reconciled if I remember rightly I think he he turns and opens the door and kind of spits out the door or maybe even vomits a bit I'm not not quite sure but there's some kind of opening of the door I think and um so I think there's a he can't reconcile some of the he sees some information that he can reconcile on there and there's some stuff that isn't going to work for him and there may be some Panic there so either he has to lean out to block that and have a think about it then comes back looks off to reconcile like how am I gonna how am I gonna deal with this and then the phone goes away uh Chase what do you got on this one I agree with you guys y'all covered a lot of it uh there's more ambiguity insertion here but the way that he points to the call log directly and then mentions it that's interesting to me I'm betting that we find out something is off about this call log the trial is going on right now so I don't think he's been on the stand yet but I'm willing to bet that we find something is interesting about this call log and he calls it out as if it's an offering much like he did with the camouflage shotgun it's an offering well there's something here that you can look at those two things call log and shotgun were the two things that really stood out to where he kind of offered something up to assist the police that is a heavy flag for me is that everybody think so Greg won that one stoled it yeah man the hell is that the eyewitnesses you what did you do today were you in the office or no I was home I came home Paul and I messed around uh I uh I was up at the house I laid down took a nap on the couch probably I don't know 25 30 minutes I got up I called Maggie didn't get an answer and I left to go to my mom's and she had said she might ride with me but she normally doesn't when I go over there um and I think I texted her and she's very good about answering the phone so that was odd or calling me back so that was odd but it wasn't that big a deal I don't know what time was that what time was what that you sent her a text message thank you all right um I checked texted her at 908 going to check on M be right back and I texted her at 9 47 that must be when I started to come back I think I called her before that but let me make sure yeah pretty sure that I called her 9 45 and then I tried Paul then no I think that was riding and I think that might have been riding over there 1003 I mean my calls are right here yeah so um obviously this is when this is when I at 1006 . thank you yes sir ah thank you anybody else want some gum you don't have any water do you Danny I thought I don't need it if you behind Danny's head there's a case of water it's not a big deal yeah I got some um this one's hard but when you first saw Paul you said you tried to flip them over was he laying on his back or on his stomach just like he he just like he is you were able to move him okay no ma'am okay and did he help Maggie a lot out here with the animals he helped everybody with everything okay so it was kind of routine for him to be out here as well this place is his absolute passion okay I tried to turn him and then I tried and then I checked him and I I mean I I think I already knew but I checked them first pulled into the property did you come from this direction where all our police cars are or which way did you come in I went to the house okay and then I came from the house this way straight here yes ma'am okay I mean where my vehicle was parked it's probably is where it was okay well no maybe not exactly but it was pretty close because I came back the same route that's right because you went back to get your shotgun when I came back all right Greg what do you got yeah just a few things again no grief not in this forehead not in the sides of the mouth look there's lots of ways to show grief you know there's all kinds of ways that people show grief we associate that with grief muscle there's a ton of stuff you can do with your face to show you're sad that you're disappointed something I mean we know we can because we shouldn't use those parts of his face so he's not botoxed out of existence although maybe that's part of it but there's not even concern in his brow none none when she's talking about rolling over your dead child none none this is within moments and I'll say you can be shocked people behave differently but very few people in life Chase combat a guy you don't know you find dead like that that has an impact it has an impact on people there's no renewed emotion no help me he could be talking about a car accident the way he's responded this and then it came out my tail light was busted out it's about what I hear there's no shock at how horrific this is because if I did it I desensitized after I've seen it I probably didn't expect it look my opinion this guy's just talked himself into a hole and and he thinks he's at the end of it because he goes back into Aussie mode he starts doing the yeah yeah yeah thing the head banging thing again I think he feels like he's at two posts at the end of this thing just my opinion just what I see Chase what do you got so this this Aussie thing you're talking about this head nodding at the end here is something I really want to talk about so first we're seeing a repetitive gesture second we're seeing nodding third we're seeing gum chewing another repetitive gesture if we go off of what the The Godfather says Joe Navarro repetitive gestures are self-soothing and he's experiencing a lot of discomfort during this period of of silence and I think unconsciously he's nodding to both self-soothe and to reassure himself that his story is correct and that there's some form of agreement here in the call with him but I had to call the big guns this morning and I wanted to get Joe Navarro's opinion on this so I sent this video to Joe this morning and this is from Joe so the head nodding is unusual I suppose one could argue that he is going over in his mind what he just said and it's almost as though he's in agreement or satisfied with what he just uttered but that's pure conjecture one of the things you can look at is the increase in the speed of chewing if you speed it up you'll see what I mean now that's not indicative of deception but it is indicative of trying to relieve the stress that follows what he just said and I think they couldn't have been said better than uh than Joe said it and that's all I got Mark who do you got yeah lovely um okay I what I see is his hands leaving frame or almost leaving frame which is a bigger gesture than we've normally seen him do uh the cop next to him now I think is is literally revolted by him there's some uh nausea going on uh with him when his hand comes over he looks away he shifts away um the shotgun comes up again uh I think clearly that the journey to the house is important the shotgun is important the the the nodding I would I would agree you know whether it means anything I wouldn't agree with Joe that there's uh self-soothe and a self-soothe around is my story working is this good for me is this gonna work out right for me because I think he's got an officer next to him who he can see is revolted we see uh the perpetrator here or potential perpetrator uh um uh show disgust when they look over and see the the officer revolted so they know it's going badly for them uh at this point Scott what do you got on this one all right uh when she asked him the way about his son the way his son's uh laying again like Greg was saying no emotion he still hasn't teared up and still not using that Kleenex and then after the second questions question there's so much space before anybody says anything that's when he starts talking and starts using or adding qualifiers or trying to tighten the story up trying to trying to make it sound more believable and make it sound stronger then when she asked him which way it came in his illustrators get huge this is the biggest he's used so far the other ones were okay but he hasn't used a lot of illustrations but they get really big maybe because he's thinking about her back there and that's why he's doing that too to illustrate for her but they've been extremely limited up to this point his his voice volume is more relaxed it gets quieter he looks and sounds more relaxed because I think he feels like everything's going well because he he's on the impression those officers believe him and that guy sitting next to him that police officer sitting next to him he starts pushing on a smell he's good from now with his lip he's uncomfortable so he knows this isn't right he knows something's not right about this but he's playing in school as he can possibly do it but his body's his body language tails on him like Joe Navarro says you could have a poker face but you can't have a poker body and that's what we're seeing there he's doing all these little things that this guy if he if he'd know what to look for like you do now then he would say whoops I got to start adding some more qualifiers to my answer so I I think they know pretty much and and again if you'll if you'll keep an eye on that that um the woman in the back that that police officer in the back watch her throughout this well now that I know this other guy isn't a copper on one of the impression that he isn't boy she just really starts going against this guy she starts scooching away I want to look at her from the beginning then to the end to see how far away she scooched away and now that we know that but I think she's uncomfortable uh with him not hard uncomfortable but he keeps eyeing her nose and seeing what she's writing down but he probably believes this guy you know he probably believes Alex so anyway that's all I got be good yeah um this one's hard but when you first saw Paul you said you tried to flip them over was he laying on his back or on his stomach just like he he just like he is so you were able to move him okay no ma'am okay and did he help Maggie a lot out here with the animals he helped everybody with everything okay so it was kind of routine for him to be out here as well this place is his absolute passion okay I tried to turn him and then I tried and then I checked him and I I mean I I think I already knew but I checked them and when you pulled first pulled into the property did you come from this direction where all our police cars are or which way did you come in I went to the house okay and then I came from the house this way straight here yes ma'am okay I mean when my vehicle was parked it's probably is where it was okay well no maybe not exactly but it was pretty close because I came back the same route that's right because you went back to get your shotgun when I came back so up to this point mark what do you think we've been seeing yeah I've never seen anybody so cool in this situation I think I don't know where we are in the in the case right now on this in court but I I'm going to assume that something is going to come up around the journey to the house uh the shotgun is clearly important within this uh I'm I'm gonna research a little bit more on this extraordinary situation of the high school kid and the uh Navy Seals and the uh black panthers it's exciting exciting story uh Chase well this so far is a video I know for a fact that I'm going to be using for training and I'm no expert on the case or forensics or any of the facts of the case but I'm a behavior expert and I think that we're going to see this play out in court much like it did here in the car with the officers it's going to be a very similar thing where the Tells are going to be very similar the Baseline is going to be very similar and I think the Tells are going to repeat themselves in court I don't think he's been on the stand yet I'm not I don't know much about the case Greg has given me most of my education about this case which is very little but it seems like maybe some stress in his life caused some sort of psychotic break of some sort that made this happen but I don't know Greg yeah I don't know what's causing it I don't know any of that let me tell you when we talk about Baseline we're talking about normal at the moment you need only to watch these videos to see great examples the one if you go back where he says wonderful two different ways is a great indicator of why body language matters but more importantly if you listen to everything he says throughout this you'll hear him with a lot a lot a lot of detail about insignificant events and nothing when it matters when you ask him what he did today boom he goes to the phone he's trying to make a record and prove what he's done however if you ask him a question about what's on sale at the Dollar General guarantee you he knows he'll give you all the details about that that is disturbing alone so too much detail when it doesn't matter not enough when it does and massive loud Flags red flags every flag you can imagine when it comes to why did you come out here today did you have a shotgun are there guns out here all those pertinent areas we see massive shifts in body language we see that butterflying we see tapping feet we see touching face we see shrinking You Name It We this is almost like we have a glossary and we're saying hey would you do this for us and he's a trained chimp Scott what do you got this is a great example so far of seeing of not seeing things we're trying to show you what to look for but same time this is a great example of the things that we're not seeing that you should be seeing so she in other words you're looking for things you're not you're not seeing and so we're not seeing the emotion we should be seeing we're not seeing the the proper rocking we should be seeing with the hands ringing and the crying and things those things are missing all right fellas I think this is another good one and we'll see you next time the behavior panel I don't think so calling first Jason what do you got no beginning of this clip you're doing a little bit like him Chase that's the actually it sort of look like him too Ah that's funny all right we can wait just daytime I'll edit all this out nobody will ever see this man those bars are really dense it's like chewing a whole bag of Gummy Bears oh wait yeah anytime for anyone watching I just want you to make note of Scott's condescending eyebrow raise it's Baseline yeah that's right go ahead are you ready sure if you're ready all right right here in the beginning mm-hmm I'll take it out

9.2.22T Simple Regression with Prediction StatCrunch
[Music] hi this is dr. Don I have a problem out of chapter 9 on regression simple linear regression and in this problem we're given some data which I'm not showing here and it's the links and curse of harbor seals how big around the middle are they we need to find the regression equation we construct a scatter plot with a regression line then use the regression equation to predict the value of y for each of the given values of x if meaningful if the x value is not meaningful to predict the value of y explain that well remember we can only predict safely for X values that are within the range of our data if we're outside the range of our data then we're on the shaky ground so we're not being meaningful we're gonna do this using statcrunch so I'm gonna open up statcrunch now okay I have statcrunch open remember you can click on the little blue rectangle if you're in my stat lab and have the data open directly or you can copy and paste it in as I like to do so I can control where it goes anyway we have our X values listed there the length the Y value the girth and we're just going to go first of all because we want to check and make sure that we're not predicting out of our data range we want to find the maximum values now this is not a large amount of data but if you had a large amount of data you couldn't just inspect it very easily so what I like to do is go to summary stats rows select my column with this again and I want to scroll down here till I get the min and the max and click compute and I'm gonna bring this answer over here and you can see the minimum X we have is 123 the max X we have is 168 so if our x value that we're predicting for is less than 123 it's not reliable if it's more than 1 68 it's not reliable and that's good to know we're gonna get the regression by going to stat regression simple linear and it brings up this dialog box and we want to select the X variable which they tell us nicely X and the y variable we're going to perform the hypothesis test we don't have to change anything here but down in this section we want to put the values of X that we're going to predict for and you click in there and you start typing 1 for 0 comma 1 7 2 comma 1 6 4 comma 1 5 8 and the level that we're going to predict for the 95 percent we don't have to worry about we can just leave that default and we're going to click compute and we get our answers up here and we get the the regression equation there y equal nine point seven five eight or nine point seven five nine which is the intercept and the slope is point six nine five times X the length we've got our correlation coefficient or 0.9 one nine which is pretty highly correlated and then we can look down here on the bottom and we can get our predicted values of Y for each value of x now 140 is okay 140 the predicted value I is 107 point oh nine or 107 point one zero the 172 is outside our range that's more than our max therefore that's unreliable 164 is inside the range one 23.78 and 158 is in the range so that's okay two one nineteen point six one two get our graph we just click the little arrow there and here's eye graph and then we just need to compare this to the graph that we have on our options and pick the right one by looking where the intercept is looking to see if it's a positive from lower left upper right slope and then looking where the different data points so you can just select the right answer that way so that's a quick way to do this using statcrunch in the next video I'll show you how to do the same problem using basic Excel hope this helps [Music]

Online Dialogue with on - Mental Wellbeing during COVID-19
um good afternoon everyone i'm ishad minterov manager of communications gen lab welcome you all in our today's session with u.s embassy that is on mental wellness during covet 19 and we are gen lab we are a civil society organization and we started our journey back in 2015 with a vision of resilient and inclusive bangladesh and we are always working for the youth to come forward create a platform uh to work in the social development sector and bring positive changes both in bangladesh and definitely bring changes in the whole world and till today we have completed nearly 35 projects and along with more than 20 sessions with u.s embassy too one of our significant projects was uh uh united nations harmony and peace week that was held back in 2016 17 18 and 19 and definitely we are trying our best to do this year also online our partners were emk center and u.s embassy and und bangladesh and uh in first time in bangladesh history we conducted climate launch pad uh that is uh uh continuing our continuing project this year and that is the world's largest green business and clean tech idea competition and we are the country lead for not only bangladesh but also uh bhutan and myanmar and today's session is all about mental well-being foreign um foreign one circle welfare organization before we hear from our honorable guest today i would like to request mr josh kemp our cultural officer from u.s embassy to share a few words mr josh kemp listen josh can be your muted correct thank you thank you so much ishrat uh on behalf of the u.s embassy i'm so thrilled to see all of you participating in this topic of really such such importance before i get started though obviously the covet 19 pandemic and recent flooding has upended life across bangladesh and i certainly empathize and my heart goes out to to those of you who have been impacted or who have family members who have been impacted by either of these crises the us embassy continues to work and cooperate with the government of bangladesh to provide assistance to the covet 19 response and urgently needed humanitarian assistance related to the flooding but these are uniquely stressful and challenging times for everyone in the world and in every situation the us embassy and gen lab cooperate frequently on programs like this and i'm so excited and thrilled to see really such a tough panel joining us today thank you for being here for this important topic i'm not a sure i'm not a psychologist but what i can say is is coming from the u.s perspective nearly 185 adults lives with some kind of mental illness ranging from mild to severe so that means probably 46 million america has some diagnosable villains and the statistics are even higher among young adults between 18 and 25 mental illnesses are diagnosed in approximately one out of four young adults i say this because it's okay each year these numbers are also increasing and you know what that's okay it's increasing because more people are seeking treatment reaching out to professionals to discuss their feelings and symptoms seek treatment to live more productive lives so the work of our experts on this panel is laudable and important and to everyone watching the feelings that you're having whatever those feelings may be are normal and there's someone to talk to if you want to talk about how you're feeling i'm not a clinician there are many available but what i can say is that this kind of program and this kind of conversation about mental well-being stress management depression are very important topics and all too often these topics are pushed aside with stigma but we need to more transparently discuss all of these issues so that we can seek treatment and diagnosis where appropriate the u.s embassy is happy to cooperate with gen lab this is such an important topic thank you so much bye thank you mr josh you are always there in our sessions and we are thankful to you jen lab is thankful to you uh india even switzerland saliva foreign online is the founder and president of one circle welfare organization faculty of north south university foreign arendola foreign for that wonderful um it very if there are

Estetrol: From Preclinical to Clinical Pharmacology and Advances in the Understanding... | RTCL.TV
abstract estetrol E4 is a newly discovered natural estrogen which is produced by the human fetus during pregnancy its physiological role is still unknown but it is currently being used in a new combined oral contraceptive pill and is under investigation for use in menopausal hormone therapies E4 is the estrogenic component of this new contraceptive pill and has been extensively studied in both preclinical and clinical trials despite the potential risks associated with estrogens E4 appears to have a lower impact on non-target tissues than other estrogens making it a potentially safer option for contraceptives and menopausal hormone therapies Recent research suggests that E4 may be more selective in its actions and Target specific tissues resulting in fewer side effects this article was authored by Seline Gerard and Shan Michelle fart

fact the fact is that I don't have the best camera and this and that to do everything but [ __ ] matter or the fact is I've come this far so you know I can't just you know abandon this and just be like oh yeah I didn't yeah I've given up on this at all I'm not gonna say my priority will be on this because that will just lead to people being like yeah but bonds just disowned in YouTube I mean I

audience on here for you guys to actually buy shirts but then also if you guys want to have a look at the actual products items that are gonna be on the site all in the talks with supplies and everything so you know all going down in the deep sleep you know these couple days and everything what I've been doing this wasn't something easy I stepped into a good couple people of mind I've known and been talking with and just hung around if the good people that you know motivated me to do this and everything and good couple friends of mine we just keep on sending videos so this is something I haven't done my own business in this and actually realizing how easy now once it easy like in my times it's easy because I actually put the work in to you might not be easy it depends really hold water person when all I've done is just put many many hours into actually working this and realizing that this is possible it was I took quite frequently so I realized that this was possible I was like wait what this whole time I haven't realized this and I could have done it and now I'm doing it that hence the reason again not abandoning YouTube because it was a reason of this because I can literally mix the two between and actually still entertain you guys able hopefully anywhere so that's gonna be my kind of video so it's gonna be shot it's gonna be kind of explaining briefly bondeno calm don't ever think I'm gonna be abandoning YouTube because of the couple weeks I saw one comment what there was only one coming out of there like a brief like a couple weeks are being an active one coming soon all your channels dead like okay I'm it like all of my social media and you see that like I'm working a lot of things right I can't be doing one specific thing always you guys know I've been doing cryptocurrency prior to this I only stayed in it was it was quite recently flat as well but before the kind of Bitcoin boom as you could see I definitely started before in November when that all happened so don't think I jumped on the bandwagon I just got extremely lucky with that been a while since I've actually recorded a video hence why this is probably so weird for me to record and saw out of place if anything from the star I'm gonna be kind of trying to help out with the YouTube stuff it's not an extensive from star goes well and everything we're gonna be also putting our content on this channel and then I can also show you guys some of the products might do even give ways I could possibly do that for let's see how close my actually you know what alone for subscribers give we're right now I'm gonna be giving out one of the products any product that you see in my website to one of you guys I 11,000 subscribers any product on my store I'll be giving it to you guys for 11,000 subscribers don't know didn't expect this video to turn out to a giveaway at the end but I guess now that can lead to me putting it in the title giveaway I'm hoping to actually get around to making some entertaining videos but this is my main priority to work on as much as possible right now to make sure and go smoothly make sure it doesn't fall to bits so yeah you guys are new around here and you've just seen this video this isn't the usual video that I do make if you guys want to see what kind of other videos I make some and tinning want some informative ones and if I'm quite special my last one which was on Bitcoin or whatever I just doesn't even really made that video but I try to help out a few people really to be honest with that and hopefully did still it's not too late with that so go ahead and watch that video if you're not but don't think that that was just gonna be the continuous videos from here because from here I want to do like nice and standing videos follow the channel but also if you want me to talk some kind of entrepreneurial kind of ways and this and that that could be a possibility for the channel because there's a lot of information that could put out for you guys that might be interested intrigued or want to be motivated as there's a couple people that I know personally that say oh yeah not motivate people like they just want to be motivated and it's it's difficult to actually get people motivated even 20:18 you know when the attention spans are shorter than a goldfish so yeah social media I should have said this at the beginning of the video because that shows vital vital please follow it I greatly appreciate it if we don't already follow me on my actual social media then it's that so for all social media on bond

match is gonna be on that so bond do you know it's gonna have the actual brand and everything is gonna be custom designs as well necklaces bracelets mostly bracelets as I said and some other kind of jewelry this and that that's for the most part right now and then also it's kind of like a bonus me being able to actually produce my own kind of branding which has been a huge fact that I wanted to do for years glad to be finally doing it right now so I'm ecstatic with me actually going ahead and putting hard work into this I was like a couple hours everyday into this for the past couple days weeks I mean I don't show it but that's why I've been kind of quiet so hence my own activity because I've been working that's very clear make sure you go have a look and sign up on the website I've

A Few Notes On The Culture, by Iain M Banks
a few notes on the culture by enm Banks firstly and most importantly the culture doesn't really exist it only exists in my mind and the minds of the people who've read about it that having been made clear the culture is a group civilization formed from seven or eight humanoid species space living elements of which established a loose Federation approximately nine thousand years ago the ships and habitats which formed the original Alliance required each other's support to pursue and maintain their independence from the political power structures principally those of mature nation-states and autonomous commercial concerns they had evolved from the Galaxy our galaxy in the culture stories is a place long lived in and Scattered with a variety of life forms in its vast and complicated history it has seen waves of Empires federations colonizations diebacks Wars species-specific Dark Ages renaissances periods of megastructure building and destruction and whole ages of benign indifference and malign neglect at the time of the culture stories there are perhaps a few dozen major space-faring civilizations hundreds of minor ones tens of thousands of species who might develop space travel and an uncountable number who have been there done that and have either gone into locatable but insular retreats to contemplate who knows what or disappeared from the normal Universe altogether to cultivate lives even less comprehensible in this era the culture is one of the more energetic civilizations and initially after its formation which was not without vicissitudes by a chance of timing found a relatively quiet Galaxy around it in which there were various other fairly mature civilizations going about their business traces and Relics of the Elder cultures scattered about the place and due to the fact nobody else had bothered to go wandering on a grand scale for a comparatively long time lots of interesting undiscovered star systems to explore the culture in its history and its ongoing form is an expression of the idea that the nature of space itself determines the type of civilizations which will Thrive there the thought processes of a tribe A Clan a country or a nation-state are essentially two-dimensional and the nature of their power depends on the same flatness territory is all important resources living space lines of communication all are determined by the nature of the plane that the plane is in fact a sphere is irrelevant here that surface and the fact the species concerned are bound to it during their evolution determines the mindset of a ground living species the mindset of an aquatic or avian species is of course rather different essentially the contention is that our currently dominant Power Systems cannot long survive in space beyond a certain technological level a degree of Anarchy is arguably inevitable and anyway preferable to survive in space ships habitats must be self-sufficient or very nearly so the hold of the state or the corporation over them therefore becomes tenuous if the desires of the inhabitants conflict significantly with the requirements of the controlling body on a planet enclaves can be surrounded besieged attacked the superior forces of a state or Corporation Hereafter referred to as hegemonys will tend to Prevail in space a breakaway movement will be far more difficult to control especially if significant parts of it are based on ships or mobile habitats the Hostile nature of the vacuum and the technological complexity of life support mechanisms will make such systems vulnerable to outright attack but that of course would risk the total Destruction of the ship slash habitat so denying its future economic contribution to whatever entity was attempting to control it outright destruction of rebellious ships or habitats of course remains an option for the controlling power but all the usual rules of Uprising real politics still apply especially that concerning the peculiar dialectic of descent which simply stated dictates that in all but the most dedicatedly repressive hegemenies if in a sizeable population there are 100 Rebels all of whom are then rounded up and killed the number of rebels present at the end of the day is not zero and not even 100 but 200 or 300 or more an equation based on human nature which seems often to baffle the military and political mind Rebellion then once space-going and space living become commonplace becomes easier than it might be on the surface of a planet even so this is certainly the most vulnerable point in the timeline of the culture's existence the point at which it is easiest to argue for things turning out quite differently as the extent and sophistication of the hegemony's control mechanisms and its ability and will to repress battles against the Ingenuity skill solidarity and bravery of the rebellious ships and habitats and indeed the Assumption here is that this point has been reached before and the hegemony has won but it is also assumed that for the reasons given above that point is bound to come round again and while the forces of repression need to win every time the progressive elements need only Triumph once concomitant with this is the argument that the nature of life in space that vulnerability as mentioned above would mean that while ships and habitats might more easily become independent from each other and from their legally progenitative hegemonies their crew or inhabitants would always be aware of their Reliance on each other and on the technology which allowed them to live in space the theory here is that the property and social relations of long-term space dwelling especially over Generations would be of a fundamentally different type compared to the norm on a planet the mutuality of dependence involved in an environment which is inherently hostile would necessitate an internal social coherence which would contrast with the external casualness typifying the relations between such ships habitats succinctly socialism within Anarchy without this broad result is in the long run independent of the initial social and economic conditions which give rise to it let me State here a personal conviction that appears right now to be profoundly unfashionable which is that a planned economy can be more productive and more morally desirable than one left to Market forces the market is a good example of evolution in action the try everything and see what works approach this might provide a perfectly morally satisfactory resource management system so long as there was absolutely no question of any sentient creature ever being treated purely as one of those resources the market for all its profoundly inelegant complexities remains a crude and essentially blind system and is without the sort of drastic amendments liable to the economic efficacy which is its greatest claimed asset intrinsically incapable of distinguishing between simple non-use of matter resulting from processual superfluity and the acute prolonged and widespread suffering of conscious beings it is arguably in the elevation of this profoundly mechanistic and in that sense perversely innocent system to a position above all other moral philosophical and political values and considerations that humankind displays most convincingly both its present intellectual immaturity and through grossly pursued selfishness rather than the applied hatred of others a kind of synthetic evil intelligence which is capable of looking farther ahead than the next aggressive mutation can set up long-term aims and work towards them the same amount of raw invention that bursts in all directions from the market can be to some degree channeled and directed so that while the market merely shines and the feudal gutters the planned lasers reaching out coherently and efficiently towards agreed on goals what is vital for such a scheme however and what was always missing in the planned economies of our world's experience is the continual intimate and decisive participation of the mass of the citizenry in determining these goals and designing as well as implementing the plans which should lead towards them of course there is a place for Serendipity and chance in any sensibly envisaged plan and the degree to which this would affect the higher functions of a democratically designed economy would be one of the most important parameters to be set but just as the information we have stored in our libraries and institutions has undeniably outgrown if not outweighed that resident in our genes and just as we may Within A Century Of The Invention of electronics duplicate through machine sentience a process which Evolution took billions of years to achieve so we shall one day abandon the grossly targeted vagaries of the market for the Precision creation of the planned economy the culture of course has gone beyond even that to an economy so much a part of society it is hardly worthy of a separate definition and which is limited only by imagination philosophy and manners and the idea of minimally wasteful Elegance a kind of Galactic ecological awareness Allied to a desire to create Beauty and goodness whatever in the end practice as ever will outshine Theory as mentioned above there is another Force at work in the culture aside from the nature of its human inhabitants and the limitations and opportunities presented by life in space and that is artificial intelligence this is taken for granted in the culture stories and unlike FTL travel is not only likely in the future of our own species but probably inevitable always assuming Homo sapiens avoids destruction certainly there are arguments against the possibility of artificial intelligence but they tend to boil down to one of three assertions one that there is some vital field or other presently intangible influence exclusive to biological life perhaps even carbon-based biological life which may eventually fall within the remit of scientific understanding but which cannot be emulated in any other form all of which is neither impossible nor likely two that self-awareness resides in a supernatural Soul presumably linked to a broad-based occult system involving gods or a god reincarnation or whatever and which one assumes can never be understood scientifically equally improbable though I do write as an atheist and three that matter cannot become self-aware or more precisely that it cannot support any informational formulation which might be said to be self-aware or taken together with its material substrate exhibit the signs of self-awareness I leave all the more than nominally self-aware readers to spot the logical problem with that argument it is of course entirely possible that real AIS will refuse to have anything to do with their human creators or rather perhaps the human creators of their non-human creators but assuming that they do and the design of their software may be amenable to optimization in this regard I would argue that it is quite possible they would agree to help further the aims of their Source civilization a contention will return too shortly at this point regardless of whatever alterations Humanity might impose on itself through genetic manipulation Humanity would no longer be a one-sentience type species the future of our species would affect be affected by and coexist with the future of the AI life forms we create the culture reached this phase at around the same time as it began to inhabit space its AIS cooperate with the humans of the civilization at first the struggle is simply to survive and thrive in space later when the technology required to do so has become mundane the task becomes less physical more metaphysical and the aims of civilization moral rather than material briefly nothing and nobody in the culture is exploited it is essentially an automated civilization in its manufacturing processes with human labor restricted to something indistinguishable from play or a hobby no machine is exploited either the idea here being that any job can be automated in such a way as to ensure that it can be done by a machine well below the level of potential Consciousness what to us would be a stunningly sophisticated computer running a factory for example would be looked on by the culture's AIS as a glorified calculator and no more exploited than an insect is exploited when it pollinates a fruit tree a human later eats a fruit from where intelligent supervision of a manufacturing or maintenance operation is required the intellectual challenge involved and the relative lightness of the effort required would make such supervision rewarding and enjoyable whether for human or machine the precise degree of supervision required can be adjusted to a level which satisfies the demand for it arising from the nature of the civilization's members people and I'd argue the sort of conscious machines which would happily cooperate with them hate to feel exploited but they also hate to feel useless one of the most important tasks in setting up and running a stable and internally content civilization is finding an acceptable balance between the desire for freedom of choice in one's actions and the freedom from Mortal fear in one's life and the need to feel that even in a society so self-correctingly utopian one is still contributing something philosophy matters here and sound education education in the culture is something that never ends it may be at its most intense in the first tenth or so of an individual's life but it goes on until death another subject will return to to live in the culture is to live in a fundamentally rational civilization this may preclude the human species from ever achieving something similar our history is arguably not encouraging in this regard the culture is quite self-consciously rational skeptical and materialist everything matters and nothing does vast though the culture may be 30 trillion people scattered fairly evenly through the Galaxy it is thinly spread exists for now solely in this one Galaxy and has only been around for an eye blink compared to the life of the universe there is life and enjoyment but what of it most matter is not animate most that is animate is not sentient and the ferocity of evolution pre-sentience and too often post-sentions has filled uncountable lives with pain and suffering and even universes die eventually though we'll come back to that too in the midst of this the average culture person human or machine knows that they are lucky to be where they are when they are part of their education both initially and continually comprises the understanding that beings less fortunate though no less intellectually or morally worthy than themselves have suffered and elsewhere are still suffering for the culture to continue without terminal decadence the point needs to be made regularly that its easy Hedonism is not some ground state of nature but something desirable assiduously worked for in the past not necessarily easily attained and requiring appreciation and maintenance both in the present and the future an understanding of the place the culture occupies in the history and development of life in the galaxy is what helps Drive the civilization's largely cooperative and it would claim fundamentally benign technocultural diplomatic policy but the ideas behind it go deeper philosophically the culture accepts generally that questions such as what is the meaning of life are themselves meaningless the question implies indeed an answer to it would demand a moral framework beyond the only moral framework we can comprehend without resorting to Superstition and thus abandoning the moral framework informing and symbiotic with language itself in summary we make our own meanings whether we like it or not the same self-generative belief system applies to the culture's AIS they are designed by other AIS for virtually all of the culture's history within very broad parameters but those parameters do exist culture AIS are designed to want to live to want to experience to desire to understand and to find existence and their own thought processes in some way rewarding even enjoyable the humans of the culture having solved all the obvious problems of their shared pasts to be free from Hunger want disease and the fear of natural disaster and attack would find it a slightly empty existence only and merely enjoying themselves and so need the good works of the contact Section to let them feel vicariously useful for the culture's AIS that need to feel useful is largely replaced by the desire to experience but as a drive it is no less strong the universe or at least in this era the Galaxy is waiting there largely unexplored by the culture anyway its physical principles and laws quite comprehensively understood but the results of 15 billion years of the chaotically formative application and interaction of those laws still far from fully mapped and evaluated by geordell out of chaos the Galaxy is in other words an immensely intrinsically and inexhaustibly interesting place an intellectual playground for machines that know everything except fear and what lies hidden within the next Uncharted Stellar system this is where I think one has to ask why any AI civilization and probably any sophisticated culture at all would want to spread itself everywhere in the Galaxy or the universe for that matter it would be perfectly possible to build a Von Neumann machine that would build copies of itself and eventually unless stopped turn the universe into nothing but those self-copies but the question does arise why what is the point to put it in what we might still regard as frivolous terms but which the culture would have the wisdom to take perfectly seriously where is the fun in that interest the Delight in experience in understanding comes from the unknown understanding is a process as well as a state denoting the shift from the unknown to the known from the random to the ordered a universe where everything is already understood perfectly and where uniformity has replaced diversity would I'd contend be anathema to any self-respecting AI probably only humans find the idea of Von Neumann machines frightening because we half understand and even partially relate to the obsessiveness of the ethos such constructs embody an AI would think the idea mad ludicrous and perhaps most damning of all boring this is not to say that the odd Von Neumann machine event doesn't crop up in the Galaxy every now and again probably by accident rather than design but something so rampantly monomaniac is unlikely to last long pitched against beings possessed of a more rounded wit and which really only want to alter the Von Neumann machine software a bit and make friends one idea behind the culture as it is depicted in the stories is that it has gone through cyclical stages during which there has been extensive human machine interfacing and other stages sometimes coinciding with the human machine eras when extensive genetic alteration has been the norm the era of the stories written so far dating from about 1300 A.D to 2100 A.D is one in which the people of the culture have returned probably temporarily to something more classical in terms of their relations with the machines and the potential of their own genes the culture recognizes expects and incorporates Fashions albeit long-term fashions in such matters it can look back to times when people lived much of their lives in what we would Now call cyberspace and to eras when people chose to alter themselves or their children through genetic manipulation producing a variety of morphological subspecies remnants of the various waves of such civilizational Fashions can be found scattered throughout the culture and virtually everyone in the culture carries the results of genetic manipulation in every cell of their body it is arguably the most reliable signifier of culture status thanks to that genetic manipulation the average culture human will be born whole and healthy and of significantly though not immensely greater intelligence than their basic human genetic inheritance might imply there are thousands of alterations to that human basic inheritance blister-free callusing and a clot filter protecting the brain are two of the less important ones mentioned in the stories but the major changes the standard culture person would expect to be born with would include an optimized immune system and enhanced senses freedom from inheritable diseases or defects the ability to control their autonomic processes and nervous system pain can in effect be switched off and to survive and fully recover from wounds which would either kill or permanently mutilate without such genetic tinkering the vast majority of people are also born with greatly altered glands housed within their central nervous systems usually referred to as drug glands the secret on command mood and sensory appreciation altering compounds into the person's bloodstream a similar preponderance of culture inhabitants have subtly altered reproductive organs and control over the associated nerves to enhance sexual pleasure ovulation is at will in the female and a fetus up to a certain stage may be reabsorbed aborted or held at a static point in its development again as willed an elaborate thought code self-administered in a trance-like state or simply a consistent desire even if not conscious will lead over the course of about a year to what amounts to a viral change from one sex into the other the convention tradition even in the culture during the time of the stories written so far is that each person should give birth to one child in their lives in practice the population grows slowly and sporadically in addition for other reasons as we'll come to later to us perhaps the idea of being able to find out what sex is like for our complementary gender or being able to get drunk slash stoned slash tripped out or whatever just by thinking about it and of course the culture's drug glands produce no unpleasant side effects or physiological addiction may seem like mere wish fulfillment and indeed it is partly wish fulfillment but then the Fulfillment of wishes is both one of civilization's most powerful drives and arguably one of its highest functions we wish to live longer we wish to live more comfortably we wish to live with less anxiety and more enjoyment less ignorance and more knowledge than our ancestors did but the abilities to change sex and to alter one's brain chemistry without resort to external technology or any form of payment both have more serious functions within the culture a society in which it is so easy to change sex will rapidly find out if it is treating one gender better than the other within the population over time they will gradually be greater and greater numbers of the sex it is more rewarding to be and so pressure for change within Society rather than the individuals will presumably therefore build up until some form of sexual equality and hence numerical parity is established in a similar fashion a society in which everybody is free to and does choose to spend the majority of their time zonked out of their brains will know that there is something significantly wrong with reality and one would hope do what it can to make that reality more appealing and less in the pejorative sense mundane implicit in the stories so far is that through self-correcting mechanisms of this nature the culture reached a rough steady state in such matters thousands of years ago and has settled into a kind of long-lived civilizational main sequence which should last for the foreseeable future and thousands of generations which brings us to the length of those generations and the fact that they can be said to exist at all humans in the culture normally live about three and a half to four centuries the majority of their lives consists of a three-century plateau which they reach in what we would compare to our mid-20s after a relatively normal pace of maturation during childhood adolescence and early adulthood they age very slowly during those 300 years then begin to age more quickly then they die philosophy again death is regarded as part of life and nothing including the universe lasts forever it is seen as Bad Manners to try and pretend that death is somehow not natural instead death is seen as giving shape to life while burial cremation and other to us conventional forms of body disposal are not unknown in the culture the most common form of funeral involves the deceased usually surrounded by friends being visited by a displacement drone which using the technique of near instantaneous transmission of a remotely induced Singularity via hyperspace removes the corpse from its last resting place and deposits it in the core of the relevant system's Sun from where the component particles of the cadaver start a million-year migration to the star's surface to shine possibly long after the culture itself is history none of this of course is compulsory nothing in the culture is compulsory some people choose biological immortality others have their personality transcribed into AIS and die happy feeling they continue to Exist Elsewhere others again go into storage to be woken in more or less interesting times or only every decade or Century or Eon or over exponentially increasing intervals or only when it looks like something really different is happening culture starships that is all classes of ship above interplanetary are sentient their minds sophisticated AIS working largely in hyperspace to take advantage of the higher light speed there bear the same relation to the fabric of the ship as a human brain does to the human body the mind is the important bit and the rest is a life support and transport system humans and independent drones the culture's non-android individual AIS of roughly human equivalent intelligence are unnecessary for the running of the starships and have a status somewhere between passengers pets and parasites the culture's largest vessels apart from certain artworks and a few eccentrics are the general systems vehicles of the contact Section contact is the part of the culture concerned with discovering cataloging investigating evaluating and if thought prudent interacting with other civilizations its rationale and activities are covered elsewhere in the stories the gsvs are fast and very large craft measured in kilometers and inhabited by millions of people and machines the idea behind them is that they represent the culture fully all that the culture knows each gsv knows anything that can be done anywhere in the culture can be done within or by any gsv in terms of both information and Technology they represent a last resort and act like holographic fragments of the culture itself the whole contained within each part in our terms the abilities of a gsv are those of at least a large State and arguably a whole planet subject only to the Proviso that even the culture prefers to scoop up matter rather than create it from nothing gsvs do require raw material contact is a relatively small part of the whole culture however and the average culture citizen will rarely encounter a gsv or other contact ship in person the craft they will normally have the most to do with are cruise ships Interstellar passenger vessels transporting people from Habitat to Habitat and visiting the more interesting systems Stars nebuli holes and so on in the locality again this type of Tourism is partly long-term fashion people travel because they can not because they have to they could stay at home and appear to travel to exotic places through what we would Now call virtual reality or send an information construct of themselves to a ship or other entity that would do the experiencing for them and incorporate the memories themselves later there have been times especially just after the relevant VR technology was perfected when the amount of real physical tourism shrank drastically whereas during the time the stories are set apart from during the most intense phase of the adiran war anything up to a tenth of the culture's citizens might be traveling in space at any one time planets figure little in the life of the average culture person there are a few handfuls of what are regarded as home planets and a few hundred more that were colonized sometimes after terraforming in the early days before the culture proper came into being but only a fraction of a percent of the culture's inhabitants live on them many more live permanently on ships more people live in rocks hollowed out asteroids and planetoids almost all fitted with drives and some after nine Millennia having been fitted with dozens of different consecutively more advanced engines the majority however live in larger artificial habitats predominantly orbitals perhaps the easiest way to envisage an orbital is to compare it to the idea that inspired it this sounds better than saying here's where I stole it from if you know what a ring world is invented by Larry Niven a segment of a Dyson Sphere then just discard the shadow squares shrink the whole thing till it's about three million kilometers across and place in orbit around a suitable star tilted just off the ecliptic spin it to produce one gravity and that gives you an automatic 24-hour day night cycle roughly the culture's day is actually a bit longer an elliptical orbit provides seasons of course the materials used in the construction of something 10 million kilometers in circumference spinning once every 24 hours are far beyond anything we can realistically imagine now and it is quite possible that the physical constraints imposed by the strength of atomic bonds ensure that such structures will prove impossible to construct but if it is possible to build on a such a scale and subject such structures to forces of these magnitudes then I'd submit that there is an Elegance in using the same rotation to produce both an acceptable day night cycle and an apparent gravity which makes the idea intrinsically attractive usually rather than construct whole orbitals in one operation the culture starts with plates a pair of slabs of land and water plus full retaining walls of course of not less than a thousand kilometers to a side spinning in a similar orbit attached by tensor fields to each other and behaving like sections of a completed orbital this variation provides greater flexibility when responding to population increase further plate pairs can then be added until the orbital is complete the attraction of orbitals is their matter efficiency for one planet the size of Earth population 6 billion at the moment Mass 6 by 1024 kilograms it would be possible using the same amount of matter to build 1500 full orbitals each one boasting a surface area 20 times that of Earth and eventually holding a maximum population of perhaps 50 billion people the culture would regard Earth at present as overcrowded by a factor of about two though it would consider the land to water ratio about right not of course that the culture would do anything as delinquent as actually deconstructing a planet to make orbitals simply removing the sort of wandering debris for example comets and asteroids which the average solar system comes equipped with and which would threaten such an artificial world's Integrity through Collision almost always in itself provides sufficient material for the construction of at least one full orbital a trade-off whose Conservatory Elegance is almost blissfully appealing to the average mind while Interstellar matter in the form of dust clouds Brown dwarves and the like provides more distant mining sites from which the amount of mass required for several complete orbitals may be removed with negligible effect whatever the source material orbitals are obviously far more mass efficient in providing living space than planets the culture as is made clear in use of weapons regards terraforming generally as ecologically unsound the Wilderness should be left as it is when it is so easy to build Paradise in space from so little an idea of how the day night cycle appears on the surface of an orbital can be gained by taking an ordinary belt buckling it so that it forms a circle and putting your eye to the outside of one of the belt's holes looking through the hole at a light bulb and slowly rotating the whole belt will give some idea of how a star appears to move across the sky when seen from an orbital though it will also leave you looking rather silly as indicated the usual minimum for the width of an orbital is about a thousand kilometers 2000 if you count the sloped mostly transparent retaining walls which usually extend to 500 kilometers or so above the plate land sea surface the normal ratio of land to C is one three so that on each plate assuming they are being constructed in the balanced pairs described above a very roughly Square Island rests in the middle of a sea with approximately 250 kilometers from the shore of the land mass to the retaining walls orbitals though like everything else in the culture vary enormously one thing almost every orbital whether just two plates or a completed closed orbital does have is a hub as its name implies The Hub sits in the center of the orbital equidistant from all parts of the main circumferential structure but not physically joined to it normally The Hub is where the orbitals controlling AI often a mind usually exists running or helping to run the orbital's transport manufacturing maintenance and subsidiary systems acting as switchboard for Trans orbital Communications library and general information Point traffic control for approaching departing and close passing ships and generally working as the orbital's principle link with the rest of the culture during the construction phase of a plate pair the Hub will normally control the process the design of a plate sometimes incorporates the Deep or strategic structure of the surface geography so that the plate medium itself contains the corrugations that will become mountains valleys and lakes more commonly the plate surface is left flat and the Strategic structures on the inner surface also constructed from plate-based material are added later under either method the plates manufacturing and maintenance systems are located within the indentations or Hollows of the Strategic structure leaving the land surface free to assume a rural appearance once the Tactical geomorphology has been designed and positioned the plates complement of water and air has been in place the necessary weathering has occurred and the relevant flora and fauna have been introduced the surface of the plate base is pierced by multitudinal shafts allowing access to the factory and maintenance volumes and to the subsurface Transport Systems almost invariably these include restricted single aperture concentrically rotating airlocks paired in sequence existing on the outer surface of the base material an orbital's rapid Transport Systems operate in vacuum with the resulting advantages the lack of air resistance confers the relatively uncluttered nature of the orbital's outer surface whether flat allowing the systems to operate next to that surface or corrugated requiring sling Bridges under unoccupied Mountain indentations means that the systems can be both high capacity and extremely flexible Journey starting points and destinations can be highly specific for the same reason an isolated house or a small village will have its own access shaft and in large accommodations a shaft will usually be within a few minutes walk surface transport on orbitals tends to be used when the pleasure of making the journey is itself part of the reason for traveling air travel is common enough if still far slower than subsurface travel though individual plates often have their own guidelines concerning the amount of air travel thought appropriate such guidelines are part of one's manners and not formalized in anything as crude as laws the culture doesn't actually have laws there are of course agreed on forms of behavior manners as mentioned above but nothing that we would recognize as a legal framework not being spoken to not being invited to parties finding sarcastic Anonymous articles and stories about yourself in the information Network these are the normal forms of manner enforcement in the culture the very worst crime to use our terminology of course is murder defined as irretrievable brain death or total personality loss in the case of an AI the result punishment if you will is the offer of treatment and what is known as a slap drone all a slap drone does is follow the murderer around for the rest of their life to make sure they never murder again there are less severe variations on this theme to deal with people who are simply violent in a society where material scarcity is unknown and the only real value is sentimental value there is little motive or opportunity for the sort of action we would class as a crime against property megalomaniacs are not unknown in the culture but they tend to be diverted successfully into highly complicated games there are entire orbitals where some of these philosophically crude obsessive games are played though most are in virtual reality something of a status symbol for the determined megalomaniac is having one's own Starship this is considered wasteful by most people and is also futile if the purpose of having it is to escape the culture completely and say set up oneself up as God or Emperor on some backward Planet the person might be free to Pilot there obviously non-ai-controlled ship and even approach a planet but the contact Section is equally free to follow that person wherever they go and do whatever it thinks appropriate to stop him or her from doing anything injurious or unpleasant to whatever civil realizations they come into or attempt to come into contact with this tends to be frustrating and virtual reality Games up to and including utter involvement level in which the player has to make a real and sustained effort to return to the real world and can even forget that it exists entirely are far more satisfying some people however refuse this Escape Route too and leave the culture altogether for a civilization that suits them better and where they can operate in a system which gives them the kind of rewards they seek to renounce the culture so is to lose access to its technology though and again contact supervises the entry of such people into their chosen civilization at a level which guarantees they aren't starting with too great an advantage compared to the original inhabitants and retains the option of interfering if it sees fit a few such apparently anti-social people are even used by contact itself especially by the special circumstances section the way the culture creates AIS means that a small number of them suffer from similar personality problems such machines are given the choice of Cooperative redesign a more limited role in the culture than they might have had otherwise or a similarly constrained exile politics in the culture consists of referenda on issues whenever they are raised generally anyone May propose a ballot on any issue at any time all citizens have one vote where issues concern some subdivision or part of a total habitat all those human and machine who may reasonably claim to be affected by the outcome of a poll May cast a vote opinions are expressed and positions on issues outlined mostly via the information Network freely available naturally and it is here that an individual May exercise the most personal influence given that the decisions reached as a result of those votes are usually implemented and monitored through a hub or other supervisory machine with humans acting usually on a rotor basis more as liaison officers than in any sort of decision-making executive capacity one of the few rules the culture adheres to with any exactitude at all is that a person's access to power should be an inverse proportion to their desire for it the sad fact for the aspiring Politico in the culture is that the levers of Power are extremely widely distributed and very short see entry on megalomaniacs above the intellectual structural cohesion of a Starship of course limits the sort of viable votes possible on such vessels though as a rule even the most arrogant craft at least pretend to listen when their guests suggest say making a detour to watch a supernova or increasing the area of Parkland on board day-to-day life in the culture varies considerably from place to place but there is a general stability about it we might find either extremely peaceful or ultimately rather disappointing depending on our individual temperament we after all are used to living in times of great change we expect major technological developments and have learned to adapt indeed expect to have to adapt on a more or less continual basis changing in the developed World our cars our entertainment systems and a whole variety of household objects every few years in contrast the culture builds to last it is not uncommon for an aircraft for example to be handed down through several Generations important technological advances still take place but they don't tend to affect day-to-day life the way that the invention of the internal combustion engine heavier than air flying machines and electronics have affected the lives of those who have lived during the past Century on Earth even the relative homogeneity of the people one would meet when living on the average orbital with relatively few children and physically old people would tend for us to reinforce the feeling of sameness though the scattering of genetically altered morphologically extreme people around would help compensate for this in terms of personal relations and family groupings the culture is predictably full of every possible permutation and possibility but the most common lifestyle consists of groups of people of mixed Generations linked by loose Family Ties living in a semi-communal dwelling or group of dwellings to be a child in the culture is to have a mother perhaps a father probably not a brother or sister but large numbers of aunts and uncles and various cousins usually a mother will avoid changing sex during the first few years of a child's life though of course if you want to confuse your child in the rare event of a parent Mal treating a child a definition which includes depriving the child of the opportunity for Education it is considered acceptable for people close to them usually with the help of the relevant mind ship or Hub Ai and subject to the sort of small-scale democratic process outlined above to supervise the child's subsequent development in general the culture doesn't actively encourage immigration it looks too much like a disguised form of colonialism contact's preferred methods are intended to help other civilizations develop their own potential as a whole and are designed to neither leech away their best and brightest nor turn such civilizations into miniature versions of the culture individuals groups and even whole lesser civilizations do become part of the culture on occasion however if there seems to be a particularly good reason and if contact reckons it won't upset any other interested parties in the locality just who and what is and isn't culture is something of a difficult question to answer though as has been said in one of the books the culture kind of Fades out at the edges there are still fragments millions of ships hundreds of orbitals whole systems of the peace faction of the culture which split from the main section just before the start of the adiran war when ships and habitats voted independently on the need to go to war at all the minority simply declared itself neutral in the hostilities and the reintegration of the peace faction after the cessation of hostilities was never totally completed many people in it preferring to stay outside the majority culture as long as it did not renounce the future use of force the Geno fixing which established the potential for inter-species breeding at the foundation of the culture is the most obvious indicator of what we might call culturehood in humans but not everybody has it Some people prefer to be more human basic for aesthetic or philosophical reasons while some are so altered from that human basic state that any interbreeding is impossible the status of some of the rocks and a few mostly very old habitats is marginal for a variety of reasons contact is the most coherent and consistent part of the culture certainly when considered on a galactic scale yet it is only a very small part of it is almost a civilization within a civilization and no more typifies its host than an armed service does a peaceful state even the cultures is prized language Moran is not spoken by every culture person and is used well outside the limits of the civilization itself names culture names act as an address if the person concerned stays where they were brought up let's take an example balveda from consider fliebus her full name is jubawal rabaruansa perostek alsene balveda damned to safe the first part tells you she was born brought up on rabaro and plate in the Jubal Stellar system where there is only one orbital in a system the first part of a name will often be the name of the orbital rather than the star peristek is her given name almost invariably the choice of one's mother alsin is her chosen name people usually choose their names in their teens and sometimes have a succession through their lives and al-sin is a graceful but Fierce avian Raptor common to many orbitals in the region which includes the Jubal system balveda is her family name usually one's mother's family name and to see if is the house estate she was raised within the sa affix on the first part of her name would translate into ER in English we might all start our names with sun earther in English if we were to adopt the same nomenclature and the damn part is similar to the German Vaughn of course not everyone follows this naming system but most do and the culture tries to ensure that star and orbital names are unique to avoid confusion now in all the above there are two untold stories implicit one is the history of the culture's formation which was a lot less easy and more troubled than its later demeanor might lead one to expect and the other is the story which answers the question why were there all those so similar humanoid species scattered around the galaxy in the first place each story is too complicated to relate here lastly something of the totally fake cosmology that underpins the shakily credible star drives mentioned in the culture stories even if you can accept all the above featuring a humanoid species that seems to exhibit no real greed paranoia stupidity fanaticism or bigotry wait till you read this we accept that the three dimensions of space we live in are curved that space-time describes a hypersphere just as the two dimensions of length and width on the surface of a totally smooth Planet curve in a third dimension to produce a three-dimensional sphere in the culture Stories the idea is that when you imagine the hypersphere which is our expanding Universe rather than thinking of a growing Hollow sphere like a inflating beach ball for example think of an onion an expanding onion certainly but an onion nevertheless within our universe our hypersphere there are whole layers of younger smaller hyperspheres and we are not the very outermost skin of that expanding onion either there are older larger universes Beyond ours too between each Universe there is something called the energy grid I said this was all fake I have no idea what this is but it's what the culture Starships run on and of course if you could get through the energy grid to a younger universe and then repeat the process now we really are talking about immortality this is why there are two types of hyperspace mentioned in the stories infraspace within our hypersphere and Ultra space without comes the difficult bit switch to seven dimensions and even our four-dimensional universe can be described as a circle so forget about the onion think of a donut a donut with only a very tiny hole in the middle that hole is the cosmic Center The Singularity the great initiating Fireball the place the universe has come from and it didn't exist just in the instant our universe came into being it exists all the time and it's exploding all the time like some Cosmic car engine producing universes like exhaust smoke as each Universe comes into being detonating and spreading and expanding it or rather the single Circle we are using to describe it goes gradually up the inner slope of our donut like a widening ripple from a stone flung in a pond it goes over the top of the donut reaches its furthest extent on the outside edge of the donut and then starts the long Contracting collapsing Journey back in towards the cosmic Center again to be reborn or at least it does if it's on that donut the donut is itself Hollow filled with smaller ones where the universes don't live so long and there are larger ones outside it where the universes live longer and maybe there are universes that aren't on Donuts at all and never fall back in and just dissipate out into some form of metaspace where fragments of them are captured eventually by the attraction of another donut and fall in towards its Cosmic center with the debris of lots of other dissipated universes to be reborn as something quite different again who knows I know it's all nonsense but you've got to admit it's impressive nonsense and like I said at the start none of it exists anyway does it anyway that's more than enough of me pontificating with best

Next Steps Foundations: Integrated Library System
[Music] hello everybody my name is george williams and i'm the next search catalog coordinator at northeast kansas library system and today i'm going to do a quick overview that we're calling what is an ils this is part of a series of videos for new staff working at next search catalog libraries and we have many staff that are not only new to next but they're also new to libraries so these overview videos are designed for staff that don't have a lot of library experience now ils is an acronym it's short for integrated library system but you might also hear it referred to by some other names some places it's called the library management system or lms sometimes you might hear it referred to as the integrated library management system or ilms which is not to be confused with the imls which is another library acronym that's short for institute of museum and library services but you might also hear it referred to as the catalog the staff catalog the system the computer or for us you might hear referred to as next or an express or coha so the quick five second definition of an ios is right there on the screen it's a computer system designed to put all of the programs that a library might use to conduct its business into one integrated piece of software and ils is generally include a cataloging module the ability to search the catalog a borrower's database information about borrowers circulation system requests so people can request things that aren't checked in and in opac opec is another abbreviation it's short for online public access catalog uh but then there's some other components these are the most common components other components that we have that we don't use so much are cereals for managing subscriptions acquisitions uh we use that a tiny little bit but not much overdue notices everybody uses that but i'm the only one that has the ability to modify those in next search catalog course reserves and authority control those are generally the basic components you find in most ilses and currently there are a whole lot of ilses out there in the library world so some names you might hear from time to time if in your library career include alma apollo atrium carl destiny destiny is widely used at school libraries evergreen uh library solutions is made by a company called tlc opals is widely used in church libraries uh polaris sierra cersei dynex they have a product called symphony that's extremely popular verso you might hear a little bit about verso in kansas because verso has a product called share it that is what the state of kansas used for its statewide interlibrary loan services the world share is used by worldcat but the one you might hear the most in next search catalog is coha because koha is the ils used by nexsearch catalog so we'll do a quick brief history of the ils the first major component of an ils is the catalog so let's start there the first catalogs were simply the librarians in 10 bc in rome if you wanted something out of the library you would go find a librarian the that's just the way it worked the libraries knew everything was in that was in the library and so when you wanted to find something you talk to them uh there are some drawbacks of that though um the bigger library gets the harder it is for people to know what's in it um if you've got multiple librarians some of them are going to be good at remembering something so we're going to be good about others the librarian in a bigger library doesn't necessarily get to read all the books even back 2000 years ago some of the libraries were starting to get pretty big and the worst drawback of all is that if the librarian dies all of that catalog knowledge goes with them so it's pretty common for libraries to have librarians to have a good idea what's in their library um but they started keeping lists quite a long time ago the slide you see up on the screen there now this is a library catalog this is actually part of a catalog from tormia on the east coast of sicily these tablets were discovered during a construction project in 1969 and it's a list of things that were in the library in termia and keeping a list keeping a physical copy of a list of what was in the library that was pretty common and it lasted a long time that's what catalogs were here's actually on this slide is a picture of a page from the toledo public library catalog from about 1880. so the disadvantage of a big book of lists uh is that um what do you do when material gets added or removed somebody has to go in and edit the list and if you've got a printed book adding things is complex it's hard to search it's not a perfect system there's a lot of disadvantages but this kind of got libraries along all the way you know for quite a long time what really changes in libraries though is uh the renaissance and the invention of the printing press when gutenberg invents the printing press publishing uh in europe goes from a few hundred books a year to thousands of books a year and by the time we get up to the modern period when we get to the 1700s and 1800s there are tens of thousands of books being printed every year and uh libraries can't keep their paper catalogs up to date there was a revolution in printing and publishing and so the library catalog needed a revolution too and guess what that came along in during the french revolution cards for the catalog that was a french idea that was a french concept uh the old government was out they were beheaded and the new government was in and one of the things that the new government did was that they seized property from the church and from a lot of rich people especially the rich people that were being executed so in 1794 i believe it is the french government seizes all the property of the catholic church including uh the library so uh this is the library this is the monastery at mon st michelle and like all the other french libraries their property was seized and all the books were seized and uh after a few missteps of what to do with that property i won't talk about what the french originally planned to do they came up with the idea of let's create a system of public libraries throughout the country and uh all the books that they had seized from the people they'd executed all the books they'd seized from the church that was the basis for their new public library system so librarians had to come up with a way um that you know there was an explosion of libraries so there's an explosion new new library staff they have to find a way to come up with protocols for how to catalog these books and cataloging procedures that could be easily understood by new people to the library world and they could be repeated throughout any library in france and a way to keep a catalog up to date with this huge influx of stuff it was chaos there are people uh their books coming in from from estates where people have been had their property seized there's books coming in from the churches there's books coming in from monasteries it was chaos and so somebody came up with this crazy idea at least it sounds crazy to us they said why don't we write the information about these books on the backs of playing cards um the reason it sounds crazy to us is because uh the backs of modern playing cards have a design on them uh they have pictures on them they have stuff on them but in the 1790s in france the backs of the playing cards were blank and cards are kind of the perfect medium for a physical library catalog because cards can be sorted resorted shuffled around you can add things to the card catalog you can take things out it's really easy and the cards are durable and so this starts in france in the 1790s and by the 1900s most of the major libraries in the western world had adopted the card catalog as their method for cataloging materials so i don't want everybody to think that the catalog is the only part of the ios because the borrower's borrower data is important too so let's switch gears here and uh talk about lending and so that's one of the issues is for most of the history of libraries books stayed in the library except for special circumstances when you think about it books are ancient books and medieval books are a pretty rare commodity they have to be they're printed on uh vellum or papyrus you know it was not easy to manufacture paper um and so most of the libraries that had materials that had books they didn't get loaned out and when when they did on those rare occasions where people borrowed things the librarians knew who was who who the people were that were borrowing the books in the middle ages lending becomes more common because medieval libraries lent collections of books they led groups of books to other libraries so that another library could come and say you know we'd like copies of these five things and so the library would lend those five things to another library so they could take them back and copy them and then they would give the originals back and when they did this they actually drew up contracts that say this is what we're loaning you this is how when you need to get them back by and if you never return them this is what we're going to charge you um for um for not returning those and it would so library fines were really you know uh dealt with in terms of a barter system you know if you don't return these five books you owe us four cows and two pigs and maybe a couple of gold pieces books were rare commodities by the 1900s um [Music] there were really two types of libraries in the united states of america there were reading rooms where you would just go in and read the books in the in the library and then there were lending libraries they were pretty common by the beginning of the 20th century and and even most lending libraries also had reading rooms and so [Music] libraries when lending became more common they used to track who had the different materials and ledgers this actually this slide is a page of the new york public library's ledger there's uh herman melville in the bottom half of the page this is a list of the three books that he checked out in april of 1850 um so it was a pretty rudimentary system just a big book full of names and what they've borrowed so to get back to card catalogs by the 1900s by 1900 the library of congress had adopted the card catalog as its means for maintaining a catalog of what was in its collections and there's a slide of the card catalog department at the library of congress around the turn of the century the library of congress had another service too this is a picture from the catalog distribution service operated by the library of congress you could subscribe to cards uh catalog cards from the library congress you would at your library you would buy books like in january and february and march at the end of march you would send a list of what you purchased off to the library of congress and they would print off the cards to go with those books and then they would mail them off to you and that way you didn't have to librarians at public libraries didn't have to catalog their own materials they could just buy the cataloging essentially and what it did for the united states is it made card catalogs very consistent because the cards were all produced by the centralized organization was a pretty common practice membership cards or what we now call library cards they came into use widely in the late 1800s and early 1900s when libraries stop being reading rooms and became lending libraries this card that you see in the slide here the the kind of orangish card there with the metal plate in it that's um uh was an invention by the gaylord brothers um they invented the metal stamp card and i believe it was 1932 and these com cards were enormously popular and widely used throughout the united states of america all the way up until the 1980s i actually had a metal stamp library card was the first library card i got in 1975 at idaho falls public library but unlike a ledger what a library card means is that the borrower information has to be kept separate from the circulation information because all you're doing is stamping a card number into the into the the book uh the card pocket from the book and so you need to have paper stored somewhere else that has the um borrower information that goes with that card number in it so i grew up in idaho falls which at the time was a town of about 30 to 35 000 and about 10 000 people had library cards so that meant that somewhere in the idaho falls public library they were maintaining 10 000 pieces of paper that had contact information for their library card holders on it a lot of paper a lot of storage and not by our standards today not the most efficient way of storing data and that becomes the issue by the 1960s libraries were running out of space for card catalogs when i started at the university of idaho in 1985 the card catalog at the university of idaho took up approximately 700 square feet on the first floor of the library as a [Music] as a reference point you know the first house that i lived in the first house that i rented with two roommates and i um was only 510 square feet um so the card catalog at the university of iowa library was bigger than the house that i lived in when i was attending school at the university of idaho um so in the 60s because they were running out of space the library of congress began the mark pilot project and this pri project was designed to create a format for putting bibliographic data into a computer even earlier than that though some libraries had started experimenting with storing borrower data on ibm punch cards but even the punch cards required space for physical storage and by the 1960s and 1970s libraries were looking for more advanced technology for data storage for borrower information punch cards are are almost as space consuming as paper membership forms and with the advent of magnetic data it was thought that there could be an easier way to store borrower information so i don't know the exact moment that this came into being but uh henriette avram was the lead designer of the mark format that we still use for bibliographic data but i have no idea who first came up with the idea for storing borrower data but from the sake of my imagination i'm just going to say for a minute that it was some guy named bob and in my imagination the way we get to the first integrated library system is that bob and henriette meet on an elevator in the library of congress one day and bob asks sanriette what she's working on and she says i'm working on a way to put bibliographic data on a computer and the bob says hey i've been working on a way to put membership data on a computer and then i i think they both probably turned to each other and they said hey what if we integrate the two and put them on the same computer and thus comes the ils the idea that we can use one computer to store all of this data and the great thing about putting the bibliographic data and the item data and the borrower data all on the same computer is you can then use that system to track circulation and do inventory control so other components get added over time somebody in the serials department said hey could we use that to track subscription information um somebody else said you know we can do authority control we can all of these subject headings are weird so let's find a way to do authority control and we can have all the subject headings match but coha is the integrated library system that we use for nexsearch catalog and it's got all the components we need it's got a cataloging component so we can track what are the titles what are the items that the library owns once you've got that information into an ils you want to be able to search it and there's an advanced search module for coha and we've got borrower data in the patrons module and once we have those together we have a circulation module that sold that allows us to say these borrowers have borrowed these items uh beyond that there is a serials module that currently none of the libraries index search catalog are using a serials module is a way to help track magazine subscriptions and journal subscriptions and to see what issues have arrived what the titles you own magazines for it's a good way to store and manage subscriptions there's an acquisitions module we are using the acquisitions module for our patron suggestion system which allows patrons to use the ils to suggest purchases of things that are not already in the catalog um notices come from the tools and administrative side of koha it's a system that is in place in quahog that currently only nekle staff really have a lot of control over there's a course reserves module this is a module that's usually used at academic libraries so let's say you're in an academic library and there's a class that you're teaching and there are books in the library that you want to make easily available to the students in your class you put them on reserve so that people can go to the circulation desk and say you know i need the books for uh english 257 or you know it's a it's an easy way for academic libraries to set aside materials and make them available only to people taking a specific class and then there's authority control which is a module designed to help make it so that all of the subject headings match so every time somebody has a book in the catalog where the subject is um cooking that cooking is always spelled the same way and it always the the subject headings are consistent and so you don't have some books that have the subject of cookery and some of them that have cooking and some say meals you know you want the subjects to all match uh when the when the subjects are the same or similar and authority control is something we will be adding to koha for next search catalog by the end of 2022 and then finally there is the opac and like i said that is the online patron access catalog and this is where borrowers can interact with their account they can search the catalog they can place requests they can see what fines and fees they have it's it's the way that the borrowers access our computer system now beyond the ils our ils can talk to other ilses it can talk to other systems it can talk to other devices and so our integrated library system can integrate with other systems and that's mostly done through a protocol called standard interchange protocol or sip and that's what allows uh our integrated library system to talk to things like hoopla or canopy or overdrive and if you don't know what those are yet there will probably be a video coming soon that will tell you uh more information about those so let me recap everything an ils is a computer system designed to combine all of the programs a library might use to conduct its business into one integrated piece of software so thanks for listening again my name is george williams and i'm the next search catalog coordinator at northeast kansas library system if you have any questions you can contact us at nichols our contact information is up there on the screen and if you have technical questions about nexsearch catalog the best place to ask is to send an email to nexthelp nichols.org thanks a lot [Music] you

Coffee bean storage | Wikipedia audio article
coffee bean storage is a broad term describing the packaging and preservation of coffee beans throughout the process from harvesting to brewing although the term is applicable to many phases of this process it is typically applied to ideal home storage for maximum consumer coffee enjoyment topic green coffee after the cherries are put through the pulper and the seeds have been soaked they are set out to sundry for a period of one week the beans are periodically raked to ensure even drying once dried the beans will form a thin paper-like shell called parchment once formed the parchment will increase the bean storage life considerably when the beans are ready the parchment is removed and the beans are graded and sorted according size weight and defects the sorted beans are then stored in 60 or 70 kilograms sacs called sisal bags that help the beans retain moisture for a longer period of time the storage time cannot exceed one year for the beans to be considered a current crop if the green coffee remains in storage for longer than a year it is considered old crop and is less valuable because of its drier state topic roast coffee once a coffee bean is roasted it is either packaged immediately for sale or ground and then packaged for sale packages used are typically either an airtight plastic container or vacuum sealed wrapping or a folded over bag with a pressure relief valve each type of package has its own advantages the airtight containers allow maximum freshness of the bean and prolong its shelf life whilst the valve allows excess carbon dioxide and other gases to escape the carbon dioxide as much as 10 L per kilogram of coffee for dark roasted coffee is not released because it is harmful to the flavor quite the contrary it protects the beans against oxidation but excess pressure could damage the container reported experience is that a few days of carbon dioxide release is needed between roasting and brewing for best results there is also informed opinion that storage of freshly roasted beans in a can pressurized with nitrogen gas with excess pressure build-up vented via a relief valve provides optimal storage for extended periods while promoting a beneficial aging effect related to distribution of natural oils by the pressure topic home storage you once but the method of storage used depends on the type coffee purchased green beans store the best in cooled airtight containers and can easily last in this state for a year without losing flavor roasted whole beams are best stored in airtight containers out of the light the best material choices for the container are ceramic or opaque glass plastic and metal may alter the flavor of the coffee bean in addition for the first week of storage containers should be opened or vented by a relief valve to release the carbon dioxide gas that will be produced by the roasted beans to prevent the gas from changing the quality of the coffee whole bean roasted coffee stored in this manner will last for about two weeks the advisability of freezing roasted beans is controversial those advocating freezing believe that the flavor can then last for one to two months if beans are frozen leaving them frozen until brewing best preserves the flavor of the coffee frozen beans will grind the same as unfrozen beams but refreezing beans alters the quality of the coffee coffee grounds are stored in airtight ceramic or glass containers like roasted beans due to increased total surface area of coffee grounds the grounds go stale in days rather than weeks in addition freezing has no effect in increasing the storage life of coffee grounds

ARROGANT Preacher gets EXPOSED by Muslim! *STREET DAWAH*
do you know for certain without a doubt that god almighty i do know i do know that it's up to god's mercy it's god's mercy [Music] and that's why the bible says in the old testament that without the shedding of blood there is no attorney let me tell you something if i go to hell if i go to hell because i mean you said i'm going to hell you don't want me you're on your way you will die in your sins and that's why you're going to die in your sins and you're on the way to hell okay if you're saying if i meet god when i do meet god on the day of judgment and i explained to allah god almighty that look i followed their teachings i did everything possible to emulate them in their lifestyle but when they told me to say that you have a son or that there's likeness to you ya ruby my lord i did not believe that i believe that you are one and alone you are ahad you are there's nothing like you because of that i would never say that there's someone like you because glory be to you there's nothing like you no no if you want to know me in hell for that you're not a just god but god is the most just therefore he knows we will not be thrown into a fire my friend do you know for certain without a doubt that god almighty is going to let you in no and this is why because you don't have atonement for sins i know is it my turn no is it my turn no it's not it's not i i know wait for my turn sins have been forgiven okay in this current state because john the baptist said behold the lamb of god who takes away the sins of the world wait for my turn son have the father always wait for my church those who abide in the son the son and his father also abide in me and so therefore the son abides in every believer jesus said i will abide in you and so jesus is saying i can be in all places at all times because i can abide in you when you go over there i could abide in you would you jesus was in flesh he was in flesh he couldn't do that because he couldn't do that he's been blessed if he was a god in flesh he couldn't do that if he's god in flesh he can't do that now you're saying that oh because i don't know if i'm going to hell for certain for heaven because of that argument you know for certain that you're going to go that means you're right that's actually false and let me tell you why here's listen to the reason and logic alex okay so as i mentioned to the lady that was here before who's long gone and you took over from the conversation then i'm a schoolteacher man i mean i love her and all everything like that but i was trying to have a conversation with you don't backbite okay so with that being said i'm a school yeah you're backfired because she's not here you're speaking ill over don't say that i'm not speaking my turn it's my turn i said i love her but you know i was that doesn't make it any better give it back to me please okay so i've been a schoolteacher for nearly a decade here in new york city okay if i came first day of school starting on september 13th kids come in school and say hey guys all of you passed you you you all you pass you guys are good what would happen to the motivation of this is a rhetorical question what would happen to the motivational level of the children would they stay determined would they continue to strive to become better will they continue to strive to improve their grades and be like i'm chilling it's like the last days of school when the semester is over last semester or when it's the last marking period or the last week of school it's chill it's fun if teacher comes to teach you they'll go we're actually going to learn no because when you don't know but you do all the right things so if a kid came to me mr sq i don't know if i'm going to pass i said listen if you come up you show up every single day you get your homework done you do your classroom i promise you you will be fine yes but you have that hope and fear that it may happen may not that's what keeps you on the edge and that's what keeps you striving and motivated if that can knew that he is good no matter what that kid would not work he would not be motivated to do anything so as a muslim i bow my head five times five times more than five times a day five times a day daily in prayer i break my sleep to worship allah god the father almighty the god of jesus peace and blessing bottom abraham the same god i break my sleep for him why because i want to show that i am willing to do and whatever it takes physically whatever with my heart everything to pray to him and i will seek my forgiveness directly through god i will bow my head i don't need to confess my sins i don't need to testify all i need to be is sincere when i bow my head to allah and say allah i've wronged myself don't move is that not good no so if you are doing that if you are bowing your head and being sincere to god god will forgive you because god is the most merciful what pleasure what goodness does god get from throwing us in the hellfire he does not want to do that as muslims he does not want to do that we believe that god loves you more than your mother will love you and on that day on the day of judgment even your mother will even your mother would leave you or abandon you on the day of judge and the point i'm trying to make is this if we're saying that i know for certain i'm going to go to heaven well that doesn't mean i'm going to work harder there's certain things that is in meaning in the unseen knowledge the same way when jesus was asked what is the when is the day of judgment and he said that i don't know the father is the only one with that knowledge well if jesus was god in flesh or god in spirit however i'm sure you'll answer this he should have known everything because god knows everything he didn't know the answer to that same thing happened when he went to the tree of the fake and he wanted to eat something and he cursed the tree because the fig there was no fruit over there you know that better than i do he did not have all information because he is not god nor did he ever claim to be god god cannot bear children not because god can't it's because it goes against god's nature god doesn't do things like that it doesn't befit god to bear children to have sons and everything like that if you turn to god alone accept all the prophets of allah and you bear witness that the quran is one of the testaments it is one of the books that were revealed in a series of prophets and books and is the final book in its full completion that is what we believe enters into paradise there is no other way except through god's mercy and his forgiveness thank you thank you appreciate you alex he said a lot of things man but the fact remains you don't know that you're going to heaven or not i do know i do know that it's up to god's mercy it's god's mercy

for our needs Hallelujah Lord thank you for leading the way in our lives hallelujah thank you for for uh connecting us to our destination thank you for connecting us to people that that will help push forth the destination towards the destination oh Lord God the ones who will jump over into the vehicle that you create Lord God hallelujah and and be a part of the movement of you so that we glorify you and we honor you in every single thing that we do Hallelujah may I the production of our hands O Lord May that those Productions glorify you may whatever we say out of our mouths glorify you may our thoughts glorify you may our heart Glory are you may you have a resting place in our hearts Lord God hallelujah every single person who says that they believe in you Lord God may they actually do a work for you Hallelujah may they move into things of you Lord God hallelujah may they look like you resemble you made a may they step in and pray for other people oh Lord may they call upon your name in the times of trouble oh Lord may they glorify your name Hallelujah in the times of greatness and shortness oh Lord may they consistently move in your grace hallelujah we're just so grateful oh Lord to have you Hallelujah we know that you are the beacon of light in our lives we know that you are the truth we know Hallelujah where to find the truth we know Hallelujah where our resting place is and that's in you Jesus Hallelujah for you give us rest to our souls hallelujah hallelujah and that's what we're seeking today praise God for you said to come on here and there's demonic persuasion happening in the lives of your people praise God and to cancel it Hallelujah because this is keeping people from resting praise God this is keeping people from moving forward praise God hallelujah but today these Persuasions these demonic evil Wicked Persuasions will be canceled in the mighty name of Jesus Hallelujah and we thank you for that order in Jesus mighty name amen praise God hallelujah hallelujah I'm telling you right now God is so good we're gonna go ahead and move into this word praise God hallelujah so we're moving into Acts Acts chapter six and this is uh looking at Stephen praise God hallelujah hallelujah this is looking at Stephen praise God and this is during the time where Stephen has the grace of of the Lord praise God he's performing Mighty powers in the Lord praise God hallelujah great wonders praise God Thank You O Lord he's producing um great wonders and signs among the people praise God and so here we're looking at this right here because there's persuasion there's persuasion that's happening um when it comes to um Stephen and with this this is a demonic persuasion okay so we're getting ready to peel back the layers of why this is the money okay so let's move forward to the uh verse where it says Hallelujah verse 10. but they could not stand up against the wisdom the spirit gave him as he spoke uh Stephen had wisdom that God had given him it's the spirit of God hallelujah and the people praise God the ones who call themselves praise God freed men these are members of the synagogue that they cannot stand up against Stephen they cannot stand up against the spirit that is in Stephen Hallelujah moving Stephen praise God hallelujah hovering over Stephen praise God hallelujah they could not come up against it Hallelujah do you understand praise God hallelujah because this Spirit gave him as he spoke let me say that again this Spirit gave him as he spoke now when you are centered in Christ Jesus praise God the spirit will give you as you speak many of you have experiences and Witnesses praise God you could be in a situation and the Lord is speaking to you therefore the Lord is giving you exactly what you should say the holy spirit is sharing with you exactly what you should say and you're saying exactly that you're moving in exactly that praise God hallelujah and this is how God works because when it comes to his children he is not going to leave us boy do you understand he's not going to forsake us praise God he is going to fulfill his word he's going to fulfill us praise God who are doing his will Hallelujah and I'm telling you this is the the good news this is the goodness of God because in him fulfilling his will he is glorified praise God because it is by him and for him Hallelujah we need to understand that praise God many people are walking in places because they have chosen to walk into those places themselves they have appointed themselves or another man has appointed them to a position praise God God never called him to the position Hallelujah but Stephen who hath the spirit of God with him praise God hallelujah was speaking and the spirit gave unto him what he was to speak and the free man praise God the ones from the synagogue who was bringing forth and who would bring forth in this next verse uh demonic persuasion again wisdom praise God could not stand up against the spirit that was with Stephen so what do they do well verse 11 says then they secretly persuaded some men to say we have heard Stephen speak Blasphemous words against Moses and against God why did they come up with that praise God because they knew during this time praise God hallelujah people cared they they focused on the laws of Moses praise God hallelujah and they focused on God and they they were serious about the laws of Moses praise God Moses Hallelujah who they looked to war and God hallelujah hallelujah I'm telling you this right now so a lot of times evil people the ones who are being used by Wicked Spirits they will come after you praise God in the same area in which you are pushing out meaning praise God Hallelujah the Lord could call you to be Hallelujah and apostle but then you'll have those same people praise God hallelujah who understand the apostolic praise God and they will come with you come to you with book sense while you are standing in the spirit of God since praise God hallelujah Hallelujah it doesn't make what they're saying out of the book wrong but the accusation that the person is not of God is wrong Hallelujah because even though they are focusing on what the book is saying praise God Moses laws and God hallelujah which means that they can examine the doctrine and know for sure praise God they still come up with a lot against Stephen Hallelujah because Stephen is actually walking in the spirit of God Stephen is actually being moved by the spirit of God this is something that they were not quite understanding for one they did not know how he was moving in Excellency as he was for example have they truly known and believed the Bible in which they read praise God they would have known the spirit that that was whipped they would have known the spirit praise God hallelujah this is where many uh fail to understand the relationship with Jesus Christ they read the book praise God Hallelujah the Holy Bible but they don't experience a relationship and that was the difference praise God Stephen had a relationship with God Stephen had a relationship praise God hallelujah and when you're in a relationship you are closer than a person Hallelujah you're closer to God than a person who is just reading the Bible who is a scholar of words praise God hallelujah and the Lord is sharing today that many people are going through demonic persuasion because people are looking at you man of God woman of God walking with the spirit of God the spirit of God dwells in you praise God which is the holy spirit Hallelujah and they see that light that's shining from you and they cannot contend with the spirit that is with you praise God they cannot contend with this Excellency praise God they cannot continue on what's coming out of your mouth praise God they cannot contend with the gifts that the Holy Spirit has releasing you praise God hallelujah they can't contend with us so what do they do Hallelujah they go and Whisper praise God demonic persuasion Hallelujah so in verse 11 what did they persuade some men to do to say not even to do to say out of their mouths praise God it was a confession y'all a confession Hallelujah and we know that when we confess with our lips praise God hallelujah that is a powerful thing unto the Lord when we are confessing the truth the truth is I shut us set us free praise God the truth shall set us free praise God hallelujah and so what did they say they said we have heard Stephen speak Blasphemous words against Moses and against God this is persuaded to say see some people who are around you who seems like they are for you are are ones who are being persuaded to say something negative against you Hallelujah we don't know the exchange of how they were persuaded a lot of times people are persuaded and they're giving a little money praise God and they'll go say whatever against you sometimes people are persuaded because it's something that they've always wanted or something that they need to praise God and because the time has come where someone could utilize a person as a tool a negative tool against another person praise God hallelujah they will um take any single thing that is uh sitting their way praising God that is given to them or they think that they really wanted they will receive it praise God and they lie against you Hallelujah just as they lied against Stephen because this was the man of God who's the spirit of God was with in Excellency Hallelujah for he had wisdom the grace of the Lord praise God hallelujah verse 12 reads so they stirred up the people and the elders and teachers of the law so who stirred him up first of all the freedmen praise God hallelujah sent forth this persuasion message praise God so they went and whispered about Stephen praise God hallelujah because this was this happened in secret a lot of the attacks that are coming up against you praise God hallelujah they're happening in secret Hallelujah they're happening in secret praise God people are having um the Monica attacks at night praise God people are having um uh weird crazy dreams praise God hallelujah all kinds of things happening in Dreams they're eating in Dreams they're uh fornicating and drinks they're doing all kinds of craziness and dreams and this is the setup of the enemy because the dream realm the spiritual realm it is real y'all praise God and it will manifest over trouble into your natural Rhythm Hallelujah this Physical Realm that we're in and unless you cancel these assignments of the enemy unless you identify and recognize praise God a dream is just a dream that's a lie praise God hallelujah when you recognize that's not the truth praise God and you will not allow a demonic Spirit to set up the the trajectory of your life you will not let an evil person speak wickedness over your life you will not let the plots of the enemy come to fruition in your life you will stand up praise God and you will open your mouth praise God and it won't be a confession Hallelujah of lies that we're going against Stephen praise God but this this will be a confession of Truth praise God unto the Lord hallelujah and cancellation will come forth because you will decree and declare a thing praise God hallelujah and you will cancel a thing praise God against your life against your children's life against your marriage against your relationship praise God you will cancel it in the mighty name of Jesus because you know who you are in the body of Christ and what you say praise God the Lord in Christ's ear Hallelujah and when he inquires he's ear to you praise God that's an actual hearing Hallelujah when he in Christ's ear what is he doing he's listening praise God from the Judgment seat Hallelujah and when he hears your words praise God it is an official hearing he is hearing what you are putting forth because there are already accusations against you praise God listen to what I'm saying there are already accusations against you praise God no one can live in this world accusation free unless they are Jesus Christ who already did a praise God hallelujah so we are living in a world where there are accusations that are going to come up because the enemy wants access to you the enemy wants access to your fruit not to eat other fruit praise God hallelujah but literally to demolishes so that you have nothing uh for generations to come so you have nothing to pass over to your children you have nothing to pass over to your family you have nothing that you could leave behind praise God hallelujah as legendary wealth praise God hallelujah yeah I'm telling you taking your Royal Crown literally away from you because anything that is dead praise God hallelujah is evidence of something not living do you understand praise God and when the enemy comes in as dead weight when the enemy comes in as a lack of light when the enemy comes in as deception praise God the whole focus is to bring filth to bring blemish Hallelujah to your fruit and praise God to kill it to destroy Hallelujah to make the area praise God the heart area Hallelujah this fertile land that's in your heart to look and resemble just like them praise God hallelujah you'll start to find out one at one point praise God you are the neatest person Hallelujah every single thing in your order because God is a god of order right you're following the Lord and you I mean your life praise God you can refresh air everything seems like it's going right and then all of a sudden you let a person in praise God all of a sudden hallelujah hallelujah you let a person in praise God hallelujah and when you let the person in hallelujah what happens hallelujah praise God praise God hallelujah that person begins to speak into your life try to give you advice Hallelujah and you absorb that and then your atmosphere changes Your Atmosphere changes Hallelujah I'm telling you this right now Hallelujah and then you start to see this order all around you this is the evidence praise God hallelujah of the spirit that is attacking you because God is a god of order but the evil spirits that come in unclean praise God hallelujah they will come in to make the environment unclean to make the atmosphere unclean they will want the atmosphere in the environment to look just like them praise God hallelujah and that's how they move in the mighty name of Jesus praise God hallelujah I'm telling you right now God is so good Hallelujah he is praise God hallelujah he is hallelujah the one who makes all things possible praise God let me share this with you Hallelujah the Lord said to come on here praise God hallelujah and share with you the attack of the enemy praise God he said that this comes from an ancient time Hallelujah this comes from an ancient time praise God hallelujah and when we move into Stephen hallelujah what Stephen did praise God I've asked Hallelujah it says that the people uh in the elders were stirred up praise God by the men that were sought out at whose uh by The Men Who were sought after by the freedmen from the synagogue Hallelujah that they stirred these people up and They seized Stephen they ceased them praise God hallelujah they're binding Stephen why because he was speaking the truth of God Hallelujah and they and he was brought they brought him before the Sanhedrin and they produce false Witnesses who testified let me tell you something praise God all of this is legal praise God when the Lord released me to come on here and do a legal teaching with legal terminology praise God I'm going to do just that so that you can understand the realm of the spirit and how it works a lot of people think they know the navigation of the spirit and a lot of especially new Christians they come in and they're praying praise God and they're doing the best they can Hallelujah but they're seeing that things aren't breaking praise God they're saying that the Demonic attacks that are coming against them praise God hallelujah it's not break and praise God they're still suffering they're still being tormented do you understand praise God hallelujah they don't realize doors are still open because they're still allowing certain family members to allow certain friends um allowing a certain uh co-workers to have access to them and they don't understand why praise God these demonic attacks are not uh ceasing praise God hallelujah I'm sharing this today with you praise God because the holy spirit is bringing it up some of you are wondering this Hallelujah and it is because you don't understand the realm of the spirit Hallelujah why do people suffer why do people uh uh uh uh um literally people suffer because of a lack of knowledge people die because of a lack of knowledge do you understand praise God the Lord is sharing with us praise God he is given prophets and teachers and apostles praise God he's given evangelists Hallelujah those who are uh sitting with the Lord praise God hallelujah he's given the fivefold to you praise God he's even giving you Hallelujah if you're not a part of the faithful Ministry he's giving you a uh spiritual handbook praise God which is called the Bible for you to read and draw in closer to it praise God so that you can get to know God hallelujah hallelujah and it says that they produce false Witnesses who testified this fellow never stops speaking against the holy place in against the law um Hallelujah the holy place in against the law these are the accusations that he has spoken Blasphemous words against Moses against God they go up and they say oh he never stops speaking against the holy Place against the law for we have heard him say praise God hallelujah you know that here say stuff this ain't nothing but gossip y'all praise God secret gossip that are lies because it was conjured from a place of the sea by the free men from the synagogue who did not uh discern the spirit that was with Stephen praise God hallelujah and what it says here is that for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the Customs Moses handed down to us praise God hallelujah I'm telling you right now the wicked they are coming to kill steal and destroy what the spirit of God is doing in you people's like to say that they love Excellency praise God hallelujah but when they see Excellency they don't understand it when they try to come up against you praise God hallelujah they can't they don't understand it because they have a wicked heart a deceptive heart praise God hallelujah and they don't believe anything that's true praise God Stephen did wonders Hallelujah he was doing the works of the Lord praise God I'm telling you people were witnessing The Works of Stephen A righteous man praise God and just as they did with Jesus Christ who came and demonstrated great miracle signs of Wonders praise God people still hated him Hallelujah no matter what he did no matter who he healed praise God there were still ones who wanted to persecute him who wanted to see him destroy who wanted to see him crucified and it's no different from Steve and praise God hallelujah that they wanted to see Stephen crucified they wanted to see Stephen praise that during this time he was stoned praise God right so they wanted to see him dead okay they wanted to see him and so they pulled him out and they literally stoned Stephen and in the end Stephen said unto Jesus hallelujah hallelujah who was looking down from an open Heaven praise God watching it all unfold praise God hallelujah he said Hallelujah for Jesus Christ hallelujah our Lord and savior Our God Hallelujah to not count this against him praise God hallelujah don't count this sin against them Hallelujah that was the heart of a righteous man still praying for his enemies praise God because the Bible says that we are to love our enemies praise God hallelujah that means that we are to pray for our enemies praise God those who are coming up to persecute us pray for him because they know not what they do Hallelujah for God is a good god and were you to be praised in the mighty name of Jesus and so the plot of the enemy will be canceled today over your life I'm telling you right now those who have been going in secret talking about you praise God those who have been going in secret trying to dismantle what God has for your life praise God those who have been returning to get people to come up against you you trying to get gossip stirred up trying to get people hallelujah who

true word of God they don't want to hear it Hallelujah and they want the people to stay bound they want to be the ones praise God that God is using Hallelujah this is what it really is they really want to be the chosen hallelujah hallelujah that the devil hates you because he was rejected he was no longer chosen Hallelujah he was no longer selected he he was rejected Hallelujah therefore he has come with false intent to get you and to persuade you into things praise God that are not of God that are defiled Hallelujah and have you to to to release yourself from the very will of God no longer

Boolean Searching
While you can search for academic sources just by throwing keywords into a search box and hoping for the best, a little planning can help you craft a more efficient, effective search that will provide much more relevant results and save you from wading through long lists of marginal titles. A particularly valuable search technique is Boolean searching. See our Topics and Keywords videos for more search techniques like phrase searching and truncation. Boolean searching uses three special terms or operators: AND, OR, and NOT. A typical research question might be phrased, How do images in the media cause eating disorders in women and teenage girls? Break down the question into a list of important words and phrases. Concept: Mass media, eating disorders, girls Synonyms: Movies, television, magazines, anorexia, bulimia, females, women Boolean AND narrows a search to those items containing both terms as represented by the darkest area in this diagram. The results list would consist of only items which have both terms: Items which mention only body image will not be displayed, nor will items which mention only eating disorders without reference to body image. You can combine multiple words and phrases in a boolean search. For example: advertising AND body image AND eating disorders AND teenage girls The more words you combine with boolean AND, the fewer results you will get, because each result must have all of the keywords listed. If you don’t get many - or any - results, try removing one concept. Boolean OR broadens a search by looking for items containing at least one of the terms. This search would result in items about anorexia, items about eating disorders, and items about both anorexia and eating disorders. Use OR if you have synonyms or words with various spellings. Examples are gangster or gangsta genetically modified foods or GMO or genetically modified organisms or frankenfoods pets or dogs or cats or birds or reptiles teenage or adolescent Boolean NOT excludes terms from a search. It can be used to exclude different meanings of the same word, as in this diagram. It can also be used to exclude different aspects of your topic, for example, fish not freshwater. Use NOT with great care. It may exclude results that have information on your topic. For example, if an article is mostly about saltwater fish but includes the sentence, This paper will not discuss freshwater fish. A boolean NOT search will not show this result even though it is all about saltwater fish because the word freshwater appears once. You can combine your string of AND keywords and OR keywords into one search string, like this: advertising AND body image AND teenage girls AND anorexia OR bulimia Just remember if you don’t get enough results you’ll want to remove an AND word. Frustrating as it might sometimes be, academic research is really a trial-and-error process try something and see what you get, adjust it a little and try again! Here’s another look at our original question and the concepts and synonyms we chose along with a new question How does science fiction portray the issues of gender and race? Pause this video for a moment and list the concepts and synonyms you might use as keywords for this new research question. Does your list look something like this? Concept: Science fiction, gender, race Synonyms: sci fi, sexism, feminism, masculinity, ethnicity, minority Now think about combining your search terms into a more effective search. Pause this video for a moment and decide what keywords you want to combine with AND. Did you create a search like this? Science fiction and gender and race Next consider your list of synonyms to join with OR. Pause this video for a moment and figure out how to combine those. Does your list look like this? Science fiction or sci fi, gender or sexism or feminism or masculinity race or ethnicity or minority Now put those two together in one search. Does your search look like this? science fiction or sci fi and gender or sexism or feminism or masculinity and race or ethnicity or minority Don’t worry if you can’t think of many synonyms - you can always consult a thesaurus for ideas. The databases will often suggest alternatives either in the search box or in the subject headings, but it will be up to you to select the terms and combine them into a meaningful search. Boolean searching takes some practice, but once learned it can take your searching to a whole new level. If you have questions, Ask-a-Librarian at mookini@hawaii.edu

Fasci di Combattimento | Wikipedia audio article
the Italian fasciae of combat Italian fasciae Italian DD combi Demento fic until 1919 called fasci of revolutionary action Italian fashion a sione revolution area far was an Italian fashion or ghen ization created by Benito Mussolini in 1914 topic history you topic foundation and early years it was founded as a merger of two other movements the fasci dossier on the International lista and a previous group he started called the fasciotomy da Sione revolution area in 1915 members of the fasci began to officially refer to themselves as fascists it denounced Marxism but asserted that it supported socialism using the famous quote by French socialists Louis Auguste Blanqui he who has iron has Bread on the title page of its newspaper ilpo Paulo d'Italia the fasci was Republican and Mussolini spoke of his desire that the war would perhaps see a few more crowns fall to pieces and in April 1915 Mussolini accused Italy's King Victor Emmanuel the third of being a pro German Philistine and accusing him of being Thorin and for allegedly being a neutralist topic consolidation due to Mussolini's support of Italian intervention in the then ongoing world war 1 he received financial support from ansaldo an armaments firm and other companies in 1917 mussolini was allegedly supported by the british Directorate of military intelligence with Mussolini supposedly being paid a 100 pounds weekly wage this help is said to have been authorized by Sir Samuel hor however regardless of the financial support he accepted for his pro interventionist stance Mussolini's socialist critics noted that Mussolini was free to write whatever he wished in his newspaper ill Popolo d'Italia without prior sanctioning by his financial backers the first meeting of the fasci tascioni revolution area was held on the 24th of January 1915 at the meeting Mussolini declared that it was necessary for Europe to resolve its national problems including national borders of Italy and elsewhere for the ideals of justice and liberty for which oppressed peoples must acquire the right to belong to those national communities from which they descended amidst discussion on the question of irredentism Mussolini noted from the proceedings of the members that the difficult question of irredentism was posed and resolved in the ambit of ideals of socialism and Liberty which do not however exclude the safeguarding of a positive national interest in March 1915 Mussolini declared the movements irredentist stance towards Trieste in which he stated that Trieste must be and will be Italian through war against the Austrians and if necessary against the Slavs in an article on the 6th of April 1915 Mussolini addressed the movements irredentist stance towards Dalmatia arguing that Italy should not end X all of Dalmatia because claims that it had a majority of Italian speakers was not a good enough reason to claim exclusive possession of all of Dalmatia it did support Italy annexing a vast section of Dalmatia including its entire archipelago the fasci received ideological influence from other members than Mussolini such as presently nee who had previously been a member of the Italian nationalist Association presently was impressed by Mussolini and in late 1914 join del Popolo d'Italia to write for it on the 11th of April 1915 during an interventionist demonstration that was confronted by neutralist sy members Italian state police killed one man an electrician named in a chant Temar cara both interventionists and Neutra lists were outraged by the man's death the fasci da C&E revolution area who by then referred to themselves as fascists took part in a joint neutralist interventionist work stoppage topic renamed in last times on the 23rd of March 1919 the fasci da sione revolution area was renamed in fasci italiana combi Demento in 1919 the Treaty of Versailles resulted in Italy obtaining southern Tirol Trentino Austria and Trieste from Austria however Italy also wanted fiume in the region of Dalmatia on the Adriatic coast hence they felt treated unfairly in March 1919 Mussolini set up the fasci de combate Amenti the fighting group which galvanized the support of the disgruntled unemployed war veterans the our ditty the black shirts from the Italian commandos were angry about the problems in Italy Mussolini sympathized with them claiming he shared their war experiences hence they joined the fasci eventually becoming the MV SN in 1921 this fashio would be transformed into the national fascist party Italian party tone accion Olli fascista P&F Mussolini combined ideologies from a few different political parties he started his political life as a socialist eventually editor of the socialist magazine of Von D but was expelled when he supported intervention in World War one he then started a group called the fash OD Combat amento League of combat which at first didn't gain much popularity in 1919 a three party government was formed leaning toward a democratic side of government national fascist party topic ideology the fasci was strongly based on Mazzini and politics such as following Mazzini x' denouncement of irreligious non mystic class conflict based socialism and in particular Mazzini x' theme of mobilizing the masses based on faith rather than materialism in march 1915 mussolini described Mazzini and other italian Patriots as having awoken Italians in resurgent oh-hoo up to then had been a sleeping people mussolini like Mazzini accused conventional socialists for being dogmatic and in december 1914 had criticized the Italian Socialist Party side for their association with Marxism that Mussolini declared had become obsolete and made a list of socialist figures ranging from the top of admirable socialist figures like Mazzini proudhon bakunin Fourier and Saint Simon at the top to Marx at the bottom he said that he and other Italian interventionist socialists sought to repudiate Marx and return to Mazzini this perception of Mazzini by mussolini was influenced by Mussolini's idealization of philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche's ubermensch and his idealization of revolutionary syndicalist George Sorel in a 1909 review of Shirelles works mussolini indicated that he became a syndicalist when Sorrell said we syndicalists topic electoral results equals equals equals Italian Parliament

Impacts of Canadian hydropower on Indigenous communities in Canada and on Maine’s environment
um our effort with the north american mega dam resistance alliance also known as namra for a few years um we have uh been doing work to try to persuade the um northeast uh governors and eastern canadian premiers to at least listen to our message and um did so that again yesterday um over the last three years we have gone to their meetings um either yesterday by zoom or um by um outside the meeting hall we have not been invited in though we have requested to do that many times um so we're trying to you know get information out to everyone about why we are opposing the um this um cmp transmission line and um and why is particularly canadian hydro is not the answer to climate um so we have a roster of speakers tonight um meg sheehan from who's the coordinator of namra and then we'll be hearing from amy gould and we will be hearing from steve brooks who's a registered main guide amy gould is an inuk member community member from labrador and um so i'm just happy to have all three of them and thank them very much they will introduce they will be introduced by meg sheehan um as a matter of protocol we will take questions in the chat box um and uh it so please put them in the chat box as you're going along there will be time for questions and answers in the end thank you so much for joining us and let me introduce you to meg sheehan meg is a coordinator of um as it says here she's a coordinator of north american mega dam resistance alliance and a nikkei corridor mod and the corridor moderator for tonight uh thank you so much meg and let me turn it over to you thanks becky and thank you everyone for the opportunity to speak tonight about hydro quebec and the dams in eastern canada and where this electricity is coming from and the impacts on people and the environment in canada so namra is an ad hoc alliance of groups and individuals our mission is to protect rivers and their communities by resisting mega dams and their transmission corridors so i'll be talking about canadian hydropower focusing on eastern canada but the story is pretty much the same across the country over the last 100 years canadian hydropower has destroyed hundreds of thousands of square miles of land and river systems destroying river ecology biodiversity water quality altering natural river flows causing erosion and flooding that continues to this day as a result of the operation of the dams there are artificial massive artificial reservoirs behind the dams that operate like storage batteries holding back water and causing its temperature to rise until distant metropolitan areas need to turn on the lights the dams trap sediment that would otherwise flow to the ocean thereby negatively impacting fisheries and undermining the ocean's ability to store carbon dams are a safety hazard to those living downstream the flooding and flow our alterations of the river systems makes it impossible for indigenous communities and people who have followed traditional fishing hunting and gathering livelihoods and trapping over millennia it prevents them from being able to do this and causing causes and food insecurity as you will hear from amy norman canadian mega dams poison the environment and wild foods with methylmercury ironically canada is one of the most water-rich countries in the world but many of the indigenous communities living near these dams have no clean water due to the degraded nature of the river systems the hydroelectricity that hydroquebec and nalcor energy its sister corporation in the province of newfoundland and labrador embody canada's legacy of colonialism state-sponsored violence against people and nature racism and discrimination under these policies most of hydro quebec's fast hydropower empire has been built on the ancestral lands of aboriginal people without the consent of the people who use those lands for millennia they were built without environmental impact statements and the largest dams that were built back then in the 1970s are still in use today and part of the export supply that hydro quebec is trying to sell as clean green and renewable it is anything but it's a climate and humanitarian disaster next slide please just to give you a sense of the scale of what we're talking about the vast areas that i'm talking about are in sub-arctic regions of northern uh east northeast canada you can see the distances um on the left hand side you can see james bay that's where one of hydro quebec's largest dams is located that was built in the 1970s these transmission corridors go 1200 miles down to boston and new york over to the right further east you can see the churchill falls dam that was built also in the 1970s that is a massive dam that has a reservoir that's the size of the country of ireland next slide hydroquebec operates a system of 63 mega dams located throughout the country one of them is not shown on this map but it's located on the border of quebec and labrador that's again the upper churchill dam and that's relevant because i'll be talking about in a few minutes tonight i want to focus on what has been happening the last few months with regard to aboriginal resistance to the dams that are being used as an export supply for hydroquebec and that you know this is the electricity that's being called clean and green and renewable several of our prior webinars have focused on why this is dirty energy why it is not a climate solution how two of hydro quebec's largest dams that are still in use today 40 years later have greenhouse gas emissions on par with fossil fuels so i won't go into that but i really wanted to focus on what is happening with some of the smaller communities whose lands were stolen for this hydroelectricity so i'll be talking about aboriginal people that includes first nations which are not all indigenous people in canada are part of a first nation some are sovereign nations there are also metis or mixed canadian and or subtler and indigenous people and inuit these people are speaking out against the exports of hydropower stolen from their lands by hydro quebec report after report describes the environmental racism connected with the hydropower development across canada the last 100 years recent letters and submittals from indigenous community members to u.s officials calls this systemic racism discrimination and cultural genocide and i want to point out that i'm not trying to speak this evening for indigenous communities about the ones that i'm going to talk about briefly those folks were invited to participate in this conversation but most of them are um do not speak english as a first language nor they do they speak french they speak their indigenous languages they live in remote areas most mostly along the north shore of the saint lawrence river which you can see here where this dam cluster is north east of montreal so first of all um we have the innovation of labrador in maine they submitted comments to the maine department of environmental protection they are the groups that are impacted by the upper churchill falls dam it's the 10th largest hydroelectric generating facility in the world that's the one that has a reservoir the size of ireland amy norman our speaker here tonight lives downstream when the second dam has been built muskrat falls the interwove labrador have submitted a declaration from their tribal chief describing the fact that one six of hydro quebec's electricity supply that it's exporting to the us today is clean and green is unluck unlawfully located on their lands the penobscot tribe of maine joined them in july and requesting that the u.s army corps of engineers require an environmental impact statement for the new england clean energy connect corridor citing two reasons first was the impact on the main environment which harms lands and fisheries but also because of the second second reason being the significant impacts on the indonesian and labrador the this declaration and the supporting um information from the innovation is in our resource folder uh associated with this webinar and it's quite devastating there are photographs there that describe the manner in which the hydro dam operations continue to erode cultural sites of the indonesian including washing away the ancestral graves of people the second significant development next slide sorry um okay i will um the verge here but i want to acknowledge also the cree and the inuit this is a book and i would highly recommend reading strangers devour the land by boyce richardson if you would like to get a sense of what this vast primeval land looked like before hydro come back began its um hydropower development in the 1950s it talks about how people were living off the land and actually had no idea that this was going to be happening and these are some of the people today who um are trying to seek have their voices heard the book is primarily focused on the cree of the more western part of quebec province the folks i'm talking about tonight are located more to the east as i said on the north shore so next slide um three first nations from quebec in august of 2020 wrote to the u.s army corps of engineers that would be the um way motashi of academic first nation the motashi whoops the inu first nation of pessimi and the aneesh mabek uh first nation of pico john's so these are folks are located as i mentioned on the north shore of the saint lawrence river they're all based in quebec they have urgently requested that the army corps denied the new england clean energy connect application for the clean water act permit they have talked they talk in their submittals about how the communities were dispossessed of the lands by the government of quebec and hydroquebec with the consent of the government of canada and they outline how there are 21 production structures some 10 000 kilometers 3 800 square miles of reservoirs tens of thousands of kilometers of transmission and distribution lines and new roads that were illegally installed on their traditional territories these infrastructures are still operated by hydroquebec in violation of rights recognized by the constitutional act of 1982 and the 1996 ruling of the supreme court of canada so they are saying that they will not stand by in silence while hybrid quebec financially benefits from their heritage and 33 of the 63 production facilities of hydro quebec are built on their traditional lands without consultation and without compensation in other words hydroquebec is trying to sell to the united states stolen goods the scale of the profits that are going directly to quebec is astounding when these communities as they describe it they live in impoverished conditions with some of the lowest standard standards of living in the world so hydro quebec makes two billion dollars a year of profits that are funneled directly to the province of quebec to support the central government of the province that's because as you may know hydro quebec is a crown corporation it basically is the government of quebec it doles out benefits to indigenous people in other words reaping these profits off of the stolen land and then turning around and giving out uh token benefits to the communities as far as the profits that will stem from the new england and clean energy connect hydro quebec will make nearly 500 million in the first year send it selling electricity via the cmp in maine it will make 12.4 billion over 20 years there's a similar quarter going through new york and so you could double that number a van grid the parent of cmp will make 60 million a year in profits over 20 years for a total of 2.9 billion to operate cmp so that's the social and economic injustice uh that namra is concerned about and that is why for the last two years as becky mentioned we tried to bring these frontline voices to the conference of northeast governors and eastern canadian premiers because hydroqueback is there promoting its electricity as clean and green and trying to win political support for these two transmission corridors that are now currently active the one and proposed the cmp through maine and the new york corridor and we uh firmly believe that you can go ahead and flip through the slides as i'm talking but um firmly believe that this electricity has no place in a clean new deal and it really is not clean green um and you will hear more about that here's our petition to uh the governors and premiers and we had over 500 uh signatures on that petition from community members who live with the impacts of this hydropower production day-to-day so thank you and i will turn it over to amy norman um she will be talking to us about her experience as an indigenous woman and community member in labrador that was in who's impacted by that second dam on the churchill or grand river thank you bailey hi hi my name is amy norman i'm an aquaman born and raised in happy valley goose bay labrador um so way to the northeast um i'm gonna be chatting with you a bit about what my community has been through um downstream of these kind of giant megadams and kind of what that holds for the future so i'm inok so my family and i are inuit um the circumpolar indigenous people we yeah we're from labrador i was born and raised here my mom's family is from newfoundland my dad's side of the family is from northwest river and named in nunasyawut i've been with a group called the labrador land protectors since about 2016 that was kind of when the resistance movement to the to this mega dam really kind of boiled over [Music] and the reason for that with this large study that was done in partnership between the new national government so that's our inuit self-government with harvard university their school of public health and they looked at the issue of methylmercury contamination caused by this dam so methylmercury it's a harmful neurotoxin and it can cause what's also known as minima disease so it can cause all kinds of issues from numbness in your hands and feet developmental disorders and children memory issues issues with hearing and speech so it's really really this horrific thing if you have too much methylmercury exposure and so mercury naturally occurs in all vegetation and when the vegetation is submerged in water that's when it converts to the harmful methyl mercury form um and this is particularly harmful to us as inuit because our traditional diets um it's very fatty very rich in fat and methylmercury like as a molecule it builds and builds and builds so bio accumulates in fat so you might not have you know very high levels in the water but as you know the plankton and the tiny critters get eaten by the fish and then the larger fish eat those fish and the seals eat those fish and we eat those seals and we are getting all of that nursery from like every level um to the point where the levels are up to 10 million times higher in uh fish and marine mammals like seals than the water that they live in so you know as anyway we're often called feel people that's who we are we um you know we have for millennia been you know hunters gatherers but especially on the coast of labrador we really rely on fuel for everything it's um you know not just a a source of like rich healthy food it gets all of our vitamins and minerals like we don't have as that much vegetation in the arctic but you know we can still get like all of our vitamin c from steel liver and stuff like that right and it's our clothing we use the oil for our lamps like it's long been you know this source of everything um it's essential to who we are and to have something in our backyard that you know but contaminating this it's it's severing you know our ties to not only rich healthy food but also to who we are as a people because it is such a spiritually important um connection uh so yeah we still rely on hunting and fishing and harvesting here's a picture of me and one of my nephews with some pretty teeny fish but it was a great day we got other ones later um and you know here in the north it's food prices are so like astronomically ridiculously high like it's it's hard to kind of understand um unless you like live it but you know you can't rely on the grocery store because it's so expensive and it's you know it's not as healthy it's not as good it's usually like pre-packaged kind of stuff it's not um it's not as good as what we can hunt and and what we can find you know on the land um so it's really devastating to have these food webs kind of poisoned like this um but yeah like i was saying it's not just the nutritional side it's really that cultural connection it's who you are you know as as a people it's your your practices your your you know traditions it's it's everything it's all you know interconnected so it's all very important stuff before the muskrat falls dam before the reservoir was impounded um inuit in my area of like melville it was already 2 to 2.5 times higher than the average canadian in terms of mercury levels this is because of decades of mercury buildup from the churchill falls reservoir so that was the older dam in the 70s that meg was referencing reservoir the size of ireland so even though it's 300 kilometers upstream from us we already start with a baseline higher than um you know the average canadian muskrat falls is estimated to further increase our mercury levels by 1500 1500 it's just so absurd but even more ridiculous is the fact that they're still you know trying to like push full steam ahead on this third dam on the same river you know this is only going to increase these levels even more this is going to push anyway into a critically dangerous level of mercury exposure and it's really really scary living in the shadow of that like it's i've seen elders cry like that it's so heartbreaking you know it's people people you rely on like you're they're usually the shoulder to cry on and then for them to be just like it's so upsetting it's so upsetting um i want to talk a bit about the over criminalization of land and water protectors at the height of the protest we'll say back in 2016 um you know there was dozens and dozens of people charged and arrested um so over the past four years i've counted over 70. it's kind of hard to keep track to be honest i've personally been charged and arrested twice we've had some of our elders sent to maximum security facilities over a thousand kilometers from home including when they sent human grandmothers to maximum security men's prisons in newfoundland it just breaks my heart because like it i just get so frustrated knowing like it's just justice after injustice after injustice to send a grandmother to a maximum security men's prison a three-hour flight away from their home we've also seen a young woman uh violently arrested in the middle of the night that was right at the beginning of all this um the cop who you know violently arrest her elated he later received an award a humanitarian award it's sometimes words just don't come to me because i get so frustrated that's one of them and we're still being dragged through the courts we're still being um you know targeted for just trying to protect our homeland from destruction um my charges personally were dropped so i'm very grateful for that but i still have to help pay off my legal fees and you know good lawyers are really expensive so there's a link there and we'll put it in the chat too if you have any kind of spare change you can pass along to our fundraiser page and help get some of these legal fees down it it's really eaten up a lot of our lives and it shouldn't have it shouldn't you know you shouldn't have to kind of like put your life on hold for four years just to to try and save your home some other impacts on our communities um you know the government of newfoundland and labrador they only consulted with one of the three different indigenous groups uh in the area so the indonesian you know they had their their consultations with but um the inuit of new nazi of it as well as nuna tuiva have never given a free prior informed consent this is something that's required um by the united nations declaration of the rights of indigenous people and you know because they kind of picked the government i mean the provincial government picked one group to talk to and not the other two it's it's so a lot of distrust between people and it it's kind of like you know festering and creating these hard feelings between indigenous groups when you know that's really not that's not serving anyone we need to work together to try and you know help each other out kind of thing um so yeah and and meanwhile you know we have these massive mega dams in our backyard these really long sorry my words are failing me a little bit here these really long um transmission corridors and they're bypassing all these communities on the south coast of labrador they're going so close but they don't connect to them at all and meanwhile these communities are still relying on dirty diesel energy they're using diesel generators it doesn't make any sense to me nothing about this project makes any sense nothing about hydra makes any sense the final point i wanted to bring up just because it's happening right now uh the indonesian holster annual elders gathering every year at gull island so go island is the proposed site for this third dam that they want to do um and ew from all over natasha noun journey here it's super important culturally it's a wonderful time i love seeing my friends there the pictures are lovely um so that's happening right now as we speak on gull island and that's where they want to put the dam so like i don't know all of these issues that we've seen at churchill falls and muskrat falls it's only going to get worse it's only going to be further magnified uh by this proposed dam at gull island and the one at gala island is like on a whole other scale you know muskrat balls is massive but it's only 824 megawatts the one that they're proposing is uh 22.50 megawatts so 2.7 times bigger 2.7 times more awful it's just this absurd idea that they want to even think about this after how devastating and destructive and like divisive this whole thing has been and it's tricky too because right now our well our former premier because we just got a new one like a week ago um but yeah the former premier of news and labrador has gone on the record recently just november of 2019 saying the biggest roadblock for the project has been getting electricity through quebec he says discussions are still very early but he believes quebec will begin to work with newfoundland and labrador towards making the project feasible there's a very long history with the church of falls dam but basically when they're talking about working together to make the project feasible they're talking about building gull island shipping the power down through quebec and into new england you know that's what that's what's really on the line and that's why that's where you come in that's why we do these kind of discussions to really talk about um what's happening on the other end of things and what are the impacts um on the other end of these transmission lines so you have an idea what it's not truly green it's not clean it's really harmful it's really frustrating and i thank you for listening i thank you for showing up and i look forward to hearing what everyone else has to say so enough of me i'm going to turn off screen sharing all right wonderful thank you amy meg uh you're up okay um thank you thank you so yes i'm sorry um i did want to point out that we have um another speaker tonight in addition who was to who was on the agenda we have john gonzalez and i um i think he would probably fit in great right here so steve if you wouldn't mind waiting for a few minutes that would be great john did you want to say a few words there we go okay can you hear me now uh tanzanina connipo make us many blessings uh thank you for having me uh uh here tonight so uh excuse me you know whether we're talking about uh bc hydro and the sightsee dam or manitoba hydro and all the generating stations along the nelson river and uh and hydroquebec these are provincial crown corporations uh whose policies go back to the racist doctrine of discovery this is where all their land claims come from and uh our people have been pushed onto zero point two percent of their land base uh you know the genocide continues and right now there is a termination framework going on in canada and uh and this is about cultural genocide so many of our people are saying that uh you know hydro has taken over where the indian act and residential schools have left off and there's a lot of layers and layers of trauma in these communities um these are already impoverished communities look our waters uh are undrinkable uh you know our wildlife cannot keep up with the fluctuation of the waters or people who've been navigating those waters for about thousands of years uh are now dodging debris as they're going along in their motorboats i thought i was going to get killed a couple of times but i was glad i had a good uh you know a good person running the boat but um you know people are hitting debris people are falling into the waters um you know thank you amy for so eloquently talking about the the methyl mercury uh poisoning that dangerous neurotoxin which accumulates in our in our food supply and um you know i think that it it's important to understand uh you know this is a this might be a lot for somebody who is just opposing corridors to chew on but i think what it's important to get a snapshot of the people that are most heavily impacted by these communities people you know who who have lived a certain way of life for thousands of years and immediately had their food supply wiped out immediately displaced uh immediately put on a fraction of their land and uh you know we right now you know both canada and the united states have a truth and reconciliation obligation to indigenous people um you know by way of the united nations declaration on the rights of indigenous people so i think this is something that needs to be taken before the global community i don't i don't think it's something that will be solved within trudeau's uh termination for uh framework um uh you know these the devastating effects on on the lands and on these uh carbon sequestering boreal forests are akin to uh you know the the tar sands and the vast mining operations in canada the most important thing is to realize is that people are dying you know you cut off the food supply uh you know and the sturgeon disappear and the moosa no more and uh you know these are communities where uh um you know food food supply food prices are just astronomical and uh you know there is a great lullaby of despair over these communities we have high incidences of uh teen suicide and uh you know so i don't know if i'm taking too much of our time uh i'll just i'll just end with saying uh you know we really we have to say no to this canadian hydro say no to the uh champlain hudson uh power express say no to the new england clean energy connect these are not clean these are not green they are contributing to the cultural genocide of indigenous people and the propaganda machine right now is telling you that this is clean and green they're getting subsidized as clean and green they're getting green bonds okay this will not bring us to net zero you know new york is trying to bring themselves to net zero uh you know by diminishing the for you know the the dirty natural frac gas that's over there they want to bring in the hydro and uh they're not addressing those most heavily impacted communities which are uh our indigenous communities uh you know all throughout turtle island and canada pimichikamak labrador uh bc you know this is uh this is uh we have a big problem here you know this is this is huge and i want to thank namra and everybody who's working so hard uh you know to elevate indigenous voices and uh so thank you thank you so much allies thank you so much john and um we'll have plenty of time for questions and answers at the end so we'll move on to our next speaker steve brooke who is from maine and we'll talk about the impacts of the quarter in maine and of course we're all one planet so whether it's harming rivers and wetlands and fisheries in maine or canada it's all a question and it's all a price of this canadian hydro so steve will introduce himself thank you very much let's start off with my first slide and i i'm going to talk in two parts on this program tonight i'm going to start by talking about the northeast energy connect corridor across maine and how it uh really is is a disaster ecologically within the maine i think it's fascinating to hear from the indigenous voices and how to understand that what's happening now is we're facing the same issues uh here in the united states as industry seeks to really set these programs going uh can you get that full slide up rather than the um the overview of it you'll have to get uh the powerpoint working because only a portion of it shows uh my point in the first slide is that that's the second slide we have to go back one slide and we need to get rid of that's much better thank you so there are two two images here the one on the right shows the the the mapping of the corridor that comes to bring hydro quebec power down into the lower main grid to be delivered to the boston market and and the map on the left talks about really an important 2015 assessment that shows in bright pink where the brook trout habitat is clean and it's really protected by the forest that surrounds it as it goes to blue and later to red it degrades and it degrades and it degrades and i i think it's really important to understand that when um ibedrola from spain and central maine power who are the same set this corridor up they intentionally put it into the wilds of maine thinking that there'd be nobody there to complain and and in fact they're really destroying the last of what's left of clean habitat for fisheries in our state of maine let's go to the next slide please the necec route the next slide please the necec route um crosses into an area of sub watersheds that is going to come up in the next set of slides and that there are sub-watersheds that that show a lot of detail of exactly where the fishery is i don't know who's working on the slides please can we please go to the next slide the slide over here anya are you having trouble yeah is it not forwarding slides no we're on slide number five now no we need to go to slide number two please no is that the right slide now we're not seeing it that's slide number one still we need to go to slide number two please there we go thank you very much and if it's possible to hit the same just the position of the the power of the map that goes across the state and over here in the area where the the corridor goes down and starts to go through it you're crossing a lot of these sub-watersheds where the brook trout population is so special uh the bright green and the and the lesser green are the areas that we're really concerned about protecting if we're going to protect the brook population here in maine let's go to the next slide please and as we go down into the area of the corridor on the next slide please sorry i'm just having some technical difficulties thank you very much as we go to the next slide what we're going to see is a detailed map that starts to show all of the detail of the watersheds that this corridor crosses and remember that this is not just a straight little line on the map this is actually a 300 foot wide corridor that's a quarter to the size of the new jersey turnpike through forested rural maine and the watershed that we're looking at here on the moose river there are 18 separate stream crossings and in the next slide that we're going to look at the cold stream project we invested eight and a half million dollars of public funds to protect all of these streams and now we have this enormous project that's going to come crossing it all uh two crossings in a tenth of a mile nine tenths of a mile and then it parallels a lot of the important habitat that we're working to protect let's go to the next slide please when central maine power set up and started talking about what was being done here they said oh there'll be absolutely no impact on any of the public lands and this is an area of public lands there are two public lots and the corridor actually comes down crosses over the habitat we're trying to protect and then bisects these two lots so in long segments of this corridor it runs parallel to the protected water that's the habitat along the stream from brook trout so it's it's very frustrating to see that central maine power and ibedrola it have used a portion of a unique zone in our state within intact work trout habitat to design and to build their carter on let's go to the next slide please if we can so this is the northeast corner of where the public lots are and there's already a road that crosses the area and now you're going to layer onto the road the corridor and the layering on where upon layer of habitat degradation an area that's supposed to be protected let's go to the next slide please can we go to the next side please has it forwarded to the next slide yes this is the public lands long tom hegan again you can see nine stream crossings all in little blue lines all going to destroy the habitat that we're working so hard to protect to protect brook trout again very discouraging and very discouraging to find that central maine power is chosen that specifically goes into areas that have been designed habitat let's go to the next slide please this is the one that really bothers me because we passed the law a year ago a couple years ago in the state of maine to create state heritage fish waters where the waters and the fish in these waters receive extra protected status yet here we have a central maine power corridor coming through exactly where the spawning habitat is and in the map that central maine power created they've got a lot of the stream crossings but none of them have all of the unmapped springs that enable spawning habitat for the brook trout let's go to the last slide please the next one it looks like that's the last one on this slide deck do you want me to switch to the next one well i guess i'll just i'll wrap this up this is a lot of detail that goes into impacts that are ecological for brook trout and spawning habitat is real rarity and to have central maine power and ibedrola intentionally locating their corridor where we're trying to protect the habitat it is it's just ingenuous of them uh they're lying to us outright when they say that they're creating no impact on the habitat that we're working so let's move to the next set of slides because i think this is going to really add to what we've heard today i'm going to look at a next set of slides please enya we're going to want to talk about dams and we're going to be talking about dams from little teeny small ones like the one right here where we have habitat that's being fragmented with culverts and it really doesn't matter how minor the impacts are when you're talking about water ecosystems spam impacts like this extend miles upstream and downstream because it disrupts all of the ecology that's in the river system let's go to the next slide please organic biology is really very complex and you can get advanced degrees in enormous detail of individual insects within this ecological environment but the more we study these systems the more we learn about just how complex they are and even more important all of the species that evolved over thousands tens of thousands of years they are co-evolved and they support each other each one is part of the other species so it's very difficult to talk about the impact of a single species let's go to the next slide please as you have a watershed that comes down from the mountains as you locate dams at any location on this watershed you get enormous significant impact on my local river the kennebec river the river is full of freshwater mussels and freshwater mussels live in a system that's in essence a one-way system all of the water goes downstream yet these mussels are enabled to inhabit the entire ecosystem simply because they're they're have co-evolved with the freshwater fish that come in and the saltwater fish that come in in the spring the mussels release their spat into the column of water and it attaches to the gills of the fish that are migrating through the system so they ride upstream with the fish that are coming in from the ocean the impacts of dams breaks all of this into multiple fragments of the ecological community and so when you have one dam you you destroy a section of the river if the dams lower down on the river close to the ocean where the sea run fish are blocked from coming in the actual impact is far greater let's go to the next slide please not all dams are created the same here in maine we have a lot of older dams that are called run of river dams these are dams where the the flow of the river is contained partially in a head pond but whatever comes into the head pond goes down and quickly joins the river back down so the regular flow cycle of the river can be continued this is not like the big canadian hydro dams that block and flood enormous areas and store the water from one season to the next let's go to the next slide because i think this is something that's really important to focus on this is the annual flow of the kennebec river taking very close to my home and in the winter you'll get a little bit of water coming out but it's really the spring freshen in may june as it tapers off at the end of june and into july this is when a lot of the ecological activity and all of the river system comes alive and is refreshed in the summertime the flows decrease decrease decrease and this year there are even lower than we have here because we're in the middle of an enormous drought we hope sometime in november the flows will come and we'll get another shot of water and again the rivers will rise this is all feet of elevation on the left scale and time on the bottom scale so the varying flow of a river over the course of the cycle of a year is something that's very important to all of the creatures that have gone evolved in this river system let's go to the next slide please this is this is in waterville maine close to where i live and these are old run of river dams that were built as part of the industrial revolution the industrial revolution started by making hydro-mechanical power and around the turn of the 20th century in the early 20th century electrical generators replaced the mechanical tools but the impacts are still the same here in maine and in canada as well they block migratory species they disrupt and eliminate the natural river system the impoundments cause the water to heat over the course of the summer and discharge in the fall when they should be discharging colder water and these small dams have a really big impact ecologically for a very small amount of power this dam for example generates about three megawatts only three megawatts of power when you compare that to the numbers that we heard earlier about the big canadian modern dams these are just drops in the bucket electricity wise and this is one of the reasons that we removed the dam just downstream of this one from the kennebec river and we're working on others right now let's go to the next dam please next slide please so the canadian megadams are enormous they're unlike anything we have in the united states those of us that live here in the states have no points of reference on the scale of these enormous structures and it was really shortly after the end of world war ii that canada began to really start building major dams all along its waterways that were down along the u.s border and i think that these dams have all of the ecological problems that we've seen with the smaller dams that i talked about earlier but they're even worse with these enormous dams that impact the whole of quebec and further west manitoba and also saskatchewan as well as labrador let's go to the next slide please just this summer a new publication has come out i think we really want to pay attention to this one because this this is a book that was published by activists in maine and it goes to the actual impacts of these enormous canadian hydro dams these mega dams and its new technology and its new understandings of ecology and it was really developed a lot of this it's because these canadian dams are designed for perpetuity they they're designed to be there forever they're not like american dams that have to be re-licensed every 40 years or less where as we re-license them we have a chance to attack the ecological damage and we can get rid of them one by one but canada has a very different governmental system so that these dams are really built for perpetuity this book has a lot of controversial information in it and a lot of the conservation and controversial information is going to be challenged by hydro quebec but there are some parts of it that i think are really true and that i've never thought of before and i'd like to share them with you let's go to the next slide please when we talk about the saint lawrence river and the effluent of the saint lawrence river there was a dr hans new who was a research science at the canadian department of fisheries and oceans bedford institute in dartmouth nova scotia and he started looking at how the river as it comes out and it joins the salt water of the sea develops what's called a salt water wedge let's go to the next slide please and the the details of how this the salt water wedge worked complicated there's a halcyon line that is the actual boundary between the salt water that's heavier underneath and the fresh water that's on the surface but let's go to the next slide please the the the whole issue is the turbidity and the currents that come in to affect all as all of these different currents mean it's important because the turbidity brings fresh saltwater nutrients from the depth of the ocean and dr new discovered that these uh salt wedges can extend as much as 200 miles offshore so let's take a look at the next slide please because we we can see what happened on the saint lawrence river system uh early in the 1970s and late 60s big dams began to be built on the st lawrence and the flow of the nutrients that comes out in the salt wedge through the gulf of st lawrence into the north atlantic where all of the cod populations were was shut off and at the same time all of the cod populations that europeans came to north america for just disappeared and nobody has ever understood where did these populations go and i think that it's increasingly clear that it was the canadian dams that were put in on the saint lawrence river that impacted all of these offshore fisheries and has caused the economic collapse of most of atlantic canada and it's it's dramatic and this is just new information that's coming to light that really builds to the indigenous people's stories from the north let's go to the last slide please because these enormous canadian dams that are being built all across canada they have extraordinary extensive impact they flood extensive lands they force indigenous communities to move away from their ancestral homelands i i'm pretty convinced that the dams in in hydro quebec have flooded the migratory routes of the caribou herds that one of the reasons that the happy valley group of uh of native americans have not had caribou up in their world is because they the migratory paths are now blocked by the these mega dams uh changes in flow of all of these have disrupted the ecosystem enormously the first nation people can no longer use the frozen rivers to travel on in winter to travel to their winter hunting grounds the river ice is multi-layered with each little flow that the dams release little skims of ice form but there is no solid ice which would be the normal situation with a free-flowing river where the flows decrease and stabilize in winter and i think the disruption of these is going to be impacting the saltwater wedge that goes into james bay into the arctic ocean and i think that that's going to be a very significant impact on the offshore fisheries as well as the onshore fisheries let's go on and talk about the impoundments that we have here we've heard a little bit about the methyl mercury methyl mercury forms in what's called electoral zone and the littoral zone is where light penetrates many of these great impoundments are very shallow and so when the sunlight hits the bottom the metallic mercury that's present everywhere in this ecosystem is metallized it adds a molecule to it so it can be bio accumulated and we've heard about how this works its way up the food chain from amy i mean it is incredible to think that the canadian government is setting up ecosystems that poison the indigenous people that live there and i think that the other thing that's increasingly clear that the new book blue uh deserts is beginning to point out is that the impact of warm water discharges into this arctic environment is very likely having an enormous impact on sea ice and we hear about the the arctic opening up in winter and that it's climate change but i think a lot of it is the presence of these dams and as the sea ice disappears it impacts the polar bears and all of the peoples that live in the northern end of the ice pack i mean it's incredible to see how this is all going on and then you have open ocean water in the arctic which adds heat to it which really impacts globing global warming in ways that we do not yes yet understand let's go to the last slide please i think that this last slide you've seen before and it really talks about the interconnectivity and it all reaching down now towards the united states and what we're hearing from central maine power and ibegroller is that they want to draw this big line across maine a 300 foot wide corridor not for one power line but we're going to see multiple lines along this corridor if it's permitted the ecological and social impact of the large canadian mega dams on the electrical power they generate make the power anything but green this is the dirtiest power imaginable this is the deal with the devil where they're sacrificing all of the peoples of the north all of the ecosystems of the north for the electricity that they think that they can sell into the united states so my objection to the spanish-owned power line to bring dirty hydro power from quebec down goes be well beyond the ecological damage to the brook trout that means so much to me canadian mega damn power is simply too dirty to be imported to the united states and it's up to all of us to work together educate the american people to understand this disaster that we are supporting thank you very much and i'll pass this on to the next speaker ah thank you so much okay go ahead and go ahead go ahead becky no go ahead becky so i just want to thank all of the speakers so much it's really informative um and i we were happy to take questions um i think the best thing to do is to put them in the chat if you have any um and um i also see that in the chat there are a number of people who would like to have the book so i would say you can either get in touch with um maine.chapter sierraclub.org is an email for our address or coordinator dot n a m r a namra gmail gmail.com uh and give us your uh contact information so we can get a book to you um so uh then i uh just wanted to see if there are any other questions has anybody raised a hand on a question can we mute i mean can we unmute people if you want to unmute yourself you could identify yourself and ask a question as well i'm seeing messages here but i'm not seeing questions becky you have a question from catherine skopic she's raising her hand great i'm go ahead rachel thank you um very much i enjoyed that and learned so very much from all of you what is the best thing one can do to stop this uh here in new york city i know both mayor de blasio and governor cuomo seem to be for this project and i've begun to fight with others and to bring the issue forward to the general public uh what do you recommend as the best kind of action to stop it right now before it goes any further can i uh step in for that please sure uh well most recently uh we just released a film and we had a press conference addressing uh the coalition of north eastern governors who are meeting with the premiers of quebec not just quebec but all the eastern premiers and they come together to discuss uh energy policies uh that will potentially tether us to head hydro for the next 40 to 60 years uh here in the state of rhode island governor gina raimondo is one of those governors uh governor cuomo in new york he's one of those governors uh premier le gold there there are quite a few i don't know all their names but um i would say you know get in touch with uh uh you know your governor or your premier and um you know demand uh help us demand representation uh on things that are gonna impact us you know we uh indigenous peoples need uh free prior informed consent and we have the right to self-determination and um so that's a good place to start and of course the north american mega dams resistance alliance you know and uh one east catan you can get in touch with with uh anybody from those two organizations uh they're doing a lot of wonderful things for uh hydro impacted communities thank you what's the governor's group called again the governors that meet northeastern that's the uh coalition of north eastern governors konig is the acronym thank you very much yeah thank you very much yeah and thanks john and and this is meg i would add with regard to new york city um get involved in some of the activity around um demanding that mayor de blasio have a transparent pro procurement process for renewable energy there are secret negotiations going on right now behind closed doors with mayor de blasio and hydroquebec and blackstone group which is the international financier that is trying to push through chippy they have a permit process going on in front of the public service commission so there's lots to do there and there are lots of groups we can put you in touch with that if you're with 350 or some of the other groups in new york city we can give you more details about that i mean i'm in sierra club and i know people in 350 and a couple other people as well so we'll start to gain rate strength in joining each other also i just want to mention that great thank you for those people on the call um who are in maine sierra club has an energy uh team and we are working very hard to continue to stop this effort um on the part of cmp so you can get in touch with us at maine.chapter at sierraclub.org and we'll be happy to have you join the team also writing letters to the editor because the fight is not over yet we have a lot of pending lawsuits uh that are happening uh on the state level and so uh join us if you like and we will continue to do this this work in maine thank you becky can i ask a question oh yeah sorry oh go ahead i'll go after please go ahead yeah oh please i'm sorry i couldn't see anybody else's hand up do you want to go please no please go ahead and i'll go after you that's okay please so my question is a little bit speaking of frustration you know i work to stop a pipeline near me west roxbury lateral and massachusetts and then you know folks were getting blown down today literally um in weymouth um with the cracked gas pipelines and the compressor and you know it's always a game of perceived and fake perceived energy need and i know that when we were doing our work in west roxbury you know there was always this oh my god the old ladies of west roxbury they're going to be cold they're going to have to put on a sweater in the winter they're going to lose their heat you know this kind of game of like pretending that we care about the people and i just hope that we can counteract that successfully you know because those little old ladies so to speak as they were referred to by the companies were the first people out on the line protesting these these pipelines here and i just get really really tired of this fake perceived we're running out of energy need um and i'm wondering how we can counteract that um you know because it's we all know it's about making the big money um but yet they do such a great job of this pretend need for energy so if somebody can just comment on that i can quickly mention that iso new england is the one is is an organization that um you know all of new england i know so right so iso new england we need to be writing letters to the editor about questioning what their science is because they i don't believe it's based in science um we have i i we have a question uh for steve um if you can elaborate around the science of the warming ocean from holding back water and the fisheries what groups are working on this um like gulf of maine research or clf do you know i i honestly don't know of a lot of groups that are working hard on this at this point i think that the russians have done more research about this because they actually use some of this discharge to break up ice in some of their communities all along the north of siberia this is really embryonic science this is impacts that nobody anticipated defined from these mega dams and um cmp and ibadrola and hydro quebec and all of the provincial power companies are going to argue against it saying oh there's no information there's nothing there i think we've got a long way of go and a lot of unknown science to really make this charge stick but it's but it's common sense a lot of science you can look at and understand the mechanism and how it works so we need to get oceanography involved in the impacts of these large dams disrupting the river cycles discharging warm water into the arctic and helping to break up the arctic ice which really is a cause of an enormous amount of ecological change that we have no idea and no understanding of at this point thank you steve i just wanted to say um something about the people of the feather in the james bay area those folks have put together a film about the warming water that lays on the on the ice where the ducks and all can't go down and get the food that they uh traditionally have so there's a lot of there's a lot more information that maybe we all should get put together again as we go forward in the next couple of months to point out some of the other issues that are involved and especially i know we've had the dr hagen on and so forth but i think it bears repeating because we we all have these questions thanks i guess um oh okay thank you oh wait a minute yes i'm okay thank you very much um i wanted to ask um meg or maybe becky both of you uh the question of going back to new york city which is where i'm from and uh and and uh the one of the last speakers from new york um where you know we work we have been working trying to work together on this to begin something um and uh i'm wondering uh in the way that the the mayor has been working secretly to pull this off and uh get it done by the end of the year um i i'm i'm wondering i mean the certainly there's the the city council i don't know if it's involved at all in this but certainly willing to bring it to the you know the the environmental committee at the uh city council um meg have you have you spoken to them uh yet um have you spoken to anybody at the city council about this in new york i mean no i have not i think that other folks perhaps within sierra club or from some other groups in new york have been in touch with the city council but i have not okay all right so it's a there's no reason not to go back to them and with more and more information um um there's so much material that you all of you have brought out which is really fabulous and so um i think we need to maybe with your help develop a a stronger strategy for doing something in in the city and um catherine and i are certainly involved and there are other certainly other people too but um so yeah we'll we'll do our best if we can um if you have any suggestions for us we are all ears and ready to you know uh ready to engage and follow some of your suggestions thank you john i wonder thank you so much um i was just thinking in an answer to that sorry meg but i'm wondering if john gonzalez can put in the chat of the uh link to the film oh yeah it would be good yeah um because that's a very useful tool okay hi regina this is annie i gave you a little card at the march on sunday and you're always welcome to call me you do have my number right yes yes okay yes okay uh we need to do something as a group collective okay um where is the um i can't find okay let me find the chat okay chat's down in the bottom bar and um and so it will be put in there in a second i think okay thank you thank you are there any more questions that i miss any i guess there was one question about um whether clf and gulf of maine scientists are working on this and i just want to mention that we have um spoken to them but they have declined to um to look into this the science of this oh what a drag can i ask another question if if other folks are done sure let me know so um in terms of uh first nations people in the states um intervening um and this is not my belief but i'm just curious how the government's work do you have to be either state or federally recognized um for that intervention to be able to have standing within the either the state government the federal government or you know these companies um this is meg i'll take us whoops go ahead go for it i'll take a stab at that um it sounds a bit like a legal questioning a legal question i'm not an expert in indian law but you know over the years there have been comments submitted to different state and federal agencies as i mentioned you know the penobscot tribe in maine submitting comments to the new england clean energy connect in my view part of the problem is that the laws that they're commenting under such as a national environmental policy act and others you know theoretically stop at the border and that is the position that the federal agencies are taking which says you know we don't have to look at any of the impacts of these dams or where this electricity is coming from which is really an egregious situation and in particular in new york city where you have the climate leadership and protection act which um hydroquebec is citing to as well as blackstone and tdi and trying to push this corridor through as clean energy citing to this law that has a very very strong climate justice goal and requirements the law says the clean energy plan of the state is supposed to benefit frontline environmental justice communities yet the impacts in canada are being ignored so um you know that's part of the problem and if an indigenous community here in the us was not in the line of fire of a particular corridor they wouldn't have standing to be able to go to court i know there might be a lawyer on here kevin might want to weigh in on that but that would be my take at this point kevin do you want to add anything kevin cassidy from earthrise law center yeah sure meg thanks um you know it depends a little bit i think uh uh what you know i'm more i'm most familiar with federal court actions uh that challenge these types of corridors uh under the the law that that meg just mentioned nepa national environmental policy act or sometimes under the clean water act and um and if there you know there's certainly if there are uh if uh i guess first nations or indian uh tribes in maine that have that are impacted like the penobscot and they've submitted comments to the core and there's a there's a federal action that is is filed uh challenging the corridor uh they may uh be able to join that through intervention and they may have standing if they can show um that their interests are going to be harmed but as meg says uh unfortunately the courts have interpreted some of these laws as as not looking beyond the borders of of the us which is doesn't make a lot of sense in the ter in the context of greenhouse gases certainly and those kinds of impacts and it also doesn't make a lot of sense when you are looking at a transmission project which is clearly connected um to to northern parts of canada so um so i think there are there are opportunities potentially depending on how it unfolds in maine um and i'd be you know happy to talk to anyone uh you know who might be more interested in in that and exploring that possibility i think those those are voices that that the army corps needs to hear from as much as possible hi amy here jump in sorry no okay i just i want to jump in real quick and say that um you know when we're talking about borders and jurisdictions and like that kind of thing this is precisely how you know these colonial court systems work against us because they did it with muskrat falls in that when they did their so-called environmental assessment they took this very harsh line at the mouth of the river and said there will be absolutely no effects past the mouth of the river we know that's not true like that doesn't make any sense it's not like the mercury in the water is going to magically disappear when it floats past a certain point right so i think a lot of this it's important to talk about but it's important to kind of keep in mind that that's how these systems work and they're working as they were designed to work in that they're working to you know rob us from our lands and territories and from our sovereignty okay i mean like in massachusetts you know the state is named for the massachusetts and yet they don't even have recognition you know and so like if they want to stand up and say things you know when you don't have that fake federal game recognition you don't get to say things and have the have standing so i'm just kind of wondering if we peoples in maine being affected who are not necessarily federally recognized which i think is such a ridiculous system and how they're able to stand up for themselves good point i can't really answer that but we do have um melissa ferretti who's the chair lady and president of the herring pond wampanola tribe from plymouth massachusetts on the phone and melissa if you want to take a minute and talk about your efforts joining with the penobscot and the inu of labrador and opposing the new england clean energy connect in the last couple of weeks that would be great sure oops okay i think she might he's muted me i thought i would then used to okay yeah all right um okay a state recognized tribe as well and i i do understand how the massachusetts feel you tend to be not taken quite as seriously i i think sometimes if you're not federally recognized which i agree with um with you that you know it's it's it's preposterous and it's it it just doesn't even make sense but i think as a tribal nation who is passionate about these type of issues it's just really important to stand up anyhow and to speak your mind and and address these issues and support as as we did other other tribal community tribal communities to stop these dams so i i think you know we wrote a strong letter to support um the inuit and the and the penobscot nation and i i encourage all tribal communities to do the same i think it's it's you know you really just have to make noise and and and people listen when we take you seriously you just have to stick up for yourselves i i think is you know really my point there that that helps at all thank you yes and i i did this this is meg i'll add to that sorry go go go meg go make all right where the um i'll add to that um with the north and the northern pass transmission corridor which was you know a twin to cmp and two tippy the new york corridor three u.s tribes did write to governor baker opposing that in 2018 so people here on the other side of the border have been standing in solidarity with indigenous and front-line communities in canada and i believe they'll continue to do that yeah yeah just keep on keep your head high and you know you just have to you just have to assert that right and just claim it and and don't let anybody tell you any different that's all i can suggest and we'll be here to support our brothers and sisters as long as they need us so thank you thank you melissa and thank you everybody for being on the call tonight um i'm sorry but i'm aware of the time we have a couple of other things that we want to talk about um we have an action slide which i think anya can put up actions you can take um sierra club maine will be developing a um or actually we're going to have a strategic planning session to um with our energy team and if anyone is interested in joining the energy team please send a message to the chapter at maine dot i don't think see that's on here at maine.chapter sierraclub.org and it is really valuable to email or write a letter to the governors it they have not allowed us to speak with them but more people need to you know contact them and say that we we really oppose this project governor mills in particular you know ran ran saying that she would evaluate the project and you know shortly thereafter being elected she you know move forward on it and i think you know we need to tell her that we need to hold up the mirror to her so anyway thank you so much um for this uh please take action please write to the governors and you can join us or in thank you for the connecticut and and new york members who have joined as well as um amy and john gonzalez and melissa and steve um it's been wonderful to hear from you and uh thanks to everyone for joining um we have a there's a we have another slide just to let you know is that we have another conversation about the lack of transparency and the money involved in the pursuit of big hydro on october 27th so um i think there's a slide that will come up on that um but it uh so keep look for that um in your inbox and um again this is sierra club maine october 27th another one of these evening events so um please feel free to join us and uh thank you so much steve amy john melissa meg um and uh who am i missing i think that's it thank you thank you very much thank you thank you becky for hosting thank you becky as well okay thanks so much

Rahul Mukherjee, Lecture on 'Proximate Exposures: Media and Radiance'
then today on proximate exposures media and radiance so rahul mukherjee is associate professor of television and new media and cinema studies at the university of pennsylvania his recent book 2020 book radiant infrastructures media environment and the cultures of uncertainty explores the ecological dimensions of media and energy infrastructures like cell towers and nuclear reactors rahul presently serves on the editorial collective of the journal of visual culture and the and the editorial advisory board of media and environment the discussion today is veena hariharan who is sitting by my side actually and we'll just zoom zoom on to her yeah there she is so veena veena is associate professor of cinema studies at the school of arts and aesthetics uh jawaharlal nehru university her essays and articles on on the hunting archives in colonial india freeway infrastructures and black experimental cinema water ecologies and contemporary documentary film have been appearing in various anthologies and journals so what the structure of today is a bit like this uh so i'm going to say a few words on the framework of the talk today and and then we move on to rahul then we move on to rahul and rahul will speak for around 25 30 minutes after that we now will come in as the discussant and speak for 10 12 minutes following that the discussion opens if you have any questions please send them in the chat function uh we'll be happy to present them to the audience so what is today about so today's talk crosses the discipline of media studies the environmental humanities and science and technology studies the framing ground of today's event is the problematization of two categories that of infrastructure and that of media along with this come the notions of public and publicity the idea of the political expertise and popular technocultural mobilizations so technological infrastructures have typically been objects of collective fantasy today they are enmeshed in a larger relationality which often exceed their intention and purpose this produces fierce contests over authority standards and safety most distinctly i think and this comes across beautifully in rahul's recent book infrastructures are porous and contagious they shape and attach new formations they radiate as rahul argues in his remarkable book what you see are new theaters of public debate and conflict over in over infrastructure which shapes new publics the larger framework here is the expansion of media from distinct almost partitioned sites like television cinema radio so what you have now is media as a collective plural a generalized condition of all forms different forms of life making this deeply affects and this will come across in our discussion this deeply affects what was once designated as experience which is once seen as distinctly human experience now expands to relations between humans animals materials materials animals humans so therefore the first problematic we see the expansion of the idea of media to the medial which again raul signposts and this is a larger condition of the environmental contemporary and remember here the environment is a larger set of relations between media populations materials right air water radiation now pandemics all these are all these forms are part of this expanded medial condition it demands vast amounts of data expertise new gadgetry and techniques of endless visualization and representation this is a kind of demand for representation and new techniques of representation right so therefore the medial calls force very distinct challenges and constant productive uncertainty so here what are the relations between human non-human and political affect obviously when you reassemble or see it's it seems to reassemble it demands a kind of thinking about these conditions so what happens to political affect how do we see mediation in this larger universe if it's not just mediation in the old sense so i think this condition is generative of a kind of technological uncanny which lurks in this medial condition how do you mediate or distill what you cannot see but maybe you experience we have seen this in this pandemic as new expertise it's regularly mobilized incessantly every day mobilized to stabilize a constantly shifting scientific truth bodies enter unseen conditions and contagions a vast amount of data visualization is circulated every day it's it it defines our life right so the surplus and refractions of energy are a key element in this scenario and this actually is the thrust of rahul's enterprise in in this book so now i will turn over to rahul for his presentations rahul uh the the screen is yours uh thanks really helpful discussion thanks also for uh um uh giving me the opportunity to uh share um my work here and thanks to veena for um being the discussant and respondent it's truly an honor to be speaking on this forum with sarai and csds so the presentation is mostly uh based on the fourth chapter of my book um but towards the end of the talk i'll also try to gesture towards some of the new work i'm trying to doing time permitting but then i could also do that during the q a so i'll just uh share my screen um so as i said mostly the fourth chapter and i'll just briefly set the context before going to that chapter um uh the first contextual sort of information would be more uh mostly the empirical one but another time i'll just go back again to some of the concepts i discussed in the book something that um ravi also alluded to around intermediality and environmental publics but that will be in the second iteration and i'll try to read a little bit but also talk through the slides um hopefully it should be good following the fukushima catastrophe and amid protests by good and coulomb fishermen about the effects of increasing radiation levels on their lives and likelihoods construction work at the nuclear power plant in tamil nadu came to a halt in september 2011. the nuclear establishment faced a crisis of accountability and in order to gain public acceptance for the project it went on an aggressive publicity campaign about the virtues of nuclear power these efforts were countered by anti-nuclear activists who deployed their own mediations to shape public perception about the dangers posed by nuclear reactors so so this is a nuclear-powered corporation of india limited npc i also add about you know brightening millions of lives bringing electricity to agricultural fields um and on the other side of fatima zarbin's documentary nuclear hallucinations meanwhile in urban centers indian citizens were deeply concerned about news reports that residents living in close proximity to mobile phone towers were being diagnosed with cancer sleeplessness irritability going to radiation's ability to evade the human census popular news programs in india characterize cell tower signals as kamuskatra silent danger one of the first reports was jan 3rd 2010 bombay's midday by examining a series of environmental controversies associated with nuclear reactors and cell towers this book conceptualizes the specificity of radiant infrastructures as a particular kind of infrastructure radiant infrastructures like other infrastructures provide structure to our lives they organize our mobility cell phones keep us connected as we move and shape the way we use our electrical appliances nuclear reactors reduce electricity radiant infrastructures more particularly are associated with gradients understood as fields of energy the signals emitted by cell antennas move like waves across the city determining which phones stay connected and which don't these signals enter people's homes disturbing erstwhile notions of public private boundaries radioactive isotopes emitted by nuclear reactors also defy boundaries finding their way into water soil and human bodies such radioactive nuclei accumulate in animals and plants resurfacing and concentrating as they go up the food chain i also here must mention that all radiations are not the same and the two different uh infrastructures i'm discussing emit very different kinds of radiation so for nuclear reactors and nuclear waste a different kind of like ionizing radiation alpha particles beta particles gamma rays um different ccm isotopes on the other end um radio frequency electromagnetic fields uh from from cell antennas and that difference is important and as much as the other differences are important which are about the fact that nuclear reactor sites were mostly in in rural areas being set up um and um while the cell antenna siting issues were mostly in sort of um densely populated urban centers so i attended a bunch of like demonstrations using microwave ovens um trying to sort of um explain how microwave ovens could be used as a way to understand uh cell antenna signals here you have surrender gadhikar long long-time gandhian anti-nuclear activist in aaron patwardhan's war and peace documentary and this is um hiraki koide from from japan coming to test some samples of radioactivity in the uranium mines of jadhu goda in sri prakash's nabi is another documentary of course on the jadhavura uranium mines buddha veeps and jaguar radiant infrastructures thereby uh becomes a heuristic that accretes the different ways people try to make sense of radiation emitting technologies and their everyday encounters with them and i was particularly interested in thinking about infrastructures both in their kind of everyday encounters with ordinary people as they walked around their lives and uh also the aspect of infrastructures as projects of the state so kind of the national imaginaries as well as a very equity critical imaginaries of of infrastructures uh but to come to specifically the radiance so the radiance of radiant infrastructures is a double-edged sword because these infrastructures are at once harbingers of development and emitters of potentially carcinogenic radiations these images um are from the sakri native village where are building its nuclear reactor in jethro a key research question for this book is how does considering radiation reconfigure the way we approach infrastructures radiant infrastructures are not spatially restricted to their tangible materialities they in fact cast a wider net through the effects of their imperceptible emissions that scatter and spread while conceptualizing the intraness of radiant infrastructure scholars simply cannot confine themselves to studying the visibility under invisibility of cell towers and nuclear reactors they must account for the invisible radiations and radiations themselves are not enough to comprehend the epistemic and political orders governing such infrastructures for that one would have to study the mediations of such radiant energies so i'll go to uh how in chapter four i'm thinking about media and radiance together so this talk in this particular book chapter examines the exposure of human bodies to radiations two questions are critical here how do various media portray the proximity of people living close to reactors and towers and how do these media capture bodily exposure to emissions by such radiant infrastructures and i think maybe a quick note on how proximity and intimacy are somewhat different and i'm here following the lead of kath weston's work um in fukushima and tokyo at that point of time so while depicting the proximity of human bodies to hypervisible and by now conspicuous infrastructures such as cell towers and nuclear reactors is easy making perceptible the intima signals is difficult it is important here to parse out the distinction between proximity and intimacy proximity connotes spatial contiguity and intimacy while certainly folding in proximity allows for suffusion and permeability thus human bodies in being tangibly and spatially proximate to nuclear reactors and seldom cell antennas end up sharing micro level intimacies with radioactive nuclei and wireless signals so i'll think through this distinction uh throughout this uh talk post fukushima and the protests against construction of new nuclear plants intensified in india the nuclear establishment decided to rebrand itself in collaboration with the national geographic channel npcil launched a series of advertisements one particular ad however goes beyond training nuclear energy is illuminating lives through the power of the atom something we saw earlier in this slide it portrays the proximate encounters between living beings and nuclear reactors as benign thus promoting the reactors as safe technologies producing clean and green energy we see a i'm talking about this particular image we see a bird perching on a slender twig in the foreground as clean white smoke comes out of npcl furnaces in the background the ad sells nuclear as clean energy and houses corporate social responsibility tactics although while blurring the boundaries between nature and nuclear technology here they not only coexist but also share akin's kinship they form what arturo escobar and joseph masko have called techno natures the ad emphasizes the idea that nuclear plant is nature reserve is not a paradox nuclear plants do not threaten the environment rather technology and nature seamlessly blend together i mean in some of the uh throughout the ad you would see sort of zoom-ins and extreme close-ups of butterflies sucking nectar animals emerging from burrows and a number of rare bird species going about their everyday lives the ad asserts that the intimacy between birds and nuclear reactors is perfectly plausible an oppositional reading of the npcil ad instead of seeing a seamless blending of technology and nature are used for the precarious existence of a bird so close to a reactor this perspective and i'm not talking about this image was demonstrated by the anti-nuke documentary filmmaker rp amudhan whose documentary radiation stories three kudankulam portrays communities living close to the kudankulang nuclear reactor in southern india and was made in solidarity with the protests against it in one scene amudan shows a woman feeding a goat in the same line of vision as the nuclear reactor when i interviewed ramadan he mentioned that unlike the nat jio and pciel ad he wanted to juxtapo just to post quote life woman and goat and death court nuclear reactor there is no blend of technology and nature here rather there is a dissonance the nuclear reactor will soon displace the woman and the goat and thus expel the woman from both her place and her livelihood in july 2013 i was present at a convention in ahmedabad where the people's charter against nuclear energy was to be drafted then i heard zevi ramba a member of the affected community in the identical village whose house was close to the reactor a staunch critic of nuclear energy rama asked why if the nuclear reactor is really as safe as npcl claims it is not being built close to the parliament of india and prime minister's house in a similar way in yashvil arya who lives close to the gurukul village in haryana where another nuclear reactor is being built asked why an atomic power plant is not being erected next to the president's house in new delhi he sarcastically reasoned that the electricity produced by the plant could help light up all 340 rooms of the rashtrapati presidential palace this rhetoric aimed at the indian government's hypocrisy suggests that some lives in india are considered less privileged and less valuable one could even say the government creates a perpetually long-lasting exception around the energy security issues and uses its sovereign powers to decide who to protect and who to let die the urban elites who seem so anxious about cell towers um which need to be in the city for them to have cellular coverage are not that bothered about nuclear reactors because they're being built away from the city and this is something that i was chatting with somebody again at this conference in ahmedabad i was going to take the night train to bombay and i said i was going to talk to some of the concerned citizens around regulating uh cell antennas and this particular anti-nuke activist said that you know the city dwellers are not bothered about anti-nuclear protests um they're bothered about cell antennas so he was sort of suggesting a certain kind of nimbyism associated with not in my backyardism associated but with cell antenna uh movement the movement to evade cell antennas um to sort of just put this in perspective in terms of the difference in infrastructures so in comparison the signals from a cell antenna are far more directed and targeted than nuclear radiation in case of normalizing electromagnetic radiation much depends on the direction of the main beam and the angle at which the apartment and antenna face each other documentary filmmakers took out the plight of rural fishermen affected by nuclear reactors and lifestyle shows like cnn ibn i guess cnn news 18's uh living it up which is a lifestyle show um sort of connecting lifestyle choices made by urban dwellers to health issues and concerns so documentary filmmakers took up the plight of rural fishermen affected by nuclear reactors and lifestyle shows depicted elite urbanites concerned about cell antennas near their houses even though the preferred channel of mediation was different in the two controversies both types framed the affected populations and the radiant infrastructures in one single image or shot so in this case you've carmen lyre who is depicted sitting in her house just outside the window you can see a tower and she expressed her concern for it uh having to sort of live in the vicinity of the towers signals all through day and night this is rabbani gurg who mentions how she was looking for what really happened with her daughter who was diagnosed with brain cancer and that one of the things she finally noticed and she hadn't noticed before because they're just out there she says was these uh cell antennas and in this lifestyle should you see her again like giving this kind of situated testimony testimony at the site of her sort of first encounter with the cell tower and kind of trauma so uh living it up this particular show took up the cell tower scare issue in an episode that aired on october 6 2012 and sought to represent the affective encounters between cell towers and human bodies and particularly these testimonies it of course used all kinds of things like the episode presents carefully state shots of children walking in a line with the tower looming over them a dusky color palette provides express sentiments to the scene which is shot from a low angle with the camera tilted up emphasizing the height of tower a soundtrack of metallic percussion instruments electronic disturbance and ringing phones accompany these scenes throughout the show often layered over narration voices and patient testimonies like that of carmel nair and rabbani gerg so despite these um despite their emotional and affective chart good situated testimonies that is testimonies like knives delivered at the site of an event or problem count as evidence during the cell tower radiation controversy the term anecdotal evidence was invoked and by a particular group of experts to question public claims of symptoms such as sleeplessness depression and cancer due to living in proximity to cell towers and our overuse of mobile phones in the cell tower con radiation controversies where experts confess to not knowing the long-term effects and are unable to arrive at a consensus about the permissible level of radiation anecdotal evidence attains particular salience in shaping public perception and making the state more responsive to the needs of the citizens you can observe instances of the presentation of anecdotal evidence in the newspaper rajasthan so there's a lot of like expertise counter expertise scientists saying something dissident scientist saying something real concerns and debates around us ravi was also mentioning about threshold levels of what amount of signals should be considered the threshold beyond which one has to regulate um so on and so forth so uh difference also with contested measurements different um the telecom enforcement regulatory monetary of the money board of the government would have uh would go and do measurements and then um another group like the code and emr solutions would go and they would have very different measurements and the reasons could be because it's kind of difficult to have the same kind of signals because the signals vary based on the amount of cellular traffic the built environment uh weather so on and so forth so many many factors sort of playing into this kind of uncertainty but to talk more about a similar kind of you know situated testimony anecdotal evidence in a different kind of media format the local newspaper and it's kind of very hyper localized coverage in rajasthan so uh you could see that they had this bhatti meisha has sitting inside the furnace kind of a campaign at that point of time uh related to cell cell antennas several images of concerned citizens in jaipur appeared as part of patrick's coverage of the radiation story these citizens who were affected patients or relatives of sick people appeared in the foreground either wielding measurement devices or pointing an accusatory finger at the set of mobile towers in the background such photographs almost give the impression that people like to see themselves in the newspapers in the pictures the tower was always nearby just across the street or on the terrace of the adjoining house looming and ominous shadows set to engulf the city consider this example and this is mani ramji here manuranji is shown standing on the terrace of his bungalow he's holding the signal measure measurement instrument with leds on his right hand and his index finger is pointing to the red light conveying that radiation levels are dangerous he's framed against the backdrop of the tower that is responsible for harmful radiation it is a self-consciously stayed image staged image another image in the same article shows a couple wielding radiation detectors as three towers loom behind them but journalists went to many neighborhoods in jaipur responding to complaint letters from the readers and were able to portray the individual experiences of the residents such a door to door or rather rooftop to rooftop or rather chat to chat campaign highlighted the situated knowledges and here i'm citing donna haraway of the locals suffering from the deleterious effects of nearby towers and i mean um perhaps a later one i would uh talk more about this but there is the way in which this kind of news circulates um has a lot to do with patrick thinking of it as a kind of community newspaper um when i was thinking about this i was also interning at a science magazine in in new delhi and the reporters there would tell me that they found patrick's coverage that as much as there was scientific uncertainty about this they thought patrick's coverage was too um communitarian that is that they were not checking the facts and when i mentioned this to the patrick editors they mentioned that yes there is the science is not clear on this but we do want to take our communities concerns so it's interesting kind of a clash here between what the priorities of of these different journalists were network media systems shape uncertainty citizenship claims and different environmentalisms about radiation and radiant infrastructures thereby gathering or forestalling publics around them um and these are the critical kind of conceptual terms in my books i'll get back to the book again and then back to the chapter again um by foregrounding the critical terms environmental publics and intermediarity in the various chapters i want the readers of the book to carefully attend to the relationship between mediation and radiance of infrastructures so clearly if one of the things i've been trying to establish is that um one way to think about infrastructures and study infrastructural publics are this idea of issue-based publics taken certainly from john dewey later on worked through by bruno latour and uh muji maharis and others which is thinking about these kinds of stakeholders um in the case of say the cell internal controversy or the nuclear reactor controversy and trying to look at the interactions between them and in my case of course media plays the roles gives these venues like the talk shows or the lifestyle show for some of these interactions to happen it could also be a documentary filmmaker like rp amudhan covering a public hearing around the environmental impact assessment of nuclear reactors so that's one way to think about it but certainly issue-based publics is not all that is there the idea of split publics about how different newspapers and different um in urban and rural areas covered the um covered the the issue differently um about how the kind of way in which the state looks at uh the fishermen community and the nuclear reactor issue is very different from the way they were they were thinking about these so-called concerned citizens belonging to resident welfare associations and in cities and and certainly some of the kind of challenges categories of civil society and political society were helpful and their kind of interrogations and critiques by ajay gudavarti and nandini sunder were also helpful as i was thinking through ways of the ways in which some of the organizational aspects of advocating for some of these concerns by very different groups where um shishu varughese's work on thinking about the civil society political society categories in terms of scientific citizen publics and quasi publics in the way they overlap with the civil society political society aspects was also helpful um uh breckenridge and apartheid work in public culture extremely helpful so was michael warner's work on a kind of constitutive circularity of public certainly interested in publicity and how some of this information misinformation fear psychosis was circulating and certainly also legitimate concerns were for circulating uh particularly for this uh chapter as ravi was alluding to as a kind of way of thinking about atmospheric media the pub net and oscar negs include alexander kluger's work from the frankfurt school a kind of rejoinder to habermas's notion of public sphere it was important where neg and kluge argue that public sphere is not just about institutions about civic spaces of of interaction but it's also about social horizon of experience so i'll talk more about that later on as i discuss one of the sort of atmospheric aspects in this in this chapter just to think about how i was thinking more about these kinds of interactions between different stakeholders so uh a show like we the people will be one way um uh you know with with difference uh with different uh another show could be the mirror now with uh talking to these different stakeholders but it could also be uh amudha covering uh a kind of public hearing again michael warner's work about how publix is a kind of poetics uh of address that there is a kind of poesis of address that there is a kind of poetic world making in the way people are addressed in one's neighborhood in one's community in a city like jaipur was also central to sort of thinking about publics intermediality is key and ravi already thankfully has alluded to how i'm thinking through the media and media so i'll just say a little briefly the concept of intermediality accounts for relations among media texts and forms covering a particular environmental controversy as well as the interactions between the media technologies assembled to demonstrate radiation so it's it's both about kind of seeing how the controversy and the debate moves from say a lifestyle show where rabbani girl talks about her daughter lisa but also and cell towers and she goes then to a talk show like um we the people and also talks about it so it's to think about those those two different sort of talk show and lifestyle show in relation to one another as uh as the kind of cell tower radiation debate uh circulates but it's also about these exercises of using aluminum foils and microwave ovens to demonstrate radiations of course radiation detectors as well media becomes a complex assemblage or still better a practice in the making where particular radiation monitoring technologies and environmental concerns as well as bodies and politics uh quote i'm quoting jennifer gabriel concretize into specific occasions that can galvanize citizen sensing unquote in stressing media relations intermediarity becomes a useful concept to foreground how media is part of socio-materially situated practices of radiation detection and citizen participation so i'm certainly thinking about uh mediated texts also media technologies with media not just uh technologies but also techniques and practices and here i was very interested in this kind of practice of of of making palpable invisible signals and invisible radiation so there are of course chapters which think through other ideas of publics and media with you know radiation hotspots marked crowd-sourced ways of thinking about cell antenna signal levels and as i said like thinking about publics i was very interested also in how different communities organized differently different movements organized differently so um this kind of like um um protesting by sleeping in the night on the beach one kind of like sort of a more people's movement idea of of protests a vis-a-vis a more sort of concerned citizen idea in the case of cell towers in this case and as much as the cell tower eviction of cell tower movement was was very much tinged with a certain kind of nimbyism there were certainly gross violations of um of um the kind of regulatory uh regulations that were under place as you can sort of see in this case uh kind of the cell antennas the top um assault cluster on a two floor hotel supreme apartment and this kind of proximity as i've talked about people started making their own kind of videos as a way to document proof that you know regulatory concerns were being kind of violated um each time even though they had a kind of municipal cooperation mumbai municipal corporation had sort of off um ordered a stay this particular consent citizen sort of made a video as he's just looking at his morning newspaper and found that there were new maintenance workers who were putting up more cell antennas at that point of time so um these two happened but let me get back to i've talked quite a lot about proximity but i want to talk a bit more on the sort of atmospheric front about the invisible radiation particles and rays so i'll talk a bit about dosage the the dosimeter attached uh to a nuclear worker's body gives an indication of the radioactive dose and bind workers who spend many years at nuclear reactors are trained to perceive through their dosimeter readings the shifts and radiation level level as they move across different zones from the nuclear fuel loading area to the spent fuel storage tank from the turbine engine to the control room the environment keeps changing in the medium of perception pragmatic exercise and also an exercise of a certain control control over the atom control over emissions control over radiogenic injury the inside series of national geographic involved journalists during an indian nuclear reactor in one episode titled tarapu nuclear plant unlock power in one scene of this particular episode the anchor comes from a zone of high radiation intensity and is inspected by other nuclear workers to check whether he's within the prescribed radiation limits the anchor is depicted wearing a thermodymus dissimilar tld batch and carrying another direct reading to submit a drd the health visit physicist explains that the drd is used to a certain immediate dosage the journalist has received then the cumulative radiation is recorded in the tld which is sent to the plant's computer records but is the compute security system really that compact is not the determination of the permissible dose a somewhat arbitrary exercise measuring and understanding exposure can lead to holding governments and corporations accountable for radiation related illnesses that being said idiogenic injury is difficult to a certain because it can take decades to manifest and such a latency period as shannon cram has argued in regard to workers at the united states hanford nuclear site court introduces doubt about the source of cancer mutation and birth effects whether in a uranium mine or a nuclear reactor the scientific way of a certain radioactivity inside nuclear bodies of calculation calculating radiation exposure is determining dosage external radiation for uranium miners involves exposure to gamma rays from radioactive rocks miners also inhale the bottles released from uranium and radon decay vehicles continue to spit nucleoids inside the miners body this is what is called radiation uranium miners intricately encounter radiation both internal and external and the alpha particles inside their bodies produce varying inscriptions on their skin lumps moles swollen limbs some documentarians in india have taken up this channel by obsessively showing the very visible effects of invisible radiation on human bodies and therefore damning the government for unleashing violence on its own citizens however many devastating effects of reading simply cannot be seen on the surface of human bodies other mediational strategies have included looking for traces of such unwanted intimacies cathode and storm and biomedical imaging of human bodies through x-ray plates and cd scans of radioactive signatures and bodies and electrons cephalogram eeg tests inscribingly so there's a lot of discussion about the the nuclear body and a kind of standard about the about the the dosages which are permissible uh there's a kind of reference man discussion also in in in the sort of atomic literature but what what is so crucial and and this is also uh going back to a kind of documentary way of representing this in some of the minimata poisoning cases by the japanese documentarian suchimoto where he shows that the kind of expressiveness of a nuclear body the way it responds is kind of a unique signature at each time for each body and this is something i i found particularly uh i mean as much as some of these documentary filmmakers also take up this kind of scientific route of of showing just the different categories of illnesses through the kind of bodily marks there was also this idea that that that each case was unique and special in its own way and needed its own kind of story but in the in the process of storytelling and that's what comes across um i think particularly in some of amudhan's work in his kind of the three-part trilogy of radiation studies one two and three this particular one uh this image is a piles cancer patient uh who worked in the kind of rare earth mining area in maniwalla kuruchi and he shot lying on his side his head resting on the pillow he's shot at an angle so that his whole body is in the frame at the beginning of the interview the man talks but does not face the camera he seems to be conversing with the person who is sitting either standing above and beside the interview what what happens to the interview and i'll not go into uh the details first say but um each time ramudan asks a question the person deflects talks about something else blows a flower a petal here um the interview has to stop midway through because he has to go to the restroom he can't go he's lying down but amudan continues and at some level this is a kind of obsessive extraction perhaps but what also comes through in amudhan's work about his kind of slow pacing and these kinds of camera movements is this idea of a total breakdown of of the testimonial apparatus and i found that that that was somewhat generative as a way of thinking about um about what is that great difference that we talk about sometimes in a kind of politically committed documentary film which one doesn't get in these kinds of uh quickly short televised uh interviews um so it is these spaces of reticence and i'm using a term jason alley uses those uneasy silences ignored questions whackers smiles or blank stares that lay open the testimonial documentary apparatus of knowledge introduction and contest the notion that local experiences and knowledges can be easily grasped by elites or even documentary audiences from the outside the testifiers demonstrate through their bodies and behaviors what they cannot articulate through language the bodily experiences of pain and illness suffered by radiated testifies will perhaps always defy language but such experiences also form quote the potential for humane community um amudhan's unhurried camera movements and slow pacing stitch together their bodily sensations and unstable feelings producing a shared sense making of the effects of nuclearization from what is made visible and sensible about these situated and expressive nuclear bodies we know that there is much more that we do not yet understand so this is i first two ways of thinking about those naggio feature report and amudhan's documentary i'll talk a little bit about interference which is the kind of standard again to talk about about electromagnetic bodies uh particularly by electrosensitives uh a particular group of people who uh claim or suggest that they are sensitive to to electromagnetic signals um the rf emfs that have alluded to before so back to the living it up show another of its episode um and the anchor 3d mundo subjects himself to a sleep test and gets wired to sensors in a sleep lab his uh mobile phone keeps buzzing all through the night and he has a restless sleep this part of the episode is short in night vision mode with little light which helps the audience relate to mundel's disconcerted feeling the sleep specialist mentions in her observations that mandel had fragmented sleep and delayed sleep onset the sleep test maps waves of activity in the brain and heart to graphical waves on the electrocardiogram ekg or eeg monitors these graphs are inscriptions of electromagnetic phenomena happening inside the human body the electrodes and sensors placed on different parts of mundul's body and head pickup voltage fluctuations generated by neural impulses deep inside such mediations of the human body transcend its flesh to place it in the context of electromagnetics writing about the possibility of electromagnetic pollution interfering with brain waves the anthropologist stefan helen writes notes quote where there are electromagnetic waves interference is never far behind and this is the case when it comes to thinking with and through brains too monitoring manual sleep becomes a biopolitical process of checking for any harmful interference between cell and to have signals and bundles uh cardiac and neural functions when i asked mundo about his decision to become an experimental subject he replied it always works best if the reporter goes through the experience himself that way the origins can find the whole show more believable according to model including the personal self in the process of testing is a sign of legitimacy in this scenario there is both the affect of model being put through a test and the effect of us seeing monroe's sensations inscribed in the form of graphs just to take to a very quick and i'll be concluding very soon this example from a medical drama holby city of this guy who comes to the hospital complaining of irritability of nausea vomiting and people don't seem to take him seriously he keeps complaining um and then they suggest okay we'll we're unable to find out what's really happening with you and he has to go through this mri test but he can't withstand the mri test and as soon as he sort of put through that contraption he yells and screams and has to be taken out and many of the doctors in the hospital in that medical drama suggest that um this guy must be crazy but bernie wolf uh one of the assistant suggests that um reasons that the patient has developed the hypersensitivity to emfs because of his long-term exposure to broadband communications it's suggested that he actually puts broadband communication equipment for for for the elderly and that's his profession this has to be the reason why his body reacted negatively to the electromagnetic signals of the mri machine which were trying to probe for aberrations that were actually the cause of his discomfort wolf's hypothesis is proved correct when the patient begins to return to a normal condition once he's isolated in a room that does not have any wi-fi and this is a particular case of electrosensitivity electrosensitives bring attention to the soaked up environmental milieu of radiant energies in addition to solid radiant infrastructures if we are to comprehend the environmental effects of radiant infrastructures we have to think more ecologically and relationally about their emissions this means not only relating one radiant technology to another like the mri machine to cell towers or broadband but also considering the interference of radiant energies produced by human bodies mri technologies and cell antennas that is moving from the mediatic level to the signaleric level paying attention to wavy and fluid radiant energies rather than solid radiant infrastructures makes us notice the quote intervening medium of the air again citing jennifer gabries the concept of intermediality is something that emphasizes the inter as in the inter in betweenness of media gets further but rest as we think of the atmosphere between solid media objects and infrastructures as a medium as well i've contended that the pub so one needs to understand mediation not not as some discrete media object or media text but as an envelope around the social where matters of experience are as critical as matters of deliberation and discourse the goal of this chapter and perhaps the stock thus has been to make the particular experiences and feelings of affected patients as well as the micro level intimacies of their bodies that their bodies share with wireless signals and radio isotopes radioactive isotopes come to matter in environmental public discourse publix exists not only as conversations but also as experiences oscar next and alexander kluge emphasized the need to study everyday experiences as part of investigating public spheres they offered from within the frankfurt school a rejoinder to habermas conceptualization of a conversation-oriented rational critical public sphere they argue that public sphere this is nickton kluge the public sphere refers as much to institutions establishments and activities as it does to the quote social horizon of experience which is something that has to do with everyone and which only realizes itself in the heads of human beings of the dimension of their consciousness while next include associated experience with the mind and consciousness i've been using the term affect to connect both emotions and non-cognitive sensations putting emphasis on the embodied aspect of environment publics means we seriously consider the variety of human bodies and their different interactions with radiant infrastructures and we and that we do not believe in standard templates of one nuclear body on one electromagnetic body i'm kind of done here i wanted to talk a little bit about my new stuff around some of these questions of sensitivity around uh uh jc bose's work but i could wait till the end whatever ravior veena suggests you just do it you know you can just do it you can okay so in some of my new work continuing with this question of sensitivity i try to find a historically culturally and phenomenologically nuanced epistemology or wireless technology and to see how it is intermeshed with experiments and biophysics specific specific philosophies of vitalism and knownism and particular strands of feminist techno science i started researching the work of biophysicist jagdish chandra bose when the last decade of 19th century began manufacturing wireless devices operating in the millimeter range to conduct scientific experiments and plant sensitivity this is uh the the bose museum in calcutta some of today's 5g wireless waves operate in the same millimeter wave band equivalent high frequency spectrum as both as scientific apparatus so some 5g certainly does work in military millimeter wave but some of them are still continuing to be in microwave at a calcutta town hall in 1895 bose used a spark gap transmitter to send a 60 hertz signal through three walls in the body of the region's left and then governor to a funnel shape on antenna and detector 23 meters away both believed that plant animal and human matter were all powered by mahashakti sanskrit for ultimate energy and that wireless signals were interfering with this maha shakti a notion of energy similar to ether in its own encompassing quality and ashish nandi virginia shepard and others have written on this i agree that bose's theory of electromagnetic vibration allows for forging continuities across plant and human sensing even though bose's thesis collides too easily from plant sensing to plant consciousness and does not rigorously differentiate between the activities of sensing and feeling i contended an environmental media security based on bose's work helps us imagine communicating communicative processes unfolding through electromagnetic pulsations and vibrations at various levels and scales of of plants and environments challenging existing regimes of perceptibility such a processional media theory pushes for including different perspectives on electrosensitivity and and plant feelings this is from um bursa's book on obacto which is the undescribable or unstable so i'll end at that note thank you so much thank you thank you rahul that's really incredible there's so much to think about frankly you know apart from from the from from your unique purchase on on on this and uh really you know i think quite pioneering in in in in the scholarship from south asia uh so there's a lot to think about so i'm going to hand the floor over to veena now and and veena will make her intervention uh rahul thank you so much for that uh wonderful presentation and also for that uh final you know that last bit that you showed us that was just really quite uh fantastic and um thank you also for your book i mean it was really like a fascinating book um so um i'm just going to make a few observations and in response to your presentation and also to the book more broadly speaking because i i guess a lot of people who are uh attending today participants may not have read the book yet because i don't think it has come here it has not yet reached india i haven't got my copy either so but um so um uh the so-called infrastructural turn right um highlighted by uh brian larkin lisa parks nicole uh steroselsky so they urged media scholars to shift their um focus from medium as message form and content uh that is from representation narrative and aesthetics to the big picture of scale materiality and networks at the same time a critical body of work on infrastructures on electricity cable satellite tele mobile telephony internet etc that drive media systems um has made it uh possible now to study infrastructures uh in terms of the cultural um political social sensory and ecological so the um entanglements of digital media infrastructures and the environment suggests itself in ever more relevant ways uh if you look for example uh at the recent internet blackouts at the farmer's protest the delhi borders um and also the arrest and subsequent release of 22 year old climate activist disha ravi uh for allegedly updating uh google document uh the toolkit uh the link has been uh somewhat um i would say arguably with people in this room and participants that um arguably understudied uh in the indian media studies context of course it's been studied separately but uh in relation to media i think there has to be uh there's less work on that and therefore i think your book offers a pioneering um i would say pioneering exploration of um you know of media nature's what uh juicy parikha's term for the sort of continuum of media with uh of media infrastructures and nature so jose parika says media is off nature and returns to nature right uh so media here is a sort of intimate environmental participant right and you make that distinction between uh proximity and intimacy uh in in productive ways which uh maybe you can talk about later um and i think the book makes very important interventions and this some of them came up in your talk uh although many of them are which it was for i mean your talk was focused on one of the chapters right the chapter on uh exposures but uh i i thought i'd just you know sort of zoom out a little bit and look at also some of the other interventions that you make in your book um just a little just a few of them uh and of course the the most fascinating premise that uh the book makes is the juxtaposition right it's a juxtaposition of uh nuclear plants on the one hand and cell phone reactor a cell phone antony uh on the other so uh they are juxtaposed by a metaphor and mediation so um what uh rahul does is he deploys this very productive metaphor of radiant infrastructures um and i quote from the book at once glowing symbols of an aspirational postcolonial modern and radiating potentially carcinogenic emissions this is from the book so phenomena like like radiation what timothy martin in his object oriented ontology would call hyper objects right things that are massively distributed in uh time and space uh relative to humans and therefore resist uh localization and uh that is uh that indeed is the challenge for both representation as well as mediation of these kinds of uh hyper objects and what the book does what your book does is actually make manifest the local so especially in this chapter from your book that you just presented to us um you know why are the uh why are the effects on surfaces so surfaces for example on the skin uh on the body and on media texts so um for that reason uh i i also like this particular chapter uh uh the most among uh among all of them um so uh does cell phone i mean this is one of the one of the uh hypothesis of your book right you say you ask does uh cell phone radiation cause cancer now um a quick google search on this will give us returns like uh not proven or words like alleged or sometimes just an emphatic no from the official releases of say the food or the fda the food and drug administration usa et cetera so where such fears have been officially uh quashed um and uh unofficially too since the um since the sort of the penetration uh has been so ubiquitous uh there's been a sort of a quid pro core right where we accept the dangers of an imperceptible uh yet to be proven uh cell phone radiation just as or even more actually more than we do the dangers of say signing away our private data for example um so this makes me uh curious and this is one of the questions that i had which maybe now we could address later about the periodization of this research because i understand that must have been a field work which then later leads to the book and all of this takes uh time as we know and um but however uh having said that it continues of course absolutely continues to be relevant because uh the emphasis in the book is not so much on uh hard scientific evidence right that supports or disproves uh the radiation theory uh but the threat perception rather than the threat itself so it's the threat perception that is being sort of mediated and uh sort of explored in your book rather than actually uh the threat and um so so on the one hand um there is a very real very real and proven risk of uh radiation on bodies in uh close uh proximity to the kudungulum uh nuclear plants uh following the level seven uh accidents at fukushima and chernobyl which alerted the world to this kind of uh danger and on the other hand is the risk perception of cell phone antenna radiation so it exists at the level of perception in that we don't have a conclusive evidence in support or against it whether it be because of the corporates and all of that but still we don't have any absolute uh uh proof so uh by juxtaposing these two what the book achieves uh is a dissolution of boundaries between uh evidence and perception um so your methodological and theoretical resolution of this is to study the phenomenon itself via mediation in other words the ways in which this risk perception is mediated rather than to quantify or qualify the risk right so um just a little sort of a tangent here but uh in an interview uh uh somewhere i don't uh exactly recall where but you uh make a sort of analogy with the the covid uh current sort of kobit uh uh phenomenon the pandemic and um you know so so i think it's a very apt sort of uh analogy because uh at any given point it's shrouded in uh mystery so uh we may know the truth uh years hence but right now all we can understand is the phenomenon itself right the whole sort of way of life that is being uh precipitated by the pandemic the lockdowns the the protocols the sort of surfaces that emanate uh risk and all of that and um so so so then how does one cope so so this is something like what what you say you know in cultures of the cultures of uncertainty right so uh how do we cope with uh something like a pandemic it is the same as we cope with um um you know another sort of culture of uncertainty which at that time when the cell phone uh uh towers were coming up the there was always this this uh risk perception that you know for example the citizen uh that you uh show the citizen journalism who's looking at the cell towers that are being constructed opposite his house and getting really uh agitated um so the focus uh like as uh like we said before is not so much on scientific evidence right uh but the mediation of science in popular uh discourse so uh and uh rahul traces this through the in what he calls intermedial flows uh in a staggering array of media artifacts that are marshaled here documentaries tv shows news reports advertisements um so from psas to national geographic television shows and all of this and uh i found the use of the contrapuntal method i'm uh referring to uh edward said here to to track these uh implicit hierarchies and contrast so urban versus rural vernacular versus elite an urban lifestyle show like living it up versus a local newspaper like uh look over natalie newspaper like rajasthan patrika serious versus non-serious journalism activist documentary versus films division documentary facebook versus twitter so all of these things make a fascinating mapping of this um very complex media terrain right the wire the notion of the uh environmental publics which is of course one of the key takeaways of the book and you uh spent some time talking about it so i'm just going to uh um say very little about that also the um uh just to sort of recap the the um environmental publics um are you know all the all the people that uh rahul mentioned the activists scientists policy makers film media professionals concerned victims potential victims all of them who articulate their anxieties as well as aspirations right around media modern digital infrastructures and their relationship to the environment and uh what is interesting is uh something you didn't uh fully sort of uh explain in your talk but uh it's it's sort of um mapped through the various controversies right the so the the uh um he says so i quote here publics who articulate contesting views about the relations between modernity wireless signals and nuclear power so uh central to all of this is the role of media and by implication uh media infrastructures uh so cell phone antenna for example would be uh an actin to use uh latter's uh term in the network and uh what is interesting for me is that it is tracked by an affective rather than a discursive uh register and um i see this articulation as having an afterlife as in it's a sort of a modular concept that can be used for other publics so you can you know like for example secular publics we can use this sort of same uh methodology so to speak uh to to um track other kinds of publics and therefore it's again a very uh uh a productive concept that has a life beyond uh the immediate context of of the book um so in order to trace these um uh you know these environmental uh publics through these controversies etc you you also set up a few oppositional discourses right and um uh i just want to point out a few uh uh depending on the time so um one is between uh the symbolism of the nuclear plants uh what has also been called uh by other scholars nuclear nationalism and uh the painful reality of the radioactive emissions so uh the documentary that you talk about which is rp amudhan's radiation stories uh we see this very explicitly in the stark close-ups of malformed radiation victims punctuated by the if people have seen the film um you know the malformed radiation victims are punctuated by the vande mataram song which is being played against the backdrop of the nuclear plant so not only are we forced to see the grotesqueness of the national symbol but also of the radiation victims and their families captured by amudhan's visceral shops so another oppositional discourse that is explored in the book is between science and vernacular or folk wisdom right and um again the book offers a critique of science not not uh exactly science but the the uh bureaucratic delivery of the scientific establishment in india so um the radiation is not only an instance of the imperceptible uh slow violence what richard nixon calls the slow violence and what you have termed khamosh khatra but it's it's rendered doubly imperceptible by the state's science bureaucracy which is always uh shrouded in mystery um and here the role of mediation that is uh journalists and documentary filmmakers who unravel this um become important even if they are co-opted or circumscribed by what howard kegel calls the arcanum uh the state's monopoly of secrets and information and this is particularly relevant to the nuclear establishment in india right um so the the fact that the book does not valorize uh science or create a hierarchy between science and uh cultural or folk wisdom is is is interesting and it's worth recalling here uh the anecdote that you cite in your book which you did not mention today but which is a very interesting um uh encounter that you had during your field work with the uh sort of with the person who uh deferred to the peacock sensitivity right the peacock's sensitivity to wireless signals over the emf uh detectors so so circle was interesting and it was only when the peacocks returned to his garden that he finally believed that he was out of the danger zone so um and i see this as a very fine uh balancing act between what you call the vernacular mythologies of the everyday um and because it you know the danger is that it's always perilously close to being uh what a modern scientific temperament would call superstition or vegem or something like that so how does one reconcile uh indian modernity's quest for a scientific temper uh with these sort of local wisdoms huh without slipping into what could easily be um construed as a sort of hindutva style pseudo scientific you know that kind of disco so but you do a very fine i think very fine balancing act of actually uh you know keeping that uh balance from not tipping into any one uh direction um so i thought that was very um any very interesting uh oppositional discourse there another opposition that you set up is is between uh livelihood activism and post materialist lifestyle activism right post materials meaning after the material needs are taken care of after livelihood needs are taken care of then uh you have your uh sort of um you know lifestyle activism your backyard you're spoiling my backyard activism and um so the activism against the kudungulum a nuclear plant uh as an instance of the environmentalism of the poor uh of en of livelihood activism where livelihoods are at stake and activism against cell phone antenna radiation taken up by urban elites and celebrities like juhichala as instances of lifestyle activism so where lifestyles are at stake so this uh oppositional discourse that you set up between bourgeois environment environmentalism and uh the environmentalism of the poor kudungulum uh activism versus cell phone radiation activism urban versus rule etc um that uh i wonder if those boundaries are precisely uh what are getting recast today with uh uh you know with this sort of digital activism and what's happening now when for example rihanna far away rihanna tweets on farmers protests and creates a sort of whole set of events and and also with more dire consequences a continuum is established already between uh the kudungulum activists um where the entire village of uh in tamil nadu uh was booked for sedition right the so so was booked for submission for protesting against the nuclear plant and this is in 2011 and so that would be one of the first cases of that kind of uh uh slapping of sedation uh in this environmental uh protests movements and uh making a direct lineage to a young urban climate change activist disha ravi who was arrested under the same charges sedition charge so there's a sort of a way in which now the two are sort of not we are not able to clearly uh you know separate the two kinds of activisms i think um so finally uh since i've been given ten minutes so finally i would say that the book reconciles a largely human story with a uh non-human one uh where non-subjects uh if we call if you want to call objects non-subjects then um they take a life of their own right as jane bennett argues in her book vibrant matter so uh along with the radiant infrastructures uh the cell phone towers and nuclear reactors you explore the non-human bird figure of pakshi rajan in the wonderful analysis of the rajnikanth film in indiran in the conclusion of the book which completely made my day um because you know after the reading the whole book and then you get this wonderful uh conclusion um and um so you introduce peacocks aluminium foil microwave ovens as dramatist person a right in this very intriguing story of uh human and non-human entanglements so thank you uh very much for your book thank you for your presentation and we would love to hear more about your new work which again sounds uh very very uh fascinating thank you uh thank you veena that was that was really nice and and comprehensive and uh so rahul you have the option of uh you have the option of coming in now if you want on on veena's comments or you could we could gather more questions i also have some you know comments and questions we could we could do two three rounds what do you prefer uh would you want to respond to winner now i promise to be shocked in this i just like to thank you know this really uh like amazing uh discussion and especially for thinking in a kind of meta way about the research approach uh thinking about like evidence and perception and threat perception and i kept thinking that threat perception along with evidence has its own kind of uh epistemology and i was trying to sort of work through that um yeah i mean uncertainty with the coven 19 and in this moment also with some of my cases around cell antennas and nuclear reactors i think like uh the cultures of uncertainty thanks to enough for bringing that out because i didn't quite talk about it but yeah i think at one level it could be understood almost as misinformation and as you know something vernacular mythology bordering on conspiracy theory but at the same time these are also very important kind of uh moments where people are really coping with their uncertainty and trying to make sense of it and trying to sort of live their lives amidst all this uncertainty so they need to perhaps um believe in the peacocks when you know they can't quite believe in the radiation detectors or the people who are making those detectors or they can't believe whether the cell antenna signals are being kept beyond or below a certain threshold so uh yeah i mean all the stuff that you said are is all great and maybe i'll keep returning to them as with some of the other questions thanks thanks a lot nina uh thank you thank you rahul and and i'll just be throwing open the floor to my uh to the people in this room uh and and we may have questions you know if people are listening in you can send in your question uh on the chat so one or two quick quick comments apart from the fact that i really enjoyed your book and one of the things i really liked about it is the amount of work you put in uh and because you've dealt with vernacular stuff you've traveled everywhere in india you've met everyone and what is nice is some of the films you've been you know dealing with has been shown in this very room uh so so you know buddha buddha fatima's film so you know it's very nice so this i really like the amount of work you put in it just shows when dealing with such a complex thing you have to put in this kind of material material work you know we have a lot of theory heavy uh stuff coming out which is also important but i think i also like this so two two two comments really one is the problematization uh three comments actually a problematization of testimony which happens with this production of uncertainty right testimony becomes a challenge so how do you how do you produce testimony is it by reinvoking and this is a challenge for documentary i think art has opened up you know more interesting stuff here the challenge with documentaries do you project the vulnerability of the human body when dealing with something that is not yet clear you know and and this is this has always been a challenge right so some people uh you know people uh like people from forensic architecture with whom we've had a very close relationship uh like susan should play uh you know talk about the testimony how material becomes test you know becomes testimony you know enters the testimonial zone you know she's looked at strips of film that that have led you know one of you know her points about chernobyl is about how film suddenly darkens in that moment right so material forms collide and come together and enter the realm of the testimonial you know what wiseman calls objects rearrange the photo that's one way right so this tension of the body we know the human body is reframed with the coming of the of digital media we know that but the the challenge of narrating this testimonial is is i think a critical challenge that's one the other thing which i think is implicit in your thing which is this whole theory of the split public which is which is this dra it's kind of a it's kind of dramaturgy of political democracy which is what the spirit public theory uh goes like this and it it happens in various where there's there's a liberal elite uh which which focuses on reason evidence etc etc uh which uh which which which which houses what you know voice of god discourse and television broadcast there's a you know there are there's very big small bit of television that talks like this in india but overall this is the theory and affective media at the vernacular level and affective publics which are which may or may not be drawn by this idea of rational thought and we see a bit of this coming up all you know there's a way in which your work i think disrupts it and complicates it you don't take it on which is good you actually open up other you open up different flows because this is a problem actually it's a genuine problem of political democracy we see it coming back again in different ways uh political populism has sought to collapse both these realms right worldwide on the other hand with the pandemic we hear you know you know trust the signs trust the evidence you know don't trust the misinformation you have different versions of this play but what is nice is you actually blur it a bit you introduce different cuts and flows right and and i think that's that's a nice way of going about it rather than saying it is wrong the other thing uh which i think i'll come back to that later i think i think i'll you know i'll put this in as a comment and i'll i'll open this up to the to the floor yeah yeah i have only read half the book but i really enjoyed that half and uh but bina has given such a wonderful comprehensive picture of the rest of we got signposts all the way along down to that indirect conclusion which i'm really looking forward to anyway uh now it's mine was just a much more uh precise question zoning in on this question of the environmental public uh because there seems to be a series of shifting registers through which you actually kind of uh discuss it how you frame it uh and one of these is actually that at one point you say it's actually constituted by disruption if i remember correctly uh this is one kind of uh proposal which you make at a certain point which i understood the logic of because publics are just not there they have to actually be constituted by some set of things which happen to produce them but at the same time one must presume that publics are also actually kind of cultivated over time through a whole series of practices which may range from you know instruction education whatever and that surely is another dimension of where how exactly an environmental public would be composed the other thing is of course the powerful dimension of what you are doing which is about how the objects and the subjects of this uh mutually constitute this environmental public uh so that you have your radiometers and and also the actual system of circulation itself becoming a critical vector of that so that one interesting moment in this shifting register is when you actually come to the the two different sites the com contrast between two sides which is the cell phone tower and the actual the nuclear factory and it's in this that the nuclear factory is penetration unlike the cell phone tower which is much more easily penetrable you can go in and see how it's put together uh is actually governed by a certain type of uh pro filmic space isn't it it's actually to do with how things are organized for you to see them and there's a prescription on what you can see and what you can't see there's also not only a prescription therefore that we can you know that the figures you have referred to as journalists who actually seem to kowtow and accept the protocols of what can and cannot be seen is one thing like a form of embedded kind of scientific journalism i suppose but the other side of the coin is that there's actually a shifting register of what could potentially compose the environmental public at these at this point there could be the engineer it could be the worker there could be other figures who could potentially come into view so this con you know shifting configuration of what composes the environmental public i think is very suggestive so that's parking one thing the other thing is the question of the aesthetic you know and there is the ways in which the mediatic form uh which actually is a key vector of how you actually navigate uh through this you know this kind of the the environment uh is actually uh there are a number of different potential things the talk show and you know this kind of multiple screens and and that kind of stuff i was struck by two things one is the ways in which uh the new nuclear reactor and the actual kind of cell phone tower are kind of imaged in terms of a certain kind of landscaping or cityscaping and that struck because you've got a wonderful setup in fact the first thing i did was to go through all the photographs before i started reading anything because you've got some remarkable stuff there and those counterpoints actually also kind of overlaps sometimes you get a feel these are not just counterpoints so the the thing in the background you know the object which from which everything is emanating in the background of the human subject in the foreground becomes is a peculiar sense shared you know so you can actually have the figure as actually vulnerable in a to a remote entity which you are then going to or the documentaries is going to actually kind of pull out the meanings of this kind of relationship so there's something about that aesthetic which actually seemed to also confirm this problem of a split public in the very imaging of how you compose it it was wonderful stuff around amudham and his refusal to have any presence of anyone except the people affected you know there would be no other figures in this space no in radiation stories so there's a refusal that certain parts of the public i am screaming screening off you know it's almost like a documentary act which is taking place but it seems to be what i think you're doing also is that in in kind of putting a quotation mark marks around split public the actual ways in which an aesthetic is actually kind of being framed and the ways they may actually traverse spaces because arguably it's not just a middle-class activist and lifestyle urbanist who is actually kind of involved in you know her background by back backyard and that's how it's composed or it's it's obviously these are things which affect all of us at one level so there's a way the relationship between the uh the actual radiate radiating entity and the actual composition of bodies in space seem to actually aesthetically you know develop an argumentation of which is unsettling some of this me while of course radically uh reinstituting the question of a rural urban which has come to our minds every day now in a sense with the with the farmer's agitation so rahul you want to respond should we take more questions what do you prefer maybe i can quickly respond it'll be very short okay okay so both i think it goes well both uh with uh the both the ravi's questions why not aesthetics and another on the testimonial i just wanted to say like uh that it is um it is an interesting moment i'll just maybe provide a short anecdote uh with amudha i asked him uh you know like i mean the kind of his continuity with a particular kind of politically committed filmmaking has been his kind of endurance with it has been quite fascinating to me and i asked him once about you know his one of his favorite filmmakers and he said and he he mentioned patricio guzman and i said well you know guzman has been making a different kind of film films now from battle of chile to now nostalgia for light and he said i continue to love the guzman of uh of uh battle for chile so so so there is something there i think with that uh endurance um and um to the other question on uh on um i think i was trying to i think the the whole public thing for me i basically i'm obsessed with that term perhaps and i've used it too many times in my chapter titles and article titles also but it's also like the way in which it's been approached by so many different people makes for interesting reading and i i as much as i wanted a certain kind of idea of you know issue based publics based on disruption breakdown i also wanted to get out of it because um the kind of organizational um aspect needed for particular kinds of publics to appear or you know join together was very different from a kind of you know a kind of people's movement kind of environmentalism of the poor court idea uh vis-a-vis a kind of bourgeois environmentalism or so-called concerned citizens in a kind of resident welfare so the organizational dynamics of constituting a public or coming together and the kind of breakdown dimension i wanted to sort of put it all together yeah i'll stop at that so prathama my colleagues thank you very much for the presentation and i'm really looking forward to reading the book um so i want to it's it's largely in continuity to what uh ravi vasudevan particularly was saying um i i want to think more with you on the uh on the salience of using the concept of the public in the kind of work that you're uh doing um one thing which ravi already mentioned is that coming uh coming from environmental studies scholarship there is a deep questioning of the earlier ways of imagining publics as necessarily multiple and plural or split or hierarchised or and so on in the sense that many environmental scholars would say that a toxic air or a virus or radiation breach borders between publics in a way in which traditional sociological or urban rural kind of divisions do not really work when we think with these kind of laws so that's one large question uh that so it's interesting for me that you continue to use the term public as as it were in a context which challenges the very conceptual foundation of that idea which comes primarily from human political uh uh uh contexts right so the other aspect of this uh uh question then becomes the human non-human access which is so central to your work where on the one hand the idea of the public kind of sits uneasily with the idea of the assemblage right of the cell tower the the nuclear reactor the virus and the human um so would you think that you know i mean what comes out of this friction between the human centicentricity of the notion of the public and the imagination of infrastructure um and uh so so that kind of interests me uh so when you give those uh the other thing is that of course and this is again coming out of primarily my half understanding of environmental scholarship which is to say that the almost always the way in which uh questions of radiation or virality become political questions are by being transformed into questions of public health rather than in terms of environmental ecology or ambience or virality as such so you know and my hunch is that all the all the visualizations and the mediations that you demonstrate are all at heart centered on the question of human health right so that question and the question of the human non-human entanglement um i'm just you know trying to think with you in where we are going with this kind of an analytical framework thanks but this is of course before i have read your book so maybe much of the questions are irrelevant thank you prathama ravikanth and then hi rao thanks and i'm tempted to read the book sir i want to you know follow in on uh some of the things that veena flagged and the discussion you know continues in that direction uh so how is this you know uh desire also right how does that play a role uh in the entire drama uh our desire for constant upgradation from 2g to 3g to 4g to 5g right and so on so that i think is is is is also a bit of a familiar story just as there's a familiar story in the towers transmission towers uh and you know uh into going into the clouds very much in harmony with nature and bringing the film songs for example into our drawing rooms and those images in cinema so there is a continuity those who want electricity would want it right whether we have you know big dams or not but yes or himalayan tragedies nauseum so but uh so so who uh what is this machine that builds this desire the google search you know results that veena uh you know hinted at uh so so if the management is happening at practically all the levels and across i would say the uh uh you know rational vernacular divide so to speak very crude divide but it is happening across in hindi media also are you very uh this rajasthan patrika example is a very good one that actually there is no uh there is a there is a seamless flow of one kind of image uh what is beneficial to you what would and then this thing that you will lack right because you need uh uh uh all the all the netflix all the ott all the youtube everything you have to have for 5g right so this this there's a kind of there's a kind of whole economy that creates this desire you know uh rendering everything else that belong to past irrelevant including you know concern for a particular way in which you could preserve your health so uh and we have to i compliment you i mean the way you seem to have written the book right we have to find ways of writing uh about these things and i think you've been you are being quite innovative there thank you shauna said uh hi rahul uh thanks that was really lovely talk i also actually read your book fairly closely especially the introduction and the conclusion um the so i my question is connected to the non-human uh aspect that prathama introduced so in the uh in the capacity of the more than human balances of infrastructure so in the two kinds of avian figures that were introduced between the precaution the radioactively precocious peacock and the songbird that is used in the advertisement that you showed it feels like there are two different kinds of invocations of non-human life where in the peacock you have the bird as the sentinel creature that is sounding the bugle on radioactive radioactive capacities going up and on the other hand with the bird there's a different kind of an invocation and i'm particularly interested in the fact that we we now know that uh exclusion zones like chernobyl and fukushima are also places where flora and fauna and megafauna is really flourishing like new kinds of new subspecies of bulls of different kinds of red kites are really flourishing so there is a whole in fact people like machu gandhi and timothy martin have started talking about how the post-apocalyptic scenario of a nuclear sort of event might be beneficial for a large number of megafauna and certain kinds of flora and fauna so how one thinks of this the radiant infrastructure in terms of the through the lens of more than human infrastructure is interesting especially when it feels like between the radioactively precocious peacock and the bird image that you showed in the advertisement uh there's something going on which is interesting yeah i think rahul you can come in if you want to respond to uh if you want to respond yeah uh yeah maybe first to professor uh banerjee's question and i i'm a big fan i've been reading elementary aspects of the political i wish i had read it before so i think you point to something which is uh which is there a kind of tension in the work between using a term like assemblages vis-a-vis using a term like publix and uh certainly that is a tension in the book um but i uh in the kind of science studies literature um there has been a like i think there was also a movement which was more about around assemblages but it became more and more this idea of non-humans being part of publix as a kind of discussion which just became more i don't know it was normalized um one of the ways to think about it is what comes to matter in even constituting things like what michelle callum would say kind of these hybrid forums where different stakeholders come and what can also perhaps matter is is uh are particularly non-human agents or actons in that sense um there's also another kind of writing uh in the in by say marisol de la cadena and others and the kind of indigenous cosmoplastics ring sort of working through civil strangers work which also thinks through what non-humans uh and what part they play in in in public um i was trying to reconcile some kind of discursive um affective um and material registers together and publix because of the kinds of different approaches to publics that were there i could find a way where i could even talk about very discursive contestations and also talk about very aerated atmospheric aspects of publics at the same time so just because there is such a heterogeneous literature on publics that helped because i really wanted to have michael warner's idea of publics in a concept which i could also use to think about thanks to next and kluge in a very different context of at atmospheric uh atmospheric so so partly that is the reason but uh indeed there are tensions and often times i've thought about whether i should use the term publics or assemblages and again there was the same tension between using um between sort of you know thinking about whether i should call it environmental publics or health publics at the same time but because my approach had a lot of ecological aspects to the way i was going about doing the research i i sort of stuck with environmental publics um but yeah but those tensions that you point out are absolutely like spot on their intentions i was trying to reconcile but i can never quite reconcile them um ravi khan's question i think desire is huge and maybe i should have even discussed it more in terms of i think from what you were saying with this you know 2g 3g 4g and as we are waiting for 5g in india or in some cases some places are they've been talking about ultra fast 4g and how there's been an optical fiber cable from you know chennai to the andaman islands archipelago for us for certain kind of ultra fast 4g networks for the first time and i think there is there is something to be said about that and i was also thinking about james ferguson's work around you know who needs electricity who determines electricity should there not be electricity and so why not nuclear power as much as uh many of this kind of paralyzing possibilities as well so so those are there and um and to to shauna's quick question yeah i think we have to think about different kinds of sensitivities and that some of the sensitivities to some of these radiations like different species would be very different and would have it is possible that as much as it could have debilitating effects on some it could have um kind of generative effects for others or though the the whole flourishing flora and fauna i think how much of it is really happening and how um and at what scale is still is still being is still being debatable um so so yeah i mean in the sense that donna harov has always said that you know in a kind of post-apocalyptic situation it's possible that there will not be perhaps humans but other species might still flourish i mean that's that's been the discussion also i guess thanks for all these great and great questions uh thanks rahul there are two questions uh in the chat uh one is himalay and himalay is asking what are the text you quoted about proximities and intimacies i would say the first is your book apart from that you might have i think you may have you quoted a number of texts maybe you can recall that and the second which you could see also is from sandeep martial whom you know so sandeep says you know i really enjoyed the book it opens a different way to look at media proliferations in the indian context apart from being a generative force for new kinds of intermediate formations large-scale proliferation especially of the last couple of uh decades it also shifts the horizon of what is intermedia what is intermediarity i mean what kind of possibilities exist and the ratio of different medial elements in different contexts so he's asking what what is your view of these elements and particularly your capacities to observe them closely or from a dis how is it changed over the years uh and and so he's asking this both in a methodological sense and i think he's going to begin he's doing field work now so it's a kind of student question in that sense and and okay so the book rahul says is animate planet by keith weston okay so so you can get back to something you can you can reply to sundeep others can hear it [Music] yeah um yeah i don't know what's uh what's uh what i mean so as i was writing of course a lot of new writing was appearing so there's a lot of literature in intermediary thinking through uh matthew fuller's work on media ecology uh there's a lot of writing by lisa parks now and thinking about coverage is not just media coverage but but many of the other ways of thinking cross-platform um thinking about different elements uh of course nicole's uh starselski's work over overtime um and um so i was of course thinking about all these things and i and i also um i think some of the reviewers when they read my work uh also mentioned about thinking uh not just about um like a movement not just from text to technologies but also to techniques which has been an important way in which say scholars like john and peters have thought about it so say right now thinking about maybe atmosphere in a different context amid scope at 19 to think about these masks as maybe a particular kind of media but the techniques of breathing uh which can come from many different places um is a kind of technique which which could also find its way into thinking about mediation um at this moment but is not exactly a technology and i was particularly interested to move towards thinking about because i was doing a lot of field work and was also inspired by a lot of work in anthropology around media practices um um so i tried to also push towards this idea of how how the kind of perceptual aspect within a kind of techniques literature which seems sometimes to be too german centric uh in a particular cutlerian way could also be pushed towards thinking about practices and i think others have also certainly done it like brian larkin thinking about radio loudspeaker sound yeah i think if there any other questions okay it's been almost two

Christian Education Defined - Pastor Nathan Tyler
[Music] when i first started working for our church i went to work at the headquarters for the southeast u.s field which at that time was located next to our local church in nashville tennessee now if you turn right out of the church parking lot and follow old hickory boulevard a few traffic lights down you'll find yourself in a place called madison it's about four miles east of the church madison is now a nashville suburb of some forty thousand people but it used to be just a small collection of farms and properties along the cumberland river well it's been over a century ago now that a steamboat came up the river and stopped there at madison two pioneering adventist educators walked down the plank and climbed up the riverbank to inspect one of those farms they hoped to establish an educational institution which would be very different to the established norms but which would be a spectacle to the world and a model of christian education those two men were supported by an important lady named ellen white who was also on the steamboat that day she looked at that property run down and neglected as it was and said this is god's beautiful farm and sure enough madison college did become a spectacle and a model for education which is still being studied and talked about today we'll come back again to the story of madison college but now to the point of our presentation today we want to explore the definition of christian education education as we know is the process of receiving instruction it's learning something for some purpose now for the christian education is defined by jesus in his great commission where he said go and teach or make disciples of all nations in matthew 28 19 those who will follow him become his disciples that is christian education in a nutshell directing and teaching people to follow jesus but what does it mean to follow jesus in order to define christian education we need to understand god's intention for us and so today let's look at god's plan for education how it relates to every aspect of our being and why true christian education is important for the church today when jesus came and he was born here on the earth he demonstrated god's ideal for every person by the way he lived luke chapter 2 tells us in verse 52 that as he grew up jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with god and man the gospel writer here mentions these things because each of them are important wisdom is mental development stature means physical development and favor with god and man indicates spiritual development and a focus on serving others now what does god want for the christian who follows jesus first thessalonians 5 23 says and the very god of peace sanctify you wholly and i pray god your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our lord jesus christ when the apostle prayed for the believers he was thinking about the well-being of the entire person spirit soul and body this means that god is interested in our physical mental and spiritual development this is why when he explains what he wants from us he says and thou shalt love the lord thy god with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind and with all thy strength in the very first paragraph of the book education as it introduces the subject of christian education we find this definition our ideas of education take too narrow and too low a range there is need of a broader scope a higher aim true education means more than the pursual of a certain course of study it means more than a preparation for the life that now is it has to do with the whole being and with a whole period of existence possible to man it is the harmonious development of the physical the mental and the spiritual powers it prepares the student for the joy of service in this world and for the higher joy of wider service in the world to come this paragraph is so profound that the rest of the book is really just an explanation of these seven sentences and this has been our definition of education as adventists for nearly a century and a half when we think about education when we plan for education when we create educational programs when we provide for the education of our own children as parents we need to consider the whole person with this definition of education in front of us how can we be sure that we will have success in our educational endeavors in patriarchs and prophets we read he who created man has provided for his development in body and mind and soul hence real success in education depends upon the fidelity with which men carry out the creator's plan so if we're going to have success it will depend on how well we understand and how well we follow god's plan let's look a little closer then at how god designed education for each aspect of the person physical mental and spiritual to look at how god provided for our physical education and development all we need to do is look at how he arranged the first home genesis 2 15 says and the lord god took the man and put him into the garden of eden to dress it and to keep it this garden of eden was supposed to be the way every person was to live i know that after sin adam and eve had to leave that garden but you know that was never supposed to happen in fact their children were supposed to go out and establish other little edens all over the earth the book education comments on this eden model the system of education instituted at the beginning of the world was to be a model for man throughout all after time as an illustration of its principles a model school was established in eden the home of our first parents the garden of eden was the school room nature was the lesson book the creator himself was the instructor and the parents of the human family were the students seventh-day adventists were counseled to provide opportunities for physical labor in their educational institutions in fact the first thing they should set up was the garden environment notice this from testimonies volume six working the soil is one of the best kinds of employment calling the muscles into action and resting the mind study in agricultural lines should be the a b and c of the education given in our schools this is the very first work that should be entered upon our schools should not depend upon imported produce for grain and vegetables and the fruits so essential to health our youth need an education in filling trees and tilling the soil as well as in literary lions daily systematic labor should constitute a part of the education of youth there's something that happens when you learn to work with your hands the book education tells us this practical work encourages close observation and independent thought rightly performed it tends to develop that practical wisdom which we call common sense it develops ability to plan and execute strengthens courage and perseverance and calls for the exercise of tact and skill i have heard that you can't teach common sense but that's not quite true by giving students the opportunity to work with their hands and solve real life practical problems they can actually develop common sense and this is so important that another testimony comments saying this if schools had been established upon the plan we have mentioned there would not now be so many unbalanced minds this is why madison college was established on a farm the first thing they did was to develop industries which eventually grew to include a vegetable farm orchards a dairy a bakery a health food factory and a sanitarium students would study in the morning and work in these industries in the afternoon this meant they were gaining real world experience and also at the same time working to support their own way through college in a statement about madison college written in 1908 the spirit of prophecy said the school at madison not only educates in a knowledge of the scriptures but it gives a practical training that fits the student to go forth as a self-supporting missionary to the field to which he is called in his student days he has taught how to build simply and substantially how to cultivate the land and care for the injured this training for medical missionary work is one of the grandest objects for which any school can be established if many more in other schools were receiving a similar training we as a people would become a spectacle to the world to angels and to men the message would quickly be carried to every country and souls now in darkness would be brought to the light the time is soon coming when god's people because of persecution will be scattered in many countries those who have received an all-round education will have the advantage where they are the lord reveals divine wisdom and thus leading his people to the training of all their faculties and capabilities for the work of disseminating truth i find this statement fascinating because it reveals what the missionary of the future will need to be like and that they're going to need an all-round education including practical knowledge and physical capability to build and repair things to grow food and care for the sick and injured god's people have been slow to follow all this advice on practical education seems like it's too simple yet too revolutionary for us to trust that this is what god wants us to do but there's more because we must develop the mind in christian education as well we usually think of god's work for us in spiritual terms but what he does for our mind is important too look at the new covenant promise in hebrews 8 verse 10 for this is the covenant that i will make with the house of israel after those days saith the lord i will put my laws into their mind and write them in their hearts and i will be to them a god and they shall be to me a people what power is in the word in hebrews 4 12 for the word of god is quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit and of joints and marrow and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart in recent years i have discovered what i call the google problem now i've used several of the early internet search engines including altavista and yahoo if you're old enough to remember them and it was always a struggle to find what you were looking for but then a little company called google came along and changed search forever here's what they did they created an algorithm that aims to find what you want and present it to you within the top three search results so even if there are millions of documents returned by most searches people started finding what they wanted easily but now with such a resource in the palm of your hand something strange starts happening to your brain you stop remembering things and your brain starts expecting that answers will come quickly and easily but the bible is not like that the bible requires digging not browsing matthew 13 44 says again the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field the which when a man hath found he hideth and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath and buyeth that field now this is talking about surrendering all but it applies as much to the principle that the truth does not lay on the surface but is there to be found by those who will study diligently who will dig for it success in life requires a lot of effort toward a constant goal it requires you not to get distracted by everything that comes along people's minds today are not as geared for that and so we need to rescue our minds and the minds of our children by exercising our minds on deep and difficult problems bible study requires this kind of focus it requires us to search as it says in isaiah 28 verse 10 for precept must be upon precept precept upon precept line upon line line upon line hear a little and there a little it takes effort as it says in romans there's always more to discover oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of god how unsearchable are his judgments and his ways past finding out and on this christ's object lessens comments saying this sharp clear perceptions of truth will never be the reward of indolence no earthly blessing can be obtained without earnest patient persevering effort it is essential for old and young not only to read god's word but to study it with wholehearted earnestness praying and searching for truth as for hidden treasure so bible study is not just about finding information as you search for answers as you wrestle with hard questions you are rewiring your brain for messages to young people we find a couple of statements along this line the grand subjects upon which the bible treats the dignified simplicity of its inspired utterances the elevated themes which it presents to the mind the light sharp and clear from the throne of god enlightening the understanding will develop the powers of the mind to an extent that can scarcely be comprehended and never fully explained that's pages 254 and 255. and it says the bible is not just a collection of spiritual teachings but by deep study it enhances our mental ability the mind will enlarge if it is employed in tracing out the relation of the subjects of the bible comparing scripture with scripture and spiritual things with spiritual that's page 262. down at madison college there were no sports fields there was no entertainment as such but students had time to study the bible to pray to meditate and to engage in activities which were beneficial this prepared them for the responsibilities of real life wherever life would take them so just to recap here we want a bible-based curriculum searching the word mental discipline and freedom from the distractions of entertainment now as we nurture the physical and the mental development there is that third aspect of education to consider the spiritual nature psalm 51 6 says behold thou desirous truth in the inward parts and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom god wants his word to be such a part of us that it becomes part of our life look at this counsel to parents and other educators in deuteronomy chapter 6 verses 5 to 7 and thou shalt love the lord thy god with all thine heart and with all thy soul and with all thy might and these words which i command thee this day shall be in thine heart and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children and shall talk of them when thou sittest in thine house and without walketh by the way and when thou liest down and when thou risest up now as we feast on god's word what does the holy spirit do second corinthians 3 18 says but we all with open face be holding as in a glass the glory of the lord are changed into the same image from glory to glory even as by the spirit of the lord so the holy spirit takes god's word that that word that exercises our mind and the holy spirit through that medium actually transforms our nature changes us into the same image as that which we are studying counselors to parents teachers and students tells us many are the benefits derived from feasting on his word which is represented by him as his flesh and blood his spirit and life by partaking of this word our spiritual strength is increased we grow in grace and in a knowledge of the truth habits of self-control are formed and strengthened the infirmities of childhood fretfulness willfulness selfishness hasty words passionate acts disappear and in their place are developed the graces of christian manhood and womanhood how does the holy spirit achieve this through the word of god if we look deeper this statement from the desire of ages tells us more as they feed upon his word they find that it is spirit and life the word destroys the natural earthly nature and imparts a new life in christ jesus the holy spirit comes to the soul as a comforter by the transforming agency of his grace the image of god is reproduced in the disciple he becomes a new creature so as we study the truth it has the capacity to transform our nature and this is what education is about it is not just about information it's about an experience it's about receiving the truth so the study of the truth is more than just filling your mind with those facts it's about developing that experience and jesus said therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine and doeth them i will liken him unto a wise man which built his house upon a rock and the spirit of prophecy declares this the highest education will be that which will teach our children and youth our teachers and educators the science of christianity that will give them an experimental knowledge of god's ways impart to them the lessons which christ gave to his disciples of the paternal character of god this means both knowing and doing it's not just information but having an experimental knowledge actually doing what we read and experiencing changes in our life so in order for us to start on this journey what do we need to be willing to do john 7 17 says if any man will do his will he shall know of the doctrine whether it be of god or whether i speak of myself if we are willing to obey god as he said if any man will do his will and we surrender to what he reveals to us then we will really know the truth therefore what is the goal of true education it must be to know the truth and live the truth the apostle wrote for this cause i bow my knees unto the father our lord jesus christ of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named that he would grant you according to the riches of his glory to be strengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man that christ may dwell in your hearts by faith that ye being rooted and grounded in love may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height and to know the love of christ which passeth knowledge that ye might be filled with all the fullness of god god wants us to be filled with his fullness and to know his love this means he wants us to become like him quoting from the book education again higher than the highest human thought can reach is god's ideal for his children godliness god-likeness is the goal to be reached you see as we develop knowledge of the great truths of the bible we come into touch with the eternal john 17 3 says and this is life eternal that they might know thee the only true god in jesus christ whom thou has sent how do we respond to this knowledge this knowledge of god and of jesus christ as we get to know him something happens as it says in first john 4 19 we love him because he first loved us when we know that god loves us we love him back does this remind you of the two great commandments and jesus answered him the first of all the commandments is hear o israel the lord our god is one lord and thou shalt love the lord thy god with all thy heart with all thy soul and with all thy mind and with all thy strength this is the first commandment and the second is like namely this thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself there is none other commandment greater than these love is the principle from which true education draws its basis and motivation the book education again says love the basis of creation and of redemption is the basis of true education the law of love calls for the devotion of body mind and soul to the service of god and our fellow men and this service while making us a blessing to others brings the greatest blessing to ourselves unselfishness underlies all true development through unselfish service we receive the highest culture of every faculty more and more fully do we become partakers of the divine nature we are fitted for heaven for we receive heaven into our hearts this is why jesus taught differently this is why he was different he was full of love he loved to serve people he loved people and when we become like that we are ready for heaven when we love god and we love to serve others and this is why the students from madison college were very different they went all over the world establishing missions work serving the needs of others growing the church and all the while supporting themselves in doing it they were self-supporting workers so just to recap education encompasses physical mental and spiritual development when we learn to love god and how to serve him with all our powers and all our talents and we learn to love our fellow human beings then we are prepared to serve the lord as he intended and we're prepared to fulfill that great commission to go and make disciples of all nations what is lacking the most in today's world the book education says it's the very well-known statement the greatest want of the world is the want of men men who will not be bought or sold men who in their inmost souls are true and honest men who do not fear to call sin by its right name men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall you may recognize this well-known statement but it continues but such a character is not the result of accident it is not due to special favors or endowments of providence a noble character is the result of self-discipline of the subjection of the lower to the higher nature the surrender of self for the service of love to god and man and in 1905 the book ministry of healing stated this the world needs today what it needed 1900 years ago a revelation of christ a great work of reform is demanded and it is only through the grace of christ that the work of restoration physical mental and spiritual can be accomplished you can see here that the world needs a restoration of physical mental and spiritual so people need this work of christian education to be extended to them as well and so what are we waiting for education says this with such an army of workers as our youth rightly trained might furnish how soon the message of a crucified risen and soon coming savior might be carried to the whole world how soon might the end come the end of suffering and sorrow and sin we certainly need an army of youth today you know what the youth are longing to do something for god now is the time for education to have a greater place in our work as a church the spirit of prophecy says now is never before we need to understand the true science of education if we fail to understand this we shall never have a place in the kingdom of god this is quite a serious statement even though it was written many years ago i think it's still true god's people need to take another look and ask ourselves do we understand the true science of education this has to be done before we can fulfill the commission of jesus the spirit of prophecy says before we can carry the message of present truth and all its fullness to other countries we must first break every yoke we must come into the line of true education walking in the wisdom of god and not in the wisdom of the world god calls for messengers who will be true reformers we must educate educate to prepare a people who will understand the message and then give the message to the world this is our work today and i'm excited about what god can do when we catch the vision of what is possible when we work in the way that he has asked us to do one day when i drove down the street where the old madison college used to be i noticed a historical marker it was put there to commemorate the history of the college and while that plaque is all that's left of the college at madison tennessee the principles of madison live on in the hearts of those who choose to understand them now you might want to read the story for yourself if so pick up this book god's beautiful farm and for more on the philosophy of education take a look at studies in christian education by e.a sutherland he was one of the founders of madison college in north america you can contact reformation herald and in the pacific we have both of these in stock here at our bookshop in sydney and so what is christian education it is the development of the whole person it is an experience in spiritual things and in practical things which enables us to be as useful as possible to the people around us and most importantly prepares us to take our place in the heavenly home and it is my hope that we may personally develop and grow in this type of education and as a church make better efforts to provide such an education for our children in our youth on behalf of the general conference education department thank you for watching and may god richly bless you you

No Man's Sky Quicksilver Weekend Mission Running NMS With Chums Construct An Outpost
well i'll do that people in the zeit captain steve and yes i'm joined with bobby today how are you doing bobby hey guys how are you doing yeah i'm not doing sponsor not doing so bad so we're not going to be joined by kettle today because he's got stuck in traffic in london and we're not going to be joined by wolfie iva or if he was feeling a little under the weather so hopefully he would get a speed recovery and we'll see him next week you're doing good though aren't you bobby yeah doing good sweet hours excellent right well we're just waiting for the weekend mission to pop bobby what do you think the weekend mission is going to be this week the house floor what the hell has this flora right okay i'll just make sure my mic's okay sounds good awesome well we've got a wharfy inside of the chat though thank you for joining wolfie and uh hello dr bong welcome dr pog right now so if you go for hazardous flora i'm gonna go for hunt dangerous pirates i'm gonna i'm gonna wish that it's my favorite one this week i'm hoping it's not dangerous pirates it's probably going to be unearth ancient bones or whatever isn't it but i'm going to go and since there's only two of us shall we have two guesses i'm going to go for ancient bones and pirates so you've already got hazardous flora what's your second guess um [Music] life on stranded life form right yeah dr ponga said stranded life form as well we've got miyogi in the house mr miyogi and i should be doing the bake off tomorrow at six i have promised to take my partner antique shopping so we're going to go around a load of antique shops tomorrow hopefully we'll be well back in time for our bake off i haven't sorted out a bake i might do an ice cream i'm not too sure okay and we've got um katarine w hello well hello there catherine w awesome yeah we've got a lot of salutes going on a lot of hellos to one another well hello hello moose gaming says crash pilots that's the stranded life form as well so there's a couple of stranded life forms in the chat doesn't know at the moment yeah i would do a poll but you only get like four things that you can type in so yeah there's a fair few missions other than that but it hasn't popped yet it's now four minutes past oh there it is it's there now right out i'm going to go and have a look what it is it's constructing outpost again yeah that was last week's exact week yeah okay let's go construct an outpost bobby let's build something amazing okay here we go yeah fun times freaking same as last week but i bet it's even the same planet isn't it let's go see let's go see if it is this could be fun couldn't it yeah hello yeah yeah it's um shiny red flags in the house as well hello there shiny red flag yeah i'm just gonna wire glitch it all in dr pong if that needs glass and stuff yeah build a work of art it's not going to happen it's not i mean you've got to build using the parts they tell you you know what it'd be better if they said to build a base that's 30 parts or 50 parts or something like that it actually gives you a part count and they let you build what you want but right now they just tell you to put down a biodome put down four lights put down it it's not really where's the creativity in that you know i should just let you build whatever you want with a certain amount of bass parts i guess the only worry then is people would just put down a load of flags or something 50 odd flags wouldn't they you know 50 decades yeah yeah it it it's it could be fun it could be fun but it's it's it's not is it all right let's head on down then i thought that was you bobby it's not there's like a little white ship there i don't know what's going on there all right well you're able to see my my marker anyway i'm going to touch down next to these lovely trees i should do sweet there you go yeah just head towards me you're still on playstation 4 aren't you so your loading time's a bit longer cooler well i put down the base computer but i wait till you get here before i claim the base area hopefully we can build together this is quite a lovely planet though lovely green grass blue skies some budgie regards flying around nice there you are little budgies let's scan those scan damn you budges there you go we've got some budgets may um boy egg oh you've got a void egg have you yeah no i made one okay what um kevin kevin does without the the grass water shiny's shiny red flag says dear captain when you say shiny is in the house could you at least sound pleased what shiny you walked in just as we picked up exactly the same mission as last week my disappointment wasn't with you shiny it's with this bricking mission yes having you here makes it a little bit better yes actually marginally better marginally yeah a little bit marginally but yeah yeah there you go oh check out this new top i got people check this out yes it's freaking gundam well well gunnam yeah there's a battle angel elite freaking light battle angel lolita even the remake of battle the angel elite is awesome but yeah massive fan of the original anime okay come on everyone rejoice shinee has arrived yeah you know what hold on one second shiny let's uh let's give shiny a proper welcome quickly because yeah that was a bit shy wasn't it shiny red flag is in the house shiny shiny red flag there you go how's that right i've claimed the base we can now start building here we go and uh yeah we've got to put down a bio dome bobby i'm going to stick that right there because that looks good there we are that is fantastic doesn't it um need a door got no options for the building you can put the door on three sides of the biodome but you can't put it on this one the six o'clock position is buggered so they still haven't fixed all all of the clipping and weirdness that's going on with base building let's odd that now what have i got to build go on let's know what's next what's next what are we going to build next what is it what do we got build two straight corridors is the straight corridor behind my head it is isn't it there it is okay right but that i can build this way isn't that weird that is weird can i build it all the other ways as well yeah i can put it there i can put it there it's just the door that you can't put there okay fine just bizarre you got um build biome okay let's see yeah you got the um the building pushes in on oh now it's all off oh building permissions sorry bobby yes one second network uh you can build bass parts and delete bass parts there we go friends only there you are you should be able to do it now okay there you go give it a go yeah yeah you can do it yeah sweet boom well i think we're nearly done this i mean this is looking wonderful we've got to build what six biofuel reactors why okay all right that's just bizarre isn't it all right wrong menu yeah i um firebioth reactors done right livestock feeders what the heck that sucks all right well that that's not going to be easy to build because that needs poly fiber who's got poly fiber no one not me no well i put one down anyway did you manage to put one down too yeah yeah auto feeder you're just glitching them in either yeah yeah same yeah let's just stick them everywhere there we go now what now what do we gotta do is that it is that it have we finished near while up oh okay fun times i've got wires everywhere now because i've glitched them all over the stupid place okay yeah snap direct yeah cool we've done that then let's go stick some stuff in there let's see if that does the trick then i'm gonna use some of my blinking materials oh yeah done snap wires are parts along the ground to lay down interim path automated power supply place electrical well we've done that we've we've done it they've all got they've got power up for power yeah i just i connected fire dumps too oh for fudge like have you done that yeah nice yeah all right and it's still not working is it oh we've got zayn in the house well hello there zane welcome welcome i don't think i've seen you in one of my live streams right it's lovely to have you here zayn welcome welcome yeah we're doing this we're doing the weekend mission and it's build an outpost again just the same as last week in fact i should get that um portal address for r uh for henry rice there you go henry rice stand in the bottom left corner there for you henry sweet didn't give you it last week and this isn't working too well because it's not letting us do this is it right you know what i'm gonna i'm gonna choose something i'm just gonna delete a load of these things because it's not registering that we've blanking done it it's probably because we've got loose ends somewhere and there's loose ends everywhere no balls all right fine should we just should we give up right it's not working is it let's let's just upload bass and see if that works no this hasn't worked all right fine we're just deleted blasted thing then um let's delete some of these bits might be able to start over and now we've got all the base parts it's not letting me delete anything oh there we go now it is now saying my inventory is full infantry is full inventories for [ __ ] fudge this right okay goodbye base and goodbye mission that doesn't work properly delete base yeah we've deleted it yeah ah sorry i'm usually busy around this time on a friday but saw your stream and had to pop in well thank you very much zane it's freaking awesome to have you here it's lovely to have you here sir really is i guess but that mission wasn't working we connected all the wires like it said that it did but um no return base to continue construction no i'd rather not because yeah we wired it all in it said that it wasn't wired in so yeah sought that blinking mission right so that's the weekend mission this week people is there's um fun yeah go yeah or i'll just we could try and restore the base but let's let's see if it it continues from where we got to where we have to start all over again let's give one go let's see if that works now let's just see if we've just got to connect a wire to something that sucks yeah cool switch yeah he's not even here isn't it it's his fault definitely is yeah okay let's just try that again biodome construct a freaking door all right well there's the door now the door thing is weird where you can't put it on all sides it's this this side you can't put it on you put it on that side which is odd two straight corridors right two straight corridors one two yeah buckle my shoe another biodome yeah there done right buy a few reactors right so it won't six i might be able to put down six now let's see if i can one two three four five and six so i haven't glitched anything in this time let's see if it works without glitching right livestock feeder and automatic feeder right okay let me see if i can do this without putting any wires in the ground so this is one okay cool i've managed to do that automatic feeder oh yep okay right let me see if i can get rid of that pipe maybe a second let me get rid of that pipe bosh okay right so there's no pipes there's no sort of cables in the ground now let's just wire all these to blinking together let's see if it works then i bet it don't maybe not and if it doesn't then i think we give up don't we yeah that's uh let's put one of those ah you get okay you've also got to wire in the bio dome you said as well so yeah okay right now let's put bio fuel mass in one of the tanks so we go i put in some oxygen i don't want to use a lot and it's not enough to power everything so there we go put some in there do you want to put some in some of these as well there we go i think we've got enough power now right okay now it's worked so i can now upload the base it must have been because there was bits of wire underneath the ground and it was registering that we hadn't connected it all together oh yeah yeah brilliant i'll play bass there we go there we are people we managed to do the mission hooray for us brilliant cool best bass ever just out of the blue i like to like a new mission on a weekend which we haven't done before yeah i was hoping maybe they might add in photography ones or something it'd be quite cool if they said you know take a picture of something and then when you get up you could maybe have your pictures compared to one another's how's your laptop been holding up cap it was probably notable uh yeah um well my um my laptop is just there there it is there there we are there's an alienware laptop and uh yeah it's very nice very cool i just use it to purchase my webcam on top of to be honest at the moment i've done a few little podcasting ones and i enjoy doing those so here we go let's um delete that base then we've already i've did i did i have to upload it first have we already uploaded it i don't know no no i'd delete it it just says return to nexus now so i think we're done yeah so there's a lot that i want to do with the laptop in future zane i want to start doing some podcasty type shows but more around gaming in general like fantasy style games games that i've got my eye on i've done one i've done one podcast already but i want to do a few more of those all right okay let's head to the nexus let's go grab our quicksilver bobby corney how's your laptop been holding up cab was it properly noticeable yeah the laptop is going good it installed an update the other day for the bios for alienware and the fans all came on during the bios update it was freaking scary it went freaking mental i thought it was going to take off pretty tropical must been for the overclocking i don't know well cheers bobby just saw you put in the chat and there's a adam mack with his donuts talking of donuts i went to a place called tim hortons today we've just had a tim's horton arrive in northampton's yes i went there it's like a little takeaway place it's freaking nice you're doing this ps5 share factory uh this this is just broadcast this is just the playstation broadcast functions i haven't wired it in yet through my pc and done all that capture card stuff i haven't done that yet um i do two separate type streams so we get a complete mission done hello there good a game ahoy quick like from work well thank you very much they're good at games that's the most smash so yeah let's see if we can drop a link to a few people again boom yeah tim hortons was proper nice thank you wolfie for doing loads of links for us as well as most kind of you sir yeah so tim hortons they do doughnuts as well so i got some tim bits yes i've got a box of tim bits nice i had a burger it was a cheese and bacon burger it was freaking handsome it was really nice they're canadian named after a famous hockey player oh okay well i didn't know that i knew it was canadian because it's got a big canadian like leaf on the outside wall of the place but yeah i had no idea he was a hockey player right so we've got our quicksilver i'm just going to go and make a quick save by jumping in and out of my ship what quicksilver mission is next bobby if there is one agent agent bones ancient bones right well my inventory is full how about yours um i think i found carol yeah yeah that kettle he likes filling people's inventories up doesn't it yeah my shirt is almost empty yeah your ship's almost empty is it uh my my ship is full and my inventory is fairly full i've got loads of heroics in my ship you actually get a hair rocks from killing pirates you know that that previous mission where we needed heroics to get off the planet now we've got an abundance of this bloody stuff yeah so ancient bones i don't know whether i can be asked to dig up ancient bones because i've done it so many bloody times yeah so let's have a look at the quick silver agent let's see if we're close to unlocking this last decal and see how we're going from there so we go collect quicksilver items it's a tier three we're on 62 percent it's moving rather slowly i do like the milk one though it does look kind of nice i wonder if that first bit says gek because it's only three letters and then the last bit says milk probably does doesn't it yeah could do one hair ox can give you 750 silver heck yeah yeah it's not bad for making silver if you're going to be building out with your freighter it's quite good to sort of merge down into the silver but other than that not really not really no all right well do you want to do you want to go do ancient bones it might be on a good planet should we go see at least what planet it is let's go and have a look see if there's anything good we can always just throw some stuff oh it's rescue stranded bloody lifeform now it's changed okay well let's go and have a look see what planet that's on then initialized mission we'll jump on in and uh let's let's let's go for this and let's let's go and rescue a stranded platform right where's my ship there it is over there has um pt doing i haven't spoken to pt for ages i keep sending him dms on twitter but um he keeps sort of i know what he does but he doesn't reply so yeah i've asked him if you want to do the nexus lounge over the christmas period and he didn't reply so i just did my own podcast i'm not seeing him screaming here no no i don't know with no man's sky being quite quiet maybe he's just taking a bit of a break for a while i mean i've been playing dragons dogma and playing other games at the moment with without the expedition being a re-run the previous it's quite good for new players but i would have said most new players would have got no man's sky maybe for christmas or something you know yeah and then they fire it up go to use the expedition the only one they're gonna see right now is the worm one they're not gonna be able to see all the others that were pretty darn sweet so i don't know it just feels a bit weird a bit weird a bit of an odd thing i think maybe in between expeditions because sometimes there can be a good couple of weeks before another expedition fires up maybe just put up the choice of expeditions that you can run in between so if you have missed one you can just run one of the previous ones rather than do it over the christmas break but maybe they've done it just to give themselves a bit of a breather so they can focus on bringing out another content drop yeah not really sure if this is content yet creative yet uh no no it's a bit of an odd one this isn't it kill walker i just can't find any data anywhere forbidden well it's taking way too long i have no idea what you're on about though kill walker navigational data oh okay the navigational data so navigational data even if you go to any other building type so say if you landed an abandoned building you know the little save masts that are there if you hit one of those you're going to get navigational data or if you go into the station and use the teleport and go back to every single station that you've been in just go over to all the little blue and orange cubes as well pick those up and the round ones too yeah and the little hockey puck looking things they give you navigational data or even on the starting planet that you start on if you do a scan with your analysis fiber i think it's either a two star or three star or one star thingy that pops up but there's loads of nav data on the actual planet themselves so yeah okay with this planet it's horrible so it's such a black and white chromatic planet i'm trying to interact with this traveler dude oh there you go just let me know brilliant hello there stranded live lifeform okay just told me to leave what have we got to get for the chap okay we've got somebody else that's joined our party as well now as well yeah okay um right well i don't like the planet i can't see any bloody markers there's a there's one there's one why isn't my sweep scanner picking these blasted things up either oh now it is now it's deciding to bloody work there's one right next to me 20 years away come on be it that'd be nice right here we go train manipulator yes rare item found corrupted sentinel detected analysis let's see if we get it what was that bobby that's some no that's not cryptid and didn't work right about one in ten trade terminals sell nav data yes that's another thing yeah um the galactic trade terminals can sell them i often find the ones that do either in abandoned systems or maybe at the minor settlements minor settlements seem to sell them but not in vast quantities but yeah the first planet that's where i got all mine from i found a whole stack of them just in the wild just on these little pedestals now i've got about 12 on the first planet that i started on which is quite nice i'm going to go and just dig this out grab that and see if that one works i think bob has had to pop off for a second scan i think that click that we heard earlier was you know him going on mute or something sweet yeah they aren't spawning in stations red boxes not given say but those say things didn't realize that yeah any sort of little beacon type thing then you save beacon they give you one nav data each time you hit one up so even if you have swapped them for maps still fly to all the icons and you can clear them all down and get a load more nav data if you run out the only thing is is the way that the maps work now is they're trying to find you one of a different kind if you're looking for a large archive though i actually built a base at a giant archive during this expedition so i gave the coordinates i think on my second to last video or the yeah second to last video so episode four in my playlist for emergence i think i give a base location at a giant colossal archive so if you're really really really stuck as long as you've got to expedition four and that system you should be able to find to my base because i give the exact coordinates on any platform and hit it up and i've actually called the base colossal archive as well so it's quite easy to find yeah i think it's a minor settlement to archives at a rate of like one to five super rarely trading place to any rate of system or economy yes zane has done all the freaking numbers on this stuff so he's quite good at knowing exactly what you're going to find and where you're going to find it um yeah right well i can't find this there's no more blinking icons now appearing for me and to be honest this is not a nice planet it's definitely not a nice blinking mission so yeah it's it's one of those isn't it really now where are you icons i mean i like the mushrooms i just don't like the color i mean look it's not really color is it it's it's kind of just darkness yeah gone back in time to black and white times what the hell what the heck's that icon what is that that red i've not seen that happen before odd okay oh how we are we done reached it looks like the other player that was with us had managed to crack it freaking awesome nice one oh that was handy having them with us i was about to give up okay and now i can't tell whether i can call my ship or not because uh it's not going to go a different color is it there we go so it's red state red state red state and then it works cool hello bobby you're back hello all right how are you doing deborah hey hello debra how you doing thank you for the christmas card as well deborah much appreciated you thank you for the business card you're welcome you're welcome sweet cool okay i traded the understanding of people for the understanding of numbers at birth well it was a good trade zayn yes yes if you haven't checked out zayn's world and zane's channel his videos that he does on refining and he's afraid to set up okay freaking awesome videos love you bye deborah love you too so these are what i'm on about these save charts to see if i hit this yeah um you watch i'd get a navigational data pop out of here in a second or should and see if it pops up in the top right corner there you go one navigational data there you go it gives you navigational data heck yes it does right where are we supposed to upload this blasted thing then i'm getting shot by these corrupted sentinels but they're not doing me any damage it doesn't really matter defeat the drones all right okay i've got to kill them then i was going to make friends with them okay fine die because the game says you've got to die hold on let me reload then i'll kill you there you go now i kill you so i don't think they're actually doing me any damage are they at all it's not affecting me i can't see an energy bar going down anywhere people can you i don't think i'm gonna die they don't seem to be bothering me so yeah i think we do need an additional challenging game when corrupted sentinels just sort of you know they don't do anything sweet pop awesome we've got that no problem zane so zayn also done the hullabaloo the holiday hullabaloo the other day so he was doing lots of bass tours and some of the bass tours inside of his hollow balloon were [ __ ] awesome oh is that what we've got to interact with this that's stuck in the bloody wall oh okay well that's gonna be fun isn't it all right it's locked at the moment yeah i guess we've got to kill all these sentinels right fine let me add them where are they oh they're up here as well aren't they they're all over the blinking shop where are they there's one take that and yeah hold on i gotta reload and then i kill you god still foxy kill die there we are done um yeah and die look at the heck there's quite a lot of them bye how many we got left loads of them take that all right got him there's one freaking die okay it's hard to see them because there's a black and white blinking world isn't it yeah right that one's just not dying okay you've got it awesome i think that's all of them right let's interact with this terminal before it before we get more turn up sweet i can't i haven't got it who's got it i think he he does yeah pauline you're gonna have to do it go on falling you can do it cause you're all yours i'm gonna raid these canisters yeah you need to stand on it and then interact with it it's it's not the easiest there you go she's done it i say she i mean pauline is a lady's name isn't it boom i'm just nicking all these nanites because nobody else seems to want them now nights for me now nights for me lovely lovely now nights yeah that's the night song created by captain steve right here right now take that who likes nanites i like nanettes okay there's another corrupted sentinel take that corrupted oh there's a normal sentinel sorry sentinel i think we just made him angry yeah shite okay right well let's get out of here let's go yeah oh we've got to now deliver it to the stranded life form hopefully paulie oh it's paul lee paul lee t it could be it could be a guy could be a gal who knows but they are paulie team i do have a cup of tea yeah i just i wish i'm doing iva's son is now covered free he's positive he's um proven negative now so that's good so that's all cool yeah i'm still getting my weird side effects from my first jab still though me so i still haven't had the second job i've had a second job today and i'm still a refuse nick um i've had the first job so i'm not an anti-vaxxer but i refuse to get a second jab just because the way the first jab made me feel and you know i'm definitely not anti-vaccination because i honestly do believe that stem cell research and mnra technology and nanotechnology is the way that we're going to one day beat cancer so yeah definitely not against it but at the same time he just didn't agree with me and trying to get my doctor to agree that it was to do with the vaccine as frickin impossible so i don't know what i'm going to have to do i'm worried if i get it get the second one i'm gonna drop down bloody dead though the way i felt i had heart palpitations and all sorts of shite i can't give it to this guy either we're gonna have to wait for pauline to come and oh there we go they're here already this is great this is good awesome lots of work and time to go past me dr bong i also want okay nice cool oh we've got nitrates in the house hello knight tracer we've got power yapper here as well hello there hello there corey i want the night song on my beat box hmm i could probably jazz up that night song a little bit more that's uh i can't remember how it goes now no no it's not nights everyone likes nine nights night nights in your pockets nights there you go there we are that's the night song the new version yes the remix remix right let's get up into the nexus then let's go i had stem cells shot oh really into my knee expensive but great treatment recommend i didn't know they were doing stems i thought it was still sort of like top secret hush hush we only gonna stick it in guinea pigs type affair at the moment that's good to hear that it's off the shelf and into people's knees this is good awesome i got fully vaxxed okay but it played heck on my neuropathy okay i'm hoping it heals back up well i don't even know what that is but neuro is usually for head isn't it so well i hope you get well already on for me it gave me the symptoms of long covid i honestly think that when i went to get my vaccination i picked up frickin covid at the same time because i felt i felt horrendous for a good two weeks and then i felt horrendous but milder for a good like four to five months i actually went for an mri scan and all sorts of stuff i'm still getting the headaches they go from the back of my neck across the top of my ear and to my right temple and they just affect my right eye socket they're really weird headaches i put ice packs on my head and that seems to get rid of them headache tablets do nothing it almost feels like it's blood related or something i have no idea what's causing these headaches i spoke to my doctor he sent me for the mra mri shows freaking nothing um i've gone for blood tests blood tests have come back totally fine so i have no idea what it is neither does the doctor and i'm saying well is it to do with a vaccine he's he won't be he won't give me an exemption to say that i don't need to have the second vaccine there's no freaking way i'm having a second one if you can't work out what's wrong with me and the only these symptoms started a day after i had my vaccine yeah if it is freaking coincidence tell me what it is because until you can tell me what it is i'm not trusting the freaking jab again i mean it just didn't work for me it worked for millions of other people but there is always going to be an exception to that rule and i'm one of those exceptions i'm never bloody straightforward so there we go but yeah are you allowed to talk about this stuff on the social i'll probably end up with getting this stream taken down we're talking about this but there we are oh wow that's awful i just felt super tired and my right arm was sore for about about a day yeah see my friend darren he was the same as you zayn he he just felt like that he just felt like he had a little bit of a cold coming on then it cleared up after two days me i i've had lingering effects like long covered type effects for months i still got it now so it's i'm still not 100 right and i every morning i wake up i've got a stupid cough that is there till about 10 and after i eat i get a stupid cough as well and i'm getting a lot more acid reflux as well maybe it's just coincidental or maybe the vaccine triggered something that was dormant in me i don't know how i'd have no idea could it be stress i've had a lot of issues related to that many physical symptoms i don't think it's stress i don't really do stress i'm probably the most laid back person in the world most of the time you know i don't i don't really i i'd like to hope i'm not um i've had real stressful moments in my life but i wouldn't say now is one of those in fact i quite enjoy the way the way the world is to some degree because i'm not the most sociable when it comes to real life here i think it's great you know this is this is great for me i'm i'm getting more social interaction than what i've ever had to be fair i'm actually i'm actually really quite jolly to be i don't think it's stress yeah me too my metabolism is so far different okay my second job was sora um but my booster has given me the shortness of breath and cough see that's how i feel pooky yes who knows who knows i reported it on the yellow card reporting system there's a little box on that yellow card reporting system it says do you want to report this to your gp i took that box i said yes please sent the gp then when i phoned my gp i said yes you should have it i sent it over on the yellow card reporting system it was like sorry what's the yellow card reporting system he didn't even know what the yellow card reporting system was i had to explain it to him and then he said no i didn't get on the yellow card reporting system anyhow so then i went to my mp and said look this is stupid why haven't you tied these applications together why is the yellow card reporting system not linked to the nhs app uh they said no that we're not we're not gonna do that we're not really looking into the unit the um uh the adverse effects type stuff until we've got more data there and you don't want to improve this vaccine fine all right great um yeah oddness very odd the whole thing is odd but there we go that's where we are but now i'm healing up ill by little and um little by little my electric ability my what my electric abilities is back and fm i have i i'm struggling to understand what that means and i am up in near my no i don't have yeah i can't understand what you're getting out there right you want to be fair yeah little by little my electric ability is back and my fn and am ems up am i near a radio okay so radios seem to affect you that's a bit odd i've heard that 5g can affect people but i think that's conspiracy theory circles again now and yeah it's a tricky one there's a lot of people flying by the seat of their pants with covid i have my fingers crossed for us all shiny yeah same i mean because i've had these adverse effects i've been searching to find out whether there's other people that have had adverse effects and i think i have scared myself into not having a second job through some of the things that i have found on sites that you shouldn't really go to because that's the only place i can find information it's not like you can go into the yellow card reporting system and find out who's had adverse effects because they don't publish it it's it's really difficult for somebody that's had adverse effects to find legitimate non-misinformation and also to get the help that they need without coming across like they're some sort of anti-vaxxer or conspiracy theories which i do like conspiracies to be honest i love the hollow earth conspiracy theory if you haven't looked into the hollow earth conspiracy theory it's freaking awesome basically in a nutshell it is what it sounds like the earth is actually hollow and um the reason i like it is there's a folktale over in england called the green children of woolpit google it and take a read so basically back in the 1400s there was these two childrens found in the little town of woolpit and their skin was bright green and uh they spoke a different dialect that no one could understand and they would only eat greens they wouldn't eat anything that wasn't green it's mental the little boy little girl and uh they got adopted because they couldn't find their parents or anything like that and they slowly learnt english and when they did learn english they said that they came from the land of saint martins where it was bathed in perpetual sunlight and they came to england through a cave complex and they got lost in caves before they came out into this world where we have night time they didn't know what night time was the boy sadly died but the woman the girl went on to become a woman she got married she had kids of her own and after a good many years her skin actually changed color it didn't go completely from the green shade but she did lose a green tinge she wasn't as green as she once was but yeah there's actual family records of her you can actually change chase the ancestry back to living relatives in today's world so it's it's pretty darn cool there's actually a pub called the green children of wall pit as well so yeah oh what was the weekend mission the weekend mission was a construct an outpost yes exactly the same as last week's apart from this week we had to put down animal feeders and auto harvesters and all sorts of other freaking stuff that you've probably not got parts for so i'd suggest this one if you're going to run it this week maybe run it in creative mode because then you can just put down whatever you want in creative mode but there we go yeah there's a lot of other stories related to the hollow earth theory because it is a theory it's it's not really a conspiracy per se there are people that have actually put whole documents together on this it's actually an alternate theory to the makeup of our planet and you know it could be where the land of nod is or even noah's ark or even the garden of eden or even the city of atlantis could be there heck all these alien ufo sightings they could be crafts inside of our planet the amount of sightings that you see of alien craft going into the oceans and disappearing and not coming back out so maybe the aliens are already here and been here for freaking eons maybe they actually put life on the surface maybe we're their experiment who knows but i i love i love the hollywood theory because it sort of makes sense of every other freaking crazy theory out there and links them all together so that's why i like it it's just cool there was also project high jump which was actually in the um in the old war days where the nazis went up to the the poles to investigate sort of flying disk ships and they actually made some flying discs ships i mean you can find the photos it's crazy stuff anyway if you haven't heard of it look up the diary of richard admiral e bird as well look at the children of wool pit and look into maybe the race of the naga and dragon people that um tibet still they still do these celebrations to celebrate their actual rulers in tibet even to today where they were the dragon people said to come from inside the earth that could shape shift from human into dragons david i could be right you see what i mean it links all these crazy conspiracies together and that's why i think it's quite fun and entertaining yeah yeah anyhow i'm going off on another freaking tangent now we've done the weekend mission we've done the quicksilver mission did you have fun bobby yes awesome lovely dub chubbly sweet maybe i should do a podcast just talking about crazy tinfoil hat conspiracies and why i like them i mean it wouldn't be a proper conspiracy theory uh sort of website they'd be like look at this isn't this interesting it wouldn't be oh yes i completely believe this and i'm going to assign my life away to this theory because that's that's definitely not me i entertain them for entertainment value and because they have got entertainment value a lot of them have and they sort of that you couldn't script the stuff they need to make move well they have journey to the center of the earth there we are there's actually a jaws van film on the flicking thing so there we go but yeah maybe i need to do a little uh because i'm quite passionate about them i like them i do like them so maybe i should do a little podcast on them and as to why i like them but yeah i probably end up with my channel getting banned and demonetised they wouldn't i so it's probably too much of a risk but there you go people yeah it i wouldn't even say that's conspiracy theory though there's wiki pages on it and it actually gives you all the links of all the people that theorize this in the past and even those that still theorize that it could be a possibility now in fact they funded a mission to go to the hollow earth using an icebreaker that they were going to pilot there and smash through the arctic ice and try to find that entrance to the hollow earth however the actual captain of that vessel died of a mysterious heart attack and then there's always a weirdness going on there but yeah anyhow i better start off now people before i do get barred or something there we go until next time do you want to say anything before we go bobby no no no julia well i don't want to say anything does it doesn't even want to say goodbye did you hear that goodbye everybody goodbye all yeah goodbye bobby thanks for joining me bobby thank you you're welcome yeah nice one take care everyone goodbye daughter give my daughter punk bye zayn goodbye radion goodbye adam goodbye everybody in the chat see you later scottish rod bye all bye bye have a good weekend bye and that's the wrong button isn't there's two it every week okay there we go that's the white one there we are and

2022 Cross Edge Rollerball Unboxing and Review
do if i laugh just a little bit hello there welcome to  my channel my name is doug and i'm back   with another pen review you'll notice  i said pen review and not fountain pen   review that's because today's pen is not a  fountain pen excuse me while i whip this out   but a rollerball oh my god what a [ __ ] nightmare  i know i know let the derisive laughter ensue it may be heresy to say but i do  use pens that aren't fountain pens   fountain pens are not always convenient  here's mine oh no none rose trick pens and ballpoint pens are a total pain in the ass  now i'm afraid your son has cracked his coccyx   but rollerballs are quite acceptable as  they can be very smooth and silky riders   smooth as a baby's butt and this new cross edge  of mine is not only a smooth rider it's a very   good looking pen with some very cool features  that will intrigue the geekiest pen nerds   nerds see if this cross rollerball is  on the edge of cool or nerd right now so it's a day before my birthday and i decided  to get myself a present for a long time the only   rollerball i've used has been this cross  rollerball i used it for about 15 years   and i had one previously but i lost it and  replaced it because i loved it so much it is a   bit slim and i've had a number of cross pins since  then fountain pens but this rollerball came across   my staples advertisement probably my facebook  page one day and i decided to buy it because   i was so intrigued by it and it's arrived here  the day before my birthday so let's open it up and here it is it's the cross edge   it's a rollerball it cost about fifty dollars and  i liked the red but i mostly liked it because of   the geek that i am it's a really kind of a  cool gadget so let's see if we can open this up and there's the pen and some cross instructions warranty limited  lifetime warranty interesting and of course the   pen is made yup you know where and this is called  the cross edge formula red and here's the pen   it's a lot lighter than it looks it's  actually much lighter than i expected   but it's got this really cool design it's quite  short compared to my cross sentry and you can see   that's a bit shorter than that and the top finial  is a piece of plastic black plastic but the cool   thing about it is that it's retractable so you  pull it out to expose the nib and you click it   back in again it becomes a short compact pen that  you can place in your pocket and the clip has a   pivot point on it which is really cool short pen  so it'll sit nice and deep in your pocket i will   play with this a little bit and then i'll do  a review and what i'd like to do today is go   over the parts and features of this non-fountain  pen show some size comparisons some measurements   and then provide a writing sample and after the  writing sample please stay tuned as i will talk   about what i like and what i don't like about this  rollerball overall this pen is compact and girthy   and as you saw in the unboxing surprisingly light  i did expect this pen to be heavier because it   looks like it's made of aluminum and brass whereas  the cap and barrel parts of this pen are actually   molded plastic with a metallic look that simulates  anodized aluminum of course the cool feature of   this pen is that it retracts to extend the nib and  make the pen longer so it has the benefit of being   compact for easy storage in a pocket or a purse  and the convenience of one-handed operation like   your standard ball point only this pen retracts  with a click rather than extends with a click once   you get the hang of it it's almost irresistible  as a fidget device in the hand and with a lifetime   mechanical warranty you can fidget click as  much as you like or your co-workers can tolerate stop it from the top we see a matte black  plastic pointed end finial with a tapering   chrome bezel i was disappointed that this wasn't  a little silicone rubber dome like this one that   you can use as a stylus on your phone or  your tablet the geek cool factor would have   been exponentially higher if i did huh is that a  rhetorical point or would you like to do the math i'd like to do the math i'd like that too the clip is one of the very  cool features of this pen and one that i wish   the other pen companies would copy more yes  i said copy not the look but the function   the lever and the fulcrum have been around for  about 5000 years and not under any patent of which   i'm aware so why aren't more pen designers doing  this in 1853 david m smith of springfield vermont   invented a clothespin with two prongs connected  by a fulcrum plus a spring but he's dead and so   is the patent i love it you can squeeze it with  one hand open the clip and put it into your pocket   and close it just with one operation very very  cool the clip has cross deeply stamped into it   and filled in with black enamel paint and the  engineering doesn't end with the fulcrum pin   as there is another pin that matches on the other  side but it's not just decorative as that is a   little wheel a little black plastic wheel right  in there and that rolls on the inside sleeve   and then clicks into that groove that  you see right there when the pen closes and that keeps the clip from scratching that  chrome barrel and also gives it that little   positive click the cap and the barrel are  made of molded plastic with a metallic finish   the plastic part of the cap just surrounds a light  chrome metal sheath that you can see right there   and under the clip because the plastic part has a  rectangular cutout the edges of the cap were cut   with a wavy blade of some sort to give the edges  a chevron pattern in the black plastic which is   very attractive and very clever look at how that  chevron pattern mirrors in the clip on both sides   so you get this feather-like pattern on both sides  i wonder if parker will sue cross for stealing   their feather clip pattern design or would  that be rubber made sewing shafer i don't know i'm confused the top part of the plastic body  curves up where the clip extends over the   bottom part of the body and the rounded wide seam  between the two which acts as a bit of a cap band   visually it's very attractive and the back of the  body has cross finally etched into that plastic   the barrel then curves down to a chamfered edge  that separates the chromed plated brass nose   cone of the pen which has a black enamel filled  wide groove in the unboxing i didn't know how   to get into this pen to change the refill but i  quickly found this nose cone unscrews to allow you   to extract the cross refill and the spring that  powers the mechanism lives here in the nose cone   the inner sleeve collar is also chromed brass so  the threads are metal on metal which is nice let's   take a look at the refill while we're here it is  a standard cross medium which is 0.7 millimeters   and it's an eight five two three or a 10 21  depending on which number you look at and it is   of course made in china no surprise there and is  what cross calls the gel rolling ball refill a 0.5   millimeter fine point gel rolling ball refill is  also available but harder to find than the medium   if you're partial to ball points rather than gel  rolling ball pins you can also use the cross jumbo   ballpoint refill instead but be warned if you do  you will have literally hundreds of fountain pen   enthusiasts giggling behind your back let's put  this back together again and then we'll move on   to another very cool feature the cool mechanism  if you pull on the top half of the pen it slides   up and extends the nib at the same time this  opposite direction mechanism is really nice the   one-handed operation is wonderfully convenient and  as i said earlier very addictive when you extend   it it clicks softly into an interior groove which  helps keep the nib from pushing back into the pen   when you're right and when you close it with your  thumb the roller clip rolls into that groove uh in   the inner chrome sleeve or with a solid click in  all it's a very sleek machine it's well designed   and engineered i bought this pen at staples for  48.99 canadian plus tax the cross edge is at least   a decade old design and available in four standard  colors and has a few more interesting variations   from all matte black to some interesting  combinations of colors with blackout trim now   let's look at some size comparisons and here is  the cross edge rollerball with a cross century 2   medalist rollerball across 14 karat gold classic  sentry ballpoint a pen bbs 380 rollerball and a   gibson j200 rotor ball but of course now let's  look at them posted or extended and here they   are posted and or extended and currently i  don't have a refill in my 14 karat gold cross   and the pen bbs 380 can be either a fountain pen  or a rollerball you get both nibs when you buy the   380. now let's look at some measurements  and i'll be back with a writing sample and we're back with the  writing portion of the review   this is clairefontaine 90 gsm paper and this is the cross edge and it is a medium rollerball let's check the wetness hey it's a rollerball it's  a little bit wet just a little bit and the ink   of course is cross gel black i think it comes in a variety of colors like  black and what blue yeah blue and the line this   nib makes is in fact exactly as it advertised 0.7  millimeters and that is a medium and for our quote so what do i like and what do i not like  about this rollerball well i use this cross   metalist century 2 roller ball for at least  15 years every day at work i loved how smooth   the rollerball worked and the classy chrome and  gold look the only thing i didn't like about   this pen was how slim it is when i rediscovered  fountain pens after retiring from teaching for   35 years i put the cross aside and rarely used  it and this new to me cross edge has rekindled   my love for the cross rollerball cartridge it's  the closest thing to a smooth fountain pen nib on   paper no pressure at all but let's talk about  the edge itself so chuckle all you like but i   love this pen i know it's made in china but these  days what isn't i know people have been bemoaning   the loss of these american icons to what they  consider cheap and shoddy design engineering and   manufacturing in china cross shaffer and parker  may produce most of their writing instruments in   china today but that doesn't mean they've lost all  of their design and engineering ingenuity if this   pen is any indication not only is this pen very  attractive to look at and fun to play with with   its cool telescopic design but the engineering  design of this pen is also very detailed and   clever the spring lever clip design the little  roller at the end of that clip and the outer   and inner sleeve mechanism that simultaneously  extends the length of the pen to full size   while extending the nib are all hallmarks of  a very clever design and function thinking   i'm not surprised that this model has been around  for a decade i love the look and the balance and   the feel of this pen in the hand the thickness  and the function of this pen i especially   love the one-handed operation i can do this  all day so it's one-handed operation to open   and close and put back into your pocket very very  cool i know that the fugitives one arm men would   love this pen he swear that you saw him a man with  one arm running from the direction of your house   there are only two things that i don't like so  much about this pen one is that the tapered design   it's very nicely girthy i like that and it tapers  rather sharply and this plastic is a bit slippery   so while you're writing i tend to slide down  a little bit but i find that these grooves on   the back when it's extended actually hold the pen  in my grip fairly nicely so i've sort of adjusted   my grip on this pen to overcome that the second  thing is that this little finial on the top isn't   a stylus for an ipad or or a touch screen of some  sort that would have made this the ultimate killer   geek tactical multi-function transformer of a pen  and there you have it please tune in tomorrow when   i'll be showing you how to disassemble these two  pens hondian n6 and the hongdian n7 piston fillers   with this cool new tool that i've received and  i'll show you where to get that and how to take   apart and maintain these two piston fillers  also please look in the description at the   link for gold spot pens as i am now an affiliate  of the online store and we shop online at gold   spot pens using my link i'll get five percent in  support of my channel and i thank you i thank you   and you can join as a member of my channel too for  only 99 cents a month and i guarantee i'll answer   all your comments in the comments section and  you'll get cool emojis badges and new exclusive   members only unboxing videos and as always if  you like this video please like and subscribe   and don't forget to ring that bell to get  instant notifications whenever a new video   is posted and that just leaves it for me to say  thank you for watching and that's all she wrote i made this

Permanent Links Explained
[intro music] >> NARRATOR: This short video will discuss permanent links. >> NARRATOR: Permanent links are also known as: >> NARRATOR: Durable links >> NARRATOR: Persistent URLs >> NARRATOR: Stable URLs >> NARRATOR: Permanent URLs >> NARRATOR: or Permalink >> NARRATOR: Permanent links connect us to online documents or databases, to revisit a specific source later. >> NARRATOR: Why use a permanent link? >> NARRATOR: There are a few advantages to using permanent URLs. >> NARRATOR: First, the single most important reason is to connect you to your resource later—no need to search for the source again. >> NARRATOR: If you need a permanent URL or link to an online source for any reason, for example to share, to revisit later or to cite, it is important to make sure the link actually connects you to the desired source or record. >> NARRATOR: It can be frustrating to click on link that does not direct you to where you expect. When searching a database or journal, not all links are stable. Sometimes, the URL located in your browser bar is a temporary link. >> NARRATOR: Second, by using durable links, it also helps to keep electronic resource usage in compliance with copyright law and database licenses. >> NARRATOR: Third, it also helps the library to track journal and database usage statistics >> NARRATOR: So where do I find a permanent link? >> NARRATOR: To find durable URLs, you’ll need to look in a few different places and those locations can vary depending upon the database you are searching. >> NARRATOR: To find a durable URL in an EBSCO database... >> NARRATOR: First, search for an article in Ebsco >> NARRATOR: Second, select the article. >> NARRATOR: Third, look for a permalink option. >> NARRATOR: Fourth, a URL will appear above the article title and that is your permalink, durable URL or permanent link. Copy and paste it to your specified location. >> NARRATOR: EBSCO also allows you to copy a stable URL for a search you performed. >> NARRATOR: First, conduct your search in an Ebsco database. >> NARRATOR: Second, do not select a resource. Instead look for a dropdown menu labeled share and select that. >> NARRATOR: Third, look for Use Permalink. Then copy and paste it. >> NARRATOR: Let’s try another database. Finding Durable Links in Proquest Databases is a little bit different. >> NARRATOR: First, conduct a search in Proquest. >> NARRATOR: Second Navigate to or select the article that you are interested in. >> NARRATOR: Third Click on "Details" >> NARRATOR: Fourth Copy the Document URL. >> NARRATOR: Fifth, paste it to your specified location. >> NARRATOR: If you have any questions please ask us. >> NARRATOR: You can chat in with a librarian 24/7. >> NARRATOR: E-mail us or schedule an appointment to meet with a librarian in person or virtually to help with your research needs.

Earth he stepped into a place he didn't talk to the demons he didn't talk to the Devils but when they saw him they began to make negotiations when you become so full of the word and so full of the Holy Ghost you become dangerous at that point you can dislodge principalities and Powers over your family and over your life say I'm not weak not weak I am strong strong in the Lord yes Daniel 11:32 it says and they that know their God they shall be strong and shall do exploits Hallelujah you are not wasting your time here every time you you invest in the word every time you invest in the presence of God I assure you you are not wasting your time God is building you as you pray in the Holy Ghost as you worship because Satan is mapping out his arsenals and on the other side God is

assure you he will take me safely he will not even know what came upon him but he will drive me safely see I've met am robers on the road I have seen demons it's just that God has said I wouldn't die you don't know what I've gone through so don't you just say I say you are enjoying where do when you become full of the word you will be victorious see if you ref used to be full of the word you would think we are acting this thing on stage that's the problem those who don't invest in the word think he's just acting they say it's not true jar this person is just talking when I tell you there is a realm that you can rise above sickness there is a realm that you can rise above failure there is a realm that you can rise above the oppressions of Satan there is such a realm and we are content to enter that rest but there is that rest and the Bible says let us therefore labor this is where we are laboring in the word in prayer so that we enter that rest there is that rest Hallelujah now the book of Ephesians um it was written by Apostle Paul I just want to give you a little background the book of Ephesians theologically speaking it's it's been agreed among theologians and Bible scholars that the book of Ephesians contains one of the highest Church truth do you understand it contains one of the the highest explanation it gives the most precise description of the believer's work as far as um our work in the kingdom is concerned Paul used the first uh six chapters to explain uh different areas of the Christian Life Hallelujah was written to the church in Ephesus helping them to understand the realities of the life I hope you understand that Paul uh was not necessarily taught his Revelations I I follow me now he got it expressly by the spirit and so he got his Revelation and so he wrote this thing to the church but he was not just supposed to stop with the efficient church it was supposed to to be spread around all the churches that he had planted because it contains certain truth that Paul had received from the spirit and we're going to be considering these things Hallelujah broadly is divided into three the first three chapters of Ephesians talk about our position in Christ the realities what we call New Creation realities it helps us to understand who we are on account of what Christ has done for us so we are going to be examining that the first three chapters the book of Ephesians attempts to discuss what we have become it contrast who we were outside of Christ and outside of the Commonwealth of Israel and then what the Redemption of Christ has brought to us as a Believer Hallelujah so at the end of studying the first three chapters of Ephesians you are supposed to know who you are the whole concept of the Plan of Redemption what really happened we fell from Grace what kind of Grace so you get to understand the concept of Grace and of redemption and the fact that for all have sinned the concept of righteousness and the work the the the the the resting place Hallelujah so it teaches you and reveals to you your position that you are seated with Christ in Heavenly places that's the summary of the first subdivision of the book of Ephesians it teaches you how to walk in the reality of your position seated in Christ Hallelujah and then chapter four and five gets to discuss what we call the work of the believer it talks about conduct and character how you walk in the Kingdom w l k it teaches you how to walk how you can live as a kingdom citizen begins to guide you on the principles that's where it begins to talk of spirit fill living talking about living in the word living in character living conducting yourself such that you can be seen as a Christian Hallelujah and then chapter six teaches you how to stand Hallelujah that's where a lot of Ministries get the concept of warfare it teaches you how to stand in your position in Christ against the Ws of the devil so it teaches you your position of Rest In Christ and then it teaches you how to walk then it teaches you how to stand Hallelujah tells you how to stand with all the armor that you have been equipped with the breastplate of righteousness the helmet of salvation your shoe guarded about it tells you all of those things holding forth the shield of Faith wherewith you will quench all the fiery DS so we are going to be examining this at the end of this study you are supposed to come into that experiential position where you know who you are in Christ you are aware you are convinced of the blessings and the benefits of redemption and then you know how to walk and to live as a Christian now the entire book is very every time you are studying the book of Ephesians it's important to study all the six chapters because when you study only one part of it you will have a a misguided knowledge Hallelujah if the Bible tells us we have been seated in Christ why does it teach us to stand against the Ws of the enemy again are you following me now if the Bible tells us that we are seated in Christ then why should it tell us again to still God I mean you are seated with Christ Satan cannot come there the Bible says he was judged out of heaven and there was no place for him again remember the Book of Revelations he said there was war in heaven Lucifer that old serpent he he was judged casted to the Earth and there was no more place for him that's what Jesus was speaking in Luke when he said I beheld Satan falling as Lightning why as Lightning because the Angels move in that speed he said he maketh his angels wind and his ministers flames of fire and so he was casted from the heavens because remember in the Book of Job the Bible says when the sons of God gathered Satan was in their midst I hope you realize that the Bible was not written in chronological order that means in the order with which they happen if the Bible was written in chronological order job would be before Exodus are you listening to me so the Bible was not arranged in chronological order the dispensation of job was called the dispensation of conscience because we do not see the manifestations of the law there Hallelujah the progression of the dealings of God with man is that from the Garden of Eden right from the Garden of Eden when man fell the word of God reveals to us that God had known I hope you realize that God immediately man fell it was revealed in the garden there that the Redemption of man will be the ultimate uh solution through the shed blood of Jesus Christ because the Bible says that God killed a lamb and used it to cover what Adam and Eve that was a type of the sub restitutionary work of Jesus it was a prophetic type of the atonement shown in the garden there are you listening to me and now Adam Adam was the first man God created after the Judgment listen to me not the first man that was created in eternities Adam is not the first man who was created from forever no Adam was the first man created after the fall of Lucifer Genesis 1 verse1 we're doing Bible study the Bible says in the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth then verse two says now the Earth was dark and void and formless comes from two Hebrew words to who boho all of them all these Greek words they mean confusion and Chaos Darkness every time the Bible talks about Darkness there are three words one ignorance two confusion three the manifestation of the workings of the flesh so every time you study the Bible and it talks about Darkness it's talking about confusion is talking about ignorance every time the Bible talks of light it doesn't just talk of the presence of God it talks of Illumination and God said let there be light that light was not sunlight because a few verses let out the Bible says God made many lights so what light did he say Let There Be Hallelujah so let's establish the fact that AB Adam was not the first man on the earth he was the first man created in the image and the likeness of God why because I need to understand that between Genesis 1 vers1 and Genesis 1:2 were many many years are you listening to me it didn't just happen the way the Bible summarized it 28 that's where the Bible gives us a description of the one we know as Satan today the one we call Lucifer I hope you know Lucifer was once an archangel Lucifer was the Archangel in charge of worship just like Michael being the archangel in charge of War every time the Bible talks of the manifestation of war and standing in for the Saints the Archangel that is sent is Michael and every time there is an activity that requires service delivering a message is who Gabriel that's why when Daniel was praying Daniel said he began to pray and for three weeks he was praying and Gabriel was bringing him a message but the prince that was surrounding the territory of per because the Bible tells us that the it gives us the the the the arrangement the Strategic arrangement of what we want to call the satanic Kingdom Hallelujah it says we do not our our our wrestle is not against flesh and blood but against what principalities and powers and rulers and then he talks of some that do not function in the earth realm he calls them spiritual wickedness in Heavenly places these are the ones that are in charge of territories and now this spirit ual wickedness was in charge of Persia because Daniel and the other people were caught in the Babylonian captivity at that time and so he he began to seek the face of the Lord hallelujah and when Gabriel was bringing the reply the Prince of Persia sto Gabriel but Gabriel is an archangel should he not fight no the Angels do not break their ranks and so he kept praying until Michael the ark angel came Hallelujah remember in the book of Jude when the Bible says some of you don't read your Bible when there was struggle over the body of Moses the Bible says how that who Michael was struggling he was supposed to take the body of Moses and Satan and say it belongs to me and now Michael could not fight there he said the Lord because this was Satan are you listening to me now the Lord rebuked you are you still here so Satan was cast and when he was cast I want you to understand according to scripture the Bible says onethird of the Angels fell with him Hallelujah imagine the kind of influence Satan was the Valu cherub the Bible calls him there's no time sorry I would have gone in depth Hallelujah he calls him the value ch that cover his embodiment he was made of the objects of worship and he had access to the heavens and the earth I hope you know by that time the den Heaven here was there was no blockage between the heavens and the Earth there was free access and Satan could walk upon the holy Mount of God until iniquity was found in him what was the iniquity he said I will exalt myself and I will arise above the stars of God he wanted the position of God because he he felt he could legislate and Satan alongside all the other demons one of them being the demon Spirits called latan how many of you have read about latan some of you don't read your Bible only I I receive this it just makes you grounded and then the Bible talks about the manifestation of Satan again it talks of apolon these were all of the of the angels that fell together with Lucifer Hallelujah and so when they fell you see flood in scripture is symbolic of judgment are you listening to me that was the Jud it was the Judgment of Lucifer his casting down from the heavens that led to the chaos of Genesis 1:2 do you understand now now the Earth Was Dark Void and then the Bible when it was time to recreate the Earth then Elohim the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit the singular is eloha one of the Trinity three of them or any once is more than one is Elohim in the Hebrew and Elohim said light be in other words I withdrew you that light listen is the lifegiving dimension of God because when Jesus manifested in The Book of John the Bible says in the beginning was the word and the Word was with God and the Word was God he say was with God in the beginning and through him was all things made and without him was nothing made that was made he said in him was what light and that light was the light life of men so when he was saying let there be light he was releasing that factor that dimension of him that causes things to exist he said let there be light and he said there was light and he saw that it was good then he began to recreate the Earth and then he made man from the dust of the earth I hope you know when he made man the word man there is Adam Adam is not just the name of Adam are you listening to me in the Hebrew Adam is man dust the woman was inside the man when he pronounced the blessing that's why whether you're a woman or man you can walk in the reality of what the word of God says the separation happened in Genesis chapter 2 when he caused man to sleep and he took out of that man the reib and created the woman Hallelujah are you following me now so when you say women are wicked vessels based on what because when the blessing was being spoken to the man Adam the woman was in the man are you listening to me now and so Adam became the the first recreated man in the image and the likeness of God what is the image of God the image of God is Not physical the likeness of God means two hands God has two hands not three the Bible tells us there is a right hand meaning there is a left one are you listening to me you would have just said hand Hallelujah you use C to compare scripture we call it Systematic Theology how you can use one scripture to explain and give light to another scripture and then you are you are unable to take just one aspect of scripture and create a Doctrine out of it until you can find the same operation in both the Old and the New Testament because the Bible says in the mouth of two or three Witnesses is a matter established are you following me now so one is the number of unity two is the number of witness are you listening to me when the Bible says here oh Israel the Lord your God is one Now Hebrew is a very big word the only word that is close to Hebrews that we can liken in Nigeria is euroba you can have many words do you understand for instance the word en in Hebrew n it means what is at for so it depends on the context you need the Holy Ghost to be able to interpret some of these scriptures that's why those who interpreted the early translations of the Bible misuse certain words like Authority and power there are four words in Scripture that are used to connote power one is called katos one is called isos one is called exusia the other one is called dunamis most people just know dunamis and exusia exusia is the outworking of the word every time you take in the word in your spirit what happens is there is a buildup of what we call katos the inworking of the word when you are full of the word what you release is the outworking exusia the power of atony you are so full of the word that now you can represent him and so when you take out time and pray in tongues the buildup of that dimension in you is called isos is the power the inner workings of the spirit when he said building up yourself on your Most Holy Faith that's the buildup so when you lay hands on the sick what you release is dunamis the power the ability of the spirit able to reproduce itself that's why you can lay hands on 100 people it's like fire you can use one Candlestick to light many are you listening to me now where are we we've left the book of Ephesians are you learning something yes we want us to know the word of God and to appreciate the workings of the word so God created man let me tell you something about Satan Satan is a spirit one of the Fallen Angels now falling are you listening to me he's falling say after me Satan is falling there are certain attributes of Satan I would want you to know even as we start number one Satan is not omnipotent in fact let me put it this way there are three attributes that make God God all by himself number one he's omnipotent the word Omni means all potent means ability all powerful omnipotent the number two two he is omniscient omniscient means all knowing all knowing he knows all things number three he's omnipresent the S said where can we hide from your presence omnipresent means he's everywhere whoever can possess these three attributes at any given time is called God whoever at any given time can be omnipotent omnipresent omniscient God this is what Satan cannot be everywhere at the same time are you listening to me for instance he's not here are you listening to me so don't just sit in that fear and say is Satan no Satan is not everywhere he cannot be everywhere at the same time because when he went to God in the Book of Job God asked him he said ah from where are you coming he said what from going through and through but you never hear God saying going through and through it's only his that go through and through he's called Alpha Omega the word and is an error in the translation it's not and Omega Alpha Omega that means there is nothing called future in his present everything lays be it's not called Alpha and Omega Alpha is the first of the Hebrew letters Omega is the is the last so it says he the first and the last Alpha Omega Hallelujah so Satan manifest with different Spirits different manifestations of spirits Hallelujah and there are many of them death is one of them death is not a phenomenon death is a spirit are you listening to me the Bible says that there were four Riders upon the horse in The Book of Revelation and he said one of them held a pair of balances and the name of that spirit is death so he a spirit hell is a spirit for instance hell is not just a location I've told you hell is in the earth hell is right at the center of the earth hell lies in the shape of a man and enlarges itself every time the psalm is seeing this by Revelation he said hell enlarge itself he say I will go down to the pit where their warm dieth not Hallelujah I hope you know that Jonah went to hell Jonah didn't just stay in the belly of the fish Jonah went toell hell Jonah began to give descriptions of the gates and those in Chains and in hell so hell is a spirit the Bible says that at the Judgment when the sea will give up all those that died in it are you listening to me and then he said hell will give up all those that died in he said hell death the last spirit that will be destroyed is death he said hell death and the grave will be cast into the lake of fire no man is in the Lake of Fire right now the Lake of Fire is part of God's kingdom he designed the Lake of Fire for the punishment of Satan so all those that have died and gone to Hell have not started the punishment it is when Satan is officially taken to hell that their punishment will start reading because every time we we call it in theology the doctrine of interpenetration how two people can become one that's the mystery of marriage wherefore shall a man leave his what father and mother and cleave to his wife and they two shall become what one that's how the bride and the spirit the church and the Holy Ghost became one he that is joined to Christ is what one Spirit now he that is joined to Satan is also one Spirit are you listening to me he that is joined to Satan is one spirit so how does Satan carry out all his activities he tries to mimic the operation of the Trinity because the administrative structure of Heaven is such that the father is always the initiator the word is the one who speaks things into be the holy spirit is the Pentecostal arm of the Trinity he's the one who makes things happen that's why in Genesis chapter 1 verse 2 he was the first of the diety to be revealed and the spirit of God overed round the face of the waters now Satan also tries to mimic the operational organogram of Heaven by trying to create what we know as 666 66 66 is not just something people will receive on their head and their hand 666 6 is the number of a man are you listening to me one is a number of unity two is the number of witness three is the number of establishing a thing and then it's also the number of Trinity four is the operation of the Holy Spirit five is the number of grace and mercy six is the number of a man seven is the number of perfection eight is the number of new beginnings are you following me now so 666 is Satan trying to mimic the operation of God the first six stands for Satan who wants to be the father himself the second six stands for the Antichrist the Antichrist is both a system and a person the Antichrist government started at the birth of Cain and Cain departed from the presence of God and built a city naming it after his son Enoch The Same Spirit of the Antichrist followed Nimrod and Nimrod said let's build a city whose Tower will reach the heaven The Same Spirit was upon nebuchad and he built Babylon The Same Spirit was upon Jezebel and AAS The Same Spirit was upon Herod the Same Spirit was upon Herod in the book of Acts and the same spirit is what is explained in the Book of Revelation the mystery Babylon so there is the Antichrist as a system but there is the Antichrist as a person and that person is the one who tries to mimic Jesus when you read the book of Revelation it tells us that the Antichrist will not have anything to do with women because Jesus did not marry the Antichrist will die die and he will come back to life power will be given to him the dragon will give him power and then the last six stands for the false prophets who stand trying to mimic the Holy Spirit why are they many because the holy spirit is the only Holy Spirit we have we don't have many we have him but because Satan cannot be omnipresent so he uses many people your rap artists your your the TS around town they are all the manifestation of that spirit are you getting something so Satan is not a mystery Satan is a person he cannot be everywhere at the same time are you listening to me and here what I know why I'm talking to you about Satan because we are about to examine something briefly seated with Christ the book of Ephesians we're taking the first chapters when when you when I read the chapters now you will understand stand based on the foundations that I've laid now look at me please quickly let me explain something what did man lose I need to explain to you what man lost first and foremost please can I have someone a guy and then can I have someone help me with a veil please we're going to the Garden of Eden right now I'm not going to be a lady I'm not one of the stupid people in society who change themselves from men to women Hallelujah now this is righteousness this is not a woman righteousness Hallelujah now look look at me listen Genesis 1: 26 and Elohim said let us make man in our own image are you listening to me and now the Bible says that Christ is the express image of God that means let us make Man in Christ are you listening to me that means let us look at the word and reproduce man out of the word the first Adam was created the second Adam was born unto us a child is given are you listening to me that's why he he was when Jesus came to the Earth listen to me he was the only son of the father when he resurrected after Acts chapter 2 he became the first born of the begotten he's no longer the only son of the father what are you are you listening to me you are a son whether you are a lady the word son is not male figure the word son is weos and techon I've taught you this weos and techon techon means a child baby one who is void of knowledge but you are still son so the Bible says as many as received him he gave them power to become sons are you listening to me so now this is Adam listen Adam was made in the image and the likeness of Christ and Authority was given to Adam listen the condition to be able to walk with God is that you must have righteousness equal to that of Jesus not less are you listening to me so God created man in the very righteousness of Christ so God could come in the cool of the day and function with man but you know before Man was created Satan had already been casted so he was roaming around that's why he told him he said subdue the word subdue means there an enemy roaming around are you listening to me now watch this Satan comes in Genesis chapter 3 and meets Eve why Eve because Eve was the woman taken out of man The Authority was given to man are you listening to me and Satan came to Eve in an attempt to tempt Eve because Adam loved Eve I hope you realize that when Eve was eating of the tree Adam was not somewhere killing the ground he was there with her so lady don't let anybody tell you it's you that cause trouble why didn't he stop her Adam was there she ate it and gave him what made him to eat it love love love is still what is throwing people today love no now follow this are you listening to me so Satan listen Satan's ultimate Quest was not Eve he needed to use Eve to get Adam so now the second Adam comes as Christ and the Eve is now the church are you listening to me so Satan still wants to take that Authority but now he's attacking the eve of the second Adam which is the church the body of Christ that's why the Bible calls us the bride of Christ we are the Bride of that second Adam now he has righteousness Satan comes and tells Eve did God really say that in the day you eat of this tree you will die let me tell you Satan's strategy every time Satan comes to you the first thing he will do is to attack what God told you God announced over Jesus this is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased he goes to the Wilderness after 40 days Satan said if you are really the son of God didn't God just say it 40 days ago God said it Satan said if it is true prove it just like Satan looks at you and says if you are truly beautiful prove it and he said man shall not live by bread alone what is bread a bread is what nourish is the body so man shall not live by sensory perceptions alone but by every remor every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord are you following me now we've not even started the teaching of Ephesians this is just the background Hallelujah now Adam was created having this say righteousness now write everybody righteousness is the ability to stand in the father's presence righteousness is the ability to stand in the father's presence without a sense of guilt without a sense of inferiority and without a sense of condemnation the ability to stand in the father's presence when you were growing up and you stole meat when they got to know about it you you almost wanted to die when your father was coming back home because you've lost righteousness that ability to stand when your result is good you run home and you you can't wait for your father to come but when when it's not the way you hoped for it to be you'll be wishing that you would travel that's righteousness are you listening to me so Adam had this anyone who did not have this righteousness cannot relate with God watch this so when man fell I hope you realize that man did not fall by eating the fruit eating the fruit was the proof that he had fallen because death is first spiritual before physical I hope you know Adam did not die die physically yet he lived many hundreds of years ago death was the natural consequence of the deterioration of the sin nature we'll talk about that I just want you to understand this concept first so when man fell watch what happened the first thing that happened is when they at the Bible says Their Eyes Were what open look up there were two trees in the Garden of Eden one was called what go and get your Sunday school book one was was called what some of you didn't even go to Sunday school you were buying ice cream with your offering and playing ball with oranges where your friends were receiving the word of the Lord one is called the Tree of Life the other is called what now the Tree of Life the job of the tree of life is to make you live forever in whatever state you are in are you listening to me whatever state you are in you have to remain in that in that state if you eat of the tree of life so when God created Man In His Image eating of the tree of life will keep him in that state so by reproduction he will give birth to many children after his kind who are after the kind of God are you listening to me now the three of the knowledge of Good and Evil exposes you to two things it opens your eyes truly to begin to be aware why good and evil Adam did not know that that there was judgment upon Satan he didn't know certain evils that happened before he came are you listen listen to me so Satan did not really lie when he say you shall be like God you will know some things that have happened that there is more than you are seeing so when he came to him when he ate and if at what happened their eyes they had eaten listen everything you receive through Satan will give you these two things good but with it will come a measure of evil knowledge of Good and Evil and the whole journey from Genesis to Revelation is everybody choos choosing whether he eat between the knowledge of of the tree of life or of Good and Evil because in the Book of Revelations we see that there was a tree of life in the Throne of God the other tree had disappeared because everyone that made it must have chosen the tree of life so there is no more tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil are you following me please their eyes were open what happened they suddenly realized they were naked what covered them in the first place shakina that cabbo of God the literal glory of God the way it covered the face of Moses it covered the entire structure of them so they did not even see their nakedness but they were naked are you following me now now the glory lifted and this is what they lost man lost three things when he fell number one he lost the Holy Ghost the Breath of Life the one who will guide and instruct him number two he lost righteousness look at this this was lost so man the soul of man according to the tripartite nature of man I hope you know you are a spirit you live in a body and you have what a soul when we talk of Soul what are we talking about it's just your spirit in the consciousness of your will emotions and intellect now watch this please man falls all right and suddenly he dis covered look at the manifestations of the Soul now his Spirit died what is death separation from the spirit of God the spirit of God left man instantly he died he said in the day you eat of that tree you shall what die that means you shall be separated from my spirit at that point we see soical manifestations suddenly he was afraid suddenly he was timid and they went to hide and the Bible says in Genesis chapter 3 and he heard the voice of God walking in the cool of the day the literal Hebrew rendition is and God and the talking Spirit was walking in the cool of the day and he said Adam where are thou and Adam said I heard thy voice and I hid because I was what naked he said who told you that means everything you know today somebody told you whether it's right or wrong somebody told you and Adam said what the woman he didn't say my wife again you see where family controversy started from he said the woman you gave me is woman I was minding my business you came to come and produce something out of my re the woman and now he said woman why have you done this then listen certain curses began to come one of it was the cause of teing the ground he said in your sweat shall you eat and to the woman he said the travail of childbirth are you listening to me and the ground was caused unto the serpent I hope you know the serpent was one day we talk about that I'm not ready to say something now you are not okay no problem when we are talking about the war the the standing I will tell you why is Satan interested in snakes have you wondered why what is it about serpents and people the traditional people in your village people have dreams and see snakes why not monkey why not why not goat we will explain that because you will find out that before the snake fell the serpent was not the serpent was not crawling the way it used to crawl hallelujah we're going to study the word we examine a lot of controversial things for instance the Bible tells us Enoch the father of Seth the father of Adam the Son of God or the son of Seth the son of Adam where did he leave K and Abel read your Bible they were not among the genealogy ah then the Bible says Adam knew his wife and he gave birth to K he didn't tell us he knew his wife again meaning he slept with his wife but we see Abel manifesting the second time Adam will know his wife they gave birth to Seth and he said on that day men began again to call upon the name of the Lord so were they twins Sila the second question is where did k get his wife from because Cain was banished are you listening to me I will make you love your Bible and then we will examine again what really happened that suddenly look at me the Bible says by their fruit we shall what how come Cain and Abel the Bible never tells us that Adam is the father of all the living but he tells us Eve is the mother of all all the living Bible what are you saying don't confuse us here because now we see Adam and we I mean we see K and we see Abel suddenly we see the manifestation of the workings of the spirit in the life of Abel but we see the manifestation of Satan in the life of Abel and God told himy to the point that Cain will now kill his brother and God told him sin lith at your door who taught him all these things I thought they were the first children of of Adam and Eve who taught them the concept of sin and the concept of falling who is the father of Cain who is the father of Abel who is really their father because this was the Revelation Paul was trying to give the people in Romans chapter 7 he said Within Me although I came out from one womb the womb of the word of God I see the manifestation of two persons in me he said with my spirit I serve God however I turn and I see another law walking in my members so that the things that I want to do I do not find myself doing and the things that I don't want to do I find myself doing he said oh Wretched Man that I am who shall deliver me from this body of death then verse 8 chapter 8 verse1 start he said there is therefore now no condemnation to a certain kind of people are you seeing the relevance don't think we are just bambo through history no no no no no we are trying to check something because the Bible says Cain departed from the presence of God and built a city that's where the Antichrist government started from it started from Kain how did this happen didn't Adam teach his children well could it be that Kain had another father Sila so man lost righteousness Hallelujah when man Lo lost righteousness he ran away from God listen from that time I hope you realize that the law the prophets and all of these things were only interims do you know the law that the law was not part of God's original agenda for man you know the manifestation of the prophets of old the prophets of old paid both prophetic and Apostolic roles because one of the proof Pro of an apostle is that you must have an encounter with the Lord Jesus directly Paul said am I not an apostle have I not seen Jesus are ye not the Seal of my apostleship are you listening to me now no man had at any time seen the word because until then the word had never found expression physically he was only the word are you listening to me now it was only when the Holy Spirit turned the word to become a seed and planted the Bible says he appeared before men and they saw him he was full of grace and truth so until then no man ever knew how the word looked like his original name was not Jesus I hope you know that Jesus was the name he took when he bore when he had a body because when the prophet prophesied he said ye shall call him Emmanuel Emmanuel is a Hebrew word that means god in our midst God With Us Jesus was never called Emmanuel once is it he was he called Emmanuel in your Bible they gave him Jesus there are Mexicans that bear Jesus today Jesus is simply the Hebrew is jehoshua that's where you get Joshua it means God our Salvation that's where they get Yeshua because they pronounce why for J Yeshua that's why you see some versions they say hallelu instead of yeah you see J hallelujah or Hallelujah some people say hallelujah are you are you learning something please we're examining the book of Ephesians and there are certain foundations that you must have so man left the presence of God when he left the presence of God what happened that began what we know today as experiment the Holy Spirit was supposed to lead man into Perfection but now man had fallen are you listening to me so he had to now start using his mind and then wickedness began to grow and then later we are going to be studying how that the Bible says that the sons of God slept with the daughters of men and they gave birth to certain kinds of things they corrupted the race men with six fingers and six toes unusually big that's where golad came from so what happened when we study I'm going to show you from the Bible the origin of HIV 8 and you will know that HIV 8 is called acquired immuno deficiency syndrome is something that came from the interaction of the realm of the spirit and this realm that's why when it comes into you it attempts to change your DNA it paralyzes your immune system the solution is not just medicine the solution is the power of God this is what is is taught in the film you know to be X-Men that there are certain people by reason of genetic mutation acquired certain Supernatural ability and then they say a war will happen one day on the earth that's the prediction of the films you watch and they are not lying that is a watch between the sons of Light and the corrupt race some of the films you watch some of the pictures and the demons that they come from do you know they are real demons one day I saw the advert of a movie and I saw a you know all these kind of funny films I've seen that demon in the realm of the spirit and they use the mask of the demon in a real film I said what the heck the producers of these films are real men of the spirit don't you think they are just intellectuals they say he has PhD whatever uh-uh these men go by divination and sorcery and they have a covenant with Satan and they come up with the pictor representation of these demons for instance the way Michael Jackson dances is there is there are evil spirits that dance that exact way it is when they inhabited him that he started doing that it's not a lie this is true Ephesians chapter 1 we're out of time the time has even gone don't go and sit me you want to go and sit okay go and sit I'll use somebody else Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God to the Saints who are at Ephesus and to the faithful in Christ please take on your Bible we are reading we're going to read um this is part one the book of Ephesians part one Grace be unto you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ verse three blessed be God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ who had blessed us with what spiritual blessings where spiritual blessings in Heavenly places he said according as he has chosen Us in him before the foundations of the world so you have been chosen that means your life listen the Bible says those he predestinated those he called he justified he glorified you are not just an accident you have been planned are you listening to me something happened on the way but but by the wisdom of the spirit there was a Plan of Redemption to bridge the gap now God wants us to continue what would have happened if man did not fall if man did not fall what will we be doing I hope you know if man did not fall there will not there will not be Apostles and Prophets and teachers and pastors they came because of the Fall their ministry will end one day when will it end when the saints come into the fullness of the stature of the measure of Christ so those who say they are no Apostles again they are no prophets there's no need arguing ask yourself has the church come to the fullness of the stature of the measure of Christ if not then the ministry of Apostles and Prophets and evangelists and pastors is still valid Hallelujah the apostles break the ground they build the people they equip the people the Evangelist by the anointing of the Holy Spirit bring people from the fold of Darkness the pastor the word Pastor is shepher and that is not even a teaching title that is an administrative title the word Pastor is the word father so they father the people they help them they build them a pastor is not just a preacher are you listening to me and then there are the prophets they reveal the oracles they reveal the blueprint and they give direction so the apostles receive the signals from the prophets what is God saying and they are the ones that have the faith and the audacity to go through it agabus revealed to Paul he said whoever has this gel is going to Jerusalem and he gave Paul Direction Paul said God has already shown me but he said I will go they are the ones who plow the ground that's why he makes us stubborn before he sends us because the people that we are sent to are not they are very stubborn people prophets are see as they can be quiet and calm but Apostles are not quiet people doesn't mean you should just be stubborn and say oh this is the secret of being an apostle I'll not obey my mother again let's continue hav predestinated us into the adoption of sons by Jesus Christ himself according to to the good pleasure why does the bible use adoption adoption means that we belong to another kingdom before when you adopt a child what do you do you take that child and engraft that child to become your own Hallelujah to the praise verse six of the glory of his grace through which he had made us accepted in the Beloved in whom we have Redemption listen now in whom we have Redemption how through his blood and the Forgiveness of sins according to The Riches of his grace now look at this the Bible says there were Hebrews and we're talking about seated with Christ we'll discuss it in brief maybe 10 minutes about the whole concept of redemption what is redemption the word redeem means to salvage to save by paying a ransom Hallelujah that you salvate someone by paying a ransom I wrote a book some years ago not guilty Never released it but it was an attempt to explain to man his present position in light of what Christ has done now there was a contention when you read the book of Romans that's where it contrast between the law and Grace down into Galatians and Colossians and then Ephesians it seems that Paul had a controversy because the Jews and the Gentiles had an issue watch this the Jews were God's covenant Nation the Gentiles every time I use the word Gentile it means whoever was not a Jew real Jew from nation of Israel so we we are called what Gentiles are you listening to me those who are separated from the common wealth of Israel now the Jews were a people who entered a covenant I hope you know that they entered a covenant with God sealed by what circumcision are you listening to me it was a covenant with God because they needed to be a separate people with whom the Messiah would show up now the Gentile Nation they were hiden Nations they did not love God they serve other gods when Jesus Christ came listen remember that when he was sending the 12 and the 17 he told them do not go any other place go to the lordship of Israel are you listening to me now because he wanted the Jews because the Jews had paid so much price for Jesus Christ to come so the Bible says a worker is worthy of his wages and he will be the first partaker are you listening to me so the Jews were to be the first partaker of the partakers of salvation but they rejected Christ and then the blessing came to the Gentiles that's why till today those in Israel if you've gone to Israel for pilgrimage those who are leading the people and driving the cast they are not even born again they don't believe in the Messiah they just know that they have a historical monument that is making money for them Hallelujah and so here was the problem the Jews were saying we are better than every Other Nation why because we are a covenant people we are circumcised and we are a covenant people now the Gentiles were far this is what the Jews were saying this is why they rejected the gospel of Paul Paul was saying for all have sinned what is all have seen Jews you have broken all the Commandments they've given you Gentiles you did not even have you were you fell from Adam that's why I said by one man sin enter the whole world are you listening to me now the Jews were contending they say no for anyone to receive of the blessings of Salvation he must become a Jew by circumcision then from a Jew he will now become a partaker of God's blessings and Paul was saying no he said it's not necessary that the only circumcision that was required was the circumcision of the heart help us God so we have Redemption through his blood our Redemption listen to me the word redeem means to bring somebody back to an original state by paying the price are you listening to me according to God's Eternal Justice the Bible says in Ezekiel chapter 18 it says the soul that sinth it shall die the soul that seed it it shall die so according to the verdict of God's jce when man fell he was judged is that correct in the days of Noah the Bible makes us to understand that men began to do things that displeased God and he judged the Earth with a flood and then there were eight people Noah his wife the three sons and their wives why because eight is the prophetic number for New Beginning so God was beginning a new race now God knew that he would not need to keep killing people and wiping one generation after another then they had a plan and that plan was Jesus Christ are you listening to me now so the prophets came to guide the people to guide the people in the way of the Lord until the manifestation of Jesus Christ when Jesus showed up he showed up as the one John said the one who sent me told me that the one on whom I see the Holy Spirit descend he is the Lamb of God and when he saw him he said Behold the Lamb of God so everything that happened in the Old Testament was a foreshadow a foreshadow are you listening to me so Jesus comes and walks upon the the Earth Jesus came for two reasons and none of them is to take you to heaven listen to me Hallelujah the first reason Jesus came was the ministry of reconciliation to reconcile us to the father do you know why we are going to heaven one day look at me do you know why we are going to heaven one day because Satan must be judged and the prophecies that have been written they are called the written judgment they must be executed upon the Earth and the Bible says let that him that let it will let that means it is the church who are the light of the world that are withholding the manifestation of the Antichrist the Antichrist cannot manifest when the church is here because light shines in the darkness so don't let anybody fully with all yes the government of anti of the Antichrist is already being formed are you listening to me but the Antichrist cannot show up until the church leaves the holy spirit will need to give way for that manifestation so who are those who will be the missionaries the Jews when they see the exit of the church truly they will know that they have been misled because they are waiting for the manifestation of the son he came in a manger and they said according to their prophecies is supposed to come with great chariots and horses and so they are waiting for the manifestation the coming of Jesus the what we well would I call it Second Coming the second faith of the exit for those of you who have been taught that there is nothing called Rapture ch change your mind there is something called Rapture there is no word rapture in the Bible just like there's no word Trinity in the Bible every time you see a word that is used that you cannot find in the Bible you search for scriptures to confirm it are you listening to me like Trinity Jesus comes out of the water the father is speaking the Holy Ghost comes in bodily form you see the manifestation of Trinity but that's not enough because two scriptures must confirm it then we see Steven Steven is full of the Holy Ghost looks up to heaven and sees the father sitting and the son standing at his right hand now we know that there is something called Trinity so Rapture the Bible tells us in the book of Thessalonians and and many other scriptures how that there will be a time when there will be a glorious exit of the body why so that the vs according to revelation will be poured upon the Earth are you listening to me we are the ones who are withholding wickedness do you know I've not even touched on Ephesians we're just doing General Bible study where wherever we can stop we'll soon stop and then pray but are you learning something the word of God is supposed to make you grounded the end of this this is part one in part one we are supposed to learn who we are in Christ on account of what Christ has done say after me because of what Christ has done what Christ has I am alive today I alive to dear Lord okay let's see how far we can go because Paul began to pray Paul was praying a prayer to the Ephesian church that they will see what he saw he prayed in verse in verse 17 he says I pray that I bow my knees for this cause I bow my knees to the father of our Lord Jesus Christ that he may Grant unto you what the spirit of knowledge wisdom and understanding in the knowledge of him your heart being flooded with light that you may know certain things it says that you may know the hope of his calling and what is the riches of the glory of the inheritance in the Saints and the exceeding greatness of his power and all of that which he wrought in Christ and he said now Christ is seated in the heavens okay let's let's wherever oh Lord wherever we can stop let's start from where should we start from the Holy Communion let's just take it from there I have to at least cover some grounds the Holy Communion what is the Holy Communion what is the revelation of the Holy Communion Now look up please by this time it was evident that man had fallen and the only remedy is Christ because without the shedding of blood Lord there is what no remission of sin and any soul that sinth it shall die is that correct now man sinned I hope you know that the concept of sin listen sin is first a nature before an act are you listening to me so when you see someone fornicating or doing something the sin is not really the fornication the fornication is the effect of that nature in the person the strength of that nature in him because the Bible says for instance it says 2 Corinthians 5: 21 he say he who knew no sin became sin did Jesus sleep with any woman did he steal any man's property but the Bible says he became sin so what is the Bible saying he who knew no sin became the embodiment of sin so that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus so when man fell he took on that Fallen nature that nature of Satan man lost his Dominion man lost the Holy Spirit man lost righteousness and all through from Genesis 4 down to the manifestation of the sun it was just a transition a a a temporary transition awaiting the coming of Christ so at the Holy Communion now Jesus had told them he was going to die watch this please he sits with 12 people because 12 is the number of government is that correct and what does a government do they represent the people are you listening to me so Jesus Christ was entering a covenant with the whole world world through 12 people using them as a prophetic point of contact so that he could now die for them are you listening to me because there had to be a way for substitution to happen and for substitution to happen Christ would have to take on the nature of man in death so that we now take up his nature in life are you understanding me and that's what the Holy Communion Jesus said except you eat of My Flesh and drink of my blood you do not have my life are you listening to me now he had said he's the bread of life and he's the cup The Living Waters so he took of the bread and broke it and gave the 12 people the moment they ate it there was a legal grounds in the spirit where Christ can now take the nature of man that's why after the communion he went straight to Gethsemane what was he doing in Gethsemane he was crying no he was not crying that's where what we call the exchange began to happen the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ are you listening to me him becoming sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ this is what Paul is trying to explain if you do not understand what Christ has done you will not know who you are you see why it says we are seated with Christ seting symbolizes rest is that correct so everything as far as your Redemption is concerned you did not do anything it was Christ that did everything so if you try to do what Christ has already done it will be futile you just need to embrace what Christ has done and walk in the reality of it are you listening to me now when Jesus was at Gethsemane listen you know why Jesus cried and said father if it be thy will please take this cup off me what cup was it the cup of death on the cross no no no the cup of Separation For the First Time The Trinity were going to be separated the Holy Spirit Who Came Upon Jesus Jesus Christ like any man at baptism would have to leave him so that he can die are you listening to me the Holy Spirit came back after 3 days and resurrected him back again from the dead meaning he left him when the Bible says he gave up the ghost he gave up his Spirit not the Holy Ghost the Holy Spirit left him that was the only condition for him to pay the price that he was paying so that cup was the cup of Separation because listen it was in Gethsemane Jesus began to become the Adam I hope you know that on the cross he didn't start dying there he finished his death on the cross the death started in Gethsemane because Adam first died spiritually is that correct and then he died physically so if Jesus were to qualify and meet the condition of being the second Adam he will have to die spiritually first and what is spiritual death separation from the Holy Ghost so the Holy Ghost left him in Gethsemane and then they held him watch this from that time he did not become Jesus the Christ there was no more Christ in him Christ comes from the word Christos the anointed one and his anointing he was no longer the Christ he was Jesus sin me and you the embodiment of every sinner are you listening to me now he began to pay the price that me and you would have paid so let's have Jesus here there's something very lovely the Catholics do Sam your Jesus they remember during Lent period they get a Jesus and move him around now watch this man fell every King has a crown on his head is that correct your crown is the symbol of your royalty so man when we fell we lost that symbol of royalty so a crown of T was put upon his head in substitution for the restoration of our royalty are you listening to me that's why a crown of Tong was put everything that happened to Jesus from Gethsemane was the substitution and so they took him he was naked why because the first Adam lost the glory and he was naked I hope you know that all the covering you see around Jesus was just for social reasons he was naked now when they took him this is what Isaiah saw he said who has believed our report to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed he saw Jesus battered the same Jesus that he said unto us a child is born unto us a son is given now Isaiah in his prophecy he was seeing in a vision and he saw Jesus disfigured he said he was bruised beyond recognition he said by whose stripes we are healed watch this so Jesus Christ was taken and the Roman weep this is how they flug people Sam put your hand here watch this so that there's no hope of touching it it's not the way they flog people now and when it was a way of torturing criminals are you listening to me the Roman whip had about 10 compartments and at the tip of it they used bottles and nails it was a way to torture criminals so that they confess when they FL you with that can you say there's no hope of lying let me just tell the truth there's there's there's no hope of lying is not wisdom now I want you to understand I'm teaching you the subst this is what Paul saw by Revelation because he was not there when this was happening are you following me now and they flood him every time they flood you the caning will wrap around you and hook to your flesh so when they pull it out part of your flesh will fall that's why that's how they beat Jesus now Isaiah was seeing this and he said this was in exchange in exchange to restore you to health because the soul that sins it shall die are you listening to me now when Christ was suffering you were in him are you listening to me why because we took of the communion together so now whatever he's going through in the realm of the spirit were this is what he would have gone through for your own sins but Christ said let me show you love he said you just step by I will do everything for you whatever the result is I will get it so when somebody tells you ladies when he say if not you enter well tell him just Love Me Like Jesus that's all I want and you will see whether I can truly love like Jesus do you know what Jesus went through we were going to die and Jesus said no you can't go through this he told the whole world he said stand Come Into Me by Covenant and let me suffer for you so that everything I'm doing you see that so Satan did not know when Jesus gave himself Satan was out to destroy the seed of the woman because there was prophecy that the seed of the woman will bruise the head of the serpent so when Jesus gave himself Satan was happy and he said crucify him he did not know that there was a covenant paying the price for the whole world are you getting it now so he was happy when they were beating Jesus and the life of the flesh is in the blood when Man was created from the beginning there was no blood when Jesus Christ resurrected there was no blood and it is that bloodless life that he gave you follow me listen listen listen I want to shock you I know many of you say I don't deceive us okay Hallelujah now Jesus was beaten when he was beaten they spot on him they did everything the Bible says in Galatians chapter 3 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law who are the US Gentiles being made what how did he redeem us by becoming the curse according to Jewish culture every man who carries a tree you know it was a tree that fell man from the beginning so Christ had to now carry that tree are you listening to me it was from the fruit of the tree that man solidified his fall now he lifted it to go go go is called the place of the skull that was where Adam it was where Adam died the skull the place of golgot Goot means the place of the skull the exact same place he was going there to be the second Adam are you listening to me now when he took off the cross he became the curse so that in him I was carrying my cross too are you listening to me and then while he was going to that cross he encountered a man called Simon Simeon of sirene you know who Simeon of sirene is he was a black man this is why I tell you Africa and the black race participated in the substitutionary work of Christ that's why there is a glory that Africa will reveal before Christ comes yes it's prophetic when Christ was suffering the Bible says that who will partake of the sufferings of Christ and the glory that follows so that Simon was a black man it's not today they started beling the black race and so they said Carri the cross now the African continent in one man participated and helped Jesus Christ helped him and took that cross and he took him to the Cross watch this now Jesus is in the cross there two thieves whatever they stole they on one side and another side and Jesus is here are you listening to me now he stretched his hands listen the death on the cross was the worst form of death they will call everybody in the City to come and look at you Jesus was hung naked a 33 year old man the only clothing on him was the blood watch this and he stood on that cross and when they nailed him his hands and his feet blood was already flowing listen the moment the blood touched the Earth it gave room for the atonement of our sins are you listening to me because man was made from the earth when that blood touched the earth when he hung upon that cross it was a substitution it was him Conquering the tree and the power of the nature of Satan are you listening to me and he hung there on that cross and then they pierced his side and blood and water came out meaning he died of a ruptured heart Jesus hung there and while he looked at the he looked at everybody the father had turned again against him because the father turns against every sinner now Jesus had become a sinner and when he looked to Heaven he didn't see the father looking at him again and he said Eloy Eloy lak he said how will you turn your face now Jesus had become you and me are you listening to me the Holy Spirit was not there to help him no angel was there to help him he was alone on that cross and then he gave up the ghost guess what happened when he gave up the ghost he had died there was joy in hell why because the seed of the woman who was prophesied that would bruise the head of the serpent and restore man had now died but they did not know that except a corn falls to the ground and dies this was a prophetic mystery it was the secret of reproduction so Jesus slded himself in upon the earth when they were bearing him it was that seed that Seed of Abraham that will be swn upon the Earth and suddenly he appeared in hell they just saw Jesus Christ appearing in hell and Satan said what a mean why did he go to hell because when Sinners die they go to hell Jesus died a sinner he couldn't have gone to heaven he went to the hell that we were all supposed to go to that means there is no need for anybody today to go to hell again because he has tasted death once for every man are you getting blessed we'll soon Round Up And now when he went to hell the Bible say say that all of the cohorts of hell were on him remember that all satan wanted was to be acknowledged as one above God now Christ came as the express image and Satan told him if you would just bow down to me I will give you the whole world Jesus never said it's a lie you don't have the whole world because as at that time Satan was the he held the keys that he collected from Adam are you listening to me he held the keys and so Jesus went that was the key that held your Destin Destiny your life your breakthrough your healing for the entire race you couldn't have done it by yourself and so Jesus said don't worry I'll will go and do it for you now when he stepped all the demons were upon him because Satan said you must bow to me by force he said everyone in Hell bows to me and now Jesus shows up and says Satan you will bow to me you get the war that was happening here that's why the Bible says he made a public show of them what drama was going on in Hell follow me and when he the legal claims of Justice I've explained to you the concept of Justice if somebody is steals in your house and you take the person to court what happened if they tell a person give him 30 lashes as they are lashing the person the the pain of that person is consoling you are you listening to me is that correct that's how because man offended the father it was the punishment of man that will appease him and Jesus became that one so for every time they were op there was a measure of justice that will appease The Father's Heart that's why nobody protected Jesus until the legal claims of Justice was full and he said all right the father's had is atace and Jesus got up and made a public show the Bible says you know what he Mak make a public show have you watched wrestling where the other party didn't even punch the person once that's what happened and then he went to Satan watch this when he went to Satan he said give me the keys which keys of Joshua Salman's life and Destiny in the Book of Revelations he said I am he that was dead but now I'm alive and I hold the keys you see that when he said that watch this in him every one of us stretch our hands by Covenant and said let me have my own too and that of my father and my mother and my brother this is what Paul saw by Revelation now he collected the keys Follow Me Now Psalm 24 before when he when he had the keys no don't open we're out of time when he got the keys he was about to go out and suddenly there was a Clarion call lift up your heads and be ye lifted oh ye ancient do hold hold on those Gates were living they were not dead those were the gates of hell he said I will build my church and the gates of hell those Gates were the gates of hell because no man listen until that time ever was permitted to go condemned as a sinner and then come back again into the world to come and redeem men but here was this man he came and there was an announcement from Heaven lift your head in other words gates open up somebody's about to leave hell and come back again and the gates ask a question they said who is this king of glory look at the words King of the glory Glory that man left and then he said who is this king of glory and the voice said the Lord why did he give him the attributes of a warrior he just conquered Satan he said the Lord strong and mighty and the gates asks again lift up your he said lift up your head oh ye gates and be ye lifted oh ye ancient they had swallowed people nrod ah has different people followed that gate and he said there is the king that entered and wants to ride back who is this King he said the Lord of hosts is his name suddenly the Gat opened and Jesus stepped in and the Holy Ghost because all this happened in the realm of the spirit on the third day suddenly the father said Angels you can go and Michael came and rolled the stone and sat and said let me see the person who will come and roll it back and the Holy Ghost came listen that's the work of the Holy Ghost now listen the physical body of Jesus had been decaying there are you listening but when the Holy Ghost came because listen Jesus the spirit body of Jesus was now alive and now they needed a quickening if that same spirit that did whatever he did to that body now lives in you he said the exact same way he turned a mommy and removed every biological de composition that same spirit and he came upon that body suddenly Jesus was confortable to enter his body when he entered his body he got up and he stepped out when he stepped out he stepped out in glory and the the disciples were hiding and he stepped in watch this he the moment he resurrected he started manifesting the character of spirit beings walked through a war and he said all hey H in other words job done when when Mary saw him she wanted to touch him she said ronai he said No don't touch me you will corrupt this thing I have not yet ascended to my father why because he would according to Hebrews he would need to be the high priest remember that when he talks about atoning the word atone means to cover now in the Jewish culture that you need to atone for the sins of the people using a lamb that was one year old and it was spotless now Jesus became the lamb the problem is or the the advantage is that he doesn't have age so the age of the Lamb determines the validity of the atonement now Jesus became the lamb and poured the blood from that ageless lamb and he became the high priest again and carried the blood took it to the Heavenly Tabernacle poured it once upon the mercy seat and said all right priest and everybody your error ends we don't need you again suddenly he was able to step down and he said guys all hail it says all authority listen Philippians chapter 2 happened before he came back that was where the coronation service happened immediately it was not when Jesus left in the book of Acts no he had become Lord and then he came and said oh hell all authority in heaven and on Earth has now been given unto me he said you now go in that Authority are you are you are you following me now so how does this apply to you now watch this the moment Sam comes out for alar call watch this please and you confess the lordship of Jesus over your life and you believe in his substitutionary work not just that he died for you but that you died in him say I died in him I was wounded in him I paid the price in him I the moment you make that decision what happens this Rob remember our good old rope again the very righteousness of Jesus even if you were a drunkard right there with alcohol in your stomach listen you look exactly like Jesus before the father and now jesus takes you as the mediator and says father behold and the father said I cannot see a sinner all I'm seeing is somebody as exact as you we are now partakers of his divine nature this is your present da reality in Christ now demons listen when you catch this Revelation and you activate it the realm of the spirit will receive the signal that you know who you are are you listening to me and the Seal of the blood is upon you and the proof that the deal was done is he sends the Holy Spirit to come into you whereby you cry ABA father now you can call God my father you're not just a stranger somewhere are you listening to me now the Holy Ghost comes what happens when he comes you are Blood Washed you are redeemed if Jesus Christ comes are you going to go to heaven yes you will why the proof that you go to heaven is that you have the Holy Spirit any man that does not have the Holy Spirit in him cannot go to heaven are you listen to me now what you call eternal life look at me eternal life is not life after death eternal life is the presence of the holy spirit in a man he is the life of God the one who brings eternal life to you and then you are sealed with the blood so you have been an arm robber you have been a cheat you have been whatever you are this is why a lot of people cannot understand the message of righteousness because it looks like it's unfair how can you say I've been a I've killed people I've done all kinds of things the moment I come to Christ with a broken heart suddenly I become the righteousness of God in Christ and he looks at you listen to what God says he says not guilty let me shock you do you know what not guilty means not guilty means you did not commit any sin come on God come on God when we say guilty but pardoned it means you fell are you listening to me and somebody has bailed you but now God says you are not guilty not guilty means whoever was on the cross was the person who committed that sin and now we see Christ on the cross and he looks at you and says you are free Lord I'm free free I killed people I drank alcohol I did all kinds of things he says whatever you are saying I cannot see you again there is an eclipse of the blood between me and you and anything seen through the blood is Holy that's why the Holy Spirit the spirit of Holiness comes upon you so say I'm the righteousness of God now look at this now this guy is Born Again watch this Sam is born again but he finds himself walking in a path that is ungodly assuming he finds himself fornicating again and this guy loves God he's born again he's praying in tongues and he finds himself what happened the Bible says I write these things to you that ye sin not he said but if you sin ye have an advocate with the father even Jesus the righteous this is the hope of the Believers listen to me that you are the righteousness of God and listen listen please I need you to get this when a Believer Falls or a Believer commits Act of sin what happens has the person lost his salvation no no there are two conditions to lose salvation one is that you practice the sin of rebellion what is rebellion willful Perpetual continual breaking of the laws of Christ consciously if I'm here now and I'm preaching and I know I'm going to go and drink tomorrow I know it's wrong I plan it it's in my mind that's Rebellion Rebellion shifts you out of the covering of the grace of God and outside of his grace what you see is Judgment are you listening to me so God is not some perfect God who is waiting and the moment I look at this person and I'm angry and I just slap he hell no if that's the condition nobody will go to heaven not even me look at the way I shout at you all the time and then I'm talking of going to heaven this is the revelation of a guilt-free life now watch this a lot of Believers have carried this and said ah so if whatever I do so long as my conscience is clear and I can open up my heart and be repentant before God it means that I'm free that means I can go and sleep around with every lady in the world and suddenly just go to God and say Lord you won't happen again please forgive me Paul say shall we continue in sin that Grace May abound but you see you're not going to stop when you preach and tell people stop sinning stop this if they could do it they will not do it in the first place there is an ability that you need to tap into are you listening to me it's called the red Redemptive grace of God so I've been bought with a price Satan cannot look at me and remind me of my yesterday therefore If any man therefore if any sinner if any smoker if any malpractice practitioner be in Christ what happens he is it doesn't matter what happened in the past say my past is pasted say it my past is pasted my P is so that somebody does not come and tell you when you were 4 years old Sam your mother kept money at the back of this you carried it if you are in Christ you are a new creation say I'm a new creation say I'm a new creation so why do you still feed on the word of God when you are a new creation you feed on the word of God because now you need to renew your mind receiving the end of your faith even the salvation of your souls you will need to renew your mind and come into the experiential reality of what Christ has done watch this that's why you can see people say I am in Christ and I am a new creation but what you see in their life you still see curses you still see curses you see them suffering the things that they are saying I am free from because it's not just just confession alone now you listening to me confession must also follow an activation walking in the truth and walking in the reality of the word this is why we are teaching you the word otherwise there will be no need we can just stop and say there's no need to come to church again you are in Christ go and you will suffer and as if Christ did not die for you so we begin to teach you the principles and you begin to receive this the Bible says we are seated in Christ say I'm I'm seated with Christ Christ I have been crucified with Christ I have been crucified with Christ rise up on your feet say I have been crucified with Christ my past is pasted I'm a New Creation in Christ I love the Lord the nature of sin is broken in my life guilt is broken in my life now look at me please let guilt end

salvation say I'm Heaven bound because I'm in Christ I'm confident of my position far above principalities far above powers and the Bible says listen he said as he is right now so are we in this life as he is who is he a king so I'm a king the life that flows in him not when he walked upon the Earth his present day reality I have the divine nature a life immune to sickness a life immune to failure

Hallelujah so listen when Satan goes to your past he's supposed to see Jesus there on the cross if Satan is still seeing you is because you don't have a revelation of of what Christ has done therefore If any man is in Christ say I am in Christ say I'm in Christ Hallelujah we have been raised up listen to me listen listen you have been raised up above the king in your village above the shrines in your village where they took your name are you listening to me above all of these things you are being raised up in your family there are things that can cause men everybody is dull in your family you

every time they say you you are always is not for us they can't bless me when you see blessings in the word you laugh and say my Village me that my accent I'm even sounding when I speak you know I come from this vage what is our business with that the Bible says you have been raised up when demons knock your door they can't see you you are above listen something happened oo was sitting in his paror and he was praying in tongues am robas entered and they were searching they didn't see him that's why demons demons should not be able to find you I tell you you are seated with Christ you are seated with Christ you are seated with Christ i' like you to just imagine Jesus sitting and then he called you and said come come come be SE with me finally you are going to rebuke everything listen come against sickness mention all the things you are above don't keep quiet there are some things that are making you look like what we are preaching to you is a lie now is the time to confront them

You are my [Music] own seeking you as a precious TR not to give I'll be your you are my [Music] Hallelujah pride pride number two quickly the second reason why people do not experience the outstretched arm of God in their lives is ignorance and Disobedience to God's principles please listen very carefully ignorance and Disobedience to God's principles the systems of the Kingdom the kingdom of God and the dealings of God with man is broken into systems listen carefully the system of God's dealing with man represents his model ofandi as far as certain outcomes are desired are we together now it is part of the assignment of every leader in Partnership every Pastor businessman career person every believer in partnership with the Holy Spirit to explore the systems of God and understand the keys that he has a portioned to be responsible for certain outcomes in our lives please listen not every key opens every door that you are holding keys does not mean the door you want will open no we have been given the Keys of the Kingdom and we must know the systems that are responsible please pay attention to what I'm telling you there is a system in the dealing of God with men that is responsible for longevity there is a system that is responsible for the impartation of the life and the power of God in a man there is a system that is responsible for wealth and prosperity there is a system that is responsible for favor there is a system that is responsible for defense that when men and the powers of Darkness rise against a man there is a system a man can operate with God that can build a shield of resistance mysteriously you walk out of things that should have killed you as though the devil does not exist it is not lock everybody say systems if you do not understand the systems of God give us Ephesians chapter 4 please Ephesians chapter 4:18 the Bible says having their understanding darkened listen carefully having their understanding darkened then he said is being alienated taken apart from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them when the understanding of a man is darkened you can be alienated from the reality of God's life so you will read it in the Bible you will even confess it but your life will be barring of that experience because there is a system are we together on Earth there is a system by which men grow correct from a baby to an adult there is a system there is a system with which a woman is able to take child and give birth there is even a Time range for it so it is in the realm of the spirit the ignorance of Believers not just in knowing what we want we all know what we want but the Keys of the Kingdom designed by the wisdom of God to deliver that result so what we do in the body of Christ largely is guess work we apply at random several scriptural principles that we hope will address our issues of concern and the danger is if and when they do address that issue we cannot reproduce it because we do not know which one exactly produce the result so we call the blood of Jesus we invoke the name of Jesus we call the word we sow seeds we take communion and then we do all kinds of things we pray and then we get the result now the danger is we cannot teach another person there is an exact system that is responsible for what you and I are looking for tonight are we together you heard the testimonies of some of our loved ones here look at this kind of results there is something responsible the Bible says they are life to those who find them and then Health to their flesh it didn't say they are life to to Christians no no that understanding that because it is in the Bible your life should experience it is deception and fallacy between th sayth the Lord and it came to pass is your participation engaging the systems of God accordingly that's what is responsible for the delivery of the outcomes in our lives I've said it here again Satan is never afraid of the word read your Bible there is there is no place in Scripture that records that Satan is afraid of the word Satan is afraid of your understanding your partnership with the word is the dread of Satan in fact the Bible says speaking about the soer and the soils it says that Satan cometh immediately and takes the word and the word does not react on him because the word in itself is barring and unprofitable it takes the faith and the understanding of the Believers to give life life to the word to now be able to speak the word of God is a bank of potentials activated through faith and your faith is the sumission of your understanding proven by your steps first your understanding then your steps your understanding is evidence of your conviction are we together now I've spent my life studying the systems of the kingdom and I still do Ecclesiastes 10:15 please help us let's Rush tonight Ecclesiastes chap 10 verse1 15 it says the labor of the foolish weth how many it didn't say it wees one from the group every one of them why because he knoweth not how to go to the city he didn't say there is no Road he know not 60:1 of Isaiah says arise shine Amplified says arise from the frustration and the frustration that situations and circumstances have kept you he says Rise to a new light arise shine why for your light is come not that your light is available it's always been there but the day it comes to you it has capacity to cause you to arise please hear me Believers God is not a Hammer he's not a magician there is always an engaging of the systems of God fear is a product of ignorance or inaccurate understanding of the systems of God the antidote to fear is not just casting the Spirit Away there is the spirit of fear but there is there are activities that results to fear [Music] naturally and understanding of the systems of God so this is what we desire but do we know do you know for instance Believers that in the economy of God with men there is a way that men can receive bad things that leave them we call it restoration we all know and we all agree that restoration is a possibility in God's dealings with man but do you understand the system there is an exact spiritual system that produces sees that outcome are we together now yes there is a system scattered in Scripture that distinguishes men and lifts them up listen let me tell you something the word of God is only profitable when we understand our roles in making the outcome happen the word of God is only profitable when we understand our roles the sumission of what the Bible calls faith is first understanding this is where the challenge is our understanding being faulty being incomplete being unfruitful so it is incapable of delivering the results that we expect and therein lies the power of Darkness leveraging on our inaccurate understanding of the systems of God and then we mock God there are people who have come with several situations tonight and within seconds we've not been away for over a week I mean it's it's been a tour right from the west down to the South and here and it's been an amazing time watching all the Miracles and the things that have happened you know I have wondered wondered just like those who receive I have wondered at how easy it is to get God's hand having the Readiness to judge all Disobedience if and only when our obedience is complete ignorance truly empowers Satan in fact there is a class of the Demonic care that called rulers of Darkness their Dominion is activated Whenever there is no light we must contend for accurate understanding there is no one in school to sponsor me I am alone so you say but there is a provision in the dealings of God with men where he can raise strangers he said it strangers will feed your flock keep the promise but find out the system that commits God to making it an epis in your life here and now otherwise we will continue to mock ourself again and again God said it but we may never see it in our lives someone listening to me here inside outside across the nations of the earth will need to realize that this is the key it's not God it is our lack of participation to produce the outcomes that we desire say Amen am this is the second reason why many people remain perpetually INF failure and defeat let me give us something Isaiah 31 is a scripture that blessed me so much and I think it will bless you verse 1 to3 those who depend on the strength stren of men the strategies of men listen to what the Bible says W to them that go down to Egypt for help and stay on horses and Trust in chariots because they are many it says and in Horsemen because they are very strong but they look not to the Holy One of Israel neither seek their god let's go to verse three verse three please it says now this is Egyptians that you claim are so formidable they are men oh are we together now it says and not God and their horses are flesh there is a limit to which they can defend you it says and not Spirit when the Lord shall stretch out his hands listen both he that help it shall fall and he that is helped now this is an ancient language shall also fall down two of them shall do what if God does not help you and your destiny helper [Music] together so it is never from men I've taught you this all every good and perfect gift comes from above through men to you from God through men to you so your prayer is not to men the God of All Flesh that can manipulate things according to his will from God through men to you when it becomes from men that begins the cycle of tragedy from your life anything God cannot give me let no man claim he can give [Music] me I know we say yes sir but we don't believe it it shows on our our desperation calling the attention of men You Are My Last Hope Sam if you don't pick my call I'm dead that's a man who does not know God because he said if you will not praise me it is still within my power to raise up things that should not do that God is only limited by how much we trust him his wisdom is multifaceted has the capacity to invent new formulas of communicating your breakthrough to you your assignment is to trust him enough who is like him Lion and the lamb Seated on the throne mountains bow down every ocean rolls to the Lord of [Music] lords never never allow your appetite or your perception of the ability of men and human strategies to help you to out run and push away the fact that you know God is faithful I know you're a businessman and I've read every Business book but buy and lared is only a channel every good and perfect gift comes from above I know you went to school but let me tell you something if God does not speak a word on your behalf your certificate can be a piece of paper on this [Music] Earth as sad as the recession is it has brought so many arrogant people to their knees men who think God is limited by their perceptions and whatever it is no God is mighty he's not scratching his head in heaven wondering what to do with Believers his wisdom is so infinite it reinvents itself to manipulate answers to men regardless of the circumstances You Are God Alone from Before Time began you are on your throne You Are God Alone and right now times and back you are on your thr You Are God Alone listen the next time a man tells you I will not help you you are in trouble thank him don't cry go back to God and say Lord how many men did you say are on earth 6 billion let your wisdom your Infinite Wisdom that can raise up Stones [Music] stones that can raise up stones to praise and glorify [Music] him I will never trust the strategy of men above God I love and know and fear him too much to be that foolish that a man comes and says look ay tomorrow I'm going to change your life just because you have 5 billion in your account that's a joke is it not until that man wakes up from the bed in the morning listen I'm I'm not I'm not teaching you dishonor remember I've taught you the gift of men I'm showing you the depravity the falsehood the waste of time that is committed in making men [Music] God this God is a mighty God your trust in him puts pressure on his Integrity pressure on his integrity that's what brought some of you here from so far you have put pressure on his Integrity I assure you he will not disappoint [Music] you Hallelujah all through scripture the Bible is full of God's promises and then attached to them are conditions that men must satisfy as a proof of their faith in God God cannot assume you trust him so he creates a condition so that your activating that condition is proof of your partnership that I agree with you it will be costly for me to take this water and then tell pastor aim I want to force you to no no no no I can't assume he's testy are we together so I say edim if you are testy I have given you access to this you're picking the water is proof that one you are testy but number two that you believe I'm not a liar now if you want to come and pick this water and the protocol stops you it you have you have obeyed you have put pressure on my own integrity and so I come in and I tell him no I instructed him he's acting based on his trust in me he's not acting based on Rebellion the problem is never the devil the problem is our fear alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them number three quickly the third reason why people experience failure defeat perpetually is the demonic oppressions demonic oppressions 1 John 5: 19 demonic oppressions we live in a world that is full of demonic activities and the Bible did not leave us in the dark as to the reality that there are forces of Darkness that attempt to contend with the liberty of the Saints it says and we know that we are of God read on and how many not Nigeria the whole world does what lith in wickedness like you say my child is lying on a carpet the whole world lies on a mystery of wickedness the condition to be a potential victim of this is that you are born of a woman the moment you arrive here that's all are we together now you know several people say who did I offend that all this trouble is all those things are they are just cultural ways of trying to manage pain the whole world lith in wickedness the moment Jesus was born as a baby all of a sudden when a star came at the East Herod the spirit of the Antichrist began to walk in Herod and they wanted to kill Jesus Even In Heaven There was war he said there was war in heaven a woman I saw a mystery in heaven a woman was about to give birth to a child and a dragon came and stood waiting to eat the child and the Bible says the Earth fought for the woman and took the woman to a safe place hear me brothers and sisters the Bible says forever oh Lord Thy word is settled it tells you the location in it takes faith and the operation of God's word for it to be settled in your life it is settled in heaven hence the dexterity and the order in heaven but but on Earth there are still forces contending with the purposes of God and the Bible tells us in Ephesians chapter 6 please give it to us verse 12 Ephesians 6 and then verse [Music] 12 for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities listen I want you to listen to my message against spiritual intelligence that message has blessed so many people I was talking with my mother Jimmy today and my mother almost made me cry and she said she was listening to spiritual intelligence so much and making several decisions in her life based on that spiritual intelligence will teach you not to waste your time being angry with men fighting men because every man every man is just is a physical form being manipulated by a reality from the real of the spirit you have to know this it is never about your in-law it is never about your son it is never about your daughter no no wasting time on men will make you hate people you cannot love there is a revelation that sponsors love so even if people speak against you you know that they are not speaking of their own peter tried to rebuke Jesus that you will not die on the cross he says Satan get the behind me and he said Peter Satan desired Peter said which Satan we came here together Satan desire to sift you like wheat but I have prayed for you that your faith fail not and when thou art converted strengthen your brethren because he will look for them too are we together it says but against principalities against Powers against the rulers of the darkness of this world against the spiritual wickedness in Heavenly places Paul himself was not he did not leave the church in limbo as to the reality that at every point in your life there are forces that will attempt to mock God here's a revelation God gave me recently every sickness every oppression is like a letter Satan is writing to God he uses men like the cvas and says I am making a mockery of men to prove that your word is not true are we together now so when I trust God and I still come and I'm sick and the sickness is eating me it's not about you Satan does not even care he is trying to use men the highest of God's creation to make a statement to the heavens that bowing down you did not do I am now using your image to compel creation to bow down to me and so when God finds a witness men and women who represent the systems of God who represent portals that manifest the multifaceted possibilities of God in the earth they now begin to rewrite in the lives of men watch this so this lady come darling this lady has cancer it's eating her up that's a letter from Satan it is never about the cancer Satan does not care he's he's contented with the statement and and the reaction of creation to him by reason of this are we together so when she comes for a miracle service like this God begins to Rejoice not because he just became powerful finally an intercourse between need and Supply listen every time hear me every time God heals a man it was not that night he planned to heal the man he had been navigating the need and the faith of that man to the grace the level it takes to produce that miracle and when two of them Collide there must be a miracle I've taught you something listen oh let me not go ahead of myself I'm enjoying myself here very seriously listen this lady cancer now I've prayed for her and she's not healed that's a double message you see that that message now her faith begins to fail her because she's saying but but I mean does that mean my situation is different and she goes to God Lord I love you I love you but then she begins to think and somebody comes to say look there's one man somewhere I'm advising you all this your Jesus thing me too I'm a Christian I gave my life to Christ before you were born I'm only telling you this what is there to just go carry one good I can even give you half of the money you see it is a statement Satan uses men their situations is like the pen he writes a letter to Heaven watch the ones you claim you died for baring of your faithfulness yet you study from scripture I have been young and now I am old I have never seen the righteous forsaken not his seed back for bread then Satan comes to write a letter that's why God is searching for men he's not searching for men to give them titles he's finding space in the earth through men so that the multifaceted dimensions of his possibilities can be made manifest now if this lady supernaturally get healed like the gentleman look at the guy that that that that that um that came back to life 25 people immediately 25 people because a dead body came back to life you can't deny that are we together that's a statement brothers and sisters tonight my father will write another statement yes will yes he will see God does not just write anyhow he writes in a way that he must force you to read it his miracles are notable ask Moses he made the bush to burn in such a way Moses could not ignore it that's the same way somebody will walk out of this meeting and all of a sudden doors opening opening opening [Music] opening Hallelujah opening that's the God we serve so when Miracles are not just a proof that a man is Anointed that's the last reason for a miracle Miracles are a message it's a reply from God back to men and to the gates of hell I am still faithful the lion the lamb my benevolence is still in force I am still good my Mercy endures forever and he uses men sometimes you see in his wisdom he just allows the devil to exhaust his knowledge then he comes in so cheaply and lifts a man and says Satan how about this when you understand this hear me you will passionately pursue the presence and the power of God not for fame you are seeking to give God space there is a statement that God needs to write to principalities and Powers they mock God in our lives are we together this is what happens because it's difficult brothers and sisters we are humans when your life has a track red cord of Perpetual failure it will test your faith and that's when Satan comes and tries to say where is your God you are 39 years as a lady you have loved God all your life no no marriage and I'm here I've been living my life anyhow I'm still married but another man she wants to add another marriage to me look at two of us brothers and sisters they are not speaking on their own it's a letter so it is good to give God thanks in that situation but it's best to give God thanks in Victory are we together yeah thank you demonic forces they exist they are real and they have made nonsense first Thessalonians 2:18 please let's hurry up 1 Thessalonians 2:18 the apostle was speaking and he opened us up to something very very profound I want us to read together ready one to read wherefore we would have come to you even I your breakthrough but what happened help me please once and again your breakthrough would have come to you your prayers answered already but Satan hindered us Satan can attempt to hinder men from meeting men Satan can attempt to hinder things from meeting men are we together now it's part of the reasons why we pray we pray because in the place of prayer we create our own climate and we command the forces of Darkness we enforce the victory of Christ and we clear the air for believers to receive the fullness of the blessings of God the last reason very quickly and then we'll pray why do people experience limitations in their lives they trivialize and ignore the place of spiritual empowerment this is the last reason the last reason I've given you four reasons why people remain in Perpetual defeat they trivialize and ignore for many the place of spiritual empowerment Ephesians chapter [Music] 6:1 we celebr Cate the anointing of the Holy Spirit In This Place not just the ministry of the spirit as you know we're on a series The Holy Spirit he says finally my brethren haven't told you all these other things finally my brethren be strong in the Lord be strong in the Lord and in the power of His the word might there means his resources his resources the power that comes with his resources there are arsenals there are Mysteries there are supplies of Graces and possibilities that make God God and the Bible says we should be strong in that the power our access to those things is what gives us strength in this kingdom are we together now there are powers of Darkness that will arise and contend with belever once and again Psalm 66:3 Psalm 66 verse3 let's read one to go say unto God how terrible are thou in thy ways help me please through the greatness of thy power shall thy enemies submit themselves brothers and sisters it takes power to reign in this Kingdom it takes power to rain in this wicked World it will take power for you to rise and not compromise yet Prosper it takes power is more it takes more than sincerity in a wicked and a depraved world are you going to bribe no I will stand in for truth that means there is no promotion for you and you can remain there for decades are you from so so so State no I'm not no you are not qualified for this position human sentiments it takes power to defy the wickedness of men takes power Hallelujah takes power takes power to build a Ministry much more than wisdom it takes the ability of God it says Rabbi John 3:1 we know that thou art a man Nicodemus seeing the mighty works of Jesus Christ they criticized him in the day but he smuggled his way to Jesus in the night and said Rabbi we know that thou art a man sent from God for no man can do these things except God be with him the anointing of the holy spirit is God's authorization upon a man to represent him God's authorization the anointing of the holy spirit is God's ability listen the capacity to produce God's result God's dimension of result can only be produced by his dimension of power and Grace we trivialize the anointing because we have been taught that the anointing is for men of God and since I'm not being called into the five-fold ministry I do not need the anointing no brothers and sisters hear me the anointing the anointing I've said it again I I want it to become a revelation in you that the anointing does not make the difference the anointing is the difference the difference between a man who Rises out of death and out of every challenge is the anointing a thriving Ministry and a struggling one the anointing a thriving career and a struggling one the anointing the anointing will be the difference between your next level and where you are now don't trivialize it don't say it is unnecessary no the anointing is God's advantage in the life of the believer it truly is an advantage I think it was the last set of school of ministry students I was teaching them when we were doing pneumatology I was teaching them about the anointing and I said this our Wicked World people ask you who is your father is an iron Bender Who is your mother she sells aara somewhere in the road no you cannot rise we are victims of the wickedness the sentiments the ethn religious biases of men in a world where people want you to bring something you need the advantage not an advantage brothers and sisters the anointing can take you where anything can take anybody the anointing Others May get there because of their connections Others May get there because Uncle so so so went and once you are there they ask you how did you come and then you laugh God's ability God's ability is working in me he's working in me is God's ability God's ability it's working in me it's working in me that will be your testimony it's God ability is God's ability [Music] working the anointing will always produce Supernatural results you've heard me say it if it is the Lord's doing then it must be marvelous in our eyes if it is a man's doing it is natural and logical but brothers and sisters when your result defies the natural progression there is another agency other than you when your results in any area of Life listen they called Jesus they said he was casting out Devils by beelze he said if I use beop the prince of Demons by whom do your fathers their fathers were casting out Devils they fraternized with the realm of the spirit access powers higher than a human power and we're producing results that statement shows that no man can do Supernatural things without the assistance of a dimension higher than that which you know yes yes in this day and age brothers and sisters the world is waiting for Supernatural outcomes you don't just tell somebody be healed that's arrogance without the anointing now let me show you something I've taught you this again and again but I feel like doing it let me use a th000 naira if you would permit me please look at this because so many people really do not understand the operation of the anointing I want you to learn this please by the grace of God and by the privilege of his grace I can tell you I understand the workings of the anointing I want you to pay attention and listen closely I may not boast of any other thing but I can tell you I understand how this thing works listen the anointing works like money watch this if I give you a Jimi 1,000 naira do you know that there are many things this can buy 1,000 na can buy this but 1,000 NRA cannot buy a car are we together now so when if your desire is to buy a car you need multiples of 1,000 it is good that you have 1,000 but it is not sufficient to draw to your life the result this is how the the anointing is don't say I'm anointed it must be to the level that is capable I told this thing is energy physics defines power as work done per unit time that's the definition of the anointing God's ability that is dissipated per unit time to produce Supernatural results that's the anointing listen if I try to lift this it doesn't mean I don't have energy it means the energy dissipated per unit time is small so I need another agency to assist me is that true believers this is how it is so it is not that the name of Jesus is there is not working it is not that the anointing is not working the situation that you are confronted with this is why Grace and peace is Multiplied because there are situations that defy that current level so he says Grace and peace be multiplied to you why is it multiplied how God anointed Jesus acts 10:30 look at the extent to which he anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power let me show you how to be a blessing when you contend with the spirit to carry a dimension of Grace and unction sufficient to solve most if not all the problems that you will find this is how you will be a blessing if D go comes here now and decides to give everybody 1 one million how do how many of you know that's not a prayer point for him because it is within his capacity are we together if coona decides to give everybody here 1 one million we have a problem somewhere correct not because we don't have money it is the limit of our capacity so it's not when when this guy has a problem it's like a shop there is a DI mention of anointing required to serve it so when you come to help him it's not just that you laid hands he may even fall down but the money is short what do you need more more more of the same thing not more of a different thing more of what the same thing so Benin can climb the stage and he's not even held the mic and 40 people rise out of the wheelchair you see that the anointing upon his life makes him see clearer the might and the possibilities of God when you are not heavily anointed you create a wrong picture of God because you struggle for little results and it looks like that's how much God tried to release that result but watch another man who comes with Grace and unction and you watch EAS as a testimony is called capacity the anointing makes God look Limitless Less in the Affairs of men this is why regardless of the results here and there that God produces we still remain in the secret place because there is more brothers and sisters there are people scattered here tonight if I ask everybody to come and hold the mic people will not travel from end to end there are people following from over 45 nations of the world they are not sitting down and wasting their time no no people want Solutions now a man of God gets here called Joshua Selman I would be a wicked man if I have not stayed with God sufficient enough at least at the level of the growth to be able to partner with the Holy Spirit that's why we cry for his Mercy because there are many situations that we need results beyond our current levels of dealings with God and we need the mercy of God to superimpose the current level of Grace that we carry that's why sometimes I tell you that God does not heal people just through a man's Faith he switches to the Covenant that that man has with him and it becomes a platform upon which he reaches men are we together tonight let me tell you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ that there is Grace to cause your mountains to look like valleys yes yes it doesn't take time it only takes time when an insufficient dimension of the anointing presented learn this about the anointing the anointing can greatly misrepresent God it's like a television that is not well tuned it will make you think the producers were that poor until you take the same video to a Clara HD television and that's when you watch the Artistry of those people the anointing can re misrepresent the capacity of God Hallelujah I take time to teach like this because the Miracles and all this will not take time once your heart is aligned to receive then you will receive Miracles upon Miracles are we together this is how he gets Glory when he finds men who are heavily anointed please please hear me never be caught up by the results you currently have now no matter how great I tell you you ask the Lord my walk with God is as if I don't have an iota of his anointing in my life there is a standard and there is a capacity that I'm walking with God and I seek to get I have seen them in dreams and visions and I did not see this current level we are trusting God for levels where before coinonia starts before the first prayer Point half of the people who come sick are already healed completely one woman one of our mothers I met a new mother new wonderful mother in pacot lovely people those of you from pacot I know they're listening to me now they're following me lovely lovely woman I love you with all my heart and um the whole family I mean they just into this ministry with their heart she donated a car and everything for them to use for the program and she shared a testimony I think it was yesterday that touched me she had been having some kind of respiratory problems and so when they picked me from the airport her children insisted that she will sit down at that same place and that woman said she just sat down and the children drove her home brothers and sisters that was the end of it now listen listen when you understand the anointing there is something interesting about it when you understand the anointing and you are heavily Anointed The more heavy you you are anointed the will your will plays little role in its release it becomes wherever ask the woman with the issue of blood Jesus did not even listen now he was not planning she just touched him and Jesus said who touched me the anointing didn't say Jesus can I flow no so you can be in a restaurant you are eating and all of a sudden now you will never believe what I'm saying if you are casually anointed if you truly are anointed you become a blessing you greet somebody just shake his hand and that day he has more customers than he can ever imagine now even you you do not know till he tells you an effulgence of spiritual possibilities you your life has

sensitive things like this um they are listening and every territory has has laws are we together now things are a bit flexible in Nigeria but if I were in America and I'm talking to this man like

send people amen you see we must pray that God will grant us Grace so that we can help our mothers it's a terrible thing for a woman at this age to be praying as if she never had a child as if she

sadly being as the situation is we must be able to turn back and be a blessing to these our loved ones a woman like this at her age should not be going around trying to look for food to eat again I

the power of the Holy Spirit turned into a testimony Hallelujah this is the last phase of the meeting I want to pray and prophesy upon your life it will never Tire me to say this in my opinion the greatest part of this service is what is about to happen now because Believers are used to Charisma ISM falling down rolling and so on and so forth we many times downplay the place of Prophecy prophecy is very powerful and I've taught us that there are two Dimensions to the operation of the prophetic there is the revelatory dimension of the prophetic that God allows by his Spirit to bring Comfort to bring access to light and information that works hand in hand with the gift of the word of knowledge but the greater and more Superior dimension of the prophetic is the creative dimension of Prophecy where the word of God makes realities that have no business happening to happen the word creates a scene and adds it to the pages of your life so that something you had no business working in you will all of a sudden find yourself walking in it and remember I told us the last discussion before we began to pray that one of the greatest reasons why people are limited is because of inadequate dimension of the anointing so alongside this prayer I'm going to be praying a prayer of impartation there are people this thing is not just for Showmanship listen if you know God and you love him and you see the needs of people you will CT the unction and the grace of God this has nothing to do with Showmanship when people begin to make Showmanship out of it is is inaccurately used Hallelujah let let's correct things now let's recreate things now please lift your hands I want to pray for you Oh Come Oh Come Manu and run some captiv right Oh Come Oh Come emuel and ransome captive [Applause] [Music] Rejoice Rejoice for Immanuel has come to us his Israel in the name that is above all names I decree and declare right now every door that has been closed over anyone here in the name of Jesus the son of the Living God she I command that door be open now be open now be open now [Music] the Bible says have you heard of this saying that a city gives birth in one day but it said as soon as Zion travails it says she shall give birth a son I decree and declare whatever you have been incubating for a long time revealed to you by the spirit but yet to manifest there is Grace for performance and I command that you must have a manifestation now I decree it I declare it by the power of the Holy Ghost manifested blessings manifested [Music] Miracles Hallelujah I decree and declare where you have to struggle for everything labor for everything I open you up to a dimension of prepared blessings I open you up to a dimension of prepared blessings in the name of Jesus [Music] Christ I don't know who has despised the grace of God upon your life he said and jabz was more honorable than his Brethren I prophesy to you may an unction come upon your life tonight that will distinguish you I decree I declare may an unction come upon your life tonight that distinguishes you in the name of Jesus Christ the Bible says Elijah told Ahab saddle your ass and run for I hear the sound of the abundance of rain and Ahab was already light years ahead of Elijah but the Bible says the hand of the Lord Came Upon Elijah and all of a sudden he started running on Barefoot listen the Bible says that the disciples were 6 hours ahead of Jesus Jesus moving on their boat and Jesus got up and started walking on water there are many of you there are several things that have limited

Newton's response | Gravitation and Motion | meriSTEM
So what did Newton think of his realization? After Newton had theorized his law of universal gravitation, he wrote the following: " That one body may act upon another at a distance through a vacuum or, in other words, a force between two objects due to gravity which we know acts on masses at a distance without requiring any medium, such as air, to transfer the force. Is to me, so great an absurdity that no man could ever fall into it." So Newton's quote is referring to gravity which Newton calls "absurd". If you consider the mechanical forces that you've previously learnt about, and that Newton would have been counted, there is always a mechanical force at work that physically indirectly pushes or pulls on another object. For gravity, this direct mechanical link is missing. We tend to take understanding gravity for granted nowadays, but if you think of it from Newton's perspective, you can begin to see how great the leap this realization was for his time.

Sympathy For Amber Heard
so amber heard hey not a good position to be in that girl i feel really sorry for her i feel really sorry for her actually because there's a bunch of stuff that that i've noticed and she's come out of this really badly however she expected it to go however she most wanted it to go it really hasn't gone the way she could have wished and her prospects i mean however burning bright her her dream for her her career as an actress has been her prospects now at the moment really don't look very good right i mean if what does she do from now [Music] the reason i'm i'm looking at this is because what i've noticed is the media and the world are extremely exacting of women i mean this is a feminist channel but it's just the vantage point that i notice things from women there's such a high expectation of women and their expected behavior or behavior that's considered normal there there is such an extremely high still even today expectation of behavior from women there's still a double standard and i'm gonna get to the issue about the poop the poop everybody knows about the poop amber leaving quite an enormous parcel on johnny depp's side of the bed here's the thing have you ever seen jackass the tv show jackass okay if you haven't just just google it you're familiar with it you'll know what i'm saying oh you must be familiar with 101 different memes jokes and prank videos that the average coming from men coming from men and young guys all around the world and their pranks are ridiculous some of them extremely disgusting extremely callous extremely callous many of them and the world sort of goes along and goes oh that's just boys being boys that's just men being men they're allowed to they're allowed to to go ahead and do that kind of thing without much judgment on them however a woman goes and does something similar like that like amber heard in this case she does this thing if you look at it look at the prank yes it's disgusting it's disgusting sure but she didn't hurt anybody because that's a prank right it supposedly should a prank should always just stay as a joke and it shouldn't be hurting anybody she hasn't hurt anybody not with that prank but the world has a whole few roar about it everyone's going nuts about it men and boys and teenage men they perform pranks all the time that are absolutely disgusting one woman does it and everybody is leaping on her is her whole career gonna be torn apart by this one prank that she did where are we okay i'm gonna address her lying yes she i don't know i mean like i i don't know that much about her but from what it looks like and from the immense amount of the sheer scale of videos and reference to her all around the internet it looks like she's probably been lying quite a bit okay there's a fair amount of manipulation there's a lot of manipulation i mean she's acting there's a lot of acting going on you're not sure what what's real and what's her a lot of the time what i've noticed about people who lie lie just on default people who lie on default people who manipulate constantly lying and manipulating there's there's a reason why they're doing it there's always a reason why and what it looks like is that maybe in her past part by i guess in her past maybe in her growing up years what she's learned that works in the world is that her telling the truth is not enough her telling the truth is not enough whatever she has to give whatever she has to offer she has to embellish she has to maybe exaggerate or add something because she in her mind she will never get what she thinks she's due unless she fabricates on top of what is already true and this says probably quite a lot about her her past maybe her growing up years maybe she was you know what often happens with kids is they're not believed kids growing up in certain households just being just being the status of a kid alone you often not believe you're frequently not taken seriously and especially if you're pretty i mean ambrose drop dead gorgeous if you're pretty what is that there's a kind of there's like a pretty girl disadvantage kind of thing like you'll win in certain situations but in other situations it really functions as as quite a disadvantage because people seem to look at attractive people or girls let's just say attractive people and go oh that's your gift in this life that's your gift so i can pay attention to what you look like but whatever comes out of your mouth is very secondary or just by the way because your gift in this life is the way you look so therefore whatever you say you know you know what i mean so growing up where she did she was probably learning that the truth was never going to get her what she wanted what she wanted and what she felt she was due was never going to happen just being honest and forthright about things as they are something else i've noticed about this whole amber herd trial is so she's been in this business quite a long time like she's known since the get-go of what she she wanted to do she sounds pretty focused and she's been doing everything she can to get as much spotlight as possible to get as as high um in her career society as she possibly can not once in this whole trial has she mentioned any prejudiced treatment or any misogynist treatment a bad treatment from males towards her outside of not outside of johnny depp like she's giving her her accounts about a lot of things and she mentions she talks about her career before not once does she mention anything about misogyny misogynistic or prejudiced treatment from males she doesn't mention it at all but if you look at her if you just look at her you can count on it that that girl has experienced probably at least five instances in her life of pretty bald-faced prejudice and misogyny based on the fact that she's a very attractive female she's probably had come ons she's probably been inappropriately treated she's probably been dropped in favor of somebody else who had a slightly different you know thing happening and it was probably looks based not once does she reference any form of misogynistic treatment from the entertainment industry from hollywood and you know it has been rife right she doesn't touch this and i'm gonna say is probably because she knows it's in she knows it's useless she is it's useless to do this the me too movement like she can only she can't subscribe to it she can't subscribe to the rest of it because she's focusing on this thing with johnny there's there's some beef there there's some something going on between them there's there's all that they've got relationship history that i can't even begin to i mean i'm not even going to go into i'm not even going to try but this lady hasn't even mentioned once any instances of unfairness or inappropriate treatment but you you know they probably did happen you know they did look at her and i was gonna say like i think she probably hasn't mentioned any from the industry any misogynistic treatment or inappropriate treatment or advances in her whole career until now she hasn't mentioned any of it probably because in her experience and in her past she counts it as normal to her it's probably normal so she's not mentioning it she's not mentioning it as anything is special because that's just been her experience in past before she was saying how when she first met johnny i think it was on pineapple express that the really interesting thing the cool thing about hanging out with him was that they wound up talking about books and poetry and obscure um obscure books etc and that really blew her away because here she is talking about books and pop culture and that was probably probably one of the things that really endeared him to her because she'd probably experienced nothing like that before the average director calling her into his office is not going to talk to her about books and poetry and movies and whatever the average director the average i mean look at it look at the world look at hollywood amber heard are they going to be are they going to be thinking about oh i can probably talk to this girl about books no that's not on their mind at all is it no so yeah back to the all the the lying whether they be white lies or not the lying and the manipulation and the acting she's man she's got this whole thing going 24 7 it looks like it must be exhausting think about it maintaining that as long as you're on as long as you're out in the public as long as you're in front of cameras imagine maintaining that the effort the energy that goes into it it must be exhausting beyond words she must get home and just be like comatose on the couch i can probably see i can see that she must become a toes on the couch or she must be in a vegetative state in front of the tv just going i want coke and cookies and i want i want to watch junkie tv because my life is really awful and if you look at her that girl man she's not a happy person with all her build up for whatever she's doing if you had to look at her even when she's smiling okay you're smiling for the cameras in certain other instances before this i trial call her happy she's not happy there's a lot going on under the surface there i feel for her this kid the whole facade is there because she thinks she thoroughly believes that what she inherently is is not enough will never be enough so she has to build up something around her i read something once i didn't i haven't read many books by him but i have read enough from him and about him to know there was a guy carl c-a-r-l and then j-u-n-g call young okay and he wrote a really smart guy did a lot before you can check him out um dead now he once said that all those people all those people all those entities out there that are the source of torture they're torturing they are creating misery for other people creating misery creating just making life extremely difficult for others around them and creating pain and drama the torturers are the tortured the torturers are the tortured basically they torture others because they themselves are tortured souls inside them if they were completely happy and balanced people they wouldn't be doing this if they were completely happy and balanced and chill with no issues with no past horror or past neglect or anything they would be totally different people they wouldn't be doing what they do this woman is a torturer because she is highly tortured i feel that when i look at her she's a tortured soul there's there's a lot going on inside her and she has deep anger she has such deep anger i don't want to i don't know if i want to say hatred but she is deeply angry this is one thing about this girl she's so angry what's made her so angry she's she's not that old like i'm i'm 42 how old is she like 30s i don't know i i have no idea how old yes but what has she lived through to make her so angry i mean she doesn't look stupid like from what i've seen she she can represent herself pretty well and she uh she can you know she reads things she she has a good turn of phrase you know she's not a stupid person she's not and and going going through the world as an intelligent thinking girl female from the get-go what is it that's happened to her and she's come to this instance and she's just exploding with anger you can see it she's there's a latent fire thinly veiled fury thinly veiled anger that comes up obviously when she's under stress or i don't know if she's the she's a drinking type i don't actually know her deal with drinking but it doesn't seem like she is the drinker it seems like johnny's the drinker she's so angry i would say if there was any savior if there was any redeeming action that she could take from here onwards i mean this this case is toast for her this case is toast i'm not sure what she has in mind for a future but i would say if there was any hope for her future what she could do is take a deep dive deep dive into her whole psychological condition whatever is going on with her and make that her thing go wide open on her brain go wide open deep explore all the issues and maybe i don't make a series or something on maybe you could title it why why am i like this amber heard why am i like this how did i get here and her whole life story utter truth from the get-go all her thoughts everything behind it could be quite a story because where did her anger come from she's so angry she's like there are a lot of actresses and and personalities out there but i don't know if i've picked up this much deep-seating anger from someone before so what happened i would love to know what that is this could be her vein from now on like going back to regular movies no one's going to touch her but if she if she took this bull by the horns and she went with it and she just busted it right open and went right to the source of who she is and her whole history her growing up and everything and if she you know you use it almost like entertainment psychological education damn that that's what i mean everyone's looking into this nowadays the whole narcissism thing like how does that happen you know like this this lying this manipulation it's all pointing to the fact that they're very sure that what they are is not enough they have to embellish because they're very empty inside but with her there's additional anger there's such fury such anger there where is it coming from what happened to her what what what were the thought processes inside her that made her so very angry because i would say it looks like her and johnny actually really did love each other they really did love each other quite deeply and it looked like they met each other and it didn't take long for them to decide i mean he he has dated people for a very long time without getting married right but he meets amber and within a couple few months they're married i think she said she said she offered like oh maybe we should do a prenuptial agreement and then it just johnny said no never mind oh man what a mess hey and i'm gonna i'm gonna come back to the domestic violence thing yes you could definitely say that there's been some domestic violence i mean hurling glass bottles at people's heads or people's bodies of course that's going to inflict a fair amount of damage i'm going to say something about the seventh finger though the seventh finger i'm you have to admit she didn't mean to do that she threw the bottle with intent for it to hit him not to kill him just to hit him make him aware yes to hurt him too but i'm gonna say she threw that bottle with no intent to sever his finger she didn't mean to do that that that was that was horrible circumstance you know horrible accidents and the the the sad thing with her is like she has she's she's lied so much and manipulated so much in certain other directions so much so that people don't believe her anymore she has no credence so that even if anything she has said that maybe johnny has done to done something to her or has has been slightly violent to her or violent around her she's just not going to be taken seriously at all she's not taken seriously at all until now because of her of her lies and manipulation in other areas so that doesn't leave her in a good place either the whole the seventh finger and the poop two terrible counts against her even though with the severed finger she didn't mean to that that was that was circumstantial she really didn't mean to savor his finger that was a bottle breaking in glass and the poop it was a prank with no intent to inflict pain on anyone she was sending a message sure but i don't think she meant anyone pain with the poop no pain with the poop

Episode 11 − Exploit the Situation: Coming up in Episode 12...
In each of the episodes we tackled a different topic, ranging from illusions, rationality, learning to learn, up to the scientific method, testing claims, and exploiting the situation in order to predict and shape human behavior. Pick a few areas, and pick a few things, where you want to change what you're doing, and focus on those. Do not expect that you can generally increase the quality of your thinking, because I think you really cannot. The message is—when we're doing one of the tasks that we know that people have difficulty with or are subject to particular biases—just take a little time. Reconsider it. It's really tempting, when you're reading a newspaper or a webpage, to just kind of sit back and keep score of who's right and who's wrong, but it's rarely that simple.

Revolutionary War substantial opposition to British war intervention in America led the British House of Commons on the 27th of February 1782 to vote against further war in America paving the way for the second Rockingham ministry and the Peace of Paris topic antebellum era United States substantial anti-war sentiment developed in the United States during the period roughly falling between the end of the war of 1812 and the commencement of the Civil War or what is called the antebellum era a similar movement developed in England during the same period the movement reflected both strict pacifist and more moderate non-interventionist positions many prominent intellectuals of the time including Ralph Waldo Emerson Henry David Thoreau see civil disobedience and William Ellery Channing contributed literary works against war other names associated with the movement include William Ladd Noah Worcester Thomas Cogswell up a man a Simeon many peace societies were formed throughout the United States the most prominent of which being the American Peace Society numerous periodicals eg the advocate of peace and books were also produced the book of peace an anthology produced by the American Peace Society in 1845 must surely rank as one of the most remarkable works of anti-war literature ever produced a recurring theme in this movement was the call for the establishment of an International Court which would adjudicate disputes between nations another distinct feature of Antebellum anti-war literature was the emphasis on how war contributed to a moral decline in brutalization of society in general topic American Civil War a key event in the early history of the modern anti-war stance in literature and society was the American Civil War where it culminated in the candidacy of George McClellan for president of the United States as a piece Democrat against incumbent President Abraham Lincoln the outlines of the anti-war stance are seemed the argument that the costs of maintaining the present conflict are not worth the gains which can be made the appeal to end the horrors of war and the argument that war is being waged for the profit of particular interests during the war the New York draft riots were started as violent protests against Abraham Lincoln's enrollment act of conscription plan to draft men to fight in the war the outrage over conscription was augmented by the ability to buy your way out the amount of which could only be afforded by the wealthy after the war the Red Badge of Courage described the chaos and sense of death which resulted from the changing style of combat away from the set engagement and towards two armies engaging in continuous battle over a wide area topic second Boer War you William Thomas stead formed an organization against the second Boer War to stop the war committee Topic World War one in Britain in 1914 the public schools offices training core annual camp was held at Tidworth Pennings near Salisbury Plain head of the British Army Lord Kitchener was to review the cadets but the amendments of the war prevented him general Horace Smith Dorian was sent instead he surprised the two or 3,000 cadets by declaring in the words of Donald Christopher Smith a Bermudian cadet who was present that war should be avoided at almost any cost that war would solve nothing that the whole of Europe and more besides would be reduced to ruin and that the loss of life would be so large that whole populations would be decimated in our ignorance I and many of us felt almost ashamed of a British general who uttered such depressing and unpatriotic sentiments but during the next four years those of us who survived the Holocaust probably not more than one-quarter of us learned how right the generals prognosis was and how courageous he had been to utter it having voiced these sentiments did not hinder Smith Dorian's career or prevent him from carrying out his duty in the First World War to the best of his abilities with the increasing mechanization of war opposition to its horrors group particularly in the wake of the First World War European avant-garde cultural movements such as Dada were explicitly anti-war the Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918 gave the American authorities the right to close newspapers and jailed individuals for having anti-war views On June 16 1918 Eugene v Debs made an anti-war speech and was arrested under the Espionage Act of 1917 he was convicted sentenced to serve ten years in prison but president warren g harding commuted his

from the first world war in regarding the pain of others sonntag describes the book as photography as shock therapy that was designed to horrify and demoralize it was in the 1930s that the Western anti-war movement took shape to which the political and organizational roots of most of the existing movement can be traced characteristics of the anti-war movement included opposition to the corporate interests perceived as benefiting from war to the status quo which was trading the lives of the young for the comforts of those who are older the concept that those who were drafted were from poor families and would be fighting a war in place of privileged individuals who were able to avoid the draft and military service and to the lack of input in decision-making that those who would die in the conflict would have in deciding to engage in it in 1933 the Oxford Union resolved in its Oxford pledge that this house will in no circumstances fight for its king and country many War veterans including u.s. General Smedley Butler spoke out against Wars and war profiteering on their return to civilian life veterans were still extremely cynical about the motivations for entering World War one but many were willing to fight later in the Spanish Civil War indicating that pacifism was not always the motivation these trends were depicted in novels such as All Quiet on the Western Front for Whom the Bell Tolls and Johnny got his gun Topic World War two opposition to world war ii was most vocal during its early period and stronger still before it started while appeasement and isolationism were considered viable diplomatic options communist led organizations including veterans of the Spanish Civil War opposed the war during the period of the Hitler Stalin pact but then turned into hawks after Germany invaded the Soviet Union the war seemed for a time to set anti-war movements at a distinct social disadvantage very few mostly ardent pacifists continued to argue against the war and its results at the time however the Cold War followed with the post-war realignment and the opposition resumed the grim realities of modern combat and the nature of mechanized society ensured that the anti-war viewpoint found presentation in catch-22 slaughterhouse-five and the tin drum this sentiment grew in strength as the Cold War seemed to present the situation of an unending series of conflicts which were fought at terrible cost to the younger generations topic Vietnam War organized opposition to u.s. involvement in the Vietnam War began slowly and in small numbers in 1964 on various college campuses in the United States and quickly as the war grew deadlier in 1967 a coalition of anti-war activists formed the national mobilization committee to end the war in Vietnam which organized several large anti-war demonstrations between the late 1960s in 1972 countercultural songs organizations plays and other literary works encourage the spirit of non-conformism Peace and anti-establishment Arianism this anti-war sentiment developed during a time of unprecedented student activism and right on the heels of the civil rights movement and was reinforced in numbers by the demographically significant baby boomers it quickly grew to include a wide and varied cross-section of Americans from all walks of life the anti-vietnam war movement is often considered to have been a major factor affecting America's involvement in the war itself many Vietnam veterans including the former Secretary of State and former US Senator John Kerry and disabled veteran Ron Kovic spoke out against the Vietnam War on their return to the United States topic south african border war opposition to the south african border war spread to a general resistance to the apartheid military organizations such as the end conscription campaign and committee on south african war resisters were set up many opposed the war at this time topic 2001 Afghanistan war there was initially little opposition to the 2001 Afghanistan war in the United States and the United Kingdom which was seen as a response to the September 11th 2001 terrorist attacks and was supported by a majority of the American public most vocal opposition came from pacifist groups and groups promoting a leftist political agenda in the United States the group ANS wer was one of the most visible organizers of anti-war protests although that group faced considerable controversy over allegations it was a front for the extremist Stalinist Workers world party over time opposition to the war in Afghanistan has grown more widespread partly as a result of weariness with the length of the conflict and partly as a result of a conflating of the conflict with the unpopular war in Iraq topic Iraq war the anti-war position gained renewed support and attention in the build-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq by the US and its allies millions of people staged mass protests across the world in the immediate prelude to the invasion and demonstrations and other forms of anti-war activism have continued throughout the occupation the primary opposition within the u.s. to the continued occupation of Iraq has come from the grassroots opposition to the conflict how it had been fought and complications during the aftermath period divided public sentiment in the u.s. resulting in majority public opinion turning against the war for the first time in the spring of 2004 a turn which has held since many American writers against the war like Naomi Wolf were labeled conspiratorial due to their opposition with others choosing to post their anti-war writings anonymously such as the Anonymous conspiracy author circa fall the financial website Zero Hedge offered its anti-war riders the protection of the anonymous pseudonym Tyler Durden for those exposing war profiteering the American country music band Dixie Chicks opposition to the war caused many radio stations to stop playing their records but who were supported in their anti-war stance by the equally anti-war country music legend Merle Haggard who in the summer of 2003 released a song critical of US media coverage of the Iraq war anti-war groups protested during both the Democratic National Convention in 2008 Republican National Convention protests held in st. Paul Minnesota in September 2008 topic possible war against Iran organized opposition to a possible future military attack against Iran by the United States as known to have started during 2005-2006 beginning in early 2005 journalists activists and academics such as Seymour Hersh scott ritter joseph serine Choni and Jorge E Hersh began publishing claims that united states concerns over the alleged threat posed by the possibility that Iran may have a nuclear weapons program might lead the u.s. government to take military action against that country in the future these reports and the concurrent escalation of tensions between Iran and some Western governments prompted the formation of grassroots organizations including campaign against sanctions and military intervention in Iran in the US and the United Kingdom to advocate against potential military strikes on Iran additionally several individuals grassroots organizations and international governmental organizations including the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency Mohamed ElBaradei a former United Nations weapons inspector in Iraq Scott Ritter Nobel Prize winners including Shirin Ebadi Mairead

by Rupert Brooke German writer Erich Maria Remarque penned All Quiet on the Western Front which having been adapted for several mediums has become of the most often cited pieces of anti-war media Pablo Picasso's 1937 painting Guernica on the other hand used abstraction rather than realism to generate an emotional response to the loss of life from the fascist bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War American author Kurt Vonnegut used science fiction themes in his 1969 novel slaughterhouse-five depicting the bombing of Dresden in world war ii which Vonnegut witnessed the second

Conversational Principles, Lecture 15, Discourse Analysis, ENG-372
dear students this is your teacher said iran lecturer department of english caste the topic is discourse analysis and the course code is eng 372 this is lecture 15 and the topic which we will discuss is conversational principles first of all i would like to offer you an outline for this video lecture in this outline i have divided it into uh the previous concepts and then the current concepts so first of all very briefly i will uh recap some of the concepts which we have discussed in the previous lectures for example language functions so what kind of rules enable people to infer the function of what is said from its literal formal meaning like when we are talking about the functional development of language it means how can we infer from what is said to it has meant and how can we differentiate the literal formal meaning of words from what it intends to convey so for this purpose in order to discover uh how such influences are made we first try to examine the range of possible functions of language and then in the functions of language we talked about uh the the micro functions of language in the functional language teaching so some of the micro functions along with the macro functions of language we talked about in case of the classification of macro functions so we have talked about the the seven elements of our communication which are the addresses the addressee the channel the message form the topic the code the setting uh and and then uh based on these seven elements of language the language functions are based which are called the macro functions of language like first of all we have the emotive functions of language which means it communicates the inner states or emotions of the addresses then we have the directive function which means it seeks to affect the behavior of the addressee for example please help me or shut up the third function macro function of language is the fatigue function where we are concerned with how to open the channel or check that whether it's working or not either for social reasons or for professional reasons for example hello hi how are you or for practical ones can you hear me hello hi how are you the next function is the poetic function where the particular or the specific form which is chosen chosen is the essence of the message itself the third one next one is the referential function which means are carrying the information the content then we have the meta linguistic function which means focusing attention upon the code itself to clarify it or to renegotiate it what does this word here mean and then we have the contextual functions in which we have discussed that creating a particular kind of communication right let's start the lecture it's just a game so based on these we have uh the functions of language they have been developed and then how can we identify this like relating it with language uh teaching and then we discuss the functional analysis and coherence in this today's lecture we are talking about uh the current topic is the cooperative principles which includes the maximum of quality the maximum of quantity the maximum of relevance in the maxima manner so after this we are going to start what is meant by conversational of our cooperation principles they are called conversational principles or cooperative principles according to the cooperative principles conversation precedes according to a principle this is far from paul rice 1975 that conversation in whatever form it be it it proceeds uh it cut it is continued uh according to a principle and here draw is maintained that the overriding principle the principle which dominates a conversation is cooperation or a sense of cooperation the the principle or the driving force which guides conversation is a sense of cooperation among the intercuters among the participants so we interpret language on the assumption that it sender is obeying for maxims while communication interaction is going on so there is an unconsciously uh unknowingly a sense of cooperation is going on and it is assumed that the center is obeying the cooperative principle the four particularly the four are maxims they are be true it means the maximum of quality it includes b brief which means the maximum of quantity it means be relevant which means the maximum of relevance and it means be clear which means the maximum of manner so these four principles are followed in every conversation whether people are conscious about it or they are not conscious about it so the idea their conversation proceeds according to a principle it is known and applied by all human beings and it was the first time proposed although in a limited form by the philosopher paul rice in 1975 and who put forward the argument that there is cooperation among the participants which he called the cooperative principles so using this assumption and combined with the general knowledge of the world the receiver came reason from the literal semantic meaning of what is said to the pragmatic meaning and induce what the sender is intending to do with his or her words now in the previous lectures we have made it clear the difference between semantic and pragmatic meaning where in semantic meaning the focus is on the literal or dictionary or lexical meaning of words while pragmatic meaning uh it it means that what the speaker intends to convey it is called the speaker meaning the speaker intended meaning or the contextual meaning of words then we have like look at the example here bryce influence on pragmatics and discourse analysis is quite evident from his contribution in the field like if you see ah this a how is your hamburglar in b response a hamburger is a hamburger now there are different ways to look at this uh slice of communication between a and b like for example initially it would appear that as if b is uh inserting sort of insulting a because when a is asking how is your hamburger probably two friends are sitting in a restaurant and they are eating a burger beef burger for example so while one is asking how is your hamburger and b is uh responding like a hamburger is a hamburger which appears on the surface there as if it's an open infill but there are different ways to look at this uh response like b might mean that it is as good as a hamburger should be or it would also mean that there is no doubt about the taste or the way it is delicious or it is spicy so a hamburger is a hamburger and responding quite positively uh towards a so first of all let's see uh we have uh the maximum of quality the first magazine the first principle which uh means that is a participant in in conversation one should not say what you one should believe to be false like as a speaker or as a participant if if you you you believe that something is false you shouldn't say it it also means that do not say date for which you have insufficient evidence so generally it means the maximum of quality that uh there should be like you should be true as far as uh your contribution in communication conversation is concerned like you shouldn't say things which you believe are not true or are false and similarly do not say things or contribute things for which you don't have sufficient evidence then we have the maximum of quantity like the first one was about quality about being true about being honest uh and now it's the the maximum of quantity which is like how much one should contribute so it means make your contribution as informative as is required and do not make your contribution more informative than is required so it means that when it comes to your contribution in communication or conversation so contribute as much as is required your contribution should be as much as is required and you should not contribute more than what is required like it means you should be brief and to the point if you are contributing more than required so again you are asking for troubles it would be interpreted quite differently the way you intend similarly if you are contributing less than what is required again it's is it it's it's an issue uh and probably you'll be uh judged based on your less contribution so there should be a fine balance uh as far as how much you should contribute towards conversation in which you are engaged the third one is called the maximum of relevance it means make your contribution relevant if you are contributing in in conversation it is not relevant there is much digression or deviation or you will just start beating about the bushes and you are not focused into the point it it means like it it's the the waste of your energy and it's taking away uh the participants uh precious time and then you are just based on how much you are relevant in communication and how you are how much you are irrelevant so according to this magazine your contribution in in conversation should be relevant and to the point like keeping you the previous three uh two other two uh maxims while when when you are true and and when you are trying to avoid a falsehood and then you are trying to be brief and to the point similarly you are relevant and relevance suggests that you should be true then even suggest that you are to the point suggesting the maxima of quantity as well in which you are contributing as much as is required which also means that you are relevant so this is very important to look at this maximum of relevance which suggests and then you have uh the fourth one the maxima manner now after talking about the maxima of quality the maxima quantity uh the maximum of relevance now it's the maximum manner which means how should one communicate how should one contribute in in conversation as far as the main of your communication the manner of your contribution is concerned so it means be brief and be orderly it means when you are brief it means you are to the point when you are elderly it means that you are organized you are not disorganized in in in whatever you are contributing that makes sense so now if you see these four maxims you you might feel that as if there is overlapping it it also means that they are interconnected as well like you cannot have one without due consideration for the other as i talked about the maxima of relevance and how it suggests the maximum of quantity as well and similarly the maximum of quality where you are more focused on the quality of your contribution how far you are true and you are trying to avoid contribution for which you don't have sufficient evidence so if you are sure you whatever you believe is true you are contributing and whatever you believe is is false you you are not contributing and then you are brief it means you are to the point and then you are relevant it means relevance should be there brief to the point and then uh the maximum of manner means that you should be clear in whatever you are contributing there shouldn't be any ambiguity there shouldn't be any obscurity so you are brief and to the point and then you are orderly as well so using this assumption combined with the general knowledge of the world the receiver can understand can reason from the literal semantic meaning of what is say to the pragmatic meaning and can induce what the sender is intending to contribute so this is very important then as we talked about that we should try to avoid ambiguity then we should try to avoid obscurity here following the fourth maxim that makes him of manner it includes be brief be orderly you should be organized your contribution should be organized shouldn't be scattered you shouldn't be uh you know or talking nonsense you shouldn't be talking uh you know uh uh out of place and out of time you should be bringing clarity it means you are trying to avoid confusion ambiguity in obscurity so let's see work out the standard implications from the following slices of information implication what is said what is implied by the sender so look look at these examples a can you tell me the time b well the milkman has just been now apparently it would appear that as if b is not responding to b it is not relevant and is not to the point but from the context uh b implies that what's the time can you tell me the time and be responsible the milkman has just been it means we understand that a is b assumes that a is clear about the timing of the milk bands coming so in the responding like this will the milkman has just been it means for example if the milkman is coming at four o'clock in the evening should be assumes that a is clear about the timing of the milkman similarly look at this uh do you support manchester united be and is the pop a catholic so implication is here sometimes the mexicans are deliberately broken by the speaker with intention and then the implications can be worked out if the hearer assumes that the speaker is observing the cooperative principles so bryce called breaking of the maxims for communicative purposes flouting floating is like violating the maxims like violating the maximum of quantity quality in a manner then we have general principles of rationality it means that in the example a it has just been lovely talking to you we must meet up for a coffee and we respond i can yes we should meet uh sometimes so there are implications for youtube learning like whether and towards exchange aspects of speech work differently in different cultures similarly it has been lovely talking to you we must meet up for a coffee be i can meet you tomorrow morning at 10 so we should see these implications as well this is the end of this topic a couple of references to you thank you
