oAf31UD7Pxs | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAf31UD7Pxs | Sea of Thieves: How To Farm Ancient Skeletons // Ancient Coins And Pirate Emporium [ADVANCED GUIDE] | ahoy mates it's the curse captain here with a new advance guy dedicated helping us curve is increased your chances at spawning the infamous ancient skeletons to help me with this guide video I ran into an infamous pirate in their own right two-part legend that goes by the name of Kira Lee who's encountered them over 10 individual times so what are these secrets and how do you up your chances well sit back and grab yourself a drug because we are about to blow your freaking minds [Music] for all you pirates out there that don't know what the ancients Kelly is it is a creature that wind found and killed drops ancient coins coins that you can use with apart Emporium to purchase some very awesome cosmetics so learning how to up your chances on encountering them will help you parts be a little fancier and help your wallet be a little more full there are three tiers of drops that the ancients Kinley's will do Tier one stash will drop one hundred to two hundred coins tier two stash will drop two hundred to four hundred and tier three if you are so blessed by the way Lord Himself will drop four hundred to eight hundred coins now quick note here before I jump into the tips something to keep in mind is that the ancient coins are only rewarded to the crews who killed the ancients Kelly and the reward does not extend to other crews in your pirate alliance so if you're thinking you can just get a PvE grind server to farm these coins you my friend are out of luck so what are these tips I speak of well first you need to know that what I'm about to share only ups your chances on spawning the ancients Kelly's even with these tips they are extremely rare and it won't be like you see them on every island with that little disclaimer let's jump into this this tip seems obvious but it can't be expressed enough for you to even encounter an ancient boy you need to be on an island to do it now I'm not just talking about shooting over to an island doing a five second check around and then catch the mermaid back I'm talking about spending five to ten minutes on an island running all over it the reason this helps increase your chances there's the longer you're on the island the higher chance an ancients Kinley will spawn you can use this opportunity to collect supplies for your ship finding and treasure and even dare I say it fish in this example from Kiraly they were digging for grubs when they went afk and just for a second and that's when an ancient skeletons spawn proving it's the combination of moving around on the island and just simply being present on it give yourself something to do while you're checking Islands for ancient skeletons run your favorite voyage type now I'm going to make a suggestion here that if you're a pirate legend I would just simply run an Athena voyage as it gives you the best of all the world's multiple maps on different islands each requiring you to spend a little bit more time than normal however if you're not yet a pirate legend the voyage I would throw down would be an order of souls one being that I don't think skeletons like it when you kill other skeletons but number two skeletons can take a bit longer than normal to finish however a gold horror voyage can still be really lucrative in fact you know those riddles you avoid like the Black Plague itself yeah they will help you increase your chances big-time because well if you're like me reading is hard and I hate looking for the stupid clues so you'll end up killing more time than usual anyway you'll be running all over an island looking for clues and it'll take you about five to ten minutes to do it now last thing here I heard a rumor that they can spawn more often on the shores of gold not sure if this is true but hey it's another island you can run around on if you have time to kill just go fish as confirmed from clearly you know the pirate who's encountered 10 of these ancient skill teams already yeah you do not need to be moving for these skeletons to spawn which means if you're like fishing there's no better way to get these skeletons to spawn however my tip here would be to not spend over 30 minutes on any one island by switching it up you're increasing your chances so fish on one island for a little bit and move on to the next one in fact you can even counter these creatures on forts so if you're after those battle gills there's still an opportunity for you to encounter them you may just need to keep an eye on your horizon and watch your back while you're fishing [Music] something terribly sad is having an agent skeleton spawn and you're too busy or don't recognize the sound to realize that the opportunity is slipping right through your pirate hook as soon as you hear the first jingle you will have a total of 20 seconds to kill the ancient skeleton 10 seconds to dig himself out and another 10 seconds while he runs away don't end up like kirilee here who missed her opportunity to kill an ancient skeleton leaving herself in utter and desperate despair so to help you mates out I'm going to play that sound again so listen carefully [Music] so now that you know what they sound like here's how they look they are covered in blue and gold and have a big backpack on them which is full of ancient coins so the advanced tip here is make sure your music is not on full blast and your sound effects is turned up all the way this will help you hear clearly when an ancient skeleton has spawned now some of you may be wondering what does it take to kill one of these ancient skeletons well Kiraly has done the hard work for us here as well she's confirmed for us that it takes 4 slashes with your sword 2 blunders and no idea for the eye of reach in the flintlock I mean clearly can't do everything for us some of this stuff we're gonna have to do for ourselves but we can for sure confirm that it takes 4 slashes with your sword to kill one of these ancient skeletons they also shared with me that they noticed an increase of ancient skeletons if they only had one crew mate on the island at a time I don't know if this actually does increase your odds but hey it's worth a try the last tip I have for you to increase your odds is a simple one you need to sell your soul now listen hear me out hear me out I know you only have one soul but if there ever was a cause for selling it it would be to get yourself some more ancient coins am i right of course I am so next time you're on the ferryman I want you to have a talk with him and discuss the opportunity of a lifetime well that's it matey's I hope you found this guide helpful if you did I

1nbrn4jC7FY | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nbrn4jC7FY | How I travel with my dog while bikepacking around the world. Mira’s dogpacking set-up 🐕🤗💕 | thank you here there we are good girl [Music] in today's video I want to talk about mirror's basket I thought video was the best way to answer most if not all those questions we'll try and answer those today in the video where did I get the basket that's a question that's often asked this has come from a company called uline.com they are a warehouse supply company but they have all kinds of products they have these baskets or these crates these storage crates they come in a few different sizes the thing about these is because the company is set up for larger volumes Warehouse locations the minimum order when I bought this was three and it probably still is so that's about a hundred dollars for three baskets but you could also just use them for storage at home they're super useful and robust so it's not so bad initially the cost is a bit high but there are other baskets maybe where you live you can find something that that works for you and your dog size wise it is 22 inches long it is 16 inches wide and it's about eight and a half inches deep but I found that this actually works out the best considering that even at this height with it on the rack for the lips it's about a meter from the ground a little bit more than three feet so that's quite a jump for Mira to come in and out of the basket and I wouldn't want to go any higher and she's quite comfortable in this and it's stable so that works out well all the links I'll put in the description below uh how is it mounted pretty simply actually I have a uh a rack from the salsa Black Pearl which I had previous and this custom dog packing bike is basically built around two things really the rack has four mounting points which use an M8 bolt through there so quite a bit larger than the normal M5 that gets used as a water bottle screw the rack is rated for a hundred pounds with Mira the the food and my clothes I'm under that 100 kilogram Mark the basket is simply mounted to the rack with a high quality zip ties they're the T and B brand these ones are the ones that I've been using are rated for 70 pounds and a really wide temperature range they're actually metal core and you can find those at electrical supply or Fastener locations one important thing is the positioning of the basket so the basket and the bike are set up so that basically the the middle point of the basket or the middle point of Mira's weight is directly above the rear axle if you had any choice to move it forward that would be better than having it hanging off the back that cantilever setup and that's the problem with having a regular mountain bike and a basket of this size and the dog when the cantilevers off the back the weight balance is is shifted which means that you don't have as much control the tires don't grip as much and so in turns they'll tend to understeer and and slide out so it's very important to have the bike balanced like with the salsa black burrow the bike is actually right here you can see the bike is actually about eight eight and a half inches longer in the wheelbase and that space happens here so that I have room to bring the basket close to where I'm sitting close to my weight and not hit my legs on it I can't emphasize enough the importance of padding both around the rim where a dog's head would sit um or or would they lean against it and then also inside so here what I have this is a Cordura cover that was put together by Scott at porcelain rocket some years ago and so it's Cordura with brass grommets and then I've used um three millimeter nylon a Purl on cord and just pop some holes through the basket to secure that and so that's secured all the way around the front good padding and then as the padding wears out I can simply buy another pool noodle slice it down the bottom and and then fit it back on here re-tie the cord and then inside I have multiple layers of closed cell foam so these are the zedrest or z-rest and I think I have it's fold it in half each layer and three panels so in total six and then I have two layers that I use inside the tent one I is for Mira to give her some comfort and warmth protect the floor of the tent and then the other one I put below my air mattress to protect from any sharp objects Thorns possibly that I've missed in sweeping the ground before I put the tent down and prevent punctures in my air mattress typically how this is how we're using this mirror and I is on any flat roads asphalt dirt that you know they're pretty quick pretty easy to ride mirror will be in here she stands up or She lays down when she stands up you can imagine my my back is sort of in here she'll actually lean against me or if we're riding downhill she'll be in against me often so I know where she's positioned I can sort of feel her and it gives her an extra piece of support an extra point of support keep her stable but often she'll lay down here and so she'll usually have her head out to one side or the other and that's where that padding comes in handy so as we um you know when we go up a hill that 40 pounds that she weighs like to get it out so I'll just say out and she'll jump out of the basket and what I do so it's a long way it's a meter so either I'll reach back and grab her harness and and lower her down a little bit more often I'll use a leash so the leash is attached to this harness this is a lightweight version of the Julius K9 harness this front portion goes around just in front of her chest below her neck and then this belly band sits underneath there there's an attachment point on the back so that's uh sort of in their shoulder area and then there's a handle here that I can either reach underneath the harness in total or just grab the handle and I can reach out and lower her back down to the ground often I'll have it connected to the leash the rough wear Roamer leash and it's in the five and a half to seven foot range what I do is I connect this around my waist and then this link is enough that I can have Mira down on the ground and then back up in the basket and there's not enough really to get entangled in the wheels or anything like that so can I use the leash for a couple of things one keep her under control in traffic or around maybe around other dogs even I can lift her up and put her in the basket if I needed to if a dog got too aggressive and then the other big thing is mirror doesn't often look at the map and so she doesn't know how far we're going to go throughout the day and she just lives in the moment and so that way I can control how far she's running how fast she's running simply with the leash if we're out in the open of the countryside dirt roads and there's no traffic around then I'll just let her Roam and she'll run off and grab a stick or go find some water some shade and then she'll take a little break and then she'll catch up yeah that's how we work it on rolling terrain we could do it as much as a as a hundred times throughout the day that's a lot so I'll slow down to a comfortable speed for her to jump out and then I actually do stop and put a foot down for her to jump back in that way she's not going to miss it I don't want her to be heard this basket ends up being quite a snug fit for me she's got room to move around but when she's laying down in the basket she's actually pushing it up against the sides and that actually increases safety and comfort dogs kind of like that Den feeling and it means that she doesn't move around too much when she's laying down so the handling is predictable for me and she's just more comfortable if she's more comfortable she's safer and because she's not going to jump out she's not going to shift around and she's not going to get injured by the hard surfaces of the basket on rough roads the amount that Mira runs really depends on the terrain so she's she's not often running Full Tilt although she does on Long Hills long climbs like we have around here in Oaxaca then she'll she'll be out and then she'll be walking beside me or near me for you know several kilometers uh if it's rolling to rain then she's walking for a section or running and then back in the basket so it's never at a high pace for long periods of time if it's at a long period of time it's a slower Pace on single track uh that's where she probably goes the fastest where she's running Full Tilt whether it's downhill or on the flat then she'll be should be either out ahead or behind me and I've taught her the command behind and so if she's running behind me then I'm the I get to interact with other Trail users before she does so it could be people or animals and livestock you know it could be someone's horse or burrow and then that way I can sort of stop her and we have a safe interaction a good interaction and then also I can see the trail that's the other thing but she she runs anywhere from a half to a full Marathon most days so that's a lot and it means that I need to keep an eye on her pads of her feet and her joints ride on a consistent basis the pads obviously develop a thicker skin so they're very tough but I do carry dog sled booties they're lightweight and inexpensive I think they might be only three dollars a piece and this is definitely Mira's safe place I can you know go to a shop and to a store a little Tienda go to grab some food or a drink and I can just lean the bike up against the wall and then she'll just be sitting here in the basket protecting the bike sometimes I've come out and she's taking a nap and other times I've come out and they'll be you know half a dozen or more people taking selfies with Mira so so both happen but she's definitely comfortable inside the box so we'll talk about the pros and cons of of this setup and partly in relationship to using a single wheel trailer he is she's at a height where she's protected whereas with a trailer down low then that's something where another dog if it was aggressive could could reach the weight is positioned higher on the bike you know so we you know we tend to want to keep things down low for for control it is more or less permanently attached well I could remove the zip ties I couldn't remove this easily to go for a ride with friends on a on some single track or something like that it's going to stay as it is whereas with a trailer you know at a mountain lodge or one of the Eco centers around here or even at home it's easy just to disconnect go for a ride and then reconnect if you had a trailer weight distribution so with the basket it's mainly over just one wheel whereas a trailer a lot of it is shared between the wheel of the trailer and the rear wheel of your bike the other con is because it is so high it's a it's a athletic move for a dog to jump in and out so if you had a smaller dog you would almost definitely need to lift them up and lift them back out onto the ground and so that's more effort on your part whereas with a trailer most dogs can jump or just step in and out of the trailer easily so Pros why obviously there's more Pros than cons otherwise we wouldn't be using this so the the basket is simple and reasonably Compact and lightweight compact it is much shorter in overall wheelbase than it would be with the trailer even if you have a regular mountain bike this is only eight inches longer whereas you're going to have several feet of trailer out the back and when it's unweighted it does trailers will bounce and sometimes they don't track very well as they're bouncing and that can be hard on the wheels and the bearings and it also is not enjoyable to ride honestly but with this I don't have that problem it's uh it's very Compact and I often forget that it's on here when I'm riding I'm so used to it now the nice thing about the basket and where it is here is that it positions Mira very close to me and so even though it's higher she's actually very close to the center of mass which is me on the bike and like I mentioned before Mira actually leans again Anthony when she stands up so I know where she is if I hit the brakes I can feel her push against my back and if I'm turning left or right she I can feel that on there and so she's basically surfing in here it's terrific she does a great job and I can just reach back and give her a little pet I can give her a treat it's super that's one of the best best things about it so whether you had a basket in the back of the bike or up on the front of the bike it's nice to have that you know have your dog within reach you know that's a that's a real big question and the other thing that's super cool is that if I'm rotting towards people and they see Mira her head hanging out and often with her Rec specs on her goggles her dog goggles then people see this and they're smiling but I'm so close to it it's like they're smiling at me and that's a really nice way to move through the world is where everyone is happy to see you it's terrific when they see her they most people light up foreign [Music] | Omni Tierra_Dogpacking | UCbhTS_6ju4QJyQ_2O7zshfg | 2022-10-12 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 2,576 |

_7q3lAnD53M | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7q3lAnD53M | Secret of the Golden Flower 2.6: The Mind-Made Body | [Music] let's take up from where we left off but the heavenly heart in the head when would it have moved in the least dust thou ask can the heavenly heart not be moved then I answer how could the true thought in the square inch be moved deep stuff huh well welcome to the secret of the golden flowers is where we talk about the deep stuff so the true thought in the square inch is the realization of emptiness which is gotten by turning around the light reversing the energy flow from outward to inward in the onion chakra the square inch we've gone over this before I'm just saying it for those who are new emptiness has no qualities whatsoever it neither exists nor doesn't exist it does not come into being will never come into being so it has no past or future and no location where is emptiness well you could say emptiness is everywhere well if it's everywhere then it's nowhere because it's here and it's there it's over there it's in this it's in that it's everywhere yet emptiness is very difficult for us to realize because of our habit of creating a self is that as soon as we come in to be as soon as we make a self then we have location we have mass we have movement all those things come together as soon as you have being or not being because non-being can only be in relation to being just like darkness can only be in relation to light it's the absence of the same thing but emptiness is not in relation to anything and because of that it has no location has no properties cannot have any movement this is why someone who realizes emptiness is said to have all pervading knowledge because the emptiness is everywhere and nowhere it's a wonderful thing emptiness it's a terrifying thing because to realize that one has to go beyond being and non-being and lose the self lose the mind lose everything being and nothingness are opposites but emptiness is beyond all pairs of opposites it's simply incomparable that's why it's the absolute so the true thought in the square inch cannot be moved it's immovable because it's already all-pervading and absolutely so then he goes on to say if it really moves it is not well for when ordinary men die then it moves but that is not good it is best indeed if the light has already fortified itself in a spirit body and its life force gradually penetrated the instincts and movements but that is a secret that has not been revealed in thousands of years so this is deep this is very deep what happens at death and death the emptiness that is the field of awareness that is a beam moves from the square inch leaves the body and then the body dies so this emptiness is absolutely essential for life that's why it said every being has Buddha nature every being has this emptiness which is the field of awareness and of course consciousness is based on that so as soon as consciousness leaves the body body is considered dead useless junk throw it away get rid of it we don't wandered around because without that principle of emptiness the body then has no organization nothing keeping it together nothing keeping it functioning so that's the end of life that body but this emptiness goes on to accept another body according to the conception or the understanding of the realization of the being so I'm not going to try to get into now how the individual being or individual emptiness is distinguished from the whole because they were distinguishable yet because that emptiness becomes identified with the body then we have individual ilysm identity and so on this is a deep subject and it's best realized not thought about not debated or discussed and those are only words those can't really help us but as soon as we begin to realize emptiness this helps us tremendously now with emptiness or when we're coming from emptiness life becomes effortless life becomes easy because now there is no going out this only coming in the energy has been reversed the flow has been changed from extraversion to introversion this is meditation so when meditation happens at first it's in a kind of a controlled environment you're sitting there and you're concentrating and so anything but as this realization permeates one's whole being meditation becomes a constant state of effortless awareness spontaneous it's easy it's light it's beautiful so beautiful and so from a terrifying idea emptiness becomes a refuge unshakeable unchanging unmoving but this is the real Samadhi this is the Nibhana that one becomes as pool of emptiness that nothing can disturb is so wonderful and the key to it all is the spirit body the Buddha called it mano Maya kaya ma no Maya means made of spirit or mind made so the Mahamaya kayla is mentioned many many times in the Buddhist sutras let me read you just one with his mind thus concentrated purified and bright unblemished free from defects pliant malleable steady and attained to imperturbability he directs and inclines it to creating a mind made body mahamaya kiya from this body he creates another body endowed with form made of the mind complete in all its parts not inferior in its faculties just as if a man were to draw a sword from its scabbard the thought would occur to him this is the sword this is the scabbard the sword is one thing the scabbard another but the sword has been drawn out from this cavern in the same way with his mind thus concentrated purified and bright unblemished free from defects pliant malleable steady attained to imperturbability the monk directs and inclines it to creating a mind made body from this body he creates another body endowed with form made of the mind complete in all its parts not inferior in his faculties when a disciple of a teacher attains this sort of grand distinction low heat check that is a teacher not worthy of criticism in the world and if anyone were to criticize this sort of teacher the criticism would be false one factual unrighteous and blameworthy and there there's more many more knowing my thought the world's unsurpassed teacher the Buddha came up to me in his mind made body using his psychic powers again who dying I have proclaimed to my disciples the way to create from this body another body having formed mind made with all its limbs lacking no faculty and thereby many disciples of mine abide having reached the consummation and perfection of direct knowledge and there's so many more quotes I could spend an hour going through them I found more than 40 instances of this phrase mano Mayan que valla in the suit us now if you go down to your local Buddhist temple you're never going to hear them discuss this why it's more or less of a secret among the monks the practitioner monks the scholar monks avoided because they know they don't have it and they can't talk about it because actually in the suit does you will not find the method for making this mind made body so where are those instructions in the Vedas especially in the Vedas of piranhas and Contras that talk about bhakti now this is very strange well why would the scriptures on bhakti talk about something that's later on referred to by the Buddha but which is not present in the Buddhist sutras as far as the procedures that the techniques go because in the Buddha's time now 2600 years ago all educated people knew the Vedas they all had read the ad Hassan on us they all knew the Contras any educated person educated in the sense of having spiritual knowledge being a solder being someone who is meditating practicing on a daily basis they all knew this this was common knowledge not common but among the educated class of people the Brahmins at least and the Kings the Kings were hearing direct from the Brahmas so they knew these arts they knew raja yoga Tantra yoga so many things like this so the Buddha often referred to this knowledge in his suit tooth without giving it explicitly why because it was already available huh it was common knowledge just as if i were to say to you go down to the store and buy a package of vegetables huh you could easily do that without specific instructions because that's part of our culture similarly in those days this knowledge of yoga how to make a mind made body how to make an astral body was well known and it's very simple basically you create many many impressions some scarves mental image impressions or pictures of a particular type of body this gets back to name and form again you see actually the Buddha diggit did give the technique not explicitly but implicitly input teaches samu pada dependent origination now if you haven't gone back and watched the foundation series go back and watch those three videos now because everything I'm going to be talking about from here on involves putito samehada and I'm not going to go through it again okay rather I'm going to refer you to the materials where we already talked about that and where Buddha and booted us big who especially talk about it in their books so by this means by creating many many many mental impressions of a particular state of being one can achieve that state without fail in fact we do it every day we do it anyway but we do it without knowledge hmm look what are people doing when they wear a sweatshirt with a sports team logo on it common enough thing these days right aren't they say I have these qualities i am cultivating this mindset huh i'm trying to make a winning mind a winning body a type of self that can prevail in a competition that's what it means when you wear a sports jersey with a logo on it that's a simple thing but what about prayer in prayer one is putting a message out into the cosmos into the universe that I want to be like this and like that huh thy kingdom come Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven see make this earth just like the heaven not likely but it's a nice sentiment but what we're saying is if you create these thoughts again and again and again then slowly slowly that kind of body is created name and form we keep telling your name and form nama Rupa is the key to put teacher some upon it name and form I am a Buddha and what is a Buddha like so many qualities so by holding that form I am a Buddha I am slowly slowly one becomes a Buddha what are we doing huh when we sit in meditation posture well among many other things we're imitating the Buddha you see millions and millions of statues of the Buddha sitting down in a certain posture it's called easy posture or Siddha hisana that folding one putting one leg on top of the other folding the palms by the Dan Tien just below the navel it's it's a a mudra it's a physical form that embodies a certain energy flow and that flow is what leads to a good so we're trying to realize to realize means to embody the qualities of a realized being to situate the emptiness in the square inch between the two eyes and to pervade the entire body with that energy this leads naturally to the creation of the Dharmakaya the realized body and the mono Maya kaya but these are old terms they existed way before the Buddha so try to understand we're not talking about any kind of arcane yoga thing although if you want to create a specific type of body and let's say go to a particular planet and take birth there in your next life to have better conditions for self-realization you can do that too and these rituals these practices are well known in Indian society they'd been going on for thousands of years but then the reason for it got lost that's why he says this secret has not been given in thousands of years people know the procedures but they don't know why or people know that they want to have a spirit body a mind made body but they

XDxBMMd0eiA | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDxBMMd0eiA | 13 3 Using Exponential Regression Models Part 1 | hello algebra students today we are on page 631 talking about how to use exponential regression models when you see that word regression maybe that reminds you of back in first semester when we were looking at scatter plots and we used a line of linear we use linear regression to describe the scatter plot and whether it had a positive correlation or negative correlation or no correlation and we learned about correlation coefficient and things like that so this is an alumni expansion models so we're talking about those graphs that are exponential in growth or decay and that's that's what we're going to be doing today the whole purpose for using these regression models is that we can use regression models to make predictions and remember we did that back in the first semester with our scatter plots we could use kind of the trends of what had been happening a trendline to predict what something might be in the future and come up with what would be reasonable and what wouldn't be reasonable so we're doing the same thing it's just that we're using exponential models now so on page 631 in the Explorer section it says how do we fit an exponential function to data well one of the reasons that data is valuable is that it allows us to make predictions for values that fall outside of the data set in other words bigger numbers or smaller pieces that we we can't see in the data that we're given so in order to do this we have to synthesize that data into a function so again we're trying to get a function or because it's kind of like a trendline so that we can make predictions and that trendline for exponential functions is called an exponential regression so an exponential regression is a graphing calculator tool that's used to generate an exponential equation that fits your data for exponential growth or decay so it gives you the it's that using that stat feature again is what we're gonna do in our calculator just like we did with scatter plots and it's going to produce an exponential function that we could then use to look at the table of values and predict values that are farther on in our data set than what we've been given to make predictions so this is the stat tools on your graphing calculator or how we're going to do this to find the regression model for a set of data so let's go ahead and input this data in our graphing calculator so remember are we going to go to stat plot and actually it walks you through every step every button press in in this textbook pages | Tiffany Wood | UCPxmpZcN7hZT1Dg-Bc08Ovw | 2020-02-10 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 458 | 2,501 |
QEJtF58x_80 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEJtF58x_80 | AmandaFochMaja | damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn boo hello and welcome to a man is the most awesome movie about eutrophication do you want some tea in all world there is something called eutrophication eutrophication is happening when we are using fertilizer to give more nutrition to the soil so the plants were grown more you may think this is something good but there you wrong actually the nutrition contains nitrogen and phosphorus and too much of these two substances actually cause more damage than doing good especially in our c NS there are two main things in the seed that is affected by eutrophication and now we're going to tell you which first we take a closer look at one place here in Sweden that are affected by eutrophication first o'clock every summer this slimy nasty and green thing is covering big areas of esta ha these things are called algae this making the water not very nice to swimming and also not very nice looking at the second and worst thing is that the sea bottom dies for the two thousand square meters of mystic ring bottom is dead that's the same as a tenth of Sweden this is making esta Qin to the sickest see in the world now we are going to explain how and why this saves are dying and why we have all jase first of all normally they're all gay blooms or in the spring for the org a nitrogen and phosphorus of food there already is some of these substances in the sea and when the substances is gone the all these are not getting any bigger but what happens is that when we are pointing extra nitrogen and phosphorus are just keeping on eating and getting bigger and bigger and bigger your maker ogay are eating in a special way for every phosphorus it's a thing it has to eat 16 nitrogen this gives us a surplus of phosphor when the nitrogen is gone the aldi dies when there is no nitrogen lift but now there are another little creature that comes who is hungry they are called say owner bacterias and they are eating all the phosphors days left this cyanobacteria are another form of algae and that's why it comes all the blooms in the summer to Instagram now to why the bottoms are dying when are gay and sign your bacteria dies they are sink into the bottom of the sea they degraded and that requires a lot of oxygen if there's not coming any new water with more oxygen the oxygen finally is going to be gone this is not only causing that the bottom is dying because of lack of oxygen this is also causing another problem in a chemical effect the bottom are now going to start Lake phosphorus which is floating up to the surface so now we don't only have extra phosphorus from fertilizers it also comes from the bottoms a vicious spiral this goes on and on and alleys are growing more and more not only obligating dead bottoms and green surfaces the all gays are also toxic and can cause big stomach pains if you accidentally drink it so what do you do to help instagram well first of all we need to stop with the fertilization the other thing is that we can try to get the salt water to circulate so the bottoms get more walks gin actually there are a science group who have come up with an idea they have constructed big mixer you can say that they have put down in the water they'e try this in bill Jordan in Eau de Vala which is very much the same problem as in esta con and Internet it worked so that's also something we can do here you can see a movie from Jordan in woodville ah they are all very happy as you can see under the platform that you've seen this movie there is the same kind of mixer that we talked about before we hope that you have learned something today this has been Lydia wait for it dary bye | Nk Agneberg | UCZiTssKd3dCzQ78LTL6SQcg | 2012-11-27 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 697 | 3,653 |
H_a2exYCvLg | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_a2exYCvLg | Excursions, Ep. 57: Negative and Positive Liberty | welcome to George H Smith's excursions into libertarian thought a production of libertarianism.org and the cato institute narrated by james foster negative and positive Liberty Jason Brennan opens the second chapter of libertarianism what everyone needs to know with the question how do libertarians define Liberty he answers his question by distinguishing between two major kinds of Liberty negative Liberty and positive Liberty negative Liberty Brennen explains signifies an absence of obstacles impediments or constraints positive Liberty in contrast is the power or capacity to do as one chooses for instance when we talk about being free as a bird we mean that the bird has the power or ability to fly we do not mean that people rarely interfere with birds negative Liberty is the absence of obstacles positive Liberty is the presence of powers or abilities Brennan's bird does not serve his purpose it is a poor example when we speak of being free as a bird we don't usually mean what Brennan claims we mean to be free as a bird suggests more than the power or ability to fly it also suggests that the exercise of that ability is not hindered by external constraints the fantasy of being free as a bird is linked to the desire to be free from external constraints or as Brennan puts it in his account of negative Liberty to act in the absence of obstacles the connection between the ability to fly and negative freedom is expressed in the famous lyrics from the prisoner song now if I had the wings of an angel over these prison walls I would fly when we speak of a bird as being free to fly we assume that the bird in question has not been confined in a cage we would not normally speak for example of a caged canary as being free to fly this way of speaking suggests that a bird can exercise its ability to fly without external constraints such as by being locked in a cage the notion of negative freedom is at the very least an implicit presupposition of all such examples of course a caged bird may be free to fly around inside his cage to some extent just as a human prisoner in solitary confinement may be free to walk within the confines of his tiny cell such cases illustrate the fact that negative freedom or Liberty the terms are normally used interchangeably may exist in varying degrees but to say that a prisoner possesses the positive freedom to walk merely because he possesses the power or ability to walk as brennan's bird is said to be free to fly in virtue of its ability to fly is to use the word freedom in a peculiar way according to the positive conception of freedom as summarized by Brennan the fact of imprisonment would not even diminish a prisoner's freedom to walk so long as he remains able to walk even a prisoner bound tightly in Chains would still be free to walk in the positive sense provided he retained the ability to walk when we say that a change prisoner is not free to walk we mean that he is constrained and therefore lacks the negative freedom to walk as he chooses not that he lacks the power or ability to walk per se I may seem to be nitpicking here and so I might be if not for Brennan's attempt to incorporate positive Liberty into libertarian theory as he puts it page 27 until recently most libertarians tended to argue that the only real kind of Liberty is negative Liberty they believed the concept of positive Liberty was confused for a long time the status quo was that libertarians and classical liberals advocated a negative conception of Liberty while left liberals socialists and Marxists advocated a positive conception of Liberty Brennan asure us that the status quo has begun to change recently though many libertarians have begun to accept both negative and positive Liberty when contemporary libertarians say they want a free society they mean that they want both one a society in which people do not interfere with each other and two a society in which most people have the means and ability to achieve their goals I confess to being unclear about the identity of the many libertarians who embrace positive Liberty but judging by Brennan's subsequent mention of a book he co-authored with David Schmitz he appears to mean neoclassical liberals in his recommended readings at the end of his book Brennan lists four authors including himself under the heading neoclassical liberalism now there are probably a few more neoclassical Liberals roaming the halls of academia over how many libertarians it takes to qualify as many libertarians but when Brennan moves from many libertarians to his much broader statement about what contemporary libertarians supposedly believe about positive Liberty I must question his sense of proportion consider Brennan's next statement until recently most libertarians rejected the concept of positive Liberty until recently admittedly I am not as active in the libertarian movement as I once was but I doubt if I missed a sea-change in regard to what most libertarians including conventional classical liberals think about the notion of positive Liberty Brennan is again exaggerating the influence of his band of neoclassical liberals a handful of academic philosophers does not a movement make let's proceed to the more substantive problems in Brennan's account why was the notion of positive Liberty traditionally rejected by libertarians according to Brennan libertarians thought that if positive Liberty understood as the power to achieve one's ends counted as a form of Liberty this would automatically licensed socialism and a heavy welfare state since they opposed socialism and a heavy welfare state they rejected the concept of positive Liberty this explanation is neither accurate nor fair traditional libertarian objections to positive Liberty were far more sophisticated than Brennen would have us believe I will cover some of those objections in my next essay for now we should try to understand what the point of all this is why for instance do we find brennan page 28 asking this loaded question why do many libertarians now accept positive Liberty Brennan explains contemporary libertarians tend to embrace positive Liberty and they agree that the power to achieve ones goals really is a form of Liberty they agree with Marxists and socialists that this form of Liberty is valuable and that negative Liberty without positive Liberty is often of little value permit me to be blunt contemporary libertarians on the whole tend to embrace no such thing they do not agree with Marxists and socialists on this matter on the contrary they tend to argue that positive Liberty is not a form of Liberty at all if by form we mean to suggest that positive and negative Liberty are two species of the same genus rather as Murray Rothbard wrote in power and market page 221 freedom pertains to interference by other persons the word in a social context refers to absence of molestation by other persons it is purely an interpersonal problem I see no evidence to indicate that the mainstream of libertarian thinking has changed substantially from this description of Liberty given in 1773 by the American clergyman Simeon Howard though this word Liberty is used in various senses I mean by it here only that Liberty which is opposed to external force and constraint and to such force and constraint only as we may suffer from men under the term Liberty taken in this sense may naturally be comprehended all those advantages which are liable to be destroyed by the art or power of men everything that is opposed to temporal slavery according to this approach negative Liberty the absence of coercive interference by others is itself the fundamental means by which individuals are enabled to pursue their own values as they see fit Brennan doesn't disagree with this assertion as we see in his remark page 29 that protecting negative liberties is the most important and effective way of promoting positive Liberty thus a commitment to positive Liberty does not license socialism it forbids it Marxists say that positive Liberty is the only real Liberty this real Liberty is found in market societies and almost nowhere else Brennan obviously wishes to turn the notion of positive Liberty against socialists and other advocates of expansive governmental powers whether his efforts are successful as a problem I shall take up at a later time for now I wish only to point out that everything Brennan wants to say could easily be said without dragging in the notion of positive Liberty at all what we have here in my judgment is a type of political correctness run amok will socialists seduced by Brennan's endorsement of positive Liberty see the light and agree that free markets are the best means to attain their cherished goal of positive Liberty for everyone as the old saying goes there are two chances of this happening fat and slim by needlessly incorporating positive Liberty into libertarian theory and even worse by claiming that negative Liberty without positive Liberty often has no value Brennan has opened the barn door so wide as to admit all manner of anti libertarian proposals Brennan appeals to historical fact to support his claim that free markets are the best way to achieve positive Liberty he would have gotten no objection from me if he had simply said as Murray Rothbard put it in power and market pages 221 to 222 that it is precisely voluntary exchange and free capitalism that have led to an enormous improvement in living standards capitalist production is the only method by which poverty can be wiped out but this straightforward claim wasn't good enough for Brennan who succumbed to the desire to put old wine in a new libertarian bottle labeled positive Liberty in short Brennan's attempt to incorporate positive Liberty into libertarian theory accomplishes nothing more than to transform a strong argument for free markets into an argument that is perilously weak anyone concerned with historical fact needs to understand why the notion of positive Liberty proved so destructive to the negative Liberty defended by classical liberals and libertarians this will be the subject of my next essay thank you for listening to excursions to learn more about

VYAD1g6EdPc | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYAD1g6EdPc | Important Ways Your Angels Can Help You | I once heard while it was that woman that woman who I went to the angel class and she was actually a channel for Archangel Raphael and now I get it her big energy was like woo that's Raphael energy but she described the angelic work force it's just a huge huge work force filled with angels sitting around just waiting for somebody to give him a job we just never think about it like why don't we ask our angels to help and that was the last question that I had for us tonight was like what are some ways that you call on your angels to help you with your day your life your work etc oh my gosh always nothing is there's no task too small I call on you know they're like if you think about the specialty classes of angels and you know to what may be included in that are sometimes they said they're actually activating nature spirits but it doesn't matter you know if I need some help with technology I call them the technology angels if I need some help making a choice I call on the choice angel you know the ones to help me to be clear and to make choices like you said choosing the color of your outfit for the day I for some reason i call on Chamuel to help me to remember things to help me to recall things and I know other Archangels are associated with recall and with memory and like Zadkiel is associated with memory but I have always called on Chamuel for for it cuz to me it's like bringing a piece of me back reading something important back to me and so just there's nothing that is too small because everything that we do is just as important as the next thing and there's well like the the tree told me that one time when I connect you with the tree and I I've said you know I was putting one hand on one branch that was warm in the Sun and one hand on one branch that was cool in the shade and I said that's really that feels really nice and the tree said thanks I chose it I chose to grow here for you in this moment and you know like I'm feeling like how arrogant of me but no it's because this moment this connection is as important as anything else in all time and space and so any thing that you do any moment any now that you're in is God's now any moment that you're in is God's now and the Angels will help you with it they're watching and loving you through absolutely everything that you are doing experiencing expanding and because you are doing it from that will of one and that's what they are helping us too they're holding space for us and guiding us and guarding us and supplying us giving us resource for any and all things absolutely I've written a few things down that they're particularly good helping us with but I do want to say that one of my most joyful interactions with angels which is just pure companionship maybe you drive it along in my car and it's just me and I'm just chit-chatting I'm talking I'm laughing I tell jokes and sometimes when I get angry I do yell they will tell you that I mean but I have a full bodied relationship with them it's not just some mystical experience when I am channeling with Milam or Ian quartz and now I can contact the Angels no I am driving along in my automobile I'm talking to Michael I always talk to Michael and say hey make sure we're safe because he's for whatever reason he helps out with travel and cars and making sure we're safe and there are no accidents but I'm just it the companionship is always available to us and so for those of us who might feel like we're alone or maybe we're in families and relationships where we are misunderstood and don't feel like we can connect and so many spiritual people just feel like we're the odd one out there's something weird about me or I don't belong in this family or on this planet a lot of us feel that way but the angels are there truly is a source of friendship and companionship to walk this path with us and so I spend a lot of time in that frequency not necessarily asking for stuff I do that as well but really enjoying that but let me get on touch on a few of these things that they are just so well built for in terms of our life and the first thing would be health and wellness whether that's because you have an ailment now or an illness and you would like a miracle or you would like resource or you would like to find a doctor you can turn to your angels to help you clear that to give you a miracle or to get you to that resource or if for example you just want to know how to eat for you there's so much information out there should I eat gosh I eat paleo should I eat keto should I eat gluten free like what is the best for me so I can thrive and be healthy and do the work they came to do angels love to step in and help us co-create things like nutritional plans for ourselves and how much water we should drink and the herbs and the minerals that we should be taking also for those of us who are interested in intuitive abilities if you want to get your third eye open or you want your clairvoyance to come online or when you were a kid you used to be a medium but that seems to have gone away but now you're kind of ready to call it back into your life you can absolutely call on the angels to help you with your intuitive faculties these are just spiritual gifts there's no stigma around a spiritual gift there's nothing creepy or scary about a spiritual gift it is entirely natural and we all have them and we have them because we're meant to use them and so if we want to use them and we want to bring these abilities online or maybe you're an empath and going into the Walmart completely shorts you out and fries you out and you you find that you're in a weird energetic state calling your angels to help you to manage your energy or to give you a dispensation of energy to bring you back to Center also purpose angels mm-hmm so I didn't really figure out my purpose until late 30s early 40s and even then it was vague it wasn't until with him three or four years that I finally boiled down my mission statement for my life and I was trying for a long time but angels are great with that they are great with pointing your attention to what it is you need to understand and aligning you back to your soul's blueprint we all came into this life with a blueprint meaning a map we all had our backpack with all the tools and everything we need but we get lost and detoured and we make mistakes and we have a hard time getting back to the path well the Angels will help you to get back on your purpose path and figure out for you what you're supposed to be if you're in the lab I dare say Trisha that you're probably here to shine your light in some way and to facilitate the shift and the spiritual awakening that's happening on the planet now but how well to find that out check out your angels and there's many other areas where they can help but I had to throw in relationships because as I have said and as you know relationships can really amplify everything good about us and what we're doing in our life we can have people who are really supporting us but then there are those relationships with people who are toxic with whom we are codependent people who are abusive condescending critical who do damage to us but it's hard for us to extricate ourselves out of that situation well if you find yourself in situations like that and you need strength you need clarity you need courage calling your angels because one of the most powerful things that we can do is prune our relationship garden with Tony Robbins who says the five people you hang out with the most now these aren't the five people who are the most important to you these are the five people that are getting your minutes these are the five people you become you become like them so who are these people what kind of changes do you need to mix that you can hit the next level in your life well angels can help you with that as well don't you love [Music] | Crystal Anne Compton | UCr3cEc29ZwzDAQ9SungF8GQ | 2020-05-26 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 1,545 | 7,883 |

respectively so who was representing the applicant tonight would they please provide their name and address this is laura baker um real estate project manager for valley community development corporation valley's address is 256 pleasant street suite a northampton massachusetts great jane also representing valley community development great thank you so at our last meeting we began you made your presentation on the supportive services plan and you uh i think we completed the presentation we began the questions when we had to suspend the meeting for later so in the middle we're in the question asking session section of this consideration so i have a couple of questions that i would like i have several questions i'd like to ask i'm going to ask a few of them then i'm going to turn it over to my fellow board members to ask some questions and if depending upon the questions asked and answers i may have some more questions after that time the first question i have is this is stated as a draft supportive services plan when will when do you anticipate it being final or is there a step that i'm i may be unfamiliar with where this plan has to be submitted and approved to become final correct the plan needs to be submitted and approved by the state funding agency to become final up until that point it is a draft plan so if after the zba so you anticipate you you submit it and the state has to approve the plan they could make changes required correct correct so if after the zba vote on this matter yes and the plan has been altered yes would you object or would you have any concern to coming back and describing that change to the board in a public meeting a significant change i would have no concern coming back to the board my presumption is any significant change that occurs following if the board decides to give a permit for this project would require a return to the board the board would make the decision whether it's substantive or not right i think and also in consultation with the town staff to advise you about whether it would be um but we would make the final decision on whether it's substantive or not correct absolutely second question i have is on page two of the draft plan um at the end of the first bullet you talk about those individuals who are uh person who are at risk for being homeless yeah and you're talking you mentioned are somebody awaiting foster care placement describe a situation where somebody who's older than 18 is awaiting foster care placement as a person not in the not receiving services from dmh but from as a person at risk for being homeless so um i did listen to the session even though i was on vacation i listened in and i know that uh you had that question um and i think jane gave you the right answer which is that we're providing a standard definition of homelessness and not every single item necessarily applies to this project that that aspect of the definition does not apply to this project okay so that is not applicable to this project correct all right because you don't have you're not taking anybody under 18 correct okay on page three of your um draft plan um you have a box that talks that then lists all tenants and then each of the individual um breakdowns for tenants formerly home homeless people with individuals with mental health disabilities and low and moderate income tenants for all tenants i'm assuming the service needs are provided principally are accessed and or referred to principally by the rsc correct the residential service counselor yes perform for formerly homeless individuals you talk about individual case management with an emphasis on primary primary and behavioral health needs who provides those services in that instance is it the local um service providers is it dmh is it the residential service counselor please talk about that sure sure i'm happy to talk about that so it is not the residential um service coordinator it is um typically the referring social service agency so we do describe how um when we have a homeless preference unit come available will do outreach to a wide range of local agencies they will refer people that are a good match for the property they'll propose to deliver services during what's called the stabilization period which is typically the first six to nine to 12 months of their tenancy so they will provide those case management services during that time period if a tenant is comes to our awareness or comes to us directly who lacks an appropriate service provider will try to do the matchmaking so that they have that service provider connected to them okay so um you have identified two service providers in the plan are there other service providers who you might work with that are not identified the acc and elliott homeless services are the two that you that you've um identify sure there have been there are others so um cdh is one uh that there have been times when craig stores shelters um has had the capacity to do this service i don't know if they have it right now but they may again in the future so yeah there there could be ones beyond the two that we named um who would provide services okay but they would be under the same constraints as the other as you've listed there should be providing services on an ongoing basis for the first nine to twelve months yeah and right okay yeah and then after that stabilization period the idea is they have set up permanent ongoing connections for that tenant to the extent that they need them with community-based services okay for individuals individual individuals with mental health disabilities does the state directly provide these services or do they contract out they do not provide the service directly they contract out and they annually or semi-annual bid for those services often servicenet has been the provider um but again it's a bid situation so it can change over time okay and for low and moderate income tenants i suspect the rule tell me if i'm wrong but as i read this the role of the residential service counselor or what's the exact title against rsc right resident services coordinator coordinator the resident services coordinator would be the person that would try to coordinate or provide access help that person get access to those services is that correct that's correct we have many tenants who don't need any services and that would be true at this property as well so but it is a nice safety net for anybody who lives there has someone that they can turn to if they have any kind of challenge right so on page four you talk about i'm not very familiar with dmh's uh procedure so it says dmh assigns a case manager to develop a plan so i what i'm understanding from you is that the department of mental health comes up with a plan they provide that plan to the service provider the service provider implements that plan is that right with the and has regular um consultations with dmh is that correct that's my understanding all right and is does the state pay the vendor or does that come out of your budget yeah no so the state has um the state pays the vendor through a regional network of dmh sites so we have a site in northampton which is the western mass dmh office so they would be the conduit for payment to those service providers um we're going to be talking about um referral attendance later on i think in your in your answers to questions so i'll defer my questions about tenant referral until we come up with your answers from last last week's meeting sure and lastly um i've come in the last couple of weeks i've come across something called c-spec which is the community support for people with experiencing chronic homelessness correct you're obviously you're familiar with it is this something you use or can you is this something that's um incorporated into the services plan so cspec is a source that a service provider will use so i believe that elliott services uses c-spec for example um as a we're primarily a housing provider so we are not directly for those type of specialized service dollars but they impact our programs because the service providers you use those those dollars and a couple of times about the fact that our our project is not limited to chronically homeless persons there's a very specific definition for that whereas the c-spec program is really targeting those individuals so we may have some individuals who meet that criteria who who live in our industry but it wouldn't be everybody who has a homeless preference right so c-spec is really the service providers um utility as opposed to something that you use as as the developer providing a better term the developer we're not we wouldn't be qualified to deliver suspect uh services directly got it and c-spec is a state program i don't know the answer to that okay i can find out that's not actually that's not important it was i was just curious um and the last question for now and then we can um i'll turn this over to other people your your 24-hour hotline um who answers it and how does it how is it run i mean one of the one of the concerns that i have is i want to minimize police involvement and maximize more appropriate i think we want to maximize more appropriate less threatening responses but when it's needed the police should be called so tell me how this is handled by a by which really is the management company as opposed to one of the service organizations that are working with either the people at risk for for homelessness or the state for the people with mental and mental health disabilities or regular regular people who they may have other relationships with so i believe the slide that jane covered had three different 24 7 call numbers i think a hotline is a misnomer it's really emergency services number it's staffed by a third party answering service on behalf of our property management company so they kind of triage probably for a number of different property managers calls that come in this kind of frontline assessment and then they would put the call out to property management if someone would were to call reporting heart symptoms i would assume they would say you know you need to call 9-1-1 you don't have a property emergency um you have a health emergency um there are two other numbers that jane listed one is uh specifically for dmh clients that they do in fact have an emergency 24-hour service social worker kind of person who would who would respond and then um cso community support options which is a large mental health provider in our area also has they are kind of the repository for referrals for someone who's having a mental health crisis after hours or on the weekend they they're a 24 7 service that anyone can call if they're having a mental health issue so if a person in crisis is not one of the two dedicated units for the dmh you can have that is available for them absolutely and thing the resident services coordinator can do is you know make these kind of resources readily available for people so even if they're not on site everybody kind of knows where you look for the directory of things and tenants will help each other as well so there's that um we did do a study of uh the timing of 9-1-1 calls at several of our other uh single-room occupancy properties over a period of several years and we found the peak 911 call time was 1pm it's not to say that no one calls at night but it was not the case that there was this blossoming of calls after hours we data didn't show that at all okay so i want to give my other board members a chance to ask questions so we'll run through and then i i might have a couple um after they all get a chance mr langsdale do you have questions about the supportive services plan uh no not not at this time miss o'meara no questions um miss parks no i i think you covered what i was thinking of um mr maxfield now you pretty much hit any of the ones i was thinking about i did have one other i i think you've also talked about community engagement in the uh presentation so i'll hold off on that question until that time okay let me just run through your plan to see if i had any other notes that i did not specifically have a question listed um so the it's it occurs to me that one of the most important roles in making this housing successful both for the the tenants who receives a range of services as well as for the broader community is the role of our of the residential services coordinator i'll get that right now the coordinator not counselor um and in that and i think your job description does a good job of doing that um is this can we can we be um assured that there will always be somebody from 25 to 30 hours available which i think is a is ample time which is a good amount of time uh dedicated to this particular property number one um can we be sure that that will be the case um forever unless you come back and change it with us number one number two um tell me about how this is a part-time job for a college grad with with experience and what's the and i anticipate that in today's market there'd be a lot of people going for that historically this would be this may be a hard position to fill if you if you're searching for somebody with a skill set there's lots of especially in this in in western massachusetts there'd be a lot of opportunities for them to get full-time work with this so talk to me about your ability to get that person and then how you work with them to make sure that they uh work with the clients in the best way to make and the community and the best way to make this successful sure um yes part of our proposal is to commit to have this position on site for this number of hours uh were we to make a significant deviation from that and that was a condition of our permit we would need to return to the zoning board to have that conversation forever is a long time and so you know if we find this person is idle then we would come back and talk about that i don't think that's going to be the case i think it's going to be a really important position to have um and we're relying primarily upon the operating revenue of the property to pay for that position so that is about the best you can do in terms of securing that ongoing funding for the position um i think that we the part of the reason we're trying to stretch to 30 hours is usually that's when positions get benefited and so i mean that would be our goal because i think we will attract a higher caliber of candidate with a benefited position um chances are good we will subcontract with a service social service agency and so they may well have someone who is doing this and something else so they may well have a we may hire them and say we need you to deliver these services 25 to 30 hours a week and they may have a full-time person who's also doing some other work for them i mean i suspect that's the way it's actually going to play out we don't think we're the best candidate to supervise and train and manage this person because if a service position and we like the segregation between the role of the landlord and the property management and the service provider i understand so another possibility is grad students people going for maybe would that also be a possibility for filling this somebody pursuing a higher degree or is that not a likely candidate i would hope for someone with a little more uh maturity and feeling of authority to them um i wouldn't a grad student okay i wouldn't seek out a young person um just because many of our tenants will be older than that person i think that creates a little bit but with a phenomenal person it could work so it you know it depends on the person but i'm picturing someone a little more seasoned than a graduate student i think that helps that helps me understand the the role that you envisioned for the the rfcs and could i rsc chairman could i just add one more comment to what laura said yes i think that your point about the um laura's point about the um property management role in conjunction with the resident service coordinator role is very important and currently with hmr we have a regularly scheduled meeting with service coordinators and property management staff so that we're discussing how the coordination of programs are going and any issues that are coming up so that we have you know really good fluid conversations about best practices and particular things that are happening at the site so that keeps the owner informed of both voices so that allows us to gauge what's happening at the site so that's currently a practice and it would continue to be a practice with this site okay miss o'mara did you have your hand up go ahead you do thank you um i'm just wondering the hiring of the rsc person who's the backup for that person when they're not able to be on site come down with an illness covert 19 whatever whatever yeah that's the backup plan yeah so again if if we are hiring a third party agency presumably they will have many social workers and therapists and other clinicians and they would need to provide a backup to that person if that person was out for an extended period of time so that would be within your contract sure yeah i guess we could target our contract if they weren't fulfilling it and hire somebody else but yeah that's the nice thing about hiring not you know joe miller but hiring you know cso or cdh an entity is that it's you're not just linked necessarily to one individual that they're supposed to provide the service whether staff come or go okay thank you sure good question thank you i have no um further questions on the social services plan did those their comments raise any questions to any other member i guess maureen i'd like to consider that we should put on the items to consider for um conditions number one that come back if they make a change in the hours or the significant change in the hours of the um residential services coordinator and two that they're with the contract provide for um backup if the contract with the company the agency that's provided has backup in case the residential services coordinator is not there something of that effect we can consider those but i'd like to keep that as a back of our mind all right um i just for the benefit of the board at the um at last meeting i said that i was seriously contemplating the need for peer review of the social services plan i mean that last month i've done a lot of work talking to a lot of people both here in massachusetts and other places and this seems like this is a a plan that is that meets in my mind meets the um sort of best practices of the of the industry uh the people that provide this kind of housing and management of that housing and services and so i i am um i've become more aware and i'm not as concerned about the plan being insufficient at least not to the point where i think it needs um additional peer needs peer review and we need to impose the additional costs on the on the application of that now if other people feel differently than that i i think we should we should consider that we do have the ability to get peer reviews and that the cost of that is borne by the applicant but um i thought i was the one that raised that issue and i've been satisfied and i'm open to anybody if they have a desire for a peer review on this we can discuss it if not we'll move on to the response to our questions from last week okay not hearing any questions or comments in that regard let's move on to your um responses to the questions we posed at last week and after we do that we can go into the um the other items on the agenda and one thing i'd like to do so we keep this moving as a throughout the meeting is let's deal with each question individually and and provide the answer to the question if there if there are any discussion about it let's have it at that point and then move on and for this one as opposed to having all the questions uh done at once and then our questions and our comments about the whole packet let's try to answer each one of these individually so the first one you have i think is if i remember correctly um oh i now i can't pull it up on my screen but um i'd like to run through this serially and so that we can do it the most efficient way without um trying to cobble everything together at the end okay i would add that we provided this uh powerpoint presentation in advance to the board not way in advance but a little bit in advance so that hopefully you could read through it so that i could move through it quickly and we wouldn't have to spend a lot of time on it and i would say both to the board and to the public that these things also get posted online some of my slides have a lot of words on them if you miss all the words it's always possible to go back later and review them again so i'm going to go to share screen now if i'm authorized to do that maureen yes you should be awesome um have you tried it just doing it now all right look away i'm gonna go way down don't get seasick i think we've done that all right so we did this these are our responses to questions asked prior the first was about the really clarification about the snow removal area so i apologize last time it seemed there was some confusing information that was shared so i think we've got a plan the um kind of orangish parts you see are areas that we would need to clear of snow and ice the blue areas are places where we would stockpile snow and push snow in the event of a snowstorm part of our discussion about de-icing methods came from the fact that we are showing snow and being pushed against vegetation and i think we've covered pretty thoroughly the different um de-icing products that we would use so that we would cause minimal harm to these that vegetation here we are proposing a new change in the site plan which is to shift the bike rack so instead of going this way it's going this way and that will allow more snow to be piled here this area is for a large snow if we ran out of all these other places to push snow and we consistently observed that there were empty parking spaces at this site then we might stockpile snow in some parking areas if the parking areas are fairly consistently used that would not be the case this is to explain the snow removal plan as it relates to the parking so using any parking areas for snow storage is secondary to the other snow storage areas that we just looked at on the plan on-site parking areas will only be used for snow storage if there's a consistent pattern of under usage of spaces for example if there are consistently six open spaces then a portion of these can serve as backup snow storage if most parking spaces are full most of the time then no parking areas will be used for snow storage if the designated areas are inadequate likely during a very heavy snowfall excess snow will be removed from the site pick it up and put it in a dump truck and take it off site uh we were asked so that was snow are there any questions on snow we've discussed this a lot i is there any i'd like to put i'd like to put the snow to rest if we're done talking about this unless there's any questions uh yes i have a question about that mr chair yes so um so you say under utilization what what counts is under utilization there because if you say you know maybe four days out of a month you have uh only five available parking spaces um and that sixth one you know being used you wouldn't be able to put snow in that area you know that would mean that somebody is consistently parking there once a week i i guess i just want to know is what's really going to be your determination there because i'm a little i'm a little weary of putting that into the putting that final determination of what counts as underutilization into uh as a sole determination of the cdc because they have the like anybody you have the financial incentive to put where it is easiest and then of course you know on the other hand i i also don't want to do the uh be unnecessarily burdensome and say you have to remove snow off site when right but i i guess the idea is is there something we could do perhaps where we would say for something like a year the first year that this is in place where all snow would have to be removed off-site and then we might say any additional snow would have to be removed off-site and couldn't be put in that space but then perhaps after a year come back to the board and simply say this was the results of what we'd observed in that first year and then the zba could make a decision on whether or not it wants to approve snow being put into um [Music] here's what i would say is that yes there's a financial disincentive to take snow off-site but there's an even more immediate disincentive to not take parking that people need because they will complain and they will complain to us so we are not at all motivated to take away parking from tenants and staff and visitors who need it because we will hear about it we have no that we don't want to do that so we will be looking for if we're seeing that about half the spaces are open most of the time i'm going to feel really comfortable taking the two spaces furthest from the property for example and piling some snow there if we see a scattering of parking patterns where you know at a given time most of the spaces are occupied or even occasionally most of the spaces are occupied we're just going to take it off the table that we're not going to put snow there and it's a little bit of a i feel like we do need some discretion to actually witness the actual conditions that are occurring on the site but i would suggest to you that the disincentive is greater than the incentive i would rather pay a bill for for trucking stolen site than have tenants calling because they can't park you know i suppose um i suppose it's fair i just know as a tenant myself uh typically it's it's never it's never a pleasant experience for me to have to call my landlord to ask them to do something that they should be doing in the first place is my only concern and i i wouldn't want to put that burden on the tenants but again uh this is this isn't that much of a sticking point for me if um if the board uh feels one way or the other about it you know i'd like to hear what what the other members thoughts are on this is anybody else as concerned as i am about this um and what is what does anybody else think well i think i mr maxfield what i think is that um you've raised the concerns this should be listed as one of the areas one of the conditions that we'll consider later on and um we can have a discussion about people's i don't think we're getting any more new information so later on when we do go through the conditions and there'll be many of them we have to go through uh we can discuss this one and make it and discuss it and decide whether we want this to be a condition that as you just described which is a one year trial period and then come back and and come to the board and we can make a decision so i'd prefer not to unless somebody has new questions not to spend more time on this but know that we can discuss it when we go and talk about conditions on the application is that fair yes thank you mr chair so another way another way to condition it might be for example you know we run a log we see that we can consistently have three spaces open you know we can use one for snow storage make some kind of ratio that would be another proposal because each year the snowfall is really different so those are all good things we can discuss when we get to conditions for the the project the application um i think we've i think we've run through the snow removal unless anybody else has new questions let's move on to the next question parking so related to this is parking so that the chairman asked to see comparables and so this chart actually was included in our zoning application it's in the parking study section um and it takes you through a number of similar affordable properties some of them valley-owned some of them are owned by other entities wayfinders home city housing development so we looked at the number of people adults people who might drive cars who live in them the parking that's provided at these locations and then the average daily parking that's used based on the observation of the management companies and then we made a ratio so a lot of properties simply have no parking so the fact that no one's parking there isn't that meaningful because it doesn't have any parking so of all the properties it was a 0.22 per unit utilization the average utilization for properties where there is parking provided was .49 and as people may recall we're proposing a 0.57 ratio of uh parking spaces to units um i also just happen to be at our one of our good comparables the sergeant house this is 10 a.m this morning we have 28 tenants who've already moved into this property they're very similar small studio apartment units um i was there there were 14 spaces are provided maximum for this site this morning uh seven spaces were in use which is 0.25 spaces per unit and this is just a snapshot this is just a point in time um but we do see a consistent pattern with this type of housing that we're looking at between 0.25 and 0.5 cars per unit can you go back to the chart sure it seems to me that the the applicable comparisons are the affordable single person studio apartments and it doesn't you know it doesn't seem it's all over the place you've got zero you've got zero again you've got uh not applicable because not yet occupied you've got 57.57 and then um you've got zero again so it's really hard to see that there's a pattern out there but you are you come in in the middle of that are as good as as you're at um you're at 16 units for 28 people 16 parking spots for 28 people is that residence is that correct that's correct yeah so i think it's hard to draw um hard to draw a um a standard from the single person studio apartment that you you've shown here so i guess it's it's my thinking is it's pretty much up to you to decide what is reasonable as long as it has doesn't create problems for the neighbors and it doesn't seem that anybody has more any single unit single person studio apartments has more than you have provided has a higher percentage of parking spaces to attendance than you have well this this example down here which is in springfield has a lot of parking per unit but they gave me their account count of how many cars they see and this is this is the kind of scenario that we would hope to avoid where you know we're putting down a lot of pavement that that isn't being used yeah but utilization at that place is 34 utilization at the other single studio apartment is 50 earl street is about 0.57 yep um there's some variants earl street is located uh it's a little over a mile to walk uh to the center of northampton it's a little further it's more of an uh there are lots of factors in the parking study that we delivered we gave these comparables and we cited data from a number of different studies parking studies that you could look at okay are you you provided me the answer that i requested are there any questions go ahead i would also add that when we went to the planning board the chair made the comment that she thought that the parking provided was um appropriate for the use at that point in time we only had 14 parking spaces and i would notice that the town engineer when he reviewed the site plans said he did not have any issue with the traffic or parking studies that were provided any other any board member have questions regarding parking i have one yes mr langsdale um i'm sorry i i am a bit confused the 16 spaces that you have are all it includes uh one uh space for uh handicapped parking two two sorry uh so then you have fourteen spaces left uh are those to be used by um a staff yes and how many of those are on at one time so i anticipate that there would be potentially one or two staff um but as we reviewed last time there is a natural evan flow um those tenants who are driving to work will tend to be gone during the day the staff that are there will tend to be there during the day so it won't be everybody there at the same moment in time so when i looked this morning at sergeant house for example i think two of these one or two of these cars were actually property management staff i think if i went back at night those cars would be gone and there would probably be a few more tenant cars here it's just a guess but there is a coming and going and sharing of the use of spaces okay thank you sure further questions on parking you know related if not in a related manner there's the loading area there's a question about that so this is a broad look i'm going to take you to a little bit of a close-up view so we have two options for some we're assuming a paratransit kind of van is coming to pick up someone who's uh who needs that service what we imagine is that if this space is empty which it could be um we might not have enough tenants who have stickers for this or they might be out that the van would pull in here the person would exit this is never going to be parked on this is a loading area someone would load into the van this way if these two spaces are filled the van would pull up directly in front of the loading area person would exit and load this way and then the van would make the same turn around maneuver that the dumpster truck will make and go out this way question i'm gonna i'll keep rolling unless people want to just just shout them out a typical kitchen elevation with the adjacent closet we're providing that here so in this plan we have a kitchen app and it will have a full size full full capacity kind of refrigerator a sink area a 24 inch range we'll have a microwave and a hood up here and then some cabinetry we have a closet adjacent to it that's three feet six inches wide this is a suggestion i think it's a good one of how to divide that closet space with um kind of taller hanging things here shorter hanging things here and then several shelves up above in some units we have more closet space than others so this example is where we have the least amount of closet space based on the unit layout we have several kinds of units that just happen to be configured differently because of the shape of the building so you can see this unit for example has two closets this unit has a longer closet and this unit over here has a triple closet we're also noticing that we have a good opportunity it's not drawn in here to have a linen closet um that is between the shower unit and the vanity in the bathrooms so that is something that we're going to try to incorporate into the plans as well that would provide some additional storage area um just let's make sure people get a chance to answer because i know mr leinfeld had a question about this any questions okay smoking um we had uh a number of questions over a long period of time about the smoking bench at this point we're proposing to remove it from the site and that both the building and the site would be smoke-free if you are in agreement and concept what we would do is revise the site plan we'd still have a sidewalk that wraps around so that you can get to the patio from the front but it would not have that bench and pavilion for smoking and we might shift the garden area a little bit when we make the shape of the sidewalk a little different but it won't significantly change the site plan all right no questions move on mr chair yes i just i just like to point out that uh you know i think i i might be a little in disagreement with the rest of uh or some of the other cba members here i definitely want to see um at that parking or that uh that smoking bench uh in the in the proposal i appreciate an alternative as i i think when it comes to conditions we might differ on that it may come to a vote but i personally would would like to be known that i i do want to see a smoking area in the proposal and i think the original proposal was a uh was a good place for that to be i i think you have you raise a good question and the question that i would have is what percentage of how likely is it that people will not um who are smokers potential tenants who are smokers will not take advantage of the pla the units because of that and number two if they are smokers they will find their way to smoking someplace on the street or someplace obviously else had a thought about this yeah people who smoke will find a place to smoke uh people will not necess we do not find smokers declining affordable units because they're smoke free pretty much they're all becoming smoke-free and the need for affordable housing is desperate so people don't turn it down for that reason people will tend to gravitate toward the closest place where smoking is permitted um we see that consistently so in amherst smoking is permitted on sidewalks on streets in downtown it's permitted outdoors in all public areas as far as i know so that's that's probably the logical alternative it's going to be smoking on the sidewalk out in front if the property is well that's was our argument that was our argument for providing a designated area on site because we wanted to take the burden onto the property itself for people smoking but we've heard consistent um feedback from neighbors that they want it to be a non-smoking property nobody wants this particular item to be adjacent to them so it's fine we can we can make it a smoke-free property we have other ones that are smoke-free so it won't be the first one all right again that's something we can discuss in conditions um mr langsdale i heard your comment about you know five or six people smoking that we don't observe that um people are a little ashamed that they smoke honestly in today's culture so it tends to be one maybe two people smoking at the same time we do not witness groups of people getting together and smoking property and asset management plans uh it just was a clarification that the plans have not changed so the full plans are within the application itself and then we were asked to provide summaries which we did but we didn't change the content of those plans um written narrative about the tenant referral and selection process this gets a little wordier i'm afraid um this is an important thing so i think it's good for us to understand it okay um as in any you know publicly supported development we have to have selection and screening criteria that are consistent that we apply consistently to applicants and that we administer fairly an important part of our state funding packet will be called an affirmative fair housing marketing plan they also ask for a tenant selection plan these documents can run up to 60 to 80 pages each so they're very detailed looks at making sure that we're not creating any fair housing barriers to tenants and that we have a viable way to select tenants so i give the zba assurance that the state looks at these very very carefully before they fund a project and they would not approve a plan that did not comply with fair housing laws so the marketing time period when it begins and when it ends the methods of outreach the lottery process and the tenant selection procedures all have to be vetted by the state agency so we are required to not discourage or prevent members of any protected class from being evaluated equally as prospective tenants and those protected class classes are listed here uh race color religion national origin sex disability and familial status we use affirmative proactive marketing procedures and materials to ensure access to housing by vulnerable underserved and at-risk populations this may mean where things are advertised what languages they're translated into the fact that someone with a disability has assistance in filling out an application things of that nature the screening criteria again must be applied equally so applicants must demonstrate that they meet the criteria through the following methods we do credit checks we do quarry checks we do landlord references if someone has been homeless for a period of time and they don't have landlord references we can accept service provider references in lieu of those landlord references we interview all the tenants who are going to be living there we do a determination of income eligibility that relies on third party documentation and for handicapped accessible units someone must demonstrate that they need that type of adaptive unit in order to get that unit there are some kind of hard and fast reasons for denial having to do with past criminal record sex offenders anyone listed on the state registry for sex offenders is not um included in our tenants uh someone with a history of production or distribution of methamphetamine it's a federal requirement that we cannot take anyone with such a history and criminal records of offenses that involve physical danger violence to persons or property or that adversely affect the health safety and welfare of other people so someone who has a record of arson for example would not be allowed to live in this property um so we don't accept tenants we believe would pose a threat to any other tenants uh or to neighbors and we also would assert that this level of screening and due diligence in particular running quarry checks is more comprehensive than is undertaken by most private landlords so how are tenants referred to the property when they're in a special kind of category so referrals from the department of mental health uh are for persons who are clients who are receiving consistently receiving services from from department of mental health we're proposing two units that have this priority referrals will be made from the western mass department of mental health these referred once a tenant is referred from dmh they go through the same screening process i described above so if they don't meet muster in the screening process valley or our property management company will reject that referred tenant and dmh will propose a different client clients who are referred by dmh receive ongoing services provided directly by dmh such as case management and clinical services but a lot of questions about how who are homeless people and how are they prioritized and how do they enter the property most often referrals are made by service providers who are vouching for the prospective tenant assess that the tenant is an appropriate candidate for independent living with supports so there are a variety of models of housing people jane went over some of them last at the last hearing so group homes there's a safe haven model for homeless persons who need 24-hour support those wouldn't be viable candidates for this particular property if a homeless applicant is not affiliated already with a service provider we'll seek to make a match since we have pretty close working relationships with providers if someone has a history of substance abuse they need to demonstrate six months of sobriety before moving in the service provider who's referring the tenant commits in writing to provide ongoing support services for the referred tenant for a period of time and typically it's really that first year that's so critical to help the person kind of transition and stabilize in the new housing and make community-based connections the whole goal is for that provider then to step back and that the person will have made community-based supports and have them set up if in the future a tenant faces challenges it is very common that the original service provider will kind of re-enter the picture and work more intensively with the tenant again so someone might be doing fine and then they have a trauma you know a family member dies so a friend overdoses something happens and they need more help homeless tenants must also meet the screening criteria described above so all the quarry and those other reference items that i described the definition of homelessness relates to a person's housing status it's their lack of housing and there are a lot of reasons some of which are listed here when where someone may not have housing or be threatened with not having housing it is not a definition about a person's criminal act history of criminal activity or substance abuse or mental illness and again this is a distinction between a general homeless population and a chronically homeless population where it's both it's the long-term housing instability coupled with a serious disability that creates that definition of chronically homeless i'm going to move to transportation so i guess i'll well don't do that yet i appreciate you want to move through this but i think there's some there might be some questions on tenant referrals um first off what's corey for me i have one one question what's corey so cory is a criminal records check so the tenant signs their um consent um and you it goes into a database and the database tells you whether someone has a criminal um background it's a criminal background check basically all right and then it's acc and um elliott that provide you most of your that you anticipate providing you most of your referrals um i think they will provide something chronically homeless yep craig stores may provide referral service that may report provide referrals cso may provide referrals cdh i mean there's a number of players um but we work a lot with elliott and because this is in amherst i anticipate we'll work also with amherst community connections and when they provide you those referrals have they done the similar check and so there's an fact a second check for not necessarily not necessarily okay so it's it's the real the most important check is done by by your operation and is that done by the management company yes so that what's the name of the management company again it's hmr standing for housing management resources so the manager the the management company will do that yes all right and that's the landlord they're also the landlord correct well they they're acting on behalf of the property owner so valley's in essence the managing property owner we hire on an annual contract hmr to do property management okay do people have questions about the tenant referrals ms parks i'm just wondering about local preference when you're talking about service providers i was thinking that you would mainly be using ammo service providers but that may not be true um and so um and i was hearing what you were saying about um needing to show that you're not discriminating against anyone uh but um so i i just don't know where are we standing with local preference are we you know we're gonna be yeah that's miss parks we have that on the agenda for uh the fourth item tonight to talk about purple preference yep i guess i thought that was here okay yep we will get to it we hope to get to it tonight other questions oh yes i have one mr chair yes mr maxfield uh yeah so the uh referrals are made by service providers so uh is it you folks have a roster of service providers that you consult with or is this this posted somewhere and anybody who's uh qualified as a service provider can can see that there's a housing availability and and speak to you guys directly how do you guys get in touch with these service providers yeah that's a great question um i i have my to my knowledge we have a pretty lengthy kind of list serve of local providers and we do a blast out to all of those people there might be 30 or 40. so it i don't know that there's any public posting if it's a wheelchair accessible unit we're required to post it on a certain state website with these units i think we just tried a pretty broad outreach to service providers but we do have tenants who are on our wait lists also who are coming in self-identifying that that they're homeless and so we would look at that pool of people as well um so if you were to have a homeless person say uh come to you folks directly you would potentially refer them to a service provider and then and that would be the the process yeah but we would try to do a little bit of matchmaking so that when they were coming into housing from a homeless situation they had the support got it thank you um any other questions all right go ahead sure just just as an aside um on valley's website you all could pull down an application uh pre-application for our housing and it does ask if you're homeless and so we maintain waitlists of folks who are looking for housing both whether they're looking for subsidized housing market rate housing if they're homeless so so we have already on hand a pretty extensive wait list of people just to let you know um so the resident service coordinator how how would this person assist tenants with transportation options we were wanting more detail about that so within the uh supported services plan these things are enumerated uh activities posting uh schedules in the common room organizing shared rides helping tenants procure bus and bike share passes as applicable helping tenants access public transportation options such as the pv oops pvpa pvta van service and the americo van coa van service and providing rides as schedule permits or in emergency we will require the the resident services coordinator to have a car and insurance will carry an umbrella insurance policy it is extremely helpful for that person to be able to give rides in a pinch or in an organized fashion we do not expect that person to be riding people around all week all week long um and one thing we're adding here because someone brought it up at another meeting we think it's a great idea is perching several of these grocery poll carts that we would just have at the property people sign them in sign them out when they bring them back helps a little bit with that issue of you know getting groceries from the grocery store to the property um what are the transportation options so again this is an excerpt taken right from the draft supported services plan i've i've abbreviated it a bit so there's a little more detail in the plan so we believe this is a highly walkable location that there are stores and services in downtown amherst within a half to eight tenths of a mile and major shopping centers on university drive within six to eight tenths of a mile uh mass d.o.t plans and their plans are 100 design status currently to improve the sidewalks and crossings on northampton road beginning in 2021 i think they'll have a two-season cycle so they'll start in 2021 and finish in 2022. uh this includes widening the sidewalks on both sides of northampton road all the way from university up to town center on the north and south sides all of their sidewalks will meet ada standards and they'll install two new crosswalks equipped with flashing lights at the intersections of orchard and hazel streets uh these wider improved sidewalks will improve pedestrian safety and facilitate clearing snow in the winter because it is hard to walk on sidewalks if there's snow and ice on them we believe it's a bike friendly location and there's a well used and well maintained bike trail that's very close to this property it's 11 mile long trail connects amherst to belchertown hadley northampton east hampton there are two valley bike share stations within walking distance of 132 northampton road one's in town center and one's on university drive you can pay one one for one time use or monthly or annually these are electric assist bikes there's a bike shop hampshire bicycle exchange located on university drive where you can buy rent get fixed anything like that with a bike public bus service there are about half a dozen pvta bus stops located uh in around circling around 132 northampton road ranging from four tenths to six tenths of a mile you can walk downhill to get to a bus stop you can walk flat across to get to a bus stop or you can walk uphill to get to a bus stop uh during normal college openings buses run daily except on major holidays you can pay by the ride or get a monthly bus pass and you can get discounted bus passes at big y so transportation for special populations those folks who might not have the ability to walk or bike places so the town of amherst offers van service for seniors and persons of any age with a disability that prevent them from using the typical bus service and this is just some information about the cost depending on the distance and the fact that these vans will travel to any location within hampshire and hampden counties you do need to provide notice and schedule this ahead of time similarly the pvta has its paratransit vans which are door-to-door transportation for people who are 60 or older again you have to call and schedule it ahead and there are van tickets purchased through the senior center pvta also has ada paratransit vans so there for persons with a disability of any age that prevent them from using a fixed bus route they can be booked during the week and holidays and if you require pca to travel with you that person rides for free uh the resident services coordinator will be responsible for coordinating other transportation options for tenants this may include tenants who did not have car sharing rides our giving rides to those who do or coordinating community volunteers to provide rides uh since patrons can only use the access the amer survival center food pantry once a month the rsc may coordinate for example a monthly ride to the pantry for several tenants so that's kind of what i mean about the efficiency of driving people so if you can take four people to the food pantry once a month everybody loads up and comes back that's a great use of that rsc time as opposed to individual trips uh the rsc will help tenants access access socialized fares as may be applicable for bus and valley bike share passes as i mentioned they're required to a vehicle and a license and valley will carry umbrella insurance for this purpose for their to help cover their liability when they're driving folks around um well i'll go i'll keep going we'll see if there's questions to see if there's any questions on the transportation before we get to the hill ups and downs okay i don't see any hands up so um let's go to the hill okay the hell so when i was scouting properties for this development i looked at many locations and almost all of them involved an uphill climb to get to the center of town so down main street down college street down northampton road and somebody built amherst on top of the hill and so it's just there and we all need to kind of grapple with it um although mr langsdale and others have mentioned that it can be a barrier or a difficulty or a challenge navigating this hill especially if you have a mobility issue i just would like in no way to disagree with that but simply to say at the same time there are significant health benefits associated with walking and especially walking on an incline and we're not talking about people having to walk miles and miles this is this is a 10 to 12 minute walk if you do it every day it's going to be a benefit both for your physical and your mental health so just pulled some some data from an article i found why walking is the most underrated exercise is the title of it it improves fitness cardiac etc when comparing the results of the most recent national runners health study found that vigorous walking moderate intensity walking such as you do on an incline and vigorous intensity running resulted in similar reductions in risk for high blood pressure high cholesterol diabetes and heart disease walking also has been shown to improve memory and prevent the deterioration of brain tissue as we age studies indicate that exercise relieves anxiety and depression and suggests that a 10-minute walk maybe just as good as 45-minute workout when it comes to relieving the symptoms of anxiety and boosting mood so we have a population that is has been through challenging times and maybe may be prone to experiencing anxiety and depression so being in the outdoors and walking is a really really positive thing so the value of incline walking the higher you set the incline the more energy your body is forced to use it can be a better option for those with injuries or pain so adding an incline is a great way to increase the challenge for your heart and get the same kind of benefits that you can get from jogging or running without the same amount of wear and tear on your knees so again not to take away from the fact that if it's leading out and you need two gallons of milk the hill is not your friend but 90 of the time the fact that there's a necessity to do some exercise walking on an incline we consider that a potential benefit from this location so it's it's a mixed i just think it's a mixed bag um also yeah i have something to say yep mr langsdale um i understand your desire to put the best face on this up and down hill um and the article speaks to the benefits of walking which i think is quite obvious to all of us um but what we're dealing with here is the situation of where you're going to be located and you're talking about people some with disabilities some with substance abuse problems uh walking uphill with groceries in hand or with the cart but pushing a cart up the hill is not easy uh if it's if you've got groceries in it and it also doesn't take into account that there is uh a fair amount of rain in in this part of the world in the winter there can be a great deal of snow and ice i think we've all been aware over the last couple of months or approximately that not only does it get hot here it gets very humid so to say that you're not trying to take away from the problem possible problems by giving us this account of the health benefits of walking i think is a little bit disingenuous because it you're not at all addressing the possible problems with those walks rather you're just giving us a general uh health benefit uh so you know i don't know what's to be done about this but i i i just think it's important to for everyone to understand that we're not talking about a walk in the woods here and we're not talking about a walk in the woods through a lot of different conditions during the year in this area thank you so another thing that we wanted to just note for the committee is um that the black sheep just got an award to transition to a grocery style marketplace and so the black sheep is located out at 50 about half a mile from the site and so if someone were to do their shopping there uh they would not need to be needing to pull groceries uphill they would be traveling downhill from that location i do feel like the prior pages extensive information about the various transportation options speaks to the point of folks who might have challenges with walking because i think there are a lot of different options to get around in amherst thankfully uh let's see integration with the neighborhood have there been problems between tenants and the neighbors or the community if so how did how was it dealt with and do we have any examples to provide um and so part of our supportive services plan includes a tenant engagement section that we'll review in brief we just also note that we have tenants serving on valley's community engagement committee which is a board committee and they plan events annually that bring together our tenants residents in the larger community we do ice cream socials we've done block parties um what we're thinking of for this site at 132 was to do a welcome event and then we have a number of ways that we thought people could ongoing ways that residents could connect with neighbors social events the jobs board shared gardening tutorials mentoring transportation similar to the coa ride programs or neighbor to neighbor ride shares tenants needing transportation could be assisted by neighbors so again another approach at accommodating people who might need uh special transportation um we provided four letters from direct neighbors to our single person occupancy properties in northampton you can find these letters within the the project eligibility letter section on the website and these are the names of the authors of those letters i didn't want to reproduce the whole letters because they're lengthy so i just took some quotes so the first one reads at this time we've not had any issues or complaints from our customers the person who runs the cafe that's located in the same building as a single room occupancy property regarding the residents and their actions any minor items that have come up regarding the tenants in our business space have been promptly taken care of through communication with the office staff at valley at this time we are very happy sharing this building space with the residents another person who's saying in eight years not one of my professional tenants or any of their clients have ever received anything less than pleasantness from our studio apartment dwelling neighbors uh and the third one describes an issue the one issue that has come up with the building is that a few i'm sorry months ago a very loud engine-like sound started coming out of the building as soon as i reached out to valley cdc i was put in touch with the building manager and slowly we were able to identify the sound which is an issue with the new heating system and they were able to get the contractors out to fix the situation i felt that having an organization as a neighbor actually made that situation a bit easier because they are very motivated to make their neighbors satisfied that is not always the case with an individual homeowner i have have only had pleasant interactions with any of the residents of the building but i must say i hardly see them the curse of our busy lives so again full letters are available through the town's website um so last year we looked at i mentioned this before we did an analysis of 911 call data for valley's four single room occupancy properties which housed 53 individuals over a three year period during this three years for these four properties there were two calls initiated by a neighbor they were both noise complaints there are zero calls initiated by neighbors that relate to harm or harm to people or property after owning single room occupancy properties for 30 years valley has received only a handful of calls from neighbors the issues being reported and here are a few examples tenants putting trash in the wrong place in a shared dumpster area care of shared landscaping or noise have been promptly addressed by property management valley posts its 24 7 emergency call number for property management at all its properties this number will be available also to neighbors in the event that they need to contact property management directly valley staff myself jane are readily available by email or phone our contact information is posted on valley's website and we are committed to safe and well-kept conditions at our properties with the mutual benefit of residents and neighbors uh this is the last piece okay go ahead i don't i don't think there's any questions on the that was my question and you've answered just for clarification we have we have a recurring question about height because it's a little confusing as well as the number of floors these are excerpts directly from amherst um zoning bylaw their definitions so in all districts the minimum or maximum height of building should be measured as the vertical distance from the average finished grade on the street side of the structure to the average height midpoint between the highest eaves and ridge of the main body of the roof so and then they show you a little illustration here this is how we're measuring the height of a building that has a gable roof and the next slide i'm going to show you our building minimum maximum floors a basement half story shall be any lawful habited space with required means of access and egress in which a minimum seven foot floor to ceiling height exists in at least half of the habitable space but no less than one third of the habitable floor area the full story above and where more than half of the habitable space is located above the average finished grade of the exterior of the building which meets the definition of our ground floor space so as opposed to being a basement which is zero floors because it's fully below grade our basement is defined as a half story because it has enough area that's above grade so when we describe it as a two and a half story building it's not an attempt to disguise it as something it's really just an attempt to accurately apply the definitions that are in the amherst zoning bylaw so here is the same um look at our particular building so showing you the the eave height 31 feet 2 inches the roof ridge height of 44 almost 45 feet and the mean height of 38 feet 4 inches bringing it in below the maximum height for the zone of 40 feet and this assumes basically the worst case scenario so in reality the grade on the front of the building is kind of sloping but we we took the most conservative look at height and took it from its lowest point we were asked to compare it to the existing house and tom our architect tried as best he could to give you a fair comparison of the existing house and how it looks compared with the the height and the massing of the new building and that brings us to the conclusion of our responses ms huggins namaste thank you um mr chairman um i just had a thought on that on building height in the applicant's presentation whenever is the appropriate time um for me to right now is good sure so um i think this is an important issue and i might suggest that if the board has any questions about the building height under the zoning bylaw that it asked the building commissioner for comment on that in that way the board will know what it's looking at under the bylaw and any relief needed can be requested by the applicant for the board's consideration thank you mr chairman thank you okay any other comments chairman yes mr langsdale the existing house is that a three-story house the existing house is let's see i think the assessor's records call it a one and a half story house but that may not be consistent with actually the zoning bylaw definition i'm not sure it has it has finished space in the basement level it's a walkout basement with a bathroom and a bedroom downstairs has a full first floor and that has three bedrooms upstairs on the second floor but they're essentially in the in the attic space so tom do you do you have an opinion on that i mean i think that would probably be called a two and a half story house because all the floor those bedrooms are habitable space they have in height um so what constitutes a three-bedroom a three-story house i mean this has three stories each one of them with if the site if the site was completely level this would be a three-story house it's the fact that it slopes and part of that part of both buildings are buried in the in the hillside mr langsdale would it help if we asked the building commissioner to take a look at this and to describe to us the dip what practical differences it makes to be called three story or two and a half story and then we we could you know um make a decision on that you think that might be the best way to proceed because i'm not sure that i i don't know that i know what the difference is and what the significance is and perhaps uh an expert like the building commissioner could help us with this my question comes from even if this is a two and a half story house it's 27 feet high what they're proposing is 44 almost 45 feet high and it's a two and a half story building so i guess part of my question is why is it so much highest like 18 higher yeah there is a full other living floor on our building so in our attic this is the attic right there's no living area there whereas in this house the attic has living area this house has one basically full story above grade we have two full stories above grade so you have a whole other floor um added to this building so it is a taller building this the existing house has that floor tucked under the roof line as opposed to the roof sitting up above that top so white is it not then possible to have your building have that top floor tucked under the roof like the exhaust because we couldn't we wouldn't have the area when you do that you lose at least a third or half of the area to to the what's what's in that you've got the from the eve height which is 31 you go up basically 14 feet to the roof ridge height what's in that 14 feet well that's if you look if you can see the elevations that's just the pitch of the roof if you start out at the eave and you have a certain width building a certain slope to the roof by the time you cross all that area you end up at that height so there are roof trusses in that space there's probably about two feet of insulation in that space and there are so probably some mechanicals electrical and whatnot yeah lowest level yeah they're no mechanics there's nothing in the roof area except uh insulation and sprinklers insulation and what sprinkler pipings their sprinkler heads are required within the within the attic so let's do this let's um we'll refer the question to the commissioner and then when we deal with um aesthetics and at a later point in our discussion we have a topic on on how it fits with the neighborhood for lack of a better term physical amenities layout et cetera at another time we can talk about it at that point keith how's that thank you you bet um i think that's the end of the questions is that right yes okay any other questions from the board members before we move to the next item on the agenda um mr commission uh i'm sorry um to judge uh both of dick with divots and rachel uh laughter sorry rachel i don't know how to say your last name have raised their hands oh i didn't see that okay mr voskevich hi um so what was presented does meet zoning um the question of why it's so high is more of a design question um that can be addressed by a different pitch on the roof um like it was mentioned by the architect it's the width of the structure so you're comparing a smaller house with a larger structure um we i don't know what the original building looks like in terms of a full basement full walkout or if it's a crawl space so all these factors come into play but um i think ultimately it does meet the zoning requirements of the three stories is the maximum and the height is met by what has been shown with the average of the overall height of the roof so um i'm not sure what else you would like to know about so i think that but i i think these are all things to have when we talk about the physical amenities and the layout of the property as opposed to discussions that um that's the right time for this discussion because we're talking about design and physical layout and amenities and not today so let's have that discussion at that point in one of that meeting when we do that and i think it's in two meetings we'll be talking about that okay okay that was good um was there another somebody else have a question uh rachel who's the landscape architect um rachel can you i was just i was going to make a similar point that miss breaststroke had pointed out in a previous meeting that the um the height that's three stories was allowed by zoning um and we were meeting all those terms so but that i understand it's a later discussion okay good all right thank you um the next topic we want to deal with is local and regional need and i think we have a presentation from town staff on the local and regional need for this type of housing and i expect that they will talk about the need for single occupancy single use single-person use units so nate are you going to present that sure yeah i don't have a presentation per se i'll just be giving a little talk and uh maybe 45 minutes if that works yeah so you know with a comprehensive permit uh the zba is asked to weigh you know the the local and regional need of affordable housing to any possible impact from a project and so you know the regional need and local need is great for affordable housing and amherst especially for studio apartments the you know valley has information in their um application and their pel there is no comparable housing in amherst and so um you know it's hard to say exactly what's the need um but it's great and i think the you know i'll just give a little background dave zomack did it as well but the town has worked for years to find this type of project and so whether or not we're working specifically with valley you know 10 years ago the town was interested in finding housing for homeless individuals uh housing for extremely low income so 30 ami or less and you know there's been different housing studies different working groups to look at this specifically we've been looking at housing for um you know studios or smaller apartments and transitional housing for you know five years in earnest putting money in for studies you know valley has received block grant funding and cpa funding to further this project you know we held that housing trust has held a few forums on this type of housing so having different providers and developers discuss why single room occupancies are needed um as both housing for professionals for people transitioning out of homelessness um so you know it's a you know it's not just one user it's different users that can occupy studio apartments and so you know we've really been working on this type of project for four or five years and the fruition of that is this application and you know the town supported it through different zoning changes through monetary um funds and so it you know i think you know from our perspective it's something that is needed um just to give a perspective you know the master plan in 2000 the master plan was done in 2009 and 10 and there's previous work done on it and even back then it identified expanding infill and density in the downtown and village centers with smaller units and so even then the town's vacancy rate was uh less than two percent so you know the average vacancy rate in the state may be six percent or higher and that allows for turnover but in amherst you know the students drive the market the housing production plan in 2013 the 2015 housing market study really said that students drive the market and they put pressure on uh both you know homeowners and renters to find housing in town and so you know uh even in the master plan they said that you know the vacancy rate was less than two percent they found that over half the renters were cost burdened that means they're spending over 30 of their income for housing and more recent studies have found similar information so that you know the housing market study and the housing production plan found that those numbers have even increased that you know over half the renters are spending 30 percent of their income many are spending over 50 percent of their income on housing the 2015 housing market study looked at studios a little bit more in depth and they found that you know they looked at off-campus listings um from umass and different sources and just to give you an idea only point four percent of listings for apartments and amherst were studio apartments in a complex so the rest are for you know one two or three bedrooms but there are very few studio apartments amherst had more studio apartments you know rooming houses sros you know whatever you want to call them but they've been converted or changed so really right now there's maybe only two actual studio apartment buildings in town that are strictly studio apartments uh the housing market study found also that the rents for studios in one bedrooms are the highest in cost per bedroom and so they're um they're effectively two or three times more than what someone earning you know an affordable income can afford so when we've done more work with beacon looking at prices and justifying local preference we found that on the newer developments one east pleasant or kendrick place or some of the newer developments that have small one bedrooms or studio apartments the market rate units are almost three times as expensive as what someone could afford so university drive for instance their their market rate two-bedroom was over two times what some what the affordable unit is rented at so that just gives you a sense for the need of of um the housing you know the cost of housing is so great and amherst that um it's very difficult to afford to live there in terms of numbers you know just a few years ago in 2018 the waiting list for one bedroom units for affordable units in town so for instance at watson farms there's 54 people on the wait list you know there's um over a hundred at olympia oaks for the one bedroom units and there's six there are 67 for the one bedroom units at butternut farms and you know uh these can overlap with different size units but it just shows you that for you know the smaller units there is ample waiting list um the housing authority uh in amherst united it's a four-year waiting list to get um to be eligible to get on um you know their section a um you get a section eight unit to get a voucher and sometimes it's six or seven years depending on how you keep track of um when you apply so the need to find housing is great and the cost is high uh the housing production plan found that there was you know an unmet need of almost 2 000 units for extremely low income that's earning 30 ami or less in amherst um they found that there was over 500 units for a low income are very low income which is 30 to 50 percent and you know another 600 for low income which is 50 to 80 so you know there's thousands of uh units and there's unmet um you know that are unmet so the demand is there the need is there the units aren't available and both the housing production plan and the market study found that the biggest problem with amherst was the lack of production and so what's dominated the amherst housing market in recent years is the production of single-family homes so there's been more apartment complexes that have been developed but by and large between 2000 and 2010 the greatest amount of residential permits that were issued was for single-family homes building permits so single-fam expensive single-family homes has been dominating the market in recent years we're seeing more you know multi-family mixed-use buildings being developed that i mentioned like one east pleasant or kendrick place but they are so expensive that they price out you know most most tenants especially anyone looking for an affordable unit you know these these developments do not have any affordable units um you know valley cdc mentioned a few things in there in their pel i was just going to reference it again it's you know they're really in terms of housing for homeless individuals there is no housing in amherst we have a seasonal shelter craig's doors um you know they are they operate uh craig's place a seasonal shelter um you know they can see anywhere from you know 100 to 160 unique individuals during a shelter season uh there's a point in time count in january for the number of homeless individuals in a community and that can range from 15 to 20 or slightly more in amherst um it's hard to say exactly you know how many homeless are are live in amherst you know because of the nature of the population but even so we don't have any comparable housing in amherst for homeless individuals or extremely low individuals extremely low income individuals and the i think the big one too is the cost that cost of housing enamor so like i said being cost burdened so the housing trust has been working on you know ways to increase the type of housing and renters and amherst are disproportionately affected by the student demand for housing so students you know are able to pay more per unit because they pay you know basically per bedroom or by by student so um you know like i said that you know a studio apartment and some of these places may be running from 1500 to eighteen hundred dollars a month which um that's for a studio apartment and that's that's not even a one bedroom or two bedroom and that is much more than uh an affordable unit would be capped at so you know whether or not um how much demand there is there just isn't housing at all to meet any demand but that's you know i think there is you know tremendous demand um the amorous housing authority also reported that on their waiting list they have thousands a few thousand people to get into units so it's not just you know 20 or 30 it's it's thousands of people wanting to live in amherst and you know and that that you know they so when a tenant wants to apply to a unit depending on their household size they can specify a one or two bedroom or a studio so there can be some overlap so it's really hard to drill down and say how many um you know unrepeated people want just a studio apartment it would take um a little more digging but um in any event you know it's you know a few thousand people are waiting to get into housing in amherst um and i think i think that's it for now in terms of the regional and local need there's any questions board members have any questions nate it seems to me that you said there's a deficit of 2 000 units 2 000 units for single individuals at either low extremely low low low income very low income or extremely low income is that right that was just for all households it's not just for individuals the difficulty is you know how do you define um just individuals so you know with in the housing production plan they they found you know at least 15 to 20 beds are needed for homeless individuals and they found a few you know 200 units for um for extremely low income which is typically a single individual so they found you know a few hundred units were needed uh for that population for single individuals yes you know but that's at the very low income level and so you know valley is doing a mixed income uh project so it's both you know extremely low income up to 80 so the housing market study really looked at the different types of um of people who would want to live in amherst both affordable and market rate and they found that you know many young professionals visiting professors you know professional individuals retirees want to live in amherst and they may want studio apartments and so they you know what they were saying is that because students outprice individuals because they the way they they live together it's you know they said that there's you know they said well in new england they said there's over a million people based on their characteristics their marketing stuff uh strategies but they found that again there was hundreds of of individuals who would want to live in amherst in smaller apartments that can't and you know that's both affordable and market rate so the housing 2015 housing market study you know just said that there is a great demand for you know smaller units and some of that was also based on the price right if they're being priced high that shows that there's high demand for them so you know developers who are developing new units know that those you know that they can get that price if they didn't they wouldn't be priced that high and so clearly there's a demand for studios and small one bedrooms that's kind of the trend right now we're seeing in mixed use developments and new developments is that they're not at affordable prices there's none being no there's no nothing being developed without subsidy or without support at affordable prices right right that's the issue is mr mirror thank you just i i need a few points of clarification so i understood originally that each unit was 265 000 times 28 units which adds to the total of 7.42 million dollars is that correct yes and with inflation with recent prices of materials that have escalated with covert 19 etc etc what is the new price tag um we tried to price it the original pricing was done on a square foot basis and we tried to build in a little bit of contingency in it because until you have an actual firm complete design you can't really go on out into the marketplace and test it so we did build a little bit of cushion and we also have a contingency built into the construction cost my point again is how is this affordable housing at 265 000 a unit for the square footage we're proposing and i appreciate the need for it but how is this affordable so i think i'll just mention that the cost of the development um can relate to the affordability if a developer passes on costs through you know through rent but here valley is subsidizing the rent essentially so that they're capped at a certain amount so that's what makes it affordable whether or not it's affordable to develop we're looking at what is affordable for someone to pay on a monthly basis and so you know if valley is going for an energy efficient building um you know that could meet passive health standards they may be willing to spend more up front because in the long run it reduces energy costs for tenants and users and so the cost of the development isn't necessarily what we're looking at when it looks and when we're talking about affordable it's about what does a tenant pay to live there and so the units themselves are going to have um you know a reduced rate and that's what makes it affordable so it's affordable to someone earning different income levels so they're spending less than 30 percent of their monthly income on housing that's that's how you know that's how the town and the state look at affordability not necessarily you know you know they'll look at the cost of the development on a per square foot basis to see if it's competitive but they're not going to say well that's not an affordable housing development other questions on local and regional need miss parks um so is it um so will valley be trying to give local preference is that something that's okay to do so our comprehensive permit application um speaks a little bit to the issue of local preference we as the developer can't impose local preference um according to the state which is the big kind of funder of all this stuff that request would need to come from the municipality and we could assist with that what we've said in our comprehensive permit application is that we don't necessarily our first choice would not necessarily be local preference but there are pros and cons either way with local preference we think housing is a regional need and a regional resource and what we see uh as applications in our other properties is primarily from western mass it's the kind of corridor the franklin new hampshire hampton county is where we tend to get applicants from so it depends how you define local i it that's our original pull from we don't get people from out of state typically trying to apply and this this is a really important question uh ms parks and this is something that is number four on the agenda oh okay yep yep i know you're and i promise you we will get to local preference here um but one of the things i want to close this out and then i want to get to public comments because we didn't have public comment last time and then we'll get to local preference if there's time tonight or first thing at our next meeting but i want to just i want to finish out the the establishment of need and make sure the members have all the information they need to decide um if this is the appropriate response to that need the existing need yeah can i add a little data so at the sergeant house property that just opened um we had about 25 open units because we had some returning tenants we had 250 applicants for those units in the lottery so it's about 10 applicants for every unit that was available and that's a pretty steady number at lumberyard which is family housing we had 55 units with 450 applications so that's a nine to one so really you're looking at about eight nine ten times the number of people wanting a unit than the number of units that you have on our waiting list for other single room occupancy properties we tend to run between about 80 to 100 people waiting for units and they don't turn over that often so it's it's again there's just a lot more demand than there are units i sense that we've exhausted our questions on local and regional need uh not on local preference and that we'll get to uh so i think we can so i'd like to get to public comments at the last meeting we did not have time for public comments and i do want to give time for the public to comment on this application um so if you if you uh would raise your hand use the feature on zoom that allows you to raise your hand staff will help to identify people who wish to speak when you do speak give your name and address talk you have about three minutes um make it uh and to provide your point we want to make sure that everybody that's that wants to speak can speak and um and we want to hear your opinions and your views so i would ask that if you are interested raise your hand maureen will identify that person and we will um uh pat deangelis has a comment go ahead name and address can you hear me yes yes um i want to um i live at 21 ward street here in amherst i also need to say that i am a member of the town council from representing district 2. i am not here on behalf of the council i'm here as a private citizen um so let me see so i moved to amherst with my wife carol and our son jesse 27 years ago for two very important reasons one was the quality of the amherst public schools and the other was our desire to live in a diverse and collaborative community the pomeroy lane corp cooperative which was a newly created community developed by the organization called a bose whose members were parents of adult children with cognitive and physical challenges in january 1993 our family along with 24 other families some like us who had come to amherst from neighboring towns and cities moved into the pomeroy lane co-op we were intentionally diverse we were households labeled low-income section 8 and market rate we were asian latinx black and white we were gay and straight we were individuals with diverse cognitive physical and emotional needs and we were all at varying levels of understanding about issues of racism social economic and environmental justice living in the community challenged the assumptions we held about each other living together we started to see the strength and creativity inherent in the diversity of our community we learned to see and acknowledge difference and to find ways to collaboratively solve the problems that arose this experience this community showed me what amherst could be this experience is one of the many reasons i support valley cdc 132 northampton road project and wholeheartedly welcome the people who will live there today i have friends who are personal care attendants who work at stop and shop who are recovering from cancer who are cognitively disabled who are writers and former teachers all of whom need a home a real home one which this project can provide so i am left asking you the members of the cba will you and the rest of our community make it feasible for low-income and extremely low-income residents to live productively in our community will we make it possible for people healing from racism classism homelessness illness or addiction move into our community and flourish will we welcome their energy creativity and experiences and allow them to challenge our assumptions and enrich our lives and our community with their presence please support this project thank you very much thank you um maureen who's next um we have let's see here kathy kathy shone sean there you go kathy can you hear us can you hear me yes now we can yep okay um i'm kathy shane i'm at 519 montague road and as pat d'angelis just said i'm on the council but i'm representing myself not the council um i to support this project and i have basically two questions as you re get to the physical design of the building and the space and i i believe i asked at least one of them when this went through the council these are being designed as very small units for one person efficiencies which has the point has been made several times if a person gets married or if a person has a child that would mean they have to move out and one of my questions was could a few of these units in the way the house the building is designed share a wall that doesn't have utilities and wires in it so if in the future there was a decision that you really need a few one-bedroom units that you could convert two efficiencies and turn it into one it's similar to what you see sometimes in hotels where there's an adjoining room and it wouldn't be go ahead and do that so it doesn't have to have a door in it but would it be possible because it may be that you don't want to ask people to move um when they end up being more than one person and they may want to stay having formed a community so that's a question on what is possible in the structure and the second is when you when um we were just shown the pictures of what the units will look like in closet space um the ones seem to have a very small closet for clothing as part of the kitchen and so my question on that is uh is is there are there built-in dressers is there room for clothing if it's not in the unit is their storage space so people can put their winter sweater someplace and take out their summer raincoats or something because it it looked very small even if people are not expected to have much in belongings they might have uh seasonal changes of clothing including coats those are my uh their their questions rather than comments i would i have been and continue to be a strong supporter of this project thank you thank you thank you um susan yep hello can you see me we can hear you oh do i have to do the camera you don't have to just go ahead and begin your name and address please oh okay um yes i spoke on july 2nd i'm susan degrav i live at rolling green apartments in amherst and um i think that the presentation was outstanding that the housing looks great the form of the building is perfectly in keeping with the neighborhood it meets the zoning as was mentioned and i just wanted to mention on july 2nd there was a gentleman who talked about the fact that the homeless have to camp out um when the shelters close for the season all summer and i had an experience with my family where we were camping and long story short i was having my car repaired and i stayed over and i was looking at the stars out of my tent and then all of a sudden at four in the morning there was this beautiful spring shower but i hadn't put the fly up on the tent because of course i hadn't gone camping in 30 years and i got soaked and i had also foolishly been sitting out at my campfire after my kids left and i hadn't secured my belongings so i was lucky i had a change of clothes i went to the ranger station but i was really soaked to the skin and i before i did that i was lying there in the tent just thinking about what it must be like if you literally at that point i didn't have my car it was in the shop i was gonna have to wait for my son to get me at noon i was a at tully lake campground if you know it and i just lay there thinking about what must it be like to be there in the rain in a tent i know i've been at puffer pond and i've seen tents there with people trying to be discreet and tent out and to be soaking wet and have nowhere to go it's just it's just not right so when mr langsdale was talking about you know the walking and so forth it just seems to me that tenting out and being out and homeless and not having a place to go and having soaking wet clothing and things like that no human being should live like that and i think in terms of the walking the other story i would tell briefly is that my daughter and i were exploring some of the gates to the quabbin and we went down a gate and you have to go all the way down you may know it the one at the end of amherst road in route 202 gate 22 well it's a mile and a half down and then you come up and you realize wow i'm really out of shape and there was a woman who did it easily and she was older than me and it made me realize that you know this is something that's very important and i i think it's barbara who talked about you know the need for walking and a lot of these people are not going to be handicapped and the walking is good and i believe it is safe the final thing i would say is there are comments submitted by some of the abutters on august 21st and i really found the citation of all these various acts to be quite disingenuous because she cited the mckinney act the olmstead act the americans with disabilities act as if the concern was that you know disabled people wouldn't be able to apply i don't think they would want a person who is opposing this development to be their lawyer they want someone to say that they are grown-ups and that they need housing and that they don't want to be out in a tent in the elements and this is enough when i hear that since april 2019 the abutters were invited they've had a chance to weigh in i've listened tonight for for all this time and i really applaud you know the zba for doing this but when i hear that there's more discussion coming i would urge you to approve this i think it's absolutely essential and i don't think people should have to be out there and homeless when this is a very reasonable project and the final thing i would say as far as this 53 g review i tried to look it up that miss loizan is asking for and it pertains i think to saying that the developer has a conflict of interest or is not qualified that's clearly not the case here there's complete transparency there's complete competence and professionalism and i understand people who live in the neighborhood don't want this new development but like my daughter said who's a teenager mom they can't choose their neighbors those people didn't do anything wrong did they she's right thank you thank you um barbara wilbur hi yeah and um i'm not speaking for or against barbara graham wilbur 126 northampton road an immediate butter i just had a couple questions or clarifying statements one was um laura you mentioned that you have smoke-free units the question was whether is labeled smoke-free do you still have smokers or is it no longer an issue because you say it's smoke-free so i mentioned that we have smoke-free properties we don't in a in a given property we don't have like an apartment that's smoke free versus another one sorry that was my mistake i meant you had smoke-free yeah buildings yeah so um laura let's do this let's let's let the the public hear the question and you will respond later so just just state your question ms wilbur please okay so the question was that if in the smoke-free buildings do the people still smoke and if they do where do they go there was some discussion about out in the street or whatever um you talked about the new market the black sheep i think that's going to be pretty expensive i don't think that they're going to be very many affordable items there but that's just a guess the letters that you shared were were very nice seem to be discussing daytime um i mean was professional building and another was a cafe so it almost seems like during the day there may be less interaction or less need net less instances of issues then the last thing was it's a little disconcerting that if this need is in amherst that either the housing committee or the zoning board or whomever isn't perhaps more strict in their zoning requiring more affordable housing in these things and sort of regulating what is affordable and what is not so that's it thanks much thank you very much um let's see here uh jim oldham hello uh can you hear me yes yes we can this is jim oldham from 17 columbia drive and i'm speaking to strongly support this proposal and encourage uh the zba to um give it uh full approval um i want to echo a few things that were said and add a particular perspective of my own uh nate spoke i think very well to the the clear need in our community for this type of housing i uh served for a period of time on the comprehensive planning committee that developed our master plan that nate made reference to so again going back more than a decade we've been aware of and people in town have been talking about it i think the previous speaker is absolutely correct that there's much more that we need to do in this town in many ways and how we do zoning and other things uh but uh anything other than approving this project would would be a move in the wrong direction this is a project that addresses a long-awaited need i am very impressed by the high quality of the original proposal and the high quality of the responses that you've been getting to your many questions and the responses to community concerns the professional care and thought has gone into this i've lived on main street in amherst uh as a renter surrounded by other rental units i've lived on east hadley road fairly close to large apartment units now i live on columbia drive still near those large apartment units in a neighborhood surrounded by single-family homes i would say that if if our private um rental properties were given half the care that this u this development is being given if our uh commercial apartment buildings were given half the care if our private homes were who were uh managed as well as as this is clearly going to be managed we would be better off as a town i i it's remarkable to me uh just listening today and having read the materials just how thoughtful and careful valley has been with all of this um i want to speak to the site briefly when i first heard about the site and when i saw it i thought wow how did they iden they must have been trying to get this site for such a long time it's not a perfect site people have mentioned the slope or something but it's about the best site you could possibly hope for for the the need that's being met it is walking distance i've lived in town i've walked to the supermarkets in in my early years in town i've lived without a car it's a great site for somebody who doesn't have a car it's with all the all the things that have been said about the different types of transportation that are available yes it's imperfect in some ways that there's a hill but uh what are you going to do if you want to get to amherst you're going to go up a hill um i ride my bike up the hill to get there from from my home or or walk sometimes so um so that's sort of my final point that i want to make is i appreciate the due diligence of the board i know that's what your job is i know that's what you're supposed to do and and so i really appreciate your care and thought as you think about smoking on the property and snow removal and access to transportation and the size and shape of the building and so on and so forth but i hope that that work will lead ultimately to the approval of a project that will serve the full number of people that valley has set out to serve that will not make the project impossible for them to carry forward that will not make it too expensive as it is it's been noted that it is quite expensive and a lot of resources are going into it i hope that this due diligence will will serve to ultimately deliver uh help valley deliver the excellent um vision they have for serving the need that amherst has been aware of for such a long time and and i hope all right mr oldham can you wrap it up please yep i i just hope that again that this this care um doesn't turn into wearing the developers down wearing the organization that is bringing us such a good opportunity down or or the narrowing of of the opportunity because as as pat angeles said earlier uh this is this is what our community should this these are people our community should be serving thank you thank you very much next is amy gilbert uh laurence thank you my name is amy gilbert loinas and i live at 14 orchard street and i'm in a butter to the proposed project i just want to raise the issue of the tenant selection process and ask for valley cdc to provide more details about how tenants are selected beyond the quarry check and a few disqualifiers determined by law or the rule requiring six months of sobriety sobriety what is the criteria for assessing readiness for independent living and is this consistent across service providers previously valley cdc said that they work with service providers with whom they have pre-arranged memorandums of understanding tonight um for the first time they said they advertise broadly to a large list serve of service providers i think they mentioned 30 providers or some something like that presumably they don't have mou's with most of the agencies on the list serve i think mr chairman you pointed out that they provided two in the proposal do they give preference to the few select agencies with whom they have mousse or do they have a process that gives every applicant applicant equal chance of achieving tenancy can they describe an instance when a tenant came to them independently were connected with a service provider as they mentioned they would do and then subsequently given a room or are these individuals always placed on the waiting list in deference to people who are clients of their preferred providers as i wrote in my letter of august 18th i have many questions and concerns about the tenant selection process and the supportive services plan i strongly believe we need more details valley cdc says their plan is so comprehensive i believe they said 60 pages plus that they will be thoroughly vetted by dhcd it would be great to be able to see these details ahead of time and to get a guarantee around the areas of the hours of the resident service services coordinator transportation services not just ad hoc as in you know if some four residents pull together and want to go to the grocery store those things do happen and that's great but what really is this transportation services plan and the actual program linkages to longer term services one of the things that was presented last week was the idea that the resident services coordinator just provides linkages to services and now um they're proposing the idea of hiring someone who's actually a social service professional does that change the scope of the work of this this person are they going to be providing services on site um you know i i don't have an opinion either way on that i just want to understand what is actually going to be provided in this area thank you thank you very uh much uh degrade so um i just want to say i you know i i yesterday last night i read ms letter from august 18th and she's basically just reiterated it and i want to remain respectful she's a citizen and i'm a citizen but these are red herrings um essentially you know it's sort of like when uh irving younger when he talks about evidence and someone gets on the witness stand and the only question he asks is what's your relationship to the defendant well you're his mother aren't you no more questions she's in a butter she has a particular position and i personally find it very unfortunate that she's trying to act as if she's concerned about discrimination toward the handicapped the disabled who is going to get in you know the presenter i i think i might have gotten her name wrong the head of the valley um barbara or uh yes anyway she clearly went through this in detail anticipated things out of this letter and this has just been been you know debunked this is not these are not rational um objections the transportation has been described the selection process has been described and you know i just i just have to call her out on this i you know i respect her as a person as a citizen and i understand she has her property rights but that's what her objections are about they are not about defending people who uh can't get into the selection process i'm sorry thank you okay um let's also let's go to people who have i realized you had already spoken once let's give everybody a chance first before we have anybody speak a second time from now on but that was that was my fault to not recognize your name right away i'm sorry for that um maureen who's next uh laura and lines laura hi it's laura fitch um 120 pulpit hill road um i just really want to um voice my support of the project susan the grave really spoke my mind um i'm a former foster uh mother well i guess i am a foster mother um from my foster child um was homeless um when she was 19 and pregnant and um she had a really wonderful she was she had been my foster child when she was very young and she had a really good experience in a homeless shelter where they provided her ability to get a ged and she's now independent and has her own business that is was thriving up until the point of covet and is sort of surviving the covet experience and her daughter is like my granddaughter and um you know i think homeless uh i think her program was called housing first but anyway that's the idea is that you house people first and then you can work on their other issues like um getting a ged so that's my that's all i really have to say thank you thank you very much for your input jerry weiss hi i'm jerry weiss 277 middle street in amherst of course and i am the president of the board of directors of craig stores and a former select board member um i've heard many good questions and concerns um that are worthy of exploration tonight and i appreciate appreciate the thorough job that the zoning board has done to date at the same time i've heard nothing in these concerns that would constitute such an egregious drawback uh requiring that this project be scuttled stopping this well thought out and well thought out is doesn't even touch how how really well thought out it is stopping this uh project on the basis of these small in my mind for imperfections suggests that homeless people and low-income people would be better served to not have this project come to fruition that these units not be made available to them which is as you think about it an absurd idea that that the uh questions and concerns are on their behalf on the potential renter's behalf i would advise people to go out and interview low-income people and homeless people to see how they feel about this project and whether they too would be appalled to have it come to fruition because of slope or distance to stop and shop or whatever the concerns are thank you very much thank you thank you um carol lewis uh this is carol lewis can you hear me yes we can but you got an echo i think the echo is now gone is that correct you just fixed it yes thank you um 21 ward street in amherst obviously i i think i've been impressed by the level of details that everyone has gone into about this project but what i feel is really important is i would like to remind you all of the really the big picture here this is a project that will address well-documented needs for poor affordable studio apartments in amherst a need amherst is asked to have developers address and it will be the first and so far the only such housing in amherst and as jerry just said i can't imagine anyone who will say oh i don't want that housing because the closet closet is too small or any of the other kinds of details amherst is also as amherst also has requested these units will be in a mixed income setting it will house some people who are currently homeless or immediately in danger of becoming homeless it will be the kind of mixed income setting also that is part of what amherst has asked to have done it will be located in a reasonable proximity um services are and and there will be services in this which in my mind is above and beyond what is required to provide housing studio housing for p studio apartment housing for people but there will be services some people will take advantage of them and some people won't and that's just fine um and i guess the last thing i want to say is that there couldn't be a better developer to be working with with a proven track record of successful similar projects all over the place has been a strong and much needed partner to amherst has developed what has has worked to develop what has been asked for has put themselves out there in front of this in order to try to make it happen as amherst is requested and i just amhurst must be able to follow through on the things that it has said in the master plan and if things that have been in process for years this is an opportunity to do something so i just want to urge you not to lose sight of that overarching need for this housing at this time now in amherst do the right thing approve this project without any kinds of modifications that would possibly increase its cost thank you very much thank you mr kell uh kegelman mr capelgo can you unmute yourself hello can you hear me now yeah we can yes thank you sorry so um i um submitted some written name and mr kegelman just identify yourself in your address please my name is tom kegelman and i live at 649 east pleasant street in amherst i had submitted some written comments and i um just wanted to briefly uh summarize uh some of them i hope you have a chance to read them i think there's a lot of thoughtful comments that have been submitted and i am impressed with all the work that has been done by uh this committee and by the applicants um i have been living in this community in pioneer valley for over 40 years and i've witnessed the developments that valley has done in northampton east hampton and now on amherst and um in all of them uh i've been very impressed and so um i would like to say that the need that they're addressing is one that's very apparent to me that i see almost every day just yesterday a couple of friends were about to be evicted in the last moment they happened to call a landlord as another applicant withdrew and for that bit of luck but for that bit of luck they would have been homeless their college educated professional musicians and individually they would have been eligible for the apartments being proposed and next door to us there's a single-family home that's been converted to a rental they just dug up a bunch of the front yard to put in new parking and it's happening all over town and especially in our neighborhood and as these developers skirt the few laws that constrain them their lacks management does little to control inexperienced renters and the overwhelming demand is oppressing the ability of young homeowners to come into the community as a member of the municipal affordable housing trust i am bound to promote the town's affordable housing priorities as determined through the most recent town housing plan as a fellow town official i would encourage you to join with us in fulfilling our promise to provide housing for low-income households the plan was received by the local officials town government on every level it received significant support from both them and the residents at large and as far as i'm concerned it is a promise to the town that we will build uh the very badly needed affordable housing and i hope that uh the zba will join with the amaht as fellow town officials to make sure that happens thirdly as a professional housing developer i have over 40 years of experience working with the homeless managing their housing and developing properties designed built and managed to support them as a resident i have seen all the work that valley has done and i've been impressed and i in fact have found a number of things in this project that i might want to borrow from my own projects i wanted to specifically address the amount of support of staff time that they have committed to serve these residents i find it an extraordinary amount i recall partnering with one of the nation's largest affordable housing developers a few years ago and their service budget for over 200 units was less than thirty thousand dollars at the time that would have paid for three quarters fde which comes out to about four thousandths of an fte per household um that's not a typical that's probably pretty uh routine for developers in this field um in our own properties we have about double that maybe a little more and we have received a lot of compliments for the work that we do with our residents many of whom are not homeless but some are and many are low income and uh i would say that the um these valley cdc's commitment of a three-quarter fde for a 28-unit project is several times more per unit than what we would typically provide and 10 times more than your typical developer i should note that the homeless are all around us uh mobile vouchers uh provided by the agencies prioritized people who've been homeless and um they're they're everywhere and i would want to just point out that those who look at this project as housing people who need constant care um i just want to confirm working with the homeless for most of my life that they're just like your neighbors they can be a bit untidy at times a bit quarrelsome at times but they are mostly homeless due to the tight rental market job loss health emergency or domestic violence and not because they need extensive services thank you mr kelly not a nursing home or group home and so i would just encourage you to see these people as um as your neighbors and they will be extremely grateful to have the opportunity to have a decent safe and affordable place to live and i very much hope that you'll give them this well-deserved chance thanks thank you um we have a four one telephone that ends at five one three eight oh you're back mourinho sorry five one three eight hello hello we can hear you yes please identify yourself yes um my name is demetria shabazz i live at 29 chapel road um thank you for allowing me to speak and holding uh this hearing on the project first off housing is a human right and i'm one of the founders of the racial equity task force group of amherst however i'm speaking as a resident i wholeheartedly support this proposal new research from the u.s department of housing and urban development finds that since 2007 massachusetts has been experiencing the highest increase by percentage in family homelessness out of all the states in the country as of 2020 there are currently 3 400 families experiencing homelessness just in massachusetts and the toll of homelessness in the state falls unequally while about 30 percent of state residents are people of color they make up nearly 50 percent of the total homeless population according to the latest federal numbers it's already been expressed by nate the the serious problem in terms of affordability that we encounter here in amherst just for regular affordable housing much less folks who are unhoused it's important for our community to grow and diversify and deepen our understanding of one another the valley cdc project meets all the zoning requirements is very well designed project that would complement any community that it will potentially add to the diversity regarding class race and ability is a plus it should be approved without question because it is a good project that will house the unhoused in a respectful manner add to our community and provide persons with unique needs a place of their own with dignity thank you i certainly hope you all will approve this project thank you very much um do we have anybody else morning yes we have a couple more um hold on one second let's see here um oh i just oh sorry jay hello can you hear me yes you can please identify yourself it's jay levy i'm with uh elliott homeless services and uh i live at 34 logtown road in amherst i kind of have a dual role in connection uh with the project just wanted to state that i've worked with valley cdc uh for many years now on some of their other uh properties that they manage hmr actually does the management but that they developed out in in northampton in particular go we go west and king street properties and what's been very impressive is they've been as as folks that are primarily trying to establish affordable housing for the community they've really gone out of their way to connect with the social service network out in northampton and they've done the same in terms of connecting over time around this project in amherst and i think you know the proof is in the pudding as we say that we've done some really great work out in northampton in terms of getting people housed and supporting them we've done monthly meetings where we've gone over issues that may arise from time to time and having a social service response to be helpful on those properties i know you mentioned seaspec and had some questions on that earlier so i just thought i'd give a quick answer to that that c-spec is something that is a billable through uh mass health and uh it's it's you have to have a clinical license in order to provide that service so some of the uh non-profits in the area like elliott chs homeless services provide some c-spec housing stabilization services for people who are uh chronically homeless so just to say i look forward to working with valley cdc in the future we've housed many many people through their properties have been very successful with long durable tendencies and people have been very happy they've seen a incredible uh difference in the quality of their lives moving forward as they've gone from homeless to being housed so with that i just want to thank you for your time and just know that myself as well as many other community members that are connected with the social services see this as an incredible need and amherst has done such a a fine job in in the sheltering of of people who are homeless but we really need to step up more on the housing front so this is a great opportunity thank you thank you very much other um public comments oh someone's hold on um um let's see here mac user yes my name is charles fuller i'm at 22 chestnut court coming through for answer yes okay go ahead yep it's been 40 years since i've been on a zombing board or a zba um and you know as a organization of a town we did not ask for instance when a bar wanted to expand what the janitor's uh resume was um we did not micromanage services i noticed uh this board has had two hearings based on things that have to do with staffing patterns i wanted to remind people that that is a function of the state board of licensure or the commonwealth board of licensure and program managers um i'd like to say that uh you know that's what uh the professional staff there is for we don't ask our neighbors um how much they drink uh when they move into town these are people these are neighbors in many towns neighbors actually volunteer at places like this come across the street shake hands and meet welcome people to the community that's basically it uh thanks for the opportunity to speak thank you i i don't see anyone else raising the right i see no one else either morning hold on i see hilda um one second hilda um where is it it wait then she lowered her hand hilda do you want to talk i guess not can you hear me yes i did want to talk i put my hand up at the very minute of 8 15. um first of all i want to say that this project is a very beautiful i call it a victorian mansion in a park and it puts all that architecture in downtown amherst to shame for a set of qualities um the other thing i would like to say is that i really hope that you will push as hard as you can for local preference local preference really is only good for 70 of the slots on the first lottery which is not very many housing and amherst already does have well above its quota last i heard 12.7 of uh affordable units here where the towns all around us have none or one or two percent of that and it really bothers me that without the local preference will even or i say even with the local province and given 70 percent of the the first lottery to local people we're still behind the eight ball and providing the number of units that we need and i i often feel that it's not fair for us to subsidize other towns that don't want to do their share and have read for years and years and years about western and finally concord gave in and built affordable housing but many towns don't want it and we've gone out of webway to do it and we're still behind the eight ball so i'm pushing hard for the for the local preference as i have on all i think i did six projects when i was on cba for and and tried to get that for all of them and the last thing i would like to ask about is given that the number of these units are for people who have been homeless or of low circumstances will any of the units be furnished or will there be opportunities for them to get help getting the furniture pots and pans a knife and a fork and a dish that they need in order to live in these units or will they be like camping out on the floor i sure hope that there would be a way that they could get a for either help with a furnished apartment or perhaps get a furnished apartment so that's that's my my question and my comments thank you thank you very much mrs greenbaum thank you anybody else other comments from the public okay um so i think the best way to proceed is for us to just review the questions we don't expect you to be able to to respond to those tonight you can respond to those at the next meeting i think that makes the most sense we've already passed our um our time already but um let's just i want to just run through the questions as i have them and then work with the staff they'll provide a list of questions to you that you can then respond to before the next meeting great thank you and if you can get that to us you know in advance so that we can put the response available to the public so it's it's available as quickly as possible the questions that i heard that you that we need a response from the applicant on um what first regards the wall can be designed such a way to permit a combination of units and i think that'll take some time talking with your architect the second question is can the closet you know around closets is generally can there be can it be bigger what can we do with closets that was the second question um i think the responsibility for to describe the peer review process comes from the town and we can provide put something on the website for that and we have information about what the peer review is um there was a question about is where do people go when if you have a smokes free building and a smoke free space where do people go i think you address that but you might be able to address that again um on the tenant selection process there was a question about what is the criteria for independence is for independent living for being ready for independent living is that a common among service providers so i think a reasonable question is to describe what how you make the determination that a person is ready for um in independent living um let's see oh example of when i can't i'm sorry i had a hard time reading my own writing here example of when a person comes to oh so if a person comes from an independent without being associated with a service provider um do you have any experience of providing them housing did they match them up successfully and do they get housing are they where they put on a waiting list um and the last question was will units be furnished and as a way to provide help for basic outfitting of a of a unit pots pans and essentials sheets blankets i would suspect were there any other questions that board members or staff felt were asked that i did not list okay so it's 9 12 we like to end these at 9 o'clock at night we do have one more um topic that i i hope we could get to but but miss parks i think we're not going to get to it tonight but local preference did come up we'll be well prepared to deal with that at our next meeting as the first order of business uh for our consideration what i'd like to do is before we go to um the public comment on any item not before the board tonight um i'd just like to review that we have like review future meetings and maureen i know you sent it out let's just review when our the meetings upcoming meetings for the zva we have one on september 3rd is that correct correct and that's for matters that are not related to the comprehensive department application so that's kind of a regular meeting and we have a meeting on september 10th correct and that is for this application and what's the next meeting after that september 24th um there is one on the 24th um i believe everyone indicated on the doodle poll that they were available to continue this public hearing after the 10th also on the 17th um [Music] let's see here no uh yes i believe we can continue um this this specific application on the 10th and then on the 17th well i thought you said the 24th uh that is when we have a regular scheduled meeting okay um well let's you and i descri look through that doodle poll so that we um i'm clear about it but i i thought the 17th wasn't oh did we have a meeting but let's let's we will get out to the members exactly when they will be let's let's go over that tomorrow morning make sure that we we got this right okay yeah i might be mistaken no yeah according to my doodle poll the 17th everyone is available okay all right so we have coming up we need to talk about local preference density of housing financial need look at a proforma physical amenities and layouts and waiver requests those are the topics that i see over the next several meetings and i think if we have uh three more meetings perhaps or four i'd love to do this in three we should be able to get to start getting to close of um our consideration on this matter um so we are at um on our next meeting on this will be on the night on the 10th of september on 40b hilda greenbaum is raising your hands i don't know if you want to call on oh now she knew she did by accident yep yeah all right um so i think that concludes the business lowering it oh okay oh oh you're not muted oh what color is raised uh uh i actually don't have the that button feature steve do you have that uh i guess the reason you didn't call on me because i had the wrong color have up might have been it but we're um we're we don't have any uh miss parks i just have a quick question so i just wrote down what you said and it looks like we don't have a meeting this we don't have a meeting thursday meeting september 3rd 10 17 and 24 yes okay so every thursday in september well i i i can resend out a new doodle poll if people feel that they need a uh if they want to change their mind i'm just indicating what was okay um submitted via a doodle poll all right i guess i was just surprised i'm just double checking i'm okay if any members want to change their mind either uh send me an email um let's let's discuss this in the morning and we'll decide about sending out a poll and maybe even choosing yeah i think that let's do an organized poll as opposed to just ad hoc so that we really got it right now we have uh uh christine brestrep is raising your hand uh chris i just wanted to remind you that you need to continue this public hearing to a date certain so that um particular date would not be up for discussion tomorrow the 10th will not be up for discussion tomorrow okay and mr chairman um i just texted with john witten and he is available for the meeting on the 10th i'm not i have another 40b but uh john whitton is available on the 10th okay so we know the 10th will be we will have the meeting on this subject on the 10th we're looking at the i guess the 17th is the one that's up in the air all right um so what we need to do is move to suspend to close this the closest hearing for tonight and to continue mr chairman yes yes to continue until september 10th right is there a second second any discussion uh this is a roll call vote i vote i mr landsdale aye ms o'mara hi miss parks aye mr maxfield aye motion carries unanimous we will meet on this on the 10th of september the last order of business is on tonight's agenda is the opportunity for a member of the public to speak on any subject that is not any matter that is not the subject of tonight's hearing so anything other than the application of 4db that is uh before us tonight seeing no hands raised i think we are done i do i have a motion to adjourn this meeting this hearing [Music] ms parks moves it is there a second second i hear a second from mr mac from mr langsdale i think um this is a any discussion roll call is required chairboat's

information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org this reading by Cara schallenberg this side of paradise by f scott fitzgerald book one the romantic egotist chapter one amerie son of beatrice part two snapshots of the young egotist amery spent nearly two years in minneapolis the first winter he wore moccasins that were born yellow but after many applications of oil and dirt assumed their mature color a dirty greenish brown he wore a gray plaid mackinac coat and a red toboggan cap his dog count delmonte 8 the red cap so his uncle gave him a gray one that pulled down over his face the trouble with this one was that you breathed into it and your breath froze one day the darn thing froze his cheek he rubs snow on his cheek but it turned bluish-black just the same the count delmonte ate a box of bluing once but it didn't hurt him later however he lost his mind and ran madly up the street bumping into fences rolling in gutters and pursuing his eccentric course out of Amory's life amerie cried on his bed poor little count he cried oh poor little count after several months he suspected count of a fine piece of emotional acting amery and frog Parker considered that the greatest line in literature occurred in act 3 of arsène Lupin they sat in the first row at the Wednesday and Saturday matinees the line was if one can't be a great artist or a great soldier the next best thing is to be a great criminal amerie fell in love again and wrote a poem this was it Marilyn and Sally those are the girls for me Marilyn stands above Sally in that sweet deep love he was interested in whether mcgovern of Minnesota would make the first or second all-american how to do the card pass how to do the coin pass chameleon ties how babies were born and whether three-fingered Brown was really a better pitcher than Christie Mathewson among other things he read for the honor of the school Little Women twice the common law Sefo dangerous Dan McGrew the broad Highway three times the Fall of the House of Usher three weeks Mary where the little kernels Chum Gunga Din the police Gazette and Jim Jam gems he had all the hint e biases in history and was particularly fond of the cheerful murder stories of Mary Roberts Rinehart school ruined his french and gave him a distaste for standard authors his masters considered him idle unreliable and superficially clever he collected locks of hair from many girls he wore the rings of several finally he could borrow no more rings owing to his nervous habit of chewing them out of shape this it seemed usually aroused the jealous suspicions of the next borrower all through the summer months Amerie and frog Parker went each week to the stock company afterward they would stroll home in the balmy air of August night dreaming along hennepin and nicollet avenues through the gay crowd amerie wondered how people could fail to notice that he was a boy marked for glory and when faces of the throng turned toward him and ambiguous eyes stared into his he assumed the most romantic of expressions and walked on the air cushions that lie on the asphalt's of fourteen always after he was in bed there were voices indefinite fading and chanting just outside his window and before he fell asleep he would dream one of his favorite waking dreams the one about becoming a great laughs back or the one about the Japanese invasion when he was rewarded by being made the youngest General in the world it was always the becoming he dreamed of never the being this too was quite characteristic of a Murray code of the young egotist before he was summoned back to Lake Geneva he had appeared shy but inwardly glowing in his first long trousers set off by a purple accordion tie and a Belmont collar with the edges unassailably meeting purple socks and handkerchief with a purple border peeping from his breast pocket but more than that he had formulated his first philosophy a code to live by which as near as it can be named was a sort of aristocratic egotism he had realized that his best interests were bound up with those of a certain variant changing person whose label in order that his past might always be identified with him was a Murray Blaine amery marked himself a fortunate youth capable of infinite expansion for good or evil he did not consider himself a strong character but relied on his facility learn things sort of quick and his superior mentality read a lot of deep books he was proud of the fact that he could never become a mechanical or scientific genius from no other heights was he debarred physically amerie thought he was exceedingly handsome he was he fancied himself an athlete of possibilities and a supple dancer socially here his condition was perhaps most dangerous he granted himself personality charm magnetism poise the power of dominating all contemporary males the gift of fascinating all women mentally complete unquestioned superiority now a confession will have to be made a Murray had rather a Puritan conscience not that he yield into it later in life he almost completely slew it but at 15 it made him consider himself a great deal worse than other boys unscrupulousness the desire to influence people in almost every way even for evil a certain coldness and lack of affection amounting sometimes to cruelty a shifting sense of honor and unholy selfishness a puzzled furtive interest in everything concerning sex there was also a curious strain of weakness running crosswise through his makeup a harsh phrase from the lips of an older boy older boys usually detested him was liable to sweep him off his poise into surly sensitiveness or timid stupidity he was a slave to his own moods and he felt that though he was capable of recklessness and audacity he possessed neither courage perseverance nor self-respect vanity tempered with self suspicion if not self-knowledge a sense of people as automatons to his will a desire to pass as many boys as possible and get to a vague top of the world with this background did a Murray drift into adolescence preparatory to the great adventure the train slowed up with Midsomer Langer at Lake Geneva and Amery caught sight of his mother waiting in her electric on the graveled station drive it was an ancient electric one of the early types and painted gray the sight of her sitting there slenderly erect and of her face where beauty and dignity combined melting to a dreamy recollected smile filled him with a sudden great pride of her as they kissed coolly and he stepped into the electric he felt a quick fear lest he had lost the requisite charm to measure up to her dear boy you're so tall look behind and see if there's anything coming she looked left and right she slipped cautiously into a speed of two miles an hour beseeching a Murray to act as Sentinel and that one busy crossing she made him get out and run ahead to signal her forward like a traffic policeman Beatrice was what might be termed a careful driver you are tall but you're still very handsome you've skipped the awkward age or is that 16 perhaps it's 14 or 15 I can never remember but you've skipped it don't embarrass me murmured amery but my dear boy what odd clothes they look as if they were a set don't they is your underwear purple too amerie grunted impolitely you must go to Brooks and get some really nice suits Oh we'll have a talk tonight or perhaps tomorrow night I want to tell you about your heart you've probably been neglecting your heart and you don't know amerie thought how superficial was the recent overlay of his own generation aside from a minut shyness he felt that the old cynical kinship with his mother had not been one bit broken yet for the first few days he wandered about the gardens and along the shore in a state of super loneliness finding a lethargic content in smoking bowl at the garage with one of the chauffeur's the 60 acres of the estate were dotted with old and new summer houses and many fountains and white benches that came suddenly into sight from foliage hung hiding places there was a great and constantly increasing family of white cats that prowled the many flower beds and were silhouetted suddenly at night against the darkening trees it was on one of the shadowy paths that Beatrice at last captured amery after mr. Blaine had as usual retired for the evening to his private library after reproving him for avoiding her she took him for a long Ted attack in the moonlight he could not reconcile himself to her beauty that was mother to his own the exquisite neck and shoulders the grace of a fortunate woman of thirty hey Marie dear she crooned softly I had such a strange weird time after I left you did you be this when i had my last break down she spoke of it as a sturdy gallant feet the doctors told me her voice sang on a confidential note that if any man alive had done the consistent drinking that i have he would have been physically shattered my dear and in his grave long in his grave amerie winced and wondered how this would have sounded to froggy Parker yes continued Beatrice tragically I had dreams wonderful visions she pressed the palms of her hands into her eyes I saw bronze rivers lapping marble shores and great birds that sword through the air parti-colored birds with iridescent plumage I heard strange music and the Flair of barbaric trumpets what a Murray had snickered what a Murray I said go on Beatrice that was all it merely record and record gardens that flaunted coloring against which this would be quite dull moons that world and suede paler than winter moons more golden than harvest moons are you quite well now Beatrice quite well as well as I will ever be I am not understood a Murray I know that can't express it to you a Murray but i am not understood Amerie was quite moved he put his arm around his mother rubbing his head gently against her shoulder poor Beatrice poor Beatrice tell me about you amerie did you have two horrible years hey Murray considered lying and then decided against it no Beatrice I enjoyed them I adapted myself to the bourgeoisie I became conventional he surprised himself by saying that and he pictured how froggy would have gaped Beatrice he said suddenly I want to go away to school everybody in Minneapolis is going to go away to school but you're only 15 yes but everybody goes away to school at fifteen and I want to Beatrice on Beatrice a suggestion the subject was dropped for the rest of the walk but a week later she delighted him by saying Amerie I have decided to let you have your way if you still want to you can go to school yes to st. Regis 'as in connecticut amerie felt a quick excitement it's being arranged continued Beatrice it's better that you should go away I'd have preferred you to have gone to Eton and then to Christ Church Oxford but it seems impracticable now and for the present will let the university question take care of itself what are you going to do Beatrice heaven knows it seems my fate to fret away my years in this country not for a second do I regret being American indeed I think that a regret typical of very vulgar people and I feel sure we are the great coming nation yet and she sighed I feel my life should have browsed away close to an older mellower civilization a land of greens and autumnal browns a Murray did not answer so his mother continued my regret is that you haven't been abroad but still as you are a man it's better that you should grow up here under the snarling Eagle is that the right term amerie agreed that it was she would not have appreciated the Japanese invasion when do I go to school next month you'll have to start East a little early to take your examinations after that you'll have a free week so I want you to go up the Hudson and pay a visit to who to Monsignor Darcy Amerie he wants to see you he went to Harrow and then to Yale became a Catholic I want him to talk to you I feel he can be such a help she stroked his auburn hair gently dear amerie dear Amerie dear Beatrice so early in September amerie provided with six suits summer underwear six suits winter underwear one sweater or t-shirt one Jersey one over coat winter etc set out for New England the land of schools there were and over and Exeter with their memories of New England dead large college like democracies st.

Regis amerie stayed three days and took his exams with a scoffing confidence then doubling back to New York to pay his tutelary visit metropolis barely glimpsed made little impression on him except for the sense of cleanliness he drew from the tall white buildings seen from a Hudson River steamboat in the early morning indeed his mind was so crowded with dreams of athletic prowess at school that he considered this visit only as a rather tiresome prelude to the great adventure this however it did not prove to be Monsignor Darcy's house was an ancient rambling structure set on a hill overlooking the river and there lived its owner between his trips to all parts of the Roman Catholic world rather like an exiled Stuart King waiting to be called to the rule of his land Monsignor was 44 then and bustling a trifle too stout for symmetry with hair the color of spun gold and a brilliant enveloping personality when he came into a room clad in his full purple regalia from fetch to toe he resembled a Turner sunset and attracted both admiration and attention he had written two novels one of them violently anti-catholic just before his conversion and five years later another in which he had attempted to turn all his clever drives against Catholics into even cleverer innuendos against Episcopalians he was intensely ritualistic startlingly dramatic loved the idea of God enough to be a celibate and rather liked his neighbor children adored him because he was like a child youth revel in his company because he was still a youth and couldn't be shocked in the proper land and century he might have been a Rochelle you at present he was a very moral very religious if not particularly pious clergymen making a great mystery about pulling rusty wires and appreciating life to the fullest if not entirely enjoying it he and a Murray took to each other at first sight the jovial impressive prelate who could dazzle an embassy ball and the green-eyed intent youth in his first long trousers accepted in their own minds a relation of father and son within a half hours conversation my dear boy I've been waiting to see you for years take a big chair and we'll have a chat I've just come from school st. Regis is you know so your mother says a remarkable woman have a cigarette I'm sure you smoke well if you're like me you loathe all science and mathematics amerie nodded vehemently hate them all like English and history of course you'll hate school for a while too but I'm glad you're going to st. Regis a--'s why because it's a gentleman school and democracy won't hit you so early you'll find plenty of that in college I want to go to Princeton said I don't know why but I think of all Harvard men as sissies like I used to be and all Yale men as wearing big blue sweaters and smoking pipes Monsignor chuckled I'm one you know oh you're different I think of Princeton as being lazy and good-looking and aristocratic you know like a spring day Harvard seems sort of indoors and Yale is November Chris spend energetic finished Monsignor that's it they slipped briskly into an intimacy from which they never recovered I was for Bonnie Prince Charlie announced a Marie of course you were and for Hannibal yes and for the Southern Confederacy he was rather skeptical about being an Irish Patriot he suspected that being Irish was being in somewhat common but Monsignor assured him that Ireland was a romantic lost cause and Irish people quite charming and that it should by all means be one of his principal biases after a crowded hour which included several more cigarettes and during which Monsignor learned to his surprise but not to his horror that a Marie had not been brought up a Catholic he announced that he had another guest this turned out to be the Honorable Thornton Hancock of Boston ex-minister to the Hague author of an erudite history of the Middle Ages and the last of a distinguished patriotic and brilliant family he comes here for a rest said Monsignor confidentially treating a Murray as a contemporary I act as an escape from the weariness of agnosticism and I think I'm the only man who knows how his staid old mind is really at sea and longs for a sturdy spar like the church to cling to their first luncheon was one of the memorable events of a Murray's early life he was quite radiant and gave off a peculiar brightness and charm Monsignor called out the best that he had thought by question and suggestion and Amery talked with an ingenious brilliance of a thousand impulses and desires and Olson's and faiths and fears he and Monsignor held the floor and the older man with his less receptive less accepting yet certainly not colder mentality seemed content to listen and bask in the mellow sunshine that played between these two Monsignor gave the effect of sunlight too many people amerie gave it in his youth and to some extent when he was very much older but never again was it quite so mutually spontaneous he's a radiant boy thought Thornton Hancock who had seen the splendor of two continents and talked with Parnell and Gladstone and Bismarck and afterward he added to Monsignor but his education ought not to be entrusted to a school or college but for the next four years the best of a Murray's intellect was concentrated on matters of popularity the intricacies of a university social system and American society he has represented by biltmore tease and Hot Springs Golf Links in all a wonderful week that saw a Murray's mind turned inside out a hundred of his theories confirmed and his joy of life crystallized to a thousand ambitions not that the conversation was scholastic heaven forbid a Murray had only the vaguest idea as to what Bernard Shaw was but Monsignor made quite as much out of the beloved vagabond and Sir Nigel taking good care that a Murray never once felt out of his depth but the trumpets were sounding for a Murray's preliminary skirmish with his own generation you're not sorry to go of course with people like us our home is where we are not said Monsignor I am sorry no you're not no one person in the world is necessary to you or to me well goodbye end of book one chapter one part to read by kara schallenberg wwk ra org on sep tember 21st 2006 in Oceanside California you | The World of Audiobooks | UCWk0a2UKxX_lqVhrbrgHMvA | 2016-09-04 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 3,497 | 19,306 |

vAdgGot6wb0 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAdgGot6wb0 | Lecture 8: Miscellaneous Alternatives | hi I'm back this is dr. Harriet hall with lecture 8 in a series of 10 lectures on science-based medicine in previous lectures I covered the big five major areas of alternative medicine chiropractic acupuncture homeopathy naturopathy and energy medicine but there are a lot of minor topics I haven't covered in this lecture I'm going to talk about some of the recurrent themes and alternative medicine and then I'll cover some remaining odds-and-ends some of which are really odd and should be ended first I want to talk about zombies recurrent memes and myths that refused to die no matter how many times they're debunked to disprove they keep coming back to haunt us there are lots of them but I'll focus on these seven examples the bogus homunculus food as medicine the idea that a proper diet will prevent all debt all disease the idea that super foods have unique health benefits that weight loss can be effortless that detoxification is necessary for health and that retained feces are poisoning the body I'll start with zombie number one the bogus homunculus meme homunculus means little man in Latin it refers to any small scale representation of the human body these are two a real homunculi they show the areas of the brain that correspond to sensation and movement in various parts of the body the one on the Left maps the sensory cortex the one on the right maps the motor cortex a disease or injury that has damaged these parts of the brain because of paralysis or a loss of sensation and the corresponding parts of the body in lecture seven I talked about cargo cult science where people imitate science without understanding the principles involved alternative medicine offers lots of examples of cargo cult science where the homunculus is imitated in other parts of the body without any under standing of the underlying Anatomy these real homunculus and the cerebral cortex represent the true wiring of the nervous system as mapped by anatomist and neurophysiologists alternative homunculus en't nothing but wild imagination I talked about ear acupuncture in lecture for a doctor in France imagine that the ear looked like a fetus curled up in its mother's womb this led to several versions of a bogus homunculus like this one there are no anatomical connections between the ear and the areas of the body depicted here reflexology offers a lot of different bogus maps of regions on the foot that have no anatomical connections to the areas shown and iridology offers yet another bogus map of the body on the iris of the eyes here's another bogus map on the hand from hand acupuncture that was hand acupuncture this one is from hand reflexology just press on the right spot to relieve pain in the corresponding areas of the body notice that this is entirely different from the hand acupuncture diagram notice the spine running along the outside edge of the thumb the eyes on the middle finger the arms on the index finger and the heart at the top of the little finger even individual teeth are said to correspond to organs according to this diagram when I fell and broke my top two front teeth it should have affected my kidneys it didn't remember but reflexology from the acupuncture lecture it showed a homunculus on the periphery of the buttocks it's no sillier than any of the other diagrams I've just shown you zombie meme number two is food as medicine this is a really old one dating back to ancient Egypt the ancient Egyptians thought that all diseases were caused by what people ate and that dietary regimens could cure Hippocrates said let food be your medicine and medicine be your food of course he didn't really have much in the way medicine so food was probably the best he could do today some people like dr. joel Fuhrman are still echoing Hippocrates he says we must unleash the disease fighting artillery in our own kitchens should patients just be given drugs for diabetes cholesterol blood pressure and more or should they know they have the opportunity for a complete for a complete non drug recovery we don't need to find the cure it's already been found and it's sitting there on the shelves of our grocery stores how did my grocery store dude he kind of wonder where he shops the cure for diabetes right there between the arugula and the artichoke I don't think so Mark Hyman agrees he says food cures everything he says scientists have discovered a powerful drug to cure all chronic illness he says food is the most powerful drug we have the fastest acting were the most impressive results and no side effects really if he had pneumonia I wonder if he'd treat it with food instead of antibiotics if he were in agony with a kidney stone I wonder if he would refuse morphine and just eat something instead the word nutraceuticals is a compound of the word nutrition and pharmaceutical it's a marketing term that refers to food sold as medicines it includes dietary supplements and also foods that have been fortified with extra nutrients like iodine salt quite watch lists the American nutraceutical Association as a questionable organization as far as science is concerned foods can't be considered medicines unless that can be shown to treat diseases food can treat diseases caused by nutritional deficiencies scurvy is a disease caused by a deficiency of vitamin C and citrus fruits are a good source of vitamin C so they can be used as medicines to treat scurvy good nutrition is important to health in general but I don't know of any specific food that can serve as effective medicine to treat any non deficiency disease lots of claims are made for instance they'll tell you that cinnamon Laura's blood sugar and can be used to treat diabetes but studies have done conflicting results and even those that showed lower blood sugar didn't find any improvement in hemoglobin a1c levels which are the best measure of long term diabetes control the American Diabetes Association concluded that cinnamon doesn't work zombie meme number three the idea that a proper diet will prevent all disease you may have heard statements like these if you eat right you can't ever get sick or a proper diet will prevent 100% of cancers and will cure cancers already present that's simply not true some people think a proper diet is better than vaccines some anti-vaxxers claim that vaccines didn't make a difference they point out that deaths from contagious diseases were already declining before vaccines were introduced well they were because of better sanitation better nutrition and more effective medical treatment of sick children deaths were declining but the incidents the number of children who caught the diseases wasn't declining you'd only decline when vaccines were introduced the idea that factors like sanitation or diet are more effective than vaccines is just nonsense we've seen several natural experiments in both developed and underdeveloped countries where the vaccination rate declined and the incidence of the disease increased and then when the vaccination rate rose again the incidence of the disease dropped again in the same country with no change in nutrition or sanitation some people insist that a healthy child who's adequately nourished can't get sick they are dreaming the nutrition may reduce the risk of catching an infectious disease and it may reduce the risk of serious complications but it certainly doesn't prevent the diseases some people think a proper diet will prevent cancer and we know that can't be true the majority of cancers 58% of them are due to bad luck and they're unavoidable some cancers are due to heredity there are familial cancers and inherited mutations like the BRCA genes that cause breast cancer the body's constant constantly copying DNA as cells divide and the process is imperfect copying errors can lead to cancer and there are unavoidable random mutations only about 42 percent of cancers can be attributed to environmental or lifestyle factors and nearly half of those are due to tobacco being overweight is associated with 5% of cancers exposure to radiation from all sources sun tanning beds medical procedures and natural background radiation is associated with another 5% you're more likely to get cancer if you live at a high altitude or live in a brick house or if you have radon in your basement and eating too fruit too few fruits and veggies probably accounts for around 5% alcohol is associated with 3.5% of cancers chemical toxins like pesticides and workplace exposures account for a small percentage of cancers and a few cancers are caused by infections like HPV and hepatitis B but we have vaccines to prevent those different studies come up with different numbers an estimate from the American Cancer Society is more optimistic it says that as many as a third of cancers might be preventable with diet but that includes dieting to prevent obesity it's true that eating a healthy diet will reduce the risk of cancer but there's no way it can prevent all cancers there's no way diet could have any effect on the bad luck factors proper diet can't prevent all disease but it can prevent deficiency diseases and it can reduce the risk of some other diseases what can science tell us about proper diet science discovered vitamins and it has a pretty good handle on what nutrients we need the best scientific knowledge is reflected in published nutrition guidelines we need six categories of nutrients proteins fats carbohydrates vitamins minerals and water the body digests what you eat and breaks it down into its component nutrients the original source of the nutrients is not important throughout human history people have eaten a wide variety of diets some rich in plant foods some poor in plant foods and rich in animal foods people can thrive on a wide variety of diets modern vegans eat no animal products Eskimos live family on raw meat and blubber the Maasai subsist mainly on raw meat raw milk and raw blood from their cattle people can live on raw meat alone it has all the nutrients we need even vitamin C which is destroyed by cooking a raw meat diet may be nutritious but I wouldn't recommend it studying diet is problematic most studies are questionable because it's hard to control exactly what people eat and it's practically impossible to do double-blind studies researchers can ask people to follow a diet but they can't very well enforce compliance even patients in controlled inpatient settings can cheat friends can smuggle in food or patients can sneak down to the gift shop for a candy bar most studies rely on self reports and recall and we know that memory is unreliable and estimates of portion size are unreliable nutrition recommendations change but that's the value of science it can change in response to better evidence as we learn more about risk factors for heart disease first we were told to avoid cholesterol in the diet and then total fat in saturated fat and now it seems everything's okay except trans fats when experts recommend loaf recommended low fat diets people replace the fats with high-calorie carbohydrates and they got fat and then low-carb diets became popular so what should we eat low fat low carb low protein no meat we don't have any good yet some diets like the Mediterranean diet and the vegetarian diet have been shown to correlate with better health but we don't know if they're ideal and they certainly don't prevent all disease by any means traditional Chinese medicine has a non scientific view of nutrition it classifies foods as warm cool moist or dry here are some examples boiled spinach is cooling and moistening so it would presumably treat warm dry diseases if there were really any such thing as a warm dry disease roast beef and chilled wine are warming toast while dry to the touch actually moistens the body whatever guests they make a lot of health claims for these four categories of food but it's all based on pre-scientific mythology it's superstition and magical thinking not science Ayurveda the ancient Indian system of medicine is equally unscientific in Ayurveda diet recommendations are determined by your dosha your mind body type to pacify kapha you should eat spicy foods and avoid sweet foods except for honey but don't heat the honey avoid tomatoes and nuts turkey is fine but avoid rabbit and pheasant to reduce Vata eat sweet sour and salty foods avoid spicy foods nuts are good and so are dairy products for excess peta eat sweet foods and avoid the spicy eat nuts I took Deepak Chopra's quiz and I found out that my type is mixed beta and pita those two apparently agree that I should eat sweet food a voice avoid spicy foods and eat nuts but that left me confused as to whether I should eat sour and salty foods and dairy products everyone seems to want to tell us what to eat here are some of the diets people advocate that are not supported by evidence the Paleo diet based on what we think our ancestors ate raw food diet based on the belief that cooking destroys the lifeforce and food the blood type diet the alkaline diet the makers diet which only allows foods that are mentioned in the Bible fruitarians who eat only fruit the tapeworm diet this is OD AK diet there is so many of these fad diets it seems like there's a new one every month and they not only want to tell you what to eat but how to eat certain food shouldn't be mixed food should be eaten in a certain order don't drink liquids with meals advocates of Fletcher izing even want to tell you how to chew you must chew your food 32 times then you spit it out the idea is that you would absorb the nutrients without the bulk and would lose weight Fletcher's motto was nature will castigate those who don't masticate there's a plethora of claims an A+ proof so how can you choose the right diet we still have a lot to learn but the available evidence is converging on this diet advice eat a variety of foods mostly plants not too much get your nutrients from food rather than from pills most reputable sources of dietary advice emphasize plant-based foods your mom was right when she told you to eat your vegetables zombie meme number four is that certain foods have unique health benefits sometimes they're called superfoods good nutrition is important to health but there are no special foods with unique health benefits Gaylord Hauser discovered that these five wonder foods would add years to your life skim milk brewers yeast wheat germ yogurt and blackstrap molasses he also claimed that he had cured himself of tuberculosis of the hip by eating 36 lemons a day for one to two weeks I find that hard to believe it makes me wonder why he didn't add lemons to his list of wonder foods he wasn't a doctor or a scientist he was a huckster who had had several run-ins with the FDA for making false claims to sell products like anti diet cider vinegar is promoted as a cure-all that keeps the body in balance thins the blood a aids digestion and gives you a longer healthier youthful life the evidence for those claims zero wheatgrass juice allegedly has all these wonderful effects it cleanses the body neutralizes toxins slows the aging process and prevents cancer the plant enzymes in wheatgrass are supposed to supplement body enzymes but that doesn't seem likely since we know that enzymes are destroyed by digestion there is no evidence that any of those claims are true the stuff looks putrid and they tell me it tastes even worse one of the latest fads is anti inflammatory foods inflammation is such a Bugaboo that it even made the cover of Time these foods are supposed to be anti inflammatory kelp wild Alaska salmon Turek shiitake mushroom green tea papaya blueberry extra virgin olive oil broccoli sweet potato they supposedly counteract heart disease Alzheimer's Parkinson's age-related disorders many cancers and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis evidence for these claims is lacking there's a whole science of nutrigenomics now it's true that nutrients affect gene expression and genetic differences affect how we process nutrients someday we may be able to provide individualized diet advice based on the genome but the companies that currently offer nutria genomic testing and advice are pretty much a scam designed to tell you to sell you their brand of diet supplements acai is billed as the number one superfood in the world look at all these claims weight loss increased energy better digestion improved sleep enhanced mental health stronger immune system healthier skin youthful appearance detoxification benefits in circulation healthier heart Wow the evidence zero in fact a study showed that the antioxidant content of acai berries was less than that of mangoes strawberries and grapes acai is one of the super fruits that are said to offer value beyond basic nutrition promoter is typically hype a single exotic tropical super fruit but all of these have been designated super fruits acai baobab meki mangosteen goji sea buckthorn jujube cuckoo o su pitayas pomegranates guava dragon fruit Kiwi lychee berries YUM berries how could you decide which one to choose super fruits is a marketing term and it's used mainly to promote exotic tropical fruits that have to be imported and can be sold at exorbitant prices there are high in nutrients but they don't offer any special benefits that you can't get from other fruits a lot of more common fruits have also been designated as super fruits including choke cherries lingonberries blueberries blackberries raspberries figs apples bananas cantaloupe cherries citrus fruits plums strawberries tomatoes avocado pumpkin and pumpkin seeds watermelon and pineapple you know maybe an expensive fruit has more antioxidants per gram but you can get the same amount of antioxidants if you eat enough of the cheaper fruits lists of superfoods contradict each other here are three different lists that I found on the Internet the one on the right is dr. Oz's there is very little overlap 23 items appear on only one of these three lists and the only item that's common to all three lists is beans all these foods are a good source of various nutrients but there's nothing special about them oranges are usually considered a great source of vitamin C but many other fruits have more than oranges one medium range has 70 milligrams of vitamin C a cup of chopped red bell pepper has nearly three times as much 190 milligrams 2 Kiwi fruits have 137 milligrams a serving of broccoli has 132 milligrams other foods that have more vitamin C than an orange include green bell peppers mango pineapple Brussels sprouts cauliflower strawberries papayas kale and chili peppers a superfood may contain a high level of a nutrient or even high levels of most multiple nutrients but if you're already getting enough of those nutrients in your regular diet eating a superfood won't make you healthier the excess will just be eliminated you may have noticed that most of the claims of health benefits of foods are rather vague unless a product has been approved by the FDA as a medicine it's illegal to claim that it can cure treat or prevent any disease one company falsely advertised that elderberry juice could cure treat or prevent various disease conditions including aids diabetes and flu and their products were seized by the FDA zombie meme number 5 there is an effortless way to lose weight don't you wish physics tells us that if you use up more calories than you take in you will necessarily lose weight it's simple in principle but it's fiendishly difficult to put into practice and it takes a lot of effort people want a way to make it easy if it sounds too good to be true it probably is a Kivar 2050 advertised that you could eat all you want and still lose weight they said we couldn't say it in print if it wasn't true but they did say it in print and it wasn't true they were using deceptive marketing tactics to sell an untested product they claimed to have evidence from two clinical trials but neither of those trials actually tested the product one just tested caffeine there is no evidence that acabar 20/50 aids weight loss but if it does it's probably because it contains a lot of caffeine and frankly coffee tastes better and is cheaper hood iya is a cactus like plant that only grows in the Namib Desert it was traditionally used by skinny Bushmen in the Namib Desert as an appetite suppressant in starvation conditions on long hunts recently it has been touted as a miracle weight-loss pill for lazy fat people with plenty of access to food if that doesn't necessarily follow it can't be cultivated you have to go out and find it in the desert its popularity led to biopiracy it was stolen from the Sun people it's protected by law and it can only be exported under license with part of the profits being returned to the Sun when several Hood EO products were tested half of them contained less than a tenth of a percent of what the label said and half of those contain no hoodia at all so if you're by if you buy it you're probably not getting any and if you are getting any you're defrauding the Sun people either way I'd say the customer was getting hoody await it hasn't been proven safer effective a pharmaceutical company worked on it for a while trying to extract the active ingredient but they gave up on it finally in 2011 a study showed that it doesn't work and it causes side effects dr. oz seems to have a new weight-loss miracle every month or two the latest one is Garcinia cambogia he calls it the weight loss Holy Grail he's easily impressed by testimonials and he disregards the scientific studies that have shown either no effect or an effect too small to be clinically significant oh and it is known to cause various side effects before this one dr. oz recommended other miracles like green coffee bean extract raspberry ketones yerba mate a bill berry hot pepper jelly catechin and conjugated linoleic acid acacia powder pickles red wine and wet foods dr. oz must have been eating a lot of wet foods because he's all wet I wonder what his next miracle will be here's what the scientific evidence says about successful weight loss reduce calorie intake stay physically active and keep a food diary most weight reduction diets are strategies that get you to eat fewer calories keeping a food diary has been shown to improve weight loss and I think it's because people who write down everything they eat become more aware of what they're putting in their mouth and they eat fewer calories zombie meme number six the idea that we need to be detoxified these are the only science-based reasons to detoxify alcohol detox for alcoholics drug detox for addicts treatment of poison ingestion dialysis for kidney failure and chelation for heavy metal poisoning except in cases of poisoning the body doesn't need any help in handling toxins the liver and kidneys do a fine job by themselves toxins are constantly being ingested and they're also being constantly created in the body by metabolic processes the liver breaks down toxins and prepares them for excretion in bile or urine and they're eliminated here are some of the bogus detoxification treatments that are used in alternative medicine colon cleansing infrared saunas foot pads and foot baths Gerson Therapy oil pulling Scientology's purification rundown chelation maple syrup cayenne pepper and lemon juice removal of dental fillings now none of these will do you any good and some of them are likely to harm you have you seen these detox foot baths the water turns brown and they tell you it's the toxins coming out through the skin of your feet it's not toxins it's rust it's a process of electrolysis that removes ions from the metal electrodes if you run the Machine without putting your feet in it you'll see the same color change have you seen ads for those detox footpads konoka is the best-known brand you leave these pads on your feet overnight and in the morning they've turned brown and supposedly the color change means that toxins have been removed from your feet but guess what they also turn brown if they're exposed to moisture without any skin contact zombie meme number seven retained feces are poisoning you the mantra is death begins in the colon almost every disease has been attributed to poisons observed from the intestine they say that decaying fermentation and putrefaction in the colon are released into the blood poisoning the entire body this process is sometimes called Auto intoxication there's a long history of people being overly concerned about bowel function and constipation those worries date back as far as ancient Egypt a passage in the Ebers papyrus suggests that undigested food produces poisonous substances that overflow into the body and initiate putrefaction in vital organs the auto intoxication myth was discredited by science early in the 20th century but it persists as a popular belief Heather Mills tells us did you know that when you eat meat it stays in your gut for 40 years putrefies and leads to a disease that killed you others tell us over a period of years of faulty diet the walls of the large intestine become coated with a thick layer of mucus and impacted food the average North American is carrying around nine to twelve pounds of impacted fecal material some people claim there are accretions of five year old hamburger stuck to the colon wall now none of that can possibly be true even in part doctors are constantly looking inside the colon surgeons radiologists gastroenterologist doing endoscopy and pathologist doing autopsies no doctor has ever seen any such accretions and we know that the cells lining the colon are constantly being replaced every few days so if anything were stuck to the wall of the coal and it would fall off as the old cells left off nevertheless people who believe this rot subject themselves to colon irrigation also known as high colonics or colon hydrotherapy often in one of these spa like the spa-like facilities it's like an enema but with much more water it can cause side effects like cramping bloating nausea and vomiting it can be dangerous due to perforation dehydration infection electrolyte imbalance and removal of normal colon bacteria there have been reports of kidney failure pelvic abscesses perineal gangrene septicemia acute water intoxication and deaths from amoeba infection transmitted by improperly cleaned equipment there is no medical reason for colon cleansing except as a bowel prep for surgery imaging procedures or colonoscopy and colon irrigation is not used for those bowel preps then there's coffee enemas said to be an important part of any detox they say it stimulates the liver to excrete toxins in the bile they say the caffeine is absorbed but claimed it doesn't cause caffeine side-effects which doesn't make any sense because once the caffeine is in your bloodstream it can't remember how it got there and it can't act any differently coffee enemas are used for everything from general well-being to treatment of cancer people take four to ten enemas a day it requires boiling the coffee for 15 minutes lying on the floor for 15 to 30 minutes after the enema before excretion and that's a huge investment of time for something that has never been shown to do any good there are even special coffees sold for the purpose if Starbucks were selling it they could call it Starbucks twice daily coffee enemas are part of the Gonzalez regimen promoted as a treatment for cancer patients also take free dried pancreatic enzymes nutrition your nutritional supplements 130 to 160 doses a day a special diet of organic foods preparing fresh juices many times a day skin brushing daily and liver flushes the Gonzalez regimen has been tested and it doesn't work I'll be coming back to it and lecture 10 so enough about zombies now for some more odds and ends that reminds me of the old joke about the psychiatrist and the proctologist who decided to open an office together and they couldn't decide whether to call it nuts and butts queers and rears or odds and ends one of the oddest alternative health beliefs is breatharianism this is prophet Johnny he's 83 years old he claims to have lived without food for seven decades surviving on universal life force energy alone the Indian Army is studying him because they want to teach their troops to go without food they are so invested in believing his lie that they're not bothering to provide constant 24-hour surveillance to make sure he's not cheating the broth Aryan fad has come to the u.s. this woman tells us that the starving of the world would be just fine if they could only be reprogrammed they'd starve to death because the mass media has tricked them into thinking they need food did you realize you were being tricked by the mess the mass media you don't need food you can live on light through the holy breath or prana or something yep you can live on it until you die which will happen a lot sooner if you don't eat wouldn't it be nice if you could remove all stones without surgery so called liver flushes claim to do just that they use a variety of ingredients mainly olive oil you drink the flush solution and these objects appear in your stool but the green objects not the quarter that's just there to show the scale these are not gall stones they're soapstone produced by the action of digestive juices on large volumes of olive oil here's another odd belief ear candles a conical hollow cylinder coated with wax is inserted into the ear canal and lit it supposedly removes wax buildup from the ear canal after a treatment that candle remnants are opened to show that they contain debris like this patients are told that this is the earwax that the candle removed by creating a suction it isn't skeptics tried burning the candles without inserting them in the ear they found the same debris it comes from the candle itself not from the ear canal some ear canler's have wised up enough to stop claiming that it removes wax but they still claim it's a holistic way of treating earrings it's also sold as a relaxation technique and it allegedly provides a whole laundry list of other health benefits ear candles have been banned by the FDA because they serve no medical purpose and they're risky there have been reports of burns perforated eardrums complications requiring surgery fires and at least one death longevity clinics are springing up

just like on a flat Pan and the chocolate chip fell perfectly where Mickey's nose would be I'm like how did that happen I just put I just poured the batter in there this is our setup this morning Daisy did I just give that to you without a fork silly Jamesy look at this Mickey Mouse so good oh gosh still yummy it is beautiful out it is so Sunny there is not a cloud it is chilly but not as cold as it's been and we might have to go on a walk later it is so nice I'm going to the eye doctor I actually have two appointments today I'm seeing the dermatologist a little bit later um but the eye doctor squeezed me in so fingers crossed that can give me like contacts of my prescription without the astigmatism I know they said that like that's what made it hard um I do have a really strong um prescription but I just talked to the person like at the desk and maybe the doctor will say I can take a sample just to like get through these next few days while we order contacts I'm hoping that and maybe they can help me um fix nice like give me a little screw and get my um the arm of my glasses back on foreign [Music] we have a new intriguing cartoon to watch there's like a Halloween themed Shrek cartoon episodes they're fairly long they're like 30 minutes long and James's entranced not sure if we said yesterday that we did ask our pediatrician about his naps because he's been fighting us on his nap during the day and she was like honestly as long as he's getting like quiet time or like an arrest then that's good as long as it's not detrimental to his nighttime sleep so we're going in and doing like attempting to get him to sleep for an hour and sometimes he falls asleep most time the past two weeks he hasn't been but he's been resting Teddy though he is destroying a nap today he's been is it an hour and a half usually he's like a 40 minuteer at a time every like two hours um this is an hour and a half so he's probably grown or about to pop some more teeth or something Sarah's going to the optometrist to get an appointment and then order some new contacts because she done Buster her last right eyes she's got a lot going on in her eyeballs so the Kurt her contacts her oh I just dropped the spoon in the soup for James which is the worst the absolute worst when you drop the spoon in the soup [Music] hooray I have left the doctor with contacts they're like slightly off but they're like this this will just get you by and then I got your supply that are going to be sent straight to my house I will not even have to go back this this all transpired so quickly yesterday morning was when I ripped the contact I didn't even have like my yearly exam scheduled um so it's great this was like unintentionally super productive so while we were in Disney we went to Japan Pavilion and got Grant a bunch of snacks we kept some for us because Peter went like to town and was like what what we can enjoy some too this is I don't know if I'm gonna make it for real or I think he's just gonna eat the bits and pieces okay so we just mixed this ice cream oh gosh we made mess y just eaten the Wafers because why not hello really good I'm gonna add some sprinkles

popcorn and I'm gonna have to go again soon excuse me yeah geez um because I actually have a dermatologist appointment this evening if you are new here or if you just need a friendly reminder Teddy just kissed my head oh gosh you gonna get me thank you he says to me every six months I go to the dermatologist to get like a full body skin check um that is because my family history my dad passed away from melanoma cancer holy smokes like a long time ago it's crazy how long it's been now 2012. um and February is actually the anniversary of him passing away February 27th so this month is always kind of heavy but also um all the better reason to remind you to even if you don't have a family history if you have no reason to just like go get your skin checked it's like such an important piece of our body it's our largest organ um and yeah you never know you know what what a doctor might say that was like my childhood popcorn bowl my childhood popcorn bowl smells tasty um you just never know what could be going on so um yeah I get my skin checked make sure everything looks good sometimes sometimes I'll have something removed or sometimes I'll get something checked um so yeah we'll see how it goes usually it's pretty chill but it's just every six months I like to share that I'm going and to remind you to just think about going make an appointment um find a doctor and get your get your skin checked change of plan I'm taking these guys we're gonna drop mom off at the doctor and then we're gonna go shopping at Mariano's all right we made it in the store with two babies that are awake they were they were getting ready to drop I was very nervous they were gonna fall asleep because he did not nap so now that we're in we're in okay Peter these are cotton candy Skies okay I'm walking over at Mariano's to meet up with the boys to the grocery shop my appointment went well I didn't have to get anything removed everything cleared out they say I could go every year um like just once a year but my nerve is hard just like the every six months um but also like if I if I'm ever concerned I can just call and go in and doesn't I don't have to wait until that Mark um but it was really thorough she even like made me take my my braid out and like look through my hair it was a good appointment um and I'll be going back in August foreign found us and we're just like stalling we just like keep going like five feet in this like International Tile and just want to look at every single item on every single shelf James I don't think we've said it but James had a little run-in with his bed at home but we are getting ready to check out all right we are done sir actually running downstairs to see what kind of sushi they have made on the first floor because we only went to the second it was more than more groceries than I expected we'd get but less cost than I expected they've never really shopped in my house before oh come on that's drama was I had a hankering for some craft mac and cheese so we got some who is ready for a very quick Mariano's haul so these were actually last minute buys from Jewel after we got home these were on sale for 1.99 they must have ordered too many and Peter got butter I don't remember the last time I had Kraft mac and cheese and it's just such like a comfort food for me and we were gonna just use what we had home and Peter's like but if you're like really craving it let's just get the real deal um and it was worth it so we have that and we actually had a little bit of sushi for Mariano's we had that um Peter and I both have had like that pitch black and the energy drinks and were truly just like raining in it and I know we've said it a gazillion times but I do think every time we get a little bit closer to like being you know fully invested in our you know decision to keep up with their activity and to try to like basically our our goal is to limit processed foods we're not doing like Whole30 or anything like that and I know I know I say that a lot but I just want it to be out there that we truly are like we are being intentional and even though we we are so so far from like hitting our goals like this like this feels really good like where we are with our routine and where we are mentally it feels good and so that is that's good for us oh he got two of these um really quick we have some blueberries some guacamole Tomatoes a lot of this is produce kind of in the back um veggie broth this is also from Joel a bit of lemonade I'm kicking having pop in the house and energy drinks I have a bunch of tea that I love and is really good and I just think that I can always make things a little bit fancier with some lemonade so we got this fresh squeezed juice for that we have zucchinis we have cucumber we have apples and tomatoes what do we got here um some refried beans some diced jalapenos what are you some crushed tomatoes we have tofu pico de gallo and avocado I got these two little packages of seasoning these will make cooking at home super yummy but also like not as like have to put in as much effort and so it's kind of like a nice happy medium there um some hummus corn tortillas kombucha I'm trying their brand I'll see if I like it Peter got some Christmas wine on sale mushrooms broccoli flour tortillas Peppers spinach a little stir fry kit um two different types of pasta what are you rice noodles this little Frozen Skillet again like having quick things at the ready so that if we're not motivated to cook we still can cook easier things at home that are still you know yummy and nutritious and on our on our wavelength this little coleslaw bag brussels sprouts romaine hearts plant-based yogurt some black beans some diced tomatoes honey roasted almonds tomato paste this margarine garlic spread we've had before super super yummy strawberries and breakfast little cookies like Mariano's brand um Velveeta and then this chorizo plant-based sausage I I'm gonna do taste tests and see if Trader Joe's is truly Superior and then peanut butter I think that's all I know just before Christmas we did a haul from Trader Joe's that we wanted to compare the price to Aldi and I still want to do that I still have that list this was somewhat comparable of a list a bit more um it was kind of right on track with the prices at Trader Joe's if you've ever been to Mariano's it's a little bit like higher end groceries like a little bit more specialized like there's a whole cheese section A whole like olive bar like and then like the first floor is like all hot food like it is more of like a grocery experience and I would say shopping like not going up and down the aisles would be more cost effective there so they have really great deals especially if you're like a card member which is free we joined tonight we saved 15 on the spot um so yeah if you have ever gone to Mariano's it's a little bit overwhelming because there's like so much good stuff and you just want to buy everything and so I think we did a good job of writing it in um but also trying some new things and sticking to our new like the idea I have for our grocery shopping so basically Mondays I cook a bigger meal um typically something on a tortilla some sort of taco and then Tuesday leftovers we can make a bowl of some sort and then on Wednesdays I've been making some sort of like veggie stir fry in a sauce with a rice um and then again Leftovers on Thursday and then Friday making like yummy nutritional bowls um which is like it's kind of like loose all of it um it gives me a good a good like structure to base things off of but it's not like we're eating the same thing every week and then that helps me be motivated to cook because it's not an overwhelming task I have been eating um yogurt for my like bigger breakfast I put in oatmeal and I put in coconut and honey and fruit and so those are those yogurts are for me um Peter has done the spinach wraps for his lunches for like a tortilla and spinach and hummus and like veggies um and so we're gonna do a better job at trying to prep for those things so that again we remember um that we have these things ready in our pantry and so I think one of these nights we are going to like chop out Peppers so that they're just at the ready to snack on same thing with like cucumbers and things like that um and then I also wanted to point out we I I just wanted to have like super easy things that they're ready so like even chopping vegetables doesn't have to become an overwhelming test I know the perks of you know cooking from a whole fruit or vegetable um but on nights where I'd rather like use something that's pre-chopped or Frozen to like not order out or you know something of that nature I think that that was like another thing while we were shopping that I wanted to make sure that we were prepared for same thing with like having just like pasta we love a good simple pasta and um yeah that's that's another thing that like I try to always have in in our cabinets grocery shopped with this um dinner routine in mind and I would say it was pretty successful I do still want to see how much it would cost at Aldi um but that'll be for another day I hate a donut it doesn't appear into this tomorrow's Friday oh my gosh a little weird weird week sorry we did not get a good night's sleep last night [Applause] like four hours Yeah we actually slept on the couch because our baby monitors like service decided to do maintenance in the middle of the night so we couldn't we weren't gonna be able to hear the boys the baby that wakes up in the middle of night and slept in the room with them yeah and it's before 11 pm so this will be good tomorrow's Friday but it is supposed to be super cold here yeah like the low is zero which means the wind chill probably be like a negative 10. good meal good to be home we know what our goals are we know what we hope to accomplish and believe me it's the most exciting and challenging assignment we've ever tackled at Walt Disney Productions foreign [Applause] [Music] | The Brookhart Project | UCSKKMotKlbFMvrNUtKTZGMA | 2023-02-03 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

pGgGbZZdYOg | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGgGbZZdYOg | 6 Reasons Why You Are Still Single | Hi everyone , we at Psych2go would like to thank you for your continuous love and appreciation. It's your support that enables us to bring you quality content regarding all things psychology. Do you ever feel like everyone in your life is already in a relationship except you? Do you find yourself wondering why you still haven't found that special someone? Despite being such a good catch, you may be attractive, successful, charming or financially well-off. However, you still struggle to settle down. So, what are the circumstances in your life that might be keeping you from finding the right person for you? Here are six probable reasons why you're still single. 1. You don't have a sense of identity. Do you find it hard to find a partner or make your relationships last? It may be because you don't really know yourself well enough. If you're still unsure of who you are or what you want in life, it'll be harder for you to know what you want in a partner. Do you search for love as a way to fill the emptiness you feel inside of yourself, mistakenly believing that being in a relationship will make you whole? The truth is you can be in a relationship and still feel lonely. That emptiness you're struggling with is likely due to being disconnected and isolated from yourself, not from others. Renowned psychologist Erik Erikson even believed that without a secure sense of identity, it would be extremely difficult to form a healthy relationship with someone else. Do you feel this is the case for you? 2. You have unrealistic standards. Knowing your own worth and respecting yourself enough not to settle for less than what you deserve is definitely a good thing. However, you should be careful not to set the bar too high for anyone to climb. Are you asking too much from your potential partners? If you've been searching for that special someone for a long time now and no one even comes close, There's a possibility that your idea of a perfect partner simply doesn't exist. Nobody is going to have all the same interests and passions as you or immediately know what to do or how to act around you. Movies and books can often give us unrealistic expectations about love and romance Seeing all those perfect relationships on social media may also make it hard for you to settle down. On the surface, everything seems great and effortlessly easy. But in reality, it takes a lot of dedication from both parties to make a relationship work, and sometimes you may fall for someone you least expect. 3. You're still heartbroken. Are you thinking of dating someone new even though you're still hung up on your ex? You might think that getting over someone means finding a replacement for them, but rushing into things is never a good idea. This is why rebound relationships don't often work out. No matter how much time has passed, whether it's been weeks, months or even years, you shouldn't be looking for a new partner yet if you're still nursing a broken heart from your last failed romance. Instead allow yourself all the time you need to heal and truly let that person go. It may do you some good to get comfortable with being single for a while, before you put your heart on the line again. After all, recovering from a breakup can lead to tremendous self growth and improved quality of life. 4. You're afraid of commitment. According to Robert Sternberg's famous triarchic theory of love, commitments and intimacy are fundamental elements of a lasting relationship, along with passion. Do you only want the thrill and excitement of new love and don't think you're ready to be in a serious relationship quite yet? It's okay to be afraid of commitment, but it's better to understand why. Is it because you're scared to be vulnerable and open yourself up to others, or is it because you don't want to feel trapped in a relationship with someone else? Are you afraid of rejection and abandonment, so you leave to deny other people a chance to leave you? Or, do you simply not believe that a relationship is meant to last? Until you figure yourself out first and understand why it is you're so afraid of commitment, you'll only continue to drive people away and never move forward from the courtship stage of dating. 5. You don't have time to date. Another reason why you might be struggling in your search for romance is that you're simply too busy to be dating right now, whether it's your career, your academics or your personal life taking up a lot of your time, it can be hard for you to find someone when you're preoccupied with so many other things at the moment. It's perfectly fine if being in a relationship is not one of your priorities right now, especially if you're still young. Nonetheless, if you're really serious about wanting to settle down with someone already, then you should make a few adjustments to your schedule. Finally, you're single by choice. Do you value your independence and don't want to be tied down yet? Do you want to focus on other aspects of your life first? Maybe you're still sorting out your own issues and trying to navigate your way through life. That's okay. Whatever your reason may be, it's good to be honest with yourself about what it is you want and don't want. You don't need a relationship to be happy; take everything at your own pace. At the end of the day a relationship is a want, not a need; and you should want it for the right reasons. If you want someone to save you or take care of you or you're not happy with yourself in your life, rushing into a relationship is not the answer. On the other hand, if you're too busy with your career, still pining over someone else or dating too aggressively, you won't attract the right kind of people. Once you understand why it is you're still single and what you can do about it, only then can you start to connect better with other people. This makes it easier for you to find someone who's a good match for you, fall in love with them, and make your relationship last. Do you resonate with the reasons explained in this video?

BQ51T9fexuQ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ51T9fexuQ | Enhanced Abattoir Surveillance – grass seeds | [Music] Hi I'm Dr Mary Carr, Chief Veterinary Officer of South Australia and I'm pleased to welcome you to the Red Meat and Wool Growth Program production brought to you by the Department of Primary Industries and Regions, Livestock SA, Animal Health Australia and the University of Adelaide. Today we are exploring the Enhanced Abattoir Surveillance program with a focus on grass seeds. Enhanced Abattoir Surveillance tracks the health conditions of sheep found at the abattoir. These findings are provided to producers to assist with planning around prevention and management of prevalent animal health conditions. Grass seeds lesions is a condition that come and goes in South Australian abattoirs according to the region of origin and according to the season. Over the last three years, 1 in 10 properties in South Australia submitted sheep with grass seeds, and 1 in 30 consignment had reported cases. At the animal level approximately, 1 in 60 slaughtered sheep would have grass seeds. Since the late 2000's, we had an increase in grass seed frequency at the abattoir with a peak in 2012-13. Since then we observe a very strong but steady decrease in finding grass seeds at the abattoir, suggesting that we have a very good management of this condition within the state. Grass seeds is very property and mob specific. Within an affected mob, you can find on average 2 out of 5 sheep having grass seed lesions. Grass seed is also very clustered within the greater southeast region. And has a very strong seasonality where you're going to find most of the grass seed cases during the summer and autumn seasons. Grass seed contamination of the carcass is very common in South Australia. For that matter nationally it represents something like $50million a year annual loss to the sheep industry. Associated with a number of different grasses. It can be speargrass, brown grass, barley grass, silver grass. Wild geranium, a chilean needle grass. There's a whole lot of different penetrating grass seeds that can cause problems. So what happens is the grass seeds lodge in the wool and within a day or two they've worked themselves in through the lining of the skin and result in a significant irritation. Little as 25 grass seeds can cause a significant production loss. Apart from causing significant irritation and so it's probably a bit like us having a toothache or a headache, that puts the animal off grazing or eating and so they can once again lose several kilograms in growth rate over time. Grass seeds often also cause infections to track in with the grass seed through the skin. So you end up with abscesses. Probably not dissimilar to, for example cheesy gland, but some of those abscesses may appear different because it's an infection associated with grass seeds. The primary welfare issue is that as little as 25 grass seeds per sheep can cause significant irritation pain discomfort and suffering. If they keep penetrating they can also cause internal abscesses as well. That's why we see a lot of production loss and of course it also results in significant carcass trimming when those animals go to slaughter. Some ways they're a bit like cheesy gland in that inapparent infection most of the time. You might see the lambs or for that matter adult sheep showing discomfort. It's not generally something that people pick up on, in that, it causes significant irritation/rubbing. So you may see the animals have chewed their wool or rubbed and which would normally be associated with a lice infestation but it could be grass seeds. Producers should recognise if a paddock is seedy. A lot of grass seeds around if livestock are in that paddock, and two, I guess the feedback from the abattoirs. So sometimes people will send off a ute load of lambs for example for a sample slaughtering to see if there's any evidence of grass seeds. And that will determine whether they can then send off a larger consignment. That sample consignment may be the first way it might be recognised. Grass seeds presents on the carcass always on the outside and they range from minor grass seeds to infected grass seeds, which is considered a pathological condition. For the process of the impact of grass seeds is that they have to severely trim all the outside of the carcass which basically ruins nearly all of the primal cuts that they're going to try and recover. For the producer the impact on this carcass is that he will get less weight over the scales because of the heavy trimming. The carcass will be downgraded so he won't get paid the premium price for it. The inspectors are trained to look for the presence of grass seeds and in particular infected grass seeds all of which go onto the retain veil to be trimmed out before it goes over the scales. Our experience with grass seeds on this property is that they can be an issue every year if you're not vigilant on what you do. So we've employed a lot of different tactics to try and beat grass seeds. We do a lot of physical slashing, We try and shear at seed drop and manage lambs so they're not on seed when it's flying. Because that period for us of eight weeks from seed drop through to just after christmas, are murder on lambs. So unless you're really vigilant you can have issues. We haven't had issues here for 20 years but it's certainly come up in the Enhanced Abattoir Surveillance prior to that. The underlying condition of cost in seed infiltration in the sheep's carcass can be as high as $25-$30 dollars ahead, depending on the weight of your carcass. Yeah, that's painful when you think you're sending off clean lambs. There are a range of management options for dealing with grass seeds. It may be a case of heavy grazing before seed set, for example, typically barley grass or silver grass, doesn't have a chance to set seed. So you're reducing the risk that way. It may be just a case of avoiding seedy paddocks. Where we do know that there's a lot of of the common grasses present. Otherwise you may change your management to lamb earlier so that the lambs can be turned off before grass seeds become a problem. So for example you may be turning your lambs off in September, early October, before grass seeds become an issue. The next step is perhaps talking to your agronomists and looking at herbicides to control grass seeds, by spraying it out. Preventing grass seed set. You can also look at fertiliser regimes, where you're encouraging the more productive non-seedy grasses to get a better foothold in the paddock. That might be including perennials, if you've got that option. In terms of treatment there's really no no options for grass seeds. As I say often it's an inapparent infection, because it's covered by the wool. You won't see it until the skin and the wool is taken off and you'll see the grass seeds penetrating the carcass. You might see some micro abscessation or abscesses in the skin but really there's little point in an antibiotic treatment at that stage, because it's already too late. Having grass seed infestation in livestock is is not very nice and certainly dealing with it afterwards is not nice either. Having to shear bellies and jowls off sheep that are just absolutely loaded with seed is not much fun and it's certainly not much fun for the lamb or sheep either. Between 2007 and 2021, the Department of Primary Industries and Regions managed the enhanced abattoir surveillance program at Lobethal and Murray Bridge, with funding from the state and national Sheep Industry Funds and national industry funding from Meat and Livestock Australia. It was the EAS program that provided producers with the feedback discussed in this video. Although EAS monitoring has ceased there are plans in place to transition to entering South Australian data into the national system. This national data can inform the development and funding of appropriate industry and government initiatives on the ground to better support South Australian producers to reduce losses caused by unnecessary carcass trimming and to take advantage of premium markets. To assist producers, Animal Health Australia has partnered with PIRSA to creat the Sheep Health Conditions - Carcass Impacts tool. A 3d digital tool designed to show the industry what 6 common conditions look like on a carcass, and give them an idea of how much trim may occur at the processor. Livestock SA encourages all producers to talk to their processors about what carcass and disease and condition data they can access from their consignments. Thanks for watching. We hope you have learned more about grass seeds and the importance of managing sheep health with the help of Enhanced Abattoir Surveillance. To find out more or get support with your business, contact your local animal health advisor from the Department of Primary Industries and Regions, or the South Australian livestock biosecurity extension team through the Livestock SA office. The Red Meat and Wool Growth Program is an initiative of the Government of South Australia and supported by Meat and Livestock Australia, the South Australian Sheep and Cattle Industry Funds and Sheep Connect SA.

gDDyrBWFvOY | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDDyrBWFvOY | What’s The Difference Between Bronchitis And Pneumonia? - Franciscan Health Podcast | if you're like me you've often wondered if bronchitis and pneumonia are basically the same thing well I'm joined today by Dr Omar oo Aris he's a board certified Family Medicine physician at Franciscan Health and he's going to answer that question and many more about bronchitis and pneumonia this is The Franciscan Health dock pod I'm Scott Webb dror thanks so much for your time today I've always wanted to ask an expert if bronchitis and pneumonia are the same thing like in my head I sort of feel like they are at least similar if not the same thing but I've got an expert on the line so are bronchitis and pneumonia the same thing they're not they're definitely not they affect different areas of our Airways sometimes they can feel similar for some people but for most people I'd say that they're not pneumonia you'll feel a lot sicker basically all right so yeah so they're not the same thing pneumonia you're going to probably feel worse let's talk about the symptoms because there are some similarities of course so maybe there's some overlapping of symptoms but what are the symptoms for each a good way of seeing it is bronchitis is like you're having a cold but instead of on your like face sinuses it's like a cold on your chest so you're going to have a lot of cough with flame you might have some fevers but it's mostly cough what's most bothersome for people and you might have some cold symptoms you know runny nose congestion stuff like that in pneumonia you're also going to have a cough but you're going to be much sicker you're going to have fever chills you might even get out of breath you might feel winded you might even get chest pain you're going to feel a lot sicker yeah I see what you mean and you and I were discussing before we got Roland here about exactly when should someone go to maybe urgent care or the Ed or to their primary provider so let's talk through that then you know do folks need to go for bronchitis when we're thinking about one versus the other or both in general when should folks reach out and see a provider or you know go to the emergency department something like that yes so that's a very good question very important point so first of all you need to know what is your health status are you a healthy person do you have any lung disease now lung disease that would be stuff like are you a smoker do you have smoker's lung COPD do you have asthma any issues with your lungs do you have any conditions that make your immune system weaker like cancer are you any strong medications for autoimmune diseases if you do have lung disease or a weak immune system then basically your threshold to contact a provider should be a little bit lower so what this means is that if you have any lung disease weaken immune system and you're getting some fevers shortness of breath you should definitely contact your provider as soon as possible or possibly even go to the Ed but if you're just a healthy person that usually you don't have any medical issues or anything I would probably contact your provider first okay yeah yeah I see what you mean and that kind of leads into my next question I want to ask you about you basically are some folks at higher risk right so it sounds like some folks are at higher risk risk or maybe not higher risk for bronchitis and pneumonia but higher risk for those things like pneumonia to get really bad for them because of their other you know comorbidities right yes so there are several things that can make you be at higher risk of having pneumonia these things are again lung disease the smoker's lung asthma also actually people that drink alcohol regularly and just people that smoke period that can put you at risk of having pneumonia people that have multiple chronic conditions such as diabetes and obesity are also at risk of pneumonia yeah so some folks are at higher risk of course and some of those things we can control like smoking some things we can't maybe family history if that's any sort of factor in here what are the actual causes of bronchitis and pneumonia is it like catching a cold or the flu or something like that how do we get each of them yeah so bronchitis the most common cause is just viral illnesses this is very similar to the same causes of of a cold you probably caught it from somebody or maybe from your kid parents family friends it's just a cold on your chest for pneumonia it's a little bit different in pneumonia again it's more of if you have conditions that can predispose you to have a pneumonia then you can maybe catch it from somebody that maybe didn't have symptoms so bronchitis like really anybody can get it but a pneumonia more like sicker people are more likely to get it I see what you mean we're Maybe you know compromised we're already maybe not that well to begin with so we're more likely to get pneumonia so let's say that we've been diagnosed with bronchitis which sounds more like just a cold that'll run its course but specifically pneumonia how do you treat pneumonia all right so pneumonia is more of a seriously pneumonia you will need antibiotics and if you're getting short of breath or you're feeling significantly worse you might even end up needing to go to the hospital you might need some breathing treatment yeah let's talk a little bit more about that because say you know I've heard uh stories cases anecdotally maybe at best but certainly folks passing away from pneumonia so it sounds like something that can be treated but when we think about how serious this can be or the sort of complications of untreated pneumonia you know what happens is it that they're just not seeking uh Medical Care early enough or is it because of their other pre-existing conditions and the pneumonia it's difficult to treat maybe you can explain like how do people pass away from pneumonia yeah so complications so pneumonia is again it's an infection of of the lungs it's usually a bacterial infection of the lungs the issue with pneumonia when it's not treated or not treated well is that it can cause actual abscesses of the lung which are harder to treat and more than anything you can have what's called sepsis a bloodstream infection the infection can go from the lungs to the bloodstream and that is something that has a high mortality especially if you have other uh conditions I think the issue with the pneumonia is more as you said if somebody already has pre-existing conditions their body will have a harder time to clear from the pneumonia and that's probably what will cause like the complications yeah uh complications for sure and so it's definitely something we want to have treated right so you know bronchitis as you're saying sort of a chest cold if you will but pneumonia if you're at higher risk and you're having the symptoms that you've described today doctor it's time to reach out to a provider if they're really bad you know probably go to the Ed but what are the things that we can do to treat these things on our own to make us feel better when we've got bronchitis to perhaps help with pneumonia what can we do to help ourselves I guess all right for both one of the things we can do is if there's anybody smoking in the house please tell them to smoke out of the house exposure to smoke or environmental toxins were worse in both if your job has exposure to fume such as a construction work engineering plants you should likely get a reasonable accommodation from that to avoid getting that exposure because it'll worsen your symptoms so that is something that's you know under your control that you can maybe work on that yeah so some things we can do of course as I said this has been really educational today just want to give you a chance here at the end final thoughts takeaways you know I was explaining to you like who listens to these things and why they listen and my goal is always obviously for me to learn for listeners to learn and also then really to encourage folks to reach out to their providers or go to the Ed if it's that serious so in your words final thoughts takeaways about how do we do that how do we get folks who aren't feeling well to go to the doctor so it's important to know when is it best to go to the doctor but also when you maybe don't need to go to the doctor so if you're healthy and you're starting to get a cold or you're starting to get a this bad cough with some fevers please you don't need to go to the doctor wait it out wait at least for one week if you start getting worse or you don't get better after about a week contact your doctor you don't even need to see the doctor directly because a lot of times the treatments for these things are treatments you can can get at a pharmacy okay your own body will usually clear itself from these kinds of conditions however if you do have lung disease again smoker's lung COPD asthma and you do start getting this cough you should definitely contact your provider because you might benefit from some prescribed treatment and of course if if you develop any chills shortness of breath feeling winded chest pains then you should go to the ER especially if you have pre-existing lung disease asthma or cancer any conditions that weaken your immune system yeah hopefully listeners had the same reaction that I did today which is this is good information and good inspiration if we're not feeling well and we have those conditions so doctor thanks so much you stay well absolutely thanks for your time thanks for having me and for more information visit franciscanhealth.org and search bronchitis and

-ZNEzzDcllU | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZNEzzDcllU | Demonstrating Quantum Supremacy | the tantalizing promise of quantum computers is that they can do certain tasks exponentially faster than classical machines and the quantum supremacy experiment is proof sets is indeed the case [Music] the word quantum computer is a little bit misleading because it sounds like a computer and when people think of computer they think of a phone or a laptop the truth is the phone and the laptop and even a very powerful supercomputer all operate according to the same fundamental rules and a quantum computer is fundamentally different the classical bit stores information as a zero or one and a quantum bit can be both zero and one at the same time if you have two quantum bits then there are four possible states that you can put in superposition with three cubits that's eight four cubits at 16 but grows exponentially the nice thing about quantum supremacy is that is this a very well-defined engineering milestone in a nut cell what we're trying to do is we're trying to so that experimental quantum computers can surpass the best supercomputers in the world to actually demonstrate quantum supremacy we have these three steps first pick a circuit second run it on the quantum computer third simulate what the quantum computer is doing on a classical computer we gradually increase the complexity of that circuit at some point it becomes completely impossible for the classical computer to keep up then we say we've achieved quantum supremacy we started building together in the quantum chips to do this experiment and then the evolution of the devices worth more and more qubits and more and more complexity it's very much an iterative process a lot of the work that we put in was not just these chips but is also the infrastructure that you need to drive those chips the cryostats that we install them in all of the control electronics software all of this stuff is needed and it all has to be developed when the experiment is started we're getting data from the experimental ease we saw initially a beautiful straight line corresponding to predictions then right before we hit supremacy they it's dropped much faster and it fell below the threshold and there's nothing we can do because we don't know how to analyze past that so everyone's like oh we're screwed because it's just it's getting really really bad at large number of qubits it's like well maybe there's some really complex interaction between all the qubits it turned out that the reason was Rosalina and we calibrated a little bit better runs and does this problem disappeared so there wasn't like uh-oh we did it I think we crossed it and then it wasn't clear that we crossed it so we crossed it a little bit further it took me like a day to realize like hold on you know this is actually experimental later it's kind of amazing to see you know how well the theory works the processes that achieved acronym supremacy is called the Sycamore processor and it's parallel processing to to the 53 States which is 10 million billion and thus that enormous amount of parallel processing is what gives it the power when we run as small chunks of the computation is the largest supercommittee in the world our estimate is that it will take thousands of years to complete the full computation technologies are born this way let's say the Space Age started was satellite orbiting Earth and was not doing much it was just beeping the big technical achievement of quantum supremacy was really dependent on all this young talent who's kind of taken this and gotten it to work at a very technologically capable level we have reached a new computational capability there are certain computations the only place in the world where you can compute those things is you know a data center at Google Santa Barbara for the first time we're showing that we can solve a problem that is just infeasible to do on the biggest computers ever made by civilization and what's exciting is now we're ready to turn this over to the world and say let's figure out what we can do with this the thing that excites me most is building a useful quantum computer when we can give a researcher a tool but is unlike any other and say great figure out something cool to do with it mankind is pretty good at that you [Applause] | Google | UCK8sQmJBp8GCxrOtXWBpyEA | 2019-10-23 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 754 | 4,257 |
GUT8e4Lef1U | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUT8e4Lef1U | TTT#339 Youth Converts Culture with Beth Sanders and Daniel Whitt | welcome to teachers teaching teachers it is the 6th of March uh 2013 and we are uh converting youth culture tonight uh youth converts culture um and uh and we have the sponsors the founders the uh uh creators of of that project which I think it was a would you call it a summer camp um or time with students definitely how it manifested itself first in the public eye yes um we started from um basically I I presented to Alabama leadership class a video called I'm human a couple years ago or year and a half ago and from that um it went really well and then Kathy gassenheimer here in Alabama connected Beth and me and uh we hit it off right away um and haven't stopped haven't slowed down since and we developed youth converts culture directly after that so great thank you that was Daniel Whit Daniel um do you wanna Monica I I don't um feel free to you know interrupt me here as we do introductions but um Monica has invited uh these folks um and you'll have to tell about your connections a little bit but Daniel go ahead and um introduce yourself a little bit more okay um so I'm Daniel Wht I'm 32 I live in actually live in Athens Alabama which is all the way at the top I teach in Madison City schools which is uh basically a suburb of the Huntsville area so Beth and I are actually almost two hours apart and so we we keep this thing alive online I mean just all the time we we meet together less than once a month um but we keep it alive and then Jonathan's another two hours away from us so we kind of form a two-hour triangle um and uh I teach right now I teach one block of broadcast journalism at my school and then right after that I co- te a um a multimedia design class and then I'm a digital multimedia uh I'm sorry a digital media specialist the rest of the day so um I'm not a librarian I'm not focused I'm not censored in the library but I I handle all digital it's a brand new school we just opened this year so it's super high-tech and so I'm responsible for all things electronic and digital inside that building which keeps me busy um what's the name of the schore the focus or uh the name of the school is James Clemens High School it took half of Bob Jones which you may or may not have heard of um and it is uh I mean it is Alabama's best shot at a 21st Century High School um and it's and it's going pretty well what we find is it's not about the tools it's not about the tech it's about the mindset of the people inside the building and so that's what we really battle all day every day is is that mindset right cool great introduction thank you um Beth do you want to introduce yourself you were on one other time but um yeah and and at that time we said we need to get back to find out more about youth converts culture um and uh finally we're getting here so thank you for coming on awesome um Beth Sanders since Daniel said his age I'll say my age um I'm 26 uh I teach I'm not going to by the way te um social studies I teach n9th and 11th grade at tant high school we are um nestled in Burmingham we are 99% free introduced lunch we are also a onetoone Macbook and iTouch school um in my third year of teaching and uh believe strongly in passion based learning inquiry based learning um creation based learning not even so much project but just like the idea of creating um and that can be creating something that's written or some huge Masterpiece but um I'm finding that creation makes more sense to me than project um have 140 students uh we are paperless and we move a lot and how many students again did you say I have 140 students between oh you personally do okay yeah and um we um I I guess that's as far as my classroom goes we're I'm using Twitter as a Twitter is a really important tool right now for us to kind of be Global and locally connected so our our student my students hashtag is Sanders THS um so I'm kind of Daniel and I are both really exploring the power of social media to empower genuine student voice um his his classroom's hashtag is Jets press um I'm also a technology consultant for Alabama best practices Center and doing some digital organizing with idea which is how Monica and I were initially linked um and I think that's and then youth converts culture is a large part portion of where uh Daniel and I are kind of just trying to figure out how to we we're kind of saying now you know our thing has kind of been for a while Bridging the Gap between technology and Humanity um we are strong advocates for empathy um in the classroom and in the world and we are strong advocates for what we call technology equality so uh arguing that access is a survival need for people of our world so and by access we mean access to a digital device and to a Wi-Fi connection and um to each other so that's kind of my blur um I had a question from the chat room Beth um what school do you teach at again it's tarant High School t a r r a ant and it's in Birmingham Alabama great ow welcome back um but uh introduce yourself if you would what to rec Al Eliot uh I'm a fifth grade educator at uh Green Valley Elementary School in Hoover Alabama I'm a graduate student uh at uh UAB I'm in the uh PhD program Early Childhood um I uh I started this uh Monday Eve discussion concept which basically in short I invented a holiday uh the first Monday of every month I think should be looked upon as the time for teachers to enter into the classroom energetic and ready to try something new that they've learned with their kids and so to help celebrate that holiday on the eve of that Monday uh we all meet up and have a discussion a Monday Eve discussion Paul was uh he was gracious enough to uh bless us with his presence in it um and so that's that's that's kind of um what I'm trying to do I'm a technology Enthusiast um and pretty much my my dissertation is basically um discovering uh the best ways to integrate technology in the early childhood Elementary setting so I have genuine interest in it uh that's kind of my passion and I'm happy to be here great Monica do you want to jump in sure um Monica party in wand Colorado um where we are experimenting with the intersection of city and school met Beth um in Vermont in the fall um at idea Camp um I'm part of the organizing team for IDC which is the conference that will be in at CU Boulder August 4th through 8th um just blown away by her energy and um ask them to join us this week because they just returned from um sharing a lot of what they're doing at Harvard so and so I've because of that um met Daniel and um happy to to meet you as well Al nice to meet you too Chris fin my name is Chris Sloan and I uh teach high school media and English at Judge Memorial in Salt Lake City Utah so not kind of me in a nutshell were you going to tell us your age oh uh I'm still 51 so although 52 is on the horizon here so how long have you been 51 no just just so take taking that joke and and to a serious uh serious question here um the other day I was describing how um we're I'm sometimes concerned about how many when we look down at the bottom of our our screen um how many of us are over 50 right or or of the older generation and and maybe that's just because that's who we know kind of thing and that's what happens you know who knows how that happens but um and what I said at the time to the first to the person sitting at the table with me was was uh you know it' be nice to have uh some of the younger teachers on too to talk about and and kind of share those perspectives so I was just wondering um Beth and Daniel do you think there is a different perspective between those of us who are uh sort of a little older and younger teachers or how do you see that jam out since Daniel since you you started it by saying your name your age there yeah I know yeah I should gone there huh it's it's interesting so the question is is there a different perspective based on age and generation here yeah well yeah I think so um I think there are those of us and those of you who stick with it and make a real Bonafide effort to to um focus and and and pay attention to what's going on and empathize with our kids with our youth um to see where they're at where they live um and I say where they live because they live online so often um and so I do find that there's a gigantic generational chasm in fact I think inside Under One Roof there's often four very very different um Generations trying to coexist and trying to learn together so if you take um like my daughter Stella who's five you know she's um she's a mobile native she learned her alphabet and her colors and how to spell or site words on my iPhone driving to Mississippi and then you take the students I work with every day and maybe even Beth maybe even me um call us digital Natives and then I consider myself honestly a millennial somebody who kind of developed a moral code prior to the internet somebody who developed a a habit code prior to the internet uh and then sort of moved into it and then I guess some people call those digital immigrants and then we have um kind of everyone else and I don't know what to call those people um I've heard them referred to as traditional Learners which I don't really like um but you know at my at my high school I think I have all four of those represented trying to learn trying to teach all at one time and sometimes you know sometimes it's the policy maker down to the mobile native inside the same room um and so yeah I think it's I think it's a gigantic thing and it's it's the first time in human history we've ever had to cross that cap um I could talk Beth you want to talk more about the differences uh I think I I think that we both kind of have that same view but I I do think that it's it goes back to that thing Daniel and I have kind of been reflecting on where we're at post Harvard and Daniel R this really beautiful reflection I think on the plane um on the way back and we started out that summer camp with the question are you open so what I'm finding that breaks the age barrier that breaks the um generational barrier is that openness to adapt and um be aware of all those differences that Daniel just described and I think I think regardless of age if you're open to adapting to whatever works best and makes sense for the learner um of today then then I will jam with you forever absolutely and I I think um what there was there were three lines like openness is more important than intelligence awareness is more important than educ and I don't know what else I said empathy is more important than accreditation or something like that but that's what we're finding we're finding the people who can really hang with this complex generational Gap that we've got those people who really hang or those people who remain open on a day-to-day momentto moment basis it's the key and so you know if you if you set root in in a strategy if you lay down your roots with a technique or with an idea in your classroom then you've already lost um and so it's it's all about staying extremely transient it's all about um not attaching yourself to what you think works because what works today doesn't work tomorrow and if you're will on the age I'm I'm 40 years old uh so I don't know if I'm old yet or not but I I I think so um but but the whole thing like the term or the phrase digital native I remember a couple years ago in the class I heard I forgot who coined the phrase I know she wrote a book and kind of mentioned it uh but I I just think about like and and I'm only I'm using myself as an example I've always been like a nerd like I didn't just buy these glasses because I thought they were I've had them you know I'm a nerd for real I don't just look like one but I've always been into technology and so a digital native I think that some people that are that are older and are kind of staying the breast with what's going on it's not that they're saying AB breast with what's new they've always been interested in you know like I can remember having an email account and not having anybody to email because it was kind of like everybody else was like what are you doing and then I can remember when I first had a website I first had a Blog and I was trying to get people that I knew that were either my age or younger at the time to log on and read and they were still getting newspapers so to me like digital native a lot of the students that I have they've grown up with with devices and whatnot but they haven't really grown up applying them or using them as tools they've grown up using them as toys so like to me I all technology that I'm interested and most of the time is is a tool or a way to apply it and I think that a lot of older people any person at all if that's how you looking at the the devices or the computers or the tablets that you're using that's what keeps your interest the application I think a lot of times like if a teacher's given an iPad and they don't really know the application within the classroom it's not that they don't want to use it they don't know how to use it you know what I mean and and they really and and if they're not open to to agree with you then then they're not even interested in seeing how it can but most of the people that I've had contact with even if they're not digital natives or they're not of it once they understand the application of certain things they they are they become more open and and so I I think the the age difference I I think is more so older people are more practical and a lot of times I've seen people that have iPads and and and they're trying to do the needest thing they can do and not necessarily teach but they're trying to wow their kids like listen if you look through the iPad it look like a picture is over there floating in the air and I'm thinking well what are you teaching by wowing them with that or whatever so I think like the application piece kind of transcends the age a little bit I I think another word that I like for open is alive and I think we're in such an interesting time right now that it's it's almost like you kind of have to be alive you know we could be not alive for quite a while um Mary Katherine baton writes about being in the vulnerability of context and I think we're we're getting the affordance of it's almost a necessity to be alive and and and being that so um I love the things that you're saying why why don't you guys dive in and give us the lowdown on this weekend the low down on Harvard yeah sounds good okay assume we know nothing about it because people listening probably don't and maybe that that will allow us to trace back to the summer too as well Okay cool so um the name of the conference was the alumni of color conference and it's the 11th annual um conference that they've had there um the uh the slogan for the conference was the revolution will be live um the the primary focus of this conference is um has to do with Racial equality and um um mobility in general human mobility and the ability to transcend circumstance and so I think Beth and I kind of latched on to that really quickly um Perry County works really well for that if you don't know much about Perry County in a nutshell um to the naked eye someone like me who moved from New York City down to Madison Alabama it looks segregated um it's what it looks like like it's um the the public high school there is almost completely black and the private high school there is almost completely white and so that wasn't our motivation for going there there are lots of other things there there are lots of other reasons to go there um but it did become an issue and our our job there and I've got to go to Perry County before I can tell you about Harvard honestly so we we kind of went to Perry County with the intention of using devices and using connectivity to help them tell their story and to help them transcend where they were to try to think bigger to try to reach further and to try to um connect outside of where they were because it's so it feels so closed off um but as you guys know as well as I do I mean the internet's totally killed that that we're not closed off it just feels that way so anyway we were a good fit for Harvard we wrote a proposal we worked really hard on it we get there um we we work terribly hard to prep hair um an attractive reasonable way to present this in a small amount of time and we get there for our hour and a half panel and um we we did our best and we had some really cool folks in there we had high school kids in there from the Boston area which is really probably my favorite part about it um we had some teachers there um we had some maybe some grad students um from Harvard um and I'm not there were a couple other floaters in there I'm not sure who else was in there there um but in a nutshell um what we learned was just because it's you know just because it's one of the best schools in the country doesn't mean that they get it yet um we saw we saw some opposition to some ideas we saw some things that that Beth and Beth and I just walk around with this knowledge it feels like knowledge to us it's not an idea it's reality you know and so we then we go share this idea and then we we realize wow you know um maybe maybe there's less of us than we thought or or maybe we've got to reach further maybe we've got to work harder well we know we have to work harder Beth help me out piggyback here please um what do you wna Paul do you want me to talk specifically about the camp or what happened at Harvard or does it matter sounds like we're going back and forth which is fine yeah do what do what you're comfortable with um so maybe just a quick thing so we it kind of started out as a 21st century summer camp so what they at when Daniel presented before this was last summer right yeah so when done it one time is that right yeah we've the inaugural Camp so when Daniel presented to leadership Alabama their their argument to him was well you can do that with do this with AFF fluent kids you can make these really powerful student created things um but you can't do it um with the average Alabama student and Kathy gassenheimer argument was well Beth Sanders is doing this in Teran so that's kind of where the where it became this idea that whether our students are affluent or whether our students are living in poverty or whether you know they have these complex issues that they're dealing with um they still need the space um and the support to use the devices that they have um to connect to themselves to connect to the world to connect to each other and Daniel and I were really adamant in going into Perry County that we didn't want to tell a story that was ours we wanted to go in and support them to tell their own story story which is something we also try to promote in our classrooms um so Perry County while and Daniel and I both kind of get labeled because we're digital natives or Millennials as techie teachers um which I think Al was kind of hitting on this but it's not you know and Sir Ken Robinson says this really well it's not about the technology itself it's about what great teachers can do with the technology that's what makes great learning and youth conver culture slogan is is it's not about technology it's about empowerment right so and so there were two reasons that the conference made sense to us once one because we are um advocates for what you know real learning in the 21st century real learning for people today not using this industrial model um that doesn't work and isn't working that's the first thing and second for equity for all students for all students regardless of where they are and for us technology is a way to make that happen um so we and we believe strongly we're both you know heavily influenced by Mark prky who wrote digital natives partnering for real learning heavily influenced by Tony Wagner creating innovators heavily influenced by Seth Goden and his idea of what art and artists are so we're taking all of those ideas into youth converts culture and we took all of those ideas into our presentation at Harvard um and I I do think that and we're still grappling with what happened but the two most powerful things for me were and I wish that Jonathan was here but um what Jonathan is is a senior he's a senior at Francis Maran and he ironically has applied and had an interview with Harvard um and Francis Maron is is the school where most of the students came from or for the summer came from Francis Maran high school and RC hatch which are both in Perry County um their Rivals they're about 20 miles away Francis maryan High School's graduation rate is like right at 50% and RC hatch is a little below that um very rural um and is by the way where you're where you come from is that considered success or not I joke because there there um there was an article in the paper about a bronx school that graduation rate was 33% and they were comparing it the schools where it was 50% as you know those are the successful schools and I'm like really um well and then I think get to are our high schools um really does graduation mean success or does it just mean that you've passed this graduation exam which I also wish that Jonathan was here because he's been doing a lot of work since youth converts culture with the board at Perry County him and javarius who is also a part of the camp and is also a part of idea um are really going in they went into a board meeting and this is just this is important because Jonathan brought it up at Harvard um he's talking to graduate level um people that are going to become teachers and saying hey this is what's happening in Perry County Alabama and you may have never heard of us but I have real opinions about the grad exam I have real opinions about standardized tests um I have real opinions about what learning should look like for people my age and that to me within our presentation like Daniel and I just sat down and we were live tweeting we were tweeting with people um who were following our presentation but Jonathan had space to talk and to say what he wanted to say and connect with people people um who who care about what he has to say so that's a that's another huge part of what technology can do javaria skyped in um and got to talk and connect with people as well but yeah that that idea that people not everybody's getting it the only thing on our name tags at Harvard were our names our titles and the hashtag for the conference The Kino opening speaker there were over a hundred people there six people were tweeting three of them were from youth converts culture um people are missing this way to connect um ideas and that so that's it's not about the tools but it is about what the tools can do to connect us to each other and to ideas and not thinking that there's this one way to do something I'd like to I'd like to jump in and and sort of reiterate um the importance of Jonathan um when we were when we were presenting you know we had already rehearsed Jonathan knew when and where he got to speak um for his long block of time during our presentation and what we found was just like we found with every young person we've ever worked with and I was this way too um that student voice is is really unharnessed student voice is really raw student voice is really unclear until they get a chance to practice it until they get a chance to to work through it and he I'll just give you an idea say he had 15 minutes to talk he took all 15 the first five minutes were hid and Miss because he was Finding himself he was finding his voice and then he hit this beautiful moment it was a real stride and when he hit that stride um it was total Clarity nothing came out of his mouth that was false or in any way inaccurate and he really started nailing things and so such as can we hear like what what are some what's some of the content and we we we were hoping he'd be with us I'll say again and if you're I hate I hate to represent him like this but I I know pretty I think we both know pretty well what he said um first of all he he began to say very clearly how he felt about standardized tests um he also spoke very very uh Adam about um Beth what was another major piece I think one aha moment for him we were talking through it um he said that this isn't Manifest Destiny this is Manifest Equity when we asked him what youth converts culture meant to him he said this isn't Manifest Destiny this is Manifest equity and then God I mean the guy you know he's taking one of the coolest phrases in history and is loaded and one of the most yeah but also loaded phrases in history when you think about what that means and he's reapplying it he's synthesizing his own idea from that into a into a vision of his future into a vision of our future and what he's basically saying with that is that technology is the thing that's going to bring Equity it's not quite it's not there yet but it's it's the key it's the thing that allows us all to transcend circumstance it's the thing that allows us to reach out Beyond where we are and find people like this it's the thing that allows us to share our ideas is and he's finding his voice online um but and and a lot a lot of Youth are beginning to find their voice online especially when they're being guided in a public school by someone like Beth um or you guys um but we still feel that there's this human peace you know I want to say one more thing about what Jonathan said on the street that we were presenting on there were all these banners on the street lights and Jonathan stopped Daniel and this is just just that disconnect of six to eight years of age like Jonathan stopped and recognized this sign way before we did and every single banner Around The Graduate School of Education at Harvard says education is a civil right so Jonathan literally stops and we all stop and even just this imagery that Daniel and I are standing behind him and he's looking up and reading that um and he never we we spoke about it on the street but then when he was talking during his part in the presentation he said and I want you guys all to look outside he said look at that Banner he said it says education is a civil right but you know what I'm realizing a great education is a civil right right and that's when he went into what he sees are the injustices happening in public schools and he spoke his own truth and gave specific examples about the injustices he's feeling and then spoke on these two things that he's a part of which is his role in youth converts culture and then his role in idea because he's the youth fellow for the institute for Democratic education this year um and that's really when he had that aha movement and I mean thinking about what that mean and even that Harvard maybe you got it wrong and you need to add a word into your sign and you know this kid wants to go to school there and how lucky are you to have his voice and that without yeah without some of the tech tools the only reason Jonathan got into the camp is because he Twitter bombed Daniel and I to such an amount that I was crying and went up to Thomas and was like Thomas take my snip in because we were full um I said Thomas take my stien um we're not going to do the camp without Jonathan he won't stop tweeting me Daniel and I have a feeling about him um and it I mean he's a it's just you got to go and that's human connection but the human connection was created through the tool he never would have got to us without the tool we still have our hearts in it which is where empathy is so critical to our work but without Twitter and without the technical part of it we wouldn't have known each other can you say more details about um how you got funding how how long the camp was there were six teachers there as well I think um whether they were Millennials or some of us old folks or we had we had six six Educators um there was a there was an administrator there and the rest of them were teachers um and then there were 27 students uh three of which were not accepted originally and we had a long waiting list there were three Jonathan was not the only one that we squeezed in at the last minute there was another one named Jaylen and another one named John Jerica and uh they they ended up being like amazing assets you said 27 students 27 students six Educators uh the funding happened after I presented I'm human um which you can find on Madison City schools uh YouTube or on youth converts cultures uh website um after I presented that and and the I'd like to reiterate also that the discussion that the guy that he called me out on he said yeah you can do that because you teach in an influent school I asked him to kind of look in his pockets and take out phone and he did and I said those are the same Optics that we used to shoot I'm human and so that's that's kind of when the aha moment happened and something really magical happened in that room it was a room full of dignitaries called leadership Alabama uh maybe 50 or 60 people and Kathy gassenheimer with her amazingly persuasive language and presence kind of um over the next two or three weeks had connected Beth and me and also helped through them to raise money one participant at a time so these would be like business owners maybe a couple of superintendents and so forth and they just began to donate $1,000 $2,000 $3,000 and before long we had about $30,000 and with that money we were able to um to go down um support ourselves feed the kids and find the space and rock out for five or six straight days we also secured a place to do a final culminating event where we invited dignitaries uh citizens of the city parents whoever wanted to come other students and we opened up this giant Forum in like a Harvard style room uh where we presented our products we presented our final outcomes we presented the students and their ideas and our ideas um and so that's that's where the the funding came from and we're still very very adamantly looking for situations like that again that was very serendipitous um yeah wondering what kind of legs it has like are you going to be able to do it again or yeah God I hope so you know um I I know I know we will do it again right now what we're kind of perusing is the idea of uh of doing some things a little bit more locally so that so it's not as expensive um so that we don't have to have hotel rooms and the whole thing um so that can help us kind of grow our base a little bit um we're also looking at going directly to superintendent of school systems um to sort of sell this idea um and another really important piece that needs to be mentioned here is that this was more than just a partnership between us and those people who came to our camp what ended up happening was um my admin my principal and my school system allowed me to take Madison City School owned iPads and then um Beth's school system and principal allowed her to take tarant High School's uh iPod Touches and some MacBooks to help support this effort and so it really became a partner parnership between three school systems Perry County Schools Madison City schools and Taran City schools and so really what we're pushing maybe bigger than anything in the world is Partnerships um our presentation was very very very heavy on on Partnerships Partnerships between a person and himself and Monica you're a huge influence there um I talk to my kids all the time about talking to yourself um and so that partnership then a partners ship between someone and another person and then a partnership between that person and his or her device and then finally a partnership between a person and his or her world and so these Partnerships is what these are the things that are driving this Innovation and without them we wouldn't be able to have flourish for that week or since then so Beth maybe are um since you you've been talking a little bit Daniel and um but maybe break down each day those are great principles like what did day one look like what did day two look like what did what did what did it look like in the classroom so we were if it was a classroom yeah so we were in the basement of Judson College in Alabama in July without air conditioning so we had fans but we had the fastest Wi-Fi ever um so we were making it work how did you have fast Wi-Fi oh oh oh because it was the summertime yeah yeah there's no one there um so can can I ask though in in general in Perry County is what's what's what is connection like for the students they have they don't have open wi-fi but they have Wi-Fi at both High Schools they're not open we're still pushing to have open access and but what about at home do they have good connection um no the the average median income in Perry County which Jonathan said this in his speech was is a little under 11,000 a household so they're I mean they're dealing with extremities but even within that like Comcast and tant we're working to do this in tant as well but Comcast just opened up a new option for low-income housing to get Wi-Fi access at a really affordable rate so there's really cool things like that that are happening I was just put in connection with two different organizations which I can tweet later that are doing um kind of like secondhand technology to low-income communities because one of the questions Daniel and I got from a teacher which I'm at our Harvard presentation which I'm connected with her on Twitter now is how to get devices in her students hands um so and that's what we mean by a partnership um you know you make these connections and you keep these connections with people I think Monica and I's relationship is a clear representation of that um when you when you meet someone who believes in your ideas and who believes in their ideas you you have to hold on to them and um so that's been really critical for Perry County we're we're in Twitter contact with all of the kids there so uh we know know what's going on and we you know we try to support them the best way we can if we can't get physically there um I just put a link in the chat each day at the camp we made a vlog at the end of the day so one of our big pushes is um helping our students not be consumers of the internet but creators content creators and um ironically was watching the South by Southwest hashtag today Al and was um watching a person from the steam the big steam push talk about that idea of students being content creators so that's I think really something really important to say um day one was all about getting to know each other and getting to know ourselves one of our favorite activities we did was um we call it uh I think we call it what's your baggage but we asked the kids we just had markers and whiteboards and we said who are you on the inside who do you think you're perceived as on the outside um what drives you or motivates you and then what's your baggage after each time they wrote on the board they looked at each other in the eye and they said I hear you and they had a conversation about it they switched boards wrote on each other's board so a lot of um really what I call emotional emotional activities and Daniel and I both do these with our students and Seth Goden argues for emotional labor um to really be someone who's a change agent so it was a lot of that and then at the end of that day and a lot of supporting the kids to use the devices we made Twitter accounts the first day we Twitter bombed people to get them to follow our hashtag we Skyped with a professor and we Skyped with Daniel's friend in New York who's a content creator Kathy gassenheimer skyped in we got into small groups and had discussions about what matters to them what matters um to them locally What story do they want to tell so did a lot of activities like that on day one and day two um the end of day one a question oh sorry yeah yeah um good you know the content creator stuff that you mentioned um I kind of wanted to hear you say a little bit more about that because on the site there's some really compelling um videos uh like the um the thing about there's a Coney response or something that says because I'm a kid yeah um so there's a lot you know you've been saying about the connectedness uh that you're introducing to the students and helping them live with but um these content Creations um I was wondering if you could talk a little bit about you know um some of the ones that really stand out and maybe um what's the goal of the students or um you know what has become of some of those things I I see that some of them have quite a few views yeah um well first of all content creation um it's it's what I do in general it's it's what I do it's what my students and I do together um it's an attempt to practice being connected um sometimes sometimes we have to kind of search for things that we know that we can connect to and when we find that thing we just run full steam ahead with it so in the instance of con I mean con you know took the world over it was it was the ultimate content creation for YouTube at that time it kind of still is and so when they released move um we immediately the next day jumped on it wrote a script filmed it edited it and had it out before lunch so that was all the like it came out at 11 PM and it was it was our response was out by 11: am um and so we find first of all to get our voices heard we have to jump on waves as they're going so that's a big piece to content creation um if if you want your ideas to go viral because we do um you have to jump on those waves when they happen otherwise you're manufacturing your own wave which can be done and which people do but I think another thing is also um and I do you know one thing that I do in my classroom is ask ask them what matters um what matters to you what matters to the world and we did this in Perry County as well and then just build off of that we did a lot of like hook activities and you know little writing little scripts and then the manifesto video which is the last one is 27 people's tiny scripts all pushed together through Google Docs and we were all sitting around on computers typing on the same Google doc and throwing this um script together and Daniel and I both do that in our classrooms for me I think the prompts are really important but you have to be very aware um that you aren't shifting their opinion through the prompt I think that that's one reason that I don't say Project based learning because the teacher creates the question and then the students only get to work within the ramifications of that question um so creating prompts that are big enough to really allow them um the space man to figure themselves out and make mistakes and make videos that are only get gonna get 30 views but also then when they're super interested like Daniel's kids were so passionate about cone um and they got it they understood the message they wanted to be a part of it and then they got connect I mean invisible children contacted them and then came to their school that's it's just like during the Perry County project Terry suul um who's the representative for Perry County we got in contact with her with Twitter she did a live Twitter chat with us an hour before our culminating event to present all their videos to their Community um so I know we kind of got off topic with the camp but we're all over the place it's cool that's that's the only way we work yeah and another piece to content creat go ahead Paul no I I guess it does seem like video was really important um as as one of the tools that you were working with in the summer is that scripting in videos is that yeah I think it's I think it's a huge piece and and you know I I'm very very attached to video and the the the usage of it for our modern learning and our modern self expression um I think that you know when you can take Humanity online in any way then then you're then you're working in the right direction and I think video is the most effective way to do that um we're losing FaceTime we're losing mannerisms we're losing body language we're losing things like that and our students have a really hard time in their adolescent years um really expressing that kind of side of them because they're very very very physical beings but they've become text beings and so we find that um there's a hashtag power of video on Twitter that everybody should probably check out um Power video is just all about how video um allows our students to translate real human um messaging uh and and it's it's it's not the only way but for especially for teenagers it's just a really really effective way um also when a student looks at you and says something actually looks at you and says something it really hits you know how how many like um but the quality of those like the lighting is pretty wonderful the you their their enunciation is pretty wonderful like did where there many takes where they how do you know Daniel can I say something about I would I would love anybody that's watching this to watch day one through day five day one was in this is Daniel has a lighting kit because this is a part of what he does but my students videos are all created with just an iPad um and a we can pop in what the little hook thing we use which is 30 bucks on the internet called a clip um but please watch day one to day five day one is three prompts they wrote on three prompts they reflected they talked to each other they talked to themselves and we recorded it and then when we get to day five it's scripted and it's it's put together but it was maybe two takes from each student um and the whole time that we were editing we were teaching some of the students that were interested how to edit and then if you weren't interested in editing then we were doing something else and some of them were outside and um but Daniel can speak on that he's this really eloquent way of saying it but everything was recorded on an iPad and everything I've ever learned to do with video with the exception of little things Daniel has taught me I've learned from Twitter and I've learned from reading stuff on the internet and watching YouTube videos and teaching myself uh I've never had any you know classes or practice with that well I had a question if if I can kind of pose one I'm I'm curious because I do a lot of uh I didn't mention this but I sit on the board of real life poets how me me and Beth kind of I guess I guess we know each other a little John Paul I work with him and we do a lot of uh poetry workshops writing workshops we uh Sunday we had a workshop went down to Edmond Pettis Bridge cross the bridge did a workshop down there uh and I'm I'm curious because a lot of the things that we do is like when we walk into a workshop we don't have any prompts like a lot like what the kids end up with is what the kids come up with um a lot of the content like I I just give you one example I had some students in my class who who found out how to make a bracelet on on Pinterest and she wanted to she started making the bracelet showed classmates how to make the bracelets and she was like well I want to sell the bracelets and I want to sell the bracelets in order to raise money for uh the Cancer Society because I have an uncle that's s suffering from cancer and so they made like a presentation to go uh show the principal to see if they can sell them at the school but there was they came up with and I'm curious to know other than what what you guys because to me it sounds like it's a lot of global issues and a lot of national uh themes right uh but I know like I personally know more about National politics than local politics but I'm probably more affected by the local politics so I'm curious to know like what what type of things do you notice or do you notice any student generated um issues that they try to tackle after getting an experience of of of how to Twitter Bomb somebody or how to get some some a bigger entity to come in how do they use the that what they've been empowered with to help their current local situations like closer to home or or does that happen one of the coolest things they've done um Jonathan javarius made a video um on Health in Perry County and they used weat one thing that we did was left them with an iMac and Final Cut Pro and an iTunes card so they could buy whatever apps wanted for editing um and they that video Jonathan and javarus recorded created got with other students had the idea talked to their superintendent about it it's on their Facebook I don't think it's on a YouTube but it has a couple thousand views and it's all about um health awareness within their Community obesity is an issue there something that they're passionate about so that's an example of local and I also think um everything in the camp was local everything in the camp was talking about what needs to happen in Perry County what do you want to see happen um it's just Daniel and I belief that local problems are Global problems and we want to help our students realize that um they are connected citizens in three ways locally digitally and globally so when we when we say that Global Perspective we're saying that within working in a local um area because that's what makes sense and that's where they're initially connected but it's empowering them to realize that these tools can connect their local issues to National and Global issues as well um and I'll be happy to tweet you that video that the health video they made Allan I would love for you to get connected with students that are um in the camp and tweet them and ask them those questions um too because I think it's important to hear it from them and another another thing um like recently you know we're in Alabama we're having a a pretty big debate um in the legislature about uh college career Readiness uh and Common Core right and so there's a big there's a big push against those things and um the other day Kathy gassenheimer and Thomas Reigns at Alabama best practices um Skyped with my students and the idea was maybe we inform them and then maybe they take action and so we Skyped with them for an hour and a half and then we talked about it the next day for another hour and a half and they could they just couldn't draw that passionate connection and I so I I didn't I didn't force it so you know there that's a that's a huge piece there um we can't make them care about things uh not not really um sometimes things in the legislature need to stay in the legislature or in or in the adult world I don't know but in that particular instance it was really hard for me I wasn't even gonna attempt to convince them to care about this local I mean and and on that particular thing like like how do you feel about well not necessarily how do you feel about it but them not reacting passionately like did that surprise you like I guess did you want them to did you think they would or like was their reaction different from what you thought it would be no I I totally anticipated them um not totally getting it uh it's a really really complex issue they don't know where we came from and they don't know where we are and they don't know where we're going because nobody talks to them about standards nobody talks to them about educational law um and so it was really hard for them to decipher the difference between Alabama course of study and Common Core um they see it as a list of items of things they're supposed to learn and you know it's it's it's a disconnect I mean you know it's really hard for them to care and I anticipated them um I mean some of them cared a lot of them cared but it's not they didn't have like something to say about it you know these These are ninth graders uh I I teach nine through 12 in the same class okay pretty evenly distributed don't you think you could say that a lot of about a lot of adults I mean it's gotten so ridiculous that it is hard to I think of David Weinberger is too big to know I mean it's gotten to that point that we've decided these are the things we need to know and it's so big that anybody can't keep up with it so so now I'm thinking of Jonathan walking this is what we need we really need to be quiet enough to listen to them because they're going to take us places outside of that legislative room where it's just a bunch of big words you know they're going to make a stop and look at a sign and question what does the sign really mean and and you know should we fix the sign so that's one thing that I AB you said it Monica what you guys are doing is being quiet enough to listen without an agenda you know it's not like come in this room with all these people and tell them what you think it's what do you think just in the Raw what do you think yeah and Beth and I talk frequently about tokenizing student voice you know do do we you know how wrong does that feel you know so I can't tokenize their voice on Common Core or on anything to be and I think that's the most are you open are you alive and are you willing to listen um and yeah and that's what I Al that's kind of too what I was getting at with like the question prompts that's why kind of Project based learning stresses me out in the traditional classroom because the teacher creates question so I've been and I talked to a lot of teachers about this how do you um open up your classroom within you know all this pressure you have especially if you're title one and you know all these other things to really give them a real learning environment where they get to make mistakes and they get to say hey I'm interested in this but wait Miss Sanders now I'm interested in this and I'd like to look at this I'd like to create this because of this I'd like to write this because of this how um you know how do you do that in a public classroom when it is all these standards I don't I don't know the answer to that but I know that we are trying um to do that our our best attempt at that is to embed those standards into where their passions lie but I think like a lot like with with the with the Common Core specifically uh I mean just and this is just my take on it um it's just like a a lot of what's in the common core is already being done it's best practices is is they've they've worded it with a bunch of $100 words uh describing here is what kids are supposed to be able to do and not necessarily specifically around you know this standard like like to me it's almost like our current course of study is here is what the teacher will teach and the common core is more here is what the students will display if and so it's kind of student focused around student Behavior and and and if these things are present uh we can kind of uh interpret more about the understanding because I think a lot of times traditionally assessments they assume they assumptions of student understanding based on correct answers and a lot of times just because they got the answer right doesn't mean they understood any of the underlying principles behind getting that answer they may have just learned an algorithm or trick to get an answer but then hadn't really dug deeper uh but I think if you actually look at what I guess quote unquote good teachers do or what best practices kind of suggest that the common core is is already being implemented or or more if if the only thing you do as a teacher or an educator is meet State Standards you you you you probably need to think about raising whatever bar you're you're meeting at that point I think I was wondering and as uh we're getting up toward closing time here but if uh I could ask you to reflect on and now there's a way for you to do this too I think but reflect on the summer experience and Beth you're a social studies teacher correct yes yes so um and you in particular like how is the way you teach back in your school similar or different from your summer experience and then how did your summer experience help you grow or learn as a teacher um I think I think well when Daniel and I introduced ourselves we introduce ourselves as Learners we don't introduce ourselves as teachers or Educators I only say my content because it's like this you know way for people to kind of begin to get to know you but um I think so I'm saying that to say that every situation I go into I go into the situation as a learner I genuinely believe that my students are teachers and that my students are Learners and that I am a teacher and I am a learner and every single day in the camp and in my classroom I'm trying to instill this idea of a partnership and that they have much as much to give and as Monica will argue more to give if we would just listen a little better um and so for me it was from the camp it was being more aware of student voice and what that looks like being more aware of content creation that is not um being buffered by me and by this I did I did essential questions my first two years of teaching I did very um what I would call traditional project in inquiry based learning this whole year since the camp and since meeting meeting people like Monica being open opened up to what real Democratic education can look like in a classroom it has been so much more about sitting down and talking to my students one-on-one and listening to their passions and how can we whatever passion they have figure out how to make that work within a social studies classroom um but also fighting very hard to take those walls down of my classroom um it's a to me it's about being connected to yourself being connected to whatever Mentor or person you're or people you're working with being connected to that to your device and then whatever work you're doing putting that work out to the world as your art and um for better or worse and a lot of mistakes uh yesterday I tweeted man we're just gonna have to try again tomorrow and I'm sorry and I thank you for doing this with me you know because we're experimenting a lot um and some days are really hard and I also have administrator that are open but are also you know being told that if we don't pass these standardized tests then we're not doing right by the kids and my heart is saying standardized tests are not doing anything for them and aren't going to support them so I'm trying to um throw some bows within my within the system because I my kids need people that are going to be advocates for their voice and God my kids are being advocates for my voice um so mine too learning I just being immersed Paul and all I know is I know nothing um and willing to just try everything that isn't anything industrialized and if I could before we come back to Daniel on that um I just want to alert Al you know I as you talked about the Poetry workshops I'm I'm guessing that that looks a little different than your classroom looks like and I just wondered if that's true and how you compare those two well like in in my class room I'm at work and so I got a list of standards and and and expectations and protocol that I have to follow uh but as much as I can when when when students like I I have students I I have some I really should and and hopefully if my administrators are watching they they'll uh put they'll know my tongue is in my cheek but I probably should write my lesson plans after I teach as opposed to right because those are my plans but a lot of time my students come up with genuinely better ideas I give an example this week we were on persuasive writing and I had a student that said well I'm write I want to write a persuasive paper to the to the principal because I think it's not fair how they're doing this coin drive this week I I I think that it's not fair because the classes that bring the most money are getting certain prizes and it's really not fair and I was like I will write it with you let's let's us let's us write that paper let's do that that's not on my agenda but you using your voice to to power change and so that happens a lot uh in in the summertime like this this summer for example the tornado hit a couple of years ago so a lot of the kids we were working with they genuinely were just writing they know people that they lost they some of them lost their homes or what not and so they started writing these stories and these these these poems about that experience and so out of that we collected all of them there's a book coming out this Su anthology of their poem sponsored by the library we didn't think of that they created that so a lot of it's more directed towards what the kids come out with sometimes we'll have a movie or a film sometimes we'll have songs sometimes we have a show we want to put on a show so we'll find a venue and put on a show so we just kind of in in the summertimes we just try to fuel and support whatever they want to do and how do you do that in the summertime what what under what institution do you work or how do you uh real real life poets uh has some Partnerships with like the Birmingham Library uh with with our different um other social programs but basically the library and different schools that we have relationship with uh they may already have like a summer program going on they invite us in like on a Wednesday so all Wednesdays are real life poets day and we'll come in once a week there or twice a week somewhere else or something like that so we kind of support ongoing youth programs in the summer okay and Daniel I just your thoughts on sort of the difference or similarity between summer and regular school and what you learned from the summer um if that makes sense no it makes sense um where I'd like to go here is um you first of all I learned a lot we we we use some amazing strategies and we allowed them to guide us and something that I learned is that you have to know when to say you're ready now go create um and I'll tell you really quickly what happened there this this semester a student came and peaked over my shoulder and was looking at a lesson plan that I was writing and it said empathy strategy and it had this like two paragraph thing of empathy strategy and he looked at me and he said are are we really doing that again and and it made me it made me stop and think you know it's not that he was reluctant to do it but what I realized I I actually deleted it from my lesson plan because what I realized was these kids are they are capable of feeling and they do feel and they're ready to share and so like once they're kind of Awakened and given an opportunity to be awakened then you have to be responsible and reasonable enough as a facilitator and as a learner and as a partner to say okay you're you're right you know what no more openness we're open let's go let's go show the world how open we are and so it's you have to know when to stop preaching that stop sharing that stop doing that and actually communicate and so that's a big piece here um that's one thing that I learned uh kind of the hard way I drove it too hard I beat a dead horse and so once that happened uh the the other thing I wanted to talk about here and this happened in Perry County and it's happening now at my school um positive content creation is an Avenue to Freedom as an educator by that I mean if I and my students work together to create a positive product to share with the world whether it's a community piece about disabled citizens or whether it's a piece about cone which is more Global doesn't really matter because it's positive it's showing that the students care and that they feel and that they're willing to share and then the world including their parents views that product then that product then those parents and community members say we love that we want more of that and then it goes in this cycle and I think Monica actually did an infographic one time about this the positive content gets created by the student the community sees it tells the board that they love it and then the board says hey principales can you get your teachers to do more of this and so all of a sudden we're less tied down we're less constrained and we as Educators Beth and I have actually kind of earned our freedom you know and I think that a lot of teachers can do that a lot more often you earn your freedom by creating positive content and by sharing positive information and and emotion can I say one thing about real life poets just to be very clear um I've never that was my first I was a first year teacher and I went to a free workshop with six students and met John Paul and it was the first time that I realized what student voice could be and um from it's been so huge so I just wanted to give out a shout out to that because we need to link that somewhere because it is it is really powerful what is happening in Birmingham and what student voice looks like through this beautiful artistic thing and um needed to say that very cool uh lots of inspiring things here at the end um thank you all so much um but we should give each other a break and um and come to an end Monica you have anything to add at the end or no I think we sett plenty yeah I think so too so next week um we will be um David L is coming on with a year at Mission School uh um which is another video project um and it'll be great to talk to him and and see what all that is about um I won't be here but Monica and Chris loone will uh make it all happen um and so that'll be very cool with David litz thank you all um we we do want to say that um our video project here is um was started um with Jeff Libo and um Dave Cormier um and this will go up pretty fast up on YouTube and then it'll um a little bit later when I do a tiny bit of editing here and there go out as a podcast um at edtech talk.com um and at teachers teing teachers.org and um edte talk.com is a channel of the world Bridges Network um and Al come on over we'd love to have you in that Network I'll be there I'll be there we'll be talking okay great I hope so so um thank you all and good night nice thanks a lot thank you thanks Paul | Paul

x7HDhzogc94 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7HDhzogc94 | Inside Gunner Mench's Astonishing Porsche Collection: Celebrating Life in Hawaii! | you want a gunner ISM here's what it is okay the only thing we own in life is our experiences all money does is allow you into a few more exclusive experiences hello everybody what is going on I am Joey today you joined me here in a much more tropical location than normal as we are here in Hawaii to go check out the amazing Porsche collection of Gunner mench let's [Applause] [Music] [Applause] go [Music] hi I'm gunar mench I live here in CA on the big island of Hawaii and uh I've been a Porsche lover my entire life so what was the first Porsche you ever owned a 914 back in Anaheim Hills California wow no actually no no no I stand corrected I actually bought a 66 912 basket case that was sitting out in a field uh when I was in high school back in Vermont and the car I found out who the owner was uh the owner was the guy who created Sesame Street John Stone and I went to his house in sandgate Vermont met with him and I bought the car for like 200 bucks wow it it was rusting through the floorboards and stuff and I I took the carbs off and I played the car a little bit and I eventually sold it to uh some policeman from upstate New York whatever for about 300 bucks before I moved down to New Jersey at the time but it was that was my first Porsche that I owned that I actually bought for myself wow and and I had I had another I have another 66 912 but it's down in Kona right now it's rusted out the pillars are rusted out floorboards are all rusted out everything it's it's too far gone so I'm parting out the car I've got the motor up here got the transmission all matching numbers and stuff but you just I was going to have my grandson I was going to give to him and have him weld a new pan into it and go through the car restore it but when you look at it these days you it's like put dump $50,000 into a car that's worth $50,000 when you're don't so it's like what do you do so it's it's just one of those you know it's too far gone projects and that sort of thing like the 75914 out there of course this is my 76 914 with the matching numbers engine sitting right over there I had a spare 2 L motor like people have spare Motors right I had a spare 2 L motor and I had it built to a 2.4 L about 150 horse with a with the uh dual Weber carbs and a balanced crankshaft and everything else so it's you know it's it's a wicked engine um but we're we're balancing we're trying to figure out the right carburetor combination on the thing I've got 44s in there right now I was an ASC Certified license mechanic for years okay I had a mobile license in the state of Hawaii wow so you know I traveled to the car I used to have an old 83 944 and I put seven tool boxes and a floor jack into that and I'd go to the people's homes and I repair their Toyotas or their you know whatever their Nissan whatever I I'd go do work I'd do head jobs everything but Transmissions this car is special I bought this from a friend who used to be the track doctor at Laguna sea back in the 80s and it was his dad's car and I he was he lost his parking spot in his building in La so he said got are you interested in buying the car and I said hell yeah so I bought the car and literally drove it up to Ren sport 5 back in 2015 wow okay so that's why it has the renv license plate hun so I drove it up there and drove it around and then in 2018 I had it at rport got on the track with it for a track lapse and then took it and drove my grandson before that I took my grandson from Vegas to Missouri and back for the Porche parade at the Lake of the Ozarks and taught him how to drive stick in this car when he turned 16 he's a 21y old Marine right now you know big tall kit you [Music] know these are all special cars every car I that has special this is a rare 76 912e you know what this is you know what a 912e is I do not actually okay first time I've heard it okay as a marketing thing pora in 76 okay when did the 924 come out and the 928 those were in the 80s no came out in 77 oh really so they weren't ready for the introduction of of the new models yet okay so in 75 76 75 was the end model actually for the 914 they kept producing the car just changed the numbers and only made the two later version in 76 okay so 76 was the end of the 914 they needed a stop Gap car in a lost leader price point for 76 so what they did was was they took the 914 Motors that they had plenty of and they adapted it for use this is a 914 motor in a 911 body and the first year that the cars were ever hot dip galvanized so these cars have no rust issues this is one of eight with electric windows in a 912e they all came with crank Windows besides so this is a rare and an uncracked red dashboard everything's original all the the interior everything's perfect [Music] perfect 914 so the 912e the motor weighs about 200 lb less than a 911 motor does so the weight ratio is more balanced than in a 911 so these actually handle better in cornering than a 76 911 this car here is a unicorn you know what a unicorn is very rare car this is a paint to sample 1980 SC taret with about 85,000 original miles on it this was ordered at the factory and picked up there literally he said oh like I want the car to match this green and they painted the car to match that color this is still original paint on this side of the car that one's been redone cuz it had some damage when I got it and I had it fixed up color is not perfect to match it was close so this is the only car this color ever and it's got every option that was available at the time it has all leather interior panels everything else dashboard it has chocolate brown carpet that I had to replace cuz it was all funked out it has all other seats it has the driving lights it has the electric uh reclining uh antenna it's the target version it just it just has everything it's got air conditioning which has to be repaired right now it's like everything has to be repaired when sold I need to [Music] repair [Music] The Strokes should have killed me seven years ago I had two major Strokes um at the same time the brain stem stroke should have killed me it took out my entire left side this was zero and the second stroke at the same time took out my right eye so I couldn't see out of my right eye couldn't focus and I had zero left left side and and uh laying in a bed for a couple weeks before I get into a wheelchair or a wheelchair to a Walker Walker to a cane and now look at me I'm driving on racetracks again I just got through spending the last weekend in Ohio at the 944 Fest driving a friend's car around the track you know when you're when you're you know driving 100 miles an hour on a racetrack you know it's just uh it's another whole experience just just feeling just knowing what to do when you're driving I drive a lot better than I walk my 63 326 is all original un boed it's had a light respray everything is original in it uh it's just a wonderful car with about 130,000 mil on it it's been to the top of Mona four times it has been up there I have taken it skiing this is The Benchmark marker that I turned into a badge from the top of Mona so no other 356 or Porche that I know has a benchmark badge from the top of mon this happens in July when the when the Milky Way is vertical okay so we had to plan being there in July it took a year to plan to make sure this car would make it up there on its own and then we had to consult with the uh the scientists Nobel winning Nobel award winning scientists that they would be firing ing the laser that night so we had the laser firing from the cat Conservatory photos here no Photoshop this is the real deal so 30second exposure and the photographer my friend Ethan Tweety is actually running in front of the car in during this exposure dragging a flashlight behind him and the flashlight is Illuminating the car to lighting the car without lighting anything else and you can't see him because he's moving so fast through the image so this is real this is real old school you know Photography in the real sets now you've got pretty much every kind of por you got cayen 356s 911s 914s 944 what's like do you have a particular favorite one or whichever one I'm driving and that's the [Music] truth so what was your first Porsche my father's first Porsche the one I grew up in and can't get the engine sound out of my head was his 59600 super okay uh he bought the brand new car 59 um he in 1960 drove it to his very first Porsche parade in Aspen Colorado wow from Connecticut to Colorado with a friend who joined him and later moved to Switzerland back to Switzerland but he got to the parade took candid photos of of fairy Porsche and all and and the parade photos and stuff but the most amazing thing about that trip is of course he was in touch with Eric felius and you know through that uh with uh with fairy Porsche it was the first trip fairy Porsche ever take ever took to come to a Porsche Club a Porsche Club of American uh uh the parade Porsche parade so it's the first Porsche parade that he ever came to um what happened when Ferry and his wife came here is if you read the family history they were very fond of Ford products Henry Ford was like an idol to them you know much as you know Ferdinand was to whatever he was doing in Germany Henry Ford was very much appreciated by the Porsche family fery bought a white Ford station wagon which he later shipped back to Germany okay CU he wanted of this white Ford station wagon back there nobody had one in Germany you know so um but so FY buys the car and drives it up to Aspen very Porsche cannot be seen driving a white Ford station wagon into the Porsche parade his first one to ever attend so they made arrangements toet meet with my father in a mountain pass outside of Aspen and fairy got out of the station wagon and into my father's 1959 1600 super and my dad drove fairy into his very first Porsche [Music] parade my dad met at one point with the emperor I salassi of Ethiopia in 1954 this is on his officials card stationary this is a note from John Glenn I was an eagle scout but best regards to Gunther keep up the good scout work hope you get that eagle John H Glenn Jr John Glenn passed me on my space expiration merit badge When I Was A Boy Scout and this is a little note here G and Charlie myself my brother Charlie feel and Gru many greetings from Uncle fery Porsche Uncle fairy Porsche okay so you said Your Roots Run Deep yeah wow that's [Music] amazing how did you end up on the island of Hawaii I came out to visit my dad twice he passed away about uh six years ago but uh he came out here uh and I was here for his wedding in 1990 and then came for a second visit in '93 and after the second visit I said just have to live here it felt like home grew up in New England in Vermont Connecticut and it just felt like home when I came here the the big island is so diverse we have beautiful roads nice people it's a great environment it's just uh it's just an ideal place to live for me you know so um I he was the one who who got me to come out here after the second visit I just that's it you know eventually worked at an art gallery that I end up buying and uh you know so the rest is history it helps to afford my Porsche addiction now you also work on your own cars yourself and how long have you been working on cars for I actually um rebuilt the blown motor on my uh 1970 VW Bug in a friend's basement in Vermont um back in 1972 and then went off to college to University of Vermont and uh couldn't finish after a year I was looking for a job to work CU I was supporting myself since I was 16 actually you know uh moved out of the house early and uh I applied for a job at the Volkswagen dealership in rolin Vermont at lindol Motors and they took me on board as a somewhat knowledgeable young mechanic with barely any tools and I took a room at the service manager's house the service manager's name uh was um uh Hans Hofer Hans Hofer uh had previously before he was the service manner just of the dealership in 72 up in Vermont he was the chief mechanical instructor at Volkswagen of America for 8 years so he moved up there with his wife and his young family and I rented a room at his house besides working at the at the dealership so I got air cooled schooled 24/7 I just sucked it up so that by the time 3 months was up I was the third highest paid mechanic in the whole shop because I was putting out the best work was never coming back I was making making bank for the dealership you know flat rating and everything else so uh I I just had an act for it my mother was a master watchmaker maker and Jeweler like her two older sisters and her and my grandfather and so I have uh a great ability for four-dimensional thinking which is three dimensions plus time so I can imagine an engine working and the inner some stuff like that I can I can pretty much visualize it pretty [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] well now on your 944 The Pink Pig yeah why did you go with the pink pig Livery on it okay the first pink pig was in 1971 okay that's the 9720 that raced to Lama and didn't finish it crashed ran out a brake pad they found out hit the brakes went into a wall SP out it's done didn't finish the race but it was in third place at the time before it crashed before the end of the race uh in 2018 we raced the same Livery again with Porsche and won Lama in the GT class with the rsr in 2018 well 2018 is when we also had um I looked at what was going to go on with shipping a car from here to boar ratan and black and back at the time shipping to from Big Island to Bon and back was going to cost $7,000 so I had a budget I needed to find a car that I liked that I wanted to keep on the mainland for $7,000 okay I found one for $7,000 which was my budget and I bought it in Massachusetts shipped it down to Florida had a check out local shops I wasn't really trusting for what work they were going to do and so I sent it up to my friend George hussy okay at automobile Atlanta George is shop they did the work changed the rotors everything else did did the work that needed bring it up to snow well the car still needed paint it looked terrible it was black faded it looked worse when you buy a car sight on scene you never know how bad it really looks I bought it you know over the Internet with this friend of mine okay so I had a dilemma was I going to spend another $8,000 okay just to to paint this car that I spent $7,000 in buying and then X number of dollars in and fixing up maintaining so I looked at the fact that we just won Lal with the pink pig Livery I love the Livery and nobody else had done a a a 951 with the pink peig Livery up until that time and so I said you know what I need to do that Livery on this car that's why it looks the way it does is because it was a tribute it's a tribute car to Porsche running in the mall and winning with that Livery and uh I sticking the eye to everybody who's just got to push forward cuz here I am a double stroke survivor heart attack melanoma all the rest of the crap and I'm I'm on racetracks I did 10 laps at Indie I've been on the track at Thunder Hill I've been three times now on the track at Nelson leges I've been at Pocono I've been at you know other other tracks with the Porsche parades and stuff like that all these things I've done since I've had my Strokes so it's like you know a new life you know and just celebrating life and enjoying life and that and these cars are were the real incentive for me to get [Music] better all right well no better way to end the tour

NBXEa0KZ3ZA | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBXEa0KZ3ZA | Financing Growth in the Asia Pacific Conference - Luncheon Keynote | and it's good to have you back please by all means fill in in the in the center here I think some people have some of our speakers from the earlier panels have left so we took the reserve signed off of the front tables please fill in if you would that would be that would be great Ernie Bauer here again good to be back I i am now honored to introduce again the president and CEO of CSIS dr. John John Hamre we asked dr. Henry to talk a little bit about the the politics and geopolitics of economic engagement in Asia which is something we've touched on in our earlier panels and the earlier keynote so please join me in welcoming dr. hammering thank you well I hope you all know why you have me and that's because we had a much better speaker who was supposed to come who canceled at the last minute so clearly it would have been better to have had someone who was prepared and for a conference of this sophistication it certainly is not me and but i did get about eight hours of advanced warning so so i have been thinking a bit about this and would like to offer a few thoughts and if it if it does stimulate some some discussion that'd be great you know i think that let me let me just step back to put some context to this because we're heading into I think a very very formative period here in the next month's I think next week you will see the administration finally putting a trade promotion Authority package on the table it's been very long in coming and so but let me give you I think the political backdrop that's larger and which is largely going to shape the debate in Washington I think over the next year and a half on on Asia issues and it really goes back to when the President Obama back in the winter of 2011 2012 started talking about the pivot to Asia now I need to you know this has been widely misunderstood so let me just take a second to to provide the backdrop for this now you will recall that that in 2009-2010 we had some scratchy relations with with the Chinese especially in the South China Sea and but and so that was kind of a backdrop early on the president present obama was kind of confronted by this I think managed it fairly well and I think the president also managed very well keeping separate the politics of the recession from the scratchy relations in Asia you know when we went into this great global or a great American recession in 2008 2009 it could very easily have been demonized we could have tried to demagogue it and blame it on other people and it was certainly coming at a time when there was a great deal of debate here about China manipulating currencies etc so it could very well have evolved into a nasty sort of foreign policy dimension blaming it on them we didn't do that President Obama deserves a lot of credit i believe for keeping the scratchy relations that we were having away from becoming a an excuse or a dimension of the recession but in and in the summer of 2011 it it became clear that the budget problems were going to force a change on defense spending and the president gave a direction to the department to to undertake what was called a strategic review a review of all of our priorities because the direction was we're going to have to cut out five hundred billion dollars out of the defense budget so in January of 2012 then Secretary Panetta invited the secretary over and the president over and they revealed this the results of this strategic plan and of course politically it was an awkward situation you know no president at the beginning of an election year wants to give a great announcement saying citizens I'm proud to tell you we've just cut the defense budget five hundred billion dollars you know that's not something a president will do in an election year especially a Democrat president so instead the spin Meister's thought about it and came up with a very different way to talk about it which is we're going to pivot to Asia it gave a manly sound to what was really a budget exercise of trying to establish what are our priorities it was an awkward expression now it worked politically you know the defense was not an issue in the 2012 election it worked quite quite brilliantly that way but it did create a lot of confusion it gave uh many people in China evidence in their minds so that America was going to contain them finally we have shifted and if announced our policy we're going to contain China there was not what it was intended it gave Europeans a frightening thought we were going to abandon them because we were going to pivot away from Europe so it just created a lot of confusion but there was a very important core to this announcement which was the federal government the defense especially the defense and foreign policy establishment had undertaken a very detailed review of our priorities what are our priorities and the outcome was very clear Asia is going to be our first priority the eastern Mediterranean the Middle East would be priority number two and Europe would be priority number three the lowest priority some of this may be changing now because of what's going on in Ukraine it's not settled yet we don't really know where that's going to go it's unformed and I think will be a major debate in the Congress this this summer but I do think that there is a very firm consensus that our strategic interests are going to be centered in Asia for the next 30 years that's the real meaning of the pivot speech it wasn't the it got it it was the wrong vocabulary it was framed in the wrong way it created a lot of confusion but fundamentally it was a national statement that resolved and uncertainty we'd had for many years you know what what is the highest priority and we decided it was Asia well what does that mean what it means is that the center of the international economic the center of gravity of international economics has shifted Asia and we have to be present in a way as China rises to ensure that it's a region that's peaceful and stable and it's constructive that's in essence now this brought to a head the the central question that we've been wrestling with we and China been wrestling with and that is how do we understand China's rise and America's continued presence you know it's an anomaly of history that the largest military force in Asia was not an Asian country it was the United States but byproduct of World War two and then the Cold War but China's rising power with legitimate aspirations for its power to be honored and recognized how are we going to resolve that that's been kind of a central issue for us in this town for the last wealth by ten years but really much of the of the Obama presidency and at I think after a period of you know four or five years with the Obama presidency for years certainly you know there came to be a realization the Chinese now know that they cannot organize Asia in a way that excludes the United States it's not possible the reason is nobody in the region wants that to happen I think the Chinese are making an enormous mistake by the all this island building you know in the South China Sea because it it sets off these antibodies have worried throughout the region and has everybody in the region want to draw us in even more closely oh it's a colossal mistake on their part but China I think now realize they cannot organize Asia in a way that excludes the United States the United States knows very clearly that we can't organize Asia in a way that contains China nobody in the region wants that everybody in the region wants to have good relationship China but what's unresolved we've both come to this realization what's unresolved is what's the relationship we have with each other as it relates to everybody else in Asia and about two years ago we had this was after the sunnylands visit there was a real you know there was there was a discussion the Chinese put on the table the idea of a great power relationship and I think that dialogue in that meeting and some subsequent meetings was a bit confused because it wasn't it was an idea that was taken out of the oven too quickly it wasn't baked very very thoroughly but our friends in China immediately started going around asia saying see the Americans have agreed we're now running Asia and of course we said no we haven't agreed to that at all and so we just backed up and stop talking about great power relationship because it was being interpreted the wrong way in the theater so the question on the table really is what is the organizing construct between us that accommodates everybody else at Asia I mean that's the central question that we're wrestling with we're not we haven't defined it that bluntly but that's really what it is and that's the context within which we have to look at TPP TPP is and I and it's not without controversy in the region I mean it does Ernie were saying to me earlier you know it cuts ASEAN into you know half of them are in and half of meat you know but what it from our standpoint TPP is this formulation for the long term evolution of Asia that it's it's participatory is open to everyone and it's governed by rules of due process rule of law transparency account I mean that's in essence what TPP is all about now it has you know the vocabulary of our debate is going to be very different in this country over the next two months but at its core it is about this central question how is Asia are going to be organized what's our role going to be in it how does it accommodate a rising China how does everybody feel safe in the environment that's a that's what this is about I think that the several years ago I think the Chinese have started to realize this is the shifting dynamic and so they've offered their own concept you know with our set I think that's really what in part what's going on with the Asia infrastructure Bank initiative I think the administration here made a mistake to oppose the Asia infrastructure bank because it is in essence a statement by China that you know the the the West you know us the Europeans have simply refused to amend the World Bank the IMF the international institutions these were byproducts of World War two the global center of power mass was in the transatlantic alliance and we cooked the institutions that were with our disproportionate weight governing them at the time and the world has changed so why do you still keep the institutions that way well we have refused to accommodate legitimate grievances to reform the institutions so the Chinese saying final okay we'll just create our own and rather than view it as a geopolitical challenge which I think some people in town have viewed it as they should have viewed it as an opportunity to advance our central concept for how Asia gets organized over next 30 years it would be much better for us to be a part of the Asia infrastructure bank and to be on the inside insisting on standards of transparency and accountability and due process that would be far stronger far better in our interests for TG Kendra's then to be on the outside fighting it but we're on the outside fighting it now part of it is I think a byproduct of the politics of TPP you know and just to step back I mean this is complicated politics and trade policy's always complicated you know in America but this is especially complicated because at least the industrial unions in America are very very strong in their influence over the Democratic Party and they have decided the TPP is a great threat to them I think they're wrong I think we're very wrong I mean it's today about a hundred and fifty million workers in Asia have collective bargaining rights under TPP 550 million laborers will have collective bargaining rights I mean it's far in their interest it seems to me to embrace TPP but they have decided not to they've decided to oppose it and about 150 hundred sixty members Democrats the house of representatives have formally signed a letter saying they will oppose TPP okay well what does this mean it means that President Obama will win only if Republicans give him the victory now that's pretty tough politics in this town and we used the way that the White House and congressional Republicans have been basically skirmishing on every conceivable thing they can think of they make up things to fight over yeah it's just it's it's feckless and it's disappointing but it but the idea now to come together on TPP where Republicans have to give the victory and the president has to let them give him the victory ok this is the politics that's right in the middle of it now that's why I step back to say this is not a traditional trade bill that's not what this is about this is about how all of Asia is going to be organized in a constructive way going forward personally I don't think it's helpful to have the president say publicly either we organize Asia or China organizes Asia that's what this is about I think that's very counterproductive I think TPP should be the thing we should be saying right now is TPP's open for China this is not an anti China framework far from it we want everybody in Asia to be a part of this but it is about how this age this region is going to be structured how we're going to have a constructive role in it how China will have a constructive role in it and how we're going to do that jointly with everyone else in Asia that's why it's so important this this this TPP vote is far more important than people realize it's it is in my view and it's what secretary ash Carter said I guess was earlier this week that he considers TPP to be the I don't know if he said it was the most important defense program he has I've said that I think it's more important to the next aircraft carrier because it's going to shape the environment that's that's going to be the context for security and safety and prosperity for the next 30 years everything that we want Asia to become is embedded in our aspirations for what TPP will be so that's why it's an it is a it's a national security debate now you know is it possible I mean given how fractious difficult relations are between Republicans and Democrats is it possible to get TPP I think it is it's going to be hard but I think it is possible for TPP to get past we will see TPA go up next week frankly Prime Minister Abe's visit is it is just essential it's what's propelling this at this stage because he needs TPP for his domestic reform agenda but he's not going to expose himself politically until we're out with TPA you know so the timing of this is its is all important and that's what it's coming together I think next week it will be a tough battle i think that the administration is working very hard now it hadn't for a while but now it's working very hard to try to get momentum behind TPP and I think it I when the day is done I do believe this is going to be the one thing that a Republican Congress and a and a Democrat president are going to do together let me say one last thing and i'll i'll stop and it's again goes refers to what I mentioned earlier about the this island building in the South Pacific South trying to see I'm very worried about this not from a military standpoint you know i mean i don't i don't think these are militarily meaningful developments but they are geopolitically very significant and they they create antibodies that are going to run strong through the region for a long time they could easily trigger a very negative dimension to our upcoming presidential campaign is you know we've had a history where our presidential campaigns have created very negative sentiments hear about China that presidents then have to unpack and you know depressurize when they get into office that fortunately that hasn't happened these for the last eight of the last ten years I think President Bush had wise and thoughtful policies for Asia and for China and I think President Obama as I said did a very good job of keeping the tension of our recession from infecting our foreign policy he did a very good job at that but this island building is a very visible sign that I think could run quite out of control the old theme in American politics Republicans are strong on defense Democrats are weak on defense is coming back again I think this is unfair but i think it is coming back this could become a lightning rod for that so there's a great deal of peril I think associated with this and it's going to be hard to manage it and I think that was in part why secretary Carter was there just last week to make a statement about it so that there is an appreciation for how much is at risk if this runs out of control I think would be a very bad thing for us to create artificial tensions with China that becomes the centerpiece of our presidential election a year from now I think it could be very very unfortunate thing but there's significant chance for it because of what is going on let me stop Bernie see if this is and it's not probably at all in line with what you guys were talking about today but I can't do anything else that's all I know so what you got thank you thank you thank you will you take a couple questions okay great this is a good opportunity let me if I could let me start with the first question you you know you've been a member or a sub member the sub cabinet as deputy secretary of defense how would you be thinking about you talked about the orchestration of steps TPA is going trade promotion Authority would be going up to the hill next week maybe Prime Minister obeys visiting in late April president the Xi Jinping is coming in September along with the Pope not sure that's relevant but somebody was reminding me about that and then the President of the United States is headed out to Asia for his annual trip in in November to at least to Southeast Asian countries how would you be thinking about this year based on what you just talked about in terms of TPP yeah I think that it's almost a central they try to pass TPA before they leave for the August recess I think the you know the they leave for the August recess and it's effectively worse we're into the election year I mean that's just the way it works here and the fall will be dominated by appropriations bills and and the politics that goes with all of that the you know campaigns will be organizing that's you know the union's get even larger control over the Democratic Party during campaigns so I think there's just an imperative that this that this be dealt with you know in the June July period you know I think and I think it's possible I think that there's you know I think that the machinery is attuned to that I think there's a fairly robust quiet discussion going on between the White House and congressional Republicans and Democrats on TPA so it's it's not you know their arse and there are some important fights that are still unresolved but we all know where they are you know I mean they've been defined fairly well and like all things you you get to the stage where compromises are struck and some compromises are internal to an issue and some you have to bring in exogenously other things you can give people in exchange that's sort of a thing I think that's fairly well-developed so I personally think it's a it's a June July campaign what if the what if the pret what if we don't get to TPP okay what do you what would what would the scenario be the president the United States is going to Asia without TPA and without TPP well I think there is a there's a a general backdrop in the world that America is a diminished power and it cannot achieve things any longer it's to internally conflicted it's lost its vision it's no longer the respected leader of the international community I hear this a lot when I travel and when i talked with when foreigners come and visit here and i think it would certainly amplify that narrative now I I very unhappy with our politics right now I've been whether you do or do not like the framework agreement with Iran to have a very senior member of the Senate a Republican remember the Senate say you know we just have to wait two years because we've got such a bad present we'll never get a good treaty with a bad president I mean it's inconceivable to me that a senior member of the opposite party would say something so rude you know because it's really demeaning to America's leadership at this time I think and I think failure to act on TPP TPA would add to that narrative of America diminishment let me open the floor for questions I think the young woman in the back at her hand could you use the microphone so i could hear you please my name is Helen ho and I have a question do you think that the recent rise in the u.s. dollar is actually a vote by various people with money all over the globe in the United States well I I think look I think America is still seen as being I think for various reasons a very attractive place to invest I think the fact that we have a solid and predictable legal and regulatory environment it may be cumbersome but it's predictable that our our capital markets are elaborate but fair that there's a there's a due process rule of law framework that gives you a that eliminates much of the risk Udo kind of a governmental risk associated with investment I think all of those are very strong I think they it I don't think they have been diminished and you put that in you know a backdrop there's a great questioning inside for example China now I mean every rich Chinese person I know is quietly trying to get all of his money out of China you know I mean because of this this uncertainty they have about the current legal environment it's you know it's the there's a certain fear that the authoritarian mobilization model being used to restore the strength of the party is also makes their own personal well-being at risk you know so I it's very interesting to me that you see this and I think there's a feeling around the world that Europe is is only a third of the way through the recession that it that all of the problems that Europe's having it were not halfway there yet so I think it makes you know I think America is is seen as a safe harbor very strong safe harbor is very strong and then add to that the the fracking revolution where you know we've got such abundant reliable inexpensive energy compared to others in the world I think it's just it's created a tremendous momentum and I think that's really what's going on it's it's it isn't because of their confidence in our politics we know that a gentleman at that same table in the gray suit Daniel mood it's a with all of the things that are happening with Putin Putin Ukraine the Middle East Iran what makes you think that the American public will even give a hoot about the islands being built out of China thank you well first of all you're right there are a lot of problems in the world right now a lot of problems I personally think that you know the situation in with Isis in Iraq I think Isis's is at its Apogee I don't think it's not getting stronger you know and I think you're starting to see a galvanization of forces are starting to manifest to defeat them you know I think the the battle for Tikrit was very much a collaborative effort to defeat Isis I think the the growing sentiment is that these apocalyptic radical fighters will can if they're defeated militarily it takes away the narrative of the inevitability of the victory of Islam in the end of time I mean it's a very apocalyptic vision that they have and so actually defeating them in the field is is crucial and I think and you see that very widely felt by all the neighboring countries you know so I think Isis is a it's a bit of province could be there for a while but it but I think that it's we do have a strategy we don't talk about it very well we do have a strategy I think it is coming together I think that's working I think the issue we do not know what President Putin is going to do in Ukraine and the security community here is quite divided on the question is he simply waiting for the ground to harden after the spring melt before the Army's roll on to mario pole or is is is the Minsk agreement sufficient sufficient victory for him to consolidate that and to let the European wounds that he opened up he'll about we don't know now if if he were to move I think you would find the a both Republican and Democratic parties would would come together quite strongly on an agenda to confront Russia not sure what we'll do but but I think that there is that's one I mean that work you know that would come back I think white quite quickly with a focus what the the island thing is is visible you know it's the you know it's hard to conceptualize intimidation I mean though but when you can show a picture of islands being created out of nothing and you know in military installations being built on them I mean that is so ripe for political exploitation so I'm not predicting it would happen but I think it's a high chance that it would become a focus especially for a big field of Republican candidates who are looking to differentiate themselves both from each other and from the president so it I think there is considerable risk that that could become a lightning rod issue front page of the New York Times yeah yeah that gentleman right here penge resume our agency you just mentioned the TVB should I be open to war countries including China I'm wondering what do you think of the timeline and the conditions if channel really applies to join TVP thanks well I you know Here I think you should ask that to people that know what they're talking about you know and I'm not one of them I i mean i'm not an expert on TPP or trade policy per se i do their arse there are legal conditions that we want to put inside inside TPP that will be it'll be challenging for China to get there immediately or quickly but I personally think that there's an inevitability to China's movement towards those very things anyway i think is it's such a dynamic large dynamic complex country I don't think that it's a country that can be governed with the old thora Terry and mobilization model that exists now and they're trying to keep alive it's just isn't going to work and you feel you know you talk to Chinese citizens all the time what are they they're afraid of unsafe food you know they're afraid of pollution they don't have safe places where they feel they can put their savings you know I mean just fundamental issues that really to their core goes down to creating a predictable transparent legal environment so I think it's inevitable that China will eventually embrace that and I think TPP is the pathway for it but I think it may take some time but I but you asked that question of somebody that knows what he's talking about okay I women here in that way thank you i'm paula stern and i think we're very lucky that we didn't have the originally planned speaker so thank you very much for a really thank you thank you you really superb intersection of domestic politics and geostrategic matters with an historic perspective thank you and the point that you made about Obama having made a mistake to say in the TPP context that look it's either going to be the United States with TPP kind of setting the rules or China will do that it seems to me the perfect kind of argument even though it's you may have think that's a mistake maybe long term it is from a geostrategic point of view but from a domestic political point of view and trying to win over this contentious both Republicans and Democrats particularly the Republicans which as you said are going to fall all over themselves during the presidential campaign to respond to the island construction that so I happen to think that we ought to give the president a break on that one and I guess my point is that we have never succeeded no president in going to the Congress for authority to negotiate a trade agreement without making the geostrategic arguments those have always been the arguments that have trumped all the other trade and commercial considerations and so I guess my question is would you if if my proposition is correct that that's that geostrategic argument the president has to make for his domestic are you how would you soften it or shape it differently well I you know it is a debate that is being shaped domestically by the by you know the passions that we feel and frankly playing on people's fear of China is is is kind of a rather familiar theme in American politics I think it's a mistake I don't think we have to be afraid of China and I think we could make a lot of mistakes if we are I think this but I think if so I can understand why it's happening but I just personally think it's a it's a self-defeating approach this really is about how we structure the next the next wave of global wealth development I mean these last 40 years which were about lowering the barriers of international commerce was the foundation for the human expansion of global well-being in recorded history it was unbelievable how good this was now it helped having the the Chinese have changed their strategy you know and to to embrace development to lift people out of poverty you have to give them great deal of credit for for that but globally the world became so much better off over the last 25 30 years with the way we knocked down governmental barriers and took advantage of comparative opportunities for wellbeing it just was a huge adjust that's what this is about this is the foundation for that going forward to build on it I mean there still are you know 1.4 billion people in the world that live on less than a dollar a day I mean we do there is it but instead of thinking about that as a problem let's think about that is the largest pool of untapped energy in the world people that want to work and trying to find opportunities to bring them into the competitive workforce would be a very good thing this is how we have to change our approach over here I personally think the unions look that the unions are have a very valid point about how hard it's been on labor over the last 25 years is that they're absolutely right it isn't because rich people got richer that they're poor it isn't that isn't the issue what happened was 25 years ago the leadership of China the leadership of India decided to actually all of Southeast Asia decided to drop the barriers so that their workers would compete on the international marketplace so with such a vast increase in the number of workers that were competitive on the global market and we lowered the barriers to transportation and communication so it became so much easier for them to compete the relative returns to labor diminished and the relative returns to capital increased it wasn't because we made a social choice to have rich people get rich at the expense of poor people it's this global environment shifted profoundly an American labor suffered in that they did but the solution isn't going to be to try to cocoon them and to prevent that those dynamics for moving forward it's it's to change how we it's to change our framework in this country so that we go over time to try to help labour retool itself to be competitive in this global market but that's not how the debate is being framed unfortunately vasuki shastri from Standard Chartered the puzzle for the administration in the context of aiib must be that all the countries in Southeast Asia who most worried about island building by China are the ones who've enthusiastically signed up for the aiib and is this because they filled the TPP does not deliver all they needs was this a gap that America missed I I suspect that the that the dynamic is a bit more complicated than just a that simple a trade-off I think that I think they all sensed that this was there was enormous momentum with in Beijing to do this and people didn't want to be on the wrong side of it I think they'd be part of it I think many of them shared Beijing's disappointment with the international financial institutions that we wouldn't change and legitimately felt that there was it was the international systems are dominated by the english-speaking white guys and that time has passed and the Doctor Who the institution's ought to be adapted I think so i think there was a legitimate agreement with some of the aspirations i think there was a desire that many of them had they'd rather be on the inside shaping the rules rather than the outside and being victimized by them so they wanted to be on the inside to shape something I think we should have should have done I think there were probably a lot of reasons for that I think the I don't think that it's I don't think it was done as a direct reflection for the current structure of TPP so much and a TPP evolved politically the big change was when Japan decided to join TPP I mean that was fundamentally when it its momentum shifted but it was so far down the road at that stage some people decided not to be in the front wave and you know it would just it caught them I I think making it very clear that you know TPP is a very open framework that and we invite an expansion and an extension of it I think most will accept that I don't think it is I don't think the the response to the Asia infrastructure Bank was really reflects that dynamic so much I think there's a pretty savvy appreciation for where this sits in the region and I think we should be trying to say right now that we envision TPP too but it's hard to say we want to do TPP to when the unions are right now saying that's exactly where they're going you know and you know this is going to hurt us even more so we're going to fight even harder so I think that that debate is is probably we're not going to see that debate very very open in the next couple of months for a couple more questions Andre oh thanks thanks I'm Andres of ozone I'm the partner and director for interstate traffic on it's a high-speed rail company in Michigan and the question is this I'm gonna build on that idea you had that you know it's not aunt like China and we you know they're welcome should be and we want to so in building on your idea my question is this since the tensions actually do emanate from Chinese aggression nobody else I mean they violate the you know agreement the UN Convention on the law to see that they ratified in 1996 but they just do it so to ease this tension do you think it could be helpful and i must confess this is not a hundred percent original idea with me i have some positive feedback on it at senior levels of the Vietnamese government party and but for some of the ASEAN countries ideally all 10 but it wouldn't be but you know start with say the Philippines and Vietnam and hopefully Indonesia as a hub and then then to form a coalition to negotiate with China the things that are outstanding and a precondition to this would be that they would have to resolve all internal disputes themselves now the Vietnamese tell me they don't have any disputes with other claimants in the South China Sea anyway but resolve them all then form a coalition to dialogue with China since is you know China doesn't want to do multi lateral only bilateral so form this coalition and invite friends like the United States and Australia and Japan and then and then invite China oh and invite China and then should Beijing refuse for reasons that you sort of implied they might leave them an empty chair always welcome that's the formula do you think it has merit you know first of all let me just say in fairness to the Chinese I mean they they they don't think they started this but they do plan to finish it and you know they they feel that they had an agreement with Vietnam over joint development of offshore mineral rights and that the Vietnamese violated that so they but i think this has developed a momentum inside the Chinese system that is now getting out of control and you know a you know sadly it started you know when the the people at the the Secretariat for the law of the sea convention you know they sent out a notice to all the signatories saying you have until the first of January I think it was 2011 to document your sovereignty claims and if you don't do it by then you know you you lose your rights well everybody in the world start putting flags down I mean what the hell were they going to do you know and it was a just a colossal mistake I think for them to have done that but then I think it created a dynamic that's now getting out of control in China you know and you know that there is look I'm not anti-china at all I mean I think one of the one of the great successes of the last 30 years has been our China has lifted 500 million people out of poverty no other country can lay claim to that I mean it's marvelous what they've done but there is a propensity inside China to celebrate their victimhood in history and they were victimized there's no question about it I mean when when the British you know God everybody hooked on opium just so that they wouldn't have empty ships you know you know going over 40 that was the most cynical thing in the world that was they were victimized there's no question about that but there is too much of willingness just to opt for this victimization narrative to mobilize public support and I think that's getting married up here in a dangerous way you know in the South China Sea it is not in China's strategic interest to alienate everybody in the neighborhood but they are doing that by this so finding a formula where it can gradually be taken down would be a good thing it's very hard to do that when it means dismantling you know an island you built I mean this is the problem that Israel has about settlements that they built how do they reach an agreement a two-state agreement when it means dismantling things that you spent so much time creating well I think it's a little bit the same dynamic it's starting to grow in the South China Sea it's a it's a worry for us so but but basically you're the rough outline of your idea is right well ladies and gentlemen I hope you'll join me in thanking John Hamre for spending some time with us over lunch thank you we'll reconvene with our next panel in about five minutes | Center for Strategic & International Studies | UCr5jq6MC_VCe1c5ciIZtk_w | 2015-04-10 | Creative Commons

4v6TBLZmHgE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v6TBLZmHgE | BEST SERUMS FOR SOAP PASTE #skinwhitening #blacksoap #molatosoap #skincare #nigeria | [Music] hello there and welcome back to my channel good morning good afternoon good evening wherever you're washing from whatever time zone you're washing from so today i want to talk about the serums and oils you need to put in your soap to boost this whitening efficacy lighting and whitening yeah so this serum some of them i have sometime i mean some of them i don't have because i don't keep the containers once i'm done i toss them away so some of them i'm going to put up the screen and some of them i have i'm going to show you when you make your soap by the way this could be a black soap it could be a cold process soap uh melt and pour or it could be just a soap paste you're making or you can use uh there are different kinds of soap you can use but let me talk about the one i use i either use this method this uh serums for my black soap or i use it to boost the efficacy of the soap this is the one i use remember i tell you whatever i share on my channel is something that i have tried tested and trusted by my clients and me so this is the soap that i use and i use this serum to boost this soap for myself and my clients and the results are amazing please try it sell to your clients whichever and come back and tell me later all i need for you is just give me thumbs up like my videos subscribe to my channel help me build my channel and share this video this is the soup i use i boost the soap with the serum not all of them at once but some of them which i'm going to show you this soap is a ghanaian soap there's the one they call semolina alata semolina cottage soap so yes this is what you can these serums you can use for this so because there's already a paste all you have to do is put these serums and some other ingredients pound blend match with your hands with your fists whichever so this soap is a paste this is what it looks like that's what it looks like it's lovely this is so oh thank god for nature and organic this soap is the bomb and it smells heavenly lemony orange smell not just lemon smell like orange and lemon combined together orange and lemon combined together it's beautiful and what it does to the skin this is what the soap looks like it's a pasty soup as you can see like this see it's jellish in a way and it doesn't stain your hand see it doesn't leave any residue on your hand it's so gelish and transparent transparent see so this just can match it yeah soap is lovely lovely that's it so this serums i'm going to put up here so you can see them like i said i have some of them some of them i don't have here with me so i'll just show you the ones i have and the other ones i'll put up so you see so the first serum and you can put the serum in your soap to boost the efficacy now please by the way i'm not saying you put only the syrup but you can put only the serum and you're good to go even if it's a whitening serum and you put only the serum in the soap it will brighten you smoothing your skin tone your skin but if you're looking for whitening you have to put some other stuff as well which i'm going to make a video for that separately i'm going to make a video for how you can you know and demonstrate how you can boost the efficacy for this soap for whitening okay so now let me show you the serums that i have available with me first is this we all know what this is this is a cleanser actually it's not really a similar serum percy but it cleanses the skin you can use it like a facial toner with cotton wool for your face but it's very high in fruit acid the acidity of this cleanser he's very high it whitens what i do with this is i take like say a cup of this for half half container of this and i use it to soak the soap i just pour it in and i use it as my liquid that is if i don't want to use fruit sometimes i use fruit juice like pineapple extracted juice lemon or what they call it lime lime is a bit too harsh so i use this in place of fruit to soak this is what i use as my so this is one of that you can use this the second serum is this one so glutathione glutathione and vitamin c concentrates you know anyone is milkish like this is actually a concentrate you don't really it's serum and concentrate which means it's stronger and more concentrated concentrate so this one you can put in your soap to boost the sufficacy it lightens and it whitens as well with other ingredients okay but it does the job another one is this rosa rosa which is [Music] concentrate for skin this is quite strong quite strong you can put this like this for half of this one bottle of this even the glutathione i can put one bottle for half of the soap you can put two different serums you can put three different but i always advise since you're putting other ingredients and even oils it's best not to put too many ingredients in your product a product because that could confuse your skin honestly don't overdo it over doing it doesn't guarantee you getting results in fact it works the advert you know like the reverse of it what it's supposed to do is to lighten but now what is do is like it will give your skin patches your skin will be so confused and don't leave if you go light or black or light or that like that so you can use two serums concentrate one or you want concentrate like that in you're good to go another one again which is an oil is not a concentrate it's an oil is this cleaning clear very good this is the oil it's not a concentrate so oil serum but it's an oil foam this you can put in your soup you can use it as well it gives a flawless because see this uh oil if you put it in a cream and or apply directly to your body it could give you black knuckles yes this could give you black knuckles but whereby it's your soap the good thing about products even hydroquinone even any product that has hydroquinone if you use it on your skin in your soap for your skin you will still receive get that good lightening result you know because what you're doing you're not leaving it on your skin the surface of your skin to be there for hours like cream but you're putting it in your soap and using it as a clean synth you're washing your skin with it and you're rinsing it off so it will do the job without the damage the longer it stays on your skin the more damage it could which is when you use it in cream so in soap it's better another another one again is this bb clear i love this over you i love this oil this oil is so good like in five seven days you are seeing your skin being so flawless this is what it looks like one bottle of this for half of container of this and you put another serum and some powders and even greater soap and activators everything this i love and i use this one bb clip five in one baby click another one again p middle people know this female dough you can use this you can use one bottle of it or half of it in half a container of this soap paste another oil which is not a concentrate is this one bio eclat cream carrots oil it's very good very very very very good this gives a very flawless smooth finish and helps diminish dark knuckles and patches on the skin this is good as well so basically when you add this oils to your soap you're going to get a very very very very bomb results because some of these oils i mentioned and the ones i'm putting of course you can see the pictures they quite harsh they're quite harsh they're not mild on the skin and most of them are african products which is uh saying you know etc but their products as you know is quite harsh and intense because they their system i don't know please don't quote me it's a bit more flexible when it comes to chemicals and creams in serums and skin you know cosmetology so yeah i don't know if it's regulated but it the same the product seems to be quite harsh because you know the dark skin takes time to show uh results of lightening our skin is quite tough the melanie components in our screen in our skin is very high which gives us this dark shade that we have and gives us is responsible for the dark skin tone responsible for the dark eyes brown the darker your highs the higher your melanin like that supposedly but indonesian products korea products which is uh south korea uh thailand um china don't you i don't trust chinese product most of these asian products and even arabic products they're quite mild because you know they already have light skin they're just making it look much better and glowy so um basically their products are quite mild and when we so when you get an indonesian product and you use it on a dark skin you don't get to see results as much as they will they will get more result because they don't have any melanin in their skin we do so the product takes time most of them just smoothing your skin brightening your skin doesn't really do much of the lightening not really okay so with the serums you use the serums you use your powder you use your uh organic stuffs you blend another soap into it incorporate it say like zone soup uh koji soap kk brothers any of those ones which i'm going to make a video showing you how i incorporate all the serums and any other soap into this peso to make it more uh efficient for the lightening and the whitening and so yeah that will make another video for that one so so yes so i think that's it now let me know blob too much please kindly subscribe to my channel and like my video sharing and drop a comment in the comment section letting me know how it went with you if you made the soap how it turned out and any product you'd like me to review for you kind of let me know in the comment section down below so this is me i've been signing out and thank you for watching my video see you soon again love you guys bye you | Ivy Body Aesthetics | UCCYM1A5AiGWokoGKGmOT4vw | 2020-08-24 | Creative

akZuJ1L_XXU | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akZuJ1L_XXU | A Day Without Social Media | [Music] oh well yeah yeah that right today is a pretty different day this is monday welcome back to the vlog today i'll go the whole day without using social media when i woke up early as well gonna be a tough one let's be honest here right social media runs the world it does social media runs to work it decides how we feel it uh influences us in pretty much every way possible it gets political it doesn't get political experimental exposes us to loads of different things there's always a positive and negative to that the positive is being that we can see our cultures from their way around the world we can interact with people we'll probably never ever speak to in our lifetimes and we'll be able to communicate with people you can set up your whole job you can speak to an audience you can influence people you can recommend stuff to people you can help people out and that's the side of the internet i like being able to contact loved ones and family from different places join movements in order to help others it the internet can be used for magical things but also it can be occur because when there's good there's usually bad they kind of go hand in hand at least it can be a dark place it can be a very very dark place there's horrible people because as well as being wonderful people on the internet doing brilliant amazing things there's also people who are doing horrible things and the complete opposite that at the end of the day that is the internet now i've seen people like casey neistat a lot of other creators do videos like this and i thought i'd give it a go let's see i wanted to try a day without using social media to see how it affects me and my take on it and how i react to it like other people my age i'm on social media for most time of the day there's not really a time where i'm not on it a lot even when i'm on holiday i find myself i'll go on social media quite a bit and when i talk about social media at the moment i'm talking about twitter instagram and snapchat i i mainly use those those three as well as facebook is involved in this experiment for a day of my life i'm going to not be using the the main form allow myself to use choose platforms that i create on such as uh tiktok as well as youtube and then i'm also allowing myself to use places like discord where people need to talk to me about stuff that relates to other people's content so if i need to help other people out i need to give feedback to someone else they need a way to contact me and also what's up in case of emergencies and emergencies only i just wanted to see how i'll react to it will i find it hard will i find it easy or will i just feel lonely today i'm going to be documenting that experience taking you along with the journey to see how i feel about it i could probably do this for a week i could do this for a month but i wanted to see what one day we'll do see if it's positive or negative going around on the internet every day and especially during lockdown everyone's on it a bit more but not avoid it you have to see this stuff in front of your face he's showing you all this stuff it's maybe stuff that you want your stuff you can't have a lifestyle it exposes you to that and it can be very damaging to people i mean you've probably heard casey neistat talk about fomo and fomo is a type of anxiety and it stands for fear of missing out fomo is is not great and it's only it's gotten worse with time going out we're not involving other people with them it can be really damaging to people for which everyone has suffered at one point from fomo if it's your favorite influence of going to this dream place you want to go to or this live event that's happening for your favorite artist and your friends are there but you're not it's bad but there's nothing you can do about it it's an endless battle with your phone there's also the stress of how you look on online the stresses that come with it people's perception of you and how they perceive you from your online attributes if they're trying to hire you for a business or so maybe someone's looking for a partner they look at online and they see and they make assumptions so i think this experiment is gonna be good it's gonna show me that do i really need it in my life do i really need the stress of it is it worth it and do i get anything out of it so it's currently 11 o'clock and i must admit i have been tempted it's uh i usually say good morning to people yeah i'm not i'm not feeling it too bad at the moment my god it's really actually it's a very miserable day the weather is so bad today's a pretty weird week it is a monday mean let's start the week ago stop texting me please get a new floor put in this week it's finally being done i don't know what to do [Music] when i hit big 100 i have no idea what to do when i hit when i hit number 100 commiserate and ending or do i just continue wrong there's never ending what do i do go to the zoo again but no because i know for a fact i want to vlog other parts of summer but do i do them as a daily vlog or do i just focus on the big game take off i thought these would be like the making of me and then these vlogs have broken me down in loads of different ways i can't even imagine yeah start to feel it now it's kind of relaxing kind of kind of relaxing without knowing this dress because what i like to do is that when i'm working i just throw my phone behind me i'm like yeah like over i don't get distracted it feels good that i'm not like it i don't i don't feel rude for not opening messages because i'm i'm not on it i haven't got it it is now the evening it's been a whole day of fun i've done a lot of writing got a lot of stuff done i'm very happy with myself and then just proves i felt like you know after one day of not going on social media at all now what i've discovered about myself is that i've had more time to do stuff i've gotten a lot more done today i feel a lot happier i'm a lot happier obviously this only counts for one day but i'm thinking about doing this for a bit longer i think i'm gonna i'm gonna definitely turn notifications off for snapchat and instagram that's definitely a good thing like i went on my phone a lot less in general you know when it's constantly beeping at you it's very hard to ignore it so i feel like just keeping notifications off is is a good thing it gives me a bit more alone time you know it's a crazy world it's a crazy world so i'm taking a break from it for a bit it's always fun i'm willing to do this again um you know i'm willing to delete it maybe for a couple for a week maybe not in this current climate because it's kind of important to have a phone so i can talk to people make sure you know they know i'm alright and i'll make sure that i know that friends are all right but maybe in the future might be something i look into because yeah i mean i was a lot more productive i feel a lot better about myself oh it's just a lot different video today it's a lot different if this is your first one not all of them are me just not me not being existential or me being like i'm not usually like this but yeah if you did enjoy make sure you stick around for a bit maybe check out my other videos some of them are good some of them are bad i must admit make sure you like the video comment what you want to see next and i'll see you tomorrow goodbye | Max Roach | UCNq4xf38sCiGQurHXYAzlIQ | 2020-08-10 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

ctF9kjAo_30 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctF9kjAo_30 | LUMINAR NEO: A PORTRAIT MASTERCLASS | in the video today i'm going to be taking you through a bit of a portrait masterclass inside luminar neo you can actually use his ao photo editor to get some really awesome portrait editing results you can do things like beauty retouching fine art retouching you can do newborn retouching for baby photos you can do normal portraits and lots more and i'm going to show you how to do that in today's video so if you haven't yet you should definitely hit that subscribe button because i'd love to have you here on the channel at ben's guide let's jump in to the good stuff if you've just got a copy of luminar neo or perhaps you're looking at getting a copy this is going to be a tutorial i think that you'll really enjoy and benefit from i'm going to show you how you can achieve some really awesome looks using portraits and different kinds of portrait editing which you might come across in your editing workflow now this is an image which has got a really nice kind of atmosphere to it already but we're going to transform it and we're going to turn it into like a fine art portrait or something that's got a mystical feel to it luminario has some really good tools to do that with so let's get into this first off i'm going to start by using the atmosphere tool this is under the creative tab and this is one of the ai photo editing tools inside luminar neo clicking on the atmosphere tool you've got different options to add in things like fog mist haze and things like that for this image in particular i think we're going to jump in and add some mist now you've got some options where you can add more or less using the amounts loader so we're going to push this up to about quarter of the way and you can see that this has been added into the background now we want to bring the mist in this image closer to the front of the photo to where the subject's standing so we're going to use that really nice technology that 3d depth map that luminar neo has and we're going to use the depth slider here to bring this closer to the front of the image now what's lovely here now is we've got this misty effect which is really kind of permeating into the whole image and transforming the look of it if you have a look at the before you can see that we've got that feel to the image but just taking it up a notch when we add this atmosphere in and this misty effect the next thing i'd like to do is go ahead and add in some sun rays the reason this is going to look really good is because at the moment you've got this misty look which is coming down on her face she's almost closing her eyes and just enjoying the feeling of being out in nature you can add like warmth to this by using the sun rays effect by creating some sun rays and really taking this up to the next level clicking on the sun rays we need to place a sun center so you get this little circle thing which shows up here just dragging that into the corner we want to actually make it come from this direction the reason being is she's standing in this direction and you can already see the mist coming down this way anyway so now if i push up the amount you can see that this starts bringing in some of the rays into the image now this already looks good but we want to make a few changes to make it look even more real using the penetration slider here you can actually make it more of an overall effect by bringing this up instead of just a few different rays so pushing that up there you can see that looks really good now now what we want to do is add some sun rays warmth just to make it look a little bit warmer and there we go we've got this really nice effect if you actually want to make it look different slightly one of the options here to use which is really beneficial is just to bring down or bring up the sunray length you can affect how much into the image this affects and straight away bringing it here you can see it's now lighting up the subject now if we go into the ray settings here we can bring down the number of sun rays so that it looks like more of an overall effect that we started off with the penetration so let's bring this down and then you can see that we're getting more of an overall look which kind of blends better into the whole image now i actually think that looks really nice so now we've got the sun ray sorted we've got the atmosphere sorted with a mist let's go on and finish the effect with this beautiful glow effect right here you've got four different options you've got soft focus glow autumn effect and autumn effects soft i'm going to use soft effect to start with and let's just bring the amount up and watch what happens to our image when we do you can see that we really add in this beautiful fine art look this mystical fantasy effect to the image and it just really takes it to the next level as you can see right here this is the before and this is the after beautiful when you're doing newborn retouching or baby retouching there is one effect which is almost a staple of the retouching process and in luminar neo you can do this just with one tool and it makes it so quick if you've got lots of images to edit we're going to click into the edit tab we've got this beautiful picture right here it's stunning it's set up nicely but just by adding this one effect we can take it to the next level using the glow effect that we used previously watch what happens i'm going to push this up and look how much it enhances the look of this effect you can see right here we've added this beautiful dreamy effect now to the newborn or the baby portrait and this is one of the looks which really enhances this style of portrait so if you're doing this style of portrait i highly recommend if you've got a copy of luminar neo to jump in and use this tool it will save you a lot of time using gloomy neo for beauty retouching photos is actually something you can do quite easily you need to jump into the portrait tab because this is where it all happens and there's a few things that you can do here to well few quick changes you can do which can make a big difference so we're going to start off right now with the eyes you've gone into the face tab you can actually go straight to the eyes section here and then you can enhance the look of the eyes if we just zoom in you can see the eyes right now she's already got beautiful blue eyes and they really capture your attention anyway but just enhancing them a little bit you can just use the eye enhancer push that up to about a quarter or even a half if you want to add more and then also use the iris flare and you can see that this has already made a really beautiful difference to the eyes and just enhance them super quick the ai photo editor luminar neo is able to recognize these parts of the face quickly and make the changes accordingly you've also got lots of other things you can do around the eyes you can get rid of the dark circles in this case there's only a slight dark circle but we can actually push this right up and watch what happens this gets removed from the image underneath and it just draws more attention to the eyes because of it and that's just a quick change you can make to enhance the image moving on from there if your subject has kind of sporadic eyebrows i don't know if that's the right word to use but her eyebrows are a little bit patchy you've also got the improve eyebrows tool which you can push up and it just makes the eyebrows a bit darker and just fills in these little gaps a little bit by making it darker and this is something which can be used quickly and easily using this portrait section from there sometimes i will light the face up you can do that with this slider just pushing the slider up and lighting the face a little bit if it's a bit too dark now just in a minute or so you can see that we've made some significant changes to this image there's a few other things that we can do though which will make even a bigger change one thing i'd like to do is go into the skin ai section and just kind of smooth out the face if you've used a retouching software like photoshop you'll know that you can do things like frequency separation it's something i used to do a lot back in my portrait editing days early on but with this now you can just choose the skin by using the slider because it already has this baked in to this luminar neo photo editor so just by pushing this up to about here i can now smooth out the skin and give it this beautiful smooth look to the skin around the face and what i like about this tool is that it doesn't go over the top you can actually get a very natural look straight away just by using a quarter or half now if your subject has shine on her face from harsh highlights you can also use the shine removal tool which is really really good for removing those and balancing the overall luminosity on the face skin defects removal honestly i'm not a big fan of this tool i don't think it does much and i think that it's something that luminar will improve in future but if you want to add that you can but at the moment you can see on this subject it doesn't really need it anyway finally we're going to jump in and we're going to change the lips now at the moment the lips look beautiful so when i say change i just mean enhance so we're going to go to the mouth section and we're just going to add a bit more saturation because i think they look beautiful and then we're just going to add some redness to give it that beautiful red lip look which just looks fantastic so let's push that up and we've got that beautiful red look to the lips now as well if your subject had the teeth that were really on show and they looked just a little bit yellow then you could also just push the teeth whitening up and that would enhance the area as well let's take a quick look now at the overall retouch by clicking the i you can see this is the before and then this is the after it's done a great job and it's just another way that you can edit portraits if you're into beauty retouching you can do this quick and get great results next up you can use luminanio to get some really creative portraits this is an example right here love this photograph i love how it's been staged and i love the color but you can enhance this even more to make it more creative now what i like to start doing in this kind of thing is i like to use the relay ai tool this is a powerful tool one of my favorites inside luminario actually and one that you will find yourself using more and more and more the more that you use luminanio so clicking on this i'm going to make the brightness near brighter this is going to brighten up my subject in the image now i'm going to use the brightness far darken that and this is going to darken the background more in the image now this is just separating the foreground which is the subject from the background which really doesn't have any details apart from that color then you can use the depth slider to balance the foreground and background between and then see how much of the effect you want showing up now actually in this image you get some like strange things here so it shows that maybe the resolution of the image is not great so we're actually going to push this up a little bit and then we're going to make sure that the depth is higher rather than lower now we can look here to see the before this is the before where the subject's a lot darker and then this is the after where the background's darker and we're lighting up the subject more which is what we want by the way you don't want the subject being dark in the background being light otherwise you're actually bringing the attention of the viewer to the background of your image what's the point of doing that so now we've done that we're going into the advanced settings and i'm actually going to bring the warmth near down that's going to add a nice cool tone into the image so i'm bringing that down and we're adding this beautiful blue tone into the image just enhancing the look of it already warmth far now if we push the warmth up in the background it's going to look a little bit weird as you can see we're adding this orange tint to it so actually i'm going to leave it where it is so we've added by using the relight tool we've added more light to the front less light to the back and we've added more of a blue color to the subject so you can see here we've enhanced the image already but there are ways to really enhance this more and one of them is using the layers tab which we now have inside luminar neo jumping up into the layers tab here i'm going to click on plus to add a new layer and then you're going to see these flares and these options so i'm going to grab one which looks like the color of this image already so let's use this one right here i've added that in and that's going to be applied now that's added this really gorgeous effect which is just really enhanced it so much more but of course if this is too much and you want to dial it back a bit you can do so you can grab the opacity here and bring it down so it's not so strong right now if we look at the before this is the before here and then this is the after and you can see how we've really almost exaggerated the look that we already had going for that creative looking camera so quickly just using these couple of tools inside luminar neo you've got this beautiful creative effect now and of course you can go on and increase this even more adding more tools in to your edit but right now i love the look of this image and if you want to change the effect of this flare which has been added you've also got your blend mode as well so you can use things like lighten to brighten it up or you can even darken it if you wanted to which is not going to look particularly great in this oh in fact it doesn't look too bad at all does it let's have a look at the before on that i like that a lot so you can see you can play around with the blend modes as well and you can get some different effects doing that also we've touched on this briefly already but luminar neo has a brilliant tool called relight ai and i'm going to show you that in a minute but first off portrait bokeh is just sensational and this is something which i use so much if i'm taking photos and say i'm shooting at f4 and i actually want the background to be more blurred and i wish i'd actually used an aperture of f 2.8 there's no need to be worried because i can just bring it inside luminar neo and then i can actually just do that using this tool so using portrait poker let's show you what i mean and how easy this really is so this is going to blur the foreground or the background or both in the image so if i push up the amounts slider now right the way up you'll see that after this is loaded for a few seconds it's going to start adding more of a blur to the image and this is going to separate the subject from the background this means your subject will pop more in the image and then the background will take less of your attention which is important because once again the focus should be on the subject not on your background now right now it's made a little bit of an effect but if we use this depth correction here and bring it down you can see this is telling luminar neo that we just want the effect to be used on the background and you can just see that's been applied now also it makes a selection of your subject we've done none of this ourselves luminar neo the ai editor knows to pick out the subject it knows what the subject looks like the technology picks that out and then it just separates from the background straight away this looks so good you can see the before and the after this is the before it really you know the subject kind of gets lost it's a beautiful photo of this woman in this red dress but it gets lost you've got this building in the background it just takes so much of your attention now the building has been almost silenced a little bit it's kind of blended in and it's more blurred in the background now if you want to punch this up even more you can do you can just push up the amount slider and then you can really blur the background and the attention is just focused on the subject only this is a brilliant tool one i use all the time one of my absolute favorites now you can actually take this upper level you can go next step with this and i do this a lot as well i combine this with a relight ai tool so watch what happens here we're going to open up the relay ai tool we're going to go brightness near which is going to brighten up the near part of the image which will be the subject in this case and we're going to take the brightness down of the far area now when this loads you'll see this starts getting applied into the image but the real important slider here is the depth slider this helps you balance the light and the dark together or the light together so if i bring the depth down you can see it's going to affect more of the background and if i bring the effect up it's going to affect more of the foreground so it's about blending this in to achieve a beautiful look but if i push that right down you can see the background has really been darkened now and then i push this up you can now see that the subject just jumps right out the image that looks absolutely gorgeous really like the way this tool works it's something i use all the time of course you can change this a little bit if you want so if you think it's a bit too dark in the background you can bring that up just so it doesn't make too much of an effect and there you go this is the before this is the after all done in a couple of minutes guys i want to thank you for watching this video it's another long one from me this is becoming quite a regular thing i hope you've enjoyed and make sure you hit that subscribe button and the notification bell and if you like the video hit the like button as well that'd be awesome have a great

cover jose 11 9 you faced god said i am god you don't believe in jesus you don't believe that's what i'm thinking you don't believe in god the way the truth is that's it why the bible do you mean by only on somebody no what i'm saying jesus said you only know what's going on okay this is the only thing what is the father if you believe in that no listen listen to me i believe in you you believe that jesus is the world listen to me through their life or not let me just believe that wait wait wait you're coming from gospel right away john 14 6. let me quote it let me this do you believe that okay the way and the jews are the lord no one comes to him don't come to the father through him at his time because he was sent to the jews no i was sending only all that i was sent only to the lost why why not to you a gentleman like you really no no i never you got god you say i never you knew you depart from you you even do us you as a gentile you are saving jesus do you know why when god when god says holy savior you know god in the old testament no i want to seek you no no do you think i'll take you no no let me talk you you drink talk god said no you'll give up keep on drinking when you drink you gotta get education god said his only savior in your old testament let me dream not drinking i don't want god you came to me no no you came to me i'm not stopping now you came to me you came saturday not only i was there he came to me you know in the old testament god said his only savior let me quote him his holy savior no no no if you know you'll come here you read the bible in the book of isaiah chapter 43 verse number 21. god said before me no god before me no god was formed no sir there be any after me i am the lord and besides me listen to me this english besides me there is no savior several times furthermore in the bible in the book of aza again chapter number 45 verse number 21 to 22 21 2 22 21 said he said he said you shall have no other god speak no you shall have no other gods disgust me and that's gonna save you you should no he said uh and there's no other and there is no other goddess ask me yeah he said turn to me and be saved all the answers of the ad for i am god and there is no other god said to unto me and be saved you know sir several verses in the bible in the old testament god said it's only one god only and it's unique in isaiah 14 6 9 god said that remember the formatives of all for i am god listen i am god and there is no other i am god and there is none like me what do you understand by this verse the old testament let me ask you now you have the whole you hold the bible yeah yes why are you holding the bible i'll tell you i'm holding yeah yeah please explain to me i'm holding hold of you let me tell you please listen look there's not a single verse in the bible why it said well it says that only the christians can read the bible we believe you know you you shouldn't you no no no no no let me finish yeah i do comparative studies you know before i started comparing video stories when i i live in south london when i come out the christians will tell me jesus love your savior and when i come from the quran they say it's your quran we don't believe in that so i started doing compare religious to find out what is the bible what does to find out what is in this bible they are studying you see the word of god hundred percent yeah and when i read it i was shocked that in the old testament the old jewish prophet jewish prophet all of them was the only one lord they were all muslims muslim is someone who submits his will to almighty god this muslim is a person who wasn't the creator allah not the creation suffering all the jewish prophets including jesus they had a god they worshipped god they never associate any person with him now the christians are telling us that jesus is god and then he caught up with trinity nowhere in the old testament and also jesus said you don't believe in no new testament you don't believe me let me finish the new testament when you read the new testament for example yeah from from a gospel of matthew to uh revelation if you look if you look new testament the new testament has 27 books paul wrote half of it from the book of romans no no i'm going to explain the sitting when you hear yeah okay crucifixion resurrection is paul when he hears jesus a savior for example paul said in the book of romans book of romans chapter 10 verse number 9 to 10 he said 9 said that paul is saying if he completes with your mouth jesus is the lord and believe your lord in your heart that god's raised him you'll be saved correct yeah he said that yes yeah yeah and next fast that you believe and are justified and it is with your mother you constantly not save all right but when i look at it i say to you no no no listen i said that's what paul said but when i go to jesus jesus never said anything like that what right in any way shape or form and jesus himself said in the gospel of john chapter number 6 chapter 5 46 said that if you believe moses you will believe me for he wrote about me now when i go to the five books of moses yeah the first five book books of the old testament yeah genesis exodus the video goes number three i want to fight that will you find it it's not acceptable no no no no no not funny you see this no you don't listen to me i listen to you i said okay just like okay just like that you lied now paul said if you complain what did jesus said if you believe moses you believe me for he wrote about me i'm saying let me finish that number you know you say that i didn't find it i am telling you that yeah i know i said no i said no i said what paul said that's not in the paul said if you confess with your mouth jesus he said that he just said that jesus said if you believe moses was yeah yeah you believe me because because why is saying that in detroit chapter 18 moses said that what do you say okay let me read whatever moses said yeah i'll show you that paul is saying pastor police and the pastor because what paul said it's not in the interest right there that means that that means that if that only i think your language is the problem you're not listening to me you know listen i said to paul says something that when you go to the old testament when jesus said moses wrote about me what paul said moses never said anything about that god read it listen listen listen the point is jesus came yeah to show us a way to reveal who god is okay like this guy is confused if you if he [Music] let me see now i'm going to keep quiet i want to call all the verses or even six verses show me what what did moses write about jesus because jesus said that if you believe in moses you believe me for he wrote about me now that's the question he doesn't believe i believe no understand believers because otherwise there's no 18 verse 17 you say that get it and the lord say to me listen what they have spoken is good i will raise up for them a prophet like from among their brothers and will put my words in his mouth and he shall speak to them all that i commanded him that's what he said i will wrestle a prophet like you no god incarnate what did they say you are disciplined you are deceiving what is it a prophecy honestly no god incarnate i don't like this one's not god ah not trinity trinity show you see the only verse that moses wrote about jesus 80 holy say a prophet not god incarnate no telling you you can't show me show me you are a new criticism you see you're you're exposed on you i'm preaching on you okay the only thing the most the only verse that moses wrote about jesus into john 18 18 we speak to our prophet we believe that the prophet jesus the prophet yeah a messiah said israel that's why the quran i keep on quoting this verse excessively here that's what the quran in surah and this 171 says that all people are in scripture all jews and christians do not speak do not speak lies do not go to extremes in your religion and do not speak lies about allah but speak the truth the messiah israel jesus the son of man the son of mary was no more than a messenger of allah nobody prophet and his word which he bestowed on maryam and his spirit created by him so believe in allah and his messengers [Music] worship the lord the lord our god is one lord jesus himself in the bible in the bible in the gospel of mark chapter 12 verse number 29 a man came to just say to him yeah which is the first the first of all the commandments jesus said the first of all the commandment is he always like the lord our god is one lord do you know that god do you know that you are anti-god you're going against your first commandment show your antichrist now i love you i love the woman now i have jesus now i'm going to finish i love you so i've got to finish the debate i'm going to the gentleman i'm going to finish that because he was talking he's a gentleman he's asking questions he didn't answer when you're debating so i'm going to i'm not going to know where i'm here i don't run i mean i said if i know something i'm not know everything i know something i'm sorry i'm not not all just so just a question god in the old testament in the book of exodus exodus 24 14 he said he said do not worship any other god listen to me why don't you preach the bible said why don't you conquer in the old testament in accord in the old testament in the book of exodus 34 14 3414 and do not worship any other god for the god for the lord whose name is jealous it's a jealous god the old testament god said you know what if any did god change his mind in his book so so what is happening wrong no i'll tell you now why why we do that very good question five minutes well it's it's just i mean looking at this objective yeah looking at this conversation yes this kind of disagreement behind you yeah are we on camera no i'm not you can't be here it's gonna be on me maybe on me on me yeah because yeah on me yeah it's just it strikes me that nobody is right and nobody is wrong yeah right so everything you're saying you can no it's me everything you're saying you can counter and put back to him that he's wrong in your rights and then the opposite way so you know you will then say that he's wrong in your rights and so on and so on and so on first of all why does anybody have to be proven to be wrong you know if you're living in this high um energy of god in the bosom of god in love and peace then why do you need to make anybody else wrong just forgive them for not being where you are on their journey why is it always a competition because yeah but i'll tell you why because according to my scripture if you die yeah worshiping uh creation if you die in that state you're gonna go to hell i believe in that that's my belief that's the thing you have to believe we believe in as a muslim we believe in almighty god the creator allah without any associating any partners with him that's why in the quran if you go to quran the quran has got 114 surahs they call it chapters and the 112th surah if you want to know about the concept of god you go to that one i'll call that one to you that's why we disagree with them because when you've got the bible in the old testament you can find it in the old testament but they reject the old testament and they're following a new testament which was written later on it was written at the time of jesus yeah and none of the uh this thing there is not a single prophet in the old testament which says that which speaks about this concept of trinity or jesus being god so that you are telling them and a lot of people act they go to the bible and study it and find out all right so the concept of god i hear that but what i'm saying is i hear all that and i hear your arguments in your eyes i hear my point is why can't you then just say well he disagrees and says that he he opposes these you know these points that you're bringing that's a different view why can't you then just say that's fine that's that's not my belief i don't i don't resonate with that belief this is mine having to make sense no no no no no no no speaker's people come in we have a material if you want to take it you take the quran and if you don't like it i said we don't but when you come here it's debates and it benefits people online because people see when i call this scripture and he quoted we don't know who is telling the truth when i called a revival when i talked i quote extensively from the old testament new testament to debunk this myth of jesus being god and because majority of christians haven't studied their bible they believe what the church tells them yeah look at the other thing when i was debating with uh having a christian pastor at brixton we are debating no not debating he was you know it was i was passing by i said jesus created everything you know jesus not only created the christians he created the muslims he created the jews i went to merced i missed your bible there's no single verse in the bible why jesus said create anything i want to start extensively in the old testament now let me let me tell you now let me finish okay okay let me let me finish let me feel it i'll say today let me finish okay i said there's no single verb in the bible why jesus himself said he is god or was he more great anything i said you know you've got to old testament in the old testament god said he created everything always tell me that god changed his mind oh there are two gods god of the old testament and the god of the new testament so i said okay let's go to bible when who alone straight out of heaven who spread by myself who god is that that's not trinity he look at me like that i said no you're going to go where you go tonight you're going to go to gospel you're going to go to uh in uh colossians in colossians 1 16 and john 1 10 he said that jesus christ but that verse there guess what the one he's gonna call him okay now let me finish because i was going through the letters they are always like you're not listening to me i'm ready it i've caught i've got the bible i've studied 10 years he mentioned his statement no no no he said that no you know he's not fine let me help you no need a witness listen to me okay make a statement listen enlighten you listen i said let me enlighten you what did i say you say that yeah there's a bible doesn't say that no you know no you see you lied i said that's not a single verse the bible why jesus said he created anything is it a fly show me okay jesus himself saw me what do you mean jesus the bible is about jesus what what the bible is about jesus the bible is about jesus about jesus so the bible is himself the father is the lord of the heavens do okay the gospel is about jesus his work and i want what jesus jesus says listen listen listen god jesus called his disciples yes to do to to do to be his weakness they testify that about his work about what he did and satisfied that he died and he lost so when he when you say that you believe the bible the whole they understand so the bible created as that everything was created by jesus quote it but no but anyway you asked us as well why you don't understand let me tell you a problem no he didn't say that he's not listening to him he said that you're not listening what he said that he's okay what did he jesus christ and what happened their quran is connected to the bible but the bible doesn't want to have it shows that their quran is in light alive from him that's your problem so what happened they come here to be against christian that's his problem that's why you have the bible but he doesn't believe in the bible that's one place he gets down here you can't see the problem i want you to understand the problem he is um four days what is [Applause] so why are you making a statement different i foreign | Dawah2Soul | UC-XHO_xPbFFgWjwDd1T7jQg | 2022-02-02 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en |

working out it is something i have to have especially on strength training days because it helps with muscle recovery and soreness i actually just ordered the lemon lime flavor because i've been having the watermelon now for a while and i love it i truly love that product so i'll link that for you but i need some food i need some food so i'm going to have one of the thomas english muffins in cinnamon raisin after i work out i like to have a carb fat protein based meal or second breakfast i did have my protein coffee this morning as you saw so i'm going to toast up one of the cinnamon raisin english muffins i'm going to top it with a little bit of light butter and then i'm going to have some good culture cottage cheese you already know this is my favorite cottage cheese and i have some leftover crushed pineapple from my meal prep so i'm going to have cottage cheese pineapple and an english muffin for breakfast [Music] all right it's breakfast time so i have my good culture cottage cheese with the crushed pineapple i ended up doing about 155 grams of the cottage cheese a serving is 110 so it's about a serving and a quarter which is fine i used up the rest of it it'll give me a big punch of protein 50 grams of the crushed pineapple i have gotten a few questions on the crushed pineapple because like i said i shared it in my meal prep fruit in its natural juices if you drain it is zero point so i count my crushed pineapple as zero points as you know ww is a tool so you count it however you want but i do count it as zero points i obviously count the calories for it as well and then i have this looks so good my english muffin with one tablespoon of light butter spread between both halves i'm really excited for this i love english muffins it's such a great source of carbohydrates before or after a workout oh yeah everything i wanted it to be i just finished my breakfast and i'm going to sit down at my desk for a little while do some work i have lots of people who have ordered personalized macros and calories so i need to get questionnaires sent out and start calculating macros if you didn't if you haven't had your personalized macros and calories done i seriously cannot recommend it enough it has been the catapult for my weight loss i struggled on ww and when i really started tracking macros tracking calories eating enough protein that was when the magic happened and my weight has just steadily went down and i've been able to maintain my weight loss it is so important and like i said in my q a video that went up on sunday part two of my q a i'll link part one and part two down below you have to see them i answer literally over a hundred different questions on weight loss and lifestyle and answer a lot of the mean comments and questions that i get so definitely check that out but in those videos i talk a lot about investing in yourself and part of investing in yourself is having your macros and calories done because it really is what helps you lose weight sustainably healthy helps fix your relationship with food stopping binge eating really remembering that food isn't bad or good and that nothing is off limits it's really a huge huge game changer in catapult for weight loss so take advantage of that i will go ahead and put my nutrition coaching website here on the screen and it is always always down in the description box so you can order your macros and calories off of my website i seriously can't recommend it enough in my morning coffee this morning you saw my completed coffee you saw that i added a premier protein no my premier protein is not recalled i get that a lot whenever i share premier protein but my particular ones that i have are not on the recall list that's a great way for me to start my day with 30 grams of protein and as you know if you follow my channel i put collagen in my coffee every morning from collagen for her and i put two tablespoons of just better fiber which is my favorite fiber supplement it doesn't cause bloating for me it dissolves there's no grit there's no flavor well they just came out with a new product and i share this in my facebook group and you guys in my facebook group love this product and ordered like crazy but i wanted to share it here on youtube too because this is so incredibly exciting so just better fiber just came out with these to-go

entrepreneur kristin is so sweet so definitely support her pick up the just better fiber these to-go packets i can't get enough of them i literally have like 10 packages [Music] so i'm back with some more organizing you guys have been loving seeing me doing a lot of home organization it's been something that's been on my bucket list since we bought this house my kitchen and the rest of my home organized completely organized especially my drawers because i tend to just throw things in my drawer and they have no rhyme or reason and then it frustrates me when i open the drawer and can't find anything i'm sure you can relate so i ordered these drawer divider systems in premium bamboo from good pick now i've shared a few products from good pick my laundry hamper the big basket i store my blankets in in my spare room those are all from good pick as well i really like this brand super super high quality so i decided to get one of their bamboo drawer organizers because like i said i still have a lot of drawers in my home that need some organization they're really easy to use they come with full instructions and they're high quality bamboo drawer organizers which i love the aesthetic of bamboo just of wood in general and they last forever much better than a lot of the plastic ones that you can buy you know walmart tj maxx or ross these are a million times better quality you're going to receive four drawer organizer systems and then you have the dividers in different shapes and sizes to divide out the different spots in the drawer so you can customize it for what you need whether you need a smaller divided space or a larger divided space you can use these drawer dividers in your kitchen your closet your pantry you can even use them in your sock and underwear drawer or in your clothing drawers they're really really versatile really high quality very heavy weight which i appreciate they even come with labels which i love that so that you can actually label what is in your drawer so for example if you were using this in a junk drawer you could put labels so batteries pens you know that type of thing you can label the spots and there is room right on top to put the labels that come with the drawer divider set one other thing i really like these about these are how customizable they are so you can see this little wood pin right here so if you press on the end where the black is it expands so that you can make it fit whatever size drawer you have i absolutely love that that's what makes these 100 customizable when you buy the inexpensive plastic ones they're just the size that they are and you have to try your best to find one that actually fits your drawer and these ones are fully adjustable so this is my junk drawer now granted i have a plastic organizer but it is so old and warped it doesn't fit the space so i have all this extra space over here on the side that i could actually organize and divide things out a little bit better this junk drawer was in perfect shape when we moved here and this is just what naturally happens so i'm going to use my good pick drawer organizer and make this look a million times better than it is a lot more organized more aesthetically pleasing it's just going to be so much better overall [Music] you've been crying [Music] i know i know i know [Music] hey i know you can find someone better [Music] [Applause] [Music] okay i'm so excited look at how beautiful this is this good pick drawer organizer looks like custom it looks like this was custom made to fit my drawer i do have a few extra slats but i use a good amount of them like i said you can change the size of all the openings because there are so many options for you to put in your slack i love this i love it i love it i love it i feel really good when i open this drawer because it is much more organized i will link the good pick drawer organizer down below for you with a discount highly recommend i mean i think my beautiful aesthetically pleasing drawer speaks for itself it is time for lunch i am hungry it is 11 30 and the last thing i ate obviously was breakfast so i'm going to put together kind of a hodgepodge lunch throwing together everything that just sounds really good this is something i do a lot is i think about what sounds good and then i piece together my meal that's part of the reason why i always have a lot of options in my house whether it comes to snacks or meals i like to have a variety so that i can kind of piece together what sounds good so what we're doing for lunch today is i have my barbecue chicken my hawaiian barbecue chicken that i made in meal prep for tacos but i'm not having a taco today i'm gonna i'm gonna change it up a little bit i'm going to have four ounces of my barbecue chicken and i'm going to top that with some light shredded cheese to no surprise to anybody of course i'm having some cucumbers and then i decided that i was going to have some of the fried pickle and ranch dip from taste of the south this dip is so good and i'm going to have it with a serving of the trader joe's multi-grain pita crackers these two things together i love them it is such a good combination and then i'm feeling a little bit of a sweet tooth so i'm i'm also going to have two of my peanut butter catalina crunch cookies i shared these in last week's what i eat in a day i actually did an entire taste test for you guys so i'll link that video down below and i'll eat catalina crunch with a 15 discount so like i said we've got a hodgepodge but let's put together our lunch [Applause] so here's my lunch and i'm pretty excited about it so i have my chicken with some cheese i ended up doing 14 grams which is half of a serving of the cheese it's perfect just to add that little bit of yumminess to the chicken i have my catalina crunch cookies one serving which is ten of the pita chips two tablespoons of the dip and some cucumbers it's like an adult lunchable it looks so good so satisfying i have protein carbs healthy fats a veggie i can't wait i'm getting out of the house for a couple of minutes i've been doing macros all day i have been on coaching calls all day and i need another coffee i'm definitely needing a coffee troy is still gone golfing so i am going to run to duncan pick up an iced americano and then i have to run to the post office because i have a ton of packages to mail out i have my two just better fiber giveaways i have some clothes to return to she and stay tuned i have another try on haul coming and then this box is actually the giveaway for the challenge group that i run on facebook so coffee post office and then back home also what came in the mail right before i walked out the door was my amazon order i have a new protein powder i can't wait to share it with you guys i'm so excited so we're gonna make a protein shake for an afternoon snack i also got in some protein shakes like pre-made ones off of amazon that i've really been loving so we'll do a little little haul when i get home and fingers crossed there's one more item coming today that i'm excited to share with you and i didn't mention earlier but i have a really good dessert recipe brand new we're gonna test it out we got a lot happening today so let's go grab a coffee and run to the post office i have a pickup order for jen clayton all right thank you so i have secured the goods so i did something a little bit different today i always do an iced americano with an extra shot of espresso otherwise it is not coffee enough for me duncan loves to add cream in and it's just never very coffee tasting so that extra shot of espresso helps i always do light on the cream so two creams instead of three and today i did two of the pumpkin swirl regular syrup two sugar-free hazelnut it's so good together it's like a pumpkin nut kind of like pumpkin bread vibes super super good that is today's order i'm feeling i'm feeling all the fall vibes okay this is delicious this is one of the best coffees i have gotten from duncan it's sweet i think next time i would do one of the regular pumpkin instead of two because it's pretty sweet but the hazelnut and the pumpkin together yes please and i don't even like hazelnut by itself but this is incredible so i just got home from the post office and i had the mother load of packages everything i was hoping would arrive today arrive so we're gonna go through it actually even more stuff that i ordered is here perfect timing for this afternoon snack so let me show you all my good stuff that showed up and we're actually gonna do a taste test because guess what i have brand new fall flavors of american dream nut butter now they came out with four flavors two of them were cashew butters two of them were almond butters i ended up just ordering the almond butter because the cashew butter just isn't my favorite i know that that is the minority most people really love the cashew butter i really love the almond butter and the peanut butter so first i ordered pumpkin cheesecake and then this one sounds so good this is the big apple so we're going to taste test both of these and then i restocked my 6 a.m run this is exactly what i showed you guys this morning and i had mentioned that i had ordered the lemon lime 6 a.m run finish line which is a post workout supplement that has bcaas which are branched chain amino acids so it helps with muscle recovery soreness i always get the watermelon but i wanted to try the lemonade so that came today i'm really excited about that it is zero points there are 50 servings in the container so it lasts forever everything i share with you i'll link it down below for you some of it i can give you some of it i have discounts for as well so definitely check out the description box and then i restocked my greens because i'm almost out of my green apple one up nutrition green so this time i got their new flavor raspberry lemonade now i love the apple the green apple is so good but i wanted to try the new flavor zero points for this as well and this is fantastic if you struggle getting in greens or if you just can't handle gross grass tasting greens these actually taste really good they taste like fruit and it's a full serving of your greens and reds and your superfoods so i just throw this in my water bottle fill it up add some ice shake it up and it dissolves really really well and i think it and it tastes really good as well it's the only green supplement i can handle so i got a restock of that and then whenever you order from one up nutrition you get to pick two samples last time i got two samples of some of the different flavors of greens but this time i got protein powder samples because not only do they have greens but they have pre-workout post-workout greens and protein powder so i have the chocolate and peanut butter blast so it is 23 grams of protein and 127 calories and then i wanted to try this because i haven't found a brand that i really like that has a fruity cereal and this is 109 calories 25 grams of protein and both of these actually have bcaas in them so they're really good again for post workout you know making a protein shake and drinking your 6 a.m run finish line would be perfect post workout so i'm really excited to try these i will save these for what i eat in a day so that we can test them out together and then i restocked my muscle milk vanilla cream protein shakes i discovered these during prime day i love them i shared them in a video if you like sweet coffee or sweet protein shakes you will love them i don't want to open this up but i actually have one in my fridge so i'll show you what it looks like so this is the protein shake right here so it's the muscle milk zero sugar vanilla cream 25 grams of protein 160 calories i love it i really really like this protein shake for me this tastes good by itself and i really love it in coffee so i picked up another case and i'm really excited about this if you guys remember in last week's what i eat in a day i made a protein shake using the ascent chocolate protein powder the little packet that i had bought at sprouts i wanted to test it out make sure it wasn't disgusting before i invested in a full bag but i loved it i loved love loved it the taste was so good there was no protein taste no sweetener taste no aftertaste and i already have a chocolate protein powder and i heard from one of you guys that they sell it on amazon so i hopped over to amazon by the way this is super affordable for as clean of a protein powder as this is and there were so many flavors on there i was like a kid in a candy store couldn't decide on the flavor but look at what flavor i got [Applause] lemon sorbet yes i love lemon anything and i thought how good would this be with blueberries in a protein shake so that is what i'm going to have for an afternoon snack today we're going to try the lemon sorbet out we're going to make a sub a fruity protein shake like i said i have chocolate powder vanilla powder the chips ahoy from ghost i have a peppermint bark from pe science so i decided to get something fruity now this particular protein powder really clean ingredients so if you want a protein powder that's affordable but has clean ingredients can't recommend this enough this is whey protein isolate blend that has native whey protein isolate whey protein and whey protein isolate whey protein concentrate natural flavors that's the only thing that's a little questionable in the protein shake sunflower lecithin stevia leaf which is better than any of the other sweeteners like sucralose splenda any of those and sea salt that's it and the chocolate was so incredibly delicious i just i i really had to have the vanilla i'm so excited really affordable cheaper than a lot of the crummy ingredient protein powders out there everything i just shared with you will be linked down below but we're gonna have this for an afternoon snack and then before i have dessert tonight because i'm trying out a new dessert recipe at that time we'll do a taste test of the american dream nut butters because fall is here is daddy

is dice up my onion and my bell peppers so the first thing we're going to do is cook up our pound of ground beef once your ground beef is cooked go ahead and drain any excess fat put it in a bowl and set it aside to the same pan we're adding one tablespoon of light butter and then we're going to add in our onions cook those down for a couple of minutes before we add in the bell peppers now go ahead and add in your bell pepper and we're going to cook it for about two to four minutes we want to make sure that the onions and the bell peppers are softened now we're going to add back in the ground beef quarter cup of beef broth one tablespoon of worcestershire sauce some garlic powder salt and pepper and then you're going to allow that to cook down let that sauce reduce a little bit and lastly we're adding one and a half cups of light shredded mozzarella right on top and allow that to melt and dinner is ready i didn't mention in the beginning but this is a one pot recipe i mean literally everything was made in one single pot super super easy it took me less than 20 minutes to make this meal so here is dinner doesn't this look so incredibly delicious my favorite part of the philly cheese is the sauteed bell peppers and of course the ground beef and the cheese i mean who doesn't love the cheese let me go ahead and plate this up and i'll be back to your points and calories so here is dinner i am not having any carb with this i'm not going to add anything to it because i have a really good dessert that i want to share with you guys and we need to taste test those new american dream nut butters so this is going to be my dinner i will go ahead and put points calories macros here on the screen for you all right as promised i'm going to be sharing a brand new dessert with you but first we're going to taste test one of the new american dream nut butters we're going to use the second one for our dessert so we're going to taste test the big apple almond nut butter this particular one is two tablespoons for a hundred and i can't read that 160 calories here's what it looks like i'm going to stir it up it does have oil that naturally settles to the top and most of the mix-ins fall to the bottom during shipping so make sure you're stirring your nut butter up really well and another question i get all the time is does it have to be refrigerated no you can just leave it in your cabinet i don't know if you can see the mix-ins but there is chunks of apples and cinnamon it looks like little cookie bits so i want to taste test and get some of the mix-ins oh it's smell it smells like apple pie [Applause] oh that's really good there's like crust in it there's actual little bits of apples and little bits of pie crust it's really good per the usual with american dream nut butter it is super super delicious this nut butter actually has less points and calories than traditional butters and the almond butter and the peanut butter have fairly good ingredients eight grams of protein seven carbs and 12 grams of fat and for our dessert we're actually going to use the pumpkin cheesecake almond butter this one's 152 calories for two tablespoons 7.2 grams of protein 4.6 grams of carbs and 11.3 grams of fat again it is separated so i'll get it all mixed up and let me share with you a new dessert idea so for the dessert you're going to need a caramel rice cake now with this particular recipe you can use any other ingredients but the base of the dessert is one of the quaker caramel rice cakes and i'm going to do a pumpkin caramel vibe so i'm going to do the caramel rice cake and then i'm going to use a tablespoon of the american dream nut butter and pumpkin cheesecake you could really use any nut butter but i highly recommend american dream it is so good and then i'm going to add a drizzle of this pumpkin spice syrup i actually found this at tj maxx i'll see if i can find it online zero calories you could also melt down some lilies chocolate chips and drizzle that over the top if you wanted some chocolate you could use butterscotch chips you could really do any kind of topping you could even use whipped topping low sugar chocolate sauce i mean the possibilities are endless but like i said i'm going for more of that pumpkin caramel vibe so let me go ahead and pull out my rice cake so i'm going to weigh out one tablespoon of the pumpkin cheesecake nut butter which is 14 grams and then spread that nice and even over your rice cake and then i'm going to drizzle over the pumpkin sauce oh this looks so good look at how delicious this looks i was thinking it would be fun to add some chocolate chips or something to it as well but let's try it out let's taste test that pumpkin cheesecake almond butter all right the almond butter is really good i taste pumpkin i taste cheesecake the caramel of the rice cake adds that nice crunch and extra sweetness i will say i don't love the pumpkin spice sauce or topping the first time i tasted it the first bite it had a really artificial taste to it kind of like a plasticky artificial taste to it the second bite it was a little bit better i definitely get the spiciness and the pumpkin i just don't know that i love it i mean like i said the second bite was better okay it's not bad it's better the more that i eat it maybe it was just the initial bit that was on top that had that weird taste because when i just tasted it just the sauce itself it actually tastes really good this is delicious the american dream nut butter on a caramel rice cake you you can't go wrong and i actually do like the pumpkin spice sauce it's not my favorite thing in the whole world but i'll use it and i was thinking it would be really good on ice cream and things like that too so this is such a fantastic dessert like i said i'll link american dream nut butter down below with 10 off and i'll see if i can find this maybe on the skinny syrups website or somewhere online and i'll link it for you as well really quickly too speaking of desserts and sweet treats uh smart sweets came out with a new candy so they came out with the smart sweets jolly gems hard candy and it's in green apple peach and pink lemonade you can have three pieces for 60 calories and i'll put the points here on the screen for you they're really good i've been eating them you can see my package was open here's what they look like they look like just traditional round hard candies so if you're a hard candy lover you just like to have something to chew or suck on in your mouth and these actually are really good for that and they have one gram of sugar per three pieces which is not bad at all like i said i've really liked them i've been eating them on and off i have to say my favorite flavor is the peach but the green apple and the pink lemonade are really good i mean all of them are really good so all i don't know if these are in store yet i got these online so i'll also put smart sweets in the description box with 10 off [Music] all right so that's a wrap on today's what i eat in a day i hope you enjoyed coming along with me today seeing all the good food that i ate we got to test out new protein powder new american dream nut butter a new dessert it was a really good day and dinner by the way was absolutely filling and delicious it would be really good to just add that mixture to a hoagie roll or a bun if you want that whole philly situation it would be really good added to some bread as well so if you enjoyed today's video give it a thumbs up subscribe if you're not because i upload what i eat in a day every wednesday and lots and lots of new videos five every single week don't forget to check out the description box for everything that i shared with you in today's video nutrition coaching links and discounts to my favorite things and come over join our facebook group we'd love to have you thank you so much for watching i hope you have an amazing day and i'll see you in my next video

MDc_TfS2i2E | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDc_TfS2i2E | 3 Ways of Empowering Your People to Transform- Whitney Johnson | [Music] hello and welcome to bright lines webinar you've been disrupted three ways to empower your people to transform my name is Emil Anderson and with me I have young Nicky Akana from bright line initiative we will be the moderators and tech support for this webinar Whitney Johnson is the CEO of we wlj advisors and ranked as the top business thinker by thinkers 50 she's an expert in the field of innovation and disruption and author of the best-selling books build an 18 play to their strengths and leave them up the learning curve and destruct yourself putting the power of disruptive innovation at work so without further ado I would like to hand over the word to Whitney enjoy the webinar Thank You Emil and it is a pleasure to be with all of you today and I have to just say I'm laughing like right out of the gate because we've been disrupted in that for whatever reason my webcam is not interfacing with GoToWebinar so I can't see you and you can't see me if you want you could google and see what I look like so you can imagine me talking to you as we're going through this but I think it's actually quite fitting that this is not working on that we can see each other it's been as we all know a very difficult and challenging couple of months very difficult and challenging in lots of different ways for for each each and every individual and so it it makes it feel to me like a trip that I took a few months ago back in November was a very very long time ago my I was speaking in Peru had the opportunity to go there and if you go to Peru my daughter was taking a gap year she went with me and if your improve course you have to go to Machu Picchu and those of you who are familiar with Machu Picchu there's this village that you can walk in but then there's also um it could also climb the Machu Picchu mountain and that is exactly what we did it was grueling several hours it took us about two hours to get to the top and I knew that I was gonna my legs were going to be sore and wobbling once we got there but what and so that was all expected but what was not expected that is that as we got close to the top the paths got very very narrow so narrow that they were about three or four feet wide and importantly there were no guardrails there were no change there were no barriers there were no ropes there was nothing so if we had slipped in any way we could have plunged to our death I am not usually afraid of heights but in that moment my fear took over and so I did what any respectable person I think we'd do in that situation or at least what I did is I tried I went into survival mode and I lowered my center of gravity I started to cling to the side of the mountain I stopped looking out at the view and just said how do I make sure that I can move along this as safely as possible in order to not fall off the cliff well as you can imagine we made it to the top and on the way down on my daughter took this picture and we're hiking down and someone stops our guide and says to her guide so is it a problem is it difficult to get to the top of the mountain and he says to them in Spanish Nuka problema Symphony is apprendi sake which loosely translated it means it's never a problem you're always learning but that is not how it feels right now is it never a problem we're always learning just a few weeks ago the Boston Globe a newspaper in the United States did a survey and asked people how they're feeling well 25 percent of the respondents said I have never been more scared in my life so the question is is okay if we're more scared than we've ever been in our life how do we say it's never a problem we're always learning well that is what we're going to talk about today I would assert that the only way that we can conquer this mountain that we are currently trying to climb is to conquer ourselves and that's really the topic of our calm and this idea that the fundamental unit of growth the fundamental unit of change in any organization is the individual we follow a pattern we start at the bottom we're trying to figure out how things are gonna look grasping for knowledge to accelerate we move into the sweet spot we're in the groove and then we get to the top and we feel like we've got things figured out but worried that we're gonna capitulate and so we jump to the bottom of a new learning curve this is how we grow the thing that's interesting right now though is that none of us have to make the decision about whether we're going to jump or not we've all been pushed so what did we do what does that look like well what we're gonna talk about what you're gonna learn now that we've been disrupted we're gonna talk about the fact that the only truly effective way for you to manage through disruption is to disrupt your self the only way to manage the disruption is to disrupt your self now before we go any further and I talked to you about this I want to just tell you a little bit of my own story so that you have some context for why these ideas are so interesting and important to me and it starts with a question and the question is how is it possible that a music major like me so I played the piano in college ends up speaking to a group of leaders across the globe at a bright line webinar how is that possible well the answer is and you've probably figured it out already is that you disrupt yourself when I graduated from college my husband and I we moved to New York so he could get his PhD at Columbia University and I I would never have gone to New York on my own I can still feel the terror that I felt as we drove across the George Washington Bridge into Manhattan and for the first several weeks I wouldn't go anywhere by myself but we needed to eat food is good so I had to eventually leave our 19th floor apartment and go and get a job because I had never set foot in a business course because I majored in music because I didn't know anybody in New York I grew up in a different part of the United States and I had very little confidence and at the risk of stating what you're probably discovering is fairly obvious I am a female my first job was as a secretary to a stockbroker across from my desk there was this bullpen of young male stockbrokers all aspiring to be masters of the universe if they can only get people to open up an account so they would say things like throwing down your pom-poms and get in the game and at first I was a little offended because I had been a cheerleader in high school but after hearing them say this over and over and over again I realized it was time for me to throw down my pom-poms I wouldn't have known to call it this then but that was the beginning of me disrupting myself and that's my message to you today is to disrupt yourself over and over and over again that is how you grow and that is how you manage through disruption now very quickly what do I mean when I say disruptive innovation it's a term we hear a lot well at its simplest it's a silly little thing that takes over the world like the telephone did to the Telegraph the automobile did to the horse-and-buggy more recently we've seen Netflix disrupt blockbuster uber and lyft are disrupting cabs personal disruption not so we're going to talk about today is how you take all of these ideas and you make them meaningful you make them relevant to you and that was my first big insight and working with Clayton Christensen at the Harvard Business School as we co-founded our disruptive innovation fund is that this theory of disruption it isn't just about products it's also about people you start at the bottom of a lie you climb to the top and then you jump to the bottom of a new ladder think about your lives you've already you've disrupted a lot you did this in secondary school you started at the bottom you were refreshed a minute then you get to the top and then you jump to the bottom of a new one and you're at college and your first job and your second job you starts the bottom you climb to the top and then you jump big difference with personal disruption is that your Netflix and your Blockbuster your uber and your calves you're the silly little thing and you take over the world because you are disrupting you that is personal disruption it's a cycle where you learn you leap and then you repeat this is where the s-curve comes in now the s-curve you may be familiar with this it was popularized by Ian Rogers in 1962 and it was used or we used it at our disruptive innovation fund to help us figure out how quickly an innovation would be adopted right now we're using it to track the spread of kovat 19 and what it looks like is it the base of that s growth is slow until you reach a tipping point at which point you enter into hyper growth and then you once you get to the top of the curve you reach the saturation so that's what it looks like and we're using it for investing the second big insight though that I had was that disruption is not just about products it's about people the next big insight was that this s-curve that we were using for investing could also help us understand how we learn it helps us understand how we grow whenever we start something new and we're all starting something new right now we are at the bottom of the s it can be growth is going to feel like a slog it seemed like a good idea but now we're not so sure and so this helps us avoid discouragement and then you accelerating to competence with this comes confidence and engagement and as you approach mastery things will be easy but because you're no longer learning you can get bored so where are you on your Kurtis curve so there's one biggest curve that we're all on the launch point but in your current role in your current job where are you on this curve are you at the base of an s-curve where like I said you thought it was a good idea to be here but now you're not some sure there's days where you come home from work or well you don't come home because you're always at home but there are days where say I feel like I know what I'm doing it feels kind of overwhelming and it takes a lot of time to feel like anything's happening growth seems slow well that when you know that when you know that that's what the s-curve looks like it's gonna help you avoid discouragement are you in the sweet spot where it's hard but it's not too hard it's easy but it's not too easy you're you're exhilarated you feel like you're exactly where you're supposed to be this is the right role the right job the right opportunity for you right now this is the sweet spot of the s-curve or are you at the height of the herd where you thought this was the right role it did feel really good and I was learning a lot but my growth has started to slow down I'm starting to feel kind of bored I'm no longer enjoying the feel-good effects that come with learning and so now I've got this dilemma do I jump or don't I jump that's what personal disruption looks like is that dilemma I've learned now it's time for me to leap and repeat so let's chat about this for just a second in your current role where are you on the s-curve of learning are you at the launch point are you at the sweet spot are you the high end of the s-curve and Emil I'm gonna let you manage the chat and just see what you're seeing and what's coming in and share it with everybody so we can sort of see where people are launch point sweet spot or high end of the s-curve absolutely let's see so as mentioned before you guys can insert your answer in the in the question functionality here on GoToWebinar for now and as you're doing and you might you might not be ready to sort of shout it out to the world one of the things you're going to discover as you may have discovered already as you're thinking through this is that you can be on a lot of different s-curves at once so you think about your life is an s-curve and I want you to all picture me because I'm drawing this with my hands your life is an s-curve your career is an s-curve and then you can have a job within you know if you're a company for 15 years you might have different s curves you as a partner as a parent that's an S curve and then rolls and projects can be S curve so it's this fractal where there's s curves with in s curves the thing I want you to be thinking about right now is where are you on your current s curve of learning all right so emile if there aren't any comments I will proceed ya know we have a few comments I think it's pretty much an equal distribution between all the three different options yeah wonderful okay so got a number of you who are in the sweet spot a number of you and the engagement and mastery one of the things I will tell you just very quickly what we found or finding in our research is that if you're trying to optimize a team or even in an organization to be able to grow most quickly we typically want this distribution of a bell curve where you've got about 70 percent of your people on the in the engagement part of the curve 15 percent of your people who are in the inexperienced part of the curve and then 15 percent of your people and the high end of the s-curve so that's that's how we grow you learn leave and repeat and you disrupt yourself if you want to go up you disrupt I in saying that I I want to be clear I don't want to minimize what is happening right now there a lot of the disruptions are taking place are as I said at the very beginning it's very challenging it's very difficult for many many people pretty much actually for everybody but very different reasons what we also know though is history has taught us that we've been disrupted over and over again were incredibly resilient and as a consequence of those disruptions we more resources than ever before even ten years ago think about it we would not be able to be having the conversation that we are having right now so I love this quote it's from Thomas trove about a hundred and twenty years ago he said life ultimately consists in circulation whether within the physical body of the individual or on the scale of the entire solar system circulation means a continual flowing around where you're learning and you're leaping and repeating so that's the framework at a high level what does this now look like and we've talked about we've been disrupt and wrong a brand new ask her what are some tips what are some suggestions for you to manage through this disruption well in our research we've identified seven accelerants that allow you to move along this s-curve systematically and effectively we'll take each of them in turn there are seven of them I'm going to touch on all of them lightly I'll talk about three in particular that I think are especially relevant in the moment that we're in so the first is to take the right kinds of risks two kinds of risks I'll mention the first is competitive risk competitive risk is there's a big opportunity for junctions to prove it now you just have to figure out if you can compete you can win market risk is you don't know if there's an opportunity but if there is an opportunity then there's no competition you're used to thinking about this in the context of your company your organization but this also applies to you as an individual let me give you a quick example of what that can look like first of all you can picture or you can imagine it by thinking well market risk is I don't know if there's an opportunity meaning I'm gonna play where no one else is playing and if it works out if it turns out that there is a market then there's not going to be any competition and we know from the theory of disruptive innovation and innovators dilemma written by Clayton Christensen is that when you play where no one else is playing when you take on market versus competitive risk your odds of success are six times higher and your revenue opportunity is twenty times greater just a very simple example of this if any of you follow basketball you're familiar with Steph Curry one of the things that he has made a career out of taking market risk well how you say how you might be asking well he figured out how to perfect the three-point shot so the three-point shot historically no one figured out how to defend against the three-point shot because no one could make those three-point shots the percentages were so low it wasn't worth doing it competitive risk there wasn't any competitive risk so Steph Curry says I'm gonna play where no one else is playing I'm gonna take on market risk and by doing that by perfecting that instead of being in the crowded key under the basket that competitive risk he took on market risk as you know he is a superstar now if you want to drill down on this idea for you individually on taking on the right risks on taking on market risk we've got a 30-minute episode that goes into this in great detail the thing that I want you to remember about taking on market risk is right now there are solo many opportunities to play where no one else is playing more than is typical and so this is a great chance for you to play where no one else is playing to take on market risk and when you do your odds of success are going to be six times higher so that's the first thing that I really want you to be thinking about is this idea of how do I create vs. compete because we know that amateurs compete and professionals create now once you take on that market risk you walk through the door of your market opportunity by playing to your distinctive strengths and this is the second accelerant or guardrail because right now we kind of need guardrails like me up at the top of that mountain this is the second one and a distinctive strength is something you do well that other people don't like the Koala that cuddly little animal it sleeps 20 hours a day so you're like well if I sleep 20 hours a day how am I gonna be able to survive well it survives because it eats something no other animal pretty much no human can eat it eats eucalyptus leaves which are poisonous so this is its they did strength what's interesting about our strengths is that we don't actually know what they are I'll tell you why in just a minute before we do that I'm going to give you a clue to figure out what they are and that is to start paying attention to compliments you've got compliments people give you compliments pretty frequently actually but you dismiss them you say oh no that no no no that was nothing you know that nothing is something that you do uniquely well it's likely your superpower you need to pay attention to it because if you'll pay attention to it you'll be able to disrupt yourself and therefore managed through disruption the thing about your strengths is because they're so reflexive they're so easy for you you don't really notice them and even if you do notice them you don't value them now what's unusual about the era that we're living in right now is that because we're kind of in a bind we're feeling like we don't quite know what to do and we're we're in that difficult place our strengths that we sometimes ignore start to come out to play because we revert to the default and the default are our strengths and so just pay attention peak to the right and the left and you'll see your strengths coming out and then use them deliberately so people tend to undervalue what they are and overvalue what they are not if you want to manage through disruption you need to start valuing what you are and when you value what you are you feel strong because that's a strength and then you're willing to play or no one else is playing and then you're willing to eat or no one else is eating and you can be the only thing eucalyptus eater in town so you're playing where no one else is playing you're playing to your distinctive strengths and now you're like okay I've got this momentum I'm moving up the s-curve well not right now right now it feels like you don't have momentum it feels like you've got a lot of constraints those things that are stopping you from moving of the assets curve but the reality is that's exactly what you need oops podcasts on this as well I think it's episode 120 if you don't want to go into strength alright so now let's go to constraints so what's interesting is we know it's a law of physics that you need something to bump up against you need to have friction if you're going to make progress and I'm give you a couple of quick examples as I want you to think about right now you're probably thinking I don't have enough of fill in the blank I don't know what it is but I can guarantee that you're thinking I don't have enough of something so here's how I want you to start thinking about reframing this if you've ever seen this film you know that there are some iconic scenes well what's interesting about these very famous scenes that they came about because of constraints so Steven Spielberg he's making this movie he doesn't have enough money he's completely over budget he's completely out of time because a mechanical shark that he wants to use it doesn't work so he finally has to shoot all the scenes from the Sharks point of view and let the music and our imagination do the rest without those constraints it could have been sort of other than that movie but with them it's become a classic so be thinking about that with those constraints it's become a classic example number two there was a post-mortem of 200 failed startups they divided them into funded startups and unfunded startups so you're thinking all right well what happened well the number one reason that the funded startups went out of business they ran in a cash they had enough money and they ran out of cash it was only the number ten reason for the unfunded startups example number three skateboarders they are some of the quickest learners in the world because they receive incredibly fast and useful feedback every action every move has an immediate consequence so the question is skateboarders Speilberg startups successful in spite of or because of their constraints one other quick piece research on this we just interviewed Kelly goldsmith she's a professor at Vanderbilt University for our podcast one of the things she found is that when people are in a constrained situation when they're feeling like there's scarcity sometimes they engage in behavior compensatory behavior but sometimes they go into problem-solving mode they think more abstractly how am I going to figure this out and we right now with the constraints that we have have an opportunity to say what how do I sort of go into 10,000 foot level and think about things differently I love this quote from Clayton Christensen my mentor he said he said this about the Great Recession but I think it's also true now he said that it would have an unmitigated positive impact on innovation because when the tension is greatest and resources are limited people are actually a lot more open to rethinking the fundamental way that they do business did you know that 51% this isn't now but a few years ago according to the Kauffman Foundation 51% of all the fortune 500 companies were started during a recession or a bear market or both 41% of all of the major companies and I can't remember the actual index right now but 41% of them were started by people who were immigrants to the United States not native-born Americans and you know why that is at least that's why I think it is is because as an immigrant moving to another country you have learned to deal with constraints you have learned to figure out how to do something with nothing for a disrupter a constraint is not a check on absolute freedom it is a tool of creation so the thing that I want you to be thinking about as you're we've all been disrupted how are you going to use what you think you don't have enough of in order to create something to take on market risk to play where no one else is playing leveraging your strengths so that's guardrail slash accelerant number three let's go to number four but before we do that if you want to ask questions during the Q&A think about what's something that you're curious about at this point and what about this information to you is what about this information thus far is useful to you and the reason that I'm asking that question is that when we start thinking about what's useful are bringing basically tags that puts a post-it note on that information and when you put a post-it a mental post-it note on that information then your brain starts thinking okay so what can I do with this it moves in a problem-solving mode so instead of it just being information coming in it starts to be something you can act on and learn and therefore move up your current s-curve okay so let's continue number four is battle entitlement and what what do I mean when I say this it means battling the belief that we think that we're either better or worse than someone else it's believing that all of us are truly created equal with all the same opportunity to to life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness that's what I mean by battling entitlement and the reason that we need to battle our sense of entitlement is that when we believe that we're better than other people or even worse than other people we're competing with them as opposed to being taking on market risks and creating but we need to battle our entitlement if we want to climb the curve so what are some ways that we battle it well there are three antidotes that I'm going to share I'm putting up my fingers three count them three out of your mind so the first one oh sorry before I get there research says this is really interesting the more successful we are the more we think we deserve our success isn't it that interesting so sometimes I'll have people say to me well I you know I've worked really hard I've earned everything I have but we know from the research that the more successful we are the more we start to believe start to believe our own press clippings we deserve our success okay now let's go to the antidotes first off is this idea of people not objects so what do I mean when that well let's say right now you have a person who's working for you and they're not quite getting everything done and you're like what is their problem they're not delivering what way I need to them to deliver that's making them an object instead of asking yourself huh maybe I should figure out what's going on just the other day I was talking to someone and he was saying they had a person on their team they were doing all their work on a barstool and their kitchen counter for 12 hours a day not optimal in that moment the person becomes on an object but a person or maybe you've got a manager and you're like hey manager you're not paying attention to me I need your attention not recognizing that they've got four children at home trying to home-school single parent trying to manage all of that and saying in that moment you move when you look at that oh they're not an object supporting actor in my hero of the story play but they are a person another way you could think about that is if you're out out and about instead of a social distancing because it's safe for you to do it are we being entitled there are lots of different ways we can do it but what we want to think about is how am I in this moment right now treating the person that I'm interacting with as a person not an object super important super super valuable and again when we do that we're creating we're not competing second thing is and this is built on the work of Tasha Urich is to ask what not why questions if I truly believe that we are all equal then I'm not going to ask questions like why did this happen to me if I believe that it's why wouldn't this happen to me and the silence those my questions they make us a victim and they don't serve us so it's much better for us to for us to a school so what am I going to do now and what meaning do I want to make of this because it's those question is the what meaning do I want to make of this what do I want to do that is the stuff of personal disruption this is how we transform third antidote is gratitude I love this quote from Erica is written during the Great Depression a hundred almost a hundred years ago he said the hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings and I want to tell you a personal story around this because I think it's really important and powerful so 2012 came around on the concepts powerful I don't know if you'll think my story's powerful but the concept of gratitude is powerful so here's the story it's 2012 it was a bad year so work was really bad really tough financially things were really tough we were like on the brink of bankruptcy my younger brother commits suicide and my husband is diagnosed with cancer my husband's okay just so you know so it's bad it's really bad and so I had to ask myself I had to figure out what am I gonna do cuz part of me was just like angry like this isn't fair why did this happen to me and I had in that year I had in that moment I had always heard the expression you know you get what you get you don't throw a fit but I realized that in that moment I needed to be grateful not because it was the right thing to do I realized that I could be bitter about what was happening or I could be grateful and if I were bitter it was going to destroy me that the only way through again the only way to manage your disruption is to disrupt yourself the only way for me to manage through this was to be grateful it was the only way so I want you to think about what you're grateful for and I also want you to think about what in your life to date has prepared you to manage through this disruption cuz guaranteed every single one of you has had something really hard happen and it's prepared you to manage - what we're doing right now it's given you a muscle it's given you a skill set an important skill set an important muscle is for us to learn how to be grateful ok next one this is the next a long one and then we're going to kind of shoot and race to the end and we're gonna open up to a Q&A okay so step back to grow are you crouched before jump you bring your fists back to punch personal disruption involves moving sideways and involves moving backwards it involves moving down to outside observers when you make the choice to do it it frequently looks like this but sideways and backwards frequently can turn into a slingshot now let me tell you a couple of stories or a couple of stories couple of examples for you to think about this step back in order to grow the first one is a friend of mine in Bali off shar in this instance he was pushed and a lot of us are being pushed right now so I'm going to tell you this story because I want you to think about how am I being pushed back and what am I going to do with this so fellas working as a software engineer at a company called in terraces and you know testing the quality of software sort of day in and out testing testing testing he gets a new boss the new C CTO and his boss says to him alright follow you know what here's what I'm gonna do I'm gonna take away a lot of your engineering responsibilities that sounds like a step back to me and I'm also gonna have you to move into customer service customer support a lot of companies and that feels like a step back to a lot of people his boss says to him most customers they don't really care about features they don't really care about pricing what they care about support and I know you don't want me to do this but this is going to make the difference it's going to be a career changer for you a career maker for you so valid takes on the role because Bob that's who valla is over the next couple of years he ends up managing seven call centers has a P&L of 200 million dollars on his boss now who was CTO now becomes a CEO and it comes to fall and he says you know what we need a new chief marketing officer and it turns out you don't only know the software but you're really good at being customer facing so we're gonna make you the chief marketing officer step back to slingshot forward goes on to be really successful today he is the chief digital evangelist at salesforce.com he says had his boss not required him to take that step back he would be still testing software right now all of us have been forced to take a step back what are we going to you do to help us slingshot forward well one thing that's going to help us do that is to take time to reflect we spend a lot of time on zoom every single day one of the most important things that we can do is to zoom out take time what am i learning what does this mean even if you're drooling only one minute a day what worked what didn't that's going to allow you to make a meaning of this experience so that you're not just being disrupted you're in a position to disrupt going forward another way to put a finer point on this is this idea of a tech Shabbat Tiffany Shlain wrote a book called 24-6 she talks about this idea of unplugging once a week and then she says and this is fascinating she says that rest is a technology specifically she says the promise of technology is that it makes things efficient it saves time it allows us to get things done by giving you a complete day off each week from screens from responsibilities from being available letting you reflect and connect text shabbat becomes the ultimate technology you step back in order to slingshot forward we are in a unique time a possibly we hope never to happen again in our lifetime sort of time you you have up until now up until a few months ago on the grid people of your life you were moving over 1 up 1 over 1 up 1 when you disrupt yourself what happens is that maybe on the y-axis of success you were at a 12 and you're removing that over 1 up 1 over 1 up 1 but when you disrupt you move down that y-axis of success to an 8 to a 7 because you believe that over time it will be over 1 up 3 or over 1 of 5 or over 1 ten that step back that time to reflect can be a slingshot you can step back to slingshot into who you can be this is the time we've been disrupted to take this time and figure this out all right last two I'm going to go through these quickly and then we're going to talk about questions so this gift the migrants do we're gonna make a lot of mistakes right now a lot of mistakes in fact if you look at it you'll see oh yeah I'm making a lot of mistakes and whenever we start something new there's this fantasy of a simple linear world beginning of 2020 January January 1st 2020 you know I'm gonna make X Y & Z happen and you know there will be this the linear path and I will be hail the conquering hero and sometimes that just does not happen my moments of humiliation include bombing speeches in front of will not speeches loving a speech in front of hundreds of people being fired from a job and backing investing in a business that imploded when we fail and we will all continue to fail we need to take a moment take a step back to grieve because that grief that feeling that we have around it is the same energy that we need in order to move forward but then we have to ditch the shame because when we buy into shame we allow failure to become a referendum on you on your identity on your sense of self and it is shame that limits your ability to disrupt it's not failure think about it you all we all fail all the time every day and most the time we made a mistake let's keep going it's the shame that we attach the failure that actually holds us back so if you are struggling with shame we all do to a lesser or greater extent this is the time for you to do that in her work and ditch the shame because when you can do that you can iterate and every time something doesn't work as a piece of information that allows you to get better faster and move up that s-curve more quickly again you want to manage to disruption you disrupt yourself failure is a constraint it's a tool of creation so failure it's due but choose success especially right now number seven this is the last one so be driven by discovery as a person who is choosing to disrupt yes we've been disrupted but you can still choose to disrupt you are going to you're trying to figure out this yet to be defined market because you're playing or no one else plan you have a purpose but how you're going going to get there is yet to be determined you're basically you are an explorer which means you're going to end up somewhere it didn't expect you won't be alone seventy percent of all successful new businesses like a Netflix end up in a very different place from where they started Korn ferry did a study to come up with the leading predictors of people who could be successful in the c-suite technical skills yep they're important that the leading predictors were the ability to take a step forward to gather feedback and then adapt we all make plans for the future whether you are trying to cross a continent go across the ocean traveling through outer space or navigate through the next week you don't know when it's going to look like you're gonna end up in a place that you hadn't expected so we just need to be willing when we can't plan and we can't take a step forward gather feedback and then a doubt this is the framework you take the right risks you played your distinctive strengths you embrace your constraints battle entitlement step back to grow give failure it's do and be discovery driven at the top of the curve at the bottom of the curve and everywhere in between so I have a few final remarks but we have time we have about five minutes for questions um question for you is what was most useful to you what was useful to you so you might have a question you want to ask but you can also just include in the chat box as you were listening and contemplating and reflecting what was it useful to you and you'll I'll turn that over to you and it's to moderate before we go to this three or four minutes of closing remarks yes absolutely we have two questions about the s-curve and the first one is from Antonio he says as a director in charge of innovation I feel personally like we're in the sweet spots but many times it also feels that we are in the inexperienced pace since all is changing and you apparently need to relearn all so he separates the personal disruption to and and and compares that with how he feels his organization is doing so this is more of a comment maybe you can elaborate on that oh yeah that's really interesting so so so Antonio it sounds like if I'm hearing correctly that you feel like for you and your or so actually so Emile did he say that Antonio sending people like he personally is in the sweet spot is that what he said it could be a misspelling here but it feels like I'm personally in the in the sweet spot I don't feels like we are personally yeah okay so yeah I mean so a couple of things there Antonio I think this is really good because if you think about my name or the sweet spot you know enough but not too much so you're capable of asking questions like why do we do it like this but you're also you've got enough experience and expertise to say well I think I can answer that question as well we also know that people who are on the launch point of that s-curve there are a lot of things that they don't know how to do and so there's a lot of training that has to take place and that's one of the challenges of where we are in the world right now is when you've got people the launch point of the curve they need training they need manager and any guidance well when you've got the whole world at the launch point of the s-curve we don't have that happening so makes it more complicated but the thing that a launch point person or the inexperienced person can do is they can say and ask why do we do it like this if will allow them to ask those questions because we have to make sure that we give them the space to ask those questions otherwise they won't ask them but they can ask that why do we do it like that makes it very useful those questions are very useful for people who are in the sweet spot who can start to answer those questions and especially people who are a high-end whom are saying well this is how we do it they can say well why do we do it like that and so people at the high end can help establish the baseline say well we tried this we tried that but you know that's interesting why don't we play with this so they've got the tribal knowledge so so what you want to do you is yes if you're in the sweet spot you want to stay there as long as you possibly can if you've got a lot of people at the launch point they need training but they also need for you to value their inexperience and ideally in your organization you're going to have as many people in the sweet spot as possible a few at the launch point and then also a few at the high end who can act as anchors or stabilizers for everybody else who's coming up along the curve so on so anyway those are some thoughts and what else in the old do you have yeah we had a very similar question I think you might covered it it's from Richard he says how to deal with insecurities that go with making the next jump on the s-curve okay so um so one of the things that happens when we get to the top of the s-curve is you you could feel it like you you so you might have been in a role for she didn't doing that same project for three or four years so the times telling you it might be time to do something new but you also as I said you're not learning quite as much as you were you're getting bored you find yourself saying a lot that's not how we do it here which are all signals so you know it's time but again you've got this dilemma because if you jump it's gonna be kind of scary so one of the things that we can do to deal with our insecurities is number one is to you as you're thinking about jumping to that new s-curve is look at who you're going to be working with are these people who make it possible for others to learn who make it possible for others to ask questions like why do we do it like this so that you sort of look at what cool am I going to jump into right so what are you are you gonna hire to be your boss and colleagues but the second thing that you can do to help overcome that insecurity is sometimes more thing about jumping we're thinking well if I jump it's gonna be exciting well that's actually not very motivating we know from loss aversion theory Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky is that we're actually almost two and a half times I think two point two times to be two point two two times to be specific more motivated by what we lose than by what we gain so one of the ways that we can overcome our insecurities is instead of saying to ourselves okay here's what's good thing is gonna happen to me if I jump to new s-curve instead say to ourselves what are the bad things that are gonna happen to me if I don't jump so for example if I don't jump I might get complacent and everybody get complacent get pushed off I mean I might get fired or I might be bored out of my mind or and go you know or my children will see that my my father has stagnated and he's not as happy and when he comes home he's not as happy and you know and on and on so you start playing out the negative things because there's no such thing as standing still so look at the pool that you would be diving into who are the people that you would be hiring to do your colleagues anger manager but then you also motivate yourself by saying uh what bad thing could happen to me if I don't jump and then finally acknowledge this thing inside of you and I'll talk about this in just a minute if we don't jump in we know we need to we die inside just a little bit and no one wants to die inside a little bit that's again part of the opportunity of us all having been disrupted if we will let it it will allow us to come alive again in ways that we haven't been for before possibly for a time should we take one more question Emil and then I'll wrap yep yep sure and this is a question from from us and bright-line actually so one of the most important things when you transform in an organization is to transform the people then please so how can an organization from an organization standpoint how can leaders in organization convince their employees to change with them you know and disrupt destruct themselves as the organization disrupt itself yeah okay so I think what I would say is the starting point is if you're a leader and you're trying you're saying okay I need my people to so I'm a leader I want to have a hybrid organization or we are a high-growth organization but I need my people to be high-growth as well I think the starting place is that you are modeling that behavior so modeling the behavior in that you know you it might be something of like I've been in a role for four years and I make the decision to disrupt myself and go do something new inside the organization so that I'm opening up this case for a person who reports to me who's in the sweet spot move into the high-end they asked her for example it's simple things like when you make a mistake you apologize and say huh I didn't really handle that well I apologize because that's personal disruptions well that's battling our sense of entitlement and so when you start to model in those micro actions the day-to-day interaction of how you treat people people as people not objects but when you ask and then you also model on a sort of larger way of you've got people on your team or at the top of their s-curve and they want to jump they want to do something new and you allow them to do it and you don't hoard the talent you're also making it your you're sending a very clear message that you yourself are willing to change and are committed to disrupting yourself and therefore you expect the people on your team to do the same which includes things like apologizing not being addicted to being right then you make it possible for people on your team to disrupt and go do potentially something else inside of the organization and as you start to model that behavior of what you're trying to do and you make it safe for other people to change make it safe for other people to disrupt then that bottom-up starts to move from a sort of small wave into the swell of a very large way that allows you to have that growth that you want in your organization great ok very nice very good answer yeah so we have a few other questions but I know we need to be respectful of everyone's time here so Whitney please feel free to wrap it up all right thank you for those bright questions antonio and richard and so one of the things that no one tells you uh I mean the textbooks certainly do not not tell you is that disruption is its by definition it's lonely we talked about this you're playing where no one else is playing and it's it's kind of scary and when and the reason it's scary is that whenever you leave you're comfortable perch like this status quo doing what you've always done and these questions your pushes touched on this there's this there's this moment of freefall and loss of identity and the PE the puke to excitement ratio it's so uncomfortably high you feel like you're on a thrill ride to zero it does not though mean you shouldn't disrupt it just means if it's scary and lonely you're on the right path always learning okay problema Symphony ASAP nd so hey you're always learning we give a lot of airtime to building and buying disruptive companies we should we want to be agents of disruption but what we know is that if you're going to be an agent of disruption if you are going to manage through change first become its subject you start at the low end the launch point of that s-curve you shift into gear to scale and when you're learning piece or crests you do what all great disruptors do you walk straight into that dilemma and you leap to a new curve because your organization your company Amil as you just said cannot disrupt unless you do thank you very much everyone so such a pleasure to be with you Thank You Emil and

Wv_X1lNLtn4 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wv_X1lNLtn4 | Principles of Unarmed Civilian Peacekeeping: Nonviolent Peaceforce | We're often challenged using the term peacekeepers because the United Nations peacekeepers have the track record - almost the brand - for the term peacekeeper. So, it's really true that in South Sudan we use the term "protection." We don't want to make an issue over the name. We call ourselves peacekeepers elsewhere. We think it fits. We're there to reduce violence as well as to protect civilians. It doesn't really matter what we're called. Our basic principles are - that we are nonviolent. It's more than being unarmed. But, we never carry weapons. We never resolve conflicts by force or manipulation. We respect the primacy of local actors. That means they're the ones who make the decisions of what needs to happen. We are civilian to civilian. We uphold the primacy of civilian immunity in war. A very important principle that these days is just being left aside. And we are independent. That means - when we take money from an entity to pay our peacekeepers, our peacekeepers are paid, that we get that money from someone who doesn't have a vested interest in the country where we are. So, for example, we could not take money from the United States government, should they decide they want to give us money, from the United States government because the United States government is supporting the Philippine Army. Now, that conflict has been - there is a peace process ongoing so that's being resolved. We still would not take money from the U.S. government but Belgium and Germany and Norway and some other - European Union - have all been very generous in supporting our peacekeepers. Same way in South Sudan. No issues with United States support but wherever we are, we look to be independent. Even when we're funded by the United Nations, we're still an independent, private organization. And, finally, we are nonpartisan. And that means we don't take sides with any of the armed parties. We don't take sides in the civilian factions, either. There are many different opinions, and that's what's so good about human rights is if you're doing this in a peaceful way, everybody's protected. Everybody has the right to influence their government and to speak their mind and to have basic human civil rights. We don't make judgments about good guys and bad guys, this position is the right one, because we have to maintain the support of everybody in the dialogue, in the discussion that makes things happen. | PeaceVoiceTV | UC-knc0hUG0d7Dcuxxq_TSZA | 2014-04-03 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 415 | 2,419 |

c1YZEIrsxSU | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1YZEIrsxSU | Cultivating Colour: a pigment garden for peasant painting: episode one | here we are in the sierra maria los belas natural park i'm going to take you on a journey following the construction of a pigment garden which although the journey will begin here in eastern andalusia by following the histories and the stories of the plants themselves it will take us around the world my name's stephen and as a peasant as a painter as a scientist i'm fascinated by pigments from plant plants the site of the garden is on an old water catchment system a traditional strategy for farming such arid land it consists of a series of terraces a well and a balsa or reservoir however the water catchment system no longer works as it should due to a lack of maintenance and here is the well that forms a part of that water catchment system let's have a look inside yep it's completely dry it's been like that for the past 50 years or so since the land was abandoned is a particularly arid area of almeria but this is exasperated by illegal drilling for water for use in intensive farming practices on the plains below which export year-round fruit and vegetables to northern europe so despite the fact that the garden is situated on a water catchment system we are going to have to work with the conditions and carefully select plants that are drought tolerant well it's raining and this is fantastic news here in the national park we have an incredibly dry climate and if the march rains don't come we'll have a big problem for our garden so i for one am delighted here we are on the site of our pigment garden national park the month is march the first seeds we're going to plant are road seeds wode in english yerba pastel or glasto in spanish is artist victoria in latin and as its latin name belies it was traditionally used as a dye it contains the precursors for indigo indigoton and isaten so it produces a blue pigment it was widely cultivated in europe for millennia from as far north as scandinavia to as far south as the mediterranean the plant is believed to have originated in the steps of the caucasus whence it spread east and west becoming two distinct species chinese road and european wood both producing indigo so while it can be cultivated all around europe it displays adaptations for the arid conditions of where it originated having a long tap route which can grow up to five foot long moreover it has a history of being cultivated in andalusia by the moors so taking all these things into account we are hopeful that they may thrive in our garden the seeds have a special coating of a germination inhibiting chemical that is water-soluble this washes off in the spring rains ensuring that the seeds only germinate in a good year it also inhibits other plants around from germinating thus giving it a head start against competitors in this electrochemical analysis of pigment we have extracted from woad previously we can clearly see essatin indigo and indiruben so now we just have to wait to see if the rains continue and our seeds germinate luckily the spring rains are continuing which is great for our garden and our little road seats but also for the whole area last year was the worst drought in 70 years so it is a welcome relief since the well on the water catchment system is currently dry until some maintenance work can be carried out the farm has no water source all the water has to be brought in so the rain is also helping to fill the tanks that supply the house making everyone happy well it's about three and a half weeks later and now it's april and our woad has germinated now this is great news but our only worry is that the soil is very clay rich this means that after the rains have finished it's gone incredibly hard and baked in the sun so we'll have to just see how things go this year but next year i think we'll put some compost into the soil to give it a more open and loose texture well here we are back in the lab in london now you're probably wondering how a green road leaf such as this can be used to make blue pigments shades such as this and this well i'm afraid you're just gonna have to wait until harvest time and our next episode hey | peasantpainter | UCFqpsVYzqOppYsoYKXFr0mw | 2015-06-10 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 762 | 4,108 |

Cbfj8tWYkv0 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cbfj8tWYkv0 | What's in Your Background event info | hello my peace okay so it's been a day um i i have there's so much going on and i am so happy every time my son says he wants to go skate or play or do something but when they're unplugged and they keep intro i anyways that's part of the reason for that uh the other part of the reason for the hat is i always have this reflection like as soon as i look i can see um computer screens reflected in my glasses funny enough these are computer glasses so i guess is that is that how it's meant to be i don't know um so i thought if i wear a hat does that cut down on the reflection and does that somehow mean i won't uh it doesn't didn't help any so we're just gonna give it a minute here while i ramble um well you know what i'm gonna try just a minute oh ho ho ho i'll see there's no reflection though a whole lot brighter but there's still reflection ah go figure okay well let's just get going i'm a few minutes late hello mary um i'm a few minutes late but um that was just because i couldn't make anything work today i've had many distractions many delays you know things taking longer than they're supposed to so i'm just bringing it and then i went down a bit of a rabbit hole over rules and regulations and what can constituted so my research has shown me that the three elements required to be considered gambling in alberta i only have one of them you get a prize um the other two don't apply so there's no purchase and none of this is by chance this is there's an actual purpose to this so i started with that but then i thought i should make sure everybody knows that that's like the deal here so i uh i started googling about disclaimers and rules and to make some oh and good lord the rabbit hole i went down so i'm gonna write something down but um hopefully it won't get too wordy so here's here's the idea let me give you the background on see if you knew what it's called that'd be funny but um the background on a new event that's going to start on monday called what's in your background um so here's how it all started and and i'm going to stay on this view for a little bit and i'm going to go down to my my uh table here but um but i need you to see behind me so when everybody started working from home and um dreaded coped and uh started doing zoom meetings and team meetings and all these different online versions and way more facebook lives and that i noticed it and everybody admits to doing it so that people couldn't help it if if their background wasn't blurred then as soon as you get on a new call with people you would very suddenly sit there and go and you would like scope out everything in their background whether it was just out of curiosity whether you were like oh that's a cool idea i'm going to do that or whether you're just like i didn't know that so it got to be a thing though is of like checking out people's backgrounds and some people got very creative with stuff and some people staged them and there's i saw all sorts of advertisements for what's put in your background what not to put your background and i thought you know what's in my background whatever's on the wall behind me and at one point i had my desk turned a different way and what was behind me was hundreds of stamp sets and what my work calls before i retired um somebody had said wow you really like to read and i said actually those are not books those are stamp sets and they went wow you really like to stamp so you know we get to know each other this way so that's that's part of how it started and then i thought well i should be intentional about this i should start hiding things in the background just to see if people notice them because that's how i roll so then i thought oh this could be fun like we i could work with you could have some fun playing with that and i had once done a scavenger hunt for a different demonstrator who was just hopping through social media and it was it was related i think it was related to st patrick's day or easter or something and so she was hiding words in different things like in the text of what she was writing and the idea was you had to go um like for one thing and at the end she would say so check my instagram out tomorrow and you go to instagram the next day and look for this word and at the end i think it made a sentence or something but it's kind of it's it was cool so i thought i'm going to try something like that and then i thought okay okay let's let's figure out how we can make this work and it originally started out i really i yes i you've heard me say the word bingo so i thought well let's just do it like a bingo game and then so i started looking into how i would need to do this and we're not calling it bingo just because i don't want anybody to assume that it has anything to do with like a traditional game of bingo because not so much um but that's what started me on it so i'm like okay so how many items would i need and how many things and how many puts on the card or not how long it would take and how am i going to show them stuff and then i realized this is going to be a fair bit of work so i thought i got to make this worthless quite honestly i thought i got to make this worth it so then as i'm thinking through it i thought well either way this is good because what i really need is i need some people sorry i'm really elvis and became very self-conscious of the fact that kind of like major half head going on here um what i really need is for people to have a look at my social media because i've been doing a whole bunch of stuff that i've never done before for the last say three four months and and i would like you know some feedback and stuff so i thought well i could get them going through like various different things and that'll work great but now that's that's all about me and this couldn't be all about me because why would anybody want to do it then i thought well no if i could get some feedback that i can improve so the social offerings that i'm putting out there whether it's the monday challenge or tuesday i do show and tell with tracy and i have a newsletter and i have a blog and i have you know pictures and all these different things and the whole intent of all of that is to try to share what i love with you guys because i do love staff but i could sit in my little room here all day long and stamp and craft and make things and just chat with people and you know but i'm trying to find ways to share that and then i'm trying to find ways that are effective so i thought well this one this is good if i can get people to go look at these things then maybe they can comment on them i think i can improve them and maybe it'll be better for you know what i'm offering but i thought well that's so that's good and i mean that's a benefit to both of us then i thought yeah prizes prizes are a benefit to people too so i decided to offer some prizes then it evolved into what it evolved into so basically what we have is an event starting on monday and i may do it once i may do it more than once because really the intent was just to get everybody familiar with stuff and run through things for me and uh give me some feedback and away we go so who knows it could turn out to be lots of fun and i could do it as a regular basis one doesn't know at this point we're calling it an event we're doing it for sure once so i'm hoping that anybody who wants to participate will watch this first and have an idea what's going on but um so you can see right now in my background putting the wrong way right here i have a couple items this was part of the reason that we needed to be full screening and my intent was that if i was doing any kind of a like show and tell or whatever i would start at least at the beginning full screen so it was really easy to see what was on the background but then i thought this will take forever if i just do what's on the background so then i decided well i can i can share the pictures in other ways so i'm going to go really quickly here and switch my view make sure it caught up with me there we go oops i'm over here i'm over the corner um so then i thought well there's other ways we're gonna do this so it's not all just gonna be what's in the background but it's two of the times it's gonna be back up but that's where it all started was hey what's in the background so what's gonna happen is on monday i'm going to make a post as i do on mondays telling you what the monday challenge is now the piece of paper i'm putting down now was the one we did this week that's very odd i have i have two fixed cams going right now on my screen there's one in the corner and then there's me i'm not really sure how that's happening oh the joy the technology okay i'm just gonna roll with it okay so here's the monday challenge for example and i said this was the one from last week so i'm not this is not what it will specifically be but i will post a picture that will say hey here's the monday challenge within that monday challenge there will also be a link that said as if you would like to join the what's in your background event click here to uh to register and get a um a sheet a card i don't know whatever i'm gonna call it so the form is gonna be a mailchimp form and you're basically it'll just pop up a form you're going to go and put your name and address the name and address the addresses so if you enterprise i can mail it to you um name an address and you're going to check off saying yes i understand the rules of this game and there'll be a little thing you can read with the rules and then you're so you're gonna do that and then because i haven't figured out a way to randomly automate the thing um i will email you a pdf that shows you something like this yes why are we on the seven knots in the stream yeah let's see what i was doing now yeah the technology was very wonky today i'm not really sure what's going on okay so then what you'll get is one of these cards it's a piece of paper it's not really a card uh that will show you some stuff there's 16 little items on here now i purposely did not pick stampin up items i did not pick an ink pad or a stamp set or a card um because i didn't want to accidentally confuse anybody by like if i was doing my um show until tuesday and i i had my snail on the table beside my project and snail was one of the squares i did not want to accidentally do that because i would have just thrown everything in because i have figured out what the items are with 24 different different items there's 16 squares on the card so not every card will have the exact same items on it so as soon as as soon as i get them all listed i'm going to write down the order of what i'm going to do so that each day i can look and know what the intent was okay this is what's supposed to go next this is what's supposed to go next so the order will be predetermined the cards will be random you'll randomly get a card so there's no but i didn't all that work that went into that i didn't want to screw it up by having all of a sudden you know a snail or something in it so these are just random pictures i picked for today uh the other pictures are all just like the mentals i have around my house so as we do this i guess you'll get to know me because then i have stuff on there so this is what you're gonna get though is your card and we're gonna do it yes like a bingo game you're gonna the the first thing we're gonna do is anybody who can get a line so if you can get four four items in a row either this way either up and down side to side or one of the two diagonals you get four items you come back onto the the post that i put up that says official bingo post and you tell me hey i got i got a line i double check and make sure away we go and then we're gonna go to like full card which means you have all of the squares filled in you've seen all of the 16 items on your card and um you yell bingo in the comments i guess and away we go so i kind of figured if i if i called six things a week then it would maybe take four weeks it might take less it might take more i really have no idea um i didn't want to do it too fast or too many items um because uh if it's done in three days then nobody will have like people won't have a chance to play like because i don't expect that everybody on monday is gonna go instantly and do everything so i wanted to have like a few days for everybody to figure out what was going on and they start to see random posts because they don't see every single one they'll see what it is go back and look it up figure out what it is kind of catch up and stuff so i wanted it to at least like start slow so i'm going with sticks and we're gonna see how it works um the other thing that i would like though as i said is some feedback so one price for getting the first person to get this straight line one price for the full card slightly bigger than the first one and then and i haven't um i have to double check something on the prizes before i say what the prizes are but um we're talking like embellishment stamp set dsp bundle something in that range and then the third prize is going to go for everybody who comments so if you go on to the monday challenge and you comment that you're looking forward to trying this one or you post a card on a friday that says hey i've done this or you comment at all on any of this stuff and and i'm happy to have even if you send me a private message that says um i'd like i like this event you need to give me more time to do it or i like this event but um it's not working or i like your inspiration but could you do more mystery cards or more sketch challenges versus pictures like any kind of feedback any kind of participation any kind of engagement in these posts um i will each time you do that like so for each event if you post 10 times in one facebook live you get one entry um because otherwise i don't want people to feel like they have to post a post to post a boost of books because i'll never be able to keep up with that many comments so that's what we're going to do we're going to have the prizes and then once so once the full card is announced that we'll announce that and then i will take all the people's names who commented which i'm gonna try to keep it running to all your people's names to put in there and then uh you have to be registered though you can't just comment you have to be registered go in get the uh get the card sign off on the events and do it and then we'll do once i've done it the first time i'll look at it again and see you know do people enjoy it because i i'm entertained by the idea of doing this and by hiding things in the background and such um but maybe not everybody is so let's see how it works so on monday i'm gonna post you're going to go in and register and get a card and let's say this is your card oh and here we go with the freezing again well darn it i don't understand why this keeps doing this if i stare at it and do nothing because i have no idea what i'm back i have no idea why my camera that goes onto my desk it's freezing alrighty i'm gonna get i take a picture i was trying to get profile pictures i do not like having my picture taken and so i had a picture where i was like hmm i think i'm going to put that as my profile picture for next week because still technology baffles me okay so now i'm going to do this a different way then it's going to be entertaining okay so on monday i'm gonna post and you're gonna be like ooh i would love to try this event so you're gonna go on and you're gonna go to the link and you're gonna sign up to get a card and you're gonna get one of these cards and now i have lots of reflections so let's see how it works to make it not reflect there we go so you're going to see it and you're going to notice that monday we'll have some form of a challenge on it so monday's going to have like a challenge right and i this will be in the instructions of when things will be posted so there'll be a picture on facebook which will then be posted to um pinterest afterwards for those people who don't do facebook and beside it let's say there's a picture that looks like this so here's the monday challenge pick a card that's inspired by this here's a picture of a box of onion soup if you like onion soup it was kind of random but nonetheless the point was to not confuse it within the ipod so you see that on monday so then you will look at your card and oh look at this down here in the corner we have a box of onion soup so doing whatever you want remember in the in the good old days i remember going to bingo once and i was scared of the women beside me because i i accidentally put my hand in their space and made a comment about um oh look at the cute little gnome or whatever it was that she had and i got my hat too close and that was her lucky totem and whoo and so she barked at me and then i was just like i was scared i kind of just sat like this i didn't want to move my arms too much i don't want to get too close but he said like 50 cards going i had four i think um but it was back in the good old days where you had daubers that you used to stamp your card as you went um i have no idea if people still want i mean smaller we don't have stamps and ink um can you see that i just circled it just some way of indicating that oh look i saw an onion soup i have onion soup on my card and then the next day it's tuesday now it's tuesday so now we're going to go in and and i'm going to show you some show tell and i'm going to show you some great thing of how to do something and so you're going to come in and i'm going to start the facebook live preferably without my hat on um like this so that you can see above me there happens to be a container of salt i was going to use the pepper but the salt is almost full the pepper is almost empty so i didn't think the pepper would show up very well but as it turns out it doesn't salt but trust me there's a container of salt so i'm going to look at my little card and go oh i just have to have a container of salt on my card oh look at that there's a jar of peanut butter oh look i have a jar of peanut butter on my card so this would have been so much better if my desk camera hadn't frozen but so now you can see i have three things circled on my card so this is what we're gonna do we're just gonna hum along until the first person posts and says um i i gotta i have a straight line i have whatever so as i send you your card i will keep track of what your card looks like um but in the end it might just be you show you like send me a picture of your circled card or whatever or if you want to stamp on it you want to put axes on it however you can to indicate i will have a list of what was called and in what order so when you show me your card i'll be able to tell you if it was right or not so here's intent there's going to be one picture in the monday challenge post there's going to be two items on the shelf behind me for the facebook live on tuesday which as soon as i'm done the facebook live and i say as soon as it takes me a few minutes sometimes to get the video to download and move it over and such but as soon as i'm done i post it on youtube so it'll be facebook or youtube for the videos um on wednesday there's going to be a picture of an item in my newsletter on thursday there's going to be a different item on the shelf behind me when i do my next facebook live and on saturday morning there's going to be a picture of an item in my blog post so that's how we're gonna get six things and that's how we're gonna try out a bunch of different stuff so if you do facebook stuff's generally on facebook first because it's easiest let's face it um but whatever goes on facebook also goes on either pinterest or youtube depending whether it's a picture or a video and then mail list for the newsletter blog address so for the first week especially i'm going to make a point of saying my blog has posted today haven't seen it here's the link um and i think i might just put all of those addresses now that i say that on the sheet that comes with your card that kind of gives you the basic rules i might just put all the links on there just so people know where to find stuff but as i said i thought it would be fun to like mess around with what's in the background um i thought it would be a nice way to have a review of social media and social offerings and see what people like to do like because i said i've been about three or four months of trying different things um and now i'd like to kind of get an idea what's what's working and what's not i can keep doing what works for me but that doesn't really help you guys yet i would rather help you guys and help me um i got a craft room full of stuff i don't need any help i have all the fun i want um let me see what else that i read on my little thing just to make sure i'm saying everything i wanted to say um i am going to put this as you have to be 18 plus and you have to be in canada to do this um as far as i can tell from checking everything online which i said i went down um it's not gambling or anything but i think i'm better off for the trial run to stick with those rules just to make sure so canada 18 plus uh sorry to anybody else who sees this that's not in canada or not that old um but yeah so if you have any questions let me know um i have a feeling i might be answering a lot more of them in the first couple days as i try to make it all make sense but i'm hoping that all of the posts that i do in the first little bit and i said i'll explain it a bit more in my newsletter and um that it all makes sense in the end it all started with the hey what's in the background hey that's cool and let's see what it if it evolves into something that works as i was hoping so that is what's in your background um i'm going to try one more time just because i i'm really curious why my desk camera freezes so and that every everything i do is a different um there's a different uh a different amount of screen and video oh i just made it worse so that's not good [Music] nope okay i give up we'll go back to this one maybe we there we are okay yeah i'm gonna have to figure out what's going on with that okay so i've shown this before and i will post it afterwards because this is not a very uh i got lots of reflection on it but these little boxes here are the paper pump paper pumpkin add-on for january so the kit has already closed the kit is supposed to ship out today it was a few days delay but it's supposed to ship out today so everybody the paper pumpkin you should be getting it next week i find that whatever day it ships within two or three days at the most because it comes by pure later um appear later it's on my it's on my doorstep so it doesn't generally take very long so i'm fully expecting one to come next week i'm very excited about heart-shaped cards cool stuff that add-on these little boxes they had originally said that they wouldn't be available until the 25th of january but whatever shipment delayed the paper pumpkin by a few days they also managed to in an attempt to get that all to speed back up again they managed to get the other ones faster so those kits are those um add-ons are actually available today so i will be putting in an order on sunday so if anybody wants to add theirs on just to uh save save some money on shipping um you can the add-on is 13.75 plus shipping and tax like 10 shipping plus tax so it's probably gonna be about 16 bucks and what you get is 20 boxes 20 of the heart-shaped tags and 10 yards of the gold twine to tie them on the boxes are one and three-quarters square so they're a little bit smaller that we've had the clear boxes and the craft boxes the little tiny squares and then this the ones i thought i had on my desk actually not that long ago there's the ones that are in the current catalog that are like a white bottom with the gold top those boxes are all about two by two so this is just a little bit smaller than those boxes that we've had in the past but they're adorable they have exynos embossed onto them and they're just adorable and you get 20 of them so if you're making classic streets or for anybody who actually goes to an office still if you're like want to put little things on people's desks or a little like you know just somethings uh you get 20 of them so that's a pretty good deal so yes if you want me to add on some of those to the order let me know if you'd like to get some free celebration stuff you just have to take your 13.75 and order you know five or six of them and get up on the sixty dollar mark or you if there's other stuff you want to add on to the order uh for every sixty dollars you spend right now you get celebration so that's a bonus too so there you go what's in your background into paper boxes and uh thanks for joining me on a friday night um i hope you guys have a fabulous weekend and i'm looking forward to monday and to see uh see what fun we can have starting on monday with our what's in your background event so have a great weekend everybody thanks for joining me | Paper Pusher TV |

80t5DetYkfk | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80t5DetYkfk | Kate's Clothing Bogof Deal Necessary Evil Xmas gifts | [Music] hi guys welcome back to nygma 7cm review so yes I've got rid of the Christmas backdrop because technically for me Christmas is over I'm a bit of a I love to get the Christmas decorations up I love the whole Christmas feel I love the lead-up to Christmas not so much the expense but the whole decorations and the nice warm cozy nights but now I can't wait to pull the whole lot down so I have cleaned my studio guys I have got a couple of things a lot but they will be going and I've gone back for the winter backdrop because technically we're still in winter Suk is trying to get in my room and I'm just going to ignore it so guys um I've had a delivery and this was something that I purchased with the rest of my Christmas money I tried to spread my money out as much as I could and obviously I got a little bit more money for Christmas my family and stuff which I was really really pleased about so guys I won't be doing what I got for Christmas a whole big video because there's no way in the world I'm going to look for things that I've had for the past three or four weeks yeah it's a showcase I will come back and do like some reviews on the things once I've worn my stuff one of the items I got for Christmas is actually on which is the kill star top that I got including this scarlet in chains necklace I also got this for Christmas well I showcase a lot of my items on the lead-up to Christmas guys so I'm sorry about that I have a few items that I didn't know anything about that I'll just quickly show you at the end and it really is I quickly show you oh I did get some money so strep straight after all Christmas night actually I purchased these things and one of them have arrived today I've got a pain in my ears guys at the minute sorry I think I'll start them with some kind of virus so one of the items that I ordered has calm which is from Kate's clothing it was a buy one get one free deal and this family member gives me 20 pound so I spent that twenty pound and got two items for twenty pound obviously postage I had to pay which is on top what really it was nothing I also got money off another family member and with that I bought a kill spare item it hasn't arrived yet and I will probably hold back and showing that and told my replacement cardigan comes from kill start so I'll do that in a separate video and maybe an update on the clothes that I got from kill staff for Christmas that I've won and then the other item I got from dolls kill and I've got a rant about that I will go at the end so I have a few things that I got for Christmas that I'll show you at the end as well it really is a few things and I've got this item here which is from Kate's clothing so guys um arrived today it was real real quick actually I mean real really quick I love cakes for them for the fast delivery time dispatch time we had a bit add a bit of a confusion because I kept put in at the checkout point and fog ah and it was bug off so it was bug Oh F and I was putting off and I was like it's not going through am i doing something wrong but eventually we stopped it out and it was quite funny when I realized that I was fighting bug off instead of bug off so I've got to I took my ear dress off so I've got two items I love necessary even evil guy so I got I've got two tops for Christmas from necessary evil woman's from my mom woman's from my mum and law obviously they both went away and they've come back now I've not worn either I got the velvet off the shoulder that goes in your thumb insect killer a necessary evil velvet top so that's in my wardrobe still with my tags on and then I got the other one that's got the butt sleeves that is really nice as well and it's got the necessary evil hawk and I kind of design which is kind of their signature I haven't won that either that still upstairs so now I've got two more items two more items and hopefully before this deal and I might go ahead and grab another two more before it ends because there was two other things that I wanted to get but there were quite small it's an ID but there were size 12 and I just don't know about fit in a 12 for a fight bye bye it's the center to try and fit in it so we'll see but guy I bought this item for 20 pound and I got the other item for free which was also 20 pounds so this is my first item oh yeah so I got an X L guys cuz I do find that necessary evil sizings are true to their sizes they're very very good I like one of the reasons what's drawn me to buy more necessary evil is the sizes and heavy metal mama cause she looks absolutely amazing in the outfits and she really does model them off well so for that reason she chases me to buy him now I didn't use lollies cord for this one because it's a bug off deal I'm not sure we could use a card but I think I will go ahead and use heavy metal Mama's cold next time I want to buy some other things from there there was a few things that I want to buy that's not on the sale section so this is the top guys and so it has a high net collar like a choker effect and then it's open up the front which I love it's short sleeved or case just look look I just love it so it's all open sleeves so it's like a cold shoulder but then this buckle design on the arm oh I just ice in this and I knew straight away it was going to be mine and then again on that side and it looks like a plain black straight top but it comes with this belt and that wraps around it as well to give it that belt finished look that will require so it matches like the child quite much as the arms don't think this there's tabs no it just goes round I will do a trial so you can see guys it may be later on this evening I did a try because I have got guests coming in the next 25 minutes so I'd only been running around to try and close on while they're here that was 20 pound guys and that was on the sale as you can see X stops ticking on my finger necessary evil exile so guys I'm not gonna put it there cuz I've been burning incense sticks and there's all ash for me so then this was my free item the guy's ice in this and I I fell in love with it instantly and I don't know why I've not seen it before I think maybe was on the normal kind of clothing power of pets worthy I tryna by going on there cuz I know it's a little bit over over price alternative Claudine's expensive anyway but a little bit out of my price range I probably could get something from there but then it would mean like I would I don't know I'd have to do without certain things for month um I tried to balance try to balance things out but guys love this oh I think lolly if she hasn't got this she probably will get it it is beautiful look at it guys so I can't wait to try this on I may have to put a crop top underneath it guys I don't mind wearing crop tops when this such thing black lace netting over the top I don't mind it but I just don't like wearing crop tops as an open thing oh god this looks lovely so guys again it's necessary evil just to show you and I got an XL so it's high net and it's got the hawk and I design which I tell you is the necessary evil log or kind of you know it's them I love this I love it it's on my other top that's upstairs I love the fact that bar I like high net tops I think they they really do suit me some people don't like high neck I personally do I like things up here I've got a bit of reaction going on at the minute guys the chat skeleton necklace has got pewter in it so me I've been screen so it's a lovely lace I've got to try and stand up and show you this guys it is beautiful so it's this lace top and it's got like the little bit of fluff on it I'm gonna try and take that off as you can see guys your arms go in here and it's quite tight on the thing and then it might like back wings it kind of ruffles out like so let's see can you see oh I love it absolutely love it and the material feels you know how you get some like kind of lace tops and they're quite rough the feel this is quite velvet it quite silky it's very stretchy it's very given I just love I think I may have a new love for necessary evil more than kill star I know but I just like the quality I really do love the quality of necessary evil so mmm I've got four items up to now I do want to grab a pair of leggings and maybe a skirt from necessary evil just to mix it up I really do like the color that Wally's got that's $19.99 at the minute I may go back and get that color and maybe a pair of trousers because I do were more trousers than I do dresses do have a lot of dresses guys if you do want to see a video of going through my wardrobe it will be a bit of a scattered crazy-looking thing because I've got a mishmash of things in my wardrobe if you do want to say that pub comment on below and I will solve that out for next year as one of my videos so that was there

get apart from all the clothes you seen there is some shoes that you haven't seen I've got three pairs of shoes for Christmas that aren't still on the way because they've come from us which I never knew about and I've got obviously another item from kill star and the other cardigan we're gonna see well that looks like when it's zipped so so I still got them few things on the way so out of everything I got some makeup holders guys which is like what you put your lipsticks in let me just grab and show you so I've got a whole bunch of these and they've got all like diamonds at the bottom but you can't see it's all sequins and diamonds so I put like my Mac like my higher-end lipsticks in here so I've got like my Mac I've got my sugar pill I've got my NYX I've got me a new that I just got recently I've got my Ted Baker in there yeah so it's got a mixture of things and I got another one guys but it's really far back so I don't really want to grab it I also got this little little what you call a ring dish well I like it down here because I've got a lot of like rose gold stuff in here so I got that as well with my initial R for retro I thought that with all my makeup over there guys and if you do want to see a makeup tour updated because you haven't seen one since beginning of the year pub comment below and I'll do that for you with that I got this little fella it was so cute so guys you do know I absolutely love penguins I've loved penguin since I was about six years old I've always loved penguins and my stepmom well she's not my she's my stepmom she's she's not with my dad anymore but she's still my brother and sisters mom and we got on really really well you need to shame that I didn't get to grow up with her because I think we'd have been really really like best friends but she got me that little R and she got me the makeup accessories oh and she also got me this nearly forgot oh I've ripped it so she got me this perfusion makeup set as well um I've not opened it but you can see I've got all these shades going along in this full-length mirror and then I've got like the bronze in the blusher and I've got the eyebrows stuff and other accessories I don't know how she knew that I love profusion but she did and that's what I got and she got me this as well guys so this is what you put in a microwave and it smells of lavender you can't smell the lavender while it's at normal temperature but when you put it in the microwave for 30 seconds I put in for a minute with you guys and I take up to bed with me and I like like part from last night that's another whole story so I got this and it's called winter snuggles I think it's called Oh wormies winter warm ease and it is so plush and cute and it feels like a little beanbag but you know it's got them things inside now is that got one as well but he got a teddy bear one a bigger one he's not Oliver keen on the scent of it unfortunately it mix and gag what we he'll get used to it so I got that guy's and then I got this beautiful 1/2 started burning this I really I'm sorry well this beautiful candle from my best friend Jemma we we promise not to do presents for each other this year because you know it was a tough tough year this year but she was she messaged me and said you've had a really horrible year she went and you know you give so much to everybody so here's a little something given back to you so she got me this it's called the Christmas spice season candle guys I got to tell you it outsmarts every candle that I've got burning in my living room and it burns a tree like pull to the side it is lovely and it's from home so I'm not too sure where that's from but I love the colors I will reuse this without a doubt she knows I'll reuse it I will put either votives in there or I'll get another candle and stick it in there but I'll never get that amazing scent it's like it's definitely is like a cinnamon yeah cinnamon and I love the box it came in it came in this beautiful box on the string and you wrap it around I just think attention to detail like that is everything so then I got a bottle of Ted Baker perfume from my sister-in-law and brother-in-law which is my husband's sister and I think we got perfect I got a Hugo Boss last year yeah I got Hugo Boss and my husband got the male Hugo this year we've got a his-and-hers Ted Baker and his smells really really nice as well and that's got a bottle Ted Baker but we got last year so with a tech Baker family so guys this is the bottle it looks very much like the blue Ted Burke that sack Scott which is a beautiful sermon I bought this for my dad last year mmm it's a very very sweet sweet floral scent it's me to a tee and I think Stephanie knows what kind of scent I love I think after nine years she knows me very very well it doesn't really say the fragrance but I can tell you it is it's beautiful and it lingers I spread this on Christmas Day and then the next morning when I woke up I could still smell it off my skin and I just thought well that's good going and that is the Ted Baker London and it's a 75 mil absolute love that so I got that I wasn't expecting to get any perfume this year guy so I was like yay get in I also got this beautiful Bayless and Harding set I get a built-in happen set every year with garrulous of who it's from I seems to always get one every year and I love it I've got a whole cupboard full under my sink in the bathroom of Bayliss and Harding and I do use it I just don't use it as much because I love it so I've got this from ben's auntie and uncle and it's a sweet mandarin and grapefruit it comes with receive it says it at the back toiletry bag Oh dissen actually there's a toiletry back inside that how good is that and it comes with a body wash a hand and body lotion I'm Sergeant Liu a shampoo Wow a conditioner and a bath cream how good is that I've never seen a bayless and had a shampoo conditioner and there's a makeup there's a there's a bag at the back so you can put it all in I absolutely love that that's obviously come from boats but it's got that little symbol on it so that was that guys and then I just got some luxury chop clips some Thornton's with a few little bits and pieces that I can't find everything spread around I also bought some earrings I will do them in another video and they haven't arrived yet I know took a just a doctor what's happened to him but I have bought them I will do them in a separate video maybe when the other stuff comes I will just throw it in and then I've got one of these and I didn't expect this now oh I got this as well so from my mother-in-law I got the necessary evil velvet top that has the inserts in which you've seen in a previous video I also got some fur like thermal leggings that like silky on the outside and they're off there were four mats and Spencers they are amazing they keep you warm they're stretchy I absolutely love them it's my second pair now I also got some luxury bed socks for Marks and Spencers they are so goddamn comfy I haven't got them on at the minute and then I got this top I picked this top I get to pick what I want but I got this top which I wore on Christmas Day you would have seen it in my video and it was from Wallace it was 33 pound there was three different versions of this Wallace top there was this version which was sleeveless there was a long sleeve blows in it as well and then there was a very very long like cut off at the side that one look very very pretty as well but I was again I was very drawn to the high net to kind of like that and they opened and then it's got like a little back oh and I grabbed a new skirt as well guys as well that cane I forgot to mention that I also got some unicorn dramas that are upstairs and my bed sucks and things certain things that I'm not going to get because I thrown him in the wash I have actually warned him but that was that top that I got from my mother-in-law and my father-in-law and then that's all I thought I was getting I knew what I was getting apart from the leggings and the socks um and then I got this and I was like I got to say that I am one of the most grateful kind of people that when I get things no matter how small how cheat I love it if I if it's something I absolutely love you can tell and it's written all over her face and as soon as I open this and obviously it was in here and it's actually on my wrist I was like I've been going on for the longest time that I'm my mother-in-law's got one on my wrist and I said I want one of them and I did drop hints to everybody at Christmas and nobody was safe good man and in the end of our to know what I'll just fight for my birthday like with my birthday money because I'm having money for my birthday I'll get a few gifts that I want all day but I've asked for money so I can go out and buy I think I want to get some more Damania boots that are long so yeah I got this which is a fitness tracker I am NOT the fittest person in the world as you know I've got long-term debilitating back disability which prevents me from doing certain fitness but I can walk a certain distance with my walk and Ed I can do slight exercise at home I can sit down and do exercise I can I can do a few things and this track say but what appeals to me the most is it tells it tells my own people message me on Instagram on Facebook on Twitter anything that I've used the social platform what's up emails when somebody rings me when somebody messages my phone it also tracks your it tracks your sleep which I've always wondered how my sleep goes because to me I feel as if I sleep deep what I actually don't and I kind of make sense night but one thing that appealed to me the most was with this wasn't the fact that I tracks your steps because my phone does that I know I've got an iPhone it's the fact that one it record your sleep so I can see how good or how bad I am sleeping but it also tracks your heart rate now as you know I have a tachycardia heart now at the minute my heart is fluctuating up and down from 82 up to 97 and the highest my heart rate goes apparently is when I sleep it goes to 106 up to 108 at the minute is on 86 I have a tachycardia heart if you don't know what that means my heart beats faster than the normal heart but I could I could get really with a poly my blood pressure drops my blood pressure is that a good even case or it doesn't affect me too much but if my blood pressure drops under a certain kind of number and my hat goes up I experience what we call a tachycardia I will pass out or I will faint and I've done it a few times and now I understand a bit more how my heart is beating cuz when I was going in for my operation they had to give me something to slow my heart down because it wasn't cuz I was stressed cuz I wasn't stressed it was cause I have a tachycardia ha but I've got this for Christmas I absolutely love it I'm still figuring out things on it and well yeah that is what I got for Christmas guys and I'm absolutely stopped I will show the shoes when eventually the calm I will just tell you quickly my scenario so I ordered off a site called dolls kill I was not made aware that was a us site I had no idea probably because I've never been on it before I just went straight to the shoe sales section and since some shoes that I wanted and I put them straight in my basket and I bought them and the postage was seven pound and I fell off that's quite steep but you know maybe you know cuz it's two purses shoes that's probably why I paid the postage or paid for my shoes and I thought I'm not gonna get them sue sue him because I ordered a Christmas dare night so I knew that I wouldn't be getting him anytime soon because obviously I got my Christmas money and then this morning I got up and checked my email sorry about that magically I don't know some neighbors have decided to carry on with doing their work Connor just on Christmas period so I got an email and it said I have to pay custom charges of 12 pound 85 for my shoes that's just two pairs I've got another pair coming my husband's bought me as well so that's that's another like fee that he's gonna have to pay he's not very happy about it he's not blaming me because I didn't know that it was a u.s. I I have said to if you want to counsel them by all means counsel I'm I don't mind but he's like no because this was your last present and we're going to get you and they were on sale they were all really good prices and that's why we grabbed him and now we're Ivan's a pair basically a price for another pair of shoes that we haven't got so I'm just gonna check with dolls kill this is right if it's right they should have told me and so forth yeah so that's that right guys so that is it far wrap this up and my videos might not be very like I'm gonna try and keep the days that I said I was going to keep two but I'm not very well guys I have had an issue as you know I had an operation done not that long ago and I thought recovery was very very long and I thought everything was going fine but unfortunately something has gone wrong and I've picked up on it I am now trying to be referred back to my gynecologist because if this isn't fixed he's going to affect me in the worst possible where I don't want to discuss it on camera because it's a personal thing but those who know me will know that if I'm quiet it's it's because I'm trying to kind of set what I'm going through again because it's like I thought I got fixed and now I'm back to square one I'm not fixed so mmm frustrating alright guys that is it I will go try these on and tell me what you think and go grab the buy one get one free offer on Kate's clothing before it finishes I'm hoping that she's got it on for another two weeks so I can grab two more before it ends alright guys take care of yourself I know oh it's vibrating and it's telling me nuts beauty is messaging me on Instagram I know I will reply to as soon as I get off here so thanks for watching I'll see you in the next one guys bye for now okay guys so this is the lace top as you can see it opens up all the way so you could wear a vest up under this if you wanted to I'm just trying it with a little crop top on you could wear it with a skirt or trousers my skirt will go reeling out for this oh it's got the same material and as you can see it's very long it's like a poncho but a lace poncho I love the neck it's very very high neck and obviously the hook at the back my husband's on the hook into but if the third one was hopped it be quite tight but yeah guys I absolutely love this and definitely worth the money I would say and the material feels amazing I can't wait to wear this guys and like I said it is like a poncho you could actually put a belt here guys if you wanted to so leggings and a thing about perfect let's go try the other top on okay guys this one is slightly like different well that's a lot different sorry about that noise guys I don't know who it is but they're driving me up there well so as you can see it's definitely I love the open I just love because obviously I want both of my arms my whole sleeves don't eventually and I'm having a big tattoo done on my birthday here and I'm then further on in the year I'm going to go on the inside of here so I've I kind of made a start at the bottom of my arms but I love the whole open arm effect with this I find it really sexy it's very nice um an added bonus is having this as well yeah that's hi as I've got mine I've got quite a slender neck I've got quite a little neck I probably wants it to be a little bit tighter but like my husband said it looks silly if you've gathered that too much so maybe it's fine how probably wouldn't wear a necklace with it or if I days I'd have something that's probably a bit longer it needs ironing guys so I haven't ironed it at a time the belt is a little bit on the tight side for me that is on the last one as you can see and I'd probably know it isn't notes on the last one and and it's not too bad I've still got some room in it but I don't like having this Pat restricted because this part will then make this ha pull out but I do like to pull myself II I probably wear this with my leather trousers or a leather skirt out to love it love it I don't find this at hasn't caught as comfortable as the other top that I had on but I probably this would look better maybe with some leather trousers and then I can have like something that's pulling my in because obviously this is where my area is fortunately for me I can't do anything about that anymore I mean I used to be very very very tiny at the waist and very very flat on my tummy but yeah never mind well I do love this top just cover your back hand if you were to pull it down it does cover and you could run it without about guys you don't have to worry about you can just have it as a really write down top but I kind of like the whole idea of having the belt as well just to emphasize your waist but you could wear any boat with it I could wear my kill star belt with this when I want it I could buy another belt for necessary evil but there you go guys that is my two top so what do I think I think they're both absolutely lovely what I will do I will come back and I will do a full week review so I'll have these four weeks I'll wear them I'll wash them I'll iron them I will tell you what I think I put my clothes in the dryer I put them to dry and see what happens unless it says do not tumble dry that I won't but we'll come back in four weeks and we'll do not or next I'm gonna come back in three weeks and do an update on my kill start because I am starting to one of my Christmas kill star clothes now alright guys take care and I'll see you in the next one bye for now [Music] | Enigmareviews | UCm5hPX7pYqj89dwEz1Ok3gw | 2019-12-27 |

evening good evening but let I am still here guys I'm still here and I'm telling you my I'm telling this YouTube channel this YouTube journey is something else I'm telling me I know many of y'all can contested that this YouTube journey is something else and I always say work wiser and not hard because I ain't trying to work hard but I want to have fun growing my channel I do want to turn into a business you know I wanted to be blessed I wanted to be successful but baby I ain't trying to work hard at doing it but I want to have fun with it so I'm telling you guys I I was just changing some things around on my channel not doing some things that I used to do and most of all I'm gonna tell you I'm telling you I have been really saving a lot more money this year on my YouTube channel you know I've I've made a decision that you know a lot of things I'm doing in my home you know I did I do some changes here and there I do some organizing the here and there you know I do a little things here but I just made up my mind you know it's got to benefit fit what I am doing you know I just don't want to just put up a bit video just to say I'm putting up a video okay so guys um so on tonight's show as you saw in the title um I was talking about you know how to grow your channel what is best for your channel and this is where if we've been on YouTube three and four years and we're still going to YouTube and you might be just a beginner you got to find out what is your Niche you got to find out what do your followers want I mean these are just simple things but these are things that if we forget the purpose of why we are having our YouTube channel it's going to mess us up I'm telling you ladies it's gonna mess us up I'm gonna say creators because sometimes men come on here so it will mess us up so we have to remember our followers and what do they want or or try to reach out and and for them to come in and so that once you start growing your channel it'll continue to grow and grow and grow and grow and grow because there is room out there for your channel to grow so you got to look at what is beneficial to your Channel okay so we want to think about 10 think about that one moment what is beneficial what do your followers want you know what is making your channel to grow what is making your channel not to grow and we really have to look at this and we have to examine our Channel you know um you know do we have to you know real just some things you know do we have to change some things you know um when I put up this certain video it am I getting views from it you know when I put up that video you know am I getting views from it you know uh whatever it might be but you have to find out where your Niche at and sometimes you know it takes us a little while to find a niche I have a Lifestyle Channel so I do all types of things on my channel but some of your channels are Niche down to me if I had a choice to do this over again God be the glory I think I would have niched my channel down but because I didn't Niche it down and you know I just kind of you know film away with it I do cooking I do cleaning the cluttering um a little decorating and stuff and God knows I am not a decorator but I love changing things I love you know upgrading my home I love you know you know learning things and I and I must say I'm learning a lot of things how you doing Miss things and God bless you God bless you oh yes well yes but I just got off Miss Stephanie too and um and also guys if y'all go to miss Stephanie should be on at 6 45 p.m like an hour before me and she was just talking about tonight about uh putting up a YouTube banner and you can go back and watch the replay on that and that is so and what you mean it was saying is that to put up your YouTube Banner to show what your channel is all about how many of y'all um I'm gonna ask a question to all y'all tonight how many of y'all really just test your Channel to see where what pulls your subscribers to see what is giving you both views you know to see what is beneficial because some things we like I say I've learned I'm learning this as I'm growing there are some things I'm doing that is not beneficial and it's not growing my channel so I'm gonna be honest with you guys I'm about to get rid of my table so uh but I might just do it on my Island but I'm about to do something different in my kitchen but I'm gonna get rid of the table because like I said I love tablescapes but a lot of times you know tablescapes like I said I love them but you know I'm like I said don't bring me no views but it don't bring me a wild view all the time but I I just want to real design so I'm thinking about doing it so uh you know that's in my game plan to change that all around in my kitchen so I I don't know unless I change my mind because my husband said I don't know why you bought that table anyway because we really didn't need it so I said well it's just one of those things but what I'm what I'm going to do is um you know build you know just do a little different design uh it's going to take a little time for me to uh to figure out which way I'm going with it but if I do it if I do any team Escape it would have to be on my Island if I decide to do that but I'm just trying to do things to fit fit my home better to lighten up my house the lighting you know and that's another thing that you know with our lighting and you know on these videos um as Stephanie was even talking about tonight if even if we just do one percent one percent guys that's all we need you know a lot of times you know we look at other channels and we say okay I can do that or I can do what this person do but sometimes you know it doesn't work for our channel so we just got the you know find our way so on tonight uh one thing I want you to look at on your channel tonight what is benefited what is beneficial to your channel uh we I always tell y'all we work we work wiser we work smarter and we're not working harder you know since I've been working Miss Stacy I do understand it because I know that you work and if someone's work and some of us don't and you know some of us are pastors and we do other things and some of us have children you know some of us have everyday life let me tell you oh it is real honey it is real out there but you got to really look at your channel you know reddit's benefit official for you to do one video a week or two video a week and so that you can keep up with your followers whether it's beneficial for you to do your shorts because now that they got shorts and shorts that haven't been growing my God I'm gonna tell y'all it's been easy for me to drop shorts and shorts have really been growing my channel more than my regular video but I'm not going to stop doing my regular video but my shorts are really kicking off I'm telling you how you doing today Ladies God bless you and so let's see and I'm telling you uh it has just been such a blessing it's just been such a blessing now I have found that to be so much easier for me guys I have found it to be so much easier I do miss Marlene God bless you on tonight how you doing Miss um Michelle God bless you on tonight I was talking about earlier I was talking about our um we said our pre-game party we had last week and I said wow that was a blessing I'm trying to let me get this in this trying to get this volume up okay I was wondering why I couldn't hear myself in the earpiece because for one thing I didn't have the volume up oh that's all right Miss Michelle I was I was actually something about the YouTube The Stream yard how you get that little um would you call it uh how you get that opening before you you know come on but we'll I'll figure it out later no problem mistakes that said I'm getting up to start posting again constantly once a week I'm feeling better so it's time to get back on it yes yes ma'am is Stacy yes don't say even if you just do a one um do it Charlie like I said drop those shorts and do as much as you can but I'm telling you guys my uh my choice has really been taken off on my channel but I still could do both because you got to realize something I heard I know it was dare Ebbs he said that you know you you do your shorts you got the short crown and you got your regular crowd of videos see I got some people who do my shorts I got more people doing my shorts than I do my regular video but I also got people who pull for my regular video so that's what I'm saying you got to look at your channel and see what's going to make it to grow and now like I said I have my channel don't benefit doing too much client collabs and what I'm saying is that I try not to do too much class let me rephrase that collapse is good but you got to make sure you do your channel so your channel won't just be collab collab collab collab then people don't know who you're about because we trying to you know do when you do your Channel try to position your channel you know do different scenes in your videos now with the live I can't do different scenes because I'm on a live but when you do your uh videos try to improve it by doing different angles in your video you know if you if you're taping something um you organizing you're making a table scale or you're doing something you know do different shots and I find out that really helps our video you know don't just keep a straight shot do different scenes in the video you know to try to improve it she's a bring me up before your life is and in the broadcast ends I will walk you through it oh yes ma'am yes ma'am I sure will miss um Miss Michelle because I could not figure that out I was looking for a video and I said I don't know how Miss Michelle did that I have no idea how you did that the words we welcome God bless you welcome welcome how you doing Miss Stephanie welcome welcome so yes friends I'm telling you I'm telling you guys you know just try to you know do different things with your channel and because it's still in the growing stage you know it still can take off it still can be beneficial you still can you know make it a business but try doing different things with your Channel Try see what's best for your channel you know try not to make your channel collabi collabby collabby and not Robert collabs but try not to overdo it so that people will know what your channel is all about you know you got to work it you know try to take your time to grow your channel so you can go back and go back and follow your followers because you all know how YouTube work you know as we're growing a lot of times people don't come to your channel unless you go to their Channel unless you got some faithful followers that know that sometimes sister Penny be working girl y'all know I ain't got no service when I'm in the country when I'm at on these jobs I don't have no service so it's hard for me to you know to catch up with everyone foreign but it doesn't mean that I do not see you guys and one other thing guys I'm um I noticed that I have to come out some groups because it's just so much going on because on Instagram because I have so much groups and it's not like nobody groups here but I have a lot of groups and a lot of groups I'm not even accurate in it and I have so much going on and I like oh my gosh it's a I think that's why it's hard for me to keep up with people chat chat the chats because to see what's going on because I have so much groups so I said I'm gonna have to come off some of the groups so that I can you know keep up the main ones that I am answering for yeah but when you find out what is growing your Channel when you find out what your followers want you can you will see that challenge take off you're gonna have to watch this thing don't overwork yourself because you need to do those shorts and you need to do your regular video or both of those is going to help your channel and I find out with my channel them shorts help me more than the regular videos but I still got to do both so I'm trying to balance both so I'm just giving y'all some tips on how to get it going now hopefully if you try it it might work for you now when you first start doing these shorts It's Gonna seem like oh my gosh these things ain't going no way but after a while you got to keep with it and it will take off okay thank you Miss Marlene said yes we have to pace ourselves especially if the collapse are about lots of different things that's right that's right and one thing I know it's like Miss Molly and she's trying to knit your channel down because she talks about guarding you know you know and I know she do a little Decor but she do do a lot of gardening and tips so if we can we need to Niche it down as much as we can okay Miss Michelle said exactly like this week I ain't behind me because we did different things to celebrate our anniversary and his birthday oh yes you're right you see and well once again happy anniversary and happy birthday yeah and see like I said sometimes you get far behind and it is so hard it is so hard to catch up you know I'm still playing ketchup guys I'm gonna be honest with you I don't know how people do it but I am still playing catch-up she said but it is what it is yes ma'am God bless you Jean season but thank you Mr G God bless you should Miss uh Stephanie said yes I agree I'm used in too many groups on IG I know I love doing makeup so I would never leave that group I love being in groups with adults there you go oh yeah it's not it's not y'all it's not the makeup group and the ones that went in here but uh I get a a lot of things that's dropping on my um hygiene I just like I can't keep up with everybody because it's so much so it's not it's not you know it's not against anyone or what they're doing on YouTube it's just like I said I have to balance myself so I can keep up with the ones I am doing like I said yeah I love the makeup I'm learning so much so miss uh Miss um Miss Michelle I'm learning a lot I just got to learn the eyebrows but I'm learning a lot more with the makeup and tips and stuff so I I just love it I just love it guys I wanted to share something I saw something on a community page and um let's be careful that we're not being YouTube bullies and she's like what is she talking about look y'all know me I'm I'm down to earth I'm not fussy don't be YouTube bullies because I I read something kind of really I didn't agree with but what I'm saying is that don't be YouTube bullies um let's let's all get along because we don't want to offend our brothers and sisters or we we don't want to you know you know we're Believers in Jesus Christ and we don't want to we don't want our light to shine up or under the we wanted to shine so let's not be bullies on here let's not get offended so easy you know uh because I tell everyone things happen sometimes even when I I'mma use Miss Michelle for example you know sometimes Mr Shell she know Sister Penny be late she knows sometimes I'll be working but guess what I have Mr Michelle said Penny I understand whenever you can whenever you can so so that's why I'm saying guys let's not be YouTube bullish let's not be harsh to each other you know let's you know show love and kindness and and support you know and I know like I said I'm not making excuses for lateness because I'm gonna try to be on time for uh March I want to be on time for March but but let's not do that because I I look at certain things on YouTube sometimes and you know sometimes like I tell you I scroll through things and not to be judgmental but I scroll through things sometimes and I said um I said no we gotta we got to show more love than that we cannot be rude to one another you know we don't know what someone else is going through Behind These cameras and just because we don't talk about it don't mean we ain't going through something but we're not here to always complain okay I don't know why I went there tonight but nevertheless God be the glory yes yes so let's let's get along guys let's let's not be rude to one another let you know because like I said we don't know what each other's going through everybody you know have their own battles to back the fight and we don't want to I we don't want to fight each other on YouTube let's let's get along oh how you doing Miss um miss queen Miss Andrea Mason the queen Court God bless you um Miss um Stacy what I started with my shorts and it really had helped me uh when I started with my shorts I had um do it on the do it by 12 seconds and I just kept doing it and you know but like I said everybody channel is different but when I start doing 12 seconds I really got a lot of shorts and then now I'm trying to you know get it to about 20 seconds 30 seconds you know uh but I understand what you're saying because sometimes you're right sometimes you can put up a short because I experienced that on my other channel which I don't hardly do not know and I don't get nothing but I don't really do much on that channel so that's not extreme so I do understand what you're saying yeah but sometimes yeah you're right sometimes no shorts uh they just seem like they do not work but what you probably need to do is check the timing uh you may have to do it different time like one thing you understand by shorts you can drop shorts like three in one day and be honest with you you got to find the timing of your shorts because your time might be one o'clock in the day your time might be 10 10 30. you got to keep playing with it you know and sometimes you can find it and that's all I do I just kind of experiment this stuff because I like the experiment to see how things work and that's what really helped me because I know when you first start them shorts it is rough what's happening I tried to be supportive as I came because you really don't know why people start their Channel or what they're going through amen was that's right amen glory to God oh sorry to hear that Miss Marlene oh I know you was talking about your baby oh I'm sorry to hear that yeah I'm sorry but I know how you feel because um actually tomorrow which will be

enjoyed that you know doing something different I enjoyed that doing something different so I've learned guys I've learned to um how many of y'all um are trying them shorts and sticking with it is really you know like I said it is a it's a tough and go situation sometimes it works and sometimes they don't sometimes I'll say okay we're the short people at today but the shores has really been growing my channel like you know it's a little it's been growing a little faster but I'ma stick with the shorts and I am going to stick with the regular videos but I'm gonna try to put up a uh I heard Stephanie tonight was talking about the grocery collab so I got a grocery collab that I need to do so I want to do that I want to jump into that I start to put up for tomorrow but because of grocery collab I think it's coming up I think it's this week if I'm not mistaken if it's this week I'm go ahead and put that up I might it might be Tuesday I'm not sure it might be Tuesday now what is this this is the third this is the third Sunday right so we got one more Sunday that might get y'all a guest next week I don't know if not y'all to be seeing me hey it's kind of late I don't like the I don't like to bother people when it's too late most of the time I try to give them a few weeks but we'll see what is a happy Sunday how you doing Miss Melissa God bless you on tonight she said Penny you would be surprised how many people who are hurting call or message me after that live my life about topical and seasonal wow wow oh wow wow yeah y'all did awesome job and your your husband do good in the camera because sometimes they don't them husbands don't like to get in them cameras oh yes Miss um Miss Price's Pearl she said yes shorts are up and down my shorts do really well my food shorts food shorts yeah oh yeah they love food shorts I'm telling her they love those food shorts especially when I do them on Tick Tock or they love food shorts and I do more Tick Tock I do them on Facebook or they love food shorts oh yeah I take those same little short videos because I have Tick Tock also and I I have my on Facebook reels and that's I put them right over there and then they do real good yeah it's a hit or miss when it comes to yeah just just try to do variety if you can if you can with the shorts try to you know change it up some and see which one you um they like the best but like I said my food shorts it does good too I did a challenge show if y'all know that watermelon and mustard and they just loved that one I like really y'all love that oh that's right do some Easter shorts that's right that's a good idea so guys we're getting some little I did do some shorts oh um what time is the um what time is the grocery haul for for Tuesday do you know um Stephanie so I got a grocery haul on my channels on my thing I need to put up if you don't know I can look it up later she said what is the best way to learn how to do shorts not for me to be honest with you I just played around with it they do have some videos on YouTube if you go to shorts but all I do is is make short videos and just play with what I already have just say for example if you do your regular video just after you do your regular video just turn it into a short now for the first time I will try do it on the do it 12 seconds do a 12 second one do some 12 seconds because that's what I did first in the 12 second ones did better you know it'll be under 15 seconds that did better for me and then after that I start doing a little longer and then it kind of kept going on and on but when I first started I did 12 second shorts and and that really really had helped me so all I do is um after I make a video or if I do something at home I just you know you have your channel have your phone or your camera in vertical that's vertical right straight up when you do it so tape something straight up because when you do it on the your channel when you hit the create it create a video under your channel it's going to be like that so so I'm still learning I'm still learning those um dumb shorts honey so I just I just play with them I'll be honest with you but to be honest with you wear some shorts and see how some people do it and that's what I do I get my inspiration from others because some people are just so glad I just do it like that so just watch other um short videos and that'll probably help you too Melissa says shorts are also very Hit or Miss for me yeah don't show some so it's 2 p.m for me okay thank you Miss Stephanie okay thank you thank you for the time I got a grocery haul from all I think it's all these yeah I got it on my phone I just need to edit it and do some stuff in Jersey we have been getting spraying here oh even in Jersey wow that's a blessing yeah we've been getting some good weather I've been seeing some pollen last week I saw oh here come this pollen again panel with crucial oh okay oh yeah that's right it's pin on witch collabia yes thank God for prayer it changes yes yes yeah just yeah just practice it yeah practice make perfect you know hey that's in everything practice make perfect and and watch how others do it and some of them things they be doing I don't even know how to do them be honest with you but sometimes I'll be searching to see how they do them little fancy one but I ain't learned how to do all that yet but so I just learned to do my little basic ones and Stephanie have you have you have you experienced any shorts yet of doing shorts at all because I'm not good like I said I'm not good with the short this coming week we will have these in the 80s at the oh you know I like it warm but I just don't like it too I don't like it too hard yeah I love the warm weather I just don't like it hard I got to get back in this uh in my yard and start cleaning and and getting that um my yard right for this for the spring but yeah it's that time guys so friends just just make sure like I said just try different things and like I said you don't have to go so far out to Niche or something that you know don't go and spend so much money and all doing this but just try different things to see what works with your channel you'll be surprised and I was very surprised at certain things I've been trying I like okay look at look at you girl I'm thinking of doing at least one yeah that's what I'm saying because even like I said when you do your regular videos you gotta understand you got the short crowd the regular crowd so so it's good to do both so that's there's people that's going to come going to hit your um join your channel because of the shorts and there's people going to join your channel because of your regular videos so so it's very it keeps it going I'm telling you YouTube is just it's never boring I'm telling you it keeps it going so I try to do a lot of shorts why do my daughter always call me when I'm on YouTube yes ma'am uh Miss Chris I have to call you back on I am on YouTube live okay thank

Yi7850WCpRA | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yi7850WCpRA | 40 gallon nano reef budget build | hey guys what's up so easy come back at just another video i just wanted to know this is a budget build tank i work my ass off but i don't have a lot of money you know to spend i'm not i'm not type person that spends tons of money except for all my clothes on my cars but this is a budget build tank i literally bought the aquarium and the stand for under 200 bucks at petsmart it came with a cheap cheesy lid with an led light in it but the lid was a piece of junk you couldn't even fit a measuring cup into the hole on top so they give you the feed through so i've taken that off um i am looking desperately for a glass top to go on there i've ordered two of them now off amazon and both of them have came shattered in a million pieces because the company that keeps mailing to me which is not amazon it's another company that sells through amazon is not packing them properly so they're just loose in the box anyway back back to the budget uh sorry the budget build um the sand and the rock is from a previous tank i had set up years ago i had a big 80 gallon tank i never had luck with it i spent tons and tons of money on it between the sump and the tank and the stand and the rocks and the sand and pumps and skimmers and overflows and all that stuff and it just it never thrived this tank actually thrives and it's like i said it's a budget tank so this the stand in the the tank itself i paid around 200 bucks from from petsmart um the the rock and the sand were setting in buckets for probably the last eight years so they were dead but i took them out of the buckets i took all the rock and i put it in buckets of bleach water and i let it soak with lids on it for about 14 days get all the parasites and any other hitchhikers or anything that may have been still on the rocks off i washed it really good put it on the driveway and let it dry out for about six seven eight hours and then of course i put it in this tank the sand is also from that old tank it was also set in buckets for the same amount of years i just took it outside and i rinsed it until the water was white um i put it all in this aquarium and then i dosed it with live bacteria and within a week it was it was all live i had fish in this tank within a week and i haven't lost a single one except for a suicide jumper that jumped out was it worked um besides that i do have the two white wave makers in the back i bought those off amazon i paid twenty dollars a piece for them they're 700 gallons per hour and then i have that little black one which is 510 gallons an hour i also bought that off amazon i paid i think it was twenty dollars that as well because they were out of the white ones so i had to go with a different brand a little bit smaller one um the heater on the back i bought off amazon i paid thirty dollars for it and it's an accurate temperature uh heater so it actually is constantly heating the water so the water always stays at a constant 77 degrees if it ever does drop below that the heater kicks on at a higher power to heat the water back up to where it's supposed to be but other than that the light on it is always green it always reads 77 degrees for the water the top reading is the water temperature and the bottom reading is what the heater is set at and as long as that light is green it means it's keeping a constant temperature if it turns red then the temperature is dropped and that the heater kicks on at full power to get it heated back up but since i put it in here light was red for probably two or three hours and it's been green ever since and it's always staying exactly at 77 degrees so it's it's doing its job it's doing really well i also have the night crew led light this is the nikru led marine lamp or reef lamp i can't remember exactly what it was called but it's a 30 to 36 inch light it does come with a dual channel timer the timer is right there you set the time for the blue lights to come on and off you can also set time for the white lights to come on and off so i have them cycling and they slowly fade on and off within 15 minutes after they're supposed to come on or go off so it kind of simulates the effect that the sun is rising or the moon sun setting whichever you want to call it so it it does a really good job it's not exactly a 24 7 timer like some lights have but for 53 dollars it's not bad um that right there is my wave maker i bought that off ebay or yeah off ebay because on amazon they wanted 70 or 80 dollars for it and it's not one of those high-tech ones you know then change the the flow of the pumps or anything like that it just switches between the two pumps um so right now it's set for every 15 seconds it'll switch back and forth between those two white pumps that are on the side of the tank so like right now the right pump or the left pump is running and here right there the right pump is running so it just switches back between the two um if i want to i can set them so they both come on at the same time and it'll run in the 15 increments or five second increments or one minute hour two hours three hours whatever i want on it um it's also got a setting on it so that every day at exactly noon it shuts off for an hour because it knows it's feeding time so it'll shut the wave makers off to lessen the current in the water so i can feed the fish without wasting a lot of the food which is a really nice feature that has and like i said i paid i think it was 30 35 set off ebay uh this is my flugal 207 pump that's her fielder that's all that's running this aquarium um it normally sells for 140 at petco but if you buy online they actually give you 20 off that price so i paid under a hundred dollars for this fluval 207 filter and it does i think a way better job than the 300 sump that i had bought for my bigger tank which is now just setting in storage somewhere with that big tank but i clean it out once a month um i rinse all the uh the filler media in the water that's inside the filter i dump it in a bucket and rinse it all out and ring it all out and then i put it all back in there and i fill it up with fresh water and dump the nasty stuff down the the toilet um i do have a cheap power strip i paid eight dollars for from walmart i know everybody's gonna say oh my gosh it's not gfi protected but i do have the plug on the wall i change that with a gfi so everything in here is gfi protected just in case mr fluval springs a leak which i hope it never does i haven't had any problems with it yet but so far so good um down here i just have a bucket with like my measuring cups in and my bulb feeders for my corals and stuff like that this is the bucket i use to actually clean the filters out so i'll dump all the water out of this fluval into here and i'll use this bucket to rinse all the immediates inside the canister filter and then like i said i dump it out and put in fresh water this side is just all my chemicals and test kits and extra sand or salt and some food and my nutrients for my corals algaecide in case i ever get it this is what i started the aquarium with its biological booster bought it at petco i think i paid ten dollars for it and it's probably just as good as any of the expensive brands that i've ever bought um other than that i do have this red sea prism 75 skimmer protein skimmer it was on my 80 gallon tank i just cleaned it up really good and i put it on this tank and it seems to be doing really good at taking the gunk out of the water you can see it's got the dry foam there at the top instead of wasting the sea water like most people do when they turn theirs up too high and then i did do an upgrade on the fluval i put on a surface skimmer for the intake um it's pretty cool it actually service skims the water so all that grease and oil and film and stuff that's on top of the water goes down there it gets sucked into the filter and then it does suck in water from the bottom as well and then it goes to that tube it goes back to the filter so instead of having just the long tube in there that usually comes with the filter i upgraded it with the surface skimmer on there and then the pulsing xenia i bought yesterday it was supposed to been ten dollars i got it for five dollars i don't know why but the guy at the pet stores gave me a better deal and then i got that coral i have no idea what it is it has little green polyps on the top of it you can barely see them but it looks really cool when it's underneath just the blue light i also got that for five dollars yesterday it was supposed to be in ten but like i said he gave me both of them for ten dollars i also do not know what that coral is um him that's a uh zoey i can't remember how to say it but he looks really cool underneath the the blue light as well he turns like a orange sparkly color and green park sparkly color that's probably the most expensive one i bought i paid 20 bucks for that one little polyp 20 for one polyp but hopefully it grows fast and it spreads and it'll be worth that 20 dollars um i have the green mushroom which is doing really well in here i think i paid twenty dollars for that as well but it came with the rock i have they call this the toxic green torch coral i don't know if that's the right name for it or not because when i look online underneath that name it brings up things that don't even look like this so i don't even know if that pet store had the name of it correct but i paid ten dollars for him he's doing really well as well i'm just hoping he spreads and gets a little bit bigger and then i have my anatomy of course i bought from petco i think i paid 35 dollars for it he's a little close up right now because the clownfish were messing with him they're still trying to get used to him this is vinnie he goes over and see like right now he kind of brushes by him earlier he was swatting him with his tail and different things i think he's still trying to figure out exactly what he is but yeah um that's my daughty back he likes to hide a lot and swim through little crevices in the rocks and things like that but he's starting to come out in the open a lot more than what he did when i first got him um i said that's vinnie this one up here is sparky he was my very first fish that i put in this tank i put him in six days after i put this tank up and he's been in here for about three months now this tank is well this tank's probably three or four months old and like i said he's been in here since the fifth or sixth day that i set it up i also have this coral um it was just a straight stick when i bought it and within a month he's grew on that little nub there on the left and it's actually growing pretty quickly normally he's got little black tentacles that hang out all over him but for some reason today he's not coming out to play and i don't know why but like i said i also do not know what that curls name is neither if you guys have any idea what these corals are please comment and let me know because i haven't a clue um other than that just the nars will snails you can see his little snorkel sticking up right there and there's one right there that's his little snorkel sticking up as well um vinnie's being a camera hog right now i think he's trying to be youtube famous but yeah that's him and then other than that i do have two blue green chromos all the fish in here get along really well i haven't had any problem with any of them i did have a striped blenny which was a really really cool fish i love that fish he was in here for about two weeks and when i came home he was missing i couldn't find him anywhere and then later that night i found him underneath the tank stand so apparently he jumped outwards at work and committed suicide and i haven't got another one yet because i want to wait until i get a top on this tank there are a few more fish i want to get but they're jumpers so i need to get a top but like i said i'm having a really hard time getting a top i ordered two of them from a place called my goods this sells on amazon and both of them came shattered in a million pieces because they do not pack their merchandise i even asked him on the second order to please make sure it was packed properly because the first one got broken and i waited three or four weeks for it and i said the second one came just two or three days ago and it was completely shattered as well so i had to send it back i did find another one that's in new york from a pet store in new york of course it was thirty dollars more than what i'd paid from or the one that was from my goods but i guess as long as they pack it properly and it comes in one piece it'll be worth the extra thirty dollars because i'm not going to waste the time and the money going back to that place on amazon again it's not amazon's fault it has nothing to do with amazon they just sell on amazon and it's a completely separate store that ships them i've never had a problem with anything that amazon has sent me everything's always arrived like i said most of stuff in this aquarium came from amazon the only thing that did not come from amazon was the tank itself and the stand and the fluval filter the heater the and the protein skimmer and of course the rock and the sand other than that all the rest of the equipment on this tank did come from amazon it was a very budget build and i'm always adding new stuff to this tank i'm struggling with a little bit of algae right now but my snails and my hermit crabs are not quite doing what they're supposed to be doing so i treat it with some algaecide it works really good it takes a couple days for it to die off it'll stay died off and then hopefully i can get the coraline algae to start growing covering everything up so this algae will not come back anymore and then there is a sand sifting starfish but he's always hit underneath the sand when the lights come out and of course there's dottie back there hiding in his little cave but yeah that's my budget build i think i've shown you everything and the cost of what i paid for different things and like i said i did have a big 80 gallon tank i paid over a hundred dollars or two 300 for the tank itself and i paid no 300 for the stand i paid 3 350 for the sump and another 100 for the return pump in it and you know two or three hundred dollars for the light and everything i i spent thousands of dollars on a tank and it just it never thrived it it was just it was a mess the first five or six fish i put in there which were green chromos and the cardinal fish which are supposed to be really easy to take care of and good first fish none of them lived past two days they all just up and croaked but this tank my budget build that i've spent probably about a thousand dollars on is thriving and doing really really good um i am going to add some more corals it's just hard right now here in utah to get saltwater fish and to get corals because a lot of the salt water stores closed up due to the pandemic so i don't have a lot of choices on things right now we do have some really cool stores here in salt lake one is ocd reef shout out to ocd reef i love that store those are the guys that gave me these two corals for ten dollars and have helped me out quite a bit with questions and different things like that and they have a really good selection of things um like i said most of the salt water fish stores or stores that had salt water no longer had them because during the pandemic i guess the distributors raised the prices of everything three times of what they normally were so like a sand sifting gobi that's normally a 20 30 fish they were having to pay over a hundred dollars that fish so then reselling it it was coming out two hundred and forty hundred fifty dollars for a normally thirty dollar fish so hopefully now with things back to normal here in utah and mostly around the country i start getting some more cool fish i want to get another spotted blinny hopefully as soon as i get a lid for this tank um i did want to get a tang fish but this tank's a little small for a tang so maybe i'll go with the coral beauty but you know the angel fish they kind of have a tendency of nipping at corals and i eventually want to have a lot of corals on these rocks that's why i've arranged them with a lot of flat spots so i can kind of spread them out i still need to take the frag uh i can't remember what they're called the frag plugs off these corals so i can glue them to the rocks i haven't done that yet i just want to get them in the tank and get them acclimated yesterday so hopefully you're in the near future i can get those plugs off and get them glued down to the rocks so a little more secure and don't look so obviously out of place but other than that yeah this tank is great thanks for watching | Wayne Bailey |

Bknsw961ZYk | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bknsw961ZYk | 2 Goals of Fire Restoration Fire & Smoke Bootcamp | start this off I'm going to get Brooke to throw up this Poll for you guys which is what is the primary objective of fire restoration um the answers that you're going to see on your screen is the to restore the property to an agreed condition uh remove the contaminants and Orders of the fire process restore water and heat damage materials all of above uh or follow the instructions of the adjuster and the insurance company uh this is interesting when you start looking at where are we trying to do when we enter a fire loss um it kind of comes down to how are we communicating what we're doing and why we're doing it so I'll let you guys fill that poll in and then Joe if you if you could I don't know if you uh you can talk about the fire damage that you're just working on but you said it was a fairly substantial one yeah the one well we did I I've been working on I think I've got four or five active ones right now we the roof system off and we had back in with rge beam and Raptors and one I came off today we had to pull the entire roof off the back uh one back wall out and um we now um trimming I finished up the kitchen yesterday and we started putting extension Gams and casing up today uh hanging doors and we should be basing it out uh tomorrow I would be doing it today but some little baldheaded guy talked me into sit in front of a computer for hey hey Brooke I can't see the uh the the polls here can you can you go through them for me yep so 5% of people said restore the property to an agreed condition 4% said remove the contaminants and odors of the fire process and then 91% said all of the above so so that's actually interesting the all of the above and and that is the right answer I like the ones that they went to the restore property to the agreed condition and we're going to talk about this because this is something that we I I think Joe and I see a lot of just being called in as experts in disputes and so part of what we see is either we're called in during a appraisal you might be called in as an expert witness pre-trial or you get called in as an expert during trial and what you're starting to see is is some of this uh move into legal areas when people or the restorers get it long from the start so I want to talk about that and and bring Joe in for this discussion so we've got restore heat and water damage to the structure and uh this is interesting when you get into the parameters I don't know why but we've seen a lot of restorers that leave the water damage and it's a fire that then has a fire truck dumped into it and you're dealing with heat damage uh you're dealing with residual water damage and high humidity and then because the building isn't necess necessarily or or the claims decisions haven't necessarily been made you're not seeing that humidity control be put in place and so one of the concerns that you've got is if you're going in there with the adjuster or with the insurance company and you're working on the project you're looking for the heat damage materials and try to set that tone early which is hey we're we're looking for the heat uh it may not be that the the materials are burnt but they're just they've been exposed to a high heat uh how are we going to deal with the water and how are we going to class water and then what are we going to do with the structure and contents and Joe this is something that I'm going to say the water damage for whatever reason people believe they'll just dry itself and and we see that more on Fires than I I'd say any other one because it comes in as a fire loss but that water is not necessarily being addressed are you seeing that where you are yeah I I think what happens is everybody just gets focused on the damage to the structure and the contents and their mind starts going to the actual repairing of the building and packouts and so forth what one thing I will say is you know in defense of of those that you know don't set uh humidity controls you know most often the fire department's either pulling the meter or the utility companies coming and popping the breaker at the uh at the Transformer so power can be an issue and then there's always you know is there investigations going to happen and so forth so I get it if if if we don't uh immediately Rush In And set a bunch of dry equipment but it certainly should be on the radar yeah so this is a discussion we've had before which is should you be drying these jobs in a contaminated State and uh you know it goes against the standard if you were say well you should you know dve a category three uh or or one with hazardous materials or on site so let's say the particulate potentially is hazardous and should you be drying it and there's there's an interesting concept which is if if we're drawing the the contaminants uh so that we prevent the secondary damage of mold are we doing any additional damage by blowing those contaminants around and um I've started to lean towards that we probably should be doing that if we're trying to reduce the severity of the loss even though it's a deviation from the standard I what do you think about that J well I get it depends okay and I'm gonna say that a lot today it depends on the severity of the loss and so forth and you know the the S500 certainly allows deviation in the instance of a fire for humidity control that is certainly allowed um I I like I said before I think it comes back to everybody thinks fire they're thinking you know repairing the damage and getting out what what needs to be done but in the instance of the apartment that we're going to talk about a little bit later um that is a perfect example of something should be done right away to protect those extreme high value contents so I think by putting it on everybody's radar they can they can think about that but each loss is different and the ones I've been dealing with lately are pretty significant um so you know when you start tearing entire roofs off and walls out and and all the windows doors things like that um you know most often I I don't know I don't know that uh in a case like that that you need to be too awful worried about getting in there right away and setting some humidity controls because most of it's going to be replaced yeah well and and and and it's a good point and then becomes so so to the to to your point if the severity is so extreme that it just becomes another part of maybe it's going to be included in the fire and smoke uh remediation um then potentially you're not worried as much about it but severity matters I I just throw it out there because it's something it's a change of mindset which is you should potentially deviate uh to lower the severity and that's a conversation we'll have with an adjuster to say what are we going to do with it uh and should we be doing this other process even just getting dehumidifiers in there to control the humidity from without drying it just do a normal stabilization is something that we should consider when we look at this next area here um which is removing the contaminants of fire right now in the industry one of the big trends is to get in there and instead of focusing on removing the contaminants it's focusing on trying to knock the odors down and um you know we're trying to primarily remove soot Char Ash uh remove the particulate clean and those particulates or that that that the byproducts of the fire is what's causing your odor issues that you're trying to clean and all of a sudden you're going to hit it with a a deodorization technique or or an order control technique and you're going to try to remove the thing that you're looking for so so you're looking for that one sign of hey we we may have an issue later on we have particulate located somewhere in the building and we're knocking down those faint traces of contaminants and I I start looking at it and going well if you remove the fire contaminant if you remove the contaminant of the fire and then you come in and you go to remove the residual uh smoke odor rather than trying to neutralize it you're actually physically trying to remove that that foreign substance inside the building you could get a better restoration than if you're going in and knocking it down and and Joe I know you're not a big fan of the marketing of a lot of products in the industry but um when we look at this it comes down to sort of we're get into the four steps of cleaning but primarily we're here to remove contaminants of fire remove the foreign substances and then deal with the residual smoke OD or are you are are what's your thoughts on that well anybody that knows me knows I'm not I'm not a a chemical guy I don't I don't like applying chemicals to things when we're dealing with a fire loss um you need to focus heavily on Source removal any charred materials and so forth what's also important is to understand how that particular structure is put together depending on the age and and whether it's h residential or Light commercial heavy industrial so forth if if you have someone on your team who knows how that building is put together you're going to be far more successful remediating any potential o because you can miss things and never even know that you missed them and still have a a persistent social I'm I'm heavily in the remove the the bad material Camp um encapsulants do have a place um I use them very sparingly yeah now you you said that I want I want you to clarify because there's a lot of times you're not encapsulating the end of the fire you're could you explain your process well just before we get into it because you're you're not a chem guy and you're in a rare camp that doesn't go in and spray uh spray the walls yeah yeah we we do a lot of uh investigation but again I have um what I like to think is a little bit of better than average knowledge of how buildings are put together so when I go into a fire loss I start looking and thinking like the smoke where where is it most likely to tr what burn and what effect had on the structure how how hot did it get how much pressure do I think happened and so forth and then it's almost like I hate to use this term but it's a good ter in this case it's almost like a forensic investigation and once you have everybody involved on the same page we hunting it down but we Ed a lot of removal and and then another loss that we're working on right now um the cold air returns um were just framed in and when we got it opened up there was enough charring and smoke and soot we just replaced it all it's cheaper just to replace it than to try to clean it and seal it and spray it with whatever chemical you like and so forth so that's kind of my position on that yeah no I appreciate that that's and and it's a it's a change in the industry that we see is coming more and more that the the move to the last step of like spraying everything is starting to fade uh hopefully it it it goes to only when you need it this is an interesting one guys attempt to restore the building to pre-loss condition we we hear this discussion all the time well I just saw it on Facebook the other day is is well the the insurance policy is to return the insured back to pre-loss condition and it's mostly insurance policies about indemnification which is to return the insured to a financial position that they were in before I I know Joe's a a big proponent of watching your language and speaking very uh uh methodically about about things when you look at pre-loss condition and if your goal is to return things to a pre-loss condition that's not accurate to what we do in fire damage you generally restoring the building back to a better than pre-loss condition um which is why the term we used in the survey is to an agreed State and the reason why is where're we may come back and say we can't return that wall to its pre-loss condition we're going to paint it well that's an improvement we got to replace the kitchen that's an improvement yes they had a functioning kitchen before the fire but now they're getting a brand new kitchen not a 10 or 15 year old kitchen Joe what's your what's your thoughts there I know you're you're a word stickler and uh especially when you're writing reports but this is a particular one that we can get ourselves into trouble well I I think you did a good job of summarizing it you know I don't know the whole thing pre- condition is is interesting but in reality it's most often better and you hit it right on the head it's kind of hard to put back 10y old paint and 20-y old cabinets that have been damaged so generally it is an update or a renovation um things like that and I'll tell you that we run into a lot of older homes and a lot of them still have LA and plaster I have yet to have a single customer all the years I've been doing want LA and plaster we always go back with drywalk um it's just the trend and that's what people want so yeah reality it's not uh It's Not Unusual to have a much much better and updated building when they so so there's times here when when you're looking at what is the agreed State versus the pre-law state and there where it's really demonstrated is when you look at art or or things that have an oxidization to it so um this is a pretty good example of of an original art piece versus one that was oxidized and so you got that Greening out of of the of the statue if all of a sudden you have a fire and it's either heat damaged or there's particulate on it and you need to do a cleaning are you cleaning back to a new state are you cleaning back to where the patina was on the on the uh item prior to the loss you have to understand that and I think it's it's something you're you're looking is is it supposed to be weathered so when you get into artwork uh it's the artist intent that drives the state that you're trying to return it to uh if the artist's intent was to have it aged and weathered then returning it to a new state isn't necessarily a uh uh is going to be the right step even though it's something you potentially could do uh with either a media blast or laser or some some other cleaning uh technique same thing we see this with buildings is which one are you trying to get it back to this is a historical building you have a pre-loss and you have new what is the intent of the building do you want to put that oxidization back and you need to go and deal with that Joe you you've dealt with some historical buildings and some old Heritage type of uh structures um I remember you had a few a few losses we you and I talked about what what's your experience on this because you you've dealt with this where you've had to consider the pre-loss uh condition and and and the historical value of how it was looking before the the ltic place yeah and and you did a good job of summarizing it you know in this Photograph here you've got pre-loss and in the new you may have to force the pen of that before you put it up so that it has the effect that the architect intended or the owner I can't tell if what this building is it looks like a church but what what it is they expect and I would encourage everyone to have those conversations early on instead of after it's all up and done and you're looking for your final payment um you know the wolves that you showed are a great example wine is another thing if you're dealing with wine the dust is part of the patina um I would just encourage you to do as much research as you can before you get yourself in trouble this this Photograph here is a perfect example if if the insured is inspecting that new roof to look like the old roof and you didn't uh you didn't address that up you know before um you're probably going to be in a little bit of trouble yeah absolutely and it and and you get into the extreme I think this is our Parliament it was a Reno not an actual fire but it was a a great example and then when you look at what what what are you trying to do inside a structure and are we having those conversations uh prior to getting into it now I want to talk about smoke because I want to talk about the behaviors of smoke and and what we're looking at um you know Smoke's the vehicle that transports all the odor through the structure and it moves the particulate the particular moves as part of that smoke it's it's what makes up the smoke um so when you look at this when we start looking at smoke I don't know if it's you know we if you took an fsrt class you would have covered this but sometimes we forget it and it's pretty important when you start to look at what is the difference between the dry and wet smoke and and some of the properties that were going into it and and how does that affect your estimate how does it affect your timelines uh what is the expectations on your staff uh this really comes into play so when we start looking at wet smoke it's a it's a cold fire incomplete combustion typically it's synthetic combustibles but not always there's really strong odors and you've got larger particulate that is greasy it it smears um so if you want to try to determine whether you got a a wet smoke is that you'd have smearing and now inside a building you can have areas that'll have a wet smoke in other areas that don't and Joe you've come across this uh uh you've spoke highly of this in the courses we've been running but um wet smoke is is a much harder clean than than say a dry smoke sure yeah yeah it's just it's just the nature of the fire um the the the advantage that a wet smoke has is it's it's easily um discoverable and the restorer generally doesn't have as much difficulty to coming to an agreed scope with the uh with the carrier where we get into the dry smoke um that becomes a little bit more problematic getting an agreed scope up front um so yeah absolutely and then on dry smokes when we look at it you got the sort of the exact opposite hotter Burns uh usually is an oxygen rich environment you got complete combustion or mostly complete combustion and then you've got that dry right particulate so it's it's something that the hepac will do very well on whereas the greasy ones hepac doesn't do well at all on that one um but when you start looking at this you've got the dry smoke and as Joe said you're getting into that really hard uh definition how far did the smoke travel and and the greasy smoke is easy to see when you when you touch the surface it you'll know it and when we start to look at the dry smokes though they're not they're they're they're easier to clean but they still can get a same place so if you have a building that's that's under the pressure of of a fire it's it's a hot fire you've got different forces that at play you've got uh the thermodynamic forces that are pushing that high energy into low energy environments you've got velocity typically uh attributed to dry smoke so the smoke is moving faster due to the heat uh and that that thermal Rush that goes through a building all of that is going to IND indicate or or sorry are indicators that you should be looking for that smoke to be driven into the structure Joe what do you got on that because you were talking about being a forensic investigator on here and and and looking in the structure a dry smoke is going to be a little harder to find but it's also to your point where where are you looking for it or how are you looking for it yeah I I want to back up just a minute because you said something that I want to make sure that we clarify um I I actually believe that heping in most fire losses is a good first step even if it is a wet smoke um unless it is just so greasy that that there's no particulate going to come loose when you start disturbing it I I the more I do this the more firmly I I stand on that point um that heping should be a first step it's it's not only takes care of all of the loose particulate but it's a health and safety issue too in my mind so with that point being made when when you talk about dry smoke I just had one a couple weeks ago where the control board and the furnace burned up and of course the furnace was operating and it pumped this um but very pungent odor throughout the entire home and when you walked in it kind of hit you in the face but there were no physical signs of smoke residue anywhere and that was a real struggle we actually W up bowing out of that job for other reasons but the adjuster was fighting tooth and nail on everything we wanted to do or proposed to do because they couldn't see any evidence of the fire um even though the furnace was smoked up and and the control board with all the Plastics and so forth and you couldn't go anywhere in the house without that Terri terrible terrible odor um so I think you asked me a little bit about how do you investigate that Chris is that true yeah yeah well I think you need to start where what was the source in the one that I just told you about the furnace we know that that furnace is putting out xamon CFM and it's got a a distribution system throughout the entire home so in an instance like that I'm going to go the furthest point away from the furnace and start there and start working my way back towards the source trying to come to some type of delineation as to what's affected and what's not but I usually a on the side of caution and that particular project I I scoped uh an entire hepac a clean um replace Carpeting and padding and I believe um all of the soft Furniture the the the heavily upholstered furniture and that particular carrier um didn't didn't necessarily like that idea so after a little bit of back and forth we decided to uh move on to better things that the actual insured wasn't being as Cooperative as yeah know that makes sense uh one of the other fires so so when we start talking about that i' I've been involved in many disputes now where when we get into protein fires um this is one that needs to be handled differently than everything else it it seems to be getting people into trouble um it's a special class of smoke the way the way I Define it is is this is one that seems to be the most problematic because it's the least visual it has the most I'd say one of the worst odors you can have and for whatever reason it's the certain particulate or the lack thereof that causes a lot of this issue now when you look at this bird this is actually one that's very very slightly burned but if you look at when a turkey Burns we're getting in the season where you're going to get some of these you got a 14 pound piece of meat flesh that's being burnt and normally if if you get to a really good protein fire there's very little of that where did that 14 pounds or the 12 pounds of protein go it's it's been vaporized and moved throughout the house and um when we start to look at this there's there's a lot that you need to consider when you're dealing with these fires um when we look at the the protein caution here is is that you're looking for a really thin greasy residue you'll sometimes see some Browning on the cabinets you'll see some Browning uh in that kitchen area and then after that it can be really tough to go and locate where that that smoke is gone because there's no visual soot contaminant there but there is on the surfaces and you may need to do a wipe to figure it out but a lot of times we're seeing people hitting this with oxidizers and not trying to clean and remove that odor um Joe I know I've had some really bad ones in the past we're removing a lot of materials because we're trying to get in and and get that cleaned out and the adjusters are fighting us because they're like well there's no no heat damage here so why are you removing materials but the reality is this one is is a hard one to clean um what's your experience on that or or what would be your advice to these guys on on dealing with these types of losses yeah and and you hit it right on the head the adjuster they can't see that that clear demarcation line where the heat started and stopped so they struggle with it also but um again it comes back to having an understanding of how the building's put together and if someone burns the turkey I think the last one I did it was actually a ham that they burned up but uh you know it's that's a tough one because you will often um have some disagreement with the carrier as to what needs to be done um it just takes a lot of elbow grease and experience to know how far you have to go the nice thing about a protein fire is that the odors do diminish fairly rapidly with enough air flow that doesn't negate the need for some investigation old fashioned elbow grease yeah when you when you get into the ones where where the smoke lingers it's typically that you've got a pretty substantial Bild build up somewhere in the structure that hasn't been cleaned and then is left and now you're dealing with with the byproducts of of a protein fire and an incomplete cleaning and then an upside customer and so on these ones you know you're seeing partial packouts or hey the smoke was in the kitchen even though went throughout the house I think we see the discoloration in the kitchen uh we've got some stuff coming up where we'll talk a little bit more about proteins and and how to how to test and to visually show what you're looking for and and some of the mistakes that people are making with their uh with their visual inspections um I would I would throw just one little tip out there for everyone especially when we're dealing with the turkey that you mentioned yeah cabinets typically are not installed flush against the wall oh this is a good one yeah yeah they're generally shimmed out and most of the backs and sides of cabinets are raw wood those those um Havens for odors and soot and smoke and so forth so think about that guys when you're when your on your next uh fire loss whether it be a protein fire or another fire but I I had to uh look at one I don't think I don't remember who it was for but I had to go look at one where they tried to clean it and the cleaner that whatever whatever cleaner they use they above the upper cabin has actually forced a lot of containments behind the cabin so yeah I think you also get those voids and those Corner units you know when they're cut on a 45 into the corner and so you got this Gap that if you go up if you stood on top of the cabinet and you look down you see a big pocket there that typically gets left as well that that's called a blind corner or Lazy Susan typically on the uppers blind Corner in the upper oh yeah yeah okay void but a lot of times at the blind corner where two cabinets come together but yeah yeah well I've seen I've seen the the corner the one I'm speaking particularly is a built corner unit and then they have a 45 in there but it's the uh it's an actual corner unit is that blind Corner oh no that would just be a corner cabinet I'm okay so I was yeah wait in the upper cabinets

homebrew your best source for the newest atari 2600 and 7800 games and we're going to prove that tonight yet again with an exclusive world premiere of bob decresenzo's new game parsec and it's not just a new game it is something special because it's a new game that's going to be going into a bios chip okay that gets put into the 7800 inside of it but we'll get to more of that later okay uh made in conjunction with revenge um we're also gonna be playing cosmic canyon by kario yojimbo uh words game and uh two dragon defenses dragon defense and dragon defense 2021 the other one was twent from 2015. um so yeah uh nostalgic has uh one of his cats and a drink excellent i have my drink drink i have a drink we're fully into summer now that it's uh the 25th it is hot 22nd of june one day after yeah it is hot for here and i'll explain why that is it's hot for here because here we don't have air conditioning because it doesn't get hot but when it gets hot it gets really hot yes because we can't do anything about it because it normally only gets up to low to mid 20s usually all the heat down south is now coming up north yeah you see those weather maps yeah arrows pointing from circling up the wild fires of california up to vancouver canada it's all it's all funneling straight north right now stop doing the gender reveals people uh i want to thank all the twitch subscribers that

news uh al from atari age has uh updated uh because these people keeping people up to date on the new shipments oh yeah everybody's like all right christmas where's my games and they're uh they're pitchforks and torches outside of his house so he has to keep them calm by keeping on posting these updates um yeah that's what you do uh this is his latest update time for another update a bit this was um today uh five hours ago uh first i have all the pre-order 2600 50 200 and 7800 games tested and labeled nice i've roughly 25 more atari 8-bit games to make some pre-order some older about 40 jaguar games to build and we'll be working on those later today the 8-bit games will definitely finish today the jaguar e-prompts have been programmed solder those today second all the boxes have been glued and assembled now they're just waiting for assembly of the games and manuals into the boxes we'll be working on that tomorrow should go pretty pretty quickly now uh the box is finished anyway blah blah blah is going to take uh i need to spend some more time tomorrow uh et cetera et cetera so here's the um drawers full of games uh that have been labeled now look at them all look at all those dragons cash the end uh avalanche miss galactipus oh nice ninja sky look at all those games tower of rubble hugo hunt cannon head clash is that one yeah ninja more ninja sky nice uh venture very popular zookeeper extremely popular looks so nice lined up like that everything facing the same way deep stone catacombs i'm very happy look at how many people order deep stone caterpillar yeah it's such a great game yeah uh these represent just half the drawers with finished games in them does not include any of the extra games uh for these orders probably another 200 or so cards wow and there are uh all the glued and folded boxes so if you ever wanted to do some stats on orders and count these ridges you know exactly how many orders al gets and relative numbers according to each game um so there's some interesting things um so they're coming uh that's all for now time to solder some eight atari 8-bit boards um yes holy wow al is a beast he is doing this all on his own his free time crazy so i like s ramirez says i see my copy of the end that one yeah right there hey ground trooper thank you for subscribing ground trooper um and we need double-ended universe and galaxian oh that would be very cool yeah so i'm gonna use but you'd have to make a new cart or you'd have to destroy some relatively expensive double enders on ux carts what did you say xonox sawnox xonox yeah probably sauna uh that sounds about right yep yeah so uh not only is uh bob uh pac-man plus making uh this new game kila parsec he is also uh making a new case for 7 800's um because i've read they're fairly little yeah um this is version one of his case very cool look at that and this is version two which is really nice it has yellow stripes it has a little bit of the um oh what i want to say like power tool flare to it with black and yellow like like it could be it could be um um dewalt dewalt brand that's what it is yeah i like that i like that yeah so it's coming along and the big uh the cool thing about this is for modders it's got an interchangeable back panel so if you upgrade it to s video or composite or component or rgb you can uh swap that out and it's got nice big labeled buttons there and it's it's really really clean yeah really nice so great job on that um so what he says been working on this for a while uh this case is smaller fits with or without rf shielding and the board sits flat meaning the atari vox will now fit without need of an adapter cable i i'm a little about plugging something directly into the back of the 2600 to 7800 just kind of hanging there unless you put something underneath it to support it because otherwise it's just kind of sagging yeah uh but i i know some people do it i i have uh extenders on all the ports in the 7800 and the 2600 because we we're far from it and i have to extend things up i just want to say crossbow referenced wanting a purple one for to match his purple dragonfly card well if they're being printed you can make them in any i like that i like that idea match the dragonfly to either the detail or the entire plastic like the green one make it all perfect detail would be nice actually yeah the stripes just the stripe black and then you can choose which stripe yeah and maybe he's gonna be i don't know if he's gonna be uh opening this up so you can download the stl files is that what it is so people can make their own oh i see so they can they can 3d print it or something because usually people make the cases then they put up the files and then there's hundreds of places that you can send it off to and they'll ship it to you and what you do is you get it locally you get it done locally and then um the shipping isn't very much i wasn't expecting this well yeah we want to report on news and this is pretty cool news it is i mean that's a beautiful beautiful yeah so oh yeah that's the idea perfect yeah so that that makes a lot of sense to uh open it up and just let people print it wherever they want because i'm sure bob is not wanting to get into the hardware side of things selling stacks of cases yeah why not 3d print yeah yeah he's in it for the glory now i want now i want a 3d printer there we go yeah they're super cool and everybody's figuring out like what the buttons are going to look like oh there's a nice printer oh yeah yeah double down has that printer it's nice and it's got a bunch of different filaments at the bottom uh i think there is some discussion about the logos somewhere i don't know if i can find them quickly but they're on the next page maybe i'll post the stl file when it's done yes awesome oh there's some now i need a friend with a 3d printer yeah exactly lots of people online to make friends with yeah uh so there's like power pause um reset and select so that's a proposed uh pac-man plus propose these these are very clean very nice um so you can put them right on the buttons themselves rather than having text or you can have both yep there aren't many changes needed is there bob just moving the side vents down towards uh the more to the front yeah there's some discussion about where the vents are gotcha and also keeping it uh cool i think some some cooling as well uh definitely needed right now it's very hot here and very hot throughout the us as well yeah yeah oh there added vents to the left and right sides added a back changeable uh plate so there's the back changeable plate right there um very very cool so that's the news uh so what we've got today is not a normal game i mean it is a game but it's not going to be put in a cartridge okay what it's going to be put on is a chip that goes inside the 7800 what this chip does is it looks to this chip when you boot up the 7800 and it identifies whether it's an ntsc whether it's a pal um whether the cartridge you have in the slot is a 2600 or 7800 and it makes decisions from there okay uh on the pal versions of the 7800 they had a game built in they had asteroids built into this context on the ntsc version there was nothing built in of course um so what their what uh bob and revenge is looking to do mike sarna is to replace this chip with some upgrades to fix some issues and also put a game on it for everyone ntsc and pal people and what the game is is kiloparsec and that's what we're going to take a look at tonight cool uh and crossbow says ntsc also has the encryption check that the pal units don't oh interesting so i'm guessing the pal carts didn't have encryption but the ntsc ones did did so i wonder why that would be uh it's it's very similar to uh nes and famicom famicom didn't have any uh checks to make sure it was a legitimate card famicon came up first yes and they went oh my god piracy yes and and then they put the piracy uh anti-piracy check on the ntsb would the ntsc version have come out first before the pal or vice versa before the anti-seize the pal came out first no i think it's the ntsc one that's kind of weird then no encryption check in the bios sorry i i know i'm interrupting how is that soda is it good that's fine i've had it before oh okay yeah um south america's really like pineapple soda sorry i i actually want to try something before you finish it okay thank you sorry i apologize yeah so this is an 8k game which is a very small game for a 7 800 good stuff like i don't know what is the smallest game uh retail game for the 7800 i think it's they're all bigger than 8k i think they're all 16 or more pretty sure atari always released the ntsc version first didn't they crossbow says probably no encryption check in this bios so why do you need an encrypt oh so if there's no encryption check it just foregoes it and plays the game no matter what no matter what okay right so it ignores if there is encryption on the cartridge it's like just play it it's fine okay um so the journey to this game started with a trebor let me uh see if i have this up i don't think i do uh trevor posting a great utility on march 21st uh that was made by revenge i believe uh for testing out crts for a screen safe area um screen safe area is used for crts because crts don't show everything it's not like modern televisions lcds where it's like 1920 by 1080 for hd and you see every pixel crts had like rounded corners and every crt had like different sized rounded corners as well um so you had to be kind of careful like this i i know about this because i i've worked with video for a while and back to crt era so you had to put titles above so it didn't get obscured in the lower half like titles lower thirds channel bugs you know those little like channel nine and they have this little thing in the corner like you couldn't have it so far down over scan sure yeah um so you had to make sure everything was in there so if it said you know you know john smith reporting um on the lower lower thirds title that'd be up enough and over enough too that you could see everything anyway so a program was made by revenge um called the non-interactive title screen um so we're going to take a look at that right now uh let's see test this is it yes okay well i mean it's not much to it it just it's a static screen uh if it loaded up there we go there we go so you can see it there danger zone so you want to definitely stay out of the red you can maybe go into the yellow um but you definitely want if you're in the blue you're all good so people would put this on there use this program in conjunction with their 7800s and put it on their crts and they would be able to adjust things so they could adjust things so it all fits or program their games so they know that they're not going to they're always going to be okay cut off the score yeah or something like that i mean on uh lcds it's going to be totally fine yeah yeah lcds show everything right everything including like if you've ever played an nes on uh lcd there's a bunch of garbage at the bottom yeah um and it's i think it's like loading up extra um tiles gotcha um and also there's like this juddering thing on the left or right as well yeah and you wouldn't see that on a crt so they they put that in there so it's there so you wouldn't yeah can you get rid of that oh sorry i don't know what that's going on that's just the settings genesis games have this uh cram dots in the lower left oh sorry just making sure it's the bottom ah i don't know what it's being bad sorry there leave it uh below the screen uh game screen that you can see as well so some of the earlier consoles you could see garbage all over the screen uh same with uh vhs tapes you can see like oh yeah weird signals as well in the lower lower portion i know what you're talking about with that um and he also posted a non-interact uh non-interactive title screen as well for the 7800 and it was really really cool so let's take a look at that [Music] i know this seems like it has nothing to do with the game but believe me it does um so very very nice title screen the original one is just kind of a static screen uh when it loads games and then bob posted after this was posted bob posted he said i'd love to have that title screen in bios instead of the standard 7 800 boot screen oh yeah so it's like this nice oh look at those scrolling colors that's cool so that conversation evolved on march 26th into bob talking about creating a new pal ntsc bios and how much room there is for a new game to put it in put in there and then revenge posted there would be enough room to fit an 8k game to fit into the new 16k bios because this takes up 16 uh 8k and if you have a 16k you have 8k left over uh so he said 16k looks to be the pal bios size so the game would have to be smaller if we're aiming for compatibility uh currently the fuji which is the left thing and the atari 7800 graphic take up most of the two times 4k graphic blocks i can skip holy dma and put them consecutively in memory but uh i i think 8k for the game might be a bit better on then april 11th bob posted after his developer spotlight after we had him on the show so for those who watched it uh now know what revenge trebor and i are working on the non-interactive title screen as a bios with a small non-cart game a couple of things it hasn't been released yet although we have figured out why the arm 2600 games wouldn't originally play we're still working through issues with the uh cuddle cart 2 showing up with a corrupt menu about half the time so they're also working on enhancements to the bios as well so things are more compatible with the 7800 bios um i will be making a small 8k exclusive game to this bios when there's no cart inserted so if you don't have a cartridge in you sell the game this game will play very cool and it's great for testing i guess to make sure your 1700 works and he says i have a third point but i can't remember what it was um and then on april 26th uh the cuddle cart two compatibility issues were solved uh he said revenge and i got the bios working with the color cart 2 dragonfly concerto and harmony and a bunch of 2600 games that i tested including the arm games we need to do more testing as i have a no non multi 7 800 carts other than for the games i've done but i'm going to continue working on my built-in game now so on june 15th bob posted some screenshots of his new game and announced the new game as killo parsec he said here's a sneak peek at some screenshots of the game that plays when there's no cartridge inserted i'm now at the point where i've run out of room to fit a few more features in but i'm working on it please remember that this will be an 8k game so it won't be as involved as some other ones hope this one turns out okay he's always very very cautious about his cats and he has no reason to ever be but it's it's good it's good to be cautious and not to be like cautious a little bit humble because sometimes things do go south right they do yeah yeah i understand it's good to lower people's expectations and then blow them away uh i hope this one turns out okay i'll give it to zero page homebrew to review once it's finished today is happening it will be exclusive only to this by us so he doesn't have plans to put it on a cartridge it's just for the bios um so this is actually a port of a game uh it's a port from a computer in fact to texas instruments a ti-99 so we're going to take a look at what the original game looks like for uh this and it was called parsec not not killer uh one of the lights isn't working if it's dimmer today for everyone is did someone say oh yeah no one said anything about that nobody cares yeah uh this is what happens you you you know it's hot you keep all the lights off and then you try to turn them on at the last minute and one of them just doesn't turn on yeah it's the same one i've been having trouble with yeah but uh it's fine today because it's hot in here anyway so fewer lights is not a terrible uh not a terrible thing so yeah what the hell did not oh no okay would it be possible to add a bios chip that would boot games off an sd card oh that's an interesting thought is there uh hmm i'll leave that to the heart interesting yeah exactly it sounds like an interesting thought though you're recreating the dragonfly in the in the bios inside the console okay if you're creating a new bios i don't know i assume i assume there's limitless possibilities even though that's probably not yeah there's probably a lot more to it than just putting an sd card turn off the lights and you'd really be after dark that's true yeah uh so this is so this original one does have voice um so parsec is a horizontally scrolling shooter written by jim dramas and paul urbanus for the texas instruments ti 99 4a and published in 1982. dramas also programmed car wars and munchman for the tia 4a uh the player in parsec yes what is a tia 99 4a uh i don't know much about it but it is a home computer it's a home computer that was put up by texas instruments who made a lot of chips that went into other computers okay so i guess they went why don't we just make our own computer yeah i was going to say i hear texas instruments i think um calculator but but i want obviously they made chips for calculations so did commodore before they made computers they made calculators well that seems like a natural progression but uh yeah yeah um and we watched a bit on you know texas instruments uh on the 8-bit guy's channel where he went through all the texas the texas companies which is very interesting yeah yeah um so the player in parsec pilots the spaceship through 16 differently colored levels i mean this is it's not the same this is not the same this is more like um kiloparsec is kind of inspired by this it takes a lot of elements but it's not the same gameplay still just warning you right now um so what i'm reading is not really super relevant the object is to destroy all enemy ships while being avoided avoiding being shot colliding with any flying objects in the ground or overheating one's laser cannon but it does you'll see what it shares it shares a lot but it's a little different than this okay um okay so there are already some alternate biases out there um there is one so let's take a look at some of them i'll switch i actually don't need to switch back miss command says commodore had to make chips because t.i wanted to drive them out of the calc business oh oh really and uh ironically uh does texas instruments still exist i don't think either of those companies still exist not in their current form i think yeah i guess texas instruments still makes calculators i i think casio is selling that market up yeah yeah i don't i don't know about that i yes they do wow um so uh the brewing academy does make one right now that they sell uh bios upgrade with asteroids because asteroids was the pal game built in so they are selling one that you could put into an ntsc or pal yeah if you wanted to um you must be able to desolder as well as cut traces on the motherboard so yeah be careful just buying this it's not it's not as simple as de-soldering is not an easy process as we found out when you were trying to desolder one of the chips off of as i destroy things yeah it was a good time uh interesting ti is still around i i mean that name still sounds i i'm i mean it was very i figured that was still around um um i was also able to find a number of other alternate bios's including one with pole position two built into it as well um and blue azur did an extensive post about three 7 800 bios's um and also created bin files up to 32k that would be possible to uh use on the 7800 and uh including that threat is a disassembly from 2012 of the 1984 bios so you can see he actually made this as well for pac-man plus i don't know if um bob remembers this thread uh blue azure making this uh because he made uh a custom title screen same pacman plus for it um because there he is um but but at the time he didn't have time to to work on a game again let's see where is it see there's the pole position too um games where it says there we go not uh being in a position do it to do a bios mod soon um curious of a screenshot so now he is and now it's happening um and there's also an alternative bias called devos bios that includes a cart dumper that dates back to the early 90s to the 90s and early 2000s that you're able to dump games off of cartridges using it um so let's um yeah let's get into it let's take a look at the game preamble you're sick of listening to me more games right okay people are talking about ti calculators right now which is quite interesting captain classic i am gonna have to follow that link i i find that stuff interesting i was never in a place where they required graphing calculators or anything like that nope really we were never required to have them but obviously i have one because i was in uh you know physics classes and i was in physics classes we always had to hand draw graphs all the time i remember doing a lot of them went to university physics right yeah i took you after me yeah so that's really weird i i don't remember needing a graph but i i took uh physics for the uh biosciences so we didn't do a lot of graphing i don't know we did a lot of carrying the error oh god carrying the errors yeah standard deviations and error calculations and oh it was insane but anyway you ready yep okay killer persec by pac-man plus and revenge i still mind i forgot how to use it yeah come on switch over don't remember needing graphic uh graphing calculators for anything and it's a black screen not for us but free oh this reverse polish notation i i don't remember any graphing calculator i remember doing a lot what was happening um calculus was brutal i remember dealing with a calculus issue at work and like my brain almost exploding because i'm like oh yeah you have to integrate something i'm like can't do that anymore you okay what's going on we can see it black screen oh no oh my god pac-man plus atari age i'm always nervous you guys are going to find a new bug there are no bugs we're having we're having video issues right now i've extensively tested this and that's the bug it was working just before ti 83 83 to basically cheat math class see when i took university level calculus we were not allowed calculators we like they wouldn't let us bring in things we could program into into the into the exams my calculus was particularly brutal and they also had a policy if you didn't get the right answer check check okay well i forced it to use the audio now it was on default and whatever when i i think because i unplugged the game oh it's like oh i'm gonna use this as the audio by the way terrible oh no uh check okay so hopefully the game has sounds okay here's kilo parsec yes anyway and to answer your question because because people were saying they didn't hear the end of my story all i was saying is we weren't allowed calculators first your calculus university of toronto brutal brutal um we weren't allowed calculators and you got zero on on the question if you didn't get the right answer so even if you got every step correct if you made one mistake halfway through um you would just got zero they didn't care if you showed your work and and all that crap so yeah brutal it's horrible still crackling crackling oh no you get nothing good exactly however you might get like 10 out of 40 on a calculus exam but then they curve everyone so suddenly you're at 80 percent because they made the exam so hard yeah not a good time anyway very occasional crackle it looks like it's coming from the video game yep there just happened right yeah and again it's coming from the video game from uh the capture device oh no calculus was one of my favorite courses i had a great professor i didn't do as badly as i would have thought i think i liked physics more though physics was i really enjoyed physics class and i'm kind of regretful i didn't go into a physics field instead of biology and genetics but um but physics we we did physics for the life sciences let's play please okay sorry no no uh so yeah kill a parsec it has go through the options no no go up one or two players one or two nice difficulty normal hardware and go to left left easy easy i would suggest putting on the easy first date i will try it it's a hard game lives i would say ranking it up to five excuse me and i find it easier with rapid fire on on yes um so this game you can overheat so don't hold down your fire button you can overheat it yes so you have to back it off fire back it off yeah like oh you mean you're like in the game yeah not this i was like the chip is over here that's right so back off that doesn't quite seem right okay that makes sense that's why you don't want rapid fire right you would overheat it is working that's good good and they crackled but at least it's working and i had a great chemistry professor in university too who was really old he was a professor emeritus um i don't know his background i don't know why i'm talking about this but i just feel like talking about universities well talk about the game oh yes you should however he was so old at one of one of his uh lectures yeah i figured that was probably not a good idea um he actually referenced meeting niels bohr who came up with the like the theory of positive and net negative charges and electrons he's like oh yeah back when i was a student how where did that come from um when i i met niels bohr and i think the whole class the class of i would do about this one oh you can move back and forth uh was it was just hilarious and you're just like wow this guy is like really old uh i thought it was a power-up too at the beginning but it wasn't it's death is it anything crosses everything everything everything is death that's a i mean honest ah honestly as far as games go if you just assume everything is death you probably will do okay oh the video game is choppy is it troubles today yeah it is between the lights and the oh you're gonna die because i'm gonna make you die okay don't overheat it [Laughter] okay i'm gonna unplug it again oh no oh no i don't know if it's the heat but it's definitely hot in here things are going to be a little wacky for a second okay start to start playing it's the same settings okay oh that's yay can't see us but we're still here oh there we are are we choppy no we're not choppy the game's not choppy oh technology so info from bob uh the bios creation itself was all revenge who i've added to this threat uh what we've worked on together was the detection of the 2600 7800 regarding features most be the ability to bypass the splash screen by hitting pause upon startup only uh although it's only roughly five seconds so these are some of the features that you will get when you put the bios in also the pal bios doesn't seem to detect the newer arm carts correctly this one does so that's another upgrade so pal consoles uh will now be able to on the 7800 we'll be able to play arm games which is a huge upgrade actually uh finally personally i love the fuji logo on this one also this bios is going to be open source as is the game so you'll be able to actually play the game outside of the bios chip as well as far as distributing the bios chip uh itself i haven't thought that far ahead oh you don't die on that uh i don't know i think i drew myself back so okay i think you do um i know that crossbow wants to do his first i know he offers that kind of service so there's a possibility in that and i know there's uh three people who were offering to do uh installation of the bios chips and i know there is one person who is offering to create the bios chips as well game audio is known in sync good lord that one is actually much easier if it's not one thing it's another these these things attacking you from behind them that is kind of unique you don't see a lot of oh and shooting at you very deadly so it is it is it's a lot of dodging because decide to reset the game capture and apparently that resets the offset why didn't you move up or down i did but you don't you don't move up and down very quickly no you don't you're quite slow you're faster than them though i don't know if you are oh don't don't worry about being picky i am just as picky i would be upset if i found out after the fact that all the audio was off it's like that friend who doesn't tell you if you have um spinach in your teeth yeah it's like no i want to know i don't want you to pretend like it's not there so you're getting better uh they always get above them okay that's a good that's a good tip oh move down oh okay yeah you can see they do follow a pattern so you kind of have to memorize those they do go on patterns don't they they do these guys go down all the time it looks like same as from behind i guess yeah i feel like they are charging they are going down all of them but they bounce off of things so you have to care oh no those go up now so it's a different guy and those go so this is from revenge mike sarna the bios development challenges mostly stem from the differences in how the 7800 operates in bios mode versus cart mode if i had to pick one defining characteristic characteristic about gcc as an engineering company they had a knack for doing clever things with very little silicon uh and the method they use for allowing the bios and the cart to share the same address space in the 7800 is no different in a nutshell whenever the 76502 calls out for data from an upper address if the bios is enabled three logic gates stop the card port from seeing three upper address lines this makes high addresses look like very low addresses to the cartridge board so low in fact that they aren't part of the cart's rom so the card stays silent except this scheme has some non-intuitive quirks you need to know when creating a bias such as needing to avoid access to certain console ram locations when a 2600 cart or cover cart could be plugged in or needing to limit the address space the bios itself runs in prior to handing off to the in bios game figuring out these quirks took a lot of staring at 7800 schematics a lot of hypothesis testing reading through the gcc bios disassembly and going through a lot of trial and error when we first started this thing it seems like it would be a fairly easy project it's a good thing we were ignorant of how many hours we were going to be spending on troubleshooting sometimes that is the key to success being ignorant about how hard the thing you're doing because you would never do it if if you realize how hard it was yeah you'd be like hell no why am i doing why am i wasting my time on x yeah would you have done the documentary if you knew it would take you five years to get it done uh that well there's no guarantee of result when you do it either so so pac-man plus bob um is this a really really really small 7 800 game like 8k seems to be really small um for for these because i usually usually see 48 or 32. you have to shoot him because he moves way faster than you can move back and forth last life no they're fast they move fast i think the shorter the distance the faster they move or maybe they just get faster over time they are slow before they hit a wall yes then they speed up they speed up the distance could be coming from behind our front oh he's leaving things bombs vines oh my god wow good run that was fun this is cool i like this thanks bob that's an awesome game there's only one game smaller space for seven eight hundred it was four kilometers okay james is gonna have to pay play at they're all thirty two levels of kilo percent there's 32 levels how many levels did i get through does it even say oh no there's flags i didn't even check to see how many flags i got what level did she get to i don't know not that far not that far five or six i don't know i'm gonna play in the same settings because i want to see how far we can get gotcha um i did not make it as far as you did when i played it a couple times that i did before the show so there is a game ending if i play long enough no but level 32 and that repeats so you that's why they said you have to play all 32 levels well you'll get further than me i'm sure maybe after i don't know what's in this margarita but it's pretty strong what did they normally put well it's usually tequila but i don't know they refused to make a virgin margarita yeah i cuz james wanted one what about me because i don't like the taste alcohol uh especially tequila oh my god the worst of the worst well i'd rather um drink tequila because it was already pre-pre-mixed in the in the slushie machine which i find kind of funny i don't know that surprised me pre-alcoholized is it the meteors now coming down um no from behind it's behind it's the muffins and then the muffins from behind and then the meteors and then uh the shooty guys from behind they're like arrows i am guessing the cavern is random because i thought the muffins yeah uh bob is the blue tavern blueberry muffins the zucchini muffins it's too tight there the strawberry muffins possibly brown muffins is the cavern um randomized because there's no way you're gonna put this it looks pretty random doesn't it or it could it could be the same i don't know oh my god i like how that when they get uh up against the wall they kind of go dude they move down really fast because they have no room to go cavern is not red it's not round so it is repeating geez oh it's a repeating is it repeating it must be 32 levels of cavern data seems to be a lot of data yeah you probably want it so it's not it doesn't come up with weird terrible designs and i'm thinking captain man 2d came in late so what are we watching he says we are watching kilo parsec from bob tecenzo pac-man plus and it is destined to be put in it repeats after about a minute okay that it did seem like because you have a nice variety of wide and narrow back and forth i'm guessing you have to shoot the muffins until they're all gone because it took a long time to get through the muffin stage we're all calling the muffins from this point forever they've been dubbed muffins and these look like um muffin tops muffin tops ironing boards irons no oh my gosh uh they remind me of those little pointy uh paper clips but i can't remember there might be anything oh my god this is a terrible narrow passage it is new oh my god what the hell the train is red from the table [Music] is it deterministic pseudorandom to save space that sounds very philosophical deterministic pseudorandom i like the donkey kong edges in the top and bottom donkey kong girders girders yeah oh yeah yeah you're right yeah oh that's what ah no help me is that supposed to happen ah pac-man plus you might have found him oh my god it got smaller and smaller oh my god oh my god i'm not hitting them is level two possible yeah i'm only on level one you have to get through 32 to get to level two wow i thought the flag oh god you found a bug yeah i think so i think so i think so you closed in on me that was hilarious and that's how you never win the game yeah it's like you're doing too good a pixel perfect navigation that's old school difficulty yeah i just i'm just not good enough to make it make it through that one pixel passageway it's funny you're back at the beginning now oh these are the same i didn't make it to 32. no you're in two you're at flag two now so you've cycled through one level so i've seen all of the types of ships i think that means yeah okay yeah whoa that's nice 32 is a long a long journey so that's good that's a very i want to see you hit the uh the cavern you can captain of death i just hope i get an extra man by then that's so the cave part that was collapsed at the level end no it's too tiny oh they're fast now they're faster it seems to shoot all four so i shot two now there's only two left you have to hit a certain number now there should be only one left there you go and then you go to the next level i think that's the only one where you have to shoot oh no it's death and i have no extra lives oh can i make it is that a different point so it's like a cycle extra life one extra life at 50 000. okay so try it try a harder level and see if uh so we're going to play two players is it bouncer coin yeah that's right uh we'll still keep it on five yeah keep it on five but go is it handoff or is it two joysticks for two players what model that's a good question uh i did post it at some point mean that is mean uh a385 oh yeah i posted it somewhere at some point a385 a3 i know it is passing back okay yeah but two joysticks or one oh oh my god it's fast oh it's better better as i run into two no time for drinking no it's two joysticks it's two okay we'll just leave the person to die this has been a run gotta run boy catch the rest all right thanks for joining us i can only imagine how tight the cavern is on our difficulty it gets its negative space it actually it's a black hole of rocks that sucks light in yeah oh how did player two make it to the next level you must dude he's going sofe are you on that no no that's weird maybe you start in different points player two should have died like well before that player two is doing pretty good they are they're made of way further than you you should just let let jesus take the wheel jesus look at where player two is like [Laughter] bug number two there we go that's why we play on the show that's hilarious that's why it's not on a chip yet the bugs are the best part yeah and they're funny bugs where player two is destroying player one and player two has no joystick you press a button it shoots you press another button yeah it ah no [Laughter] ludicrous what is that what is above ludicrous now plaid plaid speed yeah this is clad uh difficulty rating uh you explode a few over here that makes sense why i keep starting on the same level though oh is that intentional no because i i feel like i should have maybe it's hard and and i think player two is where you should be at oh you might be right right because you're stuck in the same level but player two seems to be progressing that's a very that's a very interesting bug he's got like that's so funny this is pac-man plus thank you for following and you're done yes no [Laughter] okay i'm gonna hold that one okay i need ice in my drink i'm gonna play one player on heart rapid fire on this should work go go go go [Music] see if it's the difficulty rating or if it's the two players i'm guessing [Music] very intense i mean you're able to move fast which is really good very tight and also the camera is moving fast and they're approaching me really fast so it's not really refreed there we go oh dropped a bomb well back to the drawing board well i wouldn't say these are really game breaking bugs but to hunt down yeah unless it's a model number issue oh oh my god they're moving slow oh my god that's actually a challenge yeah cause they're almost at your speed you have to be in between the two wow this this is actually harder than it looks that part of it okay there are two cats here who i think want treats they do they seem very excitable a3 units seem to be the most challenging sometimes do the extra circuits and other changes well then that's a good unit to test things on if it's the most buggy because there's going to be a certain number of people that have that one and you want to make sure the lowest common denominator is is working for everyone than it looks it looks hard it that part was very hard uh level three of this or the third the muffins not level three but uh third round round round um [Music] kitty wants to play he tapped the sticky oven did you want to play we'll play some more games after this yeah look at them they look very expectant come play with that joystick it's not plugged in revenge against the muffins muffins yeah i need to beat those muffins it was hard you just have to put all four so you really have to concentrate on getting each one as you pass them so they don't come back in the next round i think the challenge is the narrow passages when the passageway is you can dodge really easily but when it gets really right into them when it gets really narrow you start back at the beginning though each time of that round no i thought you didn't pass it you didn't pass that round didn't i make it to the next the next round is the things falling from the sky kitties are expectant oh crying cats oh pixel's back oh god that was terrible i turned it upside down not getting treats with an upside down bell partial yeah partial score for that answer half squat no that was totally unfair that was impossible that was impossible he was coming up and he was protected by the edge and i couldn't shoot him and by the time i got to him i guess i maybe could have gone past him if i anticipated it somehow still extremely hard either way service ding ding ding ding my last life i'll play one more all right then we'll be moving on yes it's very reminiscent of person this is kilo parsec it's all underground original parsec was not underground at least and then there was fuel refueling too you have to refuel underground so it's kind of like the refueling part it's kind of mixed together the two parts of the original person oh my god i'm doing terrible normal speed you haven't showed oh that's true this is hard right obviously we don't need to show three lives we'll just die quicker that's the only difference oh that is level two they become solid oh okay damn it it's hard oh click my score perfect today i learned there was a game called parsec me too yeah i i know you know i've seen it in the u's bin i've never played it that's tight i knew somebody with ti-99 i couldn't fit the refueling that's okay it's pretty cool as is so refueling is just a side uh distraction one life shoot oh there's tons of them how many yeah how many do i need to shoot in this level oh no there's more it's not just four seventy two hundred thirty oh close so you playing normal and i think i have um some information from the thread about the bios um pacman pluses i'm not sure how this is going to work out i need to talk to revenge to see what he agrees upon the bias plus game will be open source but as far as burning eproms i could probably take care of that end of it um but in the thread both um dr venkman crossbow and juan solo in the uk has stepped up to offer installation services for the new buyers so there's more than enough people that will be able to install the biases and information from crossbow about changing out the boss which is beyond beyond me i would i wouldn't try it myself uh the biases are usually socketed but later models did have it soldered in uh it requires changing the chip obviously and inverter an inverter ls4x series logic chip that usually soldered dead bug style on top of another one in the system a wire to be ran from that inverter chip to the new bios chip and a jumper that has to be moved or installed on the main board to select for the properly chip size used many steps um and if they're if it involves desoldering that's definitely out of my price range in terms of what i can do dan has played parsec 16 of them on hard so four times as many oh of the muffins you have to kill the muffins but there is actually names for us i'm sure oh they do so he has a bit of a manual for them uh he doesn't but the original oh the original because they're based off let me just read out the names of all the phone characters said the pdf the original game here oh my goodness so the first ones are swoopers second ones are urbites those are saucers tight space um there's asteroid belts there's ltfs uh dramites finites and killer satellites there's eight different types of enemies um and in the original game uh it depends on the screen color how much they work don't change how much they're worth very much for the screen there's only one that changes how much you get for it why would they make a whole chart look at this this space they made a whole chart for showing you what each is worth on each level nice but there's only one that changes it's how much it's worth it's the asteroid belt so hitting all the rest are exactly the same they could have three 200 oh barely some of them do they change they change there's one two three then the rest one two three yeah there's like lower lower this higher very smaller but that makes sense so i will play normal now instead of muffins or pies did you make it past the muffins uh no i don't think it did you probably have to shoot [Music] twelve four there's four and sixteen so i'm guessing eight if he's doubling false advertising 8 kilo parsec it's a multiple it's tight ah those narrow passages you have to anticipate that they're going to shoot you where you own well how can they navigate through it it's hard to make it past the muffins they're so tasty you just need to have one that's weird that you didn't encounter that in your play through right uh on the easy list but not on the medium but then i'm fine and i got it no but i didn't make it that far she made it further than me you made it further than me and i got the narrow passage oh pac-man plus says the point values for the enemies follow the point values for the fruit and pack gotta tie it in somewhere on hard they're not spaced out at all oh now they're getting oh my god they're getting fast and ah no no no no no no no one more how many more there now it's our story time so obviously some of those based on their color are worth a lot more than [Music] others no i have i have i don't know if i did on medium but i didn't get her twice in a row i'm sure um pac-man plus is uh bob is uh uh taking uh taking notes of where we're running into these so oh yeah but it seems it's seemingly random though it is a little random actually yeah it seemed to happen a lot with the easy well we made it further so it had more chance of coming oh my god he's stuck in the passageway i made it really easy to shoot him uh i don't like those because if you don't hit them you're dead you're dead they're so fast unless they have that yeah a lot of distance between the up and down oh bob sorry don't be cute don't be hard on yourself it's probably something with a very simple solution so all my lives but the uh [Music] it is awesome it would have been a killer built-in game at retail like people wanting to buy the system yeah oh very cool yes oh my god what a fun game it's great yeah great good game level one yeah you have to pass through all eight obstacles to get to level two and yeah and then it gets faster we made it to level two but not much further it's challenging it is super fun um yes i am and i can also rewatch the video when you post it that's true so you can see where the where that occurs in the pattern and if it's the exact same pattern each time yeah i know it the way it closed up was exactly the same it was it looked identical every time we encountered it had that one big spike and then again yeah yeah uh oh why is the cam did you knock the camera did i oh it looks very far over oh no it was far over when we started oh what yeah it's been like that the whole stuff names the scrolly that's why what oh never mind never mind that's why it looks like that there we go because usually that's covering the filing cabinet oh right in the printer that's fine so no no you're but you don't have it set up properly like from from when we started if you want to adjust it yeah it's fine it's not zoomed in all that much i know me too so awesome awesome game very fun really really fun yeah yeah very challenging so uh i like i like the tunnel that just just basically kills you it screws you over that's right oh that's funny it's an easter egg you have to figure out the hidden passageway to get past it uh so we're gonna move on to cosmic canyon thank you so much bob and revenge um uh for letting us play this game and debuting it on the show shoot your ladies to see where it passes through the rocks yes that's right it's a kill screen you found it that's right well it definitely was a kill screen well we made it to the end then so this next game is by uh uh kyrie yojimbo rick pryor it's cosmic canyon it was posted on may 22nd when we were off off okay yep just after we're off um he uh made the galactipus line of games oh nice nice um and also shattered earth you know that black and white game where you're moving in between the mazes and you have to pick up the people okay yep um very cool look to that and i think he's continued on that look in this game as well uh so let's go over to the 2600. ready uh so kiara yojimbo wrote a little while ago at the idea of making a joy of painting style video where i would make a simple game in atari basic it's called cosmic canyon oh they're not loaded it says 18th so i'll go into that one yeah not voting now oh no that's terrible good night good night bob good night bob thanks for sent out from what point and the game from the beginning please cosmic canyon by rick pryor carry you care kiru yojimbo uh you weren't listening to me at all nope i i know i'm like i i know you mentioned that already so carry here you you jimbo wrote did you say that yep so just say it from there that's fine a little while ago i had the idea to make a joy of painting style video where i would make a simple basic a simple game and be basic is that right yep atari basically batari basic okay and explain what i was doing as i went along i've sort of cooled on making the video for now but i may come back to it at some point but i went ahead and made the game it's just a simple little cave flappy bird style game press the button your ship goes up release the button your ship goes down don't crash into stuff i like games like that they're very easy to start playing high score in the thread is 36 by mcallister fun game like the black and white color scheme and the way the asteroid belts move that movement is so smooth and relaxing once i pass a few asteroids i can really get into the zone the controls take a little getting used to but once you get used to them the game presents a nice one-button challenge somebody that's a quote from somebody yes and then say who it is it doesn't say oh your games are highly enjoyable thanks for posting this one oh sorry it's at the bottom here words game by alberto at jab uh no that's the next game no there's no name there though okay weird unless that's mcallister themselves uh yes is it yes okay well you you didn't make that very clear i don't know it's for me so those are your notes uh words game no that's not what we're talking about okay okay we're ready thank you for the delay it's hot our brains are fried very true okay so this is oh i turned it off load it on up cosmic cannon yes cosmic canyon okay what oh i hit the bottom good lord yeah donate the top or the bottom uh this is a 2k game uh it was put out on may 22nd uh other games by uh rick pryor are a very galactus christmas canyon death voyage pharaoh quest atari box world galactic miss galactus shattered earth sky destroyer and t-rex it's a very very simple game it's it's not easy so you have to be 36 i'm not i i have to beat two right now there are three yeah oh my god it's very sensitive hit the tail end of your ship oh my god it's really hard this one is diabolically difficult carl g says yes it is oh my god this is worse than flappy bird because of the movement of of of the obstacles the obstacle moves and you move rapidly this is terrible and it is a like a digital movement too on earth i hit down oh my god they need they need a border at the bottom so you know when you're getting close oh that is true it is a very tall sprite like that whole asteroid belt and i hit the top it needs it needs a border like a line yeah it needs a border you're pushing is 2k to the limit oh my god yeah 2k i i get it i get it a line isn't much it would be like it's not much he might be able to include a line a line would be oh but he's already declared that he's done with it so fair enough too late fair enough unless we really complain about the top and bottom because you really can't see where the top and bottom is unless you reference um like the counter on the bottom or where the asteroids hit at the top and bottom six brutal i'm gonna reach five points in the muffin chili welcome thai frisbee [Music] oh my goodness oh my zero oh it's way harder than it seems oh yeah yeah it is much harder than it seems you have to kind of get used to the movement and the way you fall through i should have died there ah this this margarita is hitting you no it's so salty oh my god i don't know what they put in it so we went to get mexican food today from a place that just opened up it's kind of like a local chain um but the moment i walked in i know we were i knew we were in trouble because if there was a sign up saying we're learning please be patient with us and i'm like oh god because they they haven't been open very long and uh they screwed up james's order um and i don't know what's up with this margarita but it tastes like salt more than anything else it's supposed to be strawberry and i swear i swear to god he put like paprika in it there is no strawberry in this margarita and it's really salty like i don't know what's going on anyway you put the that's my rant for today no does that look like strawberry it looks like it looks like spices you know one like the bloody mary where you put it on the rim yes he put that instead of i think he did there's no strawberry oh yeah there you go sugar and salt yes that's a possibility too it's really salty i mean salt is good on a hot day you need your electrolytes but still and he's like do you want a jalapeno in it and i'm like sure and then afterwards i'm like why why why did i say yes dammit yeah jalapeno when you drink they were at least honest yeah and it so it doesn't i mean in a way it's like okay well it won't stop me from coming back because we've been to this chain before and they're usually very good so yeah they've got a whole bunch of new staff then you know i i can be a little bit uh empathetic to that but how was the food the food actually tasted good like my tacos were okay although i asked for cheese they didn't put cheese on it so they screwed up the order but the actual like food was good eleven oh i have a i have a new one it's very simple game oh my god what i'm trying to do now is kind of time up going up see line you need a line i've hit the top or the bottom of a couple of occasions now that i've explained it i can't do it brutal okay 11. i am retiring on 11. i'm not gonna beat mcallister on his 36 not today anyway oh good one when it's near the top line it's right at the top because you can't hit the top but you have to go through it or at the bottom it is great uh artwork for the uh for the game though it's really really nice oh see i hate the bottom hitting the bottom is just such a low blow do it odyssey style and tape a border to your screen that's right get some tape mask it off they actually do that on film sets they literally just put an overlay on the monitor so they know what it looks like in widescreen because they film it open matte unless you've got an anamorphic lens and then then it would be squished that's another tactic is to bob up and down oh it's hard all of it's hard you have to bob at the right level oh you push a little too there's a hard of gravity there is too much gravity really oh come on okay what's your last one my last one that's entirely unfair it'll make you try harder don't say that you're making me nervous five no one more needs a turbo button that that would work it would be like speed it up because it would maintain speed depending on how fast your turbo button is do i have a db9 turbo button i do oh no i can do better than five this is terrible i do have a turbo button is it exciting you're you're distracting me while i'm trying to do this what are you what are you talking about turbo buttons don't listen to me then i try not to it's hard some days the sega genesis arcade power stick has a turbo button and it is a db9 joystick 10. you're distracting me what what's the trailer lighting for it's to maintain your height height was that an intentional fun no yes i don't know oh oh said the turbo button ah but the problem is you can't turn you can't easily turn it off oh right you'd have to go you have to turn it off and on you can stay at one level yep [Laughter] it's hard because the thing moves anyway i mean it kind of works it's the middle button it's the middle button and you can turn it on no that turns it on and off i don't what just i don't understand what it does what is it doing okay oh i see but you have to turn it off to move yeah you have to turn it on to maintain it doesn't quite work the way you think it'll work because the button moves you too you should also be on the opposite side when trying to clear the gate if the gate is moving down start from the top and move down with it yes so yeah it's the turbo button does not help you think it would but it doesn't um agree but captain classic you are correct you want to move down with it or you want to move down with that and then when it's moving up you want to move up with it because that maximizes your space right move up with that and up with that one there yeah no you're absolutely right on that one you can be your own turbo button i think he always does that oh no you can't beat me so we're gonna move now on you go that's a fun game though we're going to use the 78 i can see how playing that for a little bit longer will get you more accustomed to the movement of those walls but it is hard it is hard next game is words game and this is going to be an audience participation look it up audience participation game okay words nice i like this i like audience participation so uh it's already started yep so you pick the letters okay in the order to spell a word so ah that's not is that h h-e-d-i-a media yeah the h would be lower there we go the toco 8 bits got it captain classic got it uh forward why is it so easy when i'm not playing i don't know because you were i saw you playing it in here i was being destroyed before you you were having a lot of trouble that's a lot of letters something with a y lot lee lee [Music] probably somebody says yes you got it oh yeah nice potoko got it ah no olympias good guess okay i'm having trouble just getting it to me by alberto and it was put out on may 30th to five seconds three two you got two points oh lord oh no you get points for the letter n letters as well oh my god oh w yeah oh my god that's a long word knowledge nice one charles reese ah stop it it's not moving this is by alberto says hi this is my first post on the forum sorry for my bad english i'm italian i made my first atari 2600 game and it's a word game it's very simple you must find the correct word using all the shuffled letters on the screen before the timer expires uh select the word edge i was like who comes next uh selecting the letter moving forward uh and left to right then press fire if the word is correct the score increases if it's wrong you'll be reset to the initial position world if you fire an empty letter the word resets to its initial position uh every level has five words five six seven eight nine to proceed to the next level you must reach a minimal score oh nice that's h no m m knowing morning morning nice good one rendered ghost it's like normal no it's it's kind of a bit off because everybody's stream is at a different speed yeah it's true so i'm just saying the first one it appears on our screen yeah rendered ghost says i helped yeah property oh sometimes you look at it and just like there it is yeah sometimes it's like what oh crossbow got it this time first according to the speed of everything yeah the relativistic speed of streaming uh third played this earlier and i could get a scene yeah james was playing it early and he was really struggling but sometimes uh i think i mean depends on the word i don't even know if you have time to spell it out even if we get it well that's the thing and i was i was hitting left and right and it wasn't moving a manager no no needs a tea anyone anywhere megateener agreement oh my goodness mega teen or vitoko thank you does that use all the letters if it does then meg uh tina no there's no m yeah that's that's it oh that is an s agreement see the h and the m yeah that's it and the double you confuse me a little bit when you look at it i think i mean it's a consistent font but it's hard yeah so is that game over if you missed one yep starts over no it goes to level three no it's cheat it might be sheet try it ah stop it oh my god no these i think it has to scramble them i think it does it's like take the first letter don't put it in the first position take the second letter don't put in the second position but there's a possibility that it actually the only possibility would be the last letter would be in the last position because none of the others randomly chose it ah that's an h uh no m m s minions no mission mission oh charles reese got it i am getting some of these without the the input but yeah i think we're all kind of getting at the same time yeah the chat complaint at the same time when they get longer prominence i don't know uh-huh the programmer needs to surprise us with a wordless well you can uh so there's an sh look at the code i'm sure it's very uh it's not encrypted or anything recor mess never heard that it's probably a word it might not be the solution to this one so far all the words have been like normal words consumer see yeah it's an m good one i keep thinking it's an sh and and that's screwing me up but it's an m i think that's true that's the thing that's um the whole game i know that's what's except for the box very very cool okay one more one more yep oh my god it's still it just keeps you still it lets you ready going there's no end to this no but it usually starts over it's weird there's something about the levels that's off uh two l's oh my goodness i find this so hard when you get to this level political oh yes nice rendered ghost is killing it caterpillar nice good one yes nice one [Music] wow how can this be so hard what is it rita out ah two seconds come on oh no okay it started over c-e-h oh you know what it is you just get points you go through the whole levels and you get points so you don't get points and it adds it up uh so you don't die in this game uh wow speech you can cheat oh come on how can you cheat it oh one yeah you can go online and type in the letters yeah but you shouldn't do that no [Music] m mexipel mexipel meppa no example nice crossbow gets it sounds like a mexican sounds like a medicine name have you taken your mexical mexical mexical side effects may include drowsiness death oh my god that's a lot of vowels inability to spell yeah uh undergrad uh what no it doesn't have tea graduate red no there's a there's no h grad you hat graduate graduate damn it the joystick is wearing it out it seems graduate no no it's not because he'll graduate that was so close i i feel like i should get points for that daughter oh my god who knew graduate was one off from daughter well ght is such a weird oh it is i see h i think s h t h c h not uh g h oh man there's eight levels yeah so but we're still going yeah so i guess you can fail and keep going yeah you can just get not point not get points um so this game includes 140 words of five letters 140 words of six letters 126 of 7 78 of 8 and 41 of 9 letters reattach no there's two it does not know there are that's pretty and you need two t's reattach oh something nine create creature creature no there's two r's there's no u oh no oh that's a good guess um four three two one character character the problem with these games i mean there's a lot of words yeah there's like it's like almost 500 words in this vocabulary so even if you play a full game you probably won't recognize all the words playing yep okay chair the five ones oh they're easy oh come on except for entering it but you can you can hear me click it and it not moving which it always pisses me off um re-enter no um ten ten ten year nine entry no i'm sure they're neither it's no h entree i need to replace the joystick's fine you know i just get it yeah sometimes entire entire 25 seconds is a good amount of time because it it's not too long and not too short it feels short [Music] [Laughter] there's gonna be two oh no vowels together yes sure it's really good at scrambling though it is i wonder if he worked like really hard on the scramble you know what if you scramble it and it vaguely looks like a word word it throws you off it says so much because your brain is so focused on that word oh my god no yes the crowd is helping us oh that's something chad is helping us on the long words for quite a bit i am i am you're talking so it's hard for me to spell when you're chatting in my ear so i have to look back at the chat crossbow got that one yeah good job so is it an m and an h uh wow an m that's an m yeah and an h so th possibly possibly somewhere oh my god together or an snh oh my god a thing hoes something oh patoku got it too i got it no i got it i got it before you got it so i started spelling it out i knew i i saw it too uh we all got at the same time we all got it game over oh you know what oh you have to have a minimal score to keep going oh i see so we made it to seven so to make it to level eight you oh that's a good way of doing it because you keep four level five okay yeah you keep playing level five to make it to level six you would have to have 122. gotcha that's a good way of doing that's a great way because it keeps you pushing right yep yeah and then you start over yeah nice great job by jab excellent excellent gameplay that is fun for this style of gaming oh it's fun it's a great implementation yeah if you could put beeps as it gets five four three two one to add intensity or just have the jeopardy theme going duh oh that would be too distracting oh my god yeah it's good though it's very good yeah great job it's nice and simple okay so now we're going back to i agree dan abc it's great for parties because you can have a bunch of people screaming out their suggestions the first person to get it you know gets whatever it's a patent or you have that you have the joystick on the coffee table and when someone wants to guess they run over and try and put their guests and they can get the point yeah you know i like it uh so let's move on to our fourth game of the night which is dragon defense this is by tyler frisbee this is made in 2015. and he actually responded when i posted that uh we're gonna play the game tonight i don't know if he's in the chat um snake hey game load it on up go for it 2015 or the 2021 uh 2015. okay uh then we'll do the new one the new one um so i printed out the instructions which are still in the printer actually oh he is hi frisky hello [Music] i made the original in high school don't judge me too hard yes uh in uh dragon defense you assume the role of a wizard defending a castle against an array of dragons each time a dragon hits the wall or blasts it with fire the part of the wall crumbles if the dragon makes it past the wall or you lose all of your three lives the game is over you gain one point for every dragon you slay check out the image at the left you can't see it in order to determine what each object of the game is um so there's four spells there's a magic shield magic missile health regeneration and fortification magic shield is just the button so you can block shots magic missile is to the right because everything is coming at you to the right so that one's easy to remember health is to the left so while pressing the fire button yeah so you press the press right press the fire button left and then fortification is down while pressing the button okay so to build your wall back up great uh great title screen um mana points mana points are necessary for any wizard to cast spells you'll have to collect mana potions in order to build up enough points they're on the screen little dots however this is more easily said than done as usual only one potion appears on the battlefield at a time they're positioned completely random you can collect up to eight mana points for potions at a time so you can't just keep um building them up eight you need all eight for fortification you need four for health oh one for magic missile and you can do shield anytime you want okay so you'll you'll get you'll understand more when okay let me just see that again so shield right is shoot i'm gonna play for you play first i'd like to see you play it because it seems like it might be a little bit calm so there's the mana okay they're shooting oh block that nice they're dragons yeah they remind me a little bit of ostriches ah dallas perished i love it very terrible [Music] oh no i have to get off oh yeah just have to press the button oh i have to get them out yeah oh [ __ ] he takes stuff so he can shoot so he just has to get past your oh my god there you go nope wait what how do you rebuild no you can't you need eight of them to rebuild though oh my god that's a lot you have to block that dragon you have to shoot every dragon now or else they'll get passed no how do i fortify it's uh down left for health down for forty five so right now you have no fortifications i know so you can't let any dragon go past do i have enough how do i know if i've ate uh it's a bar so you kind of have to just gauge it yeah oh you got him i know apparently if you run into it that works too yeah it gives you a lose of health i think you can do it javascopes are just ostrich they do look like my best back in 2015 was five points what did you 16 that's really good so if you could i like it yeah it's got a picture of them too in in 2015. oh yeah we weren't broadcasting in 2015 so i couldn't berate him for uh not making the button on the joystick restart do you want me to read the spell effects did you say that uh i don't know each spell has a unique effect casting magic shield will protect you from fire and stop it from damaging the castle magic missile only spends a man a point upon collision with an enemy oh so you have to hit the enemy to extend it um we'll launch a lethal blast of magic against the dragon health regeneration will restore any lives you may have lost in battle hi cat butt uh and fortification will repair any damage caused to the castle wall uh dragon defense released on february 14th ah valentine's day 2015 was programmed and designed by tyler frisbie and his first atari at 2600 home group in addition to being a hobbyist programmer tyler typically specializes in graphic and web design and has written articles which have appeared in publications such as 2600 magazine the hacker quarterly nice you have a subscription to that i do lifetime he's a lifetime subscription uh dragon defense is a pretty straightforward game but there are some ways you can improve your strategy when possible try to aim for the dragon's head or preferably its body and avoid aiming for the neck as you are likely to miss interesting uh while the health regeneration and fortification are helpful try not to focus too hard on collecting a multitudinous amount of mana potions or else you may become distracted and allow the dragon to quickly wreck the wall you are so gallantly attempting to defend also i may have left a very adventurous hint easter egg somewhere in the game you did good for you oh you're doing good oh my goodness those guys they are relentless let me know if you can find it good luck and thank you for playing dragon i never find easter eggs i never find them what i shot him and it didn't kill him did it hit his neck oh maybe oh my god this is a game of balance almost game over run into him oh you got it mean to do that that's good though you needed it uh ty frisbee says i think the button starts with the new one okay good yeah it's cause after this we'll be playing the brand new world debut of his new version of this game nice so this is this is version um 44. it's good very good you get the hang of it after a little bit ah very adventurous easter egg maybe the dragons turn it into adventure dragons oh that would be very cool the cycles are really messed up inaccurate collision detection mentioned in the manual is a feature aim for the head not the neck i see okay play 44 not playing the new version oh don't you want to try and do better in this one yeah oh my god that didn't take one point you're running into the bullets i know i thought i had the magic missile going though or not the missile the uh shield actually i never i didn't really use the shield in my right into it yeah i didn't use the shield much actually oh right through his neck he has an armor-plated neck apparently oh that was bad much better than the other time one thanks arena foot thanks vote of confidence record that in the permanent record please tania got one point one point she did not fail completely she got a whole point sometimes you shoot the neck and it's fine start collecting collecting fast rebuild that wall rebuild the wall no no please don't say that i think you can rebuild it no no run into is a good strategy build it it is not down there we go when when he's almost there it is because the game is over if he passes what i thought missile to this front oh no it's not it's up it's just it's just holding it just holding that's not helping me at all 12. one more one more it's a very good game because there's a lot of balance it's like what are you gonna use your mana for can you get more than one row of walls or is it just it just rebuilds it completely i think [Music] get some more lives get some more lives i'm gonna die it's okay oh back down to one took a bullet and you ran into the dragon in subsequent order oh now you're back now you're getting the hang of it yep well the egg is so old you forgot it he can't remember where the egg is if i remember correctly easter egg is if you get full mana go the top right of the screen and cast a spell i think the rebuild wall spell but i can't remember wow that's uh oh you've got all the mana back i'm gonna try for the easter egg oh nice it's fun it is fun i feel a little flaily like hit this this you know like a um if you get the hang of it and you're like okay you'll slow down this and slow down yeah yeah it's good really good yeah so now we have the exclusive world debut yes of his new 2021 version excellent of dragon defense uh when i s when i posted uh that we were gonna play this he went oh man i made dragon defense back in high school i started working on a thousand percent better updated version at the start of the year it's not totally finished yet otherwise i try convincing you to play that instead very cool though i'll try to tune in which is nice but we have the updated version nice um demo yeah nice i like a little bit of an upgrade to the colors and everything on the opening screen [Music] skull um says it's cool you'll be playing my game that said i hope you've already checked it out and don't have high expectations that's the old one it's very good it is very good it plays very well i've since gone through college and i've been working for two years as a graphic designer which must be shocking because the label art i did was terrible oh i've changed the new one because he's done an updated label there you go okay go for it oh my goodness so same same uh thing except there's more enemies you have to kill those guys the body what as well okay so i'll keep going my goodness um looks beautiful yeah it's like a welsh dragon i don't know what that is oh i like that um uh that's what led me to revisit this project i had some free time at the beginning of the year so i wanted to update the label with my improved graphic design skills then i thought i could easily update the title screen while i was at it then i thought if i could get a good dab environment on my mac you can't touch the trees the tree killed me the trees are deadly yeah good to know good to know yeah you can restart with firebot yay beautiful this is the clouds in the sky the welsh dragon which is red which is the welsh color not welsh but i have the flag in the other room i have i have welsh uh family members so there you go you can claim yeah there's some claim not really by marriage but that's okay oh the trees are very bad oh there you go get that nice oh i hit the tree again trees are not trees oh my goodness trees are ants they evil no ostriches nice nice i like that uh your defender does have like the lovely wizards hat going on there yes much improved graphics um uh this all snowballed into porting the game to dpc plus to have more detail and then at that point it decided i might as well try to work on the actual game too oh my god i still don't have any formal coding knowledge but i experimented a lot with atari basic since 2015 and i'm at least better in addition to the new graphics animation there's three new enemies gnomes skeletons and ants trees they are ins they are ants and occasionally that occasionally fly an attack oh you bad bad trees remember to use your spells to get your lives back you need them or not no i don't oh [Music] oh no they drop items killing the groud enemies you have to kill that guy to get upgrades the guy with a hat or those guys no don't touch them apparently you can't kill them but the ants are supposed to be the good guys yeah not in this dude a heart to refill health a wand to rebuild the wall and a crystal ball to restore health ammo and the wall i think i removed the mechanic of casting spells because it was confusing and awkward with the joystick controls okay so there's just this and fire then right so there you go rebuild that one ah touch the trees or something no no i didn't touch the trees i just didn't get it nice that dragon is really pounding the top there any more bullets oh no so the dragon when he dies oh lord turns into three bullets i guess yeah oh that you can't kill them you can sometimes i think it's like a detection issue there are some known bugs quirks and weirdness i eventually want to work out some glitches in the skeletons yeah and collisions uh some things with game difficulty and sound effects too but in its current form it's playable still better than the original even with bugs i do plan on finishing it i did most of this new game over a month and a half of work and it's getting close unfortunately my design career has been super busy and my personal life has been in turmoil so i haven't been able to focus on it sorry to hear about that some of the code stuff has made me a little stumped as i'm not an expert but i'll figure it out uh i would be interested to see what you or others think if you do show any of the new stuff too feel free to hit me up with any questions it looks beautiful uh obviously there's some collision issues especially with the skeletons because i was shooting right through them um but the dragon seems to be fine and the gnome or whatever that was at the bottom too he seems to be fine too but no they take your wall down or they were at some point yeah they take a wall down a little bit they collide oh it only goes down like in it goes down she's okay yeah so it's not where the dragon shoots it's just it always goes down from the top no and you can't shoot twice very easily yeah i find um but i have to say i love um the sky the sky um yeah the moving clouds moving clouds the color grid uh gradation i guess yeah see yeah you oh get that oh cause the dragon made it past yeah you have to watch that you gotta hit the skeletons like right in the skull for to register yeah um yeah i was having trouble it was going through them don't hit the ants so even on death the dragon still damages the wall yeah like how do you prevent that he constantly hits the wall he always hits the wall yeah you have to kill him so you have to get this guy you have to get that guy and build your wallet like always there's no way to not i guess you could hit the dragon immediately the dragon does the most damage but that guy gets you yeah because the dragon hits it shoots it and then turns into bullets that also when you shoot it yeah yeah you have to hit them in the head i think oh it seems to be the thing you have to hit them at a certain level yep i got him when i was at that yeah they get turned into wands too so it's a really good idea to get them i like it there's a lot going on there is i haven't had trees attacking yet maybe i haven't been doing as well does the sky change color oh my god seem like the sky change color ghost dragon next skeleton head tree prey oh i got a crystal which restored my health and the wall um keeps going down low doing good it's pretty well balanced so far i wonder if i just stayed down here and constantly shot the guy down here if you could if i could no because look how much damage the the dragons do i don't think you could really oh i don't know you're gonna try yep all right because that guy comes pretty often same with the skulls oh no i have to collect um i have to go collect things too yeah so i collect things while i'm waiting for the guy and shoot the guy yeah but you haven't gotten a wall defense he's gonna go right through true but we'll see oh there you go maybe maybe because then it needs to be rebalanced so i just couldn't ignore the dragon that's destroying my my city and just use magic you didn't get him no if you did though and dragon was going for the uh going for the hole james always finds a way to cheese games with lizards [Laughter] that's right wizards are powerful don't underestimate them another one time to rebuild the wall with magic yep and my health yeah i think you need to cut down the number of dudes coming across the bottom of the screen i don't have to touch the dragon almost ever so you get enough um upgrades to build the wall yeah james found the easter egg stay at the bottom and shoot them boom full health avoid that nasty drink because then it also gives you time to build up all the all the magic too well you're not fighting the uh the dragon gives you tons of time yeah i think you've figured out that i think you're right i think the guy at the bottom has to come less frequently oh and then don't run into things generally looks like it looks like you could possibly play forever maybe that way yeah um sometimes it got a little low and i had to kill a dragon once or twice but very very nice uh it needs a bit of rebalance i think rebalancing but i think just in that guy just cut him down to about half yeah half because you still need you have to build up the wall yeah it constantly goes down yeah unless you're on that dragon immediately yeah great graphics lots of fun gameplay um maybe make it more like rampart tetris pick up blocks and repairs hole in the walls instead that's kind of cool but that's really a reimagining of this game though i think it would take yeah that would take a lot more reprogramming of what's going on yeah um because there's uh that kind of puts it into oink territory as well in oink territory yes outlink is a game where you build a wall oh i see you're a pair you build it back up and there's a wolf blasting through your wall and you have to put the wand restoring everything is too powerful yeah maybe maybe that's it maybe only half comes back or certain yeah certainly if it was half then you would still you you really couldn't keep going without killing the dragon that's an eat probably an easier an easier way to balance it yeah because you just keep cutting it down the number of them yeah until it's it's feels right yeah yeah yeah oink oink am i good man uh yeah i wanted to look more into the item drop rates different too yeah so that could be super rare yeah yeah so it could be more health and less of rebuilding the wall um that's the other option too is you keep everything the same but you get more health build more health back rather than building the wall i had lots of health yeah but if you're dodging the dragons you would have less so more health less less building the wall might actually work yeah that could be super rare yeah yeah that makes sense yeah so it was very cool and i love the background and the colors and the and the what do you call that the sunset the skyline all the gorgeous looks beautiful yeah and even the first one played really well i was thinking that too arena foot it does look like a muddy funster type game he likes yeah the colors background and things in the sky it's really nice yeah really really nice um great games today so much fun yeah uh we played kiloparsec yes which was very challenging on hard still challenging on easy um but you could make it fairly far yeah yeah it was easier for sure yeah really great game for 8k on a 7 800 that's for sure um well thank you for uh sending it over and and joining and and joining us during the game play too it's always cool to see the person who developed the game make sure you follow us we broadcast twice a week yes yeah if you want to see more homebrew 2600 games and 7 800 that's what we play um and we played cosmic what is that i can't read it goes mccavern was it oh my goodness it's covering it up uh called the canyon cosmo canyon yes there we go thank you thank you for following um cosmic canyon which was uh challenging yes but it was a simple game it's a 2k game yes people try and pack as much into a 2k game really good for a 2k game great graphics hard gameplay that's for sure flappy bird yeah you can you can get a feel for it though you get better as you go so yeah for sure uh words game did anybody see my cartridge cover that i made for it are you gonna flip it back yes look at this look at that look at that great fridge magnet words game thing there i spent a lot of time on that i do i actually think that's pretty awesome each individual letter that's a very seventies it's a very 70s fridge with a very 70s toy for kids yes it's what would you call that color avocado it's got an avocado it had a name i can't remember what it was really harvest yellow yes harvest yeah harvest yellow i think colored porcelain and colored appliances need to come back i think i think everything new old is new again uh we need powder pink um shiny metal black that's all except shiny metal or black we need dusty rose um porcelain in bathrooms as well as that horrible like greeny um avocado no not avocado um michelin webb sketch where they're supposed to react terribly to avocado minty color um oh i don't know it's not called minto seafoam seafoam green um and that was usually and in kitchen this is for graduation seafoam but my i distinctly remember my granddad uh who lived in london had like this sea foam green porcelain in the bathroom it was like a greeny greeny like tealy kind of color anyway i digress seafoam yes seafoam green and then we played the two dragon defenses which were so awesome awesome i like resource management games where they're at a simple level yeah you love resource management i love resource management games like what's what's the one you constantly go back i used to play this game oh the one you play on your laptop once in a while not too much anymore oh oh civilization civilization it's a resource management it is but also there's simcity do you remember the soup game on p on the ps4 which actually like you can't even play anymore and it was a free or something it was a free download with the the ps um we can't play it because we cancelled our pieces we canceled yeah whatever that that subscription was we're on switch but it was a soup game where you mine resources and plants and then you make soup and you send it off into space and i loved it i played it to the bitter end i don't know why they're talking about the dreamcast avocado colored furniture yeah our deck are you talking about the color of this [Laughter] well it does turn into kind of a harvest yellow after cabbage console for the jetsons yeah i loved your dreamcast it's so cool the square console oh yeah i love it um i have no idea why you're talking about dreamcast um yeah dragon defense super awesome both versions are really good i like the spell casting directions and it's just the dragon yes and i love like the new one too multiple they're both good enemies the game plays a little different but they're similar but different yeah yeah that dreamcast needs a d g dc digital installed into it i i plan on doing that um yeah you saw inside where there's actually a laser people replace the laser inside with a card reader so that you can play all the games it's kind of like a harmony card but you build it into it so you can because but lasers because these were different coolers because these were discs discs suck i don't like disc based systems i like cartridge basis i do like cartridge-based systems i agree oh oh there we go oh oh yeah um this is the arduboy ardu boy fx um and if we didn't show you um if you didn't see it last week we got this in the mail finally after like what seemed like two years um and we've played it quite a bit now and it is super super cool it's got simple games it's like 128 by 48 pixels um it's got a tiny little speaker in it it's got lots of fun games uh no we didn't assemble it it came like this you can get them you can assemble them oh really yeah yeah i don't have time for that um the only complaint i have is the directional buttons it's not a d-pad it's individual direction buttons which kind of messes you up in some games but if you put your thumb in the middle it kind of acts as a d-pad um so what do you think of it i love it i think she's been playing it both of me yeah um there's lots of little puzzle games on there and it's just black and white screen she's been wasting the resources that this the power that this hasn't been playing 2048 i love 2048 it's such a nice calming game oh tink x5 yes i'm waiting for them to come out again yeah it is hard on the eyes i could i take my glasses off it can be yeah put it up really closely it depends on the game too anything yeah you don't wanna that's why 2048 is great because you don't want anything to open source gameplay player it's pretty much that's what it is and you and you have infinite free games look how thin that is look at that yeah it is like it's credit card size you literally could just shove it you shove it in your wallet and pull it out when you're on you know taking the ferry or on the bus i would want it so i would want a case for it though this one is aluminum backing that's that's what in case it's it's solid it's kind of sound like i'd be scared i'd want some other you wouldn't want to get scratched up yeah scratch screen yeah yeah anyway it's awesome if you're interested in single handheld how much was it too much it wasn't super cheap because this is the assembled one it has the 200 games built into it um it's got the aluminum back on it it's just the cool version so yeah yeah you don't uh you don't have to get this one fairy they still have fairies in daily use yes they do if you happen to be in new york you would be you potentially are taking the ferry um darcy takes the ferry because he lives on an island and he takes a ferry over to vancouver all the time so we have an island next to our province yeah that's a massive island yeah it's huge it's called vancouver island yeah and very unique you can see it on a world map yeah it's that big yeah it's not japan size but it's it's a big it's a big island for not being a country so people take that ferry back and forth a lot yeah seattle as well yeah there are fairies to seattle and the islands around seattle um lots of fairies here yeah anywhere that has an island or or larger like and yeah the victoria's is the capital of bc and that's on on vancouver island so yeah we do have a lot of fairies we do oh what is what what's going on like where's the where's the subscribers why did that disappear all of a sudden that's weird it was on earlier i don't know why does it do this oh crossbow well every lake in my stake is man-made so we only have rivers [Laughter] yeah no some places still use fairies a fair amount and our fairies all are all shuttled uh cars too so they're pretty big why does it do this it did this it was doing this last episode too oh yeah it was like i'm just gonna get there's something wrong with those apps that you have embedded that they just go crazy that's weird just play with it a bit and it's back i don't know i hate it last time it was the chat that was there's always something something is misbehaving so uh that's it for us today but um somebody needs to fix the brakes uh we will be back on a siren's friday yeah or earlier on second but i we have some things go coming up darcy's actually going to be back on friday yes that's his regular friday night yeah last one was non-regular but i wanted him back for the show back yeah so this friday is the noon next friday is going to be six then noon then six and then flush it's flipping back and forth yeah uh there are sirens outside too yeah oh wow so i have pac-man eaton run cued up and katamari as well we may do an after dark instead i don't know it depends what games pop up yeah really if there's a new game that i want to play uh maybe we'll just do a normal show okay or if there's nothing that really pops up we'll do some long plays yeah code 182. i don't know we probably have different codes in case no darcy in house uh oh in house yeah he's finally coming back and forth now so and uh you still have your band-aid on i do yeah look at this second shot i have felt like crap all day thank you very much yep shot number two you haven't been so bad no totally i i didn't want to get off the couch yeah you know yeah you normally see it yeah so that's why we can have darcy back yeah everybody's getting their shots yes things are opening up we've been to the theater twice gone to see movies twice twice movies twice so awesome yeah it's not being locked down forever than ever and ever yeah and eventually someone will let us across the border and we'll be able to go down to some of these shows whenever they come back so go down to concerts and portland retro gaming expo and other expos yeah maybe maybe maybe in texas or something somewhere else east coast others in the west coast i mean portland's the big one portly it's the one we really want to go to that one's kind of balanced it has arcade games it has talks it has like the world series of tetris there's world series of tetris it has sales it has everything yes there's booths you can buy stuff it has contests you can participate in it's got it's got everything the other ones seem to be like this one's about pinball this one's about arcade games only yeah we have no vendors or we just have vendors but like five arcade games so it's like no prg is the one luckily it's within six hours driving distance of us so lucky uh we saw um nomad land nomad land which was the award winner for best director yeah maybe christine christine zao i think was my name christine it's a slow burn so if you don't if you don't like slow paced films you probably don't like it and you're all about superheroes run away uh it's it's a little it's you know sad kind of bittersweet in places but it's a beautiful film it's a slice of life kind of film and um i love francis mcdormand and anything she's in she's amazing so if you don't like her you won't like this film because it's all her um but all about essentially people who become nomads in their retirement is kind of how i would describe it excellent in terms of borders we can now fly soon very soon without being quarantined yes because if you have both facts we still have to get tests but we don't have to get quarantined but the border is not open for driving yet so that's when it really opens up i would assume not till september to be honest when when we fully open when we fully open yeah because we're on stage two and there's four stages the next stage is soon july 1st july 1st we hit our next stage and i think the final stage is in september but that's provincial i think for canada i think september is when things will really come back to you order's going to be a big federal a big a it's not going to be a provincial thing so we'll see albertans i'll just come over here and go through no no albertans they've been making everyone sick so i missed no i i joke though they're they're fine now they had a they had a rough badge for a while i missed the event i used to host we used to have uh 20 to 30 arcade cabinets along with vendors and ex exhibitors about 50 50 mix yeah it's a nice to have a nice balance of stuff so we're looking forward to everything going back to normal and it's slowly slowly slowly coming back to normal yeah francis mcdormand is she's a brilliant actress really who's she married to famous director i want to look i can't remember i can't remember my head a very famous director uh we'll be playing uh zookeeper and dog gone it on the sixth as part of the harmony games the last round of the harmony games imdb for the win yes you can look it up pretty fast beyond that don't have anything scheduled um but i'll probably start filling in those after dark episodes so i know what kind of what you might be what planning so i can kind of just bump them as i need to and fill them in but we might do an after dark this week things are slow random after dark unscheduled yeah yeah uh but that is it for us fourth of july show special we'll see we'll see why would we do fourth of july oh oh we can just focus on all the american homebrew uh developers things yeah we're not american we do it on july

I'm not even gonna go for this dude some of the some of the ankhs are in a place where it's just if you go for them yeah you can get like four or five bunks but it's just a guaranteed death you're stuck yeah what is that okay what okay nothing nothing this map freaking stinks sometimes man you guys are close this is this is kind of terrifying actually yeah I mean there's three of us so it should be close dude I'm I almost left it's pretty difficult to put in the words how disgusted I am how depressed I am what happened to the parkour thing too I I I'm I just might bring my controller at this point if my if Michael's is on the floor oh someone's collecting a bunch who is that uh I'm doing a little bit but I think Frank's the one collecting right now nah nah is it Turks I don't know

you I just found like six and I fell off them no way oh my god there are I forgot how many were over here I'm off the map again I'm you know what Zurich I'm gonna break my controller with you in solidarity would you guys like me to get a checkpoint so you guys can go somewhere else I might pick up a few odds on the way hey guys okay go ahead go ahead checkpoint five Open Season Open Season secret nope I went over I went over stop it stop it no bye guys left might have 120 more onks than I have or than we have I mean sorry it's fine come back soon um guys I'm almost at 500. okay I'm trying have you guys weared in these hallways yet what hallways man I didn't know there were hallways what are you talking about these doors down here all these hallways are empty yeah I might have went already might have went a little bit crazy I'm about to just forfeit no wait what what just happened to me I just bounced oh someone's already been here because there would definitely be honks 55 seconds of sanity left I left I'm almost I'm almost at the point where I need to be admitted baby okay maybe we should restart once again but now you can use boost guys this isn't even competitive this is numbers just keep going up search is just hitting the ball now guys guys I feel like we need to restart I think I have a headache wait with like unlimited boost or just like unlimited boost we just run around and collect I think I'm manic at this point foreign what's going on dude I'm still not at 500 yeah I mean you guys could bring it back why is this room still have so many what have you guys been doing over here I hope you guys never made it to this platform guys oh my God I found a room with onks me too I jumped over the platform oh all I know is that I'm on top of the the scoreboard so that's all you have more points than left yeah how do you have score hey hey hit the ball we've been nice we sounded so disappointed when we said that because he's touched the ball I mean I don't know about you but my mental state right now is in the absolute gutter so I don't I can't I just hit another dead end I don't know how this map work I just flipped myself off whatever trying to get scoreboard points by touching the ball um uh guys unless unlimited boost then you have no boost and we have oh my god dude we have good we have good I think it'll be very competitive I'm stuck I'm stuck please help me oh you better relieve my mom all right uh we're gonna do uh 1v3 but I take a sedative and then I also uh use only my feet enough Edibles to kill a horse how many shots of horse tranquilizer how many dosage of lethal horses and still win every time I beat my friends I take one more shot of just I'm gonna be honest with you my mental state cannot handle any more of that I I I'm going to get somebody I have any two dude all right all right come back and then we'll come back at it with a fresh fresh attitude all right all right rank twos to refresh let's go how many bronze or silver level players with eight for them to score on you once I really don't think if I wanted to they could no no you'd get bumped like just by like random chance like five minutes definitely but like at some point you would just get bumped like randomly and you would run out of boost or something I still think 30 minutes would be fine yeah like probably but I feel like like there's no way you don't have like a single lapse in Focus like my teammate just did all right so so say you it was you versus like a bunch of kindergartners right but every kindergartner you beat like you got a hundred thousand dollars and we're talking about like these are like virtual kindergartners they're not real so there's no like moral stipulations or anything right but if they beat you you die in real life so so how many of you taking on oh okay but like what does it mean by beat though holy dude that's it's so morbid they're virtual bro they're virtual kindergartners like they're not real but if they kill you you die are they at once yeah yeah all once all once 1v1 I could go on for like 100 like 20. yeah like I I would say like 10. probably more those are rookie numbers bro you gotta hit the gym I don't know about you I'm casting that back I'm getting 30. this is to the death man like that yes oh my God are you kidding me left oh dude you have no idea those are virtual kindergartners are going into the ground dude oh my God anyway I don't think you realize like the collective like let's attack take on at least 50. see uh 50 50 is crazy but that's crazy 100 . no I could take 30. I could take 30 100 you guys are crazy you guys like do you understand how much raw testosterone is is searching for my system I tell you when I get in the ring yes those kindergarters bro it's gonna be like something primal's just Awakening me I just don't think you like if if you're putting yourself in the mindset of like this is to the death and the kindergarteners are like feral because they're fighting you to the death like I don't know exactly what you think you're gonna be left you just underestimate my raw testosterone and muscle mass dudes what is going on we're talking about how many kindergartners we could beat in a fight to the death if they searched kindergarteners no no zerk said 50. I said 30. I said 30. okay Frank think about it realistically like no they don't I won the twos game by the way so Danny can put that arm strength yes they can bite you they can do it they can do a lot I'm picking one up and I'm I'm just gonna that's what I'm saying bro that's what I'm saying like if you pick one up if you pick one up and throw one you're taking out at least five or six no no no no so so Frank Frank the idea the idea is to to like knock one out and then pick them up by his legs and just like spin around like you're doing like a hammer throw you know in the Olympics exactly dude but they're all virtual left it's not up and they're all feral okay am I am I free to go can I go like eat so I guess we can't talk about the kindergartner dilemma anymore I mean probably not 50 minimum 50 minimum no I'm saying I'm saying 30 so then I can get like a clean three mil and just retire okay anyway you said we're gonna stop talking about this right yeah yeah yeah Frank why did I not spawn in I don't know dude that's that's so cringe oh wait I forgot there was unlimited boost knock them off knock them off knock them off search you didn't see that all right that room is crazy this is my this is my go-to I didn't even realize that unlimited boot this is crazy I'm like being sad I'm being so sloppy I'm just like grabbing whatever I find yeah this is good this is good all right the quick 25 right here nice get those Frank this one doesn't even matter moving on oh he's just still winning yeah why is he winning oh this area is nice oh boy there is nice too oh wait I'm stuck help what what is this just switch teams dude I know but I was in a good spot oh I'm in a decent spot right now too did you increase our output here guys hell I'm trying bro I'm just hitting every single guys he's got 200 already oh guys this was supposed to be an automatic win for us well I don't know where leth is and she actually knows how to get to the different levels so okay you've chased me in like five different videos on this map dude on the floor instead of lava and it kind of threw me off entirely okay all right it's the same layout the mental thing mental thing you know yeah mental refresh in the last room right now forming so hypothetically well I don't know what you guys have taken this is kind of scary actually all of them you should probably just give up dude this room is Barren holy Frank I'm in this room I think we're all in this room yeah why are we all in this room are we on this room oh hi zerks laughs we're the most coordinated team of all time this is perfect wait oh look at these look at these zerks look at these yeah give me give me I'm trying my best here this is I'm slowing down here good all right let's go team Franklin zerk's Coco that's a team name that hurt my brain is there a Frank note this is your friend okay I can't uh end the name with my name is there Frank no I like that okay I see a good decent amount over there of course he does no you don't no you don't you're blind we have unlimited boost how are we losing how does he have I don't know he knows the spots bro he knows the strats no I don't I don't know the spots I don't know the strats I know you're talking about you clearly do I just see I I see big ankh I see big ankh I go for big Ong that's all I'm doing man oh I found I found Ox I found Ox are you in my room why are you

boys Yep this is a good output if this was a work performance review I'd be telling you guys good job I just you linked one of the ox room that's got to be so demoralizing for him he's got to be so disappointed right now he's probably not gonna say because he's too focused but like he's disappointed yeah definitely so you guys should definitely win this right I went outside of a wall you did what now I went through a wall outside of the map oh God someone went through there already let's go boys he doesn't know he doesn't know how I'm outside I can see all the ons from outside the map okay all right I guess we're playing like that now are we playing with yeah it makes us feel any better I see one it's actually kind of sweaty because we don't know like we're gonna get down to like the little bits that are just left off like wherever we went we're equal we're a little equal okay you guys are winning now a little secret divot here what is going on there's an arc on a student's butt I don't think I don't think I can catch up guys nope can't yep let's go we got our momentum and then this is the end oh nice I got a little five bomb here at the beginning of the end oh I got I

O_kwqYViYjo | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_kwqYViYjo | Are These Regional Pokémon Forms Any GOOD?! | all righty guys what's going on linky here and in today's video we are going to be switching it up a little bit it is the first sunday of may happy may everybody i wanted to do a little tier list we're going to be ranking all of the regional forms in pokemon today something different something fun if you want to see me do more of these tier lists in the future be sure to leave a like on this video and let me know down in the comments section with that being said let's jump right into things [Music] i feel like i've done this a couple times just decided i want to post a video today but not wasn't necessarily super sure of what it should be so we're going to do a little tier list i wanted to think of something a little bit you know not something you would see every single day i'm going to title this in a way that'll get you guys to click on it because i'll be honest when i see tearless i don't click on them but we're going to do a tier list today we're going to take a look at regional variants these are only uh forms of already existing pokemon so if a regional variant evolves into a brand new pokemon for example that pokemon is not on this list because well it's not a regional variant it's it's it's just a new evolution so these are alolan pokemon two hussein pokemon with galarian forms as well and we're going to be going through all of them here s to d because there really are no f tier designs here there was an f tier i decided to change that first off rattata and raticate these are both you know they're fine rattata is is very basic there's nothing really interesting about him i think raticate is better uh but they're lower tier pokemon my opinion of them reflects the same way my opinion of rattata as a pokemon already is so that's kind of where they land it's nothing special with them raichu i love alolan raichu little pancake looking dude he's an s t or pokemon i use a lowland raichu every single time i play through sun and moon or ultrasonic ultra moon they are awesome i love the evolution it is a better design than raichu in my opinion the baseline cantonian form so alolan raichu goes in s tier similarly to rattata and raticate sand true and sand slash are more favorable pokemon for me i love their base designs and i love their variants just as much they are both i would say it's it pretty much reflects rattata and radicate sand true is a b-tier design sand slash is an a-tier i love the ice spikes that go along sand slash's back i love the typing that it gets when it changes into this form sand true is like a little igloo looking guy it's adorable i love it these guys i don't love as much i would say alolan vulpix uh is a is a b-tier pokemon i i think it's cute i think it doesn't change a ton of vulpix's original design it's almost like a color palette swap in a way nine tails nine tails has never done it for me and it remains the same with its alolan form which goes into c tier diglett base form is really boring and uninteresting i i understand the the the metal and lava plume you know lore of its hair but it just doesn't do enough with the base form for me to really rank it super high alolan doug trio on the other hand it's the same thing and it's a superficial thing but i love the extent and the the way they go with the hair on doug trio's heads i love that they give each doug trio a different hair uh style i think that's really neat and it's just a better done version of this where it's just a little tuft on top but they actually give them long flowing mains so for that reason i love a lowland dugtrio it is also on my list these three the meowths and the the the lowland mouth and the gallerian mouth this one again is a d gallerian mouth is a b i love galerian mouth i love how different it becomes i love that it evolves into a brand new pokemon in berserker i think that's awesome i'm really glad they did a bunch of different mouth forms because it's pokemon you wouldn't necessarily expect persian is another one of those pokemon that gets plopped right into the sea tier a lot of the dark type regional variants i'm not the biggest fans of they're just very bland and uninteresting to be quite frank growlith and arcanine these are both amazing designs growlithe is a b-tier arcanine is awesome it is an a-tier not only is the design of hissuyan arcanine amazing and the fact that we finally got a regional variant that i think lives up to the hype but the lore and all of the the background information that we get for glorion or hussein arcanine in pokemon legends arceus is wonderful they incorporated into the story in a really wholesome way i absolutely love what they did here geodude graveler and golem these are all pretty easy this is a d this is a c this is a d they're not great they're just uninteresting the magnet piece and the it's interesting enough and it makes an interesting extrapolation of what the original pokemon were but it just doesn't grab me all too much ponida is another case of growlithe and arcanine where ponita is fine ash is awesome i love the changes they made to rapid ash i love that they did something so drastic with it essentially turned it into a unicorn with the horn and everything that's a different color than what it usually is i like the type change as well to a fairy i think it's awesome i think design's really cool i love where they place it in the gala region i love that it essentially has its own little forest and town that reflects the same color palette and style as these pokemon i think it's really cool slowpoke you know it's interesting enough slowbro it pops into c i would honestly honestly i would probably pop it into b i think it's a really simple design but i think slowpoke and slowbro were always pretty simple designs so to take something simple and make it interesting enough while not changing too much i think is is a feat that not everyone can accomplish so for that i give it a lot of credit it's just a pleasant looking pokemon farfetch'd it's a big leak there's nothing there's nothing particularly special about it i like that they changed the colors a little bit the beak is a little bit longer it's an it's a neat enough pokemon i like that they incorporated some lore from galler into it and i'm glad we finally got some new representation for this pokemon so i guess i would put it in c for that reason grimer and muk it's the dark type again the dark type it's not interesting it's muck is pretty cool i love the different the psychedelic look that muck has but grimer again it falls into the same territory as ratata as meowth as slowpoke in that it's not changed enough but the changes aren't interesting or clever enough to where it really does much for me voltorb and electrode a lot of people prefer voltorb to electrode and it's interesting because i think they're pretty much the same they're c-tier basuan forms there was a i think what we ended up getting with electrode reflects poorly on voltorb i think this could have looked a lot better and it would have bumped up this design a lot more but for whatever reason they chose to go simple on both it is what it is of course the classic alolan exeggutor is an a doesn't even need to be said anymore it's so derpy it's a dragon come on marowak is another awesome design that also goes into a tier the incorporation into the island culture of alola is also awesome and the fact that it is so heavily involved in one of the trials is another big benefit to marowak also the ghost type being a bit of a reference to marowak in generation one is also really neat overall just a really good execution wheezing solid b tier pokemon not the biggest wheezing guy it reflects on my opinion on this variant i love the smoke stacks i love that they incorporated wheezing into the architecture of the uh of the town in pokemon legends arceus into jubilee village that was really neat as well i loved to see that mr mime is kind of terrifying but for that reason i kind of love it it's so weird and mr mime they've really embraced just how strange of a pokemon mr mime is and i'm really glad they continued with it we get some evolutions here some final starter forms typhlosion is awesome it is the pokemon i went with in legends arceus i love that it got a ghost type i love that they changed the flame colors and they it it just it's wispy it's ghost like they just they didn't need to do anything radical because like with a lot of these forms typhlosion wasn't the most complicated design but they did enough slow king you know it's fine it's b it doesn't really do much for me i don't really i have not much to say about this pokemon as a whole quillfish this is a neat design i love this redesigned quillfish i think it looks so much better than the original if they hadn't screwed up the evolution oh so tragic sneezel again a tier as well i love the way this new sneasel looks it's just it's so it's just the color palette is so well done it's just a really neat looking design it doesn't do too much but it improves upon the base sneezel which is really good corsola look at this this is sick this is awesome this is an a tier design the lore of the rotting coals and the references to real world climate change and all the different things that get incorporated into corsola here is great and i love it when pokemon goes down these dark routes with a lot of these designs these pokemon they don't do much for me [Laughter] if i'm being generous i would go this way zigzagoon i think is just cuter than li noon samurai it's it's a it's a it's a tear i it's grown on me it's grown on me let's go with that i really didn't like it when it first got revealed when we saw the leaks and data mines but since then it's it's it's grown on me a bit samurai is my favorite starter from gen five so i have a soft spot for it in general i love that it's um that it's horn looks like really deformed and it's outgrowing in different ways that you wouldn't expect i think that's really neat liligant nothing special dara maka darmanitan and the other form of darmanitan daramak is adorable it's gonna get a b this thing is weird it's gonna get a c this one same thing you know they're cool they're neat enough i like that they're incorporated into some of the snowier parts of the gallery region we see them kind of hanging around i think that's neat but it doesn't really move me your mask is really cool a lot of the interesting stuff with roon regis how it eventually evolves into the brand new pokemon i think it's handled really well the fact that you catch it and evolve it into completely different areas of the gala region and it makes you explore the wild area a lot more i think it's really good game design i'm really glad they gave these pokemon evolutions because i didn't love them in generation five but i ended up using runa regis and gallerian umass on my team in my playthrough of pokemon shield so i'm really happy with it these two oh i'm gonna invite people this is a c tier zoro was not all that interesting as a regional variant zoroark on the other hand is a really sick one i absolutely love what they did with it i absolutely love as i move away from my microphone that they they just it looks so just rugged and ravaged and it looks like it's scavenging on the outskirts of the hisooi region it's already a harsh environment and it's i just love that they took a pokemon that was so central to generation five but was teased back in generation 4 and gave it new forms in the generation 4 remakes or the the brand new gen 4 game if you will i love that they did that and i think the designs reflect that especially zoroark this guy he's just a derpy little seat here pokemon nothing special about him braviary is awesome that is another a tier design braviari and it's its incorporation into the mount ride pokemon of the region was also great the fact that we learned a lot about its migratory patterns and its psychic typing and the the dress the the headdress that it has that reflects that psychic typing i think it's a really really well done design it's simple enough that it reflects the simplicity of a lot of pokemon designs but it has so much depth to that simplicity i think it's really good these two i've really grown on udra and uh sligoo they're really solid they are neat looking pokemon this is still you know it's fine it's a c tier goodra is an a tier i used one on my team i absolutely love that they made it more of a snail-like design i think that was a neat choice on the part of game freak it's just a great pokemon i had a big one in my playthrough of legends arcus i had an alpha goodra it was the biggest guy on my team it was so fun to play through it was a tank when you were going through some of the later parts of that game the designs are solid and for that reason they are on their list avalog is another a tier notice a lot of the his of the um the hissuyan forms or higher up on this list i think they knocked it out of the park avalon and its incorporation into the story having to face off against a massive avalog near the end of the game is just an incredible choice and it's shocking because it's a pokemon that obviously didn't exist in generation four it was never associated with gen 4 so to see it weaved into the lore of the region's past is really really cool last of all last but not least hissuyan decidueye at the start when they first got leaked probably my least favorite form on this list it's really moved up for me hissuyian decidueye is awesome and it goes into that s tier of regional variants it does not look good in 3d at least in the data mines it looked really derpy but once you saw it in action and once we got its official art it completely grew on me i absolutely love the color palette of red and brown especially with its white under fur its massive claws so much about this pokemon just screams ancient it screams something that wouldn't exist in the modern day but was able to thrive in a harsher world i absolutely love this pokemon and i'm really glad that it exists and when i do play through legends arceus for a second time because i've only done it once so far i am for sure going to be choosing this pokemon so that is my list that is my tier list of regional variants what do you guys think i will leave a link to this tier list page in the description down

MN5qW77DRIc | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN5qW77DRIc | The ONLY Offense You Need To Win In Madden 24 (Full eBook) | today's video we're going to be dropping you a little free mini scheme here out of really I think one of the better formations in Madden one of the more complete formations in the game and it's going to be out of the Jets Playbook now before we get into game we're going to be going through our settings so in the main menu Just Tab over here to settings want to talk a little bit about free form doing something a little bit different um The Playbook we're going to be taking a look at today is going to be the New York Jets defensive playbook and in this game for the most part I think you either want to be in the Kansas City Chiefs defensive playbook or you want to be in the multiple defensive playbook I really like Kansas City I think it gives you the most versatility now from there what we're going to be doing is we are just going to be coming down here and going through our settings the main thing is for coin toss First Choice you want to make sure this is always on Kick coin toss second choice you want this to be on with wind and then passing type I'm actually going to change this to go back to placement and accuracy and I'm going to go near 20 out of 20 kind of mess around with that and see but I was on placement power 5 out of 20 if you're newer or beginner or you just struggle with free form like I did do I really think placement and power five out of 20 helps with overthrows you don't overthrow the ball as much but I'm going to try this out just kind of later later in the year want to try out something different um autof flip defensive play call we're going to be turning this off uh for defense because we can toggle it on if we ever want to uh but stock I'm going to have it off for most blitzes in this game you want to have Auto flip off this year defensive Ball Hawk we're going to have that set to on defensive heat seeker uh assist is going to be on purch IST is going to be off and then uh basically that's the settings now what what I really want to recommend is if you're in regs that's all you got to have to do but if you're in mut you need to go into Ultimate Team here and you need to actually tab over uh to the settings menu so I'll show you how to do that so basically when you go in and then we'll talk about our team breakdown as well in terms of abilities what we're doing for this scheme so once you go in if you ever get this black screen I think hit Circle or B and it will fix that all right so you're going to click game options there at the bottom um it's typically one of your you know internal buttons there and then you're just going to go through here and just make sure that all your settings are the same because as you can see here actually did transfer over but I just know from experience sometimes it doesn't so if you're playing mut you need to make sure that these settings do TR indeed transfer over all right now I want to go over my team real quick and then we'll get into practice mode what's really cool about practice mode and mut is you can go to practice and then it will actually bring it up and you can adjust your lineup right from that screen so really like that feature the zero chill 50 out of 50 theme team is by far the best theme team in the game it's really not even close and for this scheme what we're going to be recommending that you'd utilize from an ability perspective is really the only cards you have to have you can actually do this a little cheaper than I did um I actually ran out of coins when I was building this team so I don't even have the best running back uh you don't need the best running back you don't need the best team in Madden really Madden especially this year in really last several years is an ability based game all right so outside of speed all that really matters is abilities and I think abilities ultimately Trump speed so if you have better cards that get better abilities then you want to prioritize those now offensively this year there's really no NE necessity for any ability outside of uh really set feet lead and you can even get away without having set feet lead but set feet lead is very very effective so I just want to walk through what I'm doing on William Perry here um if you don't want to use William Perry much cheaper option would be Andrew Luck Andrew Luck is very good um you just get Gunslinger for zero AP by having uh William Perry here so the main ability is set feet lead it is the most important ability in the game if you are in r in regs you want to use the teams that have set feet lead okay if you are in mut you want to use the quarterback that gets you set feet lead okay set feet lead is the best ability in the game because it allows you to literally throw through zones and allows you to get the ball out quicker uh or allows you to to have have more velocity on your passes so that the Zone Defenders can't break as quickly on the ball super important ability uh gift wrap just CU I had an extra AP here um and I'll talk about that in just a second and then uh Gunslinger zero AP okay um I'm doing escape artist honestly just messing around with it I don't really care necessarily about this and lowkey I'm kind of thinking of going away from the fridge um but as of right now he is kind of the standard qb1 in the game so that's why I'm I'm rocking with him uh but the main things here other than that are your route chemistry so in in offense this year you don't need route Tech to beat man coverage you don't need short and Elite you don't need that stuff as of right now um so what I like to recommend is slot Apprentice tight in Apprentice um those are going to give you really the best bang for your buck in terms of Route combos so Tony Gonzalez gets tight end Apprentice for one AP and Tyreek Hill gets slot of pren for one AP there's another card I think it's the players the last name name is rice he's on the Chiefs he's a lot cheaper than Tyreek Hill he's I think onee speed less and he gets um slot Apprentice for 1 AP so what I might actually end up doing is selling the fridge and getting myself a running back and then um actually getting slot Apprentice the only other ability that I would really recommend is backfield Apprentice or backfield master um the main abilities you want are slot Apprentice Titan Apprentice back fi Apprentice those are the best Apprentice abilities this year so those that's kind of what I'm doing in terms of abilities and then we're going to get into the audibles and plays in just a second so real quick want to talk about audibles uh for this scheme and we're going to be doing just a little mini scheme here out Jets Jets has so much we're going to be doing a bigger breakdown here later on now if you want to get my full Jets offensive ebook we actually have it available in the patreon it breaks down everything that you can do out of this Playbook super super high level offense so if you want to get access to that and we're going to be updating that scheme this week for our patreon members because I do believe especially as of this point in the year with the new year year it is the best scheme in the game now that we have all the different routes that we can be able to create so um anyways if you want to get my full offensive ebook on this it's in the patreon it's the best place to get better in Madden for 10 bucks you get everything you get all the ebooks everything for just $10 so if you want to get that link is going to be in the description but for this video today we're just going to be going over this Bunch strong offset formation and we're going to be uh just doing a very simple uh format here so what I like to do is we're going to be coming out in the play uh RPO alert actually no we're not we're going to be coming out in the play uh Corner strike uh actually you know what for Simplicity we're just going to set Corner Strikers are audible that's literally it and then we'll come out in flood I'll explain why when we get into the breakdowns um but real simple now what you could also do if you wanted to kind of mess with audibles and stuff like that you could come out and bunch tight end because it's a strong left formation and then you could basically audible a bunch strong offset it would be a Rel relatively quickly uh a quick transition I'll show you what I'm talking about so audibling around this year is really really effective and this is uh kind of a little bit of a a reason why so you see here the formation is strong left so if they have Auto flip on or they might set their coverage to the left side well if I come out and then I audible just one click over to bun strong offset now the entire formation flips basically and it's a very quick transition so you can do this relatively quick and kind of create quick snaps out of the Huddle all right so that's an option but for our purposes we're just going to be breaking down bun strong today just an incredible incredible formation and there's very simple plays that can really make a big difference in your offense so that's what I like to do in terms of audibles for the bunch strong and we're going to get into the play breakdowns now the cool part about Bunch strong offset is that you can run this wide side or short side it have setups for really everything that you want to be able to accomplish for this uh for our purposes today we're going to primarily focus on this scheme as a wideside uh offensive scheme I do think that's going to be the best way to run this because it has it gives you capabilities to run really some of the better plays in the formation so with that in mind let's go ahead and get into the setups the main play that we're going to be coming out in every single time is flood and the reason we're going to be coming out in this play every single time is because it's a oneplay touchdown um it's a oneplay touchdown against cover two short side we'll talk about that at a little a little bit but it's really just kind of gives us the capabilities to Quick snap now what we're going to also do off of this is we're going to our our number one play though is actually going to be Corner strike so um with Corner strike here's the setup that I would recommend to really anyone that's running this play because I think it's the best it's probably the n one of the number one plays in the game this year okay what we're going to do is we're going to Corner route the slot Apprentice so we're going to slot Apprentice Corner route the slot receiver we're going to streak the tight end we're going to motion the running back out and we're going to put him on a streak so as you can see these are the these are the routes on the field that we're going to be utilizing now the cool part about this is most people are not going to play a lot of man coverage this year you're seeing a lot more Zone coverage and this concept right here is the best Zone beater in the game however if they do play Man coverage this sharp cutting um this sharp Cutting Corner route to Dion very effective for being able to get separation against uh against Mana man now if they press if they press us on this play which let me actually sorry I apologize I messed up my messed up my setup here so let's say you're playing dollar or something and they're pressing you out of the man coverage uh if you look here to the right side Tyreek Hill's Corner route if that corner route gets over the top of the press you could free form and high point that up and over the defender and you have gift wrap right so a lot of times you're going to catch those 50/50 balls wasn't able to catch it right there we're going to have better plays for man coverage uh later on so I'm not going to spend too much time on that corner route but just trust me that that corner route I'll throw it one more time for you A lot of times what will happen is see how he gets this step and then you can kind of sneak it over the top of the defender okay typically I don't think I've ever thrown an interception on that specific Corner route against press man uh so just keep that in mind if it's off coverage man it's a little bit easier uh for corner routs to get separation so just keep that in mind and we'll throw it one more time see if we can actually complete it see how they get these random actually got kind of lowkey practice mode is just kind of random honestly with man coverage we'll come we have a better man beater coming up so uh we'll wait on that and uh I really want to stress how good this play is against Zone coverage you really can't it's almost impossible to defend this play in zone coverage because of the options you have um so what you're going to see here is if they do run Zone coverage the short Corner route to Circle if it's cover four cover three is going to be wide open the deeper Corner route is going to pull the outside quarter of the outside third defender on that side and this is what makes this such a good wideside concept because normally you can't really flood wide side out of compression but with this concept you certainly can you'll see here here's cover three watch that short corner just get over the top of that purple and then you just got to basically get that ball you know fit that ball in on the sideline now the other thing that you have going for you here is this is going to funnel them into cover two and I'll talk about cover two in just a second how we can attack it but if we look back side here to the left side you have a streak and a coute combo so this this croute is really good it's better than the double post in my opinion because it's going to run slightly deeper and it's going to do a little bit better job at getting separation against cover four and really cover three so if they're running um you know let's say they're running this cover three and they're going to use that Crow flat Defender to try to you know get a little bit more depth right the C route is deep enough that it gets it gets over the top I got to way to throw that just a little bit later in the route um which we'll show here but very nice little setup here for zone so you can beat really everything that they can do um really everything that they can do on that left-and side now so that I stop calling the play Flood I'm actually going to come out in corner strike and I'm going to turn auto flip on just for the purposes of going through coverage all right so if you look here to the left side uh this is a stock curl flat I think typically this is going to go you'll see here it looks kind of covered but once he cuts to the sideline he'll get over the top and clear with with a lot of ease right now let's say that they call cover two cover two will help defend the C route it'll help create basically what cover two does a good job of is it defends these shorter Corner routes right well the problem with that is you have a deeper Corner route so you have this route to R1 that is going to run you know about a tra more of a traditional depth so you see here it's going to get over the top of uh a standard cover too so they're kind of left in this dilemma of how they're going to defend this and really the best way for them to defend it honestly is to man up circle out of a cover three shell but most people aren't going to do that and if they do if they do that then again you have this backside over here the C route now this C route on the backside is also pretty good against cover two because you'll see here it gets enough depth actually didn't get quite enough depth there so it's probably better against a press cover too so if they're backing off that that CL CL over there on the left then kind of an a key there that you might not want to throw that if they're in a cloud flat but if they're pressed up typically this coute you could throw it up and over the top to the sideline yeah you'll see here see a little lot more separation there and see how I can put that you know kind of on the sideline so really really good play for uh really all kind of Zone coverages that you might face all right so that is that is pretty much the double Corner route concept and it's why the double it's it's why really we want to run this Playbook because this is one of the best plays in the game and you get a c route to the left you get Corner routes to the right there's a lot of value in this play now if you think about what this actually leaves them vulnerable to it is essentially a rolled outside third Defender and this is where the play Flood as a quick snap option becomes very advantageous to us so I'm going to come out in dollar now and we're actually going to put a 30 uh we'll put a 30 I think this can get over the I think this can get over the top of a 30 yard cloud in practice when I know it can in game okay so let's say they do this so if they give you this look right here this is important that it's this look right here because this is the only way they can stop the short Corner route if they back this guy off this is a 30 yard Cloud right so if they back off that 30- yard cloud and we go back to Corner strike I want to show you one thing here real quick the short corner will will get underneath of a 30 yard Cloud as you can see so they can't they can't really run a backed off Cloud flat right they have it has to be a standard uh depth of a cloud flat so once they start to be able to defend uh Corner strike then you can go to this play Flood and this is a quick snap all you have to do is snap the ball and what you're going to see here is because we have this real glitchy fade route and I as I said I I I think this gets over a a little better in in um in actual game so just please keep that in mind but we have this um let's show it to you again here we have this super deep Corner R to the tight and I think it's because he's getting bumped it's always because he's getting bumped let me pinch the dline which is actually what you'd probably see and let me basine all right hopefully he doesn't get bumped this time you see here if he runs his route clean you see how he kind of gets over the top and not really the greatest in practice mode in game you got a lot better chance of him getting over the top now a real simple alternate version of this play that will work for this situation is another quick snap you can quick snap this play you can snap the ball pretty quickly here all right so let's say they're giving you that look but let's say they're Manning up Circle this is a pretty popular adjustment and I even talked about how this is probably the best way to defend it so let's say they're taking this guy here and they're Manning him up this will stop the RPO this will stop some of the other things right well then what we can do here is we can quick snap flood but we're going to put the tight end on a tight in Apprentice Corner as you can see we get the short Corner again and now this short Corner gets underneath of that cloud flat Defender all right so that's kind of another reason why I really like having flood uh uh another really underrated reason that you have this play is because you have this slot receiver that you can put on the slot Apprentice corner and then you can put the tight end on the flat now you might say well what's the what's the reasoning behind that well again if you run this right here you see that that slot receiver can really get a get over the top on that Defender now I have Universal coverage on on Bo Jackson there but one of the things that I think is fairly significant for our purposes here is notice how this fade routee because it's not a streak because it's a fade route that outside third Defender has to run with it you'll see see how he has to run with that then you can throw your corner route underneath so it's a great way to clear out those defensives that a lot of people like to run where they're using outside thirds from their safeties so let me give you just kind of a little bit of a better picture of that this is probably what it would really honestly look like here if they're trying to stop your short Corner route but if you watch here watch that super clear that out that outside there is it's a real tight throw real tight throw but it is able to be completed so I really do like that play um in terms of in terms of attacking zone now I did want to talk a little bit about just your standard cover three coverage because if you do see your standard cover three coverage here and you run this setup you'll notice actually I think I forgot to audible but you'll notice that the corner route on the right against a standard cover three shell let me let me go back to that watch this fade route I just think it's interesting how this fade route see if see how if I freeform this down I can kind of throw it away from the Koo so those are a couple of different my favorite setups from flood please don't sleep on just hot routing the tight into a Titan Apprentice corner I think that is a very good way to run this play and uh again we're just changing the depths of the corner routes and it's what makes this so good and then the other cool part about this is you could also you know then put the slot Apprentice on the corner and then take the tight end and just simply put him on a basic little flat route and now you have a different type of flood concept so you you have Corner routes to all three of your receiving threads and they're all at different depths which are really really cool all right so that is uh going to be it for the play Flood at least right now and then I wanted to get into really some nice man beaters for you guys because I know that man coverage uh can be hard to beat this year so all you're going to do the next two plays are really primarily for man they will be still decent against Zone but they will beat man so the first one is yrail um this one is super effective so all we're going to do is we are just going to drag our slot receiver then we are going to Flat this outside Bunch our outside Bunch receiver and we're going to wheel the running back now the purpose of this is because a lot of our offense runs through the circle receiver so they're going to be Manning him up cross Manning him dropping zones over there all those kind of things well then we can drop this guy to flat and now he's almost like it's almost like they wasted an adjustment right but what you'll see here is you have a lot of opportunity for different routes to come open against main coverage the best route is this running back route so if they're playing just straight man on the right and they're not putting Zone coverage over there to help this play right here will just crucify him I mean the running back wheel is such a good route this year for beating man coverage so you want to be utilizing running back wheel now the other route that you have a couple of routes the rack catch animations are really good this year so you can throw the drag route against man coverage over the middle you can throw the running back route um on the leftand side here this post route when he cuts to the middle he's going to get open against man coverage so you can throw him on the cut I do have middle of the field help I'm going to a cover one style defense and I'm still able to throw this post you'll see here again when he cuts over the middle I can just click on aggressive catch it and it's going to be wide open so that post route is super valuable uh for what we're trying to do uh offensively here so if you want to Smart route that post you certainly can do that as well uh the tight end route it's a little tighter of a throw because I have a three wreck on the field but let's say they're making some adjustments right so let's say you know they're making some adjustments so they know well we're going to take away this the drag by putting this guy on a hard flat we're going to take away the post by putting this guy on a third and then we're going to have this guy over the top for the running back route right kind of standard adjustments this obviously uh means they would have to user somebody too so just kind of keep that in mind but um the beauty of this is this tight end Trail route late over the middle typically does beat man coverage um if he would run his route a little better than he did uh right there you would be able to see that so we'll just get the yellow zone out of the way but you see beats man coverage so you have a lot of man beaters on on this route now uh this kind of comes to a second setup that I think is actually pretty good as well and this setup what we're going to be doing is we are going to streak our tight end this is going to kind of make this a little bit more of a Zone beater uh we're going to streak our tight end and then we're going to wheel our running back now it kind of looks a little funky but this is a lot better against Zone coverage and ideally you run this with your bunch to the wide side of the field now the manto man read that we have here is this really this underneath drag is super good against man coverage underneath so we're able to kind of get back to that you know beating ability to beat man coverage with the circle receiver the other thing that we have uh again is our running back so if they are running man coverage and they don't have safety help to the right side the running back will beat man coverage over the top your post route on the left side will beat man coverage when he cuts to the middle of the field but but I wanted to kind of talk about this a little bit more in terms of Zone specifically like your base press cover four or your base press cover three this is very good setup for that because what you're going to see here is this wheel route will actually pull the outside third outside quarter Defender he does a little better job against outside quarters or outside thirds than he's going to do against outside quarters and I do have deep Zone Knockouts and all of that stuff so keep that in mind but what you'll see here let me see if I can kind of freeform it freeform it down you see and a lot of times on the sideline you actually catch that pass so keep that in mind so you have that route and then the other route that you have that's really really the better route is if they bite down on this drag route underneath you're going to be able to throw this post right here and then you're just going to click on and catch it so when you throw the post it is kind of important and and I would say what you generally want to be doing is probably smart routing this route but when you throw the post you want to click on and you've got to come back to the ball to kind of avoid the K so you see free form down boom just like that really nice little route kind of gets you that middle of the field spacing now on top of that setup what I like to do is another setup that's very similar um it's a little bit more of an old school setup but this will help you block a lot of blitzes we're going to drag our tight in in rout our outside Bunch receiver motion him out and we're going to streak this guy super old school setup but really good because you've got two man beers coming over the underneath middle and then you've got the post route and that's where 20 out of 20 can be a little dangerous because you can free form too far um but you have the post route coming back over the middle so we'll show this again and again this would be I would definitely be blocking my running back if I was running this setup but what you'll see tied in boom boom and then you got that coming underneath so I I really like this play for man coverage if I'm getting a lot of man coverage these couple set set ups here y Trail I think are pretty good uh for attacking main coverage the next play that we're going to be going over is Durham and I think this is probably one of the more versatile plays in the formation and truly definitely one of the better plays so what we're going to do out of this back to our slot printice is we're going to slot a Prentice post the slot receiver drag the tide end put the running back on either a streak or a wheel route now if you're to the wide side of the field I like to put him on a wheel if you're short side I like to put him on a streak you can keep that up to you uh this forces them now over here on the left side to have to respect the fact that we have a fade so if they're just playing you impr press manto man coverage on that left side using this would be a great way to attack that because now they got to put safety help over there A lot of times what they'll do is they'll drop that guy into an outside third okay so if they're dropping that guy into an outside third you'll see here he'll actually play that a lot better but now you have your tight end underneath that's a really nice route against main coverage this year so have you're tied in underneath it's going to be able to do a really good job at beating man coverage they'll probably drop a Zone under there so they you know maybe they drop this guy on the right hand uh on the left hand side here into a flat and then this is where your slot receiver is so valuable you'll see the slot Apprentice as he gets bumped um to all all he just gets absolutely caged he's going to typically get open against press man uh practice mode man coverage is a little different than what you actually experience in game so just kind of keep that in mind this the way the bumping happens in practice mode like you see here he gets AB absolutely caged that that maybe happens once or twice I've very rarely seen that so uh just keep that in mind because you know this this is one of the better routes you have in the game against man coverage I'll show to you one more time let's see if I actually get open that right there is more likely of what you're going to see so yeah there's a lot of prce post against man coverage again if they are putting their um if they're running man coverage on you specifically and they're not putting safety help over here to the right side guess who's going to be open you're uh actually it was a kind of a lowy bad throw but you have your running back um over there on the right hand side as well let me see if I can actually throw it here as I get screamed at out of cover on robber yeah um they're going to have to respect the right side to your running back I'm going get screamed at again oh my gosh this game is something else yeah the running back open um running back's open if you did you know if you did this you could do this setup too if you know it's man coverage um just to kind of isolate that running back a little bit more but again now we're kind of getting back to wide Trail so just keep that in mind what a lot of times they're going to be doing here on the right is essentially this running back actually won't be covered so you might get something like this right and then they're usering the running back they're going to midpoint right but they have to go to the slot because the slot receiver is going to win every single time so a lot of times they'll go like act like they're going to the running back but then they go to the slot and you'll see right here that there's just this massive void over here on the numbers to be able to throw the running back against that coverage so super super effective play against manto man and then I want to show you this against zone so this is also really effective against Zone coverage the first read here is you really want to try to hit this route to Sanders um quick out of the back field if they are not if they are not uh hard flatting a lot of times this can get open so if they're per if they're using curl flats or stuff like that please look out here because this can be wide open for a quick throw all right again that's going to force them to have to man up Circle uh that outside Bunch receiver which is going to do a really good job of opening up other things for us later on uh but normally what happens is they're going to go to him and then the running back will be right open wide open up in that little seam really really nice little play and uh really easy to be able to hit that consistently now the other thing that you have and this is another reason why I really like this specific setup is if they're running 30 yard clouds or they're running the cover two stuff on you he will actually clear that that um deep wheel route will actually clear that and the running back will be pulling the Deep half Defender so you'll be able to hit this for a big hitter against uh against covered cover um uh two now let's say their user runs to the right side of the screen well you have a simple high low here on the left side so you could typically throw this to your slot Apprentice post every single time so they have to use the post and they don't use the post then you got your running back underneath last play I want to cover with you guys in this video is going to be RPO alert screen I think this is one of the better plays in the game and um the reason why is just because it's hard to stop right super simple play typically you're just looking out there if the if the bubble screen's open you're going to throw it if it's not open I want to show you you what happens if we just let the play run if we just let the play run a lot of time it's just going to hand the ball up to the running back okay so you either throw your bubble screen or you hand the ball off to your running back super simple um but I this this is such a tough play to guard it it's a really good route um man coverage does a little better job than Zone but if they're running these soft Zone coverages on you this right here as you see just super good against these soft Zone coverages and it's going to again require them to have to start Manning up that Circle receiver to stop the RPO to stop the short Corner route to stop some of those different route combos right and then that's where you could go to a setup like even at a corner strike where we go to this right here where we go to the double Corner route but now we're doing it with the tight end short Corner as opposed to um you know this guy here so because we know they're cross Bing him right so what we could do we could do out of this is something simple like this and as you see watch this tight end he'll get right underneath the quarter so that's how you can kind of use a tight end Apprentice as well with this uh one of I mean this is just such a good offense and actually you know what I'll do is I'll throw a little red zone money play in here for you as well I think one of the better ways to score inside the Red Zone inside the 5 yard line in general this year is with the combo that I'm about to show you so this one of my favorite Red Zone Concepts this year what we're going to do is we're going to do you could do it out of corner strike or other plays as well I like doing it out of corner strike again they're probably going to be Manning up Circle almost guaranteed they're going to be Manning up Circle so what I like to do is actually put circle on a hitch we're going to put the slot receiver on a slot Apprentice post we're going to Smart route that slot Apprentice post we're going to curl the solo wide receiver and we're going to Smart route him as well and then with the running back you can really do whatever you want with him um but I love this play in the Red Zone first and foremost this uh tight end Little Speed Out is really good against man coverage so if they're just playing you in manover coverage on the Red Zone you can throw that and typically be able to hit that for a touchdown so that's one option uh that's really option A that we want to look to just right out of the bat can we hit that and if we can we're going to throw it now option b and really the more popular especially if they're running that cover two that everybody runs in the red zone is this post and what you'll see here is that curl will hold that cloud and you can throw the post right in the back of the end zone guys I want to thank you for watching the video If you like this video you'll love the patreon it will help you become a better Madden player you can sign up by heading down to

O6HFx-FZnVs | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6HFx-FZnVs | Introduction to Mindfulness Meditation with Mark Nunberg, week three: 3/22/2022 | just doing a sound check for those of you online if you could give me a thumbs up if you can hear me okay how's the sound great thanks for the feedback we'll be getting started i'll be in about four or five minutes welcome back everyone those of you in the room here tonight and those of you online this is week three of our introduction to mindfulness meditation and as i said maybe you remember some of you maybe weren't here the first night but the truly i think fair to say truly astounding thing for us human beings is that all lifelong we have a mind we have this sensitive heart and we've been so busy with this external orientation and all our thoughts and reactions to what we see and hear and think that we've had very little actual interest in the mind itself i mean we might read books about the mind but actually like we can do right now we can realize right now and do this with me if you would we can realize there's a knowing mind right here right there's a sensitive heart and we're not trying to fix or make anything happen but we're just aware of the nature the subjective nature of our mind our heart right here and now and you could say as we do in sort of the buddhist tradition being aware of the present moment being aware the way it is here and now but when we're lost in thought i'm at common ground then we're very in a very real sense we're disconnected from our subjective experiencing that awareness that this is being known or the awareness that this is happening this is being felt so what we're doing in these six weeks is it's you know for some of you you know you've been practicing for a while but for those of you who are new and we're really talking about a shift in allegiance or a different lifestyle really where instead of you know all the time orienting around what we would call external which is still here and now in the present moment of course but our thoughts about things we're really training the mind to value this present moment awareness oh it's like this now so we're in the middle of the course so by this point we want we should all have some competence at the very least we have to have some interest and then out of that interest will come some confidence of how to recognize the present moment oh it's like this now it's like this now this experience is being known so in buddhist terms i know it sounds a little funny to say this we say this is a moment like my subjective experience right now is a moment of mind because the present moment right now for each of us is being known here and here is another way of saying in the mind or in the heart when i think it's out there my experience like i see you i hear the sound of the furnace blowing the blower on the furnace i see the light but all that is being known here in the sensitive heart and the sensitive mind this is a moment of the mind knowing one of my teachers has a wonderful little book it's freely available online but i love the title now is the knowing you know it sounds a little emotic but it's it's it's really true now like the now of the present moment what really characterizes the now the present moment is that it's being known here and now life experience it's always something being known here and now and this is what we miss because we're mostly caught up in our thoughts about things now if this what i said doesn't make sense that's okay but at some point it will start to make sense what i'm pointing to with the words that i've just said and then you'll know that you're getting some competence a new skill which allows you to recognize allows the mind to recognize the present moment which mostly as we live our life goes unrecognized even though if we interviewed people on the street everyone's going to say of course i'm aware of the present moment but that doesn't mean they're aware of the thought that i know the present moment or that i'm aware of the present moment but to recognize now is the knowing the noun-ness that's a relatively rare thing and when we get a sense of its value then we realize how much it's not our habit when we really want it to become the habit of the mind that present moment awareness then only then do we realize that is definitely not my habit and it's definitely not the culture's habit the culture's habit and most of our habits is to be distracted to be lost in thought and to be oblivious to oh this is an experience being known here and now it's like this now so when we go through the meditation tonight we're gonna go through um around nine not that you have to remember this but nine or ten steps of the most comprehensive meditation instructions the buddha gave and it's under this general category of mindfulness of breathing but you'll see though even though we begin with this attentiveness to the physicality of breathing in and breathing out and even though we'll go back to that over and over again to just have that relatively concrete experience of you know breathing in and feeling that rising of the belly or feeling that touching at the nostrils when the air comes in we're really even though we we begin with the sort of exclusive attentiveness to the physicality of breathing in and breathing out it's just a means to become more and more present to the conditions that are being known and we slowly will make a transition we'll still always be aware of the breathing rhythm breathing in breathing out but it would eventually will go into more of the background of the attention and aspects of the mind itself qualities of the mind itself will come more to the foreground so i'll walk us through that but it's it really makes this point that even though we begin and we need to get comfortable with it's like a particular mental muscle we want to develop which is this capacity to bring our attention to something ordinary like breathing in and breathing out and just hang out with that stay aware of that and it in a way you know i think it's even related to our how evolution has trained our attention to kind of always be looking for the next saber-toothed tiger or the next attractive person that or the next dangerous person or the next delicious thing to eat right one of my teachers said once you know all we care about is can i eat it can i mate with it or will it eat me and everything else we tend to ignore but even though that's built in the mind can be trained the heart can be trained to be attentive to something that's ordinary and like when i'm really trained my mind to be with something ordinary like just breathing in from the beginning of the in-breath to the end that means i'm taking my attention off of can i mate with it can i eat it will it eat me it's it's not a small thing to be attentive to something simple and ordinary without a fullness of attention an unwavering presence because it means that that survival instinct that you know hyper vigilant survival instinct looking for threats looking for things we desire that means that we're it's a counter program to that and i'm just going to be with this same like when we go to bed at night if we don't shut off if we don't if we can't connect from that hyper vigilance we'll keep thinking about the threats in our life we'll keep thinking about the things that we're really excited about in our life and we won't get any sleep we have to let all that die and that same sort of death just to be a little provocative has to happen when we meditate for this 20 minutes you know when you set your alarm just realize i should probably record this when you set your alarm for the amount of time you're going to sit you're basically saying to yourself for this period of time i don't have to be aware of all the other things that are coming and going in my field of experience it can be there in the background but i don't have to i can i don't have to be looking i can just be in this profound receptivity and initially to get there we train with something that we would call an exclusive meditation object and i think i mentioned this either week one or two because there's also the open the openness of meditation where whatever is predominant is what the mind is aware of but in a way that's a harder training so generally to train we first take up something specific or exclusive i'm just going to be with the breath i'm just going to be with the sensations of the sitting body i'm just going to be aware of hearing because in a way the first most challenging thing about developing a meditation practice is learning this capacity to put everything else down i don't have to think about that now i don't have to plan that i don't have to problem-solve that i could fantasize about that but i don't need to fantasize about that now all of that and every time that off-ramp appears in my mind to go there wisdom can say you could do that but you don't need to do that why don't you just stick with your meditation object for now and see what good comes from that see if the buddha knew what he was talking about and if something good comes from learning it's not that the meditation object is special what's special is not taking any of the off ramps because that is such a deep habit of our mind to do whatever it wants to do so if we want to fantasize about this or plan that or regurgitate the past or whatever else mine basically runs the show that aspect of the mind that kind of habit-based aspect of the mind gets to call the shots and all of a sudden now we're taking up a training kind but also a persistent training that says honey we're not going to do that now we're doing this now so we're going to connect and sustain attention with the present moment ordinary reality of what does it feel like when the belly rises with the in-breath what does it feel like when the abdomen contracts a little with the out breath or what does it feel like when the air comes in through the nostrils or what does the air feel you know that touching something as ordinary as the air touching the skin around the nostrils or something as ordinary as that movement of the abdominal wall as it rises and falls or however you feel the physicality of breathing in and breathing out because it isn't about the rising and falling of the abdominal wall being special or the touching sensations at the nostrils they're not special they're ordinary that's the point can we train attention to be attentive to something that's ordinary and can we cultivate a fullness and unwavering attention so much so that the heart the mind puts everything else down for a while everything and you know how we know when we've done that we begin to feel the lightness of the mind not caught up with all the other stuff we normally the mind is normally caught up with because it's only knowing this one thing to some degree right and then that feels good and in buddhism we call that seclusion and that's how you know you're getting this first training which is we're using an exclusive meditation object and in often in early buddhism this lineage of buddhism that we teach here at the center we use really earthy things like the breath hearing experience of the body sitting even specific touch points like feeling the sits bone touching the chair or the cushion or feeling your hands touching or feeling your lips touching and just moving to the body these different touch touch points but it's ordinary stuff which is surprisingly hard because the way again through evolution the attention is much more interested in dramatic stuff sudden movement strange sound right that's what gets a scary thought that's what gets the attention so to train the attention to connect to sustain to keep sustaining and to be actually interested and relaxed like not interested in controlling what we're interested in but interested and at the same time hands off just letting the breath be or letting the sensations of the body be or letting sounds be that's a real training so we'll do that for the first part of the set and then the last half or so we'll move beyond that so we'll start opening up the field of awareness from this exclusive attention to the breath we'll move to more open attention to the whole body and then from the whole body to the sense of calm from the sense of calm to the now starting to notice the space of the mind so not so much what the mind is knowing but what is the quality of the mind that's knowing oh it's light it's bright there's actually a little joy there a little lightness oh there's some ease in the mind and heart oh there's some dispassion just letting things be oh look at that the mind's actually a little bit more quiet ah there's a space of the present moment so there are these different aspects of the mind we're still aware of breathing in and breathing out but we're more that's more in the background and in the foreground is basically looking at the mind that is aware of the present moment we're looking at the knowing mind and this is newer territory for most of us any questions about that before we do a little stretch and maybe i'll talk briefly about walking meditation and then we'll do about a half an hour sip but anything come up from what i said either from those of you online you can just raise your digital hand or people in the room here and there will be time for discussion and questions after the guided meditation any questions from the folks online anybody in the room good well maybe i'll talk now i did mention walking meditation last week and the buddha taught that we should train with four postures so this week even though the main practice will be somehow in your busy lives finding 20 minutes better is 30 minutes two minutes five minutes ten minutes is better than no minutes but every day a little time and if that means you have to put a note on your dresser next to your bed or so even if it's the end of the day and you haven't practiced do some practice right then even if it's just for a few minutes but i this next week i encourage you to practice with the three other postures to do some walking to do some standing and to do some lying down practice because you want to see you don't want to equate meditation with just the formal sitting posture whether you're on the floor or sitting on a chair you want to see it's really the work of the mind and the posture is just their advantages and disadvantages for different postures walking in is a good posture when there's a lot of restlessness or sleepiness standing is good when there's a lot of sleepiness lying down is good when there's a lot of physical pain because when there's a lot of physical pain or emotional pain you're not going to fall asleep generally when you're lying down and sitting is generally the best all-around posture because it for most people most of the time it provides enough encouragement for alertness especially like you can't see online but you know i'm not really leaning against the back of the chair the upper part of my buttocks is touching but my upper back isn't touching so it takes some uh effort to stay upright but it really supports alertness but for some of us it's going to be more comfortable than sitting cross leg because we don't have the flexibility in our hips and so i can actually be alert and relaxed in this posture so the question for all of you at home and all of you in the room is is the posture you have now an appropriate posture to be both alert and relaxed so take a little time stretch and then just as if for the first time really be curious what do you need to do to be relatively alert and relatively relaxed how can your posture support you in that a lot of us can have some spiritual pride you know like oh i've got to sit this way jen did you have a question yeah i just have a quick question could you just talk a little bit about um setting an intention before a sit i always forget to and then i think i'm supposed to and then i get confused about uh well my intention is to be aware of the present moment end of story but anyway just curious yeah yeah it's a really important point and maybe we'll come back to it after the set but i'll i'll mention something when we start but let me just say something briefly now and the buddha's understanding intention is what makes everything happen it's the most important thing and because it's subtle the intentions in our mind are subtle they're there but we tend not to notice them and uh so initially it will feel somewhat artificial to consciously set your intention at the beginning of the meditation time but i still recommend that you try to do that so if you finished stretching and moving why don't you come into comfortable upright sitting posture as best as makes sense for you tonight and we'll just reflect together about the intention for our practice once you get settled but take some time and you might even want to take a couple of longer deeper breaths where you fill and then empty the lungs and really take your time you don't have to rush and use that easy deep breathing just as a way to come more fully into the body into the present moment maybe one more of those longer deeper breaths in and out and eventually letting the breath continue on its own not needing it to be any particular way and it's good to connect with this most excuse me trustworthy emotion that we could call something like self-compassion and you might even want to silently repeat to yourself with whatever sincerity is available care about this life and feel free just to put it in your own way i really do care about this life i care enough now to be close to listen well to feel what's here to feel i care enough about my life to not be distant or disconnected and i care enough to learn in the deepest way how to take care of this life so you can see how that self-compassion and just reflecting in a way that is sincere that works for you brings us to the wholesome intention that's so trustworthy i'm really here my intention behind my meditation is to really learn something about how to best take care of this life and related to our deep trustworthy intention is just the sense of humility if i already had a lot of wisdom a lot of understanding how to take care of this life then i'd probably would need to be doing what i'm doing but there's this sense this sincere sense there's more to learn there's aspects of this life this heart and mind that i don't yet understand the causes for stress the causes for release i'm not totally competent so i'm here to listen i'm here to learn [Music] i'm here to realize what i haven't seen before see what i haven't seen before about the mind about the causes for stress and the causes for release so with that wholesome intention established now i'm going to begin cultivating this exclusive attention to the physicality of breathing in and breathing out and i know it won't be easy but i'm just going to do the best i can [Music] starting by just realizing this experience of the body sitting as being known being felt and right here in the experience of the body is the movement of the breath coming in and the sensations of the breath as it goes out and it's not about controlling the breathing process any breath will do so we just trust the body to breathe but we're intending to be intimate with the physicality of breathing in from the beginning of the in-breath to the end and from the beginning of the out breath to the end just tracking the ordinary process of breathing in and breathing out wherever that's easy for you to connect with maybe in the belly as the rise and fall maybe around the nostrils as a touching you can just choose and see if it's possible to be attending to the in-breath and the out breath without needing to control without getting tight so relaxed and alert and you can notice a simple pleasure that comes from the simplicity in the mind being secluded from its ordinary worries and planning and wondering and thinking this and that and instead there's just a simple sensitivity to the in-breath and experiencing the out breath just as it is and letting everything else fall away far into the background and be willing to begin again and again and be really happy just with one in-breath and tracking or that unwavering simple presence keeping it in mind and if you need an additional support you can repeat a simple phrase like breathing in experiencing the breath breathing out allowing the breath to be something simple like that or you could even be as simple as in out sometimes having a meditation word that corresponds to what the mind is knowing can be helpful but if you don't need that meditation word or phrase then just do the practice silently and again always willing to begin again and again this is the training and when you notice distraction especially repeated patterns of distraction then just acknowledge it in a friendly way oh the mind is thinking about this again it feels like this it's just this experience that's being known this tendency of the mind being known [Music] we let the distractions cease on its own and then we start over again we feel the body sitting we notice the next breath in or out we practice bringing this full and relaxed attention [Music] to the ordinary phenomena of breathing in and breathing out and now we can begin to open up the practice um [Music] so the next instruction might be just noticing [Music] the experience of the whole whole body as you're breathing and experiencing the whole body as you breathe out so if you want to use a little meditation phrase or word it could be something like breathing in experiencing the whole body breathing out allowing the body to be so obviously we're still aware of breathing in and breathing out but now the field of awareness is inclusive of the whole body the physicality of the whole body nothing is left out breathing in experiencing the whole body breathing out experiencing the whole body and you can let everything else just be there but in the background and doing our best we keep bringing our attention breathing in experiencing the whole body just as it is breathing out experiencing the whole body just as it is and again when you notice distraction in a friendly way just acknowledge that tendency of the mind to think about this or that whatever it is sense what the underlying feeling is with the distractedness is their underlying charge or whatever and when you're aware of the distraction notice how it ceases on its own just watching notice it goes away and then coming back to the body and the next step would be breathing in combing the body breathing out calming the body so as you're breathing in and feeling the whole body notice pay attention to the sense of calm in the body might initially be just one place in the body that feels really settled or calm [Music] and notice that as you're breathing in as you're breathing out so the phrase you could repeat if that's useful for you is breathing in combing the body breathing out calming the body or just repeating the word calm with each breath and out breath this so we're choosing to be aware of just this one thing again experiencing the calm in the body as we breathe in sensing any calm in the body as we breathe out of course there will be other experiences but keeping the calm in the body in mind through the in-breath through the out-breath just doing the best we can we can't make the body calm but we can notice the calming even if initially it's quite faint or subtle so with to whatever degree the body feels settled and calm [Music] then we keep that in mind as we breathe in [Music] and we keep the calm and the body and mind as we breathe out and the next instruction we take up his breathing and experiencing joy breathing out experiencing joy and it's okay to have some humility it's good to be bringing a fresh sense of what joy can be the simple lightness or simple brightness of the heart and mind like a buoyancy and again it might be quite faint or relatively subtle but simply through the duration of breathing in train the mind to be interested in however subtle it might be right now and then through that time it takes to breathe out just being curious and open to the experience of joy that's here and now just a little lightness of the heart or brightness in the mind keeping joy in mind as you breathe in keeping joy in mind as you breathe out and once again just do the best you can let that be good enough and joy at some point we'll naturally mature into a more resonant ease of the heart the ease of contentedness or this it's almost like an energetic relaxation of the heart but you can just call it happiness but a real this role sense of happiness again it might be quite faint breathing in experiencing this ease of the heart breathing out experiencing this ease of the heart just see if you can keep however faint this sense of ease as you breathe in and as you breathe out keeping ease in mind as we breathe in [Music] doing our best to keep ease and mind as we breathe out this is the ease of well-being ease of being settled and that good feeling of ease makes the mind more and more dispassionate less caught up in thoughts about this and that and that allows the thinking to begin to quiet down more so you can just notice this dispassion [Music] as you breathe in and out in the quieting of the thinking mind [Music] breathing in experiencing the quietness the relative quietness of the mind breathing out experiencing the relativeness of the mind and finally we just noticed the space of the present moment breathing in noticing the space open space of the mind at the moment breathing out noticing the wide open space breathing in appreciating the space the silent open space of the knowing mind here and now and breathing out just trusting [Music] or abiding in the space of the present moment noticing the peace as you breathe in [Music] noticing the peace as you breathe out the beautiful stillness as you breathe in [Music] stillness as you breathe out and in a very gradual way you can [Music] keep holding the body relatively still but allow the eyes to open if they've been closed and just sensing that sense of space and stillness and peace or whatever it is that's here and now and then begin to move your body stretch a little bit start slowly you don't need to make any fast or big moves whatever you need to do to release any tension that might have developed so it really matters what we pay attention to and so the nice thing about the set of instructions that we use tonight is it follows um you know a wise path so first we took care of the mind which is mostly superficial attending to this and that our problems our hopes all of that and we said honey let's just be with something ordinary let's let everything else fall into the background and we're just going to be attentive to something ordinary and remember it could be anything but tonight we used the physicality of breathing in or out because it's a nice thing the nice thing about the breath as one of our primary anchors meditation anchors is it has movement to it so it's more interesting than just touch points sensation right because it's dynamic in that way and there's another aspect to the breath that makes it a particularly good meditation object which is as your body and mind becomes more settled more concentrated what happens to the breath it becomes more subtle and so it's like a beautiful natural feedback system because awareness has to be more attentive more receptive because the breath is getting more subtle as things settle down so it builds and then as the mind gathers it collects the energy to attend to something that's becoming more subtle then it itself right the mind itself is becoming subtle to be aware of something that's subtle so it really reinforces and that's why you know being aware of the whole body then there's a kind of healing where the mind that knows is knowing the body and it's like a good friend if i give my attention to my friend 100 percent or a few some of you maybe your parents and you like really show up for your kid you're just all there even though they're doing something that's not that interesting to you building with blocks or whatever you know what you've done hundreds of times but you're just like really there heart is all in well the child the friend they know they what did they do they go oh i belong i'm being loved and that's what happens to the body when we have that full unwavering kind non-judging presence with the breath and then with the whole body the body begins to feel better it begins to relax it begins to feel some calm and then that awareness that wise awareness notices the calm which is a kind of amplification of that goodness and it causes the calm to spread when there's enough of that bodily calm that healing of the mind knowing the body then the mind the heart starts to feel some joy ah i feel better that's that lightness of heart we call joy can we keep that in mind if we do keep it in mind the joy and mind the heart begins to relax in a more resonant way we call that ease of the heart it's a kind of more um a more grounded happiness as if the heart is releasing tension you didn't realize it was holding ah that was good ease of heart ease of well-being it feels good and when we really notice that how good it feels when we're breathing in and breathing out that ease then the mind becomes more dispassionate it's not neurotically trying to feel good because it already feels good and because it's not neurotically trying to feel good the thinking mind that activity of the mind starts to quiet down the mind gets quieter still electivity still thoughts mental images but there's more dispassion like we don't feel so pushed around by thoughts and feelings and other mental activities it's just like birds chirping you know it's sound it's something something's going on in the thinking mind but it's not a big deal that's the dispassion and that allows for the quieting and the more the thinking mind the activity mind quiets down the more something that's always here but subtle the space the silent open knowing space becomes more obvious and so we notice that we appreciate that and we learn to abide in the peace the silence the stillness of that and was still more to do but that's the basic trajectory of having a so-called good set now the whole point of that isn't that it's so healing it feels so good because it is emotionally healing psychologically even spiritual healing but the real value of that trajectory of going from an ordinary distracted superficial dissipated mind to really gathered present healed and whole part mind is that that mind will see what we're currently not seeing about the nature of things and in particular the nature of how we get involved in states of stress and suffering and how that can all be avoided right because that mind sees clearly precisely because it's so settled precisely because it's not erotically trying to control things it can really see things clearly it's not so neurotically involved in the push and pull it has a sense of space so this gives it a kind of accuracy and precision and breadth that'll really sees oh this is how the mind takes the bait gets attached begins to react but when i see those negative or unhelpful patterns but my mind is partially caught up in it we don't really see clearly i mean we kind of know we get attached we kind of know we react but we if we really see it clearly it's like noticing you're holding a really hot pan you just let go you don't need to like have that's that a strat you don't need a strategy you just need to know you're holding something that's really hot and you don't need to be holding it and you let go and that's what happens when the mind is in this really subtle profoundly subtle peaceful spacious place and then the mind because of the force of habit starts to do something neurotic wisdom just goes don't need to do that it just let's go and it isn't you saying oh mark you should let go here no no letting go just happens because it the unhelpfulness is so obvious to the mind because of the contrast when the mind is spacious and still and clear it just notices what's unskillful and like in living vibrant color oh this isn't helpful and the letting go just comes from that scene so it's always nice as i always say to hear from folks i mentioned the last few weeks to make a mental note of any kind of learning any kind of challenging experiences that came up in walking meditation or sitting meditation any questions that are emerging about your practice or about buddhism that you want to ask because we all learn from people just their willingness to share what you're learning or any questions that you have so here in the room or online you can raise your digital hand if you don't know how to do that you can simply unmute yourself um but yeah who'd like to go first anybody yeah please and if you don't mind standing here and speaking into the mic okay thanks i love the 20 30 minutes that i put aside because it's forcing me to detach from [Music] the distractions and it gets the root of why i want to be distracted because if i don't sit in the emotion or if i don't sit in this calm place or safe place then i can't figure out why i was trying to distract myself in the first place and then i can get to the root of the problem and it's been very helpful and that's what i mean just what you said that's what i mean about seeing what we haven't seen because it's not quite accurate to say that we let go of these neurotic patterns what we do is we see it that's that breadth that present moment awareness mindful awareness brings it's not just the depth like seeing into the subtlety of what's here now it's also the tracking that continuity where we see like how it is that the mind's entangled in this way oh there was this painful emotion i guess somebody didn't want to feel it it generated some thoughts the thoughts led to more thoughts the feeling you know and then there was some sort of and we see the whole thing the mind sees it for what it is it's nature it's not really that personal i'm not even doing it it's just like cause and effect playing itself out but it's not even that we have to cognitively tell ourselves what it is we don't we just have to see it clearly and then it can be dropped and that's a really nice example because it's like a testimonial when people share how they saw something they had that breadth and depth and the natural result was the disentanglement or the letting go or what was heavy is no longer so heavy and that's a little taste of the freedom that the buddhist teachings and practices lead to or just you know mindful awareness is a liberating practice in a sense it's guaranteed but no one can do it for us we gotta do it for self we gotta like you said you gotta put that time in because initially it's not gonna happen in daily life there's just too many triggers but if we do put the time into the formal meditation then we'll start to learn how to keep it going it will be feeble a lot of the day but we're going to learn how to keep it going more and more of the day and the whole point is to do it all day long not just the 20 minutes or the 15 minutes or the 30 minutes that we set aside okay natalie you wanted to go next be nice to hear from you okay mark i wonder if you could comment on a posture thing that i've learned from yoga and and it's with the hands and one of the things that i learned in yoga is that when we start and we have you know a stillness and a relaxing is that many of the teachers will say if you're anxious if you're nervous you're too busy or distracted keep your hands down ground your hands into the floor or your mat and if you're needing energy you're feeling kind of depressed you want to be light have your hands up to be filled from you know wherever what do you think of that yeah thanks natalie well i mean life and buddhism and the practice is really pragmatic and whether you draw from some of these ancient traditions like yoga or you just draw from trial and error like what helps like just in terms of posture what helps to settle the mind what posture is useful now you can we can get neurotic about that can't we you know because we're trying to fit some image or we've read something in a book so it's it's really great when information comes check it out if it seems to be helpful use it but don't get ultimately you don't the external doesn't matter nearly as much as the internal like jen asked earlier if you might remember jen asked about intention and in this work subtle is more significant than gross so like what we do with our hands matters but it's relatively gross intention the intention and the quality of the motivation is relatively subtle and it's much more important but it's subtle so it's a little harder to work with so like sometimes when we put our hands on the mat you know it may be less about the hands on the mat but what the teacher said that it connects us with the earth and that reminds us to be grounded and it reconnects us with a more subtle intention like don't get so caught up in thoughts about stuff just be in the here and now right so that it may be more about that intention about being grounded or rooted in the present moment than actually having the hands connecting with the floor or the earth because that's you know and and i know this sounds a little trippy to say it this way but we are living in the mind our reality is the mind there may be you know an external reality but all i know is what my mind is knowing here and now i only know my mind you only know your mind so what's happening in the mind is really relevant the way the mind is understanding the mind or the way the mind is understanding the experience that's being known in the mind that matters the way the mind is relating relationship it's all relational how is the mind relating with what intention is my intention you know like when we're in an irritable mood my intention is sort of like destroy boom boom you know just wanting to or when we're like stars in our eyes or seen through rose tinted len you know everything's beautiful it's like these things matter the kind of quality that the mind is relating through so can we notice that well it's subtle it's like learning to notice intention that's subtle but that's where we're going with the practice yeah thanks natalie for sharing that thank you there folks we have some more time but yeah please you want do you mind standing up so that everyone can hear you yeah if you don't mind allow the people online to hear you um i feel like i'm really close to something or i felt like i kind of comes and goes and it's right there and then i hear what you're saying about dropping the hot pot but [Music] my experience when i think back um when i've tried to have when i've tried to be in the moment i start to feel like uh i'm going insane or something and um i've been diagnosed with schizophrenia and now it and so it's really hard for me to to to trust to open to a moment to open the joy it's it's hard to know what it's hard to know what is and isn't safe and um and it hurts to not be able to let go because it's so close i can i can feel it at moments like i'm right like i'm talking or looking at god or something incredible and then and then all of a sudden my mind just starts ticking and saying oh you can't don't let go of this or everything's gonna you're gonna you're gonna end up back in the hospital and i spent a lot of time in the hospital and i feel like there are people who who don't want me to have it seems like they don't want they don't want me to get out of the labyrinth but i really i mean i i i would i really would like to so just kind of trying to know what to trust and how to go forward yeah i appreciate your comments and uh you know i'm not a mental health expert and but i can talk about the mind and then you have to do your own sort of bringing it into the to the issues that you're working with but what i said earlier about the different postures you know all of our minds are different and whether we talk about it in terms of biochemistry or we just talk about it in terms of the tendencies of our different minds but they're not all the same just the conditioning the tendencies the biochemistry and we have to work with the mind that we have right and and we'll learn just like you're learning you have to learn like like with this practice we don't need to force anything and and generally the best learning happens when there's enough safety and so this style that we get from early buddhism you know it doesn't use when you look at the human history of spiritual technology and sundance like in the indigenous uh people here in the united states a really intense pro process or sweats or drumming or chanting or you know there's so many powerful spiritual practices the use of plant medicines hallucinogens things like that but what the buddha came to over the course of his years of teaching after his own awakening is to use something really gentle and i i think of the soft power of present moment awareness it's a really soft power and some of you might remember if you've ever read the dari chang this collection of teachings that's sort of the foundation of taoism in china it's an ancient spiritual system if you don't know about it it's beautiful and uh one of the things that says in that collection of teachings is how water is the most powerful thing like the fact that water carved the grand canyon i don't know if anybody's seen the grand canyon but it's pretty amazing that something as pliable as water can cut a groove a mile deep into the earth through solid rock that's impressive and so to have that sort of sense like i don't need to hurry i don't need to rush because greed that's a spiritual greed greed isn't the cause for opening safety and wholesome intentions like just wanting to be real just wanting to be grounded so one thing that might make sense is instead of the stillness of sitting you might practice doing more walking and using a more kind of whole body approach to cultivating mindfulness like rotating through seeing hearing and feeling the body so if you're just you know walking along the river for example or whatever it might be even just doing loops around the block for your meditation time but just rotate so you're walking for 30 seconds to a minute and you're just cultivating an awareness of seeing you're not looking around but you're just aware that seeing is being known and that could be even what you said okay seeing is being known seeing as being known and then after 30 seconds 10 minutes switch to hearing and just open to that sense gate hearing is being known and this is good this is a great practice for anybody of course and then the third would be to go to the physicality of walking you know sensations are being felt physicality of walking's being known something like that and then back to seeing back to hearing back to walking and just because whatever it is like you mentioned like heaven is just a fraction of an inch away or something like that whatever spiritual gold mystical experience is available where is it it's here and now if it's really a value it's here now it's always been here and now it will always be here and now you see so greed is never going to help because it's already here and now what helps is that trusting like of that awareness it's here we don't have to force we have to relax and open and let that that opening that connecting is is sort of built in what gets in the way is any kind of neurotic fear neurotic doing erotic greed neurotic doubting anything that keeps us from being open now i'm not saying it's easy i mean if it were easy there would be a lot of wise kind enlightened beings floating around i don't see them because the web of neurotic greed hatred and delusion is how we describe it in buddhism you know those tendencies to be greedy to feel like if only then i'd be happy that's a pretty chronic habit in our conditioning and the fee the habit of fear the habit of reactivity so just like using walking sitting lying down standing but we're really learning how to be real in a relaxed open clear way not forcing it could happen the self doesn't go away what changes is how we understand like that part of my mind that you know locates a sense of me here and a sense of you there that that's just the thinking mind i mean it's an aspect of the thinking mind but what happens is there's a deepening of understanding that's not confused by what language does to experience because we're not orienting around that that level of cognition or thought it's just used as a tool thought's a really useful tool we don't need to get rid of thoughts but thoughts can be very confusing so when you feel the need to define or describe the truth the mystical truth the underlying truth it's always a dead end the buddha said no matter how you describe it no matter how you conceptualize it the truth will always be other than that because it isn't conceptual it doesn't need to be told to ourselves or anybody else and when you look at the teachings of the buddha not so much the later buddhist traditions but especially you know things that are related to this human being he wasn't so interested in talking about mystical truth or the underlying truth he was just interested in creating a practice which is basically opening using present moment awareness to connect and not worried about what that leads to because that's just a thought about that's we're making stuff up right so it's really much more earthy than that but we are almost out of time next week is week four i'll be here next week but then shelly graff will do the last two weeks week five week six remember and i know it's not easy we're all busy have lots going on but as much as possible give yourself these six weeks don't worry if you have to miss because someone in your family's sick or you have a business thing

librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org can you forgive her by anthony trollope chapter 15 paramount crescent lady macleod lived at number three paramount crescent in cheltenham where she occupied a very handsome first floor drawing room with a bedroom behind it looking over a stable yard and a small room which would have been the dressing room and the late sir archibald been alive but which was at present called the dining room and in it lady macleod did dine whenever her larger room was to be used for any purposes of evening company the vicinity of the stable yard was not regarded by the tenant as among the attractions of the house but it had the effect of lowering the rent and lady macleod was a woman who regarded such matters her income though small would have sufficed to enable her to live removed from such discomforts but she was one of those women who regard it as a duty to leave something behind them even though it be left to those who do not at all want it and lady macleod was a woman who willfully neglected no duty so she pinched herself and inhaled the effluvia of the stables and squabbled with the cabinet in order that she might bequeath a thousand pounds or two to some lady midlothian who cared perhaps little for her and would hardly thank her memory for the money had alice consented to live with her she would have merged that duty of leaving money behind her in that other duty of finding a home for her adopted niece but alice had gone away and therefore the money was due to lady midlothian rather than to her the saving however was postponed whenever alice would consent to visit cheltenham and a bedroom was secured for her which did not look out over the stables accommodation was also found for her maid much better than that provided for lady macleod's own maid she was a hospitable good old woman painfully struggling to do the best she could in the world it was a pity that she was such a bore a pity that she was so hard to cap men and others a pity that she suspected all tradesmen servants and people generally of a rank of life inferior to her own a pity that she was disposed to condemn forever and ever so many of her own rank because they played cards on weekdays and did not go to church on sundays and a pity as i think above all that while she was so suspicious of the poor she was so lenient to the vices of earls earl's sons and such like alice having fully considered the matter had thought it most prudent to tell lady macleod by letter what she had done in regard to mr gray there had been many objections to the writing of such a letter but there appeared to be stronger objection to that telling it face to face which would have been forced upon her had she not written there would in such case have arisen on lady macleod's countenance a sternness of rebuke which alice did not choose to encounter the same sternness of rebuke would come upon the countenance on receipt of the written information but it would come in its most aggravated form on the immediate receipt of the letter and some of its bitterness would have passed away before alice's arrival i think that alice was right it is better for both parties that any great offense should be confessed by letter but alice trembled as the cab drew up at number three paramount crescent she met her aunt as was usual just inside the drawing room door and she saw it once that if any bitterness had passed away from that face the original bitterness must indeed have been bitter she had so timed her letter that lady macleod should have no opportunity of answering it the answer was written there in the mingled anger and sorrow of those austere features alice she said as she took her knees and her arms and kissed her oh alice what is this yes aunt it is very bad i know and poor alice tried to make a jest of it young ladies are very wicked when they don't know their own minds but if they haven't known them and have been wicked what can they do but repent repent said lady macleod yes i hope you will repent poor mr gray what must he think of it i can only hope aunt that he won't think of it at all for very long that's nonsense my dear of course he'll think of it and of course you'll marry him shall i aunt of course you will why alice hasn't it been all settled among families lady bilothian knew all the particulars of it just as well as i did it is not your word pledged to him i really don't understand what you mean i don't see how it is possible you should go back gentlemen when they do that kind of thing are put out of society but i really think it is worse than a woman then they may if they please put me out of society only that i don't know that i'm particularly in it and the wickedness of the thing alice i'm obliged to say so when you talk to me about society and about lady midlothian i give up to you willingly the more willingly perhaps because i don't care much for one or the other here lady macleod tried to say a word but she failed and alice went on boldly looking up into her aunt's face which became a shade more bitter than ever but when you tell me but when you tell me about wickedness in my conscience then i must be my own judge it is my conscience and the fear of committing wickedness that has made me do this you should submit to be guided by your elders alice no my elders in such a matter as this cannot teach me it cannot be right that i should go to a man's house and be his wife if i do not think that i can make him happy then why did you accept him because i was mistaken i am not going to defend that if you choose to scold me for that you may do so aunt and i will not answer you but as to marrying him or not marrying him now as to that i must judge for myself it was a pity you did not know your own mind earlier it was a pity a great pity i have done myself an injury that is quite irretrievable i know that and i'm prepared to bear it i have done him to an injustice which i regret with my whole heart i can only excuse myself by saying that i might have done him a worse injustice all this was said at the very moment of her arrival and the greeting did not seem to promise much for the happiness of the next month but perhaps it was better for them both that the attack and the defense should thus be made suddenly at their first meeting it is better to pull the string at once when you are in the shower bath and not to stand shivering thinking of the inevitable shock which you can only postpone for a few minutes lady macleod in this case had pulled the string and thus reaped the advantage of her alacrity well my dear said her ladyship i suppose you will like to go upstairs and take off your bonnet mary shall bring you some tea when you come down so alice escaped and when she returned to the comfort of her cup of tea in the drawing room the fury of the storm had passed away she sat talking of other things till dinner and though lady macleod did during the evening make one allusion to poor mr gray the subject was allowed to drop alice was very tender as to her aunt's ailments was more than ordinarily attentive to the long list of cheltenham iniquities which was displayed to her and refrained from combating any of her aunt's religious views after a while they got upon the subject of aunt greenough for whose name lady mcleod had a special aversion as indeed she had for all the vavasor side of alice's family and then alice offered to read and did read to her on many pages out of one of those terrible books of wrath which from time to time come forth and tell us that there is no hope for us lady macleod liked to be so told and as she now poor woman could not read at night herself she enjoyed her evening lady mcglade no doubt did enjoy her niece's sojourn at cheltenham but i do not think it could have been pleasant to alice on the second day nothing was said about mr gray and alice hoped that by her continual readings in the book of wrath her aunt's heart might be softened towards her but it seemed that lady macleod measured the periods of respite for on the third day and on the fifth she returned to the attack did john gray still wish that the match should go on she asked categorically it was in vain that alice tried to put aside the question and begged that the matter might not be discussed lady macleod insisted on her right to carry on the examination and alice was driven to acknowledge that she believed he did wish it she could hardly say otherwise seeing that she had at that moment a letter from him in her pocket in which he still spoke of his engagement as being absolutely binding on him and expressed a hope that this change from london to cheltenham would bring her around and set everything to rights he certainly did in a fashion wave his hand over her as kate had said of him this letter alice had resolved that she would not answer he would probably write again and she would beg him to desist instead of cheltenham bringing her round cheltenham had made her firmer than ever in her resolution i am inclined to think that the best mode of bringing her around at this moment would have been a course of visits from her cousin george and a series of letters from her cousin kate lady macleod's injunctions would certainly not bring her round after ten days ten terrible days devoted to discussions on matrimony in the morning and to the book of wrath in the evening relieved by two tea parties in which the sins of cheltenham were discussed at length lady maclean herself got a letter from mr gray mr gray's kindest compliments to lady macleod he believed that lady macleod was aware of the circumstances of his engagement with miss vevasaur might he call on miss vavasor at lady mclead's house in cheltenham and might he also hope to have the pleasure of making lady mcglade's acquaintance alice had been in the room when her aunt received this letter but her aunt said nothing and alice had not known from whom the letter had come when her aunt crept away with it after breakfast she had suspected nothing and had never imagined that lady mclead in the privacy of her own room looking out upon the stables had addressed a letter to nethercoats but such a letter had been addressed to nether codes and mr gray had been informed that he would be received in paramount crescent with great pleasure mr gray had even indicated the day on which he would come and on the morning of that day lady mclead had presided over the two teacups in a state of nervous excitement which was quite visible to alice more than once alice asked little questions not supposing that she was especially concerned in the matter which had caused her aunt's fidgety restlessness but observing it so plainly that it was almost impossible not to allude to it there's nothing the matter might hear at all at last lady macleod said but as she said so she was making up her mind that the moment had not come in which she must surprise alice of mr gray's intended visit as alice had questioned her at the breakfast table she would say nothing about it then but waited till the teacups were withdrawn until the maid had given her last officious poke to the fire then she began she had mr gray's letter in her pocket and as she prepared herself to speak she pulled it out and held it on the little table before her alice she said i expect a visitor here today alice knew instantly who was the expected visitor probably any girl under such circumstances would have known equally well a visitor aunt she said and managed to hide her knowledge admirably yes alice a visitor i should have told you before only i thought i thought i had better not it is mr mr gray indeed aunt is he coming to see you well he is desirous no doubt of seeing you more especially but he has expressed a wish to make my acquaintance which i cannot under the circumstances think is unnatural of course alice he must want to talk over this affair with your friends i wish i could have spared them said alice i wish i could i have brought this letter here and you can see it if you please it is very nicely written and as far as i am concerned i should not think of refusing to see him and now comes the question what are we to do with him am i to ask him to dinner i take it for granted that he will not expect me to offer him a bed as he knows that i live in lodgings oh no aunt he will certainly not expect that but ought i to ask him to dinner i should be most happy to entertain him though you know how very scanty my means of doing so are but i really do not know how it might be between you and him i mean we should not fight aunt no i suppose not but if you cannot be affectionate in your manner to him i will not answer for my manners on but you may be sure of this that i should be affectionate in my heart i shall always regard him as a dearly loved friend though for many years no doubt i shall be unable to express my friendship that may all be very well alice but it will not be what he will want i think upon the whole that i had better not ask him to dinner perhaps not aunt it is a period of the day in which any special constraint among people is more disagreeable than at any other time and then at dinner the servants must see it i think there might be some awkwardness if he were to dine here i really think there would said alice anxious to have the subject dropped i hope he won't think that i am inhospitable i should be so happy to do the best i could for him for i regard him alice quite as though he were to be your husband and when anybody at all connected with me has come to cheltenham i always have asked them to dine and then i have gubbins as men to come and wait at table as you know of all the men in the world mr gray is the last to think about it that should only make me the more careful but i think it would perhaps be more comfortable if he were to come in the evening much more comfortable aunt i suppose he will be here in the afternoon before dinner and we had better wait at home for him i dare say he'll want to see you alone and therefore i'll retire to my own rooms looking over the stables dear old lady but if you wish it i will receive him first and then martha martha was alice's maid can fetch you down this discussion as to the propriety or impropriety of giving her lover a dinner had not been pleasant to alice but nevertheless when it was over she felt grateful to lady mclead there was an attempt in the arrangement to make mr gray's visit as little painful as possible and though such a discussion at such a time might as well have been avoided the decision to which her ladyship had at last come with reference both to the dinner and the management of the visit was no doubt the right one lady macleod had been quite correct in all her anticipations at 3 o'clock mr gray was announced and lady mclaren alone received him in her drawing room she had intended to give him a great deal of good advice to bid him to keep up his heart and as it were hold up his head to confess to him how very badly alice was behaving and to express her entire concurrence with that theory of bodily ailment as the cause and origin of her conduct but she found that mr gray was a man to whom she could not give much advice it was he who did the speaking at this conference and not she she was over awed by him after the first three minutes indeed her first glance at him at aud her he was so handsome and then in his beauty he had so quiet and almost saddened an heir strange to say that after she had seen him lady maclean entertained for him an infinitely higher admiration than before and yet she was less surprised than she had been at alice's refusal of him the conference was very short and mr gray had not been a quarter of an hour in the house before martha attended upon her mistress with her summons alice was ready and came down instantly she found mr gray standing in the middle of the room waiting to receive her and the look of majesty which had cowed lady macleod had gone from his countenance he could not have received her with a kinder smile had she come to him with a promise that she would at this meeting name the day of their marriage at any rate it does not make him unhappy she said to herself you are not angry he said that i should have followed you all the way here to see you no certainly not angry mr gray all anger that there may be between us must be on your side i feel that thoroughly then there shall be none on either side whatever may be done i will not be angry with you your father advised me to come down here to you you have seen him then yes i have seen him i was in london the day you left it is so terrible to think that i should have brought upon you all this trouble you will bring upon me much worse trouble than that unless but i have not now come down here to tell you that i believe that according to rule in such matters i should not have come to you at all but i don't know that i care much about such rules it is i that have broken all rules when a lady tells a gentleman that she does not wish to see more of him oh mr gray i have not told you that have you not i am glad at any rate to hear you deny it but you will understand what i mean when a gentleman gets his dismissal from a lady he should accept it that is his dismissal under such circumstances as i have received my but i cannot lay down my love in that way nor maintaining my love can i give up the battle it seems to me that i have a right at any rate to know something of your comings and goings as long as unless alice you should take another name than mine my intention is to keep my own this she said in the lowest possible tone almost a whisper with her eyes fixed upon the ground and you will not deny me that right i cannot hinder you whatever you may do i myself have sinned so against you that i can have no right to blame you there shall be no question between us of injury from one to the other in any conversation that we may have or in any correspondence oh mr gray do not ask me to write listen to me should there be any on either side there shall be no idea of any wrong done but i have done you wrong great wrong no alice i will not have it so when i asked you to accept my hand begging the greatest boon which it could ever come to my lot to ask from a fellow mortal i knew how great was your goodness to me when you told me that it should be mine now that you refuse it i know also that you are good thinking that in doing so you are acting for my welfare thinking more of my welfare than of your own oh yes yes it is so mr gray indeed it is so believing that how can i talk of wrong that you are wrong and you are thinking on this subject that your mind has become twisted by false impressions that i believe but i cannot therefore love you less nor so believing can i consider myself to be injured nor am i even so little selfish as you are i think if you were my wife that i could make you happy but i feel sure that my happiness depends on your being my wife she looked up into his face but it was still serene in all its manly beauty her cousin george if he were moved to strong feeling showed it at once in his eyes in his mouth in the whole visage of his countenance he glared in his anger and was impassioned in his love but mr gray when speaking of the happiness of his entire life when confessing that it was now at stake with a decision against him that would be ruinous to it spoke without a quiver in his voice and had no more sign of passion in his face than if he were telling his gardener to move a rose tree i hope and believe that you will find your happiness elsewhere mr gray well we can but differ alice in that we do differ and now i will say one word to explain why i have come here if i were to write to you against your will it would seem that i were persecuting you i cannot bring myself to do that even though i had the right but if i were to let you go from me taking what you have said to me and doing nothing it would seem that i had accepted your decision as final i do not do so i will not do so i come simply to tell you that i am still your suitor if you will let me i will see you again early in january as soon as you have returned to town you will hardly refuse to see me no she said i cannot refuse to see you then it shall be so he said and i will not trouble you with letters nor will i trouble you longer now with words tell your aunt that i have said what i came to say and that i give her my kindest thanks then he took her hand and pressed it not as george babasaur had pressed it and was gone when lady maclaid returned she found that the question of the evening's tea arrangements had settled itself end of chapter 15 read by rachel ellen august 2007. chapter 16 of can you forgive her this is the librivox

the robbery club it has been said that george barasar had a little establishment at robbery down in oxfordshire and there he betook himself about the middle of november he had been long known in this county and whether or no men spoke well of him as a man of business in london men spoke well of him down there as one who knew how to ride to hounds not that vavasor was popular among fellow sportsmen it was quite otherwise he was not a man who made himself really popular and any social meetings of men he did not himself care for the loose little talkings half flat and half sharp of men when they meet together in idleness he was not open enough in his nature for such popularity some men were afraid of him and some suspected him there were others who made up to him seeking his intimacy but these he usually snubbed and always kept at a distance though he had indulged in all the ordinary pleasures of young men he had never been a jovial man in his conversations with men he always seemed to think that he should use his time towards serving some purpose of business with women he was quite the reverse with women he could be happy with women he could really associate a woman he could really love but i doubt whether for all that he could treat a woman well but he was known in the oxfordshire country as a man who knew what he was about and such men are always welcome it is the man who does not know how to ride that is made uncomfortable in the hunting field by cold looks or expressed censure and yet it is very rarely that such men do any real harm such a one may now and then get among the hounds or override the hunt but it is not often so many such complaints are made but in truth the two forward man who presses the dogs is generally one who can ride but is too eager or too selfish to keep in his proper place the bad rider like the bad quist player pays highly for what he does not enjoy and should be thanked but at both games he gets cruelly snubbed at both games george ravisor was great and he was never snubbed there were men who lived together at robery in a kind of club four or five of them who came thither from london running backwards and forwards as hunting arrangements enabled them to do so a brewer or two and a banker with a would-be fast attorney a sporting literary gentleman and a young unmarried member of parliament who had no particular home of his own in the country these men formed the robbery club and a jolly life they had of it they had their own wine closet at the king's head or robery inn as the house had come to be popularly called and supplied their own game the landlord found everything else and as they were not very particular about their bills they were allowed to do pretty much as they liked in the house they were rather imperious very late in their hours sometimes though not often noisy and once there had been a hasty coral which had made the landlord in his anchor say that the club should be turned out of his house but they paid well chaffed the servants much oftener than they bullied them and on the whole were very popular to this club vavasor did not belong alleging that he could not afford to live at their pace and alleging also that his stays at robery were not long enough to make him a desirable member the invitation to him was not repeated and he lodged elsewhere in the little town but he occasionally went in of an evening and would make up with the members a table at whist he had come down to robery by mail train ready for hunting the next morning and walked into the club room just at midnight there he found maxwell the banker grindley the would-be fast attorney and calder jones the member of parliament playing dummy neither of the brewers were there nor was the sporting literary gentleman here's vatasor said maxwell and now he won't play this blagger game any longer somebody told me of avasaur that you were gone away gone away what like a fox i don't know what it was that's something that happened to you since last season that you were married or dead or gone abroad bye george i've lost the trick after all i hate dummy like the devil i never hold a card in dummy's hand yes i know that seven points on each side vavasor come and cut upon my word if anyone had asked me i should have said you were dead but you see nobody ever does think of asking you anything what you probably mean said grindly is that vevosor was not returned for chelsea last february but you've seen him since that are you going to try it again vavasor if you'll lend me the money i will i don't see what on earth a man gains by going into the house said calder jones i couldn't help myself as it happened but upon my word it's a deuce of a boar a fellow thinks he can do as he likes about going but he can't it wouldn't do for me to give it up because oh of course not where should we all be said vavasor it's you and me grindems said maxwell don't parliament and now let's have a rubber they played till three and mr calder jones lost a good deal of money a good deal of money in a little way for they never played above 10 chilling points and no bet was made for more than a pound or two but favorsor was the winner and when he left the room he became the subject of some ill-natured remarks i wonder he likes coming in here said grindley who had himself been the man to invite him to belong to the club and who had at one time indulged the ambition of an intimacy with george bavasor i can't understand it said calder jones who was a little bitter about his money last year he seemed to walk in just when he liked as though he were one of us he's a bad sort of fellow said grindley it's so uncommonly dark i don't know where on earth he gets his money from he was there to some small property in the north but he lost every shilling of that when he was in the wine trade you're wrong there grindems said maxwell making use of a playful nickname which he had invented for his friend he made a pot of money at the wine business and had he stuck to it he would have been a rich man he's lost it all since then and that place in the north into the bargain wrong again grindings my boy if old varvasaur were to die tomorrow vavasor hall would go just as he might choose to leave it george may be a ruined man for what i know there's no doubt about that i believe said grindley perhaps not grindings but he can't have lost vavisor hall because he has never as yet had an interest in it he's the natural heir and will probably get it someday all the same said calder jones isn't it rather odd he should come in here we've asked him often enough said maxwell not because we like him but because we want him so often to make up a rubber i don't like george vavasor and i don't know who does but i like him better than dummy and i'd sooner play wist with men i don't like grindems than not play at all a bystander might have thought from the tone of mr maxwell's voice that he was alluding to mr grindley himself but mr grindley didn't seem to take it in that light that's true of course said he we can't pick min just as we please but i certainly didn't think that he'd make it out for another season the club breakfasted the next morning at nine o'clock in order that they might start at half past for the meet at edgehill edgehill is 12 miles from robery and the hacks would do it in an hour and a half or perhaps a little less does anybody know anything about that brown horse of vavasors said maxwell i saw him coming into the yard yesterday with that old groom of his he had a brown horse last season said grindley a little thing that went very fast but wasn't quite sound on the road that was a mare said maxwell and he sold her to cinco bar footnote ah my friend from whom i have borrowed this sky and of the nobility had he been left with us he would have forgiven me my little theft and now that he is gone i will not change the name end footnote for 150 said calder jones and she wasn't worth the odd 50. he won 70 with her at leamington said maxwell and i doubt whether he'd take his money now is cincobar coming down here this year i don't know said maxwell i hope not he's the best fellow in the world but he can't ride and he don't care for hunting and he makes more row than any fellow i ever met i wish some fellow could tell me something about that fellow's brown horse i'd never buy a horse of avasaurs if i were you said grindley he never has anything that's all right all round and who has said maxwell as he took into his plate a second mutton shop which had just been brought up hot into the room especially for him that's the mistake men make about horses and that's why there's so much cheating i never ask for a warranty with a horse and i don't very often have a horse examined yet i do as well as others you can't have perfect horses any more than you can have perfect men or perfect women you put up with red hair or bad teeth or big feet or sometimes with the devil of a voice but a man when he wants a horse won't put up with anything therefore those who've got horses to sell must lie when i go into the market with 300 pounds i expect a perfect animal as i never do that now i never expect a perfect animal i like him to see i like him to have four legs and i like him to have a little wind i don't much mind anything else bye jove you're about right said calder jones the reader will therefore readily see that mr maxwell the banker reigned as king in that club vavasor had sent two horses on in charge of bat smithers and followed on a pony about 14 hands high which he had ridden as a cover hack for the last four years he did not start till near 10 but he was able to catch bat with his two horses about a mile and a half on that side of edgehill have you managed to come along pretty clean the master asked as he came up with his servant they be the most beastly roads in all england said bat who always found fault with any county in which he happened to be located but i'll warrant i'm cleaner on most on him what for any county should make such roses them i never could tell the roads about there are bad certainly very bad but i suppose they would have been better had providence sent better materials and what do you think of the brown horse bat well sir he said no more and that he said with the drawl he's as fine an animal to look at as ever i put my eye on said george he's all that said bat he's got lots of pace too i'm sure he has sir and they tell me you can't beat him at jumping they can mostly do that sir if they're well handled you see he's a deal over my weight yes he is mr vavasor he's a 14 stoner or 15 said vavasor perhaps he may sir there's no knowing what a horse can carry till he's tried george asked his groom no more questions but felt sure that he had better sell his brown horse if he could now i hear protest that there was nothing specially amiss with the brown horse towards the end of the preceding season he had overreached himself and had been lame and had been sold by some owner with more money than brains who had not cared to wait for a cure then there had gone with him a bad character and a vague suspicion had attached itself to him as there does to hundreds of horses which are very good animals in their way he had come thus the tattersalls and vavasor had bought him cheap thinking that he might make money of him from his form and action he had found nothing to miss with him nor indeed had bat smithers but his character went with him and therefore bat smithers thought it well to be knowing george vavasor knew as much of horses as most men can as perhaps as any man can who is not a dealer or a veterinary surgeon but he like all men doubted his own knowledge though on that subject he would never admit that he doubted it therefore he took bat's word and felt sure that the horse was wrong we shall have a run from the big wood said george if they make and break you will sir said bat at any rate i'll ride the brown horse said george then as soon as that was settled between them the robbery club overtook them there was now a rush of horses on the road altogether and they were within a quarter mile of edgehill church close to which was the meat bat with his two hunters fell a little behind and the others trotted on together the other grooms with their animals were on in advance and were by this time employed in combing out forelocks and rubbing stirrup leathers and horses legs free from the dirt of the roads but bat smithers was like his master and did not congregate much with other men and vavasor was sure to give orders to his servant different from the orders given by others are you well-mounted this year maxwell asked of george vavasor no indeed i never was what i call well-mounted yet i generally have one horse and three or four cripples that brown horse behind there is pretty good i believe i see your man has got the old chestnut mare with him she's one of the cripples not but what she sound as a bell and as good a hunter as i ever wish to ride but she makes a little noise when she's going so that you can hear her three fields off said grindly five if the fields are small enough and your ears are sharp enough said vavasor all the same i wouldn't change her for the best horse i ever saw under you i had you there grindhams said maxwell no he didn't said grindley he didn't have me at all your horses grindly are always up to all the work they have to do said george and i don't know what any man wants more than that had you again grindems said maxwell i can ride against him any day said grindley yes or against a brick wall either if your horse didn't know any better said george had you again grindems said maxwell whereupon mr grindly trotted on round the corner by the church and into the field in which the hounds were assembled the fire had become too hot for him and he thought it best to escape had it been vavasor alone he would have turned upon him and snarled but he could not afford to exhibit any ill temper to the king of the club mr grindly was not popular and where maxwell deterred openly against him his sporting life down at robery would decidedly be a failure the lives of such men as mr grindly men who are tolerated in the daily society of others who are account of their superiors do not seem to have many attractions and yet how many such men does one see in almost every set why mr grindley should have been inferior to mr maxwell the banker or to stone or to pretty men who were brewers or even to mr pollock the heavyweight literary gentleman i can hardly say an attorney by his trade is at any rate as good as a brewer and there are many attorneys who hold their heads high anywhere grindley was a rich man or at any rate rich enough for the life he led i don't know much about his birth but i believe it was as good as maxwell's he was not ignorant or a fool whereas i rather think maxwell was a fool grindley had made his own way in the world but maxwell would certainly not have made himself a banker if his father had not been a banker before him nor could the bank have gone on and prospered had there not been partners there who were better men of business than our friend grinley knew that he had a better intellect than maxwell and yet he allowed maxwell to snub him and he toadied maxwell in return it was not on the score of writing that maxwell claimed and held his superiority for grindly did not want pluck and everyone knew that maxwell had lived freely and that his nerves were not what they had been i think it had come from the outward look of the men from the form of each from the gate and visage which in one was good and in the other insignificant the nature of such dominion of man over man is very singular but this is certain that when once obtained in manhood it may be easily held among boys at school the same thing is even more conspicuous because boys have less of conscience than men are more addicted to tyranny and when weak are less prone to feel the misery and disgrace of succumbing who has been through a large school and does not remember the maxwells and grindleys the tyrants and the slaves those who domineered and those who submitted nor was it even then personal strength nor always superior courage that gave the power of command nor was it intellect or a thoughtfulness nor by any means such qualities as make men and boys lovable it is said by many who have had to deal with boys that certain among them claim and obtain ascendancy by the spirit within them but i doubt whether the ascendancy is not rather thrust on them than claimed by them here again i think the outward gate of the boy goes far towards obtaining for him the submission of his fellows but the tyrant boy does not become the tyrant man or the slave boy the slave man because the outward visage that has been noble or mean and the one changes and becomes so often mean or noble in the other by george there's pollock said maxwell as he wrote into the field by the church i'll bet half a crown that he's come down from london this morning that he was up all night last night that he tells us so three times before the hounds go out of the paddock mr pollock was the heavyweight sporting literary gentleman end of chapter 16 this is a librivox

anthony trollope chapter 17 edge hill of all sites in the world there is i think none more beautiful than that of a pack of foxhounds seated on a winter morning round the huntsman if the place of meeting has been chosen with anything of artistic skill it should be in a grassy field and the field should be small it should not be absolutely away from all buildings and the hedgerows should not have been clipped and paired and made straight with reference to modern agricultural economy there should be trees near and the ground should be a little uneven so as to mark some certain small space as the exact spot where the dogs and servants of the hunt should congregate there are well-known grand meets in england in the parks of noblemen before their houses or even on what are called their lawns but these magnificent affairs have but little of the beauty of which i speak such assemblies are two grand and two ornate and moreover much too far removed from true sporting proprieties at them equippages are shining and ladies dresses are gorgeous and crowds of tradesmen from the neighbouring town have come there to look at the grand folk to my eye there is nothing beautiful in that the meat i speak of is arranged with a view to sport but the accident of the locality may make it the prettiest thing in the world such in a special degree was the case at edgehill at edgehill the whole village consisted of three or four cottages but there was a small old church with an old grey tower and a narrow green almost dark churchyard surrounded by elm trees the road from raybury to the meat passed by the church style and turning just beyond it came upon the gate which led into the little field in which the hounds felt themselves as much at home as in their kennels there might be six or seven acres in the field which was long and narrow so that the huntsman had space to walk leisurely up and down with the pack clustering around him when he considered that longer sitting might chill them the church tower was close at hand visible through the trees and the field itself was green and soft though never splashing with mud or heavy with holes edgehill was a favorite meat in that country partly because foxes were very abundant in the great wood adjacent partly because the whole country around is grassland and partly no doubt from the sporting propensities of the neighboring population as regards my own taste i do not know that i do like beginning a day with a great wood and if not beginning it's certainly not ending it it is hard to come upon the cream of hunting as it is upon the cream of any other delight who can always drink lafitte of the finest can always talk to a woman who is both beautiful and witty or can always find the right spirit in the poetry he reads a man has usually to work through much mud before he gets his nugget it is so certainly in hunting and a big wood too frequently afflicts the sportsman as the mud does the minor the small gauss cover is the happy much envied bit of ground in which the gold is sure to show itself readily but without the woods the gauss would not hold the foxes and without the mud the gold would not have found its resting place but as i have said edgehill was a popular meat and as regarded the meat itself was eminently picturesque on the present occasion the little field was full of horsemen moving about slowly chatting together smoking cigars getting off from their hacks and mounting their hunters giving orders to their servants and preparing for the day there were old country gentlemen there greeting each other from far sides of the county sporting farmers who love to find themselves alongside their landlords and to feel that the pleasures of the country are common to both men down from town like our friends of the robbery club who made hunting their chosen pleasure and who formed in number perhaps the largest portion of the field offices from garrison's roundabout a cloud of servants and a few non-descript stragglers who had picked up horses hither and dither around the country outside the gate on the road were drawn up a variety of vehicles open carriages dog carts gigs and wagonettes and some few of which were seated ladies who had come over to see the meat but edgehill was essentially not a lady's meat the distances to it were long and the rides in cramby wood the big wood were not adapted for wheels there were one or two ladies on horseback as is always the case but edge hill was not a place popular even with hunting ladies one carriage that of the old master of the hounds had entered the sacred precincts of the field and from this the old baronet was just descending as maxwell calder jones and vervesa rode into the field i hope i see you well sir william said maxwell greeting the master calder jones also made his little speech and so did vervesa hmm well yes i'm pretty well thank you just move on will you my mare can't stare here then someone else spoke to him and he only granted an answer having slowly been assisted up onto his horse for he was over 70 years of age he trotted off to the hounds while all the farmers around him touched their hats to him but his mind was laden with affairs of import and he noticed no one in a whispered voice he gave his instructions to his huntsman who said yes sir william no sir william no doubt sir william one long-eared long-legged fellow in a hunting cap and scarlet coat hung listening by anxious to catch something of the orders for the morning who the devil's that fellow that's all breeches and boots said sir william aloud to someone near him as the huntsman moved off with the hounds so william knew the man well enough but was minded to punish him for his discourtesy where shall we find first sir william said calder jones in a voice that was really very humble how the mischief am i to know where the foxes are said sir william with an oath and calder jones retired unhappy and for the moment altogether silenced and yet sir william was the most popular man in the county and no more courteous gentleman ever sat at the bottom of his own table a mild man he was too went out of his saddle and one by no means disposed to assume special supremacy but a master of hounds if he have long held the country and sir william had held his for more than 30 years obtains a power which that of no other potentate can equal he may say and do what he pleases and his tyranny is always respected no conspiracy against him has a chance of success no sedition will meet with sympathy that is if he be successful in showing sport if a man be sworn out abused and put down without cause let him bear it and think that he has been a victim for the public good and let him never be angry with the master that rough tongue is the necessity of the master's position they used to say that no captain could manage a ship without swearing at his men but what are the captain's troubles in comparison with those of the master of hounds the captain's men are under discipline and can be locked up flogged or have their grog stopped the master of hounds cannot stop the grog of any offender and he can only stop the tongue or horse of such a one by very sharp words well pollock when did you come said maxwell by george said the literary gentleman just down from london by the 8 30 from houston square and got over here from winslow in a trap with two fellows i never saw in my life before we came turned him in a fly and did the 19 miles in an hour come athenian draw it mild said maxwell we did indeed i wonder whether they'll pay me for their share of the fly i had to leave onslay crescent at a quarter before eight and i did three hours work before i started then you did it by candlelight said grindley of course i did and why shouldn't i do you suppose no one can work by candlelight except a lawyer i suppose you fellows were playing west and drinking hard i'm uncommon glad i wasn't with you for i shall be able to ride i bet you a pound said jones if there's a run i see more of it than you i'll take that bet with jane said grindley and vervesa shall be the judge gentlemen the hounds can't get out if you will stop up the gate said sir william then the pack passed through and they all trotted on for four miles to cranby wood bavasa as he rode onto the wood was alone or speaking from time to time a few words to his servant i'll ride the chestnut mare in the wood he said and do you keep near me i bent to be galloping up and down them rides i suppose said bat almost contemptuously i shan't gallop up and down the rides myself but do you mark me to know where i am so that i can change if a fox should go away you'll be here all day sir that's my belief if so i won't ride the brown horse at all but do you take care to let me have him if there's a chance do you understand oh yes i understand sir there ain't no difficulty in my understanding only i don't think so you'll ever get a fox out of that wood today well it stands to reason the winds from the northeast cranby wood is very large they're being introduced two or three woods together it was nearly 12 before they found and then for an hour there was great excitement among the men who rode up and down the rides as the hounds drove the fox from one end to another of the enclosure once or twice the poor animal did try to go away and then there was great hallowing galloping and jumping over unnecessary fences but he was headed back again or changed his mind not liking the northeast wind of which bat smithers had predicted such bad things after one the crowd of men became rather more indifferent and clustered together in broad spots eating their lunch smoking cigars and chaffing each other it was singular to observe the amazing quantity of ham sandwiches and of sherry that had been carried into cranberry wood on that day grooms appeared to have been laden with cases and men were as well armed with flasks at their saddle bays as they used to be with pistols maxwell and pollock formed the centre of one of these crowds and chaffed each other with the utmost industry till tired of having inflicted no wounds they turned upon grindly and drove him out of the circle you'll make that man cut his throat if you go on at that said pollock shall i said maxwell then i'll certainly stick to him for the sake of humanity in general during all this time vivaces had a part quite alone and that smithers grimly kept his place about 300 yards from him we shan't do any good today said grindley coming up to vervesa i'm sure i don't know said vavaysa that old fellow has got to be so stupid he doesn't know what he's about said grindly meaning sir william how can he make the fox break said vervesa and as his voice was by naming's encouraging grindley rode away lunch and cigars lasted till two during which hour the hounds the huntsman the whips and old sir william were hard at work as also were some few others who persistently followed every chance of the game from that till three there were two or three flashes in the pan and false reports as to foxes which had gone away which first set men galloping and then made them very angry after three men began to say naughty things to abuse cranberry wood to wish violently that they had remained at home or gone elsewhere and to speak irreverently of their ancient master it's the cassidist place in all creation said maxwell i often said i'd not come here anymore and now i say it again and yet you'll be here the next meet said grindley who had sneaked back to his old companions in weariness of spirit grindham's you know a sight too much said maxwell you do indeed an ordinary fellow has no chance with you grindley was again going to catch it but was on this time saved by the appearance of the huntsman who came galloping up one of the rides with a lot of the hounds at his heels he isn't away tom shorely said maxwell he's out of the woods somewhere said tom and off they all went vervasa changed his horse getting onto the brown one and giving up his chestnut murder bat smithers who suggested that he might as well go home to robery now vervesa gave him no answer but trotting on to the point where the rides met stopped a moment and listened carefully then he took a path diverging away from that by which the huntsman and the crowd of horsemen had gone and made the best of his way through the wood at the end of this he came upon sir william who with no one near him but his servant was standing in the pathway of a little hunting gate hold hard said sir william the hounds are not out of the wood yet is the fox away sir what's the good of that if we can't get the hands out yes he's away he passed out where i'm standing and then he began to blow his horn lustily and by degrees other men and a few hounds came down the ride then tom with his horse almost blown made his appearance outside the wood and soon there came a rash of men nearly on the top of one another pushing on not knowing wither but keenly alive to the fact that the fox had at last consented to move his quarters tom touched his hat and looked at his master inquiringly he's gone for clayden said the master try them up that hedgerow tom did try them up the hedgerow and in half a minute the hounds came upon the scent then you might see men settling their hats on their heads and feeling their feet in their stirrups the moment for which they had so long waited had come and yet there were many who would now have preferred that the fox should be headed back into cover some had but little confidence in their half-blown horses with many the waiting those so abused and anathematized was in truth more to their taste than the run itself with others the excitement had gone by and a gallop over a field or two was necessary before it would be restored with most men at such a moment there is a little nervousness some fear of making a bad start a dread lest others should have more of the success of the hunt than falls to them but there was a great rush and a mighty bustle as the hounds made out their game and so william felt himself called upon to use the rough side of his tongue to more than one delinquent and then certain sly old stages might be seen turning off to the left instead of following the course of the game as indicated by the hounds they were men who had felt the air as they came out and knew that the fox must soon run downwind whatever he might do for the first half mile or so men who knew also which was the shortest way to claydens by the road ah the satisfaction that there is when these men are thrown out and their dead knowledge proved to be of no avail if a fox will only run straight heading from the cover on his real line these very sagacious gentlemen seldom come to much honor and glory in the present instance the beast seemed determined to go straight enough for the hounds ran the scent along three or four hedgerows in a line he had managed to get for himself full 10 minutes start and had been able to leave the cover and all his enemies well behind him before he bethought himself as to his best way to his purpose destination and here from field to field there were little hunting gates at which men crowded lustily poking and shoving each other's horses and hating each other with a bitterness of hatred which is i think known nowhere else no hunting man ever wants to jump if he can help it and the hedges near the gate were not alluring a few there were who made lines for themselves taking the next field to the right or scrambling through the corners of the fences while the rush was going on at the gates and among these was george vivasa he never rode in a crowd always keeping himself somewhat away from men as well as hounds he would often be thrown out and then men would hear no more of him for that day on such occasions he did not show himself as other men do 20 minutes after the fox had been killed or run to ground but be took himself home by himself going through the byways and lanes thus leaving no report of his failure to be spoken of by his compares as long as the line of gates lasted the crowd continued as thick as ever and the best man was he whose horse could shove the hardest after passing some four or five fields in this way they came out upon a road and the scent holding strong the dogs crossed it without any demurring then came doubt into the minds of men many of whom before they would venture away from their position on the lane narrowly watched the leading hounds to see whether there was indication of a turn to the one side or the other so william who 70 odd years excused him turned sharp to the left knowing that he could make claydens that way and very many were the submissive horsemen who followed him a few took the road to the right having in their mind some little game of their own the hardest riders there had already crossed from the road into the country and were going well to the hounds ignorant to some of them of the brook before them and others unheeding foremost among these was birgo fitzgerald berger fitzgerald whom no man had ever known to crane at a fence or to hug a road or to spare his own neck or his horses and yet paul bergo seldom finished well coming to repeated grief in this matter of his hunting as he did so constantly in other matters of his life but almost neck and neck with virgo was pollock the sporting literary gentleman pollock had but two horses to his stud and was never known to give much money for them and he weighed without his boots 15 stones no one ever knew how pollock did it more especially as all the world declared that he was as ignorant of hunting as any tailor he could ride or when he couldn't ride he could tumble men said that of him and he would ride as long as the beast under him could go but few knew the sad misfortunes which paul pollock sometimes encountered the muddy ditches in which he was left the despair with which he would stand by his unfortunate horse when the poor brute could no longer move across some deep plowed field the miles that he would walk at night beside a tired animal as he made his way slowly back to raybury then came tom the huntsman with colder jones close to him and grindly intent on winning his sovereign vervesa had also crossed the road somewhat to the left carrying with him one or two who knew that he was a safe man to follow maxwell had been ignominiously turned by the hedge which together with its ditch formed a fence such as all men do not love at the beginning of her run he had turned from it acknowledging the cause by george said he that's too big for me yet a while and there's no end of a river at the bottom so he had followed the master down the road all of those whom we have named managed to get over the brook pollock's horse barely contriving to get up his hind legs from the broken edge of the bank some nags refused it and their riders thus lost all their chance of sport for that day such is the lot of men who hunt a man pays five or six pounds for his day's amusement and it is ten to one that the occurrences of the day disgust rather than gratify him one or two got in and scrambled out on the other side but tough day pearlings the manchester man from friday street stuck in the mud at the bottom and could not get his mare out till seven men had come with rapes to help him where the devil is my fellow pearling's asked of the countrymen but the countrymen could not tell him that his fellow with his second horse was riding the hunt with great satisfaction to himself george vivesa found that his horse went with him uncommonly well taking his fences almost in the stride of his gallop and giving unmistakable signs of good condition i wonder what it is that's amiss with him said george to himself resolving however that he would sell him that day if he got an opportunity straight went the line of the fox up from the brook and tom began to say that his master had been wrong about clayden's where are we now said burgo as four or five of them dashed through the open gate for farmyard this is bulby's farm said tom and we're going right away for elm and wood almond wood said a stout farmer who had come as far as that with them you won't see elman wood today i suppose you know best said tom and then they were through the yard across another road and down a steep ravine by the side of a little cops he's been through them furs anyway said tom to him galas then up they went the other side of the ravine and saw the body of the hounds almost a field before them at the top i say that took some of the wind out of a fella said pollock you mustn't mind about wind now said burger dashing on wasn't the pace awful coming up to that farmhouse said calder jones looking around to see if grindley was shaken off but grindley with some six or seven others was still there and there also always in the next field to the left was george vivasa he had spoken no word to anyone since the hunt commenced nor had he wished to speak to anyone he desired to sell his horse and he desired also to succeed in the run for other reasons than that though i think he would have found it difficult to define them now they had open grassland for about a mile but with very heavy fences so that the hounds gained upon them a little and pollock's weight began to tell the huntsman and burgo were leading with some fortunate county gentlemen whose good stars had brought him in upon them at the farmyard gate it is the injustice of such accidents as this that breaks the heart of a man who has honestly gone through all the heat and work of the struggle and the hounds had veered a little round to the left making after all for cadence darned if the squire weren't right said tom so william through a baronet was familiarly called the squire throughout a hunt we ain't going for clayton's now asked birgo them's clayton speeches we seize over there said tom taint often the squire's wrong here they came to a little double rail and a little quick set hedge a double rail is a nasty fence always if it has been made anyway strong and one which a man with a wife and a family is justified in avoiding they mostly can be avoided having gates and this could have been avoided but burgo never avoided anything and went to it beautifully the difficulty is to be discreet when the man before one has been indiscreet tom went for the gate as did pollock who knew that he could have no chance at the double rails but colder jones came to infinite grief striking the top bar of the second rail and going head foremost out of his saddle as though thrown by a catapult there we must leave him grindly rejoicing greatly at this discomforture made for the gate but the country gentleman with the fresh horse accomplished the rails and was soon alongside of birgo i didn't see you at the start said burgay and i didn't see you said the country gentlemen so it's even bergo did not see the thing in the same light but he said no more gwindly and tom were soon after them tom doing his utmost to shake off the attorney pollock was coming on also but the pace had been too much for him and though the ground rode light his poor beast labored and grunted sorely the hands were still veering somewhat to the left and burgo jumping over a small fence into the same field with them saw that there was a horseman ahead of him this was george vivasa who was going well without any symptom of distress and now they were at claydens having run over some seven miles of ground in about 35 minutes to those who do not know what hunting is this pace does not seem very extraordinary but it had been quite quick enough as was testified by the horses which had gone the distance our party entered clayton's park at back through a gate in the park palings that was open on hunting days but a much more numerous lot was there almost as soon as them who had come in by the main entrance this lot was headed by sir william and our friend maxwell was with him a jolly thing so far said burger to maxwell about the best we've had this year i didn't see a yard of it said maxwell i hadn't nerved to get off the first road and i haven't been off it ever since maxwell was a man who never lied about his hunting or had the slightest shame in riding raids he's been with you said he there have been tom and i and cold jones was there for a while i think he killed himself somewhere and there was pollock and your friend grindley and a chap who's name i don't know who dropped out of heaven about halfway in the run and there was another man whose back i saw just now there he is by heavens it's for vasa i didn't know he was here they hung about the clayden covers for 10 minutes and then their fox went off again their fox or another as to which there was a great discussion afterwards but he who would have suggested the idea of a new fox to sir william would have been a bold man a fox however went off turning still to the left from cayden's towards raybury those ten minutes had brought up some fifty men but it did not bring up calder jones nor tough day pearlings nor some half dozen others who had already come to serious misfortune but grindley was there very triumphant in his own success and already talking of jones's sovereign and pollock was there also thankful for the ten minutes law and trusting that wind might be given to his horse to finish the run triumphantly but the pace on leaving cadence was better than ever this may have come from the fact that the scent was keener as they got out so close upon their game but i think they must have changed their fox maxwell who saw him go saw that he was fresh and clean burger said that he knew it to be the same fox but gave no reason same fox of course it was why shouldn't it be the same said tom the country gentleman who had dropped from heaven was quite sure that they had changed and so were most of those who had ridden the road pollock can find himself to hoping that he might soon be killed and that thus his triumph for the day might be assured only went and the pace soon became too good for the poor author his horse at last refused a little hedge and there was not another trot to be got out of him that night pollock turned up at robery about nine o'clock very hungry and it was known that his animal was alive but the poor horse ate not a grain of oats that night nor on the next morning vervasa had again taken a line to himself on this occasion a little to the right of the meat but maxwell followed him and rode close with him to the end burger for a while still led the body of the field incurring at first much condemnation from sir william nominally for hurrying on among the hounds but in truth because he got before sir william himself during this latter part of the run so william stuck to the hounds in spite of his 70 odd years going down into mar and bottom some four or five were left behind before they feared the soft ground near the river and did not know the past through it but sir william knew it and those who remain close to him got over that trouble burgo who would still lead nearly founded in the bog but he was light and his horse pulled him through leaving a full shoe in the mud after that burger was contented to give sir william the lead then they came up by mar and pitts to clashy smallwood which they passed without hanging there a minute and over the grasslands of cleshy farm here vavaysa and maxwell joined the others having gained some 300 yards in distance by their course but having been forced to jump the marham stream which sir william had fought it the pace now was as good as the horses could make it and perhaps something better as regarded some of them so william's servant had been with him but and he had got his second horse at cadence maxwell had been equally fortunate tom's second horse had not come up and his beast was in great distress grindley had remained behind at mirror bottom being contented perhaps with having beaten colder james from whom by the by i may he declare that he never got his sovereign burgh evasive and the country gentleman still held on but it was devoutly desired by all of them that the fox might soon come to the end of his tether ah that intense longing that the fox may fail when the failings of the horse begin to make themselves known and the consciousness comes on that all that one has done will go for nothing unless the thing can be brought to a close in a field or two so far you have triumphed leaving scores of men behind but of what good is all that if you also are to be left behind at the last it was manifest now to all he knew the country that the fox was making for thorned and deer park but thorned in deer park was still two miles ahead of them and the hounds were so near to their game that the poor beast could hardly hope to live till he got there he had tried a well-known drain near clashy farmhouse but it had been inhospitably naked cruelly closed against him soon after that he threw himself down in a ditch and the eager hounds overran him giving him a moment's law and giving also a moment's law to horses that wanted it as badly i'm about done for said burgo to maxwell luckily for you said maxwell the foxes much in the same way but the fox had still more power left in him than poor bergo fitzgerald horse he gained a minute's check and then he started again being viewed away by sir william himself the country gentleman of whom mentioned has been made also viewed him and hollowed as he did so yorick's tally gone away the unfortunate man what the are you roaring at said sir william do you suppose i don't know where the fox is whereupon the country gentleman retreated and became less conspicuous than he had been away they went again off kleschy and into thorndon parish on the land of sorrel farm a spot well to be remembered by one or two ever afterwards here sir william made for a gate which took him a little out of the line but maxwell and berge fitzgerald followed by vervesa went straight ahead there was a huge ditch and boundary bank there which the william had known and had avoided maxwell whose pluck had returned to him at last took it well his horse was comparatively fresh and made nothing of it then came poor burgo oh burgo had to not have been a very child thus should have known that now at this time of day after all that thy gallant horse had done for thee it was impossible to thee or him but when did berg a fitzgerald know anything he rode at the bank as though it had been the first fence of the day striking his poor beast with his spurs as their muscle strength and new power could be imparted by their rows the animal rose at the bank and in some way got upon it scrambling as he struck it with his chest and then fell headlong into the ditch at the other side a confused mass of head limbs and body his career was at an end and he had broken his heart poor noble beast noble in vain to his very last gasp he had done his best and had deserved that he should have been in better hands his master's ignorance had killed him there are men who never know how little a horse can do or how much there was to some extent a gap in the fence when maxwell had first ridden it and burgo had followed him a gap or break in the hedge at the top indicating plainly the place at which a horse could best get over to this spot vervaisa followed and was on the bank at birgo's heels before he knew what had happened but the man had got away and only the horse lay there in the ditch are you hurt said vervesa can i do anything but he did not stop if you can find a chap just send him to me said burgo in a melancholy tone then he sat down with his feet in the ditch and looked at the carcass of his horse there was no more need of jumping that day the way was open into the next field a turnip field and there amidst the crisp breaking turnip tops with the breath of his enemies hot upon him with their sharp teeth at his entrails biting at them impotently in the agonies of his death struggle poor raynard finished his career maxwell was certainly the first there but sir william and george vivesa were close upon him that taking of brushes of which we used to hear is a little out of fashion but if such honour were due to anyone it was due to vevasa for he and he only had ridden the hunt throughout but he claimed no honour and none was specially given to him he and maxwell rode homewoods together having sent assistance to poor burger fitzgerald and as they went along the raid saying that little to each other maxwell in a very indifferent voice asked him a question what do you want for that horse vervasa 150 said vervesa his mind said maxwell so the brown horse was sold for about half his value because he had brought with him a bad character end of chapter 17. chapter 18 of can you

by anthony trollope chapter 18 alice vabassar's great relations virgo fitzgerald of whose hunting experiences something has been told in the last chapter was a young man born in the purple of the english aristocracy he was related to half the dukes in the kingdom and had three countesses for his aunts when he came of age he was master of a sufficient fortune to make it quite out of the question that he should be asked to earn his bread and though that and other windfalls that had come to him had long since been spent no one had ever made to him so ridiculous a proposition as that he was now thirty and for some years past had been known to be much worse than penniless but still he lived on in the same circles still slept softly and drank of the best and went about with his ballot and his groom and his horses and fared sumptuously every day some people said the countesses did it for him and some said that it was the dukes while others again declared that the jews were his most generous friends at any rate he still seemed to live as he had always lived setting tradesmen at defiance and laughing to scorn all the rules which regulate the lives of other men about 18 months before the time of which i am now speaking a great chance had come in this young man's way and he had almost succeeded in making himself one of the richest men in england there had been then a great heiress in the land on whom the properties of half a dozen ancient families had concentrated and burgo who in spite of his iniquities still kept his position in the drawing rooms of the great had almost succeeded in obtaining the hand and the wealth as people still said that he had obtained the heart of the lady glenn cora mccluskey but sundry mighty magnates driven almost to despair at the prospect of such a sacrifice had sagaciously put their heads together and the result had been that the lady glenn cora had heard reason she had listened with many haughty tossings indeed of her proud little head with many throbbings of her passionate young heart but in the end she listened and heard reason she saw virgo for the last time and told him that she was the promised bride of plantagenet palisaire nephew and heir of the duke of omnium he had borne it like a man never having ground openly or quivered once before any comrade at the name of the lady glenn cora she had married mr palisaire at st george's square and on the morning of the marriage he had hung about his club door in paul mall listening to the bells and saying a word or two about the wedding with admirable courage it had been for him a great chance and he had lost it who can say too that his only regret was for the money he had spoken once a bit to a married sister of his in whose house he had first met lady glencora i shall never marry now that is all he said and then he went about living his old reckless life with the same recklessness as ever he was one of those young men with dark hair and blue eyes who wear no beard and are certainly among the handsomest of all god's creatures no more handsome man than burgo fitzgerald lived in his days and this merit at any rate was his that he thought nothing of his own beauty but he lived ever without conscience without purpose with no idea that it behooved him as a man to do anything but eat and drink or ride well to hounds till some poor brute much nobler than himself perished beneath him he chiefly concerns our story at this present time because the lady glencora who had loved him and would have married him had not those sagacious heads prevented it was a cousin of alice bavasaurs she was among those very great relations with whom alice was connected by her mother's side being indeed so near to lady macleod that she was first cousin to that lady only once removed lady midlothian was aunt to the lady glenn cora and our alice might have called cousins and not been forbidden with the old lord of the isles lady glencore's father who was dead however sometime previous to that affair with burgo and with the marquis of old rikki who was lady glencore's uncle and had been her guardian but alice had kept herself aloof from her grand relations on her mother's side choosing rather to hold herself as belonging to those who were of her father's kindred with lady glancora however she had for a short time for some week or ten days been on terms of almost affectionate intimacy it had been then when the wayward heiress with the bright waving locks had been most strongly minded to give herself and her wealth to bergo fitzgerald virgo had had money dealings with george babasaur and knew him knew him intimately and had learned the fact of his cousinship between the heiress and his friend's cousin whereupon in the agony of those weeks in which the sagacious heads were resisting her love lady glencora came to her cousin in queen anne street and told alice all that tale was alice she asked afraid of the marquises and the countesses or of all the rank and all the money which they boasted alice answered that she was not at all afraid of them then would she permit lady glancora and burgo to see each other in the drawing room at queen anne street just once just once so that they might arrange that little plan of an elopement but alice could not do that for her newly found cousin she endeavored to explain that it was not the dignity of the sagacious heads which stood in her way but her woman's feeling of what was right and wrong in such a matter why should i not marry him said lady glenn cora with her eyes flashing he is my equal alice explained that she had no word to say against such a marriage she counseled her cousin to be true to her love if her love was in itself true but she an unmarried woman who had hitherto not known her cousin might not give such help as that if you will not help me i am helpless said the lady glenn cora and then she kneeled at alice's knees and threw her wavy locks abroad on alice's lap how shall i bribe you said lady glancora next to him i will love you better than all the world but alice though she kissed the fair forehead and owned that such reward would be worth much to her could not take any bribe for such a cause then lady glenn cora had been angry with her calling her heartless and threatening her that she too might have sorrow of her own and want assistance alice told nothing of her own tale how she had loved her cousin and had been forced to give him up but said what kind words she could and she of the waving hair and light blue eyes had been pacified then she had come again had to come daily while the sagacious heads were at work and alice in her trouble had been a comfort to her but the sagacious heads were victorious as we know and lady glenn cora mccluskey became lady glenn cora palisaire with all the propriety in the world instead of becoming wife to poor burgo with all imaginable impropriety and then she wrote a letter to alice very short and rather sad but still with a certain sweetness in it she had been counseled that it was not fitting for her to love as she had thought to love and she had resolved to give up her dream her cousin alice she knew would respect her secret she was going to become the wife of the best man she thought in all the world and it should be the one care of her life to make him happy she said not a word in all her letter of loving this newly found lord she was to be married at once would alice be one among the bevy of bridesmaids who were to grace the ceremony alice wished her joy heartily heartily she said but had declined that office of bridesmaid she did not wish to undergo the cold looks of the lady julia's and a lady jane's who all would know each other but none of whom would know her so she sent her cousin a little ring and asked her to keep it amidst all the wealthy tribute of marriage gifts which would be poured forth at her feet from that time to the present alice had heard no more of lady glenn cora she had been married late in the preceding season and had gone away with mr palisaire spending her honeymoon amidst the softness of some italian lake they had not returned to england till the time had come for them to encounter the magnificent christmas festivities of mr palisare's uncle the duke on this occasion gatherham castle the vast palace which the duke had built at a cost of nearly a quarter of a million was opened as it had never been opened before for the duke's heir had married to the duke's liking and the duke was a man who could do such things handsomely when he was well pleased then there had been a throng of bridal guests and a succession of bridal deities which had continued themselves even past the time at which mr palisaire was due at westminster and mr palisare was a legislator who served his country with the utmost assiduity so the london season commenced progressed and was consumed and still alice heard nothing more of her friend and cousin lady glenn cora but this had troubled her not at all a chance circumstance the story of which she had told to no one had given her a short intimacy with this fair child of the gold mines but she had felt that they too could not live together in habits of much intimacy she had when thinking of the young bride only thought of that wild love episode in the girl's life it had been strange to her that she should in one week have listened to the most passionate protestations from her friend of love for one man and then have been told in the next that another man was to be her friend's husband but she reflected that her own career was much the same only with the interval of some longer time but her own career was not the same clencora had married mr palisaire had married him without pausing to doubt but alice had gone on doubting till at last she had resolved that she would not marry mr gray she thought of this much in those days at cheltenham and wondered often whether glenn coral lived with her husband in the full happiness of conjugal love one morning about three days after mr gray's visit there came to her two letters as to neither of which did she know the writer by the handwriting lady macleod had told her with some hesitation indeed for lady mclead was afraid of her but had told her nevertheless more than once that those noble relatives had heard of the treatment to which mr gray was being subjected and had expressed their great sorrow if not dismay or almost anger lady macleod indeed had gone as far as she dared and might have gone further without any sacrifice of truth lady midlothian had said that it would be disgraceful to the family and lady glencore's aunt the marchiness of old riki had demanded to be told what it was the girl wanted when the letters came lady mclead was not present and i am disposed to think that one of them had been written by concerted arrangement with her but if so she had not dared to watch the immediate effect of her own projectile this one was from lady midlothian of the other lady macleod certainly knew nothing though it also had sprung out of the discussions which had taken place as to alice's sins in the old reiki midlothian set this other letter was from lady glenn cora alice opened the two one without reading the other very slowly lady midlothians was the first opened and then came a spot of anger on alice's cheeks as she saw the signature and caught a word or two as she allowed her eye to glance down the page then she opened the other which was shorter and when she saw her cousin's signature glenn cora palisaire she read that letter first read it twice before she went back to the disagreeable task of perusing lady midlothian's lecture the reader shall have both the letters but that from the countess shall have precedence castleriki nb october 1860 blank my dear miss vavasor i have not the pleasure of knowing you personally though i have heard of you very often from our dear mutual friend and relative lady mclead with whom i understand that you are at present on a visit your grandmother by the mother's side lady flora mclead and my mother the countess of leith were half sisters and those circumstances since that have prevented our seeing so much of each other as is desirable i have always remembered the connection and have ever regarded you as one in whose welfare i am bound by ties of blood to take a warm interest since that what does she mean by since that said alice to herself she has never set eyes on me at all why does she talk of not having seen as much of me as is desirable i had learned with great gratification that you were going to be married to a most worthy gentleman mr john gray of nethercoats in cambridgeshire when i first heard this i made it my business to institute some inquiries and i was heartily glad to find that your choice had done you so much credit if the reader has read alice's character as i have meant it should be read it will thoroughly be understood that this was wormwood to her i was informed that mr gray is in every respect a gentleman that he is a man of most excellent habits and one to whom any young woman could commit her future happiness with security that his means are very good for his position and that there was no possible objection to such a marriage all this gave great satisfaction to me in which i was joined by the marchiness of old riki who is connected with you almost as nearly as i am and who i can assure you feels a considerable interest in your welfare i am staying with her now and in all that i say she agrees with me you may feel then how dreadfully we were dismayed when we were told by dear lady mclead that you had told mr gray that you intended to change your mind my dear miss vavasor can this be true there are things in which a young lady has no right to change her mind after it has been once made up and certainly when a young lady has accepted a gentleman that is one of them he cannot legally make you become his wife but he has a right to claim you before god and man have you considered that he has probably furnished his house in consequence of his intended marriage and perhaps in compliance with your own especial wishes i think that lady mclead must have told the countess something that she had heard about the garden have you reflected that he has of course told all his friends have you any reason to give i am told none nothing should ever be done without a reason much less such a thing as this in which your own interests and i may say respectability are involved i hope you will think of this before you persist in destroying your own happiness and perhaps that of a very worthy man i had heard some years ago when you were much younger that you had become imprudently attached in another direction with a gentleman with none of those qualities to recommend him which speaks so highly for mr gray it would grieve me very much as it would also the martinez who in this matter thinks exactly as i do if i were led to suppose that your rejection of mr gray had been caused by any renewal of that project nothing my dear miss babasaur could be more unfortunate and i might almost add a stronger word i have been advised that a line from me as representing your poor mother's family especially as i have at the present moment the opportunity of expressing lady old ricky's sentiments as well as my own might be of service i implore you my dear miss phabasaur to remember what you owe to god and man and to carry out an engagement made by yourself that is in all respects come ill foe and which will give entire satisfaction to your friends and relatives margaret m midlothian i think that lady macleod had been wrong in supposing that this could do any good she should have known alice better and should also have known the world better but her own reverence for her own noble relatives was so great that she could not understand even yet that all such feeling was wanting to her niece it was to her impossible that the expressed opinion of such and one as the countess of midlothian owning her relationship and solicitude and condescending at the same time to express friendship she could not i say understand that the voice of such and one so speaking should have no weight whatever but i think that she had been quite right in keeping out of alice's way at the moment of the arrival of the letter alice read it slowly and then replacing it in its envelope leaned back quietly in her chair with her eyes fixed upon the teapot on the table she had however the other letter on which to occupy her mind and thus relieve her from the effects of too deep and animosity against the countess the lady glenn cora's letter was as follows matching priory thursday dear cousin i have just come home from scotland where they have been telling me something of your little troubles i had little troubles once too and you were so good to me will you come to us here for a few weeks we shall be here till christmas time when we go somewhere else i have told my husband that you are a great friend of mine as well as a cousin and that he must be good to you he is very quiet and works very hard at politics but i think you will like him do come there will be a good many people here so that you will not find it dull if you will name the day we will send the carriage for you at matching station and i dare say i can manage to come myself yours affectionately g palisaire p.s i know what will be in your mind you will say why did not she come to me in london she knew the way to queen anne street well enough dear alice don't say that believe me i had much to do and think of in london and if i was wrong yet you will forgive me mr palisaire says i am to give you his love as being a cousin and say that you must come this letter was certainly better than the other but alice on reading it came to a resolve that she would not accept the invitation in the first place even that allusion to her little troubles jarred upon her feelings and then she thought that her rejection of mr gray could be no special reason why she should go to matching priory was it not very possible that she had been invited that she might meet lady midlothian there and encounter all the strength of a personal battery from the countess lady glenn cora's letter she would of course answer but to lady midlothian she would not condescend to make any reply whatever about 11 o'clock lady mclead came down to her for half an hour or so alice said nothing nor did lady mclead ask any question she looked inquisitively at alice eying the letter which was lying by the side of her niece's work basket but she said no word about mr gray or the countess at last alice spoke and she said i have had a letter this morning from your friend lady midlothian she is my cousin alice and yours as much as mine your cousin then aunt but it is of more moment that she is your friend she certainly is not mine nor can her cousinship afford any justification for her interfering in my affairs alice from her position her position can be nothing to me ant i will not submit to it there is her letter which you can read if you please after that you may burn it i need hardly say that i shall not answer it and what am i to say to her alice nothing from me and from yourself whatever you please of course then there was silence between them for a few minutes and i have had another letter from lady glenn cora who married mr palisaire and whom i knew in london last spring and has that offended you too no there is no offense in that she asks me to go and see her at matching priory her husband's house but i shall not go but at last alice agreed to pay this visit and it may be as well to explain here how she was brought to do so she wrote to lady glencora declining and explaining frankly that she did decline because she thought it probable that she might there meet lady midlothian lady midlothian she said had interfered very unwarrantably in her affairs and she did not wish to make her acquaintance to this lady glencora replied posthaste that she had intended no such horrid treachery as that for alice that neither would lady milothian be there nor any of that set by which alice knew that lady glancora referred specially to her aunt the marchi ness that no one would be at matching who could torment alice either with right or without it except so far as i myself may do so lady glencora said and then she named an early day in november at which she would herself undertake to meet alice at the matching station on receipt of this letter alice after two days doubt accepted the invitation end of chapter 18 recording by laura koskinen

burgoyne can you forgive her by anthony trollope chapter 19 tribute from oily mead kate beber saw in writing to her cousin alice felt some little difficulty in excusing herself for remaining in norfolk with mrs gruno she had laughed at mrs greno before she went to yarmouth and had laughed at herself for going there and in all her letters since she had spoken of her aunt as a silly vain worldly woman weeping crocodile tears for an old husband whose death had released her from the tedium of his company and spreading lures to catch new lovers but yet she agreed to stay with her aunt and remain with her in lodgings at norwich for a month but mrs greenough had about her something more than kate had acknowledged when she first attempted to read her aunt's character she was clever and in her own way persuasive she was very generous and possessed a certain power of making herself pleasant to those around her in asking kate to stay with her she had so asked as to make it appear that kate was to confer the favour she had told her niece that she was all alone in the world i had money she had said with more appearance of true feeling than kate had observed before i have money but i have nothing else in the world i have no home why should i not remain here in norfolk where i know a few people if you'll say that you'll go anywhere else with me i'll go to any place you'll name kate had believed this to be hardly true she had felt sure that her aunt wished to remain in the neighborhood of her seaside admirers but nevertheless she had yielded and at the end of october the two ladies with jeanette settled themselves in comfortable lodgings within the precincts of the close at norwich mr gruno at this time had been dead for nearly six months that his widow made some mistakes in her dates and appeared to think that the interval had been longer on the day of their arrival at norwich it was evident that this error had confirmed itself in her mind only think she said if she unpacked a little miniature of the departed one and sat with it for a moment in her hands as she pressed her handkerchief to her eyes only think that is feeling nine months since he was with me six you mean aunt said kate unadvisedly only nine months repeated mrs gruno as though she had not heard her niece only nine months after that kate attempted to correct no more such errors it happened in may miss jeannette said afterwards to miss babisal and that as we reckons it will be just the 12th month come christmas that kate paid no attention to this and jeanette was very ungrateful and certainly should have indulged herself in no such sarcasms when mrs gruno made a slight change in her morning which she did on her arrival at norwich using a little lace among her crepes jeanette reaped a rich harvest in gifts of clothes mrs gruno knew well enough that she expected more from a servant than mayor service that she wanted loyalty discretion and perhaps sometimes a little secrecy and as she paid for these things she should have had them kate undertook to stay a month with her aunt at norwich and mrs greenough undertook that mr chesaka should declare himself as kate's lover before the expiration of the month it was in vain that kate protested that she wanted no such lover and that she would certainly reject him if he came that's all very well my dear aunt grinneau would say a girl must settle herself someday you know and you'd have it all your own way at oily mead but the office certainly showed much generosity on the part of aunt greenough in as much as mr chessacre's attentions were apparently paid to herself rather than to her niece mr chesaka was very attentive he had taken the lodgings in the coast and had sent over fowls and cream from oily need and had called on the morning after their arrival but in all his attentions he distinguished the aunt more particularly than the niece i am all for mr chesapeake miss said jeanette once the captain is perhaps the nicer looking gentleman and he ain't so podgy like but what's good looks if a gentleman hasn't got nothing i can't abide anything that's poor neither can't missus from which it was evident that jeanette gave miss babysaw no credit in having mr chess acre in utrain captain bellfield was also at norwich having obtained some quasi-military employment there in the matter of drilling volunteers certain capacities in that line it may be supposed that he possessed and as his friend chesaca said of him he was going to earn an honest penny once in his life the captain and mr chessoker had made up any little differences that had existed between them at your mouth and were close allies again when they left that place some little compact on matters of business must have been arranged between them for the captain was in funds again he was in funds again through the liberality of his friend and no payment of former loans had been made nor had there been any speech of such mr chairsaiker had drawn his purse strings liberally and had declared that if all went well the hospitality of oily made should not be wanting during the winter captain bellfield had nodded his head and declared that all should go well you won't see much of the captain i suppose said mr chairsaker to mrs greno on the morning of the day after her arrival at norwich he had come across the whole wave from oily mead to ask her if she found herself comfortable and perhaps with an eye to the norwich markets at the same time he now wore a pair of black riding boots over his trousers and a round topped hat and looked much more at home than he had done by the seaside not much i dare say said the widow he tells me that he must be on duty 10 or 12 hours a day poor palo it's a juice good thing for him and he ought to be very much obliged to me for putting him in the way of getting it that he told me to tell you that if he didn't call you were not to be angry with him oh no i shall remember of course you see if you don't work now he must come to grief he hasn't got a shilling that he can call his own has any really not a shilling mrs bruno and then he's awfully in debt he's isn't a bad fellow you know only there's no trusting him for anything then after a few further enquiries that were almost tender and a promise of further supplies from the dairy mr cheesesaker took his leave almost forgetting to ask after miss favisor but as he left the house he had a word to say to jeanette he hasn't been here has he jenny we haven't seen a sight of him yet sir and i have thought it a little odd then mr cheese acre gave the girl half a crown and went his way jeanette i think must have forgotten that the captain had looked in after leaving his military duties on the preceding evening the captain's 10 or 12 hours of daily work was performed no doubt at irregular intervals some days late and some days early that he might be seen about norwich almost at all times during the early part of that november and he might be very often seen going into the close in norwich there are two weekly market days but on those days the captain was no doubt kept more entirely to his military employment for at such times he never was seen near the close now mr cheese acres visits to the town were generally made on market days and so it happened that they did not meet on such occasions mr cheese acre always was driven to mrs greno's door in a cab so he would come into town by railway and he would deposit a basket bearing the rich produce of his dairy it was in vain that mrs gruno protested against these gifts for she did protest and declared that if they were continued they would be sent back they were however continued and mrs gruno was at her wit's end about them cheese acre would not come up with them but leaving them would go about his business and would return to see the ladies on such occasions he would be very particular in getting his basket from jeanette as he did so he would generally ask some question about the captain and jeanette would give him answers confidentially so that there was a strong friendship between these two what am i to do about it said mrs greeno as kate came into the sitting room one morning and saw on the table a small hamper lined with a clean cloth it's as much as jeanette has been able to carry so it is ma'am quite and i'm strong in the arm too ma'am what am i to do kate he is such a good creature and he do admire you both so much said jeanette of course i don't want to offend him for many reasons said the aunt looking knowingly at her niece i don't know anything about your reasons aunt but if i were you i should leave the basket just as it is until he comes in the afternoon would you mind seeing him yourself kate and explaining to him that it won't do to get on in this way perhaps you wouldn't mind telling him that if you'll promise not to bring any more you won't object to take this one indeed aren't i can't do that they're not brought to me okay nonsense aren't i won't have you say so before jeanette too i think it's for both ma'am i do indeed and there certainly ain't any cream to be bought like it in norwich nor yet eggs i wonder what there is in the basket and the widow lifted up the corner of the cloth i declare if there isn't a turkey poult already my said jeanette a turkey poult why that's worth 10 and sixpence in the market if it's worth a penny it's out of the question that i should take upon myself to say anything to him about it said kate upon my word i don't see why you shouldn't as well as i said mrs greno i'll tell you what ma'am said jeanette let me just ask him who they're poor he'll tell me anything don't do anything of the kind jeanette said kate of course aren't they brought for you there's no doubt about that a gentleman doesn't bring cream and turkeys too i've never heard of such a thing i don't see why a gentleman shouldn't bring cream and turkeys to you just as well as to me indeed he told me once as much himself then if there for me i'll leave them down outside the front door and he may find his provisions there and kate proceeded to lift the basket off the table leave it alone kate said mrs greno with a voice that was rather solemn and which had to something of sadness in its tone leave it alone i'll see mr chess okay myself and i do hope you won't mention my name it's the most absurd thing in the world the man never spoke two dozen words to me in his life he speaks to me though said mrs greno i dare say he does said kate and about you too my dear he doesn't come here with those big flowers in his buttonhole for nothing said jeanette not if i knows what a gentleman means of course he doesn't said mrs gueno if you don't object aunt said kate i will write to grand papa and tell him that i will return home at once what because of mr chesaka said mrs greno i don't think you'll be so silly as that my dear on the present occasion mrs greno undertook that she would see the generous gentleman and endeavour to stop the supplies from his farmyard it was well understood that he would call about four o'clock when his business in the town would be over and that he would bring with him a little boy who would carry away the basket at that hour kate of course was absent and the widow received mr chessacre alone the basket and cloth were there in the sitting room and on the table we laid out the rich things which it had contained the turkey pulled first on a dish provided in the lodging house then a dozen fresh eggs in a soup plate then the cream in a little tin can which for the last fortnight had passed regularly between oily mead and the house in the coast and as to which mr chesaka was very pointed in his inquiries with jeanette then behind the cream there were two or three heads a brocolite and a stick of celery as thick as a man's wrist all together the tribute was a very comfortable assistance to the housekeeping of a lady living in a small way in lodgings mr chesaka when he saw the array on the long sofa table knew that he was to prepare himself for some resistance but that resistance would give him he thought an opportunity of saying a few words that he was desirous of speaking and he did not altogether regret it i just called in he said to see how you were we are not likely to stop said mrs greno pointing to the delicacies from oily made just a few trifles that my old woman asked me to bring in said chessacre she insisted on putting them up but your old woman is by far too magnificent said mrs greno she really frightens kate and me out of our wits mr chesaka had no wish that miss fervosaur's name should be brought into play upon the occasion dear mrs greno said he there is no cause for you to be alarmed i can assure you mere trifles light is there you know i don't think anything of such things as these but i and kate think a great deal of them a very great deal i can assure you do you know we had a long debate this morning whether or not we would return them to oily need return them mrs greno yes indeed what are women situated as we are to do under such circumstances when gentlemen will be too liberal their liberty must be repressed and have i been too liberal mrs bueno what is a young turkey and a stick of salary when a man is willing to give everything that he has in the world you've got a great deal more in the world mr chessacre than you'd like to part with but we won't talk of that now when shall we talk of it if you really have anything to say you had by far better speak to code herself mrs greno you mistake me indeed you mistake me just at this moment as he was drawing close to the window she heard or fancied that she heard jeanette's step and going to the sitting room door called to her maid jeannette did not hear her but the bell was rung and then jeannette came you may take these things down jeanette she said mr chesaka has promised that no more shall come but i haven't promised said mr chesaka you will oblige me and kate i know and jeanette tell miss babasaur that i am ready to walk with her then mr chessaker knew that he could not say those words on that occasion and as the hour of his train was near he took his departure and went out of the close followed by the little boy carrying the basket the cloth and the tin cared end of chapter 19. | Priceless Audiobooks | UCly1zcKPGzGW9wZMCZodWOA | 2020-04-23 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 20,669 |

cJQu7nGPPK8 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJQu7nGPPK8 | Sharia Blasphemy Law Upheld As Constitutional by Nigerian Court | sharia blasphemy law upheld as constitutional by nigerian court on august 17th a nigerian federal appeals court ruled that the islamic sharia aka islamic law does not violate the country's secular constitution in a two-to-one decision it was also decided the trio courts have jurisdiction over blasphemy cases sharia courts can impose a death sentence on convicted blasphemers the appeal was filed in the case of 22 year old yahya aminu sharif an islamic gospel musician who was accused of blasphemy in march of 2020. while sharif went into hiding during the backlash protesters burned down his family's home he was soon arrested and in august 2020 in august 2020 uh he was sentenced to death by hanging the high court of the state of kano uh ordered the sharia court to commence with a retrial citing sharif's lack of legal representation sharif's lawyer then filed an appeal to be tried in a secular court and challenged the constitutionality of the blasphemy law itself uh judge abu bakr mazu lamidu said the recent challenge was quote more out of sentiment and not backed by the law agreeing to a retrial but keeping the case in sharia court kano state attorney general and justice commissioner musa abdullahi lawan called the decision a victory for kano citizens referring to the state in nigeria that enforces sharia law so this is really important to cover for a couple of reasons one we have been following the case of uh yahya sharif for many years because like we were reporting on when this first happened to him when he was sentenced to death all this stuff and so this is one a very important update on a persecuted alleged blasphemer and two i had been following the story because there were you know reportings about how they were going to try to contest the constitutionality of these laws itself within nigeria which is huge and this is the result of it unfortunately they were upheld now like what was reported they talk about how the um contention to the constitutionality of it was more on the basis of like principle and sentiment perhaps their case was not well grounded in the foundations of nigerian law itself like they you can make a principled argument that isn't actually like upheld by legal precedent right and that seems to have been the case here um and i i'm it's just really unfortunate um i think this is a huge setback and these laws in nigeria do need to be completely overturned because there's this weird like parallel legal system that happens a customary law where if you're muslim you're subject to one system of law if you're christian you're subject to another system of law and which is just completely unfair like you're a different law your the standards that you're held to are completely different just on an accident of birth i can't stand that i mean it's against every international agreement of human rights that nigeria is a signatory to but here we are i just i don't know like am i missing something here like these are judges that study the law how could you and these are educated people and look at them they look serious right and [Laughter] and they come up with a statement am i like am i just like too naive to think like this sounds insane for somebody to say that sharia law does not contradict our secularism am i am i just like if these people like i i must be the most biggest idiot in the world to think that like if they these people have a point like sometimes people say something that just sounds so outrageous that i i question my own wisdom like maybe like maybe they they know something that i don't know like is this like insane is this insane or not insane like to you what do you guys think like no i agree on its face it doesn't make any frickin sense right but the only way that i can explain it is that there are probably legal precedents that led us to this point right and there's a historical reason why there kind of is this parallel legal system that basically developed in the in the 90s i believe like okay but it violates secularism still i understand like you were explaining how this comes where this comes from but saying that it doesn't violate there's secular okay maybe your country's secular constitution is just like yeah i don't know not very secular i mean i don't know how they definitely i think so this is okay i am no expert on nigeria's legal and penal code right but this is basically a basis of secularism in the form of um what's it called customary law which is similar to the basis of india's secularism basically like this idea of secularism being we are going to like enshrine what these religions are within the law and then everyone is entitled to their own religious practices but we have to come up with their own state definition of what these practices are like it's a very different and extremely flawed concept of secularism so flawed that it's not sincere at all yeah exactly like in india they have customary law which is where we get i mean you're executing people for blasphemy okay you can't be like oh like people are being executed for blasphemy are like oh yeah this doesn't violate their secular constitution like whatever way i mean or they're okay enshrined protection for the freedom of expression oh my god i mean okay i guess secularism has lost all this meaning if that's what you call second yeah okay i don't know maybe there's some legal definitions that make this make sense on a technical level right but on a principled level it makes no sense okay remind me to give a bonus to whoever on our team was responsible for this cover okay yes i did want to talk about this how means the prophet muhammad seated amidst all the judges like he's important yes this is pretty good actually like that the cover designer requires a bonus for this like all the judges are sitting here and one of them is that's pretty good um okay okay cool oh charles is bringing up a good point i can't highlight the comment on my phone he said i just looked up the nigerian constitution article 10 says this the government of the federation or of a state shall not adopt to any religion as a state religion well that doesn't make any sense based on how nigeria operates nowadays it literally makes no sense yeah so what does it mean to not have a state religion where you're executing laws that are religious like that's if that's and they say that this state has a right to execute that if the laws are based on religion how else would you establish a state religion than having laws that are religious anyways maybe you just officially say you just like don't ignore officially don't say it apparently they're not religious just nominally like we're just like we're just not going to say it so we're going to just do religious things but because we're not saying officially saying that it's a religion that's good enough for the constitution i don't know it makes no sense it makes no sense yeah i have some comments i hope that there is like some sort of case that comes forward that actually does present a really good structured argument on the basis of legal precedent that can challenges things because it's so direly needed in nigeria hey guys if you're a fan of blasphemy and sexy cali you

jbHPUJUO_1E | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbHPUJUO_1E | Irish War of Independence | Wikipedia audio article | the irish war of independence irish coca na seisha or anglo-irish war was a guerrilla war fought in ireland from 1919 to 1921 between the irish republican army ira the army of the irish republic and british forces the british army along with the quasi-military royal irish constabulary rick and its paramilitary forces the auxiliaries and ulster special constabulary usc it was an escalation of the irish revolutionary period into warfare in april 1916 irish republicans launched the easter rising against british rule and proclaimed an irish republic although it was crushed after a week of fighting the easter rising and the british response led to greater popular support for irish independence in the december 1918 election the republican party shin fen won a landslide victory in ireland on the 21st of january 1919 they formed a breakaway government doyle aaron and declared irish independence that day two rick officers were shot dead in the solihead beg ambush by ira volunteers acting on their own initiative the conflict developed gradually for much of 1919 ira activity involved capturing weaponry and freeing republican prisoners while the doyle set about building a state in september the british government outlawed the doyle and shin fan and the conflict intensified the ira began ambushing rick and british army patrols attacking their barracks and forcing isolated barracks to be abandoned the british government bolstered the rick with recruits from britain the blackened tans and auxiliaries who became notorious for ill discipline and reprisal attacks on civilians some of which were authorized by the british government thus the conflict is sometimes called the black and tan war the conflict also involved civil disobedience notably the refusal of irish railwaymen to transport british forces or military supplies in mid-1920 republicans won control of most county councils and british authority collapsed in most of the south and west forcing the british government to introduce emergency powers about 300 people had been killed by late 1920 but the conflict escalated in november on bloody sunday in dublin the 21st of november 1920 14 british intelligence operatives were assassinated in the morning then in the afternoon the rick opened fire on a crowd at a gaelic football match killing 14 civilians and winning 65. a week later 17 auxiliaries were killed by the ira in the calmical ambush in county cork the british government declared martial law in much of southern ireland the centre of cork city was burnt out by british forces in december 1920. violence continued to escalate over the next seven months when 1000 people were killed and 4 500 republicans were interned much of the fighting took place in munster particularly county cork dublin and belfast which together saw over 75 of the conflict deaths the conflict in northeast ulster had a sectarian aspect while the catholic minority there mostly backed irish independence the protestant majority were mostly unionist loyalist a special constabulary was formed made up mostly of protestants and loyalist paramilitaries were active they attacked catholics in reprisal for ira actions and in belfast a sectarian conflict raged in which almost 500 were killed most of them catholics in may 1921 ireland was partitioned under british law by the government of ireland act which created northern ireland both sides agreed to a ceasefire or truce on the 11th of july 1921. the post-ceasefire talks led to the signing of the anglo-irish treaty on the 6th of december 1921. this ended british rule in most of ireland and after a 10-month transitional period overseen by a provisional government the irish free state was created as a self-governing dominion on the 6th of december 1922. northern ireland remained within the united kingdom after the ceasefire violence in belfast and fighting in border areas of northern ireland continued and the ira launched a failed northern offensive in may 1922 in june 1922 disagreement among republicans over the anglo-irish treaty led to the 10-month irish civil war the irish free state awarded 62 868 medals for service during the war of independence of which 15 224 were issued to ira fighters of the flying columns topic origins of the conflict topic home rule crisis since the 1880s irish nationalists in the irish parliamentary party ipp have been demanding home rule or self-government from britain fringe organizations such as arthur griffiths shinfen instead argued for some form of irish independence but they were in a small minority the demand for home rule was eventually granted by the british government in 1912 immediately prompting a prolonged crisis within the united kingdom as ulster unionists formed an armed organization the ulster volunteers uvf to resist this measure of devolution at least in territory they could control in turn nationalists formed their own paramilitary organization the irish volunteers the british parliament passed the third home rule act on the 18th of september 1914 with an amending bill for the partition of ireland introduced by ulster unionist mps but the act's implementation was immediately postponed by the suspensory act 1914 due to the outbreak of the first world war in the previous month the majority of nationalists followed their ipp leaders and john redmond's call to support britain and the allied war effort in irish regiments of the new british army the intention being to ensure the commencement of home rule after the war but a significant minority of the irish volunteers opposed ireland's involvement in the war the volunteer movement split a majority leaving to form the national volunteers under redmond the remaining irish volunteers under owen mcneil held that they would maintain their organisation until home rule had been granted within this volunteer movement another faction led by the separatist irish republican brotherhood began to prepare for a revolt against british rule in ireland topic easter rising the plan for revolt was realized in the easter rising of 1916 in which the volunteers launched an insurrection whose aim was to end british rule the insurgents issued the proclamation of the irish republic proclaiming ireland's independence as a republic the rising in which over 400 people died was almost exclusively confined to dublin and was put down within a week but the british response executing the leaders of the insurrection and arresting thousands of nationalist activists galvanized support for the separatist shin fen the party which the republicans first adopted and then took over as well as followers from countess markovic the female lead of the easter rising by now support for the british war effort was on the wane and irish public opinion was shocked and outraged by some of the actions committed by british troops particularly the murder of francis sheehy skeffington and the imposition of wartime martial law topic first doyle in april 1918 the british cabinet in the face of the crisis caused by the german spring offensive attempted with a dual policy to simultaneously link the enactment of conscription into ireland with the implementation of home rule as outlined in the report of the irish convention of the 8th of april 1918. this further alienated irish nationalists and produced mass demonstrations during the conscription crisis of 1918. in the 1918 general election irish voters showed their disapproval of british policy by giving shin fen 70 73 seats out of 105 of irish seats 25 of these uncontested shinfern won 91 percent of the seats outside of ulster on 46.9 percent of votes cast but was in a minority in ulster where unionists were in a majority sin fan pledged not to sit in the uk parliament at westminster but rather to set up an irish parliament this parliament known as the first doyle and its ministry called the eric consisting only of shin fair members met at the mansion house on the 21st of january 1919. the doyle reaffirmed the 1916 proclamation with the irish declaration of independence and issued a message to the free nations of the world which stated that there was an existing state of war between ireland and england the irish volunteers were reconstituted as the irish republican army or ira the ira was perceived by some members of doyle aaron to have a mandate to wage war on the british dublin castle administration topic forces topic british the heart of british power in ireland was the dublin castle administration often known to the irishes the castle the head of the castle administration was the lord lieutenant to whom a chief secretary was responsible leading in the words of the british historian peter cottrell to an administration renowned for its incompetence and inefficiency ireland was divided into three military districts during the course of the war two british divisions the fifth and the sixth were based in ireland with their respective headquarters in the quran cork by july 1921 there were 50 000 british troops based in ireland by contrast there were 14 000 soldiers in metropolitan britain the two main police forces in ireland were the royal irish constabulary rick and the dublin metropolitan police of the 17 000 policemen in ireland 513 were killed by the ira between 1919 to 21 while 682 were wounded of the ric's senior offices 60 were irish protestants and rest catholic while 70 of the rank and file of the rick were irish catholic with the rest protestant the rick was trained for police work not war and was woefully ill-prepared to take on counter-insurgency duties until march 1920 london regarded the unrest in ireland as primarily an issue for the police and did not regard it as a war the purpose of the army was to back up the police during the course of the war about a quarter of ireland was put under martial law mostly in munster in the rest of the country british authority was not deemed sufficiently threatened to warrant it during the course of the war the british created two paramilitary police forces to supplement the work of the rick recruited mostly from world war one veterans namely the temporary constables better known as the black and tans and the temporary cadets or auxiliary division known as the aux topic irish republican on the 25th of november 1913 the irish volunteers were formed by owen mcneil in response to the paramilitary ulster volunteer force that had been founded earlier in the year to fight against home rule also in 1913 the irish citizen army was founded by the trade unionists and socialists james larkin and james connolly following a series of violent incidents between trade unionists and the dublin police in the dublin lockout in june 1914 nationalist leader john redmond forced the volunteers to give his nominees a majority on the ruling committee when in september 1914 redmond encouraged the volunteers to enlist in the british army a faction led by owen mcneill broke with the redmondites who became known as the national volunteers rather than fight for britain in the war many of the national volunteers did enlist and the majority of the men in the 16th irish division of the british army had formally served in the national volunteers the irish volunteers and the irish citizen army launched the easter rising against british rule in 1916 when an irish republic was proclaimed thereafter they became known as the irish republican army ira between 1919 and 1921 the ira claimed to have a total strength of 70 000 but only about 3 000 were actively engaged in fighting against the crown the ira distrusted those irishmen who had fought in the british army during the first world war but there were a number of exceptions such as emmett dalton tom barry and martin doyle the basic structure of the ira was the flying column which could number between 20 and 100 men finally michael collins created the squad gunman responsible to himself who were assigned special duties such as the assassination of policemen and suspected informers within the ira topic course of the war topic pre-war violence the years between the easter rising of 1916 and the beginning of the war of independence in 1919 were not bloodless thomas ashe one of the volunteer leaders imprisoned for his role in the 1916 rebellion died on hunger strike after attempted force-feeding in 1917. in 1918 during disturbances arising out of the anti-conscription campaign six civilians died in confrontations with the police and british army and over 1 000 were arrested armistice day was marked by severe rioting in dublin which left over 100 british soldiers injured there were also raids for arms by the volunteers at least one shooting of a royal irish constabulary brick policeman and the burning of and rick barracks in kerry in ko cork four rifles were seized from the iris barracks in march 1918 and men from the barracks were beaten that august in early july 1918 volunteers ambushed two rick men who had been stationed to stop a fresh being held on the road between balongiri and balivorni in the first armed attack on the rick since the easter rising one was shot in the neck the other beaten and police carbines and ammunition were seized patrols in bantry and balivorni were badly beaten in september and october the attacks brought a british military presence from the summer of 1918 which only briefly quelled the violence and an increase in police raids however there was as yet no coordinated arm campaign against british forces or rick topic initial hostilities while it was not clear in the beginning of 1919 that the doyle ever intended to gain independence by military means and war was not explicitly threatened in shin fans 1918 manifesto an incident occurred on the 21st of january 1919 the same day as the first doyle convened the solo head beg ambush in county to pereira was led by sean tracy sheamus robinson sean hogan and dan breen acting on their own initiative the ira attacked and shot two rick offices constables james mcdonnell and patrick o'connell who were escorting explosives breen later recalled we took the action deliberately having thought over the matter and talked it over between us tracy had stated to me that the only way of starting a war was to kill someone and we wanted to start a war so we intended to kill some of the police whom we looked upon as the foremost and most important branch of the enemy forces the only regret that we had following the ambush was that there were only two policemen in it instead of the six we had expected this is widely regarded as the beginning of the war of independence the british government declared south tipperary a special military area under the defence of the realm act two days later the war was not formally declared by the doyle and it ran its course parallel to the doyle's political life on the 10th of april 1919 the doyle was told as regards the republican prisoners we must always remember that this country is at war with england and so we must in a sense regard him as necessary casualties in the great fight in january 1921 two years after the war had started the doyle debated whether it was feasible to accept formerly a state of war that was being thrust on them or not and decided not to declare war then on the 11th of march doyle air and president damon de valera called for acceptance of a state of war with england the doyle voted unanimously to empower him to declare war whenever he saw fit but he did not formally do so topic violence spreads volunteers began to attack british government property carry out raids for arms and funds and target and kill prominent members of the british administration the first was resident magistrate john c milling who was shot dead in westport county mayo for having sent volunteers to prison for unlawful assembly and drilling they mimicked the successful tactics of the boar's fast violent raids without uniform although some republican leaders notably eamon de valera favored classic conventional warfare to legitimize the new republic in the eyes of the world the more practically experienced michael collins and the broader ira leadership opposed these tactics as they had led to the military debacle of 1916. others notably arthur griffith preferred a campaign of civil disobedience rather than armed struggle the violence used was at first deeply unpopular with irish people and it took the heavy-handed british response to popularize it among much of the population during the early part of the conflict roughly from 1919 to the middle of 1920 there was a relatively limited amount of violence much of the nationalist campaign involved popular mobilization and the creation of a republican state within a state in opposition to british rule british journalist robert linde wrote in the daily news in july 1920 that so far as the mass of people are concerned the policy of the day is not active but a passive policy their policy is not so much to attack the government as to ignore it and to build up a new government by its side topic royal irish constabulary rick as special target the ira's main target throughout the conflict was the mainly irish catholic royal irish constabulary rick the british government's police in ireland outside dublin its members and barracks especially the more isolated ones were vulnerable and they were a source of much-needed arms the rig numbered 9700 men stationed in 1 500 barracks throughout ireland a policy of ostracism of rickmen was announced by the doyle on the 11th of april 1919. this proved successful in demoralizing the force as the war went on as people turned their faces from a force increasingly compromised by association with british government repression the rate of resignation went up and recruitment in ireland dropped off dramatically often the rick were reduced to buying food at gunpoint as shops and other businesses refused to deal with them some rick men cooperated with the ira through fear or sympathy supplying the organization with valuable information by contrast with the effectiveness of the widespread public boycott of the police the military actions carried out by the ira against the rick at this time were relatively limited in 1919 11 rick men and four dublin metropolitan police g division detectives were killed and another 20 rick wounded other aspects of mass participation in the conflict included strikes by organised workers in opposition to the british presence in ireland in limerick in april 1919 a general strike was called by the limerick trades and labour council as a protest against the declaration of a special military area under the defense of the realm act which covered most of limerick city in a part of the county special permits to be issued by the rick would now be required to enter the city the trades council's special strike committee controlled the city for 14 days in an episode that is known as the limerick soviet similarly in may dublin dockers refused to handle any war material and was soon joined by the irish transport and general workers union who banned railway drivers from carrying members of the british forces blackleg train drivers were brought over from england after drivers refused to carry british troops the strike badly hampered british troop movements until december 1920 when it was called off the british government managed to bring the situation to an end when they threatened to withhold grants from the railway companies which would have meant that workers would no longer have been paid attacks by the ira also steadily increased and by early 1920 they were attacking isolated rick stations in rural areas causing them to be abandoned as the police retreated to the larger towns topic collapse of the british administration in early april 1920 400 abandoned rick barracks were burned to the ground to prevent them being used again along with almost 100 income tax officers the rick withdrew from much of the countryside leaving it in the hands of the ira in june to july 1920 as sizes failed all across the south and west of ireland trials by jury could not be held because jurors would not attend the collapse of the court system demoralized the rick and many police resigned or retired the irish republican police irp was founded between april and june 1920 under the authority of doyle aaron and the former ira chief of staff cahill brewer to replace the rick and to enforce the ruling of the doyle courts set up under the irish republic by 1920 the irp had a presence in 21 of ireland's 32 counties the doyle courts were generally socially conservative despite their revolutionary origins and halted the attempts of some landless farmers at redistribution of land from wealthier landowners to poorer farmers the inland revenue ceased to operate in most of ireland people were instead encouraged to subscribe to collins national loan set up to raise funds for the young government and its army by the end of the year the loan had reached 358 000 pounds it eventually reached 380 000 pounds an even larger amount totaling over 5 million was raised in the united states by irish americans and sent to ireland to finance the republic rates were still paid to local councils but 9 out of 11 of these were controlled by shin fen who naturally refused to pass them on to the british government by mid-1920 the irish republic was a reality in the lives of many people enforcing its own law maintaining its own armed forces and collecting its own taxes the british liberal journal the nation wrote in august 1920 that the central fact of the present situation in ireland is that the irish republic exists the british forces in trying to reassert their control over the country often resorted to arbitrary reprisals against republican activists and the civilian population an unofficial government policy of reprisals began in september 1919 in firmoy county cork when 200 british soldiers looted and burned the main businesses of the town after one of their number a soldier of the king's shropshite infantry who was the first british army death in the campaign had been killed in an armed raid by the local ira on a church parade the day before the 7th of september the ambushes were a unit of the number two court brigade under command of liam lynch who wounded four of the other soldiers and disarmed the rest before fleeing in their cars the local coroner's inquest refused to return a murder verdict over the soldier and local businessmen who had saturday on the jury were targeted in the reprisal arthur griffith estimated that in the first 18 months of the conflict british forces carried out 38 720 raids on private homes arrested 4982 suspects committed 1 604 armed assaults carried out 102 indiscriminate shootings and burnings in towns and villages and killed 77 people including women and children in march 1920 thomas mack curtin the shin fair lord mayor of cork was shot dead in front of his wife at his home by men with blackened faces who were seen returning to the local police barracks the jury at the inquest into his death returned a verdict of willful murder against david lloyd george the british prime minister and district inspector swansea among others swansea was later tracked down and killed in lisbon county antrim this pattern of killings and reprisals escalated in the second half of 1920 and in 1921 topic ira organization and operations michael collins was a driving force behind the independence movement nominally the minister of finance in the republic's government and ira director of intelligence he was involved in providing funds and arms to the ira units and in the selection of offices colin's charisma and organisational capability galvanized many who came in contact with him he established what proved an effective network of spies among sympathetic members of the dublin metropolitan police's dmp g-division and other important branches of the british administration the g-division men were a relatively small political division active in subverting the republican movement and were detested by the ira as often they were used to identify volunteers who would have been unknown to british soldiers or the later black and tans collins set up the squad a group of men whose sole duty was to seek out and kill g-men and other british spies and agents colin's squad began killing rick intelligence offices in july 1919. many g-men were offered a chance to resign or leave ireland by the ira one spy who escaped with his life was f digby hardy who was exposed by arthur griffith before an ira meeting which in fact consisted of irish and foreign journalists and then advised to take the next boat out of dublin the chief of staff of the ira was richard mulcahy who was responsible for organising and directing ira units around the country in theory both collins and mulcahy were responsible to kahul brewer the doyle's minister of defence but in practice brewer had only a supervisory role recommending or objecting to specific actions a great deal also depended on ira leaders in local areas such as liam lynch tom barry sean moylan sean mccowan and ernie o'malley who organised guerrilla activity largely on their own initiative for most of the conflict ira activity was concentrated in munster and dublin with only isolated active ira units elsewhere such as in county roscommon north county longford and western county mayo while the paper membership of the ira carried over from the irish volunteers was over 100 000 men michael collins estimated that only fifteen thousand were active in the ira during the course of the war with about three thousand on active service at any time there were also support organizations come and n a man the ira women's group and fianna aaron youth movement who carried weapons and intelligence for ira men and secured food and lodgings for them the ira benefited from the widespread help given to them by the general irish population who generally refused to pass information to the rick and the british military and who often provided safe houses and provisions to ira units on the run much of the ira's popularity arose from the excessive reaction of the british forces to ira activity when eamon de valera returned from the united states he demanded in the doyle that the ira desist from the ambushes and assassinations which were allowing the british to portray it as a terrorist group and to take on the british forces with conventional military methods the proposal was immediately dismissed topic martial law the british increased the use of force reluctant to deploy the regular british army into the country in greater numbers they set up two paramilitary police units to aid the rick the black and tans were 7 000 strong mainly ex-british soldiers demobilized after world war one deployed to ireland in march 1920. most came from english and scottish cities while officially they were part of the rick in reality they were a paramilitary force after their deployment in march 1920 they rapidly gained a reputation for drunkenness and ill discipline that did more harm to the british government's moral authority in ireland than any other group in response to ira actions in the summer of 1920 the tans burned and sacked numerous small towns throughout ireland including balbriggen trim temple more and others in july 1920 another quasi-military police body the auxiliaries consisting of 2215 former british army officers arrived in ireland the auxiliary division had a reputation just as bad as the tans for their mistreatment of the civilian population but tended to be more effective and more willing to take on the ira the policy of reprisals which involved public denunciation or denial and private approval was famously satirized by lord hugh cecil when he said it seems to be agreed that there is no such thing as reprisals but they are having a good effect on the 9th of august 1920 the british parliament passed the restoration of order in ireland act it replaced the trial by jury by courts martial by regulation for those areas where ira activity was prevalent on the 10th of december 1920 martial law was proclaimed in counties cork kerry limerick and tipperary in munster in january 1921 martial law was extended to the rest of munster in counties claire and waterford as well as counties kilkenny and wexford in leinster it also suspended all coroner's courts because of the large number of warrants served on members of the british forces and replaced them with military courts of inquiry the powers of military courts martial were extended to cover the whole population and were empowered to use the death penalty and internment without trial government payments to local governments in shinfern hands were suspended this act has been interpreted by historians as a choice by prime minister david lloyd george to put down the rebellion in ireland rather than negotiate with the republican leadership as a result violence escalated steadily from that summer and sharply after november 1920 until july 1921. it was in this period that a mutiny broke out among the connaught rangers stationed in india two were killed whilst trying to storm an armory and one was later executed topic escalation october to december 1920 a number of events dramatically escalated the conflict in late 1920. first the lord mayor of cork terence mcswiney died on hunger strike in brixton prison in london in october while two other ira prisoners on hunger strike joe murphy and michael fitzgerald died in cork jail then on the 21st of november 1920 there was a day of dramatic bloodshed in dublin in the early morning collins squad attempted to wipe out the leading british intelligence operatives in the capital the squad shot 19 people killing 14 and wounding five these consisted of british army offices police officers and civilians the dead included members of the cairo gang and a court's martial officer and were killed at different places around dublin in response rick men drove in trucks into croak park dublin's gaa football and hurling ground during a football match shooting into the crowd fourteen civilians were killed including one of the players michael hogan and a further 65 people were wounded later that day two republican prisoners dick mckee peter clancy and an unassociated friend conor cloone who had been arrested with them were killed in dublin castle the official account was that the three men were shot while trying to escape which was rejected by irish nationalists who were certain the men had been tortured then murdered this day became known as bloody sunday on the 28th of november 1920 only a week after bloody sunday in dublin the west cork unit of the ira under tom barry ambushed a patrol of auxiliaries at call michael in county cork killing all but one of the eighteen man patrol these actions marked a significant escalation of the conflict in response counties cork kerry limerick and tipperary all in the province of munster were put under martial law on the 10th of december under the restoration of order in ireland act this was followed on the 5th of january in the rest of munster and in counties kilkenny and wexford in the province of leinster shortly afterwards in january 1921 official reprisals were sanctioned by the british and they began with the burning of seven houses in middleton in cork on the 11th of december the centre of cork city was burnt out by the black and tans who then shot at firefighters trying to tackle the blaze in reprisal for an ira ambush in the city on the 11th of december 1920 which killed one auxiliary and wounded 11 attempts at a truce in december 1920 were scuppered by hama greenwood who insisted on a surrender of ira weapons first topic peak of violence december 1920 to july 1921 during the following eight months until the truce of july 1921 there was a spiraling of the death toll in the conflict with 1 000 people including the rick police army ira volunteers and civilians being killed in the months between january and july 1921 alone this represents about 70 of the total casualties for the entire three-year conflict in addition 4 500 ira personnel or suspected sympathisers were interned in this time in the middle of this violence de valera as president of doyle aaron acknowledged the state of war with britain in march 1921 between the 1st of november 1920 and the 7th of june 1921 24 men were executed by the british the first ira volunteer to be executed was kevin barry one of the forgotten 10 who were buried in unmarked graves in unconsecrated ground inside mount joy prison until 2001. on the 1st of february the first execution under martial law of an ironman took place cornelius murphy of mill street corp was shot in cork city on the 28th of february six more were executed again in cork on the 19th of march 1921 tom barry's 100-strong west cork ira unit fought an action against 200 british troops the cross barry ambush barry's men narrowly avoided being trapped by converging british columns and inflicted between 10 and 30 killed on the british side just two days later on the 21st of march the kerrie ira attacked a train at the hedford junction near kalani 20 british soldiers were killed or injured as well as two ira men and three civilians most of the actions in the war were on a smaller scale than this but the ira did have other significant victories in ambushes for example at mill street in cork and at scramogen roscommon also in march 1921 and at formicadian carroll kennedy in mayo in may and june equally common however were failed ambushes the worst of which for example at moon abbey upton and klong multi-cork in february 1921 saw 6-3 and 12 ira men killed respectively and more captured the ira in mayo suffered a comparable reverse at kilmina while the litrum flying column was almost wiped out at selton hill fears of informers after such failed ambushes often led to a spate of irish shootings of informers real and imagined the biggest single loss for the ira however came in dublin on the 25th of may 1921 several hundred ira men from the dublin brigade occupied and burned the custom house the centre of local government in ireland in dublin city centre symbolically this was intended to show that british rule in ireland was untenable however from a military point of view it was a heavy defeat in which five ira men were killed and over 80 captured this showed the ira was not well enough equipped or trained to take on british forces in a conventional manner however it did not as is sometimes claimed crippled the ira in dublin the dublin brigade carried out 107 attacks in the city in may and 93 in june showing a fall-off in activity but not a dramatic one however by july 1921 most ira units were chronically short of both weapons and ammunition with over 3000 prisoners interned also for all their effectiveness at guerilla warfare they had as richard mulcahy recalled as yet not been able to drive the enemy out of anything but a fairly good-sized police barracks still many military historians have concluded that the ira fought a largely successful and lethal guerrilla war which forced the british government to conclude that the ira could not be defeated militarily the failure of the british efforts to put down the guerrillas was illustrated by the events of black whitson on 13-15 may 1921 a general election for the parliament of southern ireland was held on the 13th of may shin fan won 124 of the new parliament's 128 seats unopposed but its elected members refused to take their seats under the terms of the government of ireland act 1920 the parliament of southern ireland was therefore dissolved and executive and legislative authority over southern ireland was effectively transferred to the lord lieutenant assisted by crown appointees over the next two days 14-15 may the ira killed 15 policemen these events mark the complete failure of the british coalition government's irish policy both the failure to enforce a settlement without negotiating with shin fen and a failure to defeat the ira by the time of the truce however many republican leaders including michael collins were convinced that if the war went on for much longer there was a chance that the ira campaign as it was then organized could be brought to a standstill because of this plans were drawn up to bring the war to england the ira did take the campaign to the streets of glasgow it was decided that key economic targets such as the liverpool docks would be bombed the units charged with these missions would more easily evade capture because england was not under and british public opinion was unlikely to accept martial law these plans were abandoned because of the truce topic truce july to december 1921 the war of independence in ireland ended with a truce on the 11th of july 1921 the conflict had reached a stalemate talks that had looked promising the previous year had petered out in december when david lloyd george insisted that the ira first surrender their arms fresh talks after the prime minister had come under pressure from h.h asquith and the liberal opposition the labour party and the trades union congress resumed in the spring and resulted in the truce from the point of view of the british government it appeared as if the iras guerrilla campaign would continue indefinitely with spiraling costs in british casualties and in money more importantly the british government was facing severe criticism at home and abroad for the actions of british forces in ireland on the 6th of june 1921 the british made the first conciliatory gesture calling off the policy of house burnings as reprisals on the other side ira leaders and in particular michael collins felt that the ira as it was then organized could not continue indefinitely it had been hard-pressed by the deployment of more regular british soldiers to ireland and by the lack of arms and ammunition the initial breakthrough that led to the truce was credited to three people king george v prime minister of south africa general john smuts and prime minister of the united kingdom david lloyd george the king who had made his unhappiness at the behaviour of the black and tans in ireland well known to his government was dissatisfied with the official speech prepared for him for the opening of the new parliament of northern ireland created as a result of the partition of ireland smutz a close friend of the king suggested to him that the opportunity should be used to make an appeal for conciliation in ireland the king asked him to draft his ideas on paper smutz prepared this draft and gave copies to the king and to lloyd george lloyd george then invited smuts to attend a british cabinet meeting consultations on the interesting proposals lloyd george had received without either man informing the cabinet that smutz had been their author faced with the endorsement of them by smuts the king and the prime minister ministers reluctantly agreed to the king's planned reconciliation in ireland speech the speech when delivered in belfast on the 22nd of june was universally well received it called on all irishmen to pause to stretch out the hand of forbearance and conciliation to forgive and to forget and to join in making for the land they love a new era of peace contentment and goodwill on the 24th of june 1921 the british coalition government's cabinet decided to propose talks with the leader of shin fen coalition liberals and unionists agreed that an offer to negotiate would strengthen the government's position if shin fen refused austin chamberlain the new leader of the unionist party said that the king's speech ought to be followed up as a last attempt at peace before we go the full lengths of martial law seizing the momentum lloyd george wrote to eamon de valera as the chosen leader of the great majority in southern ireland on the 24th of june suggesting a conference shin fan responded by agreeing to talks de valera and lloyd george ultimately agreed to a truce that was intended to end the fighting and lay the ground for detailed negotiations its terms were signed on the 9th of july and came into effect on the 11th of july negotiations on a settlement however were delayed for some months as the british government insisted that the ira first decommission its weapons but this demand was eventually dropped it was agreed that british troops would remain confined to their barracks most ira offices on the ground interpreted the truce merely as a temporary respite and continued recruiting and training volunteers nor did attacks on the rick or british army cease altogether between december 1921 and february of the next year there were 80 recorded attacks by the ira on the soon to be disbanded rick leaving 12 dead on the 18th of february 1922 ernie o'malley's ira unit raided the rick barracks at plonmell taking 40 policemen prisoner and seizing over 600 weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition in april 1922 in the dunman way killings an ira party in court killed 10 local suspected protestant informers in retaliation for the shooting of one of their men those killed were named in captured british files as informers before the truth signed the previous july over 100 protestant families fled the area after the killings the continuing resistance of many ira leaders was one of the main factors in the outbreak of the irish civil war as they refused to accept the anglo-irish treaty that michael collins and arthur griffith had negotiated with the british topic treaty ultimately the peace talks led to the negotiation of the anglo-irish treaty the 6th of december 1921 which was then ratified in triplicate by deuteron on the 7th of january 1922 so giving it legal legitimacy under the governmental system of the irish republic by the house of commons of southern ireland in january 1922 so giving it constitutional legitimacy according to british theory of who was the legal government in ireland and by both houses of the british parliament the treaty allowed northern ireland which had been created by the government of ireland act 1920 to opt out of the free state if it wished which it duly did on the 8th of december 1922 under the procedures laid down as agreed an irish boundary commission was then created to decide on the precise location of the border of the free state and northern ireland the republican negotiators understood that the commission would redraw the border according to local nationalist or unionist majorities since the 1920 local elections in ireland had resulted in outright nationalist majorities in county furmana county tyrone the city of derry and in many district electoral divisions of county arma and county londonderry all north and west of the interim border this might well have left northern ireland unviable however the commission chose to leave the border unchanged as a trade-off the money owed to britain by the free state under the treaty was not demanded a new system of government was created for the new irish free state though for the first year two governments co-existed and eric's answerable to the doyle and headed by president griffith and a provisional government nominally answerable to the house of commons of southern ireland and appointed by the lord lieutenant most of the irish independence movement's leaders were willing to accept this compromise at least for the time being though many militant republicans were not a majority of the pre-true sira who had fought in the war of independence led by liam lynch refused to accept the treaty and in march 1922 repudiated the authority of the doyle and the new free state government which it accused of betraying the ideal of the irish republic it also broke the oath of allegiance to the irish republic which the doyle had instated on the 20th of august 1919. the anti-treaty ira was supported by the former president of the republic eamon de valera and ministers cahill brewer and austin stack while the violence in the north was still raging the south of ireland was preoccupied with the split in the doyle and in the ira over the treaty in april 1922 an executive of ira officers repudiated the treaty and the authority of the provisional government which had been set up to administer it these republicans held that the doyle did not have the right to disestablish the irish republic a hard-line group of anti-treaty ira men occupied several public buildings in dublin in an effort to bring down the treaty and restart the war with the british there were a number of armed confrontations between pro and anti-treaty troops before matters came to a head in late june 1922 desperate to get the new irish free state off the ground and under british pressure michael collins attacked the anti-treaty militants in dublin causing fighting to break out around the country the subsequent irish civil war lasted until mid-1923 and cost the lives of many of the leaders of the independence movement notably the head of the provisional government michael collins ex-minister cahill brewer and anti-treaty republicans harry bowland rory o'connor liam mellows liam lynch and many others total casualties have never been determined but were perhaps higher than those in the earlier fighting against the british president arthur griffith also died of a cerebral hemorrhage during the conflict following the deaths of griffith and collins w.t cosgrave became head of government on the 6th of december 1922 following the coming into legal existence of the irish free state wt cosgrave became president of the executive council the first internationally recognised head of an independent irish government the civil war ended in mid-1 923 in defeat for the anti-treaty side topic north east in the government of ireland act 1920 enacted in december 1920 the british government attempted to solve the conflict by creating two home rule parliaments in ireland northern ireland and southern ireland while doyle aaron ignored this deeming the irish republic to be already in existence unionists in the north east accepted it and prepared to form their own government in this part of ireland which was predominantly protestant and unionist there was as a result a very different pattern of violence from the rest of the country whereas in the south and west the conflict was between the ira and british forces in the northeast and particularly in belfast it often developed into a cycle of sectarian killings between catholics who were largely nationalist and protestants who were mostly unionist summer 1920 while ira attacks were less common in the northeast than elsewhere the unionist community saw itself as being besieged by armed catholic nationalists who seem to have taken over the rest of ireland as a result they retaliated against the northern catholic community as a whole such action was largely condoned by the unionist leadership and abetted by state forces james craig for instance wrote in 1920 the loyalist rank and file have determined to take action they now feel the situation is so desperate that unless the government will take immediate action it may be advisable for them to see what steps can be taken towards a system of organized reprisals against the rebels the first cycle of attacks and reprisals broke out in the summer of 1920. on the 19th of june a week of intersectarian rioting and sniping started in derry resulting in 18 deaths on the 17th of july 1920 a british colonel gerald smith was assassinated by the ira in the county club in cork city in response to a speech that was made to police officers of listowel who had refused orders to move into the more urban areas in which he stated you may make mistakes occasionally and innocent persons may be shot but that cannot be helped no policeman will get in trouble for shooting any man smith came from banbridge county down in the northeast and his killing provoked retaliation there against catholics in banbridge and dramaal on the 21st of july 1920 partly in response to the killing of smith and partly because of competition over jobs due to the high unemployment rate loyalists marched on the harland and wolf shipyards in belfast and forced over 7000 catholic and left-wing protestant workers from the jobs sectarian rioting broke out in response in belfast and derry resulting in about 40 deaths and many catholics and protestants being expelled from their homes on the 22nd of august 1920 rick detective swansea was shot dead by corkira men while leaving church in lisbon county antrim swansea had been blamed by an inquest jury for the killing of court mayor thomas mack curtin in revenge local loyalists burned catholic residential areas of lisbon destroying over 300 homes while several people were later prosecuted for the burnings no attempt seems to have been made to halt the attacks at the time michael collins acting on a suggestion by sean mcentee organised a boycott of belfast goods in response to the attacks on the catholic community the doyle approved a partial boycott on the 6th of august and a more complete one was implemented by the end of 1920 topic spring 1921 after a lull in violence in the north over the new year killings there intensified again in the spring of 1921. the northern ira units came under pressure from the leadership in dublin to step up attacks in line with the rest of the country predictably this unleashed loyalist reprisals against catholics for example in april 1921 the ira in belfast shot dead two auxiliaries in donegal place in belfast city centre the same night two catholics were killed on the falls road on the 10th of july 1921 the ira ambushed british forces in raglan street in belfast in the following week 16 catholics were killed and 216 catholic homes burned in reprisal events known as belfast bloody sunday killings on the loyalist side were largely carried out by the ulster volunteer force uvf allegedly with the aid of the rick and especially the auxiliary police force the ulster special constabulary or b specials the special constabulary set up in september 1920 was largely recruited from ulster volunteer force and orange lodges and in the words of historian michael hopkinson amounted to an officially approved uvf in may james craig came to dublin to meet the british lord lieutenant of ireland lord fitzallen and was smuggled by the ira through dublin to meet eamon de valera the two leaders discussed the possibility of a truce in ulster and an amnesty for prisoners craig proposed a compromise settlement based on the government of ireland act 1920 with limited independence for the south and autonomy for the north within a home rule context however the talks came to nothing and violence in the north continued topic july 1921 to may 1922 while the fighting in the south was largely ended by the truce on the 11th of july 1921 in the north killings continued and actually escalated until the summer of 1922. in belfast 16 people were killed in the two days after the truce alone the violence in the city took place in bursts as attacks on both catholics and protestants were rapidly followed by reprisals on the other community in this way 20 people died in street fighting and assassinations in north and west belfast over the 29th of august to the 1st of september 1921 and another 30 from 21 to 25 november loyalists had by this time taken to firing and throwing bombs randomly into catholic areas and the ira responded by bombing trams which took protestant workers to their places of employment moreover despite the doyle's acceptance of the anglo-irish treaty in january 1922 which confirmed the future existence of northern ireland there were clashes between the ira and british forces along the new border from early 1922. in part this reflected michael collins view that the treaty was a tactical move or stepping stone rather than a final settlement a number of ira men were arrested in derry when they travelled there as part of the monahan gaelic football team in retaliation michael collins had 42 loyalists taken hostage in ferminar and tyrone right after this incident a group of b specials were confronted by an ira unit at clones in southern territory who demanded that they surrender the ira unit's leader was shot dead and a gun battle broke out in which four special constables were killed the withdrawal of british troops from ireland was temporarily suspended as a result of this event despite the setting up of a border commission to mediate between the two sides in late february the ira raided three british barracks along the border in march all of these actions provoked retaliatory killings in belfast in the two days after the furmana kidnappings 30 people lost their lives in the city including four catholic children and two women who were killed by a loyalist bomb on weaver street in march 60 died in belfast including six members of the catholic mcmahon family who were targeted for assassination by members of the special constabulary in revenge for the ira killing of two policemen c mcmahon murders in april another 30 people died in the northern capital including another so-called uniform attack the arnon street massacre when six catholics were killed by uniformed policemen winston churchill arranged a meeting between collins and james craig on the 21st of january 1922 and the southern boycott of belfast goods was lifted but then reimposed after several weeks the two leaders had several further meetings but despite a joint declaration that peace is declared on the 30th of march the violence continued topic mater june 1922 in may and june 1922 collins launched a guerrilla ira offensive against northern ireland by this time the ira was split over the anglo-irish treaty but both pro and anti-treaty units were involved in the operation some of the arms sent by the british to arm the new irish army were in fact given to ira units and their weapons sent to the north however the offensive launched with a series of ira attacks in the north on 17-19 may ultimately proved a failure an ira belfast brigade report in late may concluded that continuing the offensive was futile and foolish dot the only result of the attack was to place the catholic population at the mercy of the specials on the 22nd of may after the assassination of west belfast unionist mp william twiddle 350 ira men were arrested in belfast crippling its organization there the largest single clash came in june when british troops used artillery to dislodge an ira unit from the village of petigo killing seven wounding six and taking four prisoners this was the last major confrontation between the ira and british forces in the period 1919-1922 the cycle of sectarian atrocities against civilians however continued into june 1922 may saw 75 people killed in belfast and another 30 died there in june several thousand catholics fled the violence and sought refuge in glasgow and dublin on the 17th of june in revenge for the killing of two catholics by the b specials frank achenzira unit shot 10 protestant civilians killing six in and around altnave south arma three special constables were also killed in the shootings michael collins held the british field marshal sir henry wilson by then mp for north down responsible for the attacks on catholics in the north and may have been behind his assassination in june 1922 though who ordered the shooting is unproven the event helped to trigger the irish civil war winston churchill insisted after the killing that collins take action against the anti-treaty ira whom he assumed to be responsible the outbreak of the civil war in the south ended the violence in the north as the war demoralized the ira in the northeast and distracted the attention of the rest of the organization from the question of partition after colin's death in august 1922 the new irish free state quietly ended collins policy of covet-armed action in northern ireland the violence in the north fizzled out by late 1922 the last reported killing of the conflict in what was now northern ireland took place on the 5th of october topic detention during the 1920s the vessel hms argenta was used as a military base and prisonship for the holding of irish republicans by the british government as part of their internment strategy after bloody sunday ploisted below decks in cages which held 50 internees the prisoners were forced to use broken toilets which overflowed frequently into the communal area deprived of tables the already weakened men ate off the floor frequently succumbing to disease and illness as a result there were several hunger strikes including a major strike involving upwards of 150 men in the winter of 1923 by february 1923 under the 1922 special powers act the british were detaining 263 men on argenta which was moored in belfast lock this was supplemented with internment at other land-based sites such as land workhouse belfast prison and derry jail together both the ship and the workhouse alone held 542 men without trial at the highest internment population level during june 1923 topic propaganda war another feature of the war was the use of propaganda by both sides in the summer of 1921 a series of articles appeared in a london magazine entitled ireland under the new terror living under martial law while purporting to be an impartial account of the situation in ireland it portrayed the ira in a very unfavorable light when compared with the british forces in reality the author ernest doudle was an auxiliary in the series was one of many articles planted by the dublin castle propaganda department established in august 1920 to influence public opinion in a britain increasingly dismayed at the behaviour of its security forces in ireland the british government also collected material on the liaison between shinfen and soviet russia in an unsuccessful attempt to portray shin fan as a crypto communist movement the catholic church hierarchy was critical of the violence of both sides but especially that of the ira continuing a long tradition of condemning militant republicanism the bishop of kilmore dr finnegan said any war to be just and lawful must be backed by a well-grounded hope of success what hope of success have you against the mighty forces of the british empire none none whatever and if it unlawful as it is every life taken in pursuance of it is murder thomas gilmartin the archbishop of tomb issued a letter saying that ira men who took part in ambushes have broken the truce of god they have incurred the guilt of murder however in may 1921 pope benedict xv dismayed the british government when he issued a letter that exhorted the english as well as irish to calmly consider some means of mutual agreement as they had been pushing for a condemnation of the rebellion they declared that his comments put hmg his majesty's government and the irish murder gang on a footing of equality desmond fitzgerald and erskine childers were active in producing the irish bulletin which detailed government atrocities which irish and british newspapers were unwilling or unable to cover it was printed secretly and distributed throughout ireland and to international press agencies and u.s european and sympathetic british politicians while the military war made most of ireland ungovernable from early 1920 it did not actually remove british forces from any part but the success of sinn fein's propaganda campaign reduced the option of the british government to deepen the conflict it worried in particular about the effect on british relations with the u.s where groups like the american committee for relief in ireland had so many eminent members the british cabinet had not sought the war that had developed since 1919. by 1921 one of its members winston churchill reflected what was the alternative it was to plunge one small corner of the empire into an iron repression which could not be carried out without an admixture of murder and counter murder only national self-preservation could have excused such a policy and no reasonable man could allege that self-preservation was involved topic casualties the total number killed in the guerrilla war of 1919-21 between republicans and british forces in what became the irish free state came to over 1400 of these 363 were police personnel 261 were from the regular british army about 550 were ira volunteers including 24 official executions and about 200 were civilians some other sources give higher figures on the 21st of november 1921 the british army held a memorial service for its dead of all ranks of which it counted 162 up to the 1921 truce and 18 killed afterwards a number of these are buried in the grange gorman military cemetery.557 people died in political violence in what would become northern ireland between july 1920 and july 1922. this death toll is usually counted separately from the southern casualties as many of these deaths took place after the 11th of july truce that ended fighting in the rest of ireland of these deaths between 303 and 340 were catholic civilians 35 were ira men between 172 and 196 were protestant civilians and 82 were british forces personnel 38 were rick and 44 were ulster special constables the majority of the violence took place in belfast 452 people were killed their 267 catholics and 185 protestants irish nationalists have argued that this northern violence represented a pogrom against their community as 58 percent of the victims were catholics even though catholics were only around 35 percent of the population historian of the period alan parkinson has suggested that the term pogrom is unhelpful and misleading in explaining the events of the period as the violence was not state-directed or one-sided similarly in recent decades attention has been drawn to the ira's shooting of civilian informers in the south several historians notably peter hart have alleged that those killed in this manner were often simply considered enemies rather than being proven informers especially vulnerable it is argued were protestants ex-soldiers and tramps it was not merely or even mainly a matter of espionage spies and spy hunters it was a civil war between and within communities particularly controversial in this regard has been the dunman way killings of april 1922 when 10 protestants were killed and three disappeared over two nights hart's contentions have been challenged by a number of historians notably niall meehan and maida ryan topic post-war evacuation of british forces by october 1921 the british army in ireland numbered 57 000 men along with 14 200 rick police and some 2 600 auxiliaries and blackened tans the long-planned evacuation from dozens of barracks in what the army called southern ireland started on the 12th of january 1922 following the ratification of the treaty and took nearly a year organized by general neville mccready it was a huge logistical operation but within the month dublin castle and beggars bush barracks were transferred to the provisional government the rick last paraded on the 4th of april and was formally disbanded on the 31st of august by the end of may the remaining forces were concentrated in dublin cork and coldair tensions that led to the irish civil war were evident by then an evacuation was suspended by november about 6 600 soldiers remained in dublin at 17 locations finally on the 17th of december 1922 the royal barracks now housing collections of the national museum of ireland was transferred to general richard mulcahy and the garrison embarked at dublin port that evening topic compensation in may 1922 the british government with the agreement of the irish provisional government established a commission chaired by lord shaw of dunfermline to examine compensation claims for material damage caused between the 21st of january 1919 and the 11th of july 1921. the irish free state's damage to property compensation act 1923 provided that only the shaw commission and not the criminal injury acts could be used to claim compensation originally the british government paid claims from unionists and the irish government those from nationalists claims from neutral parties were shared after the 1925 collapse of the irish boundary commission the uk free state and northern ireland governments negotiated revisions to the 1921 treaty the free state stopped contributing to the servicing of the uk national debt but took over full responsibility for compensation for war damage with the fund increased by 10 in 1926. the compensation ireland commission worked until march 1926 processing thousands of claims topic role of women in the war although largely overshadowed by the men that took part in the conflict women played a substantial role in the irish war of independence prior to the easter rising of 1916 many nationalist women were brought together through organizations that fought for women's suffrage in ireland such as the irish women's franchise league founded by hannah sheehy skeffington and margaret cousins in 1908 many irish suffragettes although in favor of irish independence were wary of joining right-wing nationalist groups out of fear that they would be used to obtain irish independence but not be accorded the right to vote however because the irish republican and socialist leader james connolly's irish citizen army promoted equality between men and women many irish suffragettes including constance markovic madeleine fenchmalin and kathleen lin joined the movement and it created unification among suffragettes socialists and nationalists in 1914 the primary female nationalist group that would fight in the war of independence cummin n a man was launched as an affiliate of the irish volunteers during the easter rising of 1916 common n a man members participated in combat alongside the men the women acted as dispatch carriers travelling between irish volunteer posts while being shot at by british forces after the defeat of the irish rebel forces and the execution of james connolly and patrick pierce eamon de valera opposed the participation of women in combat and thus women were downgraded to subtleton roles nevertheless many women refused to give up fighting and they played an active role in the war of independence during the conflict women hid nationalist fighters being sought by the british nursed injured fighters and gathered money to assist prisoners captured by the british in addition nationalist women engaged in undercover work to set back the british war effort nationalist women smuggled guns ammunition and money to the ira such as kathleen clarke who in her autobiography reported smuggling 2000 pounds of gold from limerick city to dublin for ira leader michael collins because they sheltered wanted rebels many women were subject to raids on their homes by british soldiers with acts of sexual violence sometimes being reported but not confirmed it is estimated that there were between three thousand and nine thousand members of cummin n a man during the war and in 1921 there were 800 branches located throughout the island by the end of the war it is estimated that less than 50 women were imprisoned by the british topic memorial a memorial called the garden of remembrance was erected in dublin in 1966 on the 50th anniversary of the easter rising the date of signing of the truce is commemorated by the national day of commemoration when all those irish men and women who fought in wars in specific armies eg the irish units fighting in the british army in 1916 at the battle of the somme are commemorated the last survivor of the conflict dan keating of the

bvWe5TLgWyc | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvWe5TLgWyc | City Council Committee on Community Resources 2/27/18 (with Retail Marijuana Forum) | [Applause] [Music] so I'm gonna call the pain where this is the community's resources in February 27th meeting um we are being audio and video recording and yeah good well Karen counselor climb she will be late Brett and we are gonna start with public comment if you're here for the public forum on retail marijuana feel free to wait till five when that will be but if you're here on another matter please come up in Spencer West Avenue what brought me here Super Bowl attend to have an email today you tell what was going on at this meeting included I'm drawing of the paths some of the paths that my village so for the next days and I was very pleased to see that the paths that are being included there are part of us it really makes for a really wonderful loop that you can take it that yeah walking trails knows it basically wanted to so commend the people who decided to keep those paths active and thanks thank you take care then we approve the minutes from our previous meeting January 29th is there a motion to approve the minutes all those in favor and then the only thing on our agenda before we have our forum at 5:00 is the order to accept an easement at village Hill order 1800 are you if you need it I mean yeah okay you have any question okay so in City Council February 1st 2018 upon recommendation of office of planning sustainability eighteen point zero three zero order of second easement village built order that we're at as an app development such the community builders now hospital LLC received a special permit through the master plan and redevelopment of the former captain State Hospital permit originally needed seven that September night went to them in to the subsequent amendments whereas the special permit identify areas for permanent open space protection and public access to and through the open space from the developed portions of the property for the purpose of providing not only ridiculous s from the city to the project area and across the private area north-south and east-west rise each development project at the reformer in our Hampton state hospital has included various links that created a connected network of pedestrian and bicycle trails from through the project whereas the City Council has accepted the other various sections of these pedestrian and bicycle links where as Kenneth P coins section ain't received a permit for the subdivision of the land and stated approval on May 10th 2016 included the offer of all the public access easements for the development and influence with the original special permit granted for redevelopment with another Hampton State Hospital to ride or south east west connection substantially showing on the attached map he ordered that the City Council accepts the Easons as shown and authorized emeritus by the public action sequence in order for them to do look pretty currently a register of these positive resolution yes yes um so discussion I would only well this is pretty much it that my understanding is all of these details are already in place up at village Hill and this is really just formally accepting those the trails that were discussed and all of that correct yeah I mean the paths north of the laws or certainly have historically been there for decades overgrown to some extent but the idea in the original special permit created in 2003 was that there would be a continuous north-south connection and east-west across and then these but as the developments came forward and sort of fit into the existing network of trails they had to be massaged a little bit or connected to in some way so this this permit formalized that connection and require certain improvements on a portion of them and then of course this piece of it is making it public you know publicly accessible through a permanent easement which hasn't wasn't ever there before I was just sort of they were just known to pass that people can use but they were really public so the peak are the trails right the pink part yeah the wider one on the left is actually a wider easement wider than the actual trail and that is because the crates in that area do not are not consistent or are not accessible and inaccessible typical MassDOT standards for a trail so at some point in the future if the city can get grant money to create a more serpentine connection that would meet a requirement then we have a wide enough swath in which to do that but right now the trail is just straight and much narrower than that way and otherwise there isn't really much there aren't many improvements to make the other bits accessible that they already are or they were created acceptable as part only I suggest we refer to committees so that folks in village Hill would have a chance to just be sure they do it was happening I didn't expect any particular controversy but I did hear from one other relational resident that they were really happy to see this moving forward and realized there was a mechanism in place to make these paths permanently publicly available so it is nice to see this phase of it is a stage of completion but so for the discussion of all those in favor of a positive affirmation okay that moves forward or is there any other new business no okay it's not that what we are going to do is actually recess until topic for public forum recreational retail marijuana sales for difficult to begin in July I will go around in beacon beings before but I'm dealing Shara and the work for counselor in the chair I'm Dennis big world war two counselor the vice chair of the committee to Nash for three city councilor so thinking I'm just gonna talk really briefly because we have a lot to cover I sort of did so presently the cannabis Control Commission is on their second day of three days of policy deliberation on amendments to their draft regulations that they released back in December yesterday they voted to postpone licensing of home delivery services and social consumption locations I don't know what was discussed today the final regulation must be released by March 15th applications for licenses may be submitted starting April 1st we're going to begin our forum today with three brief presentations from groups in our community from our attempt and Board of Health and they'll be followed by New England treatment access Netta Howe speak to their experience implementing medical marijuana regulations and and then the Northampton prevention coalition and strategic planning initiative for families and youth skippy coalition Plaza had a presentation then we'll open it up to public comment no one I don't that our committee will not be deliberating on the zoning ordinances or the Local Option tax that are before the council they were not referred to this committee and they're not on our agenda directly after a public forum there will be the legislative matters meeting and they will be taking up the floor zoning ordinances and that starts at 7:00 the local option tax will be deliberated in the Finance Committee which means within the City Council meeting so that's 7 o'clock this Thursday March 1st this is more of a general forum on this new retail industry you're welcome to comment on any aspect that you like but I just want to explain that we won't be delivering on those four proposals order before the council if there's time to have some discussion after everyone's had a chance to speak we will try and do that we'll be listening all your questions and concerns and and we'll be noting them I encourage you to go to the other go to the zoning conversation at 7:00 to go to Council and and talk up those meetings to explain your your matter and I'm going to ask that you try to keep your comments to three minutes hopefully we'll about everyone to speak before we have to adjourn at 7:00 if we can't get to everyone I'm gonna try I will stand for legislative matters and we'll listen to hopefully be able to hear your opinion there you can always email us your thoughts as well and as always we ask for civility and respect to all participants although you may say what you like about us because we're public figures we will start with our first presentation - see I'm doing Lebanon that charity Burbage helps in Rockhampton and I just want to say that with marijuana being a new business we have the opportunity to sort of get it right from cigarettes which were everywhere and have to be sort of reeled and over so I just want to make my comments in two sections the first section is something that I think you said you didn't want to address it but as the city councilor the other city councilors are here that the issues around zoning I think are urgent because they have to be submitted by gonna be done by April 1st so if there are zoning issues which I did not see listed in their current zoning proposals and some of these to move on these and that's the question about caps on the number of establishments I know because we're a city that had a majority of people who wanted marijuana be legalized we have a certain number of establishments I think our number of transactions are read a certain percentage of alcohol establishments but I think we have the Liberty to decide that we don't want 10 pot shops on Main Street one day one and I think the Prevention Coalition and spiffy will talk a little bit more about the data that they know about density for example around alcohol establishments I'm not as well-versed and that's all be fed to them but I think we do have the option to limit the number of institutions or the density and I think those are zoning issues where their time is of the essence and then the second category of things I want to talk about or about things that were either not addressed by the CCC direct regulations or things that we as a city might decide we want to have control over and one thing that the cccc said is that in all retail shops and someone had to be 21 to enter that's great but there was use of that a multi-use shop a mixed-use establishment they called it and it's not clear to me what that is and they were not clear at all that people had to be 21 and over in order to go in so is that a it's not going to be a far because they don't allow the selling alcohol but we're gonna be in your restaurant would it be a t-shirt shop but if your toy store I mean is there some limit on what it could be and we do I think want to make sure that that's establishment another issue that they did not address is mobile units my understanding is we do not allow food trucks downtown I do we want to allow pot trucks for an issue such as the rear County Fair or other issues that happen at the fairgrounds there's lots of food trucks they heard we want a truck well if it's someone come up to the truck with their three-year-old in hand and you know how how do we control sort of exposure to you I think if the three County Fair there's a building where you have to have show your license to get in and then you can drink alcohol so we would want to have something more controlled like that Republicans more sense to me do we want to have a way to have special permit in expanded on Joe do you want to have a pot truck well you have a way to do that another thing that we'd like to see included is Board of Health approved education at every point of sale people about safe storage of their pot and driving while under the influence we want to make sure people know our local rules and regs maybe we'll have tourists to make sure educate and people have make sure they do use their policy and issue that I think is less obvious that I feel pretty strongly about is about public smoking and many of you are not old enough to remember this but when I was young cigarettes were everywhere they were on primetime TV people smoking Johnny Carson they were on billboards as from our borrows they were airports there's smoke these smokey places and so it's been 50 or 60 years of the public and lots of money to try and try to clean up and denormalize smoking and we have non smoking in bars and restaurants and in public places and the very inner city parks and that's not enforced currently but I think there needs to be a discussion about whether we will permit public smoking a pot because when someone's smoking really tell what it is they're smoking these are not allowed cigarettes but allow pot I think normalization of smoking is not a good public health policy and so these are issues it sounds to me like we need a city ordinance to catch up on the things that the CCC did not did not include or that we want to have no control over and I don't know how to go about starting that but I do offer to you the assistance of our director of Health Leary and there's also a lawyer who works for the boards of health which is a lawyer at the Massachusetts Association of health boards and the HP very very smart well-versed in how to write this language and what public health recommendations so our goal is to offer adult abuse marijuana in our city safely a few visitors not changing or or disturbing the character of our downtown and whatever helps so I'm Leslie Laurie and many of you know me as the founder and CEO of tapestry house protocol for 40 years but for the last three years I really met up and during patient services and over those three years I think we brought really cutting-edge Public Health to your asset so as with the tradition of tapestry I couldn't be more delighted with what Matt has brought to the city so what I'm going to do is be that brief tonight spoking than the other and what I'm going to do is to introduce two people to my direct left is Amanda roasted time and Amanda is our director of operational compliance she also was the former chief of staff for representative smizing and Amanda was the one who really created all of our policies and procedures and why we have run such an effective Public Health Service and to my real left is in Napoli and Tim is an attorney and she's the director of diversity with Metta and she was honored to be selected to be on the advisory board to the ccc so she'll be able to let you know firsthand in a sense what's happening there so I let my patreon stay away thank you good afternoon again I need some a derasa turn on others director of operational compliance I been with Metta from almost the beginning and help to develop the way that we operate how we do business our policies and procedures I was asked to speak a little bit about the implementation of the medical marijuana regulations here in Northampton and through our net facility so just to give you a little bit of background the medical marijuana program was established as a result of a ballot question 3 in 2012 and Northampton you know I believe the number was about 75% of the president supported that and as you know now has largely supported legalization as well through that ballot initiative was the draft about with the regulations 105 cm arm 75 which we are subject to today those regulations are really at the core of how we operate as a business so Nevin was actually among the first group of dispensaries advocates in Massachusetts and we are proud to say that we've received the highest application score in that product process from all of the fully approved first group we're a mission-based organization we work to improve the health and well-being of Massachusetts registered medical marijuana patients we are serving approximately 11,000 Oh a little over 11,000 unique patients at Northampton each year but really isn't really a stereotype when it comes to the medical marijuana patient our patients are very diverse in age and race and ethnicity and occupation medical conditions our youngest patient is just four years old in Northampton our oldest patient is 98 I believe our oldest patient in our Brookline location is 102 so you know we really see a very wide range of Ages the average age of our patients is 48 and as it's just been a really remarkable experience to see how many people and how many different conditions we've been able to help by our services and our products art our team is comprised of a very diverse group of individuals that bring really unique experience and perspective for our organization and we have Leslie Laurie here who as you all know is really a pioneer and public health in Western Mass and really beyond one of our founders was one of the first century operators in Colorado and and of the Colorado Industry Association our other founder comes from the business world and really brings a breadth of business development experience that has allowed us to operate it in a way that has been very professional comprehensive collaborative you know we also have expertise in government public policy science technology so you know it's sort of that diversity of our team that allows us sort of the expertise to do what we do the way that we do it we met in Rockhampton was actually the second dispensary that was licensed in massachusetts second to open we were proud to have the mayor and she could celebrate that occasion with us and really we're proud of the reputation and the relationships that we've built with the community all of our products are grown or meant grown and manufactured and frankly mass our cultivation facility and we also have a dispenser in Brookline Massachusetts so we are through a facility organization we produce over a hundred and thirty treatment options and our state-of-the-art facility in Franklin that facility houses a full commercial kitchen as well as some of the most innovative techniques in product development we are proud to say that we do have the the most innovative products in the industry right now and part of the reason is because we have a whole research and development arm of our organization molecular infusions which is really focusing on some advanced product developments to really sort of tailor to the metal we currently employ about 300 employees and about 60 of those employers are here in Northampton and we are cultivating a very broad variety of strains and products to be able to help patients with a variety of different conditions so you know we make products such as tinctures and lotions and capsules that really allow for different types of preferences for different people and different conditions and then we have Medicare's which is our philanthropic philanthropic arm of Netta and really this is expanding on our mission of improving what's making a difference here in Massachusetts through the netting hairs initiatives our staff and our team are able to participate and advocate for a number of different important significant causes we're really proud of some of the work that we've be able to been able to do with organizations here in western mass and in Northampton and actually Leslie has a handout here that highlights some of that work that we've done that she's going to pass around so just briefly you know in terms of implementation through the state licensing process we were we work very closely with the city as you probably are aware to really ensure a smooth rollout and to make sure that any concerns that people had were or appropriately addressed you know we continue to those relationships and and our ears continue to collaborate with the time the the next phase of our organization we pride ourselves on our organizational values of operational components responsibilities in doing the right thing is really sort of before how we make decisions at meta operational compliance being number one as Leslie mentioned as those medical marijuana regulations were promulgated I was responsible for crafting a set of comprehensive policies and procedures essentially you know to look at those regulations instead of how are we going to make sure that we have you know every single detail of how we're going to do things to make sure that we're always remaining compliant with these regulations really the core of the regulation system is about safety and security safety and security of patients of staff you know the general public at large so these are our most important Tonetta and we don't spare any expense when it comes to security our facility includes our on-site security staff very comprehensive entry procedures only patients are authorized to enter our facility at this point in time very extensive surveillance coverage you know we've been able to work with the police departments and municipalities that we work in to provide surveillance when it's necessary of things that happen outside of our facilities if we're able to catch that on camera specifically that's been a case in Brooklyn or the police department has been able to rely on our surveillance to solve all their crimes which we've been happy to help with education is really at the core of what we do at Mehta we are making sure that our staff is it's very well trained in order to be able to provide the right type of education to the patients that we serve education around safe storage education around proper dosing education around responsible use different modalities different types and strains of cannabis that might benefit the patient and that education process is a continual process with our staff and patients that we serve and also the people in the community product quality is is really central to what we are doing and really about point of close oversight by our regulators all of our products are produced in-house in Franklin and it has to pass extensive third-party independent lab testing prior to being sold to attending patients so those that testing insurance that those products are free from any contaminants that could be otherwise bound we work very very closely with the Department of Public Health you know we see them as a partner it through this program and we are subject to regular unannounced inspections at all of our facilities you're through these inspections you know we've really established a solid track record of compliance we think that the you know the department has been very pleased with with our operation and really often relies on us for input in terms of you know how to make the program even it already is you know that that was reflected in a recent change to the regulation the Medical Marijuana wanted regulations that resulted from a lot of input from dispensaries including that asked how to make these regulations even stronger than they already are I don't want to take up too much time to wrap up you know we're really very proud of what we've been able to accomplish here in Northampton we really look forward to continuing to work closely with the town as the recreational process rolls out you know just like we did with medical we want to make sure that we're partnering with you to address any concerns as that program is implemented so briefly I'll turn to Kim to just talk a little bit about those new recreational regulations and we're happy to answer any questions [Music] as my colleague mentioned I am McKenzie board member in addition to being the director of mercy programs at going with treatment access in my role as an advisory board member I've had direct opportunity to work with the CCC and other advisory board members to come up with recommendations for the regulations when you thought you smart get so as pertains to meta and going forward that it does intend to convert to a adult youths establishment as well as making its medical status as far as the regulatory lay of the land the DPH currently has oversight over the regulations that address or impedes the CCC is scheduled to or at least must must by the end of December of this year subsumed the PHS role and take over the medical regulations it's likely that they will assume to what regulations are already existing for for dispensaries but they may actually alter them to some degree regardless of what they choose to do what they they may take something's where they may add other things that intents should be as compliance has been and continue to be a leader in the market miss respect with the with regard to the lack of certainty and clarity on some things that the lady from the Board of Health mentioned that you know we don't intend to engage in social consumption or home delivery etc so those things are not on our radar we can be helpful in offering any expertise available to us as we do have members from Colorado where these things are also slated to happen you know it's it's there really is a lot Mike as far as adult use goes however Aneta always intends to seat you to its its mission statement and to be a compliance partner and a leader in the industry the patients have always come first for us and will continue to come first we will always have a reserve you know it's important for her patients need access regardless of what the law says if they anything that the regulation said as far as the way the dispensaries are set to operate will be before for us and we will endeavour to continue doing more and as we always have there's any questions you have about the regulatory process as is or as it unfolds you can feel free contact directly or any one of us if you have ice if you work in tandem we can use our presentation just cuz we have visual my name is I'm the coordinator which is a small subsidies Prevention Coalition focused on delaying and reducing teen news rates for the city of Northampton I also have Caitlyn Johnson or you think agent coordinator and care our director do I have the ability to dance yes bass okay so I'm gonna get into some things that we're hoping to see more Hampton about to just help reduce the exposure but I always like the strap hopefully people can be this but the reason we care has all to do about youth development I really been pleased been seeing how the CCC has really distinguish the difference between the adult use and youth use because for us like we are living in a community where people have forgotten what we wanted to vote this in so this sale is going to come so as we're seeing it unfold as the public health official mentioned early we just want to see it done right from the start so that for one like even for business considerations as to expect to jump through hoops later and for youth and just enforcement it will make it easier to across the board parent is youth and also communicate with them clearly why we don't want them using and policies in place that will help reduce embers so anyhow brain develops until about the age of 25 a lot of research has shown that addictions primarily a mental disease you know so this is the age where they're most likely to develop an addiction if they're exposed to things young and we've seen an increase over the years of the teachers of marijuana which before is pretty much Nina's more benign drug that you don't younger agents addiction is addiction the other reason that we care of course is just academic success alcohol and are one in both impacts rates for students especially if their abusers today more than five so what I'm gonna go over well heaven has a lot more information so I'm also gonna be particular to be quick for her that case maybe you do so what I want to go over briefly is we do what's called the prevention needs assessment every two years and spiffy actually orchestrate citizenship County Northampton what we do is we go in and we survey eighth tenth and twelfth graders as JFK Northampton High School and Smith vocational high school for tonight's presentation I didn't include Smith vocational so we're just looking at Northampton NJ and we surveyed 470 students it's an opt-in it's an opt-out process of the students are given the surveys and there's a lot of things within the survey that collect information about substance use but also success or stuff like that so what you're looking at here is we have two measures of substance use we have lifetime use like have you ever tried something and then we have what's called 30-day substances which is how we write here what's called like regular use or a regular user and so as you can see there's a lot of heavy hitters up here but there's always two front covers and it's alcohol in marijuana cigarettes have dropped down significantly which is great but we're keeping an eye on baking because that seems to be a placement and what I wanted to point out on this slide is that this is the first time probably in the last 10 years that marijuana use rates have gotten as close used to always be the alcohol was the front-runner and I think there was some speculation that women marijuana became more socially acceptable that made me see alcohol rates dropped and marijuana would increase as a like an alternative but 13 so they just are like cool now there's TV use so not to minimize the impact there we go oops can I go back right-click doesn't do it could somebody go back for me Buju its to shoot that and one more awesome thank you so much all right I just wanted to let people know what students are reporting right now so we look at trend data for everything that we surveyed whether its description drugs are all opioids and so since we're talking about marijuana tonight I just wanted to showcase what we seen so Ukraine happens in about 2008 in 2016 what we've seen and this is you know in light of prevention efforts and education policies and all sorts of things that we try to work at but we have seen little uptick and the senior class it's the one that were most concerned about which time to make sense seniors have a lot more freedom they see themselves as it don't see the mother not 21 so we're looking at policies for the city around sales we're kind of looking at that age group in particular but what we've seen is that there's little updates every time less substance becomes a little bit acceptable in our community so we've been tracking our the other thing that we look at it's how students are consuming marijuana when we ask this question 10 years ago is mostly smoking but now there's it's just a lot easier to get information through YouTube and all sorts of other things on different ways that you can consume it and one of the concerns we have with these different consumption that has to do with a concentration of THC so especially like when we look at developmental brain diseases and stuff like that there's a heightened risk if you're getting exposed to much higher concentrations of THC so the majority of students are still smoking it there's a growing number that are eating it very few were drinking it vaping is a growing thing and my daddy which is that's one of the more highly concentrated forms for the new Tyler and stuff like that is growing popularity as well and this is for 38 years the other thing that we notice in public this is not special just marijuana is just any substance exact when the perception of farm drops like when students like students are risk takers to a certain extent but they're not suicidal so when a drug becomes more seen as less harmful what we see is that you straight slim crease and so if you look at 2017 in particular for our senior class the news rates you know 23% when asked like do you think that there's great harm in using marijuana only 23% think that's true and the corresponding use drugs is now up to fifty nine point eight percent so I just wanted to point out that that's one of the things that we're looking at how to educate the site we don't want to demonize a drug but we also don't want to make it seeks of harmless I think it's okay for them to use so the last thing I want to get into it just in policy we don't have a lot of research on marijuana because not that many establishments right now but what we do have is things like on density and tobacco by the regulations and stuff like that so the things that we've seen have helped in those industries are caffeine outlet density like oh you bad girl and alcohol repellers a folding state workplace safety laws regarding public smoking you make the law is enforceable I think the public health representative had mentioned that it is kind of hard in the city to make about signage up but I think what we rely on a lot is just for social reasons of norming around is not a sin and as far as like exposure and making the enforcement have teeth get invoice Apocrypha which adjusts are very very very quick to pick up on and then the other thing I am this was the best we've come up with in this time that was but for outlet density I just did a quick Google search so I didn't have to drown the paper and it brought up like a whole host of like sites that just have different you know research articles on how outlet density affects not only you can use rates but other social things like what are you propria to provision and stuff like that and then to the right is a list of all the different organizations that are in support about defensive so right now public smoking and consumption is not about a perfect campus control Commission's regulations but right now in Northampton currently and enforcing that regulation like I remember when I had a conversation with Jody Casper she was saying that right now look for underage possession make incite them and give them a ticket but there's really no agency that's able to enforce it or oversees it so she said there's some do-gooders that go ahead and paint a ticket but for the most part they just made possibly no way to do it and so from the teens perspective they're like well they say I'm not supposed to do it but nobody doing anything about it so we wanted to see if we could avoid that with these retail sales and local control allowing enforcement is encouraged to reduce needed closure and their culture use the last I think this is my last name so the CCC regulations are really clear about this adult economy which were polio supported the one area that seemed a little bit squirrely was obviously medical sales with exception eating it over that but for the mix you shops like I'm not sure what to expect for that and so senti exposure doesn't increase like their perception that it's like okay thing to do even if you talk to them nauseam about how it's not it would be great if we could maybe prevent things like record shops having pot ability or anything that would kind of create a culture where it's really attractive to them and maybe making a little but just a fine line between making a subversive and attractive and also just really really clear that this is something mission to do this is just a quick slide showing what our priorities are based on what students use so when we survey we basically focus most of our efforts on the heavy-hitting substances of her youth it so he's been alcohol marijuana and prescription drugs are various targets our students family school at the bottom are just various being programming that we put in place to try to send the type of and this is just all the different ways that you can follow us we love having a fan base like substance abuse is not the sexiest of professions and it's nice to have people on our side and I'm going to let Heather take over from here thank you for your time hi so my name is heather warner and i coordinate the 50 polish and we're very similar to Northampton prevention coalition except that we're countywide and we do collect data throughout the county we survey over 3,000 students every two years and we've been doing so for the past like I don't know 10 10 plus years so we have some pretty interesting trend data we asked a lot of questions about marijuana and I have a two-page handout that shows some of the data we asked for example in addition to what Anandi shared questions about you know what are some of the problems of experience from your marijuana use which about 40% of students say they have coughing and breathing problems we also asked about you know doing poorly at school and some other things let's see so we collect data we we work with all sectors of the community and we create a culture where kids are supported to make healthy choices that's a right up skip that one anyway well no that's okay we use a strategic prevention framework when we do all of our you know which means that we use evidence-based practices we collect data we build coalitions we engage in a planning you know a formal planning process so that we know that we're actually implementing things in the community that makes sense and that will actually address some of the problems and draw on the resources and assets in our community and then we revisit that all the time because everything changing and the other thing that I had up there was a public health framework for visual marijuana and that was developed by the Department of Public Health in Colorado and theirs is a similar approach they talk about assessment but they also talk about policy development and enforcement and assurance as they call it which is you know ensuring a competent work force and evaluating an adjustment community believes so I'd also like the Board of Health I actually started in public health at the Holyoke Board of Health and I was think Tobacco Control director there in nineteen ninety something and I we were I actually wrote the tobacco regulations for the city and we were the first city in the state to have smoke-free restaurants and it was you know it was an interesting time and you know and of course of the Board of Health members this was new to them they they weren't really sure that tobacco regulation was something that fell under their you know control and they were worried about businesses in Holyoke in a poor community but I mean if we kind of see how far we've come with that and how you know we can educate young people and adults up and down and up and down but until we create a policy that shifts the norm you know we don't see such good results and so again you know with Amit with alcohol in Massachusetts we do a pretty good job a lot of people say that the marijuana bill is regulated like alcohol I disagree we with the marijuana law though we don't have a three-tier system that separates you know the manufacturer from the wholesale to the retail we don't have local control at licensing we don't have caps on the number of licenses permitted per capita the alcohol you know State alcohol regulations require that only six forms of state approved ID are accepted and it's kind of important for the Massachusetts has a very strong identification card that's hard to duplicate but so far at least in the regulations from the CCC any federal federally approved ideas accepted which is a real departure from that and and I think a threat to youth access because we know that new high quality faced are attainable and also there's no pricing controls as yet marijuana has there are four alcohol so I think the fact that this is not really regulated intriguing alcohol that there isn't that little control it's kind of it's all the more reason why at the local level we need to pay attention we need to be looking at this and understanding the you know what's in this bill and what what's to come and what we can do to gain back as much local control as you can you know again like the border so let's get it right from the start in fact California has a website called getting it right from the start and they've done a lot of webinars that are available on that site and they have some really interesting ideas about equity and social justice and it's a it's you know really interesting things I mean eight how keep moving so some of the ways that we can get it right boring from here so some of the public health goals that we have in mind that would prevent youth fair use of marijuana you know we collect baseline data in States looking at that too we build social-emotional skills of young people through evidence-based health curriculum Northampton high school uses the all-stars program we try to delay the age of initiation the longer you can delay the less likely someone will become a habitual user or a problem user we want to educate about the risks to youth development to brain development and like Anandi was saying you know not have people bleeding it's completely risk-free especially for youth and having effective policies that reduce access both retail and social we haven't done a great job with that with alcohol we are hard pressed to penalize people for providing alcohol to we want to live an exposure to adult use and limit exposure to products marketing and advertising and one of the ways this can be done is through minimizing the caps you know the number of places that we have especially in a downtown area where families may be congregating and also the density and I'll talk a little bit more about that one aid and also then enforcement how do we how do we effectively of course some of the rules that we put in place and so taking a quick look at what our other communities doing Amherst has put a cap at eight retailers they added zoning restrictions to include libraries pharmacies and other places they've created a 300 foot buffer from the K to 12 schools and they've adopted their smoke-free public use language as a bylaw of the town not just placing it in the Board of Health and this allows the more teeth if the by want to have more teeth then can be enforced more effectively in addition they added to that language no public consumption of edibles and we know that it's obviously hard to control for these things just like open container without the hollower you know no smoking in a park but we also know that when the rule is there many people abide by it and it becomes a cultural norm so let's say East Hampton has proposed a cap at 9:00 at the latest information I got last night and they're looking at limiting it to four for the first year so they have a graduated thing their buffer and now at 350 feet and they also imposed a buffer of 200 feet between retail outlets as the in the most likely path of a pedestrian so I mean that sort of talks to the density issue also so that you don't have like a pot row on Main Street or something and I know this isn't for zoning but it's like things that I feel like the general public like may want to hear about you know they also looked at hours of operation and South Hadley at their town hall meeting voted to approve a November ballot to potentially ban marijuana altogether and they've had in many other zoning clauses grafton which presented it a see statewide things I know about them they have some zoning and special permitting actually average has special permitting too and that's one way that what through zoning permits and through special permits we can potentially regain a little bit more control because right now if a if a retail establishment is in violation of you know repeated offenses of serving to minors or you know something like that we don't really have any control over that at the local level we can report it to the state and hope that something happens there but the on the ground eyes and you know whatever of enforcers and we don't even know actually whether local authorities can enforce or do compliance checks of underage fans at this point so that still to find out but for any violation it's like it's good to have some of that local control over the permit and other towns are also having a lot of working groups that have formed one person before all of this work and public forums that started a long time no fire to Northampton so I guess I encourage our city by city to go slow and get it right for everyone I think the mistakes that we can make from the onset are also potentially consul for the retailer's we don't need to have them come in only to later just have not thought it through and say we don't really want that to happen and I'm sorry that you wasted this much money investing in this type of shop when that's not what we're going to accept in this community you know again the reason we need that public input we need political transparency how our decisions being made to regulate or not regulate in this community there haven't been a lot of proposals yet that I've seen from other communities I think we need to consider public health implications for all decisions that are being made and include public health professionals in the decision-making process and we need to do what we can before April 1st because that's when what applications go in and they're going to assume that any retail space is available for a pop shop unless we say otherwise in our community so there are a few very specific things that Northampton could do as well this is my last slide so we we should assert that local controller possible we can also dedicate finding from the revenue for drug prevention education and enforcement we can look at caps and density special permits and strong host agreements advertising restrictions we can look at regulation for public use home bro safety and odor nuisance bylaws and again we can adopt that ordinance for public use we also may want to have rules about paraphernalia ORS are called in the CCC regulations accessories I don't know what shops we want those to be you know or whether there's some way that we can regulate how those are distributed or sold and then setting up enforcement systems you know like anonymous said how do we how do we effectively enforce some of this stuff that hasn't been been effectively enforced too deep I'm also available about my copy of the regulations that I go through and I have all our data and I'd love to just be resourcing as this process unfolds thank you okay thank you everyone this so we're going to begin public comment I don't know people signed up for public comment if not that's fine just raise their no once I know people who raise their hands I will call on you again we have a lot of people here and have to adjourn before 7:00 so if you can try and keep it to three minutes there's a timer I would appreciate it so who would like to speak please state your name and your address so my fans will cheat I live in Florence on 15th Lester Drive I have a reservoir Kevin for 12 years I'm a mother of two teenagers and also the head of the dispensary of many more Hampton I just wanted to mention and say how proud I am of being part of this organization having navigated these waters for teenagers that's already been a priority of mine to make sure that they're safe and that they're educated on what this mechanism does currently we are so medical and to me that's been a really amazing journey I have about the Commission this is how I got introduced to marijuana in the first place this has really changed my life I've been able to come up opioids at some of the many years and my children saw that journey they saw what happened between they saw the difference in mom when mom started using marijuana I've had this discussion with my kids and they were small we've had no trouble with it at my house to do that I've been very open with them it's a core priority of not just met up also mind to be absolutely certain that youth access is as arted as we possibly have I don't believe that marijuana is appropriate for young younger children I don't think a great tire they don't believe that that's something that they should have right now part of my job is to make sure that nobody can access we are the only treatment access without their ID and also their medical card I've worked with parents of small children I've worked with parents of teenagers and also have their carts to make sure that their children are getting safe access to the medicine that they need I've seen the result of using this with seizure disorder I've seen the result of using it with anxiety for a teenager it's been a pretty remarkable thing in the correct dispensing area so using it for a medicinal purpose has been really remarkable I'm proud of meta product they were handling things I'm proud of the way that we're moving forward towards adult use my job right now is to ensure that it's done as compliantly as possible I follow the direction of these women right here who helped me lead this team I have a team of 60 people that I leave every day to make sure that their edge you know what they're talking about and giving safe access to their own patients it's it's vital and another that you can continue to leave this and make sure that our patients are cared for it even even an adult usin as we go forward and I just want a family about it what we do I'm happy to answer any questions I love the more confidence and really a welcoming environment and I'm committed to making sure that the youth is protected against whatever is coming next good evening i'm cynthia slokas either the 120 close around the world and I'm also a member of the Board of Health and I want to thank you all this subcommittee or the entire City Council for taking the very first step as we move toward implementing this exciting time in Northampton I want to highlight dr. Lebon our chair of the Board of Health comments I think we had an opportunity to distinguish ourselves in the Commonwealth by building a series of policies and practices and processes that reflect many different progressiveness of our community but also our focus that will continue to have for years on health and safety so I think this opportunity is something that we can really take and if I were sitting where you're sitting I would be feeling like oh my god how are you going to do this so I commend you I have a couple of things to consider very briefly once again the number of cannabis establishments that we are going to allow commit in our community and where they're going to be it's a great opportunity for us to have that discussion secondly how are we going to address the recreational use in public and we're just putting in something about edibles but how are we going to do it we don't have to copy immersed I teach at UMass so I think eight establishments at UMass Amherst that's gonna be interesting who will be responsible for enforcement and how we're going to do it I mean this is really really pretty tricky and then finally how are we going to educate and involve our businesses our citizens our kids and on the impact of cannabis use and misuse I think we have opportunity and so again thank you very very much for holding this forum so that we can hear everything could be me they just took Evans I'm a lawyer captain I was a sheriff before campaign and I've been supporting the organization normalization for a long time a couple of miscellaneous points first of all one of the speaker's pointed out that we that the cities and towns have no control over the industry and and what often hears the term is the new industry I pointed out that it's not really a new industry it's a very open feeling red has been leaving it to the black market we are imposing regulations and controls on this new market that's what's new about marijuana it's the way to control it not to marijuana so all the the initiative that was passed by the voters and legislation last summer expressly it poses a lot of authority on the part of citizens town control industry in fact it grants the municipalities the authority to regulate the time place and manner of marijuana license marijuana operations and that's a very big very broad grant of authority to suggest that the cities and towns have no control this is simply false I heard the term evidence-based a lot and I support the notion of evidence-based and I urge this committee as you consider the revised zoning laws to look at the hard evidence what is in fact the hard evidence as to the impact of legal marijuana on the public health public safety and the character of the community I suggest that you'll find very little if you look at the experience of Colorado in Oregon and the other states has been this and most especially if you look at the I think it's now 20 or so municipalities in Massachusetts that have Medical dispensaries I know that some of the folks in East Hampton reached out to a number of those cities and asked them directly what has been your experience with with Medical Marijuana what's been the impact on the public health and public safety is character community they got no negative responses back so if you've not done that I suggest that something this committee may wish to do let me mention too that we're considering zoning laws here zoning laws are laws that regulate our use of land we're not here to litigate the relitigate the question of whether marijuana should be legal the voters have spoken on that subject we're here today to talk about how Northampton zoning laws shouldn't be revised if at all to protect public health Public Safety and the character of the community with regard to the cannabis Commerce there will be as one of the speaker's mentioned the merger of medical marijuana and non medical marijuana that will occur this year when the CCC takes over the supervision of the medical program and its entirety and I would urge this committee approaches but but I know a lot Sydney towns that have medical marijuana loss they're repealing them in their entirety and replacing them with General Laws of the government both medical and medical and I think the concept of medical marijuana's gonna be obsolete in a couple of years it was it was new several years ago non-medical for medical we're not going to need that part in a few years when it's all murders and I would strongly urge you not to incorporate the term recreational into the bylaw that's that's slang it's a conversational language but there's the term recreational doesn't appear in the statute nor does appear in them the CCC regulations and so I would urge you not to adopt that that urn yes yes and let me just mention to that that with regard to actual regulation of marijuana establishments the heavy lifting is being handled by the CCC itself there is not a responsibility post on upon the sent but you do have the right exercise further control not only through your zoning but also through the host agreement which should cover all the bases so I applaud you for taking this EPS I heard you two fold this new industry into our existing Maestri even on Commerce in this community I must thank you my name is Larry Lewis Allen I live at 46 comedy and I just wanted to refer back to something Heather said about and then something that attorney heavens referred to which is that yes community control but if communities don't take that control then they want so I think Heather's saying do something don't just wait for the regulations from the canvas control commission do what's in your power to do to minimize the potential harm to youth because the more common something is the more young people are feeling it's something they can do and I think that all Anandi and Heather are talking about is trying to mitigate the possibility that young people will start feeling like it isn't harmful if they start feeling like it isn't harmful they'll start using and it is damaging to the so I hope that our City Council and can do something because I feel like the mayor kind of like threw up his hands and doesn't want to do anything [Music] that's really kiss me No okay well if you change your mind they'll freedom let me know that actually leaves us with a good amount of print so wealth of knowledge here in this yeah so I heard a number of people talk about safe storage I've heard it a concern from the prevention folks and I've heard about how that is of the people at the who go to Netta are also counseled on how to do that and I'm wondering if the the two sides have had a conversation around how it actually looks because I don't know what that is you know that you know I picture what a you know a gun safe looks like or a liquor cabinet you know or or even a medicine cabinet it has some sort of lock on it so I would encourage that some sort of conversation about that and in terms of educating people storage I had a question for the folks at meta which will have to do with how do you um because you're you're going to move to retail how do you envision that things are going to change in the way that you're doing business currently and you know what you know on July 1st what will look different does somebody want to speak to that I think it's really important for people to hear that beyond its kind of what you write what Netta is hoping to do is to actually open on July 1st if the regulations that the CCC provides are ones that we feel are reasonable and so far that's the case the kind of education that we do a handbook that we give to every one individual counseling that we provide we expect that to be the same the only difference that we see is if there's adult use that individual will pay if the city goes through with what we are also supportive of is a 3% tax the difference will be that of a tax for those who are adult use and those who are medical will continue to get their medicine without attacks the education the careful security that we provide and the third-party laboratory testing of all of our products continue and I think that's anyone sir I would add to supplement Leslie practically there will be no difference it's the same standard of business that we've come come accustomed to that you would have come to expect from us we'll continue on that very bright line difference being are you 21 years of age or older and buying with the sales tax or are you a patient we plan to educate our patients or customers the same way as we always have so really there should be no difference whatsoever just that our UK attacks are you not just one do you anticipate like a rush of the casino I think realistically that depends on how many locations open up statewide there going to be other places that are licensed and able to dispense on day one and what is the appetite for folks here to come in and purchase canvas over the counter so but yes I would expect there to be more more business and we'll certainly plan for that we have some apps on our website that will tell you whether there's a line or not you know again you have that patient supply that we're guaranteeing so patients won't be affected but we plan to do everything we can to prepare and in advance of the sale date to have enough product to support the demand as best we can and when we open medically we work very very closely with the chief of police and the police force to ensure that because it was the same thing with medical we had lines and there were no issues in terms of Public Safety and just to the point on safe storage you know a very important aspect of the rate of the regulations both the medical and the recreational is the requirement that all products leave the dispensary in a childproof container that know that these packages do not resemble commercially available candy products so there are a lot of you know elements built into the regulations around you know safe storage and safe packaging and labeling as well just one so following up on that which is that because another concern of the prevention folks is that this stuff that the edibles will or will be you know the kids are going to say oh it looks like a candy bar it looks like something delicious which I would imagine part of the marketing is you actually want it to look like it's something edible or delicious and so what are their are there methods of packaging that that you guys take that would be good for them to hear or alright have you thought about this or yes absolutely yeah I mean so our packages you know all of our packages are required to be plain opaque like I said childproof so if I if we do sell a chocolate bar that chocolate bar is very clearly labeled with you know that it is a marijuana infused product product but that chocolate bar I mean we can't put a chocolate bar in a box that's childproof but we do put it in an exit bag that is sealed and childproof and that is a bags and a we counsel our patients to use that as you know as safe storage for this product if they are very very difficult to open or any children so so yeah there are many many measures that are already written into the regulations around responsible packaging labeling and the childproof opaque containers that these products have to to leave the dispenser in and we've had to have the Department of Public Health basically okay's what the packaging is Oh anytime we have a new product that packaging gets reviewed by the Department of Public Health to ensure that it is compliant and we were actually happy and I keep saying being a Western mass chauvinist that um all of our design packaging for all of meta was actually done by group in South has over there yeah I appreciate like I really do appreciate the ideas to about talking about you know safe storage and I know that the Board of Health has already proposed that you know there'd be some education collaboration you know about the materials that might be required through the regulation that you know get distributed at retail stores you know and I think the regulation even covers over an ounce it needs to be stored in a locked container you know which prevents some access and not others I also you know I think Netta is a wonderful you know concept and idea and I don't know that every retailer coming in to Northampton from anywhere that wants to and applies to open is going to be that conscientious I'm not I'm not confident about that I don't know that it's going to look like that we know that the regulations do limit you know certain types of edibles and you know and not have look-alike like pop-tarts and all that kind of stuff that you know promotion people love to throw up there and show that pretty yeah but you know that isn't what I think is gonna be allowed here but it doesn't mean that there aren't products that will be attractive to youth or that marketing won't you know the young person oriented you know we really do need to be aware of that and be conscious of that and not every place is going to have roots in Northampton and and and and the knowledge base that that never has you know on the products so you know and I think especially when we get into cafe type stuff but we don't even have to go there right now because it's delayed but I mean you know who's measuring what and you know who's training to measure what and who's you know leaving intoxicated and how do we measure that there's a lot of issues around some of that the consumption stuff too but yeah I just wanted to say you know I appreciate what you all are doing and I don't know that that's what it's going to look like everywhere yeah I had a course question of public public use public smoking and a long time I was curious and maybe this is for you doctor 11 what the status is within the Board of Health discussions of a public smoking ban offer that it is under the statute it is illegal to consume in public sorry smoking goes that it's not lawful we're going to have a social cause of establishment that would need to be regulated by the CCC licensed in-state person so I understand yeah that would be the regulations however we currently have on the books on a policy event public smoking and municipal buildings in public parks but you know in Pulaski Park people smoke cigarettes and people smoke pot so the question is when there's when there's retail pot are we gonna see smoking and what what do we want our down what we want the last part is a little bit but we want to put all other public works but look like and how do we want our downtown to look and what do we want a model for our news so I think you know when people are smoking a work right now we don't have anyone enforcement we have a sign a couple of signs we've signs in our bus stops but people still smoking at bus stops and you don't have enforcement right now and I think that if you're gonna have people smoking cigarettes and people smoking pot more liberally that this is probably the time to talk about more so I can just get into that America Larry another contractor for the city of North Hampton so we have tobacco regulations and the way that we have defined smoking it covers anything that's combustible so if it's if you're bathing it's an e-cigarette it Vincent it's regular cigarette events a joint what have you it's all falls under this definition of tobacco and smoking is prohibited currently in all of our municipal parks and recreation areas when we included this in our regulation in 2014 we really thought hard about how we were gonna forces at that time we thought it could be a little bit of self-enforcing people would you know if they knew it was an area where it was prohibited the public would just ask you know could you plan to kind of put that out we have signs everywhere it's been pretty successful in most of our parks and recreational areas except for Pulaski Park we get multiple complaints every year smoking in the park even with their signs out there the mayor is just put some new revamps signs out there we talked about placement hope they not going help with what new signs our bus stations we perhaps may see a decrease in smoking in the areas but it's not foolproof so the way that the regulation is written right now if you can't smoke a cigarette you can't smoke tobacco so I'd excuse me marijuana so that's cover we're currently having discussions about expanding where smoking is prohibited we're talking about or looking at other communities and doing research on smoke-free downtown's because secondhand smoke is problematic so if we do end up amend our regulations to cover smoke-free downtown again that will be carried over to marijuana also so that's what we have in the books today Oh enforcement very tricky I've had conversations both with the mayor and she's a chief Casper and we talked about what that can look like obviously had a health department with one and a half full time inspectors we can't enforce smokey in downtown or in park and recreation area so she passed or has thought the only way well there's two ways we could either hire someone to make this their full-time job you know add another position either to the PD or check the health department or you know give the enforcement to the people who are already out there to the police officers right now we include this in our org as it is in our regulation but if we expand the territory into our regulation it's a non criminal offense of that means it's just the ticket she has her and I also discussed about maybe putting smoking rather than smoking making it a criminal offense like we do public consumption of alcohol that really doesn't sit well I don't think with our community but it's a discussion that we can have but so there are discussions that are happening between departments and the mayor enforcement but I think it's a broader discussion needs to be brought in to the conversation about another question um a lot of talk about caps and density and it's been trying another community I'm just curious if coming our planning department if they're anything is there any talk of any additional ordinance beyond those that have been proposed that would address the the matter of a cap or density of some sort you don't mind me on the spot so I think in a year felt like so what's in front of the City Council are our land use changes and in a cap you know some people could argue that could be considered a land use control but it's really moral political decision if there was interest in putting a cap out there that could be a separate ordinance in terms of density density may work in big communities where you've got huge downtown areas but there are communities around the country that you know Oregon and and Colorado that have actually I think statutorily they have some requirements for density cast but when you're talking about you know one per every 100 feet or four three four five hundred feet you're taking up a huge section of downtown already sent visit proposed zoning ordinance already is just focused on allowing retail in the commercial district so we have pretty small defined commercial districts and if so we thought that that and also without that the total they that if there were it needs to do a half that that would be the way to look at minimizing total number instead of dispersing them on the edges of the district yeah I think what Carolyn just shared this comes with good segue into what I wanted to ask her about so there's a little bit of tension between the concept of evidence-based and what is it really evidence-based and I'm curious I mean we have places around the country that have had adult use or recreational or whatever term were going to decide I'm using for a while now and I was a little bit surprised that we didn't hear any kind of evidence that's been collected from those locations what's worked what's not worked how the use has increased if their youth use has increased those kinds of things so I'm wondering if any of the experts in our audience can share lessons from the communities the states where marijuana has been legalized for a while and now I'm putting you all in the Sun there are 37 Colorado that would suggest that she knew yesterday there are societies in Colorado recently that suggested T News has not increased or rather a decrease and there's also giving those reasons for for that I think those reasons that you might see an increase in some of the studies that were shown not least so much being the fact that it has become a topic where people are much more comfortable talking about ten years ago people weren't going to admit to some cannabis where it's now people are voting for it coming up to meetings and saying I'm a lawyer I'm a doctor and this a mother I'd want Canada's here so he knows the best at least one reason for why you might see rates be different that of course is to suggest that people aren't just using it more I think you either way but what the studies are showing in other places is that it does not increase use of months to minutes if anything it's it's going to be happy to share that information with you if you want I could Supino's that's your question I have another perspective well yeah there is a lot of evidence from from the other states I would add to what Kim said that in Colorado there's a number of studies that indicate that property values and those neighborhoods that have cameras analysts are actually increasing and the property crime in Denver has decreased since a position those are two things and I just wanted to mention that you need to look closely at some of the studies because there are a number of communities that haven't been study haven't been surveyed in in Colorado including those you know so if you look only at those communities that actually have pot shops or selling retail marijuana and haven't banded in their community and you would simply look at those then you'll see that the youth rates have risen and I can provide some evidence on that too and I think like yeah I'm gonna stop there but I think there are a lot of research articles out there that look at lessons learned from Colorado and Washington and you know you can certainly talk more about that question though is my understanding from studies and I've heard partly from you and from some others that the evidence is a little bit skewed that in the places where marijuana has been legalized the opioid use rate has gone down and so that is cited as a real benefit yeah I mean I think that we have to look at all of the you know pros and cons and I'm I'm you know I think that there's a lot more research that needs to be done on marijuana and you know you know I think there's a lot of uses for marijuana there's different camps of people who say you know sobriety sobriety and there's other people that say yeah this is a better option than that and you know there's a question about whether those opioid use rates would it be going down anyway you know I think that we just really need to be cautious about fear about the opioid crisis and seeing this as some kind of real you know using that as a platform for for all the other risks that we may be facing in a community you know from from legal you know from bringing retail and I know you know at one of the public hearings you know one of the delivery people said they were really disappointed that that guns were not allowed on the delivery vehicle because they felt it was so dangerous to be transporting the product that they felt that that was something they were advocating for in the numeron you know and in a revised regulation so I think there's a lot of safety issues there's a lot of things to consider here and I just would be cautious about the whole theory connection you know there's also I mean dr. pootie talks about the connection of the receptors being kind of a similar receptor for marijuana juiciest as opioid and I don't know enough about that but she actually makes a connection between early initiation of marijuana and opioid use so if the the the research isn't out yet we don't have enough research to know time to speak for that what I feel really proud about is close to 18 years ago I was involved in bringing the needle exchange program to Northampton and every year over a hundred thousand needles are exchanged so the opiate problem in Northampton and environment is a pretty serious one and what's been really rewarding for me to see the patients coming in to Netta is how many individuals who come in with a list of opiates that they're taken and now after few years are really proud of the fact for themselves that what they're able to do is do no longer many of the drugs that they so again it's not a silver bullet but to be able to see so many individuals who are struggling who aren't now it seems to me that when we say we need to do more research you know if he says to change what the federal government is so we are allowed to do research there's a professor at UMass who for many years has wanted to do research and each time is applications have been turned down and that's why it's so great and a piece of what Mehta is doing is actually doing that research but in terms of the 50th issue there are individuals now and we're Hampton that are dealing with opiate because of medical marijuana my book uses 26 Center Street here in Northampton um I think that with the Commission kicking the cafe and delivery to 2019 creates a particular issue around the conversations for public use in Northampton because I think Canada's tourism particularly Northampton is Sydney with its progressive reputation will probably draw cannabis tourists and without having the option for public consumption in cafes people who are coming to Northampton to consume will be looking for places and options you consume that because I probably won't be able to do it in their hotel rooms they're probably not going to be able to do it on the street so so by kicking that down the road the Commission I think creates an issue around people coming into Massachusetts who will want to come here to buy and use cannabis recreationally so I can just create a bit of a quandary I think for tourists and the whole tourism which I think would be a boon for the city of Northampton and I also think when you're looking at downtown and a cap on the number of cannabis businesses that could be downtown you know I can't believe I'm actually gonna say this in a public forum socialist but you know the free market will sort a lot of them now I mean I mean I've looked downtown for 50 years and I feel that way about cell phone stores but but I think at least around the public consumption I think that we're gonna have to work our the the stories that come into the city and the and the police force and the public board of Public Health are going to have to work closely to figure out what to do around tourism thank you I just don't think that's the claim for bringing out the evidence part the Board of Health recently had a presentation about wait for it safe injection sites and so we are a new territory and so the evidence under opioids and evidence on this is just beginning that come out and most public health research it's always like fine because we need a lot of good experience so I can see where it's contradictory I want to come back to the opportunity to medicine opportunity by bringing an establishment into Northampton and they embrace that opportunity by thinking it through based on what you've said here tonight this is where we make the sausage and so again I want to say we have an opportunity it's not about restrictive opportunity it's an opportunity to address what we know now and what we can do within the confines of this cannabis commission so I just like us to embrace this and more of a okay how do we want to shape this for our could do me doing want cannabis to do it what do our businesses want well I mean I'm not sure we know and so this is the test before us of the Challenger force just one question that no could you describe this what the what will be different physically once once there's basically two operations going on how will that there's a there's a requirement regulations of separation between medical and adult use and it's supposed to be virtual outs so may have to make minor changes as far as where you can go to check out or the process of the packaging itself but it's not going to be a noticeable difference I don't know quite too much of speculation but just how detailed it would be because I don't have that information but we do expect that it's something that will be manageable and able to be done in our current patient court locations as things are so you're expecting to be via a single entrance as opposed to hundreds that's unclear how the how the CCC plans to regulate it I would imagine that they would take into consideration the fact that establishments have been up and running in a certain way for a certain period of time and what cost it would take to make those changes I originally were stated as virtual separation which would just be at the point of sale and that's what the CB recommended the CCC huh or they've indicated they do want some sort of physical barrier and again that only applies to places like Metta it wouldn't be for any other battleship just for adult use and and the man that might have something a supplement to know I am covered it is that choice I guess I had one last time I wasn't good I'm sorry everybody so I my hero of my dad is a radical political economist had taught at Hampshire for thirty years and I just have to say the free-market stuff isn't funny to me because this is big business this is tobacco this is alcohol it isn't like just farms and stuff and I know they've built in a lot of flexibility for a small craft you know growers and things but also a very quick exhalation path for growing big and this is big business and you know again I don't think it's all gonna look like Nana you know as much as we would like it to and so I just want to say that this is big business it's not it's not like small small stuff oh and I just want to thank everyone and thank you for service yeah yeah hey my name is Rosa Tom de meillan I'm 45 Olive Street so a lot of things for them caring tonight are all in regards to public consumption and a lot of fears relating to that so I think something was super important for everyone to consider is mixed-use licensing and permits people want to open cafes catering services yoga studios things of that nature if you have more pieces like that where people have access to different forms of cannabis in a safe private establishment you won't have as many people smoking out on the streets you'll also start to normalize it more so that all of these children will start to kind of learn about cannabis it's just being another herb and it's a very powerful herb but it's still you know something that has great benefits for a lot of people and it's something they can be really normal it can be used toward you normally use everyday people mention regularly so I think it's just very important for us all to consider makes you something and having really clear definitions on what that is first it's a retail establishment you know retail that might be more of like that big money big business but I think it's really important as a small city and a big town focus on these like mixed-use places where people will have options to kind of dabble in cannabis and kind of have this experience and learn a little bit more about it without it being this big huge business taking over downtown it doesn't have to be that way so I would just like to remind people that there's a huge world that kind of revolves around canvas and it's not just smoking it's using it topically it's using it orally and so I'd like to just see a big focus on that and ways that we can make it more fair for other people smaller players to get into the market so they mixed use different than the social consumption locations which have been sort of have been put off by the ccc as far as we know mix juice will still be in places so it depends on what you consider mixed use if the organ excuse is a loud or you smoke cannabis that's not going to be allowed at this point the CCC is currently in support today was the second day of debating so these things are kind of in flux at that momentum forgive me if they don't have the most up-to-date information but as of yesterday did vote to delay any more discussion about social consumption and delivery of any kind for retail establishments until October 31st at which time to see the c8b will submit recommendations to the CCC on how to how to do that how to do those things and then the CCC will have a public comment period on draft regulations and a little bit of same process you just went through now so the earliest you would see any sort of decision on social consumption or delivery of any kind for retail would be next February and that's not to say they're going to allow it it's just to say that's when we would have any kind of position it's up to you guys I guess and the rest of the people in the town to determine how that looks for Northampton what that looks like and you know I've encouraged that conversation to be ongoing it doesn't have to wait until then but you're not going to have concrete regulations on which to piece those decisions until at least next February so mixed-use again it kind of depends and there is more to be sorted out there as well but I think at this point answer is big I don't know but and no one does but having the conversations now is a great place to start no problem hi my name is Patricia Malone I live in Florence Center I'm sorry that I'm late I just got off work and I don't want to jump in the overly repetitive so I'll keep it to just a minute or two to raise my concerns and I'd like to thank on behalf of my neighbors as well so first of all thank you all I moved to this town seven or eight years ago and I until pleased with the way things I thought believe on in terms of development the way our parks are done the way we created this beautiful downtown area and I want us to continue in that same thoughtful thing to create solutions of policy that sort of everyone from whether it's business people for children or adults in the neighborhood and my main concerns are that we would please maximize whatever tax for a revenue so that we can support education enforcement safety of children and also not under did our neighbors I also am very interested in thoughtful zoning to keep this away from children I'm sure folks have talked about brain development and other concerns as well and then I would encourage you to consider keeping it out of the town center and pedestrian areas to make this more of a transaction and not necessarily a public experience and there's a few other concerns that I don't think we have the power to to address necessarily but you know how do we label this wouldn't we understand about what do people understand when they find the packaging outside of the context of a soror cafe and then how do we monitor driving right how do we understand that people are impaired and how we can address concerns around safety of our pedestrians in our town centers thank you so much for your time nobody else well I sip since the question of monitoring driving for safety just came up I know that's not huge issue just plenty of anyone wants to offer an update on the science of that okay the first shot I had an interesting conversation with one of the eight one of the Senators was on the joint committee the legislature last year that was focusing on Marijuana Policy and he told me that they had a parade of entrepreneurs come through their office trying to have various gadgets detective marijuana impairment and they sort of it sort of rolled his eyes they're all over the place I've got my views on that subject first of all there is one gadget that I think show some promise that was written up in the Boston Globe the other day it's called druid it's a it's an app you can download on your cell phone when you take this test them on the druid it determines whether or not you're impaired angry this I think we do have actually a method of the parrot and I've been pushing this for some time it's an old method and it's a very reliable one it's called a field sobriety test I suggest that we make it a practice subject driver so we're suspected of being impaired to a standard field sobriety test in my view if a person can't touch his nose or cap 210 or recite the alphabet backwards driver what he's impaired by marijuana or alcohol or prescription drugs or fatigue for that matter but there's one other thing we can add to that and that's video if beliefs cruisers had videos in them or cops were wearing body cams and they made a record of the the operation of the motor vehicle that seized this attention in the first place they made a record of the the motorists response when he tried to pull it over made her made a record of the conversation with the motorist and most importantly made a record of the field sobriety test then if the driver wants to challenge his arrest and you show the video to the judge or jury and let them decide no fancy equipment not a lot of money not a lot of complication use the tools tool sweet hat but field sobriety test but put it under the watchful gaze of a video camera that's my suggestion yes I just wanted to say that I think there's also like really good ideas and the only thing I want to add is that when working with youth and even adults I know who use recreationally we just be more of an educational campaign which Netta could certainly help with about just raising awareness that you might feel like you're more cautious when you're driving when you're hot it's not all of the things that mr. Kinsey suggested but also Colorado has had some great campaigns as a state about they have this really have you seen them they're funny and I've never a humorous and it's all about like you know some of it is just outlining rules like if you're a tourist like you know you can buy it here but you can't take it there and things about driving so having that be part of the city would be a great ways well to just raise awareness for youth and for adults that it's not a practice you should be an agent and then have the video sorry [Music] so speaking as a chemist I do remember I would like to alert you and everyone in the room to the materials that are available on the cannabis control Commission's website the Advisory Board is the body class of making recommendations to govern regulations and as part of our process of deliberations we gathered and discuss all of wealth of information specifically addressing a lot of these issues here that are not in the final regulations but they said they served to help make those regulations again there's not not everything that sit there it's in the regulations but you can go there and see where we've addressed how should you regulate security for different types of businesses not just armies but you know a standalone retail that is just as I'll use what kind of security is what would that look like local level issues that I think it'd be very helpful to what you guys are trying to determine here so again that's on the cannabis advisory board website a portion of the CDC website and there's just a wealth of information that you might find help video you all again oh please chef Garvin I'm 23 years old and I'm a marijuana user I just want to speak to the importance of getting this set up right just the fact that marijuana you get on the street this is the same marijuana even get any stores should be nice to have more sources available to supply the healthier tested products I think the testing is the extreme importance here and finding what you get from a shout is what it says what you get on the street isn't always the same it's not tested there's all different kinds of problems that can arise with that I think just limiting the shops is a problem I think that there should be more available and there should be more testing all of that importance also to the products I think that having products like a chocolate bar products like beeps are healthier alternatives your natural smoking and I think that education on that should be more brought forward perhaps in public forums perhaps on maybe a PBS newshour on education reform the public but I think that's where we're really lacking is yet and that marijuana isn't just marijuana becoming a medical patient has changed my life it's saved my life more times than one I just want to become the importance of that marijuana isn't always marijuana but there's different types of different kinds and how you use it an educationist importance here as mr. Evan said before a marijuana setting around forever it's not like it's a new product or anything but there's new ways to use it there's new ways that we're finding that it's helping and benefiting and I just hope that we can get it done I'm really concerned and I hope we think anybody and again thank you well thank you so much everybody for coming out in and sharing your thoughts with us I know where we all are listening and and please again legislative matters is meeting at 7:00 we'll go over the silly and potentially all of these will be at Council on Thursday the the tax question will be at the Finance Committee on Thursday and then if these zoning professors yes it will be on that agenda as well so thank you very very much everybody for coming I really appreciate everyone you | Northampton Government Video Archive | UCIPrum8dplDJC43ydowEUug | 2018-03-07 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 16,704 | 90,674 |
5Z5ciPJJV3I | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z5ciPJJV3I | Viper Gaming headset review | swag [Music] hi everyone welcome to the channel um today i'm doing a review on the viper gaming headset for ps4 xbox and pc basically it is from vive gaming uh basically it has a gamer headset adapter or if into pc adapter so this is more or less an unboxing and also a test video the adapters are right here you have green green red to red then you have your regular plugin that plugs it for the aux cord into a computer or headset microphone uh you have your little voice dial here on to control the volume like a regular headset but for a cheap headset these things look pretty amazing i mean it looks like they just spent like 300 on these but they were only 30 bucks i mean they're pretty soundproof i don't know if they have anything different or how they sound or anything so i will be checking these out in a second and you will be seeing these on a voice recording but until such time i will keep it under consideration alright guys i will talk to you in a few minutes when i'm doing the review hey what's up guys i'm doing the review on a game gaming system um i don't know if you guys are hearing any of this but uh right now i'm just testing it out to see what happens the volume on this is a pretty good volume um i really forgot how to play this one but i know it's oh my god it's been a few years what i am really bad at this game now what the heck i feel old now these are games i used to play when i was a kid what the heck hold on a minute huh jesus christ i feel old now what dude i feel so old playing this not gonna lie when you were good at the game in school it really like told you who is boss like i you not like back in school man you play these you'd be either the king or the most shittiest person ever because nobody can figure out how to do them beside you what is going on here i don't see the problem here okay and there were some levels you got to and nobody could do them and it was like even if you got them there they couldn't even do them there's like a certain skill behind everything you did but i don't even know no more this shit's nuts see this is what i don't understand i can't i'm not i'm not like physically skilled anymore with this i have lost the skill for this pc games and all these like stream games i i could do like all day long these i'm not even i'm not even familiar with these like this one i i did so many years ago and this takes me back to like 2009. okay oh hmm interesting whoa ah come on i used to getting so enraged over these and it wasn't even funny back then like i would get so mad i could freaking kick a hole like i could literally be one of them kids off a kobo kai i'm not gonna lie but then you couldn't get mad in school because then you got caught and then you were like they called home because again you were on something you were supposed to be on i was like i didn't give a hell like dude i mean you're doing this for a reason i mean no offense 50 of all the kids that did it had either youtube channels or some dumb home my thing is it's the funny part is how life has changed so much for all of us but yeah i just wanted to do this as a test for the um headset uh the viper gaming sets that from right now what i can hear uh the headphones are really good the microphone i haven't checked it yet but i'm about to check it now so i hope you guys enjoyed the video i hope you guys liked me crashing over and over again and i will talk to you guys in the next video i hope you guys liked it but yeah i bought them for 30 they were a dollar general um yeah they were they were very cheap so that's why i got them to do a little review on them and also i've got them for a friend hi guys i just got done doing a little video and everything i just wanted to say i went over the voice sounding of it it's so perfect it's not even funny i can barely hear any background talk my voice is very clear you can understand what i'm saying and i thought it had to be a lot closer like the like right here but i guess that's too much vibration of the mouth but they are very comfortable they have a lot of padding up top i'll take them off for a second because you guys probably not gonna be able to hear me but uh you can see they have very good padding around the top so i don't even feel there's good padding on the inside and a little bit of cloth i mean they look okay on the outside they don't look like they're they look cheap a little bit but for 30 dollars to start again for starting a youtube channel or gaming channel this is perfect for you like you don't need to spend 200 hours on a headset unless you're like really game gaming because no offense no don't offense anyone else i know i'm not making that much on youtube yet but uh it's just to start to see where i'm going to go and get from here um i do like them a lot they are very nice i bought these for a friend because it's her birthday in a few days 23rd so happy birthday 18 finally um so i hope she enjoys these she does a lot of streaming and twitch stuff so i mean she she's doing great with it so it's like wow so but she needs a headset so that's why i got her a headset i just wanted to pull him out of the box and check them out for make sure they worked and everything uh they're called a viper gaming headset they're for xbox one ps4 and pc um any of the more information that you need uh the lengths of the cord the length of the cord is four feet i just wanted to give you a heads up on that one and then the power the headphone power uh wattage would be a hundred millimeter megawatts 100 megawatts but that's all i wanted to that's all i really wanted to say because i just want to test them out make sure they were good you know people don't like opinions like buying something you've never heard of before like done buying a car like ford dodge or chevy or even prius or what's the other one called buick mercedes i guess so these are pretty interesting i mean you can probably hear me better if i do it like this i mean it's a lot better so i hope you guys enjoyed the video i hope you guys decide to get a pair of these um they're very nice i like them they would do what i need to do and make it a good day all right i will see you guys in a little while i do have some more videos coming out so stay tuned peace my apologies guys i just went over my apologies i just went over the last video i know the voice was very dim and everything uh i'm not gonna repeat it so i just turn up your volume a little bit

put her in a kidding stall about an hour ago or so she was having a little bit still left of ligaments but she was hiding behind the goat house she is eating but for a little bit then she would leave

little boy and of course our mandatory ginormous silver was trying to get milk from her chest i guess look at this he for sure will have blue eyes uh the other ones oh you wanna oh thank you thank you for cleaning me up i do smell like your babies what i've learned since i started doing this is that i need to milk the moms into a bottle when there's more than two babies and i'm not being able to keep up who is nursing and who is not then i need to see milk it into like a regular baby bottle and just feed it to them [Music] um with newborns i find that it's best if i just hold them like this like kind of close their mouth gently as they are drinking and that way i know she had her colostrum i'm gonna grab this little boy man here okay yes look oh okay go with your mama go find your teeth i mean i'm encouraging them to find their teeth but i'm also making sure that they are having colostrum and she wants milk too it's okay you want more and they need like a percentage of their weight and since they're so little they don't need too much so i push it on them until i see their drinking but then i don't push it too too much i just want to make sure that they do have colostrum see i pushed it a couple of times and now i encourage him to go find the teeth come here my body come here come here sweetheart come here now drink your mama's colostrum come on you can do this annie you're making it hard on me if you're just trying to clean my hands come on come on baby now i bumped her and seems like there's nothing there's something kind of hard just right against her utter and i don't see the big bubble and now she's kind of antsy so i don't know maybe she has another one and she's gonna take a minute i'll keep an eye on her until she passes the placenta it's not really cold today baby i know i know we're gonna become good friends okay you're gonna end up loving your grammy yeah well you better okay you better because i really do love this cute baby boy because he really do love my grandchildren i feel like they're still cold i haven't got annabelle or grey yet but i was worried about this little boy well that is ginormous with the longest legs i've ever seen so i've been teaching him that did it for me and rummy will keep him warm and rub him until he feels all good this is what kids are so useful for when they have their babies because i can always leave one of the babies with one of the kids and they will rub them like to stimulate them but i think he was cold even though we're probably in the 60s i think he just was very very cold there you go i'm not holding him he just wants to be there and he had colostrum and not only from the bottle but also from his mom but if you look at the other kids oh that little boy is acting a little um quiet but you know this one was the biggest and i think it's the one that is taking him the longest warm up and to kind of get a grip in his walking because he was pretty i mean look at this he is super long and super big so i'm sure he was all curved into a ball you're gonna be okay i still don't know the color of this eyes but i am almost 100 that he is pulled almost 100 percent you just need extra love from grammy that's all you need yes yes yes no medicine no mommy juice grams grams giving you kisses and i'm pretty sure he's staying just because he's warm he was pretty cold because again she had them very close i can't believe you you're so stinking cute little girl um that's her chest in the meantime look at this little guy you want to go inside with me and be bottle fed [Music] kind of worried about you you want to come sleep with us i think you're so so tired your brother over here he sleeps and he decided to go find mommy because now he's warm so he all of a sudden go hungry that's not where it is though okay let me help this little boy did you find the teeth i don't think you did okay let me see if i can point you to the right direction right here right here oh there it is he just wants a key it's not there oh my gosh it's a little bit more over there oh there he found it yay oh thank you for your kisses they're so sweet annie thank you i love your children already hi [Music] hi i know after i bumped her that she was done and she could be because this could be just the stuff from the baby and that just the bubble for the placenta you know how the bubble for the placenta is always bigger after giving birth to all the kids and then the placenta came you're on number two what are you doing oh you're giving me the birthday did you like grill my mouth okay you can lay down on it you can lay down i'll take care of your children if you want i'll take caramel she's very lost so i'm going to try to do this right here just to not stress him hi baby okay let's do our little girl first okay she is two pounds 10 ounces nicely boy hi my babies i know it's gonna be so traumatic three pounds two point three on this little guy hi milo you're ginormous nobody said this would be easy right nobody said that baby holds her little and he is four pound eight ounces [Music] time has gone and i grew up i somehow made it through without i opened the door it's later in

g3YZznk0BMA | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3YZznk0BMA | Backrooms Explained - Entity 83 The Hermit | the back rooms you've been here before entity number 83 The Hermit indexed entity threat score danger three intelligence B habitats majority image caption and artistic rendition of entity 83 The Hermit is a nomadic humanoid creature of Unknown Origin lives in a shack about the size of a trailer that it carries on its back the shack is made out of a material foreign to any well-known level but it has properties similar to Tin sheets rotted wood and dried bone when deployed the front quote unquote lawn of the shack is adorned with bloody to sharpened sticks with skewed corpses of various entities found within the back rooms some of these Corps include a decapitated Skin Stealer a Hound impaled through the stomach the large intestin of a human the disembodied head of a Strangler a grossly oversized eyeball theorized to belong to a Smiler an unknown snake-like entity with purple scales and long white hairs assumedly an undocumented entity The Shack itself has two rooms a dining room and a kitchen the dining room consists of a large rectangular wooden table with a total of six chairs surrounding it two chairs per length one chair per width all of these chairs are refurbished metal folding chairs except for the chair on the Left End which is instead a large wooden Throne velvet cushions adorning the seat and back the hermit usually sits in this throne for his meals unless it has a guest of honor in which case it moves one chair to the right allowing the guest to sit in the throne on the walls of the dining room are yet more trophies of other entities including the wings of a female Death Mo a blue feather note C entity number seven a badge labeled Bojack First Response and a popped balloon C entity 67 the kitchen on the other hand is a crude abomination of spare parts welded together in order to create something that can hypothetically be used to cook the ramshackle cupboards are full of different plates and bowls made out of the same tin likee substance as the rest of the house the cooling unit holds 2 gallons of almond water two bushels of an unspecified herb and at least 4 lbs of miscellaneous Meats at all times behaviors The Hermit is uncharacteristically hospitable often offering guests respit complete with meals composed of cooked meat later identified to be the Flesh of various entities and T A currently unknown plant brewed in almond water it talks with a masculine slightly Irish accent it has an affinity for long thoughtful conversation especially on the topic of food if allowed the hermit will prattle on for hours about his favorite dishes to cook and serve to those it trusts every once in a while the hermit can be found without its Shack roaming the various Halls of the back rooms surveillance officers affiliated with the Meg have reported sightings of a creature matching the hermit's visual description in levels 1 3 5 and seven sightings of the hermit have yet to be documented at any level Beyond 8 but it is wise to assume that the hermit has traveled there before due to its various trophies eyewitness reports of the hermit while roaming have described it as a quote unquote cunning Hunter various witness accounts say that while hunting The Hermit uses a crossbow a bon saw and bear traps and will hunt humans as well as other entities the the testimony of an armed Meg officer describes the hermit's hunting tactics in detail the hermit stealthily tracks its prey then strikes in quick bursts either firing a crossbow bolt or dashing in at insane speeds to slash with its saw after making an attack it Retreats back to the Shadows before anybody can feasibly react the hermit never seems to run out of ammo on its crossbow and the bone saw is is always sharpened biology The Hermit has a humanoid appearance although it is significantly taller than the average human male it wears a long brown patchy cloak that Trails across the ground and a dirty white mask in the shape of a large Aven skull it is currently unknown whether these two adornments are a part of the hermit's body or simply just clothing The Hermit despite its human appearance and personality is anything but surviving Witnesses of the hermit's hunt state that it quote grows another pair of thin black legs end quote in order to chase down its prey one particular witness recalls The Hermit ejecting acid from its eye sockets implying that it may be an arthropod behind its mask however many of these claims came from people suffering from symptoms of delirium and in sanity so the validity of these claims should be called into question as deduced by the Strangler head on a stake outside of the hermit's Abode it is theorized that the hermit has the ability to leave in escapable levels more research must be done in order to either confirm or deny this notion Discovery The Hermit was first discovered by Meg officer code name Moxy on a solo expedition of level five on an expedition to retrieve sustainable resources as Moxy approached the deployed Shack they were greeted by the hermit who beckoned them inside offering a meal below is the conversation had over dinner by Moxy and the hermit recorded by moxy's personal video recorder concealed in their jacket interview log 992020 begin log 1922 interviewer Meg officer code name Moxy interviewee The Hermit Moxy this is a nice place you got here most people back at Camp would kill for a house like this the hermit indeed it is I'll make some food The Hermit ushers Moxy to a seat across from the throne and walks into the kitchen Moxy what are you making the hermit from the kitchen that would be a personal secret we would not want people spreading my re Rees around now would we silence for 24 seconds Moxy looks at the trophies on the wall Moxy are those the wings of a death moth a female to be precise The Hermit from the kitchen oh so that is what those are called I suppose so Moxy how did you get them the hermit from the kitchen I hunt mainly for ingredients also for sport Moxy notices the badge of officer boj back on the wall silence for 12 seconds The Hermit walks back into the room holding two identical plates of what appears to be hot tea and steak The Hermit your meal is ready Moxy that was abnormally quick The Hermit I have my methods enjoy Moxy picks up a fork and knife and cuts into the steak they wait for the hermit to take a bite first then follow suit Moxy this isn't bad what kind of me is it the hermit I would be delighted to sit here and brag about my culinary skills but revealing my secrets May detract a visitors Moxy visitors The Hermit I enjoy welcoming visitors into my home it is a symbol of hospitality and friendship is it not besides you have been my best guest so far all of the others have had below average conduct Moxy glances at the badge again then takes a sip of tea Mox foxy wow this is exceptional I've never even tasted tea like this before seriously What's your deal The Hermit I am truly flattered but I have made it clear that my secrets shall remain just that Secrets Moxy do you at least have any tips on how to prepare food The Hermit pauses The Hermit of course the keys is to go with what you feel is right not what any recipe calls for at the end of the day it's your meal so you have to make it your own otherwise you cannot call yourself a true Chef Moxy I see the hermit oh and do not forget choice of ingredients is vital no amount of natural talent in the kitchen will save a meal with poorly selected components experiment with new ideas and build your style of cooking from there Moxy glances at the hermit's plate it's completely empty save for the cup that once held the tea Moxy well I should be off I've had my share the hermit are you positive I had plans for dessert Moxy trust me I'd love to stay in chat but I have people back at my settlement that are probably wondering where I am it's been much longer than I intended to stay out the hermit what a shame come back soon and tell all your friends to stop by Moxy I'll be sure to Moxy stands up and offers a handshake to the hermit who accepts without hesitation as they walk out Moxy slips a small sliver of meat into their pocket for inspection in the log 1927 upon moxy's return to base Alpha the meat served to them was deduced to be that of a skin stealer Moxy suffered from minor stomach aches and diarrhea for the next 48 hours however Moxy did not feel hungry for the next seven days after their encounter with the hermit any attempts for Meg to replicate the dish were unsuccessful Moxy now regularly visits the hermit for meals and conversations dos and don'ts do while visiting the hermit for dinner be as respectful as possible try to clean your plate show proper manners at the table while being hunted by The Hermit bring a partner to watch your blind spots lure it to other creatures to provide a distraction stay on the defense Ive and attempt to retreat don't while visiting the hermit for dinner don't ask too many questions about the food's Origins come off as rude or unruly attempt to touch any of its trophies while being hunted by The Hermit don't attack without any sort of plan underestimate the mobility of your Predator approach if TR tired weary or insane addendum 10/15 2020 it has been roughly a month and a half since Moxy started routinely visiting the hermit as of late Moxy has refused to record their conversations with the hermit other Meg officers and Wanderers have noticed Moxy skin get paler and gaunt as they visit the hermit more and more often it has been 17 days since Moxy has last been seen eating anywhere other than the hermit's shack medical monitors revealed moxy's heart rate to be roughly 30% lower than the average humans at rest however moxy's personality is unchanged private name removed for privacy has made the executive decision to stealthily place an audio recording device on the inside of moxy's jacket the following conversation was recorded during moxy's 13th visit to the hermit interview log 10/15 sl20 20 begin log 1859 interviewer Meg officer code name Moxy interviewee The Hermit the hermit well if it isn't name removed for privacy let me guess back for a bit more food Moxy you know it I just can't live without it the hermit I'm flattered coming right up footsteps silence for 12 seconds Moxy say that's a new trophy how'd you manage that the hermit far oh that that one was simple a clean stake at the legs and it can barely move anymore after that it is easy pickings Moxy neat you know I'm not too shabby with the rifle myself The Hermit far oh Moxy you better believe it before I got dragged into this hell hole I used to hunt all kinds of vermin I had this old cabin back in location removed for personal privacy one of the coziest places I can remember reminds me a lot of this place now that I mention it the hermit far that sounds like a nice place I'm sure you are skilled at shooting common rodents but do you think you could handle beasts that roam these Halls Moxy I wouldn't be here if I couldn't footsteps plates rattling the creaking of a chair The Hermit I like your style you know if you would ever want to join me on one of my hunts I would be happy to have you Moxy you really think I can keep up with you you've taken on death moths by yourself The Hermit as long as you stick with me you will be fine you can cover my back and I will cover yours Moxy I guess that's true what do I even have to worry about the hermit precisely sips silence for 9 seconds Moxy I've been meaning to ask you something The Hermit and what might that be Moxy who are you like before all of this madness happened all of us were completely different I ran a country club for God's sake but now I'm trapped in this infinite goddamn prison I used to be somebody but now I'm just a loner biting his time until he inevitably dies so before you got trapped here like the rest of us who were you silence for 6 seconds The Hermit name redacted for personal privacy sometimes you just have to forget your past it drags you down if you dwell on it for too long it will tear you to pieces while you are too busy looking for the answers to pointless questions as long as the past lingers in the back of your head you cannot fully focus on the present that is one of the many reasons why I am such a proficient Hunter I refuse to let my past cloud my thoughts and interrupt my hunt Moxy I guess you're right as always thanks for the advice the her MIT it is my pleasure would you like to stay for dessert Moxy I'd love to but I probably shouldn't those wusses back at HQ are probably wondering where I've been the hermit that makes sense take care please consider my hunting offer it would be a joy to have you Moxy I'd love to go out on a hunt with you just pick the time and place by next visit see you and log 1909 the feed was interrupted 3 minutes after the conversation ended upon moxy's return they refused to speak with private name redacted for personal privacy nor any other officer Moxy entered their quarters and did not leave for 46 hours upon their eventual exit they seemed much happier than normal for | Cry Responsibly | UC9cVHy1MyELE-Jajl0vpQSw | 2024-03-20 | Creative Commons Attribution

Yo4ANIPMsl8 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo4ANIPMsl8 | Johnny Depp'S EXPERT RIPS Amber Heard's PSYCHOLOGIST | forensic psychologist and i'm here today to rebut the testimony that was provided by dr hughes which of the opinions rendered by dr hughes do you intend to rebut so they're generally speaking there are three main categories that i'd like to talk about today so the first is that dr hughes misrepresented the tests and the results that she utilized in her evaluation she misrepresented my testing and the results that i obtained in my evaluation and she communicated in a man in a manner provided testimony in a manner that presented um essentially her own opinions and the self-report of ms heard as facts okay the first category you talked about was the misrepresentation of her own test methods and results what do you mean by that so dr hughes used she stated that she administered 12 tests in actuality she used eight checklists um about half of those were symptom checklists the other half were checklists checklists about experiences that people can have with domestic violence and those are not appropriate for forensic settings they are easily exploited um other issues that you intend to address relative to misrepresent misrepresentation of own results yes so in addition to using these checklist measures which are easily exploited in a forensic context they're developed for research or treatment only she also stated that these checklists revealed things that they simply cannot reveal especially in this context um and let's see she also misrepresented information clear indications on several of the objective measures that she offered and there were indications visible that ms heard had essentially uh engaged in what we call response distortion so clear indications of exaggeration on one of the measures that's specific to ptsd clear minimization of symptoms intentional on another more broad personality and psychopathology based measure that she gave to ms heard which she did not acknowledge did you intend to address anything relative to the caps 5. i did so dr hughes administered the caps 5 about 10 days after i did almost two years after she initially tested ms hurd and she did not administer the test appropriately so she left major components blank she didn't apply the scoring rules that are clearly outlined with the test and yet she diagnosed her misheard with ptsd based on that assessment what about dr hughes's use of the personality assessment inventory so of the tests that dr hughes administered two would be considered of those twelve two would be considered what we call forensically relevant instruments meaning that they're objective enough and they provide us with some information about how the examinee approached the test that it would be appropriate for this setting where the examinee is going to have a natural incentive to present themselves in a way that benefits the outcome of their case now on the pai there were clear indications that ms heard was responding and obtained scores in a manner that's consistent with individuals who have a personality disorder and there was also an indication that several scales we call this a configuration so you might have one main scale that you notice is elevated then you look for additional subscale information to get additional information on what could be elevating that scale and there was a configuration that showed that even though ms heard had moderately elevated one of the skills that can be associated with trauma that elevation is better explained by childhood or distant traumatic experiences like the complex trauma misheard reported experiencing growing up okay you said you that dr hughes utilized checklists that are not appropriate for forensic analysis can you explain that yes so as i said in any sort of forensic context whether it's a civil or criminal matter a person who's being evaluated is going to have major incentive to present in a way that benefits the outcome of their case so you always approach the examination i believe dr hughes said with the health healthy dose of skepticism but that alone is not enough we have to operationalize that so we actually have to administer very comprehensive objective tests that either control for attempts to manipulate the test results or reveal attempts to manipulate the test results so that we're not just blindly accepting the results or the self-report of the examinee how many tests were administered by dr hughes she said that she administered 12 tests how many of them uh were appropriate for forensic physical examination so the trauma symptom inventory is appropriate it's an objective measure and it does have two primary scales that look at how the person approached the test the personality assessment inventory is an excellent test it is a broadband measure meaning that it captures not only symptoms of mental illness but also general personality traits that also gives us pretty detailed skills similar to that one test i administered mmpi that tells us a lot of nuanced information about the way the person approached the test she also administered a malingering screen that can be very very useful but not in this context so it's called the miller forensic assessment symptom test it's a brief set of questions that you ask the examinee and it's been shown by research to be extremely effective at identifying and examine these attempts to fake a severe mental illness or psychosis and psychosis is when somebody loses complete connection with reality it's excellent for that purpose it's actually been shown in the research to not be effective at all for identifying a respondent's attempts to fake ptsd anxiety or mood disorders the questions are just too odd for somebody who has the wherewithal to be trying to have ptsd to endorse they see through it so she used that um that's a fine test but not appropriate for this context of the various tests that she administered how many were these checklists eight of them and what are you talking about specifically okay so i had mentioned that there were two main categories of checklists she used the first is the symptom checklists um those included the bet depression inventory it's a brief inventory of items that essentially show all of the symptoms of depression that a person might have and you rate which level of severity you have for each question she also gave the back anxiety inventory very similar but just with questions about anxiety she gave the mood disorder questionnaire which is a very brief again checklist it shows symptoms of bipolar disorder bipolar disorder is a mood disorder where you might have an extended manic episode and then a very extended depressive episode and then she gave the post-traumatic stress disorder checklist and that is a screening instrument only it contains every single symptom of ptsd so there's a secondary danger here too when you think about it given that ptsd is the most frequently feigned and claimed diagnosis in civil courts if you're handing somebody a checklist that lists every single symptom of ptsd you're essentially teaching them all the little nuances that we're looking for to give that diagnosis so she gave that to ms hearn miss heard endorsed most of the items and dr hughes diagnosed her with ptsd and substantiated that opinion by ms herds checking those items on the pcl5 were there another group of chess of checklists that dr hughes used yes so uh she also oh and i forgot one on the last because i don't think of it as one but previously i'd explained and i do not expect you to remember it's called the life events checklist which is just an inventory of experiences a person may have gone through that are traumatic dr hughes also used that and that's appropriate to use before the clinician administered ptsd scaled the gold standard caps five however she administered this long ago before she gave the caps five now that going on to the second group there were three checklists that she gave that are specific to abuse and the first she gave the danger assessment scale was actually developed for use by nursing staff in an emergency room setting specifically for female victims of intimate partner violence the purpose of this is important because our forensic ethics our psychology ethics talk a lot about relevance is the test relevant to the purpose and the danger assessment scale its initial purpose was completely different this was developed to show high risk factors for dangerousness and pretty much to help a female who is in an extremely abusive partnership who is in the emergency room with extreme injuries to stop rationalizing because if she has to check off all the things that have happened that year that have been dangerous does he own a gun has he you know i won't go into all of them but the more she checks off the more likely it is that she might realize that she is in imminent danger and then accept resources offered by the hospital and social work to protect her that was the purpose of this scale it was never intended to be used as a retrospective measure to look back in time and find out whether abuse was occurring based on one person's report years later in a litigation she also gave the conflict tactic scale revised the second edition similarly this scale was developed for research purposes to research family violence again there is no control for exaggeration or minimizing it was just given to research participants anonymously so that we could get data on the prevalence of abuse and how abusive dynamics work and on that there's 39 questions where the respondent indicates essentially certain abusive behaviors they may have engaged in and then 39 where they indicate behaviors their partner might have engaged in and obviously you can understand that in a forensic setting the respondent is likely to put a very minimal amount of behaviors they engaged in and then extremely uh increase the number of behaviors their partner might have um and then lastly let's see i oh the abusive behaviors observation checklist was the third checklist she gave this one has not there's there's no known research even on its effectiveness for what it was developed it's a theoretical very brief checklist that was meant to be used for therapy where an individual who had experienced domestic violence could essentially read through some of the behaviors that constitute violence that they might not have been aware of and if those behaviors applied to them or if some of those coping strategies were ones they utilized they would check that off and then they have a way to talk about it because now it's been put to words again this is similarly problematic if you're in a civil litigation the person's motivated to have their results be consistent with a claim or an allegation of intimate partner violence and an allegation that they've been severely harmed then they could simply just check off more and not only that but checklists like this one specifically give a lot of nuanced information about what clinicians might be looking for when they're assessing whether violence was present or whether the person's self-report is consistent with a genuine self-report of having been victimized they're given all that information that we might be looking for can you talk specifically about dr hughes's use of the i think you called it the pcl5 yes so the pcl5 is the post-traumatic stress disorder checklist this is different not to be confused with the caps 5 which i've talked about previously as being the gold standard the pcl5 was developed by the national center ptsd it's intended for treatment so if i were for instance working with a service member who i know had been in combat i would probably give this as a standard with my intake before we do the diagnostic interview it kind of gives me a read on how somebody who's there for treatment who we assume can be taken at their word because if they give us correct information they're going to get an appropriate treatment and if they give us incorrect they might not get the treatment they need so i would give this checklist to them and then if they recognize some of those symptoms of ptsd they could check it off and that would probably indicate to me that i need to then do the next step if they're checking off more items than not i would probably decide to administer the clinician-administered ptsd scale that gold standard interview to find out more about a diagnosis the last thing is what everybody refers to as the caps five yes the caps five what about um well you talked about forensic use what do you mean by that so when i'm talking about uh forensic evaluation that's an evaluation that doesn't isn't done for therapy or treatment it's specifically to assist the fact-finder to assist the judge or the jury in the court by providing information about the psychological status about an individual and that's an important delineation too we are not psychologists i wish we remind readers i wish we had a crystal ball and could find out whether intimate partner violence occurred and looked back in the past but it's nothing like that really it's a lot less interesting we look at data we have to control for those response biases and then we also are looking at functioning which [Applause] is really the bottom line of the assessment did the person have a change in functioning from before the alleged trauma or in this case the alleged ipv to after is there a decline in the way they're going about their lives all right you | The Invisible Explorer | UCXbImjX2xI78Ud3ualfJiIA | 2022-05-25 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en

LvNTSi6i9p0 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvNTSi6i9p0 | Surgery in the COVID19 World - How to prepare, what to do. | hey guys welcome back it is Thursday May 14th I think and we're getting close to reopening I think so in the anticipation of the new clinic reopening I wanna point out a few changes our book taking place it's gonna be a different world now in the post covet pandemic healthcare field so number one everybody is super eager to get back and have their surgeries done so all of you guys that I understand why they're being canceled being rescheduled or wanted to book your new surgery with us please know there will be new things that we'll be implementing ok number one the big problem we're still facing is lack of good testing it is unlikely that we'll be able to test our patients before their surgery unfortunately that's just the way it is here in Canada right now in Toronto and so we have to assume that every person coming in is potentially coded positive and take extra precautions to treat them as if they were Kovac positive we are going to ask all our patients that they quarantine themselves for at least five days before their surgical dates over five days please be super careful wash your hands don't touch your face stay away from strangers minimize contact with our people strict social distancing to ensure that you don't catch anything in the short time before surgery should you happen to be covered positive in those five days hopefully it'll become obvious to us so when you come and see us we'll be able to screen you and potentially reschedule it for later when you recover so that we don't have actual Kovac patients coming into our clinic next after the surgery plan on quarantine yourself of 14 days so if you're a family member or a friend that's gonna be staying with you ideally they will quarantine themselves as well with you to make sure that you don't catch anything in your recovery because you really don't want to catch a cold a virus infection while you're recovering from your surgery one it can complicate your recovery too it can make the connection worse and three just imagine you don't want to be going to a hospital while you're healing from one surgery and potentially getting other problems from the hospital admission next we're gonna limit the number of visitors coming to our clinic so you won't be able to bring a family member or a friend to come along with you when you come to the clinic you will come along and people that are coming people come in directly will be limited so for the foreseeable future all our consultations will continue to take place virtually there will be no impersonal consultations the patients that need to come in to be seen for an assessment before their surgery will come in but we cannot limit this to people that actually having surgery not just people coming in for a consultation so this will be after you decided you're gonna go have the surgery we will see person make final assessments and then after surgery we will see you in the initial phases when you're still healing so we'll see it one week and see how healing paid go based on that but typically in the in the future we will not be having patients come back to the clinic for future follow-ups we will continue to do virtual follow-up so we'll do FaceTime or whatsapp or other methods that will allow us to see you but not in person and finally if you want a patient that has been cancelled please know we'll do everything possible to be scheduled um you guys will have the priority will be the first people to have the surgery everybody else will come afterwards it's gonna be a matter as it can be complete chaos we are gonna do the best we can to accommodate everybody but guys please be patient we we're seen it's it's gonna be chaotic and it's gonna be a little slower and little less efficient it used to be because of all the new safety protocols that we have to implement we will not be able to perform as many surgeries per day as we used to before so that's gonna slow down our progress how how it's gonna go I don't know we will be implementing new protocols and it's we're gonna learn as we go and we'll find to them as we go but at this time it's difficult for me to predict what's what's gonna happen so for all those you guys that are really excited about the prospect of us re opening and hoping to get your surgery soon please very very important continue to practice social distancing wash your hands regularly don't touch your face try not to get covered just before your surgery now there are some people out there that don't think is a big deal they don't think of it is that big the only thing it's a hoax or just overblown whatever else please know we don't really know much about this virus it is a brand new virus Cora is a new virus about Kobe 19 this particular virus is new we don't have a lot of experience with it we're still learning about it but we don't know what's gonna happen if someone who is causing Kobe positive who may be completely asymptomatic has no symptoms goes to surgery will the stress of surgery trigger your immune system to a point where your system gets overwhelmed will the buyers get out of hand will people who are perfectly healthy and people that have no issue with covered become a really sick because I've covered so we don't want you to have covered don't try to get covered please stay safe | sixsurgery | UCni55_KIyCpJn-4IDcOWfQA | 2020-05-14 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 980 | 5,299

start/stop button and you tap on it comes alive s turn on DLC quite a hot without so the instrument come on start very nice to view as a very nice instrument cluster all LED it has a digital speedometer the engine coolant gauges by a left-hand side to see right there the marker lights telling you the level at if it is now the fuel gauge by the right-hand side our briefers is microphone connected have the rev counter here that is right there at one below on how the gear is in park the green live above the packets telling us they were driving in economy mode have analog light meter showing that the cruise control is on outside it's 40 degrees Celsius driven 28,000 384th car and shows you the clock they are looking at the steering you have button to control the mini screen rider can switch from going to my phone from here just by hitting the enter button can scroll through speed dial called history and phonebook to judge the volume right there so you can touch actually touch the sensitive also you could also tap on it if you don't want to swipe swipe through could also change from phone 2 a.m. to FM 2 audio apps to bluetooth 2 USB and you know we are back right to the beginning area this is to take a course to hang up on calls or to go back voice activated to call rottenly you could use it to call someone on the phonebook as long as you have that preset already and this information button you could cycle through the your phone music to see your trip computer to know how economically arriving this puts this display right on the screen right screen there cycle back through here see averaging trip date that if I don't testify spirit as I'm total hours we've driven only car tapping on the bottom again music form and that's it right there this is the cruise control section now cruises on I started off feminine see the light goes out there hit the button again comes on we have reset or to increase speed fifteen council and we have this set sake decrees on spiritually how long on the logo embedded in steering we also have the airbag right there this is to auto level the headlamp at night to turn on or turn off the packs also to turn off the traction control right there the screen is it seven point one inch screen and very nice touch sensitive have some information displayed this is the material runs on Android operating system could slide down ecosystem other features food shows your phone's battery power level location GPS you have audio phone and info audio you can't go through music use folders truck I just the sound changes sauce we have actually eight sauces it from eight sauces FM am just as we saw on the center screen Thea and Bluetooth HDMI I have an HDMI port right down the area of some storage also and moving further we have the phone how the phone menu speed dial on phone book you can good he and see what you have on your phone book and know that you can select to confirm capital if you want to die someone's number this time is quite slow and sometimes it's very responsive some other times majority of the times is very slow to to click both type in here it's very responsive both hitting on most menus kind of lugs this is information you have your trip computer clock and some other than they could select from which you its system you want to see and you want to see on the screen so up here we have AC telling of the temperature at which the ACS do add we have the audio have the source it could directly choose from a source which you want your audio to sound from that it's full network gluten is connected battery level GPS also right now here it's everything for the climate control up here you can adjust commonly see it's on auto mode nom actually on both small glasses on low an automatic can send the add three of fit fit on face face fit then vent infidelities to control the fan speed push for automatics turn on turn off every circulation a front vent and the rear defroster then also has dual climate control here it's now it's low low if the personal passengers I'd want a warmer air then we can increase the temperature for just our personal services of 20 now this is killer low if you want to synchronize back just tap on it and goes back to law this is just a small feature to hold my phone in place while driving it's a CVT continual variable transmission pilot Park reverse neutral drive sports and low range this is electronic brake hold and electronic parking brake economic button if I tap on that now no telephone economy now change a call access a corn again a technology have a USB plug in my phone to charge for the GCC countries the Gulf countries there is no Android auto and apple carplay in any car just as in Chevrolet you'll find the odds-on star feature here in this region we have a large space here have a cup holder there and modern large space we have a USB here 1.0 amperes here unfortunately there are no Easter eggs if I should sit behind myself they are no more squishy I'm very proud of him the godless it is quite low to the ground deployed spy time you have your news from it I into describe the Republic are so might cope with them yeah no letters at all watch my head while coming out generality it's really comfortable no Headroom at all from it's a finger one finger coming up struggles come over from them right in here you have that two-tone finish and this metallic silver stripe attack tubular to give it a nice flow you have AC vent back here does the front look like it from behind techniques amorous down we have a cup holder right here that's the rest is there we have this window right here too and take off some blind spots around the car to gain access to the world or the car needs to be unlocked when the car unlocked then you can put this to open and you see the capitalist system and when you're done refueling just going to take off the nozzle and don't worry about where you kept your car or if it's properly tight or not now that let me close when you lock the car this also looks cannot open up coming to the back we have back assist sensors four of them around the card we have the back up camera sweating slightly little rights to the camera have a button to release the trunk quite route quite which trunk house spreader going down right there of what else I think I'll have the jerk and also the funnel in case you need to use a gas can it is just important for down street you can see the divider there it's really them just need to pull this go to the back of the car for this its Domino let's look at the car works more with the headlamps Contin does its problem there we have the side marker light have its own signal integrated into the side mirror coming right back have the LED or to the signature light because when you sit in the dark we know for sure it's a Honda Civic so driving in the Honda Civic it's really fun and you can feel confident while you're in the car because of the independent suspension all around the car you could actually tell what every tire is doing you could toss the car around corners even while doing 60 or 80 and Christ planted to the ground without any disturbance at all because of its shape it just it just goes one thing you would have to consider is while driving in Eco mode you don't get that clutter response as you're supposed to get as you supposed to get while driving in the nominal we need to even after you've slowed better the pedal to the metal you don't get it going up we will get the goal on if you drive me normal was talking about then what system indicate now to turn right and a camera comes up makes me see everything on on my in my blanks Gordon had right-hand side so I could know what the guy next to me is doing on there for me to go and also gives you that will give you some guidelines apart from indication right turn it on we would press the button just on stock here and then it comes on and stays determinant is agreeable to see what is going on the controlling the strategy if you come on common again why do we're driving in Akuma just right on the instrument cluster here right above it there is an LED light turns green when it's green shows you how efficient to driving while it's turning white you know we are going to do that efficiently to consume worker Wi-Fi drivers while it's white then no debate not really time go on this

1Jv0j6rxNEM | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Jv0j6rxNEM | THE DIGITAL DOLLAR IS ALL YOU NEED & CBDC’s ELIMINATE CRYPTO? | welcome digital asset news they get top stories in crypto and bring them out of bite size pieces so today just like the thumbnail suggests we're going to take a look at the validity of the digital dollar and is it really all you need as far as cbdc's as compared to cryptocurrencies and the way we're going to do that is take a look at what's going on in the current market and some current news events so first up fed chair jerome powell says you wouldn't need cryptos if you had a digital u.s currency so we're going to look for the truthfulness of what he's talking about and how it compares to crypto and how it really actually is different from the digital dollar and uh since there are no coincidences at the same time the imf world bank bis recommend countries work together on cbdc's to enhance cross-border payments and uh this couldn't come at a better time as china reveals a digital yuan white paper as they say they're going to also have smart contracts there's been billions already settled and large transfers are traced but the small ones aren't because you can always trust china so we'll take a look at what's going on there and then i'm going to wrap it up with what brad garlinghouse said at the economic club of new york in 2019 and this is really going to play into what cbdc's are uh how it actually pertains to the current situation and really is it really necessary for what we're talking about and then uh finally just to make mention of we're gonna do a prediction evaluation live video with a guy from coin bureau and crazy for cryptos and we'll talk about the very end but first let's take a look what's going on the market so today it is sunday it is uh july 18th and uh it's pretty much the same we're just moving sideways i you know july we've always thought that july wasn't going to be a great month and uh it did not disappoint and here we are moving sideways so i'm just happy that bitcoin has uh uh remained in within that 30 to 40 000 range there was a little bit of a 29 000 that's okay so today bitcoin price is 31724 this is trade the chain looks a little bit different right now because i have it on a on a condensed view let's take a look at some coins real quick and see where we actually are at as far as prices so uh ethereum really did break down it went below 2000 and now it's dropped to 1904 and but within 24 hours it hasn't changed too much tethered nobody cares finance going cardano up 0.52 watch out xrp down 0.48 watch out again now it doesn't matter nothing's really going big dogecoin is down six percent seven percent because of that car salesman tweet whatever and uh that's the big stuff really it's just sideways action uh if you're a big trader i'm not uh let's just use what trade the chain designed for sentiment analysis i'm going to click on that one hour projected range let's see what we got here wow so between negative one percent and plus 16 with 90 assurance this is what trade the chain is telling us take a look at fusion take a look at seller network d5.money ocean protocol electro neum amp and those are just ranging in the pan 18 percent four percent six percent and uh yeah if you're looking for trade the chain links in the description but let's just uh let's break into today's top story where we talk about the digital dollar is all you need this ought to be good so what's going on here well uh during the hearing which was just this week representative stephen lynch from massachusetts and two sits asked if a swift action first of all the fed doesn't do anything swift except drop a ton of money from the helicopters if a swift action on the fed's digital currency would calm the markets and whether a digital dollar would be more viable alternative than having thousands of cryptos or stable coins pretty good question actually if you think about it and uh jerome powell says i think that could be the case in particular you wouldn't need stable coins you would need cryptocurrencies if you had a digital u.s currency i think that's one of the stronger arguments in its favor and before i go on uh just to make mention of this i can't let that pass without talking about it look the re there is no difference between and brad's going to talk about this later i don't want to steal his thunder but the reason between uh the digital dollar the cbdc's and a cryptocurrency is that there really is no difference between the digital dollars cbdc's that's the same thing and a crypto there is no limit on how much they can print as far as the dollar so even if you digitize it which it's a digitized anyhow what's the difference it's just a difference in the the wallet and i'll explain that later but really there is no difference in that and you can just keep putting things to infinity so it's the same thing there's same uh inflation there's the same problem and this is what cryptocurrencies they limit uh the actual tokens to the to the amount of whatever it's said at bitcoin's 21 million that's a very famous one so if we take a look at this like there is a big difference and jerome is not stupid and i know he knows this but when he's talking to somebody uh in congress he's probably just blowing over it and just blowing smoke and gaslighting going same thing it's no big deal and that's how things get done you just kind of roll over and steamroll people and don't really get into the into the thick of it and that's one of the problems i see here i could be wrong let me know in the comment section maybe jerome has no idea what he's talking about this ought to be great in the comments but uh let's move on so to finish this up representative lynch also raised concerns about the slowness of digital dollar development citing that many central banks worldwide are progressing faster than the us in this area look the digital yuan uh they've already come through and said we've already processed billions of transactions and guess what we've got 20 million wallets out there beat that powell replied i think this is the beginning of an accelerating decision process wow you've accelerated the decision process that's good we have a lot of work left to do on the technical side and on the policy side but a critical part of it is just public consultation i'm really concerned about getting this right i think it's way more important to get it right than it is to get it fast and i gotta tell you there is one thing i will say about this and that is as an entrepreneur i just try to stick things just throw things at the wall and see what sticks and i can kind of understand what paul what powell here is saying and i will say one more thing and that is that for those of us who remember history uh we weren't the first ones in space it was russia russia beat the pants off us and uh we rallied together as a nation said we're gonna put somebody on the moon and we did it and we did it first go america america so i wonder if this is going to be one of those lights light under the fire or light under the pants type of situation where we're like look we're getting crushed over here by different countries china being one of them maybe it's time to put our foot on the gas and really start to do these cbdc's if this is what it is but in all honesty um congress and the fed and all those things it's it's not their job to innovate that's not their job their job is to regulate so i don't know why they're even like really talking about this i do think that there's a a good play for i mean we just talked about why it's not any different than the digital dollar but what i do see a difference is is how they're going to use oracles for smart contracts and i'll get that in a bit so anyhow to finish this up uh the fed chair also addressed concerns about the us losing its reserve currency status and he states there really isn't a good competitor out there all the things you need to be a reserve currency the united states has we're not in danger of losing it and certainly not to china so we'll see how right he is and we'll go from there i can speculate and i can talk all day long but it really comes down to execution and we'll see it all works out but really in all honesty if you take a look at innovation how fast things move time to step up because if not we're going to get passed by anyhow let me know what you think about this in the comments section and let's talk about the imf uh finally going you know we should really work together so this one was kind of funny and it's really hilarious the very last statement but there was a committee on payments and market infrastructures the bis innovation hub international monetary fund and the world bank published a joint report on the g20 on july 9 titled central bank digital currencies for cross-border payments the report explained that cross-border payments are commonly criticized for their high cost low-speed limited access and insufficient transparency and it's pretty amazing that we still have it so expensive in today's world look i can send an email to anybody instantly what's the difference between sending money uh across across borders what it is is that we are hampered by swift which was a company created back in the 60s to transfer money across border and of course banks here's the thing banks don't trust each other guess what countries don't trust each other so for those different banks within the network if you want to transfer i don't know the the pound across right you have to have dollars and pounds in that bank if you are a bank if you want to transfer the bot if you want to transfer any type of different currency you have to have that currency plus your currency in that bank across the pond uh you know why because banks don't trust each other we don't trust banks so why should they trust each other and then on top of that we know countries are kind of like i don't trust that one so when we when we see about here that's the whole thing that swift's eliminated because they said well we'll just do it like this it's a it's not even a transfer service it's a telecommunications service it's a it's a text messaging service that's really what it comes down to so this is an old technology and it's still around that's the kind of power the banks have hopefully they lose a little bit out of it anyhow to finish this up various aspects of central bank digital currencies were analyzed and it came out of this the analysis highlights both the need for multilateral collaboration on macro financial consequences as well as the importance of interoperability between cbdc's the main conclusion of the report said this try not to laugh out loud central bank digital currencies have the potential to enhance the efficiency of cross-border payments true as long as the countries work together now here's the thing here's the thing some countries do like each other i mean we have a great relationship with canada pretty good with mexico eu different places right but as far as like countries all working together are you out of your mind no way so you i don't see this actually working i don't see this actually coming to the past i think there's going to be roadblocks because like well they can say well you can you know uh go from america to canada and you know transfer you know any kind of uh uh service or like dollar to to to franks and in france but if you want to go to like russia or or china or something like that yeah good luck so we don't trust each other and that's really what it comes down to let me know how if there's a way to alleviate that i just don't see this really working too well unless you have an intermediary type of crypto and i'll leave that up to you so there is that piece now let's go on to one of the more important things i think the digital you want so this is what's going on china's digital yuan is no different than the physical remember i know we say that wrong correct me in the comments i'm sure you will i don't really care but the thing is like and people will ask well what's the difference between between the digital yuan and the room and the renminbi it's almost the same thing it's a subtle difference right so like the us dollar we don't in america we don't call the us dollar the federal reserve note we said the u.s dollar so the digital yuan they don't call it the uh people's bank of china you know note or whatever else it is it's this the renminbi so people was called the digital the yuan the you want as far as like the money part or the coin part there's different names for that but anyhow that's pretty much it in a nutshell but to get to the point the people's bank of china's digital currency working group stresses that the digital yuan often referred to as the ecny and this is a acronym we're going to have to get used to ecny ecny that's digital yuan is no different than the physical form of money used by the chinese today and it's the same thing we talked about as far as digital dollars there's no difference it's just zeros and ones but it's the same thing it's the same thing the only difference is the wallet i'll get to that in a second the issuance and circulation of ec and y is identical with physical remember while the value of the former is transferred in digital form zeros and ones the paper claims and this was the white paper the more than 20 million digital yuan wallets have been created thus far which i guess is pretty good but you gotta remember china's like about a billion plus people so sure and 5.4 billion or 35 billion yuan has been set on the ecny network which i guess again is pretty good because it's just they just rolled it out not too long ago the progress report notes that the digital yuan protocol has built-in programmability this is the big thing eludes and that alludes to the use of smart contracts it doesn't say smart contracts but it deludes the fact that smart contracts and decision based transaction the ecny obtains programmability from deploying smart contracts that don't impair its monetary functions under the premise of security and compliance this feature enables self-executing payments according to pre-defined conditions or terms agreed between two sides so here's the thing about smart contracts as far as like finance and those types of things so let's make it make a simple assessment here let's say that you want to buy a house okay you have to go to the mortgage company right and they have to approve you because they have to take a look at your credit score your work history they have to take a look at your bank accounts they have to look at a different a couple different things let's take a look if there's a lien on the houses make sure that that's on the up and up and everything's you know pretty good to go so to do all those things that's a lot of middle men middle women whatever you want to call it and uh that's cost all the way along those little little uh points right what if you didn't need those people and i could just be done automatically some type of thing called an oracle right and it pulls in all this data from outside in the actual real world and puts it into the actual blockchain because blockchain can't do that that's why we need oracle so if he can do something like that where it could go to the irs and say hey is there any uh any kind of judgments against this person or do they are they on the up and up with their taxes and it goes to uh you know your credit score experian and all the diff all the other the both the other ones that escape me right now and they say what's the credit score 740 sounds pretty good irs okay you're pretty good and also we can take a look at your employment history looks like you made x amount of dollars and then also we can integrate with your bank and it's instantaneous and it gives us all the information and it doesn't really do anything i mean as far as like a middle person and boom it says approved the money goes from your bank into their account it pays for it it sets it all up that's essentially like a great smart contract right so when it talks about this how's it going to do that how's it going to do those types of things just because it has a digital you want there's a lot of different protocols that come into place and on on top of that all the different hacks that could potentially come in so when we see something like this and that's just one example right we want to see something like this maybe the whole thing isn't so much about the cryptocurrency in the digital dollar let's say that the america does go through with this and they do say let's do the digital dial and actually get it through which i think they're actually going to do it what happens with the smart contracts is it their job to innovate or to regulate it's not their job to make these different products that's the whole point of the free market system so if you're looking for things to get as far as cryptocurrency maybe a smart contract play is in your best interest now again on this channel this is uh investment opinion on investment advice but just something that kind of just came up to me and i'm like wow this could be one of those things where we're gonna need an oracle service we're gonna need some smart contract functionability and there's a lot of different ones that can actually do that which one will win will it be ethereum will it be tazos will be cardano will it be avalanche who knows maybe there's one for everyone but uh for every different aspect but i think this is the interesting thing and for them to say that it's just going to be like an easy type of deal i don't think it's that easy and i think that's why they are china working with a lot of different private industries in china which kind of works they're still not china they're still not private and bringing smart contract functionability we will see anyhow to finish this up and this is the laughable part anonymity for small value and traceable for high value the ecny follows the principle of anonymity for small value and traceable high value and attaches great importance to protecting personal information and privacy it aims to meet the public demand for anonymous small value payment service based on the risk features and information processing logic of the current electronic payment system i will let you comment below if you think that china really values anonymity and privacy especially in payments uh look even in america we think that you know well big brother's not or some people think big bro is not watching well it was so bad as far as like with facebook uh they shot down that libra project in a heartbeat because they said you can you can't even deal with our our private information and now you want our business or our our current monetary transactions you are out of your mind son so lastly meanwhile it is necessary to guard against the misuse of ecny in the legal and criminal activities such as telefraud internet gambling money laundering and tax evasion by making sure that transactions comply with blah blah blah okay so great so it sounds pretty good uh on half of this stuff the other half is i think nonsense let me know what you think in the comment section and let's break down to the last part the second last part of what brad garlinghouse said at the economic club of new york a couple years ago listen to this and tell me if this doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense as far as a digital dollar take a listen because i want to transition particularly for this audience of the economic club of new york uh china and other countries but specifically china china has completed a prototype i don't know if you all know this a prototype of a so-called china coin a digital currency i believe it's backed by the yuan it is and they are about to unleash their own network similar to you know what we're talking about here are we behind in that here in america i mean the fed is a skeptic when it comes to cryptocurrency yeah the president is a skeptic uh you have a lot of people who still don't quite understand it you know singapore which is considered a financial center of the world very forward thinking when it comes to technology that central banker has expressed a little bit of concern yeah so let's let's first understand like what stable coins are kind of uh central bank digital assets is kind of the way they're described is what the chinese government is doing is they are uh apparently going to launch a central bank digital asset uh i let's go back to the thing i said about starbucks earlier what problem are we solving so uh i look at the fed today and i'm sure there are bankers here in the window or in the audience and if you want to go and call on the fed for liquidity you go to the fed window you don't get cash you get digits in a ledger and so when you know like i'm jp morgan i go to the fed the fed's saying okay great here's some sort of ledger change it's already digitized so i've actually been a little bit of a skeptic that central bank digital assets do much that we don't already do today so you don't think the dollar should be tokenized it already is you think about it like how many people here like you look at your net worth statement on a bank account and like those are just digits you know yes you could go to the bank and get cash but frankly if you're asking for any more than a few thousand dollars you have to call in advance because they don't have the cash so most of your most of the us dollar is quote i mean you said tokenized i would say digitized there is a little bit of a difference but i think we always have to go back to what problem are we trying to solve if we're solving a problem or creating customer value then i think it's great the only argument i have seen around central bank digital assets is if they want to expand the fed window from serving a small number of regulated institutions to a mass audience if everybody here could go directly to the fed and have an account with the fed well that's kind of interesting now we just put the entire commercial banking business out of business that doesn't sound like a very good idea i'm feeling the room shivering [Laughter] so he's talking to a bunch of bankers right there and this is what i'm talking about as far as the only thing that changes is the wallet so if just like what brad talked about you know if you want to have that happen sure but what's the point of the banks because that's the whole that's the whole point of a jp morgan that's the whole point of it chase or wells fargo is so we can store it there but if we're just going up the window ourselves and you're going to give us a digital wallet first of all who's going to create that digital wallet is the us government are they going to innovate or regulate so that means that they're going to have to create this digital wallet and then what happens if that wallet goes down who are we going to call you going to call the 100 u.s government doesn't i just i i just don't get it so when you take a look at that you're like okay that kind of makes sense but then what really makes sense though is like we've talked about before with the digital you on so what china does is they didn't change too much but they changed the wallet now the wallet is the government even though they would say that oh no we have these private banks or anything else which i think will still be in play they'll still have that for loans or whatever else but as far as like that wallets well the wallet's owned by the government we don't like how you just protest and we don't like what you said in social media we don't like how you walked across the street guess what we're shutting down your wallet so good luck uh getting any money and then that's just how it goes that is a frightening scenario and i'm just not too keen on that um so that's what we have so anyhow let me know what you think about that in the comment section and let's uh finish up to our last piece here crazy for crypto is my man digital dave who has been great he's he's called a lot of winners i've listened to him for gosh over two years now and i also got guy from coin bureau and we're gonna do uh price predictions video and uh that'll be on tuesday the 20th at 7 p.m mountain time i don't know what it is wherever you're at but uh that's that's what it is because dave's in thailand and guy is over in uh uk or great better whatever wherever he's at and uh so we have a little bit of a conflict so guy i don't think he's gonna be able to make it if he doesn't uh he's gonna do a pre-recorded thing for us to talk about the price predictions dave should be good and uh that is it so uh one real one quick rule note is that we're not doing this on this channel in digital asset news we're doing on digitalize that news clips because over there there's something that happens when i do live streams on this channel it just kind of just messes up with the whole algorithm so i like to do them over there and keep things over there i like to separate and organize and that's what i'm going to do for all the live streams from now on is stick them over there unless it's some huge huge announcement like then i'll just go live real quick but it'll be over on dan clips the link is in the description uh you can go over there and follow us and we do a lot of different things as far as advancements in crypto and stuff like that so anyhow look that one a little bit long it is sunday so what else you know it's a rest day so uh hopefully you made all the way the end i appreciate it if you liked the video give it a thumbs up a like consider subscribing and uh that is it for today so thanks so much for stopping by appreciate it see you on the next one you |

OrCAXyYyf0s | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrCAXyYyf0s | Thoughts: Glorifying something that happens on a daily basis | [Music] hey a story lovers and welcome to the story dude show with your host Jared Dean Winchester bringing you a fresh set of episodes for the new year and speaking of new year happy New Year to you all of you storytellers and story lovers and I'd like to get this new year's episode started with a message to all of you now the whole point of me putting out this episode because I've seen this plenty of times happen in not only the film industry but also this TV business to not confuse glorification of anything as art because it ain't doing you any favors and if it did do you any favors like give you gratification it's only giving you gratification it's not resonating in your audience so stop it I'll give you a reason why first off I'll start by giving you my definition of what art is art for a lack of a better definition is something that resonates to in you and speaks to you in any way shape or form anything that does not do that but it's called art is nonsense as pure trash and I'll give you an example of something that has been glorified in the name of art and they do have a specific saying for that or an expression for this art for art's sake and for pete's sake stop doing it and I'll give you an example of this in not just Hollywood but in Bollywood and Hollywood as well which I grew up with I've seen plenty of films glorifying a relationship that happens every single day I've seen films that clora fight this relationships that fall apart relationship dramas and relationship creation when two people come together they fall in love they have fights during the course of their relationship and they pretty much get back together after a period of time has gone by they reconciliate there is nothing special about that but what filmmakers are doing is they're glorifying this so next time you see a film like this or next time you are thinking about making a film like this ask yourself what is the point and what is so special about that relationship now I would understand if the point of that relationship is so that one party or both parties benefit from it significantly benefit from it so for instance if a guy is falling in love with a girl it can't just be guys guy meets girl Godfather's loveable girl guy loses girl guy gets girl back no that is a standardized formula which needs to be awarded today at all frigging costs you have to ask yourself if you're going to do that what is the whole purpose are both these characters trying to learn something from being together if so what is it also calling their relationship or glorifying their relationship and calling it art does not help you in any way because if that does not resonate in any way shape or form in your audience it's useless you have to ask yourself does this happen every day and how many films do this how many films that have been produced thus far that do this and am i doing this because of my own personal beliefs so if you think of all these things and you answer yes to anything or no to all or yes to all then consider it if you said no to all don't do it if you considered yes to all or yes to some go ahead tell us what it is tell us what the message is and tell us what the purpose is but simply glorifying something that happens every day for the heck of it ain't doing it you any favors except giving you gratitude it's giving you some form of satisfaction while doing it and you will be inclined to repeat this shitty thing again and again and by shitty I mean the same thing again and again that is pointless don't take this as an attack on you the filmmaker or the storyteller or story lover take this as a challenge and if you are able to come up with a quality film of this sort go ahead and do it now there have been quality films in the past that had the boy meets girl scenario and they worked but I've seen a lot of films coming from a Bollywood it Hollywood background and or growing up with Bollywood in Hollywood I noticed that a lot of the films that did this I mean glorify something that happens every day I've seen this one too many times and it did not do the filmmaker any favours except all it did was it / versified their stance in other words it actually made them out to be perverts they have been demonstrating themselves as / as they've showed themselves as perverts they don't know it yet and they have done this to them selves so for the love of Zeus and for pete's sake don't glorify anything that happens on a regular basis anything that does not have a clear message or a purpose or a resonance of some sort within the audience so stop it you need to think about all these things as a storyteller so with that being said this is Jared Dean Winchester also known as the story dude please like comment and subscribe I post anywhere between two to three episodes of the story dude show every month so be sure to check all of them out and as always thanks for watching and I will catch you around for the next installment of the story dude show [Music] | The Story Dude |

and i'll sure pop in with the irish stuff real quick the uh uh why you know where did they come from if you were all saying it kind of started as what we know as a kilt it'll be like a great kilt where it's literally just a length of cloth laid on the floor that you hand pleat you lay down on your belt up and you roll around and tuck it in and off you go it was basically an all-purpose utility thing it was a sleeping bag it was a blanket it was pockets it was a hood it was you know whatever you needed it to be when you're out in the uh you know attending the sheep and you're miles from home or if you're out herding cattle or whatever you can't necessarily get home right away or you may have to sleep in the fields so that's what you had with you so it was a very utilitarian garment so if you're starting it there that's why the kilt came to be because they needed something and they didn't want to just carry a blanket and all these things they could just wear their wear their blanket where their house wear their jacket yeah basically yeah i think the the great kilt is primarily considered to be a scottish invention um the roots of it seem to be as best we can tell a common gaelic kind of a look which both the highlands in scotland in the middle ages and ireland possessed which was uh three basic garments the lane lania or some people say lane but i think it's lenia or lenia um trues which are the close fitting trouser kind of like tight-like pants and then the brat which is kind of a cloak so we know that in the 16th century there's evidence of one of the early in fact the probably earliest mention of scottish clothing which probably intimated a great kill was of scotch mercenaries going to fight in ireland and uh the written account talks about how they're dressed in something similar to what the irish were but not quite and they have these large uh cloaks that they belt around their bodies which is unusual and that's probably the first mention of a great kilt and that's from i think like 1520s the um but the linea um was basically a long tunic that's that is the the irish contribution to world clothing uh it was basically a long tunic it varied in length and style over the centuries but it was most famous as being the very long saffron colored tunic which went down to the knees sometimes below the knees towards the later period it had a lot more voluminous fabric in it to the point that they were actually pleating it up in the back um and it had these very very long sleeves kind of like if you think of like a a girl's princess costume dress with a really long pointy kind of sleeves that's actually historically actually goes back to a number of different fashions but fellainia had it these long sleeves more fabric showing off more style and more wealth probably um it seems that highland scots may be wearing a very similar outfit to that up through like the 15th century or so um and then for whatever reason the scots decided to do something a little bit different both these cultures seem to like to go bare-legged uh which i think is probably due to environmental conditions like mud and thistles and things where it's just easier to have your legs open so you could keep your legs clean and not having fabric clinging to them which i don't know if it was thistles i would think you'd want to wear your pants you're not getting scratched up yeah but if you're if you're fording rivers and streams on a regular basis maybe you wouldn't or if you're sweating a lot maybe you wouldn't i don't know how much you sweat in the highlands it's pretty cool it's you know i mean reasonably yeah i'm thinking more like water and things like that i think it's watering dry off yeah quicker i think yeah if you think about if you have brogues and bog shoes with all the holes and everything so the water can drain out i really think it's i think it's the water aspect it's more comfortable now my personal opinion is that the brat the the mantle that both areas wore but the irish were more famous for maybe that's what evolved into the great kilt like brats getting bigger and bigger and bigger and eventually some guy's like heck with it i'm going to belt this thing and i'm going to wrap it around myself a little differently that's that's my personal opinion um it's a slightly murky topic uh but the earliest evidence we have for the kilt the great kilt is that scottish 16th century um matt newsom as usual matt newsom has a really good article on this stuff on his website called albanoc and that's one place where i got my information from and i highly recommend you read it cool all right hopefully that's the question and there's evolution of the kilt beyond that time period in scotland that's pretty much entirely scottish yeah and then it's once it gets cut into the half kilt or fill a bag um which is effectively the tailored garment that we're wearing today um that is an entire its entire own evolution right um and touching quickly on the that came before you know that as a garment came before the irish half kill which was pretty much the saint edna's score and his school in the turn of the century with the gaelic revival and the the the inc or irish trying to be separate from the english kilt and and made it irish to basically flip off the english yep essentially yep and that's why the irish kilts early traditional irish kilts traditional meaning early 1900's were solid color and you still see saffron color and blue and green solid color kilts for the irish the irish tortons were invented in the mid 1990s hey folks and welcome to another art from the heart exclusive in this video you're going to get to see how we put together a very very special commission and this is somewhat of a more spiritual nature um and the the premise on this commission is it's gonna be full of sunset colors and then there'll be a and a lady that's in the side of a boat that's just touching the water and you're seeing the ripple effects that it has and this is something that you know if it's in a giant canvas like this we can do something really really special with so i wanted to give you a behind-the-scenes glimpse and look at how we put this one together so come on in and let's begin [Music] in [Music] adjusting to all that's new but this is taking longer than i could ever imagine it's been just over a year since i left you behind [Music] many dreams [Music] it's gonna take some time to realize [Music] so now that we've got all the basics down and everything we're going to leave this painting to dry we'll be back in a few minutes but before we do anything else let me show you how kilts are made each different tartan pattern or set is woven from criss-crossing coloured threads called the warp and the weft the warp runs lengthwise and it's jimmy hill's job to make it the warp threads must follow the exact sequence required to create the tartan that's been ordered up each bed has to go to the exact place of this pattern once jimmy has put each of the 240 colored yarns in the right order he threads them onto a revolving drum at the warping mill with all the threads tied in jimmy starts the mill the warp is perfectly sequenced but it's only half done to make a symmetrical pattern jimmy now has to complete the sequence by creating a mirror image to do this he cuts the threads and then rotates them to invert the pattern jimmy now has to join the two halves without getting in a tangle he repeats the process until he has a 2 meter wide 32 meter long strip jimmy's warp isn't yet cloth for that it needs the weft which runs sideways the thread is fed from this machine called a weft accumulator it must be kept at just the right tension the threads then pass through these weft selectors each arm controls a different color they work like keys on a piano a different tune means a different kind of tartan and they're told what to play by a central computer to make space for the incoming wet threads these shafts separate the warp thread meanwhile these warp droppers constantly monitor the threads if a warp dropper drops it means a thread has broken and the whole weaving machine slams to a holes every day this mill weaves 600 meters of tartan that's enough to make 82 traditional kilts but that's only a fraction of the material needed to clothe the millions of modern-day descendants of scotland's ancient clans [Music] wow why wasn't that exciting boys and girls well we've got a painting to finish so let's get on with the lady on the lake [Music] is [Music] oh [Music] is [Music] oh hi folks well i hope you really enjoyed this season of the artist that's it we're done we're finished hope you've really really enjoyed it and i'm filming i'm filming it's

you know kilts castles haggis we've taken around we've shown them scotland they've enjoyed it they loved it just just leave her that okay to two minutes guys what do we do [Music] hi hi folks okay uh my director is telling me that there is actually another episode there's a 13th episode in all seriousness though there originally was a thirteenth episode uh it was to feature loch lomond and it was to be the the ultimate special the finale for the artist art season three unfortunately that episode never materialized and the original footage has been lost but thanks to our good friends at youtube

bynK3pLwnpo | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bynK3pLwnpo | Bill Gates challenges AI moratorium | welcome back my friends to another social tech TV update my name is David Rover here once again at rt.com where they're letting us know that Bill Gates challenges AI moratorium and before I forget like share subscribe greatly appreciate it and don't forget to tap that little notification Bell so you get these updates when they drop oh I just said updates and we've got a picture of Bill Gates that's from the oh my eyes my eyes Department the m word Microsoft co-founder has a stake in one of the world's leading artificial intelligence companies now Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has broken with hundreds of AI researchers and Tech leaders and opposed a worldwide pause on the development of powerful artificial intelligence the software Tycoon told readers that he believed the technology would bring huge benefits now I don't think asking any one particular group to pause solves the challenges Gates told the Reuters on Tuesday a week after more than a thousand scientists researchers and Tech leaders signed an open letter demanding a six-month moratorium on giant AI experiments I don't really understand who they're saying um who they're saying could stop and um would every country in the world agree to stop and why to stop Gage continued clearly there's huge benefits to these things what we need to do is identify the tricky areas he added now the open letter whose signatories included Tesla CEO Elon Donald musk 2.0 yeah Donald Trump Elon Donald Trump 2.0 mask is like I preferring to him as an apple co-founder nerd Legend nerd God Steve Wozniak listed ai's potential to escape human control render jobs Obsolete and replace human beings as potential outcomes to its continued development other AI critics have gone further with machine intelligence Research Institute or Miri co-founder Eliza yukovsky warning last week that literally everyone on Earth will die if AI evolves to the point where it won't stay confined to computers I don't know what you feel about this but I do agree um I do agree with these guys here I'm not agreeing with Bill Gates Bill Gates to me always has an ulterior motive behind everything he does but that's just my opinion so you know I'm on the side of Bosley Wozniak and musk and um you know Eliza yadkowsky here but if you have a different opinion great drop a comment below the video I'd love to hear what you think it'd be fantastic now as I said six month moratorium let's take a step back take a breath let's see how we go should be interesting the letter explicitly recommends that AI Labs stop training their systems beyond the capabilities of open AIS and gpt4 language model which according to its creators can already outperform 90 of humans on a simulated bar exam and score in the 93rd percentile on an SAT reading exam now musk was an earlier financier an early financier of open Ai and has since turned skeptic while Gates was later to provide his backing but has emerged in AI evangelist now Microsoft partnered with open AI in 2019 and handed The Firm a billion dollars to build a human level Artificial Intelligence on its Azure cloud computing platform and the software giant announced another investment of up to 10 billion in open AI in January now the age of IA has begun Gates wrote in a blog post last month published a day before musk's letter AI will change the way we uh the way people work learn travel get health care and communicate with each other he continued claiming the technology will help teach disadvantaged children assist doctors working in poorer countries and fight climate change although he did not explain exactly how it would handle the latter task yes of course not now I'll leave the link to this article below this video as usual so if you want to pop in check any of the embedded links and um uh look at uh oh God good old Billy boys blog post yeah you might as well be going and to have a bit of a a deeper dive if you like and get a bit more context it should be quite interesting but um you know my thoughts on it I think we should step back have a little look see what we can see what needs necessary you know if necessary change direction but you know make sure that we don't let AI get out of hand because I know what human beings are like and it'll definitely happen if we don't watch what we're doing but again my opinion let me know your thoughts down in the comments I'd love to hear them all right well my name is David thanks for joining me for another social tech TV update I shall see you in the next one if you enjoyed this video please like share subscribe greatly appreciate you for up for it drop a comment below this video I'd love to hear what you think all right take care and as I always say if you can't be good be good at it see you in the next video where we'll catch up with some more science space and Tech news and we'll do it together all right be good if you can see you soon bye-bye fascinating foreign [Music] | Studio64 Podcasts | UCHQxQ6fc8bVXH8pewcCAoRA | 2023-04-05 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en |

BExXDeUmpkc | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BExXDeUmpkc | The Whole Christmas Story with Robbie the Church Dragon and the Athabasca United Church | welcome to our athabasca united church 2021 online christmas pageant this year we wanted to tell the whole story everything about christmas all together in one story well not everything about christmas uh [Music] what do you mean well we only want the parts of the story that come from the bible you know mary and joseph the angels the shepherds the wise men and baby oh dear oh oh dear oh oh jesus what do you mean oh dear well maybe i should have checked first but i added a whole bunch of other christmas stuff into the story too really like what hi i'm buddy the elf you're nobody not yet i'll never mind him uh you'll find out i already gave out all the parts and everyone is ready to go well i guess it'll be okay we'll just have to fix it as we go along let's get started okay great here we go let's get going once upon a time in the town of whoville whoville that's not right it should be bethlehem but first mary was visited by the ghost of christmas past that's me wait you're not a ghost you're an angel the ghost of christmas past is from a novel by charles dickens it has a really good message but it's not the story of jesus birth this should say mary was visited by an angel that's me the angel said to mary peace be with you god is with you and has greatly blessed you you will give birth to a son and you will name him jesus my name is mary when i heard this news i was afraid but the angel told me everything was going to be okay the angel said that my baby jesus was going to be the son of god and a king hi i'm joseph i had a dream too i was visited by the ghost of christmas present hold on that's not right either that's another ghost from that dickens novel you were visited by an angel too oh all right anyway in my dream the angel told me i should take mary to be my wife that she would have a baby boy and we should name him jesus hey that's my life i am an angel of the lord and i told joseph that he should take mary to be his wife and that she should have would have a baby boy and they should name him jesus right but before jesus was born mary and i had to make a long journey a very long journey a very long journey to whoville hi i'm cindy lou who and i'm cindy lou too we live in whoville whoville is located inside a snowflake just south of mount crumpet no no no that's not part of the jesus story that's from a dr seuss book how the grinch stole christmas oh the grinch the grinch is a nasty wasty skunk with a cute little dog named max yes but he's not supposed to be in this story and neither are you oh that's too bad we were doing so well the very long journey we took was to the city of bethlehem that's right bethlehem also called the city of david we had to travel there because the emperor ordered a census and everyone had to travel to their hometown it was a difficult journey and you'll never believe how we got there on a magical sleigh of course pulled by eight tiny reindeer now dasher now dancer now prancer and vixen whoa slow down santa where did you come from set up the north pole of course on comet on cupid on donner and blitzen i don't remember any of that happening no i think i would have remembered reindeer and a sleigh the truth is we had to walk the whole way with just a donkey for mary to ride robbie how did this get into the our play um yeah i've been doing some research it says here that santa was born about 400 years after jesus and his name was nicholas saint nicholas it's really quite a neat story but it isn't part of the story of jesus well well no well i know the real story about jesus because i was there that night i'm the innkeeper mary and joseph came knocking on my door asking if they could stay at the inn but i had no room for them what a fridge [Music] not so fast i wasn't finished yet even though i didn't have a room in the inn i told them i'd fix up a spot for them in the sable where i keep the animals and that's what he did you mean there were animals there yuck yes there were but they weren't so bad [Applause] jesus and when jesus was born we used a manger for his bed but wait we need some shepherds the shepherds are very important let me tell you the story of the shepherds no let me tell it i tell it better twas the night before christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouth there was a mouse there ink oh no i i said not even a mouse the stockings were hung by the chimney with care in hopes that saint nicholas soon would be there stockings that needs presents on the first day of christmas my true love gave to me [Music] um [Music] that's not the story of the shepherds at all that was a poem written about 1800 years after the birth of baby jesus this when the ghost of christmas future comes in no no ghosts that was a different story remember i think you're supposed to be one of the angels oh that's right i am an angel so as i was saying let me tell you the story of the shepherds i'll help you so we were out one night in the fields watching over our flock ah that's right watching over our sheep well that's what a flock is it it's a group of sheep and then out of nowhere all of a sudden we were surrounded by elves no reindeer now ghosts grinches oh angels oh they were amazing and they sang the most beautiful songs what songs frosty the snowman rudolph the red-nosed reindeer no there are beautiful songs about god i remember that now then the angel told us that we should go to bethlehem to see the amazing thing that god had done my exact words were fear not for behold i bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people for unto you is born this day in the city of david a savior which is christ the lord and this shall be assigned unto you you shall find the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger isn't that what linus said in the charlie brown christmas that's true but it is actually from the bible though the shepherds were shaking in your boots yep we were it's true and then we sang some more songs silver bells jingle bells did you know that every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings we sang glory to god in the highest and on earth peace good will towards spin that means after what and it wasn't in english either it was in aramaic just so you know when the angels left us we went to bethlehem and we found mary and joseph and the baby jesus just like the angels had said and now comes the good part i think jesus being born was the good part okay now comes the other good part the three kings and the presents presents some people say that we were the wise men other people say that we study the stars and other people say that we were kings or magi we saw a star rising in the east and we knew that it meant a very special king was being born so we followed the star we passed through the seven levels of the candy cane forest through a sea of poorly twirly gumdrops and then we walk through the lincoln tunnel no that's not what happened buddy you weren't there the other kings and i traveled all the way to bethlehem to find this newborn king and to worship him we brought him some special gifts too a toy train no none a stuffed animal an xbox 360. no candy cane a red rider bb gun no no no no no we brought him gold frankincense and myrrh special gifts for a special child did you put them under the christmas tree no cindy lou people didn't put up christmas trees back then that was hundreds of years later not even a charlie brown christmas tree no meanwhile there was an evil king in the land who was jealous of jesus the grinch [Music] no ebenezer scrooge who's that no the ghost of christmas past oh no for heaven's sakes it was king herod he tried to trick the magi into telling him where he could find jesus they went back to their own land by another road wow they were smarter than my smartphone i could have given them a ride on my sleigh no santa you're from a different story in this story there's no santa no reindeer no elves no ghosts no christmas trees you mean no xboxes no bb guns no candy canes no eggnog no ornaments no flashing christmas lights bummer but there was something even better than all of those things a tiny baby boy who would bring hope and peace and joy and love to all the world it was just like the angels told us fear not for behold i bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people for unto you is born this day in the city of david a savior which is christ the lord and this shall be assigned unto you you shall find the baby lying in a manger [Music] the end god bless us everyone it's a miracle on 34th street [Music] merry christmas charlie brown oh good grief you | Athabasca United Church | UCGOciyyHXKzVL_yF27AXy3Q | 2021-12-19 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 1,727 | 8,632

cuCdYz1zjmg | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuCdYz1zjmg | US Supreme Court Decision Compels Maine To Fund Religious Schools | u.s supreme court decision compels the state of maine to fund religious schools on june 21st the u.s supreme court ruled in favor of the two christian families that filed a lawsuit and subsequent appeal against the exclusion of religious institutions in maine's tuition assistance program maine is a rural state that is sparsely populated in several counties half of its school districts do not have public high schools so they established a school choice program long ago the program subsidized the average tuition cost for students admitted to a private school in districts with no public schools parents could use this program to send their children to a secular school or a religious school of their choice until 1981 when bit maine banned quote-unquote sectarian schools from the program since 1981 maine has prohibited families from using taxpayer funds from this school choice program to study at a private religious school or study at private religious schools in the new ruling of carson v mac machin the supreme court said that the system that maine had implemented was unconstitutional since according to the court the provision of the first amendment guarantees the freedom of religion something that the main system did not adhere to by paying tuition only for the students who did not go to religious schools the liberal justice sonia sotomayor stated quote today the court leads us to a place where separation of church and state becomes a constitutional violation i don't understand the argument for this why do they think this is okay we have religion we have gov taxpayer money funding school religious schools how is this not a violation of church and state separation do you understand what the argument is yes i and i'm going to read um a section from religious news service to explain the arguments because they will be it's put in a way that was very easy for me to understand so i'd like to repeat it for the audience um chief justice john roberts wrote for a conservative majority that the main program violates the constitution's protections of for religious freedoms quote means quote unquote non-sectarian requirement for its otherwise generally available tuition assistance payments violates the free exercise clause of the first amendment regardless of how the benefit and restriction are described the program operates to identify and exclude otherwise eligible schools on the basis of religious exercise roberts wrote the three liberal justices dissented quote this court continues to dismantle the wall of separation between church and state that the framers fought to build justice sonia sotomayor wrote justice stephen breyer noted in a separate dissent that maine quote wishes to provide children within the state with a secular public education this wish embodies in significant part the constitutional need to avoid spending public money to support what is essentially the teaching and practice of religion but roberts wrote that states are not obligated to subsidize private education once they do however they can't cut out religious schools he wrote echuing his opinion in a similar case from two years ago that happened in montana quote maine chose to allow some parents to direct state tuition payments to private schools a decision that was not forced upon it roberts wrote quoting sotomayor's dissent um did that help explain some of the arguments it makes no sense because okay so there's supposed to be a the argument is that since they're funding private schools they should also and they're not required to fund private schools since they're doing that they should also be able to fund religious schools this still doesn't i mean it's kind of saying like hey you are so for example if a government builds a building spends money taxpayer money to build to build a building that is not a religious building you're saying well since you spent money on make you know constructing a building that you didn't have to you should also be able to use taxpayer money to build like temples now like or mosques and churches like i mean this line i mean what's what is wouldn't that like destroy any barrier between church and state if you're saying like since you're doing a non-religious version of it you should also be able to do a religious version of it wouldn't that argument just destroy any barrier between church and state because you could use that argument for anything and you could all suddenly fund everything religious related so this ruling the like the broader impact of this ruling is more specific so the other states that will likely affect would be like the state of vermont that has a similar program so this is i i understand that it's specific but the line of reasoning that is being used here can be used to make the government do anything religious that it wants if the if the standard is since you're doing a non-religious version of it that you don't have to therefore that opens the door to you being able to do a religious version of it i'm just saying that this opens the door for floodgates to every the government being involved in anything religion related do you know what i mean i can use that anywhere this line of reasoning i understand that this is specific but the line of reasoning it just doesn't make any sense to me at least yeah i don't i don't like know enough of the legal minutia to be able to say yes that is like a line of reasoning that could be applied elsewhere or not um but so there's some statements by um an organization which is fantastic to support called americans united for the church separation of church and state really great secular organization um and so i want to read some of the statement that their ceo um rachel laver i think that's how you say her name put out um so uh they said quote the court is forcing taxpayers to fund religious education um here the court has violated its founding principle by requiring maine to tax citizens to fund religious schools far from honoring religious freedom this decision tramples on the religious freedom of everyone worse the court has opened the doors to government-enforced tithing an invitation religious extremists will not ignore so that kind of ties into what you're saying um the court's ultra conservative bloc argued that refusing to tax citizens to fund religion is discrimination against religion it's nothing less than gaslighting to cloak this assault on our constitution in the language of nondiscrimination if the conservative justices were concerned with discrimination they would not have issued this opinion because it forces taxpayers to fund two religious schools that discriminate against lgbt families one barring their admission and the other forcing them to undergo counseling and renounce their sexual orientation or gender identity or be expelled one's school's stated educational objective is to quote refute the teachings of the islamic religion and the truth with the truth of god's word and now muslim taxpayers will be forced to fund that school this court appears to be concerned with discrimination only when conservative christians make the claim and often as here in cases in ways that further discrimination um yeah so i'll just leave it there with that excitement it's i just it's just so bizarre like religious freedom means that the government can use taxpayer money to fund religious schools i mean religious freedom religious freedom is mostly the idea of government staying out of religious affairs not getting in their way like letting that means the government like if you want to practice your religion as long as you're not violating any laws if government doesn't get in your way then your religious freedom is being recognized it doesn't require to government to fund you for your religious freedom to be recognized it makes no sense so here's kind of the idea behind it so the state of maine has an obligation to educate all children this is just a fact of being in america you are obligated by law to give a free education to children so they have that obligation however they are so sparsely populated that they cannot set up school systems in some areas so so as to not violate their own obligations they said okay you do not have access to any public education in your area so what we'll do is we will basically give you almost it's not exactly vouchers but we'll give you money to subsidize their education to make up for the fact that we cannot provide it to you for free okay yeah this is kind of this is the background so they people who like this opinion are making the argument that the government has an obligation to give these families who do not have school districts available to them this money and what they choose to do with that money should be their own free choice they give an example like if you get a social security check as part of your benefits or a stimulus check and you decide to use that money because that's taxpayer money that stimulus check is taxpayer money and if you decide to go spend that money and donate it to a church that's not a violation of church state separation but you are technically using taxpayer funds to do so and it's part of your free choice the government has an obligation based on the program that they opted to set up to give you these funds and suddenly they're saying no we're not going to allow you to exert your free choice into how you spend this money you're saying you can you cannot do it on the basis of it being a religious school so they're saying that that is discrimination there's a difference okay so for example the money that the government gave you as like the you know covet package or release whatever you call it that's for you to spend whatever you want that's just money that is being released for whatever okay this is money specifically being released for education to meet the government standards of education you know what i mean so there are certain children should be educated to a certain level okay there's needs they need to know math they need to know how to read and write this money is supposed to be used on that that's what this money is being used if this money is used on anything else but then getting kids to that level education level that's a violation of what the purpose of that money was if the money that the government has set for education okay is all of a sudden used on telling kids about jesus that's a violation of the government church and state separation okay if you have a general release of cash in the system right to to pump the economy okay that's the economy it could be it could be spent on anything but money set for education needs to be spent on education not on jesus stuff you know what we need what satanic schools that's what other people are saying live chat time for satanic temple university yeah we need that one up now i don't know we need satanic schools in that state so and they need to apply for government funding asap just to show the point of secularism you know if we co if we keep doing this at some point like satan you know the satanic temple might become like a leading religion in the united states because like we're opening the floodgates of money yeah with with laws and you know with legal favoritism and all these fundings to religions in united states you know maybe if you look if you had the crystal ball and like 100 years from now you would like the the number one religion in the united states would be the satellite temple if you keep going this way but anyways this is dangerous because now we are we have a legal precedent for the taxpayer money to be spent on religious education okay and since that that isn't the law now this could you know i don't know i'm not i don't know what's going to happen but this is this could be it really this is the future the future circumstances to be clear i know i know but when there are other decisions are being made they usually use decisions made in past cases as a reference you know what i mean so even if this is a specific situation it will it will set a precedent for future decisions okay so i'm just saying that if united states which is the world superpower and with all the money that he has access to all of a sudden starts brainwashing of children you know religious brainwashing of children this is the future of the country there's nothing there are a few things that are as important as the type of education that children are getting like when it comes to where the direction of a country you know what direction a country is heading one of the main ways you can control it is what are how what are children's are what are children being exposed to okay and so this is this should be very alarming in my opinion yeah so um erican has some comments saying either have enough public secular schools or have to fund any and all schools as they don't have a sufficient number of public secular schools they'll end up having to fund any in all schools if they had a sufficient public secular school system that could accommodate all students then they could have ceased funding religious schools that's basically the principle of it you understood very well so here's the thing maine the state of maine or any other state that has any program that subsidizes private education to some extent they can avoid this issue of um you know if if they this church state violation they can avoid this entirely if they beef up their public school system to be able to provide that to all students but so basically so this standard is saying as long as you are funding or allowing the state is giving subsidies to private education in any way shape or form the state cannot say what kind of school it goes to and so this this could be fixed by the state of maine you know um improving school transportation so kids from farther away can go to public schools or by doing programs for a combination of remote learning or building or you know building the infrastructure of school districts so they don't have to do this they could fix this but it would just take time um so in a way that's kind of like positive i haven't you know this isn't like set in stone there are ways to avoid funding public religious education they just have to build a better system and then so they no longer have to fund private schools and then they don't have to fund religious schools okay even but even if they did that the fact that we have this in writing like let's say for example they managed to fix all of this okay and they have so many schools that religious schools are not required and there's not a single religious school in maine that is funded by taxpayer money you think like oh great crisis averted no crisis is not averted because we have it in writing right now that this is okay so the fact that we have this as a precedent is already major damage that's what i'm telling you anyways i have an instagram post here do you want me to show that oh yeah this was a post from andrew seidel which was fantastic um for those who don't know andrew seidel is a constitutional lawyer that works with the freedom from religion foundation and um very smart guy so wait can you start it over from the beginning though yeah there's no there's no way for instagram to unless you do that you have to just wait no no wait it just can you refresh the page and then it'll restart you know i'm gonna do this and then hit and then hit refresh look like that that's what i'm gonna do oh no supreme court is gaslighting america it just decided a case out of maine carson versus macon and it turned religious freedom on its head it's said that religious freedom requires taxpayers to fund religious indoctrination and education religious freedom has long meant that the government cannot tax you take your money and give it to religious schools and churches no government enforced tithing that kind of thing and that's the principle that it's turned on its head and it did so with gaslighting truly the court claimed to it claimed that was preventing discrimination against these religious schools these christian schools but the christian schools the schools that issue in this case are themselves discriminating against lgbtq students against non-christian students go read the records some really awful horrible things that they were doing so if discrimination was the issue we wouldn't be trying to send money to these schools in the first place it's really difficult to overstate how drastic a departure this is from how we have understood the first amendment and religious freedom in america since the founding this is a big deal and you should all be worried gaslighting the u.s supreme court is gassed yeah so go ahead no okay so i just want to point out how uh this man is a constitutional lawyer and we had i didn't listen to it before i heard before my commentary and apparently our commentary was as good as a constitutional lawyer so oh my god i'm glad i'm glad that i saved you know a lot of money um because um i'm becoming educated like that because apparently we're just so good that we had just we don't need it we're as good as an educated lawyer on these topics so just want to congratulations i will never you know deign to compare myself to the knowledge of andrew seidel because he's a very admirable man but oh my god anyway i just want to point that out d d is making an important point saying andrew predicted all of this yes andrew seidel has been sounding the alarm on the issues with the supreme court for a long time and so i will boost the message that he's always saying because this also ties this was a huge decision this week this ties into the issues with roe v wade which we'll get into in greater depth at a later point the only way the only way to fix these issues that of these rulings coming down from this ultra conservative supreme court the only way to fix this is to expand the due to expand the judiciary it's the only way so we need to get organized around politicians who will actually push to expand the judiciary because otherwise we're gonna be stuck with this um and yeah so like in terms of you know these big supreme court decisions that have been happening this week like my dad asked me he's like oh are you gonna go to any protests and i was like honestly no i don't think it's useful like it's good to have a good visual of the show of force but it won't actually do anything what will do something is expanding the judiciary so go support organizations like americans united for a separation of church and state freedom from religion foundation uh american atheists all three of these organizations are really at the forefront of utilizing the law to protect secularism in the united states um and also i'm gonna do some work into looking into who is doing the work of organizing and promoting expanding the judiciary um because you know we can we actually need to like push politicians to do this instead of biden being like you know maybe think about it like no we need we need to step things up in a major major way um enough leftist infighting over getting cancelled over the slightest little thing wait look wait wait wait actually that's a very good point that's a very very good point okay we need to find every single person every single leftist okay who said what you know hillary as because we didn't have bernie which you know hillary is just as bad as trump it doesn't make any difference and bernie or all the burn your boss people okay because this is on them this is jimmy dore this is on every single leftist that encourage people not to vote for hillary because we need to show the democrats that if you don't pick our candidates then you're not going to have our support okay the climate is suffering because of you trans people are suffering because of you gay people are suffering because of you and now women are suffering because of you and you call yourself a leftist a leftist that has made a world a much worse place especially on the things that leftists are supposed to be caring about lgbt issues environmental issues and women issues you screwed them all by being a bernie or buster by not voting for hillary none of this would happen we are gonna unite americans are gonna pay for decades decades to come because of your supreme court every single woman suffering because of this every single poor woman in america who's going to be suffering because of the judges that trump picked it's on you it's on you who didn't vote for hillary and it's not just americans because of the climate issues the world is now going to be suffering and it's on you because you didn't go and vote for hillary so good job this is what being a leftist gets you yeah and people are saying what's so good what's so great about hillary nothing nothing what's the point not much except she wouldn't be picking these judges that is screwing over every single american yeah that we're going to be stuck with for decades and decades and decades yeah well good job some people actually avoided further um i did didn't like it but i did it yeah good the fact that you didn't like it but you did means that you understand what the you know you you're not supposed to like

LZriQx0WdXc | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZriQx0WdXc | Alex and Jim Analyze Billy Joel Lyrics: Episode 73 Flowers | hey y'all oh Miley Cyrus huh I get it it's episode 72 of Alex and Jim normally analyze Billy Joel lyrics weird it's normally yes and now we're going off topic but on purpose yes we're yeah that's that is on that is very not what we do yeah it's and it's weird because we'll probably it's so we're intentionally going off topic which means we'll probably stay on the off topic pretty well oh interesting that that'll be the other take yeah so we're swerving back onto the freeway right or normally we would just take out mailboxes for 45 minutes a quick little bit of business I want to share with you all right that we keep getting comments on our YouTube videos and it's more or less the same guy and uh but not always it's some other people too and I think this is the same guy who made me feel bad no I don't like that guy but he's I think he's just a joker because he says nice things and and it was this latest comment he said I think it's pretty clear I'm on a very slow binge of your show and that's a nice thing to say great I wouldn't recommend a fast binge no well God man yeah you die right she can't be awake that long there's a lot of hours to muscle through and uh in one of his recent comments he said he's warming up to my energy that's the year a Slow Burn do that with everybody nobody likes me the first time they meet me I didn't like you no and you were probably right not too because I'm an odd duck yeah you came in hot yeah it came in hot yep doing uh forky doing forkia well first time I met Alex I did a character at a Bennigan's and the character was Forkey and he was uh two forks that chapped yeah but also real needy Porky's needy in your space yeah oh and it was because I immediately liked you that's all now I can get that yeah at the time it's like oh this man wants me to hit him trying to get me to hit him well listen two things can be true Fair yeah so I had this idea that and I mentioned it in an earlier episode I had an idea that I wanted to do and I find it funny to call it a bottle episode yeah just because you know how expensive our regular episodes are this is a bottle episode great this is how we can afford the rest of the season that's right and I thought I mentioned earlier that at some point maybe it would be fun to talk about a different artist and uh Alex is good in game and and then this time I pulled the trigger and but I was good about it because I've learned to be better about asking hey are you okay with this rather than just forcing it on somebody so I wanted to talk about Miley Cyrus because of her new tune which we'll talk about in a minute which is flowers yeah quick question you like the song I like the song I feel like it's a very uh average uh Bop yeah like it was super special so I'm very interested to find out why uh you wanted to drive off the road for this one but it seemed to me it sounds a lot like a lot of current pop songs it definitely does her voice is always great yeah I'm thematically very interesting um I my theory is you like the video uh I will say this Miley Cyrus in a video much more enjoyable than Billy Joel in the video very very fair unless you count uh his terrible acting during like speaking parts that is pretty good entertaining that is effing great um I wanted to also I thought of a way to compare Miley Cyrus to Billy Joel um over the course of her music not just one song it occurred to me and maybe it's just simply true of all singers but I don't think it is probably really true of country singers and she definitely has some country flavor yeah and it's for sure true of musical theater Billy Joel which is they play characters yes and I was listening to a lot of Miley Cyrus this week and Matt was like man she does kind of play a lot of characters she does a song with Joan Jett where she's just a unrepentant vamp and she and I'm certainly a lot of Lady singers have to play this part I presume but they will play the part of the like sultry seductress who can't be trusted and then there'll be a song later where they're the ones who got the crap beat out of their faithful heart which is kind of funny just just because it'll be on the Same album and I'm like yeah and those albums are a real roller coaster yeah and that occurred to me and then the other thing that I find found interesting and I had to look it up I noticed multiple songs where she talks about a house burning down oh there are multiple songs where she talks about a house fire as a uh um analogy to a problem yeah as an analogy for a circumstance and I couldn't remember because I remember Drew Barrymore's house burned down but I was like did Miley Cyrus's house ever burn down yes it did it really yes it did and so I did more research than I would normally do she uh her and Liam's house burned down wow so when she talks about that it's not just poetic it's also an observation of a thing that can happen to houses it's so deeply personal and yet still kind of a hacky metaphor right which isn't that very Billy Joel yeah it's like no it actually happened but it still sounds I'm I made it sound hacky I had this uh Epiphany one time and because a friend of mine was talking about a baseball movie and he said he hated the baseball movie because it was such a cliche and I saw the movie I can't remember what it was it might have been the Jackie Robinson movie and I and I remember watching it and going well he's right that this is a cliche but also this is what happened yeah sometimes a lot of movies I feel like get hamstrung by uh reality or it's like you know the old expression about you know oh if you made a movie out of this they wouldn't believe it yeah yeah you did and we don't yep um yeah here's what my observation is hey if you think this movie's cliche you should check out life right it all ends the damn same yeah and a lot of stuff happens that is uh corny dude four of my friends right now including myself so I guess three of my friends because I covered myself um but four people three of your friends and one of their friends and one of their friends are going through the exact same circumstance with an old friend different old friend uh-huh and I happen to be confabbing with them and going why are we all doing this and then it occurred to me oh we've hit that Milestone yeah every time one of your dumb Friends has a kid three or four or five of your other Dumb Friends have a kid yeah and if you don't have a kid you're one of three or five of your dumb Friends who decided not to have kids none of it's original no God the thing this ongoing striving to be original and you'd always just end up in a different hacky storyline yep it's just the same experience and filtered through you of course it's your own original to you right but that makes it worse yeah yeah so I like Miley Cyrus and I keep telling myself that it's because she's very talented she is very talented he's very talented and she has very cool voice for sure interesting voice right yeah always whatever kicking Voice is pretty compelling yeah I was explaining to someone one of the things I like about her voice is that it's a very powerful voice but she doesn't have a high register she has more of a Husky register oh very low unique in pop music particularly for ladies very much like in the vein of like a Joan Jett except that I would say that uh Miley's voice is rounder there's just more there uh love JoJo they're not a knock I'm just saying it's an incredible instrument yeah yeah I think she has the uh the Malcolm Gladwell 10 000 hours thing where she was been singing since she was a little kid yeah probably with a ton of instruction yeah kinds and uh just knows how it works yeah use what she has and not try to be like someone else yeah she's deep inside her own experience and uh wonderful ability to do covers I think about the best in the business because doing covers I think is tough to do it in any way that feels meaningful or you know even useful because or even yeah different enough to be worth doing yeah and to have the um cojones to do Jolene odd mother song and to do the hell out of it right my only complaint but this was true of Dolly Parton too when I listen to that song I would I go I know you're doing a character but there's no dude choosing any lady over you that's not happening but but that's not your fault there's but there's no one who's hooking up with Miley Cyrus going yeah but I ain't do better you're not doing it does not happening yeah although it probably does happen oh yeah yeah certainly it happened to Dolly Parton um based on a true story oh my God who's that [ __ ] well I guess you know what had happened to Gwen Stefani in her band and that guy later talked about feeling like an idiot and I'm like okay well I guess yeah yeah I mean we are idiots that's true a lot of people will mostly women but also some men will happily tell you yeah and are idiots so I will say listen I've always said I like Miley Cyrus because she's so talented and then my wife said you like Miley Cyrus because she seems like attainable white trash wow well yeah and I'm like well I'm bothered by your rightness dear um attainable is never a word I would no I think she keeps saying in my imagination I think words that occupies that spot right because Miley Cyrus in my imagination is five foot four and if you meet him in real life they're like what are you six nine or whatever she is I don't think she's six nine but she's a tall drink of water not a good giant yeah yeah yeah but like people on TV you're like oh you met Miley Cyrus I would go oh right right oh also I'm really old okay never mind never nothing would Delight her less than the two of us talking about her yeah oh yeah you wanna do you like early dinners she probably does because then there's more time for the clip right yeah um your first half of the evening date yeah before things get good and I go to bed uh yeah um the other thing no I said this last time I feel like she drives the bus and I like that I do really like that agree you like that and do you agree that she does that oh for sure okay that's what I was saying like attainable doesn't come to mind I feel like she's scary yeah yeah I here's what you know about me though the more I think somebody would be bothered by my nattering I'd go oh man I'm gonna have a conversation oh yeah she would Porky would make an appearance oh yeah I really like your covers I feel so talented yeah and yeah and she records a song called fu40 and I'm like oh man um yeah I'm famous the other thing she does a lot in her music is she sure does sing a lot about getting high that's pretty funny it was pretty funny a lot I will say I don't know a lot of her music I did watch her New Year's Eve special it was great because of course we went to dinner at 5 30 and came home and then we're like whoa well I guess we'll watch the special when does it start three hours from now all right uh and it was great it was you know we're making Paris Hilton saying and and visibly cracking up at how bad her singing was yes absolutely she did a Christmas special that was great to yeah yeah and she's like Lady Gaga I like that she's very good for the uh you know the gay community she's very a good advocate for justice of all kinds which is nice yep and strong lady and lots of messaging about how uh women get to be strong yeah and uh like it does seem like um she is not worried about what anyone thinks yeah in a true sense yeah actually true but it's she's very very good at conveying that yeah New Year's Eve special was a [ __ ] mess whatever yeah yeah I liked that I like yeah she's not a perfectionist which is kind of nice because there's there's something to be said for raw or obviously you don't want it to be garbage but but also somebody being over committed to Perfection then you end up perfecting your way out of Art we are on our show when we have musicians on they will do their little song in front of the audience and then we will give them the option to do it again if they're not happy with how it went and almost everyone says no to that they're like oh no fine it was fine you know uh and we are getting very good backstage at predicting who will say yes yeah again and it's always the people who treated everybody the worst all day long [ __ ] and then they're like it comes out of I guess out of insecurity yeah the moral of that story I guess but you you just know when they're like uh or can we get more cell service in here uh where's the bathroom they're just bothering people and like they're like Hangers On we'll try to get our hair stylists to work on them you're you're not in the band always they the vibe is always spread evenly throughout the whole Posse whenever we have music on it's like they come with 15 or 20 people every time yeah no matter who it is I think that's probably a record company thing there's always record company Jags who are there um and it's the worst I'm so happy when there's not a musical guest and it's just like some [ __ ] comedian in corduroys and you're like great some one other person uh usually somebody we know like oh great hi Pam so much better that's really cool yeah what was uh I I won't have you tell a bad storybook favorite musical guest that you've gotten to see on Seth's show oh gosh that's a good question we've had quite a few you know who really liked is we were the first show to have Iggy Azalea on but it was great and we're like this ladies she was really nice and very cool and we're like the song is kind of a Bop and then like for the ensuing years we're like oh no she has turned into a joke yeah um that's really cool when she was there did I think she was so happy to finally be on TV we we have a lot of people doing their very first appearance for sure I don't understand how she turned into a joke I understand how she turned into we don't have to take you too serious I think it was a lot of like oh look at this a white lady is rapping sir we don't care for that and here in the rapping Community right so appropriation appropriation I don't know if she was good at it or not I I'm not clearly the person to ask about could rap but aren't you because I to me I'm like did you like it yeah well there is a uh there's the question of whether or not you'd like something and then the question of whether or not it's good yeah so that became separate things so I have off and on in my professional life as a person trying to make a living uh operated as a Stan in sommelier yeah because I do know quite a bit about wine but I'm not really Somalia I didn't go to classes and I didn't do extensive amount of research I just did enough to pass yeah and I came up with this thing that I like to say to people on how you can tell if a wine is good and I'll tell you how you can tell if a wine is good did you like it right that's a pretty good wine yeah I feel like the best wine I ever had was uh in Chicago when you go to Greektown yeah um there's like five or six restaurants and inevitably you have to wait in some kind of weird line or there's a little waiting area and they'll come around and they'll pour you glasses of this stuff called roditis okay it's very light it's almost fruit bunch and it's it's so tasty I'm like this is my favorite wine and I know it's [ __ ] garbage wine that cost four dollars a bottle and I don't care yeah it's lovely and then the other one is the Portuguese green wine oh yes like you can't wait Sue always says you can't spend twenty dollars on a bottle because it's just dirt cheap but it's so good like yeah those are the best wines yep absolutely and I will tell you what I've had somebody and then we'll get back on topic because we're supposed to stay on topic today very close uh I've had wines that were 100 bucks 120 bucks I've had a 500 wine yeah and sometimes what happens is this is this nice old wine that turned yeah yep and then so long 100 and uh you're not gonna finish it I I had a bottle of Dom Perignon that I saved and saved and brought to a New Year's party and was very proud of myself and poured it for everybody and I was like oh this went bad yep and I for a while I thought I'm like oh maybe I'm just not good at drinking an expensive champagne and I was like I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to taste bad yeah very you know worst case scenario you can't tell the difference yeah well the funny thing too is you're a reasonably sophisticated fella but you're not Mr fancy and I guarantee at some point the temperature of wherever you kept that bottling up and down and up and down yeah definitely I've moved twice while I had it probably and it was in a cardboard box and yeah I've had wines like that too and realized I'm not qualified yeah like dying I'm just not qualified to do it yep that's why bourbon because you can't mess that up yeah I'm not qualified to collect Comics I realized a while ago I'm like I'm gonna call it I don't collect stuff because I am not responsible enough to own a thing now and have it be just as good later right I'm gonna Bend anything you give me that's right um so let's talk about flowers uh right it is I think a very pretty song and I'll tell you one thing I also like about the very beginning let's talk about the music I like this about Miley Cyrus Miley Cyrus can do a pop song and still her country bleeds through she is country in every MF and thing she I don't care if she's talking about doing Molly she's a country girl talking about doing Molly yes that twang is not artificial that way of speaking is who she is and it just comes through and I like that yeah it definitely you can you know if you're listening to her versus a Katy Perry or something yeah yep there it is um which is great yeah and it's uh speaks to a truth about people in that industry it's like they don't they weren't all born in LA in a lab yep well and I'll use Taylor Swift as an example another person I respect and like but if Taylor Swift does a pop song she shaves uh she saves the way the country for the pop song she just does that she sings just a very nice song but she sings it in a very kind of milk toast kind of just way again I like her I think she's a very good writer but just musically she doesn't always move me I just have a great deal of respect for her right but whereas with Miley you know though this is a country girl yeah this is a girl who had a fist fight or two in her day who was has been willing to stand up for herself and has this is a girl who I think could fix a Truck Yeah has terrible tattoos yes which is great yeah and she's just like okay I'm getting sing your pop song but it's gonna sound like me yeah yeah okay and that's what it should be it should sound lovely like it should sound like whoever the hell you are and by the way I'm looking at a picture of her and you're not wrong she's got some dumb tattoos yeah great yeah so all right so I'll start out uh we were good we were gold kind of dream that can't be sold and by the way sold listen to that that's the way a country girl says sold sold we were right till we weren't I really like that lyric built a home and watched it burn which is what made me look that up based on a true story yeah we were good we were gold kind of dream that can't be sold we were right till we weren't home and watched it burn I like that lyric a lot I really do um I like that it's right away about something beautiful that was clearly tainted and from kind of broken out of the box as they say when you get a little a new toy as a kid and you're like uh oh yeah mom got me something broken yeah um I like that it tells a very full story in four lines yeah it's very economical and kind of signals to you that like this now but the song's about however you need to know this yeah this is the the setup don't get attached to this story yeah this is the uh part about the uh friend he used to be real close to it's just real quick this is the story gotta you know yeah yeah absolutely you're right this is uh just know this part to get into the important part yeah that's uh very smart yeah I get that yeah it's like when you're telling a story about some friend of yours and you're like all right first you have to know that this guy is like 300 pounds and uh you can't read now let me tell you the story okay that's all I need no extra details just the ones you need right to process the anecdote someday I should learn to tell a story that way [Laughter] Andy sorry about me just know Jim talks too much it's the opposite of this podcast right oh all right it's uh it's you now uh hmm I didn't want to leave you I didn't want to lie started to cry but then I remembered I it's a nice little place for a weird rhyme yeah um I like to I didn't want to leave you I didn't want to lie yeah well since I couldn't lie I did have to leave you yes yeah and that's pretty great a pretty well man that's it feels like if it feels very confessional in a way too which is clearly I had a problem whatever it was and if the problem was I couldn't be me with you or the problem was I did a bad thing I don't know either one but regardless huh it doesn't matter yeah when it wasn't because that's not part you don't need that part yeah you understand the rest of the story but the bottom line here is I really would have liked to stay with you yeah like that sentiment uh it's a breakup story uh in a pop song where the woman initiated the breakup yeah and it's Which is less common I think probably more common than it used to be sure but less I think and then also what was my point uh unique brain fog yeah uh you were starting to talk about how unique it is that it's a woman initiating the breakup in a song breakup the you know if it wasn't the rest of the song would sound like a Revenge plot and it doesn't it comes off differently yes because it's not like I'm gonna do all these things to get back at you it's just like oh I'm just gonna take care of myself yes oh my God that's a great observation you're right because you're right you set it up this way it's positive you do it the old country way then you're you know then you're putting your keys in his car in you know you're key in his car like in that other song yeah oh yeah that's great um do you want to do the the chorus first okay I can buy myself flowers write my name in the sand talk to myself for hours say things you don't understand I can take myself dancing and I can hold my own hand yeah I can love me better than you can now I wanna I'm gonna share an observation a friend of mine made about this song which is he said I like the song fine except I don't like the whole my own hand because uh you can't that's terrible try it it doesn't there's not remotely you physically you can yeah it's a different vibe but it's not comforting and it's very funny because this friend of mine is a a hardcore literalist just the way he hears things he can't help but do things literally and he's like yeah you can buy yourself flowers but it's not as nice as when somebody buys them for you yeah that's not really what the song is about but exactly the point is like it I mean that sort of goes hand in hand with what she's saying I think it's like I can do all that [ __ ] I can do yep [ __ ] you did for me the thing I needed from you you weren't giving me yeah see that's where what he was missing yeah you're absolutely right it's like all of this stuff sure you did a lot of performative Romance yeah I didn't need you to buy me flowers I needed you to love me properly yeah let me be myself and I'm in I'm assuming that because that is the theme of most of Miley's songs is just let me be myself so I bet you that's what it was yeah um yeah and all those big and it really does speak to if you're in a relationship all the big things you do come down to being nothing if you can't do the important day-to-day stuff yeah I said this before there was a girl that I wrote poetry for and she loved the Poetry until she didn't yeah and uh the joke I used to say was you know what women like is like when you write them a poem you know what women don't like when you write them 17 poems yep but it's the same thing like it's nice if you write the poem but here's what's also nice see me as an individual yeah listen to my problem and don't tell me how to fix it yeah um Etc whatever else people do when they love somebody yeah I'd imagine yeah um great oh there's sort of another little can love me better I can love me better baby getting a lot better I can love me better baby I mean that's the point right there she's like look I can love myself better than you also I like that it's better than you can yeah when you did it's like oh no you literally weren't capable of this stuff you know what you're right it doesn't necessarily even assign blame as much as it's acknowledging a reality yeah yeah there's a lot of it's a strangely positive in a wonderful way for a breakup song yeah that's very aware yeah it's very modern it's definitely a very modern woman taking charge of her own happiness yep it's not you did me wrong it's like you just didn't know how to do it right yeah and maybe I don't need you to maybe I can be me with me yeah I like this next lyric and I will say partly I really like the way she sings this because it's a her little guttural thing that low husky thing this lyric is just perfect for her voice paint my nails cherry red listen to the song and the way she says Jerry red oh my goodness oh smash the roses that you left like that a lot paint my nails cherry red match the roses that you left No Remorse no regret I forgive every word you said yep clean slate releasing you funny how there really isn't anything you would have to assume negative things about whoever she's talking about well you know what she's talking about but uh but you would have to assume the negative because it's not in the lyrics yep she's not it isn't it doesn't feel like airing Dirty Laundry it doesn't feel like that which is fine too when people do that but I release you yeah so it's you and isn't it true probably more I release me yeah right yeah I like that I just really like that lyric and we must confess as we close in on the end there aren't a lot of lyrics to this song I didn't want to leave you baby I didn't want to fight I like that can I jump on yours I'm sorry was that supposed no no please go started to cry but then remembered I could buy myself flowers again my name in the sand again talk to myself for hours well then maybe you're crazy just by that part I'll get myself for hours say things you don't understand well yeah that's true of anybody we see talking to themselves I can take myself dancing now that is a hardcore truth about anybody particularly women who like to go dancing who realize oh I could just go out yeah go get dancing with my girlfriends and not be bothered I can hold my own hand yeah I can love you better than you can I don't think there's much more lyrics here either it's a lot of repetition yeah it's a it is a good little Bop right yeah that's how you described it and I think that's quite true um is there any other lyrics in here that are unique or is it all just repetition so funny because I was looking at some other Miley Cyrus songs and there's some that have a [ __ ] ton of lyrics this tastes like one of them yeah this is just I think you know made her Point real quick and it's a it's a freedom Anthem right it's a freedom Anthem it's uh yeah it's an empowerment you know handsome I think it's also a nice little Ode to uh the conscious uncoupling this just isn't it yeah yeah in the video is fantastic of course musically by the way note that it has what I like is it has an ending yeah that's always lovely it finishes proper it doesn't do a dumb Fade Out it has a nice finish to it do you have this album I don't uh I'm wondering what the rest of it is like I don't have it so I'm such a get my music other ways and um and I may get it I may actually get it on vinyl if it's available because I have a proper um record player now fantastic and I I do enjoy the records the problem with records and why they're still they're never going to completely come back is you can love the sound of a record but what you love better is not needing as much Furniture to keep your crap in yes yeah it's true unless you're lucky enough to have lots of leftover space yeah so even in this lovely apartment in New York I don't have a place to put a record player and if you like records once you've bought 10 records just 10 you're like Jesus this takes a lot of space yeah and they're very easy to damage yeah um and it looks cool I guess the sound is different and I never believed that because I always felt that that was a hipster bit of nonsense right having not heard a record in a long time when I put it on now Grant and I was listening to Beatles on vinyl yeah so I'm listening to some of the best musicians and best songwriting ever so I don't I doubt it's true for everybody I don't need necessarily think you need to listen to say Iggy Azalea on well listening to it is being surrounded by it and realizing that you're a prince is a good example too hearing it the way the artist intended you to hear it is pretty nice yeah for sure yeah when I had a record player I had like 20 records and I was like these are the ones I'd like yeah so here on vinyl and the rest most of the rest of it don't care yeah absolutely there's something about who when the artist recorded it yeah like were they thinking uh this is going to be on a record player so certain choices are going to get made that don't get made if you assume everyone's going to listen to it on airpods true very very true yeah because with the further are I couldn't tell you what they were no you're absolutely right with the Beatles specifically I can tell you that there was a decision to say this comes out of this channel this comes out of this channel so that it creates an atmosphere around your head that you lose when it's compressed and for sure and that's absolutely true of Prince too where he wants you to hear the hi-hat over here or whatever he's doing um yeah and for sure a lot of modern artists aren't doing that for sure yeah or they're doing some other version yeah applies to digital recording yeah because I'm sure if if we were still if vinyl was still the way Bruno Mars would be recording thinking about it but now he thinks about the delivery system that's current like this is going to be coming out of Alex's Alexa yeah like once every three months excited about going to work what is the best way to enjoy this occasionally okay infrequently um here's what I'll say about this song I think it is elevated by the fact that it could have easily been like a [ __ ] You song with just a few little changes and I think it would have been less good and less interesting and less useful yes they would have been much more forgettable if it was just like [ __ ] you I don't need you agreed that's what I I've always so um you've heard that song yeah so I I've said this once before but I'll say it again and then I'll draw the analogy um she loves you yeah yeah yeah the Beatles song uh-huh what I had this Epiphany about the song that I I was like that's why this song is so brilliant and it was that the people singing to you none of the people singing to you are in the relationship and that's unique yeah talking about two mutual friends she loves you he's given his buddy advice and you don't hear that in other songs no unless they're Billy Joel songs because he will give [ __ ] advice yes yeah that's right but also this is friendly advice which you'll never hear in the building yeah that's true you'll never hear it's not condescending advice yeah so that's beautifully unique and in a simple song likewise in the smiley Cyrus song it is uniquely not negative yeah it's uniquely empowering without being there's some negativity because breakups are innately sad things yup but they're it's almost not the point yeah the point is I'm good and we just weren't I can do all the things you did that I didn't really need yeah and uh just not sweating worrying like finding someone else who can do those things that's not going to be a problem no no I'm around yeah yeah you're good yeah peace of mind too is the other thing is to me the one of the theme themes of the damn song is peace of mind yeah it's uh you know the I could write my name in the sand I like that lyric a lot too because I I can celebrate me right I can I can I can understand what's good about me I don't need you to tell me with flowers and with you know big gestures yeah and so yeah I like it it is a piffle of a song I don't know if years from now we'll remember it might we might yeah I don't know but I don't know but man she's got a body at work so there's gonna be she's what she's an artist I think will get out of her decade you know you know there's artists who don't already I mean this is our second decade true very true or third if you count uh Hannah Montana too yeah I don't others will yeah why what a weird what a weird thing to escape in one piece she is only 30. wow I don't know why I thought she was older than that you do know why because she's been famous hearing that name forever yeah yeah because she was put to work as a child seems like she had a reasonable amount of good people around her to escape the Disney machine without being totally brutalized seems that way yeah well I think she she probably has some negative things to say about it did you know I'm just Googling do you know her real name oh um I never knew this I know her nickname is smiley huh um as a trivia question Hannah gadsby yes Destiny Hope Destiny Hope Cyrus so you gotta change it to something more stage like wow boy that is some white trash wow Destiny Hope my God now listen I got a surprise for you oh is she with you wow yeah so I got a clue it's to a different Miley Cyrus song that doesn't do me any good yeah this is about so little about Miley Cyrus uh the the hint is this is the easiest one to get okay uh is it uh LAX that's right is that the name of the song huh airport um no uh but once she arrives the fun begins what's another name for fun Joy right where do we have fun in the USA is it a party in the USA the Party in the USA hopped off the plane at LAX with a dream card again welcome to the land of famous people something in and uh it's a great little tune my friend I have a friend who likes to make fun of that song Just One lyric um uh everybody's looking at me now like who is that chick who's rocking kicks because that's the lyrics who's that kid kid who's rocking kicks and my friend goes apparently everybody looked at her and goes what's that chick doing wearing shoes well maybe in her hometown right well true she clarifies late later that uh everybody's got stilettos I guess I never got the memo yeah I uh thought it was going to be a Billy Joel clue and I had my answer all loaded up oh what was it a funny Stone a plane yeah could be no we I my lead it up dang so you got your Miley trivia for me no that's fine if you got Billy Joel trivia I'll take it I'll give you this in 2017 at Madison Square Garden Billy Joel and Miley Cyrus do wedded on a song what's on Still Rock And Roll to Me nope ah We Didn't Start the Fire no although great yeah um New York State of Mind New York State of Mind Correct nicely done I bet she was great too there's video you should check it out it's pretty great no damn right I will have you saw on the SNL anniversary when she did 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover yeah I must have seen it so good wait was that the 40th I think so um because I was there oh she was so good it was such a good version it's it's one of those versions that bums you out that why did they not why is this not a single somewhere where I can just have it yeah but it's because you know that's because it was for the show it was just this live thing that they did interesting that same night at Madison Square Garden uh Paul Simon also was there I yes he uh I don't know what they did I'm sure yeah it was it was a really good version and it was good and countrified and it was just just what I like about her she's one of those ones by the way that won me over not that was her goal she'll be thrilled yeah but then in the very beginning because a lot of times with music um it takes me a while to like anything new first of all yeah and then also sometimes it's not that I dislike it it's that I think this ain't for me because I know it wasn't made for me right and then eventually I make peace with that I'm like well it's okay if it wasn't made for me I think I'm allowed to like it I think that's okay I think if you like The Beatles that [ __ ] wasn't made for you oh that's true we're making songs for three-year-olds well either they did make some of those yeah they definitely made some of those yeah very true but yeah so with modern artists sometimes I'm like well I'm not sure if it's good or bad but I am sure it doesn't matter what I think because this is for kids right now experiencing the unpleasantness of Youth so leave them alone it'd be a very good uh Master's thesis for somebody to do uh what sort of messaging 18 year olds were getting at various stages oh yeah the century yeah very true very true like the whatever the era was where we were singing songs about people cutting off mice's tails like wonderfully why was that the jail why was that why did young girls need to be empowered in that particular way yeah I was watching an old Warner Brothers cartoon and it was actually I don't think it was Warner Brothers it was a the cat and the mouse one uh Tom and Jerry yeah Tom goes almost goes to heaven he ends up going to hell in this one right but I saw something that I found jarring because a sack comes up to heaven ly sack and the kittens jump out and it's cute and I was like hey wait a minute so it's somebody drowned those cats yeah that was the the joke in the cartoon was it the joke or was the guy who animated just wanted people at home to go you guys know your dicks why did you do that that's really great isn't that weird and horrifying cartoons used to be better in that regard they're like animators have always been uh evil it's a lot of fat people I think yeah I think that's absolutely true um you know the Zodiac Killer was an animator oh no [ __ ] it worked on uh uh what's his name snaggletooth foreign that's right uh by the way I had there I had a rant this is a quick rant that I had earlier this week an argument with somebody was oh yeah the Family Guy animated a thing where uh Peter Griffin does exactly what Jerry Lewis did in the errand boy with this mime or he's smoking a cigar ette isn't that so funny and I'm like no it isn't the errand boy is funny yeah did not add anything to the comedy that's not a reference yeah reference isn't just saying the thing again oh girl I have to tell my writers that well I I don't tell them I yell in my office to myself that's not a reference if you're just doing the thing yeah you can't just mention a thing and get credit now that's stealing as I think what that's called naturalize it somehow yeah you're just saying a thing that people know yeah there's no points zero points yeah there's a damn Family Guy where Stewie dances with uh Fred Astaire is it Fred Astaire no Gene Kelly Gene Kelly um just like Jerry did in the Tom and Jerry cartoon how's that different yeah oh we should have a whole other podcast where I complain about Family Guy yeah so I got a lot of [ __ ] to say and uh I worked for that guy and he was very nice and very generous yeah a show I struggle I struggle yeah it impacts me every day American how do we determine who picks next week's song well I did pick Miley yes you did but it's it's a bottle episode so does it count um I say it does and then the next time we have a bottle episode you we know and you'll pick the bottle up so the next time we do one that makes sense so you'll pick the next one and then you'll also pick the next bottle episode which means that I'll subsequently pick the song after that I like it okay so what are we doing next week well I'm Googling now we're it's getting very hard to remember what we've done yeah have we done the Entertainer yes we must have right we have did we do the great Suburban Showdown no we did not that's the one no we didn't know what I thought your clue was let's do that one a great Suburban Showdown that's a good one all right nice job and then uh yeah and then when it's my turn next week I'll pick a Billy Joel song this was a nice little um off-ramp I was debating this is the Eternal debate about how how shows are done I was like do hey should I consider it within the number of our shows or is it and so I've decided I'm just going to put it in the number of our shows but you could also do a thing where it's not that numbered that way it's it's you keep it separate as its own thing like a special event or whatever but then I'd have to keep track of it yeah so I'm not gonna do that don't hear it that way this is still Alex and Jim analyze Billy Joel lyrics that was just a bottle episode and I think I can justify well I can justify anything as as my wife will attest um but I think just the fact that they have some together they have sung together and here's what I'll say on this episode this episode we analyzed Billy Joel lyrics uh only a little less than we normally do that's right that is right | The Jim Bruce | UCq_zhAL8m7YE_gaHkjOfjRg | 2023-02-10 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en |

4QUwYNfetJ4 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QUwYNfetJ4 | USE A MANNEQUIN TO REFINE YOUR ART WORK NOW!! - LINE, SHAPE, AND OVERLAP! | okay today new lesson i'm going to be doing a mannequin into a line art stage ready base to take your character design the next step sorry about the rsync focus on the video and the lack of audio i didn't realize that the audio wasn't recording so i had to dub in for the first part okay so i'm grabbing my bass i've quickly sketched over the top of the previous lessons uh mannequin um i've just refined the anatomy and i took it into liquify and i pushed the center mass [Music] into more of a taper so it's more of an hourglass figure just did that for stylization stylization reasons uh not because that's like perfect proportions or anything this is simply just stylized characteristics of this anatomy that i wanted to go for so i began cleaning up my lineup so i turn the opacity down for the aforementioned rough sketch layer start working on top of that refining as i go along so i was fixing the hand up sometimes it's good to get a reference of your own hand to figure out the position yeah i just went freehand so as you notice i mess up and then i fix it and then i start working my way through the rest of the anatomy so i want her to be quite heavy on the top off and skinny towards the bottom half as i want her upper half to seem strong because she's kind of like an assassin just you gotta hold weapon i'm just making sure to use overlaps and keep my lines thin and accurate while maintaining proportion and form for the anatomy however this changes based on your shape language and in this case i want the top half to look strong and the bottom half looks skinny however her hips flare out so she will look like an isosceles triangle which is equal on two sides but not the third so it'll kind of point up very sharply i'm just gonna refine the muscles in the legs the arms and then i'm gonna plot in the shins knees and feet this is all with the perspective grid from the previous lessons in mind and grounded in reality due to this perspective as you can see from the recording i am kind of tapering her shins and cough muscles into like a sharp point almost like an upside down elongated teardrop or water droplet and this is due to the aforementioned shape language i'm going for in this piece in this piece i'm going for a top heavy as i've said i'm just reiterating and skinnier down the bottom but i want her thigh to be the big shape have to be the medium shape and the foot to be the smallest okay so i'm going through and i'm refining the hips i'm kind of making the edges if you notice of everything fairly sharp this is due to the shape language as well i kind if she's an assassin i want to keep in mind that she's going to have sharp edges rather than curved edges it lines however through throughout so usually at the vertices is sharp whereas when there's like transitioning lines so like thigh for instance i keep that long and smooth and curvilinear quick tip search for your favorite character designers on instagram and follow their current shape language um right now i'm going to refine the shoulders and the clavicle bones so they always tilt upwards on the form and then the clavicle also joins the front delt into the trapezius muscle which rolls from the back into the middle of the shoulder and then it joins the scapula in the back and that rolls into the latissimus dorsi which rolls through the front of the body towards the oblique as you can see from the footage here i am starting to refine the head however this will later change as i am unhappy with the shape i wanted to be a bit larger for the character and i didn't think this fitted what i wanted however i will talk you through what i'm doing right now i am blocking in some weird shapes and i'm showing you that if i were to light the character that would be where the shadows would go so i blocked in a kind of sunglasses shape for the sockets of the eyes i've added in a nose this character was originally going to be asian so i've given her quite like a flat nose and protruding cheekbones however as i said before this wasn't going the way i wanted to because the perspective is quite difficult it's an enough angle i need to practice that more and i suggest that if you struggle with these types of angles yourself practice them as much as you can i think i struggled with this shot due to that reason this i would do some boxes in perspective so i'm refining the neck muscles that that is one thing i'm fine with so basically i was just making sure the trapezius rolls down the back of the head and then you get the sternocleidomastoid which rolls through the front it joins the collarbone then i start to block in the sockets for the skull i'm just trying to make sure that the lips roll around the form of the head rather than just lying flat on it here which means curving the lines around the face as i said before i'm quite unhappy with this already so it's not going to look great i'm going to take this away any moment now i think the primary reason i was unhappy is because the neck was too long on the head too small i will talk you through what i'm doing though so i'm zooming out to make sure that i get to see these problems constantly flipping the canvas you notice this back and forth back and forth so i can see the problems and it's at this point i realize i'm not quite happy with the with the head i think it's not looking how i wanted to look so i think the primary reason i was unhappy is because the neck was too long on the head too small i just move away from it because it's frustrating me and i start working on some of the other joints of the arm and the overlap for the forearm making sure to maintain my shape language which is pointy and curvilinear lines i've rubbed up the head as you can see because i wasn't happy with it i've moved the character aside and i've got rid of the underlay drawing for the rough and i'm just going to start working on top so i'm trying to drop in a cranium right now for a head size i like i decide you know what because i'm struggling with the perspective i'm going to drop in a box following the perspective and it's going to have semi skull proportions there just got like a chopped off back i bring it down so it matches the head size and where the neck is i kind of flatten it off on the bottom so you can kind of see the bottom plane of the box i now grab a soft brush for my eraser i rub that out and i work on top catching in my skull making sure to use reference as this is a hard pose so i'm just roughly curving the back of the head there curving the forehead i start adding the brow bones and then i've got the the kind of indent for the side of the skull where the where the cheekbone would join in i've added the jawbone i start just rubbing out and refining the side of the face now so as you can see i think the thing is always finding the most difficult with this piece is that the chin and the jaw kind of merge into one shape with the neck in this perspective because you see the underneath however i always got to keep in mind that the muscles of the throat kind of taper in and then flare out to join the jaw so i'm way i'm placing in my wedge which breaks after the silhouette here for the nose refining the jaw line a little bit for the unseen side so i begin adding in the nostril and then the socket of the eye for the unseen side this helps to find the silhouette so i begin refining the back of the head and the top of the head and then i refine the profile view and then i start plotting in the space for the eye so here i'm placing in the eyeball which is seen from underneath so you get the bottom eyelid will be completely flat as you look at aperture you wouldn't see the top form you'd only see the bottom plane you see the bottom plane of the top lid however which is why it's showing how it is and then i rounded the eyeball there here i'm following the same principle i told you about before i'm rounding the lip around the form of the skull rather than just laying it flat on the face i will however go back in and refine that a little bit more in a second rounding off the back of the skull here zoomed out so i can see the problem i noticed from zooming out that the front of the head is a bit too tall so i just rub that out and fix it as i go here i add a little bit of eyelids i refine the eyeball and add a corner for the tear duct and i just place in a quick line for my forehead and the wing of the nose i give the nose a bit more of a bump i decide to go a bit more towards the caucasian character here instead i'm messing around with the nostril shape here just trying to find one that i like i think i found it i block in a little triangle for underneath the ear so it looks like it's got some ambient occlusion i drop in some u shapes and then i zoom out and start refining the edges and vertices of the character's proportions so in this case i am adding in the front delt and the rear delt with some overlap from the trapezius muscle to give it that and then the rear delt is curving in front of the tricep muscle as and then i've showed that through the overlap of line weight now i begin refining that lip as i mentioned before because i didn't like how it looks i'm going to rub that out and move it up a little bit and add a almost like a drop shadow line there to the mouth that foot was looking very small in the perspective so i've just quickly uh rubbed that out and put it back in with a perspective in mind and generally i wouldn't go much further than this for my character i would generally know after getting it to this stage which i'd be quite happy with i think i'd bring down the opacity i'd start adding clothes find a hairstyle reference and then i would make sure all of this reference leans towards a motif that i like and matches my current shape language and then i kind of just refine the shapes a little bit more and then i'm gonna call it done [Music] | Garinmorganart | UCQTvhDwTfBurOQyN3yg4ljw | 2022-07-09 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en |

5LzZtN8wfJQ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LzZtN8wfJQ | #TuesdayTip: REAC Inspections and Managers | [Music] hi and welcome to today's Tuesday tip today we're going to wrap up on our react section and to wrap up we've already discussed the 14 day letter this the 14 days the react gives you now in order to be ready for them we've discussed the purpose of a react inspection we've discussed the 0 scored that you'll receive if you refuse to allow react to come on the scheduled date we discussed the fact that you get an additional seven days to reschedule if you missed the original date we've discussed that 50% of the units will be inspected and that's the focus that react has on 50% of the units remember now reiax new protocol will for the future will be to focus on the units and that will be 50% also remember that if the units don't pass at least 50% inspection the property will feel we talked about 25% for the interior and common areas and we've talked about 25% for the exterior and those common areas including the building equipment and systems both in and out so next guess what we're going to talk about two more things to this react puzzle the first one is that we've placed on our website a little list that we're calling a pre react inspection it just gives you tips about what to look for and what to do when you're preparing for your react inspection the next thing part 2 of this puzzle that I'd like to talk about is managers yeah managers you cannot manage a property successfully by sitting behind that yes I went there you just have to get up out of that seat and you have to walk your property you have to look at the exterior the interiors you have to know your residents we had a young lady that called that received one of the 14 day letters and I asked her well how did you do she says Miss Vicki I didn't do so well I depended too much on maintenance I said what do you mean she says well I depended on maintenance to get everything together because in my mind I'm thinking a physical inspection and that's what they do but we got dinged for a fence they hold a knife fence we got Dean for glass on the grounds we got Dean for our windows being broken or cracked and we got a big D in the electrical box in the office nobody thought to check it well I admire her for taking the responsible role she did not blame maintenance she says I guess it was my fault because as a manager I should have made sure that these things were done which is true and like I told her you can't sit behind the desk and just write out the work orders and send a loan to maintenance and expect to pass a react inspection or any inspection not even an mor you've got to get from behind that desk and you've got to walk your property a good manager walks and knows their property a second example that I want to tell you about I have pictures to support this we had a call from a resident that was telling us that she was getting rodents inside her unit and that they were coming from the plumbing that the maintenance man had duct tape I said duct tape she said yes ma'am I said well send me a couple of the pictures she sent me the pictures I called the manager asked the manager if she knew that unit blase blase needed repairs and she said yes I've sent the maintenance man up there twice and he has done those repairs and I have completed work orders to prove it I said you might have work orders but did you go and look at the unit have you seen the repair work well no because I trust my maintenance man I said well I'm gonna send you the pictures that the resident sent me I sent her the pictures here they are you guys look at them this is the before pictures she went oh my god Miss Piggy I didn't realize it looked like that yes ma'am that's exactly how it looked she says well I will get on top of this right away true to her word in about three hours I received this set of pictures it's quite a bit of difference there isn't there I couldn't understand why she didn't at least from time to time go behind maintenance to make sure that they were doing the job that they should do I always said that a maintenance man will make or break a property so I want you guys to come from behind the desks I know you have a lot of paperwork I know we have to be octopus arms that we have to re certify that we have to do paperwork we have budgets we have a lot to do but one of the main things that you have to do is to make sure that these units are in decent safe and sanitary conditions we were told when I came into this industry would you allow your mother to live there or would you live there under those conditions so I challenge you all to think likewise so that's my little pet peeve on managers getting and walking their property hopefully you will hopefully the checklist that we have on our website will help you and your maintenance staff in having a good react inspection I want to say goodbye for now but guess what april showers bring May flowers in our industry april showers bring fair housing month April is national fair housing month so this month we're going to have a series on fair housing I would like to receive questions from you that you won't answer on fair housing and we will go over those questions on the last session that will be the last Tuesday tip of April so you can go on to the link that you see for our Tuesday tips or you can just email me at my email address I look forward to receiving them I look forward to trying to plus a panel together to answer some of those questions and I look forward to seeing you next Tuesday [Music] did you like this video hit the like button below do you want to see more content just like this be sure to subscribe to all our social media platforms and

HoMVuhZviFk | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoMVuhZviFk | ISIS slips out of Raqqa in Huge Convoys | [Music] Shalom covering I'm Stephen Bernoulli are watching Israeli news live a lot of things are happening in the world right now and we're gonna kind of highlight some of the things that we're seeing going on tonight but I also I mean you make sure we get rid of this volume here because we keep running into videos popping up in the background don't know why but anyway wanted to be able to share some insights with you guys and we are working on an in-depth program on what's going on in the world today all the Russia phobia all the wars that are happening on in the world and why are they happening I've been preparing this in a PowerPoint preparing this for world harvest television network for our program that we air there and I wanted to be able to share this with you guys as well but it's going to be pretty in-depth pretty intense news broadcast be about an hour long it'll run two parts on on TV on Direct TV channel 367 for those of you that do watch at airs normally Saturday nights at 10:00 p.m. or I think it's 10:00 to 10:00 or 10:30 and but we will be moving to a new timeslot we have put in a request which would be an early a.m. and mainly because of the cost of running that program we're trying to cut that cost back some but anyway we wanted to share some of that with you but at this point some of the things that are happening in the world today are very disturbing our tina's brings out fighters from us back SDF describe an unimpeded isis exodus from Raqqa on their watch in other words this is the US has not done anything about the Isis militants that are going through the country here let me see if I can actually pull the video up of this I was watching this earlier today and it was traveling friends really troubling by the way I've got so many slides open here I'm just not able to it doesn't nothing wants to work right right now here we go maybe it'll load up here but anyway other things that are happening as well we know that Rex Tillerson and foreign minister Lavrov Sergey Lavrov have agreed to continue North Korea diplomacy according to the US State Department Reuters has brought that out just yesterday that they will try to continue diplomacy over North Korea I don't know how long that's going to last I don't give it a whole lot of time to really do much good but that's what the case is supposed to be zero heads also Tyler dirt and reporting a Russia test a powerful ICBM capable of overcoming missile defense system that's the topple Oh M it is a supersonic nuclear warhead that Russia has and no doubt very concerning for the United States this type of weapon they're also US according to RT US is letting militants train and mount attacks from Syrian bases according to chief Russian general staff they're claiming this from al tante which is in the southern part of Syria there near the the Jordanian and Iraqi borders where they come together that cross over into Syria and also a base up in the Northeast where the Kurds have a stronghold where the United States has been protecting the Kurds up in that region they're just another issues that are going on there we're going to be getting into a lot of things though tomorrow they're gonna be talking about like I said about what's going on with this Russia phobia why are we worrying against one another why is the world in such a chaos and believe it or not there is a biblical passage where Yeshua himself Jesus himself actually points you right back to what happened during the times of Enoch and we're going to look into that because as everything to do with the wars that are going on today whose commanding these wars especially in the light of the fact that we're talking about nations that claim to be Christian nations warring against one another you know it's bad enough that the wars go on in the churches where if you're Baptist the Baptist don't like the Methodists the Methodists don't like the Baptist's or they don't like the Catholics the Catholic no there's so much hatred and animosity because somebody's under a different banner and of course everyone is trying to push their influence but no one pushes the influence more than when you get into the Eastern Orthodox Church being the Russian Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church from the West these two nations will literally go to war over different disputes about the world but yet it doesn't make sense to me because here they are especially President Putin has really asserted the Christian side and as communism has come down in his country and has really asserted the Christian values of what the nation was like before so the Communists took over the country that was Joseph Nicola linen and and Joseph Stalin these two Jesuits that took over the country that brought in the atheistic type belief in order to suppress the Russian Orthodox Church but nonetheless we see both President Trump and President Putin regardless of what you may feel about either one of them are they real or genuine Christians that's really beside the point they both claim Jesus Christ as far as to be the Messiah and that this is what their core value of their of their leadership is all about then why would we even go to war against one another but yet that time is nearing at hand so we're going to be getting into those things there and I think it would be very interesting to you to see just exactly what we've laid out in this broadcast here that will be coming up actually tomorrow but I want to kind of give you a little bit of highlight of what was going on because there is a lot of things going on in the world as well everywhere we're seeing constant fighting chaos just globally as truly as Yeshua says you know in Matthew 24 as we get down there there would be wars and rumors of wars or the nation would rise against nation Kingdom against Kingdom and these are just the beginning of Sorrows geez what comes next it's amazing here on Steve Bannu you're watching Israeli news live be seeing you tomorrow I know as I said it will be a blessing to you and please as a year ready to close consider giving to Israeli news live here to keep our broadcast going into the next year I'm Stephen with Israeli news live Arif toe [Music] [Applause] | Israeli News Live |

8oIrywUV21I | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oIrywUV21I | How To Go To The GYM In - A Beginners Guide | so it's New Year's time and you've made the definitive decision to finally go to the gym you're going to put that bong away shave your head and enter your team and up but now the days are getting closer and the original spark you had is dying off the prospect of actually going to the gym signing up and entering the proximity of all these scary Jack guys is becoming very real you don't really know what movements you should be doing when you should be going who you're going to go with and the original person you were going to go with has bailed you and you haven't even thought about diet yet my friend you were so close to changing your life around positively forever so let me get you back on track I'm going to tell you everything you need to know before stepping into the gym so for you to retain as much information as possible please watch to the end of the video or even Chuck it on 1.5 speed if you need to before we get to the video I just want to quickly mention that I will be referencing the 180 Program a lot in this course that's basically the program that I followed to get the results that I got so I would highly suggest checking that out if you're interested in maximizing your results in the beginning as fast as possible it's what all three of us boys did and we got ridiculous results so yeah if you want a straightforward program that's going to put on as much mass as possible and minimize the time in the gym I really recommend following this program but with that out of the way let's get into the video first of all let's talk about public gyms and gym etiquette guys I'm here to tell you that you have absolutely no reason to be intimidated or scared of a public gym it is the most friendly and helpful environment that you could step in it is filled with the nicest people that are all interested in improving their lives usually how you'd enter the gym you'd go up you'd scan your daily pass Ducker don't touch the receipt because it gives you it hurts your testosterone levels real [ __ ] the bpas the BPA on it or you get a day pass or if you're interested in a membership you'd ask them about the membership and sign up for a membership then you can either go to the free lockers and put your stuff in the locker or you can just carry it around with you it's up to you guys those places are good just to shut your stuff in while you're working out it's also good to bring a towel especially if you sweat a lot bring a towel but I don't actually bring a towel and a lot of people don't bring towels either and no one's going to judge you for not bringing your towel a lot of gyms will actually have the rules that you have to use a towel but no one listens to them it just depends on the gym if you look around everyone's using cows use a tail but before all this you need to make sure you've got a good program that you can follow every time you go into the gym you don't really want to be walking around trying to find free machines and just doing random accessories because most of the machines there are for isolation movements so like I said the 180 Program is the perfect program if you're wanting to start out just do a bunch of compound movements but next let's run through eight of the only geometric rules that you need to know number one if you want a machine but someone's using it don't just stare at them and look at them that's creepy go out to them ask how many sets they've got left and they'll be more than happy to answer you number three if you want a cable attachment and someone's near that machine or that cable attachment ask them if they're using it most of the time they're not put a bit of Common Sense is required here if they're obviously not using it just grab it I have a lot of people coming up to me at the gym and say are you using this attachment and I'm on the other side of the gym it's like I don't know mate number three if a female cleaner is in the male toilets don't go in there and take a piss wait till they're out of toilets unfortunately that's just how it is you're just gonna have to wait number four is to put your weights away where you found them now this is the Only Rule that people are very stingy about are you out here yeah we're done with it wait what's wrong with the picture though what's wrong with this picture you guys bro I can't lift this bro and that's for a reason if you put it in the wrong spot it can just cause Havoc make sure you always put away the weights that's pretty much the main rule that you should follow number five if someone asks you for a spot and you don't know how to spot just tell them that it's better than them failing the rep and then they kill themselves because you don't know how to spot a better alternative to this is just learn how to spot it's pretty easy on the bench press you just stand behind it and lift the bar up if they can't lift it but there's plenty of YouTube videos out there on how exactly to spot so and this goes vice versa if you're lifting your weight and you're not confident whether you can lift it or not just ask anyone for a spot and usually they'll be more than happy to help you out number six if you spill something clean it up if you spill crumbs clean it up number seven is wipe down the machines once you're done there's a lot of gyms that don't actually enforce this rule but if you've got your butt sweat on the machine no one wants to sit in that bro and if you're someone who sweats a lot especially just remember to wipe down the machines alright so with that out of the way let's talk about what you should be doing and gym so the main thing you want to focus on when you start is compound movements I see a lot of people doing isolation movements and all these weird accessories when you start you want to build a strong foundation and this is basically what my course teaches as well you start off doing a lot of compound movements and then you move on to the accessories and all the isolation movements compound movements are things like bench press squats deadlifts and these are all things that will build a good foundation and then you can start doing isolation exercises to increase your upper body now the reason the program focuses on upper body so much doing a lot of shoulder exercises and lat exercises is because that is what will build you an aesthetic physique and an aesthetic physique is basically a physique that has a V taper and a really wide upper body this is the most appealing and the most attractive physique and we want you to build this physique because it's what will look the best and let's be honest half the reason we're doing this is to look great and that is the most sexually desired and the most attractive physique small waist big upper body so let's just summarize that real quick you'll start off doing a lot of compound movements to build up a foundation and then you can move on to more complicated things that will build different parts of the body alright so next let's just quickly run through diet if you don't have your diet in check it's like pulling an all-nighter and then going to an exam you're going to get results but why would you you could get way better results if you just got sleep or dolled in your diet I've talked about this in a few videos but I'm going to keep it simple again if you're skinny and you'll want to put on mass and you want to put on size you need to be in a calorie Surplus this means you eat more calories and burn less calories now I know you're saying to me right now I'm a hard Gainer my metabolism's [ __ ] and this and that download a diet tracker you basically need to be eating more calories than your maintenance and that is what a calorie Surplus is and you'll find out very soon once you start tracking your calories that you're just not eating enough you can go to any calculator online you can just look up maintenance calculator you put in your body weight and your height and stuff like that it will tell you how much you need to be eating and with losing weight you need to be in a calorie deficit this means you eat less and burn more calories so you'd have to include cardio within your training program now another mistake people make when they're bulking is they just eat [ __ ] food I don't want you to mistake bulking for just eating a bunch of McDonald's and that kind of stuff because your gut is your your mind and if you eat like [ __ ] you'll start to feel like [ __ ] your skin will look like [ __ ] and you'll just turn it into a big pile of [ __ ] most of you will know what you should be eating what you shouldn't like I said I've said this before McDonald's you look at it you say look I probably shouldn't be eating that steak okay that looks good I'll eat that and it's pretty simple most people will know when they look at a food whether it's good for them or not so it's about eating unprocessed foods and that's going to be a lot better for your mental health your mental Clarity and your focus and yeah I really suggest just dialing in your diet at first because that's the mistake I made I was just eating like [ __ ] and the results are putting on like it was something because I had those newbie gains but it could have been a lot better so those are the basic fundamentals of going to gym if going to gym is your New Year's resolution start going to gym now instead of in the New Year it's not going to make any [ __ ] difference and the more you hype it up the less likely you're going to be to go and once you've watched this video you have no excuses you know every single thing you need to know about going to gym and if you have any extra questions feel free to message me on Instagram and I'll let you know I'll give you no excuse all right and I'll hunt you down and I'll make you go to the gym it's going to improve your life so much and once you break past that two-month barrier you will most likely become addicted people that have ranked a gym and made them consistently trained they end up falling in love with it anyway because this is what we're supposed to do and that's why we become addicted to it because humans are supposed to move of course you're gonna feel like [ __ ] of course you're gonna feel depressed if you're not doing anything and I want to reiterate as well that everyone feels uncomfortable when they first go to gym all right it's not like this comfortable thing you should be doing but that's the point of it where there is the most resistance is the most success so get in the gym it's going to be hard at first but you'll get used to it and you'll start enjoying it most people that go to a gym they couldn't imagine their lives without it and I couldn't imagine my life without it it'd just be falling apart it'd be shambles I wish you guys the best like I said if you guys want a really easy training program to follow and a diet program as well go to the link in the description it is easily the best program to follow as a beginning and you guys can also expand on that and get the full

LoIlEoOeP-c | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoIlEoOeP-c | Sexual orientation | Wikipedia audio article | sexual orientation as an enduring pattern of romantic or sexual attraction or a combination of these two persons of the opposite sex or gender the same sex or gender or to both sexes or more than one gender these attractions are generally subsumed under heterosexuality homosexuality and bisexuality while asexuality the lack of sexual attraction to others is sometimes identified as the fourth category these categories are aspects of the more nuanced nature of sexual identity and terminology for example people may use other labels such as pansexual or polysexual or none at all according to the American Psychological Association sexual orientation also refers to a person's sense of identity based on those attractions related behaviors and membership in a community of others who share those attractions and Rafi Lea and gynae philia are terms used in behavioral science to describe sexual orientation as an alternative to a gender binary conceptualization and Rafi Lea describes sexual attraction to masculinity Gyna philia describes the sexual attraction to femininity the term sexual preference largely overlaps with sexual orientation but is generally distinguished in psychological research a person who identifies as bisexual for example may sexually prefer one sex over the other sexual preference may also suggest a degree of voluntary choice whereas the scientific consensus is that sexual orientation is not a choice scientists do not know the exact cause of sexual orientation but they theorize that it is caused by a complex interplay of genetic hormonal and environmental influences they favor biologically based theories which point to genetic factors the early uterine environment both or the inclusion of genetic and social factors hypotheses for the impact of the postnatal social environment on sexual orientation however are weak especially for males there is no substantive evidence which suggests parenting or early childhood experiences play a role with regard to sexual orientation research over several decades has demonstrated that sexual orientation ranges along a continuum from exclusive attraction to the it's x2 exclusive attraction to the same-sex sexual orientation is reported primarily within biology and psychology including sexology but it is also a subject area in anthropology history including social constructionism and law and there are other explanations that relate to sexual orientation and culture topic definitions and distinguishing from sexual identity and behavior topic general sexual orientation has traditionally defined as including heterosexuality bisexuality and homosexuality while asexuality is considered the fourth category of sexual orientation by some researchers and has been defined as the absence of a traditional sexual orientation an asexual has little to no sexual attraction to people it may be considered a lack of a sexual orientation and there is significant debate over whether or not it is a sexual orientation most definitions of sexual orientation include a psychological component such as the direction of an individual's erotic desires or a behavioral component which focuses on the sex of the individuals sexual partner s some people prefer simply to follow an individual self definition or identity scientific and professional understanding is that the core attractions that form the basis for adult sexual orientation typically emerge between middle childhood and early adolescence sexual orientation differs from sexual identity and that it encompasses relationships with others while sexual identity is a concept of south the American Psychological Association states that s actual orientation refers to an enduring pattern of emotional romantic and/or sexual attractions to men women or both sexes and that T his range of behaviors and attractions has been described in various cultures and nations throughout the world many cultures use identity labels to describe people who express these attractions in the United States the most frequent labels are lesbians women attracted to women gay men men attracted to men and bisexual people men or women attracted to both sexes however some people may use different labels or none at all they additionally state that sexual orientation is distinct from other components of sex and gender including biological sex the anatomical physiological and genetic characteristics associated with being male or female gender identity the psychological sense of being male or female and social gender role the cultural norms that define feminine and masculine behavior according to psychologists sexual orientation also refers to a person's choice of sexual partners who may be homosexual heterosexual or bisexual sexual identity and sexual behavior are closely related to sexual orientation but they are distinguished with sexual identity referring to an individual's conception of themselves behavior referring to actual sexual acts performed by the individual and orientation referring to fantasies attachments and longings individuals may or may not express their sexual orientation in their behaviors people who have a non heterosexual sexual orientation that does not align with their sexual identity are sometimes referred to as closeted the term make however reflect a certain cultural context and particular stage of transition in societies which are gradually dealing with integrating sexual minorities in studies related to sexual orientation when dealing with the degree to which a person's sexual attractions behaviors and identity match scientists usually use the terms concordance or discordance thus a woman is attracted to other women that calls herself heterosexual and only has sexual relations with men can be said to experience discordance between her sexual orientation homosexual or lesbian and her sexual identity and behaviors heterosexual sexual identity may also be used to describe a person's perception of his or her own sex rather than sexual orientation the term sexual preference has a similar meaning to sexual orientation and the two terms are often used interchangeably but sexual preference suggests a degree of voluntary choice the term has been elicited by the American Psychological associations Committee on gay and lesbian concerns as a wording that advances a heterosexual bias topic and row philia Gyna philia and other terms and Rafi Lia and gynae philia organic a philia are terms used in behavioral science to describe sexual attraction as an alternative to a homosexual and heterosexual conceptualization they are used for identifying a subjects object of attraction without attributing a sex assignment or gender identity to the subject related terms such as pansexual and polysexual do not make any such assignation x' to the subject people may also use terms such as queer pansexual poly fidelity's Amba sexual or personalized identities such as bike or by philic same gender loving SGL is considered to be more than a different term for gay it introduces the concept of love into the discussion SGL also acknowledges relationships between people of like identities for example third gender individuals who may be oriented toward each other and expands the discussion of sexuality beyond the original man-woman gender duality the complexity of transgender orientation is also more completely understood within this perspective using and Rafi Lia and gynae philia can avoid confusion and offence when describing people in non-western cultures as well as when describing intersex and transgender people psychiatrist Anil agrawal explains that and Rafi Lia along with gyno philia is needed to overcome immense difficulties in characterizing the sexual orientation of trans men and trans women for instance it is difficult to decide whether a trans man erotically attracted to males as a heterosexual female or a homosexual male or a trans woman erotically attracted to females as a heterosexual male or a lesbian female any attempt to classify them may not only cause confusion but arouse offense among the affected subjects in such cases while defining sexual attraction it is best to focus on the object of their attraction rather than on the sex or gender of the subject sexologist Milton diamond writes the terms heterosexual homosexual and bisexual are better used as adjectives not nouns and are better applied to behaviors not people this usage is particularly advantageous when discussing the partners of transsexual or intersexed individuals these newer terms also do not carry the social weight of the former ones some researchers advocate use of the terminology to avoid bias inherent in Western conceptualizations of human sexuality writing about the Samoan 15 demographic sociologist Johanna Schmidt writes that in cultures where a third gender is recognized a term like homosexual transsexual does not align with cultural categories some researchers such as Bruce page Mill have criticized the labels heterosexual and homosexual as confusing and degrading beige millwrights not the point of reference for heterosexual or homosexual orientation in this nomenclature as solely the individuals genetic sex prior to reassignment see for example Blanchard at all 1987 Coleman and Bakhtin 1988 Blanchard 1989 these labels thereby ignore the individuals personal sense of gender identity taking precedence over biological sex rather than the other way around beige mill goes on to take issue with the way this terminology makes it easy to claim transsexuals are really homosexual males seeking to escape from stigma topic gender transgender cisgender and conformance the earliest writers on sexual orientation usually understood it to be intrinsically linked to the subjects own sex for example it was thought that a typical female bodied person who is attracted to female bodied persons would have masculine attributes and vice versa this understanding was shared by most of the significant theorists of sexual orientation from the mid 19th to early 20th century such as Carl Heinrich Ulrich's Richard von Kraft abeam Magnus Hirschfeld Havelock Ellis Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud as well as many gender variant homosexual people themselves however this understanding of homosexuality as sexual inversion was disputed at the time and through the second half of the 20th century gender identity came to be increasingly seen as a phenomenon distinct from sexual orientation transgender and cisgender people may be attracted to men women or both although the prevalence of different sexual orientations is quite different in these two populations an individual homosexual heterosexual or bisexual person may be masculine feminine or androgynous and in addition many members and supporters of lesbian and gay communities now see the gender conforming heterosexual and the gender non-conforming homosexual as negative stereotypes nevertheless studies by Jay Michael Bailey and Kenneth Zucker found a majority of the gay men and lesbians sampled reporting various degrees of gender nonconformity during their childhood years transgender people today identify with the sexual orientation that corresponds with their gender meaning that a trans woman who is solely attracted to women would often identify as a lesbian a trans man solely attracted to women would be a straight man sexual orientation sees greater intricacy when non-binary understandings of both sexes male female or intersex and gender man-woman transgender third gender etc are considered sociologist Paula Rodrigues rust mm argues for a more multifaceted definition of sexual orientation most alternative models of sexuality to find sexual orientation in terms of dichotomous biological sex or gender most theorists would not eliminate the reference to sex or gender but instead advocate incorporating more complex non-binary concepts of sex or gender more complex relationships between sex gender and sexuality and or additional non gender dimensions into models of sexuality topic relationships outside of orientation gay and lesbian people can have sexual relationships with someone of the opposite sex for a variety of reasons including the desire for a perceived traditional family and concerns of discrimination and religious ostracism while some LGBT people hide their respective orientations from their spouses others develop positive gay and lesbian identities while maintaining successful heterosexual marriages coming out of the closet to oneself a spouse of the opposite sex and children can present challenges that are not faced by gay and lesbian people who are not married to people of the opposite sex or do not have children topic fluidity topic general aspects often sexual orientation and sexual orientation identity are not distinguished which can impact accurately assessing sexual identity and whether or not sexual orientation is able to change sexual orientation identity can change throughout an individual's life and may or may not align with biological sex sexual behavior or actual sexual orientation while the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health and American Psychiatric Association state that sexual orientation is innate continuous are fixed throughout their lives for some people but as fluid or changes over time for others the American Psychological Association distinguishes between sexual orientation and innate attraction and sexual orientation identity which may change at any point in a person's life some research suggests that F or some people the focus of sexual interest will shift at various points through the lifespan there was as of 1995 essentially no research on the longitudinal stability of sexual orientation over the adult lifespan it was still unanswered question whether the measure of the complex components of sexual orientation is differentiated from other aspects of sexual identity at one point in time we'll predict future behavior or orientation certainly it is not a good predictor of past behavior and self-identity given the developmental process common to most gay men and lesbians ie denial of homosexual interests and hetero sexual experimentation prior to the coming out process quote some studies report that a number of lesbian women and some heterosexual women as well perceived choice as an important element in their sexual orientations topic born bisexual than mono sexualizing innate bisexuality as an idea introduced by Sigmund Freud according to this theory all humans are born bisexual in a very broad sense of the term that of incorporating general aspects of both sexes in Freud's view this was true anatomically and therefore also psychologically with sexual attraction to both sexes being one part of this psychological bisexuality Freud believed that in the course of sexual development the masculine side would normally become dominant in men and the feminine side in women but that as adults everyone still has desires derived from both the masculine and the feminine sides of their natures Freud did not claim that everyone is bisexual in the sense of feeling the same level of sexual attraction to both genders topic causes the exact causes for the development of a particular sexual orientation have yet to be established to date a lot of research has been conducted to determine the influence of genetics hormonal action development dynamics social and cultural influences which has led many to think that biology and environment factors play a complex role in forming it it was once thought that homosexuality was the result of faulty psychological development resulting from childhood experiences and troubled relationships including childhood sexual abuse it has been found that this was based on prejudice and misinformation topic biology research has identified several biological factors which may be related to the development of sexual orientation including genes prenatal hormones and brain structure no single controlling cause has been identified and research is continuing in this area the researchers generally believe that sexual orientation is not determined by any one factor but by a combination of genetic hormonal and environmental influences with biological factors involving a complex interplay of genetic factors in the early uterine environment they favor biological models for the cause they believe that sexual orientation is not a choice and some of them believe that it is established at conception that as individuals do not choose to be homosexual heterosexual bisexual or asexual current scientific investigation usually seeks to find biological explanations for the adoption of the particular sexual orientation scientific studies have found a number of statistical biological differences between gay people and heterosexuals which may result from the same underlying cause as sexual orientation itself topic genetic factors jeans may be related to the development of sexual orientation a twin study from 2001 appears to exclude genes as a major factor while a twin study from 2010 found that homosexuality was explained by both genes and environmental factors however experimental design of the available twin studies have made their interpretation difficult in 2012 a large comprehensive genome-wide linkage study of male sexual orientation was conducted by several independent groups of researchers significant linkage to homosexuality was found with genes on chromosome execute 28 in chromosome 8 in the para centromeric region the authors concluded that our findings taken in context with previous work suggest that genetic variation in each of these regions contributes to development of the important psychological trait of male sexual orientation it was the largest study of the genetic basis of homosexuality to date and was published online in November 2014 topic hormones the hormonal theory of sexuality holds that just as exposure to certain hormones plays a role in fetal sex differentiation hormonal exposure also influences the sexual orientation that emerges later in the adult fetal hormones may be seen as either the primary influence upon adult sexual orientation or as a cofactor interacting with genes or environmental and social conditions for humans the norm is that females possess 2x sex chromosomes while males have One X and one Y the default developmental pathway for a human fetus being female the Y chromosome is what induces the changes necessary to shift to the male developmental pathway this differentiation process is driven by androgen hormones mainly testosterone and dihydrotestosterone DHT the newly formed testicles in the fetus are responsible for the secretion of androgens that will cooperate in driving the sexual differentiation of the developing fetus including its brain this results in sexual differences between males and females this fact has led some scientists to test in various ways the result of modifying androgen exposure levels in mammals during fetus and early life topic birth-order recent studies found an increased chance of homosexuality and men whose mothers previously carried to term many male children this effect has nullified if the man is left-handed known as the fraternal birth order FBO effect this theory has been backed up by strong evidence of its prenatal origin although no evidence thus far has linked it to an exact prenatal mechanism however research suggests that this may be of immunological origin caused by a maternal immune reaction against a substance crucial to male fetal development during pregnancy which becomes increasingly likely after every male gestation as a result of this immune effect alterations in later born males prenatal development have been thought to occur this process known as the maternal immunization hypothesis mih would begin when cells from a male fetus enter the mother's circulation during pregnancy or while giving birth these while linked proteins would not be recognized in the mother's immune system because she is female causing her to develop antibodies which would travel through the placental barrier into the fetal compartment from here the aunty male bodies would then cross the blood-brain barrier of the developing fetal brain altering sex dimorphic brain structures relative to sexual orientation causing the exposed son to be more attracted to men over women topic environmental factors there is no substantive evidence to support the suggestion that early childhood experiences parenting sexual abuse or other adverse life events influence sexual orientation however studies do find that aspects of sexuality expression have an experiential basis and that parental attitudes towards a particular sexual orientation may affect how children of the parents experiment with behaviors related to a certain sexual orientation topic influences professional organizations statements the American Academy of Pediatrics in 2004 stated the mechanisms for the development of a particular sexual orientation remain unclear but the current literature and most scholars in the field state that one's sexual orientation is not a choice that as individuals do not choose to be homosexual or heterosexual a variety of theories about the influences on sexual orientation have been proposed sexual orientation probably is not determined by any one factor but by a combination of genetic hormonal and environmental influences in recent decades biologically based theories have been favored by experts although there continues to be controversy and uncertainty as to the genesis of the variety of human sexual orientations there is no scientific evidence that abnormal parenting sexual abuse or other adverse life events influence sexual orientation current knowledge suggests that sexual orientation is usually established during early childhood the American Psychological Association the American Psychiatric Association and the National Association of Social Workers in 2006 stated currently there is no scientific consensus about the specific factors that cause an individual to become heterosexual homosexual or bisexual including possible biological psychological or social effects of the parents sexual orientation however the available evidence indicates that the vast majority of lesbian and gay adults were raised by heterosexual parents and the vast majority of children raised by lesbian and gay parents eventually grow up to be heterosexual the Royal College of Psychiatrists in 2007 stated despite almost a century of psychoanalytic and psychological speculation there is no substantive evidence to support the suggestion that the nature of parenting or early childhood experiences play any role in the formation of a person's fundamental heterosexual or homosexual orientation it would appear that sexual orientation is biological in nature determined by a complex interplay of genetic factors in the early uterine environment sexual orientation is therefore not a choice though sexual behavior clearly as the American Psychiatric Association stated no one knows what causes hetero sexuality homosexuality or bisexuality homosexuality was once thought to be the result of troubled family dynamics or faulty psychological development those assumptions are now understood to have been based on misinformation and Prejudice a legal brief dated September 26 2007 and presented on behalf of the American Psychological Association California Psychological Association American Psychiatric Association National Association of Social Workers and National Association of Social Workers California Chapter stated although much research has examined the possible genetic hormonal developmental social and cultural influences on sexual orientation no findings have emerged that permits scientists to conclude that sexual orientation heterosexuality homosexuality or bisexuality is determined by any particular factor or factors the evaluation of a my Chi is that although some of this research may be promising and facilitating greater understanding of the development of sexual orientation it does not permit a conclusion based in sound science at the present time as to the cause or causes of sexual orientation whether homosexual bisexual or heterosexual pick efforts to change sexual orientation you sexual orientation change efforts are methods that aim to change a same-sex sexual orientation they may include behavioral techniques cognitive behavioral therapy rep repiy psychoanalytic techniques medical approaches and religious and spiritual approaches no major mental health professional organization sanctions efforts to change sexual orientation and virtually all of them have adopted policy statements cautioning the profession and the public about treatments that purport to change sexual orientation these include the American Psychiatric Association American Psychological Association American counseling Association National Association of Social Workers in the USA the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the Australian Psychological Society in 2009 the American Psychological Association Task Force on appropriate therapeutic responses to sexual orientation conducted a systematic review of the peer-reviewed journal literature on sexual orientation change efforts SOC II and concluded efforts to change sexual orientation are unlikely to be successful and involve some risk of harm contrary to the claims of SOC II practitioners and advocates even though the research and clinical literature demonstrate that same-sex sexual and romantic attractions feelings and behaviors are normal and positive variations of human sexuality regardless of sexual orientation identity the task force concluded that the population that undergoes SOC II tends to have strongly conservative religious views that lead them to seek to change their sexual orientation thus the appropriate application of the firm ative therapeutic interventions for those who seek SOC II involves therapist acceptance support and understanding of clients and the facilitation of clients active coping social support and identity exploration and development without imposing a specific sexual orientation identity outcome in 2012 the Pan American Health Organization the North and South American branch of the World Health Organization released a statement cautioning against services that purport to cure people with non-heterosexual sexual orientations as they lack medical justification and represent a serious threat to the health and well-being of affected people and noted that the global scientific and consensus is that homosexuality is a normal and natural variation of human sexuality and cannot be regarded as a pathological condition the Pan American Health Organization further called on government's academic institutions professional associations and the media to expose these practices and to promote respect for diversity the World Health Organization affiliate further noted that gay minors have sometimes been forced to attend these therapies involuntarily being deprived of their liberty and sometimes kept in isolation for several months and that these findings were reported by several United Nations bodies additionally the Pan American Health Organization recommended that such Mal practices be denounced and subject to sanctions and penalties under national legislation as they constitute a violation of the ethical principles of health care and violate human rights that are protected by international and regional agreements the National Association for research and therapy of homosexuality NARTH which described itself as a professional scientific organization that offers hope to those who struggle with unwanted homosexuality disagreed with the mainstream mental health community's position on conversion therapy both on its effectiveness and by describing sexual orientation not as a binary immutable quality or as a disease but as a continuum of intensities of sexual attractions and emotional affect the American Psychological Association and the Royal College of Psychiatrists expressed concerns that the positions espoused by NARTH are not supported by the science and create an environment in which prejudice and discrimination can flourish topic assessment and measurement varying definitions and strong social norms about sexuality can make sexual orientation difficult to quantify topic early classification schemes one of the earliest sexual orientation classification schemes was proposed in the 1860s by Carl Heinrich Ulrich's in a series of pamphlets he published privately the classification scheme which was meant only to describe males separated them into three basic categories Dining's earnings and Urena Dining's an earning can be further categorized by degree of effeminacy these categories directly correspond with the categories of sexual orientation used today heterosexual homosexual bisexual in the series of pamphlets Ulrich's outlined a set of questions to determine if a man was an Ernie the definitions of each category of Ulrich's classification scheme are as follows the unning comparable to the modern term heterosexual earning comparable to the modern term homosexual manling the manly earning we baleen an effeminate earning swishin a somewhat manly and somewhat effeminate earning muralist and earning that sexually behaves like a Dian ingre no dyani comparable to the modern term bisexual from at least the late 19th century in Europe there was speculation that the range of human sexual response looked more like a continuum than two or three discrete categories Berlin sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld published a scheme in 1896 that measured the strength of an individual's sexual desire on two independent ten-point scales a homosexual and be heterosexual a heterosexual individual may be a ob5 the homosexual individual may be a 5bo and asexual would be AO Bo and someone with an intense attraction to both sexes would be a 9b9 topic kinsey scale the Kinsey scale also called the heterosexual homosexual rating scale was first published in sexual behavior in the human male 1948 by Alfred Kinsey lar del Pomeroy and Clyde Martin and also featured in sexual behavior in the human female 1953 the scale was developed to combat the assumption at the time that people are either heterosexual or homosexual and that these two types represent antitheses in the sexual world recognizing that a large portion of population is not completely heterosexual or homosexual and people can experience both heterosexual and homosexual behavior and psychic responses Kinsey at all stated males do not represent two discrete populations heterosexual and homosexual the world is not to be divided into sheep and goats not all things are black nor all things white the living world is a continuum in each and every one of its aspects the sooner we learn this concerning human sexual behavior the sooner we shall reach a sound understanding of the realities of sex the Kinsey scale provides a classification of sexual orientation based on the relative amounts of heterosexual and homosexual experience or psychic response in one's history at a given time the classification scheme works such that individuals in the same category show the same balance between the heterosexual and homosexual elements in their histories the position on the scale is based on the relation of heterosexuality to homosexuality in one's history rather than the actual amount of overt experience or psychic response an individual can be assigned a position on the scale in accordance with the following definitions of the points of the scale the Kinsey scale has been praised for dismissing the dichotomous classification of sexual orientation and allowing for a new perspective on human sexuality however the scale has been criticized because it is still not a true continuum despite seven categories being able to provide a more accurate description of sexual orientation than a dichotomous scale it is still difficult to determine which category individuals should be assigned to in a major study comparing sexual response in homosexual males and females Masters and Johnson discuss the difficult of assigning the kinsey ratings to participants particularly they found it difficult to determine the relative amount heterosexual and homosexual experience and response in a person's history when using the scale they report finding it difficult to assign ratings to two four four individuals with a large number of heterosexual and homosexual experiences when there are a substantial number of heterosexual and homosexual experiences in one's history it becomes difficult for that individual to be fully objective in assessing the relative amount of each Weinrich at all 1993 and Weinberg at all 1994 criticized the scale for lumping individuals who are different based on different dimensions of sexuality into the same categories when applying the scale Kinsey considered two dimensions of sexual orientation overt sexual experience and psychosexual reactions valuable information was lost by collapsing the two values into one final score a person who has only predominantly same-sex reactions as different from someone with relatively little reaction but lots of same-sex experience it would have been quite simple for Kinsey to have measured the two dimensions separately and report scores independently to avoid loss of information furthermore there are more than two dimensions of sexuality to be considered beyond behavior and reactions one could also assess attraction identification lifestyle etc this is addressed by the Cline sexual orientation grid a third concern with the Kinsey scale is that it inappropriately measures heterosexuality and homosexuality on the same scale making one a trade-off of the other research in the 1970s on masculinity and femininity found that concepts of masculinity and femininity are more appropriately measured as independent concepts on a separate scale rather than as a single continuum with each end representing opposite extremes when compared on the same scale they act as trade-offs such whereby to be more feminine one had to be less masculine and vice-versa however if they are considered as separate dimensions one can be simultaneously very masculine and very feminine similarly considering heterosexuality and homosexuality on separate scales would allow one to be both very heterosexual and very homosexual are not very much of either when they are measured independently the degree of heterosexual and homosexual can be independently determined rather than the balance between heterosexual and homosexual as determined using the Kinsey scale topic Clym sexual orientation grid in response to the criticism of the Kinsey scale only measuring two dimensions of sexual orientation fritz Klein developed declined sexual orientation grid KS OG a multi-dimensional scale for describing sexual orientation introduced in Klein's book the bisexual option 1978 the KS og uses a seven-point scale to assess seven different dimensions of sexuality at three different points in an individual's life passed from early adolescence up to one year ago present within the last 12 months an ideal what would you choose if it were completely your choice topic the cell assessment of sexual orientation the cell assessment of sexual orientation SASO was developed to address the major concerns with the Kinsey scale incline sexual orientation grid and as such measures sexual orientation on a continuum considers various dimensions of sexual orientation and considers homosexuality and heterosexuality separately rather than providing a final solution to the question of how to best measure sexual orientation the SASO is meant to provoke discussion and debate about measurements of sexual orientation the SASO consists of twelve questions six of these questions assess sexual attraction for assess sexual behavior and to assess sexual orientation identity for each question on the scale that measures homosexuality there is a corresponding question that measures heterosexuality giving six matching pairs of questions taken all together the six pairs of questions and responses provide a profile of an individual's sexual orientation however results can be further simplified into four summaries that look specifically at responses that correspond to either homosexuality heterosexuality bisexuality or asexuality of all the questions on the scale cell considered those assessing sexual attraction to be the most important as sexual attraction as a better reflection of the concept of sexual orientation which he defined us extent of sexual attractions toward members of the other same both sexes are neither the neither sexual identity or sexual behavior identity and behavior are measured as supplemental information because they are both closely tied to sexual attraction and sexual orientation major criticisms of the SASO have not been established but a concern is that the reliability and validity remains largely unexamined topic difficulties with assessment research focusing on sexual orientation uses scales of assessment to identify who belongs in which sexual population group it is assumed that these scales will be able to reliably identify and categorize people by their sexual orientation however it is difficult to determine an individual's sexual orientation through scales of assessment due to ambiguity regarding the definition of sexual orientation generally there are three components of sexual orientation used in assessment their definitions and examples of how they may be assessed are as follows those sexual attraction behavior and identity are all components of sexual orientation if a person defined by one of these dimensions were congruent with those defined by another dimension it would not matter which was used in assessing orientation that this is not the case there is little coherent relationship between the amount and mix of homosexual and heterosexual behavior in a person's biography and that person's choice to label himself or herself as bisexual homosexual or heterosexual individuals typically experience diversity inand behaviors that may reflect curiosity experimentation social pressure and is not necessarily indicative of an underlying sexual orientation for example a woman may have fantasies or thoughts about sex with other women but never act on these thoughts and only have sex with opposite-gender partners if sexual orientation was being assessed based on one sexual attraction then this individual would be considered homosexual but her behavior indicates heterosexuality as there is no research indicating which of the three components is essential in defining sexual orientation all three are used independently and provide different conclusions regarding sexual orientation 7 Williams 2006 discusses this issue and notes that by basing findings regarding sexual orientation on a single component researchers may not actually capture the intended population for example if homosexual is defined by same-sex behavior gay virgins are omitted heterosexuals engaging in same-sex behavior for other reasons than preferred sexual arousal our miscounted and those with same-sex attraction who only have opposite sex relations are excluded because of the limited populations that each component captures consumers of research should be cautious in generalizing these findings one of the uses for scales that assess sexual orientation is determining what the prevalence of different sexual orientations are within a population depending on subjects age culture and sex the prevalence rates of homosexuality vary depending on which component of sexual orientation is being assessed sexual attraction sexual behavior or sexual identity assessing sexual attraction will yield the greatest prevalence of homosexuality in a population whereby the proportion of individuals indicating their same-sex attracted as two to three times greater than the proportion reporting same-sex behavior or identify as gay lesbian or bisexual furthermore reports of same-sex behavior usually exceed those of gay lesbian or bisexual identification the following chart demonstrates how widely the prevalence of homosexuality can vary depending on what age location and component of sexual orientation is being assessed the variance in prevalence rates is reflected in people's inconsistent responses to the different components of sexual orientation within a study and the instability of their responses over time lawmen at all 1994 found that among US adults 20% of those who would be considered homosexual on one component of orientation were homosexual on the other two dimensions and 70% responded in a way that was consistent with homosexuality on only one of the three dimensions furthermore sexuality may be fluid for example a person's sexual orientation identity is not necessarily stable or consistent over time but is subject to change throughout life diamon 2003 found that over seven years two-thirds of the women changed their sexual identity at least once with many reporting that the label was not adequate in capturing the diversity of their sexual or romantic feelings furthermore women who relinquished bisexual and lesbian identification did not relinquish same-sex sexuality and acknowledge the possibility for future same-sex attractions or behavior one woman stated I'm mainly straight but I'm one of those people who if the right circumstance came along would change my viewpoint therefore individuals classified as homosexual in one study might not be identified the same way in another depending on which components are assessed and when the assessment is made making it difficult to pinpoint to his homosexual and who is not and what the overall prevalence within a population may be topic implications depending on which component of sexual orientation is being assessed and referenced different conclusions can be drawn about the prevalence rate of homosexuality which has real-world consequences knowing how much of the population is made up of homosexual individuals influences how this population may be seen or treated by the public and government bodies for example if homosexual individuals constitute only 1% of the general population they are politically easier to ignore than if they are known to be a constituency that surpasses most ethnic and ad minority groups if the number is relatively minor then it is difficult to argue for community-based same-sex programs and services mass media inclusion of gay role models or gay straight alliances in schools for this reason in the 1970s Bruce volar the chair of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force perpetuated a common myth that the prevalence of homosexuality is 10 percent for the whole population by averaging a 13 percent number for men and a 7 percent number for women volar generalized this finding and used it as part of the modern gay rights movement to convince politicians in the public that weak gays and lesbians are everywhere topic proposed solutions in the paper who's gay does it matter rich Savin Williams proposes two different approaches to assessing sexual orientation until well positioned and psychometrically sound and tested definitions are developed that would allow research to reliably identify the prevalence causes and consequences of homosexuality he first suggests that greater priority should be given to sexual arousal and attraction over behavior and identity because it is less prone to self and other deception social conditions and variable meanings to measure attraction and arousal he proposed that biological measures should be developed and used there are numerous biological physiological measures that exist that can measure sexual orientations such as sexual arousal brain scans eye tracking body odor preference and anatomical variations such as digit length ratio and right or left handedness secondly Savan William suggests that researchers should forsake the general notion of sexual orientation altogether and assess only those components that are relevant to the research question being investigated for example to assess STDs or HIV transmission measure sexual behavior to assess interpersonal attachments measure sexual romantic attraction to assess political ideology measure sexual identity topic means of assessment means typically used include surveys interviews cross-cultural studies physical arousal measurements sexual behavior sexual fantasy or a pattern of erotic arousal the most common as verbal self reporting or self labeling which depend on respondents being accurate about themselves topic sexual arousal studying human sexual arousal has proved a fruitful way of understanding how men and women differ as genders and in terms of sexual orientation a clinical measurement may use penile or vaginal photo platysma graphi where genital engorgement with blood is measured in response to exposure to different erotic material some researchers who study sexual orientation argued that the concept may not apply similarly to men and women a study of sexual arousal patterns found that women when viewing erotic films which show female female male male and male female sexual activity oral sex or penetration have patterns of arousal which do not match their declared sexual orientations as well as men's that is heterosexual and lesbian women's sexual arousal to erotic films do not differ significantly by the genders of the participants male or female or by the type of sexual activity heterosexual or homosexual on the contrary men's sexual arousal patterns tend to be more in line with their stated orientations with heterosexual men showing more penis arousal to female female sexual activity and less arousal to female male and male male sexual stimuli and homosexual and bisexual men being more aroused by films depicting male male intercourse and less aroused by other stimuli another study on men and women's patterns of sexual arousal confirmed that men and women have different patterns of arousal independent of their sexual orientations the study found that women's genitals become aroused to both human and non-human stimuli from movies showing humans of both genders having sex heterosexual and homosexual and from videos showing non-human primates bonobos having sex men did not show any sexual arousal to non-human visual stimuli their arousal patterns being in line with their specific sexual interest women for heterosexual men and men for homosexual men these studies suggest that men and women are different in terms of sexual arousal patterns and that this is also reflected in how their genitals react to sexual stimuli of both genders or even to non-human stimuli sexual orientation has many dimensions attractions behavior identity of which sexual arousal is the only product of sexual attractions which can be measured at present with some degree of physical precision thus the fact that women are aroused by seeing non-human primates having sex does not mean that women's sexual orientation includes this type of sexual interest some researchers argue that women's sexual orientation depends less on their patterns of sexual arousal than men's and that other components of sexual orientation like emotional attachment must be taken into account when describing women's sexual orientations in contrast men's sexual orientations tend to be primarily focused on the physical component of attractions and thus their sexual feelings are more exclusively oriented according to sex more recently scientists have started to focus on measuring changes in brain activity related to sexual arousal by using brain scanning techniques a study on how heterosexual and homosexual men's brains react to seeing pictures of naked men and women has found that both hetero and homosexual men react positively to seeing their preferred sex using the same brain regions the only significant group difference between these orientations was found in the amygdala a brain region known to be involved in regulating fear although these findings have contributed to understanding how sexual arousal can differentiate between genders and sexual orientations it is still a matter of debate whether these results reflect differences which are the result of social learning or genetic or biological factors further studies are needed to clarify how much of people's reactions to sexual stimuli of their preferred gender are due to learned or innate factors topic culture research suggests that sexual orientation is independent of cultural and other social influences but that open identification of one's sexual orientation may be hindered by homophobic heterosis exist settings social systems such as religion language and ethnic traditions can have a powerful impact on realization of sexual orientation influences of culture may complicate the process of measuring sexual orientation the majority of empirical and clinical research on LGBT populations are done with largely white middle-class well-educated samples however there are pockets of research that document various other cultural groups although these are frequently limited in diversity of gender and sexual orientation of the subjects integration of sexual orientation with socio-cultural identity may be a challenge for LGBTQ individuals individuals may or may not consider their sexual orientation to define their sexual identity as they may experience various degrees of fluidity of sexuality or may simply identify more strongly with another aspect of their identity such as family role American culture puts a great emphasis on individual attributes and views the self as unchangeable inconstant in contrast East Asian cultures put a great emphasis on a person social role within social hierarchies and view the self is fluid and malleable these differing cultural perspectives have many implications on cognitions of the self including perception of sexual orientation topic language you translation is a major obstacle when comparing different cultures many English terms lack equivalents in other languages while concepts and words from other languages fail to be reflected in the English language translation and vocabulary obstacles are not limited to the English language language can force individuals to identify with a label that may or may not accurately reflect their true sexual orientation language can also be used to signal sexual orientation to others the meaning of words referencing categories of sexual orientation are negotiated in the mass media in relation to social organization new words may be brought into use to describe new terms or better describe complex interpretations of sexual orientation other words may pick up new layers or meaning for example the heterosexual Spanish terms marito and mujer for husband and wife respectively have recently been replaced in Spain by the gender neutral terms Konya gays are consortium eaning spouses topic perceptions one person may presume knowledge of another person's sexual orientation based upon perceived characteristics such as appearance clothing tone of voice and accompaniment by and behavior with other people the attempt to detect sexual orientation in social situations as known as gaydar some studies have found that guess is based on face photos perform better than chance 2015 research suggests that gaydar is an alternate label for using LGBT stereotypes to infer orientation and that face shape is not an accurate indication of orientation perceived sexual orientation may affect how a person is treated for instance in the United States the FBI reported that 15.6 percent of hate crimes reported to police in 2004 were because of a sexual orientation bias under the UK employment equality sexual orientation regulations 2003 as explained by advisory conciliation and arbitration service workers or job applicants must not be treated less favorably because of their sexual orientation their perceived sexual orientation or because they associate with someone of a particular sexual orientation in euro-american cultures sexual orientation is defined by the genders of the people a person as romantically or sexually attracted to euro-american culture generally assumes heterosexuality unless otherwise specified cultural norms values traditions and laws facilitate heterosexuality including constructs of marriage and family efforts are being made to change these attitudes and legislation as being passed to promote equality some other cultures do not recognize a homosexual heterosexual bisexual distinction it is common to distinguish a person's sexuality according to their sexual role active-passive insertive penetrated in this distinction the passive role is typically associated with femininity or inferiority while the active role is typically associated with masculinity or superiority for example an investigation of a small Brazilian fishing village revealed three sexual categories for men men who have sex only with men consistently in a passive roll men who have sex only with women and men who have sex with women and men consistently in an active role while men who consistently occupied the passive role were recognized as a distinct group by locals men who have sex with only women and men who have sex with women and men were not differentiated little is known about same sex attracted females or sexual behavior between females in these cultures topic racism and ethnically relevant support in the united states non-caucasian LGBT individuals may find themselves in a double minority where they are neither fully accepted or understood by mainly Caucasian LGBT communities nor are they accepted by their own ethnic group many people experience racism in the dominant LGBT community where racial stereotypes merge with gender stereotypes such that asian-american LGBTs are viewed as more passive and feminine while african-american LGBTs are viewed as more masculine and aggressive there are a number of culturally specific support networks for LGBT individuals active in the United States for example omoi for Vietnamese American queer females topic religion sexuality in the context of religion is often a controversial subject especially that of sexual orientation in the past various sects have viewed homosexuality from a negative point of view and had punishments for same-sex relationships in modern times an increasing number of religions and religious denominations accept homosexuality it is possible to integrate sexual identity and religious identity depending on the interpretation of religious texts some religious organizations object to the concept of sexual orientation entirely in the 2014 revision of the code of ethics of the American Association of Christian counselors members are forbidden to describe or reduce human identity and nature to sexual orientation or reference even while counselors must acknowledge the client's fundamental right to self-determination topic internet in media the Internet has influenced sexual orientation in two ways it is a common mode of discourse on the subject of sexual orientation and sexual identity and therefore shapes popular conceptions and it allows anonymous attainment of sexual partners as well as facilitates communication and connection between greater numbers of people topic demographics the multiple aspects of sexual orientation and the boundary drawing problems already described create methodological challenges for the study of the demographics of sexual orientation determining the frequency of various sexual orientations in real-world populations as difficult and controversial most modern scientific surveys find that the majority of people report a mostly heterosexual orientation however the relative percentage of the population that reports a homosexual orientation varies with differing methodologies and selection criteria most of these statistical findings are in the range of two point eight to nine percent of males and one to five percent of females for the United States this figure can be as high as twelve percent for some large cities and as low as one percent for rural areas estimates for the percentage of the population that are bisexual vary widely at least in part due to differing definitions of bisexuality some studies only consider a person bisexual if they are nearly equally attracted to both sexes and others consider a person bisexual if they are at all attracted to the same sex for otherwise mostly heterosexual persons or to the opposite sex for otherwise mostly homosexual persons a small percentage of people are not sexually attracted to anyone asexuality a study in 2004 placed the prevalence of asexuality at 1% topic kinsey data in the oft-cited and oft criticised sexual behavior in the human male 19:48 and sexual behavior in the human female 1953 by Alfred C Kinsey at all people were asked to rate themselves on a scale from completely heterosexual to completely homosexual Kinsey reported that when the individuals behavior as well as their identity are analyzed most people appeared to be at least somewhat bisexual ie most people have some attraction to either sex although usually one sex is preferred according to Kinsey only a minority 5 to 10% can be considered fully heterosexual or homosexual conversely only an even smaller minority can be considered fully bisexual with an equal attraction to both sexes Kinsey's methods have been criticized as flawed particularly with regard to the randomness of his sample population which included prison inmates male prostitutes and those who willingly participated in discussion of previously to boost sexual topics nevertheless Paul gehbert subsequent director of the Kinsey Institute for sex research re-examined the data in McKinsey reports and concluded that removing the prison inmates and prostitutes barely affected the results topic social constructionism and Western societies because sexual orientation is complex and multi-dimensional some academics and researchers especially in queer studies have argued that it is a historical and social construction in 1976 philosopher and historian Michel Foucault argued in the history of sexuality that homosexuality as an identity did not exist in the 18th century that people instead spoken sodomy which referred to sexual acts sodomy was a crime that was often ignored but sometimes punished severely C sodomy law he wrote sexuality is an invention of the modern state the Industrial Revolution and capitalism sexual orientation has argued as a concept that evolved in the industrialized West and there is a controversy as to the universality of its application in other societies or cultures non westernized concepts of male sexuality differentially from the way sexuality is seen and classified under the Western system of sexual orientation the validity of the notion of sexual orientation is defined in the West as a biological phenomenon rather than a social construction specific to a region and period has also been questioned within the industrialized Western society heterosexuality and homosexuality are terms often used in European and American cultures to encompass a person's entire social identity which includes self and personality in Western cultures some people speak meaningfully of gay lesbian and bisexual identities and communities in other cultures homosexuality and heterosexual labels do not emphasize an entire social identity or indicate community affiliation based on sexual orientation some historians and researchers argue that the emotional and affectionate activities associated with sexual orientation terms such as gay and heterosexual change significantly over time and across cultural boundaries for example in many english-speaking nations it is assumed that same-sex kissing particularly between men is a sign of homosexuality whereas various types of same-sex kissing or common expressions of friendship in other nations also many modern and historic cultures have formal ceremonies expressing long term commitment between same-sex friends even though homosexuality itself is taboo within the cultures topic la politics and theology two researchers raising 1995 serious doubt whether sexual orientation as a valid concept at all warned against increasing politicization of this area professor Michael King stated the conclusion reached by scientists who have investigated the origins and stability of sexual orientation is that it is a human characteristic that is formed early in life and is resistant to change scientific evidence on the origins of homosexuality is considered relevant to theological and social debate because it undermines suggestions that sexual orientation is a choice legally as well a person's sexual orientation is hard to establish as either an intrinsic or a binary quality in 1999 law professor David Cruz wrote that sexual orientation and the related concept homosexuality might plausibly refer to a variety of different attributes singly or in combination

SSpMtT8IKv4 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSpMtT8IKv4 | 30 Nucleophilic Substitution Details | [Music] hi this is dr. cook your camp 240 instructor let's take a look at the next video in this video we're going to talk about details that determine whether the reactions occur through an sn2 mechanism or through an sn1 mechanism one of those details is the degree of alkyl substitution of the alkyl halide substrates if we take a look at the various reactivity differences between them what we can see in an sn2 reaction illustrated by the substitution of a bromide for an iodide is that a compound that has only hydrogen's attached such as bromomethane reacts 221 thousand times faster than bromo propane which has a bromine on a secondary carbon and in between that reactivity is a primary bromide which has only one alkyl group and if you get up to three substitution groups on there are a tertiary halide the reactivity is so low that it's even too small to measure the reaction does not take place and the reason is because the reaction is crowded so here you can see with just hydrogen's it's wide open and if this substitution reaction occurs in one step then the nucleophile has to come from the backside kicking off the leaving group in this case the bromide so if it's wide open and free you can get in there easily as you get more and more substitution that's gets crowded and essentially it gets blocked so the nucleophile cannot reach the backside of the carbon that the reaction is taking place on thus its fastest when we have no substitution in the carbon it gets slower if it's a primary and the reaction occurs even more slowly if it's a secondary halide and the reaction essentially cannot occur if it's a tertiary halide so the steric effects of the substrate the more substituted it is the more difficult it is to do sn2 substitution reactions general rule of thumb only methyls primaries and secondaries can do sn2 reactions tertiaries can now what about the leaving group there are differences in reactivities of the leaving groups depending on how weak their bonds are and as I talked about in terms of halogens and I want to focus on the halogens if we look at fluorine as being set to a relative rate of the real action of one chlorine is 200 times more reactive than a fluorine bromine 10,000 times and an iodine 30,000 times so you can see that the trend of the reactivity of the halogens is exactly as we predicted based on the bond strengths weakening as you go from fluorine to iodine obviously fluorines are relatively inert and are very difficult to do these kinds of reactions so if you want to try to do a substitution directly kicking off a no H group or an nh-2 group that's gonna be very very difficult as well also there are leaving groups that are better than the halogens such as at oscillate group we're not going to focus too much on tousle eights but I just want to mention that other kinds of leaving groups can also be utilized for substitution reactions besides just the halogens well how does this all relate to the sn1 mechanism to remind you what the sn1 mechanism is it's a two-step reaction where the rate only depends on one thing hence a unis molecular reaction because the first step of the reaction is the generation of a carbo cation from the alkyl halide so the halogen bond breaks to form the halide generating a carbo cation intermediate that's the slowest step or the rate determining step in the next step the nucleophile in this case neutral water will add to that carbo cation in a second step so what's going to be important for the successor rate of this reaction only depends on the leaving group ability and the stability of the carbo cation that's generated here we can see the relative rates for the reactions for an sn1 substitution reaction and what we can see is that the degree of alkyl substitution also has a dramatic effect but opposite that of an sn2 reaction that is a methyl group essentially is unreactive as is a primary halide essentially unreactive but a secondary compound can undergo some reaction it's about 12 times more reactive than a primary but if you look at the tertiary substrate you can see it's 1.2 million times more reactive why is that more reactive well again in order to break the carbon halogen bond and generate a carbo cation you need to stabilize the carbo cation and tertiary carbo cations are much more stable than secondary much more stable than prime much more stable than methyl carbo cations so in this case the rate of the reactions for an sn1 reaction has everything to do with the ability to stabilize the plus charge on the carbon and essentially only tertiary compounds are capable of undergoing easy sn1 reactions it's possible sn1 reactions can occur on a secondary halide it's significantly slower than a tertiary halide well what about nucleophiles in those reactions we've talked a lot about the degree of alkyl substitution and how it affects these various reactions it's slow if it's crowded for an sn2 reaction it's fast if it's more substituted for an sn1 reaction because it stabilizes the carbo cation if we think about an sn2 reaction the nucleophile is also involved in the rate determining step because it's only a one-step reaction and thus the strength of the nucleophile matters a lot we can describe nucleophiles as being very good nucleophiles notice all of these are negatively charged so the charged species are more reactive and things like bromide iodide sulfides even some of these alkoxides and I should point out cyanide CN - these are all very very good nucleophiles medium reactive nucleophiles tend to be those that are a little bit more stable so when you have carboxylates which have resonance stabilization of the negative charge those are a little less reactive the halogens which are the most electronegative are tend to be less reactive as nucleophiles the neutral nucleophiles are also moderate in terms of the sulfur compounds in amine compounds nitrogen compounds these have moderate reactivity as nucleophiles and tend to not be as good in an sn2 reaction very poor nucleophiles are those that are things like acids or direct alcohols in that case you need to have very reactive carbo cation in order to react and so these would only participate typically in an sn1 type reaction where we first generate a very reactive carbon cation species the solvents have a dramatic affecting these reactions as well when we think about the substitution reaction it is a polar reaction and so in order to carry out these reactions we need to be able to have solvents which can soluble eyes ions and polar species so if you think about different types of solvents they can range in their abilities to stabilize ions and polar molecules for example if you just have things like alkanes halogenated compounds generally tend to be a little bit less polar benzene these are very nonpolar types of solvents and ions cannot readily dissolve in those when we think about solvents which are polar they have some functionality where we have polarized bonds within it so in this case of methanol or ethanol you can see you have a carbon oxygen bond which is polar water is a very polar molecule acetyl nitrile HMP a DMSO dimethyl sulfoxide or dimethyl formamide these are all solvents which are also polar but the difference is that we refer to these as a protic meaning they don't have a protic hydrogen attached acetic acid water alcohols these are all what we refer to as protic polar solvents because they have this somewhat acidic hydrogen that can undergo hydrogen bonding these polar solvents do not have those acidic hydrogen's that we see on the products element so these are referred to as a protic solvent these solvents vary in various polarities as you can see from this chart if we take a look at the sn2 substitution reaction this reaction which occurs in one-step what we have is a nucleophile that is reactive that has to react with the electrophile the transition state and the nucleophile we start with our polar species and their ions they have charges the leaving group has to be stabilized as we come off so what we can see here if we compare different solvents methanol having a relative rate of 1 what we see is water is a little bit faster than methanol dimethyl sulfide 1,300 times more reactive dimethyl formamide ysidro nitrile hexa methyl phosphor tri amid the reaction occurs fastest in that what is the difference between these solvents here and the solvents on the left that is these are protic solvents and these are a protic solvents and we see some polarity increases as you go among those a protic polar solvents so how do we explain this difference in reactivity with these solvents and why does it matter they're all have some degree of polarity well let's take a look at dimethyl sulfide this solvent on the upper-right and how it might interact in this particular reaction if we take a look at the starting material nucleophile in this case hydroxide or it's usually sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide we do need solvents that are polar to help stabilize that and make those ions soluble in the solution so for example if you have a polar solvent like dimethyl sulfoxide where you have negative ends these oxygens that can surround the cation and stabilize it and the positive ends of the silvers which can surround the negative charged species and stabilize it that's how we soluble eyes these ions in solution at the same time what we don't want is to completely make the nucleophile unreactive if you have protic solvents such as water in this case those waters actually form what we call hydrogen bonds to that nucleophile and by surrounding it too tightly it actually makes those nucleophiles less available to do reactions so it decreases the reactivity of nucleophiles this is why we want polar solvents which can solubilize these ions but we don't want them protic because the nucleophile is important in the sn2 reaction it's involved in this one-step reaction and the reactivity of that is going to matter compare this now to an sn1 reaction where the important part of the reaction is the formation of the carbo cation and the ionization of the halide off of this if you take a look at the solvents that are present for these protic solvents you can see an interesting trend that's different than what we saw with sn2 here we have acetic acid with a relative rate of 1 compare that to methanol with a relative rate of for a formic acid 5000 times more reactive and then water which is the most polar is 150,000 times more reactive than acetic acid and these are protic solvents the important part of this reaction doesn't involve the nucleophile so we don't have to worry about the reaction being inhibited by protic solvents as a matter of fact what we want is this hydrogen bonding to the ions to help stabilize it water does undergo hydrogen bonding to various things the nucleophile is only important in the second or slowest route step of this reaction the first step is the rate determining step which doesn't impact that at all the loss of the iodide is important stability of the carbo cation and ionization of those species the nucleophile is in the second step let's take a look at how this solvent might affect that so what you can see is that the carbo cation is still stabilized by the polar water molecules and the halide I've Illustrated bromide in this case hydrogen bonds and that helps that to come off and be stabilized so the more we can stabilize these species the better it's going to be when the reaction is proceeding so protic solvents are ideal for the sn1 reaction an sn1 reaction we know that the stability of the carbocation is most important so tertiary substrates work the best secondary and primary substrates don't react very readily with the sn1 substitution reaction we need to have the tertiary substrate to best stabilize the carbo cation compare that to the sn2 reaction where the nucleophilic attack is important and the less crowded that system is the better so in order for that attack to take place we need to have the minimal amount of crowding possible primary substrates work well secondary substrates also work pretty well tertiary substrates are not possible to undergo an sn2 reaction when we talk about the nucleophile for an sn2 reaction it's involved in the rate determining step so it's the stronger the nucleophile the better this is going to be in contrast to sn1 reactions where the nucleophile works even if it's a weak or neutral nucleophile because it's not involved in the first rate determining step it will react with a very reactive carbo cation if we think about the leaving groups actually the leaving group ability and the weakness of the bond is important for both of these processes if we can form stable anions that's ideal and for both sn1 and sn2 there's not much difference in the leaving group effect on the reaction both require good leaving groups and the reactions will go better if the leaving groups are better in terms of the stereochemical outcome sn1 reactions form carbo cations which are flat and planar and thus form a 50/50 mixture of an ant america products if you have a stereo genic carbon there whereas an sn2 reaction occurs with a hundred percent inversion of that stereo Center because we are doing a reaction specifically from the opposite side of the leaving group kicking it off and inverting those groups on there the solvents are important as I mentioned for sn1 we want polar protic solvents because we want the hydrogen bonding to the leaving group and for an sn2 reaction we still need polar solvents but protic solvents tend to inhibit the nucleophile so the a protic solvents are the best | DrCookNDSU | UC9mrBEqocxjc-7Q7oj7fpig | 2016-10-22 | Creative Commons Attribution

mean living room reading and something you might be interested in so before I call them back we looked into the book and said listen great great great story we'd love to talk to him he sounded really nice on the phone I called him and I get the machine that says if you got this message it's because I don't want to talk to you so please go away so so I lived the message well that was really harsh so that's how we first started our relationship we started to get to know each other but I have since got to know TN great guy super interesting story that I think you're all going to love is great storyteller every guy so please welcome our North Redding resident read his first book shots in the dark please welcome [Music] I just want to thank Sharon Keller and the folks here at the excellent library for somebody can get tonight to share my story a lot of people Brendon already a lot of you getting ready to read it as I could tell at the table here press and I hope everybody enjoys it a good story but a sad story as you'll see is that you read the bomb Rocco bolero was accused of a crime that he didn't commit jacket late early 60s spent the next 50 years in prison except for a several times that he managed to take a little in prison he did he always ended up back there and so I decided to write this story the reason I decided to write the story is because they grew up with it when this incident took place back in 1963 I was two so obviously I don't remember it too young to remember it but I do remember a lot of the stories that my family she would me over the years about this this character Rocco bolero and the stories that were shared with me had more to do with a cold-blooded killer who murdered my not who was 21 and murdered my cousin who was 2 so when they decided to write this book about eight or ten years ago my first approach was I was going to read a story about a cold-blooded killer Ravel's Bolero I went through a research base I talked to a lot of relatives a lot of people who knew things about what took place and it wasn't until I actually reached out to Rocco in prison requested a visit and the opportunity to speak with him it wasn't until then that I discovered that I was totally wrong and so was my family it turns out that Rocco wasn't guilty of this crime he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and that he didn't kill anybody he actually loved my aunt my cousin they were his family as he would describe them so my approach to the ball obviously had to take a total turn and that's what I went after over the next seven or eight years it was a long process as you can see 450 pages 50 years of material awful lot of people I spoke with over the years and this is the end result I hope folks enjoy it so what we're going to do tonight I'm going to have a brief agenda I won't bore you to death Michael if you do get boards and windows in the back thank you as you saw with the sign on the desk any of these book sales if you're familiar in North Reading there's a family that's down on their luck a little bit the young woman lost her husband years ago and she's raising two autistic children and her home is in Japanese so when I saw that on the North reading community page I decided to contribute any proceeds to that family madness I'm new to this town I've only lived here for a couple of years and prior to that I spent 50 years in Norwood so it was kind of a you know it kind of strange to move here and start to learn in a new town and get to meet people and learn my way around it I've discovered over the last couple of years that this is a great community and Sharon introduced me I'll just give me a quick biography of myself so you know a little bit of who I am I was born in Boston only there for a few years moved to know what as I said spent most of my time in Norwood and then later moved up to to North reading to be closer to my to my family my daughter and my grandchildren I have two and the dedication is to them if you've seen the dedication spoke dedicated to my little cherubs so I kind of delved into in my writing background just you know I write for a writ for a series of news page for the last 19 almost 20 years mostly high school sports but they have branched out a little bit I've done a lot of profiles on athletes but with that you still have to develop your interview skills you have to draw things out of them to be able to tell their story and with high school kids that's that's a real challenge so I got a lot of writers before I started to interview folks for this book so I told you a little bit about why I wrote the story what I'm going to do is I'm going to read section from the book and then I'm going to give you a few back room stories that you don't see in the book everybody seems to like those and then I'll open it up with some questions so let me put on my PJs readers if this gets really boring please tell me and I'll stop I've heard tell other authors who do readings from books it's not usually welcome in these environments but I found this passage I love writing it I love reading no all right this has been elite in the book and for those of you who just bought it and have it read it I'm not gonna give away a lot of the story by reading this it's just up a pretty exciting segment and it tells a lot about Rocco bolero and his capabilities when it came to eluding the police not for everybody the bet but on the television ed Sullivan was cracking jokes for a studio audience the volume was too low for Rocco to hear but he wasn't much interested what did catch his attention however was the sound of activity in the street below it was unmistakably car door slamming shut lots of them Rocco's heart sank like a ship's anchor to the sea bottom no it can't be he thought with growing alarm suddenly he was sweating profusely he rose from the couch and made his way over the window facing up to Chestnut Street Rocco turn to see if Jeanette and the girls have heard him give up they remained in the kitchen out of sight where the trembling hand he grabs grasped the thin sheer curtain framing the window and pulled the decide several inches taking break here and not to reveal himself to those outside leaning slightly forward to get a better look his suspicions were confirmed he froze spellbound by the gripping exhibition unfolding on the street below Anthony startled he reduced the curtain and spun around Jeannette was standing behind him what's the matter she asked deep concern overspread her pretty face the whole effing Chelsea police boss is out there he hits through clenched teeth Jeannette now joined by Joanna and Mary turned hill with pea but said nothing the trio that faces drawing remain silent as Rocco wrists another law jesusí Montes broforce and rats bread firmly chokehold there's got to be a hundred cops out there in Anthony I'm so sorry Janette stammering tears were forming in her eyes for what Helen who Helen she repeated that I kicked out of here she must have recognized you and called the police genetic turned out hit the nail on the head the shunned woman had in fact tipped off the cops an unidentified woman called Chelsea police headquarters and told patrolman and Rukia Taos key if you want rockabilly arrow come here now wrote reporter Robert Bassett for the Morning Edition it's 219 Chestnut Street Valera was here that she hung up with only minutes to spare Rockwell sprang into action he had to protect the girls listen up he insisted he circled the coffee table the three young woman remains speechless it faces pale with their look girls the cops will say he was hiding me I'm going to tell you that I was holding I'm gonna tell them I was holding you hostage stick to that story okay at the base of the staircase there was a dreadful commotion the police were assembling there was no attempt made by the contingent to mask their imminent approach Janette broke her silence but Anthony what she began but he cut her short just do as I say he showed it above the din of the gathering storm at the base of the stairs I'll take the heat the cops had become the file up the staircase the heavy combat boots studying loudly against the wooden steps muffled voices resonated from behind the apartment walls closing fast it was also rocof noted with a shudder the tell-tale metallic clicking sound as the lawman chambered shotguns but deadly shells Rocco brandished his 45 caliber and disengaged the safety unlike the night in combat Clifford on the icy roads of Roxbury when he had just two bullets to work with his weapon was now fully loaded Janette looked warily at the gun hostages right he asked as he pumped the clip and examined the contents capisce the girls nodded in unison an instant later all hell broke loose a police officer kicked in the door which splintered off the hinges and slammed violently against the inner wall shattered shards of wood flew in all directions several plainclothes policemen drawn swarmed into the apartment like a wave of Angry Hornets but the cagey jailbreaker they saw a Tartar he fled bolting from the room he spreads it through the kitchen and burst through another egress that led to an exterior porch at the rear of the triple decker the cops hardly pursued led by veteran Chelsea lawmen later identified as Captain Robert Renfro he dashed through the apartment was shot down low and ready to blast away and the distant background babies were wailing the assault on the apartment had woken Jeanette MacDonald Rijn bolero this is the police Renfro shouted Bronco realize she was hopelessly trapped the only means to escape the cram porch she quickly discovered was to leap over a three-foot picket fence feasible certainly but the building was surrounded by heavily armed police surely there were officers positioned somewhere in the alley below who would pounce once he reached the ground that was after he sustained broken bones on impact with the asphalt service detecting another door to his left Rocco reached for the dog and give it a twist it was a storage closet unlocked and filled with mops brooms and other cleaning materials he quickly ducked inside and closed the door behind him it was pitch-black in the inside of the tiny space holding his breath Rockwell listened intently within seconds the unmistakable sound of thudding boots could be heard on the porch inches away the future that was out of sight the corner there was no way to run closing his eyes tightly Rocko hastily weighed his options they were too he could burst out of the broom closet and go down shooting in a final deadly act of defiance or he could give up and let the courts decide his fate feeling around in the darkness Rocko sought the one item that might save his life his hand came to come up on a piece of cloth which he glimpsed just before filling the pulling the door shut drawing a deep breath he opened the closet door several inches and extended this hand outward in it he waved the white flag of surrender for a second he braced half expecting a copper than it to blow his hand off throughout the later found out that he could we reason to worry the Chelsea police would dispatch to apprehend the wanted man were issued to shoot shoot to kill orders the dragnet would take him dead or alive and they were onto the teeth prepared to wage a mini war and the quiet urban neighborhood if necessary according to newspaper accounts police had we included assorted shotguns carbines carbines submachine guns and gas bombs if they quarry so much has flinched it would have cost him his life raka wasn't aware of it at the time but tensions amongst the Chelsea police contingent were taught following a tragic event that occurred literally hours before it nearby Boston 46 year old police patrolman James B O'Leary was shot and killed during a foot pursuit of several liquor store robbery suspects the death of their brother in the line of duty still freshly imprinted on their minds these Chelsea police officers were taking no chances with the apprehension of the escape father I write bolero come out of there now dr. Renfroe who was stationed several feet from the Mika hiding place easy Bravo responded he tried to swallow but was unable his constricted throat was completely parched don't shoot I'm gonna slide my gun out okay do it slowly don't try anything stupid stooping down inside the closet brocco hitched the door open wider placed the 45 caliber handgun flat on the wooden porch service he gave the weapon a little shove with his with his fingertips sliding it towards the waiting police officers he then stood upright and slowly emerged into the open to find several scowling uniformed men glaring at him each was aiming a shotgun at his midsection just so you know on the cover of the book the gentleman - Rocco's left is rent from this picture was taken during a press conference that was held after this apprehension of Rocco he was a yes you could say celebrity especially the police so there were news channels there when this was taken there were scores of reporters cameras clicking news channels everybody it was on the TV that night that they finally captured all right before we move to the questions which I'm really looking forward to know I have a few side stories everybody like I said earlier it really enjoys these and I hope you did too Oh Fred keep them as brief as I can when I was researching this book obviously I had to reach up to Anna sort of the police agencies government agencies to get records reports of things that took place and one of the key events of this book had to do with an arrest of Rocco bolero on and associated as they were very truckload of stolen fur coats down to Providence it was fencing them through the patriotic group I'm sure a lot of people fans of this genre know that name and so they were bringing these coats down there and they were pulled over by a patrol power at North Attleboro police in it so I needed that report it was his kind of vital to the story as you'll see when you read it so when they called it off that over police records clerk I spoke with her name is Kathleen I told him what I need the date the incident and so forth and she said I'm really sorry to tell you this Dan some bad news all of our records were paper records they were stored in cardboard boxes in our old police station and we've since moved to a new police station but when we're in the old station that was a major flood and all of those records were destroyed I'm sorry to say that that record won't exist so I was disappointed but you know a good researcher always finds other means and so I set back in and started to think of ways I could get that story couple I was later my phone rang give him the Kathleen and my phone number and she said I have some really good news for you she said I went down to the records office of our new police station and out of about 200 cartons of records that were destroyed there's one left and my record was in it 37 pages of pure gold and it was a good report by these police offices thankfully did outline the entire arrest everything that was they even had prices they valued all the fur coats and so they could come up with a number of that Rocco was guilty of stealing just just amazing that that turned up a lot of things happened on that same vein where strange coincidences especially early on when I was collecting a lot of the research data so that's that's one story I reached out to Rocco after about a year maybe a little more of just research I wanted to kind of get my my information as much as I could before I saw him right around the time I turned 50 I got a I got a I guess you could say birthday gift if somebody was trying to write a book like this I sent a letter to Rocco asked him if I could come see him in the present and soon after that my wife and I went on a trip so we were away and he got the letter fairly quickly and couldn't get me in that fast enough he actually reached out to his sister who lives in Plymouth and gave her they got hold of my phone number and they were the messages they were sending parents trying to get me and I was away for a little while so when I came back they got all these messages Rocco wants to see you right away so I set up my first visit and I went up to MCI Norwalk to see him and it was it was amazing now one of the things during one of our interviews that Rocco would ask me is if I was nervous about coming into a prison I said no in the early eighties I had my career involve being an EMT I worked for a private email service and oddly enough that private dental service served MC had no mc8 at Walpole so I was in and out of those places probably as much of some of the inmates and so I told them that and I said it was really comfortable with being in the prison well one day I was checking in to go see him one of my twice weekly visits I did for two years it was really busy a lot of confusion in the processing area where they put you through the metal detector and they do pat-downs and they do all this crazy stuff to make sure you not bring anything into the facility and one of the things they do is stamp your hand with a invisible ink and then they have a black plate reader where they can scan that to make sure when you're coming out that you're not one of the inmates you know because that's been trapped and so during a really confusing moment when I was trying to get in they figure out the skin so I get in and I'm sitting with Rocco and we're chatting and then I realized all of a sudden oh no and I said he said what's the matter I said your Corrections offices forgot to stamp my hand I said what happens now and he just took he smiled I mean a little bit of a giggle and he says we have a place for you the state tonight yeah it's funny you know I I spent so much time in there I got to know the corrections offices one of them came over to me one day Rocco was coming down from the tear he sat down he says I'm not going to ask you why you come in here so often I'm kind of figuring it out but you know you do spend a lot of time here and most people don't like spending this time in this much time in prisons and they said well I'm meeting with this gentleman and I have conversations and let me ask you a question I said if I ever end up here do I get all this but I'm served and he said nope you're gonna do the whole bit there were some other incidences that that are pretty interesting all right two more one of them was Rocco got sick he came down with cancer he was at MCI North Walk at the time and eventually they moved him to the Shirley prison where they have a hospital unit and lastly at the the Shattuck hospital of Jamaica Plain and they also have possibly gotten something eighth floor virus still the whole nine yards in facilities but while he was still at North walk and he got sick I obviously couldn't visit him he was in the infirmary and there was no communications in or out of the prison he could communicate outward by calling family members they got 15 minutes a day it had to be paid for the government would charge these people along it make sure he makes families a set amount of money for those phone privileges and so Rocco could call out but obviously if he's laid up in the hospital affirming he can't make any calls so nobody knew what was going on with them we all know he was sick that was revealed but weeks went by where I didn't visit we didn't talk nothing and you know I had no idea so I used to work a part-time job as an ambulance dispatcher and I can say that because I don't work for this company go up a pulse - this book was written on their dime between answering phone calls you know what else was I gonna do you know so anyways I'm sitting there and you know thinking about what power was gonna find out what was going on with my friend Rocco bolero and I glanced up at the screen the computer screen and there was a call going on in the back of the ambulance one of our ambulances so I said about the task of tracking down the EMTs cell number she was in the back with him and we called and next thing you know I'm on the phone talking on the rifle bolero is he's in the back of an ambulance and I got the entire rundown on what was going on with him how his condition was he had some issues but he was gonna be okay at that point and it was it was really good to have a conversation with him and kind of you know get the school so that was a very strange coincidence oddly enough I worked for that end of service 25 years and obviously had the ability to look at previous ambulance calls and know you're not supposed to share that information but I can see them and that was the first time he ever wrote in one of our inabilities because I knew the next question was all those times that I went into the prison what did I ever take him for a ride and like I said I grew up with his name and my family from the age of two and know Rocco as I got to know him and we had our conversations and we got more comfortable each other started to introduce me family members and he had five brothers so there was six men six women 12 all together the mother was busy and there's one surviving now this sister Lucy they want to reach out to me while that was away she she's still around she's in her eighties there's a lakeside and nicely nice lady but he introduced me to his brother Billy Billy Palermo and this guy was a character the first time I met him Rocko set up the meeting and I was going to see him at his club in Revere it was called the revered businessmen's Association the r-va it was one of those places that doesn't have a sign on the front of it so you don't know what's inside yeah painted on windows exactly yeah so I was living in Norman at the time I didn't know Revere at all I dunno I didn't know then and so I got a little bit lost trying to find this place and I walked in and he's standing there with his arms folded across his this chest this big mob died and I walked in and I looked at him and he says you're late never met this guy in my life I said I'm sorry no more excuses you're late I thought this is this is gonna be tough actually sitting down and talking with this guy but he had a heart of gold he was amazing over time as I got to know him we my wife and I and him and his wife Linda would actually go off the meals once a month easily never let me pay he always had a gift yeah he was a funny guy you know I'll remember one day we were sitting there and he's he's caught beneath the coffin he says I gotta go outside have a cigarette no just just a great guy so over time we got to know each other better and he provided a lot of the information I mean granted the research most of my research was on my own sort of libraries in Rocco himself Rocco who used to send me greens stacks of documents newspaper articles affidavits court documents testimony you name it I it took me forever to go through this stuff it was it was pretty amazing and it proved what he what he said they had along with my discussions with a number of attorneys and police officers I had affidavits from police offices that that matched his story everything was corroborated I don't want to give away the actual night of the incident because that's the whole book revolves around that I'll leave that to you but I'll get back to Billy Billy Billy's an interesting character I took him on when Rocco was on his last leg he's at the Shirley I took the family members one might want to visit him kind of the last visit they were elderly long drive so I wanted each one I would take back and the ride with Billy was in traffic so we had quite a while together we had a great conversation I said look Billy tonight he told me things that I couldn't say then when he was still alive he told me about some of his bank robbery escapades you know I asked him I said Billy can ask it did you Gerry kill anybody he says yeah five like five you know you're a thief you don't I did man he says yeah but I fought in the Korean War there were five Chinese guys and I corroborated that - he did I tracked down the records in the end get all the medals to prove it so so we'd be driving along and you'd be telling me all these great stories and I said well I have one for you Billy he says hey what's that I said well it could be an urban myth but I started some of these blog on the Internet he says all right go ahead tell me about it all right so in 1963 him and his brothers opened up a club in the combat zone it was called the intermission Lodge it's actually still there it's a restaurant now but in the 60s it was a little bit different so women.this brothers opened that and they had a great band they were awesome they were called Roger pace and Roger was soft jazz and really popular a lot of people come in to see Roger and one of the other clubs up the street in his own managed to learn roger away with more money and it's a Rachel left and Billy got upset and went to visit the owner of the other club and he said to him I want Roger back into mission launch immediately and the other club boy when I said screw you later I'll get the hell out of my father is that your final answer he goes outside to his car he gets a shotgun and he locates the phone in his car parked in an alleyway nice Cadillac hey killed the car he shuddered chuckle walk shot everything so I'm telling the story and Billy sitting next to me in the passenger seat and I said so Billy urban myth or truth he didn't say anything I looked over and smiling it you know so so later on in our as we got to know each other even better he comes to me one day and he says Dan and want you to meet somebody special and I said okay who is it it's a surprise well aren't you gonna tell me who it is it's an effing surprise okay so our patient we ended up meeting Antonio's restaurant on Cambridge Street in Boston it's right across the street from the mass Channel and we sit down and so um I'm just enjoying my appetizer and talking small talk with Billy and now obviously at this point the research I knew what all the gangsters look like I had pitches of every one of them I knew who who was who and coming in the door with a couple of big guys behind him what's this little old man who I recognized as people along now at the time Peto alone was the head of the Cosa Nostra for about two years after he got out of prison and he was 33 years I'm ghetto and he ran them off here for a little while and I'm like no when they caught that speed along he says stand up stand up so I stood up and mr. Lamont comes over to me and I reach out to shake his hand and he hugs me and gives me an Italian kiss one on each cheek and he says come on sit down sit down let's let's talk and we're chatting and I'm sitting here and I'm thinking of myself I'm Dan Zimmerman I work for an ambulance company I live in Norwood and I'm sitting here with the head of the Mafia something not right so we talked and I am more comfortable and mr. LeMond was kind enough to give me information about Morocco time they spent together incarcerated that MSCI Walpole some great stories and every time he would tell me a story tell me he would share one I would ask him can I use that my book oh yeah oh yeah do it do it so as weird as he was leaving here to go he stood up and he said the typical line that I heard probably three or four times over the course of this dan any friend of Rocco was a friend of ours if there's anything you should ever need you call me first and they said mr. alone is there anything I can do for you he says yeah when you have your book signing you first I want to be first in line even ahead of your family he says but I'll buy 25 cards so great guy really great tough story he spent 33 years in jail for murder he did not commit he was framed by the FBI and kind of sad but happy guy because when he got out they sued the government and they won 25 million dollars so on his last year's he did pass away recently his last year's he built a beautiful house in Bedford his family gets to enjoy that money now your tax dollars good stories and I was glad to be him I was actually glad to meet him the last one all up here and this isn't the book was Rockland geology when hit but he passed away his family can't approach me and they asked me if I would mind doing a trilogy sorry but I wrote the eulogy and here we are at st. Anthony's Church in Revere I'm up at the podium and I look out at the audience friends family gangsters ex-cons police officers you name it they're all there but one of the things they discovered during the course of my eulogy was that Rocco did not die at all he he feared that he feared dying in prison he once told me when he was at Norfolk that he did he worked in the war for a stretch of time he said Dan I don't know how I'm gonna pull this off there's no way he actually succeeded he ended up at the Shattuck and that's where he passed away any best way with friends my wife and I the family his family didn't know that they had no idea I didn't just call him up and say hey by the way we were sitting there when Rocco died we kept it to ourselves until the time of the eulogy and I added and shocked faces after it was over would they all came over to me and thanked me and it was so happy to hear that he had if friends people with him when he passed away we went back to the RBA afterwards this is interesting for whitey a couple of drinks my wife and I was sitting at the bar and Billy bolero comes over he owned the place and puts his arm around each of our shoulders he said look he says we're drinking here and I lost my local license he says I'm guessing that neither one of you have been arrested no we haven't he says all right so as the cops come in the front door I want you to screw off the back door so I walked over to get a plate of food now earlier at the church we my wife and I was standing in the lobby kind of looking over the audience people that were going to be there and we saw this guy he's standing there cute look like sima tight shirt the jacket the shiny shoes the whole nine yards in the entourage circle circle around him was like you know who's that that's gonna be somebody so after the funeral women back at the RBA I'm walking back to the plate of food and I feel into my shoulder to begin and I turn around and start over he says yeah my name's Phil Popolo I'm a very good friend Rocco boleros and what you did for him we can't thank you enough for that so I want you to take down my number and make sure I think that we shouldn't need anything you call me first so as soon as I get home I'm on the computer Philip oppelo extortion racketeering beating up people for money either so it was funny one one last thing of the young the after dinner was sitting back at the bar again and in comes a photographer the family hired a photographer they had kind of a tradition that when somebody in the family died they took a picture of the remaining Aeroplan I thought that's kind of a little bit of odd but you know people do things and so we're sitting there and I'm kind of observing all of a sudden I get Billy Valero y'all Dan married get your asses over here we want you in the picture I have pictures of myself surrounded by a my family and as I'm walking back to the bar for the last time one of the nephews comes over to me says hey Dan how's it feel to be on the FBI bulletin board yes I was on the list is the number one contact his family like I said earlier it was kind of on the elderly side not a lot of cell phones in the mix it's a difficult you know difficult to reach so my wife and I offer ourselves up and the family agreed to that they said you know and so I got a call from the physician yes so we were we were the number one contact and I actually chose we decided not to is maybe nine o'clock at night it wasn't too late but I chose not to call the rest of the family until the next day it was real really wasn't something I had to wake people up or wrinkles in the middle of the night and so we called the next day to let them all know anyone else gives Mike he said growing up yes all the stories monster yes yes I'm curious I see this question coming out and it's your family as such or do they still feel that way if you've been honest yes and no two of the principal people that I interviewed were my uncle who was Maya Toby's brother obviously and my father was at the time my uncle was a little bit concerned about the questions I was going to ask but I kept it gentle and my father said to me when I first approached him with the idea that I was going to write this book and I could use his help said I prefer to leave let sleeping dogs lie but if you feel strongly about it I'll help you keep in mind both of them thought I was gonna write the cold-blooded killer story one of the things that happened after Rocco passed away is the Bolero family decided to add my wife and I to visualg for everyone to see including death and he was of the belief that what I the story I had to tell was not the accurate one he was one of the very very few fact I can count on one hand how many people disagree and that's only because it's ingrained in them so many years that had gone by that they believed that X happened was Y and no matter what I did I couldn't commit something was just too stubborn to to listen to listen to reason my uncle Toby's brother I turned him he's still uptight about talking about it when we check and ready for lunch and we never comes up with the conversation he's still a little bit uptight about it but I did turn he and I I provided whatever you wanted I said look I want to give you some documents these affidavits read them and tell me and all the time he actually was on board and he provided quite a bit of information for me my my aunts yeah book was huge a diary there were entries in this diary bed it's stunning to read and these are things that if I hadn't been able to convince him of my beliefs and the others he might never come forward and tell me yes yeah three weeks three weeks of twice weekly visits so about six visits to hours a piece 12 oh yes and then what I did is my research I began to find things to corroborate the story yet itself I did just the way they're never up the Bolero throwing arm around my shoulder and tell me I didn't kill your honor I loved her I wanted to make sure that I was doing the right thing what I was very early very early yeah a couple of documents the first arguments that he sent me when he started to send out stuff or court affidavits from investigating detectives sergeant detective Matthew King was instrumental and basically laying the blame on others not Rocco he agreed that it wasn't Bravo that fired the deadly bullets it was actually police officers not intentionally it was he in jail for those murders is that what I'm for yes and why was there had a retrial it was it was it was what took place he he was trying to convicted along with two associates that were within the shootings initially they were found guilty and sentenced to death in 1963 the death penalty was still existed in Massachusetts that was later overturned when they covered the death penalty but he remained life and the reason he remained in for life was during one of the appeal approaches his attorney who happened to be his cousin was young and inexperienced made a deal with the judge that if Rocco were to plead guilty to first-degree murder that his brother and the third gentleman would go free after just 10 years on a manslaughter charge and Rocco pushed back he didn't want to agree with that it was a bad deal I talked to one attorney in Boston and I said how is it in those days to plead guilty to first-degree murder what what's what wheels get sent in motion he says a better scenario for you Dan he says you always plead innocent or not guilty to first-degree murder charges at least try and make them work for it don't just hand it to them and he says you know I'll draw a picture for you you're standing in the gymnasium with a gun there's a guy standing there and you're about to shoot them there are a hundred people circled around you and they're all taking pictures of you do it and when you get into court you tell them not guilty that's how you just don't admit it because once you admit it he's done for and Rocco under coercion from his family members feeling that it was his fault that it's probably got dragged into this and his brother had a new baby Rocco agreed to the deal they get off in ten years he stayed in forever the only time he got out of prison after that he'd escaped twice pride it to the night of the shootings he was very good with a hacksaw blade as he proved very good without some bleep but the only time he escaped after the trial enough to being convicted was he walked away from a work detail and ended up with friends in San Francisco eventually they tracked him down a brought her back that was his only time there were times prior to that the late 70s everybody remember governor Dukakis well one of the good things that he did was for inmates in prisons he said that the set up a program called the furlough program and a lot of long-term inmates who had shown that they were well behaved and doing the right thing to go out actually leave the prison's on the weekends go visit family Rocco went to his brother's wedding and then returned basically they were it makes Monday through Friday you know it was like a job but then word came down from some people have a concern that crimes would be committed during these furloughs and the pressure was on to stop the program and Rocco got rid of that and it was upset and decided to leave he was gone for a few months spent some time off the west coast admired the Golden Gate Bridge save the two-year-old girl from drowning my aunt the bullet in her shoe shot the head the bullet was so badly fragmented they couldn't do anything ballistics wise and my cousin who was - was all of 40 pounds soaking wet the bullet that hit him in the abdomen was a passed through and they found during the shootout that took place they found 40 bullets in the walls some police bullets some bullets yes [Music] why did it take me so long to write it but my wife will answer that I wanted to do this to bowl they wanted to tell borracho story Bronco actually wanted to tell the story I was his his voice that was his mouthpiece a lot of what you see in this book besides the quotes the things that he said himself I took the time to write it send it to him during a correspondence between us and get his approval do you like how I did this and he would say yes it's perfect or no I don't like this line he would actually be my pre publishing editor as a matter of fact the photo on the cover now everybody would agree that Rocco looks a little gangster ish if that's a word he looks tough and when okay mo his sister Lucy called me and she said din why did you use that picture we have so many pictures of Rocco who looks he's smiling he's happy what why couldn't she is one of those I said Lucy you brother wanted this picture on the cover he wanted this picture this is what he chose you got to keep that in mind I mean it it's perfect you have to you have to admit it's a perfect picture for the story the other thing we tried in addition to writing and researching this quote we tried to get Rocco a commutation we tried to get him out during his late years after after he was diagnosed with cancer we tried to push a medical release so that said he could get out and spent some time on the outside of the walls before he passed away his sister lucy has a huge house on a lake employment that she had room for him even envisioned when we talked about it he would envision sitting in a boat reading a book and just floating around on the water you know simple things like that but the government Massachusetts is very very difficult the commutation reached the governor's desk and it was denied then soon after that a group of senators headed up by a woman named Patricia Jaylin actually drafted a bill to get early medical release for inmates with sickened terminal cancer whatever maybe to get them out early so they can spend some time with their families and they actually went to visit Rocco was one of their people they interviewed at the at the prison hospital they had to be there and it was hoped that this bill would pass in the State House and that some of these these people would get an opportunity to the outside and the bill failed so there was no there were a lot of things happening as far as Rocco personally along with the book to tell this story [Music] you yeah that were in prison for it was a simple letter was only a couple paragraphs I'd want to delve too deeply into it because I was afraid at scaring off quite they are quite the contrary he he basically got me dragged in their little funny story Rocco had been approached by a number of writers to do this story and he turned them all down he wanted the right person and when he discovered me the fact that I'm a relative of the victim a woman that he loved was when I first met him I was sitting in the visiting room at NCI golf walk and he comes through this opening after his processing and obviously I knew what he looked like he didn't know what I look like so I stood up and put my hand up to let him know who I was and he comes over to me and I reach out my hand to shake it shake his hand and he throws his arms around me he gives me a big hug and he says I can't believe it standing right in front of me Toby's DNA called a lot of things but DNA and you know the corrections officer quickly bring it over and separated this page and I'm supposed to have that kind of contact but yeah I was his I became his mouthpiece and he trusted me because I was a relative you know I've done all the side things the little things you don't have to do furball I went to visit my aunt grace a she's in greater than not Everett and Mark is in a pauper's field in West Roxbury they were separated at death by my family one of the reasons was that Toby was Jewish and she was buried in a Jewish cemetery mark was not baptized Catholic and those rules back in the early sixties were very strict about burying non-jewish people in the cemetery so they separated by boat she did what the daughter was six months old real quick side story on a Bernice one of those other things that I did not have to do but I did are we getting closer I'll tell this real story real quick because it is interesting Bernice obviously didn't play a huge role in the story she was six months old she survived the shootings obviously and she went on nobody in the family whether it was her father's family or my family and the means to a doctor so she was adopted by the family and Kim is there his room this where it gets crazy she's my first cousin obviously didn't know who she was where she was what she was doing so when I tracked I tracked her down I took the time to track her down even though I didn't have to there's no one to do there I wanted to curiosity where is she what happened to her so proof in children's and family division in Boston I got some help from a social worker there and she helped me find her we ultimately communicated after a couple of months talked on the phone come to find out she grew up in Cannon I grew up in Norwood literally 3 or 4 miles apart she went to school to become a nurse I went to school to become an EMT she worked at the Norwood hospital emergency room I brought patients into the Norwood hospital emergency room and I said to her I said can I ask you what you looked like yeah I guess I'm kind of attractive and I'm blond I didn't like a skier she says no I'm just one of those small coincidences but the worst part about it was she she lost her mother Toby and these shootings she got adopted her adopted mother was taking her on for some some cancer treatments and driving back to their home in Canton they encountered something somebody who will might remember it's called the blizzard of 78 and the acongress stuck by access road down by the Norwood Airport it was over overrun by snow the exhaust pipe filled and they smelled it to death so this girl can she was 16 at the time this girl lost two mothers both tragic but she's okay today know she's one of the other people that's the Bolero family a lot of them are gone I talked with Lucy I talked to some of the nephews and nieces yes as a matter of fact when the book came out and it's Facebook and people start to buy it some of the relatives that I didn't know about it's calling me it's so far it's all good yeah everybody's been happy with what I had to say so anyone I don't want to upset any of the Bolero plan that spent too much time developing that relationship i sat next to many nights while you were on the flock I admitted that Dave I was on the clock but hey mr in milks and I can say nah because in the long run business and they can't come after me it was a paragraph literally seven to eight years a paragraph at the time in between calls yes the original edition the finished product that I had was 600 pages and I knew that was torn off migrate long those of you read the book you'll see that I wait long so they asked me to reduce it it was a huge battle between me and two editors a lot of ugly discussion mostly by email thankfully because some of the words weren't pleasant and when push came to shove I was getting upset about some of the things they wanted me to cut out the story about Billy Billy Ron the intermission lines are there to look at folks the end of the thought that didn't have anything any meaning for the story that's a great story it's got a steak meeting Peter alone they suggested they take that out as well and I wouldn't do it it's like all the publisher I said look we're gonna put up a shut up right now I said I've been dealing with your editors I don't like them I will I will cut down on the book myself to a reasonable length and let's publish and he finally he was so frustrated with me he said you know what fine it's your book just just go with it so I got it down to 450 without really cutting anything important it's just a lot of fluff Thank You officiate and I appreciate it was a somebody would remember back in the early 80s there was a an incident with some Everett and Chelsea police officers stormed a hotel room and ended up King OTT this yes yeah the place is no longer there it's now part of the Wynn casino complex but the stories are remain and trust me it's it's gonna be fun to write and it's gonna be scary to write and the reason it's gonna be scary to write is and I talked to my friend out in the West Coast Johnny sarong we were discussing it and he says dude you can't write that book and I said why he says he says it's dangerous and this is a gangster telling me this right and I said well Johnny I just finished writing a book where I was sitting at dinner with the head of the Mafia and other gangsters he says Yavin those are cops I'm gonna do it give it myself 18 months it won't be seven years and I'm above you Rama so thank you again I know a lot of people already grab the books in my signature any proceeds from these books going to the Mellow family here and North Reading they're down on that luck young woman went to young artists and daughters at night I guess our house is in jeopardy so my wife and I decided that any book sold tonight we turn the proceeds over to that they have a GoFundMe page so thank you for those who have bought purchase [Applause] [Music] [Applause] you [Music]

tMCUUFY5Heg | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMCUUFY5Heg | Meeting with Juilliard Curriculum Specialist Stephanie Cunningham | so uh steph we've we've now spoken about the the last few days and how things have gone uh we we've certainly learned a lot you you've uh really inspired us again what what can i uh expect for the future then where where are we going with our collaboration uh with with juilliard well this is a long-term relationship carl and so while i've just had one virtual visit this year focused on drama i'll be in contact with the drama teachers throughout the year we're going to be doing some some virtual check-ins and always in contact via email and meetings like these and then there will be two more visits later in the year from uh salah for dance and steve for music this year and really what we as a juilliard team are working on is you know gathering some information and working with your staff and faculty as a team to see how can we unify a department how can we figure out how to stretch how um where drama and dance is available in both primary and secondary schools and how we can unify the juilliard approach going forward so that the performing arts is a really well-oiled machine i hear you have quite the turnout for the parent forum how did the session go i was so thrilled that so many parents came to our forum carl and they were asking great questions and from by the looks that they were participating and giving things a try and really wanted to understand what this relationship was and i'm happy i think we could we cleared up a lot of misconceptions about what the collaboration isn't and i think a lot of the hesitancy we get from parents is thinking it's going to be this performing arts career training program and um so i think it was really great to dispel some of those myths and get them a little taste of what's actually happening in their classrooms and i got to spend a lot of time with them and weren't they so confident stuff that you know so many of the parents really threw themselves into the you know the activities that you led us through yeah and it was amazing to see i had a couple of their students there were a few year 10 parents a lot of primary parents which was wonderful and a few year 10 parents and i could definitely see the enthusiasm from their households when i got to spend time with their students you know the following evening which was wonderful so i get to spend two class periods with year tens who are really have the enormous challenge of transitioning a piece that was almost done with their coursework monologues that were blocked in the studio and pretty close to ready to go and suddenly have to really change over to a virtual situation and so suddenly they have choices about their backgrounds and their space and how they're moving where they're placing the camera and but the kind of intelligence that they all brought to it and critical thinking and curiosity about what's possible was just so fun to play with we had a wonderful time i was like what if you put the camera over there and what if we tried this and i think it's really going to shine through with their coursework this year with not only the choices they made internally with the their character choices but you know how resilient they were at changing last minute to a virtual situation it's a huge credit to the school that's great to hear and i i love it when you start uh digging into some of the attributes and the skills that an engagement in the performing arts could really bring to our students and maybe you could uh give us a little bit more about what the the underlying principles and aspirations of the collaboration are for our students because i know it goes much wider than purely performing arts as a skill set i think the biggest thing that i'm seeing even just from what amanda's brought back in drama from my first visit to now is um their creativity is ignited and they're so much more curious about their own work about what's possible in their own choice making and that kind of wide open field instead of following things to the letter of an instruction but actually asking what's possible how can we think outside um what the instructions might be or uh what the example is i think a big thing i'm seeing is by flipping you know all of the aesthetic examples that they're getting to the end of their class periods with the juilliard approach they're approaching their own work with a new boldness which is really great and it was fun to hear last year when i came to visit how much they liked their own pieces better than some core work we ended up showing them which i think is a huge credit to them and that they were invested what they're doing and their collaboration with each other and it was really wonderful yeah and that's really love that well what one of the the key features for me of the juilliard approach is that flipping where uh the aesthetic piece is held back you you deny the access to the the professional performance until there's been some really uh deep investigation of a particular dimension of of performance and and it almost uh builds the uh suspense as to what you're going to see at the end and i think that's a great part of the the lesson structure did you get any feedback on the the nature of that lesson structure from either you that working alongside our teachers or the students themselves uh yeah i think the biggest growth there from kind of this year with the i did get to visit the year nines last year in the year tens this year so there's some students that i actually got to recognize and we're thrilled to see again um and i think the biggest growth there is just the the reflection of their own work and what they're seeing uh mirrored in the professional juilliard core works is um it's a more it's a deep more meaningful engagement because they have so many experiences to bring to it and they're not afraid to ask questions or you know make bold comparisons about the work that they're seeing and the world around them and the work that they're creating and that's really exciting that that's just taking off and you know i hope i don't get to see them in their other subject areas but from what amanda's told me that's trickling down into how they're critically thinking about some of their literature and you know science and that's wonderful and and isn't that one of the uh underpinning aims of the juilliard approach that it's not not an approach that roots itself uh in in some rigorous constrained way in uh in drama specifically the the hope and the the aspiration is that it it leaks through uh in terms of uh you know mindset and and aspiration and attributes and skills into all other areas of the curriculum as well and actually into the the character of the of the child and you managed to do all of that with a cold call on the parents in the the parent forum as well and it was great to see so many of them taking the steps the key steps through uh through what one of the the juilliard uh lessons and and actually um you know absorbed the purpose as well they got it and they were reflecting that back to you and i i was hearing those uh those mums of year 10 drama students talking about the approach now and i would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when their their children got home all back back in to conversation with them later uh and and they were able then on more of a level to talk about the learning in the day and that's something that i think we should be trying to empower parents with more so that idea of being able to from an informed standpoint engaging the learning that's been going on uh but is that something that that you're trying to achieve in the parent forums i believe so i think the knowledge is power and dispelling a lot of myths but also just having an open dialogue and even accessing some of parents own artistry really helps them relate to the kind of the open questioning and the inquiry that we're asking their students to engage in and if that happens around the dinner table later and the students get to share some of their enthusiasm for either choices they've made or work they've created or a juilliard core work that they got to have a meaningful encounter with then that's amazing that's the that's the goal and look uh final thing for me is you know how how is all of this new approach to connecting with communities you know through uh zoom or or meter or so how has that uh required you to adapt your approach personally it's been a fascinating journey and um and it's a really wild i think one of the major challenges with drama is when you're in a virtual setting you literally have this box around you and so it feels more like film and so the challenge becomes how do you bring in a theatrical sense of being and a theatrical aesthetic to something that's much more essentially a close-up in a film so asking students to stand back from their cameras asking them to be off camera so they can really explore their whole bodies because we kind of end up limiting ourselves to what we can see so that's been fascinating and we've gone through juilliard this past year has gone through every lesson that we've written and tagged them on our website for either being easy for teachers to adapt for virtual synchronous virtual asynchronous teaching um socially distance you know um and for you guys the sop measures that are in place uh and so teachers have can search all of that and find material that will be adaptable for them because their jobs have been difficult as enough as it is without having to re-adapt lessons that they're they're getting from us so it's been a really fascinating journey i've learned a lot and i think um the the biggest thing the biggest hope that i'm holding on to is that students can still connect and collaborate with each other over this medium sometimes even better than we the generation above can imagine so i think students will have no problem having meaningful encounters and then going back to normal whenever that happens yeah and i i really hope so too uh steph thank you so much for uh joining us at bskl for the last few days and sharing everything that you have i know that you've inspired students and teachers alike so always a pleasure to have you with us thanks again thanks | The British International School of Kuala Lumpur | UCAYJEbMSpKfddk-1z6RGwQA | 2020-11-20 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata |

5nzB82EoGfk | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nzB82EoGfk | Tyler Hoffman: Private Wojtek, Soldier Bear: A Tale in Three Maps (2022 Spatial Lightning Talks) | so yeah so for those of you who know me i do pretty computational mathematical work um but history has always been a passion of mine and i i love this story so uh i usually tell it in maps anyway so i think this is a perfect example of a case where space plays a pretty big role in history as well so in 1939 um the molotov ribbon trot pact between hitler and stalin engaged as poland was invaded and split along this line called the kurzon line this was the beginning of world war ii when this split happened polish soldiers that were in either side of poland got taken to either german prison camps if they were in the west or soviet prison camps if they were in the east we follow the story of the 22nd artillery division that was in the eastern side of poland and got sent to a prison camp near almaty kazakhstan in 1942 after pearl harbor um there were the us entered the war and uh things changed a lot so suddenly the soviets were allied with the poles as they entered the war on the other side and um the poles were pushed out of the prison camp they were allowed to leave and exit and walk freely but they were not given many instructions so on their trek down from almaty through northern iran a high in the albors mountains they came across a mother bear who was dying by the side of the road and her cub they took the cub had to save it and they traveled down to tehran where they were boarding a ship to leave and go elsewhere and help in you know in the rest of the war effort and at the the doctor uh they were you can sort of imagine the situation a soldier comes up they say you know name rank etc and uh the soldier boards the ship and then a bear walks up and they say name rank etc and uh the bear doesn't have a name or a rank so they're like you can't board the ship uh and instead the the soldiers confer and they come back and they say no this bear is named private voy check and he is a member of our battalion so the uh you know private warchick became a soldier uh with the 80s the 22nd artillery division and he fought in north africa he used to smoke cigarettes drink beer and look down the bottle and the bottle was empty he would sleep with the soldiers for warmth and wrestle with them and was memorialized in statues and at the battle of monte cassino in operation olive the re-invasion of italy um he was he played a pretty important role he helped to carry artillery boxes mimicking what the other soldiers were doing and actually played a pretty important role in in supplying the artillery division high up on the hill from where the artillery was being supplied and so his his legacy can be remembered and is idolized in the uh the emblem of the 22nd artillery that's still this way to this day and um he lived out the rest of his days in edinburgh where he would recognize his former comrades whenever they came to visit that's all i've got how did you end up on this topic from grant um so i used to study history uh and i i learned i i would i would delve really deep into the into the nitty-gritty of the the course of world war ii and um causes i think this was for a project and i i was reading a book and uh they sort of this this was a footnote in the book and i was like no you can't you can't relegate the story of a soldier bearer to a footnote like that so i i did some digging and came up with these details from eyewitnesses and i mean he lived until the 60s so uh his comrades were able to visit him in edinburgh way into his old age and uh their their stories are well documented | UCSB Center for Spatial Studies | UC5HiWCgZU-YjG647V_KTM7A | 2022-04-26 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 705 | 3,533 |
Z0_L_G4xEdI | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0_L_G4xEdI | The Drake London Story | Rookie Spotlight | Atlanta Falcons | For our fans who may not know who you are, what kind of player can they expect on game days? Somebody fearless Throwing it up for London, letting London make the play. Somebody who wants to work. somebody who wants to get Ws. And that's what we're talking about. The freakish skill and the confidence. Completes, Drake London, he'll make some people miss. We want Super Bowls. If you're not getting Super Bowls then what are you doing? Pressure still coming in now. Unloads down the sideline. London goes up and makes the catch. And they flood the zone for London. Drake London touchdown. Hello. How do you do? There's so many things going on that day. We were just concerned that Drake was, you know, good. He was happy, fed, drinking water. Everything was good. We had a little chirps of might be this might be that. We're sitting there and we kind of had an idea, but, you know, anything is possible on where he was supposed to be picked. Right around pick number five. I think that was the Giants if I'm not mistaken, is where things started to get very, very real because you can hear... In the draft room, it's a little bit it's a little bit faster than television. So you can see who's being called and you can see the families that are getting up and starting to celebrate. All of us had been so nervous the the prior days even leading up to it. But when the Falcons were on the clock, we're like, OK, OK, my husband and I are holding hands. We're like, OK. And we're like, Drake, is your is your phone on? Are you sure your phone's on? So we're just waiting for it to happen. Waiting for it to happen. And then, OK, Atlanta Falcons are on the clock and everything is just silent. It was pins and needles. It was just quiet. And we haven't heard any claps and so we're like, OK, is it going to happen? Is it not? Our stomachs are in knots. We're all sitting there really silent and we hear just it was you could hear a pin drop. And it seemed like it's 15, 20 minutes, but it's not. But it seems like it's 15 or 20 minutes and you don't hear any of the families celebrating. You don't hear anybody else getting the phone call. So you're like, OK, maybe, maybe they're going to go a different direction, maybe they're not going to go this direction. And then it was so quiet that you could hear not only the ring, but the buzzing of his phone. And you hear his phone in his lap, just start vibrating. With the 8th pick in the 2022 NFL Draft the Atlanta Falcons select... From early early on, I mean he he walked really early at nine months old and so it was like movement constantly, but anything with a ball he was just drawn to. I got to be spoiled with him my whole childhood. He is just so lively, he loves to have fun, he can dance so good. He's a good dancer. Believe it or not, It was probably very very early, before even Pop Warner when he was playing flag football. So I would probably say 7, 6. But he just had something about him that just turned on when he was on the field or on the court. And he was very passionate. His first grade teacher in our parent teacher conference told us she never had a kid yet that knew what they were passionate about and he knew what he was passionate about. Football and basketball. Ever since I can remember, once I knew that that could be a job of yours and you didn't have to work a nine to five, it was straight line all the way to there the whole time. I hesitated to to to take it so far because I'm his dad, right? So of course my, my opinion is going to be biased, But he's showing these star qualities from a very young age. And so we kind of kept it like to ourselves, were like, OK, we know, but we're not going to go around town telling everybody he's a number one everything. We're going to let other people figure it out for themselves. And they did. He's continuing to show me these things physically as his physical attributes as a basketball player and as a football player against other kids. And I can't keep denying that what I'm seeing is pretty fantastic. Right? Because I've seen a lot of children athletes. I was an athlete myself, and I often call it physical genius. Like you see someone who who's able to play the piano a certain way or someone who's ever played the violin a certain way. What he's able to tell his mind and how his body receives it and responds is freaking amazing. There was a certain point where, you know, he was bigger than most of the other boys his age, even though he was younger. And they would say "he shouldn't be on the field, he shouldn't be on the field." We used to have to have him kind of tone it down because he would use all his fouls when he was younger in basketball and some of the other parents like, you know, they're just watching their kid get crushed. And you're like you're like "Drake. You can't do that." You know once he's in between the white lines, anyone who steps into these lines should be prepared for whatever's coming. And that's just how he plays every down. It was it was an eye opening moment for me as well. But once he's off the field, aw man, he's he's a prankster, he's a jokester, he loves to have fun. I mean, he's a different kid on and off the field. People are like "he's a monster on the field," and he's just such a cuddly bear with us though. Sorry, Drake. We all are very close, the four of us, and he wants to see everybody win. You know, he's very, very competitive. But all of us are that way where it's like, we want to see everybody win and there's enough space for everybody. But I would say, you know, he he has a he has a kind heart. He's a simple he's a simple guy. You know, he's simple. But once you get to know him, you'll see how you'll see what a great person he is. He loves people. He's he's such... he's so nice, you know. Just trying to be the best I could possibly be and also be the best man I could be. You know, I grew up with just a sister and she showed me the ways as well, you know, in the house by ourselves and in her taking care of me. I have a million and one stories of Drake. I could sit down and talk about Drake for hours, but I want people to know that he's actually super insightful and really empathetic to other people. Just since we were little things, we would just spend hours, just like quality time together. All of our family vacations it was just us two. So we really became best friends, like over time even though it's my little brother. Whether it was a road trip into Vegas when I was younger or or going somewhere else and just having our own time together, you know, or even if it's just sitting in the living room and just watching TV while my mom cooks, like things like those I'll always cherish. And I think that's what makes us a close family. He gives me goosebumps all the time. He... I opened up about it the other day in the interview. This is a crazy moment. They asked some of us to say a few kind words for you. You know, I was trying to hold it in all day, especially too I had my grannie there with me. She started tearing up and it hurt and I was trying to hold it in, but when they sat me down, they put the headphones on me and they told me, you know, we got a video for you, and my mom and dad popped up... Yeah. It was hard to fight those ones. There was a lot of moments in my journey where maybe I wasn't super sure where I was going, my next step, but I was really concerned about him and his next step and where he was going and making sure that he was doing everything right, putting his head down, making the right decisions, not getting in no trouble, not getting in anything, learn from others mistakes. Like I was just trying my best to provide a good example for him and to see him take that information, take the advice, really soak it in, absorb it, and run with it to this level, it just gives us goosebumps. Long, grueling days, long, grueling nights of just working. I wouldn't be here without them. I would be in the position I am without them. I mean, it just means the world to me. Drake? Yes, sir? How you doing, man? Good. How are you? You wanna be a Falcon? This is a place that I wanted to be, especially after meeting the whole coaching staff from GM down, everybody. Just the people I'm surrounded by here, I feel like we're moving in the right direction, and it's the right fit for me. And when I saw the G-A on there, where the location was, you probably didn't see it on the TV, but inside, I was screaming. I was so happy, and I was just honestly ready to get to work right away. Yeah. So it was a special moment. We just all just started crying. I mean, it was like everything that he had worked for, everything that he had, you know, dreamed of was in that moment. When he was talking on the phone to the Falcons, you know, he, I could see he was like looking up and like trying not to get so emotional because it meant everything to him. I'm so immensely proud of him. It's just crazy to see because when I hug him or I look at him for me, as an older sister, I still see the little boy running around the house, you know what I'm saying? Putting holes in the walls. That's what I see. So it's just so monumental. Honestly, it was a monumental moment in our whole family. We have family all across the country and everybody was watching. We have a huge support network. So it was beautiful to see everyone texting and calling, watching him on TV. It really takes a village. It was just like a dream come true. I mean, to see him accomplish something that he's worked so hard for, you know, he's worked so hard. It was it's been an amazing amazing feeling. And I don't know if I'll ever have the words to explain it because I know the sacrifices that he that he put forth to obtain it. We're... the proudest parents ever, if that's even if that's even a thing, because I know that every parent is proud of their child. It's fine. It's hard to say in words, but like if you had to dream about a son, and I say this about our daughter too, it would be each of them. He's so kind and so humble. So smart. I mean, to see your child fulfill their dream is just I don't know. There's no words. I think he's going to be one of the greatest men that I've ever met. I think he's going to be one of the greatest men that I have ever met. My job and my wife's job is to make our children better than we ever were. And I think we've accomplished that with both of them. He he's a respectful young man. He's honest. He's loyal, he's compassionate. But he's passionate about the things that he's passionate about. Right? So I'm just I'm living the dream. I'm in awe and oh my like you said, I'm in the I'm in Atlanta. I mean, I'm going to come down here. I'm going to eat well, I'm going to watch good games. It's I, I just don't know what to say. For our fans who may not know who you are, what kind of player can they expect on game days? Somebody fearless, somebody who wants to work, somebody who wants to get Ws. Going hard, every single play, catching the ball, whether I'm down, backed up at the 20, I'm going to go score every play, and I'm just going to try to be who I am as a person. And if people follow, then that's that's great. And if I follow them, if they're doing better than me, then by all means, I'm here to learn and I'm here to be the best I possibly could be for this team. | Atlanta Falcons | UCzjCfV3LHyarKbdb-2ScGZg | 2022-08-01 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 2,220 | 11,336 |

IB5cj45Zs8w | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB5cj45Zs8w | OmniFish Helps GlassFish - Improvements in Large Steps | Hello, I am David from OmniFish and i want to tell you quickly before I forget everything what we have done for GlassFish in last two years First - I believe that GlassFish 7 is the best GlassFish which was released in last ten years and it is because we spent pretty much time with that so ... last year I've created company OmniFish together with Ondro and Arjan - you probably know them from conferences and GitHub and all those projects around jakarta ee and I was always somewhere around too Our company provides support and consultancy for GlassFish, Jakarta EE applications and also develops own Piranha Cloud implementation and now quickly because I want to end in fifteen minutes. This is our contribution, you can see that the GlassFish is moving quickly and yeah you can see OmniFish you spent pretty much time with that First what I did, one of first things was that I visited all sources with my bash script and cleaned it up all trailing spaces, tab characters, and so on that was yet for GlassFish 6 then I created this huge issue because I have found that most of tests were disabled, many tests were disabled and GlassFish used mostly TCK tests to check it's quality ... quality? ... reliability at least It used JUnit4 and TestNG - so, in this issue I converted everything to JUnit5 except those really old Ant-based tests which which I at least fixed some of them then I added jacoco and jacoco-merge profiles so I can see test coverage in Eclipse, maybe I will show you later Then - as I said all JUnit1-2-3-4 tests were converted to JUnit 5 and some people hate me because I'm making large pull requests but it's unavoidable you can create small pull requests and yes it's always but it's always better but you can't do that on code with with such huge technical depth where you touch one thing and another hundred things breaks okay that's why I'm doing that - from one stable point to another and there's a path between them At Jersey I've fixed some tests and implemented another so I was able to verify that Jersey passes HTTP/2 tests from another project, I forgot details about it but it will it was quite important thing Then what we did ... Fixed generators on JDK11 and tests yeah there is a tricky thing The security manager which will die soon JDK currently has stronger and stronger rules about visibility and accessibility of classes from other modules and we have to respect that and GlassFish didn't - as usual - because GlassFish generates some classes on the run and they have to respect that Somebody contributed yeah I've fixed starting embedded glassfish and immediately after that somebody else contributed in another PR and fixed some tests and other things in embedded so we are moving forward Here's another thing I always hated you probably too. When you start GlassFish and some of ports are used it just crashes without telling which port is blocked so this is fixed and maybe some hundred or so other similar issues were fixed, especially in starting and stopping GlassFish Zombie tests! I call it my zombie army because you know all these tests are obsoleted, ugly and unmaintainable I can tell maybe hundred to not nice words about them, simply said now they are at least useful because they work they can verify that that something works ah and we plan to transform them to more modern tests Here ... generating ejb, tests this is the ... ClassGenerator is my child the trick here is that you have to respect the JDK rules about module visibility you can't simply access the generated classes from other protection domains, modules... I'm forgetting, currently I don't remember everything but all things related now work on JDK11 and JDK17 and we plan to move forward to JDK19, 20, 21 ... 21 is sure next target. Then .... then we fixed the documentation! you know how looked old documentation... It was this ugly thing with broken links I think I will not find any broken link now but you will, probably Now it looks this way it's less fragmented, but you can still use some searching we fixed also links but I think you can still find some which are broken, this one worked okay Yeah the content still needs to be updated and we welcome contributions from anyone Nucleus tests were disabled and I have transformed them to JUnit5 and I think there's quite nice example how you can use GlassFish in tests these days No Arquillian, no complications just start and ensure that domain stops after tests and you have full control over it in tests maybe I will show you later Then - GlassFish Java Util Logging I think this is the most important thing. Everyone hated GlassFish logging, right? So GlassFish 7 has probably the most powerful logging available now and it is based on Java Util Logging but it has own log manager and it's slowly transforming to System.Logger So, currently i think it's still not possible to replace it with another implementation but after we end with the system logger transformation then you could probably use whatever you want: LogBack, Log4J2, ... whatever Also the new module has nearly ninety percent test coverage and now I know about one bug Then ... then we refactored JNDI names and did some cleanup in sources you can see it's another huge pull request with many changes from one state to another and until now we don't have any issues reported which is kind of weird. It seems it is working. And then ... Omniconcurrent refactoring remove ... yeah ... temporarily ... one of contributors developed own implementation of the new concurrency but ....... for some reason hesitated to make it public and available for GlassFish, so ... after some days and weeks passed, I've decided to implement it on my own, resuscitated the old implementation in GlassFish and passed tests And I think it's much better than any other implementation but maybe I am not right, you have to tell me. Create issues, test and report anything you will find and we will fix that. Another thing: concurrency and DOL deployment I forgot what does it mean Something with deployment. The deployment is still slow because it's based on the DOM model which is quite obsoleted in java, there are other ways to do it, but in this case it is already really awful and complicated to move it forward. So now we released version 7.0.1, it is in Maven Central, it compiles and runs on JDK 11 - 19 - Arjan says - OK, I didn't try I mostly test with JDK 17 and ooh this is probably all I wanted to tell now... There's yet AdminUI, which was contributed by our contributors Andrei Pinchuk and Fujitsu ... and you can see, you can find everything on github. Yet in this version I have revisited the WebappClassLoader, fixed maybe four, bugs inside it and fixed some race conditions, redundancies tried to optimize it a bit ... so we have now the next generation and again: we're moving forward So, we would be happy if if someone could sponsor OmniFish in this quest and also you can buy our services or write us a letter or something. So, see you next time, maybe with more meaningful presentation but this is just the beginning Bye! | OmniFish News | UCCz75T7zyAi_YsbEbFKRu-Q | 2023-02-12 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 1,261 | 7,081 |
