FYmj1XeSq5g | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYmj1XeSq5g | The TOP FOODS You Need To Eat To STAY HEALTHY! | Dr. William Li & Dr. Steven Gundry | if you actually focus on the green part of your plate the colorful part of your plate and make that your mane as opposed to the side um you'll actually be doing your circulation your uh your gut bacteria your gut ecosystem as well as the other health defense systems a big favor dr lee it's great to have you back on the show so good to be back dr gundry it's always a pleasure to speak with a fellow physician and scientist well most as you know most medical students are actually taught very little about nutrition at what point in your career did you actually realize how powerful food is when it comes to health you know there's a back story before i went to medical school i did a gap year and this came out of my my college inspiration where i studied biochemistry like so many other pre-meds but my passion was actually in history specifically the renaissance out of the mediterranean basin so i had learned about the golden age of discovery of arts and sciences and i began to realize that in this crucible of culture came this incredible array of delicious foods that i've always enjoyed throughout my life so before going straight into the treadmill of medical school like we all wind up doing i decided to do a gap year and i embedded myself i traveled to the mediterranean i lived there for a year and my specific project was to actually study how food is integrated into the life of the people in italy and the people of greece and so this was long before you know people started to more broadly recognize the vegetarian diet i was i was literally walking the walk uh long before people were talking the talk so my appreciation of nutrition actually started before i became a doctor and throughout medical school and and you know you and i share this we've we've talked to each other about this before you know where we are indoctrinated in the um in the principles of pharmaceutical prescription writing you know so much memorization so many pathways and things to memorize and you come out at the end of this i could never forget the influences that i absorbed before i went to medical school and i always wondered you know so where does food fit into all of this well actually i came back into nutrition itself more scientifically when i had had a quite a successful career in biotechnology drug development for cancer drugs diabetes drugs drugs to treat vision loss it was a very exciting and very successful area but i i felt very unsatisfied knowing that the treatments i was developing was used to treat the horse out of the barn and so this is when i went back to about my my nutrition and food roots it's not just about nutrition it's really about the life embracing aspects of food delicious food foods that are consistent with cultures and i began realizing you can actually map that back to the science and i think you and i shared the same kind of realization with a light bulb goes in your head that you know food as medicine is not just a slogan but there is an actual discipline to it and that's really how i got into it maybe we can have a gap between pharmaceutical companies teaching us everything in medical school but that's another subject another subject in your book you explain that the body has five natural defense systems one of which is my favorite subject the microbiome let's talk about this some more so as you know uh the father medicine hippocrates said that all disease begins in the gut and how he knew this 2500 years ago still amazes me to this day he didn't have our sophisticated tests to track you know leaky gut to measure leaky gut he didn't know about the microbiome at least i don't think he did how let's just track with one thing how could an unhealthy gut potentially lead to alzheimer's or even cancer what give give us a bit of the mechanism yeah well you know again just contrasting what doctors have learned in medical school which is that bacteria are bad must kill bacteria must write antibiotics kill bacteria in point of fact you know the the fast forward to the present days in fact we know that we now know for sure that most of the bacteria that we all as humans encounter are actually good bacteria and these good bacteria mostly live inside us and so we're not even fully human we're partly bacteria and that's really important i think um glass sealing that has been broken in terms of our understanding of just how important these gut bacteria actually are number one if you take antibiotics this is so commonly done in the community for usually for not a particularly appropriate uh condition you know sore throat mustang bacteria bronchitis you know we we overwrite these prescriptions and and you know whether we kill bad bacteria or not we actually do wind up harming the good bacteria so this then leads to you know the question you asked is what is good bacteria doing well i like to think of it as an ecosystem of partners that work together to create this incredible diversity in our gut kind of like the great barrier reef you know off the coast of australia myriad of these microorganisms that do all kinds of things together and sure there are some sharks and more eels and sort of you know apex predators out there but by and large even they wind up getting along with everyone else as long as there's balance so i think that hippocrates knew somehow that when there's imbalance in the gut your gut just feels bad you feel bloated gassy crampy you have diarrhea you have constipation and you know all of this winds up actually translating back to that our ecosystem the great barrier reef kind of crying out for help and and the reason that we actually feel badly is because the normal gut function this collaboration of this incredible ecosystem they work together to lower inflammation to help us streamline our metabolism to help pump up our and support our immune system to be able to help us heal wounds faster and then as it relates to the mind you were talking about alzheimer's disease something that's quite amazing is this increasing recognition that when we have problems with our ecosystem healthy gut bacteria it's correlated with people that wind up having dementia specifically alzheimer's disease so problems in the gut can lead to problems in the mind now now what do we know about that we know that good healthy gut bacteria in fact text message our brain every single day and prompt our brain to release social hormones and neurotransmitters and so you can imagine although we don't fully understand the exact mechanisms yet if you actually dump the toxin on the great barrier reef and you can destroy part of this ecosystem that that text message to the brain might not be normal anymore and when the brain's not working normally well as we get older i think this is what we're beginning to appreciate things aren't going well by the way one last thing you know we talk about the gut microbiome in the the colon in the lower gut in the helium specifically where a lot of the bacteria are located but for alzheimer's something i'm really struck by is that the dental community has shown that the oral microbiome because our gut begins in our mouth right behind our lips is where our gut begins um that that actually seems to play a big role as well so now we have to watch out for our teeth and our gums yeah and you know as as my friend dale bredesen likes to point out you know our mouth and our nose is is a direct shot to our brain i mean it's it's it's right there and who would have imagined that you know taking care of our mouth and our oral microbiome would have such an effect and as a heart surgeon i've you know i've known that certain oral microflora are really going towards vessels in coronary arteries and belts and valves oh yeah used to see that unfortunately all the time all right so all right so let's get back to food so where does food fit into gut health which is obviously you're in my interest yeah well look i mean uh this is um a passion of mine i think like yours you know this is a new frontier this whole idea of our gut microbiome and unlike you know some of the more intellectual or ethereal kind of concepts like genes and dna and even telomeres our gut is so sensible like anybody can get the fact that what we feed our bodies actually winds up feeding our gut bacteria as well so think about it you know like here we are as humans with healthy bacteria this ecosystem this great barrier reef of great bacteria inside our gut and starting from our mouth and our nose and whatever we're feeding ourselves of course our human cells uh and our organs are absorbing nutrients but everything else gets passed on down down down over to our gut and so we're leaving the left over so to speak for our gut now when our gut is being fed good quality foods and we'll talk about that in a second they're happy they collaborate they're they're getting the food that that barrier reef needs when they're getting harmful foods and we can talk about that as well but you know actually honestly it fits to the paradigm of what we know from other types of food as medicine research as well ultra processed foods added sugars artificial sweeteners all these other kind of things that are just not that good for our overall health they're also not good for our gut bacteria it makes them upset and damages the great barrier reef that ecosystem and causes all kinds of problems so now the challenge is identifying what are the categories of foods that are beneficial for our gut bacteria and what are the ones that are not so helpful so that we can at least begin separating and making good decisions and avoiding the bad ones so uh all right so that's one of our defense systems and what let's go into some of the other of the four defense systems and one of the things i want to bring up which is your world expert on is angiogenesis what the heck is that and why do you why do you and others think that it's really one of the basis of modern diseases well i mean you know when you and i vet the very first time dr gundry we we talked about blood vessels because as a heart surgeon that was your wheelhouse that's what you worked in and the new science of blood vessels teaches us that from the very beginning of life i mean just really within about a week or two after mom's egg met dad sperm in the womb one of the first um systems that formed in the nascent human that we all were our was our circulation we started to form the the channels when that later became larger and more extensive the highways and byways that actually every pump of our heart delivers a jet of blood that brings anything that we breathe or anything that we eat through a 60 000 mile channel that is packed and woven into our body and this what's in our blood vessels feeds every single cell every single organ and without good blood flow ourselves and our organs actually can't survive for any period of time so the science of angiogenesis is really all about well how does our body maintain this defense to make sure that everything is fed and nourished uh adequately and what happens when our body when that defense system actually is compromised when we have too few blood vessels could be in the heart could be in the brain could be in a wound of a diabetic leg uh you know what happens we our tissues die and then we have too many blood vessels so more this is another principle of biology i mean you know uh i think the other thing that i think that you and i clearly like embrace together is like biology teaches us important principles that um really fall through different systems of the body and one of them is that more isn't always more so when it comes to circulation having excessive blood vessels actually is dangerous it can feed cancers the new vessels can be uh ineffective and and leaky they can bleed and cause blindness and so we don't want too many and we don't want too few we want to have just enough and that's the that is in fact the definition of a health defense system how do we raise our shields have just the right amount of defense not too low not too high but just the right amount and circulation is so important as a defense system and the foods that we eat can actually affect that so let's talk about food uh i know you've made a career thinking about foods and angiogenesis are there give us give us a few of your of your top foods for for balancing angiogenesis well you know i'm going to actually try to link two things that we just talked about together angiogenesis and the microbiome because the there are foods that actually are you know most of the foods that are good for us activate multiple have multiple uses and so the foods that are actually beneficial for our gut bacteria that ecosystem many of them are also good and supportive for our circulation to make sure we have enough good blood flow and i'll tell you an interesting one so um green leafy vegetables we call the brassicas you know the cauliflower the bok choy the cabbage the swiss chard um the broccoli the kale they actually contain um sulforaphanes isothiocyanates these are chemical names that you know people that are listening or watching don't need to memorize but just know that mother nature imbued in this incredible set of natural chemicals in these leafy greens and when we eat those those leafy greens actually help to help our angiogenesis system actually stay more balanced um uh not too many blood vessels no so no overage of blood vessels if the blood vessels try to overgrow like they like a cancer might try to do it these leafy greens the sulforaphanes they pretty much mow down those extra blood vessels and prevent them from growing the dietary fiber that you find in a piece of bok in in a serving of bok choy or cabbage wonderfully actually feeds the gut bacteria as well in fact that's the prebiotic aspect of some of these foods but the sulforaphanes also help to spark the function and help the gut some of the gut bacteria also function better and so here's an example of the scientific explanation of why our grandmothers or our mothers always told us to eat our our salads or our leafy greens and which is why you know honestly regardless of what your dietary pattern is or what type of diet you're actually on if you actually focus on the green part of your plate the colorful part of your plate and make that your mane as opposed to the side you'll actually be doing your circulation your your gut bacteria your gut ecosystem as well as the other health defense systems a big favor yeah you're absolutely right one of some of my toughest patients with with diabetes and insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome they go well what you know what am i supposed to eat i said i'm going to make it really easy for you i want you to become a gorilla who lives in italy and they look at me and go what do you mean i said i want you to eat leaves and pour olive oil on it and it's amazing that that single principle they actually get and and when they do that you're right all these amazing transformations happen to them uh because you're you're getting these important chemicals that we're now recognizing and you're feeding the gut bacteria exactly what they want and in which you know in generations past that's what they got right right and yeah i mean and by the way you know it's not that difficult to do because these leafy greens are growing everywhere and you can find them all season round even in a regular grocery store you can find them and something as easy as olive oil you cook them simply you don't you don't need to be a chef a fancy chef to do it easy to cook blanched seared you know put them in a hot pan a little olive oil or dress them up with some olive oil afterwards it just kind of lights up the flavor so what i think is so important as a message is that the foods that are good for us actually taste good yeah i think that's that's really important i try to teach my patients i want them to follow a diet that they can live with literally and figuratively and if if you're eating food that you don't like or you're eating you know twigs and bark you're not going you're not going to do that for very long because it's just no fun that's why you called it a gorilla living in italy as opposed to norway yeah exactly all right uh let me let's talk about we've we've mentioned this before but i think it's well worth mentioning the place of fermented foods and you know you've studied cultures i've studied cultures and i continue to be impressed with the place fermented foods have in a lot of these healthy cultures and i think probably long ago it was a consequence of there was no preservation system and so things naturally rotted and people actually found that they had health benefits maybe they didn't recognize of eating these rotten foods you know it's it's interesting that you say that um if we were to go back into a time machine right now and go back 3 000 years i think that we would find that people had knew that outside of the growing season that it would be important to continue to have food when it was cold and and the soil was was was not growing growable and so between growing seasons the food that had to be maintained were dried or they were pickled and and pickling is sort of in that family of fermentation the idea is pretty simple you take your food that you're not eating right away you put them into you know an urn or something ceramic or you know these days glass or whatever and you just let it sit there and you know you know around the same time in history thousands of years ago they knew groups were the same way you could make wine by just letting grapes sitting out there and if you had your cabbage sitting out there which by the way like sauerkraut which originally came from asia in order to be able to transfer cabbage over time you put some cabbage in a ceramic jar you put a little bit of water in it you know you just kind of let it sit there the thing that a lot of people don't realize is the process of fermentation is so amazing like it i'm always amazed by how natural our planet and this is another reason why you need to protect it what what the natural our natural world does for us you let the bacteria in the air just naturally kind of trickle down onto the plants uh onto the water that your food is sitting in and it will do its job those bacteria will grow some bacteria will grow more than others and if you if you cover it and let it just sit there for time the good bacteria usually will overgrow the bat bad bacteria and this is over thousands of years people discovered this is how you create kimchi this is how you create sauerkraut this is how you create how you pickle things and that to me is one of the most remarkable things is that you know the ingenuity of of humans to try to preserve food for periods that of what we do we couldn't get fresh foods they actually generated something even better which is the fermented foods that contain the healthy bacteria that when we eat it actually contributes to that ecosystem i'm working on my next book and i think one of the things i've learned about these fermented foods is not so much the living bacteria that may still be present in these foods but the postbiotics that are present in these foods like short chain fatty acids like like gasotransmitters but also and you know this but i don't think a lot of people do these dead bacteria cells transmit incredibly important information it's it is i mean it's just fascinating that you know living bacteria in our gut read these messages off of these dead bacteria and i think uh it opens up just i mean it's it's preserved text messages how's that that that's right that haven't been erased but that's you know i mean listen that is that is such an amazing aspect of it for us to respect what the bacteria actually do for us so um i first learned about this dr gundry when i was talking to my colleague dr susan erdman at the massachusetts institute of technology and she was studying a bacteria called lactobacillus rudori which is in the gut sometimes not always and we need to probably have more of it and she was doing animal experiments that found that the lactobacillus rudora would text message the brain and have the brain release oxytocin which is the social hormone it's the hormone you get when you see a family member you like when you have a french kiss or when you have an orgasm a lot more oxytocin comes out and what was amazing to me is that she was just feeding her lab animals through um the the the water you know the the the watering the the water container so that they were just drinking uh the water and had live bacteria but then she took the bacteria and she put an ultrasound onto it to fragment she sonicated the bacteria there was nothing left but fragments i mean it's like an asteroid impact you just blast all these bacteria into little bits and there's nothing live left put them in the water and the exact same thing happened so what is going on is gotta be these text messages being read to me that was a jaw-dropping moment when i realized this was going on it's absolutely amazing years ago i was there's a commercial product called epicore which is which was left over from uh making brewers yeast and they noticed people in the factories that made brewershies really never got sick and they said well what the heck and they found that it was actually that the dead leftover bacteria that was was aerosolized in in the factory that these guys you know were breathing and swallowing and it actually became a product um and i have no relationship but epicore but it's dead bacterial fragments and it's like you're right these who would have guessed that there's this entire um text messaging system and by the way that's that that's actually part of the promise i think of this whole uh enterprise of using science to discover more about our foods and using science to discover more about our bodies as well which is exactly what you you and i both do i'll give you one last fun fact on this subject yeah we'll move on please there's several french studies that show that women who drink two glasses of champagne a day have actually very very good vascular health compared to women who don't and they've traced this to champagne by law in in champaign region has to sit on the leaves for a minimum of three years uh the and the lease of course is the all the dead uh yeast that have sat sunk down to the bottom and you have to rack it every few weeks the longer it sits on the leaves the more expensive the champagne is and what one one study is recently shown in is the exposure to the leaves that actually provides the health benefit in champagne so who knew that there were text messages in champaign that might be good for women's vascular health i thought you need to know that that no i listen uh you're you're making me uh think as a scientist more about um what how you would study that and what more what more could be done sort of using that information but by the way you know this is another aspect of sustainability to help our planet is that a lot of these enterprises i mean maybe the stuff that's on the bottom we should be scraping it up and figuring what to do with it you're absolutely right all right anymore sorry to change the subject but how about other great gut-boosting foods that you and i love or you love yeah well i mean you know i love mushrooms one of my favorite foods are mushrooms uh you know the lowly white button mushroom that everybody has had um i've been doing research on it and it's got beta d glucan which is a soluble fiber the fiber's prebiotic but mushrooms of course grow naturally in the wild and many times they're forested heart they're harvested from the wild but even when they're grown they're grown kind of in a dark place that has lots of bacteria you know and so very likely eating mushrooms not only gives you good dietary fiber for your gut microbiome but also has some of these other probiotic benefits as well what's interesting is that most people who buy a mushroom and i'm just talking about the lowly white button mushroom right now what do you do you bring it home you might rinse it off you put it on the cutting board you cut off the cap which is what we eat and you a lot i used to do this myself throw away the stems you know but it turns out when you look at the amount of the soluble fiber beta d glucan which is good for your gut and by the way good for your vascular system as well and good for immune system another health defense system it turns out that the that the stem it's called the stipe actually has twice as much of the beta glucan as the cap and so i always tell people when i do this myself now i i always find something to do with the stem go back to many cultures latin american cultures mediterranean cultures asian cultures they're always using the stem uh for uh for their food you slice it up you can put it into a blenders all kinds of things you can actually do with it and then what's interesting is if you take a look at the fact that the lowly white button mushroom has a lot of good stuff to it let's step it up and see what these other other mushrooms that are eaten can do golden chanterelle mushrooms packed loaded with beta glucan porcini mushrooms another kind of culinary mushroom really delicious also loaded with maitake mushroom from asia tons of beta d glucan and so you know one of the things that i think that um that you know we've been alluding to is that you know when you talk about a healthy food like mushrooms what we're really talking about is a group of plants that when you analyze them some have even better properties than others and that's another future frontier that i think is super exciting that i'm starting to do is to say which one of the edibles edible mushrooms that we actually have is most potent and we can we can do that with the same thing with with nuts we can do the same thing with brassica and leafy greens in the future you know we you talked about champagne and you know how you rate the champagne or wine how they rate the wine i think there needs to be kind of a rating system of potency acro in the produce section so in addition to the cost per pound and whether it was organic or locally grown we have another number that gives us a solar color that tells us that tells us how much potency is in uh the product that we're going to select i think it's a great idea uh we're gonna we're gonna put you in charge of that labeling system i i'm gonna make you the fda commissioner and you're gonna come out with the new food label probably be far more useful than the one we currently have yeah exactly uh all right so foods that boost the immune system mushrooms get you know a high mark for their ability to boost the immune system uh and certainly a lot of it is the soluble fiber that's available in other words they feed good gut bacteria which in turn influence t rags and we could go on and on uh is are there are these foods they're miraculous to improve your immune system i i we shouldn't be using those terms should we then the terms like miraculous yeah no i you know honestly like i think that it is stunning to realize that the foods that we grew up with can do much more than we thought and but i don't think it's a miracle i think that you know like foods aren't there's no there's no such thing as a true superfood what i think is really super is the body is super the body is actually super and you know to the extent the human body is kind of a miracle of creation you know if you think that way the reality is is that what's amazing is that ordinary foods that we can put into our breakfast table or have for a snack or whatever they what what we're beginning to discover is they do a lot more than we thought they did and they do it a lot better so something like a like a blueberry for example is really great for the immune system those anthocyanins that actually make the blueberry blue actually has something beneficial to it um tree nuts like walnuts it's got dietary fibers and healthy fats though after they also play a role in actually helping our gut microbiome as well so i think that you know the things that you know people have enjoyed eating we're now beginning to nail down what they might be doing to specific aspects of our health and as we discover the mechanisms the the manner by which they improve our health i think it helps us just um and i think it takes it down to earth in fact it's not it's the opposite of a miracle it's sort of like oh i get it you know eating these foods is actually good for my immune system well actually that is not what your grandmother told you to you know and so i think that it actually helps us make more sense of the world around us uh while we talk about foods that are good for our immune system it probably goes without saying uh there are foods that we should avoid uh you want to rattle off a few well you know i mean this is what i tell patients you know that there's a there's a whole category of foods that actually kind of damage devastate and even can destroy your your health defenses lower your shields against all kinds of diseases not just one of them and you know they're they're the ones that you've been hearing about all over the place and uh you know ultra processed foods added sugars uh alcohol uh artificial sweeteners artificial preservatives artificial colorants you know the things that actually came out of the 1950s to make foods more colorful and more cheaper and more tantalizing to look at you know things that were you know sort of uh i would say sort of a cheap trick to actually uh make us attracted to certain foods like you know bait um not the real deal uh they're distracting those are the kinds of things i think um an overage of red meats and processed meats especially also have been found to be harmful to not only the gut but other health defenses as well and so you know if you sort of and you know i here's the thing a lot of these things are found in a typical american diet but i don't like to use that term either i don't like to use the term western diet although it is an accepted kind of bucket to use i think that you know the west depends on where you start from what a lot of people would call something west i think that you know what in general manufactured foods that transform the whole basic plant food or animal food into a form or a substance and mixes it with other additives into a form that doesn't appear in nature and usually can be stored for an unusually long period of time in a box or it can that's kind of the definition of something that's not so good for us i you look and to be realistic we live in a society where that kind of stuff is all over the place so and we a lot of us have habits and some of us even like that stuff so you know you're gonna eat it every now and then i think the message that we're sending is just realize that that stuff actually forces you to take a step back in your health not a step forward so what you want to do is just take focus more time more emphasis on on eating foods and take a step forward because you know every now and then you take a step back that's okay as long as you keep on marching forward in terms of your health that's what we're all looking for and that's really based on the the beneficial foods that we've been talking about yeah uh three years ago we um we lost our our home in the mudslide in in montecito california and we had to buy a new house and the house we bought actually came furnished thankfully and in the kitchen was this humongous jar glass jar filled with layers of oreo cookies and it was almost kind of a decoration right next to it was a big jar of taco bell seasoning but anyhow so we decided to leave it there and so we've we've owned the house for three years now that jar of oreo cookies is as pristine as when we moved in there has been no fermentation there has been no degradation and i tell you i tell myself every time i look at it if if a bacteria or a fungus won't come near this why in the world would i want to eat it it's yeah three years now and counting it you know that's quite amazing and i think that if we thought a little bit more about all these synthetic chemicals that are preserving embalming our foods uh mummifying our foods effectively it makes it a little bit less appealing uh to actually eat it and it's actually the complete opposite of the fermentation aspect of the food where you get something by preserving it for a longer period of time you can actually get something benefit here is actually something just quite the opposite by the way i also want to kind of you know just bring this up as a point when you talk about oreos you know oreos are technically a plant-based food so you got to be careful when you hear about you know plant-based plant-based bet just because the word plant is in it doesn't mean it's good for you no i think that's so important because we are now seeing more and more ultra-processed plant-based foods and plant-based meats that are still ultra-processed they are not anything of the original ingredients and we have to be very careful uh you and i both like plants we but this a plant is not a plant if you chop it up and change its character and do a protein isolate of a plant and you know like i would argue that if you were eating a really great quality sirloin burger every once in a while compared to eating a plant-based ultra-processed genetically modified plant-based meat burger every night okay that distracts you from eating other whole plant-based foods because you think you're getting the plants you know you're probably better off just enjoying a treat every now and then with the real with the real deal yeah i i agree with you completely uh we hopefully this trend will die a natural death but i don't think so i i think uh it's going to contribute to our death in a way you know in a way that people don't realize well you know it's that it's that kind of desire to innovate and think uh you know sort of not how to take the long view what i think is you know maybe a helpful message for people to think about is the go we're also at a time in the history of human society where we're beginning to look back at some of the old traditions that have been preserved and valued for hundreds of years generations and i think that you know there's something wonderful to recognize that what your grandma and my grandma and their grandmothers actually passed down you know it's not lost it's still around and actually it tastes just as good to actually make those recipes today as it did back then with the added knowledge of the health that they can actually bring our grandmothers didn't have that knowledge before now we do yeah you know a lot of them didn't know why they these wives tales existed but now we're realizing holy cow there was there's a scientific basis for what they were doing um that's right so yeah that's a very important thing uh lastly before we let you go uh where does sleep fall in all of this uh you could have the healthiest diet in the world you could take care of your gut health but um where's sleep fit in all of this you're bringing up such an important aspect of of health you know there's a reason that those of us who actually are trying to care for patients usually say diet and lifestyle and not just diet alone and you know just like as a medical doctor a physician we are looking at aspects of the entire body everything is interconnected so too is an aspect of our lifestyle called sleep that actually really is important for running that engine um of health for the rest of our body including our health defenses properly and so one of the things that i think is that is quite important and amazing is that while most of us believe that when we're sleeping we're off the grid we're relaxed we're not doing anything well at least our bosses don't think we're doing anything when we're sleeping the reality is that you know from a from a medical and a scientific perspective our bodies are working really hard they just shifted gears their night shift when we are actually sleeping and in that sleep state our body is cranking up stem cells it's renewing our stem cell population rebuilding our immune system it's right sizing and cleaning up and doing the landscaping of our microbiome ecosystem is helping get rid of and pruning away some of the old bacteria it has a process called a autophagy which actually is cleaning out all the dead cells and dying cells that have been you know got toxins on them getting rid of those one of the things that's really amazing that you know people think that they're just asleep and unconscious more or less maybe unless they are dreaming is that when you're in deep rem sleep there is a whole new sewer system that opens up in our brains called the glymphatic system these lymphatics are like the sewers of paris they're incredibly in here they open up only when you have good quality sleep and they drain out all the toxins and garbage and oxidative stress you know factors that have accumulated during the day so and if you're not sleeping well you're not you don't feel so great the next day you might be foggy you might be grumpy there's a reason for it our system hasn't been reset we haven't built the engine was stressed out it's kind of like running your car driving your car car all night long that engine is really hot under the hood you need to rest that car and that's you know and by the way like all those other good things that we do with our food doesn't get processed we're not getting the most of our food if we're not getting good sleep as well yeah exactly well-made point we this is you know this is when the maintenance of the body is being done and it's if we don't have routine maintenance on on this engine uh it's it's not gonna work it's not gonna work and that's our that's our maintenance period you're right all right uh what other fun stuff are you doing any exciting research that you've done or just kind of run into that uh you can share with us today well i do a recent research finding that i found absolutely jaw-dropping that actually relates to the microbiome and other topics that i know that you're interested in which is resistant starches so there was a recent study that came out looking at a population almost a thousand people that actually have a genetic mutation that they inherit from so it's really kind of a time bomb a ticking time bomb genetically that makes you more likely that you might develop cancer and these are the people that have inheritable colorectal cancers they can develop ovarian cancers and uh lynch syndrome is uh what it's actually known as uh and if you have that and it can be detected by genetic screening then your doctor is gonna say you really need to actually [Music] remember earlier you need to have your regular um overall health checks and uh as i said it's kind of a time bomb like where the shoes get slit on the day you're born well they actually started to study the impact on diet and impact on dietary factors and what they found is that resistance arches can lower the risk of all the cancers in this thousand patients study that would that come from lynch syndrome by 60 percent if they add resistant starches to the diet now how much do they need to add i'm always into food doses so what's the dose that you would need and you can calculate this from the clinical trials um it's just a way to actually start doing a little bit of math to figure out like well what did they how much did they use and what is it related to the amount of resistance starts that they gave to each of these patients in the clinical study was the equivalent uh that you would find in one green banana that's it wow that's to really be able to have that have that impact what's explanation not fully known there's a microbiome involved yes because they actually look at the microbiome and they actually were starting to study like that's really going to be the starting point to understand this phenomenon but here's an example where you know new research is just like a week old actually is teaching those of us in the medical science community there is something again we need to pay attention to that could be beneficial for our patients and because you know these heritable cancers genetically driven cancers are such a tough nut to crack right and there's so many of these that you know we worry about i think that it just shows to us just how powerful our food is it's another underlining of how important our gut microbiome is and i think it's exciting you know that patients with those kinds of syndromes now have another avenue that they can look to that is in their hands in their not in the healthcare system's hands but that they can actually start to think about well how do i incorporate this research finding into my own life yeah i think as a corollary to that i think you and i are both aware that many of these cancers have their own distinct microbiome and we now know there's a microbiome of pancreatic cancer there's a microbiome of breast cancer and i think any glandular structure has a has a connection to the outside world in one way or another whether it's breast tissue the pancreas connects to our gi tract which is technically the outside world and i think the whole idea that maybe we should be paying attention to these bacterial species and what they want how to stop an overgrowth of one that is you know oncogenic i think it just opens up this whole crazy field of wow food is medicine and down to the down to the oncogene yeah exactly i mean two things one um another great idea that you know somebody could work on one day is that we could you know we began to appreciate the splendor of the natural world um uh you know back i think two two or three hundred years ago when they started to create zoos to just show us what an elephant looked like and what a tiger looked like i think it'd be really awesome to create kind of like an exhibition of the microbiome to show us what's in the pancreas and and what's in the normal pancreas versus a cancer and we can begin to learn that and and you know like children can begin to use that as part of their basic education at the same time they're learning about lions and tigers and bears they can start learning about the the the incredible organisms in our bacteria that are are good for us and then to use that to connect for food look mommy i want some more acrimoncia mucinophila exactly all right well this has been fun uh with what's next for you i know you've got a new youtube series tell me about that yeah well you know i have a series called dr lean friends and you know you were kind enough to come on to it and it was a lot of fun it says it's a basic uh opportunity to uh uh fly on the wall and uh for viewers and to watch me have a conversation with my friends and colleagues like dr steven gundry um about things that we care about things that we're interested in things that we've seen or experienced recently it's a little bit of an unplugged kind of conversation that you know um you know if you're if you if you've ever been to a dinner table where you watched two people having a conversation like oh man they're talking about some interesting stuff that's what i'm doing so i i'm having conversation with different people that i know uh and and uh inviting people in to my world into sort of the things that i'm thinking about and i think the last time we when we were doing we were talking about our travels and what we discovered in terms of food and how do we connect our day jobs of thinking about food and health into the things we see in real life when we're when our when we're on our holidays a lot of people just think that you know like i mean like we're real people that do real things just like everyone else and so this is a just a little little opening the curtains uh and letting people peek in to see who we are what we're really like in real life you can find this on youtube and where do they learn about you and eat to beat disease yeah so um you know i'm easy to find it's dr dr william lee l i dot com on on the web uh if you want to look for my handles at dr william lee dr william lee li i've got tick tock i did a i did a little piece uh last week that's got 1.6 million views um uh i'm on instagram i'm on facebook and you know i think that the fact is that there's um a lot of cool things to talk about including the stuff that we talked about today that um people just love to hear about and i love to talk about it so please come to dr william lee sign up for my free newsletter i do a master class i've got all kinds of different projects i'm working on and one of my favorite things is to talk to folks like you my friends and colleagues about the things that we care about which is food is medicine perfect all right before i let you go uh i told you that we have an audience question and sometimes i ask my guests to hop in on this so without a do the audience question comes from singaductus on youtube he says is exercise imperative for reducing all-cause mortality or is it overrated you're first is exercise overrated no exercise actually let's i like to be very precise with my words because exercise means a lot of different things i think of exercise as a range of physical activity that starts from just moving regularly like even going for a walk after dinner for 20 minutes 20 or 30 minutes to really going to the gym and working out actually competing uh in in something athletic like cycling or jogging or going on a marathon that's all exercise and i i i cannot understand how important that is for us as humans not only from the time we're little kids but also as we get older to remain limber to agile flexible uh movement exercise actually helps our circulation that circulation stimulates our stem cells when you're exercising um physically active our breathing is better you know a lot of us just when you're sitting on the couch you're not only your lungs scrunched up you know you're not taking full breaths when you're walking and swinging your arms or you're jogging you're biking or swimming you're taking big physiological breaths that are good for us so what i would say is that exercise as a range of activities is vital in order to be to remain vital and is it overrated i suppose that's you know depending on what type of advertising you're looking at but i certainly don't overrate it i think there's a range of activity that's appropriate for each individual and just like diet and just like food and just just like everything else yeah for health find out what works for you tailor it to yourself this is a kind of d exercise is kind of a physical activity diy type of activity you don't need a doctor to tell you exactly what to do or to monitor it this is something you can do just at home yourself yeah speaking of you know you and me learning from travel experiences one of the things i've noticed looking at long-lived people or healthy people is a great number of them walk after dinner and they they stroll and there's a new meta-analysis that just came out i think yesterday looking at the benefit of walking after dinner even for three to ten minutes changing the rise in glucose changing insulin release and you know come on just three to five minutes after you eat let's and you look at these healthy people and you know that they stroll after dinner and that's an easy thing to do that's a that's low-hanging fruit as they say you're definitely going to want to see this one unfortunately a lot of misconception that the only way to measure whether you're sensitive to gluten is to look for celiac disease markers and that's absolutely not true | The Dr. Gundry Podcast |

V4i0lA7i4-0 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4i0lA7i4-0 | 5 Most Unlikely Green Lanterns To Ever Wield The Ring | Green Lanterns are basically space cops who wear the most powerful weapon in the universe a Green Lantern ring now these lanterns are chosen to wield the ring based on two things the first is whether they have the will power to overcome great fear and the second is how close they are to a Green Lantern when they die because when that Green Lantern dies the ring flies off their finger to find a new Green Lantern and this is exactly what happened with Hal Jordan when Abin Sur crash-landed on earth how Jordan was the closest person to him who also could overcome great fear and thus he got the ring and for the most part all the lanterns are noble warriors who defend others however it hasn't always worked out that way on more than a few occasions some very unlikely lanterns have emerged people who should never have been allowed to wield a Green Lantern ring and in truth they only ever wield them for a short time before they're taken away but still the fact they get them in the first place is rather amazing and this video is going to go over the five most unlikely Green Lantern's who have ever existed number five Lobo in the injustice universe the deadly fret of Starro is frightening the plight of OA and taking over at the Green Lantern Corps with the Storrow mind-control spores taking over some of the Guardians and quite a lot of the Green Lantern's which from a strategic point of view is actually quite clever Starro would then have an army of creatures who all have the most powerful weapon in the universe on their hands which were definitely help with conquering the galaxy and if you throw in the fact that the star of himself has become a Red Lantern well then you've got a truly unstoppable enemy on your hands and so desperate times call for desperate measures and since the Green Lantern's are falling one by one to star oh and they're running out of soldiers they have no choice but to recruit Lobo he's only in the fight for money of course though when Atrocitus cuts him in half it does kind of become personal and it also shows that he needs more power in order to fight star oh and the red lanterns and so the Green Lantern's make Lobo a deputy and give him a Green Lantern ring and Lobo spends most of his time making deadly constructs in the shape of one very distinct part of the male Mattamy although we don't see it too clearly on panel for obvious reasons it still made very clear what phallic object Lobo is making much to the dismay and amusement of the other lanterns around him his use of the ring was short-lived of course as he was only deputized until star it was stopped and so once the danger has passed he has to return the ring which is actually a shame because he was one of the more entertaining Green Lantern's number four Lex Luthor now Luthor famously wielded the orange ring of avarice during the blackest night comic event where he finally admitted that all he really wants is to just be Superman but he has also wielded a Green Lantern ring in the much made fun of TV show Superfriends although this series was actually called challenge of the Superfriends and in this episode the Legion of Doom is getting rid of Superman Wonder Woman and Green Lantern as they fill the league will be significantly weaker without them why they're only getting with free members and not all of them I don't know but anyway they time travel back in time and disrupt their origin stories obliterating them from the timeline and when Hal Jordan is about to get pulled away by the green lands and energy to go to a band serve and get his ring Lex Luthor switches places with him so he is cooled away instead and he tricks Abin Sur into thinking that he is the one the Green Lantern ring is summoned and so Abin Sur gives him the ring and Lex Luthor becomes Earth's queen Anton now it does seem a bit odd that Abin Sur could be tricked like this and would just give away the most powerful weapon in the universe who ever turns up but we have to take into account the fact that he does respect the Rings ability to get a new champion and more importantly he was bleeding to death at the time so he probably didn't have his mind on the issue at hand that much of course the rest of the league figures out what's happened and they travel back in time and stop all of the do members from doing this and though that looks like black lightning stopping Lex Luthor there he is in fact black Falcon and once of course he stops Luthor from getting the ring in the first place he obviously no longer has the ring it's a little confusing since it's time travel but this was a short-lived event number three the penguin now while Lex Luthor and Lobo may be more evil they're also more popular characters in the penguin and so then wielding these rings makes a bit more than Cobblepot having one especially since those two are more likely to be out in the universe than the penguin is after all he's just a small greedy fat human and in the grand scheme of the DC universe a very minor villain which probably explains why he barely even taps into the power of the Green Lantern ring instead he just uses it to rob a party and several ATMs by creating a giant Hoover this is a weapon that can destroy a planet and could easily have been used to rob Fort Knox but instead penguin just steals some cash with it from the local Gotham City it doesn't really go to a bank or to he actually just goes to a party and some small thefts I mean the man really does lack imagination now he gets the ring when Green Lantern sends it to Batman for safekeeping find Batman safe with him so the Sinestro doesn't get ahold of it and basically the ring passes by the penguin and he just grabs it and puts it on it's a bit of a simple plot to be honest and of course penguins crime spree with it is rather short-lived as eventually Sinestro turns up looking for it and he decides to give it to Batman rather than fight Sinestro himself and so we get a very short fight but it's a very cool image of Batman as Green Lantern as he fights in estro and penguin of course never gets a ring again weird considering how limited his imagination with it was is probably for the best number two doomsday in the comic doomsday year one doomsday goes up against a host of characters from the DC comics including Darkseid and he eventually ends up fighting the Green Lantern Corps and after killing one member he just picks up a Green Lantern ring and is able to use it to fly though sadly he doesn't actually get a Green Lantern uniform which I personally found very disappointing because I would have quite liked to have seen him in this uniform he eventually loses the ring when a guardian of the universe self destructs and releases all of the energy built up in his body and the resulting blast from this destroys the ring and blasts doomsday off the planets and hurtling through space of course it doesn't kill him as doomsday is essentially immortal but he does get rid of the ring it's quite a short fight as doomsday has to fight a lot of others in this annual so all of the fights only take place over a few panels and to me the most amazing part of all this is the fact that yet she has the willpower and intelligence to wield the ring as doomsday is usually disturbed mindless brute in almost all of his stories number one duck Dodgers without question the most unlikely and the silliest of all Green Lanterns although in truth the episode is actually quite entertaining in the show Daffy Duck stars has duck Dodgers and when duck Dodgers goes to get his dry cleaning he gets Hal Jordans dry cleaning by mistake and when he puts on the Green Lantern ring he is transformed into a Green Lantern and gains all of their amazing powers including the ability to fly it's a particular and rare honor to be the first of my species to receive the gift of flight I shall not abuse the prayer privilege - he is then cooled away to the planet OA which is under siege by sinestro's horde of killer robots who are kidnapping Green Lantern's once the attack is over and the robots leave with their prizes duck Dodgers joins up with the remaining lanterns and they are able to rescue the abductee Green Lantern's and Daffy Sinestro of course the real ring owner Hal Jordan eventually shows up and says that the two of them must have got their dry-cleaning mixed up and so Dodgers returns his ring to him it was a short-lived but rather memorable story much like the one where Bugs Bunny becomes Superman and then is later revealed to actually be Batman and one thing I do want to say is that in the Lego Batman free game duck Dodgers actually features as a Green Lantern and a lot of people may have been wondering why exactly is Daffy Duck pretending to be a Green Lantern in this game and this episode of duck Dodgers is of course the reason so it's actually quite a nice thought Easter Egg for the fans who are aware of this and that is the five most unlikely Green Lantern's that have ever existed do you agree with my list or do you think that there are even more unlikely lanterns that existed in the DC Universe that should have been mentioned instead be sure to let us know in the comments along with the most unlikely character and media that you would like to see become a Green Lantern first thing I quite like the idea of Jon Snow wheeled in the ring although I must admit seeing Deadpool in the green suit would be quite entertaining as well for several obvious reasons as let's say a quick thank you to those who made this video possible by donating to the needle mass productions page on and

0NkSFxwjzrw | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NkSFxwjzrw | PhreakNIC 17 - Jeff Nichols - So... You Want To Build A Cray | so you want to build a crack all right let's see what's going on so uh what i'm going to uh i'm going to kind of start with the end and i'm a member of the knotsmakers.org or knots makers group in knoxville tennessee and uh we have a gray it's t3 cabinet and uh we've got xp4 blades inside at our makerspace and so the last uh portion of this talk is going you know how did we take this thing that had been surplus and bring it back to life and so there is going to be some how did we put linux on that all right but i also work at oak ridge national lab which most of you probably know is the home of i'll still call it the fastest computer in the world it's number two right now uh the name of the computer is titan and uh it's a cray xt7 um it's the successor to a machine called jaguar i worked on jaguars i'll often uh flip back and forth okay sorry going the wrong way so uh all right okay okay we'll learn this one so let me give you some of the numbers to impress you so in titan there are 18 608 16 core amd opteron processors for a total of almost 300 000 cores okay bear for each cpu or processor there's a matching k20x gtu that's a computational gpu from nvidia and each of those gpus has a little over 2500 cores by themselves if you multiply that out it's actually a little over 50 million that's a big number it's a big number um there are 200 cabinets that compose this machine and it has a theoretical max if you if you could get all that going in the same direction of 27 quadrillion floating point operations for a second uh floating point operation per second it's a flop that's a two and a half plus a two and a half equals 5.0 that plus is a floating point operation so writing it out a petaflop is what we call a quadrillion flops and so this is a quadrillion i had to uh so thousands millions billions trillions quadrillion okay so it can do you know in we've demonstrated on a real problem 17 and change petaflops but who's counting a trillion okay there's more at oak graves oh arnell is also host to two other machines um kraken is owned by the university of tennessee well there we go uh gaia is owned by noaa both of these are in the top 50 machines in the world craig and topped out at number three but it was a few years ago and we'll go into what's number one number two number three what's that mean but uh let me give you a little server room tour here so this is walking through the uh the server room where all these are i don't know if any of you know scott milliken scott milliken had invited me here to speak he's the lab manager for all this room and so he this is what he does every day is uh watches these rooms and so he had led us in and little did he know what he was getting himself into but uh yeah this is gaia from the side and let me um each of the machines you'll see this machinery this stuff here on the uh left we'll talk about that in a little bit but that's really the refrigeration units for these things um and uh that's looking down that they have corridors of these racks and so actually yeah so you're seeing the you're seeing the back side of one rack and then the front side of the next rack going through so it's not backrack and backrest i don't think so they don't have cool and hot aisles that's weird that they wouldn't have that we do not and um there's some interesting things they have refrigeration built into the racks they have refrigeration built in and uh the refrigeration they're actually room neutral and actually they were room positive in terms of uh or room negative anyway when they replaced that first bracket or the first machine the xt3 and the xt4 were air cooling yeah and uh we'll get to what that meant to our makerspace but these machines are water cooled and they have refrigeration units at the end that chill the air but the air coming out of the top is actually neutral or actually cooler than the incoming air so they i heard yesterday that they actually cooled the room for a long time using their new cray whenever they got it it's quite an air conditioner um so here's kraken looking at it these are the uh those are heat units going over the are cooling units sitting up here and so uh and uh now we is that all of it is there more roads uh that's just the front row that i'm showing you um uh gaia just has one uh kraken's about four rows um it's roughly half of the uh of titan um or it was roughly half of jaguar um let's see that's the front of titan um these are this is looking from that road to the back of the room and i'm it's hard to get perspective in here um but you'll see those are seven more rows of identical set setups there and so a total of 200 racks we said and then we're this is the very back of the room you can see the refrigeration lines a lot better going over the top cooling racks and uh uh scott was with me this isn't scott there this is another couple friends of mine yeah but we were like you guys don't know that's dolomite they might know him better by his hacker name oh oh okay i'm sorry and um but yeah i took uh the guy in the lighter colors is a pellissippi state local community college student that's been helping me out and uh he was just it was all his geek dreams came through yesterday he was just uh he got to go into see titan and then um later we went to buda cray so uh it's very loud in this room hearing protection is required this next um one is a movie walking down the front of titan so i don't know anyway it's very just really loud it's fine i have a couple more yeah oh handy-dandy okay press the button yeah i was going to say just the audio before you plugged it in okay so uh so we'd say it's the fastest in the world but it says soon and so there's a top500.org it's the group um they list they've been listing the top supercomputers in the world for i don't know how long it's a list that's published twice a year and the rankings are by flops achieved on a matrix calculation linear algebra and a little hard to read but jack don guerra was the author of linpack which is the the benchmark used he's a distinguished scientist at ornell and a distinguished professor at ut and his signature is here and he's one of the founding fathers of uh scientific computation uh currently the chinese military is ranked number one that was a list that just came out like a month ago it's issued twice a year um this is the certificate for titan that hangs on the wall at ornl and so it's saying is ranked number one among the world's top 500 super computers with the 17.5 petaflop lim pack performance okay and uh so that's who says who um gonna live so this is my credibility is the this is what i worked on on um jaguar and now titan it's a model called glimmer cism and i did the parallelization for this so it was a effectively a serial or a scalar model that then we parallelized so it can run on any of the parallel architectures it was parallelized using mpi we'll come to you and so um the ice sheet model and so this is for land ice sheets so think greenland antarctica big land ice not sea ice it calculates a set of pdes or partial differential equations for eyes thickness movement mass balance all these different things that's the mathematical expressions of the pdes for some of them it's really navier stokes and then this is uh an example of some of the outputs so that's all of greenland showing um velocities of different um portions of the ice sheet wrong bleeder it's much bigger than that okay so so for solving pdes i'm not going to try to stretch your uh thank you mathematical um remembrances very much but the overall idea is that you do have this volume of something and so you're trying to calculate the volume of or not the volume but a temperature field let's say over space so three space sure um x y and z and what you're doing is converting that through a stencil to calculating your derivatives and the xyz directions you calculate all these or you write down all of these um relationships between all the different nodes and you'll end up with a set of indexed equations like that that are you have to solve simultaneously across all those rewriting as a matrix it simplifies the look um with pdes you often get this diagonal everything else off of here is uh zeros so when you were taking this to a parallel model were you doing was it the matrix algebra that was being parallelized what step of this was being parallelized sure um it was all the math all the the model had been done and proven for yeah small size sure um what it was really doing was splitting it up and um so that as far as each and so what i was doing was taking that small model and replicating it thousands of times and then handing each of those small models a portion of whatever ice is the code open source orally source visible it is part of the what's called the cesm okay from incar and that is right publicly available but you have to sign up yeah license type of thing okay okay that was part of that repo okay so uh anyway that's my credibility so let's go into the components of a cray and uh so i heard some of you already say i ain't gonna speed up my gaming system and get me a cray processor and man you know that and uh seymour cray was the designer that's where the name came from um and uh the founders of the founder of the company and he a quote from him anyone can build a fast cpu and uh but the trick is to build a fast system and i've heard you mention the cdc 6400 6500 6500 thanks um so he before um starting his own starting craig he uh worked with uh cdc computer conditional data control data thank you control data corporation and there he was designing the fastest systems in the world and he was meticulous about all the other pieces that go into making a system fast you can make a really fast processor but you can starve it in so many ways that your your throughput is nothing and so that was his his thing um 197654 somewhere in there uh early 70s he was at cdc um let's see and uh you guys look like an audience that can appreciate some vacation pictures so uh this is the cray one uh serial number three it is at um national center for atmospheric research in boulder colorado and last summer we were visiting we were in colorado we stopped and saw the craze that's my family standing in front of that cray it's still on display uh it was bought in it was delivered in 1977. it was almost nine million dollars i like this seven million dollars for the machine plus a million dollars for the disk that just cracks me up for some reason like oh you want to disc with that you know i don't i don't know i this picture of the dos this coming with it anyway they priced it like maybe we'll sell 10 you know so that's why they were price crazy and they ended up selling over 80 and it was at least twice as fast and maybe four i think it's like about four and a half times as fast as the cdc oh yeah so some of the other things that you can see in this picture are this is the cooling built around the bottom in this bench down here and so cray integrated cooling as part of his designs and then this is basically memory it's it's what it's just sticks of memory and it's patched really really tight and they're just stacked up inside of there and it was one processor but it was uh yeah we'll uh see the specs here on the net slide um i don't know if you guys can see this all right um and so what i'm replicating here this is another poster at uh in car and so this is tets down here is comparing the cray to uh iphone 3g at the time um but i also wanted to point out this picture here it'll come back up in a little while there's about five or six guys pushing this machine around so you can maybe imagine where this is going to come up later seymour craig is pictured in here he's that dot right here okay so 80 megahertz clock speed there's there it was a balanced vector processor and scalar and so a lot of the machines could do one or the other at the time but not both very well if they had really deep pipelines or whatever couldn't switch so it was 1 million 64-bit words of memory so it was 64-bit whoever you're saying yeah yeah you weren't ready okay the 65 the 6500 was a 60-bit word okay um so it could achieve 80 megaflops it could do that and then peak it it could go up to 160 megaflops um so that's a million 160 million floating point operations per second it weighed five and a half tons that's kind of why i like this picture up here these guys pushing it around and uh yeah so and iphones 1.46 times 10 to the negative fourth time in case you were wondering that was kind of fun to work out this morning okay so on processors seymour cray held that computer should obey a square law when the price doubles you should get at least four times as much speed he really had this bias he wasn't done until he could deliver with each generation ten times more processor performance and that actually drove a lot of his companies and corporations to into the ground okay he went broke at least three times he and it's a really it's a really interesting history he was he's a he's a neat guy go look up the article on wikipedia and his drive to deliver that performance forced the company into really exotic research and so they were the first looking gallium arsenide now the processors are amd opted on 16 core they're big we not a lot of us probably have them but we could go get them if we wanted to so they are a commodity um let's see so another thing about cray was that he resisted the massively parallel and so there's another quote from him if you're applying a field which would you rather use two strong oxen or a 1024 chicken and i think i've seen that recently i'm like google plus is like a question or something but was it due to complexity that he didn't like massively parallel or why did he hate the future he um he was very you know so he was a designer he was the architect um and yeah this kind of thousand 24 chickens is kind of he didn't like he wanted he wanted those horses okay we'll try this one um so it was his personal bias and it was just something that he could not yeah could not get around and it took a long time for him um he uh he's been dead 15 years yeah it was mid 90s 96 is when he was killed in a car accident um by the mid 90s what had been catching up was compiler technology because it was phenomenally difficult to program sure anything you know and then trying to program 1024 chickens would be a lot harder um but by the mid 90s compiler support was catching up yeah getting better okay and so in um the mid 90s he started a new company to design his his first massively parallel machine and they're again true to his his design his architecting he wasn't focused on the processors but he was focused on all the bottlenecks around it the communications the memory finch our performance and that was no small part of it it was not still is not and that still remains the focus of craig um so uh getting to massively parallel um mainly well this is diving down through history and really going through uh processors so we all know we've got a processor we've got a computer we can make it do something and then a lot of us had dual processors so it's like but you really kind of could treat it like two computers and it was just in the same box and so computer to computer you're i need to tell you something you need to tell me something then that's handled through something called api or message passing interface and it's libraries it's function calls you can go download it you can read the book and uh jack don guerra yeah that's not too bad i've i've read them uh jack don guerra is this was a big project is awesome and uh but then something happened we did make or the gigahertz wall whatever you want to call it and we just yeah you're hitting a thermal barrier you're hitting a lot of things and so the our cpu manufacturers started multiplying cores and uh but cores aren't computers and so what you're speeding up with core or what you want to do with core is threads and so you're doing threads you're doing you want to split up and so then all 16 of your cores can go running off doing something at the same time so you've got parallel inside of your computer inside of your cpu and so there are the techniques of threads for join that kind of thing and the library is called openmp and it's really not a library it's a computer a compiler extension and so you're putting comments in that you say this nets for loop do this you can split this 25 ways if you want here well some more vector units and so you're splitting out um so that has to do with your floating point operations and so many cores have pores can have multiple vector units with them well if you're trying to stream vectors and do calculations then yeah so think vectorization sse extensions that kind of stuff again it's it is cpu instructions but also you're really still looking at the compilers gpus have thrown another wrinkle in there a huge an immense wrinkle for us science scientific computational scientists how would fpgas stack up in this with with uh vector math it should that's about in my research that it happens and i'm thinking specifically support vector machines okay i know the term i know but i really recommend yeah um later let's see yeah yeah i've got friends that love fpgas and yeah yeah i would and they would probably love to talk to you but uh uh it's less of a specialty of mine um so gpus have thrown a huge wrinkle it's like making us rethink all this again but you know think about what you're throwing away if you've got your serial program that you rocked you know the craig one or whatever you had that serial program massively parallel split out okay well two cpus that's okay you got along cores well i'm just going to ignore them well now you've thrown away you know a good you know some multiple of that machine's performance you've said oh i don't have any vectorization you're throwing away another multiple of the machine's performance and so on and gpus well they give us a lot they're very very good to uh to try to get a hold of their cuda open acc is an extension there's another open acc's uh directors very much like openmp okay um i had debugging profiling challenges that you face when you're doing massively parallel you're doing tens of thousands of processes a lot of you know that's that'd be quite a lot for visual studio to split up your debugger they're they're special t software and support so that you can be assured that your calculations are doing what you want them to do and the word that comes up in all this is scalable problems or algorithms that can be a that can effectively use this um massively parallel computing so for summarizing the uh parallel i like the and so in 77 is when they delivered craig delivered the uh the crate 1a in 78 the so the cray operating system used to be programmed by cray the uh automatically vectorizing the first automatic automatically vectorizing fortran compiler was delivered in the cray assembly language and craze had a long heritage in that compiler technology they're still tuned to their machines they still do a lot of development in compilers but they are tuned and applicable only to a cray they remain cutting edge taking the performance technologies but i've got a gpu system we can get awesome performance on the problem on a cray that it has to run on windows and we're like do you all have a windows edition of your crate they don't but i would sure love one um i've already mentioned mpi openmpi um is a open source version mpich is also open source freely available what's up with source um openmpi oh yeah yeah yeah yeah how do you like npi versus cl they're actually uh different creatures i think but let me uh yeah uh anyway opening pep threads um and that's really where we're living in terms of our cpus and our computers is is at the thread level and um and so net language really intel most of the industries here dealing with threads um the other things are free cuda gcc and so on but moving along um massively parallel machine law to processors i like that we had our uh so how can we uh how can we network and communicate between all these nodes and so thinking we've got the nsa proof telephone design here and so you can string out right one to the next and what you need to be able to do is to easily i need to add another cabinet well you know that's this design certainly comes to mind you know that that would make it really easy to join in but if this guy needs to get a message to that guy it's got to go through a guy in the middle and you know that's a lot of strings and pink hands so the next design all these designs were tried over a period of time that nobody knew what to do right and so they were just trying anything this was kind of a i was trying to diagram what's called a fat tree and so down here these guys can communicate you make as you get closer to the root you make the uh the bandwidth fatter so then you can have constant up and down bandwidth between the processors and still be able to join things together in the middle is a hypercube they were hypercube or that's a four dimensional cube um how do you do that connection well hold on and uh so yeah what you you know there were all these different designs and we're actually going to do an exercise here in a few minutes um i completely connected you know because then you could say well this should be the best right because now every processor is only one hop away from you so that should be the right design but it's immensely complex to add a new machine every machine you have to completely connected to all the machines that were there before but it was uh a lot of machines a lot of companies but um promised an exercise here so uh cray t3d late 90s 98 and stands the t3d stands for three dimensional taurus and so bonus points if you all knew that taurus is the mathematical name for the like the skin of a donut okay and so this is a three-dimensional taurus everybody see the donut on the diaphragm all right so think of the the grid the layers okay running this way and so just an x y grid all these connected up and now uh i'm going to put the mic down to do this all right i'll try to talk loud okay so we've got the grid light up like this all right now what we're going to do is join the edges because whenever you get to here well what do you do with this dangly bit you know where's this wire connect from this guy what you're going to do is loop it around to the bottom and so by doing that then i've connected the wires top to bottom here well then i'm going to go if you loop it around then you would get a donut shape okay what i've done with that is just one layer so now think of lots of layers and so you're trying to solve pdes in three dimensional space right so you're going up down left right that's y z okay and so do the same we've got the top and the bottom all right so we're going to join the y so let's see if i can keep the top visible here so we got the x and y and now what you need to do is reach into four dimensional space and just pull the z around and connect it where's the fourth dimension coming from is it because there's principles of these yeah and so what you're needing to do x and y would make a bunch of doughnuts shelled inside of each other right okay but in four space if you're think like a mathematician yeah there's another the top and the bottom would be free just like these are right whenever you're joining them but you can't you can't embed this in three spaces so so that's it wasn't quite a hypercube hypercube's uh four-dimensional extension of a cube okay and so then that's but you can see the efficiency for pdes is that very often you need to talk to your neighbors north south east west and up and down and so that's the communication flow that transfers that works well okay um and those are the types of problems often solved on the craze are the fluid dynamics type of problems i'd see and so summarizing the interconnects um sea star was their previous technology gemini's current technology the gemini for the cray is represented here it's showing very fat pipes in different directions and so it was an upgrade to the to the sea star and but these interconnects are exotic they're unique to cray you couldn't just get one and hook it to your pc and it wouldn't make any sense but um and uh something i learned while putting this top together from the person who owns our credit the makerspace is that i was griping about whenever i was working with jaguar and then it would be like stopped and then you would have to wait a couple hours and then it would be going again and what he said was that whenever the sea star the sea star had no recovery and so whenever you like dropped a node something went with one of those chips then you lost the whole machine you lost the whole topology no more communication could occur the only thing to do is go and like pull the plug and restart it uh gemini can reroute and recover and so it can flush the network get it back to a previous known good state route those out whatever was failing and then recover and so it added robustness and as you go massively parallel you've gotta you've gotta do that and uh but overall the giggy switch for most of our calculations is good enough for us we can all get that a few more components moving along data storage um so interesting things so the compute nodes are effectively net booted and they run from a ram disk they don't have any hard drives i got into the word huge here huge data sets are required for initial data so when you're trying to get that problem started you've got all these processors and they're ready to calculate that they need whatever they need to calculate on that initial data you've got huge output and uh so you've got throughput if it's all waiting for data to be written to disk and you're just sitting around you're getting no throughput um for your uh through your machine and then you know it's a huge potential bottleneck you know that initial data loaded across all the compute nodes imagine 200 000 computers just sitting around waiting for the hard drive you know we get frustrated when one computer is sitting around waiting for that 200 000 all waiting for it and uh so the solution it's a very active area of research what you want is a parallel file system and so you want like one file open for 200 000 processors and all of them can pull in at the same time their portion of these huge files and so lustre is the name of the file system we're using at oak ridge and we'll have a picture here on the next one of our file system and so the current file system is 14 000 sata drives it is a raid sits technology or redundancy and so you've got eight dis plus two spare um and i asked yesterday so there's 10 to 20 hard drive failures per month which i thought was remarkably low 14 000 sata drives they said it's been ticking up this is about three or four years old so it's starting to kick up it's being replaced um and so this is a picture of the new system there's 20 a little over 20 000 2 terabyte sas drives storing a total of 32 petabytes spinning okay so and a 1.2 terabyte per second transfer rate and uh this this is um um i call it beer cooler but yeah they they push the cold air up through here and then it exhausts out through the machine so this is a cold environment and then the room's um not all air-conditioned cooled and it's really cold in this room and so these are just hard drives and i got this picture when we were in there yesterday besides the super computers this side of the room see these pillars is all storage and i wanted to give a different perspective this is from the outside of the room and so if you go to the nccs to observe the computers there's the pillars you can just barely see the top of the computers there you know the other third of the room is just hard drives it's just data and uh how many megawatts an hour does this thing burn how many powerpoints well yeah same question we're gonna actually answer that it's a fun i was curious too okay so we'll finish up a couple more components here um so programming operating systems we've gone through a lot of it but uh somebody so crayos was proprietary it's now linux it's susi so it's a version of susi linux it's been modified the network stack especially has been changed and so it's called cray linux environment or the cla yeah so um craig compilers there's also other companies that operate in the high performance computing realm pgi or portland group it's a compiler company intel is more pushing down towards the threads they're not really helping us a lot in these crazy rarefied air environments um libraries we've talked about a lot of these so cuda and so on and the debugging tools and this is my favorite out of all of them this is called vampire it's from a university and university of dresden but what you're seeing here are mpi communication patterns going here you're getting a visualization of oh wait a second you know my my computer's sitting idle for all this red time how can i get it to computing and being able to look and visualize across all those thousands of processes why am i getting how could i improve my performance you have gcc compilers is there anything for llvm or is that totally outside the space it is not outside the space and there's william seems to be taking over the world right now yeah um let me think about my answer to that one okay i would love um because there's yeah so you can do gcc what we've done a lot one compiler won't find something that another compiler will in g c and g fortran do a lot of four training programming we're trying to rocks okay so a lot of the programming scientific programming is still done in fortran um now somebody asked about power power cooling and infrastructure and throwing them all together to get through them uh integrated cooling again it was a seymour crate design feature he he integrated it from his earliest designs and craze will not operate they'll check the environment they'll come up and the very first thing they'll do is check that environment and make sure that the environment's satisfactory to whatever it needs and there's an environmental interlock they will not run if you know it loses the air conditioning or whatever and uh cray knew the he needed to shut his computers down if he lost cooling but he didn't have the interlock the other way and so there is the story of a frozen computer that they lost power the computer stopped computing but the cooling didn't and so whenever they came in the next morning they came into a frozen ice cube of a crate um somebody asked about craig or power 8.3 megawatts um was used for the lynn pack whenever they did their limp top 500 run so everything's lit up and running so if i did my math right okay uh 8 300 kilowatts times an hour and so 8 300 kilowatt hours hopefully uh i don't know how much they pay our industrial rate in east tennessee is about 13 cents per kilowatt hour so that's a thousand almost a thousand or eleven hundred dollars per hour power bill multiplying it up twenty six thousand dollars a day and three quarters of a million dollars per month just for power for this um what has become much more concerning important is the thermal efficiency how much are you getting how much computing are you getting per watt uh power used and titan actually ranks like number two or number three on that list so it is very efficient but it's huge and uh um and power is really also a constraint to etsoscale what comes after petascale exascale an exo-flop is a thousand-fold increase to a pedophile okay um and so if you just scaled all your numbers then you're needing 8.3 gigawatts and that is multiple nuclear power plants to power your one computer yeah we haven't said anything infrastructure the maintenance all the space all that stuff so there's a lot of costs that go into it and so people often ask well why'd you have to retire it why'd you have to turn it off and uh so that can give a reason uh so summary craze are wonderful machines but they're designed for a problem set that not a lot of us have um there are several exotic components but the ones that impact us are commodities and our phones and computers and all the things we have are wonderful little parallel computers you can get into parallel computing that way i did programming did my phd research on my mac eight core machine and that experience translated clear up to running on the cray and so most of the software and resources used on the cray are freely available you anybody can get them building your own linux cluster is something we can all do this is uh this is an example of one i had two high school students over the summer and we rehabilitated rehabilitated an old um uh just a linux cluster it's about 30 dell 1850s or older machines but and they can max out at like three gigs of memory but they still make a decent um compute a parallel computer environment yeah parallel mpi computer environment so we talked about the big cray um let's talk about the cray at the makerspace so here it is um pictured and i've got the the front cover off so you can see inside what there are is um there's what's called three chassis and so these run these ways this this way it's a one two three and these are like three separate racks sort of um there's eight blades per um chassis and then inside each chassis there's four nodes or four modules and what these with the holes on them are kind of the the i o nodes or the startup nodes and so you're seeing the wires going in out of this chassis only the bottom row is fully populated with memory and uh this is we said it was netbooted this is an asus desktop machine that's providing the boot and root and all the management of the cray cluster there let's see what else um above that is an infiniband fiber optic cisco switch um and so there's a total of 98 96 notes per cabinet all right um so what do you do with one of these when you went at an auction well it did sit at in their garage at their house and yeah he did have a cray in his garage and uh he did ask his wife first before uh winning the crate um it weighs 1500 pounds it was bought at surplus for 750 dollars and uh i promised a little story he told me he said uh it took eight guys whenever he to push it onto the moving truck and so that reminded me whenever because the guys were pushing around the other crate um he said they were a lot smarter when they got the home they took all the blades out took all the sides off and then you just had like a 300 pound rack that they could go down the ramp with um so it was just i didn't know anything about the cray being bought that he was gonna try to move it to the maker space or anything until there was just this explosion of just really arcane weird power discussion that came up on the email list and they started talking about three phase and well how many amps can you get out of a blog so it turned out that this was the discussion for how do you power a craig so it is three-phase 208 volts we needed an electrician to come and install that they expect that they want a 100 amp circuit try to get in 100 amp circuit from tva we have a 30 amp circuit um and what yeah this is the power module at the bottom and it delivers to the machines it's delivering 52 volts dc at 62 amps it uses about three and a half kilowatts just sitting either and so it cost us about 60 cents an hour to run i was like that's not bad and then i multiplied it out and it's like 15 bucks a day okay but then it's 400 a month yeah oh and that's not including anything else okay so cooling um so another of the discussions that was going around was how we're going to cool this thing and it's like well we could use a single-phase car fan you know and so there were just all these crazy things going around we were able to use the original 2200 cubic foot per minute fan on a three-phase motor because we did get three feet phase power there is a 15 degree fahrenheit temperature rise between the incoming and the exhaust air and so i multiplied out well we have 25 000 cubic feet square cubic feet space that the oak ridge entrepreneurial center where we're located and so we can turn over all the air in the room and heating it up by 15 degrees in 12 minutes this is a compute blade and i have one up here um the i'll hold it up here and you all can come and see it i'm trying to get to the end here so the sea star interconnects are down here at the end memory slots and then four cpus these were only single cpu machines the four nodules modules but notice what's not on here you don't see a lot of other support ship anything else yeah this is a remarkably i'm gonna pick this up a remarkably clean board yeah okay so that necessitates that you have to push everything to the board everything goes over as you're trying to boot it these are the interconnects in the back you open up the back of the cray there's all these wires it looks like the borg or something um and you can't really see it but these are labeled x y and z this is where you would wire to the net sky to create that three-dimensional taurus that's all the communications power and stuff well now the powers that blue ribbon go up the side is the dc voltage that's just communication lines going through those umbilical cords so here it is again a couple more publicity photos is there a control blade or how do you give a terminal starting it up good question all right i've got 30 seconds to do it anywhere start over yeah here we go okay this uh this video is about two and a half minutes long this was from very initial just clicky clicky click telling the chassis to start its power up sequence the fans coming on as you see by the indicator and you'll start seeing these are the control nodes down in here and so you're going to bring up one um while we're waiting for the lights to start going blinky blinky um a few other notes are that um the this one takes about 20 minutes to be yeah jaguar took an hour to be it brings up what they do is they have to push all of the bios all of the boot they have to bootstrap it in 4k chunks to one node and they'll bring up one node that takes an hour and titan now because of all the gpus and extra checkouts it's two hours to boot one note but it takes 30 seconds to boot the next 18 000. so you know it works out on average not too bad but um i don't are any lights blinking yet please come on yeah a little bit um we've got a few we'll get a there's a row of lights after all it's doing right now is checking the environment you know i kept like all right we got lights okay good um and so it's really just going through like all the hardware here what's here what's going on hey are we going to run i don't know yeah and i kept thinking all right are we done yet okay and then he's like no it's like you've turned your car on and it's decided that it is a car and but you haven't started it you haven't gotten there yet you know it's just kind of checked and okay so that fan's pretty quiet we're going gonna do another video so now the blowers come up and then that's full speed so this one's not very long um that's about finished okay here's a few of the screens i'm sorry they didn't translate you can come up or didn't don't show up clear but it's basically the commands to start powering this baby on you can see a reflection there in the glass of the owner we're at another stage it has reported the machines there and let's see i think i've got basically this should look a lot like a linux boot window sort of you're seeing a lot of uh time stamps and things going by so it's booting lenses yeah and uh here we go i hope this one i'm actually going to try to do it from up here because it's important look at this last part okay so the last video ever okay uh here we go listen carefully okay okay i don't know if you guys did you hear it he said we're booting we're booted and you hear me in the background go huh so with that very profound announcement what's that sorry with that very profound um comment for me because i just rebooted it with that very profound insight i inside a big crescent wrench behind your uh you like that like on your picture there look good so anyway all right uh so i'll call for questions so how do you control it you just like telnet serial console monitor the i saw the mac but yeah the only machine over here that the controller is this asus desktop so we've so it is just a machine it's just a machine and then you're telling instructions to the cons to the chassis there are micro controllers in the chassis for environmental all that and you're actually bringing up 486 controllers on each of like the chassis being the horizontal thing so there's a 486 there then you get to start booting the amd's and the blades and so then you get to we're booted after 20 minutes yes over here in the hackerspace build what are you using for your data storage it's actually in that uh he's he's using the that asus and so there is um that's a component he didn't get was the uh like the storage something imagine that and so uh so what is it like nfs or something there it's nfs there's things like yeah so you're doing that it's infiniband is coming back yes so i mean in the age of these commodities super clusters like hadoop and a lot of the others do you think there's still going to be a place for these bespoke machines for too much longer it's a good question and you know we keep making them bigger and faster and getting bigger and faster problems and uh our problems needing bigger so there is it was like a super computer collapse in the late 90s that a lot of mission our companies went bankrupt but there are but they're they're exotic problems you know and so it's it's not it is it's a great question it could be subject to a lot of discussion it seems to me that that as far as corporate is concerned they're going to go down the hadoop training as far as scientific computing well so a lot of the problems i wouldn't want to put those through a mapreduce process it would just it would be adding an unnecessary complexity yeah and so business problems do not necessarily mount into crate space they are they are they are esoteric that way so but we do still have a lot of big national international importance problems that need it yes what was the the smallest like problem set that's like gone through one of your clusters and like the longest like time running is wise like somebody with like a five-minute problem like because of the load or um it's they are shared so that's something about it is queuing and because it doesn't make sense to have this humongous machine i got one guy running one processor and doing hello world um and um and so what you're doing is that there's a queuing management system so then you submit and you say i need a thousand processors and believe it or not you'll get it back i run up to 20 000 processors interactive on my code and it allocates out of the giant bullet will allocate 20 000 processors and then you ask for an amount of time and then you have it and then when your time's up they all go to somebody else maui is used that's opens partially open source there's um support maui cray really has their own queuing system but in maps just like open source ones are available so if that helps any but yeah it does an amazing job of being able to allocate all these resources and get your code over there and somehow map that well here's your scratch disk space put your data here these things can see the data and the blasted thing works it's amazing uh is there much documentation available for the architecture methodology betw behind the interconnects and if not was there an nda signed when you acquired that display um this is out of the makerspace one he let me bring it over here i'm sorry he said i can handle it y'all can kind of look at it that you yeah he's under an nda to no um but there are licensing and so he has a hobbyist license as a cray you're a hobbyist owner of a cray so he had to have a happiest license from craig for him to get the software for his correct so i i do find that funny all this stuff is talked about in the literature it's a dragonfly he said is the nets network topology so before we had up down left or xy apology dragonfly has smaller pipes going around but then it goes in more directions and so he said that's becoming we're trying we're moving different sorts of problems than just the classical fluid dynamics pdes onto it one of my other favorites is that mega droid somebody's booted two million android kernels on jaguar and then simulated a whole city of android phones all moving around and they were sending text messages to each other and talking to each other and moving around and hey how are you and so that's that's about it's a totally different problem than a foot i'm sure thank you very much |

0Br9U2PJe2Y | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Br9U2PJe2Y | Fluorescent lighting | Wikipedia audio article | a fluorescent lamp or fluorescent tube is a low pressure mercury vapour gas discharge lamp that uses fluorescence to produce visible light an electric current in the gas excites mercury vapor which produces shortwave ultraviolet light that then causes a phosphor coating on the inside of the lamp to glow a fluorescent lamp converts electrical energy into useful light much more efficiently than incandescent lamps the typical luminous efficacy of fluorescent lighting systems is 50 to 100 lumens per watt several times the efficacy of incandescent bulbs with comparable light output fluorescent lamp fixtures are more costly than incandescent lamps because they require a ballast to regulate the current through the lamp but the lower energy costs typically offsets a higher initial cost compact fluorescent lamps are now available in the same popular sizes as incandescent and are used as an energy-saving alternative in homes because they contain mercury many fluorescent lamps are classified as hazardous waste the United States Environmental Protection Agency recommends that fluorescent lamps be segregated from general waste for recycling or safe disposal and some jurisdictions require recycling of them topic history topic physical discoveries fluorescence of certain rocks and other substances had been observed for hundreds of years before its nature was understood by the middle of the 19th century experimenters had observed a radiant glow emanating from partially evacuated glass vessels through which an electric current passed one of the first to explain it was the Irish scientist Sir George Stokes from the University of Cambridge in 1852 who named the phenomenon fluorescence after flew right a mineral many of whose samples glows strongly because of impurities the explanation relied on the nature of electricity and light phenomena is developed by the British scientist Michael Faraday in the 1840s and James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860s little more was done with this phenomenon until 1856 when German glassblower Heinrich Geissler created a mercury vacuum pump that evacuated a glass tube to an extent not previously possible Geisler invented the first gas discharge lamp the Geissler tube consisting of a partially evacuated glass tube with a metal electrode at either end when a high voltage was applied between the electrodes the inside of the tube lit up with a glow discharge by putting different chemicals inside the tubes could be made to produce a variety of colors and elaborate Geissler tubes were sold for entertainment more important however was its contribution to scientific research one of the first scientists to experiment with a Geissler tube was Julius plucker who systematically described in 1858 the luminescent effects that occurred in a Geissler tube he also made the important observation that the glow in the tube shifted position when in proximity to an electromagnetic field Alexandre Edmond Becquerel observed in 1859 that certain substances gave off light when they were placed in a Geissler tube he went on to apply thin coatings of luminescent materials to the surfaces of these tubes fluorescence occurred but the tubes were very inefficient and had a short operating life inquiries that began with the Geissler tube continued as even better vacuums were produced the most famous was the evacuated tube used for scientific research by William Crookes that tube was evacuated by the highly effective mercury vacuum pump created by Herman's Pringle research conducted by crooks and others ultimately led to the discovery of the electron in 1897 by JJ Thomson and x-rays in 1895 by wilhelm ERG but the crooks tube as it came to be known produced little light because the vacuum in it was too good in the slack the trace amounts of gas that are needed for electrically stimulated luminescence topic early discharge lamps while Becker was interested primarily in conducting scientific research into fluorescence Thomas Edison briefly pursued fluorescent lighting for its commercial potential he invented a fluorescent lamp in 1896 that used a coating of calcium tungstate as the fluorescing substance excited by x-rays but although it received a patent in 1907 it was not put into production as with a few other attempts to use Geissler tubes for illumination it had a short operating life and given the success of the incandescent light Edison had little reason to pursue an alternative means of electrical illumination Nikola Tesla made similar experiments in the 1890s devising high frequency powered fluorescent bulbs that gave a bright greenish light but as with Edison's devices no commercial success was achieved although Edison had lost interest in fluorescent lighting one of his former employees was able to create a gas based lamp that achieved a measure of commercial success in 1895 Daniel McFarland Moore demonstrated lamps two to three meters six point six to nine point eight feet in length that used carbon dioxide or nitrogen to emit white or pink light respectively as with future fluorescent lamps they were considerably more complicated than an incandescent bulb after years of work Moore was able to extend the operating life of the lamps by inventing an electromagnetically controlled valve that maintained a constant gas pressure within the tube although Moore's lamp was complicated was expensive to install and required very high voltages it was considerably more efficient than incandescent lamps and it produced a closer approximation to natural daylight than contemporary incandescent lamps from 1904 onwards Moore's lighting system was installed in a number of stores and offices its success contributed to general electrics motivation to improve the incandescent lamp especially its filament GES efforts came to fruition with the invention of a tungsten based filament the extended lifespan and improved efficacy of incandescent bulbs negated one of the key advantages of Moore's lamp but ge purchased the relevant patents in 1912 these patents and the inventive efforts that supported them were to be of considerable value when the firm took up fluorescent lighting more than two decades later at about the same time that Moore was developing his lighting system another American was creating a means of illumination that also can be seen as a precursor to the modern fluorescent lamp this was the mercury vapour lamp invented by Peter Cooper Hewitt and patented in 1901 u.s. 682 2692 this patent number is frequently misquoted as us 889 692 Hewitt's lamp glowed when an electric current was passed through mercury vapor at a low pressure unlike Moore's lamps Hewitt's were manufactured in standardized sizes and operated at low voltages the mercury vapor lamp was superior to the incandescent lamps of the time in terms of energy efficiency but the blue-green light had produced limited its applications it was however used for photography and some industrial processes mercury vapor lamps continued to be developed at a slow pace especially in Europe and by the early 1930s they received limited use for large-scale illumination some of them employed fluorescent coatings but these were used primarily for color correction and not for enhanced light output mercury vapour lamps also anticipated the fluorescent lamp in their incorporation of a ballast to maintain a constant current cooper-hewitt had not been the first to use mercury vapour for illumination as earlier efforts had been mounted by way repair Farren's & Bastian and Salisbury of particular importance was the mercury vapour lamp invented by coach in Germany this lamp used quartz in place of glass to allow higher operating temperatures and hence greater efficiency although its light output relative to electrical consumption was better than that of other sources of light the lighter produced was similar to that of the cooper-hewitt lamp in that it lacked the red portion of the spectrum making it unsuitable for ordinary lighting Topic neon lamps the next step in gas based lighting took advantage of the luminescent qualities of neon and inert gas that have been discovered in 1898 by isolation from the atmosphere neon glowed a brilliant red when used in Geissler tubes by 1910 George Claude a Frenchman who had developed the technology in a successful business for a liquefaction was obtaining enough neon as a by-product to support in neon lighting industry while neon lighting was used around 1930 in France for general illumination it was no more energy efficient than conventional incandescent lighting neon tube lighting which also includes the use of argon and mercury vapor as alternative gases came to be used primarily for eye catching signs and advertisements neon lighting was relevant to the development of fluorescent lighting however as clothes improved electrode patented in 1915 overcame sputtering a major source of electrode degradation sputtering occurred when ionized particles struck an electrode and tore off bits of metal although Claude's invention required electrodes with a lot of surface area it showed that a major impediment to gas based lighting could be overcome the development of the neon light also was significant for the last key element of the fluorescent lamp it's fluorescent coating in 1926 Jacque rissalah received a French patent for the application of fluorescent coatings to neon light tubes the main use of these lamps which can be considered the first commercially successful fluorescence was for advertising not general illumination this however was not the first use of fluorescent coatings Becker L had earlier used the idea and Edison used calcium tungstate for his unsuccessful lamp other efforts had been mounted but all were plagued by low efficiency and various technical problems of particular importance was the invention in 1927 of a low voltage metal vapour lamp by friedrich meyer hans joaquin spanner and edmund irma who were employees of a german firm in berlin the german patent was granted but the lamp never went into commercial production topic commercialization of fluorescent lamps all the major features of fluorescent lighting were in place at the end of the 1920s decades of invention and development had provided the key components of fluorescent lamps economically manufactured glass tubing inert gases for filling the tubes electrical ballasts long lasting electrodes Mercury Bay as a source of luminescence effective means of producing a reliable electrical discharge and fluorescent coatings that could be energised by ultraviolet light at this point intensive development was more important than basic research in 1934 Arthur Compton a renowned physicist and GE consultant reported to the GE lamp Department on successful experiments with fluorescent lighting at General Electric Co limited in Great Britain unrelated to General Electric in the United States stimulated by this report and with all of the key elements available a team led by Georgie Inman built a prototype fluorescent lamp in 1934 at General Electric sneller Park Ohio engineering laboratory this was not a trivial exercise as noted by Arthur a bright a great deal of experimentation had to be done on lamp sizes and shapes cathode construction gas pressures at both argon and mercury vapor colors of fluorescent powders methods of attaching them to the inside of the tube and other details of the lamp and its auxiliaries before the new device was ready for the public in addition to having engineers and technicians along with facilities for R&D work on fluorescent lamps General Electric controlled what it regarded as the key patents covering fluorescent lighting including the patents originally issued to human Moore and coach more important than these was a patent covering an electrode that did not disintegrate at the gas pressures that ultimately were employed in fluorescent lamps Albert W hull of GE Schenectady Research Laboratory filed for a patent on this invention in 1927 which was issued in 1931 General Electric used its control of the patents to prevent competition with its incandescent lights and probably delayed the introduction of fluorescent lighting by 20 years eventually war production required 24-hour factories with economical lighting and fluorescent lights became available while the whole patent gave GE a basis for claiming legal rights over the fluorescent lamp a few months after the lamp went into production the firm learned of a US patent application that had been filed in 1927 for the aforementioned metal vapour lamp invented in Germany by Maya spanner and Germer the patent application indicated that the lamp had been created as a superior means of producing ultraviolet light but the application also contained a few statements referring to fluorescent illumination efforts to obtain a US patent had met with numerous delays but were it to be granted the patent might have caused serious difficulties for GE at first G sought to block the issuance of a patent by claiming the priority should go to one of their employees Leroy J Buddle who according to their claim had invented a fluorescent lamp in 1919 and whose patent application was still pending GE also had filed a patent application in 1936 in England's name to cover the improvements brought by his group in 1939 ge decided that the claim of Mya spanner and Germer had some merit and that in any event a long interference procedure was not in their best interest they therefore dropped the Buttle claim and paid 180 thousand dollars to acquire the Mya at our application which at that point was owned by a firm known as electrons Inc the patent was duly awarded in December 1939 this patent along with the whole patent put G on what seemed to be firm legal ground although it faced years of legal challenges from Sylvania electric products which claimed infringement on patents that it held even though the patent issue was not completely resolved for many years General Electric strength in manufacturing and marketing gave it a preeminent position in the emerging fluorescent light market sales of fluorescent blue milling lamps commenced in 1938 when four different sizes of tubes were put on the market they were used in fixtures manufactured by three leading corporations light alia aircraft fluorescent lighting corporation and globe lighting the slimline fluorescent ballasts public introduction in 1946 was by Westinghouse and General Electric and showcased display case fixtures were introduced by aircraft fluorescent lighting corporation in 1946 during the following year GE and Westinghouse publicized the new lights through exhibitions at the New York World's Fair and the Golden Gate International Exposition in San Francisco fluorescent lighting systems spread rapidly during World War Two as wartime manufacturing intensified lighting demand by 1951 more light was produced in the United States by fluorescent lamps than by incandescent lamps in the first years inkatha's silicate with varying content of beryllium was used as greenish phosphor small additions of magnesium tungstate improved the blue part of the spectrum yielding acceptable white after it was discovered that beryllium was toxic Paulo phosphate based phosphors took over topic principles of operation the fundamental means for conversion of electrical energy into radiant energy in a fluorescent lamp relies on inelastic scattering of electrons when an incident electron collides with an atom in the mercury gas if the incident free electron has enough kinetic energy it transfers energy to the atoms outer electron causing that electron to temporarily jump up to a higher energy level the collision is inelastic because a loss of kinetic energy occurs this higher energy state is unstable and the atom will emit an ultraviolet photon as the atoms electron reverts to a lower more stable energy level most of the photons that are released from the mercury atoms have wavelengths in the ultraviolet UV region of the spectrum predominantly at wavelengths of 250 three-point-seven and 185 nanometers nanometer these are not visible to the human eye so they must be converted into visible light this is done by making use of fluorescence ultraviolet photons are absorbed by electrons in the atoms of the lamps interior fluorescent coating causing a similar energy jump then dropped with a mission of a further photon the photon that is emitted from this second interaction has a lower energy than the one that caused it the chemicals that make up the phosphor are chosen so that these emitted photons are at wavelengths visible to the human eye the difference in energy between the absorbed ultraviolet photon and the emitted visible light photon goes toward heating up the phosphor coating when the light is turned on the electric power heats up the cathode enough for it to emit electrons thermionic emission these electrons collide with an ionized noble gas atoms inside the bulb surrounding the filament to form a plasma by the process of impact ionization as a result of Havelange ionization the conductivity of the ionized gas rapidly Rises allowing higher currents to flow through the lamp the fill gas helps determine the operating electrical characteristics of the lamp but does not give off light itself the fill gas effectively increases the distance that electrons travel through the tube which allows an electron a greater chance of interacting with a mercury atom argon atoms excited to a metastable state by impact of an electron can impart this energy to a neutral mercury atom and ionize it described as a painting effect this has the benefit of lowering the breakdown and operating voltage of the lamp compared to other possible fill gases such as Krypton topic construction a fluorescent lamp tube is filled with a gas containing low pressure mercury vapour and argan xenon neon or Krypton the pressure inside the lamp is around 0.3% of atmospheric pressure the inner surface of the lamp is coated with a fluorescent and often slightly phosphorescent coating made of varying blends of metallic and rare earth phosphor salts the lamps electrodes are typically made of cold tungsten and usually referred to as cathodes because of their prime function of emitting electrons for this they are coated with a mixture of barium strontium and calcium oxides chosen to have a low thermionic emission temperature fluorescent lamp tubes are typically straight and range in length from about 100 millimetres 3.9 in for miniature lamps to 2.4 3 meters 8.0 feet for high output lamps some lamps have the tube bent into a circle used for table lamps or other places where a more compact light source is desired larger u-shaped lamps are used to provide the same amount of light in a more compact area and are used for special architectural purposes compact fluorescent lamps have several small diameter tubes joined in a bundle of tube four or six or a small diameter tube called into a helix to provide a high amount of light output in little volume by emitting phosphors are applied as a paint like coating to the inside of the tube the organic solvents are allowed to evaporate then the tube is heated to nearly the melting point of glass to drive off remaining organic compounds and fuse the coating to the lamp tube careful control of the grain size of the suspended phosphors is necessary large grains 35 micrometers or larger lead to weak grainy coatings whereas too many small particles one or two micrometers or smaller leads to pol light maintenance and efficiency most phosphors perform best with a particle size around 10 micrometers the coating must be thick enough to capture all the ultraviolet light produced by the mercury arc but not so thick that the phosphor coating absorbs too much visible light the first phosphors were synthetic versions of naturally occurring florescent minerals with small amounts of metals added as activators later other compounds were discovered allowing different colors of lamps to be made topic electrical aspects of operation fluorescent lamps and negative differential resistance devices so is more current flow through them the electrical resistance of the fluorescent lamp drops allowing for even more current to flow connected directly to a constant voltage power supply a fluorescent lamp would rapidly self-destruct because of the uncontrolled current flow to prevent this fluorescent lamps must use an auxilary device a ballast to regulate the current flow through the lamp the terminal voltage across an operating lamp varies depending on the arc current tube diameter temperature and fill gas a fixed part of the voltage drop is to to the electrodes the general lighting service 48-inch one thousand two hundred and nineteen millimeters t12 lamp operates at 430 milliamperes with 100 volts drop high output lamps operated eight hundred milli amperes and some tights operate up to 1.5 a the power level varies from 33 to 82 watts per meter of tube length 10 to 25 with feet for t12 lamps the simplest ballasts for alternating current AC uses an inductor placed in series consisting of a winding on a laminated magnetic core the inductance of this winding limits the flow of AC current this type is still used for example in 120 volt operated desk lamps using relatively short lamps ballasts are rated for the size of lamp and power frequency where the AC voltage is insufficient to start long fluorescent lamps the ballast is often a step-up auto transformer with substantial leakage inductance so as to limit the current flow either form of inductive ballast may also include a capacitor for power factor correction many different circuits have been used to operate fluorescent lamps the choice of circuit is based on AC voltage tube length initial cost long-term cost instant versus non instant starting temperature ranges and parts availability etc fluorescent lamps can run directly from a direct current DC supply of sufficient voltage to strike an arc the ballast must be resistive and would consume about as much power as the lamp when operated from DC the starting switch is often arranged to reverse the polarity of the supply to the lamp each time it is started otherwise the mercury accumulates at one end of the tube fluorescent lamps are almost never operated directly from DC for those instead an inverter converts the DC into AC and provides the current limiting function is described below for electronic ballasts topic effective temperature the light output and performance of fluorescent lamps is critically affected by the temperature of the bulb wall and its effect on the partial pressure of mercury vapour within the lamp each lamp contains a small amount of mercury which must vaporize to support the lamp current and generate light at low temperatures the mercury is in the form of dispersed liquid droplets as the lamp warms more of the mercury is in vapor form at higher temperatures self absorption in the vapor reduces the yield of UV and visible light since mercury condenses at the coolest spot in the lamp careful design is required to maintain that spot at the optimum temperature around 40 degrees Celsius 104 degrees Fahrenheit using an amalgam with some other metal reduces the vapor pressure and extends the optimum temperature range upward however the bulb wall cold spot temperature must still be controlled to prevent migration of the mercury out of the amalgam and condensing on the cold spot fluorescent lamps intended for higher output will have structural features such as a deform tube or internal heat sinks to control cold spot temperature and mercury distribution heavily loaded small lamps such as compact fluorescent lamps also include heat sink areas in the tube to maintain mercury vapor pressure at the optimum value topic losses only a fraction of the electrical energy input into a lamp is converted to useful light the ballast dissipates some heat electronic ballast may be around 90% efficient a fixed voltage drop occurs at the electrodes which also produces heat some of the energy in the mercury vapor column is also dissipated but about 85 percent is turned into visible and ultraviolet light the UV light is absorbed by the lamps fluorescent coating which reradiates the energy at longer wavelengths to emit visible light not all the UV energy striking the phosphor gets converted into visible light in a modern lamp for every 100 incident photons of UV impacting the phosphor only 86 visible light photons are emitted a quantum efficiency of 86% the largest single loss in modern lamps is due to the lower energy of each photon of visible light compared to the energy of the UV photons that generated them a phenomenon called Stokes shift incident photons have an energy of 5 point 5 electron volts but produce visible light photons with energy around 2.5 electron volts so only 45% of the UV energy is used the rest is dissipated as heat if a so called 2 photon phosphor could be developed this would improve the efficiency but much research has not yet found such a system topic cold cathode fluorescent lamps most fluorescent lamps use electrodes that operate by thermionic emission meaning they are operated at a high enough temperature for the electrode material usually aided by a special coating to emit electrons into the tube by heat however there are also tubes that operate in cold cathode mode whereby electrons are liberated into the tube only by the large potential difference voltage between the electrodes this does not mean the electrodes are cold indeed they can be very hot but it does mean they are operating below their thermionic emission temperature because cold cathode lamps have no thermionic emission coating to wear out they can have much longer lives than hot cathode tubes this quality makes them desirable for maintenance-free long life applications such as backlights in liquid crystal displays sputtering of the electrode may still occur but electrodes can be shaped eg into an internal cylinder to capture most of the Spotted material so it is not lost from the electrode cold cathode lamps are generally less efficient than thermionic emission lamps because the cathode fall voltage is much higher the increased fall voltage results in more power dissipation at tube ends which does not contribute to light output however this is less significant with longer tubes the increased power dissipation at tube ends also usually means cold cathode tubes have to be run at a low loading than their thermionic emission equivalents given the higher tube voltage required anyway these tubes can easily be made long and even run as Series strings they are better suited for bending into special shapes for lettering and signage and can also be instantly switched on or off topic starting the noble gas used in the fluorescent tube commonly argon must be ionized before the arc can strike within the tube for small lamps it does not take much voltage to strike the arc and starting the lamp presents no problem but larger tubes require a substantial voltage in the range of a thousand volts topic preheating this technique uses a combination filament cathode at each end of the lamp in conjunction with a mechanical or automatic bimetallic switch see circuit diagram to the right that initially connect the filaments in series with the ballast to preheat them when the arc is struck the filaments are disconnected this system is described as pre heat in some countries and switch start in others these systems are standard equipment in 200 to 240 volts countries and for 100 to 120 volts lamps up to about 30 watts before the 1960s for pin thermal starters and manual switches were used a mechanism then widely used for preheating still in common use is a glow switch starter Illustrated it consists of a normally open bimetallic switch in a small sealed gas discharge lamp containing a nerd gas neon or argon when power is first applied to the circuit there will be a glow discharge across the electrodes in the starter lamp this heats the gas in the starter and causes one of the bimetallic contacts to bend towards the other when the contacts touch the two filaments of the fluorescent lamp and the ballast will effectively be switched in series to the supply voltage the current through the filaments causes them to heat up and amid electrons into the tube gas by thermionic emission in the starter the touching contact short out the voltage sustaining the glow discharge extinguishing it so the gas cools down and no longer heats the bimetallic switch which opens within a second or two the current through the filaments and the inductive ballast is abruptly interrupted leaving the full line voltage applied between the filaments at the ends of the tube and generating an inductive kick which provides the high voltage needed to start the lamp the lamp will fail to strike if the filaments are not hot enough in which case the cycle repeats several cycles are usually needed which causes flickering and clicking during starting all the thermal starters behave better in this respect a power factor correction PFC capacitor draws leading current from the mains to compensate for the lagging current drawn by the lamp circuit once the tube strikes the impinging main discharge keeps the cathodes hot permitting continued electron emission without the need for the filaments to continue to be heated the starter switch does not close again because the voltage across the lip tube is insufficient to start a glow discharge in the starter with automated starters such as glow starters a failing tube will cycle endlessly flickering as the lamp quickly goes out because the emission mix is insufficient to keep the lamp current high enough to keep the glow starter open this runs the ballast at higher temperature some more advanced starters time out in this situation and do not attempt repeated starts until power is research some older systems used a thermal over current trip to detect repeated starting attempts and disable the circuit until manually reset the switch contacts in glow start is a subject to wear and inevitably fail eventually so the starter is manufactured as a plug-in replaceable unit more recently introduced electronic starters use a different method to preheat the cathodes they may be designed to be plug-in interchangeable with glow starters for use in standard fittings they commonly use a purpose design semiconductor switchin soft start the lamp by preheating the cathodes before applying a controlled starting pulse which strikes the lamp first time without flickering this dislodge is a minimal amount of material from the cathodes during starting giving longer lamp life than possible with the uncontrolled impulses to which the lamp is subjected in a switch start this is claimed to prolong lamp life by a factor of typically three to four times for a lamp frequently switched on is in domestic use and to reduce the blackening of the ends of the lamp typical of fluorescent tubes the circuit is typically complex but the complexity is built into the IC electronic starters may be optimized for fast starting typical start time of 0.3 seconds or for most reliable starting even at low temperatures and with low supply voltages with a startup time of 2 to 4 seconds the faster start units may produce audible noise during startup electronic starters only attempt to start a lamp for a short time when power is initially applied and do not repeatedly attempt to restrike a lamp that is dead and unable to sustain an arc some automatically shut down a failed lamp this eliminates the Reece triking of a lamp and the continuous flickering of a failing lamp with a glow starter electronic starters are not subject to wear and do not need replacing periodically although they may fail like any other electronic circuit manufacturers typically quote lives of twenty years or as long as the light fitting starters are inexpensive typically less than 50 for the short-lived glow type depending upon lamp power and perhaps 10 times more for the electronic type as of 2013 topic instant start another type of tube does not have filaments to start it at all instant start fluorescent tubes simply use a high enough voltage to break down the gas and mercury column and thereby start our conduction these tubes can be identified by a single pin at each end of the tube the lamp holders have a disconnect socket at the low-voltage end which disconnects the ballast when the tube is removed to prevent electric shock in North America low-cost lighting fixtures with an integrated electronic ballast use instant start on lamps originally designed for preheating although it shortens lamp life this ballast technology is in common outside North America topic rapid start newer rapid start ballast designs provide filament power windings within the ballast these rapidly and continuously warm the filaments cathodes using low voltage AC usually operating at a lower arc voltage than the instant start design no inductive voltage spike is produced for starting so the lamps must be mounted near a grounded earth reflector to allow the glow discharge to propagate through the tube and initiate the arc discharge in some lamps are grounded starting aid strip is attached to the outside of the lamp glass this ballast technology isn't used outside North America where 220 to 240 volts line voltage is common and are incompatible with the European energy saver t8 fluorescent lamps because these lamps requires a higher starting voltage than that of the open circuit voltage of rapid start ballasts topic quick start quick start ballasts use a small auto transformer to heat the filaments when power is first applied when an arc strikes the filament heating power is reduced in the tube will start within half a second the auto transformer is either combined with the ballast or maybe a separate unit tubes need to be mounted near an earth metal reflector in order for them to strike QuickStart ballasts are more common in commercial installations because of lower maintenance costs a QuickStart ballast eliminates the need for a starter switch a common source of lamp failures nonetheless QuickStart ballasts are also used in domestic residential installations because of the desirable feature that a QuickStart ballast light turns on nearly immediately after power is applied when a switch is turned on QuickStart ballasts are used only on 240 volts circuits and a design for use with the older less efficient t12 tubes topic semi resonance start the semi resonant start circuit was invented by thorne lighting for use with t12 fluorescent tubes this method uses a double wound transformer in a capacitor with no out current the transformer and capacitor resonated line frequency and generate about twice the supply voltage across the tube and a small electrode heating current this tube voltage is too low to strike the arc with cold electrodes but as the electrodes heat up to thermionic emission temperature the tube striking voltage falls below that of the ringing voltage and the arc strikes as the electrodes heat the lamp slowly over three to five seconds reaches full brightness as the arc current increases and tube voltage drops the circuit provides current limiting semi resonant start circuits are mainly restricted to use in commercial installations because of the higher initial cost of circuit components however there are no starter switches to be replaced in cathode damage is reduced during starting making lamps last longer reducing maintenance costs because of the high open circuited voltage this starting method is particularly good for starting tubes in cold locations additionally the circuit power factor is almost 1.0 and no additional power factor correction is needed in the lighting installation as the design requires that twice the supply voltage must be lower than the cold cathode striking voltage or the tubes would erroneously instant start this design cannot be used with 240 volt AC power unless the tubes are at least 1.2 meters 3 feet 11 in length semi resonant start fixtures are generally incompatible with energy-saving t8 retrofit tubes because such tubes have a higher starting voltage than t12 lamps and may not start reliably especially in low temperatures recent proposals in some countries to phase out t12 tubes will reduce the application of this starting method topic program start this is used with electronic ballast shown below this ballast applies power to the filaments first then after a short delay to allow the cathodes to preheat applies voltage to the lamps to strike an arc this ballast gives the best life and most starts from lamps and so is preferred for applications with very frequent power cycling such as vision examination rooms and restrooms with a motion detector switch topic electronic ballasts electronic ballasts employ transistors to change the supply frequency into high frequency AC while also regulating the current flow in the lamp some still use an inductance to limit the current but the higher frequency allows a much smaller inductance to be used others use a capacitor transistor combination to replace the inductor since the transistor in capacitor working together can simulate the action of an inductor these ballasts to take advantage of the higher efficacy of lamps operated with higher frequency current which rises by almost 10% at 10 kilohertz compared to efficacy at normal power frequency in the AC period is shorter than the relaxation time to the ionized mercury atoms in the discharge column the discharge stays closer to optimum operating condition electronic ballasts are commonly supplied with AC power which is internally converted to DC and then back to a variable frequency AC waveform depending upon the capacitance in the quality of constant current pulse width modulation this can largely eliminate modulation at 100 or 120 Hertz low-cost ballasts mostly contain only a simple oscillator in series resonant LC circuit then turned on the oscillator start and resonant current excites the LC circuit this resonant current directly drives a switching transistor through a ring core transformer this principle is called the current resident inverter circuit after a short time the voltage across the lamp reaches about 1 kilo volt in the lamp ignites the process is too fast to preheat the cathodes so the lamp instance starts in cold cathode mode the cathode filaments are still used for protection of the ballasts from overheating if the lamp does not ignite a few manufacturers use positive temperature coefficient PTC thermistors to disable instant starting and give some time to preheat the filaments more complex electronic ballasts use program start the output frequency is started above the resonance frequency of the output circuit of the ballast and after the filaments are heated the frequency is rapidly decreased if the frequency approaches the resonant frequency of the ballast the output voltage will increase so much that the lamp will ignite if the lamp does not ignite an electronic circuit stops the operation of the ballast many electronic ballasts are controlled by a microcontroller or similar and these are sometimes called digital ballasts digital ballasts can apply quite complex logic to lamp styling in operation this enables functions such as testing for broken electrodes and missing tubes before attempting to start auto detect tube replacement and auto detection of tube type such that a single ballast can be used with several different tubes even those that operate at different art currents etc wants such fine grained control over the starting and our current is achievable features such as dimming and having the ballast maintain a constant light level against changing sunlight contribution are all easily included in the embedded microcontroller software and can be found in various manufacturers products since introduction in the 1990s high-frequency ballasts have been used in general lighting fixtures with either rapid start or preheat lamps these ballasts convert the incoming power to an output frequency in excess of 20 kilohertz this increases lamp efficiency these are used in several applications including new generation tanning lamp systems whereby a 100 watt lamp eg f71 t12 BP can be lit using 90 watts of actual power while obtaining the same luminous flux measured in lumens as magnetic ballasts these ballasts operate with voltages that can be almost 600 volts requiring some consideration in housing design and can cause a minor limitation in the length of the wire leads from the ballasts to the lamp ends topic end of life the end of life failure mode for fluorescent lamps varies depending on how they're used in their control gear type often the light will turn pink see loss of mercury with black burns on the ends of the lamp due to sputtering of emission mix see below the lamp may also flicker at a noticeable rate see flicker problems topic emission mix the emission mix on the lamp filaments cathodes is required to enable electrons to pass into the gas via thermionic emission that the lamp operating voltage is used the mix is slowly sputtered off by bombardment with electrons and mercury ions during operation but larger amount is sputtered off each time the lamp is started with cold cathodes the method of starting the lamp has a significant impact on this lamps operated for typically less than three hours each switch on will normally run out of the emission mix before other parts of the lamp fail the sputtered emission mix forms the dark marks at the lamp and seen in old lamps when all the emission mix is gone the cathode cannot pass sufficient electrons into the gas field to maintain the gas discharge at the designed lamp operating voltage ideally the control gear should shut down the lamp when this happens however some control gear will provide sufficient increased voltage to continue operating the lamp in cold cathode mode which will cause overheating of the lamp end and rapid disintegration of the electrodes filament goes open circuit and filament support wires until they are completely gone or the glass cracks destroying the low-pressure gas fill and stopping the gas discharge topic ballast electronics this may occur in compact fluorescent lamps with integral electrical ballasts or in linear lamps ballast electronics failure is a somewhat random process that follows the standard failure profile for any electronic device there is an initial small peak of early failures followed by a drop in steady increase over lamp life life of electronics is heavily dependent on operating temperature it typically halves for each 10 degrees Celsius temperature rise the quoted average life of a lamp is usually at 25 degrees Celsius 77 degrees Fahrenheit ambient this may vary by country the average life of the electronics at this temperature is normally greater than this so at this temperature not many lamps will fail because the electronics fail in some fittings the ambient temperature could be well above this in which case failure of the electronics may become the predominant failure mechanism similarly running a compact fluorescent lamp base up will result in hotter electronics which can cause shorter average life particularly with higher power rated ones electronic ballasts should be designed to shut down the tube when the emission mix runs out as described above in the case of integral electronic ballasts since they never have to work again this is sometimes done by having them deliberately burn out some component to permanently cease operation in most CFLs the filaments are connected in series with a small capacitor between them the discharge once lit is in parallel to the capacitor and presents a lower resistance path effectively shorting the capacitor out topic phosphor the phosphor drops off in efficiency during use by around 25,000 operating hours it will typically be half the brightness of a new lamp although some manufacturers claim much longer half-lives for their lamps lamps that do not suffer failures of the emission mix or integral ballast electronics will eventually develop this failure mode they still work but have become dim and inefficient the process is slow and often becomes obvious only when a new lamp is operating next to an old one topic loss of mercury as in all mercury based gas-filled tubes mercury is slowly adsorbed onto the glass phosphor and tube electrodes throughout the life of the lamp until it can no longer function loss of mercury will take over from failure of the phosphor in some lamps the failure symptoms are similar except loss of mercury initially causes an extended run up time to full light output and finally causes the lamp to glow a dim pink when the mercury runs out in the Argan base gas takes over as the primary discharge subjecting the tube to asymmetric waveforms where the total current flow through the tube does not cancel out and the tube effectively operates under a DC bias causes asymmetric distribution of mercury ions along the tube due to California vapor pressure manifests as pink luminescence of the base gas in the vicinity of one of the electrodes and the operating lifetime of the lamp may be dramatically shortened this can be an issue with some poorly designed inverters topic burned out filaments the filaments can burn out fail at the end of the lamps lifetime opening the circuit and losing the capability to heat up both filaments lose function as they are connected in series with just a simple switch start circuit a broken filament will render the lamp completely useless filaments rarely burn out or fail open circuit unless the filament becomes depleted of emitter and the control gear is able to supply a high enough voltage across the tube to operate it in cold cathode mode some digital electronic ballasts are capable of detecting broken filaments and can still strike an arc with one or both filaments broken providing there is still sufficient emitter a broken filament in a lamp attached to a magnetic ballast often causes both lamps to burn out or flicker topic phosphors in the spectrum of emitted light the spectrum of light emitted from a fluorescent lamp is the combination of light directly emitted by the mercury vapor and light emitted by the phosphorescent coating the spectral lines from the mercury emission and the phosphorescence effect give a combined spectral distribution of light that is different from those produced by incandescent sources the relative intensity of light emitted in each narrow band of wavelengths over the visible spectrum is in different proportions compared to that of an incandescent source colored objects are perceived differently on the light sources with differing spectral distributions for example some people find the color rendition produced by some fluorescent lamps to be harsh and displeasing a healthy person can sometimes appear to have an unhealthy skin tone under fluorescent lighting the extent to which this phenomenon occurs is related to the light spectral composition and may be gauged by its color rendering index Cree topic color temperature correlated color temperature circuit is a measure of the shade of whiteness of a light source compared with a blackbody typical incandescent lighting is 2700 K which is yellowish white halogen lighting is 3000 K fluorescent lamps are manufactured to a chosen circuit by altering the mixture of phosphors inside the tube warm white fluorescents have circuit of 2700 K in a popular for residential lighting neutral white fluorescents have a circuit of 3000 K or 3500 K cool white fluorescents have a circuit of 4100 K and a popular for office lighting day light fluorescents have a circuit of 5000 K to 6500 K which is bluish white high circuit lighting generally requires higher light levels at dimmer illumination levels the human eye perceives lower color temperatures is more pleasant as related through the crew Thoth curve so a dim 2700 K incandescent lamp appears comfortable and a bright 5,000 K lamp also appears natural but a dim 5,000 K fluorescent lamp appears too pale daylight type fluorescents look natural only if they are very bright topic color rendering index color rendering index Cree is a measure of how well colors can be perceived using light from a source relative to light from a reference source such as daylight or a blackbody of the same color temperature by definition an incandescent lamp has a Cree of 100 real-life fluorescent tubes achieved Chris of anywhere from 50 to 98 fluorescent lamps with low Cree have phosphors that emit too little red light skin appears less pink and hence unhealthy compared with incandescent lighting colored objects appear muted for example a low Cree 6800 K hollow phosphate tube an extreme example will make reds appear dull red or even brown since the eye is relatively less efficient at detecting red light and improvement in color rendering index with increased energy in the red part of the spectrum may reduce the overall luminous efficacy lighting Arrangements use fluorescent tubes in an assortment of tints of white mixing tube types within fittings can improve the color reproduction of lower quality tubes topic force for composition some of the least pleasant light comes from tubes containing the older hello phosphate type phosphors chemical formula calcium phosphate f co s b3 + minnesota 2 plus this phosphor mainly emits yellow and blue light and relatively little green and red in the absence of a reference this mixture appears white to the eye but the light has an incomplete spectrum the color rendering index Cree of such lamps is around 60 since the 1990s higher quality fluorescent lamps use either a higher Cree hollow phosphate coating or a tri phosphor mixture based on europium and terbium ions which have emission bands more evenly distributed over the spectrum of visible light high Cree hollow phosphate and tri phosphor tubes give a more natural color reproduction to the human eye the Cree of such lamps is typically 82 to 100 topic applications fluorescent lamps come in many shapes and sizes the compact fluorescent lamp CFL is becoming more popular many compact fluorescent lamps integrate the auxiliary electronics into the base of the lamp allowing him to fit into a regular light bulb socket in u.s. residences fluorescent lamps are mostly found in kitchens basements or garages but schools and businesses find the cost savings of fluorescent lamps to be significant and rarely use incandescent lights tax incentives and building codes result in higher use in places such as California in other countries residential use of fluorescent lighting varies depending on the price of energy financial and environmental concerns of the local population and acceptability of the light output in East and Southeast Asia it is very rare to see incandescent bulbs in buildings anywhere some countries are encouraging the phase-out of incandescent light bulbs and substitution of incandescent lamps with fluorescent lamps or other types of energy efficient lamps in addition to general lighting special fluorescent lights are often used in stage lighting for film and video production they are cooler than traditional halogen light sources and use high-frequency ballasts to prevent video flickering and high color rendition index lamps to approximate daylight color temperatures topic advantages topic luminous efficacy fluorescent lamps convert more of the input power to visible light than incandescent lamps though as of 2013 LEDs are sometimes even more efficient in a more rapidly increasing in efficiency a typical 100 watt tungsten filament incandescent lamp may convert only 5% of its power input to visible white light 400 to 700 nanometers wavelength whereas typical fluorescent lamps convert about 22% of the power input to visible white light the efficacy of fluorescent tubes ranges from about 16 lumens per watt for a 4 watt tube with an ordinary ballast to over 100 lumens per watt with a modern electronic ballast commonly averaging 50 to 67 lumens W overall most compact fluorescents above 13 watts with integral electronic ballasts achieve about 60 lumens W lamps are rated by lumens after 100 hours of operation for a given fluorescent tube a high-frequency electronic ballast gives about a 10 percent efficacy improvement over an inductive ballast it is necessary to include the ballast loss when evaluating the efficacy of a fluorescent lamp system this can be about 25 percent of the lamp power with magnetic ballasts and around 10 percent with electronic ballasts fluorescent lamp efficacy is dependent on lamp temperature at the coldest part of the lamp in t8 lamps this is in the center of the tube in t5 lamps this is at the end of the tube with the text stamped on it the ideal temperature for a t8 lamp is 25 degrees Celsius 77 degrees Fahrenheit while the t5 lamp is ideally at 35 degrees Celsius 95 degrees Fahrenheit topic life typically a fluorescent lamp will last ten to twenty times as long as an equivalent incandescent lamp when operated several hours at a time under standard test conditions general lighting lamps have nine thousand hours or longer service life the higher initial cost of a fluorescent lamp compared with an incandescent lamp is usually more than compensated for by lower energy consumption over its life a few manufacturers of producing t8 lamps with 90,000 our lamp lives rivaling the life of LED lamps topic low illuminance compared with an incandescent lamp a fluorescent tube is a more diffuse and physically larger light source in suitably designed lamps light can be more evenly distributed without point source of glare such as seen from an under fused incandescent filament the lamp is live compared to the typical distance between lamp and illuminated surfaces topic lower heat fluorescent lamps give off about one-fifth the heat of equivalent incandescent lamps this greatly reduces the size cost and energy consumption devoted to air conditioning for office buildings that would typically have many lights and few windows topic disadvantages topic frequence witching if the lamp is installed where it is frequently switched on and off it will age rapidly under extreme conditions its lifespan may be much shorter than achieved incandescent lamp each start cycle slightly erodes the electron emitting surface of the cathodes when all the emission material is gone the lamp cannot start with the available ballast voltage fixtures intended for flashing of lights such as for advertising will use a ballast that maintains cathode temperature when the arc is off preserving the life of the lamp the extra energy used to start a fluorescent lamp is equivalent to a few seconds of normal operation it is more energy efficient to switch off lamps when not required for several minutes topic health and safety issues if a fluorescent lamp is broken a very small amount of mercury can contaminate the surrounding environment about 99 percent of the mercury is typically contained in the phosphor especially on lamps that are near the end of their life the broken glass is usually considered a greater hazard than the small amount of spilled mercury the EPA recommends airing out the location of a fluorescent tube break-in using wet paper towels to help pick up the broken glass and fine particles any glass and use towels should be disposed of in a sealed plastic bag vacuum cleaners can cause the particles to become airborne and should not be used fluorescent lamps with magnetic ballasts flicker at a normally unnoticeable frequency of 100 or 120 Hertz and this flickering can cause problems for some individuals with light sensitivity they are listed as problematic for some individuals with autism epilepsy lupus chronic fatigue syndrome lyme disease and vertigo newer fluorescent lights without magnetic ballasts have essentially eliminated flicker topic ultraviolet emission fluorescent lamps are made a small amount of ultraviolet UV light a 1993 study in the u.s. found that ultraviolet exposure from sitting under fluorescent lights for eight hours is equivalent to one minute of sun exposure ultraviolet radiation from compact fluorescent lamps may exacerbate symptoms in photosensitive individuals the ultraviolet light from a fluorescent lamp can degrade the pigments in paintings especially watercolor pigments and bleach the dyes used in textiles in some printing valuable artwork must be protected from ultraviolet light by placing additional glass or transparent acrylic sheets between the lamp and the artwork topic ballast fluorescent lamps require a ballast to stabilize the current through the lamp and to provide the initial striking voltage required to start the arc discharge this increases the cost of fluorescent light fixtures though often one ballast is shared between two or more lamps electromagnetic ballasts with a minor fault can produce an audible humming or buzzing noise magnetic ballasts are usually filled with a tar-like potting compound to reduce emitted noise hum is illuminated in lamps with a high-frequency electronic ballast energy lost in magnetic ballasts was around 10% of lamp input power according to GE literature from 1978 electronic ballasts reduce this loss topic power quality and radio interference simple inductive fluorescent lamp ballasts have a power factor of less than unity inductive ballasts include power factor correction capacitors simple electronic ballasts may also have low power factor due to their rectifier input stage fluorescent lamps are a nonlinear load and generate harmonic currents in the electrical power supply the arc within the lamp may generate radio frequency noise which can be conducted through power wiring suppression of radio interference is possible very good suppression is possible but adds to the cost of the fluorescent fixtures fluorescent lamps near end-of-life can put it at RF and present a serious interference risk as the frequency can vary depending on lamp temperature this is due in part to the tube being a negative differential resistance NDR and current flow through the plasma forming a tuned circuit whose frequency depends on path length tubes in this failure mode may also flicker with bands running back and forth along the glass topic operating temperature fluorescent lamps operate best around room temperature at much lower or higher temperatures efficacy decreases at below freezing temperatures standard lamps may not start special lamps may be needed for reliable service outdoors in cold weather in applications such as Road and railway signalling fluorescent lamps which do not generate as much heat as incandescent lamps may not melt snow and ice buildup around the lamp leading to reduced visibility topic lamp shape fluorescent tubes along low luminance sources compared with high-pressure arc lamps incandescent lamps in LEDs however low luminous intensity of the emitting surface is useful because it reduces glare lamp fixture design must control light from a long tube instead of a compact globe the compact fluorescent lamp CFL replaces regular incandescent bulbs however some CFLs will not fit some lamps because the harp heavy wire shade support bracket is shaped for the narrow neck of an incandescent lamp while CFLs tend to have a wide housing for their electronic ballasts close to the lamp base topic Flicker problems fluorescent lamps using a magnetic power line frequency ballasts do not give out a steady light instead they flicker at twice the supply frequency this results in fluctuations not only with light output but color temperature as well which may pose problems for photography and people who are sensitive to the flicker even among persons not sensitive to light flicker a stroboscopic effect can be noticed where something spinning at just the right speed may appear stationary if illuminated solely by a single fluorescent lamp this effect is eliminated by paired lamps operating on a lead lag ballast unlike a true strobe lamp the light level drops in appreciable time and so substantial blurring but the moving part would be evident in some circumstances fluorescent lamps operated at the power supply frequency 50 or 60 Hertz can also produce flicker at the same frequency itself which is noticeable by more people this can happen in the last few hours of tube life when the cathode emission coating at one end has almost run out or a filament is open circuit and that cathode starts having difficulty emitting enough electrons into the gas field resulting in slight rectification and hence uneven light output in positive and negative going AC cycles power frequency flicker can also sometimes be emitted from the very ends of the tubes if each tube electrode produces a slightly different light output pattern on each half cycle flicker at power frequency is more noticeable in the peripheral vision than it is when viewed directly as is all flicker since the peripheral vision is faster has a higher critical frequency than the central vision near the end of life fluorescent lamps can start flickering at a frequency lower than the power frequency this is due to a dynamic instability inherent in the negative resistance of the plasma source which can be from a bad lamp a bad ballast or a bad starter or occasionally from a poor connection to power new fluorescent lamps may show a twisting spiral pattern of light in a part of the lamp this effect is due to loose cathode material and usually disappears after a few hours of operation electromagnetic ballasts may also cause problems for video recording as there can be a so-called bead effect between the periodic reading of a camera's sensor and the fluctuations in intensity of the fluorescent lamp fluorescent lamps using high-frequency electronic ballasts do not produce visible light flicker since above about 5km Hertz the excited electron state half-life is longer than a half cycle and light production becomes continuous operating frequencies of electronic ballasts are selected to avoid interference with infrared remote controls poor quality or failing electronic ballasts may have insufficient reservoir capacitance or have poor regulation thereby producing considerable 100 and 100 twentieths of a Hertz modulation of the light topic dimming fluorescent light fixtures cannot be connected to dimmer switches intended for incandescent lamps two effects are responsible for this the wave form of the voltage emitted by a standard phase control dimmer interacts badly with many ballasts and it becomes difficult to sustain an arc in the fluorescent tube at low power levels dimming installations require a compatible dimming ballast these systems keep the cathodes of the fluorescent tube fully heated even as the arc current is reduced promoting easy thermionic emission of electrons into the arc stream CFLs are available that work in conjunction with a suitable dimmer topic disposal and recycling the disposal of phosphor and particularly the toxic mercury in the tubes is an environmental issue governmental regulations in many areas require special disposal of fluorescent lamps separate from general and household wastes for large commercial or industrial users of fluorescent lights recycling services are available in many nations and may be required by regulation in some areas recycling is also available to consumers topic lamps sizes and designations systematic nomenclature identifies mass-market lamps as to general shape power rating length color and other electrical and illuminating characteristics topic other fluorescent lamps topic black light black lights are a subset of fluorescent lamps that are used to provide near ultraviolet light at about 360 nanometers wavelength they are built in the same fashion as conventional fluorescent lamps but the glass tube is coated with a phosphor that converts the shortwave UV within the tube to long-wave UV rather than to visible light they are used to provoke fluorescence to provide dramatic effects using black light paint and to detect materials such as urine and certain dyes that would be invisible in visible light as well as to attract insects to bug zappers so-called black light blue lamps are also made from more expensive deep purple glass known as woods glass rather than clear glass the deep purple glass filters out most of the visible colors of light directly emitted by the mercury vapour discharge producing proportionately less visible light compared with UV light this allows UV induced fluorescence to be seen more easily thereby allowing blacklight posters to seem much more dramatic the blacklight lamps used in bug zappers do not require this refinement so it is usually emitted in the interest of cost they are called simply black light and not black light blue topic tanning lamp the lamps used in tanning beds contain a different phosphor blend typically three to five or more phosphorus that emits both UVA and UVB provoking a tanning response in most human skin typically the output is rated as three to ten percent UVB five percent most typical with the remaining UV as UVA these are mainly f71 f72 or f73 her 100 w lamps although 160 w vho are somewhat common one common phosphor used in these lamps is lead activated barium two silicate but a europium activated strontium flerbert' 8 is also used early lamps used thallium as an activator but emissions of thallium during manufacture were toxic topic UVB medical lamps the lamps used in photo therapy contain a phosphor that emits only UVB ultraviolet light there are two types broadband UVB that gives 290 to 320 nanometer with peak wavelength of 306 nanometers and narrowband UVB that gives 311 to 313 nanometer because of the longer wavelength the narrowband UVB bulbs do not cause a reformer in the skin like the broadband they requires a 10 to 20 times higher dose to the skin and they require more bulbs and longer exposure time the narrowband is good for psoriasis eczema atopic dermatitis vitiligo lichen planus and some other skin diseases the broadband is better for increasing vitamin d3 in the body topic grow lamp grow lamps contain phosphor blends that encourage photosynthesis growth or flowering in plants algae photosynthetic bacteria and other light dependent organisms these often emit light primarily in the red and blue color range which is absorbed by chlorophyll and used for photosynthesis in plants topic infrared lamps lamps can be made with a lithium metal Oommen a phosphor activated with iron this phosphor has peak emissions between 675 and 875 nanometers with lesser emissions in the deep red part of the visible spectrum topic Lilla Reuben lamps deep blue light generated from a europium activated phosphor is used in the light therapy treatment of jaundice light of this color penetrate skin and helps in the break up of excess Lila Reuben topic germicidal lamp similar structure but not fluorescent germicidal lamps depend on the property that spectrum of 254 nanometers kills most germs germicidal lamps contain no phosphor at all making the mercury vapor gas discharge lamps rather than fluorescent and their tubes are made of fused quartz that is transparent to the UVC light emitted by the mercury discharge the 254 nanometers UV emitted by these tubes will kill germs and ionize oxygen to ozone in addition it can cause eye and skin damage and should not be used or observed without iron skin protection besides their users to kill germs and create ozone they are sometimes used by geologists to identify certain species of minerals by the color of their fluorescence when used in this fashion they are fitted with filters in the same way as black light blue lamps are the filter passes the shortwave UV and blocks the visible light produced by the mercury discharge they are also used in some EPROM erasers germicidal lamps have designations beginning with G meaning germicidal rather than F for example g3 ot8 for a 30 watt 1 inch 2.5 centimeters diameter 36 inch 91 centimeters long germicidal lamp as opposed to an f3 OT 8 which would be the fluorescent lamp of the same size and rating topic electrodeless lamp electrodeless induction lamps are fluorescent lamps without internal electrodes they have been commercially available since 1990 a current is induced into the gas column using electromagnetic induction because the electrodes are usually the life limiting element of fluorescent lamps such electroless lamps can have a very long service life although they also have a higher purchase price topic cold cathode fluorescent lamp cold cathode fluorescent lamps were used as backlighting for LCDs in computer monitors and televisions before the use of LED backlit LCD s they are also popular with computer case models in recent years topic science demonstrations fluorescent lamps can be illuminated by means other than a proper electrical connection these other methods however result in very dim or very short-lived illumination and so has seen mostly in science demonstrations static electricity or a Van de Graaff generator will cause a lamp to flash momentarily as it discharges a high voltage capacitance a Tesla coil will pass high frequency current through the tube and since it has a high voltage as well the gases within the tube will ionize and emit light this also works with plasma Globes capacitive coupling with high-voltage power lines can light a lamp continuously at low intensity depending on the intensity of the electrostatic field as shown in the image on the right topic

vncvywpE-yU | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vncvywpE-yU | Accuracy Clarity Conciseness & Coherence | Business & Technical English Writing | ENG201_Lecture07 | lecture seven assalamualaikum welcome to the virtual University's course on business and Technical communication in the previous lesson we looked at defining objectives and appropriateness in business and Technical communication today we will talk about accuracy Clarity conciseness and coherence when writing for technical Communication in this lecture we will talk about the characteristics of effective technical communication and also learn to recognize and cultivate the qualities of effective technical communication good technical communication is accurate clear concise coherent and appropriate we've talked of appropriateness let's now look at the other qualities in the pros of science and technology these qualities are sometimes difficult to achieve and not only do science and technology depend heavily on Specialized Concepts and terminologies they also make use of numbers and graphics and that's why it sometimes becomes difficult for uh science scientific and technical writing to be concise and clear to a lot of people let's consider an example of technical writing where a lot of scientific techno terminology has been used the flow of electrical current can induce the migration of impurities or other defects through the bulk of a solid this process is called electromagration in simple electromigration the force on the defect is thought to have two components the first component is the force created by direct interaction between the effective charge of the defect and the electric field that drives the current the second component called the wind force is the force caused by the scattering of electrons at the defect now this is a text taken from a scientific journal and it's accurate in two ways it is stylistically accurate in its precise use of language and it's technically accurate in its use of specialized terms such as electromigration charge electric field and scattering whose meanings are based on the context of a technical discipline now both kinds of accuracy accuracy of phrasing and accuracy of technical concept ah very important in Technical and scientific and professional writing uh this example that we talked we just looked at is also clear because it is written in simple direct sentences even though it is heavily technical the terminology is very technical it's clear because the sentences are direct and they're simple although the technical context is specialized the word order also is simple it's restrained the structure is easy to understand so despite the technical Realm of the topic it's easy to understand foreign part of this Clarity is achieved by the rhetorical device of defining a term Electro migration a other Clarity is the example is concise in its use of a minimum number of words to express the basic idea of electromagration and also it's not wordy it does not digress from The Point again um the example is also coherent because it's it develops the subject matter in an easy to follow manner there is a clear line of thinking these sentences are linked together by words like this process the first component the second component is the first the second this process line of thinking uh finally the example is also appropriate to its purpose because it's presenting a description of the process of electromigration so the way it's written is appropriate because it's obviously meant for a scientific audience uh it's the read the writer knows that the audience are educated readers of Science and they may not be experts in the field of nanotechnology is um now what is accuracy and why is it important you it's important that you cultivate accuracy in your writing and it's the careful conforming of Truth or facts and it has it has three main aspects there's document accuracy there's stylistic accuracy and there's technical accuracy accuracies document accuracy stylistic accuracy technical accuracy foreign often an accurate document needs to focus clearly on a problem document accuracy is generally cultivated by a clear problem statement and by preliminary outline problems these writing tools help you focus your writing efforts by reducing your data in a way that solves a theoretical or practical problem so because these are basically tools that you have if you have a problem statement or if you have a preliminary outline these are tools that will help you as a writer identify your goals better that will help you as a writer make sure that your document is accurate and they also serve as a kind of a check for you so that you do not digress from your point up apps now what is stylistic accuracy and why is this important uh stylistic accuracy concerns the careful use of language to express meaning accurate language requires the careful use of paragraph and sentence structure and word choice to describe and analyze your topics effectively whatever paragraph structure word choice uh sentence structure you're using will affect how effectively you express what you want to say uh so that then is stylistic accuracy is as a writer you gain command of accuracy by studying the elements of style and by learning to apply these elements to your drafting revising editing and proofreading foreign now what is technical accuracy we've looked at document accuracy and stylist accuracy what is technical accuracy and why is that important in a document technical accuracy requires stylistic accuracy but is not based solely on it technical accuracy Stylistics they are two different things stylistic accuracy can be a part of technical accuracy but not the whole part the effective document in science and technology must be grounded in a technically accurate understanding and representation of the subject scientific technological explanations technical accuracy depends on the writer's conceptual Mastery of the subject and its vocabulary as well as on his or her ability to analyze and shape data with a minimum of distortion now obviously if you as a writer do not have are not a master at the concepts that you are presenting if you do not know the concepts that you're presenting then your document will not be technically accurate so is and this is why in science and technology there is so much emphasis given on a mastering this technical aspect of subject development is now what about Clarity why is Clarity important in technical writing Clarity which refers to the ease of understanding is a special problem in Technical and professional writing because a lot of the times people find it very difficult to be clear in what they're saying and they either use too many words or they use very long sentences or the information has not been presented properly and therefore it leads to misunderstanding specialized languages mathematically described detailed analysis and complex conceptual schemes can make technical subjects hard to grasp even when prepared by skill writers and read by expert readers because in technical writing there is so much so much that is difficult to explain and there is so much emphasis on the right language and presenting the concepts in a particular manner if if you vary from those it becomes difficult for you as a writer to explain the concepts and for the reader to understand as well because of the complexity of what you might be explaining and you can increase the clarity of your material by either using uh structural Clarity or stylistic Clarity and or contextual Clarity generally you would be striving for all of these structural stylistic as well as contextual Clarity to make your document more clear let's have a look at what these are what is structural Clarity and why is it important at the level of the whole document you can promote structural Clarity making it easy for the reader to get the large picture so this is from the large part of the document we're looking at the whole document and seeing how we can use structural Clarity to make the general image of the whole document more easily accessible to the reader uh you should use abstracts and other forecasting strategies such as introductions that state the purpose and scope of the document or table of contents Etc and because these add to the structural Clarity of the document basically structural Clarity documents now how can you promote as I said table of contents problem statements even strategic repetition promotes structural Clarity is if they are effectively designed and effectively Place uh help focus and they also clarify information they help the reader in focusing on particular information they also help you as a writer in emphasizing particular information the geography I see information I just got emphasize descriptive titles and frequent subject headings guide readers and they help them in keeping the larger picture in Focus titles headings now what about stylistic Clarity why is that important stylistic Clarity is promoted by simple direct language uh and this Simplicity in language is obtained uh with directly worded sentences the word the sentences should be in direct speech they should be addressed directly to the reader and this Simplicity then promotes stylistic Clarity the sentences should be simple and they should not be overloaded with information or words so that Clarity can be increased word choice is also a factor in fact a very important factor in statistic clarity you should use Simple language wherever possible and try to reduce abstract highly specialized terms of science and technology especially if you feel that the audience is not going to understand it if you feel that the audience is expert and they can understand the scientific and Technical language then use simple words to counteract to balance out the scientific and Technical language so having talked about structural Clarity and stylistic Clarity let's have a look at contextual Clarity and what we mean by that ah contextual Clarity in which the importance authorization and implications of your work are made available also contribute to ease of understanding all work has a context and your readers want to understand what the context of your document is um uh things which contribute to contextual Clarity are questions like what is prompting you to write which basically means why are you writing uh what is your purpose what do you uh hope to achieve through this writing whose work has preceded uh your writing and it whose work has influenced you any was there any work done on this topic or this area before you which has influenced you that is important because then you will need to refer to that or maybe you will assume that your readers know of that work what is the organizational and intellectual context of your problem uh that you're writing about now you can achieve contextual Clarity by answering all these questions in your introductions problem statements and in your citations and references Etc you don't have to allude to them directly all the time but you need to be clear about them and you need to make sure that they are somehow that your introductions and citations Etc are somehow answering all these questions you provide answers to these questions in introductions uh problem statements citations and other references but this doesn't mean that you need to write about them or you need to answer them directly all the time a lot of the times you will just allude to them or you will just refer to them but you need to be clear yourself what you're referring to so so that your purpose uh What is prompting you to write any work that has influenced you and the context of your problem is clear to the reader as well what about conciseness why do we consider that important when we're talking writing technical documents why is it important to learn the strategies of conciseness why does conciseness have such a special value technical fails writers are often tempted to include everything that could be relevant to the subject or everything that they know uh in the document rather than merely including things that are relevant to the communication task at hand so a lot of the times as writers we are tempted that whatever we know we should show our knowledge and we try to include that we forget that whatever we might know is not necessarily important for the communication task right now foreign so therefore the concise document is a piece of writing that should convey only the material that is needed at that particular point at the level of the whole document conciseness is helped most by Focus the narrowing of document scope to a manageable problem and response if you as a writer can find the focus of your problem what it says about your particular topic that you want to write about what is the problem that you want to Target and and narrow the problem in its scope not talk about the problem in such a large context or large detail that it cannot be managed in one document you need to narrow it down to a particular Focus that will help your document in being concise preparing a clear introduction and developing a detailed outline are two strategies that give you control over document length and scope so if you've got a clear outline Point by Point outline objectives uh you also need to identify and eliminate material that is not necessary to support your claims documents additional information also you need to look for sections including appendices which are not essential to your works foreign Graphics are a powerful Aid to conciseness because they cut down on words they cut down on the amount of prose that is necessary to describe objects to develop your arguments to uh to describe processes they also help in summarizing data and in demonstrating relationships so a lot of the time if you want your document to be concise then using graphs tables figures are it's a very good Aid they are very good tools so you can use them to make your document concise and rely Less on Pros but obviously you cannot use graphs for to explain all kind of material so you have to be selective in where you're using graphs and where you're using pros and also you need to be careful that the graphics that you're using are actually suitable for the information that you are projecting how would you make your document more concise we've talked about graphs conciseness could so uh require careful revising you would once you've written your document you need to revise it you need to go over it once again and you need to then see what changes need to be made maybe there's as we talked about Graphics maybe there's text that needs to be replaced for graphs you might not have thought of it in the first instance you need to become familiar with the strategies for reducing wordiness look for ways of cutting useless words sentences sections from the document if you feel that you're using too many words to explain one thing cut that down if you feel that there are too many sections which are irrelevant or if they are sentences which are too long or irrelevant you need to cut those down coherence is another factor which is very important in writing technical documents and professional documents coherence is the quality of hanging together of your writing being together being stuck together so that it does not seem as if you are writing about different things and it does not seem choppy or it does not seem that you are taking jumps from one idea to another it's basically providing the reader an easy path to follow writers promote coherence by making their material logically and stylistically consistent foreign uh coherence is also achieved by organizing and expressing ideas in specific manner in specific patterns when we talked about earlier we talked about uh using a dividing and alternating pattern of comparison now if you want your document to be coherent then if you've chosen a dividing pattern then you will stick to a dividing pattern if you've chosen an alternative pattern then you will stick to an alternative pattern for that document foreign and also efforts to emphasize the relationships among the elements of a document strengthen its impact Joby relationships had different elements different chapters different paragraphs it also increases the reader's ability to understand your topic because it has increased the flow of uh of what you have written it increa it improves the readability of your material coherence is specially valued in technical communication and writing because of the inherent complexity of the subjects for uh writing which is written for Lay people for people who have no expert knowledge generally the topics are easy but when it is when writing is done for technical a technical audience the concepts that need to be explained are more complicated and therefore it is even more important that coherence is present in your writing that your document is and you use all the strategies we talked about to achieve this coherence so that because the text is heavy in terms of the content it has at least if you are writing it in a coherent manner then it serves as a tool for your audience to understand what you have written at the level of the whole document coherence helps to provide the larger picture in which the connections amongst the parts of a document are made clear to the audience by the writer and it also helps the readers in the sense that it gives them a road map to help them anticipate the content of your work a lot of the times in your writing you you refer forward to what you will be writing words yeah uh abstracts clear titles introductions problem statements all promote coherence by linking various parts of a piece of writing abstract clear titles the paragraph however is one of the most powerful instruments of coherence um and by organizing material into a topic sentence in a paragraph and then in supporting sentences you are pulling the paragraph material together so it's important to make sure that every paragraph has a topic sentence and those topic sentences are then supported by the supporting sentences and so that the various forms of the concept concepts are developed properly this is generally sentence sentences supporting sentences paragraph development is achieved partly through the specific strategies of exemplification analysis comparison and contrast definition enumeration and description foreign all of these furnish distinct approaches to developing developing ideas now you as a writer can decide which way of developing a paragraph you wish to use for a particular paragraphs so all paragraphs may have different patterns of development and that pattern will be determined by the content that goes in the paragraph transactional devices also operate at the paragraph level to provide links between sentences and between paragraphs so although it's important for you to be clear in your mind what pattern of organization you're using for a paragraph It's also very important that you use transitional devices so that in the sentences within your paragraph there are very definite links and also you need to use transitional devices between different paragraphs ideas in terms of paragraph development writers use enumeration in paragraphs when they want to itemize a list uh itemize or list a set of properties or topics or series of some kind enumeration is a powerful way to establish a series of observations and to emphasize each element so they could be distinct elements that you will list and that you will emphasize by enumerating them in a paragraph let's have a look at what we mean when we talk about enumerating uh in this paragraph that we're going to see now the items are enumerated in a series of itemized recommendations the if you have instructions to have your blood cholesterol measured if you've never had it done fingerprint tests at health fairs and other public places are generally fairly accurate especially if they're offered by a hospital or other reputable Health groups when you know your number follow these guidelines from the national cholesterol education program now this is an introduction within a paragraph and now comes the enumeration part if your cholesterol is under 200 200 maintain a healthy lifestyle including eating a low fat diet getting regular exercise maintaining a health body weight and not smoking and get another test within five years if your cholesterol is between 200 and 239 have a second test performed on average that results if that number falls in the same range and if you do have any form of cardiovascular disease change your diet to improve your cholesterol in addition eliminate any other risk factors you have and get tested again in about one year if your cholesterol is 240 or more your physician should order a more detailed cholesterol analysis and recommend therapy based on the results you should begin a cholesterol improving diet immediately now if you see in this example all these three points if your cholesterol is under 200 is between 200 and 239 if your cholesterol is 240 or more all these three points are listed separately and they it makes it very clear to the reader that the writer is talking about three different scenarios so instead of just talking about them generally the writer has enumerated them put them as separate points talked about them in specific detail there's a link because they're all talking about cholesterol there's a link to the way they've been written as well if you notice the language is similar the sentence patterns are similar but the scenarios are different obviously because each scenario is talking about a different cholesterol level but instructions are following the same pattern now it's not necessary that enumeration patterns are always in bullet form enumerated paragraphs could also be in a paragraph form you don't have to set them aside as bullets or numbers you could enumerate things by saying firstly secondly thirdly for example or in the first place in the second place and that is also enumeration exemplification is used to clarify your topic statement and generally exemplification would be used in as examples in the in the paragraph that you're going to see the topic sentence is supported in examples that illustrate support and clarify the main point vitamins and minerals can be added to enrich replace nutrients lost in processing or fortify add nutrients not normally present foods to improve their nutritional quality bread and cereals are usually enriched with some B vitamins and iron common examples of fortification include the addition of vitamin D to milk vitamin A to margarine vitamin C to fruit drinks calcium to orange juice and iodine to table so iodide to table salt now this if you see you can the writer has given examples the writer has clarified terminology like enrich by giving meanings of by giving in Brackets what he means he's talked about fortify given a very clear direct link to it and then gone on to examples he's exemplifying all that he he's saying by giving you concrete terms concrete examples that will relate to what he what he's trying to say and that will support his his topic statement that vitamins and minerals enrich and fortify foods to improve their nutritional quality comparison and contrast is used to develop a topic by examining its similarities or dissimilarities to another thing uh similarities or dissimilarities of processes or States Etc comparison emphasizes the similarities and contrast emphasizes the differences a paragraph may use both comparison and contrast uh let's have a look at an example where two kinds of electrical cable are compared the aim here is to convey the superiority of a type over B type for two categories of performance the heading here is coaxial versus fiber optic cable so obviously the heading is it's clear from the title that there is a some kind of a comparison or a contrast being done and then after colon it says comparative cable length performances so here obviously it's even more clear by the use of the word comparative that we are comparing uh the cable length performances for a number of critical performance characteristics fiber optic cable offers consider considerable advantage over standard coaxial cables the most obvious distinction between the two is the grade bandwidth distance capacity of fiber The High Frequency capacity of coaxial cables decreases rapidly with increased length but the bandwidth of a commercial fiber optic system will remain constant with length a commercial fiber optic system like that of rtel remains constant for a bandwidth over a distance of 4000 feet while three different sizes of coaxial cable rapidly drop in less less than half the distance now this as you can see is a paragraph where the two different types of cables have been compared to each other by looking at different aspects different elements uh of uh of the cables themselves the different elements that are present are things like the length the bandwidth Etc and these have been compared from cable a to Cable b or the coaxial cable to the fiber optic cable the use of transitional words and phrases greatly adds to the coherence of a piece of writing and writers need to use transitional words and phrases to clarify and smooth the movement from idea to idea and let's have a look at some examples a paragraph which has weak transition would be something like reducing drag in an aerospace vehicle is an important design consideration with financial and operational consequences poorly designed rocket fuselage scan triple Fuel and launch costs drag increases stress on key joints this proposed project will develop a model to reduce aerodynamic drag on the RX100 now let's have a look at the same paragraph but with better transitional devices an improved version of the same paragraph reducing drag in an aerospace vehicle is an important design consideration for example poorly designed rocket fuselage can triple Fuel and launch costs moreover drag increases stress on key joints therefore this proposed project will develop a model to reduce aerodynamic drag on the RX100 now as you see words and phrases like for example moreover and therefore have provided better links between the sentences and these are the transitional devices that have been used by the writer to make the writing more coherent so with this we come to the end of this lecture lecture seven where you learned the importance of accuracy Clarity conciseness and coherence until next time Allah Hafiz | Virtual University of Pakistan | UCAQfQqunzE8frH3ukEbgOhA | 2023-09-06 | Creative Commons Attribution

5VEbv6sbEeA | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VEbv6sbEeA | HURRICANE IRMA UPDATE & SEVERE SPACE WEATHER, | happy Sunshine boys and girls a week ago to the day the USA had a total solar eclipse and a week later we have another eclipse and that's Harvey is eclipsing Houston I don't have a whole lot of my own words to say the report from Houston is potent enough so once again I'm going to let weather Wars 101 video play in the background while I read the latest update from Houston I'd ask that you all pause right now set a conscious positive vibration and positive intent for the safety of the people in Houston so here's the update just to note all of this is just my personal opinion from experience and watching closely what it is they're trying to pull here greatly appreciated y'all within the past 8 to 10 hours it has L up quite a bit for now and the track of it is again still planning on going back down into the Gulf and sweep back across the areas it previously hit though it seems to have moved East towards my friend's region of the country hopefully if it does go that way Louisiana will just get a faster moving tropical system as this has been painfully slow here since early Friday and they're alleging that the rain and flood amounts are still going to double to over 50 in I've never heard any mainstream media mention this but it is what is happening so I looked it up it is apparently an observed weather phenomenon known as I'm going to do my best to pronounce this guys auu cams it's a u k a b a Ms auu cams I've never seen that word before uh the common name for it is the brown weather effect and it's where a tropical system moves into land and continues rotation apparently it typically happens in places like Australia in this case the system is still looking to head back into the Gulf gain strength and may actually make landfall back over as far as Louisiana by sometime later in the week if my friend reads these comments here stay safe brother it looks like you may already be getting a lot of rain now and in the next few days then again I just have zero trust in the news or where they're getting their data because it's been consistently wrong almost every update and it all comes straight down from the top the National Hurricane Center NOAA NWS they're using a quote unquote European and a quote unquote us modeling system they don't show it on the local media but if you look it up just picture a huge jumbled ball of wires over the entire region of Texas with each wire being a predicted path from a ground station in other words they truly have no idea and my friend I bet you wouldn't you won't notice much other than maybe some high winds and really heavy slow moving rain but that's just what the models are showing on average I've now changed my stance from from a quote unquote test to a full-on quote unquote false flag style man-made storm in order to and in parenthesis likely among a list of things to test and use Nationwide emergency response everyone from the Coast Guard to FEMA to quote unquote do or Department of Defense assets are going to be in the region for months or longer to the director of the National Weather system and Hurricane Center I saw the aform mentioned heavy presence of FEMA before any of this even began so that alone is suspicious I hadn't ever typically looked into these guys but they come off as like NASA in a way very incompetent it is certainly being politicized locally and all the way up to DC and that took no time at all in fact it was quickly on Trump's desk so I heard according to the head of the National Weather Service speaking at FEMA this morning in DC it was the quote unquote fastest quickest presidential disaster declaration response he's ever witnessed end quote despite all of the damage and flooding I've personally seen I'm still surprised this is still dominating National news despite the damage I still currently think at the moment that it's one of those storms like Sandy or krina where you won't quit hearing about it for months or years as I've seen the floods and hopefully I won't fall victim to it but they will take a while to go down I looked at the jamatri and numbers of it all but was inconclusive Trump will be visiting Texas on Tuesday Absolut abely laughable stage or excuse me absolutely laughable stage show in my view it reminds me of bush standing at Ground Zero on 911 raising a flag or something in the middle of the rubble it's a staged show anyhow I'll let you guys know what happens here I am watching these National agency reactions and statements just as I would NASA data overall despite the flooding at this point you could decently move about some areas the only problem is it just completely depends on where you're actually located so that was pretty much the early day update and now we're going to get the evening update well I can tell you around here it's gotten to the point where you must rely on on your own Survival and supplies 911 is essentially out for all intents and purposes over the entire city of Houston despite trying to keep it going and the rain and floods still have not let up a small number of National Guard and FEMA Etc are being dispatched but cannot reach the areas there are a small handful of helicopters Coast Guard Choppers and National Guard Apaches performing high water rescues there's no real end in sight for the heavy wind and rain as of now though they're saying maybe 48 hours but maybe until Thursday through Saturday beyond that no one knows and the news media will not admit to it just tonight I'm expected to get 18 in more rain surpassing any historical record records the limits will surpass 50 in which simply has never happened all resources are used up stores shut down either due to floods or because they're literally out of simple food and supplies the trucks couldn't make it in if they wanted to no governmental agencies can get into the area even if they wanted to most hospitals are either shut down flooded or out of food or medical supplies some evacuated I am told the power is going to go down tonight so I have the bathtubs filled or full just in case like I'm guessing he's got his well water or well pump that's electric he's already experiencing power issues it's now turning into quote unquote weeks before things can potentially return to any normal state it is in my opinion going to become very desperate as soon as the water does get go down and things will escalate quickly to say the least I've already had one runin while getting extra fuel with a drunk guy at a gas station in my opinion only there are apparently quote unquote apparently contingency plans in place that cannot be released to the public because they can't openly admit that people will die hospitals will cease to function power outages alone generators don't last forever and they will run out of supplies in general they are completely unable unable to evacuate anyone outside of single individuals via boat or Chopper some folks have been at work since late last week sleeping in shifts that is about all I can say other than this has turned into a survival situation without a doubt I honestly will be happy if we Sur survive at this point despite the fact that the entire roof of my home is now pouring rain into the attic due to wind tornado damage I've set up buckets and such but it will be a week or perhaps even months before anyone can come in to check it out anyhow I'll keep you updated as long as I can but this has turned into an eerie situation at this point just imagine folks without food or access to credit cards for even just a few days I'm hearing it may be a week or more just depending on where you are take care guys that's pretty

B3QfbvVABPQ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3QfbvVABPQ | Ornamentalism: Migrations of Japanese Knotweed Pt. 2 - sam smiley (Astrodime Transit Authority) | basically uh this research started with kudzu I did a mini documentary of about 10 minutes called the queen of kudzu and that led me to Japanese knotweed and then I started a doctorate through a program that connected me with Leiden University and then I had to put it on hold because of a lot of family stuff but as a trained as a media artist I continued to do the work in zine and video and also I did a Japanese knotweed Festival in Provincetown that Harvest Festival and I did an article about that so there's been a lot of spin-offs on this research I'm gonna super fast show you the slideshow version which I showed it shot and that's kind of reiterating that was actually a shot from the festival that stuff so you'll recognize this from the video cuz I basically used the video as a storyboard but then I discarded certain things that for a number of reasons wouldn't have fit into the narrative I was doing with the video what I wanted to accomplish with that so I mean really when you have it's a question of paring down right so this was I bore the official like conference version and then this was sort of my I went the this research set me all over the place and I ended up at Kew Gardens and that's where I found this book which is really interesting because you know this told me more about like the biology of Japanese knotweed which was one of the really the missing pieces here in the story and it was interesting because they said there's a temptation that this was a 91 this is written in almost xenophobic reaction to introduce plants such as Japanese knotweed and use terms such as extermination I mean this is from scientists right so there's a lot we can learn from scientists and so this is more or less also my video conclusion and sort of where I'm going with it and I'm not sure if I'll have another article or two spin-off from this but like my overarching interest from this and kudzu was really plants that were introduced during the World's Fairs in the United like you know the World's Fairs the one in Paris and there's one in Chicago and that's where a lot of these oriental plants these easy to grow from the Far East plants came and so I'm very interested in this idea of you know you go to a plant nursery and you plant something because it's pretty but the actual form of the plant what it does is kind of not really kind of a parent so so I've just thrown a lot of stuff at you but I I think you have the overarching narrative and I the scenes I passed out so in terms of that form those that's short for magazine and that's sort of a part of the DIY craft culture which is now assimilating to research culture to a certain extent so yeah so I could see a lot of other things but maybe you should take questions at this point because I don't even know what you want to know so any questions okay | Dominic Berry | UCPyyg1hqe6ORj0DcxlT8CZQ | 2019-09-13 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 547 | 2,837 |

southern Iraq during the Chalcolithic and early bronze ages and one of the first civilizations in the world along with ancient Egypt in the Indus Valley living along the valleys of the Tigris and

goods transported along the canals and rivers of southern Mesopotamia facilitated the rise of many large stratified temple centered cities with populations of over 10,000 people where centralized administrations employed specialized workers it is fairly certain that it was during the Uruk period that Sumerian cities began to make use of slave labor captured from the hill country and there is ample evidence for captured slaves as workers in the earliest texts artifacts and even colonies of this Uruk civilization have been found over a wide area from the Taurus Mountains in Turkey to the Mediterranean Sea in the West and as far east as central Iran the Uruk period civilization exported by Sumerian traders and colonists like that found at Tel Brak had an effect on all surrounding peoples who gradually evolved their own comparable competing economies and cultures the cities of Sumer could not maintain remote long-distance colonies by military force Sumerian cities during the Uruk period were probably theocratic and were most likely headed by a priest king NZ assisted by a council of elders including both men and women it is quite possible that the later Sumerian Pantheon was modelled upon this political structure there was little evidence of organized warfare or professional soldiers during the Uruk period and towns were generally unwalled during this period Iraq became the most urbanized city in the world surpassing for the first time 50,000 inhabitants the ancient Sumerian king list includes the early dynasties of several prominent cities from this period

Sumerian culture for their own the earliest dynastic King on the Sumerian king list whose name is known from any other legendary source as a Tana 13th king of the first dynasty of Kish the earliest King authenticated through archaeological evidence as in memorizes he of Kish see 26th century BC whose name is also mentioned in the Gilgamesh epic leading to the suggestion that Gilgamesh himself

Mesopotamia disappeared both in marker and Gilgamesh are credited with having built the walls of Uruk topic first dynasty of lagash see to 500 to to 700 BC the dynasty of lagash though omitted from the King list is well attested through several important monuments and many archaeological finds although short-lived one of the first empires known to history was that of E madam of lagash who annexed practically all of Sumer including Kish Burak her and Larsa and reduced to tribute the city-state of umma archrival of lagash in addition his realm extended to parts of Elam and along the

differentiate three stages of old Akkadian that of the priests arganda kara that of the Akkadian Empire and that of the neo Sumerian Renaissance that followed it Akkadian and Sumerian coexisted as vernacular languages for about 1000 years but by around 1800 BC Sumerian was becoming more of a literary language familiar mainly only to scholars and scribes thorkild Jacobsen has argued that there is little break in historical continuity between the pre and post Sargon periods and that too much emphasis has been placed on the perception of a semitic versus sumerian conflict however it is certain that Akkadian was also briefly imposed on neighboring parts of Elam that were previously conquered by Sargon topic guichen period c20 83 to 2050 BC short chronology topic second dynasty of

more ADIZ who were - found several competing local powers in the south including isin Larsa ash nuna and sometime later Babylonia the last of these eventually came to briefly dominate the south of Mesopotamia as the Babylonian Empire just as the oldest Syrian Empire had already done so in the north from the late 21st century BC the Sumerian language continued as a Sasser total language taught in schools in Babylonia and Assyria much as Latin was used in the medieval period for as long as cuneiform was utilized topic fallen transmission this period is generally taken to coincide with a major shift in population from southern Mesopotamia toward the north ecologically the agricultural productivity of the Sumerian lands was being compromised as a result of rising salinity soil salinity in this region had been long recognized as a major problem poorly drained irrigated soils in an arid climate with high levels of evaporation led to the build-up of dissolved salts in the soil eventually reducing agricultural yields severely during the Akkadian and earth three phases there was a shift from the cultivation of wheat to the more salt-tolerant barley but this was insufficient and during the period from 2100 BC to 1700 BC it is estimated that the population in this area declined by nearly 3/5 this greatly upset the balance of power within the region weakening the areas where Sumerian was spoken and comparatively strengthening those where Akkadian was the major language henceforth Sumerian would remain only a literary and liturgical language similar to the position occupied by Latin in medieval Europe following an eel imide invasion and sack of ur during the rule of IBB Ice in C 1940 BC Sumer came under amorites rule taken to introduce the middle Bronze Age the independent amirite states of the 20th to 18th centuries are summarized as the dynasty of isin in the sumerian king list ending with the rise of Babylonia under Hammurabi C 1700 BC later rulers who dominated Assyria and Babylonia occasionally assumed the old Sargon ik title king of Sumer and Akkad such as tickle Tina nur de I of Assyria after C 1225 BC topic population hurric one of sumers largest cities has been estimated to have had a population of 50,000 to 80,000 at its height given the other cities in Sumer and the large agricultural population a rough estimate for sumers population might be zero point eight million to 1.5 million the world population at this time has been estimated at about 27 million the Sumerians spoke a language isolate but a number of linguists have claimed to be able to detect a substrate language of unknown classification beneath Sumerian because names of some of sumers major cities are not Sumerian revealing influences of earlier inhabitants however the archaeological record shows clear uninterrupted cultural continuity from the time of the early you bide period 5 300 4 700 BC c14 settlements in southern Mesopotamia the Sumerian people who settled here farmed the lands in this region that were made fertile by silt deposited by the Tigris in the Euphrates some archaeologists have speculated that the original speakers of ancient Sumerian may have been farmers who moved down from the north of Mesopotamia after perfecting irrigation agriculture there the Ubaid period pottery of southern Mesopotamia has been conducted via Choga mami transitional ware to the pottery of the Samara period culture C 5 700 for 900 BC C 14 in the North who were the first to practice a primitive form of irrigation agriculture along the middle Tigris River and it's tributaries the connection is most clearly seen a tell away Lee ye o le nier Larsa excavated by the French in the 1980s where eight levels yielded pre you bide pottery resembling Samarin where according to this theory farming people spread down into southern Mesopotamia because they had developed a temple centred social organization for mobilizing labour and Technology for water control enabling them to survive and prosper in a difficult environment others have suggested a continuity of Sumerians from the indigenous hunter Fisher folk traditions associated with the by facial assemblages found on the Arabian littoral juris zarin's believes the Sumerians may have been the people living in the Persian Gulf region before it flooded at the end of the last ice age you topic culture you topic social and family life in the early Sumerian period the primitive pictograms suggest that pottery was very plentiful and the forms of the vases bowls and dishes were manifold there were special jars for honey butter oil and wine which was probably made from dates some of the vases had pointed feet and stood on stands with crossed legs others were flat bottomed and were set on square or rectangular frames of wood the oil jars and probably others also were sealed with clay precisely as in early Egypt vases and dishes of stone were made in imitation of those of clay a feathered headdress was worn beds stools and chairs were used with carved legs resembling those of an ox there were fireplaces and fire altars knives drills wedges and an instrument that looks like a saw were all known while Spears bows arrows and daggers but not swords were employed in war tablets were used for writing purposes daggers with metal blades and wooden handles were worn and copper was hammered into plates while necklaces or collars were made of gold time was reckoned in lunar months there is considerable evidence concerning Sumerian music liars and flutes were played among the best known examples being the liars of her inscriptions describing the reforms of King erick Agena of lagash C 2300 BC say that he abolished the former custom of polyandry in his country prescribing that a woman who took multiple husband's be stoned with rocks upon which her crime had been written Sumerian culture was male-dominated and stratified the code of ur-nammu the

to a wife damn then if she outlived her husband a widow knew ma su and she could then remarry another man who was from the same tribe marriages were usually arranged by the parents of the bride and groom engagements were usually completed through the approval of contracts recorded on clay tablets these marriages became legal as soon as the groom delivered a bridal gift to his bride's father one sumerian proverb describes the ideal happy marriage through the mouth of a husband who boasts that his wife has borne him eight sons and is still eager to have sex the Sumerians generally seemed to have discouraged premarital sex but it was probably very commonly done in secret the Sumerians as well as the later Acadians had no concept of virginity when describing a woman's sexual inexperience instead of calling her a virgin Sumerian texts describe which sex acts she had not performed the Sumerians had no knowledge of the existence of the hymen and whether or not a prospective bride had engaged in sexual intercourse was entirely determined by her own word from the earliest records the Sumerians had very relaxed attitudes toward sex and their sexual mores were determined not by whether a sexual act was deemed immoral but rather by whether or not it made a person ritually unclean the Sumerians widely believed that masturbation enhanced sexual potency both for men and for women and they frequently engaged in it both alone and with their partners the Sumerians did not regard anal sex is taboo either en tu priestesses were forbidden from producing offspring and frequently engaged in anal sex as a method of birth control prostitution existed but it is not clear if sacred prostitution did topic language and writing the most important archaeological discoveries in Sumer are a large number of clay tablets written in cuneiform script Sumerian writing is considered to be a great milestone in the development of humanity's ability to not only create historical records but also in creating pieces of literature both in the form of poetic epics and stories as well as prayers and laws although pictures that as hieroglyphs were used first Kunia form and then ideograms where symbols were made to represent ideas soon followed triangular or wedge-shaped reads were used to write on moist clay a large body of hundreds of thousands of texts in the Sumerian language have survived such as personal and business letters receipts lexical lists laws hymns prayers stories and daily records full libraries of clay tablets have been found monumental inscriptions and texts on different objects like statues or bricks are also very common many texts survived in multiple copies because they were repeatedly transcribed by scribes in training Sumerian continued to be the language of religion and law in Mesopotamia long after Semitic speakers had become dominant a prime example of cuneiform writing would be a lengthy poem that was discovered in the ruins of Uruk the epic of gilgamesh was written in the standard sumerian cuneiform it tells of a king from the early dynastic to period named Gilgamesh or bill Gamache in Sumerian the story is based around the fictional Adventures of Gilgamesh and his companion Enkidu it was laid out on several clay tablets and has claimed to be the earliest example of a fictional written piece of literature discovered so far the Sumerian language is generally regarded as a language isolate in linguistics because it belongs to no known language family Akkadian by contrast belongs to the Semitic branch of the afro-asiatic languages there have been many failed attempts to connect Sumerian to other language families it is an agglutinative language in other words morphemes units of meaning are added together to create words unlike analytic languages where morphemes are purely added together to create sentences some authors have proposed that there may be evidence of a substratum or and Stratham language for geographic features and various crafts and agricultural activities called variously proto you Fraidy n' or proto to green but this is disputed by others understanding Sumerian texts today can be problematic most difficult are the earliest texts which in many cases do not give the full grammatical structure of the language and seem to have been used as in aid memoir for knowledgeable scribes during the third millennium BC a cultural symbiosis developed between the Sumerians and the Acadians which included widespread bilingualism the influences between Sumerian and Akkadian are evident in all areas including lexical borrowing on a massive scale and syntactic morphological and phonological convergence this mutual influence has prompted scholars to refer to Sumerian and Akkadian of the 3rd millennium BC as a sprach bond Akkadian gradually replaced Sumerian as a spoken language somewhere around the turn of the 3rd and the 2nd millennium BC but Sumerian continued to be used as a sacred ceremonial literary and scientific language in Babylonia and Assyria until the 1st century AD topic religion the Sumerians credited their divinities for all matters pertaining to them and exhibited humility in the face of cosmic forces such as death and divine wrath Sumerian religion seems to have been founded upon two separate cosmogenic myths the first saw creation is the result of a series of high Roy DeMeo sacred marriages involving the reconciliation of opposites postulated as a coming together of male and female divine beings the gods this continued to influence the whole Mesopotamian mythos thus in the later Akkadian Enuma Elish the creation was seen as the union of fresh and saltwater as male Absa and female Tiamat the products of that union lawmen la mu the muddy

greenery and pasture at an early stage following the dawn of recorded history nipper in central Mesopotamia replaced era due in the south as the primary temple city whose priests exercised political hegemony on the other city-states nipper retained this status throughout the Sumerian period topic deities Sumerians believed in an anthropomorphic polytheism or the belief in many gods in human form there was no common set of gods each city state had its own patrons temples and priests kings nonetheless these were not exclusive the gods of one city were often acknowledged elsewhere Sumerian speakers were among the earliest people to record their beliefs in writing and were a major inspiration in later Mesopotamian mythology religion and astrology the Sumerians worshiped and as the full-time god equivalent to heaven indeed the word in in Sumerian means sky and his consort ki means earth Anke in the south at the temple in era due Anke was the god of beneficence and of wisdom

core Pantheon there were additionally hundreds of minor ones Sumerian gods could thus have associations with different cities and their religious importance often waxed and waned with those cities political power the gods were said to have created human beings from clay for the purpose of serving them the temples organized the mass labor projects needed for irrigation agriculture citizens had a labor duty to the temple though they could avoid it by a payment of silver you topic cosmology Sumerians believed that the universe consisted of a flat disk enclosed by a dome the sumerian afterlife involved a descent into a gloomy netherworld to spend eternity in a wretched existence as a get him ghost the universe was divided into four quarters to the north where the hill dwelling su bar two who were periodically rated for slaves timber and other raw materials to the west were the tent dwelling Marv - and some it expels living as pastoral nomads tending herds of sheep and goats to the south was the land of Dillman a trading state associated with the land of the dead and the place of creation to the east where the Elamites arrival people with whom the Sumerians were frequently at war their known world extended from the upper sea or Mediterranean coastline to the lower sea the Persian Gulf in the land of Mela probably the Indus Valley and Meghan Oman famed for its copper ores Topic temple and temple organization ziggurats sumerian temples each had an individual name and consisted of a forecourt with a central pond for purification the temple itself had a central nave with aisles along either side flanking the aisles would be rooms for the priests at one end would stand the podium and a mud brick table for animal and vegetable sacrifices granaries and storehouses were usually located near the temples after a time the Sumerians began to place the temples on top of multi-layered square constructions built as a series of rising terraces giving rise to the ziggurat style topic funerary practices it was believed that when people died they would be confined to a gloomy world of Eros evil whose realm was guarded by gateways with various monsters designed to prevent people entering or leaving the dead were buried outside the city walls in graveyards where a small mound covered the corpse along with offerings to monsters in a small amount of food those who could afford it sought burial at Dillman human sacrifice was found in the death pits at the oil cemetery where Queen puabi was accompanied in death by her servants topic agriculture and hunting the Sumerians adopted an agricultural lifestyle perhaps as early as C 5000 BC to 4500 BC the region demonstrated a number of core agricultural techniques including organized irrigation large-scale intensive cultivation of land mono cropping involving the use of plough agriculture and the use of an agricultural specialized labor force under bureaucratic control the necessity to manage Temple accounts with this organization led to the development of writing C 3500 BC in the early Sumerian Eirik period the primitive pictograms suggest that sheep goats cattle and pigs were domesticated they used oxen as their primary beasts of burden and donkeys or equites as their primary transport animal and woolen clothing as well as rugs were made from the wool or hair of the animals by the side of the house was an enclosed garden planted with trees and other plants wheat and probably other cereals were sown in the fields and the shad if was already employed for the purpose of irrigation plants were also grown in pots or vases the Sumerians were one of the first known beer drinking societies cereals were plentiful and were the key ingredient in their early brew they brewed multiple kinds of beer consisting of wheat barley and mixed grain beers beer brewing was very important to the Sumerians it was referenced in the Epic of Gilgamesh when Enkidu was introduced to the food and beer of Gilgamesh as people drink the beer as is the custom of the land he drank the beer seven jugs and became expansive and sang with joy the Sumerians practiced similar irrigation techniques as those used in Egypt American anthropologist Robert McCormick Adams says that irrigation development was associated with urbanization and that 89% of the population lived in the cities they grew barley chickpeas lentils wheat dates onions garlic lettuce leeks and mustard Sumerians cut many fish and hunted fowl and ghazal Sumerian agriculture depended heavily on irrigation the irrigation was accomplished by the use of shadow canals channels dikes Weir's and reservoirs the frequent violent floods of the Tigris and less so of the Euphrates meant that canals required frequent repair and continual removal of silt and survey markers and boundary stones needed to be continually replaced the government required individuals to work on the canals in a curvy although the rich were able to exempt themselves as is known from the Sumerian Farmers Almanac after the flood season and after the spring equinox in the ickey two or new year festival using the canals farmers would flood their fields and then drain the water next they made oxen stomp the ground and kill weeds they then dragged the fields with pickaxes after drying they plowed harrowed and raked the ground three times and pulverized it with a mattock before planting seed unfortunately the high evaporation rate resulted in a gradual increase in the salinity of the fields by the earth-three period farmers had switched from wheat to the more salt-tolerant barley as their principal crop Sumerians harvested during the spring and three-person teams consisting of a Reaper a binder and a sheaf handler the farmers would use threshing wagons driven by oxen to separate the cereal heads from the stalks and then use threshing sleds to disengage the grain they then windowed the grain chaff mixture topic architecture the tigris-euphrates plane lacked minerals and trees Sumerian structures were made of plano-convex mud-brick not fixed with mortar or cement mud brick buildings eventually deteriorate so they were periodically destroyed leveled and rebuilt on the same spot this constant rebuilding gradually raised the level of cities which thus came to be elevated above the surrounding plane the resultant Hills known as Telles are found throughout the ancient Near East according to Archibald Sayce the primitive pictograms of the early sumerian ie erich era suggest that stone was scarce but was already cut into blocks and seals brick was the ordinary building material and with its cities forts temples and houses were constructed the city was provided with towers and stood on an artificial platform the house also had a tower like appearance it was provided with a door which turned on the hinge and could be opened with a sort of key the city gate was on the larger scale and seems to have been double the foundation stones or rather bricks of a house were consecrated by certain objects that were deposited under them the most impressive and famous of Sumerian buildings are the ziggurats large layered platforms that supported temples Sumerian cylinder seals also depict houses built from reeds not unlike those built by the Marsh Arabs of southern Iraq and Tel as recently as 400 Cee the Sumerians also developed the arch which enabled them to develop a strong type of dome they built this by constructing and linking several arches Sumerian temples and palaces made use of more advanced materials and techniques such as buttresses recesses half columns and clay nails topic mathematics the Sumerians developed a complex system of metrology C 4000 BC this advanced metrology resulted in the creation of arithmetic geometry and algebra from C 2600 BC onwards the Sumerians wrote multiplication tables on clay tablets and dealt with geometrical exercises and division problems the earliest traces of the Babylonian numerals also date back to this period the period C to 700 to 300 BC saw the first appearance of the abacus and a table of successive columns which delimited the successive orders of magnitude of their sexagesimal number system the Sumerians were the first to use a place value numeral system there is also anecdotal evidence the Sumerians may have used a type of slide rule in astronomical calculations they were the first to find the area of a triangle and the volume of a cube topic economy and trade discoveries of obsidian from faraway locations in Anatolia and lapis lazuli from Badakhshan in northeastern Afghanistan beads from Dillman modern Bahrain and several seals inscribed with the Indus Valley script suggest a remarkably wide-ranging network of ancient trade centered on the Persian Gulf for example imports to her came from many parts of the world in particular the metals of all types had to be imported the epic of gilgamesh refers to trade with Far Lands for goods such as wood that were scarce in Mesopotamia in particular cedar from Lebanon was prized the finding of resin in the tomb of Queen puabi at ur indicates it was traded from as far away as Mozambique the Sumerians used slaves although they were not a major part of the economy slave women worked as Weaver's pressors Millers and porters Sumerian Potter's decorated pots with cedar oil paints the Potters used a bow drill to produce the fire needed for baking the pottery Sumerian Mason's and jewelers knew and made use of alabaster calcite ivory iron gold silver carnelian and lapis lazuli topic money and credit large institutions kept their accounts in barley and silver often with a fixed rate between them the obligations loans and prices in general were usually denominated in one of them many transactions involve debt for example Goods consigned to merchants by temple and beer advanced by ale women commercial credit and agricultural consumer loans were the main types of loans the trade credit was usually extended by temples in order to finance trade expeditions and was nominated in silver the interest rate was set at 160 at the month 1 shekel Purnima sometime before 2000 BC and it remained at that level for about 2,000 years rural loans commonly arose as a result of unpaid obligations due to an institution such as a temple in this case the arrears were considered to be lent to the debtor they were denominated in barley or other crops and the interest rate was typically much higher than for commercial loans and could amount to 1/3 to 1/2 of the loan principal periodically rulers signed clean slate decrees that canceled all the rural but not commercial debt and allowed bondservants to return to their homes customarily rulers did it at the beginning of the first full year of their reign but they could also be proclaimed at times of military conflict or crop failure the first known ones were made by n Medina and Iraq Agena of lagash in - 400 to 3500 BC according to Hudson the purpose of these decrees was to prevent debts mounting to a degree that they threatened the fighting force which could happen if peasants lost the subsistence land or became bond servants due to the inability to repay the debt topic military the almost constant wars among the Sumerian city-states for 2,000 years helped to develop the military technology and techniques of Sumer to a high level the first war recorded in any detail was between lagash and uma and c25 25 BC on a stele called the stele of the vultures it shows the king of lagash leading a Sumerian army consisting mostly of infantry the infantry carried Spears wore copper helmets and carried rectangular shields the spearmen are shown arranged in what resembles the Phalanx formation which requires training and discipline this implies that the Sumerians may have made use of professional soldiers the Sumerian military used carts harnessed to on udders these early chariots functioned less effectively in combat than did later designs and some have suggested that these chariots served primarily as transports though the crew carried battle axes and Lance's the Sumerian chariot comprised a 4 or 2 wheeled device manned by a crew of two and harnessed to four on udders the cart was composed of a woven basket and the wheels had a solid three-piece design Sumerian cities were surrounded by defensive walls the Sumerians engaged in siege warfare between their cities but the mud brick walls were able to deter some foes topic technology examples of Sumerian technology include the wheel cuneiform script arithmetic and geometry irrigation systems Sumerian boats lunisolar calendar bronze leather sauce chisels hammers braces bits nails pins rings hoes axes knives Lance points arrowheads swords glue daggers water skins bags harnesses armor Quivers war chariots scabbards boots sandals harpoons and beer the Sumerians had three main types of boats clinker built sailboats stitched together with hair featuring bitumen waterproofing skin boats constructed from animal skins and reeds wooden Ord ships sometimes pulled upstream by people and animals walking along the nearby banks topic legacy evidence of wheeled vehicles appeared in the mid 4th millennium BC near simultaneously in Mesopotamia the Northern Caucasus makeup culture and Central Europe the wheel initially took the form of the potter's wheel the new concept quickly led to wheeled vehicles and mill wheels the Sumerians cuneiform script is the oldest or second oldest after the Egyptian hieroglyphs which has been deciphered the status of even older inscriptions such as the Jiahu symbols and Tarte area tablets is controversial the Sumerians were among the first astronomers mapping the Stars in two sets of constellations many of which survived in the zodiac and were also recognized by the ancient Greeks they were also aware of the five planets that are easily visible to the naked eye they invented and developed arithmetic by using several different number systems including a mixed radix system with an alternating base 10 and base six this sexagesimal system became the standard number system in Sumer and Babylonia they may have invented military formations and introduced the basic divisions between infantry cavalry and archers they developed the first known codified legal and administrative systems complete with courts jails and government records the first true city-states arose in Sumer roughly contemporaneously with similar entities in what are now Syria and Lebanon several centuries after the invention of cuneiform the use of writing expanded beyond debt payment certificates in inventory lists to be applied for the first time about 2600 BC to messages and mail delivery history legend mathematics astronomical records and other pursuits conjointly with the spread of writing the first formal schools were established usually under the auspices of a city state's primary temple finally the Sumerians ushered in domestication with intensive agriculture and irrigation Emmer wheat barley sheep starting as mouflon and cattle starting as Oryx were foremost among the species cultivated and raised for the first time on a grand scale topic see also history of Iraq history of writing numbers ancient Mesopotamian units of measurement ancient Mesopotamian religion equals

UZTcToYdTV4 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZTcToYdTV4 | New To Quality Boots? Part 3: Entry Level Goodyear Welted Brogue Wingtips | M are you just getting into quality Heritage style stitched boots and fancy some of the brogue wing tip Styles you've seen on social media you know like this Joseph cheni Tweed boot for example or the tricker sto or maybe the American Alan Edmonds Dalton boot then you went online to check them out and found that they cost us $500 and above what why so much keep watching I'll show you a viable alternative for your first brogue wi TI [Music] boot good day welcome to BU losophy and if we haven't met yet my name is Tech I acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land that I live on the wet people this is the third part of my series called new to Quality boots uh the series is aimed at people new to Quality Heritage style stitched boots and who have only experienced the cheaper fashion Centric glue construction boots from shopping centers and other chain retail stores it's a big move if you spend two or300 Australian dollars on a pair of echo or or if you you're in America or Europe and you're used to Timberland for example for a couple of hundred US you'll be shocked to learn that quality boots can cost upwards of $300 well upwards and brogue wing tips in particular can be much more than that the difference is in the quality of construction as well as the quality of the natural materials used in these stitched boots that can be resold uh be more durable and patina or wear in such a way that they age gracefully and beautifully in this video I'm focusing on brogue wing tip Boots the most popular currently seeming to be the trickers Stow boot a prime example of the English country boot style but certainly not on its own with the American Ellen Edmunds Dalton Boot and other English Styles like the granson Fred uh and like this lovely Joseph cheni Tweed boot which you can see in my full review up there but if you did investigate the tricker Stow you'll have seen it sells for 585 Sterling this Tweed boot sells for £475 the Ellen Edmunds Dalton sells for $500 even granson reestablishing its old Heritage quality as a mid-range boot manufacturer brings out the maid in India Fred boot at around 500 so if you really like the brogue wing tip style and you want to take the first step into goodye weled boots instead of glued boots it's a big jump however there is an alternative for you to uh take that first step but we before we look at the viable alternative let's take a look at the style brog boots or boots with holes uh punched through in a regular pattern and wing tip boots boots showing the winged panels from toe to the sides of the vamp um have a strong connection with each other in history brogues are a 16th century invention of Irish or Scottish origin uh that were designed for walking through the countryside on marshy boggy land the perforations were originally functional rather than decorative they let the water out as you trudge through the bog so you didn't end up with a boot full of water that's why especially in the UK they're still classed as country boots uh and and in the category of country boots are meant to be worn in the countryside as opposed to in the city of course that 18th 19th century distinction has long gone today they can be worn with great versatility uh even with a suit because in dark colors they can be worn formally uh or they can be worn casually with slacks chinos uh wool or flannel pants and Tweeds or jeans and t-shirts depending on the upper leather wing tips on the other hand merely refer to that winged design and not all wing tips actually have holes in them but eventually wing tips and brogues came to together as full brogs and nowadays what we call wing tips are almost certainly full brogs that is they have the wing tip design and they have the brog perforations as I said a good brogue Boot made in one of the stitched construction methods like Goode welting or Stitch down or velt Shon construction can cost a Long Way north of three or $400 US the most famous examples are in the 500s uh by the way if you want to see the difference between all the ways boots are constructed you can catch this video up here so if you like the style what is an entry-level boot that you can buy and try to see if you like the style and then decide if you actually like the feel of a weled boot uh because moving up does take a bit of getting used to if you've only had the fashion Centric cemented construction style boots they tend to be heavier uh they will take a few days or more to break in and allow the Sole and stiff wel to flex as well as allow the thicker for grain Leathers to mold your movements and flex around your ankles and the top of your Vamp it makes sense to not jump right in and spend several hundred uh more than you're used to spending and this is the alternative entry-level brogue wing tip boot this is the simply named wing tip boot by Thursday boot company now this is not meant to be a deep review I've already done that and you can check it out here but what I will do in this video is tell you a bit about Thursday the construction of these boots and why they can be your first entry into brogue wing tip boots Thursday is a relatively new quality Heritage style boot company founded in 2014 when the two Founders couldn't find quality boots they wanted at an affordable price and decided that they could start a boot company to make them they started with a k start a campaign and history was made as they founded an internet-based direct consumer company making most of their boots out of uh one of the shoe making capitals in the Americas lay on in Mexico keeping infrastructure uh wages and material costs uh down and removing the middleman retailers they offer most of their boots at the US $200 Mark and this wing tip boot sells for us $235 taking a look at the construction and materials it's made using the goodya weled method of construction considered a gold standard by boot enthusiasts you can check out my video deep diving into goodye weled construction up here but basically a thin strip of leather called the welt is sewn onto the uppers uh and insole on the inside of the boot while it is also sewn through on the outside to the mid soole and sometimes outsole as in this case Thursday uses a rubber studded out soole on this boot it's modeled after the UK made and very famous day night outso and it's pretty good for grip and durability as well as low profile for being dressy inside the boot some of the cost savings when you compare these to traditional Brands start to become apparent boots like the stow and the Dalton and these two will tend to have leather midsoles and insoles and the cavity that's caused by the welt going around the edge of the boot will be filled with natural cork traditionalists will tell you that that's the real gold standard because it's all natural will last a long time as you know leather molds and doesn't break and over time your feet settle in and it feels made just for you Thursday does use a real Corp filling layer and a leather midsole in this boot uh but the insole is a foam based insole it's a little cheaper but it also means Comfort straight out of the box as a first-time wearer of Heritage star Boots the foam inside means that these feel like the soft foam based boots you're used to wearing and you don't have to struggle with as much of a Breakin as with all leather component Boots the downside is that the foam will break down over time and I'm told will then start to feel a little lumpy uh look but honestly it will take some time to do that and by then you probably need a resold so you can fix it all at the same time uh and that's the big advantage over cement construction boots where the soles are just glued on even if they're molded and fake stitched to look like these they're still cement construction and they're still glued on when the soles wear out on your cement construction boots you throw them away when these wear out you can take them to a good cobbler who can remove the stitches uh remove the worn out Sole and replace and restitch it and if the inso is troubling you at that time get it done as well and you'll have a boot that could last you decades as long as you take care of these uppers for all that these are priced at us $235 and Thursday have never raised their prices even after the pandemic I don't know how they do that to be honest uh for that reason alone that makes this a viable alternative as a firsttime entry purchase because there are no other quality uh properly stitched constructed brogue wing tip boots for that price other reasons there's a first Buy the initial Comfort out of the box the looks elegant and sleekly dressy uh the full leather lining that's comfortable and and helps to thicken up the uppers and the use of a steel shank between the heel and the ball of the foot that provides arch support as well as torsional stability this has all the attributes of a higher priced bro boot this boot is in what Thursday calls dark oak leather from the well-known lafar Tannery in leyon it's a good firm leather measuring about 2 mm thickness which is about average for lower price range quality boots it has a hand burnished finish uh so adds to the stylishness of this style caring for this leather is simple uh but put away the thought of hard waxes like tins of kiwi full grain leather needs to be fed rather than waxed over so the term is conditioning you can use any quality conditioner but my my go-to for smooth Leathers is Venetian shoe cream which conditions the leather but also has enough waxes in it to give it a reasonable shine condition it at least a couple of times a year maybe more depending on frequency of where uh and what conditions you wear them in like you know rain and snow which doesn't happen here in Australia when you do condition it get a good horsehair brush first and brush off the dirt uh dust and grime then put a light coat of venea on uh if you want a put a couple of light coats allowing it to dry between coats and then when it dries to a haze give it a really good brushing to uh polish it up and remove the excess if you want you can put a thin coat of cream polish after the conditioning like um I use a tago product which is a mid-range uh price product rather than it's more expensive safia cousin the same company I would use a neutral cream because of the hand burnished finish you don't want a dark brown cream polish to wipe out the difference in the shades that you get in the shaft and along the the toe box uh if you really want to shine you can put a smear of hard wax I use a damp sponge to pick up the wax from the tin and then dab and then smooth it over uh and then again let it Haze and brush an important aspect of boot care is to brush it regularly even if you don't condition it every time that you brush it people say brush off everywhere but I'm not so Catholic about it and and I brush maybe once a week or once a month brushing is important though because the everyday grit and sand and dirt can accumulate especially if uh on waxy Leathers they can dry on and then eventually scratch and crack your leather and if they get really dirty like say muddy dirty wipe the mud off with a damp Rag and then if you really have to you can use a saddle soap Thursday offers the wing tip boot in seven different uppers leathers and colors and two of them on a crepe sole rather than this studded sole boot care will be different uh between the different Leathers but you can ask Thursday what to do their customer service is usually very good before I finish let me talk about sizing uh if you're new to Quality boots you'd almost certainly have been buying boots and shoes in what is roughly your true size however it would be best if you you go to a store any shoe store and get yourself measured on a branck device to learn your true size a branded device is one of those aluminium things that I'm sure you stood on before you stand on it and they slide levers and you get measured you see the thing is that in most Heritage boots they size large particularly American Heritage boots and the advice is to take a half size down so if you measure a nine for example take an 8 and a half however with these Thursday they winged Boots the last or the mold that they used to build it on is shaped long and Sleek but narrow so in this case I was advised to take my true size now Thursday are changing some of their lasts so it's advisable when you buy this to check with them give them a few examples of your sneaker size and whatever brand you wear uh as well as some wellknown dress shoes that you that you wear give them some examples they can advise you on the on the fit based on those so there you have it now this has been my opinion of what you can do if you're new to Quality stitched boots if you like the look of them of a brog wing tip uh but you can't afford to or you don't particularly want to spend 4 or $500 on a boot that you're not really sure you like or maybe you're not sure you wear very much the Thursday wing tip makes it an affordable option to try see if you like Heritage construction boots and see if you want to go on with them and buy some more I'm not sponsored by Thursday so this is my personal opinion I mean who knows one day you may have a 100 pirs in your collection and start to make YouTube boot reviews anyway I hope you like the video uh and if you do please uh click on the like button below because that

uRYKcQfrb_I | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRYKcQfrb_I | Lets Play Panzer Corps 2 Ep26 | Operation Blue Part 1 | our long-awaited summer offensive has arrived and I want you to spearhead case blue and finally knock the Soviets out of this war solomid goal is to reach as far as the oil fields of the Caucasus capturing these resources which shut down the Soviet war machine while feeding house with precious oil striking hard and fast here at Verona sh-should froze the Soviet forces into confusion so I recommend starting there you will be expected to advance huge distances be sure to mobilize your forces appropriately sending the bulk of your forces between the dawn and doníts rivers will enable you to capture a number of your objectives if that complete you should be in a prime position to launch a final assault on this objective here remember since this operation has just begun don't get us started off on the wrong foot welcome back to pen score two folks so operation blue we have a new hero expert support lesson 20 percent accuracy when providing support fire not bad and what do we have here you can deploy here down here take off stuff all the way back here alright alright so we have seven thousand four hundred and thirty three prestige which is pretty good and as per usual I will reinforce purchase new units upgrade etc and then I'll be right back all righty so I have deployed all our units I have upgraded reinforced its era so let's just go that through through that real quick I brought in a Grenadier from our reserve and I over strengthen this bring deer a little bit he is up here and we have a pioneer up here as well we have the same number of tanks five tanks you have deployed here so we have a 21 centimeter and the 15 centimeter here with what our best tank I'd say probably and a martyr down here we have a 15 centimeter together with a tank recon and a green beer and some planes as well we also have planes up here we have a fighter and a Stuka further round we have a tank a martyr a pioneer 21 centimeter and the flock and down here we have a fighter and the stoker I upgraded one of our BF 110 G's to the Stuka down here we have a couple of Tanks for G's we have a pioneer we have a 15 centimeter a flak and we have Gustav because we actually have prestige to buy Gustav we had 7000 something and we still have 1866 even though I paid five thousand to get Gustav here and I have on this Stoker where we had the double attack I took off the double attack because he was doing enough damage to tanks and stuff without the double attack so I took the double check off and I've given Gustav the double attack I also gave Gustav the fast learner because it doesn't have any experience so we'll get it some experience fast so yeah that is what has been done so let's get into it I have something that can be given replacements I thought everything was replaced you can get replacements I don't think there's anything else no and deployment good so let's see it's raining so we can't even scout a bit we'll head over here and see [Music] sir o6 I kind of like that what think options audio turn down the music a bit more that's better okay so he retreated we can chase with this guy over run you can move down this way and see nothing really do stuff you come up here so Gustav won't get to fire this turn that's a shame that would have been fun let's head in this way and a look nothing much here there might be something in that town I want to take that out before we hit for war she loved God because I don't want it to go back and take our supply it sounds etc all right guess we're moving forward here there's a conscript 1:8 I'll take that one 8:08 that's better so wait all right decently that's I'm guessing there's nothing around the town no so you in there you attacked too for that's not that enticing to be honest they will just leave it like that you've already moved that's everything for this turn stupid ring alright this is much better fire fire fire so nine it wasn't quite zero nine you can finish it off okay doesn't really matter let's send you down here in there okay that cavalry though well it can't see us as things stand we'll leave it like that this is a tactical bomber hmm so 7 that sounds good to me come up here so we do have something in there 2:10 I think we'll send you up here 110 that's better then you can finish it good there alrighty that's that taken care of and we have some inter tank here let's just hit around behind and see what's there Hilary right stop anti-tank gun I like it shouldn't be able to see it there I hope I really don't like placing it on that bridge but and I think that's it for the turn you can come back here for some cover let's send you up here for support three it isn't three why did you come from bastard okay or spitting me down there took white the pounding can you reach up there and finish it off you can good no I think there how can you get we'll be able to hit no matter what so let's move you back I'm four okay not bad not bad [Music] you know this artillery down here really got hit hard to replace that one six one six isn't too bad [Music] down to six and it has five suppressed so that's fine look at that saw eight he's six that's still not great one five that's much better there was a tank out here somewhere I really want to leave you there to protect pull you out here they won't be able to see that and hopefully it'll give an ambush maybe right so we have left we have these guys here left I think you had toured or such it's the furthest you can go there's cavalry down there as well well they shouldn't be able to see this when there's this up here actually I'd rather have you there okay you can actually think that's everything you're not doing anywhere well you can come down here for cover for those two we have 20 turns to complete this and it's quite far that we have to go but I think we're okay I think we're okay double support school support was 10% accuracy it's that's for that lemme I don't know six I think we're spread a little bit too thin here that worked I think we're spread a little bit too thin that blocks it quite well I must take down here does it say 1/5 cause I can live with that lose those guys off kid quick get back [Music] all right Matt ants attack isn't doing too hot or not anti-tank artillery okay so you've gone here we've gone here we've gone here and we've gone up here I guess that's it for the turn yeah that artillery man we are spread way too thin surrender it's surrendered goddamnit well I don't have to worry about that anymore I do want to buy a new one though [Music] send you down this way that will clear this out and then we'll move on varnish we'll be able to reach there it's just such a shame run [Music] all right now these guys I think will come up this way and head this way these guys I'm thinking will come down here and just run along this way and an attack kalloch so just sprint along once we've cleared out Rostov all right Gustav has gained a star already wonderful we'll start working on that that out plus one too close to fence for our pioneers not bad place you you stay there everything else stays there and Gustav will get up and help with Miller Rover I suppose and then head out and help with Chris River or even head up here and help with the varnish could be an option to allegedly replace you you're not going anywhere you don't have anything to shoot let's rebase these guys up here okay what we're starting to dig into those guys very good 311 I think we'll wait do it one more turn before we start attacking that Rani I wish I could see that artillery back there I wanna bleep replace you which I think means that will just be staying their movie pace you guys up here 0-3 I'll take that over run nice actually get in there that's okay that is okay now Gustav actually needs something to run interference for it but I think that'll be this tank so that it can't get attacked by anything mmm the good thing about Gustav is that it has a heck of a long range stakes range six all right don't dare send it up there without knowing if there's a tank hiding or something just race these guys so we can't find that out this time just finish that off alright I think that's it for the turn yeah in the turn see there was something in here but we ambushed it didn't help much though damn it see this is bad this is really really bad I'm gonna have to do this right that helps some let's just get going here I really hope there's nothing out here now we really do [Music] do this you know that leaves them in trucks to 11 1 9 [Music] that's those guys dealt with [Music] which means we're ready to start our assault on varnish these air units guess that's it for the turn you know suppress three at least so that's good damn it oh that was India or something you it is an anti-air I helped some it's just too risky sending it like that it's a 5000 prestige investment I'm not risking anything with it there's nothing here all right okay a little bit Gustav really need replacements hmmm I think we'll leave it like that for now and we have these guys I start pounding those and I think next turn will start using our stew cop there as well else it's just going to take too long you guys moved was everything moved I think everything is moved you're not going anywhere everything is moved so yeah we're making progress but I think actually a little bit too slow we're in turn 8 of 20 we need to get all the way back here all the way back here we'll see we'll see I mean these guys should make quick progress that way right I hope we'll see but we will have to see in the next one guys because we are out of time so thank you very much for watching I

GY5KC1ClqFI | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GY5KC1ClqFI | Uncover the Secret Pathways of Healing: Your Easy Guide to Meridian Therapy | [Music] thank you all right now what we're going to do is we're going to go through the Meridian Basics and understanding treatment charts so um traditional Chinese medicine uses Meridian systems and if you think of meridians they are think of them as the energetic highways or perhaps even like the electrical wires running in between your walls and connecting light switches together and if I flip on that switch it'll turn on that light and if I flip on that switch it'll turn on maybe the same lighter and then next to it it'll turn on a different light so meridians are these energetic highways that run throughout the body and if uh organ or there's an injury or there's an energetic blockage it can either decrease the energy running through the Meridian or it can kind of give a overactivity of the meridian and so how do we know what meridians and all of that stuff so this is a little bit about how to decipher like what meridians were using like when you see our treatment charts so um if you have an acupuncture book now this happens to be our book light therapy but it can be even if you're looking at anything from an acupuncture perspective so the first things first to know which Meridian you're working on is that you'll see two little letters so I'm going to use pericardium as an example the abbreviation for pericardium is PC or p e um they're both the same they both mean pericardium Meridian and if you could imagine like if we had to write down the full word pericardium Meridian for each little point you wouldn't be you know there just wouldn't be enough space so that's why acupuncture systems put abbreviations by each meridian so I'll go through that with you so GV is governing vessel CV is conception vessel I want to talk about these two meridians first these are considered extraordinary meridians and what that is is they only have one channel so conception vessel goes right down the middle governing vessel goes right down the middle of the back so there's only one conception vessel Channel there's only one governing vessel Channel so when you see points that have a GV or a CV you only illuminate just that point the reason that I'm pointing this out is we're going to talk about say our pericardium Meridian and so pericardium Meridian is going to run here but it also runs here so even though it's we're talking about one Meridian it is a mirror image on both sides of the body so it's not just the left leg that has a pericardium Meridian or it's not just the right leg that has the pericardium meridian so it has so it's a mirror image thing so when you see on your chart like PC six [Music] um you're going to illuminate both sides of the body does that make sense now I'm just using this as an example um just as an example I just want to give you a good visual so pericardium Meridian is not actually on your leg I just want to make that clear but I just wanted to give you the example of that so we're going to go through the rest of the meridians so pericardium is PC or PE liver is L small I or l i v so there's a couple ways of doing that and I'm mentioning this because a lot of people use different resource materials we have ours charted one way to make it easy to understand so we've gone through pericardium liver LI or Liv spleen is sp kidney is Ki triple heater triple th that is the abbreviation for that the next one is large intestine L capital i small intestine s I capital S capital i stomach is s t and then we also have our um heart HT and then we have our bladder which is BL so when you see those anything with that abbreviation that means you're going to illuminate both both points on both sides of the body so you want to keep that in mind the other thing is that with our charts specifically we have there are colors associated with each Meridian and so when we designed our charts we designed them so that the points represent the color of that Meridian as well so you could use that as part of your practice a lot of advanced practitioners will utilize additional techniques in color therapy so we wanted to incorporate that as well so super simple when you are using your charts if you go to illuminate a GV point or a CV point you are going to do just one time on that point if you see any other abbreviations and you see it displayed on the left leg you're also going to do it on the right leg so that you make sure to get the energy moving through both of those channels so that is your basic introduction on using the meridians and how to utilize our charts [Music] thank you [Music] | Photonic Health | UCU6yY1_U8WQhCK9Ad7-lIGw | 2023-10-24 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 865 | 4,559 |
x8W02yg9Eu0 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8W02yg9Eu0 | Biometrics in Schools | Pippa King | the first use of biometrics in education as far as is known was in the county of Angus in Scotland in 1999 the county started using biometric fingerprint systems in schools to lock students through the canteen the schools in Angus 21 years later is still using the system in 2001 a company micro librarians approached the Information Commissioner's Office in the UK to see if it was within the scope of the Data Protection Act to use children's biometric fingerprint data for a library system to log books in and out here is what the commissioner's office said it's understandable that concerns will be raised over the use of such technology if it is believed that it involves the holding of a database of pupils fingerprints however from what I understood of our discussions although theoretically possible to use the information obtained from this system too much fingerprints taken from the scene of a crime the resources this would require makes this highly impractical in light of this I do not believe that the use of identica kinker print technology to identify the library members raises any data protection concerns micro librarian also received a letter in 2002 from the Department of Education okaying the use of biometric technology these letters effectively gave the green light to the biometric industry to introduce technology into York education primarily the technology was used for registration canteen and libraries from 1999 to 2013 school used a variety of biometrics often without informing parents the parents were informed and opted out rather than an opt-in was applied without exception none of which for including the widely use fingerprint systems were largely or at all in the commercial marketplace outside schools some examples of different biometric systems used in UK schools in the period from 1999 to 2013 were iris scanning in 2002 this was child for a canteen use in the secondary school in Sunderland in 2006 infrared palm scanning was trial by the Japanese company Fujitsu in a primary school in Paisley Scotland in 2010 facial recognition was used for registration in high schools in Northamptonshire all of these technologies are scrapped after being found not fit for purpose whilst UK was busy using biometrics on its school population the rest of the world was not prolifically using the technology at all as far as is known the only in the country to use biometrics in education was the USA and their use which has only the fingerprint wasn't until the late 2000s many biometric identifiers which seems to have passed the test for widespread use in schools is the fingerprint at the moment in the UK there are no other biometrics in use other than one isolated infrared palm scanning at a preschool nursery in Oxford there is hardly one aspect of the school management life that cannot be excluded from biometric technology although primarily used for cashless catering biometric data is also used in library for registration door access photocopying Locker access monetary payments laptop access and vending machines there are no figures held by the Department for Education or any UK Department on the amount of schools using biometric technology or the number of children with their biometric data on school databases the Information Commissioner's Office who oversees the Data Protection Act also does not collect figures on the storage of biometric data or processing of schools using biometrics to date none of the Department of Education or the ICO have ever examined any biometric system in school software or hardware the only method of loosely determining figures of children with their biometric stored on databases is to send individual schools Freedom of Information requests this is not an accurate method of determining the figures of schools reply to Freedom of Information requests are very poor and vary from a response rate of around forty-five to sixty percent so we can only make assumptions on the schools that are responded to Freedom Information requests there is proof to indicate that schools that do not answer the Freedom of Information requests are using biometric systems and these can boost the figures with schools using biometric systems by nearly 50% the UK as a school population of 10 million children and these two figures are based on that from Freedom of Information requests and Commission surveys it was showed but in 2007 it was estimated that two million children museum biometric systems in 2013 it was estimated at 3.2 million children using biometric systems more recent figures from 2016 sent to over 200 secondary schools across the UK are based on that Secondary School in six month of five million students by the technology is more common it was found that at least 2.8 million of 5 million school population were using biometric systems however the FOIA response rate was very poor and taken into account that biometric statistics rise significantly schools that do not respond to fires we should perhaps be working near a 70 percent figure of that which were commissioned survey found in 2018 which suggests an increase in the prevalence of biometric technology in secondary schools those providing a more accurate figure showing that around 3.5 million out of 5 million students in secondary schools in six forms using their biometric data the significant point here is not simply about the numbers at any one snapshot in time is getting an accurate figure is difficult it's about the prevalence of biometric technology in schools hence there is a high chance that a pupil going through the UK education system will at some point encounter a biometric system the issues with biometric technology in school there are a range of issues here but the most fundamental mons are it's a completely unnecessary when another form of ID easly services such as a PIN number or a card it's a disproportionate amount of personal information to give a panada to access mundane everyday school services biometric data of children must be secured for a lifetime not to know more possible future implications have compromised biometric data you have can have on an individual in years to come there is the potential to share biometric data between on the databases outside school without the data subjects knowledge and it also descends sizes that generation to the use of their biometric data without question so what rights do our children have to request the less previously intrusive form of identification in school in the UK we have the protection of freedom sacks 2012 which only applies to students in England and Wales the ACT details that schools can only process a child's biometric data when the following criteria has been met each parent of the child should be notified by the relevant Authority they are planning to process her child's biometrics and notified that they are able to object and in order for a school to process Charles biometrics at least one parent must calm sent a no-parent has withdrawn consent this needs to be in writing also the child can object to the processing of their biometrics regardless of parents consent legislation covering biometrics in European schools is under gdpr in August 2019 in Sweden it ruled that facial recognition used for attendance was unlawful citing recital 39 of gdpr in February 20 Poland deemed that using biometric fingerprint through school canteen was in violation of article 9 item 1 gdpr October last year France the CNIL stated that facial recognition could not be legally implemented as a proposed system is contrary to the main principles of the portion allottee and minimization of data laid down by gdpr the USA has 50 states and five of them have legislation regarding to biometric technology in schools for states dealing with consent and one Florida actually banning the use of biometric technology completely in schools Australia uses a facial technician and also fingerprint recognition and one of the letters from a Victorian Catholic school secondary school to parents said that the facial recognition program is based on student facial recognition and could determine if students were about on campus at any given time so where does the data go in the UK general information gathered against biometric data can go to catering company for the system supplier the school information management system local councils NHS Social Services Department of Education etc but this also applies to data held on non biometric school systems however regarding specifically to the transfer of biometric data a freedom information response received in 2016 from high school in Liverpool clearly stated that biometric data from the candy database was passed to police and social services when questioned further on this the school retracted this response and said they had made a mistake in their initial answer in 2013 all UK police forces were sent freedom information requests to determine whether the police were accessing School biometric data the responses were completely inconclusive with no 80% of the forces refusing aunt once a request due to cost the remaining 20% either had no data or failed to answer with only two forces stating they had never accessed biometric data from school database with the expansion of more screen interactions between student in school to deliver lessons and homework children spend increasingly more time interacting with the school fire electronic devices Scotland has the biggest iPad rollout to its pupils worldwide in conjunction with Apple and the tech company CGI which supplies Glasgow Edinburgh and Scottish Borders with IT services a total of over 150,000 school children nearly 20% of Scotland students will be given access to their own iPad by 2021 under the CGI contract one of this scheme there is no way to ensure the correct pupil is completing work set other than the following methods and this is received from Freedom of Information requests the responses stated teachers note the level to which their pupils are working and will discuss with their students if they have any doubt that was from Scottish Borders this January teachers use their professional judgment to scrutinize all work undertaken by students whether submitted electronically or on paper from Edinburgh it could be argued this work monitoring system is open to abuse with others doing work set for individual students indeed after speaking and additionally with a teacher in too high an online UK high school this is a problem they have and it is not always easy to identify when work submitted has been done by somebody other than the student it was intended for in 2050 in a solution to this potential problem was trialed in a school district in California students logged into their iPads via facial recognition technology for a first-of-its-kind pilot project this involved the ipod scan in the child's face every 60 seconds claiming to help kids log on to the iPad and for them not to forget their passwords however this was not just about remembering passwords or saving time logging on the facial scanning constantly verified the student so to stay logged in after privacy concerns raised by parents the scheme was halted shortly after it began in recent events that we are global experiencing due to coronavirus schools in India and UK stopped using their fingerprint scanners due to hygiene concerns whether the practice of using fingerprint scanners is continued after the ongoing events is unknown we could perhaps be looking at more facial recognition used in education because of hygiene fear surrounding fingerprint scanners from the recent aliens in Europe Europe from France Sweden and Poland using gdpr it is becoming clear that the processing of children's biometric data in school is in contravention of that legislation we are currently asking the ICO to re-examine the use of biometric technology in the UK schools in the light of these recent rulings under gdpr we are also looking to extending the rights of consent onto the protection of freedoms Act 2012 to include children in Scotland and Northern Ireland and to also extend the remit of current biometric

k1tzxnfKD9I | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1tzxnfKD9I | The HIGHEST PAYING Entry Level JOBS! | the highest paying entry-level jobs that's what we're going to be talking about today but before we do that make sure to gently tap the like button in order to defeat the evil youtube algorithm on this channel we talk about personal finance careers and degrees that will lead you to success and we talk about avoiding some of the common financial traps that people fall for all the time now if that's something that interests you and you haven't done it already go ahead and hit the subscribe button ring the notification bell to see more content like this now with that out of the way let's jump right into it there's a lot of careers in industries out there where you have to work for years in order to secure the back you got to start at the bottom work your way up and that might take years or there's a lot of careers out there where you have to get creative with it because there's really no entry-level jobs and so it's called using your imagination but these careers that we're talking about today are going to be ones where you can go right into an entry-level position right after college or even in some cases you don't need schooling at all you can just go in start securing the bag right away you're not going to have to wait 10 or 20 years before you start making pretty good money so number 10 on the list is going to be a software developer also known as a coder this is somebody who creates computer software and software is basically the programming and operating information that someone can use in order to tell a computer how to work now one interesting thing to note about software development and i'm just going to be blunt here it's kind of a young person's game the average age of a software developer in the united states for instance is about 32 years old to put that in perspective the average age of a lawyer for instance in the u.s is going to be around 50. now there's many different reasons for this one of them is that it's just generally speaking a pretty new field and so a lot of people who were born maybe in the 50s for instance didn't even have access to computers when they were young and so of course they didn't become software developers but another thing and this is kind of important is that the technology industry the field is changing so fast technology is advancing so fast that you're having to learn new languages and new frameworks just to keep up to date now many older developers will end up moving into management positions where instead of doing a lot of the coding they're going to just be in an oversight role where they make sure that projects get done others will end up specializing in like one language or one framework and they'll basically be like the world's renowned expert on that one language and so people will kind of come to them almost like as a consultant others will make a ton of money at a young age and then they'll end up retiring early just because they don't have to work anymore a lot of the people that are involved in the fire movement which is financial independence retire early you see this a lot on reddit and sometimes on youtube are software developers others end up retiring early but it's not because they have a bunch of money it's simply because they can't keep up and this is kind of just an unfortunate reality of the technology industry now it's kind of controversial you know there's a lot of people that talk about ageism and all that sort of thing pretty big controversy in the technology industry i'm not really going to get into that now there are several different ways for you to become a developer getting a computer science degree would be one of them of course i've talked about that a lot on this channel especially if you're someone who doesn't have a lot of experience already coding i think getting a computer science degree is a great choice you can also go to coding bootcamps you can take online classes and some people are even able to teach themselves how to code now this is one where you can go right into it and make pretty good money and then there's even more opportunity beyond that to make like really really good money you can check out websites like levels.fyi if you want to see what some of these companies in silicon valley seattle and new york are paying some of their software developers there's developers at facebook for instance that are making over a million dollars a year although that is pretty rare the big point here is technology and specifically software development learning how to code i think this is a huge opportunity very very valuable skill to learn it's pretty future proof in my opinion as well because sure there's going to be a lot of things that are automated but you're going to be the one who is programming those things that automate and i'm actually practicing what i'm preaching i'm teaching myself python right now and i do have a little project on the back burner that i may or may not release this year we'll see it might be early next year and it's going to have something to do with python and coding and i think it's going to be really cool so stay tuned for that number nine on the list is going to be pretending to be a dog on only fans you want a treat you want a treat sit sit now i'm only halfway kidding about this one um you might be laughing at the girl in the video but guess what she makes over six figures pretending to be a dog and that's not six figures a year six figures a month so i saw this the other day and the first thing i thought was what am i doing with my life go to your bed right now go to your bed but anyways now that i've made you lose all faith in humanity the real number nine is going to be systems engineering now it's kind of hard to explain what systems engineers do but basically they take the whole system of let's say a product life cycle for instance and they figure out what each individual part needs to do so they design integrate and manage complex systems over their life cycle so not only are you going to be using your engineering expertise but it's also kind of a business related degree as well now if you're anything like me when you hear about an engineering degree you might be like that sounds kind of hard i don't know about that chief you know i'm not going to sugarcoat it engineering degrees are really really difficult a lot of people go into engineering and they end up dropping out it has one of the highest dropout rates out of any type of major that's actually one reason why i don't rank engineering degrees as high just because of the fact that the average person probably isn't gonna want to put themselves through engineering school that four years which a lot of the time turns into like five or six years because of how difficult it is and sometimes it's not even about how smart you are i mean i'm sure most of you guys watching this are smart enough to get an engineering degree but a lot of it is just hard work you know i lived in a scholarship hall for instance when i was an undergraduate lived with 50 different dudes in a scholarship hall a bunch of them were engineers most of them just studied all the time like they didn't really have a life the most that they would do is they'd take a break from studying to play skyrim or something like that when it was finals time or midterms these guys they'd come out of their little study caves and they'd have like you know black rings around their eyes looking like a raccoon and i'll be real with you guys at 18 years old when i went to college i don't think i would have been ready for the workload that engineers have to do i wasn't mature enough at that time i probably would have ended up dropping out but if your big brain you're really passionate about the subject you can definitely do it now this particular one systems engineering it's kind of like a mixture of a project manager and an engineer they work with the individual pieces within a system and they coordinate how they're going to interact with each other and this is great because you'll be working with a bunch of different fields a bunch of different departments you'll be determining who is going to do what who's going to be responsible for what and when it should be done so you might have a team of mechanical engineers that's working on the mechanical aspect of a project let's say it's a car for instance then you got a team of electrical engineers and computer engineers that are going to be working on the hardware within the car then you got a team of software engineers that will be working on the software that they're going to use in the car and then you've got the system engineers that make sure all of them are on the same page and the project moves forward as it should now this requires a ton of technical knowledge and also a lot of business savvy and this is one where i look at it there's no way that this career is ever going to be automated and even if it was automated the skills that you can learn from this career would be skills that businesses would love to have in the future even if they're a little bit unrelated so this is one where by default you're probably going to end up working in a management position eventually but it also pays really well right off the bat number eight on the list is going to be a java developer so java developers are a specialized type of coder and generally they're gonna work with web developers and software engineers so they're going to go ahead and implement java into different websites software as well as applications now java is very common and because of that a lot of people choose to specialize in it and i'm not going to lie this one is pretty dang spicy to specialize in okay now like i mentioned for a moment before when it comes to coding there's generally two ways for you to progress in your career the first one is to move towards more of a leadership or a project management role and then the second is to specialize in something and gain extreme technical expertise so basically you're like the master so i think i told this story like one or two times before on this channel but it's a really good one and i'll keep it brief when i was in grad school in las vegas there was this particular mcdonald's that i lived right next to that i would go there to study because their coffee is a lot cheaper than starbucks and there was always this guy there who would sit on his computer and it seemed like he was just relaxing sometimes he'd be playing video games or answering emails and eventually we saw each other enough times that we started talking and he told me that he was basically a database architect now i eventually asked him about the career and i kind of asked him you know how much do you make how much do database architects make in general and he told me that he works on average somewhere around 10 to 20 hours a week sometimes even less than that and he was making well over two hundred thousand dollars a year now this is a great example of somebody who went down the technical expertise route he's basically someone who's recognized as you know somebody who knows more about database architecture than just about anyone in the world and so he was able to have a really cushy chill remote job where he worked at mcdonald's and he was making over 200 000 a year he even told me that he actually taught his nephew how to do database architecture as well and he kind of clowned on his nephew he was like man my nephew is not smart at all it took me a long time to teach him but he's also making over six figures a year now it was kind of hilarious to hear him clown on his nephew but yeah that kind of just goes to show that you know if you learn these languages you get really good at them there's just a ton of opportunity out there and i would sit there just like memorizing just like pages and chapters and books of medical information thinking to myself maybe i should have went into coding instead so yeah anyways java can be a really good one for you to gain technical expertise in so i'm not surprised that it was mentioned number seven on the list is going to be an implementation consultant so basically in layman's terms what they do is let's say you're working for a software company and they just sold a huge project to a single hospital okay so they sold some electronic software to a hospital now it's probably part of an entire hospital network but they're going to try it out at that one hospital first see if they like it and then if they like it they're going to go ahead and do it at every single hospital it's going to be like a huge contract millions and millions of dollars so it's very important for the company to make sure that that software gets rolled out very very efficiently so i'm sure a lot of people watching this before have had to learn a new software before it's a huge headache especially if there's a lot of bugs or anything like that and so what implementation consultants do is they would work for the software company and they would go to that hospital while it's being rolled out and they would be there to not only install everything but get everybody trained up and make sure that all the bugs or anything like that all of that is taken care of they'll talk to the it department the hospital management they'll talk to the doctors the nurses the pharmacists they'll make sure that everyone is on the same page we'll take care of all the different glitches hang-ups any questions that anybody has if there are any bugs in the system they'll make sure that they get fixed and they will stay at the hospital as long as they need to in order to roll out the software as you can see from a company's perspective this is an extremely useful position to have it could make the difference between the hospital just trying the software out maybe they just buy it for one hospital versus the hospital buying for a entire network of different hospitals that could be the difference between zero dollars and millions and millions of dollars in contracts very cool career very useful also one that's future proof in my opinion i don't see this one ever being automated number six on the list is going to be ux designer now the ux stands for the user experience you also hear them referred to as ux ui designers user experience user interface so what they focus on is the user experience you know users like you and i and their interaction with different types of technologies like websites applications uh cars for instance so this combines different aspects of technology of course but also design business art and you could even say psychology so people with this skill set are supposed to be able to wear many different hats now most of them are going to have an emphasis on software development of course so you might be seeing kind of a common theme here the big thing here is to provide a seamless user interface experience so let me give you an example here have you ever used like a government website or just a website that's really badly designed it's almost impossible for you to figure out where everything is it's like you're just trying to do one thing and you can't figure out how to do it this sort of thing actually kills businesses and a lot of them aren't even aware of it what a ux designer would do is they would basically make it to where it's as intuitive as possible so they would think about okay if a person is on this webpage on this website what are they likely to be looking for how can i make what they're most likely to be looking for as obvious as possible so that they can get to it so this is another career that's very creative but it's also pretty practical so if you're someone who's very artistic this could be a good one for you to look into it's going to be especially interesting to see how it evolves with the onset of touch interface voice control augmented reality virtual reality very interesting field number five on the list is going to be a product designer and this one is basically all about imagining designing and creating products that are meant for mass production so you want to make them as beautiful aesthetic and ergonomic as possible but you also want to keep in mind the practical side of things and make sure that it's a product that can be mass produced so this could be anything from designing beautiful chairs to designing a futuristic cyber truck with bulletproof windows number four on the list is going to be an investment banking analyst so basically you are going to be analyzing different investment banking criteria and then you're going to be making a bunch of different presentations and giving advice and guidance to investment bankers another career where you have a very nice salary right off the bat with an entry-level job now it is interesting to note here that you know a lot of the time investment banks are going to hire finance and accounting majors of course for these positions but it's actually not just limited to that some investment banks take the strategy of just hiring the smartest people possible they're basically going purely for brain power their strategy is to hire people who graduate from majors like math and physics and engineering and basically they think that if they just hire the smartest people in the world all the problems will kind of just work themselves out so they want to hire smart people and then train them how to do investment banking whereas some of the other companies want to hire people who are already trained how to do investment banking you know accounting majors and finance majors and they think that they're a little bit more specialized to do it now one thing to note here is the hours especially when you first start are going to be very long and hard there's a ton of money in the finance industry and if you want to be able to work your way up to the top levels you are going to have to work hard you're going to have to prove yourself most of the time a lot of the time these jobs are going to have like a base pay and then there's going to be some incentive bonus structure worked in there now one really cool thing about this job and just the finance industry in general is there's pretty much no ceiling to how much you can make i talked about this in my careers that create the most millionaires video where a lot of people in the finance industry end up in the top 99.9 percentile so they are the very very tippy top and i went over an article by a guy who basically works with people who have a lot of wealth and he teaches them how to invest and all that sort of thing so he works exclusively with people who are super rich and he said in this article that a lot of his clients that get to that high high level where they're you know got like over 10 million dollars or something like that are people who come from the finance industry so take that for what it is i think finance is one of those things where it's very high risk and high reward you know there's people that start off at the very bottom but even the ones that start off at the bottom are still making pretty decent money and then after you know working for many years they can become a senior level you know advisor or something like that in the company and they can make over five million dollars a year i'm not even kidding here so this one can be really great for certain personality types people who don't mind working like 80 plus hours a week working super hard and they're okay with doing that for many many years before they get to the point where they can have more of a normal job i don't have the personality type to do that sort of job for me i value my free time and i value job satisfaction and not having to work like 80 hours a week much more than i value how much money i make so i would much rather have a job where i'm making a little bit less but i have better job satisfaction and overall just life satisfaction because of the fact that i have so much free time number three on the list is going to be product manager now this is a very interesting career and the way i like to describe this one is it's kind of like you're an entrepreneur but you're within a giant business okay so think about amazon and all the different little mini businesses that have sprung off of amazon you know you've got amazon prime you've got the amazon prime video where it's basically kind of like a netflix sort of thing you've obviously got the shipping part of amazon they're trying to get into the pharmacy world they're trying to basically make like a mail order pharmacy right now they just bought pill pack for like i think 700 million dollars okay so amazon is basically starting all these different mini businesses that are under the umbrella of the giant amazon corporation so basically what a lot of businesses do especially big ones is they'll have product managers that are almost like the ceo or the entrepreneur of that one product that the umbrella business is starting so let's say that amazon sees that the us is apparently outlawing tick tock i guess and they want to start their own version in order to take up all of that market share so jeff bezos is going to get himself a product manager he's going to make them the leader of that tick tock wannabe initiative the product manager is going to make sure you know all of the important things when it comes to that particular business so you're going to want to know what market you're targeting what product is the problem solving how is the product going to be marketed what is the launch strategy etc etc etc they're responsible for assembling different teams you're going to have like you know the marketing team and the engineering team and then the software development side and they're going to be responsible for making sure that everyone's communicating with each other and they're meeting the deadlines now all these things are going to be the responsibility of the product manager i think this is a great career in general it teaches you leadership it teaches you all kinds of different skills that are very valuable i don't think this one will ever be automated and i think this one is even better if you think you might want to become an entrepreneur in the future this is almost like training wheels for learning how to start your own business this is also one of the most common careers people go into after getting an mba with this career you're gonna have to learn how to wear many different hats you're gonna have to learn management leadership uh sales marketing all kinds of different things you're gonna have to be pretty good in every single one it's basically just like being a ceo or an entrepreneur but there's kind of like training wheels you know you got a big company that you're working under that's funding you there's a lot more to this one it's another career that i really like but i'll go ahead and stop there just for the sake of the video number two on the list is going to be a software engineer hey another technology related career what do you know so software engineers all the time they get confused with computer programmers or software developers think about it like this let's say you're designing a house you're gonna have an architect which would be more like the software engineer who designs the house itself make sure that it's stable make sure it's not going to blow over make sure it's got a good foundation if there's an earthquake it's not going to collapse on itself and all that good stuff then you've got the contractor who actually builds out the house itself that would be more like the software developer they're the ones who actually write the code so that's the difference between the two software engineers probably know a lot of code themselves there is some overlap there of course but overall software engineering is an excellent one to get into number one on the list is going to be a data scientist so data scientists in general are going to be employed by businesses they're going to have some business expertise in order to analyze different data that can help the business make more money and be more successful so basically as a data scientist you're going to get a bunch of junk numbers that really don't make any sense and you're going to have to make sense of those numbers figure out what you can glean what you can tell from those numbers and how your findings can actually help the business now this is usually going to be data that has something to do with either sales or marketing you could say this is another degree that combines business skills with technology skills which is always a good combination so basically what you're going to do is take a bunch of crappy unorganized data and you are going to organize it in such a way that not only does it make sense but you can make business decisions based on it and you can explain it to the business people who might not be as technically talented so this will require not just coding and problem solving skills but also a lot of math and statistics as well now i got these numbers from glassdoor.com and usually on my videos i use pay scale not because it's better but just because it's a little bit easier to keep everything organized so that i'm not comparing apples to oranges i wouldn't want to use glassdoor in one video and then pay scale in the next video just because it's difficult to organize them and their methodologies for how they rank different careers might be a little bit different but yeah check out this blog post that i got the video id from i agree with everything they say i think they analyze the data really well you'll see that there's a lot of technology related careers on here which i wasn't surprised at at all but yeah go ahead smash the like button if you haven't done it already why haven't you hit the subscribe button ring the notification bell comment down below any thoughts comments criticisms etc that you have on the video and before you leave make sure to check out my other videos right here i made them just for you

I went into the wilderness further into the village we're already in the wilderness I went further into the Wilderness no electricity no running water had a knife on my side a rifle on my back as a kid teenager and I held a Trapper named John Terry run a trap line that's what I did I know how to survive in the wilderness I had to start a fire with my hand you're gonna catch a fish with my hands 200 miles away from any civilization no I'm not 260 miles away sorry but far away enough way there was is it's a major trip to going to town to get supplies and I helped with the traveling my formal education ended at 13. I have not gone to school since 13 years old I'm an uneducated bomb I was a homeless button too for a long time as I was traveling um at 18 I looked around realized there's no girls I gotta get out of here I love girls and I came out into the world into the world and I was completely unequipped socially I was the the most needy Petty sticky um jealous guy because I didn't know how to I didn't go to university or college to get some social understanding I didn't know I got my understanding from movies which romantic comedies you know which is the guy the nice guy always wins at the end and I don't think so so I was really that guy and I yeah it's embarrassing you know back you know the movie Hitch where he's yeah he's looking he flashes back to his college days and he's got braces and the girls getting into the car with the cool guy and he's like leaning against the window crying uh I'll be there for you I saw that in the movie theater I was like because I did the exact same thing I have an image of me I'm not kidding this is embarrassing to say but I have exact same thing I'm crying probably 20 or 19 or something she's getting on the back of a motorcycle this girl I was dating getting on back and motorcycle with some cool guy and he's like who's this guy who's this loser she goes I don't know let's go and I'm crying and I'm saying I know I'll be here for you when you come back yeah I was the quintessential nice guy who's uh it's embarrassing you know and um so I'm talking to that young guy he doesn't have to be that way you don't have to buy into any of the modern discourse there's a better beautiful message my thesis well I'll say it this way Nietzsche said God is dead everybody knows this quote right and we think okay well Nietzsche was was affirming my atheist beliefs yeah he's an atheist too Nietzsche was a staunch atheist but the rest of the quote is this he said God is dead God will remain dead and we have killed him so what he was really saying get ready because when you strip God in the Transcendent out of modern society good luck and he was an atheist but he knew this the saving grace and the salvation of community that the concept of God and the Transcendent had for had for communities around the world you strip it out and look we have today political you know unrest uh relationships in you know antagonistic no sense of the Beloved that we used to have right that's why we have this turmoil today and this this angry discourse my thesis is this that's what I'm trying to write about it's hard the alabaster girl came out of my experience 100 my experience for 10 years I wrote that book and the whole time I was writing it I never read a book and I love books I go into an airport bookstore and I love bookstores I'm going to a bookstore and I've been there for like three minutes I'm like I felt guilty because I should be working on my book and not and I also didn't want to influence it anyway so I didn't read a book for 10 years no kidding and I dumped it out of my system and it was like it just vomited out of me and I was empty I did public speaking for the next two years after that I'm like I I have nothing to say because it's all there and I'd start to tell a little story or anecdote and people in the audience go yeah yeah as I'm saying it because they read my books and I have stalled so as you can tell I don't talk about anything I know I'm talking about what I'm interested in knowing what I'm curious about right now what I'm thinking about when I set my rocking chair that's what I'm thinking about that's cool so Nietzsche said God is dead and what we have the this the the symptom of our modern times sorry my voice is scratchy the symptom of our modern times is that we've we've turned our face away this is my what I 100 believe we've turned our face away in all things in art in architecture in relationships and politics we've turned our face away from beauty and we celebrate ugliness [Music] | 21 Studios | UCuErSr7xeR763BzTJL7yJ7A | 2023-03-02 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 1,385 | 7,001 |

hospital and switched body from the astronaut to a nurse in the ambulance attending to him the life foundation recovers the other three remaining specimen and transports them to the research facility

4RIx9hrkI7c | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RIx9hrkI7c | Consoling Thoughts of Saint Francis de Sales | Jean-Joseph Huguet, Saint Francis de Sales | 6/7 | book three chapters 16 through 18 of the consoling thoughts of st. Francis DeSales by jean-joseph you gay this LibriVox recording is in the public domain book 3 consoling thoughts on sickness and death chapter 16 how much God loves the Saints notwithstanding their defects and imperfections to every man however holy he may be there always remained some imperfection because he has been drawn from nothingness so that we do no injury to the saints when in recounting their virtues we relate their sins and defects but on the contrary those who write their lives seem for this reason to do a great injury to mankind by concealing the sins and imperfections of the saints under pretence of honoring them not referring to the commencement of their lives for fear of diminishing the esteem of their sanctity oh no indeed this is not to act properly but it is to wrong the Saints and all posterity all the great saints when writing the lives of other Saints have told us their faults and imperfections candidly and thought as was right that by this means they should render as much service to God and even to the Saints as by recounting their virtues the great Saint Jerome writing the eulogy of his dear daughter st. Paula tells her imperfections plainly and openly condemning some of her actions himself with an admirable in genuine as' always making truth and sincerity walk hand in hand in the description of her virtues and her defects knowing well that one would be useless without the other for beholding the defects of the saints while admiring their lives we learn how great is the goodness of God who forgave them and we also learn to avoid the like and to do penance for them as the Saints have done in the same manner as we behold their virtues in order to imitate them when persons of the world wish to praise those whom they love they always relate their accomplishments their virtues and their excellent qualities giving them all the titles which may render them more honorable carefully hiding their sins and imperfections and scrupulously forgetting everything that might make them appear mean or contemptible but our Holy Mother the church acts in quite a different manner for those she singularly loves her children nevertheless when she wishes to praise and exalt them she exactly relates the sins which they committed before their conversion in order to render more honor and glory to the majesty of him who sanctified them showing forth resplendent ly His infinite mercy by which he raised them from their miseries and sins loading them afterwards with his Grace's and giving them his holy love by means of which they arrived at the height of sanctity certainly our good mother the church in writing or recounting the sins of the saints has had no other intention unless to show us that she does not wish we should be astounded or put in pain about what we have been or at the sins which we have committed or at our present miseries provided we have a firm and inviolable resolution to belong entirely to God and generously to embrace the perfection and all the means which may help us to advance in holy love acting in such a manner that this resolution may be efficacious and may produce fruits indeed our miseries and weaknesses however great they may be ought not to discourage us but all rather to Humble us make us cast ourselves into the arms of the divine mercy which will be so much the more glorified in us as our miseries are greater if happily we rise from them which we ought to hope to do by means of the grace of our Lord the great Saint Chrysostom speaking of st. Paul praises him most appropriately and discourses of him with so much honor and esteem that it is a wonderful thing to see how he relates the virtues the perfections the excellences the prerogatives the graces with which God had adorned then enshrined the soul of the holy apostle but afterwards the same doctor to show that all these gifts and graces proceeded not from the saint but from the infinite goodness of God treats of his defects and very exactly relates his sins and imperfections behold he says the cruel persecutor of the church God makes of him a vessel of election behold this great sinner God changes him from a wolf into a lamb behold with how many graces God replenishes this obstinate an ambitious man making him so submissive that he uses these words Lord what wilt thou have me to do so humble that he calls himself the least of the Apostles and the greatest of sinners and so charitable that he becomes all to all to gain all who is sick says this great apostle and I am NOT sick who is sad and I am NOT sad who is joyful and I am not joyful who is scandalized and I am not on fire assuredly the ancient fathers who wrote the lives of the saints we're exceedingly precise in relating their defects and sins in order to exalt and magnify so much the more goodness of our Lord who has pleased us to glorify himself in them showing the efficacy of His grace by which they were converted chapter 17 the sweet and happy death of the predestined God having once drawn his faithful servants to him and taken their salvation under his protection he does not quit them until he has guided them to their journey's end and lodged them safe in heaven having received great services from his Saints he usually gives them towards the close of their days some four tastes of the felicity of the future life in order the better to dispose them to sigh for that infinite beatitude which awaits them in paradise to discuss them with all terrestrial things and to make them banished from their hearts every unworthy desire so that seeing they can neither sing nor hear the divine praises in this world according to their liking they enter in to extraordinary desires of being delivered from the fetters of this life to go into a place where God is perfectly and supremely loved and those desires taking possession of their hearts become so powerful and so pressing in the breasts of those sacred lovers that they render their souls all languishing and sick of love until this holy passion rises to such a degree that they sweetly die of it thus the glorious and seraphic st. Francis having been for a long time weary of living weary with the strong affection of praising God at last in his closing years received by a special revelation and assurance of his eternal salvation and being no longer able to contain his joy and his hardened desires taking every day new increase his soul at length burst from his body with a spring towards heaven pronouncing these sacred words draw my soul out of prison Oh Lord that I may bless thy Holy Name the just expect until now give us me the desired rest so it is with all the saints whose death is ever most precious though it happens in diverse ways according to the Providence of God for their spirit like a celestial Nightingale shut up in the cage of the body in which it cannot sing with freedom the divine benedictions knows well that it would warble better and in tone more joyfully it's beautiful notes if it could only gain the free air to enjoy its liberty and the Society of the other song stirs among the gay and flourishing hills of the happy country therefore delivered from the cage of the body withdrawn from its mortal prison set free from slavery it flies on high to heaven to be united with the choirs of angels and saints and to join with them in a sweet harmony of delicious canticles singing praising and blessing forever the infinite mercy of God my god how desirable is such a death oh how lovely is the temple to which the souls of the saints fly there the vaults Rijeka with praise and what a happiness belongs to those who dwell in the sacred abode were so many celestial musicians and divine choristers sing with a holy emulation of love the songs of everlasting sweetness as soon as a soul enters paradise to make irrevocably its home and resting place there in those sacred mansions and those holy and desirable Tabernacles God disposes it and strengthens it by the excellent light his glory to be capable of beholding so sublime and so resplendent an object has the divinity divers says plainy who's seeking for precious stones descend into the sea take some oil in their mouths in order that pouring it out they may enjoy more day to see in the waters through which they move in like manner the Saints being plunged in the ocean of the divine essence God sheds through their understanding a special light which makes a sort of day to them and the abyss of light inaccessible in order that by the brightness of glory they may behold the brightness of the divinity all the blessed are perfectly happy and have an inexpressible contentment to know that after having satiated all the desires of their hearts and fully replenish their every capacity in the enjoyment of an infinite good which is God yet there still remain in this infinity infinite perfections to be seen to be enjoyed and to be possessed which the divine majesty alone knows it alone comprehending itself oh how beautiful it is to see those happy citizens of paradise and truly great princes of the holy Empire more invested on all sides by the ocean of the divinity then fishes are enclosed by the waves in the bosom of the sea then birds as they fly our environment by the air then stars encased in the azure firmament are surrounded by the heavens Oh what Felicity to be more intimately United to God than light is to the purest crystal and fire to the gold which shines like the Sun and the crucible and the soul to the body and grace to the soul let him who can explain the full rejoicing of the saints which Springs from the unreserved enjoyment of the sovereign uncreated good which is fathomed only by abysus measured only by immensity bounded only by infinity limited only by Eternity and comprehended only by the divinity itself thence the perfect friends of God now fully possessed draw an extreme contentment seeing themselves infinitely above all that they could have expected loaded with honor inebriated with the most pleasurable torrents of the house of God true rendezvous of all holy and chaste delights which the Most High God of peace and of all consolation spreads continually to rejoice his faithful servants satiating them to the fool yet without discussed for the meats of his divinely royal table worthy of the most happy the most illustrious and the most glorious monarch God as a most loving father is pleased thus to feast and entertain his true children begotten of His grace and recognized by the glory which he shares with them which he does in a manner infinitely admirable for from enjoyment Springs desire and in proportion as desire increases the enjoyment increases this without weariness and that without anguish both with perfect pleasure and contentment it is said that those who keep in their mouths a certain City and herb suffer neither hunger nor thirst so deliciously are they sustained by it in like manner when the will enjoys God it reposes in him with a sovereign complacency and nevertheless it ceases not the motion of its desires ardently desiring love and loving desire infinity nightingales takes so much pleasure in their song according to plenty that's sometimes for 15 days and nights they never cease to warble vying always with one another to sing better so that when they sing most melodiously they experience the greatest complacency and this increase of complacency leads them to still greater efforts their complacency rising in such a manner with their song and their song with their complacency at many a time they are seen to die and their throat is found burst with the force of singing Oh God how melodiously do those beautiful souls who hold the first rank in heaven and who surpassed the ordinary blessed as much as they exceeded him in merits and sanctity here on earth chant the divine benedictions in proportion as they praise God they are pleased with praising him and in proportion as they are pleased with praising him they desire to praise him yet better and to content themselves unable to wish any increase to God because he has infinitely more than they can desire or even think of they desire at least that his name may be praised exalted blessed honored and glorified more and more in heaven and on earth by men and angels would to God that we could act us and there all the faculties of our souls whereas so many sacred tubes on which to sound the divine canticles of praise and cube elation chapter 18 death of the saints young sister Jeanne de Sales in the arms of Madame de Chantal well now my dear daughter is it not reasonable that the will of God should be accomplished in what is not pleasing to us as well as in what is pleasing to us but I must hasten to tell you that my good mother drank the chalice with a truly Christiaan constancy and her virtue of which I had so good an opinion before has greatly advanced in my esteem on Sunday morning she sent for my brother the cannon to come to her and because she had seen him very sad and all the other brothers to the preceding evening she began to say to him I have been dreaming the whole night that my daughter Jane was dead tell me I pray is it true my brother who expected that I should have arrived to tell her seeing this beautiful opportunity to make the announcement it is true mother he said and nothing more for he had not the strength to add anything the will of God be done said my good mother and she wept for a time abundantly and then calling her maid I wish to rise said she to go into the chapel to pray to God for my poor daughter and immediately she did as she had said not a single word of impatience not a look of uneasiness a thousand benedictions to God and a thousand resignations to his will never have I seen a more tranquil sorrow so many tears as were marvellous yet all with the most simple emotions of the heart without any kind of bitterness she was still her dear child well now ought I not to love such a mother yesterday the feast of All Saints I was the extraordinary confessor to the family and with the Most Holy Sacrament I sealed this mother's heart against all sadness as for the rest she thanks you infinitely for the care and the maternal love you exercised in regard to the little deceased with a gratitude as great as if God had preserved her by this means the same is said to you by all the members of the family which has shown itself extremely well pleased with the circumstances of this death above all our voice II whom I love especially I know well that you would fain ask me and you how did you bear it yes for you desire to know what I did alas my daughter I am only a man and nothing more my heart was affected more than I ever could have imagined but the truth is the grief of my mother and yours contributed much to it for I was afraid of your heart and my mother's but lived Jesus I will always take the side of divine providence it does everything well and disposes of all things for the best what a happiness for this child to have been taken away from the world that iniquity might not alter her understanding and to have left this mire II place before being defiled by it we gather the strawberries and the cherries before the bergamot pears but it is because their season requires it let us allow God to gather what he has planted in his orchard he takes everything in its season you can imagine my dear daughter how cordially I love this little sister I had begotten her to her Savior it was I who baptized her with my own hand now about 14 years ago she was the first creature on whom I exercised my stature total powers I was her spiritual father and fondly promised myself to make of her one day something good and that which rendered her exceedingly dear to me I speak the truth was that she was yours but nevertheless my dear daughter in the midst of my heart of flesh which has experienced so many emotions at this death I perceived very clearly a certain tranquility a certain sweet repose of my mind on divine providence which spreads through my soul a great contentment blended with its grief you have now my feelings represented to you as I have been able but you my dear daughter what would you say when you would tell me how you found yourself on this occasion tell me I pray does not our Mariners needle always point to its beautiful star to its holy star to its God your heart what did it do did you scandalize those who saw you on this event now my daughter tell me this plainly for you see I would not be content if you offered your life or that of any of your other children in exchange for that of the deceased no my dear daughter we must not only be willing that God should strike us but we must be glad that it should be on the side he pleases we must leave the choice to God for it belongs to him David offered his life for that of his Absalom but it was for fear his son should have died lost in this case we must conjure God but in temporal losses on my daughter let God slap us and pinch us wherever he pleases and whatever Accords of our Luth he pleases to touch let him always find this sweet harmony Lord Jesus without reason or without ifs without butts without exception without limitation may thy will be done / father / mother / a daughter in everything and everywhere oh I do not say that we must not desire or pray for their preservation but to say to God leave this one and take that one my dear daughter we must not say it neither shall we say it my daughter no by the help of divine grace it seems to me that I see you my dear daughter with your vigorous heart which loves and desires ardently I am pleased with it for those hearts half dead life - what are they good but we must have a particular exercise once every week namely to desire and love the will of God more earnestly more tenderly and more affectionately than anything in the world and this not only in occurrences that are supportable but even in those most insupportable you will find something exquisite on this point in the little book the spiritual combat which I have so often recommended to you alas my daughter to speak the truth this lesson is high but God for whom we learn it is the most high you have my daughter for children you have a father a father-in-law a dear brother and then again a spiritual father all these are very dear to you and with reason for God wishes it well if God were to take them all from you would you not still have enough in having him is not this according to your view when we have only God have we not abundance alas the son of God our dear Jesus had scarcely so much on the cross when having quitted and left all for love and obedience to his father he was abandoned and forsaken by his father and the torrent of anguish carrying away his bark to desolation scarcely could he recognise the needle of the compass which was not only turned to what was inseparably United with his father yes he was one with his father but the inferior part neither knew nor perceived it a trial which the divine goodness never made and never will make on any other soul for no one could endure it my daughter though God takes everything away from us yet he will never take himself away so long as we do not wish it but still more all our losses and separations are only for a moment oh truly for so little we ought to have patience I pour myself out it seems a little too much but what I am my heart which never thinks it says too much with so dear a daughter as you I send you a discussion to please you and since you desire to have the services performed in the place where this child reposes in her body I am satisfied but without great pomp unless that which the Christian custom justly requires for - what good is anything else you will have drawn out afterwards in a list all the expenses and those of her sickness and you will send the account to me before I wish this also and in the meantime we will pray to God on our side for her soul and pleasantly offer her little honors we will not meet at her month's mind no my daughter there is no need for so much ceremony about one who never held any rank in the world for it would rather be to mock her you know me I love simplicity in death and in life I shall be glad to know the name and title of the church where she reposes and the book 3 chapter 18 three chapters 19 through 21 of the consoling thoughts of st. Francis DeSales by jean-joseph Oh gay this LibriVox recording is in the public domain book three consoling thoughts on sickness and death chapter 19 death of the countess de Sales mother of the saint but oh my god my dearest daughter should we not in all things and everywhere adorn the supreme Providence whose counsels are always holy good and amiable behold how he has been pleased to draw from this miserable world our dearest and most excellent mother to have her as I confidently hope near himself and at his right hand let us confess my well beloved daughter let us confess that God is good and His mercy endureth forever and his wills are just and all his decrees equitable his good pleasure is always holy and his ordinances are most amiable as for me I confess my daughter that I experienced great grief on this separation for I must make the confession of my weakness after having made that of the divine goodness but nevertheless my daughter it was a tranquil grief though acute twice ed with David I have been silent O Lord and opened not my mouth because thou has done it had it not been for this I would undoubtedly have cried out piteously under the stroke but it was not according to my mind that I should dare to do so or manifest any discontent under the strokes of a paternal hand which in truth thanks to its goodness I have learned to love tenderly from my youth but you would wish perhaps to know how this good woman ended her days behold then a little history of it for it is to you I speak to you I say to whom I have given this mother's place in my momento at mass without taking away that which you had before before I could not bring myself to do it so firmly do you hold that which you hold in my heart and thus you hold the first and the last place there this mother then came here in winter and during the month which she remained she made a general review of her soul and renewed her desires of well doing with very great affection indeed and she went away the most contented in the world with me from whom as she said she had drawn more consolation than she had ever done before she continued in this good way until Ash Wednesday when she went to the parish church of Torrance where she confessed and communicated with very great devotion and heard three masses and Vespers during the day being in bed and unable to sleep she caused her maid to read her three chapters of the introduction to entertain her and good thoughts and desired her to mark the protestation to be made the following morning but God was content with her good will and disposed of matters otherwise for morning being come this good lady arose and while combing her hair suddenly she fell down as if dead my poor brother your child who still slept being informed of what had happened ran in his night dress and lifted her up and helped her to walk and assisted her with essences imperial waters and other things which are recommended in cases of accidents so that she recovered and began to speak that almost unintelligibly so much had the tongue and the throat been affected a messenger came to me and I hastened immediately with the physician in the apothecary who found her apoplectic and paralyzed in one half the body her stupor was of such a nature that it was easy to awake her and during those moments of consciousness she manifested a perfect clearness of judgment using the hand that still remained sound and speaking very apropos of God in her soul sometimes she sought for the crucifix groping so suddenly had she become wine and kissed it never did she take anything without making the sacred sign over it and thus she received the holy oil on my arrival lined in drowsy as she was she caressed me much and said this is my son and my father and kissed me embraced me with her arms and kissed the hand to me before everything she continued in the same state for nearly two days and a half after which it was difficult to awake her and on the first of March she surrendered her soul sweetly and peacefully to our Lord with the countenance of greater beauty than perhaps she had ever born in life remaining one of the loveliest dead I have ever seen I have still to tell you that I had the courage to give her the last benediction to close her eyes and mouth and to give her the kiss of peace at the moment of her departure after which my heart filled and I wept over this mother more than I have ever done since I entered the church but it was without spiritual bitterness thanks be to God behold what passed chapter 20 the rapidity of time these temporal years pass away the months are reduced to weeks the weeks to days the days to hours and the hours to moments which are all that we possess for which we possess only in proportion as they perish the more perishable our existence the more amiable ought it to be to us since this life being full of miseries we should have no greater consolation to know that it rapidly vanishes to give place to a Holy eternity which is prepared for us in the abundance of the mercy of God and to which our soul incessantly aspires by continual thoughts arising from its own nature though it cannot hope to arrive there but by other thoughts more exalted with which the author of nature inspires us indeed I never consider eternity without much sweetness before I say how can my soul extend it's thought to this infinity unless there is some kind of proportion between it and eternity but when I feel that my desire runs after my thought my joy takes an incredible increase for I know that we never desire with the true desire anything but what is possible my desire then assures me that I can possess eternity what remains to me more than to hope that I shall possess it and this assurance proceeds from the knowledge I have of the infinite goodness of him who would not create souls capable of thinking on intending to eternity without giving them the means of attaining to it let us then often say everything passes and after the few days of this mortal life an infinite eternity will come little does it matter whether we have conveniences or inconveniences here provided that for all eternity we are happy a great soul sends all its best thoughts and affections forward to the infinity of eternity and being immortal it steams to short all that which is not eternal to small all that which is not Infinite and rising above the delights or rather the vile amusements of this life it keeps its eyes steadily fixed on the immensity of eternal Goods and the vastness of eternal years oh how desirable is eternity at the cost of miserable and perishable vicissitudes what time flow by with which we flow on to be transformed into the glory of the children of God alas when I consider how I have employed God's time I am in pain lest he should not give me his eternity since he gives it only to those who use his time well Oh God the years pass away and run as a thread imperceptibly one after another dividing our existence they divide our mortal life and ending they end our days oh how incomparably more amiable is eternity since its duration is without end and its days are without nights and it's contentment are without variation how much I desire I did a high degree you may possess this admirable good of a whole eternity what a happiness for my soul if God showing it mercy grants it also this consolation chapter 21 we should abandon ourselves to God in this life and in death among the praise is given by the Saints to Abraham st. Paul mentions this above every other that he believed hoping against all hope God had promised to multiply his posterity as the stars of heaven and as the sand on the seashore and notwithstanding gave him an order to sacrifice his only son yet Abraham did not lose hope but believed that while obeying the commandment to immolate his son God would not fail to keep his word great indeed was his hope for he saw nothing on which to rely except the Word of God oh how true and solid a foundation is this word for it is in malleable Abraham proceeded then with extraordinary simplicity to fulfill the directions of God for he made no more hesitation or reply then when God had told him to quit his country in his father's house walking three days and three nights with his son not knowing precisely whether he went carrying the wood of sacrifice his son asked him where was the Holocaust to which he replied my son the Lord will provide it oh my god how happy we should be if we could accustom ourselves to make answer to our hearts when they are in fretfulness about anything our Lord will provide for it and then to have no more anxiety or trouble than Isaac for he was silent afterwards believing that the Lord would provide what was necessary as his father had told him great indeed is the confidence which God requires we should have in his paternal care and in his holy Providence but why should we not have it seeing that no person was ever deceived therein and no one confides in God without reaping the fruits of his confidence consider what our Lord says to his apostles to establish them in this holy and loving confidence when I sent you into the world without purse without silver without any provision was anything wanting to you they say no go he says to them and be not solicitous for what you shall eat or what you shall drink or how you shall be clothed or how you shall speak when brought before magistrates for on every occasion my father who is in heaven will give you that which is necessary but I am so little spiritual someone will say I do not know how to treat with the great I have no knowledge it is all one go and confide in God for he says though a mother should forget her child yet will not I forget you for I bear you and graven on my heart and on my hands thank you that he who is careful to provide nourishment for the birds of the air and the beasts of the field that neither sow nor reap will fail to provide all that is necessary for those who fully trust in his providence and who are capable of being forever United with him who is the sovereign good we ought to know that to leave oneself is nothing else than to quit one's own will in order to give it to God for it will avail us little to renounce ourselves unless we unite ourselves to the divine goodness to act otherwise would be to imitate those philosophers who made admirable abandonments of all things and of themselves but only under some vain pretense of philosophy witness epictetus who being a slave by condition and his master wishing to set him free on account of his great wisdom would not accept his liberty one of the greatest blessings but remained as he was in slavery so poor but at his death he left only a lamp which sold exceedingly dear having belonged to so great a man as for us let us not seek to abandon ourselves unless to leave ourselves at the disposal of the will of God there are many who say to our Lord I give myself entirely to thee without any reserve but there are few who embrace the practice of this renunciation which is nothing else than a perfect submission in receiving all kinds of events according as they happen by the order of God's providence as well affliction as consolation sickness as health poverty as riches contempt as honor opprobrium as glory I speak of the superior part of the soul where there is no doubt but the inferior part the natural inclination tends always more to the site of Honor and to that of contempt to the side of riches rather than to that of poverty although no one is ignorant that contempt and poverty are more agreeable to God and honor and abundance let us live as long as God pleases in this valley of tears with an entire submission to his holy will I considered the other day what authors write concerning Halcyon little birds that poised on the roadstead of the sea it is that they make their nests round and so closely pressed together that the water cannot at all penetrate them and there is only one little hole in the top by which they can breathe within they lodged their little ones so that the sea surprising them they float securely on the surface of the waves without being filled or submerged and the air entering by the little holes serve so nicely to balance these little chick Ling's and their little skiffs that they are never capsized oh how I desire that our hearts should be thus closely pressed together every stopped-up so that if the torments and tempest of the world seize upon them they may not penetrate them and that there should be only one opening on the side of heaven by which to breathe to our Savior and this nest for what should it serve for the little fledglings of its maker for divine and celestial affections but while the halcyon czar building their nests and their little ones are yet too tender to endure the shocks of the billows our God has care for them and looks down on them with pity preventing the sea from overturning and destroying them Oh God this sovereign goodness will also secure the nest of our hearts on account of its holy love against all the assaults of the world or will preserve us from being assailed by them oh how much I love those birds which are surrounded by water live on the air and see only heaven they swim like fishes and sing like birds and that which pleases me most is that their anchor is cast on the upper side and not on the lure to steady them against the waves maybe sweet Jesus vouchsafe - for my soul that though environed by the world and the flesh we may live by the spirit that in the midst of the vanities of the world we may always look to heaven that dwelling amongst men we may associate with angels and that the foundation of our hopes may be on high in paradise let holy love be always and everywhere our chief log alas when will it consume our life and make us die to ourselves to live only to our Saviour to him alone belong honor glory and benediction for ever since our inviolable purpose and invariable resolution tends continually to the love of God never our words of the love of God out of place I shall say nothing further to you either on the great abandonment of ourselves and of all things to God or on the departure from our country in the house of our parents no I do not wish to speak of them may God be pleased to enlighten us and to show us his good pleasure for at the risk of all that is in us we shall follow him into whatever place he leads us oh how good it is to be with him no matter where I think on the soul of the good thief our Lord had said that it would that day be with him in paradise and no sooner was it separated from its body and it passed down to hell yes for it would be with our Lord as our Lord descended into hell it went thither then with him oh god what did it think on while descending and be holding those abysus before its interior eyes I believe it said with Jobe who will grant me oh my god that thou mayest defend and preserve me in hell and with David no I shall fear no evil for the Lord is with me so long as our resolutions live I shall be untroubled though we die know everything be overthrown it matters little provided they subsist the nights are days when God is in our heart and the days are nights when he is absent end of book 3 chapter 21 for chapters one through three of the consoling thoughts of st. Francis DeSales by jean-joseph Oh gay this LibriVox recording is in the public domain book for consoling thoughts on Eternity chapter 1 the Christian manner in which we should mourn over those whom we have lost if we lose our parents and friends we ought not to be too much distressed for there is no reason in the world why we should desire those whom we love to remain a long time here and we ought rather to praise God when he takes them away then be grieved at it in the same manner we must all one after another depart according to the order which has been established the first to leave only find themselves the more fortunate when they have lived with care of their salvation and then an eternity such losses are repaired and our society broken up by death will be restored this is a very sufficient consolation for the children of God when their parents and friends have received the efficacious remedies of the Holy sacraments before dying which they ought always to procure without delay let us keep our hearts in repose and without bitterness but let us have courage if there be need to close the eyes of our dear departed one giving him the kiss of peace after which let us render without much pomp the little honours which the Christian custom requires according to the state and condition of everyone especially let us see that the prayers are said and other pious exercises performed exactly according to the intention of the deceased for fear he may have need of some expiation through the severity of the divine judgment that he may not be long of the enjoyment of a full and glorious Liberty that his soul may not be imprisoned through some of God's inscrutable secrets for a time in purgatory before being received into the arms of the divine goodness in heaven by this last journey friendships and associations commenced in this world are renewed never more to suffer interruption in the meantime let us have patience and wait courageously until the bell for our departure Tolls we shall then go to that place where our friends have already arrived and since we have cordially loved them let us continue to love them let us do for love of them that which they wished we should do and for ourselves that which they now desire however I am on my guard against saying do not weep for it is very just that you should weep a little as a testimony to the sincere affection you bear towards the dear departed this will be to imitate Jesus Christ who wept a little over Lazarus his good friend but it is on condition that those exterior demonstrations should be moderate and that those sighs and sobs should not be so much tokens of regret as marks of tenderness let us not weep like those who altogether attach to this life consider not that we go to eternity where if we shall have lived well in this life we shall meet again our dear departed Nevermore to be separated from them we are not able to prevent our poor heart from feeling the loss of those who were here below our amiable companions but still we must not break the solemn resolution we have taken to keep our will inseparably United to that of God nor cease to say to divine providence yes thou art blessed for all that which pleases the is good I weep on such occasions and my heart which is like a stone on heavenly things pours out tears over such subjects the imaginary and sensibility of those who do not wish us to be men has always appeared to me Kai miracle but at the same time after we have paid our tribute to the inferior part of the soul we must do our duty to the superior part in which is seated as on a throne the spirit of faith which ought to console us in our flick shion's and even by our flexions blessed are they who rejoice in being afflicted and who thus transform quassia into honey god be praised it is always with tranquility I weep always with a great sentiment of loving confidence in divine providence for since our Lord loved death and delivered it as an object for our love I cannot wish it Hill for taking away my sisters and others provided that they die in the love of the holy death of the Savior I regard this frail life as such a trifle that I never turned to God with sweeter sentiments of love and when he has stricken me or permitted me to be afflicted I presume you have so much love and fear of God that seeing his good pleasure and his holy will you accommodate yourself through them and sweeten your grief by the consideration of the miseries of this world we cannot prevent ourselves from feeling much regret at separation and this regret is not forbidden us provided we moderate it with the hope of not remaining entirely separated but consider that in a little time we shall follow our friends to heaven the place of our repose God showing us this mercy raise up your eyes often to heaven and see that this life is only a passage to eternity four or five months absence will soon be over and if our senses amused with be holding and prising this world in its life make us resent a little too sharply that which is contrary to us let us often correct this defect by the light of faith which ought to make us judge those most happy who in the fewest days have finished their voyage oh how desirable is eternity at the cost of some miserable vicissitudes every day my soul grows in love and esteem for eternal things what time flow by with which we hasten on to be transformed into the glory of the children of God how incomparably more amiable is eternity since its duration is without end and its days are without nights and its contentment are without variation oh if once we had our heart well penetrated with the thought of this holy and blessed eternity go we should say to our friends go dear friends to the Supreme Being at the hour which the king of eternity is marked we shall follow after you and since time has given us only for this purpose and that the world is peopled only two people heaven we will do all that we can to render ourselves worthy of it yes truly the journey of our friends to a better life is most amiable since it happens only to people heaven and to increase the glory of our King one day we shall go to rejoin them and while awaiting that day let us carefully learn the canticle of holy love that we may be able to sing it more perfectly in eternity blessed are they who placed not their confidence in the present life who esteem it only as a plank which to pass to the celestial life in which alone we should center all our hopes but David weep over his Absalom hanged and lost but over the departure of him who has accepted death willingly who has received the efficacious remedies of the Holy Church before dying there is more occasion to be consoled and afflicted for having lived well he is not dead but saved from death since virtuous men do not die living in heaven by the Magnificent recompense of their merits and on earth by the glorious memory of their good deeds oh if we could hear the sweet and amiable words of some deceased one now happy he would say to us my dearly beloved I beseech you to consider that I am in the place which I so much desired where I am consoled for all my past Labor's which have merited for me the glory of immortality why do you not console' yourselves with me when I was on earth you made profession of loving me and sometimes seeing me succeed happily you rejoiced and congratulated with me Oh am I not always the same person why then are you afflicted at my departure since God has given me so much glory no I desire everything else from you but sorrow and regret if you have tears keep them to weep over the miseries of the world and also over your sins do you not know that the evils of the wretched life in which you live are such that you aren't rather to praise God for having taken me away from them then be dejected the first to leave it only find themselves the more fortunate when they have lived with care of their salvation no one is esteemed before God for having lived long but for having lived well a single anxiety now presses on me it is that you should despise being in the body those things of which you shall have no more need when out of the body and that you so live amid the prosperity of the world that you may not dread its adversity assuring yourself that you shall very soon meet again with your dear departed ones never more to be separated from them through all eternity would to God that all the children of Adam reflected attentively on these beautiful truths certainly they would not be so ardent or so eager after pleasures and vanities for they would see clearly that all they have esteemed until the present is nothing but nothingness the wages of death the lore of Satan the bait of hell and by means of this clear knowledge United with a firm and determined resolution they would draw from temporal death help and succour to avoid the eternal it is related that Alexander the Great sailing on the high seas first and off himself discovered Arabia Felix by the odor of the aromatic woods which grew there and thus formed the desire of conquering the country in like manner those who seek the eternal country those sailing on the high seas of worldly business have a certain foretaste of heaven which wonderfully animates and encourages them but it is necessary to stand at the boughs and to turn towards that side chapter 2 - a poor mother on the death of her child in infancy behold my dear daughter your son is secure he possesses the everlasting crown behold him escaped and preserved from the risk of being lost to which we see so many persons expose tell me mighty not with age have become a debauchee might you not have received much grief from him if he had lived as so many other mothers have received from their children for my daughter we often receive it from those from whom we least expect it and now God has drawn him away from all these dangers making him gather the fruits of victory without battle and reap the harvest of glory without labor in your own opinion my dear daughter or not your vials and your devotions well recommenced you made them for him but that he might remain with you in this valley of tears our Lord who understands best what is good for us has heard your prayers in favor of the child for whom you offered them but at the expense of the temporal contentment switch you thought in truth I approve very much of the confession you make that it is on account of your sins this child has been taken away for this proceeds from humility but still I do not believe that it is grounded on truth no my dear daughter it is not to chastise you but to favour this child that God has saved it so soon at the close of our days when our eyes are opened we shall see that this life is so little a thing that we need not regret those who lose it first the shortest is about the best provided it conducts to the eternal but come behold your little child in heaven among the angels and the holy innocence it knows the pleasure you took in caring for it during the brief time you had it in charge and above all the devotions you practiced for it in return it prays to God for you and sends up a thousand good wishes for your life that it may be made more and more conformal to the celestial will and that you may thus gain the happiness which it enjoys remain in peace my dearest daughter and keep your heart in heaven where you possess this brave little Saint persevere in desiring always to love more and more faithfully the supreme will oh how happy for this child to have flown away to heaven like a little angel almost before having touched the earth what a pledge you have on high my dearest daughter but I am sure you have treated heart-to-heart with our Savior on this affair and that he has already sued the natural tenderness of your mother's love and that you may have many times pronounced with all your heart the filial protestation which our Lord has taught us yay eternal father for so it hath pleased thee and it is good that it should be so oh my daughter if you have done this you are happily dead with your child in our divine Saviour and your life is hidden with him in God and when he will appear who is your life you also shall appear with him in glory this is the mode of speaking adopted by the Holy Ghost in Scripture we suffer we die with those whom we love by the affection that binds us to them and when they suffer and die in our Lord and we acquiesce by patients in their sufferings and demise for love of him who for love of us was pleased to suffer and to die we suffer and die with them all these pains amassed my dearest daughter our inestimable spiritual riches as we shall one day know when for light Labor's we shall behold eternal recompense 'as employ the greatness of your courage to moderate the greatness of the grief which the greatness of your law has occasioned you let us sweetly acquiesce in the decrees of Providence which are always just always holy always adorable though dark and impenetrable to us chapter 3 - a father on the death of his son you have considered well that this dear child belonged to God more than to you who held him only in trust from the sovereign liberality and if Providence has judged that it was time to withdraw him we must believe that it has acted thus for his good in which so far the father as you take such delight our life is not so pleasant that those who escape from it need be much lamented it appears to me that this son has gained much for himself by leaving the world almost before he had arrived in it the name of death is terrible and it is usually proposed to us for someone says your dear father is dead or your son is dead this is not well spoken among Christians we should say your son or your father is gone to his country into yours and because necessity requires it he passed by the way of death in which he lingered not I certainly do not know how we can regard as our country this world in which we remain for so short a time compared with heaven in which we shall dwell forever let us go forward then and be more assured of the presence of our dear friends who are above none of those who are here below for these allow us to go and delay as long as they can after us and if they go like us it is against their choice and if any remains of sadness still weigh down your mind for the Parcher of this sweet soul cast yourself on your knees before the heart of our crucified Savior and ask his assistance he will give it to you and will inspire you with the thought and the resolution to prepare yourself well to make in your turn at the appointed hour the same passage by which you may happily arrive at the place where we ought to hope our poor but blessed deceased is now safely lodged end of book 4 chapter 3 book 4 chapters four through six of the consoling thoughts of st. Francis DeSales by jean-joseph Oh gay this LibriVox recording is in the public domain book for consoling thoughts on Eternity chapter 4 - a mother on the death of her son killed in war how much is my soul in pain for your heart my dearest mother before I seem to see this poor maternal heart all filled with an excessive anguish and anguish yet which we cannot blame or consider strange if we remember how amiable was the son whose second removal from among us is now the subject of our affliction my dearest mother it is true this dear son was one of the most amiable that ever lived all who knew him knew it and acknowledged it but is not this a great part of the consolation we ought now to feel my dearest mother for in truth it seems to me that those whose lives are worthy of memory and esteem live even after their departure since we take so much pleasure in calling them to mind and representing them to the minds of those who still remain he is gone from this world into that which is the most desirable of all and to which we must all go everyone in his season and where you will see him sooner than you would perhaps have seen him if he had remained in this new world amid the fatigues of conquest which he undertook for his King and for the church in a word he has ended his mortal days in his duty and then the obligations of his word this kind of end is excellent and we should not doubt but that the great God has rendered it happy as he continually favored him from the cradle with His grace to live in a most Christian manner we should enter into the designs of the admirable Providence of God and rest in its ordinances with a holy confidence that it does all things for the best and perhaps has purified this good soul here by the fire of war to save it from that of purgatory in short we may allow afflictions to enter our hearts but we must not allow them to take up their residence their God your good angel and the wisdom you have acquired by long experience will suggest these thoughts better to you than anything I could say behold yourself now divested and deprived of the most beautiful garment you ever wore plus the name of God who gave it and who has taken it away and His divine majesty will hold the place of children to you be consoled my dearest mother and let your mind be solaced adoring the divine providence which does all things most sweetly and though the motives of its decrees are hidden yet the certainty of its benignity is manifest and obliges us to believe that it does everything in perfect goodness I would willingly say to you as a remedy for your sorrow that he who would exempt his heart from the ills of Earth must conceal it in heaven and as david says we must hide our soul in the secrets of God's countenance and in the depths of his holy Tabernacle look well to eternity to which you tend you will find that whatever does not refer to that unending duration should not affect your courage this dear son has passed from one world to another under good auspices in the fulfillment of his duty towards God and the King no longer look upon this journey but in the light of eternity let us not be grieved my daughter we shall soon be all reunited we advance continually and draw near to that country where our departed ones are and in two or three moments we shall arrive there place your heart I beg of you my dearest daughter at the foot of the cross and accept the death and the life of all those whom you love for love of him who gave His life and received his death for you you are almost ready to start to the place where this amiable child now dwells but while awaiting the hour of setting sail calm your maternal heart by the consideration of that Holy eternity to which he has gone and to which you are going though you cannot write to him sometimes as you would wish you can speak to God for him and he will immediately know all that you would wish him to know and will receive all the assistance which you may render to him by devotions and good works as soon as you will have performed and delivered them into the hands of his divine majesty repress your to eager desire to know where this dear deceased one now is in the other life and when you find your mind engaged on this pursuit you should instantly turn it to our Lord with these or the like words Oh Lord how sweet is thy Providence and how good is thy mercy oh how happy for this dear child to have fallen into thy paternal arms where he cannot but be safe in whatever place he is yes for it is necessary to guard against thinking of any other place than paradise or purgatory since thanks be to God there is no reason for thinking otherwise withdraw then your mind thus and employ it in acts of love towards our crucified Lord when you recommend this child to the divine majesty say simply Oh Lord I recommend to the the child of my bowels but much more the child of the bowels of thy mercy formed of my blood but redeemed by thine chapter 5 to a lady on the death of her father but now my very dear daughter it is necessary that your heart should henceforth endure the absence of your good father since divine providence has been pleased at length to draw him out of this miserable mortal life in which we live dying and continually die living as for me my daughter I do not wish to present you with any other consolation and that of Jesus Christ crucified at the sight of whom your faith will console you for after the death of our Savior every death is happy to those who like the deceased of whom I speak die within the pale and with the assistance of Holy Church and whoever glories in the death of our Lord will never be afflicted at the death of those whom he has redeemed and received as his own I am accustomed to say to all the souls who addressed themselves to me that we must lift up our hearts on high as the church says during the Holy Sacrifice live then with great and generous thoughts attached to that holy Providence which disposes of mortal moments only in order to eternal life the heart thus nobly lifted up is always humble for it is established on truth and not on vanity it is sweet and peaceful for it makes no account of that which might trouble it but when I say that it is sweet and peaceful I do not mean to say that it has no sorrows or sentiments of affliction no indeed my dear daughter I do not say that but I say that sufferings pains tribulations are all accompanied with such a strong resolution to endure them for God that their bitterness however bitter it may be is received in peace and tranquility as for the rest this grievous separation is so much the less hard as it will continue for the less time and we not only expect but we aspire to that happy repose in which this beautiful soul is now or will soon be lodged let us accept I beseech you agreeably the little delay we must make here below and instead of multiplying tears over ourselves offer them for it to our Lord that he may be pleased to hasten its reception into the arms of his divine goodness if he has not already granted it this grace chapter 6 to a lady on the death of her husband my god how frail is this life and how fleeting are its consolations one moment they appear and the next they are gone and if it were not for the Holy eternity to which all our days tend we should have much reason indeed to mourn over our human conditioned the thoughts of men are vain and useless to comfort a heart so much afflicted as yours God alone as the master and consoler of hearts he alone calm souls of goodwill that is to say those who hope in him the interior words spoken by God to the afflicted heart which has recourse to his goodness are sweeter than honey and more salutary than the most precious ball the heart that is united to the heart of God cannot be prevented from loving and accepting lovingly the arrows which his hand shoots at it for so long a time you have served God and studied in the school of his cross that you ought to accept this cross not only patiently but sweetly and affectionately in consideration of him who bore his and was born upon it even to death and of her who having only one son but a son of incomparable love saw him die on the cross with eyes full of tears and a heart full of sorrow yet a sweet sorrow in favor of our salvation and that of the whole world now the sovereign goodness will undoubtedly incline towards you and come into your heart to aid you in this tribulation if you cast yourself into its arms and resign yourself into its paternal hands God gave you this husband he has taken him away withdrawing him to himself he is obliged to be favourable to you in your afflictions all things considered we must accommodate our hearts to the condition of the present life it is a perishable life and death which rules over it observes no regular order sometimes taking here sometimes there without any preference or method the good among the bad and the young among the old oh how blessed are they living in continual mistrust of death are always ready to die that so they may be able to live forever in that life where there is no more death assuredly my dear lady the greatest desire your husband had at his departure was that you should not languish long and the regret which his absence would cause you but they you should endeavour to moderate for love of him the affection which his love gave you and now in the happiness which he enjoys or which he confidently awaits he wishes you a holy consolation and that is waging your tribulation you should preserve your eyes for some better employment than that of tears and your mind for some more desirable occupation than that of sadness and since true friendship makes us rejoice in the just satisfaction of our friend I beg of you to please your husband console yourself solace your mind and raise your courage and if the counsel I give you with the utmost sincerity is agreeable to you practice it prostrating yourself before our Lord acquiescing in his appointments considering the soul of this dear deceased as desiring for yours a true and Christian fortitude abandoning yourself entirely to the celestial vigilance of the Saviour of your soul your protector who will aid and succor you and their length restore you to your departed one not as a wife to her husband but as an air of heaven to a co here little by little God severs us from the contentment of this world we must then more ardently aspire after those of immortality and keep our hearts lifted up to heaven where our expectations are settled and where we have already a great many of the friends we love may the name of our Lord before ever blessed and may his love ever live and reign in the midst of our hearts end of book 4 chapter 6 book 4 chapters seven through nine of the consoling thoughts of st. Francis DeSales by jean-joseph who gay this LibriVox recording is in the public domain book for consoling thoughts on Eternity chapter 7 on the death of a brother my dear brother for I am in the place of him whom our good God has taken to be near himself I am told that you weep continually for this truly sensible separation there is no necessity that this should be so either you weep for him or for yourself if for him why weep since our brother is in paradise where tears are unknown if for yourself is there not self love in it I speak freely with you in as much as one would suppose you loved your own more than his happiness which is beyond conception and would you wish that on your account he should not be with him who gives us life motion and being us especially who acquiesce in his holy pleasure and divine will but come to see us and frequently and we shall change tears into joy remembering together that in which our good brother rejoices and which will never be taken away from him and in fine think often thus there on and on him and you will live joyful as I desire for you with all my heart chapter 8 on the death of a father oh my dearest daughter what can I say to you on this departure I doubt not but God has care of your heart in these occurrences and that if he wounds with one hand he applies his balm with the other he strikes and heals he kills and makes alive and so long as we can lift up our eyes and behold the celestial Providence anguish cannot overwhelm us but enough my dearest daughter God and you're a good angel having consoled you I shall not put my hand to it your most bitter bitterness is in peace what need is there for still speaking of it in proportion as God draws to himself piece after piece the treasures which our heart had collected here below that is to say those whom we loved he draws our heart itself there too and since I have no longer a father said st. Francis I shall say more freely our Father who art in heaven my dearest daughter often extend your views even to heaven we are wrong if we regard our parents our friends our contentment as objects on which we can establish our hearts are we I ask you in this world on any other conditions than those of the rest of men or then those of the perpetual and constancy in which everything has been established we must repose our intentions on the Holy eternity to which we aspire opie sub the human heart nowhere to be found but in glory and on the cross of Jesus Christ live thus and often rejoice your heart with the confident expectation of enjoying forever a blessed and immutable immortality chapter nine how much the thought of heaven ought to console us the end of man is the clear vision and enjoyment of God which he hopes to obtain in heaven blessed then is he who employs this short mortal life to acquire an eternal good referring the transitory days here below to the day of immortality and applying all the perishable moments which remain to him to gain a holy eternity the true light of heaven will not fail to show him the secure course and to conduct him happily into the harbor of everlasting Felicity the rivers flow incessantly and as the wise man says returned to the sea which is the place of their Nativity and is also their last resting place all their motion tends only to unite them with their original source o God says st. Augustine thou has created my heart for thyself and never can it find repose but in thee what have I in heaven and what do I desire on earth but thee my god thou art the God of my heart and my portion forever behold in detail a few points which we have to believe on this subject firstly there is a paradise a place of eternal glory a most perfect state in which all goods are assembled and where there is no evil a world of wonders replete with felicity incomparable and Happiness infinitely surpassing every expectation the house of God and the palace of the blessing a most lovely and desirable City and so precious that all the beauties of the world put together are nothing in comparison with its excellence so that no one can conceive the infinite greatness of the abyss 'as of its delights consider that for an eternity the fortunate souls there will enjoy the happiness of seeing God give himself all to all and hearing the eternal son say benignly to his father my father I wish that those whom thou hast given me may be eternally with me and that they may see the glory which I have had from thee before the creation of the world and turning to his dear children did I not tell you that whoever would love me would be loved by my father and that we would manifest ourselves to him then this holy company inundated with pleasure in the bosom of the divinity will sing the eternal Alleluia of joy and praise to its creator secondly the soul purified from all sin entering heaven will that instant behold God himself unveiled face to face as he is contemplating by a view of true and real presence the proper divine essence and in it infinite beauties the sweet st. Bernard while yet young being at chattel all sir sin on Christmas night waited in the church until the commencement of the Divine Office as the poor child waited he fell into a light slumber during which he saw in spirit and the vision was quite clear and distinct how the son of God having espoused human nature and become a little infant in the bowels of his mother was with an humble gentleness and the celestial Majesty originally born of her sacred womb a vision which so filled his heart with jubilation that all his life he had a tender recollection of it and the thought of the mystery of the Nativity of his master always brought him spiritual joy and extraordinary consolation alas if an unsubstantial vision of the temporal birth of the Son of God so powerfully ravished and delighted the heart of a child what will it be when our minds gloriously illumined by the Blessed light of glory will see that eternal birth by which the Sun proceeds true God of True God divinely and eternally born of the father then will the soul be deified filled with God and made like to God by an eternal and immutable participation of God uniting himself to it as fire does to the iron which it penetrates communicating its light brilliancy heat and other qualities in such a manner that both seem one in the same fire as God has given us the light of reason by which we can know him as the author of nature and the light of faith by which we consider him as the source of grace so he will give us the light of glory by which we shall contemplate him as the fountain of beatitude in life eternal yet a fountain that we shall not contemplate from afar as we now do by the light of faith but a fountain that we shall see by the light of glory plunged and lost in it thirdly the soul will be happy forever amid the nobility and variety of the citizens and inhabitants of that blessed country with its millions of millions of angels of cherubim of Seraphim its troupe of apostles of martyrs of confessors of virgins of holy women whose number is without number oh how happy is this company the least of the Blessed is more beautiful to behold than the whole world what will it be to see them all they sing the sweet canticle of eternal love they ever rejoice in an unceasing gladness they interchange unspeakable content and they live in the consolations of a happy and indissoluble society but Oh God if sincere human friendship is so agreeable what will it be - behold the reciprocal love of the Blessed certainly the hearts of the citizens of heaven will be a BIST in love through admiration of the beauty and sweetness of such a love fourthly in Paradise God will give himself all to all and not in parts since he is a whole which has no parts but still he will give himself variously and with as many differences as there will be blessed guests as star differs from star and brightness so men will be different one from the other in glory in proportion as they will have been different in graces and merits and as there are probably no two men equal in charity in this world so there will probably be no two equal in glory in the next consider how delightful it must be to see that City where the Great King sits on the throne of his majesty surrounded by all his blessed servants there are found the choirs of angels and the company of celestial men there are found the venerable troupe of the prophets the chosen number of the apostles the victorious army of innumerable martyrs the August rank of pontiff's the sacred flock of confessors the true and perfect religious the holy women the humble widows the pure virgins the glory of everyone is not equal but nevertheless they all taste one and the same pleasure for theirs the reign of fool and perfect charity one ray of glory one drop of the love of the Blessed is of more value has more efficacy and Mary more esteem than all other kinds of knowledge and love which ever could enter into the hearts of mortal men fifthly notwithstanding the variety and diversity of glory yet each blessed soul contemplating the infinite beauty of God and the abyss of infinity that remains to be seen in this same beauty feels perfectly satisfied and satiated and is content with the glory it enjoys according to the rank it holds in heaven on account of the most amiable divine providence which has so arranged everything what a joy to be environment on all sides with incredible pleasures and as a most happy bird to fly and sing forever in the air of the divinity what a favour after a million Langer's pains and fatigues endured in this mortal life after endless desires for the eternal truth never fully satisfied in this world to see oneself in the haven of all tranquillity and to have at length reached the living and mighty source of the fresh waters of undying life which alone can extinguish the passions and satiate the human heart we are always to have the eternal days in our mind and in consideration of them nothing will appear impossible did not David say because of the words of thy mouth I have walked in hard and difficult ways and what are the words of the lips of our Lord if not the words of eternal life st. Peter had reason to say to whom Oh Lord shall we go now has the words of eternal life this is that eternal life to which our Lord in Genesis wish to move Cain when he said to him if thou do well shalt thou not receive recompense this is that eternal life for which the good man Jacob called himself a pilgrim the days he answered King Pharaoh of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty years few and evil and they are not come up to the days of the pilgrimage of my father's I am mindful of the ancient days and I have in my thoughts the eternal years eternal life when well-considered is sufficient to move the hardest heart in the beginning during the first fervor of the order of st. Dominic there was a preacher named Reginald who preached at Bologna with incredible fruit there was in the city a lurid and rich man who for fear of being converted would not attend a single sermon though others flocked in crowds at length however he ventured on st. Stephen's Day and hearing a discourse on the words I see the heavens opened he was converted and became a religious for eternal life David inclined his will and heart to observe the commandments of God st.

distinguished service professor indian emeritus in the bloomberg school of public health at johns hopkins university with joint affiliations in epidemiology health systems international health and the center for global health he's an ophthalmologist and a professor of ophthalmology at johns hopkins school of medicine he's recipient of the danone international prize for nutrition albert lasker award for clinical medical research and he serves as the chair of lasker foundation's board of directors to extensively research multiple aspects of vitamin a deficiency please join me in welcoming dr summers he discusses peregrinations of a physician scientist on site and life well thank you i think this is going to be a little bit different than most of the presentations that you've been sitting through and i i hope you can stay awake so we'll see who we go here unfortunately i have no financial interest whatsoever so william farr 1837 medical science will advance not by opinions and assertions but by registering facts by applying that mighty instrument of natural science arithmetic we're going to do a lot of arithmetic in the next half hour it does scare me a little that it's a new philosophy that we use evidence-based medicine i don't know what our patients think we were doing a couple of years ago so zora hurston i think is a wonderful definition of research formalized curiosity and of course woody allen a famous philosopher 80 of success is showing up and you've got to show up in order to find the interesting questions to ask now i began my journey a long time ago and one of the things i got involved with accidentally very early and that was smallpox so following a civil war what was then east pakistan where i had been living and was evacuated from i got sent back 18 months later by cdc as a part of a three-person group to set up a small box control activities during the war there had been 10 million refugees who were living in india in refugee camps and smallpox broke out in the camps there are many people who think that india entered the war and thereby ended it with pakistan because smallpox broke out in the camps and they did not want the smallpox spreading through india so just imagine 10 million refugees going through migrating back to their home villages spreading smallpox as they go through an unimmunized population so the first place i went uh was a place called kula municipality which had the largest outbreak when i first reached there now we already had a strategy which was not the strategy under which the global eradication program of smallbox was set up that program was set up with the very simple thesis that there are no animal carriers so if we vaccinate everybody in the world there will be no more smallpox now there's one little problem with that approach it's impossible to vaccinate everyone in the world and so bill finke came up with an alternative approach working in nigeria which was to find every case of smallpox and vaccinate everyone who has been in contact with them and everyone who is in contact with those so that's what we now call ring vaccination we used to call it surveillance and containment but there actually had until that time been no demonstration that this ring vaccination would work so i am genetically compulsively designed to collect data so even though my job was to train local staff and get them out there and vaccinate all the people need to be vaccinated i insisted that they go back repeatedly every two days to every family in which there had been a smallpox case and see what happened to them and because of that we were able to demonstrate that in fact within 10 days to two weeks of beginning our control activities in fact we could bring the epidemics to a halt this was the first demonstration in fact that ring vaccination worked and that's the paper in which it was published now you also have to keep your radar on which means think about things that are happening around you that provide you with opportunities to collect data and prove points now that original study was roughly 30 years before 9 11. and for those of you who remember after the tragedy of 9 11 president bush decided that it would be a good idea to vaccinate 10 million first responders with smallpox vaccine i didn't think this was such a good idea because smallpox vaccine is a very nasty vaccine and even some otherwise healthy people in fact will develop disseminated vaccinia and die and they will pass it on to others and i was thinking about this and went to a meeting in bangkok this just shows you how current it was even the new yorker was carrying cartoons about smallpox so i was at a meeting in bangkok about a week or two later uh with josh schlederberg and josh and i uh were talking about this recommendation josh thought it was a good idea josh very was a very smart guy but he had never actually dealt with smallpox so i said no that's a really terrible idea he said but what if somebody gets uh exposed to a case of smallpox a terrorist and a an emergency room i said well that's there's no problem they have six days to get vaccinated if we keep smallpox vaccine uh strategically located around the united states all we need to do is vaccinate them and within six days after infection will still break and just says you know al i've never seen that data where's that data and i said i don't know i know i've seen it i'm pretty sure it's published let me think about it flying on the plane back over the pacific from bangkok to baltimore i remembered where i had seen it it was my own data i had published in the american journal of epidemiology and it was an accompanying that material that i just previously showed you now this is a little bit uh confusing so bear with me for a moment so smallpox has an incubation period of about 14 days so let's assume a field worker goes to a house up here somewhere and i make that field worker go back to the house every two days so they come back two days later anybody who now has clinically apparent smallpox was probably incubating the disease for 12 days then they come back two days later or day four anybody who has smallpox a new case new clinical small box was incubating that disease for 10 days and so forth and so on and this is the onset of smallpox rash of people who they vaccinated at the beginning and their first visit and this is the onset of ration people who they had not vaccinated and as you can see when you get to six days of presumptive post-infection you start to get a dramatic falloff of basically disappearance of the onset of disease so it's a back calculation i had to reread it four times before i could understand how i did this that then went round the world i must have gotten that my own paper on 100 different listservs we then had an iom meeting which had already been scheduled about two weeks later tony fauci was the opening speaker i was the cleanup speaker at the end of the session and his opening slide was this data so it did make an impact even if it was 30 years after the fact the other thing i like to tell young faculty and students is look for hooks find interesting opportunities where perhaps people made an observation but didn't do it the way you thought you'd do it now this is just to prove that in fact at one time i was an ophthalmologist that's that me operating over there i haven't done that in a long time and paul threatens to reduce my salary because of that so as a as a resident i had discovered what i thought was a treasure trove of material i mean it's really great to work on data that somebody else is laboriously collected so over a 10-year period there had been a study called the collaborative glaucoma study in which ten institutions but uh hopkins the wilmar eye institute where i was training had uniquely taken photos of the backs of the eye of 200 patients who are presumed to be at high risk of developing open-angle glaucoma and an equal number of controls usually their spouses and so i had about 5 000 photographs of the back of the eye and i had been studying and looking to see if i could differentiate earlier than had been the case patients with open angle glaucoma because a patient with upper ankle glacoma will not notice it until they've lost 95 percent of their optic nerve and the earliest tests that we have for definitely uh diagnosing disease you've already lost at least 50 percent of your optic nerve so we're not very good at early diagnosis well hoyt at ucsf had made an observation which he published only as a letter to the editor of the lancet that in a number of glaucoma cases he had noticed forget this that's just a little disc hemorrhage but over here as you can see it's a fainter part of the retina that's because the nerve fibrillae is gone there and he found that he felt he could find these slits these missing nerve fiber layer defects relatively early in the course of glaucoma and a colleague of mine neil miller who was two years ahead of me of the residency and just come back as my chief president was going on about this was a terrific diagnostic test i said well neil i mean have you you know the sensitivity of the test you know the specificity of tests did you do any of this stuff you know blinded no we hadn't done any of that so here i had all i didn't have to do 10 years worth of looking at 200 patients and 200 controls all i had to do is take out there a random sample because i knew he wasn't going to look at the 2000 slides i had looked at so i took out all those patients who had in fact converted by our traditional visual field techniques to having glaucoma and controls blocked out their optic nerve so that would not give them a hint i gave him only 120 slides and i said you come back tomorrow and tell me which of these has a nerve fiber layer defect and which doesn't some of the patients had converted some of them hadn't converted and some of them had converted you know four years into the study eight years into the study and some of them made with continuous changes so he went home that night and he came back with his results and this is what i got which was pretty exciting for a third year resident what you can basically see here is that three years before patients developed a definitive visual field defect we could detect over half of them by this nerve fiber layer assessment and he almost had about a .001 percent false positive rate so this looked pretty terrific to me so we sent this off a publication and one journal in summary this paper suffers from the pitfalls of a retrospective study i don't know how they expected us to do it used photographs yes not appropriate for evaluating nerve fiber bundles when nobody had a more appropriate technique at the time you go with what you got controls were inappropriate there was observer bias i don't know where the observer bias came from and i don't know why the controls were inappropriate so they didn't like it so much it was accepted and this was about the most lukewarm acceptance i've ever gotten this study is interesting and bound to stir some controversy about the conclusions which seem hardly justifiable but they published it i i keep a collection of both my interesting acceptances and all the rejections and there are many of those well that is the paper that came out in our fibre layer diagnosis of the glaucoma and a number of people would meet me at meetings and say do you really believe that well we then conducted a few more studies so this is the number of publications that have in the title if you did a pubmed search nerve fiber layer in the title before that first paper and then after a couple of nih grants and publishing a bunch of prospective studies you know the numbers simply climbed and while i have no financial disclosures a lot of people have made a lot of money putting together machines that in fact evaluate the nerve fiber layer for the diagnosis of glaucoma but the long story i'm going to tell you is vitamin a deficiency and xerophthalmia an eye condition now a grant which was sent to an rrc review proposal because it was quite expensive and i was going to live overseas in indonesia to do this study um and it was going to cost a lot and the nrc review gra review committee concluded that the study was far too ambitious because it has three or four studies together and recommended it not being funded fortunately the council decided to fund it anyway and you can see why you can't trust reviewers too much so this slide is simply to prove two things one is i'm examining a child in indonesia and two that i once had hair and this is so we did complete examinations of children who came to the hospital and tried to evaluate and understand the clinical changes that occurred in vitamin deficiency and then did a whole bunch of field studies so let me tell you a little bit about what we then call this is in the 1970s early mild vitamin a deficiency and that was characterized by an ocular manifestation night blindness so a child who is night blind uh would sit would not be able to see at dusk or dawn would sit in a corner of their hut in the evening would not find their food would not walk around the village now you've all actually had this experience if you go out on a bright sunny day and then go into a movie theater you can't see when you go inside it takes about a minute before you can start to see the seat so what's happened is your rods were bleached by the sunlight outside and when you went inside the rhodopsin was regenerated well to regenerate your adoption you need vitamin a because it's actually a constituent of the visual cycle and but these children don't have vitamin a so they can't regenerate rhodopsin so they can't use their rods so they can't see under levels of low light the cones worked so they can see under sunlight but they can't see under low light and then the next manifestation is fairly mild it's just this little keratinized surface on the conjunctiva because vitamin a is also important for the development of epithelial mucous secreting epithelial tissues throughout the body this is happening not just to the eye but it's happening as well to the respiratory tract the gi tract and other places and then and this is a very rare phenomenon the cornea starts to melt usually when you see it clinically the whole cornea is melted and i'll show you that picture which is pretty devastating but the first time i saw a child came into the clinic with this localized area i had no idea what it was i thought it might be a tumor or something and i i was thinking i might be biopsying it but i looked at it under the slab and it was clear that was a corneal epithelium over it and this was localized character malaysia now if we had not treated this child that would have within an hour would have involved the entire cornea so i decided well you know i think this is carol malaysia very localized hadn't seen that before i'll need to treat it so the recommended treatment for acute xerothalamia certainly corneal involvement as recommended by the world health organization just two years earlier based on rat experiments because nobody had actually done the studies in humans was that you had to give a water miscible preparation by intramuscular injection of 100 000 units of vitamin a so i blithely turned to my indonesian colleagues at this eye hospital where i was working i said you know let me have an intramuscular injection of water miscible vitamin a and it looked at me like i was crazy which i was because there was no commercially available water miscible vitamin a anywhere in the world this has been a recommendation by what the pharmaceutical industry had entirely ignored because nobody had actually followed up so remembering back those rat trials it seemed to me that the orally administered oily vitamin a given orally actually was reasonably well absorbed given intramuscularly which was the traditional way of treating this it sat there like a lump in the muscle and didn't do anything so i took a vial of oil miscible vitamin a and squirted into the kid's mouth and he got better but i immediately tell x because we had telex on email in those days friends at roche and asked them if they would prepare some of this water missible vitamin a for me and they were very happy to do it but it took them three or four months by the time they formulated it did toxicity testing and then got approval from the indonesian government to be able to import it into the country and so by the time it arrived i'm thinking i'm not sure we need this expensive water miscible preparation that needs a health worker and a sterile syringe and needle in order to treat a fairly common condition anyway so this child of course got oh so here's uh so when the stuff came i said well you know there were no irbs in those days but i probably could have defended this i'm going to run a randomized trial here so half the children that showed up with corneal ulcers over the next month or so were randomized to either get oil miscible vitamin a by mouth or water miscible vitamin a by injection and as you can see the clinical response whether it was or a lot was identical for six or eight days almost 100 percent of them are cured and very nicely this doesn't happen all that often in medical research we were able to measure serum vitamin a is two ways the traditional way it was done in those days measured retinol and unfortunately the technique then used measured not only the active form of vitamin a that's when it's bound to its carrier protein and called holo rbp along with retinal esters but my indonesian colleagues actually had just come back from liverpool and for his doctoral thesis had developed a way to measure the active form of vitamin a so when we looked at serum vitamin a it was then generally done it really looked you got a much better response from the intramuscular injection of the water miscible vitamin a but if you look at the holo rbp response the active form there's essentially no difference so that was the child before i gave him the vitamin a and that was a child one week later and as you can see he's got this small scar over here and a clear pupillary visual access and childhood excellent vision and that is now the standard treatment for xerophthalmy and that's the paper demonstrate that now this is the terrible form a child comes in total care to malaysia the entire cornea is gone there's nothing you can do for that but you may be able to save the other eye if you treat the child early so i go to ministers of health and with our epidemiologic studies we're able to determine that there are about 63 000 new cases of corneal ulceration that's blindness in indonesia every year about half a million in asia as a whole and we were able to show that with a two cent capsule given twice a year we could prevent this blinding disease so the question comes is that enough of a problem and solution to drive policy and the answer was no and the ministers of health in all fairness said look al we spend one dollar a year on the health of children now where would you like us to take these four cents from away from immunization programs for moral rehydration i mean i could have i would have said for moral rehydration but in any case we found we found something else that was interesting so here's a child a classic child with keratomolation indonesian child so there it is that eye has keratoblalation this high has corneal cirrhosis it would develop charitable malaysia within a few days if we hadn't treated children with charitable asia are really sick kids i mean you can see this child is severely malnourished it's got kwashiorkors marasmic severe potential malnutrition they all have diarrhea they have pneumonia they have about a 95 percent mortality rate in the village and even a 25 mortality rate in the hospital so it's no surprise that children as severely deficient as a child with charitable malaysia have an extraordinarily high mortality rate but here was the interesting observation observations this is a child who obviously is well nourished doesn't have diarrhea doesn't have measles doesn't have pneumonia and has pretty good-looking eyes but was brought in because he had night blindness what we then called mild early vitamin a deficiency now one of the studies we had set up in the field was to better understand why some children get vitamin deficiency in xerothalmia and the children next door don't so we examined 5 000 children at baseline and would come back every three months and for 18 months so they had six intervals of follow-up and in each follow-up we do an eye examination a pediatric examination a nutritional history what have you and to see if we could identify things that made these children different and some of them at the beginning of each interval would start with night blindness or veto spots mild vitamin a deficiency if they're more severe than that we would obviously hospitalize them and treat them and children who had perfectly normal looking eyes and we had certain retinal levels on all of these kids so we know that these children were different now over the course of the three months before our next visit some of these children are going to develop uh clinical xerophthalmia some of these children are going to become normal some of them are going to stay the same and and then we could determine what was different and they were all the differences you might have anticipated children were likely to become deficient if their diets were poor if they had pneumonia if they had diarrhea what have you but something fell out of the data we hadn't been anticipating and caused us to go back and re-run the data in an entirely different way and the question was all right at the beginning of an interview some children have slightly more vitamin a deficiency than the average child the one without xerophthalmia what proportion of these children died over the three months what proportion of these children died over the three months and then at the beginning of the next interval we categorized them by their oculus status which matched their certain retinol levels and then what proportion died here and then you add all that up but what do you get here is the mortality rate with children with normal looking eyes these are not normal children they're vitamin a deficient they're just not sufficiently vitamin a deficient uh to have had night planets and beetle spots children with night blindness were dying at three times the rate children with veto spots at six times the rate and children with the two together probably a slightly cleaner group but almost nine times the rate so for an epidemiologist this is terrific data i mean not only is there an association but it's dose response related doesn't prove that vitamin a in fact caused the excess mortality because there could have been other things that were tracking the vitamin a deficiency that we hadn't collected data on it didn't recognize so there is only one way you could determine whether or not it was vitamin a that in fact was causing the increased mortality and that was change one thing vitamin a status how do you change one thing you do a randomized trial and half the kids are given placebo and half the kids are given a vitamin a every six months so arrow smith he explained that his discovery was accidental that most scientific discoveries were accidental that no investor however great could do anything more than see the value of his chance results and that's certainly been the case in my career in other words if a research project turns out the way you expected you haven't learned anything think about that all right so the first trial 450 villages randomized 225 the vitamin a 225 not i give you a sense of doing these studies this is not the study population these are the field workers and this is the results at the end of one year so a baseline was done down here when children were censused and examined and then the first vitamin a capsule was given between one and two months and then between six and seven months and essentially the group assigned to vitamin a and this was an intent to treat analysis so we took everybody those who got it and those who didn't get it had a one-third lower mortality than those who were assigned to placebo this was not greeted with a great deal of enthusiasm it elicited a large numbers of letters to the editor of the lancet were as a lead in the company by editorial and none of them were positive so we were forced to follow fett's law violate fett's law of the lab which has never replicated a successful experiment and so we went to nepal and we essentially did the same thing there we gave the vitamin a every four months and as you can see in every four-month interval there is a dramatic difference between the children of science to vitamin a the children assigned to placebo and after four rounds in fact we had to stop the study early because it was highly statistically significant but we did something that i thought was interesting because it sort of tied a bow around the whole package is we simply without telling the field workers substituted vitamin a for the placebo and then followed for two more rounds of distribution just to prove that the two populations of children were essentially the same well they look the same on every parameter you could think of if you simply substitute the vitamin a for the placebo and you find that the mortality rates become exactly the same you know there's no other differences between the two groups so eventually we and others finished doing a bunch of studies and we ended up with uh one study was not well done uh and we told them while they were doing it that they they weren't in sufficient supervision of the field workers but nonetheless the overall meta-analysis was a 34 reduction childhood mortality now what were these children actually dying from well in a few of the studies we actually to be able to collect what we call a verbal autopsy and we're not there when a child dies child doesn't die in a hospital dies in the village but we find out the same day the child dies a study physician goes and interviews the parents and the relatives and tries to tease out as best they can from the observations what they died from respiratory disease hard to make a diagnosis retrospectively in a village setting but probably didn't have a huge impact there but if you look at measles and diarrhea it's about a 50 reduction in mortality not in measles necessarily but in measles mortality in the children given vitamin a immediately after that w.h.o and unicef recommended that all children with measles receive vitamin a as part of their treatment so what we basically came down to understanding was that night blindness was not an early mild clinical manifestation of early mild vitamin a deficiency in fact as vitamin a status declines you get these systemic implications first increase severity of infections increase mortality decreased growth anemia but they're so prosaic and that there are so many things that do that they would simply not recognized and it was only when you get more severe that in fact you start getting the ocular complications with night blindness xerophthalmia what have you what's happened since then there's now about 15 years of a global vitamin a distribution deficiency control program largely spearheaded by unicef there are about half a billion vitamin a tablets given out these large those capsules given out every year and the best estimates that about a half a million children are not dying each year who otherwise would have so black swans nassim talibs wonderful book classical model of discovery you search for what you know a new way to reach india and you find something you didn't know is there america that sort of been my career of course as louis pasteur famously said chance favors the prepared mind so woody allen you got to show up that's 80 of success louis pasteur when you show up you got to have your mind prepared to recognize what you've seen now i've thrown a lot of data on at you so i want to tell you a little something about statistics before i close so for many years four of us together taught a course on glaucoma at the american academy of ophthalmology and at the end of the course which lasts about two or three hours uh the 150-200 participants other ophthalmologists have to rate your presentation and you know zero is really bad and five is terrific and i'm losing my voice anyway harry quigley a colleague of mine at hopkins he's a brilliant guy terrific speaker so he got the highest score and he deserved it anders hale is uh speaks swedish so nobody can understand him so he got the lowest score henry gempel a young faculty member did pretty well and i did pretty well i came in second now what's really interesting about this is that i wasn't there that day the academy had double booked me and i they had signed me on to a plenary session so i had to miss the course so the lesson i take home from this is you get a lot better score for your lectures when you don't show up so how will you ever know whether you're a flying squirrel if you don't give it a shot thanks very much | American

rwRqJ7DKoQg | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwRqJ7DKoQg | Pruning Lift Height | our final problem on our practice problems problem 30 um looks at pruning so how tall do we need the public line to be before we could turn the lowest 21 feet of the bowl without risking reduced risks so our general rule of thumb for level 89 is we want to maintain a live Crown ratio as it relates to pruning of above 50 percent live crime ratio which I'm going to abbreviate LCR and so the math on this will simply be either 21 feet of Bowl divided by 0.50 and that equals 42. our unit's on 21 of the feet our units on 42 our feet so if we look at this if our trees are 42 feet tall so here's my attempt to draw a tree for what it's worth 42 feet tall we're assuming 100 lifetime ratios star that's an assumption we'll make them but it wouldn't matter if it's all pruned up some already if it was less than that and can print off the deadlifts um if it's already completely self-privier there's no need to prune so it really doesn't change our outcome um so even if it was less it would work fine too and then following pruning our tree now has 21 feet prune 21 feet with live crown and so this has given us 50 percent live crime ratio so that's an explanation and a drawing for you you can see the math is very straightforward um the nice thing about this is you know this 21 feet is the number some companies are using it makes their product specs uh remember that to get trees on many log trucks here in the U.S South one would be about 20 feet long so we typically look at about 40 feet as being the earliest we could probably commercially been a stand 40 feet in height and so you're also going to want to do your first printing after a thing there's no reason to prune trees that are then thinned soon after that's a waste of money so here the prescription would be the thin the stand then come in and prune it so that 42 feet works really well uh with our life crackers so there's a little bit of detail on Lifetime ratio and pruning wave effects | Jeremy Stovall | UC0FfxPejD9EuAtY9fv6a4zw | 2023-01-06 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 389 | 1,955 |

wgeqi9ZEb6w | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgeqi9ZEb6w | [MHP3rd] 2. Yukumo Village Overview | Let's talk more about the village and its functions. As a hunter, you are supplied and supported by the village you operate out of. They are the ones who get you work, and will equip you for the trials ahead with useful items, weapons, armor, and things like allies and buffs to make sure you are at peak performance when going up against things that threaten the village, its people, and the surrounding areas. Maybe even the world. The Monster Hunter World. The farm can be found on the lower level, opposite the smithy. It will start out pretty bare, but as you progress through the game you will unlock and upgrade different things. You should make a habit of going here after every quest. The farm will supply you with a variety of free items every time you return to the village, the more you invest with Yukumo points and some other items, the more it will output and help support you. I'm only going to touch on the things that are unlockable at the start of the game for now. I may go into more depth later on once everything is unlocked, but as a general rule of thumb, after you have completed an urgent quest, talk to the Farm manager outside of the farm to see if there are new upgrades. Some upgrades may only appear after previous upgrades are unlocked as well. Before any urgent quests are completed, you can get the Field Row +1, the Fishing Pier +1 The Black Bug Perfume for the Insect Trap, The Mushroom Log, and The Mega BBQ Spit. All of these upgrades will cost 6,500 Yukumo points in total. That may sound like a lot, but as long as you do a little gathering on your hunts, you'll probably get the amount sooner or later. Egg delivery can help give you a chunk too if you'd like to try that. Before I explain how the farm operates, I want to clarify that when I say things like "when you return to the village" or "after a quest" I mean after you complete a quest. Abandoning a quest will not progress time for farm, and the farm will not regenerate while you are away from the game or after loading your save again, no matter how much real time has passed. Also, there is a wiki page with more specific info to explain how different settings and options in the farm may affect the output. I won't go into too much detail right now, as this is just meant to be an introduction to the systems more than anything else. On the far right of the farm there is a crack in the wall, you can mine from here a few times, just keep at it until the mining prompt goes away. You do not need a pickaxe to mine here, this is explained as the farm just having pickaxes around that you can use. Moving to the left there is the Insect Trapper. Unlike the mining node, this resource gatherer requires an initial setup and can be modified. Once you set it up with a bait you do not need to talk to the Felyne that operates it again unless you want to change the settings. You can also optionally use an item to potentially boost the effectiveness of the Insect Trapper, this will need to be done once every time you come back to the village, but the bait will never run out and can be changed whenever you want, for free. Moving towards the entrance a bit you will find the Mushroom Log, you will need to unlock this first, and once you do you can gather some mushrooms from it. This will add up over time and is very helpful for gunners in particular, though some mushrooms are useful for everyone. What do you even write in a mushrom log? Close by are the Field Rows, you will have up to three eventually. You can plant a plantable item here and optionally fertilize it with either worms, dung, or wyvern droppings to increase the yield. This is an excellent way to stockpile some very useful items. To the left of the Insect Trapper by the water you'll find the Mega BBQ spit. With this you can cook many steaks simultaneously, but you will need the help of a felyne. I'll explain how to get them soon. And finally if you go down the pier to your left, you will reach the fishing area. Unlike in Freedom Unite, fishing in this farm is actually extremely convenient. You don't need to fish individually anymore, you just run up and press Square, and you will lift up the fish trap, giving you the fish inside. Nice! The farm will eventually be a bustling place with felynes running around training and helping you gather materials and such, but this is the bare minimum of upgrades that you can get at the start. I want to say again, check the farm manager after every urgent quest you complete to see what you can unlock and upgrade. Speaking of which... Right outside of the Yukumo Farm you'll find the Farm manager. His role is pretty simple, you get Yukumo Points and buy farm upgrades from him. You can also use spare Yukumo Points on various useful items. At the start he'll sell Aquaglow Jewels for 500, which may sound like a lot of points, but you'll start to accumulate them over time. Later on you'll be able to buy other jewels and armor spheres for crafting decorations and upgrading weapons and armor respectively. I'll explain those systems later. It's worth noting that the big egg right next to him can be gathered from once per town visit with square for a chance to get a Yukumo Egg. This can be eaten during a hunt and will restore all red temporary health and increase the rate that you recover red health for a time. It's really a pretty nifty item. You should stockpile them for sure. To the right of the Farm Manager and the big egg you will find the Item Shop, we've made use of her already. This lady is integral to your success as a hunter, she will sell many useful items to you at a fixed rate, and her stock will increase as you complete urgent quests. Anything you can buy is likely more convenient than crafting it yourself, keep that in mind. A notable group of items that you'll buy from her eventually are power and armor charms which are items that increase your attack and defense respectively just by having them in your inventory, as well as the book of combos 1 through 5 and two other books that add pages to your item box in your house. Right by the item shop you should find a cute little pig, you can interact with him to pet him. A minigame not unlike the one for cooking meat will play. I really don't know if it's supposed to be a morbid joke or just a reused mechanic, and I'm a bit afraid to ask. Successfully pet poogie and it will move into your house. Poogie is a very cute lad and has a little secret, petting him will actually make it more likely for you to obtain rare mat- will make him very happy and cause him to follow you around town. Once you get Felyne Comrades, you can also have them ride him while in town. It's extremely cute and should warm your heart as the game beats the shit out of your body later on. Though I don't wish to alarm you, of course. Across from the item shop is the equipment shop, we've had her help as well. This shop will not see as much use in the mid and late game, but early on it's pretty helpful and can sell some nifty pieces of equipment. If you have just started the game and want a new armor set, check out her store. Like I said in the last video, the weapons sold here are better versions of the "old" ones you start with, so feel free to swap em out when you get the chance. It's also much more convenient to buy these weapons than craft them, which you can then upgrade to make more powerful. Speaking of which... The small man to our right here is the blacksmith. He is a wyverian, like the village chief. They have pointed ears and four fingers, and are sometimes smaller than humans. There are a few wyverians in town actually, see if you can find the others! His job is to take monster materials and some money, and put together and upgrade powerful weapons and armor for you. He can also craft decorations, which can be slotted into weapons and armor with decoration slots to give you points in armor skills, which is a very useful system that I will explain at a later time. New to this generation is the Felyne Comrade Blacksmith, to our right from the Wyverian Blacksmith. This blacksmith will take material scraps which we get after making weapons and armors for ourselves, to make weapons and armors for our felyne comrades. You can also trade in materials directly to them for scraps, though you should only do this if you want the new kitty drip you've been eyeballing more than the monster skins you earned with blood, sweat, and tears. Moving up the stairs we'll see the Felyne Granny, she will help scout us some Felyne helpers, called Felyne Comrades, they can be taken on quests to help us out, read: distract the monster, and will improve in skill and effectiveness the more we make use of and train them. When playing offline you can bring two felyne comrades with you which I highly recommend, these two will be your brothers and/or sisters in battle and are immensely helpful. When playing online with one other hunter you can only bring one each, however, if there are three or more players, no Felyne Comrades will be present during a quest. I want to clarify that my guides will most likely not make use of Felyne Comrades, for a variety of reasons, the main one being to ensure the video and example is consistent. But like I've said before, do not do exactly what I do all the time, just play the game however you want to. My set ups are almost always meant to be a place to start from and build on top of. Either way though you will want to employ at least a few felynes eventually as they can help you out in the farm as well as during a quest. They are really some great friends to have, treat them well. RIGHT to our LEFT is your house. Inside you'll find a bed to sleep in to save your game, an item box to hoard items and change equipment, a bookshelf to read info magazines in japanese, check the cutscene gallery, change your hair, makeup, and inner clothing, and also change poogie's clothing! There's also the comrade board in the back where you can manage your Felyne comrades. And finally to the back right is a convenient path that will take you to the guild hall where you can play with others and/or accept quests that are balanced for multiple people. I recommend that you focus on the village quests first, gear up, and then take on the guild quests, but feel absolutely free to check out those quests whenever you want. It's a fun way to take a peek at mid game content when you're still early on, and multiplayer makes monster hunter so much funner in my opinion. Some people have more fun playing solo, and that's completely fine as well. Outside of your house, down the path on our left is the training school. This is a good place to get a grasp of the basics, and where you can be kitted out with a basic loadout to try the 12 different weapon types, though I'd recommend three things. One, consider sticking with sword and shield or whatever weapon you've chosen for now until you get a pretty firm grasp about how it works or you start to get bored. Two, instead of doing the training quest, do the actual quest to fight Great Jaggi, which is unlocked in the village early on, to start stockpiling materials. The Great Jaggi armor set is extremely good for the start of the game, and we'll 100% be making it as soon as possible. Really it can carry you pretty far, it's that good. Finally, let me give some advice on actually picking a weapon. At this point you're either using sword and shield, switch axe, or whatever else you've decided on. I recommend you stick with one weapon at a time when you're starting out, and understand that not all monsters will treat all weapon classes with respect, if you get what I'm saying. If you're still not sure on what weapon you want to use, consider that they're all going to feel a bit awkward at first, and you're not going to know how to be effective until you use it for a while, so I highly recommend that you just pick any weapon that appeals to you in any way. Anything that sounds cool, or looks awesome, or seems like you'd like it, anything at all. Go with that gut feeling, and figure out the actual functions of the weapon later. Also, if you're ever having a lot of trouble with a monster, you may want to try a different weapon against it. It may help. I'll be working on individual beginner guides for every weapon very soon™ Back in town, across from your house, is the Village Chief. You've met. She will supply us with what are called the Village Quests. These quests are single player only, are what are known as "Low Rank" quests, and are balanced for a single person to complete them. Quests in the guild hall will go up to High Rank and are balanced for multiple people. High Rank monsters make High Rank equipment which are stronger and better than their low rank counterparts, but you will need good low rank equipment to clear the low rank quests required to even access the high rank quests. I recommend you start with the village quests, as you will progress faster and smoother that way, and once you clear some or all of them, you can consider going up to the guild hall and playing with others or just checking out what else is available. It depends on how confident you're feeling. There is no wrong answer. Once you accept a quest you will go to the right of the Village Chief, and by the bridge leading out of town is the Travelling Peddler. This guy will sell us items just like the item shop. Remember when I said the item shop will "sell many useful items to you at a fixed rate"? sell many useful items to you at a fixed rate Well the travelling peddler will sell us a rotating stock of items, some of which will be discounted or can only be bought from him. It is definitely worth checking out what he has to sell from time to time. Just like with the farm and the big egg and some other mechanics, his stock may only rotate when you come back from a quest. Behind the village chief and up the stairs is the guild hall, this is the multiplayer section of the game, but also where you go to buff yourself before accepting and departing on both village and guild quests. Before we start, I want to briefly cover multiplayer through PPSSPP, the emulator I'm playing on and recommend. There is an extremely cool discord community and server that you can play portable 3rd online through called "Hunsterverse." There will be a link in the description to their new user guide. It can be a little confusing at first, but follow their instructions closely and you'll be fine. There are some rules such as no cheating and don't be rude etc. but it's by far the best way to play portable 3rd, freedom unite, and even freedom 1 online in current year. Moving on. On the far left is the path to your house, this is very convenient when you want to swap equipment sets when playing in multiplayer, since you can't do that with the item box in the guild hall. At the desk on the far left is the Guild Hall Manager, he can give you some tips and pointers and will explain how some things work. Feel free to talk to him a few times to familiarize yourself more. Right next to him is the low rank guild gal, she will hand out low rank multiplayer quests. Again, these quests are scaled for multiple people, the health of the monster will be higher than the village quests, and will not be lowered just because you take them on solo. Don't let that deter you from taking them on though. Next to her is the High Rank guild gal. Take a wild guess at what her role is here. Really just a shot in the dark. It could be anything. Maybe this is the snack bar, or an arm wrestling station or the bagel and cream ch- She will give us multiplayer high rank quests. You will need to progress through the low rank key and urgent quests before you can access the high rank ones. The monsters in these quests will take and output more damage, but will also give us high rank materials to make into more powerful high rank weapons and armors. Next to her is the future Ultimate Hunter. Talk to him for advice. Next to him is the quest board where you will go to join a quest that another player has posted. You can only join the quest if they are still in the guild hall. If they have left the guild hall and/or have gone on a quest, they'll need to come back before you can play with them. They will also need to make sure they allow enough hunters on their quest. Hunters who have posted a quest will have a full, colored, "ticket" above their heads, players who have joined a quest will have a half "ticket" which the same color as their host. Next to the board is the Hunter's Store. It is almost identical to the one in town, and you can use it to stock up on some essentials if you're running low without needing to leave the guild hall to do so. Right next to her is the door that will lead you and your group out of town and to the accepted quest. If you are hosting a quest, you need to wait for players to ready up, they will be readied when their "half ticket" is flashing. If you leave before everyone is ready, only the hunters who were ready will accompany you, everyone else will stay in the guild hall and cannot join you until you come back, so try and be patient. And finally, next to the door is an item box, you should always go here to put away unnecessary items after a quest and restock things like potions and whetstones if you used any on your quest. This item box is not the same as the one in your house, it will contain all of the same items and you can combine and sell stuff, but you cannot change your equipment here. By the entrance again, to your right, there is the entrance to the Hot Spring. I'll go over this place in more detail a bit later but here are the basics. The felyne peeping tom here will give you Hot Spring and Drink quests that will upgrade the hot spring and unlock drinks respectively. Once you enter the hot spring you can soak in the hot spring by standing in the hot spring and pressing square. If the hot spring is upgraded at all and you have not yet recieved the buff, you can stand up and will recieve the max health and stamina boost. You do not need to stay in the spring for any amount of time to recieve the buff, you just need to sit down, but there are fun emotes you can do in there. This max health and stamina buff will last you until you cart on a quest or complete the quest. Once upgraded at all, you should soak in the spring before every quest, it is extremely useful. On our way out of the hot spring area, there is a Felyne that is notably looking away from the changing area like anyone with some semblance of courtesy would do. This is the Du-rink Su-tand-o, "Time in a Bottle." "Alestorm." "99 Bottles of- When talking to them, they will make it very clear that you will only be allowed one drink until you return from a quest. Similar to the hot spring, these drinks will give you certain "drink skills", such as an attack boost, that will last until you cart or return from a quest, whichever comes first. Making use of the hot spring and drinks will be instrumental to your success and effectiveness as a hunter.

um shop with the kids um at that time she only had her first son Jaden uh did you have any children yes oh my two youngest ones there were um a few months apart from from each other like yeah remember we know we saw that became pregnant yes in 2015. how did you learn about her pregnancy um she texted me and she told me that she was pregnant um yeah she she told me that um it was um someone that she was dating um which was Anthony and she just told me she was pregnant and she just didn't she didn't know what to do you ever met this this is the time that she said she was pregnant from Anthony did you know if she hadn't seen this guy I knew she had been seen um Anthony but I never met him or anything like that what other platforms would you use to what other types of social media um we usually message through Facebook messenger and Snapchat no she didn't she was going to school to tell me you nursing you know how she was able to to handle the jobs of school and being a mom um oh she um I do know that she was struggling a bit and she was getting um like um student loans and helping herself out with that I'm a daycare um with the school daycare and anything she she needed at that time did y'all did you all live uh near each other yes in what neighborhood per se or what neighborhood can you come to read about the address um we she lived on dilwood and I lived on a neighborhood over which was it's Mines Road yeah I want to go back to April 2018. do you remember that dating yes did you remember coming in contact with 37 on that day yes on April 9th yeah um she called me to tell me to ask if she can use my restroom and she went over to my house you remember more or less what time was occurred during the day it was like around nine in the morning right right before nine um or nine and when she arrived to your house uh how did she get there um she was in her sister's car it was a white Mercedes Dominic for a baby and where was he he was in the back seat in the car seat do you remember what he was doing um he was with his little phone he was watching um a little cartoon or something yes she went inside the house to use my restroom and I stayed outside with Dominic and I stayed inside the car for a little bit um I don't recall if I offered to take care of him um but I did um I just stayed with him for a little bit and and just waited till she came out do you know where she was going yes she to the park father mcnobi yeah and uh do you remember seeing any political part yeah I thought Chick-fil-A do you think the reason why she was going to the father MacDonald yeah she mentioned she was going to go to the park to meet Anthony did you have any plans to see her later on that day yes we had our original plans was we had already discussed it a day before where she was going to come over around noon we were gonna watch a movie and hang out with the kids in my house and after she came out of the restroom and walked out of your house to get into your car did she ask you anything before she left my house she said how do I look you look great call me back I mean call me when you're on your way no I didn't it's cool and talk about about this Anthony did she ever tell you what his mask anymore yes what kind of information would you that she shared with you about it um at the beginning she just told me that he was a border patrol what else did you come to learn about Anthony well um when we first talked about him she just mentioned that he was a border patrol and that um he was separated and that's pretty much what I knew about him you know um from my understanding um he wasn't living in Laredo like he worked like he he would just come sometimes yeah I believe so so I thought no I didn't know that because um she mentioned it to him and and he didn't want anything to do with the baby like she did he didn't want her to go through the pregnancy so he wasn't helping at all he wanted her to um abort the baby she didn't want to she was going to keep the baby so going into 2017 he said I was having financial problems the struggles in 2017 he said the babies who financially it's tough yes you guys discussed option group what you should do she did um well we did talk about um her wanting to put um putting him on child support so she can help herself what was your opinion I told her that she should so at that point in time did you did you did she know before the decision ultimately because she decides that yes she's going to pursue child support yeah until that time did you know where Anthony did no the universe find out more about it thank you yes did you help her try to find something like that we try to do our investigation I can say we will like go through social media Google see a little bit more about him just um see what we can find out because you need like an address to be able to report for child support So as your best friend you're helping her now try to find these guys yes so uh social media that's why um Instagram Facebook um and Google search any success right um she was able to find um Instagram and um the address on Google now that you 've had the address I'm talking about 2017. close to 2018. put on that whole child support time yeah I don't recall the dates um will we find out where he lives and we did um pass by his house to see if we can like if he actually did live here or he didn't what how many times were you or let me ask you this how different on this house I would trade yeah um I went like once or twice and I drove um when I was with her do you remember the color of his house do you remember more or less what part of town um around Shiloh Shiloh Crossing I want to say or Shiloh of Luke 20. so often you had to shine along um so around where the shallow Crossing Apartments are in that subdivision yes yes I don't remember I can't I don't recall how to more or less but yes passing the the apartments I remember there was a park nearby and that's that's it I don't require anything else were you able to find out were you ever able to find out if yes so we eventually found out that he was indeed married um and that the wife actually lived in Laredo because um at the beginning um when she thought that they were separated or there was or she wasn't in the picture there was some mentioned that she lived out of state where in Florida I want to say um just her name photos on her site yeah um we saw some pictures of her children of his kids well um at that point It's when um he was like always denying like this is already like Fast Forward he denied Dominic so we just compared the pictures of his son to Dominic and it's they're the same they look very like did you say they were the same you found pictures of with Anthony's kids is that what you're saying yeah there was a we saw um a picture of one of his I don't know if it's his youngest or or which one but there is a baby picture and it looked so much alike like Dominic 494 at 496 ask you if you recognize these yeah yeah yes that's on 496. uh 4.95 yes sure I was going to show them to you right now um she's not I'm just asking if she's recognized as 494 yes okay and these are the images that you all saw on the Facebook yeah on Instagram on Instagram components any objections you recognize a little bit yes that's Dominic well Dominic yes we recognizing those shoes yes yes you saw Dominic on the last day he was alive was he walking oh he was in the car seat okay no I had seen on days prior he was not walking Dominic and I'm going to show you the pictures that's Dominic who's this little lady so I think that's um his other son in other words that's not that one that's not Dominic put numbers on display announcer this is 4.95. so that the these little lips and kisses on Dominic and then it happens that Anthony's son from the um his wife's page she has kisses on you yes they look very similar yes do you remember what his name was on social media Avi [Music] I think it's r-o-r-o and then Avi is Avi um what else would you come to learn about the relationship that Griselda have you well and how often would they see each other they would see each other just once in a while it was enough I wouldn't say it was um like a boyfriend girlfriend relationship it was more like they've just stated some once in a while did you ever know how they would how would they communicate um by social media all I know is that they met by social media not what platform no they had no relationship yes he texted everybody said that he wanted to give up with did you see that text or did she tell you that question yes uh and you said earlier that you would you would before you would use Instagram to communicate with them I would use um Facebook messenger and Snapchat to communicate with her okay I'm gonna do your honor for the to be more efficient with time I'll show her all the the text message printouts we have and have identify them all instead of having to come back to each time so I'm going

park she was regretting her coin yeah she was just crying and crying she was just saying that um oh I can hear the baby crying in the background um she was just like um that she was regretting going over to go meet up with Anthony that um it didn't go as planned she just wanted him to see the baby you know to have a little relationship you know just to meet him um and you know talk about the child support um and he had said something along the lines with um meaning you're gonna hate it you're going to hate me for what I'm done yes you're gonna hate me or I'm about what I'm gonna do yes and what if anything do you say you do oh I told her that she that sounded like a threat so she should put a restraining order against him that was your advice for her to go get a restraining one yes I told her him too and just to be careful to be careful and and not to meet up with him again that was around that time did she ever go and get a restraining order not not that I know no body um later on that day um we had already we had a concert to attend that that night um so I texted her like around four and I was like are you ready the Bad Bunny concert in in the arena yes so I text her around four um and I said hey are you good are you ready are we still going or something like that and she told me that she was at the hospital with Dominic because she thought that he had got bitten by a spider or something that he was in pain yeah so she was at the at the emergency room and he was getting treated and so she I guess they gave him antibiotics um he got treated and they released him and we did end up going to the concert later on that night with her mom good morning thank you for being here um I think and I know everyone in this room is very sorry for your loss um you were Zelda's best friend yes and more than that you were the last person to see both Griselda and Dominic alive yes and that that's a very heavy burden isn't it yes and uh men you uh you you testified on direct examination that you never actually met uh Anthony is that correct correct and you never saw Anthony and Griselda together correct correct so everything that you know about their relationship is from brazelda is that correct correct and uh just very briefly I want to talk about uh you mean actually the 25th and the 25th stands out because that's the day that you went to the band funny concert is that correct correct okay and uh you testified on direct examination that roselda called you from the emergency room did I understand that correctly no she did not call me from the emergency room so she called you and that was the exhibit that the state showed you was that the record is that correct from the text messages well the last exhibit that okay there was a phone call As I understood yes but she was not at the emergency yet she was on her way to the American story I don't she was not on oh I didn't know about the emergency room until she texted me and uh you actually had a messaged with Griselda earlier um that day on the 25th in the morning isn't that correct my message sure um I'm I'm pretty sure since we did speak daily so um she messaged you on Facebook very early in the morning on the 25th isn't that correct I don't recall I I'm sure she did I'm not too sure would it refresh your recollection to see a company um I'll take that so uh look at uh look at those messages when your recollection is refreshed yes I I do recall these messages okay and um are those Facebook messages um yes it's just not the morning it's like after in so um I know you're looking at it and you say it's the afternoon because it says 40 1340 is that why you're saying it's the afternoon yeah it's like after so uh uh I would um ask you well if I apologize because there was no objective mistake for the intellectual trying to avoid that objections it's two pages all right so um I'll do this one defendants one defendants 1.2 will be page 166. Independence 1.1 will be paid 165. defend 1.1 and 1.3 there is no one so and I apologize I put them in the van on the retrievements so ma'am if I could have you look at uh page 165 uh paid 166 as it's marked at the top I'm sure the record is dependence 1.2 and the at the at the bottom of the page it's the fourth message from the bottom that says author Adriana Lynette is that you yes okay and uh that's where it says sent and then it's 2018 325. yes that's what it says here and then it says 13 35 56 UTC is that correct ma'am 1335 yeah UTC and uh and so um UTC and then you have written to Griselda why are you awake is that correct yes and um that UTC doesn't refer to Central Standard time that we're in okay will you understand it yeah I was getting confused with the time [Music] so we're not sure are actually this afternoon is that correct from my from my Facebook records that would be sent in in like after midnight and uh and that's the next one and these are the way that they're ordered here is in reverse order yes right so um you asked her why are you awake and then she said I can't sleep is that correct yes and then um the next message wrote to you and said all night with dom and right now I just woke up yes and then uh and then you all have a discussion about going to the concert is that correct yes according juice what is labeled as 1336 56 UTC it's the fourth message from the top and you said yay what are you wearing correct and then the message above that is from Griselda to you where she says IDK which you understood I don't know um what he has is that is yes okay okay and uh you understood that to me in reference to Dominic is that right yes Rosella was telling you she doesn't know what he has because she said that she was up all night with Dominic um and that she woken up is this is that correct man yes and just so everyone understands this is the morning of the 25th before um she was taking Dominic to see wow is that correct correct okay and uh I'd ask you to look at page 165 which has been admitted as defensive um and then Griselda and again everyone so everyone understands and so in reverse order um rides uh yes and he's coughing and could you read that next line at the bottom of the page yeah yes and he's copying his eyes are really watery he just wants to be carried in I know but like your voice I'm sorry did you hear that did you hear me um did you understand that when Griselda wrote that that uh Dominic had been coughing all night and it looked like he was going to vomit yes okay um and the designs were really watery uh and they just weren't prepared yes and so that was the entire night before um Dominic saw the clock um according to the to the date yes um and you have no reason to suspect that Facebook has altered potatoes yeah and uh matter of fact um two messages up so it's three messages from the bottom you respond to her um with that's Aaron right now dude um is that correct yes and uh Aaron is Aaron your child Aaron is my child yes okay so your child will step at the same time yes and uh next line gee describes in more detail of dominik's condition and it was all night was waking up crying and with the fever yes and then eventually as you've already described you co-designed to go to the Pathfinder concert is that what I meant yes so and I just want to this is summarizing it and uh from your understanding and what roselda had told you Dominic was sick prior to seeing Ronald on the 25th is that your understanding man according to the messages yes thank you for your patience thank you you'll uh approach real quick foreign [Music] foreign can you please state your name for the record uh Bradley Dennison okay I'm just going to ask you for a purpose of the court reporter to speak loudly and into that microphone you want to pull it up and move your focus your chair in okay um Mr Dennison uh how are you employed uh I work for the United States border patrol okay border patrol agent okay and how long have you been with the border patrol uh this time a little over 23 years sir okay what are your current assignments I'm currently signed at the Loretta North Station to the day shift uh throughout your career what cities have you been assigned to uh I've only my entire career I've been here in Laredo okay great great before we get started I want to go over some terminology uh that that's unique to the Border Patrol and uh or law enforcement rather but uh and also discuss a little bit of what the standard uniform is um you know how it is you all wear your uniform I see today you are in uniform yes sir okay and as part of your uniform you carry a a Sam Brown or a belt yes sir okay and what does that consist of uh so our typical duty belt is uh okay obviously a firearm required to carry two magazines uh spare ammunition magazines a uh less lethal user force weapon uh handcuffs radio also consists it consists of an inner belt that goes in on the pants inside the belt loops outer belt that goes outside and those two belts are held together uh with a minimum of four uh belt Keepers belt Keepers okay would you mind uh do you have that equipment of some of that equipment on today yes already these kind of stand up and show do some Show and Tell with with the jury so that they can see you when you come down here Financial faster between the front behind the firearm uh and the purpose of those is while you're moving it keeps that build two builds from separating the outer belt that has weight on it for moving around your body other shifting side to side or moving up uh we're now further to hold everything in place because it does have let's say it away they just snap off like that most keepers are the same way some will only have one buttons Turbo to hold those two Bells together minimum will require to wear the four Keepers our uniform standards and some guys can learn more thank you sir now uh can you define what the word muster means uh so muster for us in the border patrol would be uh a gathering we have I guess at the beginning of every shift um we report to our duty station uh We Gather in the in the muster room that's designated at the station um everybody who's working that shift for that day supervisors uh Watch Commander regular agents we all gather their role is called assignments are given out um any information about uh you know Patrol information from the day before what you know things things to expect that day uh things that might be going on in the community information like that significant arrests all that information is given out after most of everybody gets after they get their work assignments you go get your vehicle assignments and Equipment you want to check out from the station and then we we leave the station and go report to our areas to sign areas of Duty for the day another term that uh I want you to explain is kilo unit so a kilo unit in the border patrol is is a pickup truck could be a Ford could be a Chevy could be a Dodge but so that's the uh part of the number designator for a a pickup truck in the Border Patrol usually it'll start with kilo and then after that it has an assigned number for the individual pickup truck when you say it starts with letter K yes sir no it's the letter K and then uh either four or five numbers we'll follow that what about boots so we're not we're not issued and required to wear specific um brand or or model of boot uh the way our uniforms uh work we have a uniform allowance that we're issued every year every agent is given the same amount of certain color amount um that we can spend through our our uniform company that has the contract to provide our uniforms um on their that that website through that company there are certain models that we can purchase certain makes manufacturers but we're not required to wear only those uh we're restricted by you know color material uh things of that nature as long as our boots meet those requirements we can go outside of those uniform uh that uniform ordering website but we have to spend our own money if we're going to use the uniform allowance um most agents will buy from those those uh boots that are available to them on the website there okay and as far as the uh the green uniform that you wear today is that issue that that is also available on that site and that is required we can't go outside of that uh provider to provide our actual uniforms um the only thing we can go outside for is uh belts or nylon gear and Boots everything else pretty much has to come through that that uniform provider what about knives folding knives uh utility knives carry that on your own or is it issue no that's not issue uh most agents carry one uh a knife of some types uh but we've what it's up to us to provide an honor roll uh what about your what are the primary duties and responsibilities of a border patrol agent agent um as far as like our mission statement or just what we do on a day-to-day basis well I mean your mission statement and so so day to day uh an average day for for a better North agent on on the ship on the line um we have multiple duties that we that we cover uh obviously the checkpoints uh most people familiar with our checkpoint that we run up on IH-35 um and then mainly um other than some support roles it's going to be to patrol uh the river areas of uh of Laredo also the highway areas the ranches north of town um to to circum I'm sorry to uh detect uh any kind of illegal entry into the country whether that's um terrorist terrorist weapons illegal aliens uh other kind of Contraband uh that's primarily what we do on day-to-day basis okay now I want to direct your attention to April the 9th of 2018. do you recall that day yes sir I do okay were you on duty that day yes sir I was okay uh let's start off in the morning okay uh did you report on that morning yes sir uh to the day shift um I reported at six a.m that morning okay [Music] um so like I mentioned we start off uh with muster uh in the morning um so I reported that at six a.m is when what our start time is for the day shift so I reported to my station uh we had muster 6 a.m uh received my uh work assignment for the day which for that day I was working uh the area from the father magnibo Park uh up to the World Trade bridge that was my designated assigned area to patrol for that day um so after after muster like I said retrieve my vehicle keys equipment I was going to use for that day from the uh Armory of the station I went out and went to my area Patrol and when you say you reported to work that day where is that station uh so that is on Mcpherson uh Road north of loop 20. um just I guess it's two blocks north of Loop 20 the address is 11 119 McPherson it's north of the loop there okay and so you're talking about uh where you were assigned that day correct you said between Father mcable Park all the way out to to the World Trade Bridge more or less for the jury if you can Orient as to how many miles that is um it's probably I'd say a stretch of about a mile um more or less from I've never measured it specifically but it's probably about a mile from from the park up to the World Trade Bridge Okay possibly a mile and a half but probably about a mile um but I can ask that I need to step down and show the jury step downstairs so what we want to do is be able to show the journey where it is your area show them so mayor of Monday this is the World Trade Bridge here in my area would have gone from that bridge all the way down here into where the park begins so the fields are here baseball field here so pretty much right here baseball field it's always considered now it's a little more developed pretty much from at the end of wealthy yeah very good do you know how many agents if you can have a seat thank you you know how many agents were a sign that takes that region the specific area that I was assigned to it was only me uh do you know what age I do sir yes you know where he was assigned on that day so he was assigned the the next area down river of me south of me which that area encompasses uh Fletchling from Fletchling up to the start of the park there okay correct sir yes so you all would have been in areas yes sir you know uh agent Ronald Anthony yes sir okay uh and if you can do you see him in Portland today yes I do okay and can you identify uh an article clothing that he's wearing and what he's saying uh yesterday we're in a looks like a light blue shirt blue tie sitting at the at the table over there the record reflect that agent Dennison has identified how do you know him so he was assigned uh as my supervisor for that day um and he was the supervisor for uh the deployment areas uh that day so he would have been in charge or overseeing all of our deployment zones for that that day which would have been a number of Agents when you say a number of Agents would it be uh um specifically I don't know about having the daily schedule in front of me but it probably would have been anywhere between uh five to ten agents so I would imagine and he would have been the supervisor correct yes do you know if uh agent or Mr Google's Ivy list was addressed in his uniform that day uh yes sir yeah he was at the Muster that I attended that morning and at that time he was definitely in his uniform yes so yes what about agent Lugo was he out uh in that zone that you described was he going to go out to that zone so he he was at the at muster as well um and he was uh at that time also assigned some collateral duties aside from his normal Patrol duties um he was assigned to do a station inventory one of the station inventory takers so pretty much annually we have a inventory of all of our gear equipment that's assigned to us uh be that radios flashlights GPS's things of that nature phones laptops anything that's government issued equipment um that's on a property card that's assigned to an agent we have to bring it in and they check Shield numbers on it make sure everything's accounted for once a year at that time so he was part of that that group of agents that were signed collateral duty of taking inventory so that morning um it hit and usually it stretches a period of you know a month or so that everybody thinking makes everybody has a chance to bring in their stuff so that morning it had been put out at Muster that Asian Lugo uh was going to be there be available at the station all morning long to be able to to take inventory of your equipment so if you had your equipment meeting that morning or if you were available to to go pick it up you had it in your locker or vehicle whatever it was going to be there available to bring your equipment so he wasn't wasn't going to be in this area to be there at the at the station available to do that inventory the same similar position as as agent uh Nelson he was not no he was uh correct sir and all of you knew this correct sir that was it was announced to everyone at Muster that morning okay uh so that morning do you make the imaginated area yes sir and that's uh father McNamara Park correct is that in Webb County yes sir and what type of vehicle were you in uh I was diving in a Ford F-150 a kilo unit remember the number that kilo four five one five three four five one five three yes sir that was your unit yes sir okay uh do you remember driving by the uh the park on that one uh yes sir I did I did application to go in the park that way uh patrolling Patrol yes looking for any sort of illegal activity correct sir you remember seeing any vehicles uh in the park that morning uh so yes uh one vehicle that that Drew my attention that morning uh as I was entering the park uh from had gone from the top end of my area uh down river uh entered the part and as I was passing through the park uh would you like me to show on the map more or less the location foreign right here and caught my attention because it was instead of being parked in a normal parking space it was parked across the spaces if you're driving pulled over into the community spaces temporary so it was really almost no other vehicles in those parking spaces it was mostly empties so it's pulled out there across maybe two or three spaces so through my attention obviously I noticed those a female in the vehicle I didn't see anybody else in the vehicle and she was looking at her phone I don't know if she was talking so she was saying um this one more or less what time are we talking about so this was shortly before yes okay uh you can get marked for me uh the spot yes 107 the one you have displayed now is already been with Trump um anything else anything I wish it was part property guys who drew my attention as I go faster I kind of circle over here uh back into a parking space over here in this corner stay there for just a short time I noticed a great OPD Universe in the park I know several other uh Los collaboration vehicles that were coming in the park that were available things like that so let me ask you why so much law enforcement presence here border patrol please uh I mean why what's the importance of the of your awesome presence so can we speak to the police but for report um for sure it's it's historically been a very high traffic area because as you can see uh great close trucks into the river you can get vehicles easily into the river sorry close close to the river so it's very short triple run for Smothers ratings to run up from the Riverbanks get into a vehicle and get lost into that neighborhood there's some other locations that are further off off easy access whereas the park it's very easy close access to the vehicles surfing's been very high traffic very important what if anything do you do after you you meet I was at the location for a short time I noticed all the other vehicles coming in so uh well that's been happening right now with all these videos in my area so as I started to leave uh I noticed her uh coming driving back this way looked like the same female driver same vehicle uh driving back through this middle section right here we passed each other on this little drive up here and again as our pastor she was uh she was on her phone looked like she was talking at that time other than um multiple cars will show up groups of people meet up involvement exercises so but to be like she was trying to put the name so I I do not this way are you left the parking lot uh through here towards Northern end of my natural I was all over there so just real quick so your last visual of her is entering this correct so where do you go after that uh so after that as I mentioned I drove up uh one of the towards the Northern end of my patrol area I believe there had been some sensor activations that had gone out there as well while I was in in the park so I was going up to check and respond to those uh while I was on the way there another agent I actually had uh had acknowledged and entered those out as as being uh you know not good traffic so Machinery I believe that set them up so I just went back up into my area uh State Patrol that area for for a while um nothing really eventful happened um until later initiative so in other words you didn't make any arrests that morning agent Dennison no sir I did not are you familiar with the term cariso carrying yes sir is there any so clearing going on that day um so that that specific day okay during yeah during previous to that day prior to that day um for about a week or two there have been a carisso clearing project uh going on maybe perhaps even for a long amount of time but definitely for at least the two weeks prior um to that they have been clearing cariso from the North End of the park all the way down uh towards Fletch Lane and south of Fletcher down river reflection Lane towards the monotos creek that's down there and when you say kariso period explain what that is so people come in a contract company comes in with with heavier equipment and uh they clear out the the large areas of carisso that on the Riverbanks that make it difficult for us to see or detect illegal injuries so they come in with heavy equipment uh brush Cutters tractors uh things of that nature and they they clear all that equipment down to to just the very round pretty much um so you can you can easily see the technique they can come through there you can walk through interdict any kind of uh illegal entries going on did that area include the Brushy area or the bank area south of the soccer field or financial cheering project yes sir yes sir did like I said it went from the North End of the park the whole link to the park and all the way south towards monada's Creek okay I mean I hate to bother you again but here all the way up to the North End Department Fields so the clearing project that was going on uh was from here yep Riverside Park all the way down past the numbers on the park pretty much passes so it would Encompass this Brushy area south of the soccer field along the Riverbanks and typically what what will happen with any of the technology any Technology Centers and stuff that we have in those locations at that time uh had to be removed because the equipment they use were using to clear all that either plastic damage Those sensors or and that information that you you agents are aware that that technology has been removed yes that have been made alert to us uh before the project started that during the duration of this this Theory project on Those sensors will be removed from that area uh if they're mostly discriminate damage the loss my knowledge they were the project was still ongoing so I want to fast forward a little bit now to later on uh that morning uh do you receive any calls or what happens if anything um so later that later that morning um I would say right around 11 A.M a call went out over the radio of a report of a suspicious individual by the Pilot truck stop uh near the 13 Mile Marker 13 Mile Marker on IH-35 on IH-35 yes sir so you're you're now near Riverbanks and you get a Call of suspicious activity 13 miles north on 35. at the 13 Mile Marker so so that went on the radio um a supervisor from my station called me over the radio let me know that they wanted me to go respond and check on that suspicious individual that they that was reported to be possibly in a new alien so as I started to leave my area I was I was parked on a bluff near the World Trade Bridge so as I went to leave that area as I was leaving I saw another kilo unit similar to mine it was also a Ford F-150 coming into the area traveling on a different Road from where I was but I had visual of that road I could see it uh traveling at a pretty high rate of speed for that road that road had a lot of washouts ruts it was very uneven it was made of rock and dirt you know it was nothing paved I was traveling at what I considered a very high rate of speed uh in my experience for that road typically I would only travel on that road or I've only seen others travel on that road at that height rate of a speed if if they have a reason to or need to rather they're responding to some type of illegal entry some type of emergency situation somebody's asking for help something of that nature not just a as a casual drive down that road so when I saw his vehicle driving such a high rate of speed I decided to to follow up make sure that that agent didn't need some help with whatever it is that they were doing because to me it indicated that they had something going on more than just a casual drive down the road like I said so just if you could first point uh just get everyone oriented here uh so we're installing range I was right here near this intersection uh heavy part right here spot I haven't found them right here I stopped for a moment I saw the vehicle coming in on this road they're very hybrid speed goes downhill it's very rough and stuff so brought me an arrow where you see this vehicle what kind of vehicle this is this uh more or less what time are we talking about uh so back then it was probably around 1105-ish just a couple minutes after 11. um so you're heading out you're heading out and what if anything happens after so that kilometer continued down the road here uh raising a pretty large cloud of dust was pretty dry so I decided to go see at the pilot so as you can see the vocals underneath the bridge over here go over here and kind of who turns around and that's as far as you could drive there was a an older Road right here but there's a creek pretty much right on the edge of the map right here that you couldn't you couldn't imagine your vehicle at the time so I knew that it wasn't going to go very far until he got to work so without getting on the radio the column I just I just decided let me follow him help him out if he needs it so I proceeded down the road I can see that industrial continued this direction down the road I didn't turn here so I just kept falling down the road you go under the bridge I did go underneath the bridge yes sir as I as I got underneath the bridge I was able to see uh the kilo unit coming back on this door right here the one that's closest to the river coming back towards me uh driving again a pretty hybrid speed we make a large desktop so I decided I'm stopping over here for him to get to me so that heel unit you guys come window yes I stopped there waiting for him to approach as he got to my location when I rolled my middle down he also put his window down and who is driving that kilo unit that was surprised the same Ronald Anthony Bluehost obviously sitting here today correct yes sir and in your exact words what do you what do you tell age my exact words were kind of math um I don't know if the Adas have been there for the map or you can continue to map the foundation yes so your exact words too so so I spoke to him I said hey what's going on uh you have the traffic what's going on he said no I'm just exploring I said well you were hauling ass down the boat man I thought you had something going on you responded to something and he said no no I'm just exploring the area so okay I said I said well since he's my supervisor for the area I haven't had contact with him since after most of that money I said hey I don't know if you heard it on the radio right now they just called me to go respond to that pilot they call it the pilot and he said no no I didn't hear that so okay up there so I'll be out of the area for a little while finish off here you see him here under the infrared to the people seats which way preparing the bridge so he proceeded down the road here back this direction and uh down this road and what'd you do so I turn around this way [Music] the word uh exploring how did what did you think about that word any impressions so yeah at the time that I spoke with him when he used that word uh multiple times exploring uh it struck me as an odd word to use um why because at that time um Mr Burgos had been an agent at the same station at the original station for I believe about nine years so he had experience working uh that area of operations um for many years just as I did so I really didn't like I never would have thought anybody who used the word exploring uh for that week the only time you ever hear typically an agent use the word exploring would be if we're going to a brand new area we've never worked at or if you've been gone for a long time detailed to another station or another Academy for a few years then you come back well you can explore and see what's changed what's different if if you're going through a location that you've been through hundreds of times or more exploring just seemed like a very odd choice of words for that okay so you told jury that you received a call that you're going to respond to at the 13 Mile Marker did you go yes sir okay and uh how long or tell us from there what if anything happened so so I proceeded uh north of 13 Mile Marker uh as I approached the and identified the individual that uh was from the call out Master description that that the our dispatcher had put out uh I as I approached them I went to exit my vehicle I heard a radio transmission on the on our radio from he found a woman who was injured uh on the on the uh near the Riverbanks on one of the River Roads there near the end of Bristol and he was asking for another agent that was also an area to I guess he had seen there another agent there to come and help him and he was asking for EMTs for the lady because he said she was she was injured and you more or less remember around uh so that was that was more or less around uh 20 minutes after 11 or so because like I said it was around 1105 11 10 or so when I encountered uh Mr Blue Ghost there near the bridge and then uh you know driving time to get up to the pilot there uh and like I said as soon as I arrived there around the 13 Mile Marker uh it was when he put that over the radio so it was more or less around 11 20ish what do you do after you hear that call of him asking for other agents so when I heard that call um like I said I was I was encountering this other individual I went ahead in the medley conducted my immigration inspection with that individual uh which turned out to be he was a United States citizen um as I went to leave he asked me for a bottle of water I took a bottle of water real quick that I had in my ice chest I got back in my vehicle and proceeded uh back south uh towards towards Bristol to assist any way that I could so you go back to you make the the location you said you entered to where yes sir so I proceeded South on IH-35 uh exited the Shiloh exit uh went down Las Cruces uh to Mines Road uh Mines Road is just a block up there to Bristol from North on on mines Bristol went all the way to the end of Bristol as I arrived at the end of Bristol the the gate that's there at the end that that gives us access to the river areas the dirt roads that are there was closed and locked um so I exit my vehicle as I was unlocking that lock uh I could hear an ambulance was sounded like an ambulance coming up Bristol uh so I opened up that gate brought my my truck inside and waited for the ambulance to arrive so they could either go through the open gate uh or I could take them if they didn't if they chose not to bring their ambulance because obviously it's a bigger heavier vehicle that's not maybe designed for off-road use is jury you mentioned Bristol Road yes Mrs Bristol right here and then at the end right here touch the tree into this and that's a lot gate so there's a gate there you have heat yes that all all Agents from my station would have access yeah like I said I waited for the ambulance to arrive the ambulance arrived they went ahead and stopped right here on the end of the pavement they got out of their vehicle and they kind of close my vehicle they asked me uh what What's the admission uh and as I was driving South uh on 35 I heard uh another agent get on the radio and say that they could check their pulse and they couldn't find the calls so let them know if they can't find a pulse winner so she possibly is deceased so at that moment they went ahead they turned around they went back to their vehicles they retrieved some other equipment that's all I heard yet so I didn't know they're going straight in turning left turns back so where do I go straight left right so one agent said hey I'll come out and get you so I thought I was waiting on Keys another books agent came out on foot that was encourages he came out on foot of that road right at my vehicle at the same time that the few keys were getting their equipment so I mean you drive my truck you in the MPS jump in the bed of my truck and we'll proceed it down down show us which way you so we went straight down this road right here uh made a left turn and then turn right here and put on the Riverside of this little island of gas and brushes here so we're right here there's already a kilo unit apart there and then put that for K1 before you saw that computer unit so that that key was already there for two ignition so there's already a keto unit there correct sir and uh what do you do with your business so now you're at the Airport [Music] foreign so let's talk about what you see when you get off the back of your truck so as we arrive there instead agent 1800 park my vehicle directly behind the queue unit that was already there which was Mr burgos's unit I went ahead and me and the empties all exited the back of the truck making her and also exited my truck so as I got there bmts immediately approached uh the female that was on the ground there I saw her she was uh further down the road in front of the tequila unit that was already there she was laying across the road kind of at an angle she was facing away from me and somewhat face down yes sir okay I don't know if you can turn it just a little bit further so y'all know that they're good at the beginning and maybe a little further back let's look I know the jurors here on the side are not able to see on the running time all right so been enjoying what you saw okay so this orientation this is the road that came in from Bristol comes right here like I said is this left turn this is the item it's in the middle um well that's right here my kilo here is parked right behind that so as I exited the vehicle I saw a female's body laying across the road on the motorcycle around here like I said she was facing away from me um someone face down like she had her arm across and then he was on the process I was here Facebook as soon as a female she had long hair she had a lot of blood around her hair back up her backpack area upper body she also a large blood spot on the right hip it's pulling up blood right there near the hip um I can see in everybody also a lot of blood splattered on the ground the dirt there into pulling the blood there around her body there in the dirt also behind at the end of her feet I find there that was so more or less right here there was a large line remember the body mic or something because when you're thinking outward this way it's great doesn't help behind her uh a little bit I guess that was that's covered by the top of that box any other options Maybe uh [Music] foreign yes sir okay 123 yes sir 187 yes sir 24. yes sir 206. yes sir 125. yes sir 126. yes sir 127. yes sir okay okay 127 128 yes sir 129 yes sir 132 yes sir 133 yes sir 134 yes sir 135 yes sir 248. yes sir 250 yes sir and 251. yes sir okay I'm going to show some graphic photos what he saw all right but so you described seeing a female laying face down yes sir I'm going to show you 123 is when you're approaching is that what you see that's correct serious show you one one eighty seven yes sir you mentioned that her arm was under her body correct you said that you solved blood splatters yes it runs better yes or that would be consistent with Lysol what do you do what's happening at this time so at the time I arrived there like I said kind of took me a minute to take it all in the EMTs approached the female began to use some of their equipment to attach to her um so I observed how she was laying the surroundings um observed the other agents that were there um all of the other agents that were there on the scene except for one were kind of over in hanging out near that little uh grassy Island that you could run down on the map there near the trucks uh off to the left and then one agent uh supervisor Burgos I could see him on the other side of uh the female's body uh and he was facing back and forth up and down the road there uh looked like he was just looking down at the road looking at the area okay let me ask you so it would be three other agents and myself okay and you say budos is past the body correct on the on the trail yes on the dirt road there where there's blood spattered yes sir what are your impressions about what you're seeing or what's going on so when I saw him down there um walking up and down back and forth uh my initial thought was well he shouldn't be down there possibly contaminating the the crime scene uh but then my as I as I thought about it as well he's only one agent down there he's leaving one set of footprints um he should know not to step on any other Footprints uh that he might see there uh to contaminate things um so he would his his shoe print footprint should be able to be excluded from any uh Footprints of the any other victims or the perpetrator of this so at the moment my initial okay go ahead yes he was wearing uh some black boots yes sir sure go ahead thank you a little bit loud on the speaking so right here the blueprints that you can see in the dirt right here those will be those will match the boots that I jerk and wearing that day was there a rocky Boop that's one of those books that I said that's available on our website to order that a lot of it is where those are the the equipment the protagon that is left by those particular foods that make their models that the other tracks that were out there as far as representative show some Maple tracks I can see some other different evidence I'm going to show you 117. so we'll be able to see here um as I was there observing the other stuff there I was able to see some lines that were in the dirt um that I discussed with the other agents that were there at that initial moment we weren't sure what they were yet um later we discovered what they were but there would be these straight lines right here which were consistent with a with a stroller um that was discovered there um it looks like it was stopped here and turned sideways also in here right here towards the bottom uh you see uh the same footprints that are right here these marks also consistent with uh those same boots that agent Burgos was wearing so right here if you see at the tip of where my finger is there's another footprint right there that is not consistent with the boots he was wearing it looks to me I would identify that uh in my experience with tracking individuals throughout my career I sometimes tennis shoe running shoe cross trainer type athletic shoot which none of the agents that were there they would have been wearing show them again where you see that 10 issue right there the tip of the PIN right there you see the squares and the round part of the heel right there that'll be consistent with that you understand and that tennis shoe is around the same lines of our wagon or stroller or something yes so right here uh right up here you see the lines of the wagon uh or I'm sorry the stroller um right here where it stops turn sideways and then right beneath that uh or the the traction that Advantage okay and that is exhibit 117. and then on the tire track marks that was 206. the first footprints that he identified the Blue Book's boots at 1 18. after you see moon goes walking is he walking towards you away from you on that trailer so when I first arrived he was he was just walking up and down back and forth uh both towards me and then turn around away uh he went back and forth maybe about three times um and then he proceeded back towards me uh as the MPS were were working on the on the female uh past them as he proceeded past me um he sort of scuffed this I'm sorry not pass me towards me uh past the female's body um he scrubbed his feet a few times and then uh he made contact with that that large Rock uh that I mentioned that was covered in blood uh he calls that to to roll uh uh maybe a foot or two uh down the road uh disturb that quite a bit and then he proceeded to pass me uh back to her past that point back towards me towards the truck uh where I was at um he just went to the front of his truck there near the near the driver's side door and he just stayed right there uh in that area for that moment or yes sir can you uh demonstrate I'm down here and demonstrate don't you mean that you in front of the um I want to ask you walking that way demonstrate what you see beautiful's doing so as he's walking down the road he just kind of instead of picking up his feet I normally would just kind of grabbed him a little bit crazy okay [Music] now when he's coming back towards you uh you say he also uh kicks that he literally hits the rock with his feet yes sir yeah I mean he doesn't hold back and kick it like he's kicking a soccer ball for ball something but yeah he definitely like he said skips his feet disturbs that rock takes it moves it you know foot or two down the road causes it to roll and that rock in relation to where the body was so it was a little bit closer to the trucks and kind of behind her feet uh on the road there it was within a couple of feet of her of her feet [Music] this is exhibit 123. are you able to identify that I see that rock that you were describing two weeks I'm going to show you two five seven exhibit 257. yes sir so it should be that that rock that's marked right here with the with the number two um it's right there that that is the route that he kicked him up yes sir so uh did you see any other rocks with blood on them or did you go past the body yourself at that time no okay later yes further down the trail uh had you recognize this rocket butt or not uh no sir okay but is that consistent with the blood spatter yes sir okay so after uh he walks around the body disturbs that rock what else do you see him do so he comes back to the truck uh like I said to his vehicle he stopped there um so as I was there looking observing the scene I uh I started thinking about everything that I had seen and heard up at that point and as I was traveling to uh the end of Bristol there um I had heard several people on the radio uh somebody had made made mention of uh they believed uh she may have been attacked uh on the Riverbanks or possibly on the Mexican side of the river and it looked like maybe this was you know she was trying to get to some help and this is as far as she made it so based on the way that she was laying across the road there was some blood flutter coming uh you know kind of from the direction that she was laid there I said well let me let me check towards the river and see if maybe that is true maybe I can find a blood trail where she came from uh maybe there's other victims possibly the perpetrator that did this is still in that area near the Riverbanks uh so yes yes sir so at that time I was on I was dressed in the same uniform right now armed with a sidearm I also retrieved uh my rifle from my vehicle I had a Service issued M4 rifle retrieve that and I went to agent Burgos and I let him know hey I'm gonna go check this brush area towards the river so as we mentioned one truck two right here everybody was here orientation so I left my truck I went to miss Burgos I said I'm gonna go get into the master I'm gonna check towards the river try not to disturb anything if I find anything of an injury look for any other possible victims uh down here so this is actually part of the clearing area where they create produce a lot you can see it's kind of here so I went into the grass right here under the trucks in the front of the trucks I decided because she was laying an angle this way and on a search from from Florida's where she's at back this direction Atlanta directions she was traveling uh when she stopped her so I went into the progressive area there right off the edge of the road I started searching uh let's executing back to Florida for any kind of Blood Trail coming from that that direction and he kind of service in the grass any fresh grass geometry went down to indicate to hurt everybody else had traveled from the river did you find anything all the way to the Riverbanks I did not find anything in that direction so I came back to my vehicle um seen anything uh interest over there that would indicate who think so I put my rifle back in my vehicle uh we're short time longer at that time uh there's been a couple of uh uniform piggy officers and I believe uh scene as well the EMTs were meeting they had already disconnected equipment from her and heard them make mentioned that they believe she was giving this season for probably about two hours at that point so as they left I asked them I noticed that she didn't have shoes on uh on her feet did you guys take your shoes off and they said no no we didn't take your shoes off they were already shoes already Barefoot but we did cut the back of her pants it's other than cutting the back of her pants they do not disturb it back where do you go now on this on this map so I heard the Yankees left uh say they're thinking for a moment as well just because she's angled that way doesn't mean she didn't sort of thing that way so let me search the same thing I did just rolled out any other possible victims that might be held over here make sure that this security is safe for us to be working on EMTs everybody else to come into so I decided to search for upper body I already searched from her body back this direction so let me start at her body and go this direction now forward so I went back into the grass again the ladies know what I was doing go back to the rest again stay off the road so I wouldn't contaminate anything I went back into the rest and start proceeding down the road looking for communication of grass trails and blood Trails uh indication input income performance now speaking about grass around this area if you notice anything that you provide anywhere in Nebraska yes sir so as I proceeded further down down the trail here on one off the agent s and head up to more or less this location here haven't seen anything yet um and then I noticed a large area of grass maybe about four or five feet uh diameter that was all smashing that down right off the edge of the road like maybe a foot off the boat right there maybe two feet off the large area of brass that would Smash down that looked like someone had either sat there spot their milk down there they had spent some time right there uh it wasn't somebody walking through uh you know talk about your training and years of looking for signing okay so at this point in time I've been a book show for almost 18 years because I have 18 years so a large part of my career I spent uh going operating with all time cutting operations and even if you're not doing synthetic details with interval so I'll give you a lot of tracking so a lot of that involves identifying sign tracking following that sign uh sometimes over over miles of ranch Lance from one Ranch to another through brush rocks dirt and being able to identify the type of sign by print size shape pattern that's within the footprint and also the age of the footprint as well based on how long it is you're not going to be justifying I mean uh looking at the exactly the big post report a couple years and then speak that way that way it's important Direction so so yeah I spent a lot of my my career uh looking at attraction dirt um and being able to follow them identify them hm uh things of that nature uh and it doesn't it's not also always tracks in the dirt like I mentioned brass Trails um if a person walks through uh grass especially if any height uh you're gonna lay down knock down some of that grass you're going to leave an indication you can also usually identify the humans from an animal sometimes but here you do see some computer assets yes sir okay um so further up Trail around this area here he usually identify humans from an animal but here you do see some Bluegrass that is matted down yes sir so further up the trail around this area here uh there was a large area four or five feet of diameter that was laid down matted down uh that would indicate somebody was there for either for an extensive period of time or they uh you know you're pacing around or they melt down uh or lay down or slot it down there to make themselves smaller so at that moment my first thought when I saw that was possibly whoever attacked her was laid here uh awaiting here in Ambush for the individual for the yes he did something walking so I was here by the trucks the lady's body was more or less here I observed him walking all the way up past here uh all the way up this area out of my site and then back again I said at least two uh to three times and then we walked back you walk past that area and would any of the trained pork Troy didn't have noticed that might address yes it's close to the road as it was uh yeah very easily to see ACC very visible anybody could spend any time uh should be able to pick that up and the supervisor didn't indicate anything about that clue okay so what do you do after you see that grass so once I saw that grass like I said I looked at I thought well maybe this somebody stayed here uh trying to Ambush this individual uh so I kind of kept looking at the edges of it I noticed a grass Trail uh in the grass that was matted down uh leading that grassy area going more towards towards the river into the brush right here uh kind of curve over this direction as I let my eyes follow that grass Trail I first picked up uh color of some clothing there and I know it's still bloody uh and then and I could tell that it was chai what do you do so I called out to the other officers and agents that was there uh I don't really have Vision visual contact with them anymore because of the slight curve in the road and the uh because I was off the road into the brush if I was on the road I would have been able to see them but I was off road into the grass there so you're not sorry you're not visible to anybody at this time nothing aware of okay so how do you so I just vocalized to them uh verbally what do you say I said hey I found another body over here and I said I'm pretty sure it's a tie and then I heard some people localized back to me you know oh [ __ ] no man I know so some run some grounds people obviously reacting to that and then they they just told me okay uh we're coming towards we're going to come to you what do you do so at that point I went ahead and stepped uh closer to the child obviously first uh probably there was to see if there was any signs of life from the child if you didn't do that to help the child as I approached I didn't make contact physically with the child I posted a little bit about four or five feet um I was able to observe the child there he was laying face up uh his head was turned to the right he got quite a bit of blood on his uh his shirt um some of his pants that was a large uh visible cut on the on the side of his neck right where you're already artery would be there was a full of Blood on the grass from that you could see blood that was coagulated already on his neck there his mouth was partially open uh his eyes were open about halfway uh I watched his chest uh see if I see any signs of breathing or anything like that I saw those signs of respiration at all whatsoever and it was still Supply is also beginning to so it's another officer approached me got to my location uh he asked me did you touch the child and all I said no I have not described to him what I observed he observed the same thing uh definitely somebody had already had also asked they do medium cheese back and I don't know I'm pretty sure we're past that point and once also with the knowledge that they told me that the FEMA have been deceased for a few hours as well uh so the other officer showed up there to agree with the assessment so now I'm pretty sure the consequencies for a amount of time beyond our out there what do you do after you see the child uh what else do you do so from here where the child was I went ahead and uh in that same that officer that showed up there we moved back closer to the road I believe some other officers and detectives were also coming towards us at that time so as I I was standing inside the grass here and I looked across the road this direction I was able to see sticking up out of the grass a wheel sticking up there and part of uh just some some cloths of R sticking up uh and it caught my attention right away as it looked across the road because it was very very clean uh looked nude and looked sunburned Sun faded uh it was plastic and rubber so usually when those things are outside the elements obviously they they become eroded by the Sun the color will fade on the turn whitish grayish I just didn't reflect that all the very clean and new can you show us where you saw that going there so if the child was more or less in this area that was across the road here in the grass so that was the stroller um so as I look at it across there I called out to the other agents that were there because we had been discussing already uh those lines that I mentioned earlier on the road that stood out and we we hadn't really figured out what they were yet we talked about them maybe some kind of cart or wagon so I called out and agencies hey I think I found uh the cart over here and uh I said I think it's a stroller so I called them and then when I said that I heard uh supervisor Burgos from the area where he was at he was over with all the other agency of the trucks I heard him respond he said oh yeah I saw that but I just thought it was some kind of something garbage system trashed on there okay [Music] did you find anything else while you're out there uh yes sir so as I after I saw that that stroller I crossed the road uh in a manner best I could to not disturb anything on the road uh proceeded to it was able to observe uh the back side of that stroller facing away from me I was able to see uh some potatoes looked like some some Doritos chips a pack of wipies uh would kind of laying and falling off the back of it it was laying on its side like I said with the part where the child would sit facing away from me so as I was looking at it I asked for another officer police officer that had shown up to approach from the opposite side he approached from the opposite side and he confirmed to me that there was no no child in there I asked him those any children any other child visible in the stroller uh to make sure that obviously we don't have somebody else there he said no that it was empty so I uh I didn't see any other kind of disturbance on that side of the of the the road so I crossed the road back over again after I cross over back over towards the river I went ahead and proceeded uh further down river uh also staying in the grass off the road so I didn't disturb any kind of foot sign or Footprints or evidence that was there um looking for any indication as I said earlier that someone had approached the road from from that side of the Riverside uh of the road uh I was able to see a very very slight faint uh grass Trail uh going away look like away from uh the road towards the river uh it looked more like an animal Trail to me than a human Trail it looked very faint very thin uh which is one of the ways we got kind of identify uh human versus animal grass Trails uh but I decided to investigate it anyway so I as I walked down through that little thin grass Trail towards the river uh maybe 20 yards or so I got to a drop-off area where it dropped down towards the river uh right before that I saw a shoe laying there in the uh in the grass it was a white shoe cloth and as I looked at it to me it looked uh like a match it was very similar to the shoe that I had seen uh near the feet of the of the female victim so I called out again uh I asked over there I said hey can you get described to me the shoe that she's wearing is there any kind of markings on it any kind of brand anything like that the shoe that that's near her body um they said they didn't see any kind of markings or brand or anything on at the time uh I was able to see on the inside of the shoe uh on the the insole because the shoe was face up the one I could see uh he said memory foam on it I said okay I took that away uh they just told me hey there's another officer coming over there he marked it with some uh with some some yellow tape uh and then I proceeded back towards the road uh looked on the road itself we proceeded a little bit further uh down river uh just looking for any kind of sign on the road any kind of footprints that were there that I might be able to identify the only visible fresh footprints that I could see there uh were consistent with uh the boots that Adrian Burgos was wearing so at the time I said okay well agent Burgos walked down here this these are his boot prints I don't see anything else so I went ahead and moved back towards the trucks through the grass you know way back towards our vehicles there as I went back towards the vehicles and passed the female's body again uh I stopped uh had a look at the shoe that she had there and I could see uh inside of that shoe on the inside it also said memory foam and it looked like an exact match for that other shoe that was over there uh in the grass and I'll show you I'm going to show you 124 this is an area among the that trail right um and had you happen to notice blood splatters all along that trail but let me ask you this specifically was your blood draw from where those stroller marks had stopped back to the body of the victim so at at the time that I was there my focus was more on what's in the grass coming from the river bank or going to the riverbank uh more so than what was actually on the road because I knew uh agent Burgos had already walked up that road so I wasn't really looking too hard at checking it so I I didn't really observe the trail between the the stroller marks and the bodies not not in detail yes that wasn't what I was looking for um and also published uh some photos of the child or graphical show you 125. and you see what other three what we see here uh yes sir that would be consistent with the view that I saw from uh the area where I saw the the matadown grass near the road looking towards in into the brush area uh when I first noticed a child that would be pretty much the view that I had there or some something similar to that I'll show you 126. yes sir that would be as you closer approach to a child there 127 . yes sir that would be consistent with what I saw that day let me see here so here would be the view looking back across the road uh towards where the stroller is there uh as I mentioned you can see the wheel sticking up part of the golf material 129. yes sir same same shoulder 133. yes sir that'll be the view from the back of it where I could see into it I'll show you 134. yes sir the condition this is what you have described it looked like something new that yes especially the cloth parts that you can see are not Faded by the Sun at all the the black plastic on it um we also said that you had seen uh some wipies correct yes wipers are laying on the ground right here Doritos are right there 135. I'm going to show you 248 uh this picture of the shoe yes sir yes sir that's the that's the white shoe that I found in the grass yes sir same shoe yeah 250. yes sir same show that the shoe matched the shoe that was near the victim yes sir correct I'm going to show you uh 149 this is an aerial view you recognize this area yes sir um you want to point out anything specific or no well these these particular vehicles yes sir the bottom vehicle in the picture there would have been Mr Burgos destruct the one above that behind it within my truck yes sir how do you believe do you have an opinion on that shoe ended up in that location um to me it looked like it was probably tossed over there because there wasn't like I said a a clear grass Trail going to it that looked like a human grass Trail actually there was just a hint of an animal grass Trail starting towards it and then after that there wasn't really anything until I just I got to that area and looked around and found that shoe so to me it appeared like somebody tossed her through it over that direction same thing with the stroller uh when I looked at when I crossed the road from where the child's body was towards the stroller I was able to observe the the tracks of the stroller there the lines and they they went forward and then they turned sideways and then they just disappeared it didn't look like it was rolled into the grass it looked like it was probably picked up and tossed into the grass and there was no grass Trail going from the road to the stroller it was just there let me follow up on that so from the tracks that you saw the stroller tracks had a stopping point correct is that yes sir yes and you said the Wasabi point of that stroller had it moving either left or right but no longer proceedings out correct or yes and around that stroller you've identified that there was some other Rocky boot tracks that was wearing when you got there yes sir yes and you also identified from one of the exhibits that you saw in which in your experiences a 10 issue mark around the shorter marks correct yes sir after you have found baby the baby and you've already discovered the stroller and you've also found the shoe that matches the victim's shoe on the trail what if any type of contact you have with agent voodles at this time so after I went back to our our vehicles uh obviously on the way back I was asked by one of the detectives there uh to write a written statement uh synopsis of just what I had seen and observe that day so uh when I got back there uh all the other agents virtual agents that were on scene they had a paper statement that they were they were filling out and writing they were actually all over my truck pretty much using it as a table uh the top of the truck side of the truck because there's not a lot to write on out there um so as I approached them I noticed uh that agent Burgos had two copies of the form um because I say does anybody have an extra copy they said Google has an extra I know he had two uh and he said no no we ran out go get go get one from all the officers okay so I went back to one of the uniform Kitty officers that was there I said hey they asked me to do that they can ask me to do a written statement do you have any more uh that officer said no we gave them enough for all you guys one of you guys should have one I have an extra so I went back I said hey I went back to Asian Burgos I said hey they said they gave you guys an extra for me to be able to have one and he said oh no I I started one and then uh it was just a rough draft I messed it up it's a rough draft so I used the other one the extra one I said okay I went back to the PD officer I said hey they told me that he told me he messed one up so he had to use the extra one so now I need one okay wait a few minutes and then we'll go up up to my vehicle and get another one did you eventually fill out a voluntary statement of what you did there yes I did I proceeded up up to the end of Bristol uh with one of the uniform officers um he gave me another statement I sat in the front of his vehicle and I filled that out [Music] right it's a it's a you don't have a ton of room to write on them it's just like a page and a half or maybe a page uh that's handwritten so it's just a quick synopsis summary of these are these are some of the things I observed when I arrived on the scene let me ask you your experience um a murder scene no this is the first murder scene that I've responded to I've seen other dead bodies that I've responded to in the brush but those have all been uh usually related to heat heat stress dehydration exposure the elements um trains uh contact with the train things your impressions is your suppose you're one of the first ones to arrive um the amount of blood that's there um mostly the amount of blood the splatter um look like multiple wounds like I said there was a full separate one on on near one of our hits and then all the blood around her head and neck area uh to me it looked like a violent crime didn't look like anything else I would describe at any time that you were there did agent bugles inform you that he had found or had in his possession the cell phone of either the victims no sir not at all at any time that you were there with your supervisor agent who goes if you never at any time inform you that he knew who the victim's identity was no sir not at all at any time make any statements as to what he thought had happened there in your presence no not not in my presence never mentioned that he knew her at all or recognized her or anything thank you we're gonna have you come back after lunch uh for further examination uh from perhaps both Council but for now we're going to go and cut off for lunch we're gonna

from there and uh and if I could ask you guys to please hit that like button please please please I know BC has been asking and asking and asking some of you guys are just listening take a second look at your screen hit the like button and we will keep going um officer you testified on direct examination uh you've been a border patrol agent for 23 years is that correct yes sir and so and so he said it had been about yeah about two months short of 18 years yes and uh you also told Mr Alanis that during that 18 years you've never encountered a murder scene is that correct that's correct sir and uh you're a border patrol agent you're not a police officer correct correct but you know not to disturb a crime scene correct correctly we've received limited training that yes and uh you testified on direct examination that you thought it was suspicious that a supervisor Virgo sevillas was in your mind disturbing a crime scene is that correct correct sir okay now um you also on direct examination talked about tracking yes was your experience and tracking correction um do you hold any certifications or titles in tracking no sir that's not something that the border patrol issues certifications are titles for and uh correct yes sir and uh you said that was the day of the murders April 9th correct I made one statement the day of the murders and a second statement that they following yes sir okay so one the day of and then April 9th and then another on April 10th that'd be accurate sir yes all right let's uh let's take this opportunity look at your phones right now and uh uh put them turn them off or put him on assignment please thank you appreciate it so the one that was April 9th the day of the murders right that was you gave that statement before you learned that supervisor Virgo sabilis was the suspect is that correct that'd be correct yes and then the statement that you gave April 10th that was at the police station is that correct correct sir and uh that was after you knew Mr Burgos Avila's was a suspect correct and uh I'd like to talk to you about um the statement that you made April 9th prior to knowing that Mr Virgo Sevilla was a suspect to start um in that statement that you gave at the scene it was immediately after the events occurred correct correct when they were all fresh in Your Mind Correct yes now in that statement you gave April 9th you didn't say anything about Mr Burgos Avila's acting suspicious is that correct can I have a do you have a copy of the statement I can refer to like you haven't memorized the statement [Music] um I apologize are you connected technology is it possible it's there it popped up um we got it now do you need a moment uh to look this over yeah that'd be that'd be great you can see that indicates that it's equal to nine correct that's the day of uh these murders correct yes Facebook and this is your handwriting that you wrote is that correct correct um you can see it on that screen light in front of you is that answer yes let me know when you've finished reviewing what's on the screen you can go ahead and go to the next let me know when you've finished okay you were asked on direct examination by the district attorney if you didn't include everything and you said you did not and it was because you ran out of space is that correct well I said there's limited space to include yes now statements you left a lot of it blank is that correct yes sir okay so on this original statement you didn't run out of space is that correct but fear not yes okay and uh reviewing it today your original statement there's nothing in there that you indicated that Mr Virgo sevillas was acting suspicious is that correct no correction yes okay at the time I just dismissed his behavior as you know as as you noted Georgians don't often respond to murder scenes uh scenes of that nature so I just dismissed it in my mind at the time as okay his odd behavior is just because he's never handled this kind of scene before maybe he's thrown off by what he's seen here so that's why I didn't feel at that time I need to mention that so um you said that his odd behavior maybe it was the effect of um seeing a dead body is that correct at that moment that's how I dismissed it Justified it after you learned that Mr Burgos abilis was a suspect that you focused uh your written statement on uh supervisor Virgo sabilas is that correct I don't know my focus might written statement on I wrote my statement as I observed in fact sir and uh the same that you gave April 10th you'd recognize it if I showed it to you is that correct and I have marked the April 10th statement as uh number two using proper stickers defendants two I apologize because please excuse me those two pages and what is uh defense exam number two do those accurately reflect the statement that you gave on April 10th I'm sure they do can have a moment to read the entirety okay sir does that what's marked as defense exhibit number two accurately reflect the statement that you gave on April 10th yes um at this time I'd ask that defendants to be admitted you can use it for impeachment but not to introduce so stain you can obviously use it for all other purposes that you intend to I'd like to talk to you about um your testimony about the rock uh being kids right and I want to make sure I understand uh your testimony today as I understand and you gave a demonstration to the jury you set that it's got the ground right uh kicking a rock several feet that was near the body is that correct am I stating your yes okay correctly all right now sir um thank you every time you tell this story um the story changes a little bit isn't that correct I don't believe yourself sir no okay so I just showed you what was marked uh as defense exhibit now two um and in that written statement and it is after you knew Mr Virgo was a suspect who wrote I witnessed Virgos walking up and down the road past the female body that I did not witness him touch either body or any other evidence on the scene isn't that what you wrote in a written statement okay so I just want to make sure everyone understands today you said that you saw him drag his feet and kick a rock which was very obviously a part of the scene in the evidence correct the day after the incident when it was it was brushing your mind and you had the best recall of the events you said you did not witness Mr Burgos touch either the body or any evidence of the same correct that's correct that that's what I wrote and uh in the exhibit that I just showed you says I hereby swear or affirm that the contents of this written statement are true and correct and I understand that any falsification or untruthfulness will constitute a violation of the law of perjury correct correct that's what it says and um as a border patrol you're a member of law enforcement right yes so you understood what that language meant yes a sworn statement it must be complete and accurate correct correct because you understand that a jury of judges and attorneys will look at that statement and rely on it correct correct so if I make sure um go ahead States exhibit which is obvious here 257. in the bins the state does not have any of the exhibits up accounts admit it again can you put them back on the bin please I think there's two approach these and that's where you came zoom on the pictures it makes it difficult it'd be better for those anymore okay if I could see a larger portion this year so with them so I just want to make sure everyone understands your description of the time that morning is that um about a few minutes after you saw Mr Virgo Sevilla say he was exploring or the call over the radio and that's where you came directly to Father mcnoble Park is that correct correct it was about 10 minutes after I spoke to him and you went immediately to the scene and were trying to assist that's where you witnessed the dead body correct correct and uh it was around that time right immediately on the scene where you saw Mr Burgess adilis on the other side of the body while the three or four other three plus you other border patrol agents were on the island correct correct and uh you thought it unusual that he would be on the other side because he might be disturbing the scene correct and that is prior to um and I apologize on the background and then it was moments after you saw him on that scene on the other side of the body that you saw him scuffing his feet or dragging his feet and kicked the rock that's depicted in the 257 is that correct correct right and so that's prior to Crime Scene um investigators coming out and taking photos correct yes okay so this photo in 257 which has an Evidence marker here and the was apparently taken by uh Laredo Police Department crime scene that is after um Mr Roberto sevillas kicked the rock is that correct yes it would have to be okay and uh I don't have the best eyesight but sir um you'd said you discussed on direct examination your ability of looking at tracks and tracking I'm going to point out for the district attorney some shoot could you come show uh the jury where on this Photograph the tracks of Mr Virgos of illustrating the speed bar I can look and it's nice okay okay I'm sorry from that photo I can't point out any any drag marks that I could identify [Music] stage 257 it was States 257 yes sir now I understand that uh you and supervisor Burgos a VLS both worked at the Laredo North Station is that correct correct and uh in the almost nine years that um supervisor Professor Villas was at the border patrol you two never worked one-on-one is that correct a few times uh like not one-on-one in the same truck ran together but maybe at the checkpoint uh some other assignments like that where we would have interaction yes but but not one-on-one for an entire shift no sir okay and uh you've been there almost twice as long as supervisor Burgos is that correct yes sir okay okay and uh uh had you ever applied for a promotion or applied to become a supervisor I applied one time I believe back in 2006 2007-ish and that was it didn't get selected and never did apply again um don't I pass the witness map thank you for your patience any follow-up redirect about that statement no sir I think yeah which uh statement to that did I just had it to you when did you write that uh this was on April 10th uh the day following uh the worst now you began to try to explain uh maybe perhaps by your testimony didn't include everything or your statement that include all your testimonies correct as I mentioned earlier also that there is limited space on these forms on this form I did use the entire space available um did run out of space and I had already made a statement the day prior uh which included a synopsis of everything I had observed at the soon um so I went back and tried to make sure I included everything that I hadn't included in that first statement the day before the events that I had not described fire um as well as I also made a verbal statement uh while I was there at the police department uh outlying the whole the whole experience of the day which should go inside with everything I've testified to here today so I felt that was that was way more important than whatever I wrote here because I did have limited space and I was asked to give a quick synopsis of what I observed here that's what things we were writing it on the hood of a truck I was sitting in the front seat of a police car and after having discovered uh we're seeing a dead female great a dead baby Chris a bloody crime scene yes or not yeah there was a lot of things emotions visuals to process and and you know process in your head so you have a lot going on at this moment right yeah sure and I'm sure still doing some processing the following day as well everything that you testify here today is that the truth yes sir to make anything of this off no sir no no now at the time of this this Trail this dirt Trail in your best estimates I want you to go back there in your mind from where the stroller Mark stopped to where the female's body lay how far is that distance estimate um maybe 15 yards at most your testimony to the jury was that you saw him pass the body dragging his feet right or the the female's body we're talking about a 15-yard space right but what was the work you used when he was right he wasn't expecting to speak that entire distance okay was he scuffing his feet the entire distance no sir no just just as he passed her body and approached the location where that rock was no he was scuffing his feet until he made contact with the rock and then he began to walk normally following that you did put in your statement that you found it oddly and said he was on patrol right yes sir do you remember how long you were interviewed by the by the by the police the following day yes um maybe an hour and I don't I don't contain exact time but rough estimate maybe an hour or so yeah it could be longer should you give can you give uh with your hands an approximate size of the rocks of the jury compared to another object what size would it be I would say maybe maybe a little bit larger than a baseball I would say something somewhere between a baseball and softball size Maybe no but you didn't put that in your statement no sir anytime verbally say that to any of the officers not I don't recall After experiencing what you experienced in this case this murder scene did you have the occasion of having other memories or facts come into your mind after yes yeah certain things that I didn't I noticed at the time but maybe they didn't seem as relevant or as important as I as I kind of thought about and processed the whole the day and seeing more in my mind they became kind of stood out more they kind of kind of clicked into place yes sir did at any time that you got there did did it ever cross your mind that supervisory agent Ronald Anthony Burgos Alvarez was the person that killed this young mother and baby not until later after when I was informed that they were looking to take him into custody at that point that's when a lot of things started to make sense like but none in the beginning when I was first observing everything I never would have imagined that one of my fellow agents would have done this you know when you wrote that first statement no sorry I never would have imagined that Mr Burgos or any other agent can work on that and even after the 10th when you gave your statement you continue you still continue to process correct yes and everything you come and told this jury today under oath is the truth absolutely yes sir absolutely all right sir on the redirects you um just told the district attorney that uh Mr Virgo sevillas stopped his feet not the entire way but Kick the rock you have in front of you um defense exhibit two could you look at that second page um and please read to the jury the last sentence that you wrote the day after the incident let's do it the way you enter ask a question perhaps can be done differently because you're asking to read off a document that would have normally have been already admitted not admitted you're using it for Patron purposes and therefore we do it the way the rule says that we should do it with regard to that so you want to approach the secret Excuse me yes sir okay so just Mr uh Mr um let me make sure we get this right hit the like button yeah they hate us because lady knows maybe you hit it you hit the dislike button BC how could you I knew it was you I knew it you've told the district's turning just now that everything you've said today is true correct great okay and then also I'm sorry Mr Bronx but I need to object it in publishing it on Monday please ask the questions or or publicly but the role says the day after um the incentive occurred you wrote uh after I arrived at the scene where the deceased subjects were found I witnessed Burgos walking up and down the road past the female body that I did not witness him touch either body or any other evidence at the scene that's what you wrote correct that is whatever a rule that's what I wrote yes sir you told the district attorney that the more time has passed things have come into your mind is that true yes sir okay okay so the statement that you swore to um under penalty of perjury that you gave the police the day after the incident is not true is that correct not sure I understand your question but I'll answer it this way the statement that I made was absolutely true and still is true when I was referring to evidence in that statement I'm referring to the body the clothing the stroller anything like that him walking up and down the road touching the dirt could be him touching evidence could it not yet I already made a statement that he was walking up and down the road so anything could be construed as evidence of blade of grass that had blood under the oven to touch I didn't visually see him interfere with any large pieces of evidence that were obviously hey that's evidence that's a stroller that's a body that's a piece of clothing that's what I was referring to in that statement that day so everyone understands because I thought on direct examination you said that when you saw that rock it was very obviously a piece of evidence it had blood on it it was obviously it was obvious that it was moved and Disturbed but so is every piece of dirt he stepped on so not every piece of dirt that he stepped on had blood correct I would imagine not no um I've passed onions okay Mr Nice your next witness sir agent good afternoon sir you've been sworn in is that correct please have a seat right up here get comfortable pull up your chair and we'll start the examination [Music] good afternoon sir good afternoon the full name of the record yes it's Francisco I'm employed at the border patrol agent and how long have you been employed as a nation in October it'll be 12 years my duties my responsibilities are to deter terrorists and terrorist weapons for coming into the United States and also to safeguard our borders from illegal activities that attempt to bypass legal Frontiers or ports of entries meaning human smuggedy or human or Contraband smoking prior to the uh border patrol uh work with any other law enforcement agencies I would go to the military for four years I was in the Marine Corps and prior to that I was a Transportation Security Agency for approximately a year and a half as a Federal Officer for your service thank you on April 9th of 2018 were you employed as a border patrol agent yes I was were you a supervisor no I was not I want to go back to that day where did you report to uh that day I reported to Atlanta North border patrol station my tour started at six in the morning and then last hit till uh four in the afternoon yes I was [Music] assigned an area that day as far as the area my duties that day were too pretty much take care of four new hires four new recruits that have been a barely employed in about were about to go to the academy so my job that day was pretty much to take care of them at the um at the old border patrol station on Zapata Highway it's for the South Station we call it old base seven my jobs that they were to pretty much take care of them while they get sworn in a field train yes I was a field train officer still currently am I'm sorry I'm still a filtering officer right now okay okay yes sir did you have a new recruit with you that day yes sir I did what was his name Johnny L Smith and uh uh did you at any time that day visit father mcable Park yes I did okay and uh how did you arrive at father mcable Park I want to say by pure coincidence my duties like I said were to be at the old uh the South Station I was supposed to be there as long as it took for the new uh recruits to get sworn in speak to the Chiefs fill out some paperwork and then up a lot of times we're there all day but thankfully that day around between 10 and 10 30 my team leader told me to pretty much start training my new recruit my new uh field training my trainee Johnny L Smith he told me that he would take care of the new hires and for me to go to the field and commence this training okay uh are you familiar with uh someone by the name of Ronald Anthony yes uh how are you familiar with him he was my supervisor on that particular day do you see him in the courtroom today yes I do clothing that he is wearing a black coat with black might be a silver guy I'm sorry reflect that he's identified Ronald Anthony glucose now uh you say he was your supervisor that day yes did you have any uh contact with him prior to to going to Father Maxwell Park only at muster he gave him he didn't give much but he was present at muster what happened that muster we show up they give the actual field agents or assignments for that day and I believe uh whether it was a supervisor or leading mustard or the Watch Commander asked him if he had anything to say I remember him speaking that morning um I think he gave us some like some words of um things to do I forgot what it was as far as their duties and that's how I remember him that day that he was president previous to this day yes how long had you worked under his supervision if you can recall how many times I guess as far as like I remember exactly when he became a supervisor but however long he was a supervisor um however many years or months he was a supervisor prior to that day April 9 2018. now I want to focus your attention to when you arrived at father McAdoo Park do you remember riding there yes I do you remember it's it's a complex correct yes okay that's pretty big do you remember uh how you gained entry into the on on that particular morning we came in through Lowry we went West and at the entrance of that Park that certain area to the soccer fields or the gate to the left and that gate on that particular morning it was open so that's how we gained entry into that area that we call the soccer fields I'm gonna hold this up for you and ask you to once again come over here yeah all right so the new Orient us here yes uh beginning we went West for the entrance and then to the left of the gate that's usually at the time of up until that time it was usually locked that particular morning it was open until we went into the park doing that which we saw because yes numbers yes you haven't readmitted it yet okay so I want you to Black Panther where you entered the part you said on Glory yeah it doesn't get itself to this area show me an arrow oh draw an arrow okay and put your initials above that okay and can you show us where the gate is I think it should be somewhere around this area yeah draw a line we'll use Navigators that's going to take a left there's another kid right there okay from here where did you go you went South and at the time there was a comic spots here that's where we parked as a little parking out here we reversed into that area is it in here yes okay so you can put a p there or yes before you park okay uh did you reverse into this yes I did my truck was Facing East into the neighborhood your initials right there okay and how long were you parked there no more than five minutes what were you doing we're going to nominate some maps that I had to sign my training that morning either not to compete the mission over the weekend so we were going to laminate them with Packaging um were you supposed to be in this area not initiating those terms we ended up there by pure coincidence um the time that you were there that you end up moving your vehicle at any time after the parking is only after at the time Mr wood was asking for my assistance and we'll get into that but now that I have a few standing here you say he asked you for assistance where would you have moved from here from here I would have moved to this area which is South towards what we call the best property over here that you drive or block free drugs are one so you ask for my assistance show me the direction you can throw we drove across the field well you cut through the field yes to soccer fields where did you cut to through here there's a dip this is where I parked yeah when I came to his assistance I saw his truck on this side and I parked directly across it for area where these where these vehicles were yes remember this island yes I did so I would have parked there initially when I came across all right um [Music] so going back to where you were you said you went in there you reversed in to that area next to the soccer field or next to the comics box we were there with uh Smith you said yes laminating Maps what if anything happens while you're laminating are we commenced to do that and no more than five minutes later my training is made he says hey there's another kilo coming in so it's a Ford F-150 I look over and I see the keto driving on the same Lower East driving West and it kind of slows down as it comes to us and we eventually find out it's Mr budos you come in contact with the supervisor yes after he parks to I guess our passenger side we call it he slow Rose to us I'm facing the neighborhood his truck is facing when he parts to our passenger side his truck is facing the river uh we lower our window he lowers his passenger window and I go ahead and throw my training hey it's supervisable to us and um at that moment in time he's grabbing onto the steering wheel and he's just looking over quietly kind of just like leaning over we're going to be in the air if you need it we're just going to be laminating Maps so he's quiet and he looks at his phone and then he says hey they just told me to 22 base 2 which means go back to the station and he's like do you know there's a way out this way which means South yes it's towards the fattest property where where I guess there's a little dip that goes uh to an ATV drone the brush yes so I told him at the time I did not remember him so I told him to be honest I don't remember um and he's like it's okay I was like something to the effect like that's okay I'll go find out or something like that so whenever you can raise our window and then I told my training like you know watch me I just remembered that they're building apartments I think that area where he's trying to get out is blocked so I'm like it sucks to be him let him find out the hard way and we continue doing our thing laminating Maps we continue laminating Maps cutting he's cutting the maps I'm trying to laminate them with a packaging tape and no more than a minute and a half less than two minutes later we hear him over the actual radio and when we hear a lot a lot of something to the fact like I need you that's a lot of a lot of get over here so as soon as I hear my name it's emergency I drop what we're doing and we drive across the soccer fields to his position yes when I get to that dip we hit it pretty hard everything flies all over the place and I can feel my tires slipping it's like not enough tractions going so I hit it pretty hard like we come around as I get around the brush the ATV trail I could see on the other side of where he's part I can see his overhead lights his red and blues so he's part like in a circular area he parks on the other side and I park on the opposite side of him that's where where I eventually meet up with him go ahead I'll show you what it's been more so you recognize the CD yes have you been able to hear yes State 77 being offered any objection be admitted without objection foreign um we're gonna take an opportunity to uh there's an indication of a jury that they need a quick break before you play maybe you can work their Kinks out of that while they're on break all right give me a quick break guys five minutes inside of 10. just real quick before I fast forward um Laurel she actually didn't know about the wife according to the best friend who testified first today uh so she had said that they found out about his family whenever they were looking into stuff for child support they discovered his wife on Facebook seen the pictures and they weren't sure if it was actually his wife or not so then they compared the picture of his three-year-old child to the picture of Dominic who he murdered and and um and they realized that they were spitting images you know yeah he told her he was separated and that she lived in another state only to find out that she actually lives right there in the same town and that they were together yeah he was a lying piece of crap exactly so there's that at 150 likes you guys I am going to gift more memberships please hit the like button there's 270 of you

November start number that pretty much says about a lot of star number copy that means do you copy me do you hear me so yes right here bro uh again of Bristol have you ever wrote uh Bristol of the River Road ATV trail where's the traffic and this is subject you need help basically come over here it's officially that don't work area information on the subject thank you foreign I get there I see his truck with his overhead lights turned on I started making my way to Mr bullos when I see him looking down the ATV trail looking South his body is standing outside of the truck with radio in hand just locking down the ATV trail so when I'm making my way to Mr Buddha's truck I see him looking South so I look South and I see the silhouette of the victim thank you 101 was one of the uh exhibits that was already it's already been what's wrong so you described to me previously testimony about a dip is that what do you see that dick where you enter it or is it um so you enter you can show the jury how you drove in we drove across some soccer fields we hit the dip I got enough traction to get at work [Music] at the time Mr borders was parked on this side was his female truck so I'll go ahead and park on the opposite side So eventually when I'm trying to make my way to him I see him looking down south towards the 82 Trail that's when I look over and see the silhouette of the victim at any time do you aware of another another kilo unit coming also arriving parking behind after the fact it was agent Dennison okay so it would have been at the time it was just him and myself okay but uh so after you got there before agent Dennison yes so if you could put a indicate where you would best approximate Buddhist kilo unit was when you arrived with a with a B for Google and um and put a k for Keto BK right here okay and where did you put your your kilo unit it should have been across directly across remote okay so you can put more or less your your uh last name or initial okay and the keto units they're like okay and where did Denison ultimately Park his issue then behind the shirt okay so put a d there for this okay so now uh describe and indicate for the jury what you saw initially all I could see was his overhead lights through the brush at the time it was pretty high brushed but I could still see enough of this kilos I see the overheads I don't know what I'm expecting all I heard is that he called me it sounded urgent so my job is to get there as fast as I can if I part there I'm looking over towards them and that's when he's outside of his truck looking South theatv Trail South is towards me yes towards the baddest property there's the house over here a landmark that we refer to as a baddest property so when I get there he's looking South so I'm back south and I see the silhouette of the young woman so I completely forget about Mr Boodles and I start running towards the victim is off this island where with the victims body be more more or less somewhere in this area because the island says we're gonna run right here around here yes so then what what do you do when you see the victim as soon as I see the victim I approach and I start yelling like senoras at this time all I see is blood I told my eight my my training I call him committee Alex Smith is that what I think I'm looking at and I see the silhouette and I maybe start running towards her and that's when I tell him like I started yelling at her are you away so at that time initially right away I said sir do you have any gloves but she said no I do not who did you say that to initially I asked Mr mugos do you have any gloves he's like no I do not so I say I don't have any gloves and I asked my training Schmidt do you have any gloves and thankfully being the great agent he was he did have hair gloves so he goes ahead and tells me like sir I have gloves so I take them both I grab one and I give one to Mr bolos I put the glove as best as I can immediately check reports I don't feel a pulse before anything I'm redoing everything into uh initially before I even touch our radio everything into our station base 2 and I'm telling them what we're seeing hold on I think this is good for now [Music] continue your radio went in the Intel that you have right yes radio one that we have a female I'm not sure at the time I think I I tell them let me see if it's a laceration or a head wound all I know is that I'm seeing a woman covered in blood there's blood on the ground so I'm gonna stand by I put on the glove as best as I can and I immediately check reports I don't feel the pulse I look at my fingers and they're covered in blood because I checked their neck area pause so I immediately see her left rest facing up I check a wrist and again I do not feel a pulse right away I told Mr budos sir I think she's 10-7 which means that she's dead and he's like yeah let's that way so I'm redoing everything into our station and I'm letting them know what I'm seeing so I told our station we have a female that appears to be deceased and I'm telling them their blood to the top of our head to the left to the body there's blood splatter all over the blood's a little bit coagulated and at that moment the supervisor of the station I believe the supervisor Ali tells me okay take a step back and treated the crime scene at this time he's standing there um not really the supervisor normally takes control of the situation and radios in everything to the station once again he's quiet I'm the one relaying everything that I'm seeing to the station I'm processing everything and I'm taking it in and I'm telling them what I'm seeing and right away I start telling the camera operator to start scanning the river I tell them scan the river see if you see anybody going back scan the Mexican side on the register see if you see anybody out there I hear the boat patrolling the area and they ask if they wanted if they if we want them to come to the area which I tell them of course come up try to check the landings where they come up try to see if we see any tracks any sign any mud I believe also a helicopter pilot reached out to us over the radio and he asked if you wanted us to if you we wanted them to give us a flyby I believe at the time they were coming back to Loretta to refuel so we tell them to go ahead please come into the area and the impression that I got from the python at the time was that he's fairly new because he did not really know where the best property was so I do remember I told him come fly south of the river until you get to What's called the cpnl the central power light company and I told him if he come South eventually you should see all the vehicles overheads or whatnot okay yes not at that time no sir what else do you see him uh does he have to any kind of deal at any time did you see him touch the body after I sent my agent Schmitty to go to Allen Street and Bristol to open the gate for the paramedics I believe he took my truck so for a moment there were by ourselves after that when I see him move the body straight for us thank your honor at the time I'm standing next year the victim a checker a checker I should hold this down over here to I guess on the other side of her it's not telling me she's 10-7 would mean she's dead radio everything then I told base two I think she's dead they tell me take a step back until before anything I told my training go to the gate and open it for the pyramids he takes off so before I take a step back I'm trying to see so much blood so I grabbed my head and I'm like where's all this blood coming from so at that moment Mr wood was just like Cuts in front of me he's like let's find out he grabs her from the bicep area grabs it from the hip area picks her up looks at her Fletcher bag down he does that and my eyes my eyes were wide open I was like what is going on and let's take a step back at the time you pick her up I could see her the shadow of her face it's full of dirt I could see her hair over her face but I do not get a pure picture of her but I am so freaking out and they shock because I don't know what I'm looking at so you put your back down goes back over here he's like you know what this stuff makes me nervous I'm gonna go back down this way he points South again towards the best property and he walks away and I see him with his phone in hand he's doing something at the time I'm thinking he's gonna call base two but from what I understand he never did permission to publish the transmission or you could do all three I'll rest the other two 77.2s hey Cameron Cameron the river bro uh she's on the new Road you know she has done enough area November can we assist you with anything are you looking for somebody but I believe they encountered one subject I guess bleeding yeah if you can make your way down there just to see if they have additional traffic 20. yeah it's going to be at the end of Bristol down towards the ATV trail at the universal okay Roger November 16th uh yeah I'm here with Lana any of the agents I'm heading this way I'll understand why hey six eight five days San Francisco thank you 9 40 is about to phase two and you are notify LPD if you have not done songs to respond to that traffic as well after you he said towards the best property you said he was messing with with his phone uh what what if anything else that you can do or what happened he goes south I lose them down the ATV trail for a few moments eventually he comes back because I'll do the side of him around the curve a few moments later he comes back with a tennis shoe and he's grabbing about the shoelace and he's coming back with a tennis shoe towards my position I didn't think nothing of it at first so I'm like I asked me Acer what do you have him what do you got there he's like oh I found the shoe in the brush my mind I'm okay find the shoe same thing I think nothing of it so he's walking back and what shocked me was that he put it at the base of her feet and he just put it there so again he puts it there and as soon as he does that he starts dragging his feet kind of like when you're skiing he's just dragging his feet to the point where he's picking up dirt once again I'm like I don't understand what I'm looking at because I specifically told them there's blood over here to the right of the head over here to the left their blood splatter exactly where you're picking up the dirt so I'm just processing this quietly and just making mental notes because at the time he was my supervisor and charging me so my mind I'm nobody to be telling them what to do he tells me what to do I am a field training officer at this time but as a supervisor he's in charge of me so I remain quiet by this time I believe agent Denison and schmidty and I think agent Herndon have turned back to the scene was the paramedics and at that time everything just starts happening all right let me stop you right there I'm going to show you this is a graphic photo can you identify what you just testified to what you described yes sir that is the victim the young woman at the base of her feet as I shoot that Mr bold was placed after he came back from the trial 3131 you recognize that shoe yes yeah we have the issue we found the chain of custody affidavit for permission to so uh yes foreign States exhibit 37. okay this is not admitted yet all right [Music] any objection to 37 State 37. submitted last year yes okay foreign this is the left not muddied not dirty there's been yes did you make that cut no I did not um I would not know issue was not near the body no it was not after he drops the shoe what if anything happens next once again he faces a shoe and immediately after he starts dragging his feet dirt starts picking up a bit so to me that was of course not procedure not protocol in fact it was to me was very strange that he was doing them why why was it strange to you that moment because we've already told specifically not to tamper with a crunching weird though take a step back trade it to the crime scene and then being a supervisor and us being border patrol agents we receive training and crime scene management so we kind of know the what to do and what specifically what not to do now uh this is why is that the work Vantage Point are we looking at this drum we are on the North side from here we are looking South towards the ATV show and the best property of the house we'll be back further south around the trail yeah I want to say yes come around yes the island will be back here yes sir the show right correct sir so his treatment of the crime scene you testify that that is that is confusing to you correct yes what else if anything happens after that after he does all that I'm still standing there in that same grassy Little Island that's when agent Dennison agent Herndon and she maybe you're coming back in with the paramedics as soon as the paramedics are drive and they they grab their equipment they Place old little pads on their body and start checking for signs of life at any time that you're there with supervisor agent who goes to indicate that he knows this person not once anything did you do I'm still standing there the paramedics finish checking it for life one of them approaches me and just to get confirmation for myself I asked one of the paramedics is she dead and he says we would not stopped working on her if she was still alive are you still wearing your gloves at this time no at that time as soon as I checked the pulse I took them off and I can't just dropped them at the around the top of her head somewhere in the brush when the parameter comes up to me and he says that I look over to the young woman and I look at the crime scene and I pulled the paramedic my gloves are there I'm contaminating the scene so he's like it's understandable so I go back and I grab the glove and I'm holding it and at the time I don't know what to do with the glove that's bloody so I see both trucks Mr Blue's in the front I believe it's Mr Dennis on the back so I just bought the first truck I see and I just put it in the back of the bed at the time I had no idea that he knew her no indication of anything whatsoever as I knew is that hey we're the good guys super supervisable to us at the time I'm doing everything I'm checking for life in my mind I'm thinking he's got my back as a law enforcement agent he's watching my back so I think any of it so when I grab the glove I just go over and I put it there just for say keeping in the back of the bed it was keto yes sir does he make any phone calls while you're there to headquarters not at that moment no sir did he ever did you see any cell phones on the victim or no sir to write a statement for the Laredo Police Department yes we're on scene I made a an affidavit an affidavit a quick synopsis of what happened the encounter on the scene I wrote one and at the police station I wrote a second like an addendum you know bringing over the shoe did that violate any protocols that you have yes disturbing the crime scene in my mind planting evidence no sir I was just doing what this what the supervisor at this station told me to do was take a step back and treat it as a crime scene it was an afternoon sir yes we were told in my training and I were told to give our official statement at the police station were you involved in any way in the discovery of the baby no sir because at that time I was on top of Metro Dennis's truck doing my affidavit so the only person that you saw that was the female yes correct any questions from the defense yes okay all right mission go ahead I apologize exhibit number 37. States no yes [Music] thank you YouTube thank you I just need one sir okay yes I'm passing uh this is the exhibit you previously examined number 37 is that correct yes sir and uh that is the the shoe that you saw um supervisor Virgo sevilla's a place at the foot of uh the victim is that correct yes sir okay and there is you can see um where does it say memory foam um memory foam yes sir that's right it'll be on the bottom sorry it'll be in the insole on the heel [Music] just the inside the Inside Yes of the foam I'm sorry [Music] well it takes some time it's true um so I just want the record to be clear it's inside the shoe there's nowhere outside of the shoe that you can see the memory foam is that is that correct that's the only space I can see right now sir okay and so um and is that big writing that it says memory foam [Music] it's pretty good yes you want to go grab it again thank you and uh you gave a statement to the police the next day is that correct the same background sure same thing the same day correct [Music] yes please yes and uh today you've told us that um Mr supervisor Virgo sevillas was dragging his feet yes now have you ever encountered a murder scene uh Patrol agent no okay so um I think you've indicated to everyone that this was a I don't want to put words in your mouth so correct me but it seemed like this was an overwhelming scene there was a lot of blood I've dealt with blood but this side of the murdered woman was pretty traumatic so um uh so I understand that it was trying yes in the statement that you gave that same day um you never mentioned that Mr Burgos would be let's drag this fever did you not till the second statement [Music] and by second statement you mean the written statement is that correct the addendum yes okay [Music] the first one just a brief synopsis one went to the station we actually gave our verbal official statement that's when I mentioned it transcription of your verbal statement which yes can I marked this as defense exhibit three and Sir that is 49 Pages correct it says 149 yes okay and uh you just told me that you said and I will say that you said that because you have an original one it is 49 pages five but um could you show me where in that uh statement where you said that originally yes okay hmm at this time I do not see it so um and I want to make sure I understand that by today's testimony when um carrying the tennis shoe it was just you and he on the scene at that time yes so officer Smith the trainee wasn't present at that time correct correct correct and uh officer Dennison was not present at that time correct you made a statement to the police and in that statement to the police you never mentioned him drag Ministries unless it was on the writing statement that I put it [Music] foreign officer you said you made an initial statement which was just a summary yes and uh and then the next day you added was it the next day or later that day later that afternoon the initial summary was before you knew that was a suspect is that correct one of the supervisors on CNN told me that you they're Prime suspects at the time I thought it was because of the bloody glove that I put in the back of his kilo I did not have confirmation that he was actually the main suspect until around 6 30 that night when another Detective um pretty much told me the whole day I had my phone on me as far as like we're at the police station I was getting calls and texts and I would just glance at it put it down glanced that I put it down somebody's texting me put it down I didn't think nothing of it after we're done with our question in about five hours later on 6 6 30 when I'm released from the interview room I'll go to the lobby of the police station I am sitting next to Florida and Herndon I get a phone call from my team leader my team leader tells me hey we already activated the border patrol unions the lawyers for you before you make any statements we already got lawyers and I'm like we already made our official statement he was surprised he's like oh you did I'm like yes he's like before he hands up he's like just so you know there's a rumor saying that that that woman is a side chick I'm like all right it's important let me call you back I told agent Herndon hey bro there's a rumor saying that the dead woman of blood was his I use the word sancho at that moment we're talking another detector comes out of a big man I know him as a boxer he comes out and I tell him I still have my phone in my hand I tell him I tell him sir would you start a rumor that the dead woman is a side chick the detective said side chick that's that's a baby mama and there's a possibility that the dead boy is his son that's when everything just I broke down as a word everything just I feel like there's weight on my shoulder and I started crying because I am thinking I'm good sir here I'm thinking we're supposed to be the good guys he's supposed to be watching my back and that broke I was heartbroken he's going to question answer base I'm sure I'm good sir thank you I was heartbroken yes we're gonna take a short break yeah [Music] there is a everybody keep it down please we're on the record uh I believe that this is what I assume everything that actually happens in court is on the record but go ahead and summarize what you believe should be on the record for the record um and injected his personal feelings about what he perceived at the time it had nothing to do with that MSU he made a statement that he believed they were supposed to be the good guys and he began to cry on the stand at which point the victims family understandably also became emotional but then had an outburst and said thank you yes exactly there was loud sounding from the audience and we believe your owner at this time we're going to return this trial the occurrence was extremely prejudicial it was not just an operation by a witness but it was also from the audience so the Double Impact it cannot be sure if you don't believe by any instruction by your honor um this is also further practitioner because they're in the Meritage the trials and when your honor has discretion of consider emotions on this trial there are many factors to be considered including the nature of the outbursts as well as whether the upper stated the substantial likelihood of the German be precious and this is mentioned the emotional moment in the courtroom um and I don't believe any Journey will be able to disregard that and to refuse to pressure this trial at the time would violate Mr Burgos obviously rights under due process and his right to a fair trial and impartial jury agriculture practices in the Bible Constitution beautiful sorry any response although uh emotional it was a visited by Mr Boggs um rather than stop after the transcript in which he was unable to locate his previous statement regarding the dragon of his speech he continued uh then there was no objection made by by Mr Fox uh the witness was under the impression that he could to answer uh he was getting his answer um it's an emotional case we've already had multiple witnesses that have come up here in Pride here in their testimony trauma temperature in all the blood that was there at the crime scene the the in the gallery yes there were some reactions in the Gap and the galleries but I do not get completely um as defense counsel said it was effective that the jury uh this is a highly emotional case already the or construct the jury to the disregard um yeah you know I I uh I try really hard to not you know say interjection I try to be the person that just as you know wearing the uh you know calling the balls and Strikes you know wearing baseball season right now right this uh um and at times I I do look at Council table and think hey you know maybe I do it inadvertently you know when I think perhaps there should be somebody you know uh calling something out uh and um I did that in this situation when the witness kept on going uh Mr Boggs was just looking at him and he was the witness kept on responding to a question in a long-winded fashion and I kept on looking at Mr Boggs I even glanced at other council at the table to see if uh anybody's going to say anything uh I saw other Council reaching out to Mr Boggs uh to see if and I don't know what they were talking about but I I thought they were maybe talking about whether or not somebody should object and I kept on looking over there when nobody said anything that's when I said let's go Mr Bob let's proceed in a question answer basis this was after and uh but I never instructed the witness to stop uh and um when he said that that's when I uh told him to wait a second wait for the question so um I think there was ample opportunity for the uh events team to to stop the witness from testifying further but in any event uh I don't I don't see it as a very light situation I do have to make sure that we present to um in this case a a a fair uh presentation of the evidence to this jury uh the defendant deserves that and the the rules call for that so in an event in measuring what in fact occurred I'm not quite sure uh the summary of everything that you said quite happened in that particular manner with that type of emphasis but there was in fact something of that nature close to what you in fact summarized um obviously the record may not reflect the moans or whatnot that might have been coming from the gallery but there was some it wasn't very loud but it was some uh I certainly appreciate your objection now I wish that there would have been somebody objected to beforehand but anyway your motion from astrology tonight thank you I will do that now in fact thank you two things I'm going to instruct right now one is the witness uh please answer the questions that are only that are posed to you and only the questions post to you and then stop after the question has been answered by you this is not a session where we in fact if somebody asks her opinion on something there's probably going to be an objection of some sort so it's it's not a forum to be able to uh in fact give your opinion on what not what you may think of a situation like that unless in fact it's called for under the rules in fact uh that was not called for yeah questions most of you know any of the questions sir to the to the audience in the gallery in either way that you sit I understand uh the loss I don't put myself in your shoes but I definitely understand the loss that you feel you've been here on almost every hearing 99.9 of all the hearings percent of all hearings and this is uh the days and weeks that you were waiting for to be able to uh give closure to this part of your lives and I'd certainly um understand and I can't even maybe I shouldn't say that I can't even begin to understand the pain that you may be suffering however I don't want to do this again no one wants to go through this again and the more of that that occurs the more that possibility grows so please refrain from comments um and and uh I'm not saying can't whisper to somebody or something or whatever but I'm talking about where the jury may hear you I don't want any of that if you if you don't think that you're going to be able to do so and I certainly understand that you will if you will not then please excuse yourself and go outside I know it's hard to do I'm sitting here talking to you like if not again not knowing uh not ever being in the type of shoes that you that you are in and I'm not trying to substitute for that but I'm only here to do this job right and and I I need to assure that this proceeding is done in a fair and impartial manner that the rules are followed and that we only do this one time that's it and unless I do my job like instructing you the way I'm instructing you now and the witness uh that possibility grows less and less so I will I know I won't like it but I will remove anybody from the courtroom and not allow them to come back into the proceedings if in fact any helpers like that or Worse occur thank you Rebecca quickly please foreign thank you members of the jury before we went out to break uh there was a part of the testimony uh perhaps unsolicited from the witness that I was objected that was objected to in fact sustained the objection and then I am now instructing you therefore that the opinion given by the witness uh with regard to who they are and what they stand for and what not will be disregarded by this jury that you when a Time come when the time comes to make a decision on this case that you will not take that into account or factor that in in any manner when making a decision on whether this defendant is guilty or not guilty of this crime that he is accused of by the grand jury in this state you're not allowed to play the way in in your consideration or mention it during your deliberations that is the instructions I gave you I told you at the beginning that you may receive more instructions this is one of them I told you don't concern yourself with the objections May or how many but with the instructions I give you if something occurs as a result of that this is one of them also you will disregard and it's the only thing that's evidence is what the only thing you can consider is evidence right the only thing that's evidence that comes from here not one comes from out there from the gallery you will disregard any comments that you may hear or outposts that you may hear as a result of that you will not allow any of that to wait in when evaluating whether or not a defendant is guilty or not to demonstruct you in fact two therefore not do so when the time comes thank you any other questions of this Witness um in your oral statements given on the day of the murders that I did not mention supervisor Virgo sevilla's Dragon history foreign statement sir I do not recall it this time yes and I believe officer you gave three different statements is that correct yes two um so I am uh and uh I've marked them for the record as defense exhibits four and five thank you each or two pages um those are the written statements that

when you look face of it it was the right side camera uh you can also see the neighbor's Vehicles there's two vehicles there okay and when you say the neighbor's vehicle which neighbor okay and the two vehicles are you familiar with those Vehicles yes so it looks like there's a vehicle that's closer to the camera and then one behind that one that's closer do you know who would normally use that vehicle the one closer down one uh if I remember correctly that would be the wife okay and the vehicle behind that would be the Picker truck for Boulevard okay look like a unit I think we can take a look right now but I do want to address one more thing um on the 11th of May events happen that we're all familiar with which was Daylight savings and um we see here that this camera as it's time to spend indicates that it's four in the morning or to be specific 4 47 a.m was that time correct uh no I had forgotten to adjust the time okay so what time would this video have actually taken place

you know whose phone this belongs I'm not entering the defense prescriptions without objection exhibit 50. do you recognize it yes and what is it the ZTE is awesome and is this another one of the cell phones you performed an extraction on around April 9 2018 yes and who does this phone belong to us the market basically and operations evidence I admitted without objections now you just always Mark the state's exhibit 48 the what you said was the defendants Ronald Anthony was obviously is that correct yes now was that phone uh that extraction of that phone was that pursuant to the search warrant yes sir and was that search warrant did that contained a probable cause affidavit yes was that search warrant signed by a judge yes now I am now honey who has been marked as States exhibit 485. do you recognize it yes and what is it it's a USB drive and what is on that USB drive it's a recovered digital uh evidence uh from cell phones how do you know this it's got my initials on the back so you reviewed this before yes Mr Ruiz are the reports can't contain in this USB a true and accurate copy of the original reports you generated in 2018 yes have they been altered in any manner no as to the information that is contained in States exhibit 485 what kind of electronic equipment was originally used to generate it so bright uh you've had touched what is uh silver if it touches uh it's a standalone Standalone device that's used for the extraction of a digital evidence from cell phones and other digital uh devices laptops so smart watches for the sort tablets okay so when you say that subrite is a standalone device does that mean it's a hardware yes it's Hardware extractions not for the forensic extraction no did you have a chance to examine the equipment back in 2018 yes yes and was it in good working order yes now what process is generally used to input information on the cell right now so the cell phone in this particular case itself was an Android so the cell phone has to be prepared in order to be connected to the to the cell right to the to the device to the hardware in order for it to perform the extraction okay and how is that device prepared there are certain steps uh that are taken uh so you go to settings you click on settings after settings opens up you go to about phone once the back one opens up scroll down go to the build number you tap the build number seven times once you do that another drop down opens up which is developer options once you go into developer options uh you turn on USB debugging and you set the phone to stay awake once that process is done then it's it's ready to to get plugged into the into the cell right device okay okay you prep the phone and you plug it into cell right and it's ready to input information yes and once you input information onto celebrate how do you store that information it gets stored onto an external hard drive how do you then recover that information that information is recovered by that you fed physical analyzer it's it's a it's software that's intended to analyze uh to create reports create timeline uh graphs uh basically it's a to put all the information that's the digital information that's extracted digital evidence that's extracted from the from the from the mobile device to put it into a readable format and did you use any additional software in extracting information no Now using cell bright you've had touch and that you've had physical analyzer did you extract recover and save any information from grisela and Dominic's phones that you have available today in a digital form yes and in what format were these forms generated in in the PDF format once these forms are generated in PDF format can they then be added no because they were generated in read only so once they are generated and read only there's no more editing of that can be altered or edited or deleted so the information in that report is sold the information that came from yes entering to defense which would Mark the states exhibit 485 for inspection operator evidence admitted commission Ruiz I'm handing you what's been marked the state's exhibit 486. do you recognize this yes it's a USB device USB right are you familiar with that USB code yes and how are you familiar with it you got my initials in the back and what is contained in that USB drive uh as well uh digital evidence that was a something from one of the mobile devices and you know which mobile device that was almost there Anthony what is this device foreign talk about that in this exhibit in the states exhibit 486 the report states that it was generated on Cell bright you fed touch however in the supplemental report that you provided to the Laredo Police Department back in April uh you stated that it was performed on oxygen forensic detective can you please explain that this reference it was a clerical error in my behalf as far as a supplement is concerned okay so the report that you generated back then is the same report that is on this year yes and as to the information that is contained in States it states exhibit 486. you use the same Hardware that you used for visa on Dominic's phone Etc yes and was it a good working order just as it was when you performed those other extractions yes it was Now using celebrate ufit touch and youth physical analyzer did you extract recover and save any information

U38HMLVxjOE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U38HMLVxjOE | مسابقة زراعة فلفلة الكارولاينا ريبر - Carolina Reaper Growing Competition | Hell. In this video, I am going to announce something to you that I am very excited about and I hope that you will be too and participate in as much as possible I am talking about the launch of the very first Carolina Reaper pepper growing contest for those of you who have not heard of the Carolina Reaper pepper the Carolina Reaper pepper is the current world's hottest chili pepper according to the Guinness World Records the average heat rating is around +1.6 million scoville heat units (SHU)s, however the hottest pepper tested exceeded 2 million SHUs so it s a super hot pepper, however it does have a unique flavor we will be holding a competition here in the Kingdom of Bahrain in collaboration with the National Initiative for Agricultural Development in the Kingdom of Bahrain the competition will take place in Hoarat A'ali, located next to the Farmers' Market (behind Salmabad) there will be various competing categories, and I will explain the categories in a bit however, the entire competition will be centered on growing this pepper I would like to apologize to everyone in advance, but the competition will only be open to residents of the Kingdom of Bahrain, regardless of nationality the competition will be open to anyone aged 14 and above in the near future, I will release another video with a link to the registration form for those wishing to participate after filling in and submitting your registration form, we will provide you with true Carolina Reaper seeds these are very unique seeds which I don't think are readily available in the Kingdom of Bahrain this will be an opportunity for hobbyists and farmers to grow a very unique pepper the competition will be open to all, from hobbyists, gardeners, to commercial farmers regarding the categories, there will be 3 categories the first category, growing the largest possible Carolina Reaper plant in a 15 litre pot (maximum) from the seeds provided participants in this category must ensure that they use the right pot size for this category this is for the first category, the largest plant. The plant will be measured for height, width, and general health The second category is for the largest harvest from one plant only ripe red peppers on the plant will be harvested during the competition at the day of the competition, a judging committee will harvest the ripe red pods off the plant, count them, and enter a score so only ripe red pods on the plant will be harvested and counted a separate count might be done for green pods, however it is only ripe red pods on the plant that will count ripe red pods not on the plant will count for the second category, there are no size restrictions on the pot size you can use any size pot you like, keeping in mind that you will have to transport that large pot to the competition so keep that in mind. Don't choose a pot that you can't transport to the competition site the third category will be for the largest Carolina Reaper pepper pod picked from the plant the pod will be picked, measured, and weighed and the winner will be determined for all categories, there will be a first, second, and third place position each participant can only enter one plant per category participants can choose to enter in all 3 categories, or just one, however, they can only enter one plant per category so the maximum number of plants that can be entered per participant is 3, 1 for each category plants entered into the first category can simultaneously be entered into the third category as well similarly, plants entered into the second category can simultaneously be entered into the third category as well therefore, participants can enter one plant into two categories at the same time category 1 + category 3 or category 2 + category 3 so a single plant can be in two non-conflicting categories, keeping in mind no more than 1 plant per category a voting link will appear at the top of the screen, please go ahead and vote if you are interested in participating in the competition this helps us gauge the number of participants to expect so please use the voting tool at the top of the screen, because based on responses, the quantity of seeds will be determined and stocks will be limited registration will be opened up in the very near future. Upon submission and acceptance of a filled out and signed registration form, each participant will receive 5 true Carolina Reaper seeds 5 seeds should allow for spare plants and to assess which of them to enter into which category therefore, please vote, share this video around with friends that might be interested in participating and I look forward to seeing you all at the competition event I strongly encourage hobbyists to participate, as this is an opportunity to grow a unique pepper, highly demanded, with seeds not readily available in the Kingdom of Bahrain this is also a great opportunity for hobbyists to engage and interact with farmers, exchange ideas, and ask questions before ending the video, I would like to thank The National Initiative for Agricultural Development in the Kingdom of Bahrain for their collaboration and support I'm not going to say that 'I hope you found this video informative' because it wasn't an informative video, but I do hope to see you all at the competition event please share this video with your friends and please vote if you are interested in participating and I hope to see you all at the competition event and I wish you all the best of luck.

QZGhyZ2e36E | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZGhyZ2e36E | How Musicians Grow On TikTok // TIKTOK MUSIC MARKETING | So on this channel we’ve been going over strategies for growing your fanbase using TikTok but since I’m a nerd about marketing strategy in the previous episodes of this series we have gone into more advanced strategy of how to grow on TikTok but since I am always reading your comments and what you post in my facebook group I know that you want some clarity on some basic functions of how you grow on TikTok. So in this video I’m going to show you how you grow on TikTok and help you understand the rules of the road. Hi I'm Jesse Cannon a music marketing nerd whos teaching musicians how to grow their fanbase from zero to 10,000 fans and this is Musformation. Before we get started some of this stuff may be a little basic to you so if you get bored feel free to skip through the chapters of the video. So I want to be clear about the objective of promoting your music on TikTok cause every week I talk to you all in the comments of these videos or in the consulting calls I do and I feel like you all are increasingly losing the plot here. I know you hear stories of these stars made on tikTok but you probably don't make music that would do that. But what you do is make music that a lot of people would like and what we’re trying to do is take advantage of one of the biggest opportunities in music promotion to have some fun, express yourself and then have it draw attention to your music. Unlike some of the YouTube grifters on here, that talk about music marketing I am not going to gas you up with unrealistic expectations what I’m going to outline here is how you get in front of the eyes of the people most likely to enjoy your music who will then lift up your numbers and build your fanbase. Now I do want to clarify if anyone tells you something definitely works or doesn’t on TikTok right now they are a fool as this app is still coming into its own and people will redefine the rules in big ways in the coming years BUT these are what works in most case scenarios. But enough of disclaimers so I can evade being punished by internet know it alls in the comments... Lets go! Attention Span of TikTok Ok lets first understand the main thing that sets TikTok apart from other social media apps and defines this era of social media. When Twitter came out one of the things people liked is the Internet was filled with long blogs, articles explaining things that really didn't need 2,000 words since you just wanted to hear what in the hell happened. Most of us just wanted the TLDR meaning Too Long Didn't Read and that led to the Tumblr trend of ending a long story with a TLDR or what some of the more insufferable virgins do to my youtube videos where I go long on subjects people want more details on it clearly not getting the point like they always do annnnyyyyyywaaaayyyyyy What I am getting to here is that TikTok has essentially done what Twitter has done to the article and made it in performative video form. Give me some information or a fun visual and present it to me as fast as you can and once its done let me swipe on it. I say all this to say when I look at your TikToks it seems you don't get this is the very core of what people are looking for here in the app. So here is what your potential fans on TikTok are looking for - The name of the game is how do I say or this in as little time as possible to where its effective and entertaining for the viewer. That is to say unless a pause in your speech is needed for affect, cut it. Unless your creating anticipation cut it. If a sentence is unneeded to convey your meaning and at all superfluous cut it. And most of all since I see so many of you neglect this, cut every single pause before you start speaking and chop off the end of the video silence that's especially important since your video spreads less if the user scrolls past it. So after I tell people that they immediately ask me why theres a three minute option on TikTok if that's the case. Listen up here chief - a quick look around the stats on the Internet the majority of what spreads on tiktok are things when that 15 second button is pressed and they are done under that time. And while 60 second videos still spread the ones that are longer than 60 seconds that do are an exception to a exception of the rule. And now is probably a good reason to breakdown why TikTok has one goal and its to keep you scrolling through that app and if you get bored your more likely to leave the app. So they punish videos with lulls and that do bad superfluous story telling and show them to less people and reward the videos that keep people there. You may have noticed theres this trend that's growing on the app where the video seems to cut off too soon like literally the last bit of the last word doesn't even finish. This is actually because if the video starts its loop again its more highly rated. Nevermind if someone watches again to try to take in what they were saying its even more highly rated by the TikTok algorithm. Lets remember your objective is for people to watch the video if not more than once since that tells the algorithm the audience was intrigued by what they saw and for people to send it out to friends and share it with them. But truly the decision tree for how long a TikTok video should be is always easy and its down to however short it can be while being effective for people to enjoy it, make it as short as it works in. Cut the fat and frankly if you're just speaking in it or moving you can even mess with the speed in the app OR if you edit in Davinci Resolve like me you can speed up clips there. I find I can speed up clips between 1-10% and they are more effective and do really well. What to post OK I have some simple questions you can ask yourself about to post on TikTok each day when you're trying to figure out what to post. What's the most interesting thought you had today - Tell people about it and see if they bond with you or have thoughts of their own. What's great about posts like this is if you're hashtagging them for your microgenre is they will find the people most likely to enjoy your music and odds are you have similar interests to them and they will see your band name see commonality and hopefully explore your music or even better send it to a friend which helps its rank in the algorithm., What's an interesting thing in music you can tell TikTok about - An easy way to find an audience that will potentially like your music is share your thoughts on that genre and explain things you see you think most people don't. Tell us what's exceptional in your life - Give us the highlight reel of your musical life and show us your lifestyle and hopefully others will bond with it and enjoy it. Tell stories around your music - Of course, we want to also promote your music so all the storytelling we talk about on this channel should be converted to TikToks. And if you don't know what im talking about on the screen now or in the description is my playlist on how to tell stories around your music. This can be the best moment from your playthrough or explaining a lyric in your songs meaning. But you may be wondering how to tell them? TikTok has tropes these are the formats you tell a story in and if you're watching regularly you can figure out how to present your videos within them which will help them perform better. Some musicians I have coached find it best to make a list of their ideas for videos then watch for a while and see the tropes of storytelling on TikTok and figure out the best one to put it into. So they may have an idea to talk about how the concept of supuku that they sing about in their latest song plays into their music. What they will do is wait till they see another user do a tiktok trope where it would work and then make the video that discusses this. The Rub Of TikTok But I know I have been mr brightside about tiktok for this whole video so its time to discuss the Rub. there is this conflict inherent in tiktok we should understand. If you are a smart person who has been paying attention to what I have been saying here you may have noticed a rub. TikToks goal is to keep you on the platform and your goal is to get people to leave it and stream your song. Thats quite a conflict of interest if you ask me but here’s the thing as long as a lot of your posts are less “go stream my video on youtube” or ”stream our new song on spotify” and you are gluing fans with good content and using those hashtags to stay in front of their eyes they are going to get curious after these tiktok addicts spend time seeing you all the time and getting to know you and jump over and listen on their own accord. And this isn't me just saying some wishcasting bull we see it in data and analytics all the time. Make sure you're posting TikToks that give people a glimpse of your personality and it will build bonds that inspire curiousity. Put your songs as background for those videos and you will have covertly made them familiar to the fans most likely to enjoy your music and they will feel like theyve already heard them before and be more likely to like them since we all know that feeling where we need to hear a song a few times before we like it and that work is getting done on TikTok. I know this conflict of interest is real but the reciprocal growth of those who are doing well on tiktok getting spotify streams is real yall. Koji ad And here’s another tip on how you get people to actually stream your songs. Once you have 1000 followers you can drop one of those fancy lists of links in your bio. And while we’re talking about TikTok I think its important to also talk about one of the things people love about it which is that it really does have a level of investigation that is so much deeper than Instagram. What so many musicians love about the platform is the users actually look at their profile and click around and build relationships and because of that you need to have the app that builds those relationships better than anything I have ever seen. So I want to stop and tell you about the sponsor for this video Koji and you may be thinking Jesse what the hell you never do this? Thats right because my promise to you is I would never discuss a product I don't use everyday and love. So I am really excited to have them sponsoring this video since it is an app I use on my own profiles and have advised others to use in my work. For those of you who haven't had this app make your life as a musician sooooo much better Koji is a link in bio app store for Creators, it offers a free to use, free to customize link in bio platform and is truly the best link in bio for musicians. You know just like you have seen when you click the fancy profiles of your favorite artists and they have a list of links. Well you can have that too FOR FREE! But here’s the thing you have probably seen ones like linktree but Koji has this app store where you can do amazing things that give your fans an amazing experience and ways to interact with them, build relationships AND EVEN MAKE MONEY. And I wanna say these are not IOS apps - nothing to download - these are LINK IN BIO apps that live on the link in your bio on ALL your socials 24/7 So let me show you a few that I find to be amazing for music marketing. Music Links Allows you to do one of those free link fire type things that lists everywhere a fan can listen to your song. Promote any track, album, or playlist by linking to every platform it’s available on: Spotify, SoundCloud, Apple Music, TIDAL, Amazon Music, Bandcamp, Deezer, YouTube Music, the iTunes Store. Though I always tell all of you to really focus on Spotif so the one I tell artists to use is the spotify embed app where you can add any album, playlist, artist, and song from Spotify directly inside your Link in Bio. and I mean come on this looks great and is such a better impression on a new fan than anything else I have seen as well one of my other facvorites is the LOVE JAR - since I think so many musicians don't take advantage of how many people would probably tipo you even if you fanbase is in the hundreds those who really feel you want to support. I mean most people are streaming your music for free, so why not let them drop you a note about how much you and your music means to them..and show you some $ love as well. In future videos well get into some other apps I love that Koji does that can both build your relationship with them and help you make money To learn more and get your own free koji link in bio page for your tiktok, insta and Twitter page head to the description or to withkoji.com that w i t h k o j i dot com OK back to TikTok. Quality So a lot of people ask me about the quality of their video and audio on TikTok and I am going to be honest I see videos with bad quality of both all the time but just like we want to keep these videos as tight and lacking of superfluous details as we can the better you can make the videos great. But in all honesty as long as your room isn't a echoey catastrophe or noisey air pods or apple headphones will do you just fine. As long as you have a relatively new phone the cameras gonna be more than enough theres no reason to shoot on a sony a 7 iii like me and trust me I only do that because its easier to do than setting up my iPhone. Quantity But how often should you post? I tell everyone your goal should be once a day but in all honesty if that sucks the joy out of your life, well there’s no need to do but I think that is optimal for aspiring artists. I know the common advice is 3 times a day but that’s for people whole are trying to become tiktok stars whereas if your trying to draw attention to your music that's a lot of noise. The only reason I think posting 3 times a day is helpful is it helps you learn fast and you can look back and explore what's working. Now is also a good time to point out that if a video is tanking and getting way less views than normal after 24 hours you can definitely delete it and not let it stain your grid. Even *I* the all knowing all seeing god of marketing strategy have had to do it before. I know... stars theyre just like us right? But also don’t be afraid to learn in public the best part of making a not good video is it doesn’t spread and no one will see it. Trust me if you’ve ever watched my early videos on this channel you know I stand by the philosophy that you should just get started making things and improve as you go Hashtags Ok lets talk about hashtags, so what's important about hashtags on TikTok is you're able to say talk about your depression with your song in the background and if you hashtag them for your microgenre it will get served to those people and as long as its something your community responds to it will do well. This also of course for clips from your music video or whatever. You can figure out which hashtags do best for your common videos by clicking the button and seeing which hashtags have the highest numbers now here’s a little secret I have seen some less crowded hashtags do well so for example if your genre is pop punk doing both punk pop and pop punk can be more effective since you don't need as big numbers to get through the hashtags audience. Once you know your regular hashtags I strongly suggest you do what I show in the video here and copy them, and go to your settings to general then keyboard then save them as a short cut so you don't have to type them everytime. Also remember to observe the hashtags your targets use as they may have found things that work for them that may work for you. Lets also remember putting songs of your genre or of TikTok trends also sorts who TikTok will send the video to. They send it to people who watch videos with that song in it, so knowing the trending videos of the genre and using them in your videos can be just as effective as knowing your hashtags. Also fun fact you can even turn that song down so its inaudible but use the trending song to get your video to spread more. Also keep in mind when your targets or your friends in your community make great videos you can target them and do duets with them and show support while hashtagging them and showing your name to the algorithm on the back of their good content. This is yet again why TikTok is so great for music marketing. Optimizing Ok lastly before we go I am going to give you a few fast thoughts on other ways to optimize your performance on TikTok so its growing your fanbase as much as possible. Reply to every comment and be sure to heart all of the ones that aren't mean to you as this can be the start of a fan relationship and since unlike Instagram TikTok does so much work of sending you to new people who are really likely to be susceptible to liking your music I cant emphasize enough that this is a new potential fan so giving that heart and reply is often the start of a relationship that gets you a new fan. Do not be shy when promoting your music to do your emotional pitch and tell someone how they could feel if they streamed your song. And if you don't know what I mean by an emotional pitch theres a link on how to get more streams with an emotional call to action in the description below or on the screen now. Also remember TikToks are YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels and while you don't want to canibalize your views on TikTok since it has the most potential for growth I think its smart to repurpose your best content that does well a day or three later on both YouTube and Insta but be sure when you put up a TikTok to schedule a tweet linking it for about an hour or 2 later to give it some juice. As you get more followers you get more privileges like going live which I think at this point may be more smart to do on TikTok than instagram especially if you have about the same amount of followers on each. And you also get privileges at 1000 followers link being able to add a linktree or website. So be sure to keep up on that. OK on this channel this is the type of stuff we discuss so if you're interested in that you should definitely like subscribe and most of all get notified so you don't miss crucial videos I post for helping you level up building a fanbase. I answer every comment below that doesn't ask why my nose is so stuffed up. So if you have a question hit the comments on the screen now is a video on how to on how to blow up on TikTok in 2022 or how to grow your fanbase from zero to 10,000 fans oor how to blow up on spotify in 2022.

C94WDXAe4EE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C94WDXAe4EE | ActInf Livestream #001.1 ~ “Narrative as active inference | hello everyone welcome to team com podcast one tentatively titled really looking forward to this discussion i'm daniel and along with me are yvonne alex do you want to introduce yourself briefly yeah my name is alex i just can't say what i'm a researcher in system management school in moscow by now just for protocol hello my name is ivan i'm just interested in internet active inference stuff great well to be interested in active inference is all that's needed for this paper and this discussion so let's get right into it we're gonna structure the discussion like this first we'll start with some warm-up questions then we'll get to the paper itself and this isn't the end-all be-all format for paper discussions but a few big areas that we'll hit upon we'll ask what are the big questions are this paper what do the authors want to address then we'll go through the abstract line by line because it's really important to understand how the authors summarize their own work we'll look at the road map of the paper at which sections come in which order so that we can have a big bird's eye perspective on where the paper is going then we'll go down into some definitions and claims that the authors make we can ask whether we agree with their definitions or whether their claims resonate with how we think about the world then we'll have time to have any questions that we want to address that are about the paper and then also there's a few slides at the end where we prepared some visualizations about markov blankets and about active inference itself so let's get to the warm-up questions and so either of you can maybe give a first thought here what what is a narrative and how is a narrative different than a story and this can come from the free energy active inference perspective or not but one of you two guys go ahead uh at the moment uh i believe what first we what we need to do what we need to define with difference because uh if we have two words uh it would mean something different but as in any case it's depends on perspective and interest from how we see it and um [Music] maybe his uh narrative and ontology is also some different and ontology is different from the story as well so some kind of more formal definition for it we have a great review on different papers presented in the text and so it looks like as state of the art in this field from scientific point of view but we if we go more engineering way and trying to find a way to and approaches to use functions of his narrative scientologists and lately stories very nice and we'll get to see exactly their definition of narrative it's actually the first sentences of the paper uh yvonne anything there no cool another question that is sort of a fundamental in communication but also very important applied question is how individual and collective narratives interact so do groups genuinely have narratives or do group narratives just consist of individual narratives we can i mean we can move past these these are really just for warming up and thinking about what the paper is arising out of and so just the last warm-up question that anyone could like a stretch before hitting the paper before you run the paper you might want to stretch with these questions and just to to really get us thinking big about what this paper could be about and what science can tell us about narratives this question is what does a functional evolutionary or statistical perspective on narratives look like so instead of just approaching it from a psychological or from an anthropological perspective how can we take it deeper and connect it to other areas any last warm-up thoughts or we can just go right into the paper uh maybe yes and it's about introduction and first sentence in introduction um about narratives a report of real or imagined events and maybe i was not so close inside but maybe we need to define some definition and perspective about events what is it events for us at this moment and in in systems uh and events in uh active inference what could be here like a fundamental for us good question and we're going to return to their exact definition of narrative we'll have it up on a later slide so keep that thought around and let's just go into the paper so the paper we're going to be discussing is called narrative as active inference an integrative account of the functions of narratives and it was posted on psi archive which is a pre-print server the version we're looking at is from june 18 2020 and the first author's name is nabil buzagarin apologies for pronunciation and uh there are several other authors as well the paper really sets out to address a few big questions the first question uh is what does the concept of active inference offer us in the context of narrative or when discussing the concept of narrative that's the big question and then to take it down one more level they're going to specifically ask how does this active inference perspective on narrative address questions related to identity episodic memory future projection event segmentation which is actually i trimmed it but it's related to what you're discussing storytelling enculturation and more so let's get to the abstract um it's kind of simulating reading a paper you know i start from a title then we'll go through the abstract and then we'll go into the definitions next but let's just go bit by bit through the abstract so we can really see what the authors think they're doing in this paper first sentence is basically saying that narratives are important and other people have recognized it the second sentence says that research has identified several functions of narratives that are important uh if if anyone has any thoughts that they want to add on to one of these sentences or disagreement they can uh also use the raise hand feature in jitsi so on the bottom left the hand if you want to uh say something um the abstract is not too contentious in this paper this is the key signal phrase that's marking what they're actually doing in the paper they're going to characterize social and cognitive functions those are the plurality of functions of narratives in terms of the framework of active inference which we're going to talk a lot more about in detail what is active inference and then they say that active inference is depicting the fundamental tendency of organisms to adapt update and maintain inference about their environment that's sort of the beginnings of a definition of active inference which we're going to come back to they then review literature related to the function of narratives in all of those areas that we discussed identity event segmentation episodic memory etc and then the last sentence of the short abstract is we recast these functions of narratives in terms of active inference outlining a parsimonious model that can guide future developments in narrative theory research and clinical applications and so this is kind of a common theme that we see in active inference and free energy principle related research at this current moment in time the second half of the 2010s and the 2020 period which is um the authors usually consisting of a team with some disciplinary experts as well as some more free energy or active inference experts will approach an area like narratives or depression or evolution and they'll seek to integrate multiple phenomena under a common model so instead of saying well you got the short-term memory system and the long-term memory and the declarative memory and this you know this type of memory they'll sort of recast a lot of previous models into one common framework so that's what active inference can do and the idea would be that by having an integrated framework we're going to get multiple benefits the first is that we have an elegant and a parsimonious way for addressing the otherwise unrelated phenomena arising from the same physical system so we shouldn't have 10 models for describing 10 different kinds of memory in the brain we should have one model for memory in the brain and then different aspects of it could relate to these phenomena that we want to actually explain and the second thing so it gives internal coherence to the study of systems to use an integrated framework but also it provides external coherence because now the information or the thermodynamic components of the brain can be considered alongside something like a computer so that's the abstract here's the road map of the paper and i just copied out the section titles and this is just so that even if some of these section titles sound a little bit like they're not fully specified or anything this is just so we can first sketch out the whole arc of the paper the first section is called the function of narrative and you can see they're going to be talking about narrative from a non-free energy non-active inference perspective they're going to be drawing on other research for example relating narrative to identity meaning making which is also sometimes called sense making and coherence as well as storytelling and they'll talk about the narrative practice hypothesis which is from social psychology the second section of the paper is explicitly about active inference where they define active inference and then they specifically relate how active inference can be thought of when looking at human social and cultural life and then the third section of the paper no surprise is narratives as active inference and so here is where they're going to combine section one and two into discussing how framing narrative as active inference gives us these features of a model that we'd like to see like it's elegant it's parsimonious it has high explanatory power it might lead to unique predictions unique explanations uh unique experiments that we could test these are all the things that we care about from a scientific and a meta scientific perspective so that's the big road map of the paper and now we can finally get into the first two sentences of the paper which are right here and alex this is where you were talking about the definition of narrative so it's great that they begin the paper just with the definition of narrative and i'll just read it out and then either of you or both of you i'd love to hear your thoughts where does this resonate with you where does it not resonate they write narratives are reports of real or imagined events which can be presented in language either verbally or textually or through sequences of images or other symbols that's their first short definition and the second sentence is the narrativity of these reports lies not just in their content which may point directly to specific events but also in their structure that is the ways in which the linguistic or other symbols convey a set of relationships among events especially temporal relationships so what do you guys think here for me what is important here that uh its present idea about uh ability uh in a language to present to represent maybe to a person firstly and he can share its uh in texts and describe himself and maybe try to understand somebody using these symbols yep yep yvonne anything no not right now sure so i think uh there's a few other words that we might want to also define and this is the nature of language right we could always go and ask well what is a report is the narrative only real if it's reported or what's the difference between real and imagined or what do you mean symbols so there's a lot of play in these definitions still but the features that i found interesting the first part is that narratives are specific reports of real or imagined events so it's kind of like if a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it did it happen uh if no one reports the narrative there is no narrative okay if nobody's speaking there's no narrator so a narrative is a declarative event in that telling the narrative or experiencing it is what makes it real and then also this idea that a narrative is a sequence of symbols whether they're verbal symbols or text symbols these symbols are representative as symbols are and to bring it to the second section the string of symbols it's not just that there's a shannon entropy of the string or there's some surprise or there's some sequence it's actually that the representative nature of the symbols is inferring something about specific events again either real or imagined also how the events are linked and this is especially important in the context of things happening through time so that's their definition of narrative and pretty shortly after that we get to one of their fundamental claims and there's going to be a key sentence here that is actually meta scientific in the sense this is their evaluation of the research literature they say that narrative has socio-interactional and cognitive representational functions however the extant literature tends to focus on only one of these two aspects so in other words they're saying that the narrative has socio-interactional roles for example the narrative of a country is often manifested through politics or through politics uh or through policy and so there are social implications for the interactions between different narratives and then that sort of bodies interacting with each other but then inside of the head there's also this cognitive representational component of narrative and that has to do with how different people experience narratives or how different altered states of consciousness influence the ability to generate narrative and then they write in this paper we propose a unified model that accounts for both of the functions of narrative so this is where they're taking stock of the previous state of the literature they're saying look narrative literature falls into basically either one of two categories either it's about treating the person as a black box and then looking at how narratives occur in the social context or it goes the other approach which is it zooms in on the brain or on the mind from a neuro or from a psychological perspective and that ends up giving not enough emphasis to the social components of narrative so my questions for you two are what are the implications of this unresolved dichotomy and what might an answer to this problem look like in other words what would it look like to have a satisfying science of narratives and what are the implications of us not having that satisfying science of narratives uh if there will be an implication for one common model and it will be possible to predict outcomes for testing this model in different applications this could be more scientifically or at least engineering yep and another engineering perspective on this would be false positive and false negative so let's just say that we have two different methods for dealing with narrative one of them doesn't give enough emphasis to what's happening inside of the head that's the socio-interactional one and then the other perspective on narrative doesn't give enough emphasis on what's happening outside of the head and so we're going to end up with false positives and false negatives we're going to end up with lost in translation we're going to end up with situations where one approach leads to one prediction but then a different approach leads to a different prediction and without some sort of higher level theory to help us resolve that there's just not going to be clarity so we can see that having this unresolved dichotomy not just is it theoretically unsatisfying uh it'd be like if you had one model for physiology that happened you know just in the liver and one and outside of the liver but uh that would be theoretically unsatisfying but also it might lead to some very real consequences when models don't agree and then people end up acting off of the bad information so no surprise here but they're going to resolve this dichotomy with active inference so here's how they define active inference and then we're going to spend a lot of time talking about active inference and adding in some more figures because there aren't any figures in this paper which is totally fine um but the crux of the issue is about applying active inference to the idea of narrative so we really want to understand what active inference is and then we'll use the active inference framework to potentially reduce our uncertainty about what narratives are so they write active inference is a new theory that provides an account of the nature and mechanisms of knowledge driven context appropriate action originally proposed as a theory of the structure function and dynamics of the brain in the 2010 first in paper active inference provides a broad framework that has been extended to explain living organisms and cognitive systems across multiple scales so that's the definition of active inference and i i just tried a little first stab there's two big key terms and they come up again and again in this discussion and in others and that's active inference which is i put it in idea cloud because this is the big idea that we're talking about and on the bottom right there is the free energy principle and the free energy principle is the background it's the uh it's the model that we're working under that we get active inference from and in the 2018 interview where fristen says that the free energy principle is beyond falsification it's at the axiomatic level so that doesn't mean it's indubitably correct in fact axioms exist beyond the space of correct versus incorrect because correct and incorrect only exist within the context of an axiomatic set and first compares free energy principle to something more like the principle of least action from physics in the sense that other patterns are fit within that so it's kind of like the it's the canvas that we're going to be drawing on and so here are a few of the key things that combine to give us active inference one of them is informational thermodynamics another important topic is informational foraging and the that's the active part is the actual foraging for information then another term that comes into play is deep models so temporally deep models with a deep past and a deep future predictive component as well as you could almost call them thick models so models that include multiple modalities or multiple perspectives there's an element of the integration of ecology evolution and development so we're not looking to make a science of narratives that only applies to tweets or only applies to novels we want something that's fully grounded in ecology evolution and development and then also there's this key term the markov blanket which we're going to go into a little bit more detail in the coming slides but first off what do you think about that what is that uh what does that make you guys think about great overview about domains and basic stones for his ideas so really as free energy principle the principle gave us opportunity freedom to try to implement it to explain different uh systems and organisms so and active inference as a more focused on his domain around the brain about how its work on cognitive and metacognitive levels and so on yep and that's the key difference between the axiomatic principles which cannot be falsified in other words there's no observation that would falsify the free energy principle whereas evolution by natural selection just to give an example uh it could be falsified if we found some sort of uh anomalous explanation or an anomalous observation then it could reduce the likelihood that a certain model is true in other words specific hypotheses arise from these other fields that i have written in the black or the dashed line like if you find that the organism is only looking one second into the future it's not a deep model so you can test whether it's a deep model or not you can test the role of ecology evolution development etc you could look at whether the actions of the organism are consistent with thermodynamics you know if more energy is coming out of the system than coming in then it violates thermodynamics so that's something specific and on the other hand free energy principle is a little bit different and uh there's so much to this and you know every every podcast we do every discussion we have we could spend so long discussing the fundamentals and so i feel like it's a good approach each time it's like a coat of paint we're just to keep on coming over the same topics again and again and going into them a little bit more deeply each time so let's look a little bit at the markov blanket and here i'm drawing from a paper of gallagher and allen 2016 which is in the synthesis the journal and this paper is pretty nice because it's not by firstin uh it's a rarity you know but it's not by fristen but it contextualizes the work of fristin and collaborators from a philosophical perspective so here are philosophers trying to talk about markhaw blankets they're focusing on this center node a and they write the circle that's shaded in gray the big one represents the markov blanket of node a this consists of a its children parents and parents of children so here is how i'm thinking about this pedigree like a family tree is a metaphor for the generative process that leads to people or leads to a person you know that any person has to have two parents and if any children there has to be a partner so that's like s in this the parent of child so now what what's interesting to note is in a world where the rules are different for example if three people were required to create a child or we were able to create a cloning technology where only one person was required to create a another human then the rules of this system would be different and so the mark called blanket would be drawn differently so generalize this idea of a structural form or a scheme a schema for causal forces so it's like the two parents cause a now this is not saying oh those are the only two things that cause a person to exist of course a civilization is required and all these other things but just within the context of a pedigree the all the only information you need to know is the parents and then there's times where these connections that are being extracted are statistical and there's times where they're causal and this is sort of um an interesting point because it really gets at the heart of what do these lines represent and so there's times where the real world system we want we don't know about where the edges are and we want to use observed data to get the edges so we have a bunch of stock prices and we want to run a model that says okay when gold goes up then we want an arrow from the gold node to some other node for when the price responds in relationship to gold so that's like a statistical or numerical extraction of these edges and that is uh related to approaches like structural equation modeling sem modeling or causal entropic uh type of causal entropic forces and then there's other times like in the case of this graph where the relationships are genuinely causal so that's where the edge is actually representing a cause effect relationship of the states of the world so i'm going to nuance this marcotte blanket drawing a little bit so here it says in small script the subpartition of internal and external states is going to occur according to the free energy principle this is the caption of their figure and then i just added extra colors instead of just having the subscript so i blacked out the hidden external states to really emphasize that the things that are outside of the markov blankets are are truly speculative causes so in this case it's like we don't know who the grandparents of a are we know that something led to the parents but we truly don't know what they are and then we know that something has to lead to the parents of the child but again we don't know where they are and then there could be downstream effects of the child but we don't know what they are and so a like the focal individual what's happening inside of that green node is uh the internal states of a the system and focus the system of interest and then you can think of the things that a causes whether by itself or with a collaborator are like the active the active states those are the emitted actions of a and then everything that is coming into the markov blanket but isn't an internal state and isn't an active state is a sensory state and it's kind of weird to think about a pedigree as having sensory states but we'll see a few other versions of marcotte blankets where the term sense is going to be more appropriate but the point is whether you call it a sensory state or just a markov blanket input it's the same structure any questions on that or there's some more visualizations of markup blankets yeah maybe let's um see some more cool cool so another key point about marco blankets is that they can be multi-scale and so here i've borrowed a figure from ramstead at all 2018 and this is the answering schrodinger's question paper which is a extremely powerful multi-level phrasing of the free energy principle and so i've carried over those same hidden internal active and sensory states idea and then added this uh pink or magenta color to the outside and that's the markov blanket so we can see the hidden states are outside of the blanket and then the active states the blue circles are what penetrate outward those are actions that leave the monaco blanket and then the red states are in incoming sensory data now the reason we can talk about multi-scale markov blankets is reflected here so this whole thing let's just say this is like a cell you know inside the cell you have some stuff going on and then you have actions coming out and you have sense coming in but that cell is actually also in the context of a larger uh unit let's say a tissue and in this case a bunch of cells are next to each other and so each cell is doing this at the cellular receptor level but then the organ can also be thought of as having internal external active and sensory states and what the mathematical claim is is that there's a continuity between these two different levels of analysis and so there's a few ways you can think about this continuity one is just the compositionality argument which is like okay if tissues are composed of cells and cells are composed of organelles it's sort of a markov blankets all the way down approach but there's also some formal continuities as well as some possible ways which we can make a model of this level which is a mixture of martial blanket states and then here at the uh more granular level we can actually parameterize those relationships and another way that we can look at the mark call blanket again i'm invoking the um previous magenta uh uh pedigree version so here's the pedigree version of the markov blanket around a the focal individual and then here i've used the same colors on a neural uh focused markov blanket so here the markov blanket is around the brain or the brain of the body and the internal states are what are happening inside the brain action states leave the brain and sensations enter the brain and then the hidden states are what are happening outside of the brain and then i put this kind of arrow in quotation marks and this is really where we get to the idea of a causal generative model of the world and that's when the brain speculates about how causes in the world might actually be related and it turns out that having a causal model of the world is one of the most effective ways to reduce your uncertainty because if you're always just waiting for sensations to show up and then trying to deal with them by changing your model or by doing actions it's going to be a very confusing world but if you can have a causal model of the world that says for example oh a car is something that emits a certain light and sound and heat and so none of those different stimuli are surprising because i have a generative model of the world where a car is driving in the street in front of me and so that's what explains the sensations you don't need to explain the sensations of the sound by changing your role model uh or by doing action per se just making this uh causal link in the world can reduce your uncertainty a lot but that's something that whether or not it's in the world it's actually being inferred by the brain and then just to unpack the math one more level and also connect the brain out to other systems here's a very similar drawing and this is just showing how um again the internal states of the brain influence the active states which influence the world plus the world has its own dynamics those relate to sensory breaths which influence the brain's internal model and again that plays back into action and similarly in the context of a non-brain cognitive entity like a bacillus we see that this internal model there's the exact same relationship the internal model influences action action influences the world plus it influences itself then the world influences observed states sensory states and those feed back into the internal model of the bacterium and so this is something that goes beyond brains or neurons or neuroscience this is something that has to do with inference and markov blankets any thoughts on that one uh i don't know maybe it will be late important i think about how markov blanket set up borders with outside of the system yeah we can consider and work with it as a real body and to define information flows or something like this yeah yeah so i think there we could go to section 1.1 of the paper narratives as cognitive schemas um maybe i'm sort of jumping ahead by just already talking about the active inference perspective on narratives but when i think about uh narrative and markov blankets one thought is like a joke uh you know three people walk into a bar it's like it's already told you the who and the what it's told you who is entering what the markov blanket you know we're not talking about the street outside the bar we're not talking about the uh office building down the road we're talking about the physical border of the bar and we're talking about three people entering that so we still there's a lot of uncertainty in that narrative but just by saying three people walk into a bar um if the next line of the story is and then the chicken says it's like it's a non-sequitur because that is something happening uh in the story but it's not part of the actual uh narrative it's not part of what was set up and so short stories or jokes or other narrative retellings are like little model systems where we can explore how exactly are narratives set up what are the inputs what are the transformations that happen during the narrative and then what are the outputs what do you think about that yeah i think it's possible to consider this perspective and um maybe one thing i want to add on this slide about sensations and sensations and action uh so if we can uh speak about mental action and a sensation like mental representation of person for himself for example yep yeah so in this way uh mental action is it the same action or uh you need to do a section with here you need to do a section with uh out of what yeah for sure great great great question and uh this is kind of for example when people talk about speech as a motor behavior then it's like it all works for when people are speaking but then what about the mental action of preparing speech or of hearing voices but not vocalizing them so there's this question about representation which is basically like you said is mental action action and then the flip side of that is is mental representation sensation is that fair yeah correct all right so here's what i would say to that um what we're experiencing as conscious entities i mean not speak for anyone else but what we're experiencing is always our internal generative model so that's why when we look out at the world we don't see a blind spot it's why the world appears to have similar clarity across the whole visual field have color across the visual field etc because we're experiencing our generative model and so when there's a uh mental uh arising when there's awareness of some phenomena that isn't necessarily driven by a change in the external conditions so you're in the room it's a dark room or it's a you know it's an unchanging light and all of a sudden you think about being at the lake so that's an experience that you're having um it could be a memory it could be a fantasy you could put different words on it but no sensory data entered you to cause that thought to occur and so in this model of the markov blanket the sensations are actually very very specifically the sensory information that's being transmitted through the primary senses so the internal states the dynamics of the internal states it can be like it's like wow i'm bored in this room i wish i were at the lake now i'm experiencing the lake and so that's you can still have that awareness and the representation of the lake but that's actually not happening through the sense uh thing so again just there we're always experiencing the internal generative model uh so experiences are not here experiences are out here this is purely about actual sense data and then in the exact same way action is actually referring to um what is physically embodied by the organism and so if the organism is planning which strategy it's going to use policy planning and it's like okay i'm going to wait 10 seconds and then as soon as he goes left i'm going to go right i'm going to run past him that's all part of the general model of the world it's part of the internal state and not until the organism actually acts is the action real so mental experiences and mental processes are all happening on the green and the red is literally smell taste sound vision and the blue is quite literally motor behavior does that categorize it or what do you think about that yeah cool inputs for me right now it's more clear good so um a few let's go to section three narratives as active inference since um let's we can kind of get to the real crux which is what does it mean to take a active inference perspective on narratives and so one part that i thought that was pretty nice point was that this the second sentence of section three they say we suggest that the capacity to build and share narratives evolved so key it evolved largely because it provides group members with the ability to engage in cooperative action by avoiding unexpected states of uncoordinated or contextually inappropriate action eg this is how we do things here not in other ways and so you reduce uncertainty for other people in a cultural context when you drive on the correct side of the road it would lead to a lot of uncertainty if every single time people had to come to a sort of just-in-time decision about which side of the road to drive on and so norms whether they're implicit or explicit norms are really interesting to think about in the sense of reducing uncertainty and so you can reduce uncertainty about somebody's um behavior in various ways and they suggest that this leads to an account of the conservative aspects of cultural practice or the traditional components really just the idea that anything is preserved is conserved or held as traditional from the past and that ensures that human agents that are in culture that way are able to reduce their uncertainty when working with each other what do you think about that or how does that seem to you too uh for me it's interesting to address from ideas of niche construction and really from functional side it's how you describe it it's reducing uncertainty and provides ways to be more effective in communication and our kind of stuff doing in collective way yeah so that's that's one on page 19. that's just one nice uh idea about how this reducing uncertainty perspective of free energy principle rather than maximize reward it contextualizes a lot of traditions so for example it's hard to understand how some cultural traditions or cultural norms are simply about maximizing reward because it's like reward for whom or how is it calculated or how is it implemented but rather when we switch out the thing that has to be done by culture as not just maximizing success or reward but actually just maximizing um the precision of the action it makes a lot more sense so then at the end of page 19 this is a second uh area where narratives and active inference are gonna intersect they write coherent self narratives provide individuals with a mean to maintain a stable course of action pertaining to own particular goals and experiences which limits the occurrence of unexpected states and so that first account of uh cultural uncertainty reduction is something that's happening at the level of like a population or a group and this second uh sense of narrative is more like something that somebody tells themself as a means to maintain a stable course of action so for example i'm gonna go ride my bike to get some batteries because my flashlight doesn't have any batteries and i'm riding to the store and then i get a flat tire so now i need to walk my bike to the bike store but after i go to the bike store then i'll be able to get those batteries so i can go to the flashlight it's like it makes sense because that story about i that story about what has to get done it's very flexible but it also prevents the occurrence of unexpected states and when unexpected states do occur like getting a flat tire it can be incorporated into my narrative about my day instead of causing me to freeze or halt like a computer if there's an unexpected exception might just freeze or crash but informational foragers real evolutionary creatures can't do that so that's one other very very personal uh way that narrative matters and then just on page 20 furthermore narratives are potential generators of innovation and change and this is sort of combining those previous two the collective narrative precision uh increasing components and then the individual precision increasing components of narrative and then this is sort of bringing them together and saying that by doing active inference like search of imagining of exploring imagining new possibilities in response to or anticipation of adaptation can reduce or uncertainty and so for example if we say we're going to reduce our uncertainty about the future of the climate by doing this and that kind of modeling and even though this or that weather pattern hasn't actually occurred we should build a new wall here and we should prepare this field for growing this crop so that's the way in which using predictive action um or acting in anticipation of environmental changes can reduce your uncertainty and that's a story that you're telling about the future it's a narrative um any other thoughts there um i want to say is for self narratives that actually people spend most of their time living in their self narratives and as for really feeling themselves the goods they always creating some kind of unreal stories and uh really going sometimes going in the wrong way mentally yeah it's a one of the the tenants about what leads to an organism surviving is the organism has to have a an optimistic uh future model like it the organism has to have a world view where it sees itself existing in the future i mean why sleep if there's no tomorrow or why eat if there's no tomorrow or you know all these things and we see that kind of survival reflex playing out when somebody's being held under water their body will struggle because it's not part of the expected sensory inputs to be drowning so on one hand we see this fundamental struggle for life which is deeply optimistic but then at the same time that goes awry when people sort of uh end up licensing themselves to be the judge jury and executioner so to speak of the world and then they're the star in their movie and they're walking around the world and everything is only mattering to the extent it makes sense to them or it benefits them so having this uh personal level narrative is uh sometimes at odds with the collective narrative that's really a huge area of tension and that makes me think a lot about this multi-level markov blanket you know here here's us you know here's one person let's just say on the left side here's stories coming in narratives coming in memes coming out so information in information out and the hidden model is someone's political beliefs or their beliefs about lord of the rings and then that person is actually taking part in larger systems and so here's the whole country or the whole group chat or the whole team and then that team also gets inputs and gives outputs and so that's coming back to your original question about what are markov blankets in the context of narratives and one element is markov blankets are defined by what comes in and what comes out and that's informational in this case and another answer or another aspect of the answer is because these markov blankets are also defined by their internal mechanics or at least their internal dynamics so dynamics would be referring to the patterns that are just simply observable and the mechanics would be the actual rules that lead to those dynamics arising we can think what are those rules and one example about where the rules um could be a little different let's just go back to that joke about three people in the bar we go three aliens walk into a bar on a world where gravity is reversed so it's like i've put this extra rule into the narrative and now other stuff is going to happen in the narrative that locally is going to make sense because i've also specified this other mechanism that's going to be relevant but without specifying that uh that mechanism then uh it's assumed that the rules of gravity are regular and actually another funny thing and there's been some work on this is with humor and optimal surprise like simply to be insulting is not funny as well as to say what everyone else says is also usually not funny but it's on that edge of chaos where comedy and uncertainty and people some are laughing some are crying some people are trying to stop themselves from laughing all these things happen due to surprise and so to think about this joke and again not to get too over analyzing of jokes but when the joke ends with a twist and it was like you know uh something that wasn't necessarily specified the beginning but there's a there's a double entendre there's a pun these things are all humorous and what's humorous about them is they deliver that optimal level of novelty or surprise so let's go to section 3.1 cognitive schema and active inference on page 20. and so this is going to be drilling down a little bit into the cognitive schema so this is internal to someone's brain these are the uh the cognitive patterns that one person has on board that are related to narratives that has to do with active inference and so they basically write about how having specific narratives of events like i was going to the store and then this happened and then this happened or i went to college and then this happened those events organize your life they org they give meaning to what you have to do when you have to wake up and not just like a you know theological meaning like literally it just gives sense to your day it tells you which direction to head out of the house and then secondly there's this meaningfulness that arises from uh general events and collective narratives and they basically say that what we can do and also i'll just point out that those two levels of analysis the cognitive and the collective those are referring back to when they said that the issue with the field is that the literature on narrative focuses on either one or the other so psychologists will focus on the internal cognitive schema of narrative and the anthropologist well focused or the cultural researcher will focus on the collective narratives um and they're going to try to use active inference to bridge that gap and so basically they say on the quote that goes from 20 to 21 um what explains these associations why these individual collective narrative roles are adaptive in an evolutionary sense is basically because they facilitate the process of active inference in page 21. that is the capacity of narratives to represent the specificity of events and to represent multiple events in a meaningful and coherent way helps individuals to more accurately predict future events and therefore respond to changing circumstances in their lives so that's pretty key what do you think about that um as it's stated about active inference that here in paper but it's first of all about adaptive behavior and for sure this part is about how it's work in real life for example and people are rarely act like this always living in some stores and describe for them for themselves future where future possible events and in terms for example engineering again you first need to create a description of future system and how it will work in future so it's way yep yes and um and just at the end of that section on the bottom of 21 where they say in short having a narrative or a repertoire of narratives furnishes inference with a simple and efficient way to account for sensory evidence at hand and what that allows uh organisms to do is to then provide hypotheses that enable inference to the best prediction so you're telling the story and it's like okay so there i was i had the flashlight and the batteries and my bike was working and then you can actually make hypotheses even if you knew very little about the person you could then say well what do you think would happen if they found out that the batteries were dead oh they might go back to the store because remember they needed the batteries for the flashlight or what would happen if this other thing happened so the narrative allows temporally related events to um become meaningful and in the context of artificial intelligence and in big data this is so important because the data overload means that let's just say that you had somebody who was they had agreed uh consented to provide you all their data so in the whole day you have their full movement patterns all their their smartphone and every web search and all their transactions all this stuff you still might never be able to reduce it to so simple a story in just a few sentences as i had to get batteries for my flashlight but then my bike tire got a flat that is really really hard to extract from just the gps data and the transaction data um because it's intermingled with so many other different components happening and so narratives are how we relate that sequence of events to ourself it's how we relate it to other people and then the challenge is to generate computational systems that can interact at that level of analysis um like you know okay google i want to you know get a haircut within three miles of where i am or something like that that's what we don't have and that's why the artificial intelligence community is so interested in these topics because potentially an act of inference based artificial intelligence uh both confusingly ai could have a more uh effective role in some of these questions so let's go to three one one narrative identity and active inference in this section they're gonna go a little bit more into that first person narration component and on 22 they write coherent narratives link together aspects of our experience in ways that decrease contradictions amongst choices values and goals and so the contextualization of narrative is like well it was really important to me to um spend time with my family but then for work i had to go away for two days and so that narrative is what allows that person to have two things uh that are otherwise contradictory which is well if families are important and work is important then what are you gonna do but the way that that's narrated it ends up not being that big of a deal and so it isn't that big of a deal because as they point out coherent narratives can reduce the dissonance amongst the complex and overarching expectations we have about our lives especially with relationship to future states so that's kind of i think one very interesting uh topic anything there or yvonne any questions or thoughts uh and again again i want to put about personal and uh fun functionally for coherent narratives that people in their in their lives uh usually not action we're trying to create a new narratives way why we don't uh do any action and uh when we speak about action it's about learning and learning it's about updating your model and it's looks like it's quite difficult for people stop to create new narratives just not going to do some actions yep very very true um two quotes that that really makes me think about on 22 about two-thirds the way down says self and identity narratives are framed against a background of cultural norms and values so they also can reference alternative narratives that provide explanations for non-normative unusual inconsistent or untoward events in the individual's life trajectory so that'd be something like you know when i was growing up everybody uh was drafted into the army but then because of this situation i didn't have to go so that explains why the individual was doing something explains why they had the sensory experience of being at home for a specific interval of time but it also juxtaposes it against a collective potentially normative idea and so this has a lot to do with humans seeking to differentiate themselves from each other is one tendency we want to be unique in some ways but also there's other areas where uh we want to fit in and so there might be cultures where it's valued more to be fitting in or not there might be different dimensions where we fit in different dish dimensions where we don't that's kind of like the idea of intersectionality and then on the page 23 where they're talking about meaning making and sense making and i i totally agree with that what you're talking about with most people being in a non-active state the sensations coming in the you know media coming in or the internet coming in it's just updating their internal states updating updating updating but it doesn't seem to be reflected that heavily in action sometimes and then they write on the middle 23 the meaning making process is an adaptive response to the occurrence of unexpected circumstances when expectations are broken an imaginative reorganization of our representations of ourselves and our environment is needed um but unfortunately if somebody sometimes gets a statistic or a fact that is not consistent with their worldview then that's where we see logical fallacies like oh ad hominem or that that person's just trolling or they're just uh you know trying to frustrate me or something because it's uh it's always possible to include into your view just the idea that that one fact is wrong or irrelevant rather than actually move into this totally new worldview because shifting the deeper attendance of your worldview is uh anxiety producing and so then also just to what you said about niche they talk about how uh before a new sense of familiarity and coherence i.e a new niche that's like a narrative niche can be reinstated exploration of new meaning epistemic foraging must occur in order to generate tests and discover new adaptive inferences so that's kind of a cool idea let's go to uh 3.12 event narratives so this uh section 3.12 which is a good length uh we can kind of just skip to the summary on 27 of this section where it says event narratives are ideally suited for active inference because of their ability to represent past and future events respectively in segmented event sequence and that provides a pool of uniquely structured information that helps predict future events and structures these inferenced in the form of cohesive future events so um it it it seems like a very basic point to build the paper towards which is that narratives help us recognize where we are recognize who we are personally and culturally recognize where we've been and then make predictions about the future that hopefully will help us reduce uncertainty these points are not major but i would argue that it's actually quite um encouraging and powerful that these sorts of claims which usually would be the qualitative uh end point of some sort of psychological or cultural analysis of narrative rather those are the starting points for us having a quantitative analysis potentially to analyze narratives um but that this section we've been kind of discussing uh throughout so section 3.13 integrating the functions of cognitive schema narratives as in as active inference so that's one of the final sections before they turned to storytelling um and uh that just is about what it says it's gonna be about any thoughts on that one like that's kind of related to what we've been discussing as well where they say on uh 27 on the bottom future projections and episodic memory can be understood as mental action or policy selection and perception so that kind of relates to the idea of mental action yeah yep and then just to kind of finish out the uh body of the paper before we return to a few more images and close out the section three two storytelling regimes of attention and deontic cues so uh regimes of attention are this idea that um you're paying attention to something you know when the child is in school and they're being trained to pay attention to different sorts of cues and what symbols mean this idea that attention and that attention as shaped by active inference uh as on 29 where there's a few citations to constant at all 2019 and constant at all 2018 that the narratives direct what is salient to human agents um so it'd be like you know three people walk into a bar and one of them has three legs it's like one of those statements is surprising the one about three people walking into a bar is not but the one about somebody having a different number of body parts is and so narratives allow us to very very easily draw on the tremendous amount of information that we have in our generative model of the world and then use that to discover anomalies in our observations and deontic is a word that means duty so related to what somebody uh must or should do and theref and so we can think about narratives for ourself and collective narratives as being deontic so when jfk you know said ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country it's almost like instead of thinking about the united states of markham blanket and how that is going to provide something for you as well you might want to think about you as a markov blanket and how you as a personal narrative active inference machine might also be playing a role in this larger system uh maybe he was thinking about free energy maybe he wasn't hard to say and then they kind of closed the loop in um that paragraph in the middle of 30 where they write um deontic cues guide the sensory motor patterns through which agents engage adaptively their niches action thereby guiding the ways in which agents update their recognition model so for example when my alarm clock goes off and i go okay i have 30 minutes to take a shower get dressed bike to school because i have to be sitting in this lecture hall so that i can receive the sensory input of the lecturer so that i'll be able to update my model about organic chemistry so that when there's a final i'm able to reduce my uncertainty about what the answer is so that i'm able to get this grade that i want and so the deontic cue is like the post note that might be on my alarm clock that says get up you have to go to organic chemistry but that ends up guiding the sensory motor patterns and ideally that is a adaptive engagement through action and then that leads to differences in perception and learning and then this relates to a lot of other work um i think it might be the vessier uh at all 2020 citation on page 31 which is the idea of thinking through other minds which is a more recent development in the free energy slash active inference cultural perspective so let's go just to their conclusion the authors are going to summarize what they've been discussing they write we have proposed an integrative model of the diverse functions of narrative as tools for active inference in ways that clarify their cognitive and social uses so again the big point of the paper was that there's this cognitive internal level and this social external level and the literature tends to focus on one or the other they brought the big guns out active inference and so they're going to integrate cognitive and social under the umbrella of active inference so that's going to give internal coherence to the study of narrative and it's also going to give external coherence because now we can study narrative alongside other informational and thermodynamic processes then they in the following sentences recall a bunch of the specifics they talk about how narratives are useful for segmenting events for uh building an information pool for making future projections for meaning making and sense making for belief updating for assimilating unexpected information for maintaining cohesive integrity of our complex network of expectations so as to minimize internal contradictions as well as providing expectations to culturally common situations and typical life trajectories um and then they close by discussing that idea of the deontic narrative and the narratives that are about how the world could or should be and then that situates our role in the world and that actually shapes our sensory motor action patterns and that their last sentence is just that the importance and ubiquity of narratives uh in the various domains of adaptation and sociality it should be explained not by appeal to entertainment or simply information exchange or communication only but rather by phrasing this all within the context of active inference we get a very very powerful framework to get internal and external coherence for narratives um then just sort of in closing i thought i would go to a paper from march 31st to 2020 uh active inference on discrete state spaces a synthesis and just a little bit looking at how uh active inference what what could be the next steps and this is something that uh you know the three of us have talked about quite a lot which is this paper is awesome it's also a qualitative perspective that doesn't dig into all the details that we wanted to see resolved that's why research is on the edge and so these are just a few of the ways in which active inference has been specified and so we might begin to think about how narrative could play into some of this stuff so here we see that familiar diagram with the brain internal states action states external sensory states and then there's basically two things that are happening two optimization processes that are happening at the same time perception is the brain making sense of sensory data and action is the brain's selecting policy and what happens is the way that free energy is minimized given the sensory data two things can happen you can either make sense of the sensory data by changing your worldview or you can change your sensory data by engaging in action and so it turns out that by different transformations of these mathematical relationships that are specified exhaustively in this paper we pull out a few key terms so here's value this is the discounted or the expected utility it turns out that the value um expected value of an action or expected value of a stimulus relating to questions about optimal control and cybernetics as well these questions about value uh actually arise uh purely from thinking about uncertainty through time uncertainty through time is also related to uh surprise this is why on both of these we see this log p be a given m um and this negative f and f and then um also we're able to introduce the topics of entropy self-organization synergetics homeostasis and of course model evidence this is the key um uh term pebm that's represented in all of these so those are a few interesting topics uh this is another visualization that talks about how active inference and markov blankets have very specific other downstream mathematical relationships again not too much to discuss at this point but these are just to put up and then this is the brain and here are the different variables in their brain represented visually so here are for example the generative model and how things are being influenced and how voter cortex is ending up select policy moving to the motor cortex moving out and then maybe we can just close on this slide which alex i think you put in where we have two agents or more and here for agent one here's their regime of attention this is their internal model what they're paying attention to what is salient for them and this is related to who they are if they don't speak the language they can pay attention to the sounds but they can't pay attention to the meaning if they don't know the area they can pay attention to the words but not really the connections agent one engages in action and that kind of dumps into the world and the world is full of epistemic resources cues this is just what is and then the world uh ends up dealing out sensations to both of these agents and then it feeds back and so it's kind of like the conversation would be okay this person is listening they speak it dumps it into the text room or the the jitsi video chat that's sensed by agent n agent n pays attention acts that goes back into the chat room and so there's like this infinity here uh and that's thinking through other minds that's how narratives are shared this is really where we want to go is thinking at a really formal level as well as an applied level how can we bring this kind of clarity to action sensation and collaboration how can we bring that to the system's perspective the complexity yep perspective and um i want to add here we see a green zone about epistemic resources and silence and as we see from this paper narratives are really one of fundamental part of human well-being and developments and culture social and so on so and if so much functions in it we need to uh see closer to things like about epistemic side of his narrative and silent silence part of his narratives and trying to find ways to have some kind of evaluation and qualification for such sources or narratives as well agreed agreed and again with this idea of like there's the internal coherence and then the external coherence we can return to that joke it's like in the context of the joke you can make a mark of blanket for the joke where three people walk into a bar that's literally the three people walking into a barkov blanket um probably there's three people walking to a mark called blanket they get lost um but then zooming out there's also the cultural context that the joke occurs within uh the kind of context that makes uh three people walk into a bar now that's common it's an american or it's an english joke format you know this many people walk into a bar or knock knock who's there now that might be a culturally specific thing and so that joke is going to be more or less expected more or less funny to somebody who's in that cultural context and so the epistemic resources and the salience have to deal with the stimulus in question like the joke itself but also it has to be taken into account that because we're talking about agents that are paying attention the culture of the agent is going to dictate what they find salient there might be things that are in the world that are not salient because the uh individual doesn't have the narrative that allows them to retain that salience um any closing thoughts especially yvonne i just i just uh have remembered one russian joke that's congruent with the english three people walking the barriers the bill goes in the forest it's uh it's [Music] start with the beer goes in the forest and it has a lot of different ants in this story exactly and some of these cultural stubs like these starters for jokes it allows uh the format for anything it's kind of like a http packet you know you have the header that just says i'm an internet packet that's like saying you know when you say a bear walks into a forest it's like i'm telling you a joke but you can't just say i'm going to tell you a joke right now and so these are signals that are extremely rich with information and just having a text-based natural language processing ai will totally miss out on that cultural context and then let's say you told like a variant of the joke you know um uh an ant walks into the forest it's not a non-sequitur but it's not really referencing a real ant walking into a forest and these are these overlapping levels of cultural jokes and meaning that are really pointing the way to how rich the study could be with active inference so how how do you think what the first thing that is uh people don't have people of different culture don't have to to do not missing the point of communication how can what do they can what can they [Music] do first to reduce miscommunicating yeah good question and especially in a digital and international context it's so important that there's reduction of uncertainty so i mean just really quickly a few things would be just at every possible opportunity where there's any question about uncertainty i feel like always getting the uh consent from both okay we were just talking about this topic right and so just getting used to agreeing with each other and getting used to uh altruistically or just politely exchanging information starts to train us to work well together even when the situation is very tense so that's one part is where we can be extremely accurate in communication we should be extremely accurate and then on the technological side i think it's important just to communicate simply instead of using think oh we'll just use video and use body language and make sure that you're really expressive with your hands uh yeah the tone of voice and the hand motions even if they come across with no lag and the person is watching your screen different cultures might unpack different hand motions or different facial expressions very differently and so i think that when there's differences in culture that lead to challenges in communication it's critical to really just focus in on what you're actually trying to communicate and make sure that there's as little uncertainty as possible about that and then the cultural stuff deal with it as it's needed and whenever it's needed to deal with it um absolutely it's important to deal with it because nothing can be more important than helping the team become more effective more precise i think in digital it's more simple to um to make clear enough communication between email between two people because in when we when we are talking in real life we can't to add some hashtag to uh describe what what do we uh [Music] what do we mean yep we can use a rich multimodal features so we could be having this chat and someone could say i'm sorry i just could you spell out the city that you mentioned and then they can type it in the text box or somebody can share their screen and draw something out things that couldn't happen in person i i agree these are all really important and that relates to epistemic resources so when the people who you're dealing with are all in the same discipline and all the same culture maybe the epistemic resources are very professional but when we're talking about broad spectrum communication potentially the epistemic resources and the salience cues would be like using a color scheme that's accessible for everybody and using icons to demonstrate where the settings are like having a gear in the bottom right of jitsi the three dots having a gear that says setting that's really helpful because it's kind of like a universal icon for the settings and then otherwise it could be a situation where someone doesn't know english and they can't find the settings so then how are they going to be able to find the language uh option because they can't even find the settings section but with the gear it's um it's a salience cue that goes beyond culture uh and so that is what helps people get along together and again going back to like what are the actual applications of this if we could understand how individuals in different cultures are going to perceive different narratives and what role they see themselves playing in the narratives it could really open the door to extremely interactive and authentic narratives by people that don't have to be situated as being at odds with some sort of evil system and it's like they're they're the righteous crusader fighting against everyone else who's dumb or the system's corrupt and they're just you know doing what they can all these narratives that that uh hit the individual versus the group or versus specific groups lead to adversarial game theory and so not not that there's never going to be competition in the world but potentially by having these protocols for interaction and for communication just like we have protocols for trade we could have protocols for information that are also healthy yeah cool and as for protocols uh and you said before about signals and i think if you speak about culture it's really mostly uh shared by narratives and uh if he's considered culture not like a global uh gentleman but a local so each team could have own culture and they define it by narratives and it creates a niche by that supporting by tools and the tools really could support such protocols where some meta information added to communication and communication process is also structured according to some models from active inferences we see totally agreed and i think on a closing note this has been our first podcast live stream discussion for team kong so it's a a landmark event for us we're using jitsi for live streaming to youtube we used google slides for the presentation the pre-print servers psi archive and the internet in general are what allowed us to make these presentations and um we can really just see this as happening as just another event we're observing this live stream come to an end it's part of our narrative of having met in uh you know in service of these ideas and with a lot of the same interests and so yeah this was really a great discussion and i'm looking forward to continuing these discussions yeah thank you very much for your leading discussion i think results are interesting and we will use it in future for sure all right i'm going to terminate the live stream now | Active Inference Institute | UCbPq2w41ZaJSWtpCq4BE6Dg |

russian/soviet Konstantinovich gamsakhurdia TR zviad konstantinovich gamsakhurdia march 31st 1939 to December 31st 1993 was a Georgian politician dissident scholar and writer who became the first democratically elected president of Georgia in the post-soviet era gamsakhurdia is the only Georgian President to have died while formally in office topic gamsakhurdia as dissident you topic early career zviad gamsakhurdia was born in the Georgian capital Tbilisi in 1939 in a distinguished Georgian family his father academician Konstantin gamsakhurdia 1893 to 1975 was one of the most famous Georgian writers of the 20th century perhaps influenced by his father zviad received training in full AG and began a professional career as a translator and literary critic despite or perhaps because of the country's association with Joseph Stalin Soviet rule in Georgia was particularly harsh during the 1950's and sought to restrict Georgian cultural expression in 1955 zviad gamsakhurdia established a youth underground group which he called the gorg as leone a reference to the ancient line of Georgian Kings which sought to circulate reports of human rights abuses in 1956 he was arrested during demonstrations in tube Lisi against the Soviet policy of de-stalinization and was arrested again in 1958 for distributing anti-communist literature and proclamations he was confined for six months to a mental hospital in Tbilisi where he was diagnosed as suffering from psychopathy with decompensation thus perhaps becoming an early victim of what became a widespread policy of using psychiatry for political purposes topic human rights activism gamsakhurdia achieved wider prominence in 1972 during a campaign against the corruption associated with the appointment of a new Catholicos of the georgian orthodox church of which he was a fervent adherent in 1973 he co-founded the Georgian Action Group for the defense of Human Rights four years earlier a Moscow based group of that name sent an appeal to the UN Human Rights Committee in 1974 he became the first Georgian member of Amnesty International and in 1976 he co-founded and became chairman of the Georgian Helsinki group he was also active in the underground network of samizdat publishers contributing to a wide variety of underground political periodicals among them were acro sattva see the Golden Fleece Sicard Veloz mone the Georgian Herald Sicard Vela Georgia Matti on animals and vestnik drusy he contributed to the Moscow based underground periodical chronicle of current events April 1968 to December 1982 gamsakhurdia was also the first Georgian member of the International Society for Human Rights is HR IGF M perhaps seeking to emulate his father zviad gamsakhurdia also pursued a distinguished academic career he was a senior research fellow of the Institute of Georgian literature of the Georgian Academy of Sciences 1973 to 1977 1985 to 1990 associate professor of the tably Sea State University 1973 to 1975 1985 to 1990 and member of the Union of Georgia's riders 1966 to 1977 1985 to 1991 PhD in the field of fallujah 1973 and doctor of Sciences full doctor 1991 he wrote a number of important literary works monographs and translations of British French and American literature including translations of works by TS Eliot William Shakespeare Charles Baudelaire and Oscar Wilde he was also an outstanding restful ologist shota Rustaveli was a great Georgian poet of the 12th century and researcher of history of the Iberian Caucasian culture although he was frequently harassed and occasionally arrested for his dissidents for a long time gamsakhurdia avoided serious punishment probably as a result of his family's prestige and political connections his luck ran out in 1977 when the activities of the Helsinki groups in the Soviet Union became a serious embarrassment to the Soviet government of Leonid Brezhnev a nationwide crackdown on human rights activists was instigated across the Soviet Union and members of the Helsinki groups in Moscow Lithuania Ukraine Armenia and Georgia were arrested in Georgia the government of Eduard Shevardnadze who was then first secretary of the Georgian Communist Party arrested gamsakhurdia and his fellow dissident merabh Kostova on the 7th of April 1977 topic trial 15 to 19 May 1978 there remains some dispute about gamsakhurdia z' behavior or strategy during his pretrial detention in the trial itself in particular this concerns a TV broadcast in which apparently he recanted his activities as a human rights activist a contemporary and uncensored account of these events may be found in the chronicle of current events the two men were sentenced to three years in the camps plus three years exile for an VIII Soviet activities gamsakhurdia did not appeal but his sentence was commuted to two years exile in neighboring Dagestan their imprisonment attracted international attention Kostov his appeal was rejected and he was sent to a penal colony for three years followed by three years exile or internal banishment to Siberia cost of his sentence only ended in 1987 at the end of june 1979 gamsakhurdia was released from jail and pardoned in controversial circumstances by then taking pretrial detention into account he had served two years of his sentence the authorities claimed that he had confessed to the charges and recanted his beliefs a film clip was shown on soviet television to substantiate their claim according to a transcript published by the Soviet news agency Tass gamsakhurdia spoke of how wrong was the road I had taken when I disseminated literature hostile to the Soviet state bourgeois propaganda seized upon my mistakes and created a hullabaloo around me which causes me pangs of remorse I have realized the essence of the Pharisaic campaign launched in the West camouflaged under the slogan of upholding human rights his supporters family and merabh Kostova claimed that his reckon tation was coerced by the KGB and although he publicly acknowledged that certain aspects of his anti Soviet endeavors were mistaken he did not renounce his leadership of the dissident movement in Georgia perhaps more importantly his actions ensured that the dissident leadership could remain active Kostova and gamsakhurdia later both independently stated that the latter's reckon tation had been a tactical move in an open letter to Shevardnadze dated april 19 1992 gamsakhurdia claimed that my so-called confession was necessitated because if there had been no confession and my release from the prison in 1979 had not taken place then there would not have been a rise of the National Movement gamsakhurdia returned to dissident activities soon after his release continuing to contribute to samizdat periodicals and campaigning for the release of merabh Kostova in 1981 he became the spokesman of the students and others who protested in tube lisi about the threats to Georgian identity in the Georgian cultural heritage he handed a set of demands of the Georgian people to Shevardnadze outside the congress of the Georgian Writers Union at the end of March 1981 which earned him another spell in jail topic moves towards independence when the Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev initiated his policy of glasnost gamsakhurdia played a key role in organizing mass pro-independence rallies held in Georgia between 1987 to 1990 in which he was joined by merabh Kostova on the latter's release in 1987 in 1988 gamsakhurdia became one of the founders of the Society of st. Ilya the righteous SSI are a combination of a religious Society and a political party which became the basis for his own political movement the following year the brutal suppression by Soviet forces of a large peaceful demonstration held in Tbilisi on April 4 to 9 1989 proved to be a pivotal event in discrediting the continuation of Soviet rule over the country the progress of democratic reforms was accelerated and led to Georgia's first democratic multi-party elections held on October 28 1990 gamsakhurdia 's ssi our party in the georgian helsinki union joined with other opposition groups to head a reformist coalition called round table free Georgia MRG Valley majeeda tava subha Lisa Carvalho the coalition won a convincing victory with 64% of the vote as compared with the Georgian Communist Party's 29.6% on November 14 1990 Sevilla gamsakhurdia was elected by an overwhelming majority as chairman of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Georgia Georgia held a referendum on restoring its pre Soviet independence on March 31st 1991 in which 90 point zero eight percent of those who voted declared in its favor the Georgian Parliament passed a declaration of independence on April 9th 1991 in effect restoring the 1918 to 1921 Georgian sovereign state however it was not recognized by the Soviet Union and although a number of foreign powers granted early recognition universal recognition did not come until the following year gamsakhurdia was elected president in the election of May 26th with 86.5% percent of the vote on a turnout of over 83% you topic gamsakhurdia as president on taking office gamsakhurdia was faced with major economic and political difficulties especially regarding Georgia's relations with the Soviet Union a key problem was the position of Georgia's many ethnic minorities making up 30% of the population although minority groups had participated actively in Georgia's return to democracy they were underrepresented in the results of the October 1990 elections with only nine of 245 deputies being non Georgians even before Georgia's independence the position of national minorities was contentious and led to outbreaks of serious inter-ethnic violence in Abkhazia during 1989 in 1989 violent unrest broke out in South Ossetian autonomous Oblast between the Georgian independence minded population of the region and Ossetians loyal to the Soviet Union South Ossetia is regional Soviet announced that the region would secede from Georgia to form a soviet democratic republic in response the Georgian Supreme Soviet annulled the autonomy of South Ossetia in March 1990 a threeway power struggle between Georgian Ossetian and Soviet military forces broke out in the region which resulted by March 1991 in the deaths of 51 people and the eviction from their homes of 25,000 more after his election as chairman of the newly renamed Supreme Council gamsakhurdia denounced the Ossetian move as being part of a Russian ploy to undermine Georgia declaring the Ossetian separatists to be direct agents of the Kremlin its tools and terrorists in February 1991 he sent a letter to Mikhail Gorbachev demanding the withdrawal of Soviet Army units and an additional contingent of interior troops of the USSR from the territory of former autonomous district of South Ossetia according to George cuts Asheville II the nationalist Georgia for the Georgians hysteria launched by the followers of gamsakhurdia played a decisive role in bringing about Bosnia like inter-ethnic violence topic human rights violations criticism on December 27 1991 us-based Helsinki watch NGO issued a report on human rights violations made by the government of gamsakhurdia the report included information undocumented freedom of assembly freedom of speech freedom of the press violations in Georgia on political imprisonment human rights abuses by Georgian government and paramilitary in South Ossetia and other human rights violations topic the rise of the opposition gamsakhurdia x' opponents were highly critical of what they regarded as unacceptably dictatorial behavior which had already been the subject of criticism even before his election as president prime minister tangas sigma and two other senior ministers resigned on August 19th in protest against gamsakhurdia Spalla seized the three ministers joined the opposition accusing him of being a demagogue and totalitarian and complaining about the slow pace of economic reform in an emotional television broadcast gamsakhurdia claimed that his enemies were engaging in sabotage and betrayal within the country gamsakhurdia x' response to the coup against President Gorbachev was a source of further controversy on August 19th gamsakhurdia the Georgian government and the Presidium of the Supreme Council issued an appeal to the Georgian population to remain calm stay at their workplaces and perform their jobs without yielding to provocations or taking unauthorized actions the following day gamsakhurdia appealed to international leaders to recognise the Republic's including Georgia that had declared themselves independent of the Soviet Union and to recognize all legal authorities including the Soviet authorities - posed by the coup he claimed publicly on August 21st that Gorbachev himself had masterminded the coup in an attempt to boost his popularity before the Soviet presidential elections an allegation rejected as ridiculous by US President George HW Bush in a particularly controversial development the Russian news agency Interfax reported that gamsakhurdia had agreed with the Soviet military that the Georgian National Guard would be disarmed and on August 23rd he issued decrees abolishing the post of commander of the Georgian National Guard and redesignate its members as interior troops subordinate to the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs in reality the National Guard was already a part of the Ministry of the Interior and gamsakhurdia 's opponents who claimed he was seeking to abolish it were asked to produce documents they claimed they possessed which verified their claims but did not do so gamsakhurdia always maintained he had no intention of disbanding the National Guard in defiance of the alleged order of gamsakhurdia the SAC National Guard commander tangas Kido vani led most of his troops out of Tbilisi on August 24th by this time however the coup had clearly failed and gamsakhurdia publicly congratulated russia's president Boris Yeltsin on his victory over the purchased Russian journal courier Paris September 1991 Georgia had survived the coup without any violence but gamsakhurdia 's opponents accused him of not being resolute in opposing it gamsakhurdia reacted angrily accusing shadowy forces in moscow of conspiring with his internal enemies against Georgia's independence movement in a rally in early September he told his supporters the infernal machinery of the Kremlin will not prevent us from becoming free having defeated the traders Georgia will achieve its ultimate freedom he shut down an opposition newspaper male do screwsie on the grounds that it had published open calls for a national rebellion Georgie Chan Turia whose National Democratic Party was one of the most active opposition groups at that time was arrested and imprisoned on charges of seeking help from Moscow to overthrow the legal government it was also reported that channel 2 a television station was closed down after employees took part in rallies against the government the government's activities aroused controversy at home and strong criticism abroad a visiting delegation of US congressman led by representative Steny Hoyer reported that there were severe human rights problems within the present new government which is not willing to address them or admit them or do anything about them yet American commentators cited the human rights issue as being one of the main reasons for Georgia's inability to secure widespread international recognition the country had already been granted recognition by a limited number of countries including Romania turkey Canada Finland Ukraine the Baltic States and others but recognition by major countries including the u.s. Sweden Switzerland France Belgium Pakistan India came only during Christmas of 1991 the political dispute turned violent on September 2nd when an anti-government demonstration in tube Lisi was dispersed by police the most ominous development was the splintering of the Georgian National Guard in two Pro and anti-government factions with the latter setting up an armed camp outside the capital skirmishes between the two sides occurred across Tube Lisi during October and November with occasional fatalities resulting from gunfights paramilitary groups one of the largest of which was the anti gamsakhurdia Mehcad rioni horseman or knight a nationalist militia with several thousand members set up barricades around the city Topic coup d'etat on December 22nd 1991 armed opposition supporters launched a violent coup d'etat and attacked a number of official buildings including the Georgian Parliament building where gamsakhurdia himself was sheltering heavy fighting continued in tably sea until January 6 1992 leaving hundreds dead in the center of the city heavily damaged on January 6th gamsakhurdia and members of his government escaped through opposition lines and made their way to Azerbaijan where they were denied Asylum Armenia finally hosted gamsakhurdia for a short period and rejected Georgian demand to extradite gamsakhurdia back to Georgia in order not to complicate tense relations with Georgia Armenian authorities allowed gamsakhurdia to move to the breakaway Russian Republic of Chechnya where he was granted asylum by the rebel government of general Johar Judea it was later claimed that Russian forces had been involved in the coup against gamsakhurdia on December 15 1992 the Russian newspaper moskovskaja Novosti printed a letter claiming that the former vice commander of the trans Caucasian Military District Colonel general Sufi and Beppe I of head senta subdivision to assist the armed opposition if the intervention had not taken place it was claimed gamsakhurdia supporters would have been guaranteed victory it was also claimed that Soviet special forces had helped the opposition to attack the state television tower on December 28 a military council made up of gamsakhurdia opponents took over the government on an interim basis one of its first actions was to formally depose gamsakhurdia as president it reconstituted itself as a State Council and without any formal referendum or election in march 1992 appointed gamsakhurdia x' old rival eduard shevardnadze as chairman who then ruled as de facto president until the formal restoration of the presidency in november 1995 topic gamsakhurdia in exile after his overthrow gamsakhurdia continued to promote himself as the legitimate president of Georgia he was still recognized as such by some governments and international organizations although as a matter of pragmatic politics the insurrectionist military council was quickly accepted as the governing authority in the country gamsakhurdia himself refused to accept his ouster not least because he had been elected to the post with an overwhelming majority of the popular vote in conspicuous contrast to the undemocratically appointed Shevardnadze in november to december 1992 he was invited to Finland by the Georgia friendship group of the Parliament of Finland and Austria by the International Society for human rights in both countries he held press conferences and meetings with parliamentarians and government officials source Georgian newspaper Iberia spectra tably see December 15 to 21 1992 clashes between Pro and anti gamsakhurdia forces continued throughout 1992 and 1993 with gamsakhurdia supporters taking captive government officials and government forces retaliating with reprisal raids one of the most serious incidents occurred in Tbilisi on June 24 1992 when armed gamsakhurdia supporters seized the state television Center they managed to broadcast a radio message declaring that the legitimate government has been reinstated the red hunter is nearing its end however they were driven out within a few hours by the National Guard they may have intended to prompt a mass uprising against the shevardnadze government but this did not materialize shevardnadze's government imposed a harshly repressive regime throughout Georgia to suppress Soviet ISM with security forces in the pro-government Mehcad rioni militia carrying out widespread arrests and harassment of gamsakhurdia supporters although Georgia's poor human rights record was strongly criticized by the international community shevardnadze's personal prestige appears to have convinced them to swallow their doubts and grant the country formal recognition government troops moved into Abkhazia in September 1992 in an effort to root out gamsakhurdia supporters among the Georgian population of the region but well-publicized rights abuses succeeded only in worsening already poor ethnic relations later in September 1993 a full-scale war broke out between Georgian forces and AB casion separatists this ended in a decisive defeat for the government with government forces and 300,000 Georgians being driven out of Abkhazia and an estimated 10,000 people being killed in the fighting topic the 1993 civil war gamsakhurdia soon took up the apparent opportunity to bring down Shevardnadze he returned to Georgia on September 24th 1993 a couple of days before the ultimate fall of Sokka me establishing a government in exile in the western georgian city of Zug DD he announced that he would continue the peaceful struggle against an illegal military Hunta and concentrated on building an anti Shevardnadze coalition drawing on the support of the regions of sama grello Mongolia and Abkhazia he also built up a substantial military force that was able to operate relatively freely in the face of the weak security forces of the state after initially demanding immediate elections gamsakhurdia took advantage of the Georgian Army's route to seize large quantities of weapons abandoned by the retreating governmental forces a civil war engulfed Western Georgia in October 1993 as gamsakhurdia z' forces succeeded in capturing several key towns and transport hubs government forces fell back in disarray leaving few obstacles between gamsakhurdia z' forces and tube lessee however gamsakhurdia is capture of the economically vital Georgian Black Sea port of Poti threatened the interests of Russia Armenia totally landlocked and dependent on Georgia's ports and Azerbaijan in an apparent and very controversial quid pro quo all three countries expressed their support for shevardnadze's government which in turn agreed to join the Commonwealth of Independent States while the support from Armenia and Azerbaijan was purely political Russia quickly mobilized troops to aid the Georgian government on October 20th around 2000 Russian troops moved to protect Georgian railroads and provided logistical support and weapons to the poorly armed government forces the uprising quickly collapsed and Zogby befell on November 6 topic gamsakhurdia is death on December 31st 1993 zviad gamsakhurdia died in circumstances

the Interfax news agency that her husband shot himself on December 31st when he and a group of colleagues found the building where he was sheltering surrounded by forces of the pro shevardnadze Mehcad

the Chechen authorities published what they claimed was gamsakhurdia suicide note being in clear state of mind I commit this act in token of protest against the ruling regime in Georgia and because I

former chief commander lodi Cavalia gamsakhurdia is death was announced by the Georgian government on January 5th 1994 some refused to believe that gamsakhurdia had died at all but this question was

V0BGbt0RdiQ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0BGbt0RdiQ | Revenue Recognition. Intermediate Accounting | hello and welcome to this session in which we would look at the revenue recognition principle or what i call it the new revenue recognition it's not relatively new it has been new since 2014 but every time i teach this revenue recognition because i switched from the old en quote to the note so i would always call it the new revenue recognition this revenue recognition is covered in your accounting courses intermediate accounting as well as the important cpa exam now if you're studying for your cpa exam you need to be very familiar with the revenue recognition maybe you went to school long time ago and you learned the old rules or maybe your college did not teach you that material properly or you learn it but you forgot it here's what i can offer you on foreheadlectures.com i don't replace your cpa course whether you are taking packer roger gleim or wiley what i can do is i can be an addition i can be a supplement like a vitamin to your cpa course and i can increase your score by 10 to 15 points so you can put the exam behind you and live your life and focus on your career and i suggest you check out my website if not for anything is just to check how well is your university doing on the cpa exam i have scores by overall average i have score by section as well if you're an accounting student i have plenty of accounting courses on my website that's going to help you supplement and complement your courses please check out my not check out please connect with me on linkedin this way we are connected like my this recording and subscribe to my youtube i upload on regular basis this way you will get a notification every time i upload follow me on instagram and like my facebook page first let's just have an overview why do we why did we have to learn about this new rule why did they change the rules so i just need to know that recently fazbee and the iasv issued a converged standard on revenue recognition entitled revenue from contract with customers so the new term that you know you need to be start to get familiar with is you have to have some sort of a contract before your you can recognize revenue and the reason for this converged standard is because fasb had too many standards for revenue recognitions so what happened is at some at some transaction would have would have been revenue under fasb not revenue under ifrs or revenue under ifrs but not revenue under fasb and because of the global economy and companies are operating you know globally uh revenues is an important figure revenue is as important as cash so what happened is they decided to kind of have one revenue recognition so all companies would follow this revenue recognition the principle and this way revenue is recognized on basically on the same playing field across the globe okay so it's to address the inconsistent inconsistencies and weaknesses of the previous approach the previous approach was earned revenue is earned realized or realizable now we're going to be using a different standard okay so a comprehensive revenue recognition standard now applies to a wide range of transaction and industries okay now revenue from contract with customers adopts an asset liability approach so what they're going to be looking at now is the change so i'm just going to put the change so they're going to look at when they when they want to determine revenue they're going to look at the change in asset what happened to the change in net asset for each party and the change in net liability okay so account for revenue based on asset or liability arising from the from the contract with customers so we're going to look at the contract and determine what assets and liabilities will change so we are required to analyze contract with customers and in this session specifically we're going to be focusing on contra you know we're going to break this revenue recognition into steps and this is the recording that we focus on contract so the contract indicate terms and measurement of consideration measurement of consideration is the dollar amount terms is what are we going to be delivering and the the dollar amount what dollar amount do we record on the books so simply put without a contract what we're saying companies cannot know whether a promises will be met so without the contract in theory there should be no revenue now a contract can be oral or written or implied but if there's no contract supposedly there is no revenue because the contract is the foundation the contract will identify what are your rights what are your obligation and assume that the contract obviously is enforceable but if there's no contract there's no revenue okay and this is basically a summary of what we're going to be doing uh throughout the throughout the the session but this is a good summary so the key objective is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflect the consideration that the company receives or expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services of course we are going to record revenues based on what we're going to be receiving or expect to receive there's a five-step process for revenue recognition so this is basically the new thing the five-step process so step one which we're going to be covering in this session today is identify the contract with customer and this is basically in a sense this is the foundation the foundation step what is the basically what is a contract we're going to determine what is considered a contract does a contract exist then we're going to identify the separate performance application and the contract this is going to be a separate recording we're going to determine the transaction price and we're going to talk about how to determine the transaction price do we need a specific price not a specific price enough information to determine the price we'll talk about this later and we're going to allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligation assuming we have separate performance obligation as in step two then recognize revenue when each performance obligation that we identified into and allocated an amount to in step four is satisfied so revenue recognition don't take place until you still you have to perform your obligation in order to satisfy the revenue recognition so revenue recognized recognized revenue in the accounting period when the performance obligation is satisfied it's pretty straightforward this is the revenue recognition you recognize your revenue when you perform when you perform pretty straightforward okay so let's take a look at a quick example that illustrate the five steps but basically very simple just to kind of get you used to this idea of contract so assume boeing a company assume boeing corporation signs a contract to sell airplanes to delta airlines for 100 million pretty straight forward contract identify the contract with customers first yes there is a contract identified the contract with customer a contract what is a contract it's an agreement between two parties and we have here an agreement that create enforceable rights or obligations in this case boeing has signed a contract to deliver airplanes to delta okay they have and they have they have an obligation to deliver airplanes to delta identify the separate performance obligation in the contract step two we have only one performance one obligation to deliver airplanes to delta pretty straightforward now if boeing agrees agreed to maintain the planes a separate performance obligation is recorded for that promise so if there's another promise to maintain the those planes then that's a separate performance but here we only have one performance basically selling the plane step three determine the transaction price and this transaction pretty straightforward the transaction price is the amount of consideration that the company expect to receive from a customer in exchange for transferring goods or services well 100 million we're done allocate the price to the separate performance obligation we only have one performance obligation in this contract in this case we only have one the obligation to deliver the airplane and step five when do one when do they recognize revenue recognize revenue of 100 million uh when when when you satisfy the performance obligation and how do you satisfy the performance obligation in this example delivery deliver the airplanes and you have a performance obligation uh satisfied okay but step five is when basically this is when to recognize revenue when to recognize revenue here you have to deliver the airplane okay sometimes you might have to do it throughout the process we'll see each contract will be different that's what we have to look at now we're going to look at understand and apply the five-step revenue recognition process we're only going to look at one step and that's contract so what is a contract so let's let's start with contract because contract is as i said it's the foundation okay so the first thing is does the contract exist and what is the contract well a contract is an agreement between two or more parties that create enforceable rights or obligation the contract doesn't have to be written it can be written it can be oral or it can be implied from customary business practice written obviously you you know you have a contract on a piece of paper oral basically you agreed and implied basically based on business practices that's what we do for example if you go into a supermarket you pick up an item you walk to those uh self-check and you self-check yourself and you leave basically this is a contract there was a contract when you paid it's an implied contract from the customary business practice you did not sign a paper you did not talk to anyone but that's a contract okay so it doesn't have to be written keep that in mind okay but if there is no contract if there is no contract if there is no contract of any sort it means there's no revenue so when do we recognize the revenue at this point wait until we perform that's when we recognize the revenue okay so to have a valid contract okay company applies the revenue guidance to a contract according to the following criteria so for the contract to be a valid contract it has to have five criteria and those are the five criteria which we'll talk about kind of illustrate a little bit further the contract has to have commercial substance and maybe you learn about commercial substance and when you do a non-monetary exchange does the exchange has a commercial substance or not a commercial substance basically the contract cannot be ashamed transaction okay so this this is basically this is considered a protective clause and protective clause against what against inflating revenue oops let's go back here against inflating revenue so basically what we're saying when a company goes into a contract with another company but basically it's it's a backdoor deal i'm going to sell my product to you this quarter to inflate my revenue the next quarter i will buy it back or you buy my product well that's there's no really commercial substance in the contract okay so basically this is to kind of avoid uh that's also called round-trip transaction i sell it then i'll buy it back so the contract has to have commercial substance basically in other words it has to be an arm length there's a valid business reason for it this is what a commercial substance is okay the other thing is the parties has approved the contract in other words once they approve the contract they made a commitment then the contract is legally if you think about it once you make a commitment legally enforceable okay because think about it unapproved contract okay unapproved contract is not really a contract if there is a contract but it hasn't been approved by both parties because remember a contract has to be approved it's between two parties so both parties have to approve to a contract so an unapproved contract is not legally enforceable it's not a valid contract okay identifications of the right of the parties is established now this is this is this may uh uh this may sound stupid but you need to know what are your rights what is what is the service what goods or service you will be providing you need to you need to identify this identify the rights of the parties now also the parties have approved contract to uh number two i just want to go back and that include the uh approved contract also the approved contract what we need to look at too is there's any termination clause what is the termination clause termination clause is what if one party can cancel the contract with no penalties whatsoever they can walk away from the contract then really the contract is not enforceable okay because if you can walk away with no consequences then it's not really a contract okay uh so identify the rights basically you need to know what is the right of each party payment terms are identified notice they are identified basically they don't have you don't have to know exactly they don't have to be not fixed so you don't have to know exactly how much you're going to be getting but as long as you have enough information to um to basically determine the price to determine the price so as long as you can determine or estimate estimate the price then you have enough information to estimate the price then that's good enough then you have a price because a contract without a price there's it's not possible not it is possible but it's not really a valid it's not it's not a contract because you don't know how much you're going to be getting so what amount you're going to record on the books you don't know that you don't have to know exactly but you should have enough information that you can estimate or you can determine the uh the price of the contract okay and the fifth criteria then it's probable that the consideration will be will be collected that's important think about it if you don't think you're going to be collecting the money you don't think you're going to be collecting the money there's no contract whatsoever okay because why would you sell something or provide a service but there is no chance of collecting the money this is called a charity okay if that's what you are trying to do but the point is when do you determine that you're not going to be able to collect the money now if you can determine up front if you provide the service and you know up front that this customer there's really good chance that they're not gonna they're not going to pay you then you don't recognize revenue until cash is received so you would use the cash basis but but the problem is when do you determine this sometimes you don't know okay but you have to determine if it's probable that the consideration will be collected if it's probable then it's okay then we can move on and it's a valid contract okay but if it's not probable then uh then we have some sort of an issue here we have to determine if this is revenue or we have to wait until we receive the cash so those are the criterias for cash i'm sorry for for a valid contract to be a valid counter this is step one so identifying the contract with customer and let's work an example just to see uh how it works let's assume march first marjo margot company enters into a contract to transfer product to soon yoon on july 31st so this is when they enter into the contract to deliver on july 31st the contract is structures such that soon yoon is required to pay the full amount on august so they sign the contract in march they will deliver the product in july they will be paid in august the cost of the goods transferred is 3 000 and margo delivered the product on july 31st so we have an enforceable contract as march 31st let's assume that's the case excellent so if we go through the five steps we have an enforceable contract we assume it's an enforceable contract we assume it's a valid contract we have a price we know what we need to determine but we don't recognize revenue until when until let's go back here we don't recognize revenue until we deliver the product so revenue is recognized right here when the performance obligation is satisfied when when do i satisfy my performance obligation i didn't have a contract i didn't know my performance i did determine the price that's only one obligation then step five i recognize the revenue so i recognize the revenue when i perform which is july 31st i debit ar 5000 credit sales revenue debit cost of goods sold credit inventory now on a month later they'll pay me the cash a debit cash credit account receivable and this is basically a quick example of you have a contract a valid contract and this is how you go through the process okay the next step um let's see maybe let's work maybe just kind of one or two multiple choice question or some sort of a true false just to kind of um let's take a look at those true false maybe we'll go through let's go through those multiple choice questions so this way kind of just to kind of uh reinforce what we just learned because it's it's a new topic so as a student you would need to know you know just start to get your head wrapped around this so the new standard revenue from contract with customers adopts an expense liability approach on the as the basis for revenue recognition no it's an asset liability approach so this is false the revenue recognition principle states that revenue is recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied excellent yes that's exactly when you recognize revenue the first step the the first step of the five-step revenue recognition model is to identify the contract of course this is the foundation step contract with customer when a customer gives cash for a shirt at the retail store and takes the shirt from the store after paying revenue is recognized at the at that point in time because the performance obligation bus this by the store has been satisfied absolutely they gave you the shirt you paid them the money we're all good to go we're all good to go let's see if we can maybe also work a few multiple choice just to see okay let's work those three so the converge standard of on revenue recognition entitled revenue from from contract with customer was developed because because what gaap had only one basic standard now gap had too many get gaap had numerous related standards yes that's potential good good answer ifrs had numerous inconsistent standard now that's gaap gaap had more of a principal base now had rule base not principal base so b the new standard recognizes revenue based on again asset liability approach which of the following best describe the current revenue recognition principle identify separate performance obligation in the contract that's part of it but that's not that's not the revenue recognition principle recognize revenue in the accounting period when cash is received now this is the cash basis recognize revenue when earned no that's the old that's the old one recognize revenue in the accounting period when the performance obligation is satisfied yes that's the answer at the end of this recording i'm going to remind you again that i don't replace your cpa course i don't replace it i supplement i complement it if you're taking your accounting courses i can help you with that as well please like this recording share it if it's if it helped you it might help other people as well good luck and stay safe | Farhat Lectures.

[Plate i] THEL'S Motto, Does the Eagle know what is in the pit? Or wilt thou go ask the Mole: Can Wisdom be put in a silver rod? Or Love in a golden bowl? [Plate 1] THEL I The daughters of Mne Seraphim led round their sunny flocks. All but the youngest; she in paleness sought the secret air. To fade away like morning beauty from her mortal day: Down by the river of Adona her soft voice is heard: And thus her gentle lamentation falls like morning dew. O life of this our spring! why fades the lotus of the water? Why fade these children of the spring? born but to smile & fall. Ah! Thel is like a watry bow. and like a parting cloud. Like a reflection in a glass. like shadows in the water. Like dreams of infants. like a smile upon an infants face, Like the doves voice, like transient day, like music in the air; Ah! gentle may I lay me down, and gentle rest my head. And gentle sleep the sleep of death. and gentle hear the voice Of him that walketh in the garden in the evening time. The Lilly of the valley breathing in the humble grass Answer'd the lovely maid and said; I am a watry weed, And I am very small, and love to dwell in lowly vales; So weak, the gilded butterfly scarce perches on my head. Yet I am visited from heaven and he that smiles on all. Walks in the valley. and each morn over me spreads his hand Saying, rejoice thou humble grass, thou new-born lilly flower, Thou gentle maid of silent valleys. and of modest brooks; For thou shalt be clothed in light, and fed with morning manna: Till summers heat melts thee beside the fountains and the springs To flourish in eternal vales: then why should Thel complain, [Plate 2] Why should the mistress of the vales of Har, utter a sigh. She ceasd & smild in tears, then sat down in her silver shrine. Thel answerd. O thou little virgin of the peaceful valley. Giving to those that cannot crave, the voiceless, the o'ertired. Thy breath doth nourish the innocent lamb, he smells thy milky garments, He crops thy flowers. while thou sittest smiling in his face, Wiping his mild and meekin mouth from all contagious taints. Thy wine doth purify the golden honey, thy perfume, Which thou dost scatter on every little blade of grass that springs Revives the milked cow, & tames the fire-breathing steed. But Thel is like a faint cloud kindled at the rising sun: I vanish from my pearly throne, and who shall find my place. Queen of the vales the Lilly answerd, ask the tender cloud, And it shall tell thee why it glitters in the morning sky, And why it scatters its bright beauty thro' the humid air. Descend O little cloud & hover before the eyes of Thel. The Cloud descended, and the Lilly bowd her modest head: And went to mind her numerous charge among the verdant grass. [Plate 3] II. O little Cloud the virgin said, I charge thee tell to me, Why thou complainest not when in one hour thou fade away: Then we shall seek thee but not find; ah Thel is like to thee. I pass away. yet I complain, and no one hears my voice. The Cloud then shew'd his golden head & his bright form emerg'd, Hovering and glittering on the air before the face of Thel. O virgin know'st thou not. our steeds drink of the golden springs Where Luvah doth renew his horses: look'st thou on my youth, And fearest thou because I vanish and am seen no more. Nothing remains; O maid I tell thee, when I pass away, It is to tenfold life, to love, to peace, and raptures holy: Unseen descending, weigh my light wings upon balmy flowers; And court the fair eyed dew. to take me to her shining tent; The weeping virgin, trembling kneels before the risen sun, Till we arise link'd in a golden band, and never part; But walk united, bearing food to all our tender flowers Dost thou O little Cloud? I fear that I am not like thee; For I walk through the vales of Har. and smell the sweetest flowers; But I feed not the little flowers: I hear the warbling birds, But I feed not the warbling birds. they fly and seek their food; But Thel delights in these no more because I fade away, And all shall say, without a use this shining woman liv'd, Or did she only live. to be at death the food of worms. The Cloud reclind upon his airy throne and answer'd thus. Then if thou art the food of worms. O virgin of the skies, How great thy use. how great thy blessing; every thing that lives, Lives not alone, nor for itself: fear not and I will call The weak worm from its lowly bed, and thou shalt hear its voice. Come forth worm of the silent valley, to thy pensive queen. The helpless worm arose, and sat upon the Lillys leaf, And the bright Cloud saild on, to find his partner in the vale. [Plate 4] III. Then Thel astonish'd view'd the Worm upon its dewy bed. Art thou a Worm? image of weakness. art thou but a Worm? I see thee like an infant wrapped in the Lillys leaf: Ah weep not little voice, thou can'st not speak. but thou can'st weep; Is this a Worm? I see thee lay helpless & naked: weeping, And none to answer, none to cherish thee with mothers smiles. The Clod of Clay heard the Worms voice, & raisd her pitying head; She bowd over the weeping infant, and her life exhal'd In milky fondness, then on Thel she fix'd her humble eyes. O beauty of the vales of Har. we live not for ourselves, Thou seest me the meanest thing, and so I am indeed; My bosom of itself is cold. and of itself is dark, [Plate 5] But he that loves the lowly, pours his oil upon my head. And kisses me, and binds his nuptial bands around my breast. And says; Thou mother of my children, I have loved thee. And I have given thee a crown that none can take away But how this is sweet maid, I know not, and I cannot know, I ponder, and I cannot ponder; yet I live and love. The daughter of beauty wip'd her pitying tears with her white veil, And said. Alas! I knew not this, and therefore did I weep: That God would love a Worm I knew, and punish the evil foot That wilful, bruis'd its helpless form: but that he cherish'd it With milk and oil, I never knew; and therefore did I weep, And I complaind in the mild air, because I fade away, And lay me down in thy cold bed, and leave my shining lot. Queen of the vales, the matron Clay answerd; I heard thy sighs. And all thy moans flew o'er my roof. but I have call'd them down: Wilt thou O Queen enter my house. 'tis given thee to enter, And to return; fear nothing. enter with thy virgin feet. [Plate 6] IV. The eternal gates terrific porter lifted the northern bar: Thel enter'd in & saw the secrets of the land unknown; She saw the couches of the dead, & where the fibrous roots Of every heart on earth infixes deep its restless twists: A land of sorrows & of tears where never smile was seen. She wanderd in the land of clouds thro' valleys dark, listning Dolours & lamentations: waiting oft beside a dewy grave She stood in silence. listning to the voices of the ground, Till to her own grave plot she came, & there she sat down. And heard this voice of sorrow breathed from the hollow pit. Why cannot the Ear be closed to its own destruction? Or the glistning Eye to the poison of a smile! Why are Eyelids stord with arrows ready drawn, Where a thousand fighting men in ambush lie? Or an Eye of gifts & graces, show'ring fruits & coined gold! Why a Tongue impress'd with honey from every wind? Why an Ear, a whirlpool fierce to draw creations in? Why a Nostril wide inhaling terror trembling & affright. Why a tender curb upon the youthful burning boy! Why a little curtain of flesh on the bed of our desire? The Virgin started from her seat, & with a shriek. Fled back unhinderd till she came into the vales of Har The End | field o' moss | UCeuQMNXEub9KMZL4PYqyI9Q | 2022-08-11 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 1,466 | 7,710 |
H7xlWUcVWcc | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7xlWUcVWcc | Episode 86: Taxation: How the Government Funds Itself (with Daniel J. Mitchell) | Aaron Ross Powell: Welcome to Free Thoughts from Libertarianism.org and The Cato Institute. I’m Aaron Ross Powell, editor of Libertarianism.org and a research fellow here at The Cato Institute. Trevor Burrus: I’m Trevor Burrus, a research fellow at The Cato Institute’s Center for Constitutional Studies. Aaron Ross Powell: Joining us today is our colleague Dan Mitchell, Senior Fellow at The Cato Institute. America got its start in anger about taxes. So what would that founding generation think of our tax regime today? Daniel Mitchell: I would like to think that they would be very upset. It’s not just that government is so much bigger in doing so many things that are so contrary to the animating spirit of the American Revolution. But the income tax, the way we collect money, the intrusiveness, the nosiness, the way you have to lay your life bare to the IRS, I assume for a generation that had very, very small government, and what little government that did exist back then was financed by a few excise taxes and trade taxes, I would think they would be – they would go ballistic over the income tax. Trevor Burrus: Well, they didn’t even – what they actually did to the tax collectors, I find this to be fascinating when the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts – I mean they tore these people’s houses and they went to their – the mob got up, went to their houses, tore them apart by their hands, tarred and feathered people. Not condoning that, but how against taxes they actually were. But then the income tax comes – what year did the income tax come along? Daniel Mitchell: Well, we had an income tax during the Civil War. I think it lasted from 1862 to 1872. But that was always said to be temporary and it turned out to be temporary. We then had another income tax come in, in 1894. But that was ruled unconstitutional in 1895 and then we got the income tax amendment, the Sixteenth Amendment in the 1913 on a terrible, dark day. The income tax began. At least the modern version of the income tax began. Well, the top tax rate is seven percent, one two-page tax form, 14 pages of instructions and that has morphed into the monstrosity that we have today. Trevor Burrus: Yeah. What is that? Let’s talk about the monstrosity. What is the top tax rate? How many tax rates are there? Daniel Mitchell: How bad is it? Trevor Burrus: How bad is it? Daniel Mitchell: Well, probably the simplest thing to look at is it’s 75,000 and changed pages long. If you go to the IRS website, last time I checked, you could download about a thousand different forms and the number of tax rates which actually is a – almost a trivial issue in terms of the complexity of the tax code. The actual number of tax rates I think right now is seven. But that’s nothing compared to all the exclusions, deductions, credits exemptions, preferences. Those are the things that make the tax code the nightmare that it is today. Aaron Ross Powell: What’s motivating all that nightmare? So taxes can be very high, but they could be radically simpler than what we have now. I mean you want to collect a lot of money. You just write a one-page law that says we’re going to take X percent of whatever you earn. So all those exemptions and loopholes as they’re often called, are those there to raise more money or hide taxes or what’s the motivation behind all of this? Daniel Mitchell: I think the simple way to think about it is in 1913, we had this relatively simple introductory income tax and it was like a ship going out to sea. Well, 102 years later, there are layers upon layers of barnacles on that ship. In theory, episodes like the 1986 Tax Reform Act were designed to scrape the barnacles off the ship. Of course they only scraped off about maybe one-fourth of the barnacles and in some cases, they were the wrong barnacles because one thing to understand about all these different provisions of the tax code is sometimes the complicating provisions are designed to mitigate a penalty that shouldn’t exist. For instance you shouldn’t be double-taxed on income that is saved and invested. Well, I don’t know how many thousands of pages of the tax code are designed to things such as IRAs and 401(k)s but I’m glad those pages are there. Now what I would prefer to have is no pages because we wouldn’t have any double taxation of income that’s saved and invested. But some of these provisions are better than nothing, but of course many of the provisions are there to put in penalties, to put in loopholes that don’t have any justification and those exist because over decades, the different lobbyists that go to the Ways and Means Committee and the House and the Finance Committee and the Senate, they’ve succeeded in having provisions that benefit their clients. Maybe these are provisions that lower taxes but only for one very narrow group of people. Well, as a libertarian, I like it when government gets less money. But I don’t really like it if government gets less money just because someone hires a good lobbyist and gets some – gets the playing field tilted in their direction. Aaron Ross Powell: Is there also an attempt to social engineer via the tax code? Daniel Mitchell: Well, there’s certainly an attempt to social engineer in the sense of trying to control or steer behavior or bribe people into doing things that politicians like. So the charitable contributions, deduction and the tax code, well, don’t we all care about churches? Don’t we care about symphonies and ballets and art museums and the Salvation Army? Well, yeah. OK, we all care about those things. Well, do we need something in the tax code to bribe us? Well, only one-third of people roughly itemize on their tax returns, so obviously two-thirds of people who are giving to charity in this country are doing it even though they’re not getting a charitable deduction. So I think that a lot of the mess that’s there, people rationalize and decide after the fact. Well, oh, if we didn’t have this provision, nobody would buy a house or nobody would give to their local church. I think that’s nonsensical but it has in some sense been absorbed into the collection consciousness of tax people in Washington. Trevor Burrus: Now you mentioned the phrase “double taxation” which – can you clarify exactly what that means? Daniel Mitchell: Yeah. That’s very important economically but it’s a term that requires some explanation. In theory, what we should have is a tax system that doesn’t have any bias between income that you consume today and income you consume in the future. Now what’s income you consume in the future? It’s just a tax geek way of saying saving and investing. But right now in our tax code, if you consume your after-tax income today – because think about it this way. You earn income. You pay tax on your income and you have some after-tax income. What are you going to do with that? Well, there are really only two things you can do with it – consume it now or consume it in the future. Consuming in the future as I said is saving and investing. If you consume now, the federal government by and large leaves you alone. I mean if you fill up your tank with gas, there’s a federal excise tax. But other than a few little penny – anything like that, the federal government doesn’t tax you for consuming income right away. But if you consume your income in the future, we have all these examples of what are called “double taxation” between the corporate income tax, the capital gains tax, the double tax and dividends and the death tax. If you save and invest, you can be subject to as many as four different layers of tax that you don’t get hit with if you consume your income right away. So obviously there’s a huge bias against savings and investment in the tax code, a huge bias in favor of consumption. Why does this matter? Because every single economic theory, even the Marxists and the Socialists would agree that you have to have capital formation for economic growth. You have to set aside some of today’s income to finance tomorrow’s prosperity and yet our tax system treats people who do that almost like they were criminals. Aaron Ross Powell: You mentioned earlier though that we – often we tax things that we want less of and we give tax breaks on things we want to encourage. But it seems like saving and investing are things that unquestionably we want to encourage. So why are we taxing them more? Daniel Mitchell: Ah, that’s because who does the saving and investing? Those evil, bad, awful, rich people. When you have a tax system that is so driven politically at least by a lot of the class warfare discussions, well, we can’t get rid of the death tax because only rich people pay that. We can’t get rid of the capital gains tax because that’s for the rich. If you go through all the different debates and the discussions we’ve had about the various forms of double taxation in our country, it largely is driven by class warfare. The politicians want to collect a certain amount of money. Who’s the easiest target? Well, those evil, awful, bad, rich people. Aaron Ross Powell: I mean one of the common things we hear especially from people on the left is that the rich, because they can get accountants who know all of the loopholes or because they’re politically connected, are paying much less tax than they ought to and they’re certainly not paying their fair share. So [0:08:50] [Indiscernible] I mean we want the rich to pay their fair share, right? Daniel Mitchell: Well, from a libertarian perspective, the fair share was that the law should treat everyone equally. Well, what is it that’s [Indiscernible] about the Supreme Court equal justice under law? To me, that’s just a flat tax. Now of course as a libertarian, ultimately I would like to shrink the federal government. So we didn’t need any broad-based tax whatsoever. We got along just fine before 1913 without an income tax. But if we’re going to have an income tax, I do think it should treat everybody equally. When you look at the treatment of rich people, it’s a bizarre combination. The rich as defined by say the top 20 percent, top 10 percent, however you want to classify it, they do pay a disproportionate share of the tax burden. Now it depends are you measuring just the income tax. Are you measuring all taxes? But no matter how you slice it, the top 10 percent are paying way more than their share of income and they’re certainly paying a disproportionate share of the overall tax take and a huge share of just the income tax take. Now that being said, the definition of taxable income matters a lot because when you’re measuring income, what happens is a lot of rich people, if they want to, they can just go into their financial accounts on a computer. Within nanoseconds, they can change their entire investment portfolio to tax-free municipal bonds. The federal government does not tax municipal bonds. So you could be a billionaire and your federal income tax can be zero because all your investments are in municipal bonds. So that’s one of the costs of high tax rates. Go back say to the 1950s – Trevor Burrus: Is that why Warren Buffett paid a less rate than this secretary, that thing? That was going around, Warren Buffett. I paid a lower tax rate than my secretary. Is it because she was paying income tax and he probably wasn’t? Daniel Mitchell: No. In that case it was because Warren Buffett was bad at math. Actually, I don’t actually think he was bad at math. I think he was just willing to make a political point and prevaricate a little bit because what Warren Buffett wasn’t counting, he was looking at – back then, we had the 15 percent double tax on dividends and capital gains. Warren Buffett was saying, “Oh, look at this. I’m paying 15 percent and my secretary is paying –” whatever it was at the time, 25 or 28 percent and say, “Oh, my tax rate is lower.” Well, what Warren Buffett wasn’t including is the fact that that capital gains and dividend, that was already taxed 35 percent of the federal level, not to mention there was a 40 percent death tax waiting at the backend. So he was just being political and not being terribly honest. But rich people, if they want to – I thought you were going to give the example of Ross Perot. When he ran for president in 1992, he was saying, “Oh, my tax rate is very low.” Well, the reason his tax rates were very low, almost all his portfolio was municipal bonds. The same thing with Teresa Heinz Kerry. That came up a little bit in the 2004 campaign. So rich people, if they want to, can choose to pay zero tax or they can put their entire portfolio in what are called growth stocks. What are growth stocks? Those are ones that don’t pay dividends. Why would somebody buy a stock that doesn’t pay a dividend? Because they expect that the stock is going to rise in value. So it’s called a growth stock. Well, the one thing the federal government hasn’t figured out how to do yet is to tax unrealized capital gains. So if you’re a rich person, and you’re watching your fortune build up because you’ve bought stocks that are rising in value, until you sell those stocks, the government can’t impose any double taxation. So they’re not getting any revenue. So rich people, if they want to, if you push tax rates up to the levels we had in the 50s and 60s and 70s, they’re simply going to change their behavior in ways where the federal government doesn’t get any money. Trevor Burrus: Can you expand on that, on how – the data that we have about how rich people change their behavior in response to the tax rate? I know that has happened a lot in history. Daniel Mitchell: Well, I think the most persuasive data is from the 1980s. The IRS every year puts out something called the Statistics of Income Bulletin and if you’re a really wonky tax geek, it’s very fascinating reading. You can see by income levels how much different people earn. Not individual people but in terms of the aggregates. How much did people over a million dollars make? How much did people over $100,000 make? How much did people between $30,000 and $40,000 make? Not only that. You can see the sources of their income. Was it wage and salary income? Was it dividends, capital gains? You can see what deductions they took. How many people in different income classes took the home mortgage interest deduction? And so on and so forth. So it’s a wealth of data but the one thing I notice as I went back and I looked at that data for 1980 – because that’s when we had a top income tax rate of 70 percent. And you can look at the rich and that – traditionally at Washington, that gets defined as $200,000 or above. You look at the rich people in 1980 who were affected by the 70 percent top tax rate and you can see how much money they paid. The IRS collected about $19 billion from those people. By 1988, Reagan had lowered the top tax rate all the way down to 28 percent. A lot of our left wing friends said, “Oh, this is unfair. The rich won’t pay anything. The treasury is going to be starved of revenue.” Well, what does the Statistics of Income Bulletin from the IRS showed? Rich people, again, making more than $200,000 a year or above, in 1988 at a 28 percent tax rate paid five times as much money to the treasury. Now it’s not all because of the lower tax rate. Some of it was because of inflation, population growth. Who knows how many different factors were involved? But there’s no question. We had a steroid version of the Laffer curve going on in the 1980s because rich people decided, “Hey! At a 28 percent tax rate, I’m going to earn more income.” I’m going to – and this is critical. I’m going to report more income and the IRS wound up getting a lot more money. So if you want to soak the rich, keep tax rates reasonable so that they don’t have incentives to pile their money into municipal bonds and just do tax-motivated types of investing. Aaron Ross Powell: You mentioned the Laffer curve. Can you tell us what that is? Daniel Mitchell: The Laffer curve is simply the notion that if you have a zero percent tax rate, the government is not going to collect anything. If you have a 100 percent tax rate, well, guess what. The government is probably not going to collect anything because outside of – unless you’re maybe a genetic communist, that the government is going to steal every penny you make. You’re not going to make any money. So the notion of the Laffer curve – and by the way, even Paul Krugman would agree that there’s a Laffer curve. The whole debate on the Laffer curve is where – what’s the shape of the curve? In other words, somewhere between zero and 100 percent is a tax rate that will maximize revenue. Now by the way, I should stress I have zero interest in maximizing revenue for the government. I want the tax rates set at the growth maximizing point, which is going to be a very, very low rate, which is necessary to finance the few legitimate functions of the federal government. But the whole point is, is that the Laffer curve is simply an intuitive way telling people that hey, a hundred percent tax rate is going to be too high. Ninety percent too high, eighty percent too high. Maybe at 70 percent Paul Krugman raises his hand and says, “Oh yeah, I think that’s a good idea.” But most sensible people, you’re going to get down around 40, 30, 25 before they say, “OK, that’s where you maximize revenue in the long run,” and then people who actually care about freedom and liberty and economic growth are going to say, “Oh, but let’s go down to a tax rate of five percent or ten percent because that’s what’s going to maximize growth and freedom.” Trevor Burrus: Has that changed a lot in the sense that – the kind of tax rates we have had in the past, 90 percent I think before Kennedy took office and 70 percent before Reagan took office. Are those really discussed anymore? Have we kind of won the battle for over 50 percent tax rates being a good idea? Daniel Mitchell: I would like to say yes but at several times in my adult life, I thought we won the battle against Keynesian economics. But it’s like a Freddy Krueger movie. It comes out from the grave, whenever there’s a downturn and politicians have an excuse to spend money. On the notion of very high tax rates, let me give you an example of why I’m worried. This whole Thomas Piketty book, where he is explicitly arguing that you should have tax rates of 70, 80 percent and wealth taxes and death taxes and of course lots of double taxation on top of that. The Paul Krugman types of the world say before that – Obama has never been asked, “What do you think is the highest tax rate anybody should ever pay?” But I wouldn’t be surprised if in his heart of hearts he thinks it should be way up at that level, because for every question he has ever asked, it could be a question about, “What do you think of the sunny weather today?” he says the rich should pay more. I’m exaggerating but only slightly. So I do think that there are – on the left, we had made a lot of progress in the 1980s where they – we hadn’t won them over on the issue of double taxation but we had won them over on the issue of tax rates. So you had Bradley and Gephardt and other sort of reasonable centrist democrats. I mean even Bill Clinton sort of said, “Well, you don’t want tax rates to get up too high.” I’m not sure that Hilary Clinton or Barack Obama today would be able to pinpoint when tax rates get too high. Aaron Ross Powell: Just to clarify something. We talked about we have graduated income taxes. We’re talking about these really high rates, the 90 percent or the 70 percent. Do we mean like if there was the 90 percent tax rate in the past, that people making a lot of money paid a full 90 percent of everything that they earned? Daniel Mitchell: They paid 90 percent of their taxable income above wherever the income tax bracket kicked in. But they didn’t earn and report nearly as much taxable income. One of the reasons that Reagan supposedly became a supply-sider is that back when he was a movie star, he learned that if you made more than a certain number of movies a year, there was no benefit because there probably weren’t that many effective tax shelters when you were a movie star. So you get up to that 90 percent tax bracket. What’s the point? Aaron Ross Powell: We see that when professional athletes, free agents, will sign a – for a lower amount in a low tax state because it comes out to more than a much bigger contract in a higher tax state. Trevor Burrus: But is that something that people really do? Some people would be thinking, OK, look, you say – we talked 70 percent of your income above $300,000 a year. Well, if you’re a salaried employee, you don’t have the ability to stop working on whatever, November. Yeah, and just be like, well, the rest of my year is going to the federal government. So I’m going to go to Tahiti. That’s not how salaried employees work. So does that kind of dissuading actually come in for people who aren’t hourly employees or picking up work on … Aaron Ross Powell: Well, it’s not just that you would stop working. It’s that – I mean even at 90 percent, you’re still taking home 10 percent of that. So if your boss says, “Hey, I would like to give you a raise,” I mean even 10 percent of that raise getting kept is better than not taking the raise, right? Daniel Mitchell: This is something, when I first got involved in tax issues, I confess I wondered about too because I was getting my salary. OK. Well, if my tax rate goes up, I’m not going to be happy. What am I going to do? My tax rate goes down. I’m going to be happy. But it’s not like I’m going to type faster when I’m writing a paper about fiscal policy. But here’s the thing I eventually learned. The rich are not the same as the rest of us or at least not the same as me. Maybe you two are millionaires and you should be buying me dinner every night. But if you look at – again, that same IRS Statistics of Income Bulleting that I talked about, you look at that data and what you find is that rich people don’t rely on wage and salary income. For those making more than a million dollars every year, two-thirds of their income is from business and investments and when you get business and investment income, guess what. You do have a lot of control over the timing, level and composition of your income. So you can decide, OK, it’s November. I’m going to go to Tahiti. Now, I can’t decide that working for Cato, not to mention the fact that the people on the seventh floor might say, “Where’s Dan Mitchell?” But it doesn’t save me anything on taxes because OK, I got the salary and certain amounts being taken out by the IRS and I don’t have any flexibility. But if you’re one of these people making over a million – or heck, over $10 million, 81percent of your income – the last time I checked anyhow and I can’t imagine it would have changed – is from non-wage and salary sources. So you’re one of those people who can get on to your computer to your financial accounts and invest in municipal bonds. If you have business income, you have tremendous ability to accelerate and defer and then re-characterize and you can decide, OK, I’m going to take this pile of money and invest it rather than declare it as income, which by the way is a perfectly legitimate thing to do because if it’s being invested, it’s no longer income going to you but the point is that you have all the flexibility. So yes, you can respond in a very significant way to changes in tax policy and it really has a big effect on savings and investment decisions for the economy. Aaron Ross Powell: So far most of what we discussed has been stuff that’s bad for rich people. But does the tax code, the high level of taxes, those 75,000 pages, harm low-income Americans as well? Daniel Mitchell: Low-income Americans don’t really pay federal income tax. A matter of fact, they get a wage subsidy called the earned income credit through the federal income tax. So it’s like a negative tax for them. For lower middle income and middle income people, they’re by and large wage and salary people. So a lot of them can file like a 1040EZ. It’s not overly complicated for them. It probably does cost them stress and anxiety because even if you have a simple tax return, people just tend to get very nervous. Well, am I missing something? Is the IRS going to come after me? So even people like that will go to H&R Block or TurboTax or something like that just because they’re nervous about what the tax system holds for them. I would say the main reason that lower and middle income people are hurt by the tax code is not what’s happening to them in terms of their direct tax liability. It’s what’s happening to the economy in terms of long range economic growth. It seems like the economy grows three percent next year instead of two percent or two percent instead of three percent. We don’t think of that as being a big thing and actually if we’re planning on dying next year, it’s not a big thing. We probably wouldn’t notice the change to our living standards if the economy grew two versus three or three versus two. But when you go out a couple of decades and with the power of compounding, it makes an enormous difference. If the economy grows say one percent a year – let’s say you’re France or Italy. You’re growing one percent a year. It takes you 70 years to double your GDP. On the other hand, if you have 3.5 percent growth, which is what America almost averaged from much of our nation’s history, you double your GDP in 20 years. Now think about it from the perspective of a lower income person. You’re not comfortable. You have to work every day or at least five days a week. You can’t really afford to take a lot of breaks. If your economy is growing one percent a year, 20 years down the road, that’s an enormous difference versus an economy growing three or four percent a year. So I think we don’t appreciate how important economic growth is. I sometimes use examples of this. If you go back to 1964 – and this staggers people. I didn’t believe it when I first saw it. But I checked the numbers. You go back to 1964. Singapore and Jamaica had the same level of per capita GDP. Trevor Burrus: Singapore and Jamaica. Daniel Mitchell: Singapore and Jamaica. Trevor Burrus: Wow. Daniel Mitchell: And now Singapore is well above the United States and their per capital GDP is something like 15 times as high as Jamaica. Why? It’s simply the difference of compounding of five to six percent economic growth year after year versus one to two percent economic growth year after year. So when I think lower and middle income people and I think about the tax code, I think about the fact that we are shooting ourselves in the foot with high tax rates and double taxation and that’s slowing down our rate of growth. Even though in an advanced, mature, industrial economy like ours, it might only be the difference between 3.5 percent growth and 2.5 percent growth. In the long run, it adds up to a lot for people’s living standards. Trevor Burrus: Is that data pretty clear in the sense that – we look at a place like Scandinavia where there’s lower growth rates but higher taxes. I mean is it a pretty open-and-shut case that higher taxes kill growth rates and higher government spending is not good for growing the economy? Is that a pretty open-and-shut case? Daniel Mitchell: Well, I think it’s an open-and-shut case. But here’s the reality of it. If you look at the – say the Economic Freedom of the World index published by Fraser in conjunction with Cato and other think tanks around the world, you will notice that they have five major categories for what determines a nation’s prosperity. Fiscal policy is only one of them and it only counts 20 percent of your grade. You also have rule of law and property rights. You have trade policy, regulation policy and monetary policy. So if you’re Sweden or Denmark, you get a very bad score on fiscal policy. But you get a very high score on the other categories. As a matter of fact, countries like Denmark usually score above America on these non-fiscal policy measures. So I think that Sweden and Denmark and some of these other Nordic nations, I think they’re hurting themselves with high tax rates and a big welfare state. But they tend to be very free market in other areas. Now it’s still hurting them. If you go back to 1970, Sweden was one of the richest countries in the world, in the top five. Maybe in some cases top 10, depending on who’s doing the measuring. Well now Sweden has dropped about 15 places, not because they’re poor today than they were in 1970 but because they’ve been growing two percent a year and other countries have – like Hong Kong and Singapore five to six percent a year. But other countries, say three to four percent a year. So you will slowly fall behind other countries once you adopt the big government, the high taxes, the welfare state. Now I will say at least Sweden and Denmark did it right. They did the wrong thing in the right way. They got rich first when government was small and then they adopted the welfare state. Now if you’re already rich and you adopt the welfare state and you start growing only one to two percent a year, compared to three to four percent a year, well, you’re a rich country. It’s still nice to live in Sweden and Denmark. They’re very civilized places. They have actually better rule of law and property rights than we have in America. It might get a little bit cold in the winter but no one is going to complain about living in Sweden and Denmark if your other choice is to live in Paraguay or Botswana. Trevor Burrus: You mentioned previously – I think it was related to this or it might be just an entirely different topic. In terms of growth and you mentioned the corporate tax rate, which you called “double taxation”. So now as we hear about the corporate tax rate being either extremely high for America, which is bad for growth – one of the highest in the world, if not the highest in the world. Other people have argued that the corporate tax rate maybe shouldn’t even exist at all. How does that – what is your take on corporate taxation? Daniel Mitchell: Well, the bad news is that we do have the highest corporate tax rate in the world. Trevor Burrus: That’s taxing the profits of corporation. Daniel Mitchell: Taxing the profits of corporation. Some people sometimes say, “Well, no, no, it’s really the United Arab Emirates.” But that’s a tax only – it’s only a severance tax on oil companies. If you have a – some regular company, there’s zero percent corporate income tax. So we have the highest corporate income tax in the world. We used to be second but Japan lowered their rate. That’s a bad thing unquestionably because corporations are mobile. Corporate investment, business investment, it can cross borders relatively simply. But then of course we compound the damage of the high corporate tax rate because we then double tax dividends and capital gains and of course I already mentioned we have the death tax on top of that. Now, having said that, assuming you have an income tax, I do think business income should be taxed. But I think it should be taxed only one time. So you can make a choice. Well, do you tax that income one time at the level of the company or do you follow it to shareholders and tax it one time at the level of the shareholder? Administratively speaking, it’s easier to tax the company rather than track down in some cases hundreds of thousands of shareholders. But you could do it either way. But don’t do it both ways and whatever way you choose to do it, have the rate be competitive and low. Aaron Ross Powell: While we’re on the topic of corporations who can move, can shift to countries that have lower taxes, one of the things you’ve written about in the past is tax competition. Daniel Mitchell: Tax competition is simply the notion that especially in a globalized economy, labor and capital, jobs and investment can cross national borders. I think this really kicked off in a big way back about 1980 when Reagan and Thatcher cut individual income tax rates. You saw a change in global investment and migration patterns. But then it really began to also take effect on corporate taxes where Ireland deserves a lot of credit. They used to have a corporate tax rate way up at 50 percent. Then they lowered it to this bifurcated 30 and 10 system. The European Union said, “Oh, that’s unfair to have a bifurcated system.” So Ireland sort of stuck a finger in their eye and said, “OK. We will just have one low rate for everything of 12.5 percent.” You saw big benefits for Ireland with that and other countries were forced not only to lower their individual income tax rates because of Reagan and Thatcher, but they were forced to lower their corporate income tax rates because of Ireland and then heck, it’s even applied to things like dividend taxes and capital gains taxes. Because if you’re a well-to-do investor in Europe and you’re being taxed at very high rates and being double taxed, what are you going to do? You’re going to move your investments to Switzerland or Luxembourg or Miami or Cayman or something like that. So countries had to lower their double taxation. A lot of countries got rid of their wealth taxes, the death taxes. Heck, the richest person in Sweden had moved to Switzerland, the head of IKEA, the founder of IKEA. And guess what. Sweden recently got rid of their death tax and wealth tax. He moved back. So that’s just an example with one person where it makes a difference in terms of what your tax policy is. So I think tax competition is a very important liberalizing force in the global economy because it sort of handcuffs politicians. It tells them you may want to rape and pillage rich people but guess what. The geese that laid the golden eggs can fly away if you’re mistreating them too much. I think what we saw from 1980 until about end of last decade was a very positive cycle of tax competition. What worries me now is operating through international bureaucracies like the OECD. High tax governments have gotten together to try to constrain tax competition. They want to create something akin to an OPEC for politicians. Trevor Burrus: I’ve heard you often say that one of the most important characteristics of a tax code is that it’s neutral. What do you mean by it being neutral? Daniel Mitchell: Well, I suppose I should first say there’s no such thing as a neutral tax code because if you’re going to tax people for earning income, you’re obviously changing the tradeoff between labor and leisure. That being said, you should minimize the distortions in the tax code so that you are as close to neutral as possible. Now we already talked about double taxation. Well, what’s that about? It’s about creating neutrality between income that’s consumed today and income that’s consumed in the future. That’s why you want to get rid of double taxation on saving and investing. But you also want neutrality in the sense that you don’t want politicians saying, “OK, if you earn money as a carpenter, you have zero tax. If you earn money as a plumber, you get taxed 50 percent.” Trevor Burrus: We have way too many carpenters then. Daniel Mitchell: That’s a hypothetical example of a distortion. But in that 75,000-page tax code, we have lots of real world examples of distortions. Sometimes these distortions are very technical, dealing with the so-called depreciation schedule for one type of business investment versus another type of business investment. Sometimes it’s distortion as I said in the form of double taxation. Sometimes it’s – well, actually, one of the worst and biggest distortions and absence of neutrality in the tax code is the healthcare exclusion. If you had Michael Cannon or Mike Tanner here, they would wax poetic about how this causes a third party payment – payer problem because people have this artificial incentive to get as much of their compensation as possible in the form of tax-free fringe benefits. That has messed up the healthcare system in addition of course to Medicare and Medicaid and other government interventions. But you want neutrality because you want – if you want growth and prosperity, you want people making decisions on the basis of what makes economic sense, not on the basis of what minimizes their tax bill. But if you have high tax rates at a complicated system, guess what. That’s what people are going to focus on, at least to some degree. Aaron Ross Powell: Would a flat tax be better than what we have now? Daniel Mitchell: It would be infinitely better than we have right now because everyone thinks the flat tax is about having a low rate and yes, that’s part of it. But really the biggest part of the flat tax is neutrality because it gets rid of not only all the double taxation. But it also gets rid of all the loopholes, preferences, deductions, credits, exemptions and so on and so forth. So obviously if you have some type of income tax with a rate above zero, it’s not going to be perfectly neutral. But for whatever amount of money the government is going to raise, the flat tax does it in the least damaging, least distortionary, most neutral way possible, which of course is why politicians don’t like it because they like having that power. I mean the whole reason politicians spend their lives in Congress trying to get on the Ways and Means and Finance Committees is because you don’t even have to hold fundraisers. Lobbyists come up where they throw checks at you. PACS [0:34:29] [Phonetic] seek you out to give you money, whereas if you’re on the post office and Civil Service Committee, nobody cares about you. Well, the reason that those tax rating committees are so powerful is because we have this complicated but very important, very intrusive, 75,000-page tax code. You get rid of that, replace it with a flat tax and guess what. Ways and Means and Finance turn it to harmless oversight committees. Trevor Burrus: I’ve heard too sometimes libertarians talk about – economists in general but a consumption tax would be better. What is a consumption tax and would that be better than an income tax? Daniel Mitchell: A consumption tax is simply any tax system that doesn’t double tax savings and investment. Now normally we think a consumption tax is something that you pay at the cash register, like a national sales tax. Well, that is a consumption tax because there’s no double taxation. A value-added tax, you don’t pay it at the cash register. It’s paid at each stage of the production process but it’s the consumption tax. Why? Because there’s no double taxation. The flat tax is a consumption tax. Why? Well, it has sort of a vaguely similar approach to our current tax system that you file an annual tax return to be a postcard instead of a thousand different forms. But it’s the consumption tax because there’s no double taxation. So what a consumption tax really means – because that’s a public finance term. What it really means is simply a tax system where income is taxed only one time. Now why is that consumption? Because over your life cycle, the amount you earn tends to be the amount that you spend. So it’s a consumption tax. Now some people say, “Well, hold on a second. What if you leave some money to your kids?” Well, your kids are going to consume that. So at some point, any income you earn is going to get consumed and if you tax that income only one time, you’re taxing consumption one time. Aaron Ross Powell: Among the consumption, the kinds of consumption taxes, what do you think of a national sales tax or a value-added tax? Daniel Mitchell: If – this is a giant “if”. If we could take the Sixteenth Amendment, repeal it, and replace it with something so ironclad that even Ruth Bader Ginsburg and John Roberts couldn’t decide an income tax was ever constitutional again, yes. A national sales tax or a value-added tax would be better than our current system just like a flat tax is better than our current system. They’re all in theory low rate, neutral, no-double taxation tax systems. The reason I tend to be especially suspicious of a value-added tax is because most politicians who talk about the VAT, they’re talking about adding it on top of the income tax. Well, what do you get there? You simply give the government more money to spend. I think that’s one of the reasons why when Europe adopted the VATs in the late 60s, early 70s, I think it led to an expansion in the size of government. I’m very glad we don’t have a VAT because I suspect our politicians would do the same thing. Trevor Burrus: Do you see that’s a real possibility though? Does that come up in a serious way? Is it something you fear on having a VAT within 20 years, 30 years? Daniel Mitchell: I view that as the Armageddon battle of fiscal policy and I do think it will take place sometime soon. As a matter of fact, I’m actually afraid it’s more likely to come about when Republicans are in office because if you’re a Republican especially if you sort of tend to be a big government Republican, you’re looking at the corporate income tax and you’re looking at our current income tax. You have some vague understanding. Boy, this system is kind of anti-growth. But you’re also thinking because you’re not a committed small government person. Well, we do need to raise more money because we have all this Medicaid and Medicare and ObamaCare and social security spending and the baby boom generation retiring. So boy, we want to raise more money but we don’t want to do it with this tax system that we already have that’s very bad for growth. So let’s put in this other tax system because somewhere I thought I heard somebody telling me that consumption taxes aren’t as bad for growth. OK. That’s right. They’re not as bad for growth. But that doesn’t mean that they’re good for growth. They’re just not as bad for growth. When you add them on top of a system that’s already very anti-growth, well, then you become France. Aaron Ross Powell: It seems like a national sales tax or value-added tax would be particularly harmful to lower income Americans though because right now, they’re not paying much of anything in federal income tax. But they also spend a huge chunk of their income on retail goods, on food, on various things that would suddenly cost a lot more whether they’re paying a higher sales tax or the cost was baked into the retail price. Daniel Mitchell: Yeah, that unfortunately is why democrats have been a little bit hesitant about pushing a VAT. I mean I think most democrats at the end of the day will want the VAT because they’re going to want to – they’re not going to want to reform entitlements and something is going to have to give. So they will decide, OK, let’s get this new source of revenue. But they’re reluctant or at least they express reluctance because they say they don’t want poor people and lower middle income people being subject to tax. Now, the people who propose the national sales tax as a replacement for the income tax and those are people I actually view as allies, they have something called a “prebate”. Now it’s called a “prebate” because the government would send a check to households once a month based on projected sales tax revenue on spending up to the poverty line. That would in effect be sort of like the family-based allowance that we have in the current system or the family-based allowance that’s in the flat tax. So everyone gets to earn a certain amount of money to keep hearth and home together before taxes kick in. If you have a national sales tax, you can only really do it through a prebate system. Under a value-added tax system in Europe, they don’t really have anything to protect low income people. So if you’re one of these – in one of these countries like Denmark or Sweden, where the value-added tax is 25 percent, it’s hidden from you. You don’t know you’re paying that much because you never see it on a sales register, a receipt or anything like that. But boy, does that have a negative effect on living standards for everybody, but of course it’s especially hard-hitting for people with low incomes. Trevor Burrus: So what does the ideal tax policy look like then? A lot of these that we’ve thrown out, it needs to be neutral and not double taxation. And other than not wanting that much taxation and in terms of policy, what is the best way to run any size of government with taxation? Daniel Mitchell: Well, as I said, in my fantasy world, we have the central government back where the founding fathers envisioned, where you don’t need any broad-based tax, whatsoever. But my fantasies usually don’t come true, I’m sad to say. So if we have anything even approaching the current government we have now or God forbid the Leviathan that’s sort of baked into the cake because of poorly-designed entitlements and demographic change, some sort of lowest possible rate, consumption-based tax is the least damaging way of raising any particular amount of money you’re trying to raise. Now obviously if you have a government like France that’s consuming 57 percent of GDP, that’s still going to be a very damaging tax system. On the other hand, if you’re Hong Kong and your government is consuming 18 percent of GDP, well, then you can probably raise money without having it – have too much of a negative effect on growth. Trevor Burrus: So you would be looking to the lowest one where you’re balancing the budget [0:41:37] [Indiscernible] revenues over time even if it’s 57 percent of GDP. But that’s still going to hurt growth, as you were saying. Like that – to balance those revenues would be – would still hurt growth. Daniel Mitchell: Yes. Well, for several reasons, first of all, government spending in it of itself hurts growth because you’re diverting resources from the productive sector of the economy and usually when governments are spending money, they’re doing things like subsidizing people for not working. So a lot of government spending – maybe not physical as human capital spending. The economic evidence on that tends to be more mixed but transferring consumption spending as public finance economists categorize these things, those types of outlays definitely have a negative effect on the economy, even if tax revenues sort of floated down from heaven. You didn’t have to have a tax code. That type of government spending would still be bad for growth. But then in the real world, because money doesn’t float down from heaven, at least not that – it has never come into my pockets, when you have a tax code, well, it’s simply a question of how much damage you’re doing on top of the damage caused by the government spending. If you have the lowest possible rate, consumption-based tax – and of course in France it would still be a very high rate. But if you try to raise revenue in the least damaging way, well then the additional damage on top of the damage caused by the government spending is going to be X whereas if you raise your tax system with a class warfare tax code with lots of double taxation, then the economic damage might be 3X or 4X. Trevor Burrus: In 1986, we had this – we mentioned a couple of times. We had a very good reform that turned – I think it was like 14 tax brackets into 2 basically, right? Twenty-eight percent and 14 percent is the top rate. Now, it has been creeping up in different ways with George H.W. Bush and now we’re sitting at about 39 percent or so. We have books like the Piketty book and we have national debt of substantial size and we have this idea of a coming social security entitlements crisis and like a loss of the consensus possibly that low taxes are good and always more and more spending, the possibility of a VAT. So are you – what are you going to see? What are we going to see in the next 10, 20 years? Are you expecting a real push for higher taxes because of the – where the left is moving, a real push from a revenue where all these things is – is it going to get worse before it gets better? Aaron Ross Powell: Or is it just going to keep getting worse? Trevor Burrus: Yeah. Daniel Mitchell: Well, if I had to bet money, I think it will keep getting worse. Like a lot of libertarians, I tend to sometimes be dour and pessimistic about – because you just look at the public choice incentives of politicians to make government bigger and bigger. But on an operational day to day basis, I try to be optimistic because I do think there is still a streak of independence and libertarian type thinking among the American people. You look at these cross-country polls where they ask people, “Is it government’s responsibility to give you a job, a house?” and so on and so forth. Americans do answer those questions in a much more favorable way to liberty than say Europeans will answer those questions. So I do think that it’s not hopeless and I come to work every day at CATO because I think the fight is very much worth having and I think it is possible to win. But winning that battle means we have to at some point reform the entitlement programs. We have to at some point figure out how to decentralize programs back to the state and local governments because they don’t belong in Washington and we’re never going to achieve these spending reforms if politicians think there’s new revenue coming to Washington. That’s why fighting the value-added tax – I referred to it earlier as an Armageddon battle. I really think it’s an Armageddon battle because if the other side gets a VAT, then not only will I sort of have the usual libertarian pessimism about corrupt politicians, big spending politicians. But then I will think, oh my god, we’ve just given these alcoholics the keys to the liquor store. At that point, OK, well, let’s see. Do I move to Australia? Estonia? Cayman Islands? What could I do? Because I would really, really be pessimistic at that point. Here’s the little – the dirty little secret about fiscal policy and taxes. Behind closed doors, I think a lot of leftist politicians actually understand you can’t raise that much money with class warfare taxes. They talk about it. They demagogue about it, but they understand to some degree that if you put in place these 1970s style tax rates of 70 percent or going back to the 1950s, 90 percent, they know people are going to change their behavior. So if they want to finance the giant welfare state, that’s sort of baked into the cake, they better come up with a VAT. But it doesn’t mean they won’t also try to increase other tax rates as well. But they know on the other side that a VAT is the only way we can have a European-sized government in the US. Aaron Ross Powell: Thank you for listening.

2mCw0RkAeVc | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mCw0RkAeVc | What's New in Windows XP/Whistler Build 2267 Part 2 - It's All New to Me | let's kick it hello and welcome to part two of what's new in 2267. if you haven't seen part one yet then i'm sure there's a link to it over here somewhere damn mistaken in this part we'll be looking at the system restores actual restoration which is new for this build as well as the first difference between personal and professional builds so let's get on with it another thing that's actually new in this build and not a bug is system restart actually restoring things i said in the last build that it comes in this build and it does and so i will show you if we open up a command prompt to get regs732 because remember we have to do this because it doesn't do itself and it succeeds and then we go to it's called what it's called i see west point that's the one c script and if you try running the scripting thing from the last build you can see that it says it could not locate off could not locate automaton class named srclient.systemrestore now even though we registered the client dll it didn't quite work and if we go to the registry again we can see that if we look under here there is no such thing as sr client if we get down there nope there's no such thing as uh but i wasn't one of my strong points there you go a bit between those two and it's not there so what gives well in this build instead of the scripting interface which they built up for the last build they completely jumped all that stuff and they went to a wmi derived interface for reasons unbeknownst to anybody but definitely weren't written in c plus plus cause that's a hell of a thing to do from c plus plus wmi so yeah if we open up webm test then you want root slash default and you can open up the class they made it's not system client system restart and you can see all the features of their class author attributes that's from after actually it's got a name a number a time and a time so it's pretty much all the stuff that was in the script interface it's just now within a wmi interface and it's also a method you can create a restart point disable system restore and enable system restore unfortunately to manipulate these you need instances which are obviously entries of system restart but if you click on the instance instances button you get a provider load failure so even though it's now a wmi interface it's a broken wmi interface and you can't use it so they took it from something which worked to something which doesn't quite so yeah that's a bit of a downer but something i did notice is that if you go to no actually not not first i'll show you this first if you go to windows and it's in system32 in restart there's actually a google which will do the system rooster for you it's not just a file list now there's all this other stuff in here and if you click on this rst rui then you'll notice that nothing happens you can click on all you want and nothing happens now that is because by default system restores restorability is disabled again i don't know why that is maybe they were just afraid of testing it yeah i'm not quite up to testing it yet but you can create restart points now if you will actually you can't can you because it doesn't work so there's no way to create well you can you can use the c interface you can use the c interface to create restart points but you can't actually restart them yet until you go to here we are yeah as you can see there's this entry here called disabled restart in hklm software microsoft windows nt current version system restart and it's set to one disable restart set to one so if you set that to zero that doesn't just enable that tool from working which it does as you can see it's the windows me tool which hasn't been redesigned or anything i'll come back to that a bit later on anyway what you what it also opens up is if you go to computer and properties and you wait a little bit we now have a new tab up here and it's the system restart tab system restart tab now you can obviously turn it on and off and you can select how much disk space it uses now there's a minimum here of 200 megabytes and it only goes down to 50 but if you really wanted to change it it's set to you this percent which is 12 and 12 of 2 gigabytes must be that's not right well anyway whatever the maximum is 400 megabytes for some reason and it's set to maximum but you can set it to what you like or disable it yeah so anyway with all that setup you can now run this tool and it will either restore your computer or it will create a restart point so why not let's create one why not start point description my wrist point because imagination is not one of my strong points and there we go that was quite quick it created one now if you want to restart a restart point i can't remember if this is how it works in xp or not because i only used it once twice but yeah if you restart it and then what it does is restart your computer and then when it logs back on it should have restored the things so we'll wait for that to happen and when you log back in you get this restart incomplete things i don't know if it should say incomplete or success if there's nothing to back up or nothing to restore anyway but anyway it says it cannot be restored and no changes have been made and then that's it so i'm not really sure if that should be a failure or not but anyway one thing you can't do from this thing which we couldn't do from the scripting interface and we can't do from the wmi interface is actually delete a restart point there's pretty much no way no google way to delete a restart point at least i don't think there is this um tool does actually import the function to delete a restart point but i don't exactly know how to do it because right clicking on these doesn't do anything neither does double clicking so there's no menu to be involved delete key doesn't do anything so i'm not really sure how but anyway yeah this tool is straight from windows me so there's nothing really interesting about the tool but from the fact that it's disabled by default by that register key now the stuff it backs up is no longer in a restart folder there's no longer in the restart folder hitting restart folder under here is now in system volume information now by default if you try clicking on that you will be able to get in because users don't have the security to get in there it's just system so what you need to do is add a key for your user or users in general then you can get access now these aren't i don't think these are yeah that's up to everyone i think so you get any and then you can see there's actually quite a number of restart points and i don't know where they all came from i haven't run it that many times but yeah they all the same things in as they did in the last build critically named resources that one didn't have anything in it as you can see so yeah this is that's the restart point functionality that's you see the first one there's got quite a lot of stuff in it and i was messing around with it let's just do a test of that tool to see if it will restart back to the earliest restart points that should be a good test of it i've created a snapshot in the virtual machine so that shouldn't be a problem now i think that was one of the reasons i was holding off doing it because i slipped my mind i could do that because i didn't want to destroy all the stuff that i've done so anyway yeah let's pick the first one and that'll be there and that's the first one so let's give it a go and here's the moment of truth and it hasn't worked so now we know why it's disabled because it doesn't work in the interest of fairness to command line options there's a new thing from the command line and you can now run a program called shutdown and that obviously shuts down the computer or a remote computer and it can take a timeout so you can say it's a shutdown in a while excited to shut down right now but yeah that's new in this build the shutdown tool so now you don't have to when you run a batch script you'd have to get the user to manually run shutdown you can just type in shutdown in your batch script and it will shut down the computer yeah another weird thing that i found is in nature and that is uh then we don't tell you there's not about there but it's literally a shell for network interface operations and stuff like that i don't know i don't really use it but that's pretty much what is and the weird thing is if you type in when i find in my notes if you type in set file and then the options command you at the top of it it prints out this weird text here it says original shelder rc number four there's sheldon rc number five yours sheldon rc now this is static in the resources so this isn't dynamically generated like it's not a version of something or other that's just static text that somebody wrote in the resources and this end bit as well yeah as we can see in the last build it wasn't there at all you can see there's no thing along the top there so that was added to this build for some unknown reason and its purpose is unknown so it's just one big unknown i feel like donald rumsfeld here a more substantial new thing in this build is in the key manager i may remember this from a couple of videos ago where i logged onto a network share and it saved the key in here yep well this now has some the dll that implements this has some new functionality it's not in this you can't get to it from here so what am i on about well you'll see in a minute if i type in sure pass wizarding that's not what i called it my notes are wrong because that's not my god and what is is now you can back up your password and it says back up your password it's not really a password backup it's more if it says it's more of a key to unlock your account if you forget your password so because if you do this then you change your password you can still use this um information that you save and i i think that's how it works anyway so there we go type in my password and you press next and it does a little bit of a bit of computation and then you can save these psw files so i'll just call it pass and it tells you whoa you should really put this on a floppy disk so you can take it somewhere or a usb thing but you haven't done that do you want to do it you want to save it on the disk and you can go yep obviously if you save it on the hard drive then whoever else uses the computer can just nick your key and log into your password log into your password log into your account so that's not a very nice thing to do but yeah it went there's a backup password and as you'd expect there's a reciprocal to that that's replace the password and it says it can use your special key file to replace the password so then what you have to do is find the file it served and then you type in a new password this can be the same as the current one in this case but if you'd lost it obviously you wouldn't have a current one because you wouldn't know what it was and it says the password has been replaced and you're all sorted so yeah some new functionality new functionality in the credential manager which is what is now called another keyring the surprises in the credential manager keymanager.dll don't end there though there's a little fun thing in the resources it's actually an a wow icon yeah you know wow yeah yeah you've probably all played it and when i find out which one it is it's 300 i told you you wasn't expecting that wait but yeah it's not actually a wow icon it's just a little icon that says wow what if i make it a bit bigger you can if i see it's there's a wow on a gray background with a pink slash magenta background for that yeah like i said it's not used in the dll as you'd expect because they wouldn't show something like that on the ui god forbid windows had any personality but yeah that's not sure and it exists in there for some unknown reason like i said it's not used in the code so you wouldn't see it otherwise now 2267 brings the first major distinction between their personal and professional builds it's not really anything you it's not something you'd see on a regular basis but if you run no it's not yes go to mmc and then you've got i'd remove snapping use when your mouse is answered up you've got to add and then local users and groups and you can add that and you can select it and open it and play with it and everything's fine right yeah well this is the professional build if we go to the personal build aka the professional build after i've done my little trick and you try and do the same then you now get this dialogue it says this computer is running windows personnel this snap in may not be used with that version of windows to manage user accounts on this computer use the user accounts tool in the control panel so as of 2267 you can no longer run the local users and groups snapping from mmc on your computer now i don't know precisely why that is it seems to be like a moronic thing to disallow access to considering you know it's just out of the way i think that really um personal computer users aren't really they're not really going to be using that i mean how many home computers even though oh yeah i need to just take a trip into mmc and look at some not many so yeah that's one of the main differences mostly apart from the text on the desktop between the personal and professional builds another thing which doesn't work in this build that used to work is fast user switching and if you try and log off it just says actually i want to log off and that's because the registry value you need to enable it allow multiple ts sessions value defaults to zero now you can set it to one and then you can switch user but then if you log on to any account also this doesn't happen in the keyboard now doesn't kill doesn't get the blue screen so that works for that let's see if you refresh it now it goes back to zero so every time anybody logs on it gets reset to zero so it's quite hardcorded now that you can't actually do that and have multiple ts sessions on the same computer so even though this is the professional version if you want of the operating system you can't actually have fast user switching so that's something you could do that you can't do which you will be able to do again sometime in the future another thing that i don't really want to swallow too much is there's some changes to the way cd burning is or not performed but if you just get to the cd drive now and try and paste some files to it and it's not a writable drive you now get this error box error message box says that you can't copy it because these files are read only you idioms so then what you do is obviously if you enable recording on this drive now there's a different way to do it in this build instead of the drive number under the explorer key instead of cd recorder drive here with a number of the drive letter so like zero is a one is b and so on now you it's a separate key for cd burning and under there you have to add the volume id of the cd drive which in this case is well as you can see another good and what you need to do to that is add a supported key underneath it and that will make it show up in the ui nicely then you can enable it and then as you can see there's already some files that i've pasted onto it and now you can actually paste onto it as well and what you can do now i can actually show you is what happens when you write to a cd and you see it brings up this progress dialogue it says initializes and initializing see the image file and that's the imap file it's in the c drive it's a model dialogue so i can show you the file right now yep and it says the disk is full please insert this with more free space and try again yeah like i said this is only a read-only virtual box drive so i can actually run through the whole sequence of it but it's pretty much just it pretty much just be the progress bar ticking up after the last build where notepad got a slight lack of pain another inbox utilities decided he wanted one too and he was the registry editor now he already had a status bar on the bottom and it was a bit useful so they couldn't do that so instead they gave him the ability to load and unload registry hives now a registry hive is pretty much just a binary blob of registry data it's unlike these normal ridge files which are text files it's a collection of binary data so you can't really edit it yourself but what you can do now is load it into regedit and then edit it from there and then if you unload it after you've edited it it will save the changes into the file where you originally had it stored so if we load the registry hive which is created after the first stage of setup because you can't do it on the software and security files because they're in use by the registry obviously so if we use software.sav which as i said is the one created after the first stage of setup and then it's not really used again so we can use that one so if we open up that and find it again it gives you you can put in a key name so it's um backup for instance then you now get a new key under hk local machine and that's back up and as you can see it's a standard software key which you get now if you made any changes to that and then you went file unload hive then it would reflect all the changes you made back into the register file and then obviously you could do whatever you want to do with it and load it back up again and leave a computer which is probably what it's used for to edit things for other computers because there's no real obviously these are already loaded the default ones so you don't need to edit it anyway yeah so what else he can do he didn't also didn't just get the ability to do that if you look through these um the hardware keys and gets this red resource list values you don't normally see these in the normal register but if you'll go down the hardware key you do and then you now get these this little dialogue and it says it's about these are kernel side resources actually physical resources on your computer so not virtual memory it's like things like interrupts and parts and stuff like that as you can see here this is interrupted 12 level 12 and it's a latched interrupt that's the resource that's available on this computer well this virtual machine that nobody's claimed so yes you can do that for reg resource list values you can also do it for if i find the right one no it's description that's one i think i just planned this advancement there you go if you get to these full resource descriptors you just get them straight away you get them but that's not that's an empty one so there's nothing there to actually see and what you can also do now in rigidity is if you go to view there's a new display binary data option and that just lets you look at the binary data of any type of value rather than just reg binary and you can you can't edit it from there i don't think no you have to right click on it and go to modifybinder editor to edit it like that so yeah regedit got a few new options there's another thing in this build which has been bubbling for several builds now but only finally it makes it to the surface and that looks like its final xp operation is this now in the executable shortcut properties in the advanced dialog that you can now select run as a different user and when you do that you get a new item on the shortcut menu which is run as and that's now the default option so if you just click on the shortcut you'll get this which again looks like it does in final xp and we now have a new chat box which means you can run it as yourself but under a protected well in a protected form and this is basically the restricted tokens of the user token so it's like a primitive form of uac and it's been bubbling for several releases because this is based on the safe technology so good luck googling that putting safer windows into google yeah so it's safer technologies it's a bunch of apis to do with cod behaving well basically and anyway it says this might cause the program to function in properly which would aim properly with an m but it's not but anyway it says function improperly and that's because if you try and run it it doesn't work it says a required privilege is not held by the client now i don't know what privilege that is or why it's required but if you set that on any pretty much any executable shortcut it will say that so it's not quite ready for prime time just yet because it doesn't quite work by default like many of the previous builds there's also some weirdness going on with the resources in some dlls in this version now specifically we're looking at the cert manager dll which is the certificate manager and within it amongst the new resources for this version that's all these under the rte version is this group of group icons now what you get when you open them up is a bunch of letters so there's one which is nl there's one which is a slightly different l there's a h and lastly there's a u now these aren't used in the code so i don't know what they were intended for but the best guess i have is that somebody from microsoft took a holiday in east yorkshire in england and this was a memorial of their trip to hull so they spelt it out in the resources there's obviously a lot of rubbish but that's the best i can come up with there's one other fun thing in the resources of this version and that's in dwin which we've already seen but the crash dialogue for the blue screen and it's dialog 101 and what this is it's an assert dialogue so when something that shouldn't be happening in code happens this box will pump up pop up even and it says hey you please put the follower assert tag in the assertion field in red if you're into a book thanks now i can only think that red is some sort of internal book tracking software so well system because it doesn't make sense in the disk configuration sense so yeah this will pop up if a condition happens in code that shouldn't be happening like if something was zero when it should be one then they put a bit according to check that and if it happens then this would pop up and obviously you can see they can debug the program or ignore it or quit and all that stuff system restore is also responsible for a little bit of weirdness in this build now i don't know how it determines which folders it keeps an eye on but in this case it's keeping an eye on my bits folder so if i copy an executable say when obj here and then rename it so it doesn't have any spaces in its name and then create a shortcut to it obviously it works fine shortcut problems there and just to show you there you see target other shortcut is obviously the extra file so if i delete that file now there goes completely deleted now obviously this should now work not work because it's been deleted but if you click on it it still works now why is that well in explorer brooklyn shortcuts um get well the explorer searches for similar sort of files to see to try and fix the shortcut and in this case it did just that and it fixed it by pointing the shortcut to the system restart folder where this certain extra file has been collected as you can see the shortcut's been updated as well as the starting to point to the system restart folder so that's why it works so i said i don't know how system restart does this collection i mean it must just keep watching the folder and if there's any new folders then it copies it obviously to the restart folder but yes there's a little bit of weirdness there to do with the shortcuts and it keeping files it probably shouldn't be keeping that's also why it was so notorious for restoring malware because it used to copy them all malware and put that in the restart folder and then when you did a restart it copied the malware back to your system so your system restart was never the silver bullet it was meant to be the last major new thing about 2267 that's new is on the command line and it's the disk part utility now unlike fs util even though it's only version 0.3 so nowhere near ready for prime time yet it's actually quite functional compared to fsu tool which crashed all the time so if i list the disks and split it right then yep you can see i put an extra hard disk in here which is only four megabytes just to demonstrate this now what disk part is is pretty much just a command line front for the logical disk manager mmc snapping they both do the same thing they use the same tools underneath i have to select the disk first before i do that so yeah it's just like a command line front end for that and if we create a partition a primary partition we can see it's subjected to the same agonizing weights and bugs that that's subject to because you see creating a primary partition on the new disk it hasn't been initialized or anything so i also didn't get a pop-up when i started the computer about the new disk that i found no hardware wizard or anything so that's also not in this build or maybe just use the drivers that already had up so for the original disk but either way as you can see is taking quite a long time as we can see if we open up the task manager oh as you can see the taskbar disappeared for some reason don't know what happened but yeah if we go down here to find disk panels also should be dm admin that's the dynamic disk manager administration tool which actually does all the work of the snap in and disk bar as well succeed is working away and waiting for something and eventually we could see it's finally created the partition and it took quite a long time but what this part can't do is actually initialize the disk i don't think it can anyway nope don't seem to be able to so what happens now is since i've created a partition but not initialized it it's in some sort the disk is in some sort of frankenstein whereas if i go to here you can see it's not listed under the local drives quite yet and if i open up the disk manager snapping then we get the initialize wizard even though if i move this out of the way you can see it as actually as a partition on it and this is another drive letter i can't format it or anything so yeah this part it can create partitions it can create other sort of stuff and most of it actually works so even though it's not point version 0.3 is more stable than fsutool was when it came in so yeah that's the last new thing in this build if you're still watching then thank you for watching and i will see you in 2276 and the build not the you | winutiae | UCPtVauJQOxV485vqwL_Lt2g | 2014-10-01 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 5,213 | 26,444 |

they were offered these have been in the vault so i thought i'd bring them out and show them off to you for all you zac the zombie exterminator fans i highly recommend you read this book it is a lot of fun to read i would have loved to have seen it it was originally written as a film uh script um i really like the graphic novel and i recommend you guys pick up today it's more something a little lighter uh here at coffin comics it's a lot of fun to read i got a really good chuckle and i think you might too especially if you like sick twisted humor and all things um kind of making fun of the whole reality show kind of thing so really really great read so i recommend zoc zach zach zach the zombie exterminator i don't know where that came from eric hart how are you how are you next up i have 11 of these i found them in the store and i thought i'd present them today this is lady death fantasies number one i heart you edition i have 11 of these available for you guys today so there's 11 of these 11 and once that's it they're gone sold out no more all right oops i got a lot of those i'd also like very happy this is going to be on the store until we are sold out for all you chaos comics fans out there and complete us we now have on the store lady death and the women of chaos gallery number one i just started like a nice chunk of stock onto the store so these are available until they sell out love featuring the old classic stuff when i find them and this was really great i found a nice box with some old chaos stuff and it was a nice chunk selection of this book so i'm really happy to uh make it a part of our store now currently all right now we're on to the really weird cool stuff lots of different classics i guess you would say for all you card collectors out there let's start things off with the lady death chrome card number 13 signed by brian polito jason jensen and stephen hughes i only have one available and i think it's appropriate that is card number 13. i really uh one thing that was great about working in comic shop in the 90s um there was just so much merch coming out and trading cards were huge i mean huge business um everybody who had a character or who had a even indie indie publishers were making trading cards um i remember some of the ones that were probably the most notorious is the uh serial killer trading cards where there was a series of trading cards based on serial killers i know parents groups in the late 80s early 90s flipped out on those uh even though i know the shops i worked at you couldn't be a team to get those cards they wouldn't sell them to minors because they knew parents would freak out and it was kind of dark for a kid so um yeah the 90s were really cool for collectibles uh they really tried to outdo themselves each time um coming up with these great ideas and gimmicks with trading cards here's an example of a couple chase cards this is from lady death chromium card series one this is chase card number one i have two of these available as you can see you can actually it's almost like an animation cell how you can see through it there's the reverse side this card number uh chase card one i have two of these available these are really great i i really um remember watching people buy uh trading cards we didn't have some people and this is what some of the early uh when magic the gathering was also becoming popular people would bring little scales to weigh the packs to see if they got one of those special cards kid you're not we actually had a policy in the store you cannot weigh the packs of cards because it was so annoying when everyone's going through everything weighing stuff and taking out certain packs but leaving nothing to everyone else so it's like dude let it be luck of the draw i say next up another one from series one chromium series this is also a chase card jim ballen is the artist this is chase card number two another classic beautiful chromium card hey eric i'll probably be reaching out to you uh hopefully today or tomorrow just trying to get caught up on a lot of work yesterday i spent my day making medals for the lush naughty luscious medals done by mr richard ortiz beautiful books and i also started working on the uh cataclysmic majesty tip and metal so the azures um the ultimate editions the legend metals stuff like that started working on those today so we can get that out of our uh you know i get that process done so we can get those orders shipped out quicker to you guys so i'm very excited to uh get started on those for you all yesterday next up i have another chase card this is lady dust series chromium chase card number five steven hughes is the artist bam beautiful i really loved chase cards um i have some in my godzilla collection i have a huge binder of old godzilla card game cards from japan from my god 20 years ago now and then i also have some stuff um from the other godzilla series and i have cool little holographic cards it was always awesome when you buy a pack of cards and you always got to chase it was like you felt like the luckiest person in the world all right here is that same card but this one is signed by brian polito we only have one signed by brian again his chase card number five so i have one unsigned one sign but wait there's more i also have see dude i agree with that that is correct dame click on that link go dive in got a lot of fun stuff today including this this is a lady death chromium card number 86 from series 2. this is signed by brian and remember i think it was last week i was telling you guys all these trading cards and these little neat things of merchandise i'm discovering and i'm putting up on the catacombs this stuff right here this is this is the building blocks of coffin comics brian took a lot of these stuff did a lot of shows before he had a booth he was over at artist alley pimping his wares and getting himself back into the game so all these little pieces i consider the foundations for coffin comics and um yeah this is what uh brian was doing he was getting back in the game and then i also have some really cool classic coffin comics editions i found from i want to say maybe 08 to 09 before we started doing kickstarters so um look to see some of that stuff coming up probably next month in a upcoming vault sale maybe i don't know you have to find out all right this was a really cool find uh this was uh i thought it was just another one of the uh promo cards i have but this one's actually rare because it had a special update stamp on the back letting you know that the series all chromium so this is a pretty cool little find this side by brian it does have a coa i only have one this is it i was hoping i could find more with this gold stamp but no this is it she's a rare one so all you big card collectors well here's one of those gold stamped update promo cards and then i have three of the regular ones of those promo cards as you can see it doesn't have the gold foil stamp on the back i have three available again another beautiful classic image by steven hughes so i have three of these unsigned available right now on the catacombs it's lady death promo card number one and i do have another one of these promo cards signed by brian and steven get back ah there we go that's better so yeah this is uh this is really cool stuff to find i do have more cards coming um just getting everything cleaned up and getting them into fresh new bags um i have put all of these ones into top loaders so when they get shipped uh they have a little extra protection for you guys um because nothing sucks worse when you're just like hey i'll get that trading card and some savage at the post office decided to throw things around because they don't care and your thing gets damaged so it's heartbreaking so i tried to make it extra extra protection for you guys because these are the only ones i have jay look at you man you are sneaking up on all the class stuff good for you man all right next up wizard magazine for those who don't remember wizard magazine used to come out monthly and it was put in a nice bag it was poly bag and they had like ash cans trading cards anything to promote something from car companies comic publishers you name it and it also told had you interviews told you about upcoming events in the comics anything you needed to know about the comic book industry wizard magazine had you covered they had price guides the whole nine yards a wonderful magazine and they did a couple uh chaos comics uh promo cards and this is lady death wizard magazine promo card number seven this is a holographic card um i believe i have like five to ten available right now on the store as you can see it's also slightly embossed too on the next one i'll be showing you it's really noticeable but you can see like the texture in the cape and in the background and what have you so really cool time um they say it made me uh think back to uh all of us at the shop getting excited oh new wizard magazine came in you know and finding out what kind of promo pack or cards you were going to get and i think you put aolc cds in there and stuff like that so you can get on the internet they say really fun things really really fun fun magazine i i do miss it near the end the articles were like it was like reading uh maxim or gq where it's like all these great photos and ads but it's like this main articles are like two paragraphs it's like that's not an article that's like a glitch or something it's not an article all right this is the purgatory uh wizard magazine uh chase card number two and i hope you can note i don't know if you can notice in the frame but it is embossed so um yes uh i i just kind of touched her boob it's in 3d so it is uh almost like uh artistic braille i guess you would call but this is card number two we used to have them um here at the boutique and we sold out our last kickstarter event wow it really reflects well with this light um so i have a few of these available i thought it was all sold out because they were only at the boutique um but i found a nice little stack and i'm presenting them here for you today all right next up more cool classic stuff like how about a evil ernie lady death fiend club stickers fein club stickers i got 10 available right now uh-oh yeah those cards are very fast it's funny because um i start the show and then dakota loads up the catacombs fairly early um just a little bit before i go on so i can populate fast and man uh last week uh jimmy and i were just like hey we're sure it's sold out oh they're so loud so um they say i have more of this stuff coming uh different items so uh i hope you're able to get that carmen oh good good good good so carmen is a big purgatory fan so hopefully i can find some other cool stuff while i'm digging through the catacombs for people like carmen who were into the class of characters so how about this we're going way back this is chastity sticker boom i found a nice little handful of these i believe uh 10 or less so all you chastity fan uh for the card i recommend nine pocket card sleeves and just a three ring binder you can get an office max store your cards and there um that's what i did again i have a ton of godzilla trading cards of course i do um and i was always tipped because they could never get those cool little collectors binders they did for the american series and i got it i really hate it i like the binder and the art they used but the sleeves they included it with really cheap quality and just crap they fell apart fairly quickly so um i just ended up selling that set in the binder but i replaced um with uh nine pocket pages i believe i was bcw or if it was ultra pro at the time was the big uh supply company before bcw became a beast and just dominates it now uh but yeah uh three ring binder you can get it off this master you have one in your closet if you want to collect cards just go to your local card store card shop and say hey i need some nine pocket card pages and they'll fit right in there so it's a little uh pro tip next up another classic set from the coffin era i was waiting for that it is everything how about this is really cool a nice stack of fondalas stickers chaos classics i found a whole package of them so these are on the store right now all you uh sticker collectors these are classic chaos comic eras this was from 2002 i got i was almost 20 years ago jimmy cricket man really takes me back and i have one bad kitty one sticker and then a couple of the bad kitty two stickers boom oh let's do that there you go bad kitty collection so those are the stickers i will have for you also so this was a lot of fun to uh go through and dig this stuff up it really brought back a lot of fond memories of working in the comic shop and ordering this stuff um from brian and they would drop off the little sticker sets or or whatever but this really brought back a lot of fun memories i have more of this stuff popping up uh just so you guys know i only had seven minutes excuse my french um oh coasters tell me about it um i don't know if we have any more uh besides what's on the store cool burgers so far everything i put on the catacombs is has been it but but carmen and for all you guys uh special announcement there is going to be a lot of stuff more classic chaos air stuff coming your way on monday show and um probably a couple other items on wednesday's show so next week be a lookout um the organization there was no organization to answer your question it was just boxes of books um some had uh years on them some don't so basically and still doing it because there's so much of it um i sorted the box um we like to collect our lady death titles or all our titles by um storyline story arc first so uh for lady death it's like chaos rules damnation game extension express so on and so forth and within that it's like okay here's my bp editions i have for chaos rules here's uh artist proofs so i have it sub cataloged that way just so i can figure out what's what um and the mark is pretty much done but while going through it and organizing this stuff i find more of it so it's like okay here's my little where to box let me pull all this stuff oh here's some zac books i need to put them in my zac box so i can organize it later hell which of course um so it's it's i'm excited about doing this because it's like i'm opening up um a nice little back issue section um in a store uh and those who know me who worked with me at the comic shop retail when i was there i loved organizing and sorting back issues older stock there was just something about it i just loved it just just getting the whole thing figured out in in the correct order make sure it's alphabetical and numerical to me some people find that boring i i find it exciting because i also look at it as a history lesson i'm learning a little bit about the books as i uh discover each new thing and try to find the history of it and whatnot i absolutely love doing that type of stuff i feel like i'm a comic book archaeologist so just kind of piecing everything together so it's a lot of fun that was a really cool question uh eric um but yeah i like in my private collection i like to do everything alphabetical uh in my comic collection so you know all my batman books are in alphabetical order when i had a nice batman collection so i had like batman detective um gotham knights and all those other titles and then i'd have them sorted one through whatever the run was that way too i just love doing it marvel stuff got really hard to catalog when every 12 to 18 months they were stopping the title and giving it a new number one and it was just like oh then you had to figure out okay this is series number 10 from 2001 to 2003 so on and so forth so every time they would do that it'd be like ah um that was always the hardest but i just tried to remember the numerical if it was a like amazing spider-man they rebooted two three times and went back to the old numbering and then down the news so collecting comic books and organizing them is fun but sometimes frustrating um especially with the series has ended and they start the next series um a lot of the shots i did they always put the oldest series first and then back and then i've worked at some shops where they put the newest runs of series and back and i always just believe in keeping a nice chronological order yes carbon that is correct you will start seeing that stuff um it'll probably go all the lady death kick starter uh tchotchke stuff we have the bookmarks and the stickers and then from there um it should go la muerta vinhelwich so yes that is correct um that would be the order for all those items to be coming out scott no hi welcome welcome welcome um let's see here yeah i think that's just their their marketing thing jay this is something they they they do they've been doing it i want to say since the late 90s early aughts i remember a lot of marvel titles um ending and going back to number ones and then um probably around like 2005 through probably 12 it was like almost a regular kurds and it would frustrate people too yeah i i i actually would help customers um back in the day help organize their comics for him for fun there was one gentleman he was a police officer here in phoenix and he had the most amazing comment collection i had ever seen like i saw some of uh early super girls first super girls you know comic the super horse i mean he had a little bit of everything and uh it was never catalog just boxes full of random titles and it was a very overwhelming experience because there was literally probably 250 boxes that had never been catalogued that was hard there is not the each week as you've been seeing with the lady death kick starters you've been seeing the little chunks kind of like come out i believe it's uh mondays uh but they've been watching uh usually kickstarter stuff weekly so expect to see stuff each week and then sign up for the vip newsletter because that will tell you when those things drop you'll see that stuff uh inside there new merch and not only that it'll send you let you know when we're introducing new stuff into this store especially those kickstarter items that uh you were asking about jessica 30 more drawer boxes then scott i you and i go back 27 years as long as i know brian because i used to work for either brother at the comic shop um yeah i i i have to ask you on a personal collector's note are the drawer boxes uh better than the regular ones um i'm sure they are because man moving uh short boxes or long boxes to get to the ones below it that hurts and it's a hell of a workout though see jessico knows what to do heck yeah you got the right idea girl i have yet to see anything uh kenneth rhodes i apologize i haven't run across anything um there might be something as i go through the catalog throughout cataloging all the vault stuff i have i'm sure i'll run across one of those great thank you for the information i'll i'll let people know who i know have large collections go for the drawer boxes scott no gives at 100 uh improvement over lifting boxes all right guys that's the show to this week i just want to say uh thank you everyone for joining me today

l6wtQIgbpL4 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6wtQIgbpL4 | Ajahn Brahmali Sutta Retreat BGF 2020 19th Feb Q&A 5 | too long see how things go and then because there was another talk later on as well as it's almost what happening here okay DeRozan is someone who keeps quiet most of the time while speaking facts though it may hurt others may hurt there's keep-keep due to wrong timing be a be practicing right speech oh you have to again it's about hurting others it depends on how you hurt others whether is required or not yeah so sometimes it is a kind of required and other times it is not so it really depends and again the most important thing is that your intention is in the right place sometimes people just have a kind of bit rough way of talking it's just the character or some thing and of course then it's a problem for them but it's not a problem in terms like commas there's a problem for the relationship with other people so just come back to this idea of intention yeah if you speak facts and that you hurt others duty wrong timing him then it is not necessarily bad it would depend on the intention of that person there but the idea there is just to move towards compassion yeah how can I be more compassionate to people around me and if you move towards compassion all the time then quite likely your speech will Ducks also become more become better become more well become more in accordance with these rules that we just have been looking at all these is the story there here the gradual training here so intention intention intention motivation where you're coming from it is what really matters okay why are some people unreasonable and jealous how to deal with them how to deal with people who are unreasonable and jealous I sometimes you cannot do too much with other people this is one of the problems in life you can do something with your we cannot do too much with others if others are jealous you know sometimes you have maybe you can take them to a Dhamma talk and they can ask the teacher talking about talking about jealousy yeah something like that we could do that later Brom yeah you can ask him to talk about jealousy maybe that's a smart move probably here and so but really a lot of the solution is in your own attitude to it again everything in the world is about understanding that other people are the way they are because of conditions yeah and that often you cannot really expect them to be otherwise er the thing is that we think that people can choose they can choose to be different they don't have to be like this but it's not actually the case we can't really choose how we want to be or it's very limited how much we can choose if you are gentlest by Nature you can't just overcome it like that it's very hard if you're an angry person by nature it's not easy to overcome just like that so for that reason don't expect too much for other people that don't expect that they will change and if it is too hard to be around someone who is jealous or difficult or unreasonable then don't be around them so much sure yeah it would reduce your frequency of socializing or whatever with that person because otherwise it's just painful for yourself you have to look after yourself is this so important in this life and they're usually people who are jealous or unreasonable whatever they are if you are kind to them eventually they will tender you will come like a mirror to them and they start to understand themselves that the problems the best way to understand a problem is if the person themselves understand the problem anyone else outside tries to tell them usually they will resist and it won't be possible to do that so a lot of the hardest part of the path is often the idea of acceptance accept the way things I do a little bit do what you can but understand the limits of what you can do otherwise you're just creating so much dukkha for yourself so I'm sure that's not the answer you wanted to hear but anyway that's the that is the answer nevertheless so we want usually wants to lose immediate solutions but that's kind of the point with some sour eyes are no immediate solutions if the word immediate solution then existence wouldn't be such a problem is the whole point with these difficult people is to also to gain some insight into what people are like what the world is like and the more you gain insight into that the more the less interesting it all becomes because you understand you can't control that it has to be this way here and then you kind of move away from that and you understand the spiritual path is really where it is all at that's what you have to do her okay Roger number one a chanting it does have its benefits okay recalling the qualities of the Buddha it tips over give us some mass on Buddha and realizing that in the suitors that I have heard so far none of them specifically defined the the factories of the Noble Eightfold Path which all began with the Samba some Maruyama some Madonna is a combination the perfection of effort not virya energy being the result of some by omaha would you like to speak more about some ma c pd obviously you are properly rightly thoroughly pd thoroughly properly rightly in the right way as it ought to be best perfectly opposite of mixture and the CPD but doesn't actually have it in the exit dictionary doesn't have all those seems to such right seems to such an understatement yes sometimes some miss translate as perfectly yeah perfect view perfect or at each of the factories there's another way that is it is translated so you are trying to perfect it I suppose down the down the trachea but it's not a word that occurs in very many contexts in the suitors as far as I know so for that reason it's well sunless on Boudreaux that's true that would be the perfect enlightened one there but it doesn't occur so often and the reason that for that reason makes it quite hard to really pin it down exactly and what it means so I don't know I think you know the rightly that maybe I think right works reasonably well the right effort some people complain about that they complain that it's like a Dogma if you said this is right effort yeah so I could talk dogma this is what you have to do it becomes a bit like God giving the Ten Commandments similar kind of thing if this is right on to anything else but there's not that right in that sense it is right in in relation to to the big picture of Buddhism of overcoming dukkha suffering and of achieving happiness it is right in that particular context so because of that it yeah it's it's different from the idea it's not a dogmatic statement quite in the way that you might think it is so right effort really right effort is anything that leads you in the right direction yeah anything that kind of and moves you towards more purity the purpose or right effort is largely to purify your mind you go through the sequence we have some avouch some McCammon samadeva that's all the ordinary purification by morality and then when that is done then of course we have to purify the mind that is what some Madonna some Miami is all about and then you have some Musante which is a more of the more of that you have some very last defilements to get rid of it that's done through some Masotti and then you get the sama samadhi coming out of that so some Appa Donna is a very broad thing yeah it's all about kind of thinking correctly and and all of that it's kind of Yan this woman is a car I sort of involved in that satin pajama Nia is partly involved in that and all kind of coming coming together in a sense but I don't know I personally I'm happy with right personally right effort I'm not sure if there is any better translation have thought about it before and it couldn't really find a better translation in my opinion perfectly is wrong so sorry Mitra is wrong so then the opposite would normally be right but yeah anyway so I'm not not sure I am sort of happy with with the right but you know maybe you have a point so maybe have to write your doctoral theses of this particular word and then there okay okay second question a and I go to nakai 411 Casey suta son ha Purusha gentle and harsh are mentioned for vanadium lead train instructor remover but not for varsity speak would it be appropriate to apply it to two actions by speech mmm okay so it is yeah so you train someone you do that the Sun and Peru is a gentle and harsh but speeds you don't actually have that it's not actually mentioned in that way okay I think I will have to look it up first of all before I comment on that because I don't like to see the context a little bit and see what it is what is happening there so let me put that to one side and I will come back to it later on her and see what happens pyridine is attainment of the four stages of awakening enlightenment linked to the attainment of the jhana states please explain further here yes they are very strongly linked because in a sentence it's the same thing that you are doing it the movement along the Buddhist path is a movement of purification but also a movement of abandoning things yes so as you move through the darkness you are abandoning your attachment to it so much in the entire sensual world is kind of let go of when you enter the darkness lights and this is really big this is really big we are I mean we live our life immersed in the celestial world all we see around those essential things from the moment you wake up in the morning to decoded by that night apart from when you do it a bit of meditation perhaps depending on what kind of meditation you have if you think sensual fantasies in meditation and that too is part of that sensual world and you go to bed at night you dream and the dream more sensual it's just endless you know the central world is we are so utterly trapped in this world you know you you walk around in your daily life everything we do from the moment they're born pretty much to it die is an aspect of that sensual world so one of the first steps is to extract yourself from that seneschal world and that extraction happens in the Janis this is the first that's why this is a powerful state of insight because you actually left that world for the first time man and that's why it is a weird and strange I've never seen anything like this before yeah the whole sensuality is kind of gone no desire is for any of these things anymore and yet you are fully content and happy as a consequence so it's powerful so this is why these eye vaginas are steps in that direction to the inside of stream entry when you become a stream entry you have insight into all the five Kunduz including the mental conda's so you know everything is impermanent and onself that's the difference so there you have everything in Madonna is only the sensual world so it's easier to go via vagina than not to go by the jhana because the step is less there's a little step you abandon things gradually rather than grant abandon everything straight away here it's interesting in the suitors the Buddha always places the four Joanna's in the same category as the four stages of awakening yeah they're always come together for journals for sailors or awakening so you are very close to awakening when you come to the john laaser and there's a bit often the context gives you a lot of information of how profound these things are they are the suta way really now is the magic Malika 27 and in their pajamas are called the Tatar guitar pas de pan as a footstep oh the Buddha yeah these are footsteps of the Buddha when you come to the John as you know the Buddha would have been here yeah because this is a so profound is a sort of thing the Buddha would have to go through to reach awakening here so and so this is you know these are some of the ways the jhanas are described in the sutras has very lofty things on par with the stages of awakening themselves so yeah so you can when you come out of Regina state then you have much more insight into reality you know that the whole sensual realm is just not really worth holding on to now you really start to understand dukkha is that the whole central realm is dukkha that's what you really see here and for that reason it's only a little bit left to like let go over and that is the mental phenomena are the mental phenomena in the first jhana state that's what you have to let go after that so you then turn your attention on those jon laaser and you see those China States as also being impermanent and when you see them as impermanent you realize that they too are problematic they can't be sustained you have to give them up as well because you can't sustain that there's no point in kind of hanging out there because eventually come back to even more dope car the sensual world and all that yeah number two your imitation can a yogi practice anapanasati and we pass on a meditation in the same sitting here since both are married meditations on the breathing yes thank you well anapanasati is we pass enough meditation yeah these are not different things they are the same so when you practice on apanasana the mindfulness of breathing yeah you it is both Samata and weepin sana you become more quiet and calm but you also gain more inside you have more clarity in your mind because when you are more calm you have more clarity yeah generally unless you're kind of slothful or whatever of course then it doesn't work but assuming that your these hindrances are gone man so these are really the same and this is what is fascinating by it with the suitors is that some mother bleep asana is almost always a compounder they occur together in the sutras in other words you develop them together yeah yeah talks about what you should develop it's always somewhat of a person aha so they come together and not separate when you're more calm you have more Reaper sana when you have more partner you're more calm they have to develop together here why here because the cause for some Mota is the same as the calls for a person AHA the thing that stops you from having some Mota is the five hindrances the defilements of the mind the thing I stops you from having the persona is also the hindrances because it distorts the mind you see happiness where it isn't so we have you have less we personally have less clarity less clear so the cause is the same because the cause is the same they have to arise together here they can't really be independent of each other here so there is no such thing as we pass on our meditation in the street as does not cure it all there is there is with prasanna as a result of meditation practice not as a kind of meditation practice it doesn't exist so you despite this ordinary meditation and that is everything yet you don't all you need to do is to watch the breath flee yeah you don't have to do anything else not have to watch the feelings in the body or anything like that it just watch the breath you'll take you all the way into awakening if you do it properly here and I would usually recommend that because this is how the Buddha talks about meditation practice yeah the Buddha talks about satipatthana practice and he had the only type of meditation that he says fulfills satipatthana is the ref meditation it fulfills everything else he doesn't sell it about any other subject so get on to the breath yeah and easy I actually not so easy but you not I mean it's simple if not had to make it too complex I said but that's the point keep it simple there and then you can you can do that so some other person I go together not separate separated like that so when people say this is with personal meditation it's just marketing yeah it sounds good yeah in the Sun meditation wow I would like some Insight Meditation so it sounds good but all meditation is Insight Meditation or meditation is a clear seeing you and this division in the Buddhist world is really no foundation for that and yeah okay many people might disagree with me on that one but that's my position there number two during meditation can a yogi practice annapurna south in the past summer at the same sit I really just that's the one we just did okay good so what are the best or the most reliable sources to learn Polly wow you're really getting into it aren't you that's pretty pretty cool so if you want to learn parley one of the resources that I learned partly with us a is it might be better resources now that's the one I use is a bi 8k water introduction to Paulo and if you go online there's a website called the whip their wisdom and wonders and this wisdom of wonders actually contains that's done by some not done by Miramar somewhere else but it contains the parlor classes that I gave at putting on a monastery here so the point of that is because when you read the book it is very dense yeah you have to be a language students are able to kind of understand what is going on so the point of having a parlor class is to explain to people what these concepts and words mean in this book which is so dense so wisdom and wonders the website is a good place to to go to be able to learn parley here so yeah what are your thoughts on the different traditions of Buddhism Theravada Mahayana Tibetan Qian Zhen and maybe Pure Land and whatever else is lots of different things so I think one of the thing is we have to be careful with in Buddhism is that again we tend to differentiate too much yeah us against them or they are Mahayana what do they know that kind of thing is and but very often it turns out that things are not that simple where you read some of the Mahayana monks in the world of Vajrayana monks I remember reading a book by Dalai Lama many many years ago 10-15 years ago or something and I thought wow it's actually very straightforward i'ma watch the breath be kind but that sort of thing very strange for Dhamma and I think this is kind of the point is that very often the teachings actually I the same across the board precisely because we come from the same roots not always in many cases perhaps not but they are yeah they are there sometimes they are and that is a it's good so it's not really Mahayana versus tera vaada it's more like certain people within tera vada versus certain people in Mahayana and some people you will agree with some Mahayana people you will agree with more than some kind of other people there because they have weird ideas yeah it's that the problem is the same for all of these schools the problem is that all of these schools have developed after the time of the Buddha so Tara vada has develops that's why you have the epidermal that's why you have the wizard among others where you have become terrorism that's why you have a large number of books in Pali then I don't even know what they what they call the grammar books and dictionaries actually part of the dictionary is written by Paul the experts the whole dictionary just in Pali so you wouldn't be able to read it and etc etc yeah so what do you take to be true vada Buddhism and most telephones will say all of that is true vada Buddhism but I'm not so interested in Theravada Buddhist what I'm interested is early Buddhism I want to know what the Buddha taught yes what is interesting to me I know what Buddha girls are taught I mean who is but I cosa anyway he may have been a good month but was he in light I think he said specifically there's not enlightened doesn't really understand it so we often we rely on scriptures that we have no idea where they came from or who wrote them and this is problematic and it is why this widest are useful to come back to the world of the Buddha's who come back to the for nikah Anza yeah long discourse of the Buddha mid-length discourse the Buddha connected across the border and numerical discourse they were to come back to that again and again that's where I would say to find your real inspiration so and what is interesting of course is that those suitors they exist also in Chinese translation some of them exist in Tibetan translation some of them exist in Sanskrit some of the existence of very obscure languages like quote uneasy how many people here a critical Tunisia but not so many the real language yeah that's kind of you'd never heard about it so I have to I'm showing off by showing yeah I know these names could quote Aneesa is a Central Asian language had died out a long time ago doesn't exist anymore here and then this somebody unless another one this language answer and then there's we get we guess that exist yeah wigger is with being kind of the eastern provinces of China and they also they have texts Buddhist texts written in a wiggly language so they probably used to be Buddhists the wig is before they got converted to Islam that's another interesting point to all of these languages and so because of that and very interesting in other very famous his master Yunshan now he was writing about what is a you know the word of the buddha and these kind of things and he analyzed the suitors and that he was a very very famous probably the most famous mahayana buddhists coming from china and he said that the argument the significance at that is the word of the buddha he said that he was a mahayana buddhist it was the most influential of all mahayana buddhist he was the one who was the background the one who influenced and they give rise to four Quan shun yeah in the Dharma drum Mountain and also to was he called again that suits to achieve foundation yeah all of these big organizations in Taiwan actually kind of sprang out of his teachings that his kind of support so he was very influential in Taiwan originally born in mainland China but then he left for Taiwan later on so he's I kind of celebrated the scholar in in Buddhism so don't make don't need to kind of so the question shouldn't be in my opinion you know we don't need to differentiate so much between these various Buddhism say what we should ask rather is what where is the word of the buddha that to me is what matters that is an important thing and then we are on the right track you know i think that this is so obvious in a sense yeah there are large parts of the world that don't have this kind of idea but often that is because just because they haven't maybe not educated quite in this way but i think this is how things probably will move in the future there's already large movements happening in thailand for example there is the buddha vajna movement but Washington is the word of the buddha is a monk or Procrit who's leading that and it's very popular with with educated people in Thailand why because well precisely because it does make sense yeah we want to go back to the world of Arthur make sense he's a little bit controversial Procrit so I oh yeah you can talk about him if you wish but but that's my yeah that's anyway that's what he's doing you have a similar kind of things happening in Sri Lanka yeah moving back to early Buddhism what did the Buddha really teach lots of people who think like that for obvious reasons they realized we have lost our way a little bit with writing too many books so yeah I should I should probably confess that I have written a small book as well that's a really embarrassing isn't it oh so anyway but I'm now what we are doing now is better than translated in the business etiquette now into English that would be more interesting so so hope that helps how do we know when a tradition has gone too far off Buddhist teachings you compare it to the earliest students and if it doesn't match with the early suitors then it has gone too far off this can be quite difficult unless you are a bit of a scholar and you know what's going to come by hard to judge these things but so then you can maybe go to somebody and ask them to get some advice because it can be quite these judgments are not easy to make let's put it that way here okay whoa very nice John Angelia John this begins with a nice drawing of pens only at the top that's right very cool that question one I would like to start learning certains then please suggest where the best to start is there a systematic way to learn the suit answer and there is a kind of a systematic way the systematic way is to do go to the be commendable baku bodis translation he has a book called in the Buddha's words er yeah and that is a compilation of some of the kind of important suit as in the Pali Canon and they are compiled with according to categories and group so it gives a very quick introduction to the to the suitors and because they are compiled and he has written it he has written introductions and thing yes yes yes you can read his introductions his English can be a little bit he kind of PhD level but you know that you will probably make your way through it is later so occasionally may have to read a dictionary on you but anyway so that's where you could start and then from there you can then just gradually just move on to the other suitors the suit has come in different types you have suit as an arm or kind of direct teaching whether buddha says this is the way it is yeah terrific and you have suitors that are more inspirational you feel uplifted like verses very often huh so you may want to read the Dhammapada for example that can be very uplifting through the Dhammapada or you can make one with the Terri gotta carry otter is the verses of the elder nuns I noticed that you are a woman so because of that you may want to read that because someone is nice to read something of one's own gender yeah because sometimes we can relate better to our own gender here for obvious reasons so you may want to read those terracotta verses you can find them on Sutra central net suit the central dogma super central in one word and they the translation is there and I don't see chart or translation here then they are the connected at discourses of the Buddha and they are actually also very nice the first book of the connected discourses called the Sun God of argon which means the the chapter with verse and many beautiful little teachings there with Davers and all kind of things and there's one chapter for Pekinese again and all of these things so that's also quite nice the first part of that book yeah but yeah anyway so there's a few ideas for you huh and if you don't like it then I guess don't know what to say you can come back next to your complaint or something so see see how things go yes access to inside is another website I personally don't know I'm I don't prefer I don't any suppose translation might say all that before I prefer although became big about it I think it's the best one that in my opinion because it has so many idiosyncratic thing is that I kind of out out of left field II dukkha is stress and I cannot answer and then did you ever okay okay that's a good point and you became an bhikkhuni so there must be good yeah yeah that's what I mean yeah it made it made it made your bikini so it must be good [Music] okay said no okay but now now you have translations anyway he did he did translate it he did that's true huh yeah yeah we have you seen my translation I also have translation of the bikini party for the whole bikini be Bunga I had translated big anaconda cut everything switchin anyway it was one of these days it will come out number question number two how best to deal with bodily tightness but the discomfort and bodily pain during meditation here we radiate method to that particular area of the body here or tell myself that this body is not I and it is normal to have mild discomfort usually the last one doesn't really work yeah you say it's not I and then the two minutes later it's exactly the same problem again so yes I wouldn't try that but what the most important thing is to find a good posture for yourself yeah and posture it can be any posture that you you enjoy and you are at ease and you are relaxed in there it doesn't have you don't have to sit cross-legged on the floor and if you do sit cross-legged or Brooke use many cushions yeah so you can't cut when you get up very high and your legs kind of tilt forward much more comfortable extracted white hair so I was said to try to find a more suitable posture that's what I would recommend and then you you are more at ease but you know at the end of the day there's always going to be discomfort in the body even if you have the best posture in the world after a while you will have some discomfort this is just nature of the body you can't avoid that so what to do is to sit for Peters a time that are not too long it change your posture when you start to get too much discomfort try maybe to lie down sometime is it yeah all of these things you can do just depends on what you are doing in your head if you're falling asleep and don't lie down because it's gonna get worse you're gonna really snore away and everyone is gonna you know everyone's gonna have compassion for you of course but but you know what you know how these things happen here so just feel your way through this find the right way of posture and the thing is that if your meditation goes we well it won't be a problem anymore here if imitation goes really well you quickly become peaceful the body is no longer problem so the reason why there's a problem is because you're not getting all that peaceful in the first place yeah and then it may not be worthwhile sitting for long periods of time because you may not get any results so just you know try some of those things and then see if that works and okay third one once the body and mind are relatively at ease instead of focusing on the breath if when radiance Mehta outwards from the body visualized without focusing on anyone is that is this considered meditation suitable that absolutely yeah you can do that too please do that if you feel that you're able to give rise to Metta to these these feelings it's wonderful that and what you can do is you can start by giving rise to Metta and then you can take that matter with the breath yeah and you can kind of carry them together here you can like have like you have meta for the breath or monster so this is very useful that's that's so you are able to do that it's wonderful there so that's fine but eventually you may want to come back to the breath again to take it really deep really very one point it is easier to be one pointed with the breath precisely as you say the focusing meta outward may not be maybe to kind of broad a field or whatever here so come back to the come back to the breath some people apparently can go into jhana states this three meter but maybe that's possible I'm not sure have Dheeraj on them how to move forward from mine that clings to dullness and drowsiness it's like stuck in the low state in those dolma states only here thank you yes so we have to kind of understand the reason why the mind is dull yeah and the reason really is because you haven't got enough happiness in your meditation practice that's when dullness conversa so this is why but the Buddha emphasizes so much that they are giving rise to joy PT giving rise to - papa drac gladness and all these kind of things because a happy mind is never gonna be dull you're gonna be sharp as a razor blade when you do something you enjoy in this world generally you tend to become very shy so see if you can give rise to a bit of joy remember also that dullness is also very common because you push yourself too much yeah the mind doesn't want to be here because it's uncomfortable to be here if you push yourself and if that is what you're doing then just sit back a bit more relaxed a bit more huh yeah and don't push remember the idea of sitting in an armchair you come back from work you're really tired and you're not really doing anything at all you're just sitting there it's a very nice idea for how no effort in your meditation practice and then it may be that your mind because it enjoys it morning that the term this will disappear the dullness is often you wanted to blot out the world because the world is painful there as often while you have people have dullness so so just relax just enjoy this sit back you notice a way to be very patient patience is one of the most important things in there in this meditation business so try a different posture here and if all of that doesn't worry you and if you find it hard to give rise to joy then one of the things you may have to do is just to carry on with the basics of the Buddhist practice and as you carry on with the basics eventually those will mature and they mature and then you will access that joy much more easily afterwards once all the you know the kindness aspects of the path come together here okay so I think I need to go back to my room because I made a bit of rest before the next one so that's it so we see so see you again this evening and also another day tomorrow that's it's great | Buddhist Gem Fellowship | UCO0ZJNg8NG72bjancO3jg9A | 2020-02-19 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 6,254 |

csILyzhnRvs | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csILyzhnRvs | Geometry 9.8: Prove that two triangles are congruent | okay carrying on looking at congruent triangles and today we're going to look at how to do a little proof around why two triangles are congruent so let's start with this example and we're going to read it through we are given that a d and be are straight lines okay that's pretty obvious I can see that ad and be are straight lines they're just telling us to reassure us then they're telling us that AB is parallel to De right AB is parallel to D and they've actually marked that on the diagram I quite like to just quickly draw in that like put in a little red or something for parallel lines so I remember to look at parallel lines um when I'm doing my proof and I also just remind myself what are the things that parallel lines allow me to talk about and they basically if you remember all your stuff on Parallel Lines alternative angles are equal corresponding angles are equal and Co interior angles add up to 180 so there we go we are probably going to be able to use those parallel lines to do something around angles um and then the other thing they've told us is that AB is equal to De and they haven't put that in the drawing for us so let's go and put that straight into the drawing and I'm going to put it in blue so I can see it nice and easily that those two lines are equal to each other now they're asking me to prove that triangle AB C is congruent to Triangle d e c um so those are the two triangles that they're talking about um and I'm not going to have to color them in or anything cuz they're actually quite obvious if it was a more messy diagram I'd want to but it's obvious which two triangles I'm talking about just note that in most cases they will um actually ask us about the triangles if you are careful when you write your congruent triangles and you write them in the right order it can help you right and so if they've told us AB C it's a b c is congruent to Triangle d e c d e c that's what we're trying to show it's likely that angle a will be equal to angle D this and this and angle B will be equal to angle e that and that right um and line AB right will be equal to line de so the way they've written it up can help us see what we need to know like BC this little bit here should be equal to EC right and those are just Clues they're not facts we can't take it for granted but it can help us if we're wanting to look at which two angles might we try and show are equal all right but let's just think about what do we need to do we need to prove that these two things are congruent how do we prove two triangles congruent well we know our four cases side side side side angle side any two angles in a side or right angle hypotenuse side right there's nothing in this diagram here that suggests there's a right angle no rectangles or squares or anything where you know it suggests that there is a a right angle so chances of us using that are not great right that's probably not the case of congruency we're going to use and basically because they've given us parallel lines and we know that with parallel lines we can then talk about angles being equal I think the greatest chance is that we're looking at one of these two right side angle side or angle angle side we know we've got a side already because they told us that these two sides are equal so likelihood I think is we're going to end up with angle angle side because with parallel lines it's easy for me to find some angles that are equal all right before I start writing the formal proof I do a little exploration here I've got these two parallel lines um and so with parallel lines okay I can see what are angles that are equal um let's go for alternate angles first now remember with alternate angles we were looking for the Zed pattern if I have a look here can you see the Zed pattern and so I have that this little angle here is equal to that angle there because they are alternate on Parallel Lines and I also have that this little angle here will be equal to that one y again alternate on parallel lines and so if I just look at my picture now I've got everything I need right I've got two angles and a side angle angle side so now all I need to do is start writing this up nicely okay so let's start with the easiest one I go a oh let me use black rather AB is equal to De now how do I know that that is true well I know that is true because they told me right they gave it to me in the statement so I have to always write reasons when I'm writing a proof so I say given then I want to write that I know that this angle is equal to this angle all right and so I can say angle b a c is equal to angle e DC e DC right and why is that true well it's alternate angles on Parallel Lines and then I can so about my green angles being equal that's ABC is equal to c e d let's just check I've called those angles the right thing a b c is equal to c e d and again the reason for that is alternate angles on parallel lines and at the end then I can conclude CU I've shown that two angles um and a side are equal in these triangles I can conclude the triangle AB C is congruent to Triangle d e c and it really is nice if one actually makes sure you write it in the correct order a b c d e c because here I'm going from with ABC I'm I'm going from the orange to the green to the other and with DEC I'm doing exactly the same from the orange angle to the green angle to the other and this just makes it very easy because straight away after that I can kind of without actually even looking make some conclusions if I've written these things in exactly the same order from Orange to Green to the other orange to Green to the other then I can immediately say well side a c right is the same as side let me just underline it here so you can see what I'm talking about I can say side a is exactly the same as side DC DC so because we know that corresponding sides of congruent triangles are equal it makes it very easy if we've written them in this correct order for us to immediately juice well which are the sides that are equal it's AC which is equal to DC C right it's the corresponding sides it's the side that goes from the orange angle to the middle from the orange angle to the middle and if we've written it correctly we don't even have to look at the picture we can just say AC DC right just go for the letters that are in the same position so writing the letters in the correct order really does help when we then want to make some conclusions from what we've shown is congruent okay here is one I want you to try yourself not is in your key Concepts book so please pause the video and try and do this proof for yourself all right so here again we are given that two sides are equal so we given ab and DC are equal to each other we're also given they're parallel so immediately we know when we've got parallel lines we can look at um alternate corresponding Co interior angles and the immediately obvious Zed is there for our um alternate angles being equal and then if you have a a quick look here you can immediately see that what we have is this little line here is in fact in both triangles so what we have is we have got a side an angle and a side side angle side so that's the case of of congruency that we're immediately going to have all right so let's write that up now in full we are going to say that oh let me get a black pen we are going to say a a is equal to CD and why do we know that well it was given to us right we were told that over here that those two things were equal then we can say that angle B A is a equal to um angle DC a and this is alternate angles on Parallel Lines that's the reason we can say that and just have a look as I said the clue is here if they've written it nicely for us b a c d c a right it's you can often go back to this to look for Clues if you're finding it difficult to figure out which two things you should trying to be see are equal okay and then the last thing is this line AC this line AC is in both triangles obviously it's the same line so obviously it's equal how do we say in short this line is in both triangles well the way that we say it is that it is common it means that just simply means AC is common to both triangles AC is in both of the triangles so this short form when we just say AC is common what we're saying is AC is in both of the triangles it is the same side that is in both triangles AC is common is how we say it and then we write up triangle ABC and this is where is congruent to Triangle now just make very sure you do write them in exactly the right order now normally they have given them in the right order in the question but if we keep it so we put corresponding sides together let's see you see we've go from A to B to C in this triangle it's from the orange angle out and then back right so for this one we should also do that orange angle out and then back so it should be c d e and why I make such a fuss about this is then it becomes very easy to talk about which two sides in the Triangle are equal so for example I can immediately say that BC right is equal to Da right look at it in the picture BC and da are equal and why is this true this is because they are corresponding sides of a congruent triangle right I mean we weren't actually asked to prove this that's the end of the proof but here say they then asked us further things which sides are equal we can immediately say BC is equal to Da because they are corresponding sides we can equally well say look here angle B has to be the same as angle d right and you can see that in the picture too B and D are the same and again you can just write that immediately angle B is equal to angle D and this is corresponding angles of congruent triangles Etc they can ask you all sorts of things they can ask you you know show which which are all the angles that are equal in these triangles Etc so you can immediately from the fact that they're congruent deduce that the corresponding angles and the corresponding sides are equal | olicoTV | UCkLwfn2SjyR5_q7ALhiymXQ | 2016-05-03 |

ctT2BaXGMV0 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctT2BaXGMV0 | First Minister's Questions - 22 September 2016 | to which we now come question number one Ruth Davidson are you presenting officer to ask the First Minister of what engagements she has planned for the rest of City First Minister engagements to take forward the government's programme for Scotland thank you presenting officer I agree with the Scottish government that in many cases a community sentence may be the best option in sentencing but does the First Minister agree with me that the crime of rape should not be among them I absolutely agree the crime of rape should be treated with the utmost seriousness and severity indeed statistics show that the vast majority the overwhelming majority of rape cases 93% of cases and a custodial sentence and indeed the average length of custodial sentences for rape and attempted rape are now 17 percent longer than they were back in the year 2006 7 I think all of that is right and proper sentencing of course in individual cases as a matter for the courts and it would be wrong for me as first minister to comment on any individual case but in terms of Community Payback holders these of course that a sentencing option available to courts at however courts will make those judgments based on recommendations that take into account risk assessments public protection and the background of the individual and with a non-custodial sentence is given the court will have considered all relevant matters in that case individuals on community feedback quarters are also subject to robust and ongoing risk assessment and where appropriate that will include multi-agency public protection arrangements but there's no doubt in my mind presiding officer that the offense of rape or indeed attempted rape should be treated with the utmost severity I would like to thank the First Minister for that response and while she does recognize that 93% of sentences regarding rape incur a custodial sentence that leaves seven percent that don't and once again this morning we read of more evidence where that's the case but these types of crimes are receiving a Community Payback order one of this government's key justice policies and they do include thoughts against children and reap and child reap now this morning rape crisis Scotland said that it is difficult to see in what circumstances a CEO could ever be an appropriate sentence for rape or the rape of a young child surely everyone here can agree that rape crisis is right well I've got the utmost respect for what the crisis does and I absolutely agree that their views on all matters of rape and sexual offences should be listened to very seriously and I agree and I've made that clear rape is one of the most heinous offenses that can be committed in our society and I believe it is incumbent on all of us and everybody with any influence in the criminal justice system to make sure that the offense of rape is treated seriously at the simple point I will make and I genuinely hope it's a point that Ruth Davidson will accept is that as far as Minister I do not decide on the individual sentences passed down by courts that is rightly and properly a matter for courts and before a court will make a decision on the appropriate sentence in any case they will take account of a range of information and circumstances the risk to the public and of course the circumstances of the offender including in many cases the age of the offender I think it's right in our society that is courts the independent judiciary that decide on sentences but in setting policy it is very clear to me that we need to treat rape and indeed other sexual offences with a seriousness that they made it that's why I've pointed to the statistics in terms of Reap cases because it custodial sentences are passed down in rape cases and a higher percentage of cases than for almost all other offences the average length of custodial sentence is now longer we are seeing through the criminal proceeding statistics the crown office bringing more successful prosecutions for rape and attempted rape a hundred and twenty five convictions in 2014-15 which is up from 89 in the year before that police Scotland's also improved the investigation of rape and other sexual crimes setting up the new national rape task force so I hope nobody across this chamber would doubt in a sense the seriousness with which we all take these issues but I equally hope members across the chamber will accept that fundamental point of principle about criminal justice in our society that's not politicians who decide sentences and individual cases Israeli courts who do so I would like to thank the First Minister for the response and for the manner in which we're able to discuss it because these are sensitive issues I know that everyone in this chamber is united in our disgust at crimes such as these but the reason that I raised it today is that concerns with CPUs have been well-documented for some time and the Scottish government says that there are sanctions open to the courts when CPUs are breached but every year we discover that nearly a third of orders are broken with scant evidence that people are punished and we know that one in five of these CEOs are handed out without any work requirement placed on criminals who receive them now I repeat that we on this side of the chamber absolutely accept the need for a community sentence sentencing but what does the First Minister doing to address these issues of CPUs I think you general and I think she's right to raise the particular issues around non custodial sentences because of course we've got to monitor an an ongoing basis the effectiveness of non custodial sentences like community feedback orders and as I say that I think in an earlier answer individuals on community feedback orders are subject to robust an ongoing risk assessment we're a community payback order is breech that is open to the court to to introduce different sanctions including imprisonment for breach of the the payback order it's also the case and this is I think very pertinent to the issue of effectiveness of these disposals which is one of the the issues that Ruth Davidson is raising individuals who are released from a custodial sentence of six months or less re convicted more than twice as often as those who had given a community payback order instead now what that tells us is that non custodial sentences like CPOs when they are handed down in appropriate circumstances are more effective than short-term prison sentences in reducing reoffending so I absolutely except that these are issues of the utmost seriousness and we've got to look at all of the evidence but hope all of us would agree and that where it's appropriate and I absolutely a stress where is appropriate keeping people out of prison and I'm not talking here about particular offenses but in general terms whether it's appropriate keeping people out of prison and helping to rehabilitate them in the community so that they are less likely to Rhea fend it in general terms a good thing none of that absolutely none of that takes away from the seriousness of certain types of offenses which it all should always be treated with the utmost seriousness by our course Davison oh I think we can all agree that reducing reoffending is important but people and the public must have confidence that the sentence is appropriate for the crime and that does include punishment and the trouble is I'm afraid that too often the response from ministers is simply to declare that the systems working fine and that everyone should just accept it but CPUs aren't working fine First Minister I mean there were an SMP creation and there this government's policy but we've learned again today that they're being applied to serious crimes like rape when they shouldn't be up to a third of them are breached and up so fifth of them don't contain any punishment element at all I believe that we now need a calm considered fresh review by the Scottish government on the way that cpos are being handed out will the First Minister take that action because it is so obviously needed First Minister Oh unfortunately again can I say the the issue in this morning's media that has given rise to Davison's questions I read that and of course shield the concern that many people will experience but I would make a number of points to Ruth Davidson firstly she may or may not be aware that's not mean is any criticism that there was an independent evaluation published in 2015 of CPUs that showed that they are viewed with a degree of confidence by more sheriff's and are seen as an improvement on previous community sentences it's also the cases I see that those given a CPU are less likely to reoffended be reconvicted and again we have statistics that bear that out I think it's also important to see that CPUs can include electronic monitoring sanction if there is non-compliance with them and anyone who breaches a CPU and who fails to take up the opportunity that I non-custodial sentence like that presents for them will find themselves facing sanctions and those sanctions do include imprisonment and in terms of the most recent figures we have for 2014 15 17 % of CPUs we're revoked due to them being breached now again trying to find a lot of consensus here I I actually agree that when somebody commits a crime as well as thinking about how we rehabilitate and reduce the risk of reoffending of course there has to be a punishment element to the sentence that is passed down and we've got to in our policy frémont get that balance right and then we have to entrust the decisions in individual cases to the independent judges and sheriffs who make those decisions my responsibility as First Minister and it's one I take very seriously is to make sure we get the policy framework right and in seeking to do that we will always listen to views and we will certainly always look at the evidence that tale is whether or not non custodial sentences are being effective or not and I would hope all members across the chamber would feed into that but we must also accept that having set the policy framework and set the policy objectives we must trust the independent judiciary to make the decisions that they deem appropriate in individual cases it would be absolutely wrong and I suspect you know in in fairness receivers would probably be one of the first to see it was wrong if I as First Minister started to pass comment on the individual sentences passed down by judges so I think we've got the right framework in place but that is not to see that Fremont is perfect or that it can't be improved and I want to see in all sincerity to members across this chamber that we will continue to consider and to evaluate and we're necessary to make changes in the interests of keeping the public safe and making sure we're doing what we need to do to reduce reoffending question number two cases are do you ask the First Minister when she'll next me out famous Scotland there's no sense with yesterday being what old Alzheimer's day I'd want to pay tribute to the invaluable work that out so much Scotland and the deed other sub sector organisations do to support people with dementia and their carers in our local communities the Minister for mental health will this afternoon speak at the annual National dementia Awards in addition out Samer Scotland's national dementia Keeler's Action Network and the Scottish dementia working group met with meet with the Minister for mental health at least twice a year First Minister for that answer between 2010 and 2015 the Tories cut Scotland's block-grant by five percent that's an economic policy that damages our public services and increases the inequality in our country and it's an economic policy that we should reject does the First Minister agree with me that this Parliament should act as a block to Tory cuts First Minister Kezia Dugdale knows that I agree with that but Kezia Dugdale also knows because we've discussed this many times in the past before we have a debate in this chamber about who in Scotland bears the burden of Tory austerity we should first unite to try to stop Tory austerity happening in the first place now Kezia Dugdale is right to point out that according to the Fraser Islander report the Tories of cut Scotland's budget in the year since 2010 by five percent in real terms but she'll also know that that report looks to the future and says that there is a likelihood of further Tory cuts to Scotland's budget of up to 1.6 billion pounds by the end of this Parliament now we have a new chancellor of the exchequer who has said and I'm prepared at this stage to take him at his word that he's going to reset economic policy so I would hope that Kezia Dugdale with join with those of us on these benches to say to the Tories put an end to austerity put an end to austerity at source and do it now they said that deal Thank You presiding officer I'm glad that the First Minister can agree with me that 20 cuts of 5% are unacceptable so how can it be that today's a Claims Commission report shows that the SNP have cut local council funding not by five percent but by 11 percent the SNP haven't just passed on Tory cuts they have doubled those Tory cuts and the report tells us who is paying the price older people who need help to get washed aren't getting it elderly folk who five years ago would have had help with their meals aren't getting it the number of elderly Scots getting any care at all has fallen by 12% and what's worse is that we know the SNP are planning more cuts to councils and cuts to councils are cuts to care the First Minister has the power to stop these cuts why won't she use it of course in terms of the most recent figures that we have available in terms of the out ton figures Social Work spending is increased by 6% in real terms since its government took office Social Care spending it has increased by five percent in real terms it since 2009 so both of these figures are from 2008 9 until the most recent figures we've got available of course in terms of the report published by the accounts Commission today is an important report and it's got lots of I think very important messages for all of us it says if we keep doing things the same way as we are doing then there will be an additional financial burden on social care services by the end of this Parliament but of course that's why we have integrated health and social care the biggest reform of Health and Social Care Services since the establishment of the National Health Service making sure that we are finding better ways of delivering services at more prevention more community-based services to reduce admissions to hospitals and care homes and of course it was in my party's manifesto I don't think it was included and at Kezia Dugdale manifesto that we're going to invest an additional 1.3 billion pounds over this Parliament in health and social care partnerships the first installment of that of course has been the 250 million pounds transferred into Health and Social Care partnerships in this financial year so we know we face the challenge of an aging population and we are determined on this side of the chamber to face up to and work with local councils to address that challenge but I think the question Kezia Dugdale has to answer is is this one she concedes the the point Kezia Dugdale concedes that one of the pressures the biggest pressure on the scottish government budget is cuts being imposed by a Tory government and yet even although Kezia Dugdale accept that the Tories if Jeremy Corbyn is reelected in Saturday are going to be in power for many many many years she simply expects us to shrug our shoulders and accept that I don't think that's good enough presenting also the First Minister tells the chamber she's put 250 million pounds extra in to health and social care what she forgot to tell the chamber where she took 500 million paise and the truth is the Accounts Commission report tells us that overall spending is falling First Minister in fact it says that these cuts are unsustainable and the truth is they don't have to happen I am only asking Nicola Sturgeon to do what she's wanted to do her entire political life make different choices from the Tories so when she writes her budget in the coming weeks the First Minister will face a choice she can double down with even more cuts to care or she can back Labour's plans to use the powers of this Parliament what's it to be First Minister Kezia Kezia Dugdale doesn't oppose Tory austerity she wants to shift the burden of Tory austerity onto working people the length and breadth of this country seek to her she put that proposition to the people of Scotland just four months ago and she's sitting on that side of the chamber because her party came third in the Scottish Parliament election now we will continue we will continue to face up to the challenges face up to the challenges in our social care services that's why we've integrated Health and Social Care something that in all the years that Labour would empower they shied away from doing it's why we're taking the difficult steps of transferring resources from acute health services into Health and Social Care partnerships to build up the capacity of our social care services and help to develop more community services to keep our older people where appropriate out of hospital and care homes and enable them to stay in their own homes it's why we are taking all of these actions and why we will reflect very carefully on the accounting Commission report to inform the decisions we continue to take these are the serious that this government will continue to tea but I see again to Kezia Dugdale I would ask her to reflect on the position she and her party and then she stands up regularly and says that the future looks to be a Tory future in terms of the Westminster Government and yet she's good enough to come here and lecture me about the implications of Tory cuts that Hart Party are powerless to do anything about the Labour Party the Labour Party is a complete and utter shambles and perhaps should be taking more responsibility for the Tories ability to continue to impose cuts on Scotland question number three patrick harvie thank you to ask the First Minister when the cabinet will next meet Tuesday last week newspaper leveled a serious allegation against the Scottish government SNP pledged to sabotage cuts to benefits for once in my life presiding officer I do hope the Daily Mail have it right the Scottish Greens have published detailed proposals showing how around 13,000 people a year could be protected from the benefits sanctions regime if devolved Employment programs refused to cooperate with that sanctions program and so I welcome the words that we've had from Angela Constance while we can't stop the UK government putting conditions on what related benefits we are not going to be giving them any information or responding to inquiries if we think that might lead to a sanction I welcome that but I'd like to understand the scope of it can the First Minister confirm does that commitment go beyond the already announced voluntary schemes in relation to disabled people and people with long-term health conditions or will this be the universal approach for all people participating in devolved what programs under the Scottish Government thank Patrick Harvie for reasoning an important issue I think Patrick Harvie knows and the tenor of his question which suggests he knows how serious the Scottish Government is in introducing a social security system with the limited social security pose we'll be getting that have dignity and humanity at that heart now I think the sanctions regime imposed by the Tories in its current form breaches those principles and I know that from the many people I see in my surgeries and we will all see these people who have sanctions imposed on them for reasons that they should never ever face those circumstances so as we develop the detail of the system we're putting in place then we want to make sure that we mitigate the effects of that as far as we possibly can and don't cooperate in a scheme that is about piling human misery on human misery now as Patrick Harvey knows we have embarked on at consultations we that will lead to a Social Security Act bill rather in this chamber over the the next year and the the the fine detail of that will flow from the consultation work we are doing but the principles Angela consensus articulated are very very clear and I look forward to having the assistance and cooperation of Patrick Harvey and his colleagues and indeed people from across the chamber or at least from most parts of the chamber in helping us put in place that system that in its detail lives up to the principles that we have articulated I'm grateful for that answer and it does sound as though the first minister has gone further than in the past it does sound as though we're going to see employment programs which are all volunteer and do not impose socially harmful and counterproductive sanctions on people in Scotland another aspect of the consultation the First Minister referred to is around young carers and the need to have an additional allowance that respects and reflects their possession in life and the work that they do does the First Minister also acknowledge that a great deal of the impact will be alleviated on them if we address the financial aspects and ensure that our young carers allowance is seen in financial terms not only in terms of benefits in kind again yes I do agree with the the thrust of Patrick Harvey's question in terms of Employment programs that the point of employment programs should be to help people genuinely help people into work not to put in place a system full of tripwires that they fall over and end up being sanctioned as a result and that will be the ethos behind it the devolved employment programs that we put in place in terms of the young carers allowance Patrick Harvie will know that that was one of the the things from indeed to the game party's manifesto that we have agreed to consider we are in the process of considering how that could best work to give effective help to young carers and did I was just a nice couple of days reading an update on the discussions early discussions we've had around the development of that policy we haven't come to conclusions yet on what the best scheme would be but we will do that shortly and I look forward to another policy from this government that is about recognizing the work that Kyra's do in particularly young carers the impact the key responsibilities have in the life and the responsibility of all of us to help them live a full life notwithstanding those responsibilities and again I look forward to the cooperation of Patrick Harvey and his colleagues as we develop that policy question um before Willy ready to ask the First Minister what issues that we discussed at the next meeting of the cabinet not just of importance to the people of Scotland youth figure sure that children in Scotland can wait two years for mental health treatment the Scottish government promised they would receive treatment within 18 weeks that promise has not been kept this year or last year why is the First Minister letting these children down well again I would city really rainy this is a really important issue and I don't agree with that characterization skaaland was actually the first country in the world I think to introduce a target for access of children and adolescents to mental health treatment we recognise that we have more work to do to make sure that all children and young people get the access to mental health services that we think they deserve we have been increasing investment in mental health services we have been increasing the number of clinicians working in mental health services we've had a substantial increase in the number of psychologists working with young people with mental health issues of course as I think we covered in First Minister's Questions two weeks ago we are seeing a significant rise in demand for those services and well that puts pressure on services with that we have a responsibility to me we should welcome that increase in demand in the head to the extent that it shows that young peep who are no more able to come forward because the stigma on mental health is decreasing so our mental health strategy which we will publish shortly backed by a hundred and fifty million pounds of new resources shows the seriousness with which we take this issue and will continue to take the steps to improve services so that all young people get access that they need and deserve the First Minister says the problem is that more young people are asking for help it's not very problem it's the government's problem for not being ready we saw this coming we have warned about this we've got a plan to invest in primary care emergency services and for young people and what was the response from the SNP government it was to delay spending seventy million pounds available for mental health support because they couldn't get the strategy agreed on time well the first minister commit to spending that seventy million pounds on services for young people today First Minister I think Willie rainy is raising an important issue but I do think he should try to engage with it in a way that will actually help all of us face up to and address this important issue and the first thing that it's not fear of will Iranian I think anybody who's been watching this exchange well no it was not fearful really I need to say that I described more young people coming forward for help as a problem I didn't I said actually that was a good thing that we should welcome and I went on to say it was my responsibility and the responsibility of the government to make sure your services can meet that increased demand so I think to be fair that is is what I said I also set out some of the actions we are taking you know well it only talks about spending we have set out plans to invest an additional 150 million pounds in mental health services at 54 million to reduce waiting times we are going to spend 10 million pounds to support new ways of improving mental health in primary care setting something that to be fair to Willie rainy he's repeatedly raised at 15 million pounds specifically to support better access to children adolescent mental health services and a range of other initiatives that are all about recognizing positively recognizing the increase in demand and making sure we're taking the steps to meet demand I absolutely accept it's for the opposition parties to pressure on the government to scrutinize the government to hold the government to account but I also would hope that on this really vital issue we can try to find a degree of consensus as well I think this is one of the most serious issues we face as a society not just about treating young people with mental health problems but also preventing mental health problems and there's a much bigger discussion of course that we could have about that but the government is absolutely committed to the action when we set out and I hope a genuinely hope will have the support of Willie Rainey as we implement those actions some eventually from any rails Thank You Satan officer to ask the first medicine if she agrees with me that depicting women who serve in public life as sexual predators or and I caught as per excuses for women or Affairs theorem with homophobic slurs can never be excused as amusing satire but as in fact class and deeply offensive yes I do I don't know specifically what comments any Wales's is referring to there but um I if it is the the incident of the weekend then of course well I again this is serious I as a hope everybody would know even my stainless critics would accept that I would never ever can do in homophobia and I I genuinely hope there is nobody across this chamber that would argue with that some of the terminology we've we've heard used in in satire over recent days is this terminology I would never use this terminology I don't condone and it's terminology I can well understand that people would be offended by I also though would say that you know it's it's not appropriate I don't think are not reasonable to describe for example a lesbian woman who's been out as a lesbian for 30 years because she personally isn't offended by some of that as homophobic so let's all unite in condemning homophobia because that I think is what you know were just talking about mental health and some of the the the reasons for her mental health problems with LGBT young people that come from homophobia and homophobic bullying so let's you bring a bit of seriousness to this issue not use all the time and I take responsibility here in these comments are targeted at me and my party as much as it anybody else's but let's not use these things as often to throw things at each other despo laticious let's instead unity is a parliament to see that homophobia has no place in our society and we should all challenge it at all occasions supplementary from Jackie Bailey the First Minister will be aware of the significant support for the community maternity unit at the Vale of Leven Hospital which I was pleased to visit with her in the past will she ensure that the health boards proposal to close the unit is designated as a major service change and therefore must be subject to sign off by Scottish Ministers well as Jackie Bailey knows the the decision about whether a particular service change is deemed a major service change is one that is taken in consultation with the Scottish Health Council those discussions are ongoing in terms of the changes at the Greater Glasgow and clades have put forward and of course the health secretary will ultimately meet that determination once that recommendation has come to her the proposal that Jackie Baillie talks about as well as some of the other service change proposals put forward by Greater Glasgow and Clyde are proposals they must be consulted upon they must be properly considered with the interests of patients absolutely at their heart and of course where they are major service change the ultimate decision will lie with the health secretary and Jackie Bailey talked about a visit some years ago to the community midwifery service at maternity unit sorry at the Vale of Leven Hospital that was at the time of course when as health secretary I was working hard to secure the safe guards at the Vale of Leven which when at the time I took office and this government took office was under serious threat from the labour administration that preceded us through the Vale of Leven hospital got a future because of the decisions this government will taken and we will always act in the interests of local health services supplementary from John Mason a thank you to us the First Minister for her reaction to the death of a young boy I would say to school in my constituency last week and whether she thinks that traffic exclusion zones around schools should be more widely considered well firstly can I see any loss of life in Scotland's Road is a terrible terrible tragedy but the death of a young child is especially poignant and our thoughts are with this young boy's family and friends at this unimaginably awful time for them is of course for local authorities to decide on road safety measures around schools and they do so in consultation with parents and local residents and according to the specific circumstances in which schools are situated innovative measures such as a traffic exclusion zone recently trialed in Haddington as I understand it could certainly be part of those considerations and I would encourage local authorities where it's appropriate to consider proposals like that because one thing I think we would all agree is the safety of children it must be absolutely paramount question number five care of Gibsons Thank You presiding officer to us the First Minister what plans the Scottish government has to honour Scotland to Paralympians well first I'm sure everyone in the chamber and indeed across Scotland is proud of the achievements of the 33 Scottish para athletes who were part of Team GB and the 17 medals which they've brought home to Scotland with them I'm certainly looking forward to welcoming home our Paralympians and Olympians reception next week at aureum our new national sports performance center at heriot-watt University and that event will be followed by a public event at festival square here in Edinburgh and I'm proud ah've we're all proud of all of our Paralympic athletes but if I can maybe perhaps just make a special mention of Libby Clegg and Jill Butterfield because as well as winning their gold medals of course they both also see a new world record something to be doubly proud of have Gibson I thank the First Minister for that answer I'm sure she can call that the success of Team GB she was just so much hard work has been put in by coaches and athletes supported by the families for Scotland to increase its medal tally from 11 in 2012 to 17 this year is really heartening as a strong supporter of this airshow gamal can just the first ministerial a silver medal won by a bikini vlogs swimming 100 meters backstroke is particularly inspirational and to what extent will the new 12 million pounds part of sports facility know being built in large heed Scotland's future Paralympians First Minister I agree entirely with Kenny Gibson's comments about a be keen I became made Team GB at the age of 13 that is an inspiration in itself she then of course when on to when a silver medal in real which is absolutely fantastic and I think she has single-handedly demonstrated a whole generation of young people and young girls in particular what they can achieve by hard work and dedication so I absolutely salute our prowess and her bravery and the sheer delight she's given us all in the competition over the last a couple of weeks in terms of investment we've made a direct investment of 6 million pounds into the overall investment in sports Scotland's national center invocate which will open in spring 2017 this fully inclusive facility has been designed to enable athletes to train and state specifically aid preparations for future games and I'm sure that's something the Kenny Gibson will welcome importantly the centre will also be available to members of the local community and therefore it will also provide a valuable asset to the area to people who may never be Olympic or Paralympic athletes but nevertheless enjoy and should be encouraged to enjoy sport question number 16 Lockhart Thank You presiding officer to ask the First Minister what action the Scottish government is taking to reduce waiting times for young people referred to mental health services in Forth Valley and across Scotland well the continued increase in demand for mental health services for young people shows as I've just been seeing in the past that were far too many children who were unseen and whose needs was unmet to respond to this we have doubled the number of psychologists working in camp services were also investing again as I've just said an additional 150 million pounds over this Parliament and we'll be publishing our new mental health strategy at the end of this year the Minister for mental health has been clear with all NHS boards that any Falls and performance towards our target of ninety percent of young people been seen within 18 weeks is not good enough and that we need to improve that performance 150 million pounds investments and includes almost 5 million pounds for a mental health access improvement team and they have already started work with NHS forth of a leaf in Lockhart I thank the First Minister for that response clearly any additional support to urgently address this concerning situation is to be welcomed however has been made as has been mentioned the the 18 since the 18 week referral time target was introduced in December 2014 the number of young people in NHS Forth Valley who started treatment within this time frame has fallen from 56% to only 28% making this region one of the worst performing in Scotland my concern for us Minister is that this 20% is not just a number it highlights that there are many young people who are in desperate need of support this is the case not just in Forth Valley but across many areas of Scotland and evidence shows that over half of all diagnosable mental health problems start before the age of 14 so it is absolutely vital that young people in my region and in other areas yet the help they so urgently need when they need it well the First Minister therefore listen to the calls from the Scottish Children's Coalition services to develop an urgent action plan for boards that need this urgent support such as NHS Forth Valley and it's not just a question of more money it's a question of more expertise being made available and will to encourage the Minister for mental health to join me and meet with the representatives from the health board to see how we can best address this urgent and concerning situation the Minister for mental health would be of course happy to meet with the member and will discuss these issues with health boards on an ongoing basis a Dean lockhardt is is absolutely right and I think it's something that I and all of us have to constantly remind ourselves off we quote six I regularly quote statistics in this chamber we all do but behind every one of these statistics is a human being and that's a I think a very timely reminder for all of us and that's why it is so important firstly not to see the increase in demand as a problem but to see it as a sign that more young people are coming forward for help that previously they didn't get and then to recognize our responsibility to meet that demand in terms of Forth Valley the performance is unacceptable and that has been made clear to them but Dean lockhardt is also right to make the point that it's not just a bit extra investment although they are receiving a help through extra investment but it is also about expertise which is why I draw his attention to the last part of my first answer to him that we have established a mental health access improvement team and that team has already started working with Forth Valley so that that expertise as well as the additional investment can be brought to bear and bringing these waiting times down in the way that we expect to see these Crawford I thank presenting officer I wonder what the First Minister agree with me that it's probably high time that some members recognized that a huge effort has been Putin on the ground to improve mental health services particularly in Forth Valley for instance in Fort Valley there's been a complete redesign of service with significant additional investment in cans we didn't and beg increase in activity over the past year can the First Minister confirm or extra investment support has been made to help our dedicated professionals who deserve our praise improve their service well I think Crawford is also right that we we have to remember the the dedication of the the people working in the front Lane here they are facing increased demand but the fact that waiting times in some areas are not as good as we would want them to be is not down it to any lack of dedication or hard work on their part that's why I come back to the point our responsibility is to increase capacity to meet that extra demand and in terms of fourth valleys I've already said it's receiving support from our new team and from health care improvement Scotland to help them deliver on the redesign and Bruce Crawford is right to mention that redesign we're also investing an additional 1.3 million pounds in Forth Valley over next four years to support reductions and Wheaton teens specifically and a further seven hundred and twenty five thousand pounds over three years to support innovation in the delivery of cams and that's in addition to the half a million pounds provided this year to the board to support further development in specialist cam services at workforce and delivery so there is intensive efforts be me to support those at the frontline to deliver these services and that will be replicated across Scotland in different ways so that we can see services that are capable of meeting the increased demand that young people are creating by coming forward because the stigma of mental health is thankfully beginning to reduce Monica Leonard Thank You presiding officer could he with the First Minister that progress has been made to reduce the stigma around mental health but we've heard about the the increasing waiting times and there's no escaping that and this week the Scottish health start be revealed a postcode Lord city with children and young people and the most deprived humanities more likely to have lower levels of good mental health last week 10,000 members of their 38° campaigning group took the time to reply to the government's quit Association which caused an Frazee to say more investment as required does the First Minister when sent additional funding is to be welcomes does the First Minister share concerns that I do that 150 million pounds which is all but five years may not be enough and what states will be taken by the mental health minister to keep that under review firstly Monaco in an is right and many of the the point she's made there particularly to draw attention to the the link between deprivation and mental health and that's something that is very very much in our minds as we develop them into health strategy she also referred to a number of people who have submitted views to the strategy the strategy consultation in those views will be taken into account and 150 million pounds investment is for a range of targeted improvements to increase capacity and improve waiting times and you know this is not just about throwing out a particular sum of money it's about dedicated targeted money to deliver specific improvements of course we keep that under review as we implement the new mental health strategy but there is an absolute determination on the part of the mental health minister and on the part of the government as a whole to make sure we have services in Scotland that increase can meet the increased demand for mental health services but I go back to something I said earlier on which I think Monica Lennon was right to hint at is as much about prevention as it is about treatment we've got a bigger debate and we're not alone here a bigger to be as a society about how we improve the mental well-being of young people not just treat the mental health problems of young people and I hope that's something that this Parliament over the life of it really can get its teeth into my grumbles does the First Minister agree with me that the biggest single things you could do to treat this issue is to have a specialist in every surgery across Scotland that's the biggest spend to save initiative she could ever make well we do agree that there needs to be more services in primary care I think indicated that in a previous answer so we are committed to more link workers working in primary care settings to improve the the experience that the patients have there so you know in principle I I do agree with the sentiment of the question it simply caution against the anybody in an issue that is as complex as this one in suggesting that there is one magic bullet solution there are a whole range of things we need to do here to improve prevention but also to improve treatment and access to services that's why the comprehensive holistic strategy that we produced by the end of this year is so important at the point raised bimah crumbles we'll certainly have a part to play in that but there are a whole range of other things we need to do as well that concludes First Minister's Questions we now move to members business I would ask members to leave the chamber quite quietly | The Scottish Parliament | UCMfSH3HULOeoeEbxHkqF21A | 2016-09-22 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 7,826 | 44,084 |
YaEADnVftAQ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaEADnVftAQ | Mick Jagger - excellent Berlin interview (1973) | music now you're enjoying the tune it's been a nice tour so far it's really good how much Machinery is needed these days to get the stones on the road how many people now are involved um well since about sort of 69 we've had quite a large crew the cruise sort of smaller in Europe because you know just from an economic thing that I mean we don't have the money to spend you know on the production that we do in America we try and do the same production with less people and but one of the things is to get set up uh Europe there's a lot of problems because of the just going from one country to the next so and everything's down by Road and you can always get stuck to the Customs the tracks you know with all the equipment and get held up so we've learned not to play back to back which means every day you have a day in between because you know whatever happens but I guess it's about 25. people who are musicians long time yeah do you still get the motivation to get out and go on the road well yeah I mean the motivation's still there and I always wouldn't be out here uh I mean I just like doing it I mean the simple answer for that is you and that's what I do you know so if I don't do that and I don't do anything you know it's a great part of what I want to do which is soon live you know so this is what we do that's what I do that's why we do because you did a lot of recording on the last American tour I think didn't you yeah for a projected album which in fact was never released it was Stevie Wonder yeah we had some really nice things um well it's the great old uh enemy you know the record company you know what our old record company Decker and our old manager Alan Klein they didn't want the live album to come out because they had certain rights on re-recording of material that's already been out you know I another version of you guys get what you want and um there's only ever been one and we had to do that on stage and I like it and they won't let us put it out uh I mean and we offer them money and everything I mean percentage per track and all this stuff but they don't want it out and I it's a drag you know that you can't just recall what you want if it's old and new and then put it out you know I don't like this kind of restrictions it's a very dog in the manger attitude how long is that registration Gonna Keep that oh a long time unless they sort of them see the line and it's not I mean they everyone has something to sort of gain you know and we have to gain because we want to put the record out because we like it they have to game because they can earn money from it but no no I don't understand and I don't claim to understand their attitudes because in terms of recording the band's always stay together for recording purposes none of you have gone off and done seller are saying the way that the people in the who are doing no have you have you felt that you wanted to go off into yourself yeah I've overall wanted to but we've all been so lazy and that's um we've never done it you know I'm really lazy and um you've got this sort of problem though um I mean and this you're really really prolific as a writer you know I I feel that if I did an album on my own what would I hold back what would I Choose You know to put on a stone's album and the same with Keith which ones would we you know you get this position of Holding Back songs and uh it's difficult but I still think that I mean I'd like to do it now I think Keith could do a nice album there's a theory you know we were speaking about a bit earlier on Mick about uh the idea that I've run quite a lot in the press that like people were into the stones in 1963 and the people who are into the band then have kind of grown with the stones and not necessarily been replaced by sort of younger people getting into the band a little bit later on I mean do you think that there is a truth Eric um well not really I mean we we can talk about England or the whole world I suppose I mean I know that certain places um there is a new audience because we've never played there before I mean there's lots of towns on this tour we've never played but I think in England they're not a lot of the people that come to see the band I don't know if they've seen them before but they certainly weren't around 10 years ago around they were four years old some of them then so maybe they did come Babes in Arms you know last night uh I I think if you continue tearing um hopefully you get a renewed audience you keep some or a large part of your old ones but you also pick up new ones along the way that I've never seen you before I think I think this band's done that reasonably world the audience is very very much from country to Country particularly say comparisons between America and Britain yeah and they're truly different but I mean uh unpredictable I mean the audience in London this time was like out there we did three shows some of them were the first one was really quiet which is the one that was all reviewed it was really quite audience but the last one was really not at all it's completely different and um Birmingham which I think you were there the first I was undeniably quiet they I mean we you know they had a good time we we sort of just played you know rather than and sort of tried to sort of rip it to bits kind of thing but the next audience was totally different I suppose you were the same time and they were very up yeah and really young was the first ones were really quite stayed God bless them I mean I don't mind but you can't choose your audience I tell you that's one thing you can't do you have to take the audience that comes and pays and be grateful that you get them yeah because you're recording a lot of goats head in L.A didn't you no no there's all damage it was all done in Jamaica didn't you do some mixing in there no no Brazil down in Jamaica with the other vocals about different places you know but most of it was all done in Jamaica because I was going to lead in with that easy to talk about the music situation yeah because I mean how does the energy level in the music situation and then they compare with say London as a center well I mean I think I think that both sort of great centers of Music really of rock music um hello Ellie's got high and if you want to talk about energy I think it's probably got higher energy level but a lot of great things have come out of both towns but uh they're very enthusiastic in their name audience but um I don't know they stand to be jaded I think you know they're very jaded actually you're really good you know you've got to be out totally outrageous you know um London's got a very bad reputation with bands you know as a sort of quite difficult place to play but I'm really enjoying it this time talk about Angie a little bit Mick because I again I read in one of the musics about three or four weeks ago then in fact Angie was written quite a long time ago now is that true I mean I read that it was written in 64. I didn't I never read that no it was written in uh well last on the last American term well I mean we didn't finish it until this year but we wrote The Melody Keith and the Angie and I wrote the other pictures and that was on that particular one um no it's a new song it's an unusual choice for a single really too isn't it yeah well I thought you know we've uh I didn't really pick it you know to be quite honest it wasn't my sort of pick because I picked Tumbling Dice to be a single and nobody really didn't do that well so um everyone said oh Andrew I think that's a single yeah so I said well I don't know guy I really like dancing Mr D yeah I'm sure we're gonna see later but I really like that one but I thought no I'm not going to sort of uh put my foot down and say this is a single and uh most everyone said I thought they would so so uh I think a ballad you know once every four years is all right let's try again and let's talk about crackers a little bit because I I know very little about the way the band came to be signed to the label who actually saw them first well uh Jimmy Miller was producing them and uh they already had a single out and uh they're done well in America quite well for a first single and um and they said well would you like them for the rest of the world you know and apart from America Associated yeah and that's a really quite a good band they write nice songs and I like the single they got it's really nice there's an album on the way too yeah there's an album should be out very soon it's all done and that's the arm I heard when we were in Jamaica and I thought they were really good band you know so I thought wow I'm I'm tired of not signing bands you know just let's see what happens you know yeah just finally make again going back to something that I read not too long ago in the musics there's a lot of talk about this being the last tour that the standards are going to do is that true wishful thinking oh we've been thinking on that journalists part no I mean I don't really uh I don't know otherwise I would have made an announcement stage but Wednesday or something um uh no I don't think so I think we've got a few more to go yeah Mick Jagger thank you very much thank you | slydogmania | UCtCrW06jNu_fCQymNs3_AzA | 2023-02-23 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 1,879 | 9,229 |

AExRSAGeu1s | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AExRSAGeu1s | What's In Our Food 6 - Carbohydrates - Whole Grains versus Refined Grains | Hi again In this video we're going to continue our discussion on carbohydrates. We're going to focus our attention, however, on cereals which constitute a major portion of our diet. The big idea that we're going to be discussing today relates to whole grains and refined grains and which one of them is better for us. But before we get too deep into that discussion, we need to understand what whole and refined grains actually are? So what are whole grains? Well, these are grains as they grow naturally from the earth. These have not been refined or processed in any manner. If you look at the anatomy of the whole grain it consists of three major components -- bran, germ and endosperm. Now quite clearly we don't have to memorize this but knowing about the three components of the whole grains will help us understand why they are better for us. So, what we're going to do now is run a simulation where we are going to split open the whole grain into two halves and then pinpoint the location of the three components -- the bran, the germ and the endosperm accurately. So here we go. And here is that simulation. What you are looking at now is one half of the whole grain that has been split open into two halves. Now I'm going to drag the mouse pointer over the three different components of the whole grain . The first of which is the bran. The bran forms the outer protective layer of the seed. It contains some important minerals and vitamins and also contains most of the seed's fiber. Fiber is needed to prevent constipation. The second component of the whole grain is the germ. That's the germ right there which is also the reproductive kernel of the seed. The germ contains many helpful minerals and vitamins that our body needs. And finally, that is the endosperm. The endosperm contains the bulk of the seed and this is the part of the seed that provides us with the stored energy. Okay so that simulation provided some detail into the anatomy of the whole grain. We now know that whole grains provide us with energy but also contain bran and germ which in turn have fiber and helpful minerals and vitamins . So what are some of the example of whole grains? Well, here they are. Whole wheat, brown rice, whole rye, rolled oats are all examples of whole grains . Now that we know a little bit about one part out the whole grains versus refined grains debate, let's investigate the other side of it a little bit. What are refined grains? Refined grains are the grains that during the milling process are stripped off of the bran and the germ. This means that they're only left with the endosperm Now, the answer to the question, which grains are better for us -- whole grains or refined grains, is already starting to get clear . Whole grains are better for us because whole grains contain bran and that in turn contains minerals, vitamins and fiber . Whole grains also contain germ which adds important minerals and vitamins to the grain. Refined grains on the other hand have been stripped off of most of their minerals and vitamins and almost all of their fiber . Now there is another important reason why whole grains are better than refined grains. And that can be answered by asking the following question . Which grains, whole or refined, will take a longer to digest ? If you said whole grains will take longer to digest then you're absolutely correct . Think about it . Bran and fiber in the whole grain will make it more difficult for the digestive enzymes to break down the whole grain into glucose . In refined grain, however, bran and germ have already been removed and therefore some of the work of the digestive system is done even before the food goes into our mouths. So the next question we can ask is, so what ? So what if the whole grains are digested more slowly ? Well, since the whole grains are digested more slowly, they will provide a more constant source of energy, making us feel full for longer . This is in contrast to the refined grains, mind you. Refined grains will provide a spike of energy, which is generally followed by an urge to eat again . So now that we know that whole grains are better than refined grains, can you answer the question on your screen ? Which one of the following products is recommended -- white bread or whole wheat brown bread? The answer is whole wheat brown bread and that is because whole wheat brown bread is made of whole wheat. White bread on the other hand is made of the refined wheat. My recommendation in terms of consumption of grains in your diet is that you replace refined grains with whole grains wherever it is possible That may mean consuming a bowl of whole grain cereals in the morning for breakfast . Eating bread that is made of whole grains in the afternoon for lunch . And if you want to indulge in pasta in the evening, then I would recommend that that pasta be made of whole grains or whole wheat. All of these recommendations are based on research backed benefits that can be attributed to whole grains. For instance we now know that eating whole grains substantially lowers bad cholesterol. And we learned in the previous video that that reduces the risk of heart disease. In a Harvard based study, which was conducted over a ten-year period, it was determined that women who ate two to three servings whole grain products each day were 30% less likely to have a heart attack than those who ate less than one serving per day . Eating whole grains also lowers the risk of getting Type II diabetes. This was determined in a study of more than a hundred and sixty thousand women whose health was followed for up your eighteen years. The women who averaged two to three servings of whole grains per day where 30% less likely to have developed Type II diabetes than those who rarely ate whole grains. Sources for all of these can be found by clicking on the link in the video description . Clearly there is a growing body of research available now that shows that eating more whole grains and less refined grains improves health in a variety of ways. The question is, what are you going to do with this information ? | Kunal Chawla | UCfGPocX6PKEftgBq3381cag | 2011-06-13 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 1,115 | 6,111 |
s2dEwnhVCCI | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2dEwnhVCCI | David Yost & Walter Jones Panel Edmonton Expo 2015 | who takes your shirt why of course obviously guys whoa hey welcome to me edmonton comic entertainment expo I'm Tanner I'm a radio host and new cineplex free show host starting next month I changed my shirt obviously because oh Power Rangers yeah how are you how are you hello I think you guys know about boys for David ghost and Walter Emmanuel Jones the original blue and black range although some people see white and gold know is that it's an old joke oh oh stretch all right we off on a bad foot already all right some guys are you doing Dino what time the question is do we know I think it's her oh okay so yeah for anybody I know I'm point out awareness heard already but if anybody is also questioning why I moderate this panel I have a little piece of artwork that my my family dug up I think we get on the screen here Walter saw this already maybe like five six I don't know but I from tanner and then I put I love you mom and then I drew the Red Ranger really good and then it got progressively worse I got really long arms yeah you like a red laser for some reason yeah you look like a cookie monster that's nice though good job but that's it yeah how cool is it that you guys have like inspired you've inspired the generations that people are here today they go up with you what the show is actually Jamie my head thing is is to to figure that it's between two years since we started this open and we are here now in Edmonton Canada here to come out the sea is from all over the place in the interest which is so browse or happy but right David yeah I mean it's so humbling because when we started the show obviously we had no idea that show it have such an amazing impact on so many people's lives and we love when you guys come up and tell us stories about how we the power rangers inspired and become martial artists or scientists or doctors or whatever it is that you became in life that somehow our characters influence your inspired champions it's really an honor and humbling so we love you and we thank you all always been a dream of mine like point2 occurred and they're like all right just walk out of it so it came to today but if you guys do have questions in the audience we do have an aisle night week and I start letting up and we'll get there shortly until there was so many questions we can ask about the show obviously it's a couple seasons you guys run together so I thought we would let the cards decide as far as what questions we we go to so what will this pack up this is more of an open original Mighty Morphin Power Ranger cards let's easy visit trivia cards or another dislike cards of the show so little will do is boil all comers memory that comes to mind you know looking at cast members or certain scenes billing all right let's check it out on his work stored in a very good place all right let's start first owner we got this holographic rita repulsa yeah i got that working with was waiting as she was i guess you guys whenever we really worked with an actress because there was all the japanese footage correct correct yeah so that was an interesting fact we did have a brother worked on the set then work cosmochim say any reliable she would dare show up from but i mean i'll never cheat they've achieved me that when we needed to but yeah Barbara Goodson was a voice of Rita so she was American actors some of you may have met her other cons she travels around every now and then but most of the woman that you see on screen was a Japanese woman that was filmed in Japan with the original series and we just edited into our scalise 20 years after the fact actually so it was it was it cool to kind of seen that I'll come together because you guys only shot I guess the one side of it and you would have saw the episodes completed and so kind of all fit together i was gonna cool experience yeah i think that the weirdest part was walking into a dr and seeing the Rangers do stuff like and they're like okay so you gotta say this they don't going to see what you know like the sickness might have been like a deck here it's done a rock or zach here it's kind of like I gotta that sets it was like sack here it's tougher walk it dead-ends my life it was like that's different okay yeah I mean when we really started the show I don't think we really kind of grasp the concept and then like Walter was saying when we go into a dr which is when we put our voice over the costume character that's sort of how we saw the show you edited together and then we started kind of understanding more about that show is going to be like very clear next up we got the the principal was mr. tennis tournament Rihanna john casick yeah and I remember him like his toupee always helps and every somehow he would knock his toupee off because we have to do that little quiet quaint wet leather laughs all right these cousins been a lot of fun Oh bulk and skull Oh must have stories on that front all those guys are classic they were amazing I mean just talk about a comedy duel I mean they they came together in the original pilot we had a dif cult I mean that skull was a little confetti was like scarier I guess and when they brought in the news go that's remember that they won and he came I was like by the way they start working on her comedy like when it was sticking together they just amazing i'm so happy we had them on hand yeah i mean they're both like really talented amazing actors and Jason Darby who did play school went on to become a voice of dr. theater knows so he teaches theater image I think he's back in Chicago at a college so yeah I mean it's pretty it was great working with them they're funny they come up with stuff that I can't even imagine and physically talented i mean like we consider the bulk was actually they got to have here in a very beginning he did all kinds of stuff there was a one episode where we had a dance off every and i got to do at its face ain't get spins and we didn't know what we were going to do it first he said I was so we gotta what are you gonna do is say okay I thought about I'll do this up a dance first hip-hop hedo and then he did his version just made it up on the spot and and then I did some turns and he did a couple he actually got in like two living ended up in some weird position and then I just had to do a handstand on the bar I had to flip over the bar like get all his weight over the bar come up in and after all over but the fact that he was able to do all that at such a heavy weight was pretty amazing he's very talented next we have us we got a cast a cast photo yours are hanging out on yours at the ramp oh yeah algun Billy's garage what it is another rat bug guard this is a terrible pack it's like all the same like a to Vulcan skulls like a to rat bug card how's that card car though had a smokestack on it and somehow that smokestack made apply

through so much together starting on the show to the audition process and we just share this amazing moment of starting our careers really together getting on a successful show so it's awesome I guess the last one is just I don't even remember this in the show it's a real it was like a stuff saber-toothed tiger must be the same to Tiger the same wishes on your head so it's funny because I did was I didn't show ya Tweety yellow ranger so I'm like the Dagda sexual where the CW show in the original pilot you see it briefly when we go oh you're going sequins so they would show the am on the net whatever nice because I could use the young picture so I think that those cards like you said are dusty their peridot probably a first edition release also they use pictures of us that like my character never ever looked like eyeglasses that I never ever worn the show up but there's tons of pictures of yeah okay yeah and then of course when you guys are assigned your Zords and all the thing about it must be like the whole your whole lives now it's like every time someone sees like a triceratops or a mastodon there like a check so they probably tweet you pictures as though for sure absolutely and as you know I hit like I actually I was in the Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller and i think i actually did you picture the Triceratops for some weird reason i was like nothing that you did

happen let's do it make it happen we'll do it for him so first off I would say hi guys I a little bit along when your question but I've read articles why you guys left and what not and then you guys weren't treated fairly why not I don't wanna get into that but it's what I asked you guys how do you guys feel now 20 years later that it's still running does that guy is like does that make you guys feel any better about it then how do you guys feel good conventions now when you're asleep it's a great question so 20 years later how do I feel about what I left or just how i feel about this show success no no wonder you left which is how the fandom has exploded like does that make you feel better about the whole situation in general well I mean obviously for us for me like this is a huge unexpected gift absolutely so when I started the show never in a million years what I have ever thought the show had the popularity that I have and that Here I am 22 years later getting to meet people when they were kids that watched us Canada in Canada oh yeah you guys try to banish since this country but too violent for us directly but uh you know that we that we get to meet you all these years later I mean that's that's like a gift so yes for me like it eases some of the bad experiences that I had on the show it makes it better for me because I am truly honored like I said and truly humbled by you guys I'd love to hear your stories and the fact that I get to travel around the world and meet fans from all over the world is really excited and so I take it to heart it means a lot to me I'm pretty sure Walter fills similar but he can tell you I do I thought I like ethos but i'll add to this the fact that the show is in our union show so and which is part of the reason why i love to show beginning and it spilled on TV show which is pretty amazing thing but at this point like the fact that we are here again 22 years later and and getting a meet and greet all the fans from a nice filly it's like it does make everything in a way it's like that the the effect the show had on people and general discounts everything else to it it's like that's worth more than any other gift I could get because the fact that i can say hello to someone and just be nice the person that I am be kind anybody that is a fan of the show and then have that have an effect on them that's so positive and such a princess a positive light to them what an amazing gift of me so yeah it's awesome that's awesome thanks guys thank you hey sorry i was with you guys know hey we morf together there's an episode of powering your crops how fun did you have and the second part is for walther hip-hop keto an itsy bitsy spider that episode was that your own move somebody else come up with it well in insanity spider when I oh that was awesome so power in your bunks obviously anytime that you get a break away from your normal character is a lot of fun as an actor because you get to experiment and gross so that was the episode that image on I became punks and drank a little potion and it screwed us up so there's a lot of fun you know I enjoy playing Billy Billy was a challenge for me a lot of ways because he uses big words and so I had to look words up in the dictionary as an actor to try to figure out what i was saying so when i get to go off and play a tough guy sort of so to speak it was was a lot of fun so I enjoyed that there's a lot of fun seeing him play a role cuz he he was like it was new was I you know even playing Billy or so long and also he was like some other character like my I mean I was like oh my god you know it's cool they both made yeah thank you as far as itsy-bitsy spiders discern it was a paquita was something I had to completely make up on my own because they could you know there were no martial arts that are artists air that go okay your dad like this and then you do this it was like I had to figure out how to make dancing and hip-hop and acrobatics work together so how do you think my my how about I make this into a group leader and in that particular episode had to create a cada for the kids so that was challenging and I expensive telegenic to pull it together and and I you know I had a friendly and it was that on the in the original pilot had it coming visit said and who's a dancer and I was like I what you think what there's she like that sucks okay what do you think about how I could do this she look like that worked and I happen when I can help me collaborate when and pretty much was all my creation thank you thank you very question actually with us speaking a red ranger and a pug ki dosti prettiness last weekend in the Saskatoon comic dirty man expo and I asked most are going to be with you guys next weekend you got you dirt and all he said was just get Walter do the hip-hop you know he loves doing that you know loved it it's a thing that comes natural world champion salsa salsa will chat Canadians in fact if you want see won't dance for the stars no no that's right infinite ours or do that exactly oh my god a bus had literally about kilo before we get out of here so I guess that was a part of a part of the roles that you guys actually are a hue your backgrounds before you got got the spots very physical received a lot that's tough there was no real stunt doubles like you were doing the kicks and all that sexy I guess the dancing did play a big role it was part of the audition process yeah when I looking for the characters act here we're looking for somebody to make a do martial arts gymnastics and dance and creative monkeyed Oh David he had to be a gymnast right you had to be yeah monday obviously one of the cast's be physical obviously Billy didn't start off fighting and flipping too much to get to learn and you start flipping all over quite early here comes Billy it goes Billy I think was the only like super nintendo game because you get the overalls on the character have it and it was like yeah all right good to me all right obviously I love the show that's why I'm here but I have a really random question for you guys what's in your Starbucks drink David uh well it's a grommet cuz it's from starbucks grande soy no foam decaf latte any exciting huh oh yeah I have to pee really dude in Canada instead of saying no foam do you guys say what No okay well my name in England and I can't remember what other country I was in there like oh no you just say it's what I was like okay so i did nothing goes to bed room or like cappuccino my question is if you know if you are making a TV series of marshall mixed with pop culture during the 90s when you were young did we know if that's what the show was gonna end up being yeah I don't know that we knew would become part of pop culture um we sort of had an idea obviously because when they were cast in the show that they needed martial artists and gymnasts and dancers so we kind of had a concept of there would be some elements in that but for me I don't think I really understood the show until I actually got to see the the original pilot cut together like it didn't make any sense to me when I read in a script I was like one and then and then you can see how it how it came and then the fact that you guys love it and you you soaked up the superhero aspect the dinosaurs just like five different kids from different ethnic

N7hQaxyFOpM | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7hQaxyFOpM | ISLR: Resampling Methods Part 1 (islr04 5) | so I'm just working like I was telling Ron off of the viewer um because I didn't you know make the pull request yeah because I keep finding errors so um is the font good sound good everything's good to me same here all good sounds good okay so um we're doing chapter five today resampling methods and um I've added some learning objectives so the big picture here is we're going to learn about two resampling methods one is cross-validation and then the bootstrap right and so both of these refit a model to samples formed from the training set and this is to obtain additional information about the fitted model right so for example cross validation provides estimates of the tested prediction error right and the bootstrap is generally for standard deviation and bias of parameter estimates or some sort of estimator of uncertainty in in a parameter estimate so remember that the training error rate is often quite different right from the test error rate and can dramatically underestimate it so I got this off of the slides on the islr website and so remember based on model complexity where you have low and then High here on the right hand side this is the prediction error for the training sample and as model complexity increases that decreases very very much right and so but the the test error rate does not and it shows this uh kind of characteristic inverted U curve right and this is um having to do with um you know on this and you have high biased very low variance and as model complexity increases you have low bias but very high variants and those are the two things that we're working on when optimizing these things um so the best solution really is to have a large test set right but that's not often available and so there are methods like the AIC and Bic which I haven't researched as much maybe you guys are familiar with it but those make mathematical adjustments to the training error in order to estimate the test error rate right but here we're looking at methods that actually estimate the test error by holding out a subset of the training observations from the fitting or training process and then you apply the statistical learning method to the held out observations right so in this chapter we're going to use a validation ship to estimate the test error of a predictive model uh same for leave one out cross validation and then similar capable cross-validation and then we'll use the bootstrap to obtain standard errors of an estimate in our example and then um also kind of briefly describe the advantages and disadvantages of various methods for estimating this model test error also known as the prediction error so okay so the validation set approach um this pretty much involved you know randomly splitting the data into a training set and validation set um and also note that in certain applications such as like time series analysis it's not feasible to just randomly split the data right and I'm assuming because these are ordered uh by time so the advantage of the validation set approach is that it's very conceptually simple to understand and to implement right but the validation error rate is very variable because this depends on the assignment of the training and the validation set so which data points when to where right so additionally we are giving up valuable data points because we're not using all the data to estimate the model right so the validation error rate is going to tend to overestimate the test error rate so um here is figure 5.2 right and so you see here on the left the validation set approach used to estimate the test mean squared error here on the y-axis from predicting miles per gallon as a polynomial function of force of power and that's from the I think Auto or cars data set right and you can see that um as a degree of polynomial increases the MSC decreases right um but if you look over here these are different tests and training splits and I mean look at the variability right um and that's that's largely just a function of you know what data points went into each of the sets okay so given that um this leave one out cross validation aims to address some of these drawbacks and um it's very similar to the validation set approach but um so you also split into a training set in a validation set but the validation set includes only one observation hence the name right you leave one out and the training set includes all of the others and so um you repeat this process for all of the observations that you have right so that you estimate n models and so with this approach you have a large training set right and that avoids the problems of not using almost all of the data for fitting the model right but the error is going to be highly variable because it consists of only one observation right although it is largely unbiased and so I think unbiased here means that it's almost a perfect fit right for them all you're just leaving out one observation from the training data and the leave one out cross-validation estimate of the test error is in average across over all of the N models and is given by this formula right so this is just the average of the difference between the data point and the estimated so the squared error um okay we go up to there very good yeah very clear no Pro so what are the advantages of this leave one out cross validation over this validation State approach that we saw at the very beginning so there are several advantages right so it has a lot less bias since the models are repeatedly fitted on slightly different data sets right so it tends to not overestimate the test error as much as this validation set approach um and also the test error is almost always going to be the same right um when it's performed on the entire data set okay I don't know if they mean okay well whatever that means okay the major disadvantage right of leave one now across Valley computationally expensive because you're fitting all of these models right but there's a special case where you can save some computational power and so this is for least squares linear or polynomial regression right you can use this formula and it makes the cost of estimating all of these uh models the same as for a single model fit and essentially this is almost the same but here you are normalizing or dividing by this term here where H1 is the leverage right for a given residual and this was defined earlier in chapter three and this is for a simple linear regression so this value of H1 Falls between one over n and so any observations whose residuals have high leverage will contribute to relatively more to the CV statistic okay um in general leave one out cross-validation can be used for various kinds of models right including many of the ones that we've already seen so all of the linear regressions and then the glms that we went over for classification I think Sunday what they meant when they said that they are the test area is always the same it's simply that there's no Randomness involved you're just the the estimated test there is always the same number because with the same data that is right you're not randomly selecting anything you're just going to use leaving one out see questions that's true so they can't add a whole lot to editing yeah yeah that makes sense that's all they're saying thank you alrighty okay so keyfold cross-validation is an alternative to this leave went out cross validation and this just involves dividing the data set into K groups for folds right and approximately they're all equal size so the percent of the data set that is in the validation set can be thought of as one over K right so for example if you have an k equal to five groups then 20 of the data would be withheld for testing so I think this is where that 80 20 division might come from but so hold on to that thought um so just a graphical illustration of the k-fold approach right you're dividing into equal parts and then um you're using one of the folds as a as your test set right um so this leave one out cross validation is actually a special case of k-fold cross-validation where your K was equal to n right and then the equation for the cross-validation error rate for a k-fold approach is given by 1 over K and average of the mean squared error Okay so so what are the advantages of this k-fold cross-validation over leave one out right so the main advantage is computational right but there are other advantages that are related to the bias variance trade-off right so in the figure below you have we have the true test error for the simulated data sets from chapter two so and I think that was just fitting different polynomial functions to different data sets that they had to simulated um and so here you can see that the estimated test errors uh let me see so the true test error for this specific data set right is shown in blue and that's that inverted new typical shape for the test there the leave one out cross validation error is this Dash black line right and the tenfold cross-validation error is orange so definitely underestimating it in this first panel right but not terrible and then for different data sets it just looks a little bit better the one thing that the book did sort of mention was that even though sometimes it overestimates and or underestimates some of the models right it gets pretty close to detecting the true you know like flexibility of which model to use for example if you're fitting polynomials right so if this is the true test error and it's about polynomial five this is I mean a little bit higher but probably it's not as variable through those degrees of polynomials like as in the means greater is not going to increase that much um yeah okay so what is this bias variance trade-off right for this k-fold cross-validation so the validation approach right where you're just dividing randomly into trading and testing uh tends to overestimate the true test error but there is low variance in the estimate since we have just one estimate of the test area so this was actually in the book down and I'm not entirely sure I think that I mean the statement is true but one estimate of the test error just doesn't explain uh why there would be low variance right there is just one estimate of the variance so how can it be lower high so I'm not entirely sure if this statement is correct um but let's just keep going so if anyone has any thoughts on that um please you know pipe up um conversely the leave one notch validation method has very little bias right since you're using all about One observation to create the model um but this leave one across my religion sort of doesn't shake up the data enough right the estimates for each of the CV over the end models are highly correlated right and so the mean can have a high variance and in the book they just explain that as correlated I guess whatever it is if you have high correlations then things tend to have high variance I'm not entirely sure why that is um but that was our explanation so a better choice to this leave one out cross-validation is using uh k-fold cross-validations with k equals 5 or k equals 10 right so this is often used in modeling because it has been empirically demonstrated to yield results that do not have either too much bias or variance and so uh remember we're talking about the 80 20. I think this is probably where that idea comes from so that would be a k equals five um we're using a 80 20 split of the data okay shall we move on from this slide we've got a couple thoughts about the especially that second uh High variance Point um I was actually gonna that was the one question I was going to bring up uh should I discuss it now or should we uh yeah okay we have time yeah I had questions about that too and I I was thinking about it and trying to imagine what it means intuitively and I think I think it makes sense in the sense that like um if you have a bunch of observations that kind of all move together if if one of them if like sample the sample uh kind of like um I don't know like like there's something different about the sample that all kind of move together um and the the me the means will like shift a lot depending on the characteristics of the data you have like I guess like I don't know that's how I was thinking about it um like the relationship between High correlation and the means having high variance um right right because there would be some kind of trend right in the mm-hmm like okay I think I mean I mean I think like the other part of it is like looking at a formula and like trying to figure out why that's true but I think I don't know I was trying to get an intuitive explanation I think I think that makes sense to me but uh I don't know I was wondering what other people thought about that right I I can only confirm that I also I found this section clear as mud so to speak um and I kind of hoped that it wasn't too important I have a complete understanding of it to continue on because I don't know that I will get a complete understanding like I have a very shallow understanding of what they're saying yeah sure I kind of get that you know the correlation between the different estimates of the error are going to cause that to have uh you know more variance but how exactly that happens not not so much right right so I can only say that I join you in confusion okay then the first the first low variance point and the first bullet um I don't know my my only thought is like if you have repeated samples from a population and then you're doing this cross-validation approach um just that if you have just a one validation test set and you're just doing a train test split a single test set then you just have more data and so there's going to be less variance sample this like kind of test set to test that uh yeah uh that's that's the only thought I have on that um so like it's a more stable stable uh set of data or so I close more closely resembling the population all right oh okay maybe I told the misunderstood and so okay so this validation set approach would have been dividing say that you divide the data in half right so you have 50 to train and then 50 to test right your prediction error and you would do that I guess you would do that yeah or no I don't know what they mean I thought they meant by the validation approach just a single validation set um uh yeah maybe maybe yeah yeah okay not that anyone really does that but uh you know or at least in terms of choosing a model you would you know do the K like I don't know I've never heard anyone just like training once but um yeah yeah yeah yeah exactly because then the thing that I'm describing would be like a k of two right but you could repeat that yeah yeah yeah right right right um yeah I mean like you'd still have I think in most cases like a test set that you would uh evaluate the final model that you choose on um but that you would do kind of k-fold cross-validation on the train set um just don't know what you choose the best model and the best parameters right right okay yeah that makes sense okay so let's uh my cursor would go okay next slide um okay so cross validation on classification problems so we've been looking at the regression setting right where Y is quantitative but you can also use the square validation for classification problems where Y is qualitative um and so here you use the number of misclassified observations instead of the mean squared error right to quantify the test error and the leave went out cross-validation error rate takes the form um in this equation and the error is just uh what is the sign like I guess the set of observations where you're misclassifying right so where your prediction is not the actual value um forget what capital I means but it's indicator indicator okay yeah thank you it's like one or zero or something yeah it turns true or false into one to zero [Music] that makes sense [Music] your regression based decision boundaries and k-fold cross-validations for some of these data sets right um so these are just different degrees of polynomials fit to Hey Kevin it's your oranges blueberries I just realized that oh yeah yeah okay so here they're showing uh estimated decision boundaries of different you know polynomial logistic regression models for simulated data right and uh the base decision boundary is the dash purple line so in practice you know the true test error and the base error rate are unknown so we need to estimate the test error rates um so this can be done via k-fold cross-validation which is often a good estimate of the true test there so here um on the left hand side I think this is just the yeah tenfold cross-validation error right so the test error here is in beige uh the training error rate is in blue and what is black oh the tenfold cross-validation error rate is in Black oh got it sorry so this is for polynomial Logistics regression and this is for KN and classification so I guess it's actually not bad um yeah again underestimating a bit but it's not awfully bad um okay so now on to this final section on the bootstrap right so the bootstrap can be used in a wide variety of modeling Frameworks to estimate the uncertainty associated with a given estimator so for example the bootstrap is useful to estimate the standard errors of the coefficients for a linear regression right you can also get bootstrap confidence interval for the parameters and it essentially involves repeated sampling with replacement from the original data set to form a distribution of the statistic in question okay so I sort of expanded this last slide to give a little bit more context so it's just a simple bootstrap example this is directly from the text right so uh the example is that we want to invest a fixed sum of money into Financial assets that yield returns of X and Y respectively right and so we're going to invest a fraction of our money Alpha into X and invest the rest one minus Alpha into y so because there is some variability associated with the Returns on the two assets we want to choose Alpha right to minimize the total risk or the variance of our investment so this is essentially what we want to minimize the variance of a times X Plus 1 minus Alpha and why right so the value of alpha that minimizes the risk is given by this right equation and then these are just um these terms are just the variance of X the variance of Y and the covariance of X Y so these quantities right here are actually unknown right but we can estimate them from a data set that contains measurements of X and Y so the first thing that they do in the book is sort of simulate 100 pairs of data points x y from like the original true population so they do this four times right and then they got different four values of uh Alpha hat so the estimate that range from 0.5 3 2 to 0.657 right so now we want to know like great so but how accurate right is this as an estimate of the true Alpha right so what you can do is you can get the standard deviation of this estimate right so you run the exact same simulation as above but you do it a thousand times and now you get a thousand values of alpha hat so a thousand estimates for Alpha they knew the true value of alpha to be 0.6 right and then if you take the mean overall a thousand excellents of alpha those Alpha hats right uh it comes out to 0.596 so it's really really close right and if you then compute the standard deviation for the estimate which is given by this equation it returns 0.083 so this actually gives a fairly good estimate of the accuracy of alpha right because we expect our Alpha hats to differ from alpha by around 0.08 okay so for real data though right we cannot generate new samples from from the true population I mean that would be great if you could just get more samples but oftentimes that is not the case right so in this case it's where you want to use the bootstrap sorry so here you can see uh this is like the true distribution of the mean of alpha right from a thousand samples that were taken from the true population and there this pink line is Alpha right and in the middle you see the bootstrap distribution right so a thousand samples taken from the original sample right not from the true population and the estimate for Alpha is pretty similar as it almost as if you had generated more samples from the true population and then um here on the far right you have uh the variability of Alpha and the spread is very very similar between the two so the bootstrap and the two population distribution so they look very similar and with very comparable estimates for L which is really nice okay and then finally how to compute this bootstrap standard error right so the bootstrap standard error functions as an estimate of the standard error of the alpha hat the estimated from the original data set and it's given by this equation below right um so B is the number of bootstrap samples so a thousand times this is how we did it the asterisk here indicates that it's a boost bootstrap estimate of alpha hat right and then this term 1 over B the sum of R Prime to B uh of alpha hat asterisk R Prime is just the mean of this term so it came out to about 0.087 in our example right and then if you compare this to the estimate that we obtain using actual like true new samples from the true population it's very similar in the estimate and actually the equations after I looked at them I'm like okay this almost exactly the same because this is just the mean of Alpha and this is also the mean right for this specific um for Alpha hat so yeah I think that that was it yeah the rest is lab so I'ma stop share and we are actually half an hour early so so next time is the lab are you gonna cover that partners yeah I can't because I'm going to be traveling I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to make the meeting but try um if it's not super long um the other thing that I was thinking was um if we each work on it and then you know bring up something to talk about that either you had a question on or a problem on or sounds good to me yeah I like that uh approach okay byoq bring your own questions yeah um I like that a lot uh is that okay with everyone else yeah it looks well me too okay thank you for being flexible I I can try and prepare something you know but I don't know how much time I'd have to like actually go through the whole thing and then um yeah I think that's fine um yeah I just put that in there as uh bring your own questions um yeah a really awesome job Sandra this is great uh yeah it was a very short fairly straightforward um chapter so I was super excited and then I learned how to do all of this uh formatting in our with for all of the equations which took me a long time but I'm glad I I did it so yeah one thing I uh one thought I had about the bootstrap that I was curious what you guys thought about was um I don't know whenever I hear about fruit bootstrap approaches like to estimating you know error I uh in like uh you know an estimate or something um or a pram you know or an uh coefficient um I think like it must be really important to have your uh to be sure that you're sample that you're doing that from is a representative sample because like I feel like bootstrap more than anything else can they like like exacerbate some kind of bias if it's in the data set you know um at least that's like how it feels to me when I read about it I'm not sure if that's actually if it actually has more well it's important for bias but for other contexts but it just feels like because you're sampling over and over again like it it could uh kind of make that that uh that bias louder or just it seems that way to me but um also it's very important that the samples are independent that's the assumption if there is some hidden dependence between your samples that's a problem independently distributed or whatever the word is IID what is it yeah and uh and yeah I guess just independent right independent observations independent and academically identically that's it I couldn't think of I was yeah I see it's IID right so they always forget where they had letters there yeah yeah yeah yeah independent identically yeah yeah yeah I guess the other thing in um well you're assuming that you're assuming that this you're basically taking the sample distribution as the truth distribution right that's like just imagine like little Delta functions at each sample point and so that so anything that where that's not a good assumption you know right right yeah there's actually quite a bit about this on the Wikipedia page which I highly recommend looking at there's a Wikipedia page on this recently bootstrapping bootstrapping sorry yeah I'll check that out all right can I hear my screen quickly uh there was just something that was kind of relevant um to this chapter and I just came across it on Twitter and I thought it was kind of neat um can you guys see this um yeah this is a tweet about reproducibility and machine learning research um and like we could just it's talking about like a reproducibility reproducibility crisis and machine learning just like everything else I guess is a reproducibility crisis and um in Hindi he like kind of gave the screenshot of this review of these different papers from different fields and I was trying to make it bigger let me actually uh see if I can open in another Tab and then Zoom okay there we go oh cool so uh so there's different fields right and these different papers and years and you know all within the last 10 years it looks like or five years even except for this one and uh and then they talk it they haven't listed here what the pitfalls are and I thought it was super interesting like they're all pretty much like either about uh you know validation sets or like leakage between the two sets um so it's like no train chest split no train chat split duplicates across the training test split sampling bias pre-processing on training test sets together known training tests but temporal leakage duplicate across train tests but not Independence between train attacks as Steve selection on train attacks I'm going to train tests and trains that split you know it's it's like all about these uh um you know this is this kind of problems that if you don't do this kind of this uh yeah this uh this methodology well with you know uh trained test splits and you know training on just your train set and evaluating on a kind of a held out set then um you can have problems for for reproducing those findings um I know what temporal leakage is sounds like something happens on back to the future I think it might I think yeah I think it just might be like a Time series data set um if you're like forecasting or something I would guess um and you're you're you're grabbing data from the feature in your train set and then you're forecasting so like you you don't you don't like um you don't predict you don't train on historical and predict on the later observations so that makes sense I think that's what that means so like you you have like a mixture of like past and future or past and present or whatever like whatever you're like you're not uh like ideally I think in Time series forecasting you have a method where you're training and test sets are non-overlapping in terms of time and in your your training on uh all your training data is before your tax data and time because if not then you then you're you know what's going to happen in the future in your in your train set right and then if you're forecasting you're kind of cheating um uh yeah I see I see yeah you can predict it's predicting the future in some sense exactly like if you already know the future yeah then it doesn't it's not a True Flight you can't yeah yeah like there's uh there's a um time series graph like the time series cross validation there's some good graphs so like you would do something like this where um where you you uh you kind of like build up your uh you build up your train set over time and your task set is always like the last month yeah and then you and then this is how you do cross validation cool Kevin would you mind going back to the previous screen that you were showing with the results yeah okay so this is um each of these for example is this field paper right so in this paper the for the field of Medicine Bow Meester whatever right so within this specific I'm guessing Metal review they looked at 71 papers and then found 27 with pitfalls then the pitfalls most largely no train test display I think so yeah that's right so yeah they seemed like yeah they have to be some sort of meta-analysis I guess uh yeah would you mind clicking on can you scroll down and then go to something like um maybe this uh neuropsychiatry can you click on that poll drag is it a link uh I think maybe in this here okay let's see oh yeah here it is uh neuro Psychiatry yeah but I think that's Russ Paul drug yeah studies so it seems like they're reviewing a bunch of papers and I'm offering recommendations for how to improve uh yeah yeah through the disability okay okay so I guess this website might be like a kind of a Meta Meta analysis yes yes yes yes so they're seeing it by field I'm just looking at you know some of it is not looking good like uh especially like a you know this neuropsychiatry like half of them right are showing some kind of a pitfall oh yeah I don't think this train test splitting is as universally used in science as it is for example in some of the softer sizes I guess I can so the heart of the science the less likely people use this train to I've never heard I mean all my careers of physicists I've never used any kind of cross-validation you know we just put Chris is different we're fitting scientific models it's like looking at the parameters and scientific models and you're judging the validity of the scientific model on other criteria not um that kind of cross-validation approach it's kind of like the next experiment we'll test it right so use you're more likely use like goodness chi-square type things to evaluate the model rather than um you know how unlikely is this fit kind of thing not cross-validation types I don't think it's hard to imagine how you use thinking back that's hard to imagine how I would ever use cross validation in that context so I don't think it's very necessary for all of these these no test train split um I mean a lot of people don't use this kind of cross validation for some types of things right yeah I think this is ml these are ml papers though um I think uh oh okay it's like this reproducibility ml based science I know I feel like this what is happening in the world is that the ml is like broadening it's anything like a curve fit is that machine learning thing all of a sudden right so I I feel like and it's probably the people in these fields fall too because they want to see relevant like oh I'm doing machine learning I'm not doing carpeting so I'm you know I'm learning my parameters not fitting them you know so yeah that might just be my own bias of course but yeah because I'm old that's my oldness actually I I think that you're right that it also varies by field like for example like um I am working on bioinformatics right and so I mean there's a lot of parameters that you can set every which way you know what I mean but you have to validate with a different technique and so oftentimes just publishing you know like bioinformatic results by the data set um is not I mean you can publish it as a as a resource right but it's not going to be high impact so it's sort of like you would need follow-up studies to really see okay so these are the genes that we found and it says you know this function is affected now you have to test it right some somehow so usually like in a Cell line or in an animal model or something and so that sort of validates independently like the bioinformatic analysis but you know there are Fields like for example um I don't want to point fingers either but like psychology or stuff like that where you know you have tons of predictors like observations um it could be you know like you're looking at educational attainment in you know schools and everything is you know embedded within classrooms and so yeah you so it's like a whole bunch of things that then you can't really test somewhere else and so I guess you know that's where you know that you have to be really really proper in evaluating your models and your fit and how you do like all of this cross validation to get estimates of you know is it really you know measuring what it is that you say it's measuring um so yeah because otherwise unless you can generate another whole test it or more data points and oftentimes it's very time consuming and very expensive um I'm guessing it's just relying on on the modeling as opposed to yeah a separate test validation yeah I I think uh I don't know maybe some of what we're saying too is the difference in some cases between like an inference problem and a prediction problem like like um like if you're just trying to understand the effect of a single Factor on an outcome you know maybe that's a different I'm just trying to think like what does cross-validation give you and that I guess it's saying like with repeated sampling does that affect hold up or like how how variable is that effect I think that's a good point yeah maybe that's maybe that's the difference because there are other ways to evaluate models rather than cross-validations right right or or I think in like the social sciences a lot of the time it's like okay let's run a bigger study with more people and try to see if it still applies it still holds up and um I think like that's the validation approach for for inference um a lot of the time but um I don't know like yeah um it's interesting like I think like the stuff we talked about in this chapter is largely geared around situations where you want to make the best predictions you possibly can and you're just you have a few models that you can't that are candidates and you want to choose the best one that is going to work well in unseen data you know um and like it makes a whole lot of sense for that kind of scenario and it's a little bit I think fuzzier if you have different goals maybe yeah yeah but the other thing I think is cool is that um when I saw that review that uh I think a lot of those problems it's really hard to make those errors when you're using tidy models I think it's like built it's like built so you like it's almost impossible to make errors like that um you know the way the workflows work and um uh the way it Like Trains on like a kind of computes like that does the pre-processing on train sets and stuff and it's really easy to set up a workflow where you you you you never touch the Caps ads at all and I think that's like one one advantage until then and uh I think it's one advantage of using tiny models and uh like I think they talk about like trying to bacon good statistical practice to the API and you know how the workflow kind of goes and I think that's one area where it's really strong um with like our sample there's a package called our sample um it works with that to um um you know do it do a split and then kind of you and then you do kind of everything you know the k-fold everything uh however doing cross-validation all on that train set you you pre-process and bake you know and like train the pre-processing if you need to do any training on that um you know all on that on that test set or train set sorry um and then use those like pre-computed values to you know if you're going to do uh if you want to do go do the predictions um so anyway I think it I think it makes it makes it makes it really hard to make errors like that um which is interesting part of their goal um but I was like kind of surprised I was looking for I was looking at some of the lab questions and one of the things I noticed we could talk about it next week but um uh I guess like uh oh never mind I missed it I thought that they were doing their kind of cross-validation on um oh I guess so like for leave one out cross validation that so they're doing it on the entire Auto data set um which I didn't expect like I thought they would still do a train test split and then do leave one out cross validation on the entire train set um I don't know it just seems weird to me that you're that you're doing cross-validation on you don't have any asset that like let's say you do leave one out crop validation you choose the right level of flexibility in your model what where do you like what do you use for your final about the prediction like like uh evaluation and error that model that you choose you know you don't have any data left well the lead one out does give you an error estimate it seems like it's pretty good right compared to compared to k-fold and everything else right better yeah they said kfo was better in many cases but they in the lab they do leave one not leave one out as a k-fold just leaving out but even one right yeah and even but even in case in cave folds they're still using the entire data set for case holds oh okay well that's like this is my only experience with this so that made sense to me so it's not weird to me but if you have some others sources that they actually take a set yeah a training set and they k-fold on that so it's like another yeah now you're doing it exactly now you're doing a split to five on that and then when you're done with all that then you do it on another yeah that makes sense when you're talking about talking about the tiny models approach like a lot of their examples are are like that so like you like pretty much everything they do you always do a training test split and then you do all your cross validation all your model tuning everything you want to do you know on the k-fold within that train and then if you choose a final model then you fit on the entire train set with that final model and then you evaluate that of a test data oh so it's like a multi-step process interesting exactly exactly so like you benefit an end from the entire train set in terms of the the um uh like the model training part like you're using the entire 80 or whatever um in order and then before you do your predictions on the patsa um but I guess that's not how everyone does it um I just assume that's like kind of what the workflow is in general um yeah I wonder if the Essentials book has something to say about that this sounds like an advanced way to do it so I wonder yeah but like but like I the like tidy models even has a function called final fit where you you give it your your trained data whatever with like the folds and it'll it'll just it'll train it on the entire data set at once um uh on the entire train set um so it's definitely like his opinionated yeah um but uh anyway I just I just saw that I was like oh that's different uh but there's probably strong opinions about it and uh Arguments for both approaches I don't really I tell you one thing it you know I don't want to digress too far this but I like that in one way because the cross valid Ace is kind of technical right so you do all that to pick your model then you just do and then you you know you still would document this in your paper but then there's like this the next part you can just conclude with now we look at a test set that we've held out to see how well this does it's very easy to um what to try to say is it really easy to lean on that right it's very easy to use that as an argument right because this is like totally pristine untouched test data exactly now we're going to look at it you don't have to you know that way people understand cross-validation the rest I could definitely understand this right yeah yeah like I I like it too because it feels like you can do whatever the heck you want with that trained data you know right like like you can you can you know if you if you really overfit it you're gonna be in trouble you know when you when you go into that um yeah Kevin just out of curiosity um it's tiny models always working with very large data sets with lots of observations because I'm like so to to save you know a test sets test set that is just pristine and then have it seems like a luxury right yeah I'm just wondering how this does for you know when you have a few observations yeah you don't have to you don't you don't have to have a lot of observation but like you don't have to do you don't have to do even people cross-validation or yeah you can just do a train test split and then and then and then train on um train on you know fitted on the train set but like but I think when you start getting into models with Hyper parameters and like a large number of them and it's like a really it's like a really really fake space that you have to explore and find the best like performance you know so I think just by the nature of those models like if you want to get anywhere close to the best hyper parameter combination you need like you need you know a bunch of folds um yeah yeah yeah yeah because like if you have 10 parameters and they could take on you know 10 000 different combinations like uh um you know you're gonna and like I don't know I yeah I I feel like I'm selling tiny models over like right now but um but they also have some really cool stuff where um yeah these like uh Bayesian um what is it called uh is this like simulated and kneeling Invasion optimization where like you can you can like uh uh basically give it a starting place and it'll like explore this hyper parameter space kind of like on its own and like try something and it starts to degrade the error like go back a couple steps and then go forward and it's really it's really good they have some cool stuff um um yeah in addition to like the traditional like grid search type of approach but did you say gradient descent now it's like there's like a it's like you say it's similar stimulated simulated and kneeling yeah that's where you like you add a random you had some Randomness to your greatest descent where sometimes you don't go down you go up because yeah you can control like a temperature so like it'll percolate out of a minute of local minimum and find the real Global minimum then you lower the temperature slowly that's the same part the temperature quotes right and then you find the global minimum that way yeah that's an interesting name for it yeah it's really cool yeah yeah I haven't used that much but um yeah they have the like a Bayesian approach to it I think where like I think like with a lot of these you can actually I've used enough for this but for just finding minimals finding minimums and other things yeah it was the first I heard of it in in when Teddy miles uh in the 10 miles book but um um which book is that that's just called tidy models or whatever yeah if you go to like tmwr.org I think that's okay Teddy modeling with our they're actually our tmwr yeah they just came out with a hard hardcover yeah cool but uh I was in the book club for that and then I uh it was we like we got to the end where the book was they were like it was like in still being written um oh so we didn't I think like the chapter 16 and 21 weren't there but uh but yeah there's some really cool like that in my list of future yeah that's my next uh book club they told me to go to this one first okay yeah no actually um yeah and they have a lot of a lot of really cool stuff I um I feel like it's gonna be adopted widely in like four or five years but I I feel like it's gonna make our a lot more popular for machine learning um I mean I have played around a little bit with it and I do like the the I started going through with the other but they are for dsi's book uses it right so even that book I started going through that a little bit I didn't finish it but um does it does it use it I didn't yeah I guess I guess the new Excursion yeah this version does yeah and it's kind of cool how you could pipe things together and everything like that yeah and I guess the complaint I've heard about it from people who don't like it or who people have issues with it is um they don't like that it they think it's like really for both like or like uh you have to like write a lot of code like uh it's like multiple lines for I don't know they they think it could be more concise I guess on some people but I don't mind that I'm not like I'm not trying to do this in like 30 seconds you know like I'm you know thinking through it and uh to be honest the reading speed is more important than the writing speed in my view yeah yeah if you can figure out what it's doing looking at it that's worth it yeah and I think in that way it's great because it's you know each step is very like like the functions are very uh like explanatory in their name um which which I really like awesome very cool yeah maybe we can incorporate some tidy models in the lab next week I know there's that book that's Chamois or that that online resource so yeah some good tips I'll probably keep going base artists because I can only learn so many things at one time true true I struggled along and struggle along yeah all right well thank you so much again uh uh it was fantastic Sandra uh appreciate it yeah no problem not happy to do it so bring your own questions and I'll try to prepare a little bit of it so awesome yeah no problem all right okay bye | Data Science Learning Community

NRvn6_m3aNE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRvn6_m3aNE | David Choe And Netflix's BEEF Controversy... | is where do you draw the line between podcasts what you actually mean and what is art it's a podcast and you plan on saying a bunch of fake stories don't call it a podcast just call it a show because is David Cho going to get Netflix's new hit series beef entirely canceled and why is bling Empire getting canceled I think they might be for two different reasons but they kind of tie in together at the same time yeah man sure seems like this week there's a lot of Asian cancellations but it kind of goes to show you there's a lot of Asian things that exist in 2023 to get canceled so I guess that's sort of the bright side yeah we're gonna go through the comments section everybody we are going to talk about the David Cho situation so if you are interested buy this video please hit that like button and check out other episodes of how about boys because you know from silly to Serious we're talking about it all you know originally I did not want to talk about the David Cho thing because it just seems like so old to me but man it's going viral within the Asian American Community Andrew I'm talking about people I know that I I did not even know followed Asian American representation media things sending me this article all right let me try to sum it up real quick back in 2014 David Cho okay he has this podcast with Asa Akira they say a lot of edgy things on the podcast he has this very disturbing and problematic story about sexually assaulting masseuse blah blah they kind of laugh it off he leans into the character or whatever he's a very disturbing or the story you guys can look it up we're not gonna play it so anyways anyways at that time it is still controversial so people ask him to take it down obviously he has to respond and say Hey listen that was the story is for artistic reasons I was addicted to drugs I had mental disorders at that time I was at the peak of my craziness so he is not accused there's no allegations there's no charges of him being an actual criminal because nobody came forward so we don't know if it's real or Not So based off what he says he says it's a fake story okay but yeah some people on Twitter uh wrote about it of course that caused articles to be written about it now he's fighting back Ali and Steven in the production company they're sort of staying quiet and this is creating like even more of a buzz and I think to be honest it's because beef is the most like hipster mainstream Asian American art probably ever made in history this is kind of interesting David can David Cho get canceled twice let's take a look at it all right you guys let's get into the comments section on David Cho somebody said man he was perfect to play a degenerate two-bit criminal because clearly that's what his Aura is like as a real person but you know that's just the morality side of it for me as a consumer just watching the show I just thought it made for a great character because he really is a scumbag in real life yeah I don't think anyone ever has ever said that oh Hollywood's not full of dirt bags and scumbags yeah there's nothing wrong with people here all right so I'll be honest and and it is an interesting situation because he did respond to that podcast clip back then years ago and then now it's getting resurfaced I mean is it plausible that he just made an incredibly horrible horrible joke like in a six hour podcast on drugs uh yeah yeah I mean I think because no one has stepped forward so he hasn't been charged of any crime that masseuse that person has never came out and said so we don't know if that's a real thing but I still think regardless it is fair for the people to cancel them now for those jokes like I don't think he could be like well I already apologize for that back in the day so stop coming for me for because I'm like those comments were so heinous and the story was so OD over the line and you just stepped over the line that yeah I mean that's everybody is responsible for what they say in the past right of the severity I don't think that this is bad enough obviously to get David Cho in jail which he probably you know there's no reason for him to go to jail right now but I do think he should probably not get his own show in the future yeah yeah I think that it's totally fair to Bar him he's gonna be fine guys it's worth 200 million dollars from the whole Facebook stock thing but do you think that Ali and Steven his friends that brought him onto beef need to answer that that's a tough one too because are they responsible for his actions back in 2014 if maybe he seems like he's a stand-up guy now I don't know him personally so I can't say somebody said uh yeah and they also let Andrew Santino play the main white guy in the show and he has a podcast where he said a lot of racist things against Asians and he's still allowed to be on the show everybody that's in the show is trash all right so Andrew Santino uh I do think he's a funny comedian however he does go pretty far with the joke with Bobby Lee on their podcast so I think here's my question about podcasts is where do you draw the line between podcasts what you actually mean and what is art because now a lot of people are hiding behind the guys of a podcast or comedy when they say crazy things on a podcast you know what I mean so it's like very like what what is real guys like what do you want me to think is real somebody said uh you know David Cho might actually be a horrible human being on the inside or he's just one of those guys who tries really hard to get approved by the edgy Vice crowd but the truth is we can't retroactively cancel him because then we're gonna have to cancel all the rappers and then all the people they killed in their Rhymes especially if he said that this is his art listen guys I don't like rap I don't like David show but I'm just saying we gotta put a lid on this cancellation culture that's super retroactive yeah and I think that uh I think the public can feel however they want about someone like David Cho like I'm not really a fan of his stuff I never watch this podcast I'm not a fan of necessary's person anality however obviously I can't say he belongs in jail because he hasn't been charged for anything guys there's actually some other celebrities that probably should have been canceled a long time ago like Chris Brown but anyways like uh yeah I think it's very hard in this day of media when everybody's putting out so much content and a lot of it sounds crazy yeah um somebody said uh in regards to uh the nepotism that got him on the show originally Netflix's beef how could it be nepotistic if actors like Ali Wong and Steven Yoon are still being far from household names in America they're the top of the Asian totem pole which is a tiny totem pole compared to other racist totem poles and if we start chopping this totem pole down because we don't like this little flaw with it or that flaw with it none of us will have any totem pole right so this guy's kind of saying uh hey we do need some Asians to get on and have good shows even if they're imperfect people to an extent but of course like who's really like what Asians are even really powerful at this point and I saw that comment from a couple in industry Asians actually on Instagram being like hey guys let's not turn on the Hollywood Asians we're all fighting for each other right now and this is going to lead to our other point right now because I think a lot of people are starting to go are you guys fighting for us or are you guys just being selfish and looking out for yourselves Hollywood representations you guys care so much about us average folks do ya somebody said listen cronyism nepotism whatever you want to call it these upper middle class cool edgy Hollywood Asian kids club is just all looking out for each other they don't care about us even though they say it in all their non-profit statements they do not care they're looking out for each other wow yeah this guy's pointing at something very very deep cut where the a lot of Hollywood oftentimes is a lot of people not all the time but often from privileged backgrounds themselves art and they wanted to be cool their whole lives and sometimes you couldn't be cool so you were pro-asian but now Asians are kind of opening up you might be going with other crowds now somebody said honestly a lot of people just lie Bobby Lee made up stories to be entertaining Theo Von lies all the time even if they're not 100 lies they're huge exaggerations that is their job to give you interesting and entertaining things because this is not the court of law nothing is legally there to say that what they're saying is true and by the way a lot of these entertainers do a lot of drugs yeah I guess David what do you think about like do you think some people kind of hide their racism and misogyny and they're kind of like I guess negative beliefs behind the veil of like comedy and art yes you know yes and no I think some of it is literally the inhibition from doing so many drugs whereas like they just see Society moving this way and they just want to say a statement that darts that way and that's what creates like laughter in the mind due to the subversion of expectation but um yeah possibly too to be honest I mean like someone of them I think for the comedians at least that I know maybe they're not as racist but there is a lack of respect or dismissiveness especially of Asian concerns around like Asian jokes yeah how about this guys if it's a podcast and you plan on saying a bunch of fake stories don't call it a podcast just call it a show because I think when people like comedians Go on stage and are presenting jokes then you kind of know like it's not always real what they're saying but that's that's we we know that because we come to the show and we watch you on stage but when you see the podcast there's kind of this guys and people are thinking like this American life with like Ira Glass yeah supposed to feel like it's personal but then you say some ridiculously fake stuff and then people think it's personal so then they judge you based off that and then later you have to come on and say oh it's comedy and art and I'm like I don't know just say it's a show like it's it's nothing's wrong and of course there were still some anti-canceler comments somebody saying yeah these journalists and Twitter ID are just trying to ruin everybody's life and career so they can feel power because they'll never be as successful as David Cho Stephen or Ali which is there's actually some truth to that but it's also like that's a dismissive comment of legitimate if I find out those journalists were like former stand-up comedians that never made it yeah definitely of course listen guys in journalism whether you're exposing somebody or you're trying to highlight this sometimes everybody has ulterior motives because humans have ulterior motives but that doesn't fully negate the legitimacy of their claim either uh David I guess overall uh takeaways before we get into how this ties in a bling Empire because that's going to be an interesting segue uh but I would overall say like America kind of loves dirt bags like as much as they say they don't America look Joe Dirt just like that that movie Joker America likes a dirt bag that's like kind of uh sorry for being a dirtbag but they just love it man I'm doing just like uh like Eddie Huang and David Cho are sort of like Vice hipster dirt bags and they're the only Asians that Joe Rogan has on his show because Joe Rogan obviously to be honest he does have a lot of dirtbags on his show though yeah that's true um somebody says uh you know I totally get it I understand the journalistic side wanting to bring down the show so basically it's sort of like people basically having this dissatisfaction with the same 15 to 30 Asians that seem like they keep circulating power in the Asian representation wave 1.0 since CRA right since CRA since everything everywhere all at once it's been sort of like the same Circle minari and I'm not saying they're bad people I'm friends with some of them I've met a lot of them I'm friends with a few of them but like is it aren't people kind of getting sick of it because they're just like man it's a lot of upper middle class Asians to be fair a lot of Prep School backgrounds a lot of private school kids but now here they are depicting Ultra rich people middle class people and they're either they're even depicting poor people but it's like man why do we gotta just cycle through the same like 30 to 15 people all the time non-stop I think the average Asian rightfully so is sick of it yeah I've even I got four toes in the game and I'm still sick of it well you want to see some different faces you want to see some different stories and I think that you want to see some more people who represent uh the actual average Asian and I think I want to see somebody who would care about me and the people I grew up with without having to do it I feel like sometimes and I'm not saying 100 out of 100 like I said I know a lot of these people that are worth a lot of money it's like some of them only care because it like helps their career to care yeah they don't actually care about the rest of the Asians in my opinion that's true yeah I think Asians don't have an art form like rap or something that is more raw from the community from the streets people that are telling the real stories now you can we can have arguments about rap content and whether you agree if it's positive or negative but I'm just saying a lot of it does come from some realness I would say in the African-American World in terms of uh different sides of like uh like a die you know what I mean like different angles they've got like Street stories from people still in the streets to this day right that's hip-hop then you've got athletes that are sometimes you know from the hood but then they make it into these great Sports corporations and Empires and then you've got also your bougie thespians sort of like Denzel Washington sponsoring Chadwick Boseman scholarship to learn acting and then you've got you're like your Elite political figures like Obama so they really got like as far as representation goes I'm not saying you know all the everything's perfect but they got a lot of the angles covered whereas Asians Andrew it's almost like some of the metrics are okay in terms of the overall body but in terms of representation it's just 15 people cosplaying as everybody yeah it's kind of like the top five percent representing everybody else but anyways uh overall takeaways I don't think everybody should have a podcast and call it a podcast and you shouldn't take everything I mean people should just if it's fake and they're telling fake stories they should tell people that anyways uh let's tie this into bling Empire David some yeah bling Empire just got canceled the original one which was based I believe in OC like Southern California and then the New York Edition both got canceled and this was sort of like your uh what reality show real world version of Cra Crazy rich Asian yeah yeah it was it was essentially like the Kardashians except with rich Asian people or I think there's a lot of shows on TV about rich white people right Vanderbilt Vanderbilt sort of yeah there's there's a lot of stuff going somebody said uh man I love this show man why'd they take it away and I said man people really like bling Empire I guess somebody had to like it somebody said this was such a whack try hard show it was Asians trying to recreate the drama the rich old money whites have or their Kardashian new money whites have clownish somebody said oh my gosh this is why I hated it but I watched every single episode and blah blah I'm not gonna lie I never watched an episode somebody said hey man only Asians watch bling Empire in America is only six percent Asian last time I checked uh no wonder why I failed demographically I think I got a lot of views from overseas too and somebody said where's all the outrage about this being canceled how people saying they're gonna leave Netflix no there isn't one because that show sucked and nobody cares about it uh do you think it's true I mean who cared about bling Empire I think bling Empire ran its course I think that it was you know I wasn't the biggest fan of the show personally I know some of the people who are especially in the New York one and very nice people that were in it but I guess overall like I'm okay with the show going away and then leaving space for more Asian stories I do think it did its job as in showing that for at least a couple Seasons people did want to see some Asian faces But ultimately I think we can move on I think there's better stories out there better shows and better talent and I think as long as people keep The Thirst up like when they cancel House of hole and they cancel bling Empire we'll just get like the 2.0 version which will be better more accessible and just more interesting and less forced I would argue that maybe we're on like maybe 2.50 of Asian representation but either way regardless of the numbers or the version or the generation that we're on I think everybody agrees that we are getting on right now and it's a lot of the similar faces and it's a lot of the similar story lines a lot of the similar narratives of being rich and fancy and stuff like that but we would love to see more from the average Asian the regular Asian the Asian that's like just down the block yeah and we're not necessarily talking about ourselves like give us a show you know what I mean still find some beautiful average people or something I don't know it doesn't have to be the fun Bros but I'm open to hear any opportunities I think ultimately both of these things whether it's the attacks and you know interestingly enough some people are gonna be like oh that was a reach how can you tie the cancellation of David Cho in with the cancellation of bling Empire and I'm like I can because I think the feelings behind both of these movements are the same like I'm tired of this I'm just dissatisfied because a lot of the people launching the attacks against David Cho they were outside of that Circle and they were dissatisfied with everybody in that Circle they're using David Cho as a as a Trojan not a trojan horse maybe a legitimate way to get in there and wedge their way in there and talk about all these other issues but like people are fed up with it I wouldn't necessarily conduct myself the way some of these other people have but I understand their frustration Andrew like I said it's almost like somebody's like all right hey guys we're gonna move on to Marvel phase like 2.0 uh it's one potato right now now it's 1.5 oh we got 1.6 coming up 1.7 1.8 1.9 1.95 1.98 version and you're like dude I'm waiting for 2.0 and I'll do whatever it takes even if it means overreaching and taking this whole thing down and that's where people are feeling everybody let us know in the comments down below how you feel about it um how do you feel about the current Asian representation because there is quite a lot of it and we will on the same 15 people yes getting better it's getting better but what do you think about it and what do you think about David Cho and uh bling Empire as well and yeah I mean let us know in the comments share your thoughts until next time everybody thank you so much for watching the hop hop boys we are out peace | FUNG BROS. | UC9avFXTdbSo5ATvzTRnAVFg | 2023-04-24 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

was able to recover mathias overcame his difficulties and with superior pole vault and javelin scores was able to push past Ignace heinrich to win the Olympic gold medal at age 17 he became the youngest gold medalist in a track and field event Mathias continued to fare well in decathlon's in the four years between the London Games and the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki in 1948 Mathias won the James East Sullivan Award as the nation's top amateur athlete but because his scholastic record in high school did not match his athletic achievement he spent a year at the kiss ski school a well-respected all-boys boarding school in Salzburg Pennsylvania he then entered Stanford University in 1949 played college football for two years and was a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity

an Olympic decathlon title he returned to the United States as a national hero his 7800 87 point total at the Helsinki Olympics remained the school record at Stanford for 63 years until it was broken in 2015 by a freshman Harrison Williams in 1952 he was the first person to compete in an Olympics in a Rose Bowl the same year after the 1952 Olympics matthias retired from athletic competition he

dlaAktMfr-Y | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlaAktMfr-Y | How to Make a Wood Box Organizer | Woodworking | [Music] hey folks how you doing hopefully we're all having a great day today this is one of those rare days where i wanted to come into the shop just throw some headphones on listen to some music and have fun making something so that's what i'm gonna do today i'm not going to narrate any of this video just after this intro which is going to be nothing but action until it's done so if you're interested in all of the details a step-by-step explanation will be on my website in article format i'll have a link to that in the description below so this project is going to be made out of some reclaimed walnut this is walnut that was salvaged from a piece of furniture who knows what originally was but all this walnut is beautiful straight grain stuff that i don't particularly want to send to the landfill and i surely don't want to put it in my burn bin so we're going to make something out of this old stuff we're going to make a box storage solution some kind i'm kind of making this up as i go i haven't even figured out the design something to store the commonly used items on my daughter's vanity uh just stuff to get ready for the day so hair products a comb a brush stuff like that that was my only ask from my wife for this build and i'm going to experiment with the design a little bit kind of making it up as i go i don't have a design picked out i'm just going to make it up as i go but i do know i want to use mitered corners for whatever box tray structure that i build mitered corners and i want to reinforce those with dowels i've never done that before so why not experiment with something that doesn't have a lot of expectation i guess you could say so this is a corner key doweling jig from rockler and what it is is basically you put your corner your your corner of your joint in like so and then it gives you a bushing at a perfect 45 degree angle to drill a very precise hole you plug the hole with whatever you want stand it smooth and not only do you have reinforced reinforcement for the ins the structure you increase the structural integrity of the joint but you also have a visual interest right it's going to be a dowel on a 45 degree angle so it's going to look oval you can play around with the different sizes the different placements it's gonna be fun to mess with this so that's the idea for this project i'm gonna shut up and get to work so i'll talk to you at the end of the video [Music] so [Music] so [Music] so [Music] so [Music] okay so i goofed up and i need to talk about it for a second i'm going with two holes on top and two holes on bottom right so we have a 1 8 of an inch hole top and bottom and then on the inside of that we have a quarter inch hole top and bottom i haven't i haven't drilled this one just yet because i need to cut the entire top off i need to reduce this whole thing the height in the height direction i i goofed up right so that's supposed to be a small hole and i apparently my jig wasn't set properly the stop block wasn't set or it slipped and i goofed up completely on me went ahead and cut the top off like i said i was going to and then finished all the cuts so there we go symmetry and now we're ready for dowels [Music] all right so that's basically it for this build i have to kind of keep wiping up the excess finish as it dries this is a oil wax finish so it's going to soak in and kind of dry for the most part overnight but it'll take a week or two to fully cure like most other finishes but i'm going to let this sit in front of a fan overnight here in the shop and then tomorrow i'll probably tomorrow morning and probably do some take some beauty shots of it and then uh show it to you in its final resting place but not too bad this was kind of an interesting design that i don't think i would have otherwise tried it's just uh i just tried to make this box more interesting than a simple box so that's i guess the reason why i added the second layer but i like the whole candy lever design i've always been a fan of stuff that's just cantilevered and floating out in space i think that's pretty neat anyway the splines are the keys rather not splines keys these turned out pretty good some of this wood is has a little bit of defects here and there this is reclaimed wood so it's not perfect and i think on one i think right there that one right there i have a little tiny tiny bit of tear out as i was drilling that hole i think that's the worst one that's a smidgen right there i'm just being nitpicky now you gotta stop being nitpicky right uh no one else is gonna notice these little itty bitty things uh anyway speaking of no one else is gonna notice the bottom panel has a nice section of curly walnut so that looks good it is reclaimed material like i said so we do have a few holes which don't really matter at all [Music] you | Black Hills Woodworking |

It66BmW1Bxo | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It66BmW1Bxo | Wikimedia monthly activities meeting - February 2019 | all right hello everybody hello everybody welcome to our monthly activities meeting my name is Sasha Reed kena I'm the front office coordinator here at the San Francisco office I've been here actually one year tomorrow I survived and have has loved every minute of it and still am and I would like to introduce my lovely co-host for today we're continuing with our dog theme this is Fozzie hope you all you can see him Fozzie is a Samoyed he's about seven years old and he joined the foundation this past summer with his lovely human amelia and he's missing her right now and he's a he's a loyal supporter and member of our legal team so we're gonna get started our agenda for today will have a movement update as usual we will have a presentation from Marga Novotny about who are our Wikipedia users in India and an update from our Wikimedia to 30 movements strategy team as well as time for questions discussions and as usual wiki love so without further ado our movement update so we have some new leadership appointments here at the foundation we welcome Jeanine güzel as our chief operating officer and Valerie DeCoster as our chief of community engagement and Lisa Lewin as our new trustee we have an ongoing proposal brand proposal for 2030 and we have begun our consultation with the community on Metta wiki and we're also changing our password policies to evaluate new credential against those are that are compromised and require that enforce a minimum eight character password for any newly created account so that is our quick update we also have some events coming up we have the Wikimedia Summit in Germany on the 29th to the 31st of March the wiki education conference in San sebastián Spain on April 4th and are one of our favorite mints the hackathon happening in Prague this year on May 16th to the 20th and without further ado I'm gonna introduce Marga Novotny she will be presenting on our Wikimedia users in India thank you hi everybody [Music] ok thanks for showing up at this month activities meeting I'm here to present some work that we did we started last spring and you may you may remember that Daisy Chen had done a presentation back in August last year around the mobile personas work we did for the US so in that in that project we had developed six different personas showing kind of a range of uses challenges and motivations for people across kind of across the technology like technology savviness spectrum across the language spectrum and kind of distributed geographically in a follow-on effort we did the kind of the same project but in in India in this case we ended up with six different personas which I'll give you sort of a high-level orientation to of these personas all but one are multilingual in each case for each of a translation is a really big deal three of the six contribute in some way either increment you know small small edits or all the way up to kind of being organizers of the six there is varying degrees of awareness of Wikipedia and by that I mean even all of these are frequent Wikipedia users but some of them aren't even aware of Wikipedia as a brand or that they're using Wikipedia necessarily and then among these six there's also varying degrees of trust in Wikipedia and we could talk about that a second a little bit so this this project was took place by in over kind of four different regions we worked with a group out of Pune called he Rio user experience consultancy that we had worked with before in the in the past on another project curio organized in eight kind of eight repayed location project north south east and west we were looking at different contexts of use so both very what they call tears tears one two and three cities as well as rural context so the tears refer to the level of kind of economic development and general literacy in the populations so we were looking for a sampling from a range of these different tears as well as users nearby who are in more rural contexts and overall we spoke to 50 participants of these four to fifty participants we had seven languages covered so the main two were English and Hindi but we also spoke to people yeah that we're using Kannada oh dear Marathi and/or do so when we take on a project like this there's always a stakeholder group of designers and product managers and community folks who are consulted about what are the what are the dimensions that the research or that the stakeholders are most interested in learning about so for this project these were the main dimensions so they were how the how a different how each these different user types use language day-to-day whether it's English primarily whether they're switching back and forth between English and a second language or a third language whether they're using their regional language first or whether they're using a regional language only of course their comfort level with technology is very important their access to the Internet is is critical and their awareness of Wikipedia as I mentioned can be can range from you know zero to very high and then lastly we were looking for people who were strictly consuming to people that made small incremental contributions all the way to people that were trying to organize other people to contribute and so you may remember from the last presentation that the way we think about these personas is that we kind of try to cover cover the map of these different dimensions by combined you know looking for combinations of these different characteristics so I've only showed the the colored lines here show three different personas of the six that we have so just to give you an idea of how we think about making sure that when we finish a set of personas they are actually a comprehensive as I can be in terms of covering all the dimensions that our stakeholder group is interested in so these are our six personas I'm just going to give you some very high-level anecdotes about each one and I will point you to the full report and the detailed persona documents which are on meta so just kind of as a high light high high point across that kind of goes across all of these personas it was interesting to learn that most of the users preferred the mobile desktop to the application either because that they had very limited storage on their phone or because limited start on their phone or because they just didn't really understand they didn't really have the tech savviness to really understand the app app model at all so it was either went you know lack of awareness or just a preference for using the mobile app so starting at the left side left side is the new editor is sue J he's super motivated to edit but is really challenged challenged by the editing policies and by trying to edit via the mobile desktop on his phone Sultana is someone who likes to prove a point she's constantly online looking for sources to justify her arguments so she's using Wikipedia a lot half the time without realizing it but when she's asked about whether or not she believes in the content her take is that she can't trust the content because she doesn't trust the editing process she thinks he had an editing process is faulty car tech is a movement organizer he's an open-source proponent so he's like quite a zealot and a evangelizer for the product he edits a lot but finds it really challenging to do on the app Kartik I'm sorry if Sita is a tiger mom she hovers around her kids as they're doing homework and he's constantly trying to help her sell her kids by looking up looking up translating terms from the regional language into English or Hindi and especially where very little regional content is available Sukhvinder is constantly using wikipedia to translate terms he's using in school and his and in his regional language he's very motivated to contribute because he realizes that realizes the deficit in regional content and finally roopinder uses has has a very limited English vocabulary knows a few words that she can use to search on in order to find images that she uses in her business she speaks and reads a regional language but uses voice search basically to to access the Campania so I'm not gonna go into a lot of detail on each of the personas I'm just gonna explain how they're organized and you can dive in and take a look at them but so for each of these personas there's basic demographic information on each there's a level of cut there's a scale of level of comfort with technology how much they use Wikipedia how much leukopenia use is a part of their overall internet use which devices they have what their goals and challenges are and then there's a contextual narrative for for each each persona in this study we had to make kind of a change to our typical persona format because we found through the research that that two of the personas have kind of what we called kind of split personalities so there were two flavors effectively of su J and obscene uh and they differ differed in the way that you can see on the diagrams to the right and left so for example with Ipsy though there are two versions of the tiger mom persona one that is completely tech savvy completely comfortable on on the internet all the time has several devices speaks is bilingual and switching back and forth and the other EPS EDA is doesn't doesn't have constant apps access has one device is it a is working from a rural context has has limited understanding our ability to move between languages and limited tech comfort so we can see with suits so the way to look at these split personas is to say that on this is to read the main page which has all the key information and then on the second page it shows how the two flavors of persona vary and finally the other great bonus of doing this kind of persona work is that you pick up a lot of anecdotal information and recommendations about the kind of the pain points and opportunities that each of these user types experience so the main recommendations that came out of this study were that people wanted to be able to listen to Wikipedia and they wanted it to be they wanted it to be easier to do voice space searching on the academics that we - wanted a Wikipedia that was reliable and acceptable to you acceptable as a reference several several folks wanted to understand how better how the Wikipedia content was created and we saw a relationship between their understanding of how it's created the process by which stuff is verified and their level of trust in the content there was overwhelming desire for a better mobile editing experience so because most of the people weren't using the app they were really struggling with the mobile desktop on the phone and that that just doesn't work also the new editor is similar to everywhere else new editors just need need ways to get help along the way they can't one of the anecdotes was that after watching a four hour videos one of these editors still was not able to do basic edits they wanted to have regional articles suggested if if they were searching on on something in English Wikipedia and there happened to be a regional article available they wanted to know about that instead and the big piece was in order to drive regional content there was a lot of enthusiasm for partnering with institutions to make sure that contribution is part of the educational experience in India so the report full report is on wiki Mehta wiki and there's a link to it in the stock so I invite you to go in and read all the good details thank you all right Thank You Margie and we're gonna move on to our next set of speakers which will be our Wikimedia 2030 movement strategy team that is tanveer Carell and I think we have some guests as well and they will talk about what's going on and please let me know if you need help with the slides so you community 2030 it's about wikimedia 2013 and we are here to talk first about what is going on and probably you know that already but i just want to remind that movement strategy this is exciting stuff and I'm really excited to to talk about the the exciting parts here for me there are two things that I want to highlight this month and one of the things that is really exciting for me and what I really like about this process is that we are using them working group mobile models so we have working groups actually we are bringing the diversity that we have in our movement across projects user groups bigger chapters also Wikimedia Foundation into the center of working of movie strategy process with a working group model and these are really great discussions that are going on in the working groups I hope that you already know by heart the list of working groups if not you can go to 2030 dr. immediate at org see what are the somatic areas that we are having these discussions on what I want to talk about here here today is the scoping process I don't know how many of you have heard about this but we have been doing the scoping for working groups and thematic areas in their recent months and what does the scoping really mean it's actually free areas but but we have been working on first of all we have been exploring the thematic area so what should the discussion be about and then there has been down in defining the exact scope of the working group so hence the term scoping and now we are actually in the end phase of a soul so it's about all about summarizing and delivering the first output from more working groups and and this is this is really great and for this reason I actually have invited to this call to offer working group members will see there were some technical issues so we'll see if they will be available to talk a bit more about what we scoping has meant for very working groups in action so first up would be arena I don't know if she's available so arena are you there with barista lyrics of technical difficulties is there some firm strategy you can okay from the silence I can understand that yeah we are still experiencing difficulties so unfortunately I have to fill in hopefully you can you can meet arena elsewhere and and talk about the roles and responsibilities working group so yes she's she's in that working group and what are they really talking about so these are a couple of scoping questions from from that group and it just gives a rough idea what are the discussions about so the first one being what covenants and organizational structures do we need to support the delivery of a strategic direction so real-looking at the movement governance organizational structures all that how do we ensure that our governance and operational structures can adapt to social technological and political change so this is what the community xxx is also about adaption and change and the third one is what is the future structure for the vacuity movement that will create less friction and more synergies so these are the kinds of things we are we are looking at in the sorority process and in this group now looking at the activities what this group has gone through is that they have a steady online interaction they have bi-weekly meetings they also have working sessions where they are working on concrete topics they have been preparing the scoping document and one interesting thing that this group has done is that they have gone out there on the field and they have made interviews with people in the movement and actually the summary of these interviews was just uploaded on Metta today so look at the Wikimedia l4a link or go browse metal yourself so this is really interesting thing and and I I suggest that you should be rude reading these interviews if you are interested in that topic and also they have done a survey to collect some basic information on how different groups in our movement function and and this is just an idea of how the working groups are ensuring that they are well informed and and up to speed in their discussions now looking at the concrete one concrete task that this group has been doing is actually working on mapping the roles and responsibilities in the movement so really creating the clear map of who we are today what are the existing roles and responsibilities and and also looking at at the roles really looking at official and non-official responsibilities related to his roles also they have looked on on challenges good and pain points between different roles and they have done some mapping across the groups to understand what is really a ting point of good or or even more but the pain points so on to understand that and to ensure that with some movers frydek discussions we can actually initiate structural reform to overcome these challenges and release energy stuck in the image challenges so this is what what has been a concrete work of roles and responsibilities working group and now I'm happy to hand over to Oscar Costello from capacity building working group so Oscar I hope you other yes thank you thank you gotta get a beer well I am going to talk about a little bit working book and it's basically about the work that we do in a soup group called the glossary group thanks sly well first this is like a real mentioned the scope that was after months amounts of work we come up with this definition of questions basically asking not to be resolved in the future the first one is we just take holders should be part of the capacity-building efforts but to compete contribute as well as receive them the second one and what processes will be needed to build bill or change it for the specific capacity-building efforts and the till one how how do we make capacity building inclusive and available in a giveaway but this is a start a few a lot among ago I think an abuse we starting with the work the first task was to know what areas ok parties we have in our work and what was missing basically we compile a a roster of competencies base of that with detective work then we started to discussing what capacity building was the definition was there until nails are dooming about how a capacity or community had deal with the capacity building if that community have emerged jack community in the mid or whether this working group should be the sign or recommend anything for health oriented from the scratch so we have like a formal definition that was work a lot of capacity building and i'm going to read that idiom it was discussing a lot again for meeting the meeting s it is the activities and communication that systematically build obtain a stranger rating and share knowledge skills belief tools processes our resources for all wikimedia stakeholders to move towards rs30 directions to knowledge assess arabic and knowledge editing so that was the definition and was part of the soup brooke part of the group also develop movement to the whole group to to work later on we decide to the back of the wording a small group and one of the one of those small group at the was the glossary crook and I going to share with you a lot of findings to find this that we have four four therefore all these months yes next slide the first one is a capacity building is more than a list of resources it is like a standing human connection this meaning that we see experienced in things in the same way or in different ways another person another person for another country experience that tax tax experience and the capacity or the glossary group help I started to using a common language because we learned that our work can have multiple definitions depending on the culture or the person where is from also the capacity building with this cover also we discover the that is more is more like a common thing meaning best practice guidance training templates and processors that has human connection to sure and in the end I think the the most important thing of this finding is that capacity building is a war dog trust that is that we naturally develop trust with each other in help to complete a better work and acting with this Restonic that we're trying to deliver a capacity building that needs to be for the people when they most need it in that sex I think Trust is crucial and I think something that we need to focus in the next phase that we're going to work working for now so yes that was all thank you thank you so much a scar so this is the work but the working groups are doing and this is happening in all the four nine working groups everyone has kind of their own path in in getting there and you the two stories we have from a scoping phase now the big question and exciting question from me to you is how to be involved in a process and the main point here is that regarding the process but one of the things is but I think the process itself is reimagining ourselves as a global community so this is this is what you are doing and this is what is the idea of movement strategy process also this means that you are the one who are going to make this happen so each one of you each each individual you are part of the community the global community that they have and and I really would like to see you participating in the conversations and then also implementing the changes in our movement to to strive towards the strategic direction so so this is my hope and also we know that communities are the ones that make miki happen and each one of you are our member of of our big global community so now we have a scoop in documents from all the groups and we are now in a phase of making these documents available and hopefully this will happen mid-march we are also looking into translation options to have them available in a variety of languages and we are also looking finally to to kick off a community conversation so the scoping documents are kind of the basis of the conversation and and we can build on that and have a conversation around that and you can choose the plan that is suitable for your strategy needs so you can go light and just answer to a survey we've helped to free essential questions from a working groups you can answer to questions from just one working group or to the full board and and as a tube questions of nine working groups or you can use the pro model for your strategy needs and really dig into it discuss open documents with your communities your peers and engage also in the global conversations this will happen on different platforms which will be certainly your matter but we are also looking forward to using social media channels and and different discussion discussion platforms and for this we are also happy to announce that you are looking for strategy liaisons so the call for organized groups has already gone out there we will also be looking for volunteer community liaisons we are currently recruiting for know in strategy liaisons for bigger or more notable language communities so this is some of the work in the in a pipeline and and you can really be part of that being the kind of coordinating or center point in your community helping to surface the real key ideas from from your own community or from your group so so this is this is a possibility for you so I'm looking forward to your engagement and I really hope that this will be as exciting for you as it is for me and you can be in contact with us so here are the emails from represent us today I'm really sad that arena had technical difficulties don't hesitate to reach out to her she's really a great working group member from from Uganda and Rosen's responsibilities group and and I hope that that she can present and share her thoughts some other time on some other platform thank you so much let's be in touch all right thank you everybody from movement strategy and iron started working group Serena Oscar Carell and Tanvir we're gonna move on to the next section of our program which is question and discussion so if you have questions for any of the presenters if you have questions for anybody here in the room do we have anything on IRC Rowen no all right there's also microphone in the room you can come up and ask questions thank you Joe I have a question for Margie on her interesting research I was very interested to see and I guess a little surprised to see the emphasis on spoken input and output I guess particularly I was curious why people would want to listen to Wikipedia since it seems like a relatively inefficient or slow way to get information so can you say more about what the users needs and use case is there hello there sorry about that [Music] Maggie yes sorry about that so Joe I think I caught the gist of your question so why would people want to listen to Wikipedia I think part of it was wanting to have the ability to do to access content while in transit and and sometimes it's just easier in hands-free situations like commuting but then other other times was just like to have spoken like the persona repenter liked using the voice search capabilities and would have would have preferred to have the the results written kind of read back to her in some cases in her regional language and that was the case also for I think it was the the mom the hover or mom when you say in these original language does it mean from an article in that language or does she want translation on the fly in audio they talked about translation on the fly as well as just reading back just having an audio version in without translation as well Thank You Mikey any follow-up questions do we have any more questions on not a question but I would like to follow up with something that Maggie mentioned this is coming from the experience that I have working with Indian languages one of the reasons why people prefer to have audio input is because typing in indian languages is very very problematic there is no good script that allows for easy typing and an easy access of search words hence the request and the idea that audio becomes more important thank you Thank You Mikey thanks camp here we have a question on IRC oh yeah on I or see pine says I will ask a brief question for Cairo is there a timeline that he can share for upcoming milestones my guess is the timeline will have estimated dates and that's fine yeah I was just checking if it's on meta so I will also follow up on our C but the current timeline as it is is that from mid-march to mid-april they will run the community concept conversations and also become either summit is part of that so some it will this year be dedicated more to my strategy and there will be even more discussions around that it's affiliate conference service visas for organized groups but this is visit kind of in the center of community conversations and community conversations are built around that and then we actually go to the analyze his space before working groups and and we look forward to having try a draft recommendations delivered for Wikimania so this is the timeline we are working with I will just check what is the current timeline on meta and we will follow up also an IRC thank you for your question fine Thank You Carol any questions on in the room IRC going once going twice alright index oh this is from Margie's presentation Margot did you

Kl5SknPazJE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kl5SknPazJE | Twenty Years of the Republic 1885-1905 | Harry Thurston Peck | *Non-fiction | Book | English | 5/13 | chapter 6 part 1 of 20 years of the republic 1885 to 1905 by harry thurston peck this librivox recording is in the public domain the election of 1892 part one after witnessing president harrison's inauguration mr cleveland had left washington and presently became a resident of new york city where he resumed the practice of law as an associate of the firm of bang stetson tracy and mcvay in the eyes of the professional politicians of both parties his public career seemed to have ended and to have ended in utter failure he was regarded as one who had by an accident of politics attained a transitory greatness to which he had proved to be personally unequal his dogged determination enforcing an apparently unpopular issue almost on the eve of a presidential election and merely as a matter of conviction had been quite incomprehensible at the time and the result appeared to justify the contempt which partisans such as senator gorman and governor hill confidentially expressed to their intimates they felt that mr cleveland had now been eliminated from national politics he had settled down as an everyday lawyer in a great cosmopolitan city where the complexity of life and the clash of material interests reduce even the most eminent of its citizens to comparative obscurity mr henry waterson rather complacently remarked at this time cleveland and new york reminds me of a stone thrown into a river there is a plunk a splash and then silence the ex-president accepted this verdict with philosophical good humor he had nothing to regret he had acted in accordance with his sense of right and had done what he believed to be the best both for his country and for his party as he said a little later at a banquet given in his honor note 1 page 253 we know that we have not deceived the people with false promises and pretenses and we know that we have not corrupted and betrayed the poor with the money of the rich by his savings and by judicious investments in real estate mr cleveland had already secured a modest competence as a lawyer his professional labors yielded him a generous income he practiced little in the courts but important cases were often referred to him by the sitting justices while his unquestioned integrity and conscientiousness led many prospective litigants to submit their interest to his arbitration there was one kind of legal practice which he persistently refused to undertake no persuasion could induce him to accept retainers from the great corporations note 2 page 253 mr cleveland was convinced that the moneyed interest had already become a menace to the welfare of the nation and with them he was unwilling to associate himself in any fashion whatsoever in the message which he sent to congress soon after his defeat for re-election he had pointed out the perils which he saw in vast and irresponsible aggregations of wealth whose possessors felt themselves to be above the law the fortunes realized by our manufacturers are no longer solely the reward of sturdy industry and enlightened foresight but they result from the discriminating favor of the government and are largely built upon undue exactions from the masses of our people the gulf between employers and employed is constantly widening and classes are rapidly forming one comprising the very rich and powerful while in another i found the toiling poor as we view the achievements of aggregated capital we discover the existence of trust combinations and monopolies while the citizen is struggling far in the rear or is trampled to death beneath an iron heel corporations which should be carefully restrained creatures of the law and the servants of the people are fast becoming the people's masters the existing situation is injurious to the health of our entire body politic it stifles and those for whose benefit it is permitted all patriotic love of country and substitutes in its place selfish greed and grasping avarice devotion to american citizenship for its own sake and for what it should accomplish as a motive to our nation's advancement and the happiness of all our people is displaced by the assumption that the government instead of being the embodiment of equality is but an instrumentality through which a special and individual advantages are to be gained communism is a hateful thing and a menace to peace and organized government but the communism of combined wealth and capital the outgrowth of over-weaning cupidity and selfishness which insidiously undermine the justice and integrity of free institutions is not less dangerous than the communism of oppressed poverty and toil which exasperated by injustice and discontent attacks with wild disorder the citadel of rule note 3 page 254 but although mr cleveland was no longer an object of interest to the politicians there were many quiet indications that the great mass of his countrymen had not forgotten him invitations came to him continually from professional commercial religious educational and civic organizations which sought the honor of his presence at commemorative banquets and other public gatherings note 4 page 254 when his engagements permitted he acceded to these requests for as he said on one occasion he had no sympathy with those good souls who are greatly disturbed every time an ex-president ventures to express an opinion on any subject not infrequently he spoke at length to interested listeners and what he said was always sensible and wise and sometimes pregnant with suggestion as a public speaker mr cleveland was far from attaining brilliancy even his warmest friends could scarcely claim that he was an orator his manner and his style alike were heavy he had a strong preference for polysyllabic words and for sentences so involved as to be john sonian in their ponderosity he had probably never heard the dictum of the french stylist who said legends for almost every noun was coupled with an adjective and these adjectives were frequently applied in pairs moreover like many another statesman he often took refuge in the baldus truisms which were seldom freshened up by originality of phrasing mr abram s hewitt once said of him in a tartly cryptic epigram which may be interpreted as conveying either praise or censure cleveland is the greatest master of platitude since washington it is likely however that mr cleveland's rhetorical deficiencies were on the whole a distinct advantage to him the american people at that period still held to the conservative tradition which viewed exceptional accomplishments in public men if not with suspicion at least with a certain amount of caution brilliancy might rouse admiration but it could not inspire confidence in the long run it was the safe man rather than the showy man who secured the highest honors from the electorate clay and webster and blaine had won the frantic applause of millions yet they had all failed to achieve the one great prize on which their hearts were set no president had ever been an orator of the first rank save only lincoln and lincoln's great political addresses represented the oratory of reason rather than the oratory of emotion and hence in mr cleveland's case even when his utterances were very tame and his sentences quite commonplace they appeal to the multitude as embodying sound morality conservative opinion and what general grant was fond of calling good horse sense mr cleveland's lines therefore at this time were cast in pleasant places successful in his profession and respected by those whose personal esteem was worth the having he enjoyed a period of tranquility that must have been most grateful after his stormy years of public office he spent his summers at a charming country seat upon the massachusetts coast to which he gave the name grey gables there he entertained his intimate friends with a genial friendly hospitality and there as an angler he won a reputation which he was said to value quite as much as any public honors that he had ever gained it was an ideal life for a retired statesman a life that he would gladly have continued to enjoy unvexed by the strife and din of party politics but the fates had decreed it otherwise the discussion of the mckinley bill in 1890 and the overwhelming republican defeat in the congressional elections which followed close upon the passage of that measure brought mr cleveland once again into a prominent such as he was far from seeking it was he who in his bold message of 1887 had first raised the tariff issue it was he who had forced the republicans to adopt a policy which had ended in their utter route though he had at the time failed of reelection he had nevertheless inspired his party with aggressiveness and confidence many democrats now began to ask whether anyone was so well fitted as he to lead the party back again to power the campaign of education began in 1888 was commencing to bear fruit looking forward to the coming struggle for the presidency popular feeling instinctively went out to mr cleveland as the logical candidate for 1892 yet although this sentiment was beginning to pervade the rank and file of the democracy it was most distasteful to the party managers in a phrase of their own choosing they had no use for mr cleveland to them he had always shown himself intractable and they had been pleased at what appeared to be his permanent elimination from politics it was not agreeable to think of him as likely to become again a candidate therefore they took no notice of the popular feeling in his favor but endeavoured to ignore him and to speak of him in public with a studied indifference as of one whose day was over and who had become politically a back number most of the party organs refrained from mentioning him in connection with the presidency some of them endeavor to discredit him by a systematic press campaign of defamation conspicuous in this was the new york sun at that time under the editorship of mr charles a dana charles anderson dana was undoubtedly the most remarkable figure that had yet arisen in the history of american journalism born in 1819 and educated at harvard he was a careful student and obnorous reader with a memory so tenacious as to place at his command a vast array of facts which is quick wit and literary skill enabled him to use with singular effectiveness as a very young man he had joined the four year rights for a time in the erratic though memorable experiment at brook farm a little later he was engaged in miscellaneous writing for the boston newspapers in 1847 he joined the staff of the new york tribune in whose office he developed a pungent style which was afterward to make him feared and famous here too he came into contact with all the most important public men of the antebellum period a violent dispute with horus greeley over the latter is unfortunate on to richmond editorial led to dana's retirement from the tribune in 1862 note 5 page 258 and in the following year he was made assistant secretary of war in this capacity he rendered highly important service to his chief stanton who sent him upon confidential missions to the headquarters of the army with instructions to report upon the character and conduct of the leading generals dana's knowledge of human nature his grasp upon essentials and his power of going to the very heart of things made his reports invaluable both to the secretary and to mr lincoln it was due to dana's favorable judgment that general grant was not relieved of his command in 1863 but was upheld by the administration in the teeth of the fiercest criticisms in 1864 however dana left the war department and returned to journalism editing for a while the chicago republican in this he failed completely discouraged and uncertain of his future he came to new york where he established himself in 1868 as editor of the new york sun it was the year of grant's first election to the presidency dana remembering the service which he had done the general and having besides a real liking for the man wrote a life of grant which he intended to be a sort of campaign biography for it was highly eulogistic and was written with an intimate knowledge of its subject political usage and personal gratitude might have suggested to the new president the bestowal of some reward on one whose ability was so exceptional as mr dana's yet for some reason which has never been satisfactorily explained grant absolutely ignored the claim it was dana's desire to be made collector of the port of new york but the office was given to another and by this act grant made an enemy whose unrelenting hatred pursued him to the grave with an almost frantic eagerness dana said about destroying every copy of the life upon which he could lay his hands so that today the book is practically unattainable outside of a few libraries then in the columns of the sun he waged upon grant a war of slander which for sheer malignity has never been surpassed dina knew quite well that grant was honest clean living patriotic and sincere note 6 page 254 yet now with a perversion of facts that was infernal in its ingenuity he painted him as a corrupt and brutal scoundrel one who used his office for his personal enrichment a tyrant a vulgar ruffian and a common drunkard everyone connected with the president even his wife and family came in for a share of dana's wrath or ridicule at one time the editor was indicted in the district of columbia and an attempt was made to have him removed to washington for trial over such a prospect dana was almost beside himself with fear his hysterical editorials made it plain that had his case been actually tried in washington he must have gone to prison but judge blatchford sitting in new york refused to change a venue in consequence the case was dropped and dana continued to lash the president with even greater fury than before after grant's retirement to private life the attitude of the sun remained the same even when the hero of the great war was awaiting burial and when all other criticism was stilled in the presence of death dana launched a poisoned shaft to those who loved grant best the son published an account of an undertaker's bill which the general's family had very properly refused to pay but which dana himself had settled with an ostentatious show of hypocritical benevolence that was absolutely devilish the change in dana's attitude toward grant in 1868 was however only a single aspect of a change which had altered his entire nature until then he had been genial and fair-minded with a touch of something like idealism in his view of things he had associated with honorable men and his life had been a useful one but as he now looked back upon it that life appeared to him a failure a brightness optimism and a regard for others had not paid both in journalism and in public life he had somehow missed success and he was now in his 50th year and so he seems to have said to himself that henceforth in his career as journalist he would take no heed of right or wrong but would gain a certain sort of fame and assure material reward by throwing overboard all principle from that time he was thoroughly a cynic and a pessimist in his charming home at roslin and to a very few intimate friends he still showed himself to be a genial cultivated gentleman interested in his books and flower gardens and with a genuine enthusiasm for rare pottery of which he was a connoisseur but as editor of the sun he played consistently the part of devil's advocate he set himself to jeer at whatever was best and noblest to degrade and burlesque whatever decent men respected to defend or palliate the base and to treat corruption as an admirable joke thus he supported tammany in the days of its worst offenses he was the apologist of tweed he warmly commended the proposal to erect a public monument to that notorious malefactor on the other hand every attempt to improve political conditions such as the reform of the civil service and the movement for an honest ballot was greeted by dana with an outburst of derision he used his newspaper also as a weapon to avenge his personal dislikes and whoever incurred his enmity aroused his prejudice was pilloried in the columns of the sun had mr dana been a journalist of the usual type his hatreds and his expression of them would soon have ceased to be of any interest and would most probably have proved the ruin of the sun but the man was a genius in his way his rhetoric was superb and even those who most disliked him were reluctantly compelled to own the power of his invective he had an unerring instinct for touching his victim on the raw and his ingenuity in giving pain was marvelous furthermore there was something tricky something ampush even in his malevolence so that outrageous though he was his outrageousness had an indefinable quality which raised it far above the level of vulgarity to him might well have been applied the description which the israeli once gave of lord salisbury a master of jibes and flouts and jeers a careful student of his editorial work once wrote of him he had a gift for making men seem hateful or contemptible or ridiculous and he used his talent most unsparingly his nicknames and epithets stuck like birds to those at whom he hurled them who cannot recall the score of these appellations note 7 page 262 every one of which conveyed to the mind the suggestion of something ludicrous and quite apart from its editorial page the sun was managed with great ability it was then perhaps the most readable newspaper in the united states its news was collected with the utmost accuracy its reporting was often done with a skill and cleverness that gave it a distinctly literary quality its editor was regarded with intense admiration by journalists throughout the country and he became the founder of a journalistic cult dana was ostensibly a democratic partisan his friends asserted that at election time he had always voted the republican ticket if so this was a characteristic example of his cynicism for in his editorial columns everything republican was anathema most probably he preferred to be in opposition because such a role gave fuller scope to his peculiar gifts indeed in 1880 when the september election seemed to indicate that the democratic candidate general hancock was likely to be chosen president in november dana deliberately wrote a double-letted editorial in which he sneered at hancock as a good man weighing 250 pounds a drive which greatly delighted the republicans the only note of sincerity in dana's writings was found in his support of mr tilden who was his personal friend when mr cleveland was elected governor of new york dana at first was favorable to him but presently he became inimical for reasons that are variously given some say that as mr children's liking for governor cleveland cooled dana took his own cue from tilden others assert that mr cleveland rejected certain overtures that were made to him by dana and declined to invite the editor to albany in answer to a hint note 8 pages 263 and 64. however this may be the sun soon arranged itself among the anti-cleveland journals and in 1884 it supported the greenback nominee general b f butler was exceedingly like dana to advocate the election of this brazen charlatan who holds in history the bad eminence of having been the only conspicuous northern commander in the civil war against whom charges of personal corruption were practically proven note 9 page 264 throughout mr cleveland's presidency dana maintained a sort of malevolent neutrality giving many a satirical thrust at the man whose reforming spirit was obnoxious to the presiding genius of the sun on the day after cleveland's defeat in the election of 1888 dana printed without comment an entire column of quotations from medical and physiological works on the subject of obesity thereafter the sun ignored the ex-president until once more he loomed up as a possible candidate now dipping his pen in vitriol dana outdid himself in running the entire gamut of abuse from ridicule to excoriation to him mr cleveland became the perpetual candidate and later the stuffed prophet some of these editorials were masterpieces of malignity and as such they are almost worthy of permanent preservation they served no end however safe to draw increased attention to his enemy's political availability it was mr cleveland himself who in the judgment of many persons deliberately ruined his own prospects by an utterance which he made at this time upon a question which had been violently injected into national politics before narrating the occurrence it is necessary to give a brief account of the growth of the silver movement in the western states in the early years of its existence the republican party had been dominated by one controlling purpose the destruction of slavery the issue which gave at birth was distinctly a moral issue and the enthusiasm which inspired it was a moral enthusiasm its first declaration made at jackson michigan on july 6 1854 declared that the republican party was battling for the first principles of republican government and against the schemes of an aristocracy all republicans were pledged in this declaration to act cordially and faithfully in unison postponing and suspending all difference with regard to political economy or administrative policy note 10 page 265 the republican party therefore was distinctly not a party of caste or of class but preeminently a party of the people devoted to the cause of human freedom in those days the power of wealth and the pride of birth were equally arrayed against it the rich merchants and bankers of boston new york and philadelphia viewed this new party as a menace to political tranquility and vested interests they joined hands gladly with the aristocratic planters of the south and seeking to stamp out so strange and describing a fanaticism it was the most respectable citizens of massachusetts who ostracized charles sumner who broke up anti-slavery meetings who mobbed garrison and threatened to lynch whittier the republican leaders boasted that their party was not one of wealth and privilege but of intelligence and moral worth clergymen teachers writers and small professional men joined its ranks which were still further recruited from the agricultural portions of the country the great strength of the republican party lay not in the eastern states but in the young commonwealths of the west in ohio illinois iowa michigan wisconsin and minnesota the first republican president was the very incarnation of democracy so plain in manner so simple in life and so ruggedly sincere as to seem to the fastidious denizens of the east a mere barbarian it was therefore as a party of the people that republicanism first won its way to political power when the civil war ended the great purpose of the primitive republicans had been achieved slavery was abolished forever the feudalism based upon it was annihilated every inch of american territory had become free soil as we now look back upon that period with a sense of true political perspective it is plain that the old republican party really died in the year 1866 the party which afterwards continued to bear its name was altogether different from that which had rallied around fremont in 1856 and which had twice elected lincoln it was different in its aims and aspirations different in the character of its leaders and different in the influences which shaped its policy its years of almost irresponsible power had utterly transformed it controlling the national finances with an overwhelming majority in congress and having in its gift not merely office and opportunity but every sort of legislative favor it drew to itself the support of every interest which 10 years before had been arrayed against it it was now the party of the bankers the manufacturers the lords of commerce and all those active restless scheming spirits who had learned that great fortunes were to be made in other ways than by legitimate industry the true citadels of the republican party were now the crowded centers of the east while the agricultural states received but slight consideration the continuance of the war tariff which enriched a comparatively few interests at the expense of the entire population was the most striking factor in the development of this new republicanism the farmer was compelled to pay tribute to the manufacturer and so the republican party in this second phase of its existence became a party of class as truly as the democratic party had ever been in the days before the war the west was slow in recognizing the significance of this change but as time went on financial conditions operated to cause serious distress in the first place the gradual appreciation in the value of the paper dollar pinched the debtor class severely the farmer for example who in 1863 had mortgaged his farm for five thousand paper dollars worth perhaps not more than half that sum in gold found that he must repay the loan in dollars worth nearly twice as much and therefore representing twice as much economy and diligence and labor the resumption of specie payments in 1879 though a triumph of financial management did nevertheless inflict a serious hardship upon all men who had borrowed money at a time when the paper currency of the united states was worth much less than its face value this hardship was of course inevitable but it was nonetheless a hardship and it is not surprising that those who suffered from it should have tried to seek a remedy hence arose the so-called greenback party which as early as 1876 nominated candidates for the presidency and vice presidency on a platform which demanded the repeal of the act for resuming specie payments and which advocated the issue of united states notes as the sole currency of the nation upon this platform peter cooper of new york received in that year a popular vote of 81 000 while in 1880 another greenback candidate james b weaver of iowa called a vote of over three hundred thousand this movement however represented only one form of popular discontent there were other grievances more irritating and apparently more easily remediable one was the manner in which the railways of the country had monopolized the public lands note 11 page 268 barring great tracks to settlers while refusing to comply with the conditions under which the grants of land had been bestowed another grievance was the discrimination and railroad rates by which the small shipper was forced out of business by powerful corporations note 12 page 268 still another was the working of the tariff laws which had steadily discriminated against the most widespread of all american industries agriculture while forcing it to bear the greater burden of taxation it came at last to be widely asserted and believed that the government of the united states was becoming a creature of the corporations that congress was filled with corporation agents railway senators and trust representatives and that even the judges on the bench were often men whose antecedents as corporation lawyers discredited their judicial decisions all these and still other reasons for public discontent first found expression in isolated political movements throughout the west besides the greenback or national party there arose the so-called anti-monopoly party which held its first convention at chicago in 1884. in 1888 two labour parties appeared each with a different set of grievances the so-called granger movement was another evidence of the popular discontent the grangers or as they were officially styled the patrons of husbandry were an organization of which the founder was one o h kelly a clerk in the bureau of agriculture their general aim was to unite for self-protection all who were actually engaged in agricultural pursuits by 1875 the grangers who then numbered more than one million five hundred thousand men and women had definitely formulated certain measures which they hoped to have embodied in both state and national legislation like the knights of labor they advocated woman's suffrage and the regulation of railway rates this organization afterwards grew into the farmer's alliance just as the knights of labor grew into the american federation of labor and as both of them had many aims in common they affected a coalition in 1889 when they agreed upon a common platform of principles demanding the abolition of national banks an increased issue of government paper and the government ownership of all means of transportation and public intercourse by this time the western states were in a condition of political ferment as yet there was no general cohesion or agreement between the different factions and parties they lacked a leader they had not as yet developed any political machinery in the east little notice was taken of them the newspapers treated them with easy ridicule and described the intensely earnest men and women who composed them as cranks and calamity howlers many of them were indeed unintelligent fanatics many of their wrongs were fanciful many of their remedies were quite impossible yet there did remain a very solid substratum of reason for these various movements and the discontent was not without substantial justification the epithet so sneeringly applied to the rank and file of the new parties recalled the no less sneering epithets that had been hurled at the republicans in the days of their anti-slavery crusade they too had been described as a wild men and fanatics and enemies of public order end of chapter six part one chapter 6 part 2 of 20 years of the republic 1885 to 1905 by harry thurston peck this librivox recording is in the public domain the election of 1892 part two it may be asked why the discontented did not flock to the democratic party and use it as an instrument for turning out the republicans who were held to be primarily responsible for existing conditions the reason was that both of the old parties were now almost equally distrusted both were regarded as being under the control of the money power during mr cleveland's administration from 1885 to 1889 it had been made clear that the trusts were quite as influential and democratic as in republican politics mr h b payne for whom the standard oil company had bought the ohio legislature was ostensibly a democrat it was charged also that secretary whitney mr cleveland's closest advisor was dominated by the same sinister influence senator had asked is it the standard oil company represented in the cabinet at this moment note 13 page 270 and the question had harassed the nerves of the entire nation therefore these new factions that were springing up in the west and in the south felt that a clean sweep must be made and that both of the old parties must be driven out seceding republicans in the west declared themselves to be reverting to the earlier republicanism of lincoln while in the south those who had once been democrats profess to be reviving the democracy of jefferson all of them wish to get back to simplicity honesty and economy and government to secure a fair field for all to resist commercialism to oppose the money power and the general corruption and cowardice of the old parties party conventions and organizations were now mere machines for winning elections and keeping control of the offices they were unscrupulous oligarchies controlled by the rich a few astute and wealthy managers and magnates called businessmen controlling the party managers as their henchmen set things up in private conferences while the masses were being fooled and manipulated like voting herds then the business magnates who dictated the nomination of the candidates and furnished the sinews of war for the campaign were of course to conduct the government and equally of course the laws were to be made and administered in such a way as to take good care of these managers business interests it was felt that if any president or senator or congressman began to urge honestly and effectively that the great mine owners or railroads are trust combinations the moneyed forces that control the money land and transportation of the people should be actually brought face to face with the enforcement of just and equal laws then some silent but powerful influence within the parties would retire such public servants to private life note 14 page 271 the storm center of this third-party agitation was the state of kansas in september the farmers alliance and the knights of labor assembled in convention there and nominated a full state ticket and also candidates for congress in the october elections this ticket was elected and out of the seven congressmen allotted to kansas the new party elected five while the state legislature sent to the senate to country editor mr william alfred peffer who had been a leader in the movement in the following year a general fusion took place of the different factions representing both the industrial and agricultural interests now uniting for the first time as a definite political party under the name of people's party or populists their first national convention was held at cincinnati in may 1891 and it drew up a platform which demanded the free and unlimited coinage of silver the issue of paper money which should be loaned to the people at not more than two percent per annum on the security of non-perishable agricultural products the national ownership of railroads telegraphs telephones and steamship lines a graduated income tax and the election of united states senators by popular vote note 15 page 272 it was the financial part of this platform that was most immediately important the demand for the free coinage of silver represented a general belief which had permeated the minds of the western people they had come to entertain what is known as the quantitative theory of money believing that an increased supply of money would raise the prices of farm products it was a matter of indifference to them how this increase of money was to be affected whether by the issue of irredeemable greenbacks or by the unlimited coinage of silver they would have preferred if left to themselves to substitute paper money for a metallic currency of any sort but here came in another influence which for some time past had been at work the price of silver as compared with that of gold had for a long time while been steadily falling in consequence the great mine owners of nevada colorado and other western states found the production of silver ceasing to be profitable they had therefore as early as 1877 secured the passage of the bland silver law directing the government to purchase silver bullion and to coin each month not less than 2 million or more than 4 million silver dollars note 16 page 272 in 1890 this act had been repealed and in place of it the so-called sherman silver law had been enacted directing the government to purchase every month four million five hundred thousand ounces of silver and to issue it against legal tender notes redeemable on demand in coin either gold or silver at the discretion of the secretary of the treasury note 17 page 273 these two laws although afterwards attacked by the republicans involved a logical application of the doctrine of protection silver was an american product and the mine owners as representing an american industry demanded legislation which should make their industry a profitable one as the tariff could not affect this it was accomplished by forcing the government to provide an artificial market for the product of the silver mines the sherman law was passed in the hope of propitiating the adherence of silver in the west but it failed entirely of its object it did not go far enough to please the silver men while it alarmed the conservative financiers what the populists now desired was to make the coinage of silver an unlimited one so as to render money plentiful and cheap to drive gold out of circulation and thus to secure artificially a general increase in the values of agricultural products the silver propaganda was received with great enthusiasm in the west meetings were held in thousands of country schoolhouses to hear this new gospel of prosperity proclaimed by perferbid orators the movement threatened to demoralize both of the old parties for it was felt that the silver vote would be able at the next election to turn the scale in favor of whatsoever candidate should show himself to be most truly a friend of silver it was while this agitation was at its height that the reform club in new york city note 18 page 274 held a meeting to voice the opposition of new york businessmen to the free coinage of silver an invitation to be present was sent to mr cleveland when this fact became known many of his friends urged him to stay away and to keep to himself his opinions on the silver question they knew that he was inflexibly opposed to any increased silver coinage his messages to congress had shown this very plainly but they pointed out to him that by keeping silence he might let it be supposed that he had changed his mind or that at least he was willing to approve a compromise to offend the silver men was they said to throw away his chances for the presidency he could not possibly receive a nomination if it were known that he was not a friend of silver the west would be solidly against him it was a time to temporize and to exercise a little diplomacy both for his own sake and for the welfare of his party mr cleveland listened to this talk without saying very much his engagements made it impossible for him to attend the reform club meeting but he wrote a letter to the chairman which on the following morning appeared in every newspaper throughout the united states in it he said it surely cannot be necessary for me to make a formal expression of my agreement with those who believe that the greatest peril would be invited by the adoption of the scheme for the unlimited coinage of silver at our mints and in the last sentence of his letter he spoke of the dangerous and reckless experiment of free unlimited and independent silver coinage note 19 page 274 these bold uncompromising words created an immense sensation mr cleveland's enemies read them with exaltation cleveland was out of the race at last he had once more played the fool and made himself a political impossibility out of sheer pigheadedness at last he was in reality a dead one so thought the cynical mr dana of the sun and so thought all the leading democrats who had been nourishing presidential ambitions of their own admirers of the ex-president admired him more than ever yet they could not repress a feeling of regret that he had spoken out so freely and as it seemed to them so unnecessarily for they too viewed this reform club letter as putting an end to the movement for his re-election such was in fact mr cleveland's own belief yet in his heart there lurked no shadow of regret an intimate friend who met him on the day after the letter had been published spoke to him ruefully about the matter mr cleveland's only answer was to throw out both his arms with a gesture of one who casts away a heavy burden oof said he and then with a gleeful look at his friend's troubled face he went on to talk about his summer plans yet neither his enemies nor his friends nor he himself had accurately gauged the effect of this act of defiant frankness beyond the haunts of the scheming politicians who managed caucuses and pac conventions the pregnant sentences of that letter were read with an electric thrill of joyful recognition here at last was a man one who knew his own mind and was not afraid to speak it one who would not trim and shuffle to win votes one who would kick aside a nomination for the presidency rather than wear a muzzle even for a moment a shrewd english observer was once asked to explain the secret of lord palmerston's unbounded popularity why said he what the nation likes in palmerston is his you be damnidness it was something of the same quality in mr cleveland that caused the american people at this moment to let their hearts go out to him for the american people admire courage in their public men in exact proportion to the infrequency with which they have a chance to see it instantly from having been merely a logical candidate for the presidency mr cleveland became the inevitable candidate the stampede of democrats to the ranks of the populist was checked at once all through the west the party lines were closed up solidly once more while in the east conservative men republicans and democrats alike rejoiced over the growing influence of this dominant personality it was only among a small coterie of professional politicians that the new aspect of affairs produced a feeling of anger and consternation before the appearance of the reform club letter there had been several aspirants whose chances for the next democratic nomination were seriously considered one was mr horace boyce of iowa an earnest able leader with convictions and a reputation for intelligence and integrity he had fought a hard fight on the tariff issue ever since mr cleveland's message of 1887 had brought that question to the forefront and in the campaign which followed the passage of the mckinley bill he had wiped out the vast republican majority in iowa and had been elected governor he was a man of the people in the best sense of the term representing new issues and new blood and he had always been consistently a cleveland democrat mr isaac pusey gray of indiana was an old-school party leader not conspicuous for his mental attainments but popular in his own state of which he had been governor it was thought that he could carry indiana and he had the negative qualification of having made no important enemies in the party still another receptive candidate was mr adlai stevenson of illinois who had been assistant postmaster general in mr cleveland's administration his partisanship while holding that office note 20 page 277 had highly committed him to the petty spoilsman of the democracy and they pictured to themselves with rare enthusiasm the liberal fashion in which if elected president he would deal out offices to faithful henchmen in the background alertly watching every opportunity was senator arthur p gorman of maryland senator gorman was one of the most astute and subtle of all the democratic leaders of irish descent and humble origin he had as a boy been a page in the senate chamber in after years with a truly celtic genius for political intrigue he had made himself master of the party organization in his own state and an important personage in the national councils smooth bland and insinuating he resembled both an appearance and in manner a typical italian ecclesiastic and his adroitness and inscrutability fully carried out the same resemblance mr gorman had kept on good terms with mr cleveland during the latter's presidency for his sake the administration had incurred the odium of retaining mr eugene higgins in office note 21 page 277 against the protest of the maryland civil service reformers and had given aid and comfort to mr gorman in his local party fights senator gorman however was always at heart absorbed in his own ambitions he had many private interests and personal associations not known to the world at large he spun webs of exceeding finest that were invisible even to his nearest friends and while he was all things to all men oily of speech and propitiatory and manner he nourished ambitions for which he would sacrifice unsparingly whatsoever person interfered with them the effect of mr cleveland's outspoken letter on the silver question had been to eliminate these four would-be rivals from immediate consideration there still remained however one who was rightly regarded by the cleveland democrats as a very formidable obstacle in the way of their candidates success this was mr david b hill who had been chosen democratic governor of new york in 1888 receiving for that office some eighteen thousand votes more than were given to mr cleveland at the same election note 22 page 278 governor hill now stood forth conspicuously as the only person who could possibly rest the next democratic nomination from mr cleveland and therefore around him there rallied all who represented machine politics hatred of reform and the worship of the great god expediency together with such as entertained a personal dislike for the only democrat who had been inaugurated president since 1857 mr hill was a lawyer who had attained to his prominent position by the most meticulous attention to the minutia of new york politics his private life was as blameless as his public record was vulnerable he had no personal vices even of the minor sort he neither smoked nor drank to the society of women he was utterly indifferent he cared nothing for money and earned a moderate income by hard professional labor his one joy in life was found in political strategy and intrigue to which his heart and mind and soul were unstintedly and absolutely given over great questions of public policy he wasted no reflection he seems to have had at this time no serious convictions on such national issues as the tariff finance or foreign relations it was the machinery of politics that absorbed his whole attention the manipulation of primaries the arrangement of slates the elaboration of deals the word juggling of party platforms the carrying of elections he knew the pettiest details of new york state politics by heart nothing was minute enough to escape his microscopic eye he mistook in fact political myopia for statesmanship and the march of great events bewildered him but in his own sphere he was unsurpassed as a wily patient and hitherto successful plotter a consummate artist and intrigue during his two terms as governor mr hill had devoted all his powers to building up an organization in new york state which should have the efficiency of an absolutely flawless machine and he had succeeded to a marvelous degree every local leader was a partisan of mr hill taking orders from him alone and executing them implicitly an alliance with tammany hall gave him support of that well-drilled and disciplined organization in short mr hill was now absolute master of the new york political engine and this fact gave him an undoubted claim upon the attention of the democratic party throughout the nation mr hale's friend said with an air finality hill carried new york state in 1888. cleveland lost it you can't win without new york hill is the man who can surely give you new york's 36 electoral votes this boast however was heard by many democrats with the deepest anger and resentment they said yes cleveland lost new york and hale carried it but why because hail sold out cleveland and made us lose the presidency in order that he might gain the governorship do you think that we have forgotten this and that we are going to give the highest honors of the party to the man who openly betrayed it but mr hill cared little for mere talk he set about giving the party and the country an object lesson of his grip upon new york he remarked to a friend of his presidential nominations are not handed out on silver solvers in these days in january 1892 the democratic national committee issued a call for the convention of the party to be held in chicago on june 21st within a few days on january 25th after this call had been promulgated the new york state committee at mr hill's dictation summoned a state convention to meet in albany on february 22 for the purpose of choosing new york's delegates to chicago the democrats of new york were startled never had a state convention been called so early four full months before the national convention it was clear that mr hill intended to steal a march upon the cleveland men to pack the state convention and to secure for himself the delegates from new york a burst of indignation and of angry protests came from every quarter against the attempt to force a snap judgment from a snap convention but the hill machine worked smoothly and began at once to grind out delegates to albany democrats friendly to mr cleveland refused to take any part in the district caucuses and so a solid body of snappers as they were called poured into albany on the 22nd to do the bidding of their master the convention met organized and finished its entire business in two hours and a half only three speeches were made all carefully revised beforehand mr cleveland's name was not so much as mentioned a delegation to chicago was selected pledged to mr hill who was then summoned from the delavan house where in tweed's old headquarters he had been waiting for his followers to do their work he spoke briefly and in a perfunctory sort of way and the gathering then adjourned the only spontaneous applause which had been heard there on that day was given to mr richard croaker the new head of tammany hall once more then mr cleveland was thought to be out of the running his own state had apparently declared against him and no candidate had ever received a nomination for the presidency without the support of his home delegation whether mr hill should win or not he seemed to have it in his power to defeat his quiescent rival or failing that to give the nomination to anyone with whom he could make the best political bargain the cleveland men in new york called a convention of their own alleging that the gathering at albany had not been truly representative these anti-snappers chose a cleveland delegation for chicago though there was practically no chance of it securing recognition there notes 23 page 281 for the moment the star of mr hill was undoubtedly in the ascendant in the meantime the republicans though outwardly harmonious were on the verge of serious dissension president harrison's administration had on the whole been satisfactory to the masses of his party but the president himself had not been able to inspire any marked devotion to his own person everyone admitted his integrity his good judgment and his ability he had gained the respect even of his opponents nowhere however was there the slightest enthusiasm for him or for his administration the feeling of the republican managers toward the president was not so tame a one as that of the rank and file it had in fact become one of positive and intense dislike quite typical was the changed attitude of two very conspicuous leaders mr thomas c platt of new york and senator matthew stanley key of pennsylvania mr platt had at the beginning of president harrison's term expected to receive either a cabinet office or some other high appointment it was he who as head of the republican state organization in 1888 had presumably arranged the bargain with the hill democrats by which hill had been chosen governor while the electoral votes of new york were cast for harrison mr platt however had been thwarted in his hope he had received no appointment to office though a certain amount of federal patronage had been placed at his disposal mr platt was a secretive silent sort of person and he accepted what was given him he was not however satisfied and he felt that he had been treated with ingratitude furthermore the president showed no great liking for his company nor did he receive mr platt's advice with any perceptible cordiality therefore mr platt in his subterranean fashion set himself to undermine president harrison with the party as a whole the case of mr key was somewhat different in his private life this man had many attractive qualities he was genuine and sympathetic in manner and was always doing little acts of spontaneous courtesy to those about him he had a scholars tastes and an elsevier horus was his constant companion but in his public career he was one of the most depressing illustrations of triumphant business in all american political history he perpetuated in pennsylvania the corrupt traditions of simon cameron who had been forced to leave president lincoln's first cabinet because he had used the war department's funds and private speculations key was a man without honor without principle and without shame he began his political life by the betrayal of his friends for a money bribe and this first act of his career was typical of all the rest his audacity however and his skill in appealing to the lowest motives of the men about him had given him almost absolute control of the republican party in pennsylvania his only rival being another able boss one chris mcgee key had at first secured a share of president harrison's favor and was rather ostentatiously his supporter but in 1890 something happened which affected the president very deeply in that year mr h c lee a very eminent and influential citizen of philadelphia published certain charges against senator key which if true made it clear that key's proper place was not in the senate of the united states but in the penitentiary mr lee declared and his assertion was corroborated by a vast amount of testimony that key while secretary of state for pennsylvania had misappropriated the sum of two hundred sixty thousand dollars which he had lost in speculation and that while state treasurer he had used four hundred thousand of the public funds in stock gambling which amount was subsequently replaced these charges were repeated in the house of representatives by mr r p kennedy of ohio but by a party vote the republican majority refused to let mr kennedy's speech appear upon the record key with his wanted shamelessness allowed the charges to go unanswered and though they were published all over the country he remained silent with regard to them the immediate result was an overwhelming democratic victory in pennsylvania in that year and the election of mr robert e patterson as governor that key was guilty of common theft was accepted as a fact not merely by the people at large but by the president whose sturdy honesty made him shrink from all association with a felon even though that felon had escaped unwhipped of justice key's anger was extreme in private he accused mr harrison of profiting by his services and then repudiating him under fire there were many other malcontents who mr harrison had either knowingly or unknowingly offended some by his cold unsympathetic manner others by his refusal to appoint them to office all these men flocked to plat and key as natural leaders and plotted with them to prevent the president's renomination it was plain enough that under ordinary circumstances the party was bound to make mr harrison its candidate a second time not to do so would be to declare that his administration had been a failure and thus to startify republican professions but if for him there could be substituted a still more eminent leader one of unquestioned supremacy and of unchallenged claims then this action would not necessarily put the party upon the defensive that mr blaine was such a leader could not be disputed and so the republican opponents of president harrison begged the great secretary for permission to use his name mr blaine's position was a very delicate one he had become almost as unfriendly to the president as had messer's key and platt though for very different reasons his personal and official intercourse with mr harrison had grown more and more distasteful to him the two men were temperamentally anti-pathetic blane ardent impulsive abounding in original ideas a man of imagination harrison cold sluggish matter of fact inhospitable to suggestion from the beginning the seeds of an estrangement were sown by the refusal of the president to appoint mr blaine's son walker to be assistant secretary of state this refusal constituted a personal a family grievance note 24 page 285 and other causes of a gradual alienation were presently not wanting during the chilean crisis the divergent views of the two had strained their relations nearly to the breaking point at one of the cabinet meetings mr blaine's excited opposition to the president's opinions became so violent as to induce an attack of vertigo and an illness of several days not from love of his chief therefore did the secretary of state reject the advances of key and the anti-harrison leaders but because of the fact that mr harrison was indeed his chief political etiquette and even common decency forbade a member of the cabinet to intrigue against the president who had appointed him and of whom he was the official advisor but urged the plotters why not resign the cabinet office and announce frankly that you are a candidate then another and an even stronger reason became known mr blaine in very truth was sick of party strife for thirty years he had toiled and fought he had received high honors even though he had failed of his supreme ambition but now he was weary of it all the noise the turmoil the intrigues and the lying the seething mass of mean ambitions the bald-eyed greed the insolence of vulgar curiosity the steam of sweating mobs and all for what mr blaine reviewed it with a sense of true perspective which comes to men with years and in his very soul he loathed the thought of dragging once again his weary limbs down into that wreaking roaring hell of all the evil passions his strength was spent though still apparently in perfect health there was lurking somewhere in his system an obscure disorder that was draining his vitality his chosen biographer tells us that he had become a hypochondriac given to morbid brooding over his condition and to the use of many drugs nothing not even the presidency seemed any longer worth his while and so he wrote an open letter declaring that he would not under any circumstances consent to be a candidate he and the other plotters therefore turned away from mr blaine and shaped their plans to give the nomination to ex-speaker reed who had also become estranged from president harrison the week sped on the republican convention at minneapolis had been summoned for the 7th of june on june 4th three days before the convention met the country was amazed to learn that mr blaine had written a curt note to the president resigning the secretary ship of state and asking that his resignation take effect at once note 25 page 286 intense excitement ran through the ranks of the republicans what was the meaning of this sudden act had mr blaine's health really broken down had he quarreled with the president it was felt that no matter what the ultimate cause might be the time chosen for the resignation made it an act of obvious unfriendliness to mr harrison senator key sought to rouse the all-time brain enthusiasm among the delegates but the effort was in vain some believed that their former hero's health was now completely shattered others resented the confusion and bewilderment caused by the letter of resignation mr blaine is playing fast and loose with us he will ruin himself by his duplicity said mr de pew until then his devoted admirer the plumed knight now carries a broken lance said mr new of indiana the anti-harrison leaders came to the convention with divided councils the harrison forces were compact and confident the former fought for delay in order to form new combinations and for three days the sessions were devoted to the platform and to trivial details the read movement did not appeal to very many and the delegates from mr reed's own section failed to stand by him greatly to the disgust of several of his ardent friends mr then governor mckinley of ohio had been made permanent president of the convention and the enthusiasm which his appearance called forth led the opponents of mr harrison to boom the high tariff advocate though soon they returned once more to mr blaine finally on june 9th in the midst of the flurry a vote upon the admission of a contesting delegation afforded a fair trial of the relative strength of the two factions the blaine men controlled 423 delegates the harrison men 463 instantly there was a break in the ranks of the opposition it was plain that harrison must win all the time servers at once flocked to him on the following day after the usual speech making mr harrison who had been put in nomination by mr debut was chosen on the first ballot with 535 votes or 82 more than were required mr blaine received 182 votes and governor mckinley precisely the same number on the following day mr white law reed the editor of the new york tribune was nominated for the vice presidency when mr blaine learned of what had happened he wrote an open letter urging his friends with all the loyalty of a veteran to support the minneapolis ticket but mrs blaine remarked in the presence of a large gathering i am sick and tired of the whole thing it was in truth upon mrs blaine that the responsibility of this rather pitiable dinuma rested no authorized explanation of mr blaine's sudden retirement from the cabinet has ever been put forth yet it was perfectly well known to many of the time that this step so ill-advised and so contrary to mr blaine's own judgment was taken because of his wife's insistence mrs blaine was a very masterful high-spirited woman unblessed with tact and far too prone to interfere with her husband's political concerns more than once in his career this interference had caused him great embarrassment though matters had always been arranged in such a way as to avoid anything like an overt escalander but when mr blaine entered president harrison's cabinet his political difficulties were heightened by domestic complications almost at the outset a coolness arose between the wife of the secretary of state and the wife of the president and this coolness increased until it became at last a positive antipathy mrs blaine was far too conscious of the fact that her husband might have been elected president in place of mr harrison had he chosen to accept the nomination in 1888 and she let this consciousness be felt in many of the irritating little ways which feminine ingenuity so easily devises mrs harrison not unnaturally resented this with a result that can be imagined when therefore mr blaine was urged to let his name be used in opposition to the president mrs blaine became an active ally of the anti-harrison politicians for a long time she was unsuccessful but age and illness had sapped her husband's power of will and had perhaps obscured his judgment so that finally he yielded to incessant domestic pressure and took the step which resulted so disastrously from that moment his political career was ended he retired to his home in maine and after a lingering illness died early in the following year note 26 page 289 there is something infinitely pathetic in a survey of mr blaine's remarkable career with so many qualities with such high ambitions and such splendid opportunities he never reached the goal upon which his gaze had been continually fixed and toward which he had struggled with such dauntless hope and energy it is not too much to say of him that for resourcefulness and for that sort of imagination which enters into constructive statesmanship he had had no equal since the days of jefferson he possessed every gift that goes with supreme leadership save only one he lacked that higher moral sense without which in the last and crucial test a statesman's strength is turned to weakness as was said of him at the time he reflected accurately the influences that were in the ascendant throughout the civil war amid whose storm and stress his political character had been molded the ardent patriotism the fiery courage the intense devotion to a cause which made that period memorable were his but through all those years he had seen about him the play of meaner motives and the inevitable job re and corruption which are the accompaniment of war and a long familiarity with these had blunted a naturally fine sense of honor and had led him to set expediencies sometimes in the place of right the most serious charges brought against him were undoubtedly untrue but he had so acted as to justify them in the minds of millions of his countrymen and he was forced to pay the penalty of his indiscretion yet whatever were his faults he was a very great american and when he bad farewell to public life even his political opponents thought of him was something more than kindness at a democratic mass meeting held at chicago in the campaign which followed a speaker chance to mention mr blaine at once the great audience sprang to its feet and thundered forth its uncontrollable applause when it subsided the speaker said blaine seems to have more friends here than he had at minneapolis and a voice replied amid a second tempest of applause we were all his friends end of chapter six part two chapter six part 3 of 20 years of the republic 1885 to 1905 by harry thurston peck this librivox recording is in the public domain the election of 1892 part three the democratic national convention met at chicago on june 21st with mr william l wilson of west virginia as its permanent president events had taken an unexpected turn senator hill's snap convention of the proceeding february had proved to be a political boomerang its action so far from coercing the democrats of other states had inspired them with indignation toward mr hill and with enthusiasm for mr cleveland they regarded the maneuver as the most unworthy trick the prominence of tammany in the whole proceeding had repelled them for tammany had always been mistrusted by the democracy at large particularly in the west therefore a very strong drift had at one second toward mr cleveland's candidacy in the words of general bragg uttered in 1884 men loved him most of all for the enemies that he had made state after state had instructed its delegates to vote for him and it was already plain that he would have a sure majority in the convention at chicago democratic usage however required a two-thirds vote to affect a nomination and therefore senator hill did not yet despair he might not himself win but he felt that he could at least defeat his arrival and give the nomination to another candidate even mr cleveland's friends were still afraid to hope mr tracy of new york met colonel morrison of illinois in washington a day or two before the convention had assembled morrison said he we are going to nominate cleveland or die maybe returned morrison but are you certain that you are not going to do both when the convention met however the tide for cleveland was running like a mill race his portraits were displayed all over the city his badges were on the breasts of more than half the delegates his name alone seemed to be in the mouth of everyone a feeling of buoyant confidence inspired the great crowds which poured into chicago a sense of coming victory was in the air the democracy was at last in fighting trim and had fixed upon a leader whose invincibility no doubt was felt ex-secretary whitney was in charge of mr cleveland's canvas he had come to chicago expecting to make an uphill fight but he found himself at once the master of the situation i can't keep the votes back said he to an intimate friend they tumble in at the windows as well as at the doors on june 20th the day before the convention was opened even the new york sun grudgingly admitted that cleveland's nomination was quite probable the immense wigwam at chicago with its amphitheater roped off like a prize ring was back to suffocation mr wilson whose voice was weak and whose presence was unimpressive could not control the delegates who sang and cheered and had things wholly their own way in the committee which drafted the platform there was a sharp struggle over its tariff plank the conservatives of the committee inserted a shifty and ambiguous declaration such as had been usual in other years and being in the majority they had adopted it no sooner had it been read to the convention however than it was greeted with tempestuous derision the delegates were in an aggressive mood they would have no compromise no evasion of a dominant issue and so by a great majority the plank as reported was stricken out and a substitute adopted bolder than any declaration on the subject of the tariff which a democratic convention had ever ventured to put forth it began we denounce republican protection as a fraud a robbery of the great majority of the american people for the benefit of the few we declare it to be a fundamental principle of the democratic party that the federal government has no constitutional power to impose and collect tariff duties except for the purposes of revenue only and we demand that the collection of such taxes shall be limited to the necessities of the government when honestly and economically administered in vigorous phrase it went on to speak of the mckinley tariff law as the culminating atrocity of class legislation it pledged the party to give the people free raw materials and cheaper manufactured goods it declared that since the mckinley tariff had gone into operation wages had been lowered in many trades with resulting strikes and general distress it called attention to the fact that after 30 years of high protection the homes and farms of the country have become burdened with a real estate mortgage of over 2 billion 500 million dollars and it denounced a policy which fosters no industry so much as it does that of the sheriff the convention had now taken the bit between its teeth and was beyond control the hill leaders fought vainly to secure delay the discussion of the platform had lasted until nearly midnight and an attempt was made to adjourn the convention until the following day the motion was shouted down amid indescribable uproar the delegates refused to adjourn before the candidates were nominated the customary nominating speeches were then made mr cleveland's name was presented by governor abbott of new jersey and the name of senator hill by mr william c dewitt of new york other candidates were put in nomination among them governor boys of iowa senator gorman of maryland and mr stevenson of illinois it was now two o'clock in the morning but the convention showed no signs of weariness the vote was certain to be taken before daybreak the friends of mr hale therefore played their trump card the threat that mr cleveland could not possibly be elected without the vote of his own state to drive home the assertion with all possible point and power they had reserved their ableist speaker until this moment at 2 15 am the bulky form of mr bork cochrane was seen emerging from the mass of delegates and moving toward the platform mr cochrane was an irishman by birth who had come to new york as a young man and had been admitted to the bar achieving great success as a jury lawyer fluent of speech witty and adroit he was a natural rhetorician and could be either denunciatory or persuasive with great effect in after years he received the nickname of the mulligan guard demosthenes because his eloquence was almost always at the disposal of tammany hall nevertheless he was a superb stump speaker and even the cleveland men became hushed and silent to catch his opening words mr cochrane had some of the gifts of a very clever actor as he faced his audience he seemed languid heavy-eyed and utterly exhausted a feeling of sympathy won him the good will of the convention before he spoke a word then in a voice that was rich and resonant he uttered an earnest plea for harmony making it appear that harmony could be achieved only by dropping mr cleveland as a candidate here he spoke with perfect tact anxious to offend no prejudice for the personality of mr cleveland he entertained so he said the most profound respect i feel for him a personal friendship i oppose him in this convention solely because he stands between the democratic party and the light of victory he spoke of the great tidal wave of 1890 which had overflowed the force bill and repudiated mckinleyism he alluded to the service which mr hill had rendered in that fight and to the importance of new york as a factor in the election which was imminent pennsylvania boasts he then went on that she has never made a threat in a convention i ask you what could pennsylvania threaten pennsylvania in november with her 32 electoral votes will thrust the democracy of new york into the ditch dug for it here i believe that mr cleveland is a popular man applause a most popular man increased applause let me now add that he is a man of most extraordinary popularity on every day of the year except election day uproar he is popular in republican states because his democracy is not offensive to republicans i oppose him in this convention because his candidacy impales the success which now comes to us with bright alluring prospects i appeal to you to pause now before this contemplated action is taken before this invasion is made complete build a gentleman build your hopes of success not upon the shifting sands of political professions build it upon the solid rock of democratic harmony of democratic unity and of democratic enthusiasm then the people in whom you have trusted will repay your confidence with majorities so decisive that republican prospects throughout the union will receive a completer check even then they have received in the state whose triumphant democracy now asks you only for permission to win for you a democratic victory in november note 27 page 295 but mr cochran's eloquence was unable to stem the tide in the early hours of the morning the role of the convention was called and long before the last delegation had responded it was plain to everyone that mr cleveland had secured not merely a bare majority but more than the two-thirds necessary to make him his party's candidate the record showed that 617 votes were cast for him 10 more than were required while senator hill received only 114 governor boyce 103 and senator gorman 36 amid a scene of tumultuous enthusiasm with bands blaring and banners waving the galleries joined with the excited partisans upon the floor enchanting a song which had struck the fancy of the public note 28 page 295 grover grover four more years of grover in he comes out they go then will be in clover on the following day to please the old-fashioned party men mr adlai e stevenson of illinois was nominated for the vice presidency another candidate was said to be more acceptable to mr cleveland but just before the balloting began a serious personal scandal regarding him became known to the delegates and served to prevent his nomination it was characteristic of mr cleveland that on the night when his political fate was hanging in the balance he should have been chatting quietly in a friend's library far distant from the telegraph wires and quite out of reach even of his own excited partisans when the news was brought to him the next morning he received it with the same tranquility that had marked his bearing ever since his retirement from office the same news was heard in a very different spirit by mr dana of the sun he had pinned his faith on hill up to the last moment hoping against hope in his paper for june 22nd he had styled hill that heroic and powerful statesman a faithful fearless and successful champion now that mr cleveland had been nominated dana was in a dreadful quandary he hated cleveland and everything for which cleveland stood yet not to support the nominee of the democratic party would probably mean for himself and for his paper financial ruin furthermore there was no other party open to him and so he reversed himself in a fashion so awkward and so insincere as to excite the mirth of everyone pretending that republican success would mean the enactment of a force bill he came out for cleveland on june 24th saying that the one supreme issue was the question whether those southern states which have inherited a negro population surpassing the number of their white citizens shall by federal law and federal military force be subjected to the political domination of the negroes to negro legislatures negro governors and to negro judges in their courts or whether they shall continue to be governed by white men as now better vote for the liberty and the white government of the southern states even if the candidate were the devil himself rather than consent to the election of respectable benjamin harrison with a force bill in his pocket and so throughout the ensuing campaign mr dana devoted himself to writing vociferous leaders around his watchwords no force bill no negro domination the populists held their national convention at omaha on july 2nd and nominated for the presidency general james b weaver of iowa note 29 page 297 and for the vice presidency mr james g field of virginia their platform accused both of the older parties of subserviency to the capitalists declaring that from the same prolific womb of governmental injustice we breed the two great classes of traps and millionaires it demanded among other things the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1 a graduated income tax the establishment of postal savings banks and the ownership by the government of railroads telegraphs and telephones few political campaigns in american history have been conducted upon so high a plane as that which followed in the summer and autumn of 1892 president harrison said in a spirit that did him honor i desire this campaign to be one of republicanism and not one of personalities a very dignified campaign it was even the speakers upon the stump alluded to their opponents in terms of personal respect no scandals were unearthed and no sensational episodes occurred like that of the merchant letter the main fight between the two great parties was fought out upon the issue of the tariff for the first time in its history the republican party was on the defensive in 1884 it had been obliged to defend the record of mr blaine but its own past was held to be unassailable now the inequalities of the mckinley tariff were vigorously attacked by every democratic speaker and the explanation and defense of them taxed the ingenuity of the republicans higher prices and lower wages were indeed strong democratic arguments president harrison's own contribution to political discussion consisted of the sapient remark a cheap coat means a cheap man under the coat an epigram which was about as convincing as dr johnson's burlesque line who drives fat oxen must himself be that by tacit consent both republicans and democrats said very little about the silver question the populists on the other hand preach the doctrine of free silver with great vigor and enthusiasm in some states of the west and south coalitions were made with a populist party thus in louisiana the republicans divided their electoral ticket evenly with the populists in oregon one populist elector was placed upon the democratic ticket and in minnesota both democrats and populists united upon four electors in five states colorado idaho kansas north dakota and wyoming the democrats nominated no electoral ticket at all but voted for the populistic candidates the object of this was not merely to defeat the republicans at the polls it was thought possible that enough populist electors might be elected to prevent any party from having a clear majority in the electoral college in that event the election would be thrown into the house of representatives note 30 page 299 voting by states in which case the democrats would have a clear majority as the summer drew near its end both parties were hopeful yet both believe that the result would be very close one feature of the election would be novel for the first time it was recognized that money could no more be used in directly bribing voters of the 44 states of the union 35 had adopted some form of the australian ballot thus enabling the voter to cast his vote in secrecy as was written at the time no blocks of five can be marched to the polls on election day with their ballots held in sight of the man who has bought them till they are dropped into the ballot boxes what the same isolation will accomplish in great manufacturing centers is equally obvious no working man need fear loss of employment if he votes in accordance with his own beliefs and against the interests of his employer for his employer cannot see how he votes in the list of the 35 states which have the new systems are to be found all the so-called doubtful states and all those states in the northwest in which the tariff reform settlement has made such havoc with all-time republican majorities in the great cities of the land there is another gain from the new system which is as important as that of the secret ballot trading and deals will be practically impossible because of the difficulties which are thrown in the way other agencies for securing votes must be sought and other managers and professional corruptionists and traders must be put at the head of the party organizations to conduct the campaign note 31 page 299 something which occurred in pennsylvania during this year did much to endanger the prospects of republican success in june the carnegie steel company at homestead reduced the wages of its employees a trade organization known as the amalgamated steel and iron workers sought to intercede but the carnegie company refused to recognize it and soon afterwards ordered a shutdown and closed its works throwing thousands of men out of employment these men a majority of whom had served the company long and faithfully were not strikers they were so merely deprived of their employment for the sole reason that they were members of a union the intention of the company was to reopen the mills with non-union men anticipating trouble the carnegie managers instead of appealing to the authorities for legal protection employed a force of armed men to act as a garrison for the mills this small army was placed in armored barges and brought to homestead by the river as they neared their destination the men who had been locked out fired upon them and were met by a counterfire a sort of battle took place lasting for nearly two days and involving the use of cannon and of burning oil with which the river was flooded seven of the carnegie army were killed and a much larger number wounded the loss of their assailants was even greater in the end the men in the barges surrendered and were badly treated by a mob and finally state troops were sent to homestead and restored order by the establishment of martial law in various ways this incident was unfortunate for the republicans in the first place here was a highly protected industry cutting down the wages of its workmen at the very time when republican orators were proclaiming the blessings of the mckinley bill in the second place the country beheld a very striking instance of the lawlessness of corporations these great steel magnates so said the democrats were acting precisely after the fashion of feudal barons maintaining private armies disdaining the protection of the law and shooting down citizens without any legal warrant the employment of armed men by corporations had already attracted the attention of congress and the bloody affair at homestead made the private militia system exceedingly unpopular another cause of concern to the party in power was the condition of the national treasury the billion dollar congress had not only wiped out the surplus but had authorized expenses which it was practically impossible to meet for the six months ending december 31st 1891 the treasury had paid out 86 million dollars less than was called for by the existing laws this sum had not been paid for the excellent reason that the funds were lacking the customs revenue had fallen off expenses had increased and now the government of the richest nation in the world was in the position of a hard-up debtor postponing from day to day the payment of its bills and living as it were from hand to mouth on the whole then the democratic chances seemed very good only in one state but that a most important one could danger be detected this was in new york mr hill and his followers had returned from the national convention in a sullen mood they had been soundly beaten by the cleveland element would they take their revenge upon election day this was a question which perplexed the democratic managers and most of all mr w c whitney who felt himself responsible for the result in his own state the most dangerous element of opposition as in 1884 was to be found in tammany hall john kelly had died and had been succeeded by mr richard croaker who now wielded a power far greater even than that of kelly croaker was an irishman by birth who had been brought to the united states when he was two years old he had been a machinist and then a fireman and had gradually worked his way into local politics advancing from one position to another until in 1886 he became the head of one of the most formidable political organizations in the world he was a man of immense force of character illiterate but shrewd in many of his personal traits as in his physical appearance he reminded one of general grant having the same test eternity the same grim doggedness of purpose the same iron strength of will the vote of new york city was in his gift and he had been consistently opposed to mr cleveland nevertheless it was known that tammany hall was anxious not to be regarded as disloyal to the party years before croaker had been accused of murder and among his counsel had been mr whitney for him ever since that time croaker had entertained a kindly feeling upon this feeling mr whitney diplomatically worked until croaker agreed to meet his party's candidate and come if possible to an understanding he not unnaturally supposed that mr cleveland would give promises in exchange for croaker's own promise to make his men vote straight mr cleveland however showed no inclination for an interview with croaker it was only as a personal favor to mr whitney that he at last consented and the three men with the second tammany chief dined together in a private room at mr whitney's house when the political conversation began mr cleveland took a line that was most unexpected instead of suggesting conciliation and speaking smoothly he squared his shoulders and gave croaker such a talk as he had never listened to before he told him what he thought of tammany hall of tammany politics and of tammany men as he towered above croaker punctuating his remarks with heavy blows of his fist upon the table he completely dominated the great boss who in reply could merely iterate his hope that matters might be arranged between them in the end mr cleveland said that what had happened in the past would not influence him in his future actions and with this very meager concession croaker had to go away content mr cleveland in fact meant to win the presidency if he won it at all without giving pledges to any human being among the many interesting anecdotes then current regarding him one of the most characteristic was told by a distinguished man of letters who had long been his intimate personal friend there was a certain rich contractor a blaine irishman a liberal employer of labor who because of his own ancestry was thought to have great influence with the irish voters in new york just at that time the irish vote in new york was a very uncertain element in democratic calculations therefore it occurred to the literary gentleman who happened to know the contractor very well that he might perhaps do his favorite candidate a good turn by bringing the two men into personal relations so it came to pass that one evening they met in the poet's library without the least suspicion on their part that the interview had been pre-arranged after a few moments their host made some excuse for slipping out of the room returning at the end of half an hour he found mr cleveland and the contractor chatting very amicably together a little later the ex-president having finished his call departed well said the host what do you think of him the contractor's face fairly glowed ah sure said he's slipping into his native brogue he's the greatest man i ever saw he's a fine man a grand man he wouldn't promise to do one d blank d thing i asked him and from that time until election day no one worked harder for mr cleveland than the man who had failed to extort a single promise from him the november election astonished democrats republicans and populists alike mr cleveland swept the country of course the southern states were solidly for him but in addition he carried all the doubtful states connecticut indiana new jersey and new york while to the amazement of the political prophets california illinois and wisconsin gave him their electoral votes michigan cast five of its nine votes for him and even ohio the home of mr mckinley returned one democratic elector in the electoral college cleveland and stevenson had 277 votes against 145 for harrison and reid note 32 page 304 even had mr cleveland lost new york the presidency would still have been his own a very startling result of the election was the enormous strength displayed by the populist throughout the west not only did their candidate general weaver poll more than a million votes but he actually carried four states colorado idaho kansas and nevada receiving also one electoral vote in oregon and one in north dakota for the first time since the birth of the republican party a third political organization was represented among the presidential electors note 33 page 305 it is true that the vote given to the populists was an exaggeration of their actual numbers because in all but one of the states which they carried the democrats had made no nominations but nonetheless the election figures were indicative of an immense popular upheaval that was ominous for the future of the older parties meanwhile mr cleveland had won an extraordinary personal triumph disliked by all the politicians nominated against the protest of his own state and opposed by the powerful corporate interests throughout the country he had nevertheless been carried into the presidency by a great spontaneous movement of the people themselves who gave him their implicit confidence because they felt that in him they had found a leader courageous enough to defy coercion and of moral fiber strong enough to resist those other influences which are only the more dangerous because insidious he received the presidency for the second time bound by no pledge save that contained in the declaration of his party to govern honestly to reduce the tariff and to curb the trusts end of chapter 6. | Priceless Audiobooks | UCly1zcKPGzGW9wZMCZodWOA | 2020-06-10 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 15,695 | 90,654 |

EcYAmm8shuo | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcYAmm8shuo | [FFXIV-ARR] Let's Play - E07 - Angry Men & Giant Eggs | hello and welcome back to my let's play of final fantasy 14. we last left off uh after meeting pappalimo and eda the uh strangers in the woods and we handed in a quest and began you want to obtain egg sacs from chico's so without further ado let's get on with the show now those chico exactly they're gonna be back this way somewhere so let's just head out there and uh one thing while i'm traveling i should point out that uh over the next two or three episodes if there's any uh voiceover that sounds a little bit uh unusual it's probably because i'm using a better take from the earlier recordings it got crypted as the audio survived completely intact anyway let's get on with killing these chicos and these flame icons you see here it's the main story quest icon it's just telling you that these mobs are related to where main story quests that we're doing [Music] right i think we'll try and grab a few of these water sprites while we're at it they're part of our hunting log should only need three of them i believe let's have a look how many is it yeah only free [Music] all right and let's kill some of you guys all right one more after this i believe uh nope no notification so yep i think we yep definitely still need one more all right just stick an arrow on him and a few more rocks all right now let's uh head back to that guy give him the uh she goes exacts get a little bit of a sprint going on all right it's uh this guy here i thought it was back at the original camper i guess not ah you must be the adventurer stand in for our injured companions terribly unfortunate business that right there you go it seems however that you had little trouble gathering the x sucks in their stead excellent work i shall have them sent over to the trappers league immediately lest you wonder these exacts are not destined for the dinner table members of the twin udder and the wood whalers are assisting the league by collecting the samples they need to check for signs of sickness the chigo you see is one of the few creatures capable of transmitting the disease known as the creeping death until relatively recently any here who contract this ghastly illness would almost invariably perish indeed a single outbreak once claimed the lives of a third of the urine population here in gridania that was a long time ago of course with the medicines available to us now the creeping death is not the killer it once was even so it is best told any newer bricks before they occur thus we gather two go eggs on a regular basis in order to assist the trappers leak with their ongoing research your timing assistance is most appreciated high portion and wind shot [Music] such an embarrassing turn of events i sent a recruit from the bannock on a survey an expedition only for the craven to turn tail and flea at the first sign of trouble this is not how we treat requests from the conjurers and is this and as if such a poor shooting went bad enough the lily-livered halfway left behind the surveying equipment provided by hero pauline herself while i attempt to instill some backbone into the so-called soldier would you mind recovering the survey again and return it to hear a pauline at gabano's bower according to my recruits tale of war there should be a set of survey records a soviet's rope and two boxes of surveyor's instruments strewn about the interior of a cave to the south of here it's a wonder the damn fool didn't lose his boots may rewatch your view okey-dokey let's have a quick look what this guy has for us uh needs an adventure to spot didn't we just get a high potion uh oops wrong menu yes we did all right let's have a look oh gods of the pain i caught a squirrel squirrels known on the fences earlier i managed to drive them off but not before they decided on me instead and now i'm the bloody mess you see before you to make matters worse i find myself without so much as a single high portion i know i know foolhardy i vaguely recall using my last one after some trifling scrape several moons past the gods alone know why i didn't think they replaced it there and then would not be carrying a spare flask uh i would indeed if you don't have any on hand the merchant at the bannock should have some in her stock i can't leave my posts of you could bring me a high portion i'd be tremendously grateful right well uh why you couldn't just ask this guy over here he seems to have a plenty air supply to give out to adventurers but not you okay right seven heals did those accursed squirrels leave any part of me untouched ah you're back do you have that high portion for me i do indeed there you go thank the gods i owe you one my friend yeah i want you to have this i had no idea scrolls could bite so hard i thought i had seen everything but seems like still surprises to be found in the 12's wood we both would do well to remember that all right please yeah the one i've got is better so i'll take the cash reward [Music] right now where were we heading next uh to the south it looks like all right uh i'll be glad once i've uh got access to a mount i believe that's at level 20 although it might be level 30 i can't remember for certain at this moment and then i'll be uh less running about less uh time used up see if we can sneak past these bog yards without uh tracking them oh now we got myself stuck oh no there we go we've pulled anyways never mind [Music] all right let's see oh he's already pulled well we can see the severe records off in the distance there and oh no that's a water sprite all right uh yeah he's probably gonna pull as well isn't he oh is he nope you won't leave us alone well that's nice of you uh all right that's one set of survey records definitely gonna have to take care of this guy right and then of our guard and of course we've got our air surface instruments just down at the left nothing i can see the last one in the distance unless that's a water spray playing tricks on me and the survey as a rope yeah was the oh instruments but uh the water spray was kind of blended in with it [Music] right get you out of the way right let's get these instruments and uh head back to was it pauline that we had to return these two all right uh yeah to pauline so we'll just step back the way we came i think that's the easiest way yeah oops not paying attention too busy looking at my map [Music] all right oh god this might be a long trip uh getting back out of here um yeah i think we're gonna have to fight the whole way through i don't think we're going to be able to squeeze past these guys [Music] right um let's get this one out of our way as well right on we go to uh the location of pawnee which i believe this hurt over here all right and we go hello pauline got some stuff you were expecting yes may i assist you with some matter yep here's the stuff oh but this is the equipment i left with the soldiers of the panic vladi first fled at the first time of danger you say i see well all is not lost it appears the recruit managed to complete the surveying assignment the records are actually quite detailed with the changes wrought by the clumpy i fought it wise to send the order of the twin adder on a number of expeditions to map the region's topography as fortune would have it the officer saw these tasks as an excellent opportunity to train inexperienced soldiers we can no longer rely on our past knowledge of the twelves would if we understand these troubled times we must reacquaint ourselves with our surroundings that we may better discern the threats we face stay vigilant adventure right i think that's an upgrade uh yep definitely so we'll take that [Music] and get a quick look at our armory chest uh oh we've gotta go from last time let's put on now right and we'll equip this now i believe this is a hoodie and you see it's put my head back into my armor chest it has a hood built into it so uh you can't actually use a head uh item in the head slot when you're using the hoodie as i like to call them i'm never too sure exactly how we identify them from just regular chess pieces but never mind i'm sure you guys will be able to figure that out and maybe in for me something just check we've got our recommended yeah yeah close that and close our inventory all right what else have you got for us i just didn't make such a dangerous request but might you assist us in thin the number of animals on naked rock no efforts to commune with the elementals we conjures often find ourselves in the area of late however our meditations have all too frequently been uninterrupted by unprovoked animal attacks truly the beasts grow more aggressive by the day their numbers have continued to grow since the advent of the seventh umbral era you see forcing packs of the scale kent to come down from the mountains in search of food if you could slay a handful of the beasts that should lessen their need to hunt and also serve as a warning to the animals to remain within that territory but i am afraid you must do more than thin the existing population if we are to truly break the spiraling growth then we must also target their future offspring bring me one of their eggs and you will have played your part in returning balance to this area of the forest all right let's have a look what you've got for me as well god's damn you mushroom-headed spindly-legged spore-spewing abominations suck the life out of my precious trees will you damn you do the seven hmm oh thank the materian you look like just the sword help me deal with this nightmare my poor trees trees i have tended since they were scarcely saplings i might add have been infested with parasite fungus if i let those pests have their way my babies will be no but dead wood before the week is out smear a little of this amber and went on an infested tree though and the hard creatures will drop clean off allowing you to administer adventurous style vengeance did you hear that you're malignant towards stools your end is nigh you'll rue the day you um my apologies the ref was upon me fear not i am now quite calm so the fung was bastards that they are have attached themselves to free trees once you've ground those treacherous mushrooms into a pulp beneath your righteous boots come back and tell me exactly how it felt um okay dude let's see that's one over there but i think there's one yep just around this corner all right so uh amber um and let's kill this uh giant goomba ugly things that they are this is going to finish them off yes and the next one and went again right okey-dokey and the third and final tree just over here yeah nope that's not my dog where is he oh there he is he's hiding on top of the tree behind the little uh cherry bush [Music] all right there we go and let's go back and tell gabino that uh his trees are safe well did you take care of my fungue infestation yes at last i can enjoy a restful night's sleep i must say i'm glad to be an adventure of such talent i just look at you and all your finger-splattered glory you'll have my thanks ah gloves are you an upgrade no you're basically the same with a slight bit of armor increase um take the cash reward i think all right so what else did you have for me that's you well rick after the thrashing you gave those infernal fungus i do believe you might be the very person a solvent of a problem of mine micro chews these vial little beasts draw their sustenance directly from the soil ordinarily the forest would be only too happy to provide but these days there are just two bloody many of them so many in fact that they're leeching every last neutron from the ground you think the soil is put here just for you and you'll make your two mates yeah i should go over there and and well i'm not really sure what it is i should do but someone should certainly do something and soon before i i i apologize the rage you see it takes over and there's no what i can do but fume and splitter if you could see your way to exterminating aid or some of those soily spoilers you would have my eternal gratitude once you've taken care of the micro jews i'd be grateful if you would report to eldriff you'll find him just outside i hear the degradation of the soil has been as much a source of consternation to him as it has to me and i'm sure he'd appreciate knowing the problems being solved okey dokey micro choose it is [Music] and we also need to get an animal egg and kill free animals while we're up here let's just have a quick look where those animals were in fact uh soldiers breakfast yeah directly so it's on the way through where killing off a ton of microchips how many do we have to get rid of eight until quite a few um while i remember um if you guys could leave any feedback uh post of all negative in the comments what you like and then what you're not liking about the videos it would uh be gratefully appreciated and um i'll see if i can't implement any of those changes going forward in future videos all right that was number four still a good few minutes ago [Music] a couple back there which i think will target next behind those trees or maybe we'll get those two up last see how this works out uh just the two over there probably a little bit safer anyways seen uh that i'll only have two potential uh enemies attack me at once although these guys don't appear to be aggressive i'm not entirely sure what these uh mutated plants are meant to be if they're uh based on anything however it's just completely unique perhaps from uh dungeons and dragons their appearance but i'm not very familiar with d d so yeah all right we need uh one more let's see you'll do [Music] all right now i believe the animal egg was up this direction somewhere although i had a bit of difficulty finding it the uh the previous uh time that i recorded this so hopefully it's not going to be such a nuisance this time i know that uh it's quite a deadly area too where if you're not careful you can easily get surrounded and overpowered up here so we're going to try and be really careful not to let that happen i think the egg is up by this rock somewhere get a heal after killing this guy can't be so too many of those attacks nope still not dead that's the job all right head back this way and as i say try to get to that can we get one of these on their own possibly all right come here no calling for your friends now all right now we'll finish you off i don't want to be standing that [Music] all right this will be number three but of course we still need to get a hold of the egg ah yep there's the egg just where fort was but three versus one this might be a bit tricky okay one on one i'll take those odds did that hit us uh no i think we managed to avoid oh we've got somebody behind us now as i said this area can be fairly deadly no please tell me that's none of one behind us no it was just his all right let's get heal on myself all right oops not much longer to get him finished off now i think all right and let's kill him as well nick the egg and then once we head back to town i think we'll be calling it an episode as we're closing in on the half an hour mark get a quick healing and finish them off right now back to uh gabano and eldriff um while i recall just a little tip for you guys you see uh where was it after the but after the bean thieves uh we said we were going to ignore that in earlier episode so uh what we're going to do is just here in the journal click that once click the second time and it takes out of the uh tracked quests so that you've got one less distraction to think about you say you've slain a good number of those micro jews well as a welcome piece of news i was afraid old gabano would take an axe in hand and try to hack apart the pests himself perhaps now his troubled mind might know some peace you'll have my thanks right belt yep we haven't got one so we'll definitely take the belt um let's actually put that while we're at it there it is all right pauline ah you have returned now might my brothers and sisters continue their meditations undisturbed you have my thanks as for the egg may i ask you to deliver the soup camazon at the bannock animal eggs are both large and filled with nutrients the perfect meal for a soldier she will be more than a little pleased to see you i should imagine okey-dokey that's fine by me um that's a little look four minutes left we'll try and get a little bit more footage in here we need to be back at the bannock can we no we can't teleport directly there we'll get a sprint going on [Music] all right just the back okay a little bit glitchy though getting stuck on the air model all right sub amazon we have an egg for you who goes there oh elric it's you hmm another delivery yep there's one egg i'm not certain i should be the one to buy norfolk that's an annual leg the troops will be glad to see one of these at the table and you say here pauline sent you on this errand i hear the animals are more numerous than ever yet you appear to have managed the task with your skin intact your skill and bravery continue to amaze me alright um and another new weapon amazon upgrade mine won a little bit of damage might as well take it i mean uh yeah i'll take it all right and recommend it yeah we'll equip that and we'll uh call it an episode so we'll see you guys next time | BiggsTheGamer | UCSqamV5sWacip9mAzwB1wwg | 2021-09-17 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

CjkpQsFUukE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjkpQsFUukE | Unmasking Bullying: How Toxic Behavior Grows into Bully Culture | Insights from Dr. Jan | [Music] hi it's Dr Jan with some wise words to work with and have you ever wondered how bullying starts and how it turns into bully culture and becomes normalized and becomes part of the organizational Norms values and behaviors that's exactly what we're going to talk about and I'm going to answer those questions for you but I want to clear up one thing before we get started and that bullying starts it has nothing to do with the target it has nothing to do with the target's personality or them reporting The Bullying bullying starts because of an individual or individuals in an organization who are insecure who are not feeling great about their work and they bully be to cover it up to gain power and because of their personal insecurity so it has everything to do with the bully and not really anything to do with the person being targeted and so bullying starts as uh some isolated incidences or acts of aggression that can be anything it can be interrupting calling someone names uh cyber abuse but it these are viewed then in the workplace as harmless as minor as something that will take care of itself and so what happens is when these behaviors it's very likely that these behaviors could be reported and it's very likely they are noticed but they are seen as isolated incidents they're not seen as a big deal and so nobody holds that person accountable and then what happens is the bully is given the green light to continue and these behaviors over time escalate and when these behaviors go unchecked they attract like-minded people and and that is that people openly support the bully and openly engage in bullying behaviors or they passively support the bullying a bullies actions so when bystanders put their heads down when bystanders don't report that behavior is passively supporting the workplace bully and so over time again this isn't something that's happening in two weeks or four weeks this is is happening over a significant amount of time where the bully engages in bullying Behavior they see what's going to happen to them and when not when they're not held accountable they uh increase the intensity of their bullying and they push the bar so to speak so the negative behavior essentially gains momentum and it creates a toxic culture which turns into bully culture where bullying becomes the norm so over time then you have everybody has their role targets bystanders and Bullies okay and over time the bully gains more power more control they can create um that Culture of Fear where the group dynamics become dysfunctional where bystandard believe that the target uh they have my side buys and they believe that the target deserves it and everybody uh is part of that bully culture in that dysfunctional group dynamics so what happens then over time is that you have a dysfunctional uh organization with terrible group dynamics and what happens is the bully gains superiority they're gaining power they're able to do whatever they want because they've created a culture where bystanders and targets are scared there's a fear of retaliation there's isolation there's a fear of exclusion and over time the group dynamics and the lack of accountability s solidify into bully culture where aggression and bullying is rewarded and empathy is suppressed making it increasingly challenging to break that cycle and Foster a healthy workplace because when you have a bully culture what happens is you have people in their roles of bullying you have the people in their role of bystanders and targets and over time people change into different roles so you might have of a a Target who over time again when people cycle out of the workplace and new people cycle in somebody starts as a target of workplace bullying then they roll shift into bystandard and again the this is a Target is a disempowering role bystander is a pretty disempowering role and over time you can have a Target roll shift into a bystandard roll shift into a bully because if you stay in Bully culture for long enough you become so disempowering or excuse me disempowered that the only thing that makes you feel better is engaging in the dysfunction of the organizational culture which is bullying and so so that's where if you look at it okay uh bullies often say that they've been victimized and that can very well be true okay that they have started off as a Target but ended up as a bully and that's why they don't see that how their behavior is that of a bully and so what happens when you have bully culture is that bullying becomes sustained it's a self- sustaining cycle unless you have intervention and that's the problem is without intervention bullying goes on and on and on and on and that's why it's very very difficult for us to see really how bullying starts because for many organizations uh and the organizations that I worked in they had bullying happening for decades and so it's very difficult for people to understand how it starts and the other thing I want to say too is that again when when we look at bullying the only thing that's going to stop it is systematic interventions where organizations have interventions that means policies and procedures leaders have interventions that learn how to hold bullies accountable and leaders learn how not to be bullies and by and individuals by standards bullies and targets learn how to change and manage their behavior and to become part of an organizational Consciousness where we understand how we are important in the organization but that our Behavior as colleagues influences one another and that when we come into a workplace as an individual worker we don't get to just be whoever we want as a co-worker we have to be a co-worker who has the ability to be empathetic self-reflect and change our Behavior if it isn't influencing our organizational culture positively thank you so much please like share and comment and if you have any questions you know you can always drop me a comment below or you can email me at

i7a21UvUHA8 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7a21UvUHA8 | Robert Scribbler: The Ocean Suffocates, Bleeding Deadly Hydrogen Sulfide Gas | alright guys it is an absolutely beautiful spring day here in the collapse of global industrial civilization on this gorgeous Saturday afternoon in Garfield Texas that would be April 25th 2020 and uh I am Sam Mitchell this is my little co-pilot Sancho Panza and for a couple more weeks we're going to be here at collapse chronicles doing what we do and I am that is chronicling the collapse of a planet and I'm also holding an open house and this is the third time I have tried to bring today's Chronicle of the collapse the real estate market is still alive and well in Austin Texas I hope this wind isn't going to be too much of an issue on this microphone anyway so for the third time what I'm trying what I've been attempting to do is to read this long long essay from our own buddy Robert scribbler I have not a be able to check in with Robert for a while and I'm gonna put the link on here and you can read this book link si yourself Robert has done his homework on hydrogen sulfide the growing threat of hydrogen sulfide reappearing - you know just to bring the sixth mass extinction to a rapid close how is this nasty chemical you know it's the the suicide stuff it's it's hydrochloric acid and sulfur you know the way you kill yourself it was the boat pal that Union Carbide thing that happened in Bhopal India that killed about 5000 people in about two minutes years ago that's what we're talking about and what Robert goes he has done his homework and this big discussion on all of the evidence that we are heading into another what if they call it a can feel emotion Canfield Ocean where basically the just the perfect storm things happen mainly one of them being the oxygenation of the ocean combined with ocean heating I just did a covered yesterday another article about how the ocean is losing oxygen and how the newest threat to coral reefs is actually that the the oxygen is disappearing out of the ocean and this is as it is heating the ocean is getting hotter and losing oxygen which is the absolute perfect combination for a return to a canfield ocean event where this hydrogen sulfide is going to come bubbling out of the ocean and pretty much kill all of us it is was it the Permian extinction calls they think the evidence points to a hydrogen sulfide explosion that caused that mass extinction and the all the ingredients been anyway I'm gonna put the link to this long essay and you can read it yourself because every time I start to read it somebody else shows up for the open house the name of this essay is awakening the horrors of the ancient hot house hydrogen sulfide in the world's warning oceans and but at the end of it he just does this this little PostScript and was this sweet eulogy to this old friend of his and I'm just gonna let you read all of this information and educate yourself about hydrogen sulfide and let's get to the very bottom and then we're just gonna sit here and read this sweet PostScript okay but let's finish up let's get to the let's read about the last two or three paragraphs of the actual piece okay it is important to note that we observe heightened levels of hydrogen sulfide gas in the world ocean system now as hypoxia and anoxia progress with the human-caused warming of the oceans and as glacial melt interrupts and alters the now strong ocean currents and related mixing it talks a lot about how this stuff in it is mixed and brought up to the surface it is certain it is certain that hydrogen sulphide production in the deep ocean will continue to increase resulting in L and elevating of harm to ocean dwelling animals in ever more numerous instances of hydrogen sulfide gas contact with coastal and surface waters yeppers in the context of increasing ocean hypoxia and stratification we might do well to remember that we are tiny weak beings at the mercy of great natural forces which we can barely conceive or understand forces that we have unwittingly callously and ignorant ly set in to motion and then he adds this as a personal PostScript he's going to tell us about his old friend Rick I just thought this was a nice story and so I'm gonna share it with you if I can get through it without someone else showing up at my open house take it away Robert scribbler tell us a story long ago when I was a ten-year-old child I was fortunate enough to meet an amazingly kind adventurous and inquisitive man the man who I will call Rick to keep safe his identity was a bit of a local paramour in Ocean and Bay research he was constantly in contact with both the ocean and adjacent Chesapeake Bay's were venturing out to explore and to conduct research on marine life in later years he would be the impetus behind animal summer marine science camps hosted by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science but this was later now Rick was helping an elementary school student present on the issue of our then expanding understanding of marine science living so close to the bay in ocean I was intimately in contact with the living boundary of land and sea in the more demanding and less stimulating form that was public education I seldom had the opportunity to indulge my passion for the oceans but at age ten I was given the opportunity to give a broad marine science presentation for my classmates as part of my project I constructed posters and models depicting the current state of world ocean research I graphically Illustrated the various nodes of the bathysphere the light and life filled ones in the more mysterious and far less well understood depths but Rick was the centerpiece of my presentation he was my keynote and he energetically answered all my own and fellow students questions speaking in the kind and intriguing manner that would later draw so many of us into his charismatic orbit don't tell me am I gonna get interrupted a third time nope they went on in later years I would attend Rick summer marine science camps on two different occasions in both cases I observed what appeared to be his increasing concern about both the health of the Chesapeake Bay and the neighboring oceans in later years Rick's attitude once so full of optimism bordered on cynicism hmm imagine that the world he loved so deeply was experiencing death on a scale that horrified him and he harbored a deep sense of betrayal that we were not doing more to stop the senseless slaughter of so many of the living things he saw as both beautiful and wondrous in the mid-2000s Rick committed suicide to me one of the great ocean pioneers of my developmental years had passed away by taking his own life and I couldn't help but wonder if the horrible ways in which the oceans that he's so loved were we're changing was just too much for him if the commercialization and cheapening of all the things he held most dear along with their subsequent damaging and putting at great risk of terrible harm had robbed his life of beauty and purpose rick was if anything a very intelligent and sensitive man he knew what was happening to the bay and ocean on a personal level when the bait was harmed It was as if it hurt Rick - Rick also knew how temperature changes affected the depths for he was on the front line studying it he was hauling up the fish and water samples he was doing the measuring with his own hands was the awakening of terrible Sisulu this that v goes back to earlier in the thing was the hypoxia and I'm sorry I don't have a definition for hypoxia anoxia I'm pretty sure that means disappearing oxygen was the form of hypoxia anoxia and deadly hydrogen sulfide producing bacteria too much for Rick to continue baring mute witness did his pleas to those working in the marine science community fall only on deaf ears was it just too much for this sensitive feeling and intelligent man to bear if Rick taught me anything it was that our lives and the lives of the ocean are deeply connected one cannot remain healthy without the other in contrast to this basic understanding the damage our continued industrial emissions of greenhouse gases is doing to the world ocean system is a horrific travesty and the damage we have already caused have already done to those most sensitive creatures among us have already set in play for future decades and centuries is tremendous the ocean suffocates bleeding deadly hydrogen sulfide gas and yet still continue down this wretched path in pursuit of more terrible things to come yeah that pretty much sums it up Robert scribbler the ocean suffocates bleeding deadly hydrogen sulfide gas and yet we still continue down the wretched path in pursuit of more terrible things to common and you better believe we will find more terrible things to come in our pursuit and once we wake up that Big Kahuna the hydrogen sulfide gas monster looking at the bottom of the ocean it's safe to say the fat lady will have sung anyway I need to wrap two days Barnacle of the collapse and start to wrap up my open house I had five people I still got an hour to go I've had five sets of buyers come through I do have the house and contract guys and I really think I'm gonna be out of here in a few weeks heading to New York but you just can't be too careful get out there and enjoy breathing before the hydrogen sulfide gas monster reawakens bye guys you | Collapse Chronicles | UCLXYur8DuVcARXbFhYs4ecg | 2020-04-25 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 1,694 | 9,237 |

as there is leaving it but cell volume and shape can change when the fluid environments surrounding a cell has a different osmotic pressure than the cell cytosol for example if more water moves into a cell its volume and pressure will increase and the cell may burst if more water moves out of a cell its volume and pressure will decrease and its membrane will shrink a cell's water balance and different solutions relates to the concept of tone isset e tonicity is the measure of a solutions ability to change cell volume by increasing or decreasing the water content in a cell there are three different situations that cells can find themselves in regarding tonicity isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic isotonic is when the cell cytoplasm and its surrounding solution have the same solute concentration hypotonic is when the surrounding solution has a lower solute concentration than the cell cytoplasm hypertonic is when the surrounding solution has a higher solute concentration than the cell cytoplasm it's important to emphasize that these three terms describe the extracellular fluid environment that surrounds a cell such as interstitial fluid tissue fluid or blood plasma let's use red blood cells as models to illustrate tonicity an isotonic solution has a solute concentration equal to the cell cytoplasm the prefix iso means the same a standard physiological saline or salt solution is isotonic to red blood cells it is measured as 0.9% sodium chloride the same salt concentration inside a red blood cell in isotonic solutions water moves by osmosis into and out of the cell at the same rate there is no net movement of water in either direction so as a result the cell experiences no change in volume or shape the concentration of salt is the same on both sides of the membrane remember just like the YouTube model example water is able to move across the selectively permeable membrane of the red blood cell but salt cannot blood plasma that is isotonic to red blood cells creates a healthy physiological environment where the normal biconcave disc shape of the red blood cells is maintained allowing the cells to flow through blood vessels and deliver oxygen to tissues the concept of tonicity is also important from a clinical perspective which is why patients are administered intravenous or IV fluids that are isotonic to blood plasma you may be familiar with IV solutions like isotonic saline having a salt concentration of 0.9% equal to the red blood cell what happens to red blood cells in a hypotonic solution having a lower solute concentration the prefix hypo means under or lower like a hypodermic needle punctures under the skin for this situation let's place the cells in an extremely low concentration solution like distilled water which contains no dissolved salts 0% sodium chloride remember that the cell still maintains its 0.9% salt concentration water will move by osmosis from the area of low solute or high water concentration outside the cell the distilled water to the higher solutes or lower water concentration inside the cell water is also moving out of the cell but the net movement of water will be into the cell as a result the volume of the red blood cell increases as it fills up and swells like a water balloon it loses its biconcave to shape and may ultimately undergo hemolysis where the cell membrane ruptures causing the cell to burst you can remember hypotonic by the rhyme hypo is low and the letter O in hypo resembles the shape of the swollen red blood cell the third and final type of tonicity hypertonic occurs when the surrounding solution has a higher solute concentration than the cell cytoplasm the prefix hyper means over or higher in our example let's say the blood plasma has a 2% sodium chloride concentration which is higher than the point nine percent salt concentration inside the red blood cell water will now move by osmosis from the area of low solute or high water concentration inside the cell to the higher solutes or lower water concentration outside the cell water is also moving into the cell but the net movement of water will be out of the cell as a result the volume of the red blood cell decreases and the cell begins to shrink and shrivel like a raisin in a process called cremation the membrane surface area decreases which reduces its hemoglobin and the amount of oxygen it can transport as the membrane contracts the cell takes on an irregular jagged shape causing it to get snagged in capillaries and valves creating blood flow problems and reduced oxygen delivery this is the danger of what can happen to a person lost at sea who úp dehydrated and forced to drink saltwater a hypertonic solution relative to blood plasma dehydration occurs faster when blood plasma becomes increasingly hypertonic causing cells to lose more water resulting in more frequent urination and red blood cell carnation | Rob Swatski | UCpN34ay5af_mpcoMXHSe_Eg | 2018-02-26 | Creative Commons

4pwvvWhco8Q | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pwvvWhco8Q | Depression VS Laziness - What's The Difference? | hey psyched to goers welcome back have you ever wondered what the difference is between depression and laziness depression and laziness have a lot in common both can result in a lack of productivity and a general inability to function through life's challenges a person who is feeling down after a hard day at work may come home wanting nothing more than to lay in their bed all day but does feeling lethargic make you lazy or is it more than that here are the differences you should know between laziness and depression number one length of time do you feel an extreme sense of sadness and lethargy throughout the day or does it only happen every so often depression is labeled as a persistent feeling of being sad hopeless and empty over a long period of time when you're depressed it feels like nothing can ever make you feel happy no matter what you try you can't find it within yourself to do anything whether it's good for you or not laziness is a bit different unlike depression it isn't a psychological disorder it's a momentary state filling lethargy from time to time is common for everyone that's just the body recovering from stress or lack of sleep but usually after a good night's rest or a moment of relaxation your body will feel refreshed again and can function on a day-to-day basis number two sense of control do you feel like a new reward can cause a shift in your motivation to accomplish a task for people with depression working towards a goal or something that brings them happiness is too much they struggle to find the energy within themselves to take action and they often think they don't deserve anything better that everything is hopeless and there's no point in doing things as they feel they have no control over their actions for lazy people they usually lack motivation to do the things that are expected of them the reasons for this are plenty perhaps they don't like their boss aren't fulfilled at work or have too many things to do but once a lazy person is placed in the right environment they'll feel much more motivated to be productive for people with depression their mental faculties make them feel largely indifferent towards most things making it harder for them to get out of the rut usually professional intervention is necessary number three chemical imbalance the brains of people with depression are noticeably more different than lazy people based on fmri scans in a study published in the journal of neuroscience the hippocampus of participants who had a history of depression reported 9 to 13 smaller size compared to those without depression this means fewer serotonin receptors or the chemical that regulates mood this can also be linked with stress a major factor of depression which can slow down the production of new neurons in the hippocampus people who feel lazy however don't have as much of these major brain alterations as depressed people while there could be overlaps and symptoms depression is a serious psychological disorder where parts of the brain like the amygdala thalamus and hippocampus are wired differently and contribute to one's depressive mind state number four excessive worry do you catch yourself having self-defeating thoughts and constant ruminations rumination the persistent focus on negative feelings is a common symptom of depression ruminating can also force people to isolate themselves which can worsen one's depressive mood people who ruminate tend to be perfectionists and overvalue their relationships with others even if it's not an unhealthy one people who are lazy usually don't get caught up by ruminations or critical thoughts and aren't worried about things that happened in the past but may be concerned about the consequences of their future through their lack of action and number five depression affects your physical health depression is known to not just affect your state of mind but also your physical health and well-being for instance depressed people are more likely to have trouble concentrating and memory loss due to the rewiring in their brains especially older adults insomnia constricted blood vessels fatigue and weakened immune systems are all some of the more common symptoms of depression which can affect your overall health lazy people are less likely to be affected by physical health issues unlike people with depression they may sometimes feel fatigued due to not sleeping enough or making poor diet choices but laziness doesn't have a major impact on the body like depression does so can you relate to any of the signs and symptoms mentioned if so let us know in the comments we hope you've learned the difference between depression and laziness and if you like this video share it with someone who you think might benefit as always the references and studies used are listed in the description below thanks so much for watching take care and we'll see you next time | Psych2Go | UCkJEpR7JmS36tajD34Gp4VA | 2022-05-22 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 831 | 4,894 |
GRt_QAqL5cI | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRt_QAqL5cI | Winscombe to Cheddar Hike, Part IX,'Piney Sleights Fields to Cheddar Gorge' | i'm just going to do a little tiny video down here because i don't often do this but i don't understand look at all the liking on here that looks like a healthy healthy atmosphere look at the size of this one over here could be plural caucus yeah there are times when i walk down here but not very often because normal trying to get back but i do like to do it sometimes do you like to do it it's a way of getting in as well way of getting in there if you wanted to there's another fence so another fence here but it's definite channel in there going along there dear would you sir no sheep out today no sheep in longfelt [Applause] it's a lovely afternoon you know i thought it was going to be windy so i've did my coat out but i think i'll undo it again something follows this track though doesn't it and i fought on a regular pattern somebody came in not after me so basically i thought i heard an owl earlier [Applause] yeah the barbed wire just appears here look have a whole new world in there wouldn't that to explore [Applause] i'm just doing this little video because not often video down here i think the last time i came down here i was worried about autumn coming very early in august one year i came down to look more closely at the trees see look somebody said a little barbecue there aren't they there's waste down there i'm just gonna put my stick away a minute just put that there and put my stick away put my stick away get my juice out you see the juices in there [Applause] which is [Applause] orange i've got a fruitcake i've got [Applause] away put the stick away which fits nicely in there look and i can walk along let that stick safe because i lost a stick don't forget a couple months ago i lost a stick check the time compost three i think we could possibly get the hot plus five 20 plus five bus i think so if not we gotta kill three hours and i don't i don't wanna rush we're now under the rule of time so and i have to what i've done is um a bit of exploring i needn't have done this but there was somebody close to my house so it's a convenient diversion [Applause] there's a woman on her own walking rare thing no sheep right folks on what i'm going to do is turn off there just take a picture of the scene and have some food right i've got a feeling the wind might be in favor with the camera at the moment could be some sideways but it's not hitting me right in the face just gone through piney sites farm back there somebody coming now somebody else kind of purple coat on i'll let them go by i don't want to walk with anyone i just noticed somebody coming where did they come from must have come at the farmhouse anyway this could be the last video now could be [Applause] ah let's take very divert there's some goats yeah there's a style at the top go over the hill yeah you'll see a gate and then you have to look for signposts just keep following the main track you will get there i'm going that way but not yet people come home help us out i sometimes wonder if i'm being followed you know about two strange women not long ago we had two strange blokes now what i'm gonna do i'm gonna let her go ahead because i really don't wanna walk with anyone i'm very selfish anyways loads of goats over there not a sign of a cow which is very good where did she come from where did these people come from and let her know i'm walking parallel with her but i'm letting her get away because she's quite fast walker i wonder what she's doing she looks like she might be carrying a gun in her handbag or something [Applause] right i'm going to turn off take some pictures it's beautiful don't it panoramic views everyone all around mend mendip hills i walked along the top earlier after coming out of the forest of roberto warren after coming from winskum up the west mendip way going through longwood coming up through longfield this is piney slights fields lots of goats this is always the case and then eventually there will be cows i rarely see cows in this field though over there you've got black rock in the wood and the quarry that i walk sometimes and cheddar gorge is right in front of us that skyline line there that is cheddar gorge i tend to avoid it going down most of the time actually i find it quite i've slipped a few times um i've got alternative ways now when i come back but i do go up it usually because i always find going up things are slightly easier than going down them [Applause] what a strange a woman who comes out with an absolute nowhere she's kind of nowhere what's she doing out there with a handbag walking like she's somebody from the russian spy team [Applause] and i've given her she's walking fast as well i'm giving her a very wide breath sometimes it's nice to walk in the middle of nowhere though i'm not in the middle of the field which i don't normally do but i'm doing it today all right look at it gorgeous overnight you | semw52 | UCAUGd2DPS2BrzDyJrhS65Og | 2022-03-22 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata |

WqOBzcz7Poo | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqOBzcz7Poo | The Syndicate - Marshy vs Tom - 29 vs 27.5 | [Music] Jason should I do it do it like formally noise good afternoon ladies and gentlemen mr. Jason my boys and girls Tom okay I notice you're the blank that you're working on whose bike sir Lucas sure so you're Lucas Shores mechanic I am I noticed his bike has a little wheel on the back and a big wheel on the front hmm can you explain to me why is done that because I don't understand well he tried it because but if we have the option to try it we might as well try it mm-hm and then if you don't try it you don't know so that's why he tried it and then when he tried it he quite liked it so that's why he's still run it and then do you think why do you think he liked it does what how does it change the bike he said it feels easier to ride and he feels more comfortable on it and if your ID can have the best set of bike in the world but if the rider isn't comfortable and they won't go totally quickly so he feels more comfortable riding with a smaller back wheel yeah he says that it's a lot easier to turn mm-hmm which kind of makes sense I guess he says it if he the 29er is great if you're on like if you ride your perfect line and don't mess up then the 29 is great because it you know carries around but if you are around the turn and the roots moved or there's a rocket rock in a different place then the smaller back wheel makes it easier to adjust mid mid run or mid turn adapt then I agree doesn't want to try it I just trying to think of why he wouldn't want to try it that's like he's he's a little bit taller I noticed a lot last year with the guys riding a twenty nine bit wheel they had skid marks on his shorts a lot and I wonder if the shorter rider would actually benefit more from the mullet bike that's what I always saw that and in lorises case I think that's what's going on yeah cuz it gives you a bit more clearance there doesn't know but Lucas said he never particularly buzzed his bomb anyway whoa Lucas how tall Lucas it's six foot yeah yeah we tried an extra large frame so he's not small been in Greg's life possibly in between Loras and Gregory Leonie Greg's like six three none of why we're talking in feet inches but it's like yeah at 180 yeah one eight one eight five one eight five there so yeah so the Greg's like 18 millimeters taller potentially than said you know maybe they extract long legs as well and ears or legs so you're having that having the longer legs might just give you a bit more clearance over the back wheel obviously it's lighter the mullet Beck reals lighter isn't it so you get bit of rotational hmm speed for it but you know is it like a list of a flywheel so that's I think that's it it doesn't if you brake in a turning that's not going to stand you up you're not going to have there what's the word for mass let's rotate inertia and there's generally different isn't it yeah so it kind of kind of makes sense doesn't it I mean it I just don't feel great Greg doesn't want to try it so two weeks ago we were on the twenty nine and four was well and happy what if the options there we'd be deaf not to try hmm smaller back wheel yeah yeah for sure and they actually said when we were discussing trying it he said well you know my riding style suits 29 I don't think it'd work but you know got a tick every box and try it in nature I didn't like to job I think people maybe have prejudiced opinions on it but then the proofs to try it really well if you don't like it you just stick to what you've got just put it on and see if he notices yeah they think you've got a wheel I haven't built a wheel up for it now I've got spare wheel and you okay I don't think it's like far to be faster in a straight line you know when the the parts of the track that you're going fastest like for the endless a for example the top section of the track with the bigger wheels you will go faster with bigger with a bigger back wheel I think and then the fastest part of the track is where you make up the most time because you're traveling the most distance you know when you're doing like 40 K's an hour you don't 11 meters a second but if you're doing like 40 43 kaizen hour so you get that little bit of extra speed you're gonna do a few more meters every second so you're gonna make up that you make up the most time on the fastest part of the tracks not on the corners I think so it's hard to tell without doing without going to work up and doing a doing during the full run I think also late last year having a smaller back wheel on the bike where we had the the forks the the offset on the forks is quite long so having a smaller back wheel on the bike you could have got quite an advantage but now with the new Fox for carrying the offset back you're not going to get well it's just it's it's just going to be a faster fork I think the buy it's gonna be faster so yeah it's hard to tell it's hard to tell wasn't it really mmm-hmm I mean do you do your roll down a road and measure what the top speed get a straight line rolling down a road that full toyou know would and they'd be faster who but we don't roll down roads doing no we actually did time we timed the top half of the track which was their kind of bit where the 29er would we thought would be way better and of a three run average it was within 0.4 of a seconds which is ten places in some races but that's in you know in one day on that on that bike you know 29er did multiple runs on the sort of normal setup and then went back with the twenty seven five on a different day admittedly but it's a track that doesn't change yeah and the times are really close but I don't think that's enough really to say it's faster alright slower you know when we first went to the twenty nine and we got went to San Romulo and we had Lara's riding the bike and we he was on 27 five he did two runs on 27 five and then swap to 29 and we hit the timing system out and he got back after the first run on the twenty nine I mean no that's horrible it's uncomfortable I can't ride it and then it's just like okay cool let's have a look at the time and he was four seconds quicker mmm then he goes no I don't don't believe it there's a problem with the timing because the bike just didn't feel nice I couldn't throw it around and he went back to his 20 75 and he was four seconds slower and then he went back to 29 in he was four seconds quicker so it's just now the feeling of a comfort on the bike necessarily late to speed does it mmm no exactly mr. lair |

-b7N51UQeUQ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b7N51UQeUQ | 230526 Determined on Goodwill \ \ Thanissaro Bhikkhu \ \ Short Dhamma Talk | always start the day with thoughts at Goodwill if you remember that Goodwill is a determination because it's easy to feel Goodwill for some people and not so easy to feel it support others but to become a universal attitude a Brahma attitude we have to learn how to have good will for everybody for ourselves for all the people around us the people we like the people we don't like and it's with any nomination there are four things you have to think about one you have to apply your discernment as to why it's good to have good will for everybody even when it's hard realizing that if you have good will for everyone you can trust yourself or run them in terms of your own behavior and the discernment also has to say that Goodwill is something you do have to produce it's not an innate quality of the Mind because it's just as easy when you're provoked by someone who's been misbehaving so you have to think about different kinds of fabrication the way you breathe the way you talk to yourself the images and perceptions you hold in mind what a good way to talk to yourself is remind yourself that you're not just wishing that people be happy just as they are if they're behaving in unskillful ways bless them discernment is that their happiness has to come from their own actions so you're hoping that they would understand the causes for it to happen is realize where their behavior is not up to standard and be willing to change able to change so that's the first thing you have to think about the second thing is you have to be true to this it's not just a matter of sitting here and thinking thoughts a good will and then going out and Remy your car into somebody you have to have good will for everybody all the time stay true to that determination there will be things you have to give up your desire to get back at somebody you desire to see somebody who's been misbehaving get what you think are there just desserts you have to abandon those attitudes and you have to keep the Mind calm realizing that even though you may have good will for everybody not everybody is going to do the causes of Happiness create the causes for happiness a lot of people out there you simply cannot control so you have to develop equanimity keep the Mind calm realizing there's some things that you just can't have an impact on so you can focus your attention on the areas where you can when your Goodwill is a determination with these four attributes okay then it's going to be solid something that's secure and it's not going to be a cause for unhappiness because there's just a good will with no equanimity you can make it pretty miserable looking at the way the world is seeing how wrong-headed so many people are let's realize okay you're responsible for your actions you're not responsible for what other people do and that actually takes a lot of burdens off of you but also means you have to focus here not so much on straightening out other people you have to straighten out yourself when you do that that's how you show Goodwill for yourself and for all the people around you | Short Dhamma Talks by Thanissaro Bhikkhu | UCQRkIum1cnPNI5QZ0XtIMWw | 2023-06-03 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 572 | 3,077 |

the finest architecture of the Italian Renaissance in the latter half of the 20th century the war in Afghanistan and civil war in Tajikistan brought dari and Tajik speaking refugees into Bukhara and Samarkand after integrating themselves into the local Tajik population these cities faced a movement for annexation into Tajikistan with which the cities have no common border topic historic monuments in Bukhara topic complex ho I Kalyan complex the title PO I Kalyan also poi Kalyan version paid clan meaning de grand Foundation belongs to the architectural complex located at the base of the great minaret Kalyan Kelly on minaret more properly Vanara I Kalyan Persian Taj ik for the grand minaret also known as the Tower of death as according to legend it is the site where criminals were executed by being thrown off the top for centuries the minaret is most famed part of the ensemble and dominates over historical center of the city the role of the minaret is largely for traditional and decorative purposes its dimension exceeds the bounds of the main function of the minaret which is to provide a vantage point from which the muesum can call out people to prayer for this purpose it was enough to ascend to a roof of mosque this practice was common in initial years of Islam the word minaret derives from the Arabic word menorah lighthouse or more literally a place where something burned the minarets of the region were possible adaptations of fire towers or lighthouses of previous Zoroastrian eras the architect whose name was simply Baco designed the minaret in the form of a circular pillar brick tower narrowing upwards the diameter of the base as 9 metres 30 feet while at the top it is 6 metres 20 feet the tower is forty five point six meters 150 feet high and can be seen from vast distances over the flat plains of Central Asia there is a brick spiral staircase that twists up inside around the pillar leading to the landing in sixteen arched rotunda and skylight upon which is based a magnificently designed stalactite cornice or Shareef kaylynn mosque Masjid I Kalyan arguably completed in 1514 is equal to the bibi khanym mosque in Samarkand in size the mosque is able to accommodate 12,000 people although kalyan mosque and bibi khanym mosque of Samarkand are of the same type of building they are different in terms of art of building 288 monumental pylons serve as a support for the multi domed roofing of the galleries encircling the courtyard of Kalyan mosque the longitudinal axis of the courtyard ends up with a portal to the main chamber max hora with a cruciform hall topped with a massive blue cupola on a mosaic drum the edifice keeps many architectural curiosities for example a hole in one of domes through this hole one can see foundation of kalyan minaret then moving back step-by-step one can count all belts of brickwork of the minaret to the rotunda mir-i-arab madrasa 1535 to 1536 the construction of mir-i-arab madrasah miri arab madrasah is ascribed to sheikh abdullah yamani of yemen called mir-i-arab the spiritual mentor of ubaidullah khan and his son abdul aziz khan ubaidullah khan waged permanent successful war with iran at least three times his troops seized her at each of such plundering raids on Iran was accompanied by capture of great many captives they say that ubaidullah khan had invested money gained from redemption of more than three thousand Persian captives into construction of mir-i-arab madrasah ubaidullah khan was very religious he had been nurtured in high respect for Islam in the spirit of Sufism his father named him in honor of prominent sheikh of the 15th century ubaidullah a Lara 1404 214 90 by origin from Tashkent region by the 30s of the 16th century the time when sovereigns erected splendid mausoleums for themselves and for their relatives was over cons of Schaben a dynasty were standard bearers of quran traditions the significance of religion was so great that even such famed Khan as ubaidullah was conveyed to earth close by his mentor in his madrasah in the middle of the vault karana in mir-i-arab madrasah is situated the wooden tomb of ubaidullah khan at his head is wrapped in the moulds his mentor mir-i-arab muhammad Kasim Medeiros a senior teacher of the madrasah died in 10:47 hydra is also interred nearby here the portal of Miri Arab madrasah is situated on one axis with the portal of the kalyan mosque however because of some lowering of the square to the east it was necessary to raise a little an edifice of the madrasah on a platform lab I house the by house or lab' house Persian pound who'd meaning by the pond ensemble 1568 to 1622 is the name of the area surrounding one of the few remaining house or pond in the city of bukhara several such ponds existed in Bukhara prior to Soviet rule the ponds acted as the city's principal source of water but were also notorious for spreading disease and thus were mostly filled in during the 1920s and 1930s by the Soviets the lab I house survived owing to its role as the centerpiece of an architectural ensemble dating back to the 16th to 17th centuries the lab I house ensemble consists of the 16th century ku Cal - madrasah the largest in the city along the north side of the pond on the eastern and western sides of the pond are a 17th century lodging house for itinerant Sufis and a 17th century

located near the samani mausoleum its name is said to reflect a legend that states the profit job hub in the quran visited this place and brought forth a spring of water by the blow of his staff on the ground the water of this well is said to be exceptionally pure and is regarded for its supposed healing qualities the current edifice at the site was constructed during the reign of timur and features a Quaresma style conical dome that is otherwise uncommon in the region ismail samani mausoleum the ismail samani mausoleum 9th 10th centuries is one of the most highly esteemed work of Central Asian architecture it was built in the 9th century between 892 and 943 as the resting place of ismail samani the founder of the Somani dynasty which was the last native persian dynasty to rule the region in the 9th to 10th centuries after the salmonids established virtual independence from the abbasid caliphate in baghdad the site is unique for its architectural style which combines both Zoroastrian and Islamic motifs the building's facade has covered an intricately decorated brickwork which features circular patterns reminiscent of the Sun a common image in Zoroastrian art from the region at that time which is reminiscent of the Zoroastrian God Ahura Mazda who is typically represented by fire and light the building's shape is cuboid and reminiscent of the Kaaba in Makka while the domed roof is a typical feature of mosque architecture the syncretic style of the shrine is reflective of the 9th to 10th centuries a time when the region still had large populations of zoroastrians who had begun to convert to Islam around that time the shrine is also regarded as one of the oldest monuments in the bukhara region at the time of genghis khan's invasion the shrine was said to have already been buried in mud from flooding thus when the Mongol hordes reached bukhara the shrine was spared from their destruction the mausoleum of Pakistan's founding father Muhammad Ali Jinnah known as the mazar-e Quaid in Karachi was modeled after the shrine Topic mosque Boal OHA o uz Mosca built in 1712 on the opposite side of the citadel of our kin registan district bowl OHA o uz mosque is inscribed in the unesco world heritage site list along with the other parts of the historic city it served as a friday mosque during the time when the Emir of Bukhara was being subjugated under the Bolshevik Russian rule in 1920 s Charminar char minor alternatively spelled chor minor and also alternatively known as the madrasah of Khalif Nia's kul is a building tucked away in a Lane northeast of the Lea B House complex the structure was built by Khalif Nia's kul a wealthy Bou Caron of Turkmen origin in the 19th century under the rule of the Jana dynasty the four towered structure is sometimes mistaken for a gate to the Madras that once existed behind the structure however the Charminar is actually a complex of buildings with two functions ritual and shelter the main edifice is a mosque in spite of its unusual outward shape the building has a typical interior for a central asian mosque owing to the building's cupola the room has good acoustic properties and therefore takes on special significance of dhikr henna a place for ritualized dhikr ceremonies of sufi the liturgy of which often include recitation singing and instrumental music on either side of the central edifice are located dwelling rooms some of which have collapsed leaving only their foundations visible consequently for full functioning of madrasah only of class room and some utility rooms is lacking however it was common practice that so-called madrasahs had no lecture rooms or even if they had no lectures had been given in them these madrasahs were employed as student hospices each of the four towers has different decorational motifs some say that elements of decoration reflect the for religions known to Central Asians one can find elements reminiscent of a cross a Christian fish motif and a Buddhist praying wheel in addition to Zoroastrian and Islamic motifs in 1995 due to an underground brook one of the four towers collapsed an emergency assistance was applied for and granted by UNESCO under the World Heritage Fund although the collapse resulted in dis stabilized the entire structure the authorities were anxious to keep awareness of the disaster to a minimum without explanation the building disappeared from the list of sites and after hurried reconstruction of the tower using non-traditional building material such as poor quality cement and steel Charminar returned as one of the most popular sites of the city yet the event has been kept secret ever since on the Esplanade to the right from Charminar as a pool likely of the same age as the rest of the building complex Charminar is now surrounded mainly by small houses and shops along its perimeter Magic Eye atari mosque the former mango kia torre mosque was constructed in the 9th century on the remains of what may have been an older zoroastrian temple the mosque was destroyed and rebuilt more than once and the oldest part now remaining as the South facade which dates from the 12th century making it one of the oldest surviving structures in Bukhara and one of few which survived the onslaught of Genghis Khan lower than the surrounding ground level the mosque was excavated in 1935 it no longer functions as a mosque but rather houses a carpet museum Mosque of Mir Syed Ali Hamid on and Bukhara there is a mosque which is said to be that of mir syed ali hamid annie the patron saint of Kashmiri muslims in the valley of Kashmir topic transportation bukhara International Airport has regularly scheduled flights to cities in Uzbekistan and Russia the m37 highway connects the city to most of the major cities in Turkmenistan including ashgabat the city is also served by railroad links with the rest of whose Becca Stan and as a hub for roadways leading to all major cities in Uzbekistan and beyond topic demographics according to the official statistics the city's population has 82% use Beck's 6% Russians 4% Taj X 3% Tatars 1% Koreans 1% Turkmens 1% Ukrainians 2% of other ethnicities however official use Beck numbers have for long been criticized and refuted by various observers in Western sources and it is widely assumed that the population of the city consists mainly of Tajik speaking Tajik with ethnic Uzbeks forming a growing minority exact figures are difficult to evaluate since many people in news Beca stand either identify as boos back even though they speak Taj ik is their first language or because they are registered as Beck's by the central government despite their Tajik language and identity according to Soviet estimates in the early 20th century

q3s9WyDqbo8 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3s9WyDqbo8 | Electrolysis | Wikipedia audio article | in chemistry and manufacturing electrolysis is a technique that uses a direct electric current dc to drive an otherwise non-spontaneous chemical reaction electrolysis is commercially important as a stage in the separation of elements from naturally occurring sources such as ores using an electrolytic cell the voltage that is needed for electrolysis to occur is called the decomposition potential history the word electrolysis was introduced by michael faraday in the 19th century on the suggestion of the rev william well using the greek words electron electron amber which since the 17th century was associated with electric phenomena and lysis lysis meaning dissolution nevertheless electrolysis as a tool to study chemical reactions and obtain pure elements precedes the coinage of the term and formal description by faraday 1785 martinus van marum's electrostatic generator was used to reduce tin zinc and antimony from their salts using electrolysis 1800 william nicholson and anthony carlyle view also johann ritter decomposed water into hydrogen and oxygen 1808 potassium 1807 sodium 1807 barium calcium and magnesium were discovered by sir humphrey davy using electrolysis 1821 lithium was discovered by the english chemist william thomas brand who obtained it by electrolysis of lithium oxide 1833 michael faraday develops his two laws of electrolysis and provides a mathematical explanation of his laws 1875 paul emile le cook de boisbodren discovered gallium using electrolysis 1886 fluorine was discovered by henri mauson using electrolysis 1886 hall arrow process developed for making aluminium 1890 kastner kelner process developed for making sodium hydroxide topic overview electrolysis is the passing of a direct electric current through an ionic substance that is either molten or dissolved in a suitable solvent producing chemical reactions at the electrodes and a separation of the materials the main components required to achieve electrolysis are an electrolyte a substance frequently an ion conducting polymer that contains free ions which carry electric current in the electrolyte if the ions are not mobile as in most solid salts then electrolysis cannot occur a direct current dc electrical supply provides the energy necessary to create or discharge the ions in the electrolyte electric current is carried by electrons in the external circuit two electrodes electrical conductors that provide the physical interface between the electrolyte and the electrical circuit that provides the energy electrodes of metal graphite and semiconductor material are widely used choice of suitable electrode depends on chemical reactivity between the electrode and electrolyte and manufacturing cost topic process of electrolysis the key process of electrolysis is the interchange of atoms and ions by the removal or addition of electrons from the external circuit the desired products of electrolysis are often in a different physical state from the electrolyte and can be removed by some physical processes for example in the electrolysis of brine to produce hydrogen and chlorine the products are gaseous these gaseous products bubble from the electrolyte and are collected two sodium chloride plus 2-h-2o2-naoh plus-h-2 plus cl2a liquid containing electrolyte is produced by solvation or reaction of an ionic compound with a solvent such as water to produce mobile ions an ionic compound is melted by heating an electrical potential as applied across a pair of electrodes immersed in the electrolyte each electrode attracts ions that are of the opposite charge positively charged ions cations move towards the electron providing negative cathode negatively charged ions and ions move towards the electron extracting positive anode in this process electrons are either absorbed or released neutral atoms gain or lose electrons and become charged ions that then pass into the electrolyte the formation of uncharged atoms from ions is called discharging when an ion gains or loses enough electrons to become uncharged neutral atoms the newly formed atoms separate from the electrolyte positive metal ions like cu plus plus deposit onto the cathode in a layer the terms for this are electroplating electrowinning and electrorefining when an ion gains or loses electrons without becoming neutral its electronic charge is altered in the process in chemistry the loss of electrons is called oxidation while electron gain is called reduction oxidation and reduction at the electrodes oxidation of ions or neutral molecules occurs at the anode for example it is possible to oxidize ferrous ions to ferric ions at the anode phase ii plus aq phase 3 plus aq plus e minus reduction of ions or neutral molecules occurs at the cathode it is possible to reduce ferrocyanide ions to ferrocyanide ions at the cathode iron 3 cyanide minus 6 plus e minus iron 4 cyanide -6 neutral molecules can also react at either of the electrodes for example p benzoquinone can be reduced to hydroquinone at the cathode plus 2e minus 2h plus in the last example h plus ions hydrogen ions also take part in the reaction and are provided by an acid in the solution or by the solvent itself water methanol etc electrolysis reactions involving h plus ions are fairly common in acidic solutions in aqueous alkaline solutions reactions involving o minus hydroxide ions are common sometimes the solvents themselves usually water are oxidized or reduced at the electrodes it is even possible to have electrolysis involving gases such as when using a gas diffusion electrode topic energy changes during electrolysis the amount of electrical energy that must be added equals the change in gibbs free energy of the reaction plus the losses in the system the losses can in theory be arbitrarily close to zero so the maximum thermodynamic efficiency equals the enthalpy change divided by the free energy change of the reaction in most cases the electric input is larger than the enthalpy change of the reaction so some energy is released in the form of heat in some cases for instance in the electrolysis of steam into hydrogen and oxygen at high temperature the opposite is true and heat energy is absorbed this heat is absorbed from the surroundings and the heating value of the produced hydrogen is higher than the electric input related techniques the following techniques are related to electrolysis electrochemical cells including the hydrogen fuel cell use differences in standard electrode potential to generate an electrical potential that provides useful power though related via the interaction of ions and electrolysis and the operation of electrochemical cells are quite distinct however a chemical cell should not be seen as performing electrolysis in reverse topic faraday's laws of electrolysis first law of electrolysis in 1832 michael faraday reported that the quantity of elements separated by passing an electric current through a molten or dissolved salt is proportional to the quantity of electric charge passed through the circuit this became the basis of the first law of electrolysis the mass of the substance m deposited or liberated at any electrode is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity or charge q passed in this equation k is equal to the electromechanical constant m equals k q displaystyle m equals k c d o t q or m equals e q displaystyle m equals e cdot-q where e is known as electrochemical equivalent of the metal deposited or of the gas liberated at the electrode second law of electrolysis faraday discovered that when the same amount of current is passed through different electrolytes elements connected in series the mass of substance liberated deposited at the electrodes is directly proportional to their equivalent weight topic industrial uses electrometallergy is the process of reduction of metals from metallic compounds to obtain the pure form of metal using electrolysis aluminium lithium sodium potassium magnesium calcium and in some cases copper are produced in this way production of chlorine and sodium hydroxide production of sodium chlorate and potassium chlorate production of perfluorinated organic compounds such as trifluoroacetic acid by the process of electrofluorination production of electrolytic copper is a cathode from refined copper of lower purity as an anode electrolysis has many other uses production of oxygen for spacecraft and nuclear submarines production of hydrogen for fuel using a cheap source of electrical energy electrolysis is also used in the cleaning and preservation of old artifacts because the process separates the non-metallic particles from the metallic ones it is very useful for cleaning a wide variety of metallic objects from old coins to even larger objects including rusted cast iron cylinder blocks and heads when rebuilding automobile engines rust removal from small iron or steel objects by electrolysis can be done in a home workshop using simple materials such as a plastic bucket tap water lengths of rebar washing soda baling wire and a battery charger manufacturing processes in manufacturing electrolysis can be used for electroplating where a thin film of metal is deposited over a substrate material electroplating is used in many industries for either functional or decorative purposes as in vehicle bodies and nickel coins electrochemical machining ecm where an electrolytic cathode is used as a shaped tool for removing material by enotic oxidation from a workpiece ecm is often used as technique for deburring or for etching metal surfaces like tools or knives with a permanent mark or logo topic competing half-reactions in solution electrolysis using a cell containing inert platinum electrodes electrolysis of aqueous solutions of some salts leads to reduction of the cations e.g metal deposition with e.g zinc salts and oxidation of the anions eg evolution of bromine with bromides however with salts of some metals eg sodium hydrogen is evolved at the cathode and for salts containing some anions eg sulfate so42 minus oxygen is evolved at the anode in both cases this is due to water being reduced to form hydrogen or oxidized to form oxygen in principle the voltage required to electrolyze a salt solution can be derived from the standard electrode potential for the reactions at the anode and cathode the standard electrode potential is directly related to the gibbs free energy delta g for the reactions at each electrode and refers to an electrode with no current flowing an extract from the table of standard electrode potentials is shown below in terms of electrolysis this table should be interpreted as follows oxidized species often a cation with a more negative cell potential are more difficult to reduce than oxidized species with a more positive cell potential for example it is more difficult to reduce a sodium ion to a sodium metal than it is to reduce a zinc ion to a zinc metal reduced species often an anion with a more positive cell potential are more difficult to oxidize than reduced species with a more negative cell potential for example it is more difficult to oxidize sulfate anions than it is to oxidize bromide and ions using the nernst equation the electrode potential can be calculated for a specific concentration of ions temperature and the number of electrons involved for pure water ph 7 the electrode potential for the reduction producing hydrogen is -0 0.41 volts the electrode potential for the oxidation producing oxygen is plus 0.82 v comparable figures calculated in a similar way for 1m zinc bromide zinc bromide r minus 0.76 volts for the reduction to zn metal and plus 1.10 volts for the oxidation-producing bromine the conclusion from these figures is that hydrogen should be produced at the cathode and oxygen at the anode from the electrolysis of water which is at variance with the experimental observation that zinc metal is deposited and bromine is produced the explanation is that these calculated potentials only indicate the thermodynamically preferred reaction in practice many other factors have to be taken into account such as the kinetics of some of the reaction steps involved these factors together mean that a higher potential is required for the reduction and oxidation of water than predicted and these are termed over potentials experimentally it is known that overpotentials depend on the design of the cell and the nature of the electrodes for the electrolysis of a neutral ph 7 sodium chloride solution the reduction of sodium ion is thermodynamically very difficult and water is reduced evolving hydrogen leaving hydroxide ions in solution at the anode the oxidation of chlorine is observed rather than the oxidation of water since the overpotential for the oxidation of chloride to chlorine is lower than the overpotential for the oxidation of water to oxygen the hydroxide ions and dissolved chlorine gas react further to form hypochlorous acid the aqueous solutions resulting from this process is called electrolyzed water and is used as a disinfectant and cleaning agent topic research trends electrolysis of carbon dioxide the electrochemical reduction or electrocatalytic conversion of co2 can produce value-added chemicals such methane ethylene ethane etc the electrolysis of carbon dioxide gives formate or carbon monoxide but sometimes more elaborate organic compounds such as ethylene this technology is under research as a carbon-neutral route to organic compounds topic electrolysis of acidified water electrolysis of water produces hydrogen 2h2ol2h2 g o2 g e0 equals plus 1.229 vthe energy efficiency of water electrolysis varies widely the efficiency of an electrolyzer is a measure of the enthalpy contained in the hydrogen to undergo combustion with oxygen or some other later reaction compared with the input electrical energy heat enthalpy values for hydrogen are well published in science and engineering texts as 144 mega joules per kilogram note that fuel cells not electrolyzers cannot use this full amount of heat enthalpy which has led to some confusion when calculating efficiency values for both types of technology in the reaction some energy is lost as heat some reports quote efficiencies between 50 and 70 for alkaline electrolyzers however much higher practical efficiencies are available with the use of pem polymer electrolyte membrane electrolysis and catalytic technology such as 95 efficiency nrel estimated that one kilogram of hydrogen roughly equivalent to 3 kilograms or 4l a petroleum in energy terms could be produced by wind-powered electrolysis for between 5.55 cents in the near-term and 2.27 cents in the long term about 4 of hydrogen gas produced worldwide is generated by electrolysis and normally used on-site hydrogen is used for the creation of ammonia for fertilizer via the haber process and converting heavy petroleum sources to lighter fractions via hydrocracking equals carbon hydrocarbon-assisted water electrolysis cawe equals recently to reduce the energy input the utilization of carbon coal alcohols hydrocarbon solution and organic solution glycerol formic acid ethylene glycol etc with co-electrolysis of water has been proposed as a viable option the carbon hydrocarbon-assisted water electrolysis so-called cawe process for hydrogen generation would perform this operation in a single electrochemical reactor this system energy balance can be required only around 40 electric input was 60 percent coming from the chemical energy of carbon or hydrocarbon this process utilizes solid colt carbon particles or powder as fuels dispersed in acid alkaline electrolyte in the form of slurry and the carbon-contained source co-assist in the electrolysis process as following theoretical overall reactions carbon coal slurry c 2h2o to co2 2h2e 0.21 volts reversible voltage e 0 46 volts thermo neutral voltage or carbon coal slurry c h2o to co h2e topic 0.52 volts reversible voltage e 0.91 volts thermo-neutral voltage thus this cawe approach is that the actual cell overpotential can be significantly reduced to below 1 volt as compared to 1.5 volts for conventional water electrolysis topic electrocrystallization a specialized application of electrolysis involves the growth of conductive crystals on one of the electrodes from oxidized or reduced species that are generated in situ the technique has been used to obtain single crystals of low-dimensional electrical conductors such as charge transfer salts topic history scientific pioneers of

all right what's this The Manor it's very fancy final B oh a baboon I kind of figured it was going to be a baboon this whole time I can't even I don't have any camera control I got darts can I can I play wait no a hold on on let's go through the story his story okay a rabbit jumped on his sand castle now he hates that rabbit he got a degree but he had no [Music] friends he work he was working under the previous leader he made tons of money with arnal land I could pick up the money that is awesome he's stinking Rich [Music] apparently I'm taking all his money taking all his money if he's the bad guy and I see a sand castle I'm knocking it over oh all the items I gathered okay all right what the heck is that version up top I didn't see that before was that on all my videos wait he was part of us huh it was him all [Applause] along oh my [Music] God okay this is a pure [Music] fight [Music] [Applause] [Music] huh [Music] where he almost [Music] died [Music] okay okay okay I love this it it's it's a very clever way of playing this game [Music] W woo [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh I need more hands [Music] w oh I'm getting I'm getting destroyed right [Music] [Applause] now woo [Music] all right all right all right I got this I opened up two there oh we got him that was probably by far probably the easiest boss in this whole game I am so great pacifist we didn't kill anyone but we defeated him oh the continue button shorted out oh oh did I unlock you what just happened is it not over it is not over [Music] guys um okay he's printing money that's [Music] illegal that it oh we're falling Free Falling love it now we're going to go back up huh that's great this is [Music] great you guys care to join me I'm like going to die give me that car get pass it pass it pass it please please Pat oh [Music] yes [Music] w another round this is like non-stop [Music] oh [Music] ow I lost a lot of guys there I don't know why it says version FPS the whole time up here it's kind of annoying me what does it want me to do now all right Liberation smashing yes we beat the game guys oh I get to play the credits yes we're free nrq where you guys went where you guys went how dare you how dare you leave me how dare you leave me guys [Music] stop leaving me I could go this way okay I can actually go this way what's over here a sand castle oh yes no pity destroy the monkey sand castle a it says no pity but I kind of I I kind of that kind of [Music] hurts my guys are disappearing oh hey car oh I can't pick anything up what and you so which one am I a rhino a elephant you you calling me big man calling me big oh oh that last part worth so worth it oh [Music] yes so worth it who is this Velociraptor yes that is adorable oh my God I am in love we did it guys in my own time I'll get a 100 I'll I'll try to 100% this game get all the outfits for myself but in the meantime I I want to thank you all for joining me during this entire Adventure it's a really fun game frustrating at times towards the later levels I was really getting really getting really getting uh I can't even talk it was getting more difficult for me so I I appreciate all of you who stuck with me that entire time through thick and thin and what what else can I say no matter what your time zone may be I hope you have a good morning afternoon and evening bye-bye | Lolanoko The

9Jmb1bACHNE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Jmb1bACHNE | THE 5 P'S OF FISHING GETTING READY FOR OUR #FISHING TRIP | [Applause] hmm okay that works random person interesting news in the name buddha random person by day international spy by night hey mate what's going on [Applause] that's better oops that's not good let's go there ah let's try that [Music] so [Applause] all right let's edit this welcome everyone hello mystic mayhem how are you mate yeah i've been up since 4am mate i couldn't sleep so oh nice one mystic ahem hey there dennis how are you mate welcome to the stream everyone we're going to make some leaders for our trip away unfortunately i've just got to quickly do some things on the stream so just give me a second yeah did they cap the numbers at the um the dawn service uh not much mystic mayhem we just wound the stream up and then this morning i've gone out and bought some 80 pound wire and i've bought a few different little snap swivels and access swivels and that sort of stuff so what we're going to do is we're going to make um we're going to make some wire leaders for our trip away i'm so organized it is frightening so yeah absolutely frightening but anyway i'll just finish this and then we'll get into it oh god just keep me second so no not oh it's just that when you have so much gear um mayhem it's just uh hard to keep on top of it but you know we've got three days of poor weather coming up this week and then i might head down further south and south and chase some salmon on thursday if the weather holds up so we'll figure it out well that should do for now okay who's this idiot screaming anyway manzie hello bud welcome all right that's done i'm going to actually look like i'm remotely intelligent enough to spell let's check this out excellent all good the five ps of fishing getting ready for our fishing trip yep yep yep nice one i'll sort the rest of it out later just give me a second fam all right so we're good noah welcome to the stream bud because i chose not to okay so what we're going to do today thermo is we are going to be making uh some y leaders for our trip away right and um what we're going to do is let's just suss this out right here that's that one there [Music] and what i'm going to do is we're going to make these liters what do we got here we've got 10 meters of wire so we should get 20 liters out of 20 liters 20 made uh 20 rigs out of this there right so that's about 50 okay now like a bit longer okay so what we're going to be doing here is uh when we go up north right we're going to have lots of toothy critters um yeah i've been back on there since january noah but the quality of the stream is much better on youtube mate like it's just so much better it's not funny you know it's still a bit quiet which is early days but you gotta start somewhere mate you know so now when you're crimping wire let me show you a few little tricks here fam okay and um if anybody would like to clip any of this stuff please feel free to right so our mystic mayhem and even our um wonderful mods you know yesterday one of them was saying that the um that twitch was 20 seconds uh is behind you know now what we're going to do is just to give you an idea of how rough and tumble it is right i found an old popper in my tackle box from a free previous previous trips have a look at this for something that's been brutalized by fish there is absolutely no paint left on that whatsoever it's lost an eye on that side but it still rattles really right it still rattles okay it's still held together which is a testament to the quality of halco poppers the rooster poppers but this is what we're up against okay and this is what we will be doing up north okay so um but where we're going right where we're going um is going to be quite difficult for a number of reasons right now if you go to buy um wire leaders from the stores okay they are never as good as the ones that you make yourself obviously because they're made to a price so what i'm going to do is i'm going to show you how to make some my letters so when you make y leaders a lot of people make the mistake of trying to um sort of rush and you know get into it so we have the five ps we have prior preparation prevents poor performance right so what we have here is size a4 crimps which are up to about um about your 80 pound wire so what you do put your crimp on first okay and if someone wants to clip this they can then what you do is you put that through there okay bring that through here don't bring it like too far down and then what you want to do is you want to leave it so it's got a nice angle there on the eye of that now what i like to do is when i'm making these y leaders i always like to double up just for a bit of insurance okay so what i'll do is i'll put this back through here okay now one big thing that people do when they're making wire letters is they'll crimp right to the end of the crimp okay don't do that because what it does is it turns that metal crimp into a bit of a knife and it'll cut you later so see where i've got the pliers positioned on the crimping pliers there if someone can just clip this too when i um close them right okay so that well that's a perfect crimp see that so what i've got is i've got the jaws of the crimping pliers that are flush in the middle of that i haven't crimped it on the edge so what happens is it's like any two pieces of metal if you push them flat right and you have wire in there it'll just cut it like a knife so that's our swivel that's going to get attached to our main line then what we're going to do is and if someone if you do make a clip ammo can you um please um just post it in discord so what we have here is we have some access swivels which are a new type of clamp and these are the traditional rolling swivels with the coast lock snaps so what we're going to do is we're going to make up a few rigs of each and just see how they go what this achieves mayhem is this achieves you the luxury okay of not getting hey stephen how are you bud this achieves the luxury of not getting bitten off by the fish of a lifetime and what we are going to do with this okay steve how are you mate hope you slept well buddy i'm so organized i can't find stuff on here hello puss puss eat some more of these mice right so now what we're going to do is this okay now i've been assured by people in the shop that these clips here they can vouch for them personally so we're going to find out these have a breaking strain of 132 pounds so let's find out okay so this is what we're going to do we're going to get our little crimp okay yeah i've already had two cups of coffee mate i shouldn't do my limit a day is one so what we'll do here is bring that through there like so like that um where are we going to fish mayhem they get spanish mackerel up there nice one they get spanish mackerel up there and spanish mackerel uh a very aggressive fish and you know a good sized mackerel like that will have a set of teeth on it about yeah long so what you need to do is when you have your surface popper on here right what you want to do is when the fish turns away from you like that you want this wire to run along the edge of their teeth and not get cut that's why we're doing it okay so let's bring that back through there actually no let's not let's leave that um they are yeah they're they're a very um they're a very nice fish a lot of fish and chip shops uh like spanish mackerel now once again so see where we have this crimp right if you go to a store and the crimps aren't wider than your crimping pliers don't buy them right okay so that's our first wire leader of the trip all right so we just saved ourselves well custom made wire leaders like this are up around the six or seven dollar mark okay so with the components i mean these swivels are 13 a packet so we're saving ourselves a fair bit of money by making them okay and that is a beautifully crafted swivel the good thing about this is i can hook this into this swivel on here right and then away we go you know so yeah it's going to be pretty good hopefully we can sit there and get everything done and what that will do that just gives us a bit of insurance okay so you don't want these too long 30 to 45 centimeters is usually enough and if you get a really good fish you'll actually have a hard enough time um you know bringing in on this now the other thing that you've got to worry about too is with wire okay um there's some fish that actually get um put off by wire with malawi being one of them so what we're going to do is we're going to have some mullaway rigs right and then once we've got the mullaway rigs we're also going to have some wire rigs a lot of people reckon too that um snapper get put off by wire on rigs so i've never fished for snapper with wire i've only ever used monofilament but i guess we're going to find out when we go away okay so what i'm going to do is i'm going to make a few different rigs here i'm going to do some of the old more traditional style rigs right and then i'm going to do some of these newer ones like that okay so let me just take some of these out now and all this does spamo is this gives you the chance to uh you know get ready for your fishing and that sort of stuff and it just allows you to basically buy some good quality uh gear right and then that way it's just a bit of insurance because like i said there's a lot of fish up north that have a lot of teeth and uh sometimes they'll hit your surface poppers head first and you know if you've got uh if you've got um monofilament it'll just bite through the monofilament pretty easily actually actually i might not do i won't do the flemish eye i'll just leave it like that i think actually i'll do the next couple with the flemish i think that should do it yeah they've been getting some meat along taylor where we're going fishing steve so that's always a fun fish to catch come on i might have to sharpen these pliers i think all right great let's bring this through here now what i'm going to do is i'm going to do some lighter duty ones for the uh i'm going to do some lighter duty ones for just the odd taylor and that then i'm going to do some heavy duty ones when we know some mackies are around it there we go nicely done i think we're getting slightly professional at this fam they're within about a centimeter of each other good work right so the good thing about this is you actually uh what sort of gear you're making right and you know that it's going to be fairly good quality a lot of the stuff that's produced offshore and that sort of stuff i don't think there's as much quality control as the stuff that you make yourself and you know it's just a good way to um make your gear so what i'm going to do now is i'm going to show you how to make a flemish eye so flemish eye is a special way that you can make your wire so it's just a little bit more heavy duty so what you do is you put your swivel through you've already already got your um crimp on right and then uh matey they catch meter long um taylor down south steep okay and where we're going right we should be able to get them oh yeah i mean wa has some fantastic taylor fishing steve you know let's bring that through here now all right so this is what they call a flemish ifam so check this out right that's what this is see there see how that's just a heavier duty loop right a lot of people call it the insurance eye this yeah huge huge steve the mouth of the donnelly river down south has had um a state record at one stage it was over 10 kilos all right famous to see that look at that for a beautiful heavy duty flemish eye on the edge of that okay just a bit of insurance there okay now what we're going to do is we're going to throw the other crimp on here right i'm going to go to a more traditional um going to go to a more traditional type of swivel one that i've used before so i know what it's about so once again through there wrap it around the hook like so not hook line what am i doing [Music] i mean at that size they're just a sports fish mate so right that's probably a bit much there let's try and get the tension out of that we can't oh well so be it [Music] so what you've done once you've done your little flemish eye like that right i always just bring this back through here like i said i just call it a bit of an insurance knot okay [Music] there we go crimp that in place i just from reading a lot of fishing books when i was younger so see that that's our heavy duty um flemish eye on the end and there so say we're fishing for taylor and then we have something like bitten off straight away what we'll do is we'll come back to these and it just gives you a little bit more of an option at the business end of the um at the business end of the um swivel which clips to the lure so that way you know you just gotta look it everything's in the fish's favor you know yeah back in the days when we would read books to improve our skill set steve you know what i mean so i think if we do 10 of these we should be okay we might go and hit some salmon up later on this week too fam come on and of course like everyone else that's learnt the hard way steve mistakes gotta make mistakes to learn famo and it's the same old story just you know steady steady don't try and uh it's not a race everybody you know has a different aptitude or a different way of learning so you know you don't want to sort of sit there and try and turn everything into a competition with fishing because there is a fair bit of luck uh which i sometimes thinks um tends to even sort of outweigh skill you know so luck is a far more dominant factor with your fishing you can be the most prepared person in the whole world go to a fishing spot and you know do everything right and all the rest of it you have one of those days where you catch nothing and then someone comes along yeah that's right steve they were made out of paper which was made from wood you know i've pulled down too much wire from here now let's go let's go let's go lovely so once again fam do not crimp these too close to the edge of the crimp right see how i've got the head of the pliers equidistant on the midpoint of the um crimp then i can cramp it down like that [Music] okay and that's embedded in on everything all right now once again through here now let's do another one and get another one of these coast lock snaps ah bring that in through there oh no that's too much i've got enough twists in there what am i doing okay so bring that crimp down now bring that down through here right so that holds it in place correctly back through here right down through here oh well that's good mate you know at least you're catching something power we don't realize how lucky we are in um wa steve because eastern states is quite crowded mate they've got so many people that are just um you know shoulder to shoulder fishing and not worrying about bag limits and that sort of stuff it's ridiculous i was having this same chat with someone yesterday so you've got to get up there and try and enjoy it while we still can mate because one day we're going to have too many people here as well you know oh once i get these um ones the other way it's probably a little bit close to the edge but we should be okay with it righty-o now you're in turquoise bay up to your knees wow how'd you handle that cob hey spanglish are a good fish to um get as well so so okay back through here yeah i'm hoping we catch some meat along mulleway and meet along taylor steve would be nice to get a few you know what's a protected sanctuary oh oh you weren't fishing there oh good it wouldn't stop some people mate i'll give you the tip you know i mean that's keen isn't it you know what i mean so what we're doing is we're prepping everything before we go away family um let's go again here i need to do another fairly good one alright you picked up an ugly stick good work mate how um how big was the ugly stick how big was the ugly stick ah uh eight foot okay well that's pretty good mate you've got a fishing rod for life there so one piece or two piece steve all right great there's a little shorter one that we've made beautiful well in the time that we've been streaming we've made six heavy duty um wire leaders fam so i've got three swivels left um yeah my recommendation if you're gonna buy a pair of crimping pliers steve go and get yourself a pair of these boone crimping pliers um i've got two pairs the old one sort of got worn out a bit and a bit flogged out right but um yeah good good good crimping pliers mate these ones i had for about 15 years so you know yeah i don't know mate um i think both of them had an indifferent start to this season but um yeah big game essendon collingwood two-piece oh that's right mate don't stress but two-piece rods are good mate you know all fishing rods have their place oh [Music] uh what do you mean where from you should be able to find boone crimping pliers from any um tackle store steve i think most stores sell them they're uh they're brought in with the company that i think that does pen so they should have them who's that pure fishing whatever [Music] um boone b-o-n-e yeah b double o n e see that in there so they're just a good um traditional pair of crimping um traditional yeah traditional crimping pliers mate they're pretty good like that cannot wait to go up there and flick some lures around in the surf oh damn just you know get him out there and i always have to drop one don't i there it is oh yeah daniel boone that's the one but i think did he have an e on the end of his name or just was it b o n who knows we'll just go for a shorter one here yeah matey it's good you know like um i've got to just spend a few days getting a few things tidied up around here catch up on work and then uh um [Music] great all right we'll do two more and then that'll be enough all right we'll just make these ones a little bit longer uh hey debtless pig how are you mate welcome to the stream bud what's going on good matey we're just making some heavy duty wire leaders for our upcoming trip up north so uh yeah just getting on top of it mate beforehand want to have everything done and dusted by about thursday then it's just a question of light up the car for the trip and we're away cannot wait and we've managed to fluke it just the hoping the conditions are good you know hoping the conditions are good should be though we should be okay now this is the old one mate i've gotta do a couple of things with the laptop before i can do the 4k so i'll be probably doing that wednesday of thursday cub there we go nice right now which of these am i going to use i think we'll get one more big one here yeah this is just 1080p mate so i've got to get that sorted out before we go away don't know yet steve i don't know whether i'm going to be bothered with the ballooning um i'm just going to try and um i might do just depends on the wind you know like if you go up there and you've got the wrong winds you need true easterlies to balloon you know what i mean and if you go up there you've got south easterlies and all that sort of stuff it sort of doesn't take it straight away from the shore so that in itself presents other problems you know what i mean i spent so many months just putting money into surface poppers and other stuff fam and finally we're going to get a chance to use them you know [Music] okay oh that's a bit terrible i pinched that that's not good at all hang on oh they are mate you know and you just got to try and just got to try and get it on the right day i guess but you know literally the weather and the fishing conditions are a day by day proposition up there so i just got to get up there and wait and see you know i mean i'm glad i didn't go up this week because we would have been absolutely blown off the water and um i mean when you go fishing up north if you go away for two weeks as a rule of thumb you tend to have your time up there for winds and conditions that don't suit your fishing so you know to go up there in five days and fluke two days of good conditions would just be you know unheard of but that's what we're hoping [Music] who peninsulas or let's do another one of these all right we got enough wire ah so all right so there we are nicely nicely ah all right famo good work so what we have now is we have a variety of wire leaders all made with really good heavy duty components okay so we've got some you know 30 to 45 centimeter wire leaders that should cover all of our fishing conditions okay this is all seven strand into woven nylon coated wire right and i mean um that should be a um good start so what did we make nine i think three four five six seven eight nine yeah so i know if you work off losing one a day you know what i mean um although some of the fish up there when they um hit they do tend to destroy your tackle pretty quickly and the other thing is to you know that um just make it easier to sort of um land them once you hook them so i think that's going to be it for today laser show hello riley welcome to the stream bud right so yeah we've um we've managed to make these wire rigs okay these are really heavy duty um swivels i didn't go out and buy any i just use ones that we've had and what we've done here is use three different types of snap swivels we'll go and try them all out and see which ones are the best okay and yeah just work from there but uh yeah the terminal tackle nowadays i mean in the old days 200 pound breaking strain swivels were like this you know but i guess they were made of brass and they were fairly good quality so you don't mind you know all right fam thanks for tuning in i'm going to sign out and i'll see you all soon bye for now | Australis Fishing | UCj9TLwKsG-RnmyqoTffAi8g | 2022-04-25 | Creative

AYQx-SSMnTA | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYQx-SSMnTA | 44th Annual Glenn Miller Festival Panel Discussion | [Music] all right good morning everybody how many are filled with pancake yeah so I try to stay awake this is our Glenn Miller birthplace society panel it varies every year and we have some new faces I wasn't going to say all the places they are difficult there are we all right so we will introduce them to you if you have a question a little bit later on find you this is just kind of a free-for-all of talking about Glenn Miller his music big band era and why these people have been attracted to him in the way of introduction is let me go ladies first this lady was born into a welcome can never leave my mother's boy singer Ray Everly she's having singing career of her own she has a book out about her dad and she'll fill us in on itself all those things next up is done a spray on the end there he has literally written the book he has impressive presentation afternoon this one he do we now call you the director of the archive do you have a title janitor he's representing the big stater London I learned today as well and so he's a man now these next two fellows are calls so we're gonna learn together this man is from Dusseldorf Germany Spanglish Reinhard Scheer Penix all right he is another Glenn Miller collector and Dennis says he subdued with research as well as our next poem here David Fletcher from Richmond Virginia so give all these fine we have an empty chair here this is a memory of our dear friend Alan Katz who was longtime director of the archive of well he literally put it on the back in Boulder Colorado I'm characterized as a very tenacious researcher he's probably the best word I know in terms of finding facts and details or saying things that I didn't find and he's a wonderful resource before I talk a little bit about right now I'm going to interject something about both of these men the University of Colorado in Boulder has a great advantage as a as a center for archives and there are other there are many images but one is the network of collectors and researchers at other universities and in private life that given of their time their knowledge and even the Treasury to the furtherance of the legacy of Glenn Miller in the big band era so these guys are here today for a reason they know a lot in Kerala and they have much to share that's an introduction to my friend from Dusseldorf why not we've become very close over the years Reinhard is known and you'll be embarrassed when I say this for being the premier and expert and a party shot that exists on this planet and I think that's a fair comment he would know it's true much as you so please feel free to ask either one of these men David knows much about diversity and other parts of being on party but they both know as much about Glenn as anybody walking around except perhaps for head so here Jan what you've been doing lately you participated in our scholarship competition is going to be having some surgeries step in the post I've been doing this long enough I think so a little exhausting and it's constant go but I'll tell you what we had some of the absolute most talented artists students and I'll stay in the country because this is a national scholarship so if you're here and you're in the top ten when you get here you're already a winner you know I'm in the top ten the national scholarship event so we had a marvelous time yesterday I do scholarship for capital as well in the state college in Florida I mentor young music students there have a blast doing that and since I retired from singing about five or six years ago this is really what fills me I don't know I don't think any one thing to find yes but it's a passion we just say that so ever since I got here the scholarship program I'm involved in other aspects of that back home in Florida I have I just had my fourth book come out in the fall as another children's book called whinnies farm so I've got two children's books and two biographies one is my father's story as I said I have retired from singing although I did a number last year so he's fully retired and I'm just sort of putting it over there but that is also something I enjoyed for a very long time and it was going to see my big band music there's a second generation of the advanced human survivors so this is who I am today and I'm enjoying it very much oh let him hear what had this organization given new 14 years you're the kind of awareness I mean not really not really we know I've been representing my father since he died when I was 19 as his as his official representative you know to watch over his his history as a singer and you know and everything so I've always felt that knew that but I really do think the scholarship program is we're not you know really really oh this is cool I mean we have to do this okay David how did you get interested in the Miller how far back to you going you're gonna have to get right into the microphone there two words college student 1943-44 high school student 36:40 of course we covered what happened during that span and take years but you never she never lost touch with that I was a childhood piano student that aptitude for and I was just attracted to this music coming wafting down the hall in the master bedroom area Rashidah their sewing and playing her own records with college commercial activities Miller enforcing instruction speculum changer and after a while just because I got curious is it wasn't what was coming out this is saxophones and perhaps like many of us that sound right moment how did you learn about Glenn Miller in Germany he was 14 1929 and he grew up in Germany in the 1930s my mother who's Dutch they would listen to the BBC to my grandfather and my grandfather was at the time still would be the neighborhood Nazi Party he was hurt he was scared to death to the BBC to find out what was really happening although I guess that you see also anyway they were listening to what in Germany is called the fine sender and that was you were risking death penalty so in soo bahk the bar has divested the entire family and with the American soldiers occupied Germany came American music and for most of the young kids swing and jazz revelation was beauty because until 1945 jazz and swing music as subculture democratic music music for basic level idiots so that all changed in 1945 and suddenly the German Jews Muslim Austria and Belgium that you also open up a little bit although they they had a few could be quite a few good to swing bands 1930s so my father wouldn't touch the swing and he started to like Benny Goodman Fats Waller and a number of other musicians so then one point he met my mother they got parent to the United States I was born in early music music that David just mentioned the Beatles Rolling Stones I was pressing whoever was it at the time and I just didn't like it that's just one record I liked frequently that was being crossed before the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra I don't know come hands from 1936 still cherish the speaker to suit this for a day but musicals like American Paris stimulate the rain Easter Parade that so it was an on-and-off thing at one point I was 50 in the 1976 I was flying Taylor Shaunie let's throw out Tony Dorsett song I think it not bad oh it's number one that you couldn't I didn't laugh at the point and that's how I grew and then you're about half a year later I got my first piece we plan ahead checks one which I've mentioned yesterday after the concert the double LP album legendary perform with air checks from 1939 to 1940 - and I told David Baxter this morning when I listened to that record at that time I was embarrassed to ask my father - you read erasure so 1977 we spent record store there was still at that time than advertised Sam Goody with an excellent selection and we went there the day after Elvis Presley died I think our members were went to the store there was a big sign and it says we have no more Elvis Presley sold out and the sold out within 24 hours or so and I bought my first the article piece the double RCA Victor album this is Artie Shaw who was selected from 1938 to 1941 and then the first two groups Bluebird albums from 1938 to my father two comments they mentioned his mother and maybe thought process is that Glenn Miller's Bluebird records particularly Bowers were very popular among teenage women and this was a bell for me because in my experience at home or no Bret the second any records that still existed in the home at the time and we were very fortunate house we had a father who was in the entertainment industry they had the ability to you know order any RC Erica product that existed was especially as someone who just discovered big bands because all these album saying even 45 becoming upon request because there were radio station broadcasting several copies but that's beside the point the popularity of Glenn Miller among young women I think his experience of mine would be that in my case what the bluebird records were in the house had been my mother's before my parents met and I suspect that's true a lot in that era which is an aside about the popularity of club it was amazing now as far as rain was concerned he didn't mention something about his family to ask him to talk about because he mentioned something to many of her day which is a little bit off of Glenn Miller but it's a very relevant point and a very important point about our world and how we perceive history and it's a very touchy story I thought about a gentleman a wrister crack not necessarily a actually a commoner who rose through the ranks of the Kriegsmarine determine Navy and did something which I think was very special about show up denying himself a title to show that his his sailors that he they too could rise through the ranks but you may not know about Brian Martens the identity of his great-grandfather which I would like to to determine fund on the second the other half my family's Belgian my mother 50% 25% 25% German which sort of puts me I've been passport to German passport but also US passport because I was born in New York City so but my grandfather was a Navy officer in the late 19th century his name is Hennings and he married a woman medium warm but he died for assume he died in 1897 of 1896 so there was then this Germany in war with young foolish called the son who was born after his father's death she called new clothes so that was a group of paintings and she had another beast of a country that was at that time a commander or a captain and [Music] Rear Admiral then he was promoted to vice admiral and in 1969 1969 took over the command of the German high seas fleet and until that time the German high seas duties have been the Navy and that board has accepted that position and have been quite an active in with the more seat while the role of coordinating kept the poor mother the blockade which also come up during World War one from all the trade and commerce so a change that became a lot more aggressive and the German part also hosting but when I see daylight at the Harbin 31st May 1916 and eventually ran into the Royal Navy because both navies had packs through secret source as a spice powder that they had left the harbor so they met next in the middle of the North nor senior the Hugh Jackman's and that detained at the famous great battle of German in German Scottish Baptist I remember and which was the largest sea battle of naval history in that battle the Germans succeeded in seeking more English ships and killed more unfortunate British soldiers and came away with less losses in material ships and sailors returned to the harbour that was one of the cases when the German propaganda actually beat the Allied propaganda what were one and they succeeded in telling the world the story the German Navy has beaten the wrong Navy at second to thought about early means the waves which of course was not true because even though a German a success succeeded in they had not change in situation it was still posted but country that was called the victor of the Battle of Jutland and he the second-in-command were then given the opportunity to accept the aristocratic form to their name so could himself have named from them what that point on I had followed share but he refused these properties we don't know why is that it came from a middle-class family first of telekinetic wisdom of wealth at the end of his career and I think he wanted to state whose roots he did want to join in actual case of someone from normal family going all the way up to the highest point in his branch as when you refuse to set that's also called himself sushi however just finished that note so I can complete the circle intensify me but it's nothing to do with Ken bitter he was a little bit vain because he saw himself also as the winner of the battle of turbulent and he pitched before he had two daughters and at that time is absolutely normal practice whenever you daughter married she was course except her husband's name his main concern was that the family name share was as a result vanished and all been there so he doctored my grandfather who brought Hemmings and payment the right to call himself that's why my name is and last weekend I was invited to a anniversary commemoration event in Denmark and the government there as together would be my if you want my opposite number the grandson of John Jellicoe at the Royal Navy and we are part of the commemoration event every year - and it's very nice event try to make sure Dennis tell everybody about your book his book came out a year and a half two years ago and it's available here and for years you know the question was asked what really happened tickle another dentist spent five years researching that now he has literally with the book what was interesting recently in Pennsylvania Tiger has announced they think they found the plane they hadn't but there are never said they might have fisherman in Britain probably 50 to 60 miles west of what the flight path of the aircraft should have been if it was claimed that in the 1980s 87 be precise he honest was trawling these fishing lines and caught hooked into his net and pulled up a silver aircraft with American national insignia on it that appeared to him to be a Nordine and c64 Norseman he thought that he would be in trouble with the British authorities for dragon and immediately released it and put it back into the water he threw the fish back so Tiger came upon this story even though others have already learned about it over the years and dismissed it and they are famous if you don't know them they're famous were looking around for Amelia Earhart for last 30 years and they've mounted five or six expensive expeditions to the South Pacific and they claim that Amelia and Fred Noonan survived the running out of gas until they perished from famine starvation they've been seeking evidence to prove that they haven't that's been inconclusive and they continue to raise funds to do so skeptics say that they are using Glenn Miller to raise money that may not be the case I find them to be fairly professional there are some inconsistencies with appreciate the story not the least of which is the fact that's not in the location where the plane would have been second of all they claim it's a silver claim the aircraft was painted all of the great theater paid according to Army Air Force records so somebody's ignoring those records conveniently and of course the obvious there is an event because according to the United States Air Force there was a violent accident you know this thing is dead this thing was we did the flight simulator at Maxwell Air Force Base at the University and we ran it 20 times with simulator and 20 out of 20 times during the conditions that flight officer Stewart Morgan faced at 2:55 p.m. on December 15 1944 20 out of 20 times in clashes so the plane was put in a position of failure but what I'm driving at on this is that having gone into the water even if it hadn't been a final entry into the water after 75 years an aircraft constructed mostly of wood and fabric would no longer exist and it would have no longer existed in 1987 either so that's the latest what's going on in this seat is empty because of how grey who otherwise may be nurturing last year unfortunately house brother passed away can you stay yes salaries of our panel last year provide input of the stories music-wise David is there something that's been discovered and we said history and nobody to do about showed up somewhere well the short answer is yes followed by this happens all the time and that's largely because this year the number of broadcasts made by all these bands problem is they're not all universe we reported by the same mountain if there were there would be an archive already and as in the case of NBC sometimes in CBS you have the network making recordings and they they come home for the case of Miller versus CBS show entire a transcription service Harry Smith in New York Smith that number contract 'yes it was his job to record them off the air and so those discs stayed and honest but then you have kids around the country who were addicted to this new music and somehow they scraped enough money together to have home dissipating equipment and so you had private recordings made by various people some high schools in college up through here all the operator that was then you know we're to have all those distant ones since if you troll eBay every so often these things pop up Reinhardt can give you some exciting stories about other things come and go very quickly you can get into a bidding war or something extraordinary very people didn't know even exist so the answer is these things show up all the time and sometimes we're just blindsided by the surprise Dennis what are we going to hear some of the more things that I know Steve was working too perhaps you know release some more of the air checks and that's really the as I've said in the past the original discs have to be carefully transferred from disk to digital domain data check to determine if the discs however are CDMA tapes from those programs some are headed and some are intact and some but the short answer to that is we have just finished an inventory at Sony Vegas and we digitized 3,000 16-inch transcriptions and took time for them to accomplish that many of those are I know most of which are already known to some of which may not be but they ended in the toilet in the past many time versus those recordings were set back by RCA from the NBC catwalk for the purpose of something possible releases they had who some of them to give you an idea of the business metrics like this we did Frank Sinatra on the air CD set four years ago which was highly received which is very gratifying we intended that to be an eight CD set of which three of the CDs were all Frank singing with Tommy Dorsey and these broadcasts from the hotel ask the roof in the order and pristine audio condition never ever Frank sound so good well the powers that be at Sony legacy decided that would be a four CD set and they liked the CBS Frank Sinatra shows from 45 46 47 and they dropped the door see that early happy one sleepy outdoors I was very disappointed quickly check out three so there are some economics involved and I think the good news is this and on living with this box and I give too much away we are currently at Sony Vegas putting together a plan to not just monetize but rationalize the inventory that exists in the vault at Iron Mountain Pennsylvania and to make public through probably online access because most now of their distribution is people pay 99 cents attract or $8.99 I'm their physical CD business is drying up that's not a bad thing because all of that overhead of producing those CDs can be bypassed and then we can hear more employment or sustaining broadcasts and I can tell you that the most Miller estate will be very supportive of the Chesterfield programs eventually being released now you know I've always said do you need to hear all 38 versions of in the mode that appear on Chesterfield over here and the answer for most collectors is yes all right I think you were 14 right now I love and then chose well I don't know something about that one moment takes you might want to share it's an interesting story but as I said before Carl once I got into into my collecting activities and realized that what RCA had issued as air checks either party shoe room of the catalyst or on the five piece set to deliver and a similar set to help ease for Tommy Dorsey at one point I realized these are just excerpts of complete broadcasts and where are these broadcasts and make it not too long but I first fortunate visit in 1986 with Bonnie however and he brought me in contact with Brad McCune who wasn't for Marcy engineered and he sold me back then first by percent and then later so we've seen these transcriptions of operation and easy regular attacks on their own treasure Clemson's did and they're still sort of part of our collection they're not the only crown jewel that have not come to that in a second and these broadcasts or the company going in as they gave me call me to that term training power without the collectors some things others didn't have and that's what going back to Brad was been involved in peace where the compute broadcast and he helped me then - okay so you know but a Roman enter that person and refer to practice - and that was sort of in the mid-1990s as a responsible person and then ten years or ten years later exam or whether commercial real estate more and discipline and being a lawyer and have a lovely wife or get four sons none of them is husband shares my interest of my domestic professional responsibilities of course cut my time available to - my what - the Jasmine's wouldn't interest my you enough to called it always saying ah mr. Damon hasn't will have more than 24 hours so but actually one day I was mr. July July 2002 I think I was we were large international firm and my secretary called as I said to eat and mr. Sol Sol has called you okay and he saw the name and I this is the first but it's his son to whom we wrote about ten years ago of the destitute race so I called him and he said well with the hairs and we've got all the chest as we chose and we are trying to sell them and said all right hope you are understand me at least and he sent me a list and this was basically complete transfer of all the chests officials going from 2077 1939 till date 20 24th of September 1942 all the material that was reported visited state by carpenter at Harrison is recording service the purchase price was quite steep I have been very good friends with at Bergen at the time producer federal records and some crafts most of you know me and and an island source talking to you and said alright I'll buy these all these Chesterfield shows and to the world and he had lined up the son of another country quite famous band leader s Brown jr. and he wanted to step into the distribution I said to my wife and I have shown me how much money we would make on these tapes so I thought the tapes to Germany and then I did something pretty smart I hope you smart well I was already I almost have retired as war because particle to image through the chest officials I talked a message to it apology and congratulations because copied them myself maybe trade once or twice very small amounts with other collectors otherwise the best advice we can also buy from time to time presentation is if we can't find something we asked and Reinhart has been a very very staunch supporter of the archives and this day in terms of lending materials from these it's short cut time we don't have to back and direct them out of the vault or something and he's also helped us several years ago we had that we had had a series of requests from universities because Glenn Miller 1914 Blake 41 and all 42 the band is dedicating tunes on their moonlight serenade to different universities and colleges around the country so the University of Miami was one in Florida even here was a Colorado the performance dedicated in there was a Colorado Boulder that plays over here to a Center on campus and that source material for that was wonderful so this is all going full circle Burke is very upset so after the legal advice came back from one of our partners which support whether they've already been told in the German office I call them which and I bought these tapes and Axios an extra me the main purpose was to get this this material is something I always wanted to have and I'm happy the way is I don't have to go out and issue them he was very upset with me yeah I mean it's approach that's not true every other in head works his approach with Isis and happy with me all right questions in the carrier can I take a quick comments on the second Thomas versus me but it made me think about something that was it's not about lost or you know tapes or things of that nature but sometimes we think about forgotten things and I want to give Nick Hillshire a tremendous amount of credit for going into the archives and pulling things out that have not been taken out or signed out from years like 1960 1970 to 1959 and the reason why I know this is rather in the conversation with Dave my husband and I receive McNichol air which is just talking and we were talking about certain students of my dad reported so we got into a conversation about that and he goes my favorite is the song called everything my love and my husband and I looked at them like this because that sort of arsal so I said oh my gosh I miss him so the next year when I saw him he opened the effect it was here the curtains opened and he came out started the show and he did this big thing you're talking about two grown-ups out there I'm their eyes they play the darn thing in their backstage is hanging as my father would be came backstage myself we were where Moses he says it's in the archives that I looked at it hasn't been signed out since 1960 so he brings songs you know there's hundreds and hundreds of songs that they don't abandon recorded we go to a 90 minute or two hour concert we're not going to hear hundreds and hundreds of songs but if any one everyone wants to hear anything anything that's really important and you could get word together you'll get it you'll do the best he can to sign that out because he loves bringing some of those things how about their people who loved them and so I like the idea of staying under better I'm going to play and not just the popular ones but I'm going to go back in it dig through the archives to pull out some things that were very meaningful and very important and very popular and so I'd like to get you know a lot of credit for that because it's not only what he's doing with the orchestra and how much he means to that orchestra it's teaching them to go outside go past that limit and bring the people what you know they would like to hear some songs that haven't been played in LA so that's not really a found tape but it's a forgotten idea I was willing to say we don't forget Nick did something very special last night other than supporting day you will have heard a tune last night when it started by guaranteed not one person in this auditorium to do what it was and it was Jack and Jill and what you heard in the beginning was we used to remember four instrumental open opening on the score that exists an existed then and the band played in live appearances but not on broadcast in every part of it so this vid starts having a lot of thought we must be something from Billy man in early 1950s and the answer is that there's the coincidences the arranger was Billy Mays that's what sounded like a medic but you heard the whole thing and this is winning so wonderful the only recording of that that exists from the original Glenn Miller Orchestra in 1941 was on the Chesterfield broadcast and it's a ribbing the whole front end of it is there because of time considerations so Nick does things like that or we would not otherwise have ever heard it question is yes very important I get a perspective from New Orleans and Dennis will remember well when the liminal archive at the University they were acquired at the Burger collection Steve Miller Miller Miller son was encouraging us at every turn to give this collection to secure this collection and how you buy these recordings that we know that it is it has become accepted not acceptable and the reason I say accepted it is more expensive for fun Horner like the state of Illinois to pursue a bootlegger say in the [Music] they're working some of them the United Kingdom I say that facetiously that's the home of bootlegs in any of them you would find that you spend more money chasing them around from having to put your product on those who need that it's worth going after them and of course the Internet has made this an impossible task because we have this happen every single week with star spangled radio there is a gentleman who are not mentioned who has a youtube channel remember the internet allows millions of people suddenly become broadcasters even though the actual broadcasters were licensed to the federal government have to pay royalties or copyright fees to the owners of the music to performance or charity that still exists that anachronism in some people's minds still exists however lovers of freedom on the internet will take a program that we record from our archives with the permission of so many legacy and they will eliminate our comics and then throw it on the YouTube channel and say I am NOT the expert on Glenn Miller I'm sure they review all these treasures so they've stolen it that's kind of tech today in our world is it that exists so that point of me that's back from another we call or the other having said that the until now there were more likes and protection expired in Europe very people to broadcast material whatever and then go to Europe because the copyright period expired and they could proceed and issue the material legally for example that was awesome some of you suggest that was made to more ensure there when he found the safer collection numerous people approached him and probably accurately said to him look we understand they have a problem to issue these broadcasters I think we're missing dark we received our $265 world to check from was they had last name that for the three good mentor Exeter on that CV so that leads me to one more statement and that is that there are many producers independent producers all European producers that will come back to the notice day and or Sony legacy world and correctly properly devices sunrises new Sony because in this case the artist Lynn Miller in his hairs had an exclusive agreement with some legacy whoever corporate descendant of RCA Victor to release music recordings I agree with Jim I never would have picked out different challenges you know everybody go started X every night with her memory tonight in that turf and rhythm in the intro all over I'm stepping out of every tonight no is it beautiful song yeah [Music] I think all different sorts of endings an example of that is be Twain she sang that so many of the bands and she died and she said she would do one of those famous songs and get my $50 for the session and the Artic Shaw music forever our venue Goodman and that was it for her but Stalin do it as elective Auto female sinners and female centers of that era as David said where once the war was over you would think you had burned oil from along that because suddenly more opportunities should have been opening up as the band to pursue that because they're run economical to run around and you know since two different tasks I've ended up in radio on radio network series others like James dad or Miliband in pretty well took different directions but we're remains we don't have anything I have a frustrated Miller fan from way back there is not frustrated because I love the Glenn Miller balance I wish there were scores the scores Alice that were played by the Miller Band either radio transcriptions or recordings sung by some guy with a great early and a chain you may be familiar with that happened I'm a devil-may-care fools rush in you can just need sports I mentioned and the frustration is that at concert performances as we've seen last night they were great and I like the introduction of the various tunes who were not normally recorded and but they just always have to play Tuxedo Junction in the mood for girls and so on which are great don't get me wrong but that frustration is relieved a little bit of the dance because more of the slow Allen tunes are played at that time but I wish that they would issue recordings that had nothing that the balance I mentioned that was to Nick and Nick's response was that it probably wouldn't sell because they need to mix in other type tunes but anyway I've expressed my frustration there you sit down in the lead like you and I would buy sent you to two box sets one of the Japanese RCA label and one on the American BMG now Sony label they're still in the inventory and most of those students are available on one-time nanofiber whole box set every single one of let another studio recordings al artisan perfect and so with someone is a complete test and once all of them you can have them so yes sir the technical question I believe geographically close to did their recordings I assumed the recordings of continuous how did that technically do this this before the things that we come back the officers came in the Second World War whatever how did actually do it put another the leadest which were huge things but well you they seem to be continues how is it actually technically done two answers of that question broadcast history recordings ministerial recordings were there were made two copies of a master I mean you don't want to make one copy that'll break the record waste of your time many of you've heard the start in the past people of told where they make up things the RCA Studios and then one of the original first cut that they do the band playing with them destroyed that people are taken home they they do all kinds of things with them but I think you're driving that the broadcasts and the broadcast of course this is the 16-inch transcriptions of NBC and CBS network used for most of their programs including the big band 15 minutes a disc so that when the engineer would have two turntables in front and they fled one playthrough and then they'd start another so that's why when you listen to anything digitize these things you have a break you know that you can hear them one run out never start and when we put them together to plug in and they're entirely a little bit the other put together performing one in the case of blending was Chesterfield programs those with smaller discs prepared assume that they're ten inch and there's two discs for over 130 tune in for part 1 part 3 part 2 part 4 again you're flipping your discs over as you go through the program someone's name will be doing that even think about this for a minute in terms of compliance for radio stations and networks at the time how many discs they had to pile up to prove to advertisers or commercial programs that the ads ran it has thought so they had to keep that and in the SCC for compliance purposes they keep track of what they put on the air so there are quite a few discs finally never very heavy being cumbersome to move with them and today I can take one little stick that I can stick a tiny little thing and it can contain out as much as it would have been on a small stage and then all those transcription discs radio stations as technology changed often they get so there are collectors it's a more polite well if y'all get thrown out people graduate language this is wmw and you better get there this morning or it's gonna be thrown out well we have a good story for me you know the big dance party Tommy Dorsey number what the MGM Studios Hollywood glamour business do you know that MGM the first they were recording all these big discs to whatever making movies not just an advance all studio orchestra everything there was a point in time where my pen pen is there was ever one digging for it a lot of those records there was a frank sinatra boxset came out 10 years ago where somebody went and GM and it had its old number of tires and they did tucked away up in Nixon crannies somebody still out there time is almost at the end final comics will start a future you know I think the main reason that the scholarship program has started was because from that very small donation that grew and grew grew was because Glenn would have and I think the family also wanted to support feeder their music grades give them the opportunity to train go to school and do things like that and as time moves forward we see some of the possibility for them to get financing and being cut and cut cut and so for those of you who are Glenn Miller into a society members and you do get to discover your program and if you are not I ask that you consider whether it's here other scholarships if what we had here yesterday during the stage show is an indication of you know the future of music is in good hands and and somebody really like heard somebody say something very wise out of the blue and this person said children make up 25% of us at 100% of our future right now just makes me children very important to pick up a point that Tom Daugherty said yesterday when he finished his performance they must preserve this music room for Astoria that's my main concern unfortunate interests in our music we planned murder or any of the other orchestras is unfortunately waning and I would hope that we can reverse the trend and yesterday for me was renovation to see so many people be excited to hear mirror bad often the other orchestras and so many people that getting up for breakfast morning at 7:00 a.m. to listen to Tom Orchestra game is great but I think unfortunately it's not enough need more people to support the music because otherwise well I think interest will wane and that computer itself is in my to me and my heart this is the most beautiful music this touches notice I think my heart su casa my speech in the collector scholarship world we can look at these objects and knowing cool things artists of the past is there the nuts of red squirrels but there's more to it than that the love for this I think there's a recognition that this is our culture this is important that this is an artistic endeavor that was of such high quality it's an absolute shame that it's slipping through the fingers of the country and so we become in a way evangelist for the culture and you have children you have you work in schools if the fire hasn't been live with these people these creatures because the culture at large doesn't always support you you have to decide whether all of us here at this room agreed this is there was one question that certainly I think you had a question yes [Music] plantation acts starring Al Jolson film but they lack the soundtrack somehow or another a few dedicated researchers located a widow lady in maryland rural Maryland so she made some inquiries to the lady did your husband hardly believe the truth so they located a disc plantation act broken in five pieces and put together with epoxy now of course we're talking about these people are technicians the empathy green how to extract the pieces that were glued with epoxy without damaging further the disk they develop an idea placing the distance between two sheets of glass inside you get out in the sunlight very hectic but at any rate it did the job it melted the epoxy without warping the disk because it was a place within two sheets of glass and with computer technology today David you wouldn't believe it you'd have to hear it on YouTube which is available felicito and watch how they sit it up somehow or another you can't you would never know that in cracking five places but it's just phenomenal and wonderful people of this community Glen as many of you know spent many years tracing down and communicating with veterans and people in the industry with letters and testimonials for grabs things been a wonderful help in preserving history from this end of the hospital Steve Noah's Direction was always - not his preserve that develop and share the legacy and he was focused like a laser beam in his own way what but his focus was as jam points out and his David is vertically for the next generation and the next generation after that and to focus on the students the educators the researchers and to continue the legacy and I can say that that was only Steve's focus that was Alma Casas focus all Tanner everyone else involved that you've seen over the years okay and I think that's the message to Johnny licentious which is and the thing that for the internet mentioned a number of times like so many things it can be obeyed and it can be a blessing for us and that's what way young people can be exposed they're going on what's this you never know what I call the switch I've been coming here since 1986 and of course it was mostly the World War two generation folks yeah they would ask me be one of the other folks then what's gonna happen in this music will it stay alive well I'm here to tell you so far we're still here yeah and so does the music so hopefully will be for some time to come so thank you all next up we will have a program like Dennis and [Applause] | kcbigbandjazz | UCxLYWbxXg0G3BqUZIKqnP9w | 2019-06-15 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

so thank you so much for doing that so yes let's now get into the podcast finally so essentially jake paul what's going on what's he doing what's happening so there's three main points i'd like to talk about one is going to be like the myth and the philosophy the philosophy side of things and how that actually works and plays out the second is going to be like brain brain and and like brain science in terms of why they're actually going through and doing what they're doing and then the third one is leadership and that sort of like helps you kind of understand if you find them frustrating or not but i think it's really quite fantastic to understand these things i think it's really quite awesome so essentially jake's journey obviously we've seen him from being viral on some i don't i can't even remember some platforms that weren't even around like that aren't even around anymore um it's going viral on some platforms and you've seen him and his brother logan um just go through a whole bunch of different things we've been watching them grow up like they're so young they're in their mid-20s and they're completely so young and i would like to start this podcast off by sharing with you guys quick stories in terms of development masculine development king development we're going to use the term king i know there's a lot of people out there that don't like the term for specific archetypes which is what i'm going to be talking about in terms of king but i'm going to use it for this sake so essentially we all have these different archetypes within our personal psyche and if you guys want to learn out more you can listen to my podcast carol s pearson or you could listen to my hero's journey podcast either one of those will or the king more imagination love podcast either one of those will explain to you this on a much higher level detail but this masculine development has a story that has been told through a whole bunch of different resources and if you want to learn out more want to learn more on this i would read here with a thousand faces king mora magician lover the origins and history of consciousness man and his symbols i would also look at some of jordan peterson's work and stuff that he does um thus spoke zarathustra by frederick nature they said this there's just basically a whole bunch of resources that resources that explain this story now one of the things that jordan peterson likes to talk about and there's a story that he likes to discuss is the mesopotamian king and basically that story is essentially there's a ruler in this kingdom in the city in the palace and essentially every single year new year's they drag him out out of the emperor city and they the the people lash him whip him and strike him and every time they strike him he has to say something that he's done wrong something that he could have done something that he didn't do and why he didn't do them and how he could be a better king so essentially that's like humbling the king bringing him down this also happens within the story of the buddha so the buddha was in a palace lived in a palace and his dad never wanted him to see anything bad because he wanted him to be the best ruler ever he didn't know what sickness death or even growing old was and it wasn't until he left the palace i'm not sure if it was secretive or not but he ended up seeing these things and experiencing them and he had a complete freak out because he didn't even know what they were until he was like the age of 18 or 19 or something so then he ended up living it living among the slums he left he was like no i need to experience this left among the slums and and lived in in in that world for a while before traveling to a mountain and becoming enlightened so essentially he's experienced the light and the dark and he's brought it together in order to become enlightened and that's like a very brief story of the buddha another story is just a modern one is of batman and batman is very grandi ghost which is a term when the king gets too kingy um which we could use the term the word tyrant and batman is there's a comic story of him flying in his nightwing over the city over gotham city and he finds a joker and he's shooting him with all his different guns and his machine guns and every single bullet's missing him and the joker's laughing at him pulls out his gun spins the cartridge puts a bullet in there points at a batman shoots it hits one part that's wrong on the night wing a new the nightwing comes crashing down it's sort of like to you know humble the batman now this story is just saying it's just been told throughout history for like the longest period of time and it also plays a lot into philosophy and psychology and essentially like philosophy is like the precursor to psychology that's what they called psychology like back in the day but they just told it through stories which is why i really like these stories now how does this play out with jake and logan well essentially i've been thinking about this a lot and having conversations and have just come to some really cool realizations which i hope you can take into like yourself personally and essentially they're in the stage where they've been in a like a leadership responsible king type position for so long if we look at their lives they've had and why we could find it quite frustrating is that they've had so much freedom they've had so much financial success they've have so much influence they have so much power like i i would feel and i would assume greatly that a lot of their friends and a lot of people that are closer to them they would employ because why not of course they would um and a lot of like people can't really tell them what to do and essentially after a period of time of the king being on top of the mountain for so long there's that like on top of the palace there's also some other really good stories in myth that show that when the king let's say he's been born in the king position instead of doing the buddha and seeking out um what the slums were and figuring out what bad stuff is and learning about it and and diving into that is a lot of the time the kings will end up if they're in the king position for way too long they'll just burn the whole city down and you hear jordan peterson talk about this a lot and it makes a lot of sense like if you're at the top and there's nothing to challenge you and there's nothing to you know put some danger into your life you just create chaos and burn everything down and essentially i'm actually quite impressed that jake and logan ended up choosing boxing because there has been some video clips of them who when they have been like crying or showing their addiction obviously they're in the media all the time so any of their personal stuff is just going to absolutely be online um for everyone to see which is just is crazy but essentially like i think it's really good that they've turned to boxing because we know what else would they have like they have everything that they want like who else is going to challenge them who else can tell them what to do but when you're in a boxing ring it's just one person or even just a fighter it's just you versing someone else ready to just box on and bash each other in the face like that's it it's just like the best physically and mentally you've got to be so switched on and present for that person that you've got to be back and forth now obviously what makes it so entertaining is that you can see like jake is like he dances on the edge of being like extremely cheeky like he calls people [ __ ] he swears at them he claims all this crazy stuff he pranks people he does like some stuff that's like you know borderline on the laws there's all these like crazy different things but i'm unsure personally if it's that's just for attention hype in terms of like to catalyte i like to to get into the media because at the same time like they do also donate a lot of stuff to charity like him and logan both do a lot of like charity work and all these things for charity as well so it does sort of balance out i'm not sure if it's legit or where they're going but i think it's very important to know that they're on the hero's journey and they're in the trials and the tests into mature manhood now one of the things that's very important to know in terms of like like king theory and being like a like a high level king or a really important leader is that to be to be a really good one you need to have a mature type of situation and environment and in internal is where we need to balance like uh being mature internally with your situation and your environment so you can show up maturely now if you're too much of someone who's in like a mature king position whose turn of a tyrant a very extreme example of someone like that would be like hitler who's someone who's just gone way too far on in because they've got all this power responsibility they believe in this cause and they're just gonna influence all these people to do stuff and it's like holy like they've got a mission and they're out the immature masculine or the immature king is known as the high chair tyrant also known as like the at the high chair turret or the kid that's super demanding uh give me attention give me what i want and it takes a long time for men to develop into a mature king and a lot throughout trials and tests of us in the hero's journey we're going to go through you know troubles and and hurdles and have to slay certain dragons and do certain things in order to develop our own masculinity so that we can become mature and we're immature in the process right and a lot of that time is what i find just so fascinating is like where the link to just prove that so accurate is like jake calls himself the problem child i just sent that link and i was like of course he does because they're still wrapped up in the um immature masculine with a lot of the stuff that they are doing also the immature king and that's not to say that they don't do mature stuff or immature stuff that's just the archetypical words and the frameworks around that and that's just the labels that we use in the different psychology especially in the book king warren magician lover by robert moore you can obviously go in and have a look at that or listen to the podcast that i did on it um so yeah i find that absolutely fascinating and essentially what they have done is when like a theory that i like to uh talk about a lot is that men specifically especially when they're on the hero's journey need danger and they need to utilize it correctly and the danger is a very strong force and that can be used in terms of like a lot of people if they don't have a healthy danger in their life that shows up drugs alcohol porn video games um being lazy distracting self-sabotaging self-destructing and all of these different things along what happens a lot of the time is that you see this is quite serious is if danger isn't cultivated within men there's a lot of time they'll lead themselves to suicide or they'll burn themselves out and lead themselves to like suicide and obviously that's a big topic and i'll talk about that another time but this is very true now what happened which i find is like quite beautiful is obviously logan and jacob had like nothing left right they had nothing they've had everything that they've wanted so unconsciously they are sorting out or looking after someone to drag them out the city they're looking to go into the slums they're looking for a joker to shoot them down as like batman like mythologically unconsciously it's like why'd they get into there into boxing and stuff and why are they fighting why are they challenging all these people they're literally fighting the best fighters in the world which is crazy they are like screaming internally to get humbled i think that like you know especially because they keep choosing bigger opponents bigger and better opponents and they give themselves some sort of sort of advantage obviously jake going up against an mma fighter in boxing is going to have even the playing fields a little bit and he ended up winning like good on him for that i i reckon that he must have worked so hard and really manifested um everything in to to make that happen but his that doesn't change the point that still unconsciously he's looking to get knocked and he wants to get humbled and i'm quite excited to see what happens if he does or if he doesn't so i hope for his sake personally that he does get knocked out soon because he's actually looking for that so i hope to pick someone that's going to knock him out because i think personally if he keeps winning all these boxing fights and he keeps putting under the tests and trials as he'll get bored and then like you know what's next after that oh no like who knows could be self-sabotaging could not he may he may not we never know but in terms of if he does get knocked somewhere in the future by someone um i think that'll be one of the best things ever for him because i think that they'll like they've obviously taken fighting and sprinting with it but i think that they'll take it to another level and obviously they're getting coached by the best people in the world and they're learning all these different techniques and they're just exercising all of their um talent and physical attributes to everything but man i can't wait to see in terms of um yeah mythologically like what happens because it's just so interesting watching people unconsciously like go to put the work in because obviously i think what's really important is a sport like boxing what you put in is directly you're going to get out and yes it is a little bit lucky for other for some people like them who have access and resources to get the best coaches and stuff in the world and and train like their absolute hardest and have all the time to do so as well which i find is like this is why it's just so so entertaining but also can be quite frustrating and i'm um i like the whole journey i like watching all of this different stuff i think it's quite fantastic because i think a lot about this in terms of how they're actually going and i just find it super fantastic so if you have any questions please ask in the comments below like or send me a dm if you're listening to this on um a podcast if you're watching the youtube video just comment below um i'd love to like answer your questions and see your thoughts on this the second point i wanted to make was the brain science point and that is it's very simple it's very easy it's very quick and basically is that once you've had a rush of feelings and emotions and stimulus and like dopamine endorphin serotonin releases from planning something working your ass off building it up getting ready and expecting a certain dopamine release and and unsure what's going to happen and unpredictably or like you're uncertain about what's going to happen and then you go in and you win something huge dopamine release your brain literally gets wired and stimulated on such a crazy level that it sort of gets numb and these guys uh jake and logan have had so much crazy stuff happen to them they've done so many crazy things that they're that they're the senses in their brain need to have something that is so stimulating in order to keep them going the only way to get out of that is to like do a bunch of meditation and to um listening from andrew hubermann podcast would be to not celebrate all of their wins that's for sure just that they can dampen that dopamine effect because it's such a rush but hence why they do things like looking after boxing because that's like the most dangerous sport right i mean i remember googling a while ago i had this thought i was like what is the most skillful sport and i thought it was going to be ice hockey but it turns out that ice hockey was number two so i was really close because skating inline all the different skills and then fighting but boxing's number one because it's the most unpredictable because you like it's all split second decision you're relying heavily on skill and unconscious stuff so how much work you put in definitely comes back out so that's a little bit on the brain science is that because their brains have been have experienced so much crazy stuff they need the rush from this just to like feel fantastic so it's gonna be interesting to see what comes next do they go down the path of darkness do they go down the path of light and i i think personally if logan and jake get knocked really hard that they will go down the path of light if they don't they could they could dance on the edge of danger but i think it's really awesome that they are into boxing because that's also going to force them um to which made my third point which is leadership it's going to force them to be in a position of power and influence which is if they're integral to their word if they show that they can be trustworthy and if they are unbiased towards a lot of thing and not being as controversial not as controversial i do think a little bit of controversialness is healthy and just that's just my personal opinion but if they show that these have these leadership equalities and they keep doing really good things for charity um and if they do keep learning the sport of boxing obviously once they do get knocked and humbled because obviously everyone talks about it like joe rogan and other martial artist people that i talk about like everyone who fights has been except for floyd mayweather but everyone who fights has been either knocked out choked out something's happened and um they've had that experience of like whoa that was crazy let's get back let's get back to it but it forces them to take it a little bit more seriously and they have to do the extra things they have to do with the mindset stuff they have to do the meditation stuff they have to learn mental disciplines do the self-reflection and really sort out their mind not just their body so that they're super clear and focused to get into everything and here's one really little interesting thought that i've also had in terms of what what is making jake and logan like really good fighters is the utter confidence that they have because they're constantly in the media because they're constantly getting judged by people and constantly people are just like slamming them and going off on them and there's hundreds and thousands of youtube videos and hundreds of thousands of you know posts and everything about them it's just absolutely overwhelming is that they're desensitized to everything and they just let confidence flow they don't care about anything else they've been slammed for like their whole lives and they've been brought up and they're just happy to do what they do they're happy to take the piss out of themselves so in front of a crowd in front of a camera they're just like they're at home they're completely at home they're not like other fighters who are like oh my god this is a fight oh this is a big thing for me there's a lot of money riding on this they've got no other pressures like they haven't got money as a pressure they haven't got deals there's a pressure they haven't got any of this other stuff they have they've got everything that they want so when they actually get into a fight i believe that they're going to be a lot calmer and a lot more composed than what other people may be when actually jumping into a flight which is going to give them a little bit of an edge which is sort of like fantastic and i think they've also learned that through like acting skills because they obviously run through and do so much stuff on camera being themselves and acting and stuff that when they get into a ring they can really just act out someone who's extremely confident and they can act that when they're training and they don't have much else to sort of think and worry about which is just oozes confidence which i think is like man it's a blessed position to be in and i think we could all take a little lesson and try to actually do that ourselves but yeah in terms of like leadership goes they're going to be in a position to be really good leaders and that's where people are going to judge them because people are going to project themselves onto other people and be like well if you're mature or not mature it's like well if i was in their position what would i be doing and if they're being really silly or doing something stupid or whatever it is which is fine because they're in the trials and the tests i think of masculine in their mid-20s of course that they're going to be doing stuff like that's just part of them learning and growing as long as it's not hurting too many other people which i don't think that it is but yeah so we protect ourselves and those and be like would we do that would we not and then if we wouldn't or we don't agree with it of what what we know currently then we get put off but if we put ourselves in their position and live the life the exactly the life that they have lived we'd we'd be doing the exact same stuff that they are but yeah so what you kind of see in them that if you find frustrating or don't really like there's just stuff kind of going on with yourself and um yeah i'd like to be in a position myself personally of like uh such influence where you don't have to worry about other stuff so like when when you get on a stage or when you get on something or there's like a big event going on you don't have to worry about anything because you have everything else sorted out i think that's like like actual goal for a lot of people to achieve but at the same time be aware that if you're there for too long something's gonna unconsciously come up and gonna humble you so i hope you learned something from this uh podcast guys and i hope like you know just some questions for you guys is like you know where do you see yourself as a leader where do you need to get your dopamine hits from like are you desensitized are you not are you in a position where you need to be humbled or do you need to chase mature king or do you need to really embody immature king for a while because the only way to get to a mature king is to embody immature high chair tyrant for a little while and to see how that goes and it could be really scary either or so i just like to sort of stimulate your brain as to where why and how you're at and i hope that you realized and understood you know why jake is like he is and why logan is like there is and you know why jake calls himself the problem child and how he actually got into boxing i just find all that stuff just so fascinating how you can look at myth and the stories in it and it tells everything which is just quite fantastic so if you took anything or got any value from this please give us a subscribe that would just mean the absolute world to me and that way you can don't have to miss out on all the good stuff and if you have any questions please just comment below i'd love to get back to them or send me a dm and then what would be extremely extremely special for me is if you could please share this on your story just click somewhere if you like if you got any value from this if you didn't all good but if you've got any value from this click on the little button click share put it onto your story or facebook or whatever it is and just be like this was cool um if there was someone goes out there and says this was cool on something i'm gonna be so impressed so yeah please let me know what you think i'd love to to know please leave it leave a review as well because an apple podcast we're at 155 for health and fitness in australia and we want to get up we want to get in the top 10 we get that number one and you're gonna do that by um you know leaving a review and a share and a like and subscribe and all those things so big love guys thank you so much for listening to this i hope you got a

diesel locomotive but around house work was no longer necessary so in the 50s Brown houses became obsolete and many of them were demolished as time went on besides servicing the mechanical requirements of the Edison the Roundhouse houses the 171 tonne 4-4-2 Atlantic built by American locomotive in 1901 a high-speed passenger locomotive capable of speeds approaching 100 miles per hour three other locomotives are currently undergoing reconstruction and repair the torch lake the only remaining example in the world of an 1873 Mason bogie zero 640 engine and a fait rut Heath company 1927 Plymouth switch engine named after Plymouth Ohio where it was built old number 7 in 1893 Baldwin for 400 American which was Henry Ford's favorite personal locomotive when he owned the Detroit Toledo and Ironton railroad additionally there is a crane which was designed for use in case of the train derailment in the Detroit and Windsor tunnel also on a display outside the roundhouse is a 0 6 0 1914 Baldwin switching engine used by Michigan alkali company near Rogers City which was acquired from the Mackinaw real rate we're on houses were originally built to do low maintenance on locomotives daily inspections and also as a garage so to speak keep the locomotives in while they're not in use many of the rare of the at round houses that were open 24 hours a day and he had machinist and mechanic they would go over the locomotive when they come in after a run for daily maintenance and also the monthly inspections and and quarterly instructions were also done in the Roundhouse usually attached to the Roundhouse would be a larger building which would be the machine shop itself where very heavy repairs would be taken care of a major cause excitement at the new round house was the impending reunion of the torch lake chassis with the drive use this whole casting is although all these cast new steam pipes actually has new axle silently it has taken several years of careful disassembly machining and replacement of parts to get to this big moment everyone's attention is focused on the torch lake as it is slowly towed out of the protective shelter of the Roundhouse onto the turntable with great care this Tank Engine so-called because the engine and tender are one piece is rolled into position to await the arrival of its drive wheels hydraulic jacks are installed at the rear to prevent a possible tip over as the engine is raised a large crane is firmly anchored next to the torch lake and it's heavy cable secured around the boiler to support the considerable weight of the engine the temporary wheels are removed and stored on another siding leaving the engine suspended next the loader returns to the Roundhouse to retrieve the drive wheels the intricate assemblies gingerly moved onto the turntable in broadened position that along the way to be unit of the chassis [Applause] [Music] the crew uses extreme care in inching the wheels into just the right position before lowering the chassis back onto the drive wheels a sigh of relief in words of congratulation were heard as the two components successfully came together after years of planning and hard work the torch Lake is back on its wheels and ready for finally assembly in the comfort of the Roundhouse this locomotive is one-of-a-kind it was built in 1873 by the Mason works in Taunton Massachusetts under the fairly patent it was delivered to the Calumet and Hecla in 1873 what makes this locomotive so unique is that the engine truck swivels underneath the boiler allows it to negotiate tight curvatures an uneven trackage they had six similar to this one this is the lone survivor of those six as far as we know isn't the lone surviving example of any of the Mason built fairly locomotives this should last me the rest of my lifetime if we we operate it and maintain it in a careful manner we shouldn't have to do anything like this for another 30 or 40 years as you complete your ride around the villages private rail line you can now appreciate the function of the Roundhouse and how much planning and hard work goes into keeping the trains running [Music] you | UnitedEarthFund | UC9hlhUgJr8owLUa9jsZRobg | 2017-11-25 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 1,224 | 7,095 |

images soon and I've been part of numpy I'm creating an array here and you can see it right there and the way you've often discovered the size of things before is you'll use the length function right you can use the lengths on lists or dictionaries and you can use them on arrays - it does exactly what you'd expect okay there's three items there um but there's another way we can look at the size of a numpy array and that's with the shape attribute so I can say a a dot shape and I see that that gives me a tuple there's only one one number in that tuple and I mean this is a one dimensional array and along that dimension there's three elements so if I wanted to I could create another array like this I could say B equals that and in now I'm in H I created a two dimensional array I'm a so four or five sects and and well we'll take a look at that and then look at the length of B here you can see that the link is not telling me much what is it doing it's telling me how many rows I have and I have two rows or is in contrast if I look at B dot shape it tells me both of those dimensions it tells me that I have two rows and in also three columns all the length function is ever doing with the matrix is just pulling out that first number from the shape tool all right so you're not going to do this length as often you're maybe doing shape or often now when we were dealing with these numpy arrays well now it turns out there's special all words for these different arrays a one-dimensional array um is called a vector right so let me make a note of this one dimensional is a vector and down here I have two dimensional two dimensional is all the matrix it turns out that I can also create on numpy arrays like this I can say s equals numpy Donna ray in almost every example i've been doing i've been putting brackets here so far but i'm not drawing to him just trace say i'm three now and somebody look at that and if i look at the shape of that what do I get I get an empty tuple right so that's a zero dimensional value and that's called a scalar scaler right so zero dimensions is called a scalar and so I see I have all these different things right so one D vector 2 D matrix 0 D scaler and there's a general word for all of these so if I have some arbitrary number of dimensions I don't know how many oh that is going to be called a tensor right so it turns out that all these things are tensors right my vectors or tensors matrixes our tensor scalars are tensors and and by the end of this I'm going to be showing you an example where we have a 3d tensor okay so so often if you see that word that's what it means it's just kind of a generalization of all these different shaped objects okay now it turns out if we want to we can reshape the objects we have so for example if I look at um let me look at B here I see that right now I have 2 rows and 3 columns if I wanted to I could say B dot reshape and I can say well how many rows are when let's say I want 3 rows and 2 columns and you can see it shuffles all those values around I filling them in right so 1 2 goes here Oh 3 & 4 goes to here and 5 & 6 comes to here all right so often do that we can reshape things I can also change on the number of dimensions I have I wanted to kind of flatten this thing into one dimension I could say that I want that right I want a scaler with six values in it on if I want to I can also on let me go back to this example I just had if I wanted to I could try to just leave this up to Python right well I mean if I put something like this like four right I can't do that right I only have six values how can I get a three by four object right I can only do values that multiply them together add up to sex um now since these must add up to sex if I give you most of the values a numpy can figure out the other ones so the way I'll do that is either say negative 1 and then Python says hey we need 6 values you've said there are three rows negative 1 means figure out hey there's 2 columns and it'll do that automatically okay well let's um the way people often use this is they can quickly create matrices for example on if I say create some ones and let's I want you know any ones like that I could say reshape and and maybe what I'll do is I'll put this into eight rows and ten ten Tolland right so I can quickly get these nice matrices and that way and of course I could have left either of these numbers off if I wanted right if I said if all I know is I want ten columns I'm gonna do it like that okay so what can I do with them with these matrices there's lots of different uses for them well one is that I can use them for me to represent images well let me hmm let me do that maybe instead of this I'm going to create um I'll call this image equals that and instead of ones I'm going to start off with zeros right so I'm gonna say zeros like that let me take a peek at that and you might remember I imported matplotlib type I plot is PLT one of the things we have in PLT is image show and when I use image show I can either put a matrix here on or what I'm going to do by the end of this demo is put a three D tensor right something I can do those and so so what I'm going to do here is I'm going to show this matrix I have write this matrix is two by two matrix I'm going to show what that looks like and I get this kind of solid it's all one color and that's because all these numbers are the same right and I can see it's try this it almost looks like black but it's this weird purple color um but let me just specify that I want to have a color map that's on the it's going to be a grayscale right I'm going to do that but actually just may be great let me see there it is okay so zero in this case is mapping to black oh if I wanted to I could well I want to show you have some variety here um instead of having zeros I'm going to say a range and I want all the numbers from zero to 80 well yes just short of 80 and then I can plot that if I want and you can see a short off we start from the top left corner is the Dark Nest color is zero and then it's maddening 79 on to white in this bottom right right hand Foreman right so I can create images in this way okay let me show you um one last example here let's get some real data let's say I want to get an image from Wikipedia and I have this cool picture here um of this ladybug let me open this up and click on that and I'm a right click on this and copy the image address and once I've copied that URL I'm gonna head over here and I'm gonna download I may say W get that's the image it's a scientific name for it um I'm gonna say - capital all a bug but I see this is a JPEG so I'm gonna keep that the same a JPEG I'm gonna download that if I come over here I can I should be open this up here as well and I can see it I'm very cool and so so what I'm gonna do now is I'm going to try to read it in alright I'm gonna say PLT dot read image actually is an image read I think it's it's backwards right it's um I think it's IM read sorry and I can give it a file name here somebody held that ball JPEG and and that's when I read be right into an array like so and let me take a peek hit that array I see okay I have all this stuff here let me look at the at the shape of this array well what's drawing on here I can see I have a three-dimensional array and of course going back to that picture I mean it's just a it's a two-dimensional picture right so what's going on here well this first bit is the Rose right so this is how many rows I have and then this is how many columns this is the height and the width and then what is this three it turns out that each pixel of color here is a combination of red green and blue light right and that's why I need these three dimensions um like so okay so let me let me just take a look at this quick I'm gonna see if I can visualize its when I say ELT dot image show and I want to show that array and ensure enough there it is right and you can actually see along the x-axis right that I have 25 21 that's those columns I have missed so many rows I have alright so I have this three dimensional structure now what's going to be weird about this I look at it now on what's going on here so I have rows first but when I'm looking into this whole structure um what that means is that this is one row of data there's another roll of data and and what's going to be confusing is that is that the next piece is columns and and so what that means is that within this row this whole piece here is a column okay and then within that column I'm sorry is that right this whole piece here is a column within a row right that whole piece selected is one one cell on a table right it's in the first column of the first row and then these three numbers in here you might feel like their columns with they're not those are layers right so you should think of this layer on top of this layer on top of this layer in kind of this weird three-dimensional rectangle and so what this means is that I can slice this in different ways um so there I have my basic image oh let me let me try to slice this well now that we're slicing in these three dimensions we really get three slices right so we get a slice one I'm a slice two and slice three and and so let me just reiterate this this is my row slice this is my column slice and this is my layer slice um when we're talking about images right these three layers correspond to different colors and those will often be called on channels right so nice to have an image specific terminology and so what I could do is I could say something like hey I want all the all the colors and let's say I want all the columns um but let's say I want to crop this image oh let's say that instead of going to 2,500 I want to go to 2,000 what I could do here is I could say well I need to put this slicer I just want to go with the 2000 but Excel and and then I get this new thing and then I can if I want to show that right I can slice that image image like so and I have an expert either I am and you can see okay I was able to slice that image just fine okay so one last detail here then I want to go over is what if I try and pull out just one of these layers right so I can do that I'm gonna do it like this paste this so in this case I want to have all the pixels right I want all the rows and all the columns oh but let me just grab one of these later so I'm not even I put a slice here I just want to individual layer um it turns out that 0 maps to read 1 maps to blue and 2 maps to green all right so I'm just pulling out all the red colors here all right I might do that and it kind of looks weird right because when when I have what I have the 3d tensor I'm the red green blue it's showing it in color here I'm only giving it a two-dimensional structure maybe I can just prove that to you quick right if I look at the shape of that thing it's a two dimensional structure so it's on this one color spectrum right so I should probably actually say what the color is driving into that's great how did I I thought I had done this before didn't I oh it's lowercase gray all right okay so gray right and I can see it really pops out where the where the red color is whereas if I do something like this it's actually a very dark portion right the Michelle alright it doesn't have much blue there it probably doesn't have much green either right but I am looking at the red colors then that's where there's a lot of color on the beetle right because the beetle is is red okay so I may be letting you play with this a little bit more and so go go do those exercises | Tyler Caraza-Harter | UCBnAH0kpEfn71UGqp7t-OHw | 2020-03-27 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 2,512 | 11,889 |
JVd4PVX_tao | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVd4PVX_tao | Antimatter Dimensions Reality Update Episode 6: HAVE I LOST MY BRAIN?! | hi super Spruce here back with another anterior Dimensions reality upset video episode six and you can see it's been a while since last episode kind of got it just going for a while I can get five time theorems here from answering infinity points and this is just one away from six it should be really really useful because then I could get this which is seems quite powerful I'm so close with the infinity points here I really wish there was like just a little push I could give it to give me that but I think I just got a eternity unfortunately but whatever we're getting 870 attorney points shouldn't be that bad and we can get the time study right now so this is gonna it's gonna be pretty powerful I think so yeah you can see E I should just maybe I should just push attorney points here because you can see I can get 500 should maybe even get faster if I like I've tried to make it so that so make it so that the this doesn't maybe every E40 instead of E20 so I'm gonna turn off this eternity animation it's annoying seems like it's giving me about the same attorney points per minute maybe a little bit higher so maybe I should do 1830 maybe that's the sweet spot here and now I can actually go to Dimensions timing Dimensions I can get the fourth time Dimension which I think is pretty useful here it's gonna give me more tick speed upgrades and then eternity upgrades I already got the first two the next one is five E4 except there's also the multiply eternity points sources for by or multiply by multiply eternity points from all sources by five times that seems pretty good so I'm going to go for that and then maybe go for more time theorems I mean there's not really much else I can do with the time theorems or much else other than time theorems because I mean there's The Eternity Point multipliers there is I can't really go for achievements I can't really do anything here can't really do anything here there is attorney Milestones that it could go for like this and this I'm not sure how useful those are I go to if I if I go to my statistics and I just go to regular statistics think how much I don't even get 144 attorneys not 150 attorneys I I do have some banked Infinities but it isn't that many well actually the five times the Turning Point multiplier isn't going to allow me to get few more time theorems quickly and maybe we can also see just how powerful the this study is actually doing I don't think it's that powerful unfortunately so what I could do is try to go for a longer run just to see where it's gonna get me I'm getting a replica Galaxy every 4.336 seconds it's gonna go down even more as I get more infinity points now you can see with E7 80 infinity points I can get a replicated Galaxy every one second approximately and and now I have all the replicated galaxies I can get and I'm really not being I'm not able to push any farther so I'm kind of stuck in the nasty early eternity grind which is a shame I really want to get this study it's only five times years instead of six and it looks much more powerful than what I had before but unfortunately it does cost me quite a lot of just everything and I think the easiest route is to grind eternity points so that's what I'm gonna do I'm gonna I'm gonna see where I peek my journey points per minute and then try to just set up an automatic eternity so it looks like about 650 Maybe yeah let's do let's do 650. and then let's turn on the auto buyer so actually this isn't going to be too bad I can I can already get up to 32. I just need one more time theorem after this and also I can spend eternity points on time Dimensions I almost forgot about that because these upgrades are only they're not very powerful they only do it they only like boost this multiplier by four times I'm gonna get everything under a thousand though because I still think that's pretty useful it's like four times four times is like a five or so tick speed upgrades so I guess that'll do something it'll be significant so I'm going to wait for one more attorney because of this turn the upgrade that gives me an Infinity Dimension multiplier just like this time study and then wait I need one more time theorem crap I don't know why maybe I could just get this instead this actually might be more powerful anyway so we're gonna do that instead and now I'm gonna try to see what happens if I go on a slightly longer run to see if I can get any more time theorems oops I just clicked the wrong text box here yeah keep that ticked turn that off that's a little bit confusing but I should get used to it this is interesting now it says instead of taking a certain amount of seconds per rip I'll get a Galaxy it says I'm getting one replicated galaxies per second or 1.1 per second so you can see this is actually helping things a bit but it's gonna take a while to get serious time theorems and Eternity Point grinding I still probably the better strategy even at this point so I'm going to turn the auto buyer back on and just grind it to her new points for a while and then we'll see where I end up after that so yeah see in a bit okay I'm back and you can see I have about 50 000 attorney points it's not that much more than what I had before but it's still enough for a couple more time theorems and I'm gonna go with a different strategy because I think Infinity Dimension idle doesn't really work well together for time Dimension Idol works much better so I'm going to disable the maternity Point actually before I do that I could get this I could also get this which actually seems very powerful maybe it's just get this instead this this is like E12 maybe I just want that especially considering the fact I have another attorney Point multiplier and then maybe after that I will respect my time seti tree and try to go for the long run of time dimensions okay here we go I can get this multiplier and I think it's gonna be significantly faster to gain maybe not a turn okay maybe yeah attorney points do seem faster it seems like Optimal is almost at 100 000 eternity points now plus I'm going to get a bunch of time Dimensions here I can get this this this I can even get one more here and I could get another time theorem I'm not sure if that's useful because I calculated this is 5 11 14 17 I have 33. so this would be 27 33. so the next useful one would be if I had 35 so I kind of want to get at least enough attorney points to get two to get two more times the arms here's one and the other will be right here so now I will respect I'll just do a fast turn knee even as far as fast as this runs so that this is much higher if I ever want to go for that and we're gonna do this I'm gonna go time Dimensions get the first three and then did I really miscalculate yes I did miscalculate it's actually 34 time theorems and I miscalculated again sometimes I am just super dumb with my math I don't I don't understand it but actually I can get all the way up to nine E9 or 83 infinity points so maybe it doesn't matter anyway let's build is actually helping even though I'm not really in full I don't know yet I now get a Time theorem with infinity points and a Time theorem with antonym which means I can actually get this as well which allows me to push even farther and get 15 replicated galaxies in total and attorney point isn't really going to be very good but I can probably push to even like another time theorem maybe I can try to even get this which I think is pretty good it's equal to replicated Galaxy amount I can get 15 no 16 of those so that's pretty good here's e1100 infinity points unfortunately this singular time theorem isn't really going to help very much however maybe I can do this and actually now I have to respect first so I get this get this time theorem and instead of going with this study go all the way down the time dimension one or miscalculate once again because I am stupid uh seriously I don't know if I lost my brain today maybe I have well anyway it's not it's not that big of a deal I can just keep getting stuff like this I I'm even gonna get these let me get these two it's not that expensive well anyway finally I can get this last time theorem and yeah this upgrade and hopefully this is gonna be during the long run I'm not I think I'm just going for time theorems here I could grind eternity points but that's boring it's more interesting to do this it's not really going to give any immediate results because time time Dimensions really help more when I leave it going for a long time so I can gain more Tech speed upgrades out of it and some of these actually no this is mostly this is not based on time but like eventually I'm gonna want to get you know down the idle path here and I will be gaining time theorems and Eternity points hopefully that that's the goal because I know in the vanilla game this part of the game isn't exactly the fastest and there's a really big slump that about e16 and no not Infinity eternity points and and you don't really get out of that slump until like around e25 or just gets faster and faster and faster and eventually you get study 181 which is you know the overpowered one and it keeps getting faster and faster and then you break through eternity Jones 10 and go through um what's considered the fastest part of antimatter Dimensions so yeah but we're still a very long way away from there and even longer from reality which is crazy it's taking so long to get back to reality so yeah hope you enjoyed peace out [Music] | SuperSpruce | UCrpbLYZYpwpkrW9j9x8Ci2A | 2022-12-29 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 1,851 | 9,486 |
JDWNBL4_zDc | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDWNBL4_zDc | Requisition VR Is Now The BEST Zombies VR Game... | hey what's up guys it's Draco and today we're going to be playing requisition VR which comes out later this month but luckily Arcadia sent me over a key to play the game early so shout out to them they didn't pay me to say anything they just gave me a key so shout out to Arcadia I am doing this intro after I played it and I did have a ton of fun so stick around for the full video and let's hop right into it reach down to your left holster and grab an item plunger okay wow yeah I love VR this is a [ __ ] Toaster What am I playing huh how does that make sense okay this is brilliant this is this is genius I love this game already well I mean I guess before you go and take a bath with your toaster you might want to plunge the bathtub real quick and then then you stick in the toaster it's actually quite practical oh this is sweet okay this is [ __ ] awesome this is Dead Rising 3 but in the yard all right so this is what I'm gonna look like as you can see very kinky the TV just does it all I love the TV or microwave whatever the hell my head is in I however do have a video feed from your body cam oh she's got a body cam on me pervert where even is it I'm not wearing any clothes other than my booty shorts one pizza and a beer the inhabitant clearly was oh [ __ ] oh hey there oddly satisfying all right buddy comically large frying pan hey pervert die oh this does like no damage oh but it popped his head clean off go check it out comically large monkey wrench now let's do a monkey wrench frying pan this is this is genius I love this duct tape holds on pretty well pretty well all right zombies coming for you I'm gonna vandalize this home too stupid mobsters you're dead that worked out pretty well not gonna lie got some ketchup on my fingers though I hear someone back here whoa that's a big [ __ ] you scared the bejesus out of me get away all right time to die no my monkey wrench it broke I'll stay back here oh he died stick mine nice okay he's dead oh that was a big [ __ ] holy hell okay I'm incredibly strong yeah uh he's a fast one die okay I got him what is going on oh that's really odd that there's a TV remote in here but no TV Psychopaths no wonder their house is infested with the zombies who does this work oh yep don't buy this game you know what I got it for free but I'm refunding it I think I've learned enough of this game already I want to try this with some friends I don't have actual friends so we're just gonna play with the randoms and now that I think of it this is technically not out yet so I'm curious if I'm even gonna be able to find anyone online when Mom gets pissed off at me and destroys the Xbox just destroy the TV no more Xbox for you [ __ ] all right so I opened up a multiplayer game where anyone can join at any moment so hopefully that is the case is it locked why is my own lockers on my own bus locked okay that's stupid all right [ __ ] you punked hmm oh Bonk come at me a big [ __ ] oh that's satisfying as hell oh miss me [ __ ] oh don't I don't like big men standing behind me I actually almost fell off her take that I call this the windmill hello Jesse in here oh God do I have bullets I think Jesse was waiting for Walter to come back and he had this nice little romantic scene set up what the hell is this wax no hey yo Mr White what if we lubed ourselves up with some wax and then kissed each other all over the crystal palace's floor I found some ammo by the way how do I use it will that do anything tickle tickle tickle tickle there we go it's got to pick it up first God everything just went on the floor all right that took an abnormally long time to load but I'm ready God playing with guns and VR is so much fun it's time to meet your maker you son of a [ __ ] [Applause] come on smile for me give me a thumbnail face would you thumbnail face yeah getting the sun over here we need better light him uh that was cool why are you still making noise shut the hell up oh blew his head right off guys so much fun all right any more you [ __ ] in here oh [ __ ] you Christ opher scared me in front of my 600 subscribers stop making noise oh my god let's turn him into a paste rich and clear oh I saw you idiot oh God I think I missed all right windmill time it's a weight scale what is all this an explosive oh I can make a bomb where's my second Hammer all right get windmilled ah it's so effective come at me yeah you don't want to [ __ ] with the windmill [ __ ] windmill all right so I found the air compressor I want to make a bomb that sounds like fun angle grinder a jar of freaking pickles have this near your mouth or eater okay haha all right now this now this is just suss are you pranking me am I getting pranked oh am I eating it oh I'm eating it okay wow you really gotta put that in your mouth or so all right the can can be a bomb somehow this paint can be whatever the hell that is all right make me about me a bomb oh oh oh oh oh here it is this didn't even do that much damage what the hell that pissed me off so do I throw it is that the idea and I actually just ran into a wall with a classic explosive in my hand that's stupid all right give me some [ __ ] gotta love me some [ __ ] you know me pour it in oh that's what it wants me to do okay probably shouldn't breathe that all right let's make ourselves a brand new bomb bam all right this time I'm not gonna [ __ ] it up I swear all right I think there's got to be some zombies in here right or I could just blow up the entire gas station that'd be cool can I break oh hello there oh you're coming out perfect some orange juice nice all right stick it in my mouth you wouldn't believe how far I'm actually sticking this in my mouth or maybe you could I don't know Sledgehammer nice if I wasn't already sweaty enough basketball oh and it's bouncy too nice oh no no no no no no please my ball no I accidentally threw it out of bounds oh this isn't a weapon Hammer this is my crafting Hammer so it doesn't do any damage oh no that's quite a bit actually works as a second do a throwing Hammer that is and then it comes right back to you it's like a tomahawk there we go now we should have everything time for the ultimate trap place an object in a socket please what there's so much work oh okay is that is it working oh [ __ ] I messed it up hear more zombies in here but I don't know where my trap went why am I so useless there's gonna be so Tom and Jerry oh I would have made me so happy there have been so much serotonin oh you have no idea you have no idea what are these tampons flour nah we don't need those we don't want to make bread we don't like bread back from where I'm from we could picture so many like sick and hungry children back at the Village or wherever I come from just really really really really really wanting some bread button uh affect them kids they're not out here working hard like me I have something in here for you mister there it is my ax really upset about that trap not working out I feel like an idiot for that oh nail gun nice oh a baseball bat I'm gonna take this air compressor back and I'm genuinely curious wait open the car hood maybe there's a Jesus Christ okay I was just about to ask where the hell I thought the battery may or may not have been come on open my my hands are my fingers are all broken come on oh open the car hood I thought for some reason I read hit the car hood I honk the horn enough I can slap the dash would make sense it could be a fun Breaking Bad reference if it was in the hood of this car because remember when remember when they get stuck in the desert and they have to make a battery and there's the whole ah wire scene yeah yeah you know what I'm talking about yeah I've seen breaking bad why ask battery yes okay we found the [ __ ] battery thank Christ [ __ ] up I mean I charge that bad boy oh no oh [ __ ] okay okay I'm ready for this I'm ready for this I really like how you have so many options what weapons you could use why you still make oh you're the one make a noise hey get back in your yard piss off what the hell is wrong with this head ew ew they're coming from every angle I think I'll have a better chance defending from the bus it's really too bad I can't just close the doors you know stay back I'm just way up windmill windmill come on how did the bus drivers close the door get away what's gonna happen to him now stay back this thing's really long waving it really fast there we go this is working it's working it's working windmill activated he's dead no he's not dead biting at my ankles a little Chihuahua okay I survived all right but luckily the battery's all charged up I just need to find something a canister to put the gas in which I'm still having a lot of trouble finding surely there's got to be a canister around here is that a [ __ ] katana laughs try shouting bangkai for more damage okay I can definitely try that out and I need to find a bunch of rubber are you kidding me well I didn't have to start it oh okay all right but now it's time to use the new Katana all right I'm about to bond Kai on all these [ __ ] real quick oh it actually gets stuck in him that's sweet ah yes Bankai so cool that's incredibly satisfying cutting off their arms all right see if I can't cut off one of their legs these are coming towards me so I can make fun of them for having no legs haha you have one leg idiot haha not so do you idiot look at you crawling around now get your head chopped off oh that's so satisfying It Feels So responsive come here buddy haha oh no you got one arm oh no you got no arms idiot you can find you pull out your misery all right trap you guys down all right is that it and you know what I probably missed a few things to complete this Mission completely but I think this is where we're gonna call it for now because I am incredibly sweaty and I have a pounding headache uh as you can see yes I am extremely sweaty right now sorry Arcadia you made a good game here this is a great game here dropping a like in a comment down below if your

N1KcTaXJW8c | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1KcTaXJW8c | Post-session reflection (Guidance to Educators) | welcome all please feel free to share this with colleagues if you think they'll find it of interest let's talk today about how you handle a session that doesn't go so well any problems that crop up can be quite demoralizing sometimes you walk out of a session thinking either i dropped the ball or the students didn't respond something just didn't work in any given session now not every session is going to go well it could be something you have failed to plan for it may be that you misjudged the receptivity of the students it may be that they just were very resistant to what it was you're asking them to engage with in the session and how you manage that system dynamic is obviously very problematic so after any session educators really need to sit back and reflect if even if it just takes a few minutes even if they're just doing it in their heads they need to be thinking what went well what didn't go so well if it doesn't go well there's a particular problem in any given session it's a really good idea to journal it write something down even just a few notes on the back of your notes are fine but to write something down as soon as possible after the session to discuss it with colleagues just to literally go back to the whatever the virtual coffee room is or the staff room and talk to your colleagues about why something didn't go well and be open about that you won't be judged for it if you're honest about it and thirdly to to reflect and how deeply you reflect will depend a little bit on whether it was a serious issue or a relatively minor issue you maybe want to think about from a positive perspective about what you would do differently if you had it again and if you were faced with those similar circumstances in the future how you might plan to do it differently so it's really important that you do reflect at some level either using notes conversation or indeed just thinking about it i always try and make some notes after a session particularly if it hasn't gone well but even if it's gone well i might want to make a note as to why i think it might have gone well i think it's really important and i would encourage you to do that so do try something like that try something similar let me know how it goes be well | Dr Simon Paul Atkinson - sijen | UC6_F4EnvIfNfqgJ8wT3PbXA | 2022-04-27 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 429 | 2,248 |
