bobblehead new level creation tool and playing game from butterscotch Studios and if you never heard of the be Scotch folks before definitely check out some of their games they are very good at their craft and they don't shortchange the mobile department by any stretch level heads actually on a bunch of devices including Apple Android it's on Steam it's on switch it's on Xbox so you can pretty much play it anywhere this is a premium game but level head is definitely worth its price and you'll get a lot of value out of it if you are into either playing people's various levels or creating yourself so we'll start by choosing our account name and as much as I would love to be the all mushy mark top we'll stick with what I know and that's my usual alias [Music] all right that looks good yes we want to confirm that name adheres to the code of conduct ooh avatars to settle let's select something that is he seemed kind of cute so do I like confusion not allowed it looks like you can get others on the way let's stick with not amused I need to choose from in a coffee at gr-18 after my own heart welcome new employee to the Bureau of shipping the Bureau of shipping is the galaxy's premier package delivery corporation for hundreds of years our customers have trusted us to deliver their goods real Fleury how good now you get to be part of that delivery magic our newest innovation is the derm dispatch via intergalactic railgun now who simply loads the package into the dirt and fire it straight into the customers doorstep at the speed of light still faster than frozen may destroy the customers home that's not good for business to make use of the derp and protect our bottom line we created gr-18 the most advanced delivery robot ever now we dip both the package and gr-18 a safe distance from the customer's home gr-18 the locates the package and finishes the delivery to the customers door unfortunately fresh out of the factory a gr-18 is like a dumb robot baby or like anything until it's properly trained this is where you come in a new employee to the level head division you are responsible for training your gr-18 moustache to successfully deliver packages on time every time no matter the circumstance Oh now if you'll reach under your seat you'll find a brand new GRA tea full started to begin the boot up sequence I think my TR 18 is broken gr 18 bonds for life to its owner when turned on look into its eyes I don't know if I'm ready for this level of commitment is now to complete every level in the Bureau of shipping straining program build and share your own levels and rise to the top ranks of the level head division now get out there and do good for our Goods well now that my ears have started to bleed let's get into a level here and try some things out I am playing this on the controller and it does have full controller support so don't have to be too worried if you're not feeling comfortable with the on screen controls good as well but considering that this is a platformer type game I'd rather have the controller okay Check Point dance in this little groove and I died but I'm probably never gonna die again it's just how good I am at games like this that I never play whoops okay you wanted me to run and jump now have to spell it out for me I'm not gonna figure these things out without these helpful hints oh okay a little appendage I can chuck my little boxy friend wherever I am pointing the directional pad God kind of cool you just sort of hangs it on my back let's just continue on Oh switch my box back need it okay well that works things out it is only the first level so we'll take some time to sort of get things under control here through the door there checkpoint and tell me that I can check the box Oh sneaky sneaky that's that you weren't next to that bottomless pit oh I could I could lose my boxy friend but it'll just come right back but not the enemy like this little appendage you into the fire and because I have the Box I can open the door into the next okay so you can stand on the box and it'll protect you from stuff and I can actually all right I can grab it through the spikes so I can't stand on the spikes but I can shove my robotic arm through them I'm sure that makes all the sense I want that whatever would be coin ha ha got it let's hope let me get my box back so there you are with a pit of fire at our back I will Chuck my boxy friend at you that's nice go into this thing I go into and that's the in level all right I like that the end is sort of like that Mario flagpole where you know the higher up you are the more points I guess you get a little path here and we'll go on to the next level okay let's see how much trouble we can get into here as part of our training regiment again take a passive aggressive approach to defeating enemies by not defeating enemies there we go always good like that right you're not gonna get all the diamonds this time but that's fine to do without except that me I want it I wanted it checkpoints I'm sure nothing sinister will come up these guys over here I know I got a jump on the enemies get through this and I feel alright well this is turning out good let's let's speed things up a little bit here because I'm feeling that this is gonna take a you know jump on that guy can jump on enemies to jump higher and get into platforms to get bitten goodies and whatnot but yes go back to the checkpoint damn so I got to do this one more time I guess going back normal speeds so I guess I make it let's continue on a light switch all right that's good so monies we like monies we can collect them let's not mess around let's just get to the end there we go that package got delivered Oh time to build will allow you to enter and make use of the workshop the workshop allows you to create a level or limited exercise for evaluating employee limits awesome Akron these levels created by you and your fellow employees or what we need to train gr-18 for every possible delivery challenge the levels you create or ejected from the Bureau of shipping HQ but don't worry about making too many we're in space in space like our profit is always expanding for you to the marketing department to advertise it to other level heads if your level gets enough blaze that will graduate to the tower a searchable database of all levels that have met our rigorous standards now get out there and do good for our goods so at this point it will the game will let you sort of try out the level building aspect this game has and if you've ever played I guess Mario maker or any of those other type of level creation games it sort of will give you the basic building blocks of what you do to build your own levels so we'll quickly shoot through this gives you kind of a simple template to start things off it goes through some of the basic and you can put blocks here and and all sorts of other stuff so we'll just get started here they do say like I mean they always want to try and have you play through your level just to sort of see if things are going quite right so that's sort of fit like you you're a package or a boxy friend and the end goal so hey look I built a stage not really so hey I'll try doing some stuff around to make a little bit more interesting [Music] we built ourselves another platform my levels coming alive well yes I can undead some hazards in there that's what all the spikes okay so now we have ourselves a little spiky platform yep it works but again no real challenge just sort of me my box another platform with spikes and like an angle so let's put in an enemy and yeah you can sort of stack objects to make things bigger you know that's always cool you can always sort of build upon stuff [Music] don't make things too tough or else you may not get through them all and then yeah you can put in some monies defeat the enemy and get some monies you don't have to defeat the enemy to make it to the finish line sometimes it helps being based [Music] and some copy and paste features a multi-select take this platform and real [Music] even copy are selected bits and then make ourselves another quick platform right there there we go easy peasy can you switches [Music] I placed a long fluffy long switch and it also teach you about sending and receiving channels in order to activate certain objects when conditions are met okay and then it starts to give you tips about creating checkpoints using these buddy robots you've always liked their groove so yeah let's stick one end into [Music] yep you can always always press the left bumper to reset yourself to the last checkpoint in case anything goes awry in the level like getting killed by an enemy we'll just reset you immediately actually maybe I made a too strong opponent I only defeated him yeah but I was just goofing around with the tools here I wasn't really sure what to make actually was playing with the building tools a little bit after I had completed taping this episode so maybe I'll make a little addendum and showcase that off I've never actually played the Mario maker game so it was sort of my own first level in this type of genre quite pleased with that - still learning to build with the channels and options and all the other stuff that it gives so you got this little receiving I [Music] it sees you it will turn on the gem having it above the spike seems a little bit silly since that's quite unsafe so do something here let's make let's make the gems visible still playing around here there's our switch okay and we use our copy and paste tool so that we can just take one gem that is under that certain condition and just replicate it all over so again making things simple for creators to also get rid of our tough enemy at the end here and make it a little bit more manageable maybe one of those is one of those guys okay and then we'll just feel it fill out our gem field if this is shy you know by an enemy as long as I'm with in the certain field that the sensor detects me in the gems will appear nice just some of the tricks that the game sort of teaches you in the beginning here it certainly gives ideas to veteran level builders on what they can do in order to sort of flush out their level more than just this tutorial will give you ourselves yet another platform using a different tile block he's nice [Music] you sure what I want to do with this platform yet but at least I have it okay little edges here and I think you can actually go through them as opposed to the actual like platform blocks and I remember saying that in the levels as well just before like previous levels you were able to sort of go down those ledges and then it gives you some background stuff flesh out your level that way with some added bits make this sort of like a little cavernous area with our package and buddy friend did you know the mole such an artiste bucket sure will that do oh I guess it will explode a bunch of background titles or whatever you have sort of selected looks good to me it also tells you that you can use the cheese play button to sort of start yourself off on different parts of the level in case you need to try out certain areas quite handy and then lastly get into the level details can name your level or give it a graphic [Music] choose a name actually look like you can actually type out a name yourself and let me know if I'm wrong yeah it just looks like you can create a level name by using these sort of prearranged templates using nouns and adverbs and miscellaneous and Nations so let's just sort of pick whatever channel ritual that bong yep perfect pick your zone pick your music see whether you want weather effects on or off okay and one final run I think you have to sort of succeed in your level in order to actually publish it for realsies there you go I have completed channel channel ritual that bomb so I am given the option to ship it once I make some tags of course so make your levels sort of what you want it to be for your selected audience whether you want to make it easy peasy in short or very hard is complete [Music] off into the ether the boring level that it is once that's all complete you get to go into the marketplace like I described before and you can attempt to guess market your video your level your video that's another thing I'm trying to do here but we'll stick with the level makin game first so it teaches you all the sort of stuff that's sort of here there's my level and then if you're coming into this game to create yourself a bunch of levels to have other players play it then you can use the marketing tools here in order to expand your audience find the right kind of people to get your levels now we hit the tower and I think this is sort of like it will just sort of put a bunch of random levels together from sort of like easy and then sort of increasing in difficulty [Music] or it looks like you can filter out some levels will see if they've given will hit the tower trial button here and see what happens we'll be all good just ten random levels I'll just shoot you through them one by one no surprises item blocks we need to do here too boxy friends things it end of the door wait there so you see a switch up on the left-hand side there you got not experience this power up so maybe a little get confused as to what is going on here I am able to get through one of the barriers using the package the doors open sort of leaving my package behind that way I want least I got a save point so okay that's when they disappear wait a minute okay this isn't gonna work I realize I may have done something a little bit silly so let's go back package let's try and rectify okay so I think I think this nondescript package box we'll have to go into place of rare it's sitting on top of the switch we're gonna get ourselves the wolf save point and test it out by dying that's always fun I said it's always fun and unfortunately I spend a little bit too much time farting around in this starting section so you'll speed it up a little bit one more time here just so you don't have to see the agony add that I had to go through for the next ten minutes or so so you get back to the end of this level once I get through this seemingly simple yet complex puzzle [Music] finally that one box into that corner and then I can go back to where it was before now I can probably get through this door die first [Music] okay I might actually make it to the end of level the fact that I can't get through that section what's going on switch got it right through the clouds there's the end goal simple now they're finally finished off this player rated level which you'll get in is some sort of randomizer for doing the tower it seems simple enough just at random and you have options at the ends you can favorite it you can save it to play again later and you can follow the Creator for any other levels that they may create in the future [Music] there's me zero followers so I definitely picked the right icon for my reaction to that but you can get your most followed creators and let's jump out and we'll actually do a couple more of the butterscotch created two levels for level head all the wraps after that proxy friend is being bouncy now I'm being bouncy got some more clouds here so at least we know what's up with them there are power-ups some some collectibles you just have to jump over the fighter right yep ooh springy springy goodness end-of-level and I missed it but it's not too hard to get back there we go dense fog ridge is that what you're calling the little puffy white clouds oh one more one more for good measure wants me to pick up the spring I can pick up Springs sounds delightful there we go don't want the spikes over asking me that I need to reach my package okay I think I get it that's why I can carry the spring closer get the spring closer there we go there we got our boxy friend get diamonds we can hit some spikes you know all the good stuff that the level head game has to offer I having it so difficult to get down below one level here there we go okay so it's going to teach you you cannot reach the platform you can use the package to reach it but obviously you can't leave your package left behind you can jump and then grab the package while in midair interesting mechanic sure I can pull it off got it the package I use the package to get some diamonds so I don't have to put myself at risk good to know your spring ring can go there get my box you friend back can't get to that buddy reach it that'll work little fan area a fan of a fan oh goodness were you enough of that amending the level you could say that it's your couch delivered real good that's a sexy slogan so yeah level head looks to be a very good platformer and level creator and paired with the unique style that butterscotch named Ken's rings can only be a recipe for greatness or disaster can't tell one or the other but I'm sure he'll be a fun ride either way if you enjoyed this video quick play of Louisville head then derp that like button right away to my doorstep leave me a comment and let me know if you're a level creator or a level player and subscribe to my channel for more mobile gaming goodness because you'll never know what I may be picking up next this has been Shin virtuality game on have fun and I'll catch you guys again in the next one thanks for watching	ShinVirtuality	UCG898whwuKy5OMtV0T-p2gQ	2020-05-09	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	3,397	17,464
CW5sBGJU2Ic	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW5sBGJU2Ic	AIR FORCE STORY, THE -- ROAD TO ROME, SEPTEMBER 1943-JUNE 1944	thank you 1943 Italy the Allies had won a toll hold on Europe after bloody Salerno Prime objective was fosia an array of Nazi Italian airfields strategically close to the heart of Germany early the next year General spots came to fogia to inspect us Nate twining's new outfit the fitted Air Force General Aker was taking over command of the Mediterranean theater the brass met to plan air support the Keystone for Allied armies on the road to Rome winter rains made Sunny Italy a sea of mud taking 61 days to travel eight miles The Fifth Army inched its way up the boot their order was pushed North through the German lines and liberate Rome every day it owe 600 the 12th Air Force reported for tactical missions fighting the same winter weather we were handed the Grim job of blasting a hole through the Gustav line we fighter pilots with a sword point of the new Mediterranean Allied Air Forces forged in Africa tempered in pantalaria and blooded in Sicily the 12th was now put to the big test Italy no soft underbelly was defended by at least 24 top German divisions we had 11. to balance the opposing forces we mounted daily strikes to protect our tanks to clear a path for our Infantry although weather terrain and Nazis had finally stopped our armies they never stopped us there was no mud in the sky Allied their power and Allied ground power had been welded into an effective team to defeat the enemy's greater forces our Plan called for steady ground pressure to be synchronized with strong airstrikes American Airmen were taking off to buzz the Appian Way the ancient Highway Trot by Caesar's triumphant Legions of old it was our job to open the rugged road to Road blocking the way were minefields occupied Villages protected by Nazi eardrums and Nazi tanks air support wasn't easy on the mainland the enemy had all his resources at hand here was a network of rails and Roads that had to be cut before our own troops stymied on the narrow mountainous Peninsula could move even Army mules have difficulty climbing Italy's Rocky backbone Allied Forces which now included some Italians measured our advances in mountaintops instead of miles San Pietro liked dozens of other German Hill towns was caught in a tight net of artillery fire at times our men felt they were on the long end of a forgotten front but in spite of terrain weather and dug in Nazis The Fifth Army kept up the pressure from Village to Village from Mountain to Mountain it was the same better action attacks and advances they approached Casino gateway to Rome this was one of those bitter moments born by War hyatop Monastery Hill in the Abbey of Mahi Casino the Godless Nazis had installed an observation post and from there followed the movements of Allied soldiers below relying on the reluctance of the Allies to damage the Abbey the Germans dominated the Leary Valley from the Sacred Citadel itself they tried to destroy the forces of Freedom by directing concentrations of accurate and murderous fire foreign artillery hammered back stalemated by the enemy's unique position the road to Rome was blocked after weeks of Investigation including personal reconnaissance over Monica Sino by General zaker Endeavors the Allies decided we would bomb and shell the Nazi held town in Abbey for tactical reasons acre was opposed to the bombing instead he favored using air to strangle enemy Supply but Allied Leaders felt the continued sacrifice of our own men must stop everything else having failed the Allies ordered air power to neutralize the Nazi observation post worried Germans heard the first wave thrown overhead rabbits the enemy darted into surrounding caves and tunnels carved into Solid Rock long prepared their Gustav Lion pivoted on fortified Casino the town as well as the Abbey which the Germans had made a military targets but the enemy survived the bombing fanatic they still had the will to fight up from their tunnels their bunkers pop into the ruins their tough paratroopers quickly regrouped in minutes they re-established their strong points the Germans were back in business now Rubble as well as Nazis blocked away finally convinced everyone that the only way we could crack the Gustav line was to choke up the enemy's flow of supplies south of Rome the operation was aptly named strangle in March those of us flying for the 12th and 15th Air Forces began to deliver a series of flows against Real yards tracks trains and bridges especially Bridges in Italy there were more than 40 000 Bridges foreign strangle was successful from the start we hunted enemy trains and cut their lines in more than a hundred places when the trains stopped we hunted trucks and ships we strangled enemy Supply on May 11th we opened a new air and ground drive a big one we had the enemy on the Run three days later our fifth Army cracked the goose stop line it had taken seven weeks to cut his main arteries and let enemies Supply bleed to death Mobility the heart of German ground strength was stymied all his Bridges were falling down Splendid effort of our Air Force we put the enemy on the road Allied Forces had triumphed at a price part of it nine thousand Airman but the road to Rome was open at last there were tears from grateful Romans for the weary men who had exploded through the tight enemy ring at anzio's bloody beachhead now after nine months of brutal War half of once Nazi dominated Italy was free and the Eternal City opened its arms out of casino and operation strangle came new lessons in the application of air power in the forthcoming Prelude to the norm in The Invasion you will see these hard-won lessons and tactics sharpened by the now campaign-wise United States Air Force	PublicResourceOrg	UCO9Q5_D6tItyoilmDogexng	2010-05-19	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

c4yIEy7DKy0	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4yIEy7DKy0	Golden Bough \| James Frazer \| *Non-fiction, Religion \| Speaking Book \| English \| 21/27	chapter 56 of the golden bow this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org the golden bough as her james treasure chapter 56 the public expulsion of evils 1 the omnipresence of demons in the foregoing chapter the primitive principle of the transference of ills to another person animal or thing was explained and illustrated but similar means have been adopted to free a whole community from diverse evils that affect it such attempts to dismiss at once the accumulated sorrows of a people are by no means rare or exceptional on the contrary they have been made in many lands and from being occasional they tend to become periodic and annual it needs some effort on our part to realize the frame of mind which prompts these attempts bred in a philosophy which strips nature or personality and reduces it to the unknown cause of an orderly series of impressions on our senses we find it hard to put ourselves in the place of the savage to whom the same impressions appear in the guise of spirits or the handiwork of spirits for ages the army of spirits once so near has been receding farther and farther from us banished by the magic wand of science from hearth and home from ruined cell and ivy tower from haunted glade and lonely mirror from the riven murky cloud that belches forth the lightning and from those fairer clouds that below the silvery moon are fret with flakes of burning red the golden eve the spirits are gone even from the last stronghold in the sky whose blue arch no longer passes except with children for the screen that hides from mortalized the glories of the celestial world only poet's dreams are impassioned flights of oratory is it given to catch a glimpse of the last flutter of the standards of the treating host to hear the beat of their invisible wings the sound of their mocking laughter or the swell of angel music dying away in the distance far otherwise is it with the savage his imagination the world still deems with those motley beings whom a more sober philosophy has discarded fairies and goblins ghosts and demons still hover about him both waking and sleeping they dog his footsteps dazzle his senses enter into him harass and does he even torment him in a thousand freakish and mischievous ways the mishaps that befall him the losses he sustains the pains he has to endure he commonly sets down if not to the magic of his enemies to the spite or anger or caprice of the spirits their constant presence wears him the sleepless malignity exasperates him he longs with an unspeakable longing to be rid of them all together and from time to time driven to bay his patients utterly exhausted he turns fiercely on his persecutors and makes a desperate effort to chase the whole pack of them from the land to clear the air of their swarming multitudes that he may breathe more freely and go on his way unmolested at least for a time thus it comes about that they endeavor of primitive people to make a clean sweep of all their troubles generally takes the form of a grand hunting out an expulsion of devils or ghosts they think that if they can only shake off these they're accursed tormentors they'll make a fresh start in life happy and innocent the tales of eden and the old poetic golden age will come through again 2. the occasional expulsion of evils we can therefore understand why those general clearances of evil to which from time to time the savage resorts should commonly take the form of a forcible expulsion of devils in these evil spirits primitive man sees the cause of many if not most of his troubles and he fancies that if he can only deliver himself from them things will go better with him the public attempts to expel the accumulated ills of whole community may be divided into two classes according as the expelled evils are immaterial and invisible or are embodied in a material vehicle or scapegoat the former may be called a direct or immediate expulsion of evils glattered indirect to mediate expulsion or the expulsion by scapegoat we begin with examples of the former in the island of rook between new guinea and new britain when any misfortune has happened all the people run together scream curse howl and beat the air which sticks to drive away the devil was supposed to be the author of the mishap from the spot where the mishap took place they drive him step by step to the sea and on reaching the shore they redouble their shouts and blows in order to expel him from the island he generally retires to the sea or to the island of lottin the natives of new britain ascribe sickness drought the failure of crops and in short all misfortunes to the influence of wicked spirits so at times when many people sicken and die as at the beginning of the rainy season all the inhabitants of the district armed with branches and clubs go out by moonlight into the fields where they beat and stamp on the ground with wild howls till morning believing that this drives away the devils and for the same purpose they rush through the village with burning torches the natives in new caledonia are said to believe that all evils are caused by a powerful and malignant spirit hence in order to rid themselves of him they will from time to time dig a great bit around which the whole tribe gathers after cursing the demon they fill up the pit with earth and trample on the top with loud shouts this they call burying the able spirit among the deery tribe of central australia when a serious illness occurs the medicine man expelled kuchi or the devil by beating the ground in and outside of the camp with the stuffed tail of a kangaroo until they have chased the demon away to some distance from the camp when a village has been visited by a series of disasters or a severe epidemic the inhabitants of minahasa in celebis laid the blame upon the devils while investing in the village and who must be expelled from it accordingly early one morning all the people men women and children quit their homes carrying their household goods with them and take up the quarters in temporary huts which have been erected outside the village here they spend several days offering sacrifices and preparing for the final ceremony at last the men some wearing masks others with their faces blackened and so on but all armed with swords guns spikes or brooms still cautiously and silently back into the deserted village then at the signal from the priest they rush furiously up and down the streets and into and under the houses which are raised on piles above the ground yelling and striking on walls doors and windows to drive away the devils next the priest and the rest of the people come with the holy fire and march 9 times around each house and thrives around the ladder that leads up to it carrying the fire with them then they take the fire into the kitchen where it must burn for three days continuously the devils are now driven away and general and great is the joy the alphas of halmahera attribute epidemics to the devil who comes from other villages to carry them off so in order to raid the village of the disease the sorcerer drives away the devil from all the villagers he receives a costly garment and places it on four vessels which he takes to the forest and leaves at the spot where the devil is supposed to be then with mocking words he bits the demon abandoned the place in the cave islands that is out west of new guinea the evil spirits were quite distinct from the souls of the dead former mighty host almost every tree and every cave is the lodging place of one of these fiends who are moreover extremely irratible and apt to fly out on the smallest provocation they manifest their displeasure by sending sickness and other calamities hence in times of public misfortune as when an epidemic is raging and all other remedies have failed the whole population go forth with the priests at their head to a place at some distance from the village here at sunset they erect a couple of poles with a crossbar between them to which they attach bags of rice wooden models of pivot guns gongs bracelets and so on then when everybody has taken his place at the poles and the death-like silence reigns the priest lifts up his voice and dresses the spirits in their own language as follows oh ye evil spirits who dwell in the trees ye evil spirits who live in the grottoes ye evil spirits who launch the earth we give you these pivot currents these gongs etc let the sickness cease and not so many people die of it then everybody runs home as fast as their legs can carry them in the island of nias when a man is seriously ill and other remedies have been tried in vain the sorcerer proceeds to exercise the devil who is causing the illness a pole is set up in front of the house and on the top of the pole a rope of palm leaves is stretched to the roof of the house then the sorcerer mounts the roof with a pig which he kills and allows to roll from the roof to the ground the devil anxious to get the pig lets himself down hastily from the roof by the rope of palm leaves and the good spirit invoked by the sorcerer prevents him from climbing up again if this remedy fails it is believed that other devils must still be lurking in the house so a general hunt is made after them all the doors and windows in the house are closed except a single dormer window in the roof the men shut up in the house hew and slash with the swords right and left in the clash of gongs and the rubber above drums terrified at this onslaught the devil is escaped by the normal window and sliding down the rope of palm leaves they take themselves off as all the doors and windows except the one in the roof are shot the devils cannot get into the house again in the case of an epidemic the proceedings are similar all the gates at the village except one are closed every voice is raised every gong and drum beaten every sword brandished thus the devils are driven out and the last gate is shut behind them for eight days thereafter the village is in a state of siege no one being allowed to enter it when cholera has broken out in a burmese village the able-bodied men scramble on the roofs and lay about them with bamboos and builds of wood while all the rest of the population old and young stand below and thump drums blow trumpets yell scream beat floors walls thin pants everything to make it in this uproar repeated on three successive nights is thought to be very effective in driving away the cholera demons when smallpox first appeared amongst the kumis of southeastern india they thought it was a devil come from the arakan the villagers were placed in a state of siege no one being allowed to leave or enter them a monkey was killed by being dashed on the ground and its body was hung at the village gate its blood mixed with small river pebbles was sprinkled on the houses the threshold of every house was swept with the monkey's tail and the fiend was endured to depart when an epidemic is raging on the gold coast of west africa the people will sometimes turn out armed with clubs and torches to drive the evil spirits away at a given signal the whole population begin with frightful yells to beat in every corner of the houses then rush like mad into the streets waving torches and striking frantically in the empty air the uproar goes on till somebody reports that the crowd and daunted demons have made good their escape by a gate of the town or village the people stream out after them pursue them for some distance into the forest and warn them never to return the expulsion of the devils is followed by a general massacre of all the in the village or town lest by their unseasonable crowing they should betray the banished demons the direction they must take to return to their old homes when sickness was prevalent in a huron village and all other remedies had been tried in vain the indians had recoursed the ceremony called leno roya which is the principal invention the most proper means so they say to expel from the town of village where the devils and evil spirits which course induce and import all the melodies and infirmities which they suffer in body and mind accordingly one evening the men would begin to rush like madmen about the village breaking and upsetting whatever they came across in the wigwams they threw fire and burning brands about the streets and all night long they ran howling and singing without cessation then they all dreamed of something a knife dog skin or whatever it might be and when morning came they went from wigwam to wigwam asking for presents these they received silently till the particular thing was given to them which they had dreamed about on receiving it they uttered a cry of joy and rushed from the hut amidst the congratulations of all present the health of those who received what they had dreamed of was believed to be assured whereas those who did not get what they had set their hearts upon regarded their fate as sealed sometimes instead of chasing the demon of disease from their homes savages preferred to leave him in peaceable possession while they themselves take the flight and attempt to prevent him from following in their tracks thus when the patagonians were attacked by smallpox which they attributed to the imaginations of an evil spirit they used to abandon their sick and flee slashing the air with their weapons and throwing water about in order to keep off the dreadful pursuer and when after several days march they reached a place where they hoped to be beyond his reach they used by way of precaution to plant all their cutting weapons with the sharp edges turned towards the quarter from which they had come as if they were repelling a charge of cavalry similarly when the lules or tonokota indians of the grand charcoal were attacked by an epidemic they regularly sought to evade it by flight but in so doing they always followed a sinuous not a straight course because they said that when the disease made after them he would be so exhausted by the turnings and windings of the road that he would never be able to come up with them when the indians of new mexico were decimated by smallpox or other infectious disease they used to shift their quarters every day retreating into the most sequestered parts of the mountains and choosing thorniest tickets they could find in the hope that the smallpox would be too afraid of scratching himself on the thorns to follow them when some qins on a visit to rangoon were attacked by cholera they went about with drawn swords to scare away the demon and they spent the day hiding under bushes so that he might not be able to find them 3. the periodic expulsion of evils the expulsion of evils from being occasional tends to become periodic it comes to be thought desirable to have a general riddance of evil spirits at fixed times usually once a year in order that the people may make a fresh start in life freed from all the malignant influences which have been long accumulated about them some of the australian blacks annually expelled the ghosts of the dead from their territory the ceremony was witnessed by the reverend w ridley on the banks of the river baron a chorus of 20 old and young were singing and beating time with boomerangs suddenly from under ashita bark darted a man with his body whitened by pipe clay his head and face collared with lines of red and yellow and the tuft of feathers fixed by means of a stick two feet above the crown of his head he stood 20 minutes perfectly still gazing upwards an aboriginal who stood by told me he was looking for the ghosts of dead men at last he began to move very slowly and soon rushed to and fro at full speed flourishing a branch as if the drive away some foes invisible to us but i thought this pantomime must almost be over ten more similarly adorned suddenly appeared from behind the trees and the whole party joined in a brisk conflict with the mysterious assailants at last after some rapid evolutions in which they put forth all their strength they rested from the exciting toil which they had kept up all night and for some hours after sunrise they seemed satisfied that the ghosts were driven away for 12 months they were performing the same ceremony at every station along the river and i am told it is an annual custom certain seasons of the year mark themselves naturally out as appropriate moments for a general expulsion of devils such a moment occurs towards the close of an arctic winter when the sun reappears on the horizon after an absence of weeks or months accordingly at point barrow the most northerly extremity of alaska and nearly of america the eskimo choose the moment of the sun's reappearance to hunt the mysterious spirit tunia from every house the ceremony was witnessed by the members of the united states polar expedition who entered the point barrow a fire was built in front of the council house and an old woman was posted at the entrance to every house the men gathered around the council house while the young women and girls drove the spirit out of every house with their knives stabbing viciously under the bunk and deerskins and calling upon dunya to be gone when they thought he had been driven out of every hole in corner they thrust him down the hole in the floor and chased him into the open air with loud cries and frantic gestures meanwhile the old woman at the entrance of the house made passes with a long knife in the air to keep him from returning each party drove the spirit towards the fire and invited him to go into it all the way by this time drawn up in a semi-circle around the fire when several of the leading men made specific charges against the spirit and each after his speech brushed his clothes violently calling on the spirit to leave him and go into the fire two men now stepped forward with rifles loaded with blank cartridges while a third brought a vessel of urine and flung it on the flames at the same time one of the men fired a shot into the fire and as the cloud of steam rose it received the other shot which was supposed to finish dunya for the time being in the late autumn when storms rage over the land and break the icy fetters by which the frozen seas as yet but slightly bound when delusion flows are driven against each other and break with loud crashes and when the cakes of ice are piling wild disorder upon one another the eskimos of baffin land fancy they hear the voices of the spirits who people the mischief laden heir then the ghosts of the dead knock wildly at the huts which they cannot enter and woo to the hapless white whom they catch he soon sickens and dies then the phantom of a huge hairless dog pursues the real dogs which expire in convulsions and cramps at sight of him all the countless spirits of evil are abroad striving to bring sickness and death foul weather and failure in hunting on eskimos most dreaded of all these spectral visitants are sedna mistress of the netherworld and her father to who share dead eskimos fall while the other spirits fill the air and water she rises from underground it is then a busy season for the wizards in every house you may hear them singing and praying while they conjure the spirits seated in a mystic gloom at the back of the hut which is dimly lit by a lamp burning low the hardest task of all is to drive away sedna and this is reserved for the most powerful enchanter a rope is called on the floor of a large hut in such a way as to leave a small opening at the top which represents the breeding hole of a seal two enchanters stand beside it one of them grasping a spear as if you were watching a seal hole in winter the other holding the harpoon line a third sorcerer sits at the back of the hut chanting a magic song to lure said nother spot now she's heard approaching under the floor of the hut bleeding heavily now she emerges at the hole now she's harpooned and sinks away in angry haste dragging the harpoon with her while two men hold on to the line with all the might the struggle is severe but at last by a desperate wrench she tears herself away and returns to her dwelling in adily wound when the harpoon is drawn up over the hole it is found to be splashed with blood which the enchanters proudly exhibit as a proof of their prowess thus sedna and the other evil spirits are at last driven away and next day a great festival is celebrated by old and young in honor of the events but they must still be cautious for the wounded said nice furious and will seize anyone she may find outside of his hut so they all wear amulets on the top of their hoods to protect themselves against her these amulets consist of pieces of the first garments that they wore after birth the iroquois inaugurated their new year in january february or march the time varied with a festival of dreams like that which the hurons observed on special occasions the whole ceremonies lasted several days or even weeks and formed a kind of saturnalia men and women variously disguised went from wigman to wigwam smashing and throwing down whatever they came across it was a time of general license the people were supposed to be out of their senses and therefore not to be responsible for what they did accordingly many seized the opportunity of paying off old scores by belaboring obnoxious persons drenching them with ice cold water and covering them with filth or hot ashes others seized burning brans or coals and flung them at the heads of the first person they met the only way of escaping from these persecutors was to guess what they had dreamed of on one day of the festival the ceremony was driving away the evil spirits from the village took place men clothed in the skins of wild beasts their faces covered with hideous masks and their hands with the shells of a tortoise went from hot to hut making frightful noises in every hut they took the fuel from the fire and scattered the embers and ashes above the floor with the hands the general confession of sins which preceded the festival was probably a preparation for the public expulsion of evil influences it was a way of stripping the people of their mortal burdens that these might be collected and cast out in september the incas of peru celebrated a festival called situa the object of which was to banish from the capital and its vicinity all disease and trouble the festival fell in september because the rains began about this time and with the first rains there was generally much sickness as a preparation for the festival the people faster than the first day of the moon after the autumnal equinox having fasted during the day and the night being come they baked the coarse paste of mace this paste was made of two sorts one was netted with the blood of children aged from five to ten years the blood being obtained by bleeding to children between the eyebrows these two kinds of paste were baked separately because they were for different uses each family assembled at the house of the eldest brother to celebrate the feast and those who had no elder brother went to the house of their next relation of greater age on the same night all who had fasted during the day washed their bodies and taking a little of the blood-netted paste rubbed it over the head face breasts shoulders arms and legs they did this in order that the paste might take away all their infirmities after this the head of the family anointed the threshold with the same paste and left it there as a token that the inmates of the house had performed their revolutions and cleansed their bodies meantime the high priest performed the same ceremonies in the temple of the sun as soon as the sun rose all the people worshiped and besought him to drive all evils out of the city and then they broke the fast with the paste that had been netted without blood when they had paid their worship and broken their fast which they did at the stated hour in order that all might adore the son as one man an incalled blood royal came forth on the fortress as a messenger of the sun richly dressed with his mantle girded around his body and the lance in his hand the lance was decked with feathers of many hues extending from the blade to the socket and fastened with rings of gold he ran down the hill from the fourth rest brandishing his lands till he reached the center of the great square where stood the golden urn like a fountain that was used for the sacrifice of the fermented juice of the mace here four other incas of the blood royal awaited him each with the lands in his hand and his mantle girded up the run the messenger touched the four lances with this lands and told them that the sun bade them as his messengers drive the evils out of the city the foreign coast and separated and ran down the four royal roads which led out of the city to the four quarters of the world while they ran all the people great and small came to the doors of their houses and with great shouts of joy and gladness shook their clothes as if they were shaking off dust while they cried let the evils be gone how greatly desired has this festival been by us o creator of all things permit us to reach another year that we may see another feast like this after they had shaken their clothes they passed their hands over their heads faces arms and legs as if in the act of washing all this was done to drive the evils out of their houses that the messengers of the sun might banish them from the city and it has done not only the streets through which the incas ran but generally in all quarters of the city moreover they all danced the inca himself among them and bathed in the rivers and fountains saying that their maladies would come out of them then they took great torches of straw bound around with cords these delighted and passed from one to the other striking each other with them and saying let all harm go away meanwhile the runners ran with their lances for a quarter of league outside the city where they found four other incas ready who received the lances from their hands and ran with them thus the lancers were carried by relays of runners for a distance of five or six leagues at the end of which the runners washed themselves in their weapons in the river and set up the lances in sign of a boundary within which the banished evils might not return the negro so orginia annually banished the devil from older towns which marched ceremony at a time set apart for a purpose at aksim on the gold coast this annual expulsion is preceded by a feast of eight lays during which mert and jolity skipping dancing and singing prevail and the perfect lampooning liberty is allowed and scandals are highly exalted that they may freely sing of all the faults villainies and frauds of their superiors as well as inferiors without punishment also much as the least interruption on the eighth day they hunt out the devil with a dismal cry running after him and pelting him with sticks stones and whatever comes to hand when they have driven him far enough out of the town they all return in this way he is expelled from more than 100 towns at the same time to make sure that he does not return to their houses the women wash and scour all their wooden and earthen vessels to free them from all uncleanness and the devil at cape coast castle on the gold coast the ceremony was witnessed on the night of october 1844 by an englishman which described it as follows tonight the annual customer driving the evil spirit abundsam out of the town has taken place as soon as the eight o'clock gun fired in the fort the people began firing muskets in their houses turning all their furniture out of doors beating about in every corner of the room with sticks etc and screaming as loudly as possible in order to frighten the devil being driven out of the houses as they imagine they sallied forth into the streets throwing lighted torches about shouting screaming beating sticks together rattling old pants making the most horrid noise in order to drive him out of the town into the sea the custom is preceded by four weeks dead silence no gun is allowed to be fire no drum to be beaten no palliver to be made between man and man if during these weeks two natives should disagree and make a noise in the town they are immediately taken before the king and find heavily if a dog or pig she pogo be found at large in the street it may be killed or taken by another the former owner not being allowed to demand any compensation this silence is designed to deceive a one-some that being officeguard he may be taken by surprise and frightened out of the place if anyone died during the silence his relatives are not allowed to weep until the four weeks have been completed sometimes the date of the annual expulsion of devils is fixed with reference to the agricultural seasons thus amongst the hosts of togoland in west africa the expulsion is performed annually before the people partake of the new yams the chief summons the priests and magicians and tells them that the people are now to eat the new yams and be merry therefore they must cleanse the town and remove the evils accordingly the evil spirits witches and all the ills that infest the people are conjured in the bundles of leaves and creepers fastened to poles which are carried away and set up in the earth on various roads outside the town during the following night no fire may be lit and no food eaten next morning the women sweep out their herds and houses and deposit the sweepings on broken wooden plates then the people pray saying all ye sicknesses that are in our body and plague us we are come today to throw you out thereupon they run as fast as they can in the direction of mount araklu smiting their mouths and screaming out today out today that which kills anybody out today evil spirits out today and all that causes our heads to ache out today angelo and the raklu are the places where they're all ill shall betake itself when they have come to a certain tree on mount raklu they throw everything away and return home at kirivina in southeastern new guinea when the new yams had been harvested the people feasted and danced for many days and a great deal of property such as omelets native money and so forth was displayed conspicuously on a platform erected for a purpose when the festivities were over all the people gathered together and expelled the spirits from the village by shouting beating the posts of the houses and overturning everything under which a vile spirit might be supposed to lurk the explanation which the people gave to a missionary was that they had entertained and feasted the spirits and provided them with riches and it was now time for them to take their departure had they not seen the dances and heard the songs and gorged themselves on the souls of the yams and appropriated the souls of the money and all the other findings set out on the platform what more could the spirit want so out they must go among the halls of northeastern india the great festival of the year is the harvest home held in january when the granaries are full of grain and all the people to use their own expression are full of devilry they have a strange notion that at this period men and women are so overcharged with vicious propensities that it is absolutely necessary for the safety of the person to let off steam by allowing for a time full vent to the passions the ceremonies open with the sacrifice to the village god of three falls a and two hands one of which must be black along with them are offered flowers of the palace tree butyafrandosa bread made from rice flour and sesame seeds these offerings are presented by the village priest who praised it during the year about to begin they and their children may be preserved from all misfortune and sickness and that they may have seasonable rain and good crops prayer is also made in some places for the souls of the dead at this time an evil spirit is supposed to infest the place and to get rid of it men women and children go in procession around and through every part of the village with sticks in their hands as if beating for game singing a wild chant and shouting was hifariously till they feel assured that the evil spirit must have fled then they give themselves up to feasting and drinking rice beer till they are in a fit state for the wild debauche which follows the festival now becomes a saturnal during which the servants forget their duty to the masters children their reverence for parents men their respect for women and women all notions of modesty delicacy and gentleness they became raging backhands usually the hosts are quiet and deservedly manner decorous and gentle to women but during this festival their natures appear to undergo a temporary change son and daughters revile their parents in gross language and parents their children men and women become almost like animals in the indulgence or the amorous propensities the mundaris kinsmen and neighbors of the horse keep the festival in much the same manner the resemblance to the saturnal is very complete as at this festival the firm labourers are feasted by their masters and allowed the utmost freedom of speech in addressing them it is the festival of the harvest home determination of one year's toil and a slight respite from it before they commence again among some of the hindu kush tribes as among the hosts and mundaries the expulsion of devils take place after harvest when the last crop of autumn has been gotten it is not necessary to drive away evil spirits from the granaries a kind of porridge is eaten and the head of the family takes his match lock and fires it into the floor then going outside he heads to work loading and firing till his power horn is exhausted while all his neighbors are similarly employed the next day is spent in rejoicing in chitral this festival is called devil driving on the other hand the conants of india expel the devils at seed time instead of at harvest but this time they worship pittari penu the god of increase and of gain in every shape on the first day of the festival a rude car is made of a basket set upon a few sticks tied up on the bamboo rollers for wheels the priest takes this car first to the house of the lineal head of the tribe whom precedence is given in all ceremonies connected with agriculture here he receives a little of each kind of seed and some feathers he then takes the car to all the other houses in the village each of which contributes the same things lastly the car is connected to a field without the village attended by all the young men who beat each other and strike the air violently with long sticks the seed that's carried out is called the share of the evil spirits spoilers of the seat these are considered to be driven out with the car and when it and its contents are abandoned to them they are held to have no excuse for interfering with the rest of the seed corn the people of bali an island to the east of java have periodical expulsions of devils upon a great scale generally the time chosen for the expulsion is the day of the dark moon in the ninth month when the demons have been long unmolested the country said be warm and the priest issues orders to expel them by force lest the whole of bali should be rendered uninhabitable on the day appointed the people of the village or district assembled at the principal temple here at the crossroad offerings has it out for the devils after prayers have been recited by the priests the blast of a horn summons the devils to partake over the meal which has been prepared for them at the same time a number of men step forward and light their torches at the holy land which burns before the chief priest immediately afterwards followed by the bystanders they spread in all directions and marched through the streets and lanes crying depart go away wherever they pass the people who have stayed at home heist by a deafening clatter on doors beams rice blocks and so forth to take their share in the expulsion of devils thus chased from the houses the fiends flee to the banquet which has been set out for them but here the priest receives them with curses which finally drive them from the district when the last devil has taken his departure the uproar is succeeded by a dead silence which lasts during the next day also the devils that is thought are anxious to return to their old homes and in order to make them think that bali is not bali but some desert island no one might stir from its own abode for 24 hours even ordinary household work including cooking is discontinued only the watchmen may show themselves in the street reeds of thorns and leaves are hung at all the entrances to warn strangers from entering not till the third day is this state of siege laced and even then it is forbidden to work the rice fields or to buy and sell in the market most people will stay at home whiling away the time with cards and dice in tong quinn a ticky dove or general expulsion of malevolent spirits commonly took place once a year especially if there was a great mortality amongst men the elephants are horses of the general stable or the cattle of the country the cause of which they attribute to the malicious spirits of such men as have been put to death for treason rebellion and corresponding the death of the king general princess and that in revenge of the punishment they have suffered they are bent to destroy everything and commit horrible violence to prevent this their superstition has suggested the institution of this tikida as a proper means to drive the devil away and purge the country of evil spirits the day appointed for the ceremony was generally 25th of february one month after the beginning of the new year which fell on the 25th of january the intermediate month was a season of feasting merrymaking of all kinds and general license during the whole month the great seal was kept shut up in a box face downwards and the law was as it were laid asleep all courts of justice were closed debtors could not be ceased small crimes such as petil arseniy fighting an assault escaped with impunity only treason and murder were taken account of and the manufacturers detained till the great seal should come into operation again at the close of the saturnalia the wicked spirits were driven away great masses of troops and artillery have been drawn up with flying collars and all the pompous war the general beginneth then to offer meat offerings to the criminal devils and malevolent spirits for it is usual and customary likewise amongst them to feast the condemned before their execution inviting them to eat and drink he accuses them in a strange language by characters and figures etc of many offences and crimes committed by them as to the having disquieted the land killed his elephants and horses etc for all which they justly deserve to be chastised and vanished from the country whereupon three great guns are fired as the last signal upon which all the artillery and muskets are discharged that by the most terrible noise the devils may be driven away and they are so blind as to believe for certain that they really and effectually put them to flight in cambodia the expulsion of evil spirits took place in march bits of broken statues and stones considered as the abode of the demons were collected and brought to the capital here as many elephants were collected as could be got together on the evening of the full moon volleys the musketeers were fired and the elephants charged furiously to put the devils to flight the ceremony was performed in three successive days in xi'an the banishment of demons is annually carried into effect on the last day of the old year a signal gun is fired from the palace it is answered from the next station and so from station to station till the fighting has reached the outer gate of the city thus the demons are driven out step by step as soon as this is done a consecrated rope is fastened around the circuit of the city walls to prevent the vanished demons from returning the rope is made of tough coached grass and is painted in alternate stripes of red yellow and blue annual expulsions of demons witches or evil influences appear to have been common among the heathen of europe if we may judge from the relics of such customs among their descendants at the present day thus among the hidden vortiacs a finnish people of eastern russia all the young girls of the village assemble on the last day of the year or a new year's day 100 sticks the ends of which are split in nine places with these they beat every corner of the house and yard saying or driving satan out of the village afterwards the sticks are thrown into the river below the village and as they float downstream satan goes with them to the next village from which he must be driven out in turn in some villages the expulsion is managed otherwise the unmarried men receive from every house in the village growths flesh and brandy this they take to the fields light a fire under a fir tree boil the grouts and eat all the food they have brought with them after pronouncing the words go away into the wilderness come not into the house then they return to the village and enter every house where there are young women they take hold of the young women and throw them into the snow saying may the spirits of disease leave you the remains of the growths and other foot are then distributed among all the houses in proportion to the amount that each contributed and each family consumes its share according to the watiak or the malmi's district the young women throw into the snow whomever they found in the houses and this is called driving out satan moreover some of the bold growths are cast into the fire with the words oh god afflict us not with sickness and pestilence give us not up as prey to the spirits or the wood but the most antique form of the ceremony is that observed by the wattage of the qasan government first of all a sacrifice is offered to the devil at noon then all the men assemble on horseback in the center of the village and decide with which house they shall begin when this question which often gives rise to hot disputes is settled they tethered their horses to the paling and arm themselves with whips clubs of limewood and bundles of lighted twigs delighted twigs are believed to have the greatest terrors for satan thus armed they proceed with frightful christ to beat every corner of the house and yard then shut the door and spit at the ejected field so they go from house to house that the devil has been driven from everyone then they mount the horses and ride out of the village yelling wildly and brandishing their clubs in every direction outside of the village they fling away the clubs and spit once more at the devil the cherumis another finnish people of eastern russia chase satan from the dwellings by beating the walls with cuddles of limewood for the same purpose they fire guns stab their ground with knives and insert burning chips of woods in the crevices also they leap over bonfires shaking out their garments as they do sir and in some districts they blow on long trumpets of lime tree bark to frighten them away when he has fled through wood they pelt the trees with some of the cheesecakes and eggs which furnished the feast in christian europe the old hidden custom of expelling the powers of evil at certain times of the year has survived to modern times thus in some villages of calabria the mountain march is inaugurated with the expulsion of witches it takes place at night to the sound of the church bells and people running about streets and crying marches come they say that the witches roam about in march and the ceremonies repeated every friday evening during the month often as might have been anticipated the ancient pagan rite has attached itself to church festivals in albania on easter eve the young people light torches of resinous wood and march in procession swinging them through the village at last they throw the torches into the river crying ha curry we throw you into the river like these torches that you may never return silesian peasants believe that on good friday the witchers go their rounds and have great power for mischief hence about oils near strahlitz the people on that day arm themselves with old brooms and drive the witches from house and home from farmyard and cattle stall making a great uproar and clatter as they do so in central europe the favorite time for expelling the witches is or was walpurgisk night the eve of mayday when the baleful powers of these mysterious beings were supposed to be at their height in the tyrol for example as in other places the expulsion of the powers of evil at this season goes by the name of burning out the witches it takes place on may day but people have been busy with their preparations four days before on a thursday at midnight bundles are made up of resident splinters black and red spotted hemlock keppersburg rosemary and twigs of the slow these are kept and burned on may day by men who must first have received plenary absolution from the church on the last three days of april all the houses are cleansed and fumigated with juniper berries in room on may day when the evening bell has a rung and the twilight is falling the ceremony of burning out the witches begins men and boys make a racket with whips bells pots and pans the women carry sensors the dogs are unchained and run barking and yelping about as soon as the church bell begins to ring the bundles of twigs fastening poles are set on fire and the incense is ignited then all the house belts and dinner belts are rung pots and pans are clashed dogs bark everyone must make a noise at the mid this hubbub all scream at the pitch of their voices which play flee from here or it will go ill with d then they run seven times around the houses the yard and the village so the witches are smoked out of their lurking places and driven away the custom of expelling the witches and walpurgist knight is still or was down to recent years observed in many parts of bavaria and among the germans of bohemia thus in the bimer wild mountains all the young fellows of the village assemble after sunset on some height especially at the crossroad and crack whips for a while in unison with all their strength this drives away witches for so far as the sound of the whips is heard these malefic beings can do no harm in some places while the young men are cracking their whips the herdsmen wind their horns and the long drawn notes heard far off in the silence of the night are very effectual for banning the witches another witching time is the period of 12 days between christmas and epiphany hence in some parts of silesia the people burn pine resin all night long between christmas and the new year in order that the pungent smoke may drive witches and leave the spirits far away from house and homestead and on christmas eve and new year's eve they fire shots over fields and meadows into shrubs and trees and wraps throw around the fruit trees to prevent the spirits from doing them harm on new year's eve which is saint sylvester's day bohemian lads armed with guns form themselves in the circles and fire thrice into the air this is called shooting the witches and is supposed to frighten the witches away the last or domestic 12 days is epiphany or twelfth night and it has been selected as a proper reason for the expulsion of the powers of evil in various parts of europe thus at brunen on the lake of lucarney boys go about in procession on twelfth night carrying torches and making a great noise with horns bells whips and so forth to frighten away two female spirits of the wood strudely and stratilli the people think that if they do not make enough noise there'll be little fruit that here again in a canton of southern france on the eve of twelfth day the people run through the streets jangling bells clattering kettles and doing everything to make a discordant noise then by the light of torches and blazing they set up a prodigious hue and cry an ear splitting uproar hoping thereby to chase all the wandering ghosts and devils from the town end of chapter 56 recording by moons

librivox.org the golden bow by sir james fraser chapter 57 public scapegoats section 1 the expulsion of embodied evils thus far we have dealt with that class of the general expulsion of evils which i have called direct or immediate in this class the evils are invisible at least to common eyes and the mode of deliverance consists for the most part in beating the empty air and raising such a hubbub as may scare the mischievous spirits and put them to flight it remains to illustrate the second class of expulsions in which the evil influences are embodied in a visible form or are at least supposed to be loaded upon a material medium which acts as a vehicle to draw them off from the people village or town the pomos of california celebrate an expulsion of devils every seven years at which the devils are represented by disguised men quote 20 or 30 men array themselves in harlequin rig and barbaric paint and put vessels of pitch on their heads then they secretly go out into the surrounding mountains these are to personify the devils a herald goes up to the top of the assembly house and makes a speech to the multitude at a signal agreed upon in the evening the masqueraders come in from the mountains with the vessels of pitch flaming on their heads and with all the frightful accessories of noise motion and costume which the savage mind can devise in representation of demons the terrified women and children flee for life the men huddle them inside a circle and on the principle of fighting the devil with fire they swing blazing firebrands in the air yell whoop and make frantic dashes at the marauding and bloodthirsty devils so creating a terrific spectacle and striking great fear into the hearts of the assembled hundreds of women who are screaming and fainting and clinging to their valorous protectors finally the devil succeeded getting into the assembly house and the bravest of the men enter and hold a parlay with them as a conclusion of the whole farce the men summon courage the devils are expelled from the assembly house and with a prodigious row and racket of sham fighting are chased away into the mountains close quote in spring as soon as the willow leaves were full grown on the banks of the river the mandan indians celebrated their great annual festival one of the features of which was the expulsion of the devil a man painted black to represent the devil entered the village from the prairie chased and frightened the women and acted the part of a buffalo bowl in the buffalo dance the object of which was to ensure a plentiful supply of buffaloes during the ensuing year finally he was chased from the village the women pursuing him with hisses and jibes beating him with sticks and pelting him with dirt some of the native tribes of central queensland believe in a noxious being called molonga who prowls unseen and would kill men and violate women if certain ceremonies were not performed these ceremonies last for five nights and consist of dances in which only men fantastically painted and adorned take part on the fifth night molonga himself personified by a man tricked out with red ogre and feathers and carrying a long feather-tipped spear rushes forth from the darkness at the spectators and makes as if he would run them through great is the excitement loud are the shrieks and shouts but after another feigned attack the demon vanishes in the gloom on the last night of the year the palace of the kings of cambodia is purged of devils men painted as fiends are chased by elephants about the palace courts when they have been expelled a consecrated thread of cotton is stretched around the palace to keep them out in minsurabad a district of mysore in southern india when cholera or smallpox has broken out in a parish the inhabitants assemble and conjure the demon of the disease into a wooden image which they carry generally at midnight into the next parish the inhabitants of that parish in like manner pass the image on to their neighbors and thus the demon is expelled from one village after another until he comes to the bank of a river into which he is finally thrown often or however the expelled demons are not represented at all but are understood to be present invisibly in the material and visible vehicle which conveys them away here again it will be convenient to distinguish between occasional and periodical expulsions we begin with the former section 2 the occasional expulsion of evils in a material vehicle the vehicle which conveys away the demons may be of various kinds a common one is a little ship or boat thus in the southern district of the island of ceram when a whole village suffers from sickness a small ship is made and filled with rice tobacco eggs and so forth which have been contributed by all the people a little sail is hoisted on the ship when all is ready a man calls out in a very loud voice oh all ye sicknesses ye smallpox's eggs measles etc who have visited us so long and wasted us so sorely but who now cease to plague us we have made ready this ship for you and we have furnished you with provender sufficient for the voyage ye shall have no lack of food nor of betel leaves nor of arica nuts nor of tobacco depart and sail away from us directly never come near us again but go to a land which is far from here let all the tides and winds waift you spearly thither and so convey you thither that for the time to come we may live sound and well and that we may never see the sun rise on you again the ten or 12 men carry the vessel to the shore and let it drift away with the land breeze feeling convinced that they are free from sickness forever or at least till the next time if sickness attacks them again they are sure it is not the same sickness but a different one which in due time they dismiss in the same manner when the demon-laden bark is lost to sight the bearers return to the village whereupon a man cries out the sicknesses are now gone vanished expelled and sailed away at this all the people come running out of their houses passing the word from one to the other with great joy beating on gongs and on tinkling instruments similar ceremonies are commonly resorted to in other east indian islands thus in timor-laut to mislead the demons who are causing sickness a small proa containing the image of a man and provisioned for a long voyage is allowed to drift away with wind and tide as it is being launched the people cry o sickness go from here turn back what do you hear in this poor land three days after this ceremony a pig is killed and part of the flesh is offered to dude who lives in the sun one of the oldest men says old sir i beseech you make well the grandchildren children women and men that we may be able to eat pork and rice and to drink palm wine i will keep my promise eat your share and make all the people in the village well if the proa is stranded at any inhabited spot the sickness will break out there hence a stranded proa excites much alarm amongst the coast population and they immediately burn it because demons fly from fire in the island of buru the proa which carries away the demons of disease is about 20 feet long rigged out with sails oars anchors and so on and well stocked with provisions for a day and a night the people beat gongs and drums and rush about to frighten the demons next morning 10 stalwart young men strike the people with branches which have been previously dipped in an earthen pot of water as soon as they have done so they run down to the beach put the branches on board the proa launch another boat in great haste and tow the disease-burdened bark far out to sea there they cast it off and one of them calls out grandfather smallpox go away go willingly away go visit another land we have made you food ready for the voyage we have now nothing more to give when they have landed all the people bathed together in the sea in this ceremony the reason for striking the people with the branches is clearly to rid them of the diseased demons which are then supposed to be transferred to the branches hence the haste with which the branches are deposited on the proa and towed away to sea so in the island districts of seram when smallpox or other sicknesses raging the priest strikes all the houses with consecrated branches which are then thrown into the river to be carried down to the sea exactly as amongst the wotaks of russia the sticks with which have been used for expelling the devils from the village are thrown into the river that the current may sweep the baleful burden away the plan of putting puppets in the boat to represent sick persons in order to lure the demons after them is not uncommon for example most of the pagan tribes on the coast of borneo seek to drive away epidemic disease as follows they carve one or more rough human images from the pith of the sago palm and place them on a small raft or boat or full rigged melee ship together with rice or other food the boat is decked with blossoms of eureka palm and with ribbons made from its leaves and thus adorned the little craft is allowed to float out to sea with the ebbtide bearing as the people fondly think or hope the sickness away with it often the vehicle which carries away the collected demons or ills of the whole community is an animal or scapegoat in the central provinces of india when cholera breaks out in the village everyone retires after sunset to his house the priests then parade the streets taking from the roof of each house a straw which is burnt with an offering of rice ghee and turmeric at some shrine to the east of the village chickens dobbed with vermilion are driven away in the direction of the smoke and are believed to carry the disease with them if they fail goats are tied and last of all pigs when cholera rages among the bars malons and kermis of india they take a goat or a buffalo in either case the animal must be a female and as black as possible then having tied some grain cloves and red lead in a yellow cloth on its back they turn it out of the village the animal is conducted beyond the boundary and not allowed to return sometimes the buffalo is marked with a red pigment and driven to the next village where he carries the plague with him amongst the dinkas a pastoral people of the west nile each family possesses a sacred cow when the country is threatened with war famine or any other public calamity the chiefs of the village require a particular family to surrender their sacred cow to serve as a scapegoat the animal is driven by the women to the brink of the river and across it to the other bank there to wander in the wilderness and fall prey to ravening beasts then the women return in silence and without looking behind them were they to cast a backward glance they imagine that the ceremony would have no effect in 1857 when the aymara indians of bolivia and peru were suffering from a plague they loaded a black llama with the clothes of the plague-stricken people sprinkled brandy on the clothes and then turned the animal loose on the mountains hoping that it would carry the pest away with it occasionally the scapegoat was a man for example from time to time the gods used to warn the king of uganda that his foes the banyoro were working magic against him and his people to make them die of disease to avert such a catastrophe the king would send a scapegoat to the frontier of bunyoro the land of the enemy the scapegoat consisted of either a man and a boy or a woman and her child chosen because of some mark or bodily defect which the gods had noticed and by which the victims were to be recognized with the human victims were sent a cow a goat a fowl and a dog and a strong guard escorted them to the land which the god had indicated there the limbs of the victims were broken and they were left to die a lingering death in the enemy's country being too crippled to crawl back to uganda the disease or plague was thought to have been thus transferred to the victims and to have been conveyed back in their persons to the land from which it came some of the aboriginal tribes of china as a protection against pestilence select a man of great muscular strength to act the part of scapegoat having bee smeared his face with paint he performs many antics with the view of enticing all pestilential and noxious influences to attach themselves to him only he is assisted by a priest finally the scapegoat hotly pursued by men and women beating gongs and tom toms is driven with great haste out of the town or village in the punjab a cure for the murrain is to hire a man of the chumar cast turn his face away from the village brand him with a red hot sickle and let him go out into the jungle taking the meorain with him he must not look back section 3 the periodic expulsion of evils in a material vehicle the immediate expulsion of evils by means of a scapegoat or other material vehicle like the immediate expulsion of them in invisible form tends to become periodic and for like reason thus every year generally in march the people of leti moa and lachor islands of the indian archipelago send away all their diseases to see they make a proa about six feet long rig it with sails ores rudder and other gear and every family deposits in it some rice fruit a foul two eggs insects that ravage the field and so on then they let it drift away to sea saying take away from here all kinds of sickness take them to other islands to other lands distribute them in places that lie eastward where the sun rises the biages of borneo annually sent to sea a little bark laden with the sins and misfortunes of the people the crew of any ship that falls in with the ill-omened bark at sea will suffer all the sorrows with which it is laden a like custom is annually observed by the dew sons of the tauren district in british north borneo the ceremony is the most important of the whole year the aim is to bring good luck to the villages during the ensuing year by solemnly expelling all the evil spirits that may have collected in or about the houses throughout the last 12 months the task of routing out the demons and banishing them devolves chiefly on women dressed in their finest array they go in procession through the village one of them carries a small sucking pig in a basket on her back and all of them bear wands with which they belabor the little pig at the appropriate moment its squeals help to attract the vagrant spirits at every house the women dance and sing clashing castanets or symbols of brass and jingling bunches of little brass bells in both hands when their performance has been repeated at every house in the village the procession defiles down to the river and all the evil spirits which the performers have chased from the houses follow them to the edge of the water there a raft has been made ready and moored to the bank it contains offerings of food cloth cooking pots and swords and the deck is crowded with figures of men women animals and birds all made out of the leaves of the sago palm the evil spirits now embark on the raft and when they are all aboard it is pushed off and allowed to float down with the current carrying the demons with it should the raft run aground near the village it is shoved off with all speed lest the invisible passengers should seize the opportunity of landing and returning to the village finally the sufferings of the little pig who squeals serve to decoy the demons from their lurking places are terminated by death for it is killed and its carcass thrown away every year at the beginning of the dry season the nicobar islanders carry the model of a ship through their villages the devils are chased out of the huts and driven on board the little ship which is then launched and suffered to sail away with the wind the ceremony has been described by a catechist who witnessed it at car nicobar in july 1897 for three days the people were busy preparing two very large floating cars shaped like canoes fitted with sails and loaded with certain leaves which possessed the valuable property of expelling devils while the young people were thus engaged the exorcists and the elders sat in a house singing songs by turns but often they would come forth pace the beach armed with rods and forbid the devil to enter the village the fourth day of the solemnity bore a name which means expelling the devil by sails in the evening all the villagers assembled the women bringing baskets of ashes and bunches of devil expelling leaves these leaves were then distributed to everybody old and young when all was ready a band of robust men attended by a guard of exorcists carried one of the cars down to the sea on the right side of the village graveyard and set it floating in the water as soon as they had returned another band of men carried the other car to the beach and floated it similarly in the sea to the left of the graveyard the demon-laden barks being now launched the women threw ashes from the shore and the whole crowd shouted saying fly away devil fly away never come again the wind and the tide being favorable the canoes sailed quickly away and that night all the people feasted together with great joy because the devil had departed in the direction of chaura a similar expulsion of devils takes place once a year in other nicobar villages but the ceremonies are held at different times in different places amongst many of the aboriginal tribes of china a great festival is celebrated in the third month of every year it is held by way of a general rejoicing over what the people believe to be a total annihilation of the ills of the past 12 months the destruction is supposed to be affected in the following way a large earthenware jar filled with gunpowder stones and bits iron is buried in the earth a train of gunpowder communicating with the jar is then laid and a match being applied the jar and its contents are blown up the stones and bits of iron represent the ills and disasters of the past year and the dispersion of them by the explosion is believed to remove the ills and disasters themselves the festival is attended with much reveling and drunkenness at old calabar on the coast of guinea the devils and ghosts are or used to be publicly expelled once in two years among the spirits thus driven from their hearts are the souls of all the people who died since the last illustration of the town about three weeks or a month before the expulsion which according to one account takes place in the month of november rude effigies representing men and animals such as crocodiles leopards elephants bullocks and birds are made of wicker work or wood and being hung with strips of cloth and be dizzened with gigas are set before the door of every house about three o'clock in the morning of the day appointed for the ceremony the whole population turns out into the streets and proceeds with a deafening uproar and in a state of the wildest excitement to drive all lurking devils and ghosts into the effigies in order that they may be banished with them from the abodes of men for this purpose bands of people roam through the streets knocking on doors firing guns beating drums blowing on horns ringing bells clattering pots and pans shouting and hollowing with might and mane in short making all the noise it is possible for them to raise the hubbub goes on till the approach of dawn when it gradually subsides and ceases all together at sunrise by this time the houses have been thoroughly swept and all the frightened spirits are supposed to have huddled into the effigies or their fluttering drapery in these wicker figures are also deposited the sweepings of the houses and the ashes of yesterday's fires then the demon-laden images are hastily snatched up carried in tumultuous procession down to the brink of the river and thrown into the water to the tuck of drums the ebbtide bears them away seaward and thus the town is swept clean of ghosts and devils for another two years similar annual expulsions of embodied evils are not unknown in europe on the evening of easter sunday the gypsies of southern europe take a wooden vessel like a band box which rests cradle wise on two cross pieces of wood in this they place herbs and symbols together with the dried carcass of a snake or lizard which every person present must have touched with his fingers the vessel is then wrapped in white and red wool carried by the oldest man from tent to tent and finally thrown into running water not however before every member of the band has spat into it once and the sorceress has uttered some spell over it they believe that by performing this ceremony they dispel all the illnesses that would otherwise have afflicted them in the course of the year and that if anyone finds the vessel and opens it out of curiosity he and his will be visited by all the maladies which the others have escaped the scapegoat by means of which the accumulated ills of a whole year are publicly expelled is sometimes an animal for example among the garos of assam quote besides the sacrifices for individual cases of illness there are certain ceremonies which are observed once a year by a whole community or village and are intended to safeguard its members from dangers of the forest and from sickness and mishap during the coming 12 months the principle of these is the assang tata ceremony close to the outskirts of every big village a number of stones may be noticed stuck into the ground apparently without order or method these are known by the name of asong and on them is offered the sacrifice which the assang tata demands the sacrifice of a goat takes place and a month later that of the langor or a bamboo rat is considered necessary the animal chosen has a rope fastened round its neck and is led by two men one on each side of it to every house in the village it is taken inside each house and turn the assembled villagers meanwhile beating the walls from the outside to frighten and drive out any evil spirits which may have taken up their residence within the round of the village having been made in this manner the monkey or rat is led to the outskirts of the village killed by a blow of a dao which disembowels it and then crucified on bamboos set up in the ground round the crucified animal long sharp bamboo stakes are placed which form chevu de frise round about it these commemorate the days when such defenses surrounded the villages on all sides to keep off human enemies and they are now a symbol to ward off sickness and dangers to life from the wild animals of the forest the language required for the purpose is hunted down some days before but should it be found impossible to catch one a browned monkey may take its place a hulaq may not be used close quote here the crucified ape or rat is the public scapegoat which by its vicarious sufferings and death relieves the people from all sickness and mishap in the coming year again on one day of the year the bottias of juhar in the western himalayas take a dog intoxicate him with spirits and bang or hemp and having fed him with sweet meats lead him round the village and let him loose then they chase and kill him with sticks and stones and believe that when they have done so no disease or misfortune will visit the village during the year in some parts of bread albane it was formerly the custom on new year's day to take a dog to the door give him a bit of bread and drive him out saying get away you dog whatever death of men or loss of cattle would happen to this house to the end of the present year may at all light on your head on the day of atonement which was the tenth day of the seventh month the jewish high priest laid both his hands on the head of a live goat confessed over at all the iniquities of the children of israel and having thereby transferred the sins of the people to the beast sent it away into the wilderness the scapegoat upon whom the sins of the people are periodically laid may also be a human being at onitsa on the niger two human beings used to be annually sacrificed to take away the sins of the land the victims were purchased by public subscription all persons who during the past year had fallen into gross sins such as incendiarism theft adultery witchcraft and so forth were expected to contribute 28 mugas or a little over two pounds the money thus collected was taken into the interior of the country and expended in the purchase of two sickly persons quote to be offered as a sacrifice for all these abominable crimes one for the land and one for the river close quote a man from a neighboring town was hired to put them to death on the 27th of february 1858 the reverend g c taylor witnessed the sacrifice of one of these victims the sufferer was a woman about 19 or 20 years of age they dragged her alive along the ground face downward from the king's house to the river a distance of two miles the crowds who accompanied her crying wickedness wickedness the intention was quote to take away the iniquities of the land the body was dragged along in a merciless manner as if the weight of all their wickedness was thus carried away close quote similar customs are said to be still secretly practiced every year by many tribes in the delta of the niger in spite of the vigilance of the british government among the yoruba negroes of west africa quote the human victim chosen for sacrifice and who may be either a freeborn or a slave a person of noble or wealthy parentage or one of humblebirth is after he has been chosen and marked out for the purpose called an aloo he is always well fed and nourished and supplied with whatever he should desire during the period of his confinement when the occasion arrives for him to be sacrificed and offered up he is commonly led about and paraded through the streets of the town or city of the sovereign who would sacrifice him for the well-being of his government and of every family and individual under it in order that he might carry off the sin guilt misfortune and death of all without exception ashes and chalk would be employed to hide his identity by the one being freely thrown over his head and his face painted with the ladder wilst individuals would often rush out of their houses to lay their hands upon him that they might thus transfer to him their sin guilt trouble and death close quote this parade over he is taken to an inner sanctuary and beheaded his last words or dying groans are the signal for an outburst of joy among the people assembled outside who believe that the sacrifice has been accepted and the divine wrath appeased in siam it used to be the custom on one day of the year to single out a woman broken down by debauchery and carry her on a litter through all the streets to the music of drums and outboys the mob insulted her and pelted her with dirt and after having carried her through the whole city they threw her on a dunghill or a hedge of thorns outside the ramparts forbidding her ever to enter the walls again they believed that the woman thus drew upon herself all the malign influences of the air and of evil spirits the botox of sumatra offer either a red horse or a buffalo as a public sacrifice to purify the land and obtain the favor of the gods formally it is said a man was bound to the same stake as the buffalo and when they killed the animal the man was driven away no one might receive him converse with him or give him food doubtless he was supposed to carry away the sins and misfortunes of the people sometimes the scapegoat is a divine animal the people of malabar share the hindu reverence for the cow to kill and eat which quote they esteem to be the crime as heinous as homicide or willful murder close quote nevertheless they quote brachmans transfer the sins of the people into one or more cows which they are then carried away both the cows and the sins wherewith the beasts are charged to what place the brachman shall appoint close quote when the ancient egyptians sacrificed ebola they invoked upon its head all the evils that might otherwise befall themselves and the land of egypt and thereupon they either sold the bull's head to the greeks or cast it into the river now it cannot be said that in times known to us the egyptians worshipped bulls in general for they seem to have commonly killed and eaten them but a good many circumstances point to the conclusion that originally all cattle bulls as well as cows were held sacred by the egyptians for not only were the cows esteemed holy by them and never sacrificed but even bowls might not be sacrificed unless they had certain natural marks a priest examined every wool before it was sacrificed if it had the proper marks he put his seal on the animal in token that it might be sacrificed and if a man sacrificed a bull which had not been sealed he was put to death moreover the worship of the black bulls apis and nevis especially the former played an important part in egyptian religion all bulls that died a natural death were carefully buried in the suburbs of the city and their bones were afterwards collected from all parts of egypt and interred in a single spot and at the sacrifice of a bull in the great rites of isis all the worshippers beat their breasts and mourned on the whole then we are perhaps entitled to infer that bulls were originally as cows were always esteemed sacred by the egyptians and that the slain bull upon whose head they laid the misfortunes of the people was once a divine scapegoat it seems not improbable that the lamb annually slain by the matus of central africa is a divine scapegoat and the same supposition may partly explain the zunyi sacrifice of the turtle lastly the scapegoat may be a divine man thus in november the gomes of india worship gansim the protector of the crops and at the festival the god himself is said to descend on the head of one of the worshippers who was suddenly seized with a kind of fit and after staggering about rushes off into the jungle where it is believed that if left to himself he would die mad however they bring him back but he does not recover his senses for one or two days the people think that one man is thus singled out as a scapegoat for the sins of the rest of the village in the temple of the moon the albanians of the eastern caucasus kept a number of sacred slaves of whom many were inspired and when any one of these men exhibited more than the usual symptoms of inspiration or insanity and wandered solitary up and down the woods like the gond in the jungle the high priest had him bound with a sacred chain and maintained him in luxury for a year at the end of the year he was anointed with ungates and led forth to be sacrificed a man whose business it was to slay these human victims and to whom practice had given dexterity advanced from the crowd and thrust a sacred sphere into the victim's side piercing his heart from the manner in which the slain man fell omens were drawn as to the welfare of the commonwealth then the body was carried to a certain spot where all the people stood upon it as a puraficatory ceremony this last circumstance clearly indicates that the sins of the people were transferred to the victim just as the jewish priest transferred the sins of the people to the scapegoat by laying his hands on the animal's head and since the man was believed to be possessed by a divine spirit we have here an undoubted example of a man-god slain to take away the sins and misfortunes of the people in tibet the ceremony of the scapegoat presents some remarkable features the tibetan new year begins with a new moon which appears about the 15th of february for 23 days afterwards the government of lhasa the capital is taken out of the hands of the ordinary rulers and entrusted to the monk of the debang monastery who offers to pay the highest sun for the privilege the successful bidder is called the jal no and he announces his ascension to power in person going through the streets of lhasa with a silver stick in his hand monks from all the neighboring monasteries and temples simple to pay him homage the jal-no exercises his authority in the most arbitrary manner for his own benefit as all the fines which he exacts are his by purchase the profit he makes is about 10 times the amount of the purchase money his men go about the streets in order to discover any conduct on the part of the inhabitants that can be found fault with every house in lhasa is taxed at this time and the slightest offense is punished with unsparing rigor by fines the severity of the jal no drives all working classes out of the city till the 23 days are over but if the laity go out the clergy come in all the buddhist monasteries of the country for miles roundabout open their gates and discourage their inmates all the roads that lead down into lhasa from the neighboring mountains are full of monks caring to the capitol some on foot some on horseback some riding asses or lowing oxen all carrying their prayer books and culinary utensils in such multitudes do they come that the streets and squares of the city are encumbered with their swarms and incarnating with their red cloaks the disorder and confusion are indescribable bands of the holy men traverse the streets chanting prayers or uttering wild cries they meet they jostle they quarrel they fight bloody noses black eyes and broken heads are freely given and received all day long too from before the peep of dawn till after darkness has fallen these red cloak monks hold services in the dim incense-laden air of the great matchendranath temple the cathedral of lhasa and thither they crowd thrice a day to receive their dolls of tea and soup and money the cathedral is a vast building standing in the center of the city and surrounded by bazaars and shops the idols in it are richly inlaid with gold and precious stones twenty-four days after the jal-no has ceased to have authority he assumes it again and for ten days acts in the same arbitrary manner as before on the first of the ten days the priests again assemble at the cathedral pray to the gods to prevent sickness and other evils among the people quote and as a peace offering sacrifice one man the man is not killed purposely but the ceremony he undergoes often proves fatal grain is thrown against his head and his face is painted half white half black close quote thus grotesquely disguised and carrying a coat of skin on his arm he is called the king of the years and sits daily in the marketplace where he helps himself to whatever he likes and goes about shaking a black yak's tail over the people who thus transfer their bad luck to him on the tenth day all the troops of lhasa march to the great temple and form in line before it the king of the years is brought forth from the temple and receives small donations from the assembled multitude he then ridicules the jal-no saying to him whatever we perceive through the five senses is no illusion all you teach is untrue and the like the jal-no who represents the grand llama for the tying being contests these heretical opinions the dispute waxes warm and at last both agree to decide the question at issue by a cast of the dice did y'all know offering to change places with the scapegoat should the throw be against him if the king of the years wins much evil is prognosticated but if the jal no wins there is great rejoicing for it proves that his adversary has been accepted by the gods as a victim to bear all the sins of the people of lhasa fortune however always favors the jal-no who throws sixes with unvarying success while his opponent turns up only ones nor is this so extraordinary as at first sight as it might appear for the jal-nosed dice are marked with nothing but sixes and as adversaries with nothing but ones when he sees the finger of providence thus plainly pointed against him the king of years is terrified and flees away upon a white horse with a white dog a white bird salt and so forth which have all been provided for him by the government his face is still painted half white and half black and he still wears his leathern coat the whole populace pursues him hooting yelling and firing blank shots and volleys after him thus driven out of the city he is detained for seven days in the great chamber of horrors at the samyas monastery surrounded by monstrous and terrific images of devils and skins of huge serpents and wild beasts thence he goes away into the mountains of chittang where he is to remain an outcast for several months or a year in a narrow den if he dies before the time is out the people say it is an auspicious omen but if he survives he may return to lhasa and played the part of scapegoat over again the following year this quaint ceremonial still annually observed in the secluded capital of buddhism the rome of asia is interesting because it exhibits in a clearly marked religious stratification a series of divine redeemers themselves redeemed of vicarious sacrifices vicariously atoned for of gods undergoing a process of fossilization who while they retain the privileges have disburdened themselves of the pains and penalties of divinity in the jal-no we may without undue straining discern a successor of those temporary kings those mortal gods who purchase a short lease of power and glory at the price of their lives that he is the temporary substitute of the grand lama is certain that he is or was once liable to act as a scapegoat for the people is made nearly certain by his offer to change places with the real scapegoat the king of years if the arbitrament of the dice should go against him it is true that the conditions under which the question is now put to the hazard have reduced the offer to an idle form but such forms are no mere mushroom growths springing up of themselves any night if they are now lifeless formalities empty husks devoid of significance we may be sure that they once had a life and a meaning if at the present day they are blind alleys leading nowhere we may be certain that in former days they were paths that led somewhere if only to death that death was the gold twitch of old the tibetan scapegoat passed after his brief period of license in the marketplace is a conjecture that has much to commend it analogy suggests it the blank shots fired after him the statement that the ceremony often proves fatal the belief that his death is a happy omen all confirm it we need not wonder then that the jall know after paying so dear to act as deputy deity for a few weeks should have preferred to die by deputy rather than in his own person when his time was up the painful but necessary duty was accordingly laid on some poor devil some social outcast some wretch with whom the world had gone hard who readily agreed to throw away his life at the end of a few days if only he might have his fling in the meantime for observe that while the time allowed to the original deputy the jal-no was measured by weeks the time allowed to the deputy's deputy was cut down to days ten days according to one authority seven days according to another source shorter rope was doubtless thought a long enough tether for so black or sickly a sheep so few sands in the hourglass slipping so fast away sufficed for one who had wasted so many precious years hence in the jack pudding who now masquerades with motley countenance in the marketplace of lhasa sweeping up a misfortune with a black yak's tail we may fairly see the substitute of a substitute the vicar of a vicar the proxy on whose back the heavy burden was laid when it had been lifted from nobler shoulders but the clue if we have followed it a right does not stop at the jallno it leads straight back to the pope of losa himself the grand lama of whom the jal-no was merely the temporary vicar the analogy of many customs in many lands points to the conclusion that if this human divinity stoops to resign his ghostly power for a time into the hands of a substitute it is or rather was once for no other reason than that the substitute might die in his stead thus through the mist of ages unilumened by the lamp of history the tragic figure of the pope of buddhism god's vicar on earth for asia looms dim and sad as the man-god who bore his people's sorrows the good shepherd who laid down his life for the sheep section 4 on scapegoats in general the foregoing survey of the custom of publicly expelling the accumulated evils of a village or town or country suggests a few general observations in the first place it will not be disputed that what i have called the immediate and the immediate expulsions of evil are identical in intention in other words that whether the evils are conceived of as invisible or as embodied in a material form is a circumstance entirely subordinate to the main object of the ceremony which is simply to affect a total clearance of all the ills that have been infesting a people if any link were wanting to connect the two kinds of expulsions it would be furnished by such a practice as that of sending the evils away in a litter or a boat for here on the one hand the evils are invisible and intangible and on the other hand there is a visible and tangible vehicle to convey them away and the scapegoat is nothing more than such a vehicle in the second place when a general clearance of evils is resorted to periodically the interval between the celebrations of the ceremony is commonly a year and the time of year when the ceremony takes place usually coincides with some well-marked change of season such as the beginning or end of winter in the arctic and temperate zones and the beginning or end of the rainy season in the tropics the increased mortality which such climatic changes are apt to produce especially amongst ill-fed ill-clothed and ill-housed savages is set down by primitive men to the agency of demons who must accordingly be expelled hence in the tropical regions of new britain and peru the devils are or were driven out at the beginning of the rainy season hence on the dreary coasts of bath and land they are banished at the approach of the bitter arctic winter when a tribe has taken to husbandry the time for the general expulsion of devils is naturally made to agree with one of the great epochs of the agricultural year as sowing or harvest but as these epochs themselves naturally coincide with changes of season it does not follow that the transition from the hunting or pastoral to the agricultural life involves any alteration in the time of celebrating this great annual rite some of the agricultural communities of india and the hindu kush as we have seen hold their general clearance of demons at harvest others at sowing time but at whatever season of the year it is held the general expulsion of devils commonly marks the beginning of the new year four before entering on a new year people are anxious to rid themselves of the troubles that have harassed them in the past hence it comes about that in so many communities the beginning of the new year is inaugurated with a solemn and public banishment of evil spirits in the third place it is to be observed that this public and periodic expulsion of devils is commonly preceded or followed by a period of general license during which the ordinary restraints of society are thrown aside and all offenses short of the gravest are allowed to pass unpunished in guinea and tonkin the period of license precedes the public expulsion of demons and the suspension of the ordinary government in lhasa previous to the expulsion of the scapegoat is perhaps a relic of a similar period of universal license amongst the haas of india the period of license follows the expulsion of the devil amongst the iroquois it hardly appears whether it preceded or followed the banishment of evils in any case the extraordinary relaxation of all ordinary rules of conduct on such occasions is doubtless to be explained by the general clearance of evils which proceeds or follows it on the one hand when a general riddance of evil and absolution from all sin is an immediate prospect people are encouraged to give the reign to their passions trusting that the coming ceremony will wipe out the score which they are running up so fast on the other hand when the ceremony has just taken place men's minds are free from the oppressive sense under which they generally labor of an atmosphere surcharged with devils and in the first revulsion of joy they overleap the limits commonly imposed by custom and morality when the ceremony takes place at harvest time the elation of feeling which it excites is further stimulated by the state of physical well-being produced by an abundant supply of food fourthly the employment of a divine man or animal as a scapegoat is especially to be noted indeed we are here directly concerned with the custom of banishing evils only insofar as these evils are believed to be transferred to a god who is afterwards slain it may be suspected that the custom of employing a divine man or animal as a public scapegoat is much more widely diffused than appears from the example cited for as has already been pointed out the custom of killing a god dates from so early a period of human history that in later ages even when the custom continues to be practiced it is liable to be misinterpreted the divine character of the animal or man is forgotten and he comes to be regarded merely as an ordinary victim this is especially likely to be the case when it is a divine man who was killed for when a nation becomes civilized it does not drop human sacrifices altogether it at least selects as victims only such wretches as would be put to death at any rate thus the killing of a god may sometimes come to be confounded with the execution of a criminal if we ask why a dying god should be chosen to take upon himself and carry away the sins and sorrows of the people it may be suggested that in the practice of using the divinity as a scapegoat we have a combination of two customs which were at one time distinct and independent on the one hand we have seen that it has been customary to kill the human or animal god in order to save his divine life from being weakened by the inroads of age on the other hand we have seen that it has been customary to have a general expulsion of evils and sins once a year now if it occurred to people to combine these two customs the result would be the employment of the dying god as a scapegoat he was killed not originally to take away sin but to save the divine life from the degeneracy of old age but since he had to be killed at any rate people may have thought that he might as well seize the opportunity to lay upon him the burden of their sufferings and sins in order that he might bear it away with him to the unknown world beyond the grave the use of the divinity as a scapegoat clears up the ambiguity which as we saw appears to hang about the european folk custom of carrying out death grounds have been shown for believing that in this ceremony the so-called death was originally the spirit of vegetation who was annually slain in spring in order that he might come to life again with all the vigor of youth but as i pointed out there are certain features in this ceremony which are not explicable on this hypothesis alone such are the marks of joy with which the effigy of death is carried out to be buried or burnt and the fear and abhorrence of it manifested by the bearers but these features become at once intelligible if we suppose that the death was not merely the dying god of vegetation but also a public scapegoat upon whom were laid all the evils that had afflicted the people during the past year joy on such an occasion is natural and appropriate and if the dying god appears to be the object of that fear and abhorrence which are properly due not to himself but to the sins and misfortunes with which he is laden this arises merely from the difficulty of distinguishing or at least of marking the distinction between the bearer and the burden when the burden is of a baleful character the bearer of it will be feared and shunned just as much as if he were himself instinct with all those dangerous properties of which as it happens he is only the vehicle similarly we have seen that disease-laden and sin-laden boats are dreaded and shunned by east indian peoples again the view that in these popular customs the death is a scapegoat as well as a representative of the divine spirit of vegetation derives some support from the circumstance that its expulsion is always celebrated in spring and chiefly by slavonic peoples for the slavonic year began in spring and thus in one of its aspects the ceremony of carrying out death would be an example of the widespread custom of expelling the accumulated evils of the old year before entering on a new one end of chapter 57	Priceless

9l7ho9fhyNI	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l7ho9fhyNI	The Evolution of the Eye (C0nc0rdance)	the evolution of the vertebrate eye a molecular perspective let's start by talking about the living fossil platinar dalii it's a poly worm same family as earthworms it possesses a prototypical pigment cup eye it might win a prize for the ugliest whatever even HR guer would be inspired by this guy here's the larel eye at 24 hours traced from em micrographs the yellow are rapic photo receptor cells the green are pigment cells these two cells are the simplest possible visual system this eye senses light Direction even color it directly couples to other cells no nerves at this stage no lens brain nerves and only a one cell retina here's the same eye at 72 hours in the Proto adult the development of structures has led to enhanced directionality this eye can can be used for locating nerves will begin to grow toward the romir because of its surface markers no lens single cell retina a single optical nerve no brain here's the adult pigment eye it's really just a cluster of the laral eye Parts created by repeated duplication this eye has no lens a multicellular retina nerves and a simple brain this is the stereotypical progression and embryonic development in batarians it also gives us an idea of the evolutionary progression from the ER batarians all of these forms exist in animals extant today in fact here we see a cellular level view of the retinas of the idian hagfish lamp Ray and nasta these closely related organisms show a great deal of diversity in ey structure but all clearly evolve from Two basic cell types the the romaric and ciliary photo receptor cell in vertebrates this correlates to rod and Cone cells respectively with this closeup you can begin to see why cone and Rod cells got their names each of these terminates in a simple synaptic terminal which is where the retina meets a nerve ending all sensory tissues have these types of terminals suggesting that the complex eye could have evolved from a simple eye spot it does not require the special growth of new neural Pathways and development let's take a closer look at the photo receptor cells why are they special well they contain chemicals called opsins ciliary photo receptors contain a broad diversity of these of which the best known is ropson derived from vitamin A this is why your mother told you to eat your carrots if you want to see well in the dark the emergence in batarians that's animals with bilateral symmetry of these specialized light sensing options provide a test for evolution what can we learn about the eye from examining the data produced by a field called comparative genomics if the theory of common descent is true we should see a pattern of genetic similarity that matches the stages of development of eye complexity I've used one of my favorite metagenomic tools homologene it will search the genomic databases at the ncbi for homologous genes between organisms it will calculate the variation in protein sequence between different organisms if the modern theory of evolution is true I would expect to see relatedness among all the animals tested I would also expect to see that genes that are present in the simplest visual system would be highly conserved in the complex vertebrate eye we should also be able to tell based on the accumulation of heritable changes which genes are most ancient and which are most recent we should also be able to find plausible alternative functions for the ancestors of the visual genes part one relatedness if we start with comparing the chimpanzee visual system to that of humans almost no differences can be detected we need to zoom out a little to see any differences at all here is a comparison of several important visual system genes across a variety of mammals versus the human protein sequence blue is dog red is cow and yellow is mouse note that all three mammals have about the same proteins for ey formation as we might expect this data suggests that pin 2 IP and opson 4 are more recent in humans or have weaker selection than the truly essential genes like Pax 6 which is the homeobox gene that determines where eyes are formed genes such as ropin opson one and transducin are all very highly conserved and these are the earliest visual system genes part two primitive visual genes are highly conserved here's transducin the protein that transmits the signal from the opsins note that it is a very highly conserved between humans and fish and that we also find a very similar protein sequence in a variety of plants this Gene must be a very early component of the signaling from Ops and activation here's guanine nucleotide binding protein gnbp also a signaling component of the simplest visual system and we find it in vertebrate rods and cones as well as in chickens and fruit flies minimally changed note that genetic change corresponds to The evolutionary distance as based on morphology and fossil evidence part three we should see which genes are ancient and which are most recent we've already seen some ancient genes shared between plant leaves and vertebrate eyes what genes are more recent here is PAX 6 which is incredibly conserved between vertebrates as far away as fish and chickens but more distantly related in fruit flies I would predict that P 6 had a predecessor in early batarians but that it was modified after the vertebrates and invertebrates parted ways this would make sense considering the differences in eye morphology between flies and humans part four all genes should have a plausible explanation for alternative functions well here's a list of genes and their paralog functions opsin for example have a function in circadian rhythms in single cell organisms and they're responsible for some blue green phototaxis analogy transducin and gnbps are both signal transduction Cascade proteins uh they interact with a number of different membrane bround receptors atonal P six and and fox A2 are all in the family of basic Helix Loop Helix transcription factors and they're all used in the formation of multiple sensory systems cryptochromes are found uh in all varieties of animals U but they are related to bacterial photo lias which repair UV induced DNA damage uh using actual light energy they are also involved in circadium rhythms I know plausible explanations have been given for the evolution of the physiology of the vertebrate eye but I wish to advance a theory on the genomic evolution of that eye one plausible scenario is that in the Genome of an early heterotropic UK carot a cryptochrome became fused with a transmembrane domain containing a transducin binding site this one change produces the first opson and provides a way for the cell to react to light which would have been an increase in Fitness for a photosynthetic cell these genes were inherited by all subsequent UK carots but the evolution of specialized eye structures was via the transposition of the opson gene with a basic Helix Loop Helix promoter sequence from another Gene these specialized eye structures would also be selected for and inherited that gives rise to a whole family of genes specialized for light capture signal transduction and eye structural elements in conclusion the vertebrate eye is marvelous and complex but it's also highly possible by incremental changes by natural processes we can observe today evolution of the eye the lens let's examine the lens of the eye then decide if it was designed or evolved what is the lens it's the part of the eye that focuses light onto the retina it is composed of three parts the capsule the epithelium and the fibers the lens capsule is a basement membrane a type of structure common in tissues that need a degree of adhesion to other tissues it surrounds and protects the lens but it's not unique to the eye the lens epithelium is inside the capsule it is a simple cuboidal epithelium and like the same cells in the kidney and thyroid IT regulates the exchange of nutrients fluids and salts these cells are also not unique to the lastly we come to the lens fiber cells they deriv from the epithelium as shown here they are clear long and thin and some no longer possess nuclei or organel now these are unique to the eye let's focus on lens fiber cells They are packed tightly and use Gap Junctions to generate lamina or layers note the hook and hole arrangement in this em micrograph so here's the question did the lens fiber evolve or was it designed if it was designed we should see irreducible irreducible complexity that is no part of the system is functional without all of the parts being intact specified information the information to make the lens fiber must have been created by the designer for this structure fine-tuning the structure is specifically designed for the function it is being employed in if it was evolved we should see functional Independence the parts of the lens fiber have putative independent functions genetic homology the information for making lens fibers must have Arisen from existing information adaptation the lens fiber should show evidence of prior alternative usage so is it irreducibly complex or is it functionally independent well let's answer the simple questions do eyes exist that do not have lens fibers yes lots of them does an eye without a lens work for vision yes very poorly but it does work are there proteins and lens fibers that are irreducibly complex that's the interesting question what proteins do we find in lens fibers well 90% of their mass is a class of proteins called crystallins crystallins are highly soluble proteins that refract light and are responsible for the bending of light in the lens they are very stable proteins seemingly designed as the perfect biological lens material but are they examples of evolution or design it turns out all the crystallin genes have evolved from other genes we can identify which genes by their protein sequence similarities researchers studying crystallin in humans made a startling Discovery the protein that allows us to see and focus was being made an embryonic heart and kidney and an aggressively growing cancer cells it turns out many of the crystallin proteins have other functions in embryology crystallin in mammals has strong homology to quinone reductase and alcoh dehydrogenates and some of the subunits are still functional chaperonins proteins that help fold other proteins so clearly not irreducibly complex specified complexity versus genetic homology is the information for making crystallins specified complex information or can it be found in animals without lenses well let's do a protein protein homology search on crystallins here's the hom ology for crystallin Alpha B all vertebrates have about the same sequence invertebrates have some differences here's crystallin Alpha a same thing all vertebrates are almost identical invertebrates are similar but Divergent that's not even the good bit look what I get when I specify matches only in bacteria and this too in fact there are over 200 matches for bacteria with crystall in Alpha B the top matches are all soil fauna for some reason like nitrio is here the nitrogen fixing bacteria and root nodules so the crystallin genes all appear to have come from duplication and Divergence of existing genes so no on irreducible complexity no on specified information what about three specificity of forms is there any sort of prior art that exists for the lens is it optimal and universally designed well first the obvious answers is the lens optimally and universally designed well no many organisms possess lenses distinct from the modern vertebrate lens modern insects and ancient trilobite calide eyes uh show different lens architectures so that's not to Universal optimal design is there any structure of the eye that does not exist elsewhere in the human body only the lens fiber cells uh the capsule as we mentioned was a standard basement membrane the epithelium is a standard simple cuboidal epithelium is there a prior art to the eye well yes certain unicellular organisms possess an ey spot organel they are composed of a region of photo receptors shaded by Red pigments making them blue green specific the heterotroph ugina is shown here okay is there a prior art to the lens yes the waxy cuticle epithelial cells in plants and some algae are intentionally transparent so is the lens of the eye designed or evolved the evidence is clear how did the evolution of the lens likely occur well here's a likely scenario start with low expression of ADH in all tissues always expressed at a low level no matter what that's what we call constitutive expression this is typical for all genes not under tight control the constitutive gene product comes under tight control by a regulatory pathway related to eye development the constitutively expressed Gene ADH becomes tightly controlled as part of development there is a selection for proteins that do not interfere with Optical transmission the constitutive gene duplicates and diverges resulting in a normal non-lens form and a specialized form in lens development now an early crystallin Gene there are now two different Gene products subject to different selection pressures but still structurally similar now why does any of this matter because every year thousands of babies are born with cataracts due to genetic defects understanding where these defects come from what genes are involved and how animal models are applicable may help us diagnose and treat babies born with genetic defects it does matter evolution of the lacrimal gland this is the lacal gland either spelling is correct it produces tears tears protect the eyes from scratches and infections they moison and coat the eye they can also show emotion like disappointment in the white man's carelessness if you were born after 1978 you may need to ask your parents about this reference there are three types of Tears based basil reflex and emotional basil tiers are composed by weight of 96% water 3.5% salts and 0.5% other it's the 0.5% other that I want to focus on that 0.5% is mucin glycerophospholipids lyme lacto lipocalin ltin imunoglobulin and glucose are any of these unique to tier fluid no as it turns out all those components are present in other fluids mucin for example is present in all mucus all mucous membranes glyc sorry glycerophospholipids are also all mucus Lyme is found in salivan mucus lactofen is found in milk saliva and mucus lipocalin is found in saliva mucus and even in the nerve sheath lacin is found in saliva imunoglobulin are found throughout the body and of course glucose is found in every cell in the body so tears are very similar to saliva and mucus so there's nothing unique being produced by the lacrimal gland it's also structurally very similar to other exren glands like the pancreas salivary mamary glands so here's the lacrimal gland compared to the pancreas and the gallbladder so what Gene controls the development of this specialized exocrine gland that produces watery mucus in humans it's otx1 short for orthodenticle homeobox one if evolution is true we would predict a pattern of homology to other mammals as it turns out all mammals have 97% protein homology to the human otx1 gene product despite DNA sequences showing increasing differences with evolutionary distance even fish as I and as I will show flies have otx1 dropa has a homeobox gene that is homologous to otx1 called otd short for orthodenticle it controls many aspects of eye development but how similar is it how about if we cut the gene out of flies and paste it into mice in place of otx1 here's the wild type Mouse lacrimal gland it's marked LG but if we knock out the o otx1 Gene no more lacal gland this is called an otx1 minus mutant or knockout what if we substitute in the dropa fly otd Gene hey we get the flal glands back so a fly Gene for eye development is functional to make tear glands in a mouse flies don't even have tear ducts how could the fly Gene do this because otx is the product of evolution it evolved from a gene in the common ancestor of flies and mice it turns out mice have CRX otx1 and otx2 CRX is a cone rod homeobox otx1 and otx2 are involved in brain and eye development can we infer any kind of relationship between CTX otx1 and otx2 how similar are they very similar these three gen are clearly related to each other and they all three share a strong homology to the fly otd Gene so here's a plausible explanation for the evolution of the lacrimal gland step one a homeo homeobox gene for an exocrine gland in batarians duplicates and diverges over time producing an OT like Gene the otd like transcription Factor becomes associated with eye and brain development later duplication and Divergence result in specialized homeobox genes for different processes in development one of these is otx1 invertebrates the exocrine related genes are currently being driven by another bicoid transcription Factor this bicoid transcription factor is specific to I don't know pancreas gastric or salivary glands specific homeo boxes I'm guessing salivary which is Hawks B13 because of the similarities in Express proteins the bid transcription Factor binding site mutates to be prefer preferentially Bound by otx1 producing a new exocrine gland attached to the eye it secretes a salival like coating over the eye protecting it and increasing Fitness in the organism over time more genes join the otx1 enhanced cluster producing modern lacrimal glands thank you and please don't

mwf4eoyMZ_U	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwf4eoyMZ_U	Making the Gulf Coast Whole Again (Part 1 of 2)	the committee will come to order the oversight committee exists to secure two fundamental principles first Americans have a right to know that the money Washington takes from them is well spent and second Americans deserve an efficient Effective Government that works for them our duty on the oversight and government reform committee is to protect these rights our solemn responsibility is to hold government accountable to taxpayers because taxpayers have a right to know what they get from their government we work tirelessly in partnership with citizen Watchdogs to deliver facts to the American people and bring genuine reform to the federal bureaucracy this is our mission this morning we will review the enormous task confronted in the Gulf as a result of the BP oil spill and the Obama administration's choices made then and to this day it is clear that this was a man-made disaster that 11 people died in what should not have happened but it's the choices after an initial event that we will focus on today that is not to take away BP's ultimate responsibility but this committee reviews government actions both prospectively and retrospectively we cannot expect to do a better job next time if we do not focus on what was done right and what was done wrong in This Disaster the government made several decisions under its Authority one of them was not to use the Stafford act and in fact to leave the very entity that created this pollution in a position of authority and Lead there are many reasons this may have happened but we have to ask should it happen again Congress has the clear power and authority to change the rules of the road we should not have to choose between holding a polluter responsible and empowering leaders at the federal state and local Le level to do what they are responsible to do on behalf of their citizens the reimbursement for actions directly and indirectly belongs to British Petroleum they have said they will meet that challenge and we will hold them to it but as the days and weeks went on after an initial spill 40 some miles out at Sea it became obvious that we lacked the resources in place to do the job that was coming the response was slow and chaotic additionally we will hear from testimony today that the secondary damage turned out to be in many cases far worse than the little or no oil that came to the shores of communities that is part of what we have to deal with here today oil spills and other events are inevitable in my hometown of Cleveland more than 60 years ago a liquefied liquefied natural gas container went bad and many died it has not stopped us from resourcing and using natural gas here in America Three Mile Island is still in the memory of people my age it has not stopped us from using nuclear fuel as a primary source for base load coal miners to our dismay continue to die re trying to uh trying to harvest that fuel around the world that is a necessary part of our society that dangerous jobs are done by people who choose to do them and have a right to be protected in that process but this hearing is not about the riskiness of any of these fuel sources it is in fact about whether the federal government knows better this time than they did before this event additionally it is important for us to understand that just as uh Hurricane Katrina told us that FEMA had problems working with States FEMA was not necessarily ready for a loss of vast areas of response we now know that even when all the response capabilities were in place even when it was a single event of a company that did not do their job and did not play properly by the rules we find secondary events throughout the area we find oil coming ashore and not being responded to for a number of reasons We additionally find a loss of Revenue in unrelated areas we will hear from our second panel and from our first that the loss of Tourism was needless and extreme in areas in which the water was clean the shore was pristine and in fact people were scared away we need to make sure that does not happen again we need to make sure that Governors and local officials are empowered to do what is in the best interest of their people and that the American people get a fair understanding of the scope of any problem or spill lastly we will hear today that as a result of one Reckless action we find countless billions of dollars of Revenue lost good hardworking Americans out of work resources necessary to make us more less oil reliant on countries that often are not friendly to us leaving for the very countries that in fact will now produce the oil that we are forced to buy in America today both sides of the aisle talk about jobs I for one am not an economist but I can understand that if $400 billion worth of purchased oil were produced here in America there would be countless millions of direct and indirect jobs available to Americans there are many things that we are not competitive on here in America certainly one of them we are competitive on is natural resource extraction from our Coastal Waters and onshore location ations I look forward to hearing from my old friend and a considerably uh well-known figure to all of us and a great governor governor Barber and with that I recognize the gentleman from Maryland for his opening statement thank you very much uh Mr chairman and good morning let me first welcome Governor Barbara and I thank you very much for being with us today I also want to take a moment to recognize Dick Gregory who is uh a person who has fought hard for so many people for so long uh in our audience and thank you Mr Gregory for being a part of this hearing today um Governor Barbara your state has been through a tremendous amount of uh difficulty and I sincerely look forward to your testimony let me also welcome Michael bramwit from the Department of interior uh Mr bramwit you agreed to be here with incred incredibly short notice so we thank you very much for your testimony and for your expertise finally let me welcome the residents of the gulf who have traveled here today to share their views uh with the committee earlier this year the national Commission on the Deep BP deep water Horizon orvill issued a comprehensive report on the causes of The Spill the report found that This Disaster was avoidable and that it resulted from Clear mistakes made in the first instance by BP halberton and Trans Ocean and by government officials these were extremely difficult lessons to learn I'm encouraged that now more than a year later officials in both the oil industry and our government appear to be heeding these lessons and retooling the way they do business first we must never ever forget that 11 individuals lost their lives in explosion on April 20th to address deficiencies that contributed to these deaths the Interior Department issued an impr improved workplace safety rule that many many including industry believe will significantly enhance worker safety the department also completely reorganized the minerals Management Service MMS uh had been criticized because it oversaw the safety of drilling the environmental impacts caused by Drilling and the revenue generated from drilling according to the National commission MMS had a builtin incentive to to promote offshore drilling in sharp tension with its mandate to ensure safe Drilling and Environmental Protection the department also implemented a number of critical safety measures to ensure that a blowout like this would never happen again for example a new drilling safety rule strengthened standards for Well Control procedures drilling equipment and welld design and it required independent and third-party inspections finally the department issued a notice to Le's to require oil companies to demonstrate that they can actually cap a well that they can actually cap a well and handle a deep water blowout before any new drilling permits were were issued these were responsible steps taken after it became clear to the nation after 87 days that BP simply did not have the technology available in other words the technology was far out distancing our our ability to control it Mr chairman I have to say that I am disappointed by your actions today you stated that the committee investigations have interviewed more investigators have ined interviewed more than 50 government officials scores of residents business owners and whistleblowers as part of this investigation that is news to everyone on this side of the a because you completely excluded us from that effort and you have not explained why unfortunately uh this is a definition of partisanship and it under Rems the Integrity of this committee and uh by the way this report that's being submitted this morning was submitted to the repress before we even saw it nevertheless moving forward it is our obligations as members of the United States Congress to develop constructive ways to help people in the Gulf rebuild their lives and their livelihoods in my former capacity as chairman of the subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation I visited the golf twice while oil was flowing from the Mondo well I saw firsthand how this spill affected small business and other industries that were decimated by The Spill I've offered several measures to provide real solutions to golf residents last Congress I authored a provision in the legislation that cut in half from 90 days to 45 days the amount of time responsible parties had to settle claims arising from The Spill I also worked on Provisions with chairman obar to strengthen the Coast Guard's oversight of of all spill response plans this year just recently I offered an amendment to hr1 1229 to require all oil and gas exploration development and production activities in the Gulf to be conducted by US flag vessels talking about jobs that's jobs this this uh this which would have immediately stimulated the gulf uh e economy unfortunately the rules committee did not allow a vote on my Amendment my basic point is this we have a tremendous opportunity in this committee to really help people people have who have undergone extreme hardship as a goal for today's hearing if we can focus our efforts on identifying even one positive proactive solution that we can all agree on then I think today's hearing will be a success and with that Mr chairman I thank you I thank you I ask uh for one minute unanimous consent to respond without objection to my ranking member uh just for your ratification this investigation began under your predecessor chairman towns we went down jointly and separately he authorized minority trips when I was in the minority in addition to the Joint trips we did including members of both parties when I took the chair we continued that investigation we have had joint trips in addition to we have authorized minority trips down there as a matter of fact we've never turned down a request by the minority to uh to go on staff uh fact finding every request that's been asked for has been granted it is true that both your side and my side under both the majority and minority have gone both together and independently but I certainly think that I don't I will not belittle any effort that your side made to get it individual and independent facts I hope you were not intending to do so by saying that you were surprised that we'd made 50 trips when some of them were made together this chairman may I have a minute of course let me say this Mr chairman I uh this is as I said from the very beginning uh I I my number one concern is helping the American people and it is about the Integrity of this committee I do not belittle for one second uh the findings and the things that the majority has done what I'm saying is that we want to be a true partner in all of that I have said to you privately and openly that we too care about government operating properly we too care about making sure that every agency of government does what it is supposed to do we too want to make sure that there's no agency that is caught up in a culture of mediocrity we refuse to have that and we have said that to this Administration and we say it to any Administration so I look forward going forward I don't like I said I want to move on but I wanted to make it clear that we two are Partners we two were elected by 700,000 people per district and so we want to make sure our voices are heard too and I appreciate your comments I thank the gentlemen and with that we are prepared to introduce our first panel I'm going to deny myself the honor of introducing Governor Barber and instead go to the newest member of the Mississippi delegation uh Congressman Steven Palazo for his introduction of his governor and I understand your Governor when you were in the State House the gentleman is recognized for an introduction good morning thank you chairman Isa Rank and member Cummings and members for allowing me the privilege of introducing someone who I believe will provide your committee with the most credible testimony today I have experienced his leadership firsthand after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina and more recently the Deepwater Horizon ol Bill indeed no other Governor has been as frequently challenged to rise to the occasion of leading a state during a time of Crisis whether man-made or natural and each time Governor Barber shouldered the burden of leadership in a manner that calm tempers mended broken hearts and resulted in incredible efficient outcomes to accomplish this he met each event with a balanced regime of compassion and Order uh laying fears and the sense of loss with hope and the prospect of Swift recovery I vividly remember the many times the governor and his beautiful wife Marsha walked hand inand with the victims and in the aftermath aftermath of it all assured them that everything was going to be all right more recently he continues to guide our state through historical floods and a severe tornado season he has not only LED Mississippi through the country's worst n natural and made man-made disaster but he challenged us to build back bigger and better he is a great leader in every sense of the word and of course I'm talking about Mississippi's 63rd Governor Haley Barber Mr chairman as someone who represents a district devastated by the oil spill I appreciate you directing the committee to assess the recovery efforts of BP and the Obama Administration I would like to briefly mention that as someone who has worked offshore on drilling platforms I have a particular concern on how the administration came to to the decision to Institute a moratorium without conducting a study of how it will impact the Gul Coast Economy we know now that this thoughtless decision will decrease oil production by up to 250,000 barrels per day for the next two years a loss of production at this magnitude will continue to have a negative impact on the Gul Coast Economy for years to come studies conducted by Louisiana State University put potential estimated job loss by the moratorium and subsequent permitorium on the Gulf Coast region at around 24,000 the ripple effect of these lost jobs and high energy prices hurts our national economy the majority of the jobs lost in Mississippi are from the fourth congressional district of Mississippi the district I represent I've worked offshore I know the value of the jobs that the offshore drilling industry provides I look forward to further investigation into the economic impact of the administration's decisions and their motivations I applaud the committee for the extensive work on this critical issue and I look forward to hearing the testimony by the witnesses and the outcome of this important hearing and thank you again chairman Isa and the members for allowing me the honor of introducing Governor Haley Barber I yeld back I thank the gentleman uh pursuant to the rules of the committee Governor would you rise to take the oath governor do you solemnly swear or affirm that the testimony you were about to give will be the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth let the record reflect that the governor answered in the affirmative Governor you know this routine you've seen it for years uh your entire statement will be placed in the record we will not hold you to an exact five minutes but uh come as close as you can thank Mr chair recognized and to the rank of member and all the members of the committee thank you very much for having me here uh I am going to not read my statement uh let me start off by saying that uh this disaster very different from other disasters uh when when representative Palazo talks about Katrina we had utter obliteration on the coast we had places where it looked like the hand of God it just wiped away the Gulf Coast for blocks and for someplace for Miles we had hurricane force winds 240 miles Inland and to get people where they got confident that the coast was going to come back where they had hope for their families and their communities where they were willing to return home was an enormous part of of the job in this case keeping people calm you know you had a an oil well blow out 100 plus miles away from our coast and I should say at this point this experience for us was a little different than for Louisiana Louisiana was closer to the well they got wet Brown oil into some of their areas we didn't uh we were about 108 mil from the wh head to the City of Gulfport and by the time oil got to us a it had been a long time since the well blew out be what got to us you would not recognize as oil uh there was this orange mixture of water and the remnant of oil that the the the the oil people call Moose uh and then there were what we call tarballs and tar patties when I was a kid we used to go to the beach we used to throw them at each other tarballs because the Gulf of Mexico seeps out somewhere as much as a mil 400,000 barrels a year according to the US GIS uh every year through the floor so you know we were we were used to tar balls but when this happened people were obviously very very concerned and one of the big jobs was to keep people calm to keep people understanding we're going to prepare we're going to have a good plan we're going to have the resources to execute the plan we're going to protect the coast particularly the habitat particularly the coastal Marsh lands where the shrimp and uh and other uh important Wildlife actually are born and and start to grow and we had to do that with a a different set of rules and the first point I want to make is the Stafford act the decision was made that This Disaster would be managed under the oil pollution act uh not the Stafford act as has been said to the committee by others a disadvantage of that for us is we're used to the Stafford act Florida Alabama Mississippi Louisiana Texas we've managed disasters under the Stafford act because that's what hurricanes are managed under that's what tornadoes have managed under that's what uh floods like we have in Mississippi today so a it was a it it was something we knew but very importantly from a Governor's point of view the Stafford act expressly says that the federal government will supplement the work of the state not supply in it one of the problems we had under the staff under the oil pollution act early on and lasted for several weeks the Coast Guard who headed unified command uh and we're accustomed to unified command we have unified command under under Stafford act disasters they took the position that the National Guard worked for them and this became a real issue which I'll talk about in a minute but under the Stafford Act is very clear the national Guard works for the governor unless the president federalizes the National Guard we're not mad at anybody about it but it didn't work well when they tried to assume command over the National Guard and I should say President Bush after Katrina talked about federalizing the response and I very loudly and publicly said no that we don't want the Army coming into Mississippi or the marines coming into Mississippi they're not trained for that they don't know the terrain they don't know the people so Stafford act uh weather and the Stafford act by the way has a lot of improvement that it needs but the oil pollution act ought to be changed to say flatly like the Stafford act it's supplemental to the states and it doesn't usurp the state's Authority where this came into play was in our plan to defend the state's Shoreline against oil we developed a a layer defense plan beginning outside the Barrier Islands using the Barrier Islands to protect us protecting the gaps between the Barrier Islands what that oil that got through to the sound that would be our principal place to try to pick it up to keep it from getting to shore steer it toward beaches keep it out of marshlands as it turned out the Coast Guard approved that plan never understood how to execute it and after the second time that oil got to our Barry Islands completely undetected not much less contested undetected we demanded that we be put in charge of this and the Coast Guard agreed and we worked out assistant at work I will just tell you before that there was no command and control in fact United uh unified command could not even speak to the hundreds of vessels of opportunity that we had gotten BP to hire to form picket lines to spot the oil as far out where we could try to steer it and collect it they didn't have any means of talking to them so we had to set that up to get command and control as it should be two other points I want to make and I'll be glad that I'm trying not to get into too much detail for us this turned out to be primarily an economic disaster now it may be that there is something lurking beneath the sea or that is going to develop that becomes e ecologically dangerous and and we're all over that and not just Mississippi all the states the federal government all kind of scientists but thus far the environmental damage for us again we're different from Louisiana has been very manageable we have uh on the coastline of Mississippi we have 80 Mi of Coastline we never closed one mile of beach except for one time in the whole experience we had one tw mile section of beach that we closed overnight because we had a high tide after a hurricane where some oil got across the highway and we couldn't clean it all up otherwise we cleaned up the oil that got to the beaches every every day the day it got there so our environmental damage unless there is something to come it's not our issue our issue is a is a gigantic economic loss the talked about tourism our tourism industry was clobbered uh our season starts when our schools get out which are earlier than in the north our schools get out the middle of May so that's when the tourist season starts of course this happened late April so people saw on TV the same brown pelican coated with look like 3 in of oil I mean looked like a chocolate pelic and they showed it every hour every day 24 hours a day seven days a week for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks and the news media particularly 24-hour cable TV gave citizens the impression the whole Gulf Coast was coated in oil people deduced from that that it was unsafe unpleasant don't want to go there they cancel their reservations they can't canel their uh contracts to buy condomania and not just in Mississippi but all across the Gulf Coast uh the president to his credit actually it got so bad that the president came to Mississippi Alabama and Florida and held news conferences on the beach to say look the beaches are clean the water is clear it's beautiful down here come on down here but that one news day can't compete with what was being seen every day every hour for weeks huge economic problem and loss there and then of course in the fishing side on Seafood huge losses because they closed our Waters and I should say to you right now we have not since this oil spill had one sample of seafood in Mississippi Waters that was tested that did not pass the test and meet every standard the same is true for the federal government we haven't had one one sample of seafood that failed yet we have people that won't buy seafood from the Gul Coast in New York in San Francisco and Chicago because of what they saw on television so the fishermen had some mitigation of their losses because they got hired to be vessels of opportunity the processors were slammed so Seafood a huge problem uh the oil and gas industry the moror for which there was no reason in fact the government appointed a panel to look at this and the panel disagreed with the uh announcement that was made that you got the impression it was the panel's recommendation to have a moratorium and the panel after said whoa that wasn't in our recommendation we're against that that was added after the panel was through we've drilled more than 31,000 oil well in the Gul of Mexico in the last 50 years and this is the first time anything vaguely like this has happened the moratorium hurt us financially more importantly hurt the country 30% of all the oil domestically produced in the US is in the Gulf of Mexico and about 80% of that is deep water yet in the last year the number of new the number of permits for new deep water drilling has decreased 85% uh and that's that's a huge problem let me close by saying this for those of y'all that want to help the states that were that were hurt understanding that this was an economic problem for us and and again Louisiana is a little different from the rest of us this was an economic problem remember the natural resources damage assessments and uh the payments that can be made under that are largely limited to environmental and uh while there is some loss of use room there largely these states cannot be compensated from their economic loss except by getting part of the Civil fines that are going to be assessed against BP and the responsible parties and I would ask you to consider as members of Congress looking at this and understanding that this is that this is the best way to help these states recover because it is economic recovery that they have to get uh unless something really changes on the environment I apologize I went over Mr chairman no apology required I'd now ask unanimous consent that the uh staff report entitled the BP oil spill recovery effort the legacy of choices made by the Obama Administration be entered into the record without objection so ordered I would also note for the minority that uh after the break it's my intention to uh uh have a committee vote uh to make this a committee report so uh during the this intervening period if the minority has comments questions anything to add the final report will reflect uh comments by the uh the minori so that it is in fact a bipartisan report the gentleman's recognize it's my understanding that the the there's a three according to the committee rules we we have to have three days before a committee vote that's correct I'm giving you more than 10 days notice I thought you said today no no rule four right what I'm doing is I'm I'm ask I asked and got permission to enter this in the record it's a staff report I'm going to elevate it to a committee report after the minority has entered their comments and any adjustments are made right now it's the basis for a committee report the intention is to make sure that your staff that has been working on the same set of of fact um edit make changes uh suggest changes make any other comment so that it becomes a joint report and I want it to reflect both the majority and minority opinion uh when so when will that vote be it will be after the break at the earliest so it was more than 10 days beforehand misunder I'm just noticing for the future all right okay and with that I'd like to recognize uh the former chairman of the full committee uh the gentleman from Indiana Mr Burton for his five-minute opening or five minute questions welcome uh Governor barbar great to see you again and thank you Congress it looks like you've elected a pretty goodlooking articulate young man to serve in the Congress so congratul take him long to get gray hair that'll come in time if he sticks around this place uh first of all let me say I have been um uh to the Gulf Coast not Mississippi but I will come and uh I've walked on the beaches down there uh and also uh on beaches I believe uh on the east coast of Florida and I saw these tarballs and this was when there was no oil well problem and so uh when you just said that 1.4 million barrels of oil leak out naturally each year I hope everybody in the country knows that because that amount coming out naturally doesn't cause any kind of a problem and that ought to be uh uh included in the discussion when we talk about uh Deep Water Drilling in the Gulf you also said that 85% there's been an 85% loss in drilling permits that is tragic especially in view of the fact that we just sent $2 billion dollar down to Brazil so that they can drill in deep water and we can't and it really surprised me I think you said there were 31,000 wells in the last 50 years down there and it's been done drilled without any real big problems and yet right now this Administration is uh stopping us from drilling here and we're sending billions and billions and billions of dollars over to the Middle East to countries that don't like us very much and that really really bothers me and I hope that you uh are able to uh in effect go on a crusade to tell the story that you've told us today because I think the American people need to know that uh we have the ability to move rapidly toward energy Independence over the next decade if we use natural gas and oil and shell coal that can be converted into oil and we're not doing any of that and as a result uh this country is really suffering and I really uh sympathize with you on the impact the fiscal impact that was going on that took place down there in the Gulf uh during the the the terrible crisis and I want to say one more thing about the media I I really sympathize with you in this drum beat that went on and on and on over a month or two months showing the problems that were created down there which obviously had a devastating impact on you and your your economy and I hope that in the future when these kinds of tragedies occur the media will not sensationalize it to the degree that it hurts economies like that in the Gulf States now I just have a couple of questions you said that the Stafford act uh uh uh could have been handled it could have been handled much better under the Stafford act can you elaborate you may have mentioned this in your opening remarks but what could have been done uh that would have been better in helping to manage the problem in the Gulf if you as governor and the governor of Louisiana uh did have the control that you wanted the two big reasons of the Stafford act being preferable to state and local governments we're used to it we we deal with it all the time and I think when you have some of the local officials later today we've all had to work under the Stafford act because that's what we do hurricanes tornadoes floods etc for me specifically as Governor the Stafford act expressly says that the efforts of the federal government on the Stafford act are to supplement State efforts under the oil pollution act there was an impression that the federal government was in charge under the unified command that they told everybody what to do and that not only is contrary to the US Constitution and bad law but it also didn't work I mean it we our people were much better able to do things than the federal people were able to do well let me just Stafford Act is perfect though as I said I I know but let me just had had the federal government recognized your jurisdiction under the Stafford act tell me how that would have been more a more of a positive uh sit situation or solution for you where it really became very apparent we had a defense plan to defend our Shores from oil again different from Louisiana because we we were 100 miles away we recruit 1,00 quote vessels of opportunity those were people who were willing to rent their votes paid for by BP BP never Flinch it paying for this to put them out and essentially form picket lines to try to spot the oil south of the Barry Islands between the Barry islands in the sound okay so we had a actually a five layer defense we found out weeks into that the Coast Guard had no way of managing that they had approved the plan they had no way of managing that we literally sent people to Walmart to buy radios uh we had a situation where our Air National Guard starting 4:00 every morning flew and did infr read photography of the whole sound and out and south of the sound to find the oil the Coast Guard had no way to tell the vessels of opportunity where to go we had to set up a whole Communication System uh and and a command and control system which we did not do for weeks because we thought the Coast Guard knew more about this and we did but it turned out that we had to set up the communication system we had to set up the command and control system and and and frankly they were Cooperative when when it got to it that but should have never come to that we were lucky that This Disaster was manageable enough that you could make those kinds of mistakes and still clean them up thank you Mr chairman thank you Governor uh would the gentleman yield the remaining time uh be happy oh I'm sorry you were over I was over but I'll be glad to no no no we do not yield the other side of the remaining time with that I recognize the gentle lady from New York Miss Maloney for five minutes I thank uh the chairman for recognizing me and welcome uh Governor welcome representative it's uh very good to see you again thank you B thank you for being here uh Governor the the government accountability office the nine nonpartisan bipartisan uh unit uh uh issued uh and I believe they're going to be testifying later on today on a panel uh they issued several reports uh warning that taxpayers are not receiving a just or Fair return for oil and gas leases in the Gulf of Mexico uh specifically the GAO report uh faulted the so-called royalty relief uh granted by Congress in the mid 1990s when gas and oil companies were not doing as well as they are today uh but they encouraged additional exploration at the time when oil and GL gas were were lower and under some of these leases oil companies pay absolutely no royalties at all uh to the American people when they drill on federal lands and and this is oil that is owned by the American people it is on federal lands uh usually there's a a a royalty paid back to the government to the taxpayers but here here they pay absolutely nothing back and I'd like to quote from their report special lower royalty rates referred to as royalty relief granted on leases issued in the Deep waterer areas of the Gulf of Mexico from 1996 to 2000 a period in which oil and gas prices and Industry profits were much lower than they are today could result in between 21 billion and 53 billion do in Lost revenues to the American people to the federal government compared with what it would have received without these Provisions end quote um our chairman and in a rare expression of bipartisan support I want to compliment you Mr Isa uh for the significant work that you've done in this area and on this issue and uh you had called for an end to these leases on uh October 7th 2009 chairman Isa issued a staff report warning that actual shortfalls to us tax paays could be much much larger and this is what uh his report said and I quote depending upon the market price of oil and natural gra gas the total cost of foregone royalties could total nearly $80 billion oil and gas royalty payments represent one of the country's largest non tax sources of revenue taxpayers must get every cent that is owed to them end quote and I agree uh completely uh with chairman Isa and governor do you agree with with uh chairman Isa on this statement ma'am I can tell you that we're very familiar with this in that for more than 50 years the rest of the country has been sucking the G dry and we get nothing at the period of time time you're talking about in the late 990s all this production out of the Gulf of Mexico and the states were paid nothing zero nothing uh when when you drill on government land in Wyoming Wyoming gets some of the money but fortunately in the last Administration this was changed and we're going to start on a little stairstep basis getting a little bit of the royalty and ultimately Maybe by 2017 or something the states will get a legitimate fair share of the royalty so I am very sympathetic to the royalty owner because we feel like we are we should be considered royalty owners too and that the federal taxpayer and the taxpayer of Mississippi both ought to be getting a fair royalty for the production of oil and gas or if it's if it's coal on land or whatever uh I think that is absolutely the case but I hope y'all will please understand when there are only five states in the country that allow offshore drilling the other 45 ought to let us five who allow it they ought to let us participate as royalty owners too well uh the real royalty owner is the American taxpayer uh so do you believe that the taxpayer has a right to every scent that is owed to them under these leases and that they should be completely uh corrected as the chairman said and I believe the Mississippi taxpayer should share in that when we're dealing in the waters that are Mississippi Waters and are part of the outer continental shelf that's recognized as Mississippi so Ma I'm not arguing with your point about the federal taxpayers I just want to make sure the state taxpayers get treated as royalty owners in the five states that allow this it's not it's not fair for the other 45 states to burn the oil that we have taken out of our outter continental shelf and they get treated the same way we do well I must uh that was a yes that that state for the record though when uh chairman um Mary or ranking member Mary um has a bill on this that would correct it and when it came before Congress early this year as an amendment and several other amendments uh regretfully chairman I you voted against it and uh and I I feel that the same as uh Governor barar that this should be corrected that the American taxpayer is entitled to uh the royalties for oil extracted from um taxpayer owned Federal and state-owned um uh property and uh I I hope that uh you will join with us in a bipartisan way to to correct this going forward uh so that there is fair treatment uh uh to the states and to the government and and basically to the American taxpayers so I hope you'll join us we now recognize the gentleman from Oklahoma Mr Langford Mr chairman I'd like to yield my time back to the chairman for this I'd like to take it I thank the gentleman uh Congressman you don't have to remain since we didn't swear you in but you're welcome to stay you look good with the governor you always look good next to the governor that'll that'll look good I thank you did make a valid point but I think I want to follow up on your your point too today you're going to have an economic loss that will be unreimbursed as a result of the BP oil spill correct there's no question of that and is it currently stands right and so for the foreseeable future if there were to be another one you would potentially have another oil loss in which the federal government was able to get fines the federal government would I don't think we actually collect royalties on what's spilled into the Gulf but short of that we would continue from that particular rig that's not a a a relief uh one it's not covered by the Clinton era uh contract failures the fact is you you stand at risk without an ability to get any premium on that risk in the gulf and that's correct if it's outside well period we're compensated for for what we do so let me ask a straightforward question do you believe believe that from this side of the day is that we should look at legislation that provides sooner and more specific Revenue sharing based on the potential risk in other words effectively an insurance policy where you would have Revenue not for current expenditure but for contingent expenditure if you have another economic event like this well two things uh there is legislation that was passed I think in 2006 that is going to stare Step Up is going to give the states a share and stare step it up and and maybe by 2017 we I think you get 10% of the royalties or something yeah and and we're going to go up to maybe 35% or something uh but until that goes into effect and and I would urge yall put it in effect immediately you know go on and that's what we would like to see put it in effect immediately then we would have some uh compensation for the real we take right now the only way that I see that we can reasonably be compensated for the Damage Done To Us is if you take the Clean Water Act fines and they going to be Clean Water Act fines here potentially in the billions and that the states that were affected be given a share of that with enough flexibility that they can spend it to help their economy that they they not have to get the money and say we're going to use all this money to clean up from the BP oils Bill BP's already paid to clean up for the BP oil spill our damage is economic damage to tourism to the seafood industry not that the seafood was hurt just nobody buy it uh they wouldn't let us fish for it uh and then to the people that work in the oil and gas industry somebody mentioned the very sad thing that 11 people died on this oil rig four of them are from Mississippi now and this will this will was in Mississippi Waters but that gives you an idea sort of a reference that we have a lot of people that work in this industry and right now you know where they are I went and visited the Leviathan oil rigs 880 miles west of hia Israel I met two guys from Mississippi who were working on that oil well in Israel who had been working in the Gul of Mexico the year before and they had to leave because of the moratorium well we uh we certainly have seen a lot of those uh rigs sail off uh let me ask you a follow-up question now you mentioned the immediate following the too much control by the federal government and BP but Governor doesn't that continue till today isn't BP still in the driver's seat on a lot of things including compensation aren't you sort of in in a a backend ability to help your people regardless you know I'm not a I'm a recovering lawyer okay so I know that a judge has ruled that the Gul Coast uh C compensation facility whatever it's called that that that is not truly independent of BP and that may legally technically be right I think they are trying to do a good job we don't get many complaints in Mississippi they they're doing something that's complicated and I will say this about it it is sure better than having to litigate all this where people wouldn't get their money for years years and years and years and the trial lawers would get half the money so it is a long way from perfect just like what I do is a long way from perfect but I think it is better than the alternative of litigation and as I say we have cases that are difficult cases where people are not satisfied but we really don't get many complaints and we've been paid Mississippi company people have been paid about 340 $350 million yeah let's start uh and the gentle lady from New York has left but I uh I might note for the record that uh uh I still am trying to find a constitutional way to adjust for those flawed contracts that were signed this committee held hearings much earlier on it found that the oil companies thought they were going to be paying royalties and we actually surprised when they found out that the defect in the contract allowed them not to uh with that I'd recognize the gentleman from Maryland the ranking member for five minutes thank you Mr chairman um Governor Barber there's a uh there's a in the animal kingdom down in Disney World there's a saying over the animal kingdom and it says this it says we do not inherit our environment from our ancestors we borrow it from our children and in that light you know I read was reading your statement your written statement and it said and I quote uh the other major economic impact resulted from the moratorium on Drilling and I want to shift away from Broad generalities and focus on specific measures to prevent this kind of massive oil spill from ever happening again everyone uh remembers BP's repeated failures to cap the well it became clear immediately that BP had no idea how to end this disaster every week they would try new strategy but it was a complete trial and error Fiasco they tried the Top Hat by the way I was down there when they were trying to build the top but I actually watched them do it this was a massive steel containment Dome lowered into the well of course that failed they also tried the junk shot they injected golf balls and shredded tires and drill fluid into the blowout preventer but that too failed they tried sever more times until finally they tried the static kill they basically injected mud into the blowout prevor to start regulating the flow of oil but that all took 87 days and it was crystal clear to everyone watching that BP simply did not have the technology to handle a deep water blowout which I think is atrocious Governor I want to ask you about a specific requirement issu ued by the department of the Interior to require all companies to prove that they can cap a well before rece receiving a a drilling permit it's called ntl 2010 n10 and are you familiar with that requirement I am not familiar with that specific requirement cont all right well let me read exactly what it says it says each Oil Company must demonstrate and this is and and I quote this that it has access to and can deploy surface and subseed containment resources that would be adequately to adequate to promptly respond to a blowout end of quote is that and so Governor here's my question do you think this specific safety measures should be repealed Congressman superficially that's a reasonable statement that you have just made how it's enforced and regulated is something of which I'm ignorant but what I do know is we've had more than 31,000 Wells drilled in the Gulf of Mexico in my life this is the only time anything like this anything vaguely like this has ever happened and when you consider the amount of our domestic oil production that comes out of the gulf and comes from offshore drilling elsewhere when you consider the fact that we have an energy security a military secur security and a national security issue in this country because we import way too much foreign oil including a lot from people who are not our friends then I would not be in favor of anything that reduces the production of uh domestic oil I think the risk are way too small compared to what you give up so in other words um if this were to happen again if we had 87 days of allil spearing out into our Waters um you're saying that the risk of that far outweighs the economic situation is that and I'm not trying to put words in your mouth I want to make sure I understand you understand because I I'll tell you I saw a lot of what you saw you're talking about I saw I saw the Pelicans I saw uh I talked to the fishermen I talk to the tourism people I I even talk to the industry people a lot of them and you know what they said they said you know what and this was before we knew the full impact of it they said you know what we agree that we ought to have some kind uh we should have the ability to and it should be proven ability to cap something like this before we even continue well and I think beyond that Congressman it is very clear that this well blew out because Normal standard procedures and protocols weren't followed I don't think there's any question that Cor Corners were cut I don't know whose fault it was I don't know who the specific responsible party is but I don't think there's any question that that was the cause of all this and that is why I say the risk when out of one in 31,000 is worth taking when you're talking about something that's so important to the economy of the United States of America that's why I have that view I understand thank you thank you the gentleman the gentleman from Tennessee Mr deal is recognized for five minutes thank you Mr chairman thank you Governor Barbara for being here uh along the lines of the negative effects of stricter drilling regulations on the off offshore industry why don't we take a minute and uh have you expound on uh the effects that the Bureau of ocean Energy Management revenue and enforcement has U has been issuing uh well let me let me back up the the Bureau of ocean energy man management revenue and enforcement has been issuing a great deal of new regulations affecting offshore drilling have your constituents been in touch with you about these new rules yes okay and uh do do they find them problematic well the people that talk to us don't know all the details of the rules all they know is that the regulatory efforts of the government are shutting down the gulf have shut down the gulf I mentioned earlier I I I was in Israel this winter like in February went on an offshore drilling rig two of the guys working on the rig were from Mississippi almost every American on that rig had been working in the Gulf of Mexico a year before they had got run out of the gulf because of the moratorium and because of the belief the perception that the uh that it was going to be a long time before there was going to be drilling again in the Gulf of Mexico that's what we get people who've lost their jobs whose kids have lost their jobs who are worried about uh who are worried about this the service we have people who work offshore but we also have significant service Industries in our state that repair rigs that build service boats that work on boats and that so it's a it is a big industry in the Gulf South okay how about let's talk a little bit about BP's actions during The Spill and Recovery uh there were many officials and citizens that felt BP played too large a role in The Spill response and that the federal government should not have let him play this large of a role and that was a common criticism that we heard in the media at the time of the spill as well at any point either during the disaster during the recovery phase did BP have too much of a say in the response well no question BP had a big say in the response and they were paying for it but I had to take hress sometimes BP was easier to deal with than the government I mean that's just a fact of life that we learn that sometimes the federal government is not the easiest group to to do business with In fairness to BP for us everything that we asked them to do and of course everything we were asking for they had to pay for everything that we asked them to do they considered and almost every time they did it where many times we would ask the federal government for something like skimmers when we were trying to get skimmers we thought the federal government was going to have to was supposed to have skimmers for us when the oil got close enough turns out we had to go get BP to give us the money to get some shipyards in Mississippi to build the skimmers so we'd have enough skimmers so I'm not going to berate that part of the oil pollution act what we didn't like was the usurpation of State sovereignty by the federal government okay if you wanted to put on your teacher's hat for a moment and grade the response efforts of BP the Coast Guard and the Obama Administration what grade would you give each of them you know when you have been through the worst natural disaster in American history as governor of Mississippi it's it's you learn not to criticize people too harshly for unprecedented unforeseen n disasters natural or otherwise but they had a hard time uh they seemed slow to to try to get in charge uh we had the problems I'm talking about with command and control but I don't want to be overly critical because when stuff like this happens you make mistakes and so that's why I try not to assess blame let's just figure out how to do it better and I think that's very diplomatic and reasonable because no one can uh fully prepare for these we always learn and we try to make improvements and I I think that I agree with your statement one last thing on the seafood you said in your opening statement safe the seafood is safe to eat what about the reproduction and are the seafood stocks where they should be or is it too early to tell well we have had no evidence whatsoever or finding of anything from the oil spill that uh got into the reproductive chain you know we're we're not seeing fish with four eyes or anything like that uh but for a variety of reasons uh we we had a really great fall but with the fresh water that's being allowed into the Mississippi sound because of flood control on the river and the open of the Bonnie care floodway through the lake Pon train we're getting an enormous amount of fresh water into the sound it's going to kill all the oysters got nothing to do with BP but it's going literally it's going to kill all the oysters we'll have to rebuild the oyster B oysters can't get away the shrimp and the finfish they all run away from the freshw and it shouldn't affect them we have had some losses in dolphins sea turtles that are more than normal The Peculiar thing about it is we started seeing it before the oil spill just a little bit before the oil spill this started happening so nobody has been able to tie it but that is something we've got our antenna up about is that we have seen mortality rates among sea mammals uh and and sea turtles for some reason have been rising since last March or so thank you Governor thank you sir the gentleman time is expired we now go to the gentle lady from the District of Columbia Miss Norton for five minutes uh thank you very much Mr chairman um Governor I appreciate your coming I've listened to what you've had to say um much of it is reasonable for example when you say it's a lot better than having to litigate you have to litigate that means everybody's messed up so you got to have some impartial person um I also agree that you have blessings and curses in your part of the of the um economy the United States depends on much of your economy with the oil and the seafood there and they are sometimes at odds with one another so there's certain kind of risks that have to be taken I I take it you would agree therefore that the best way to handle those risks is to prevent them Well ma'am if you mean I mean quit drill quit drilling oil well no ma'am I don't think way I mean obviously Governor preventing an all bill I mean preventing an all bill that's right follow the right protocols and procedures so you don't have one start with yes sir that's what this this hearing is about it's about the oil spill um now the administration uh has focused on how to prevent it from happening again but it has been uh severely criticized for regulations that uh would apparently accomplish that it's been criticized for these regulations as to burdensome it's been criticized because these regulations would cost jobs therefore I was intrigued by what some of the uh from the very top of the oil industry uh is saying and I like your view on this um uh let's take John Watson who's the chairman and CEO of Chevron uh he indicates that he himself they themselves have a burden here but he says and I'm quoting now far from resisting uh those rules he means the regulations that are coming out our industry is helping to strengthen them the proactive uncompromising approach to safety is the test we should all apply to any company starting with our own in an industry that is always edging up against the frontiers of geology and Engineering here goes your risk point the best practices should be the only practices corporate responsibility does not end with meeting market demand would you agree with um Mr Watson the chairman of of Co with his statement as I understand the statement I would because I think what he's saying is as the chairman of a big Oil Company his incentive to among others is he doesn't want his stockholders to be out 20 billion dollars like the BP stockholders are and that he's going to make sure they do it right the first time and he is saying and what is what is what is really interesting in what he is saying is that the company not only supports the administration's and new safety measures but they are working with the administration to make them stronger he he does not appear to be fighting the regulations for which the Administration has been criticized I want to give you another example uh from the top of the industry the president of shell Marvin Odum uh gain shouldering his own responsibility but he says additional safeguards beyond what he himself would do must be strengthened across the industry to develop the capacity to quickly respond and resolve a deep waterer well blowout in the Gulf of Mexico uh regardless how of how unlikely it is that this situation will occur now you know that doesn't come from members of Congress or from from environmentalists that comes from the top of the oil industry and I just want to know if you would agree with Mr Odum as well I certainly don't take any issue with what you said I I because I agree with you about the importance of preventing uh rather rather than litigating as as as you said uh the only way to do that is to hold the industry accountable here you have another all executive aru arguing for more robust requirements uh to demonstrate uh the capacity to cap a well if there's a blowout I I just think it's important to bring out how the industry instead of fighting regulations Now is working with the administration for tougher regulations I think their concern Governor is that these regulations be across the board so some of them are not engag in spending more money to be more safe than others so if there are regulations saying all of you are held now to the highest standard given this blowout then everybody it seems to me in the marketplace will be on an an even playing field the Gent lady's time has expired govern I would just simply say ma'am uh these these companies uh have huge incentives to self-regulate we went from uh for 50 years with one well no occasions in 31,000 Wells before BP it's the only time it's ever happened and I think what the CEO of Chevron saying the C CEO of uh shell are saying is yeah we want to work with the company with the government we want to make sure there's rational regulation that's not saying every regulation anybody can think of is something that we're for in fact Mr Watson has been very very public in saying that tomorrow moratorium was terrible and was a huge mistake there's a difference between a moratorium and new regulations well it is a form of Regulation we're going to shut you down and while we're writing new regulations but so while everything that you said I am very comfortable with there are connotations there that I don't think we should take too far you know if the idea is that no risk is too small and no cost is too high uh I don't think any of any company in any indust indry would agree with that that we have to balance risk course Governor that's a STW that's a straw man that's a straw man the gentleman from Pennsylvania's recognized Mr Kelly uh thank you Mr chairman I would like to yield my time back to the chair I thank the gentleman uh Governor sir yeah that means he's giving me the time I couldn't see him I'm sorry uh I have no no shortage of questions and responses Governor are you familiar with the Marine well containment company no ma'am no sir sorry I was thinking about Miss Norton yeah no this is a different line of questioning uh the uh they're the they're the group that basically is overseeing a billion dollars worth of uh funds that uh were put were put together by the various oil companies so that if this happens again at one in 31,000 times they would have a whole different category of response does that refresh your memory did didn't know that by that name but it's the industry effort for for a post oil SP yeah I I'm familiar with the program not by the name right and it wasn't that billion dollars spent by the companies who had never had a significant spill in the Gulf I think exclusively right Exxon Mobile shell Chevron and kico so I just wanted to make sure we got that into the record there's another thing I want to get into the record and uh as you know Governor when you and I first met I was a businessman and you were a recovering lawyer then too and that was a long time ago takes a long time to rec Tak a long time to recover but the number you gave earlier was was meaningful enough to repeat it 1.4 million barrels per year seep into the Gulf approximately automatically right yes sir that is what the US GIS says and for eons the gulf has absorbed that uh it diffuses it it things eat it eventually It ultimately uh uh is part of the ecosystem well let's just go through the numbers here as a as a businessman who always want wants to figure out the p&l as quickly as possible the uh the federal government estimates that approximately 25% of that 4 point or the federal government estimates 4.9 million Barrels seeped in or were came out of the well into the Gulf approximately 25% or a little over 1.2 million were recovered that leaves us about 3.7 million barrels that got into the Gulf in This Disaster I'm not reducing this for a minute but let's just do the number numbers so of that approximately another 25% was burned off uh and another 25% was estimated to be dispersed using dispersement we all understand there's some controversy about whether dispersement so if you take the amount that was evaporated and burned off you're now down to about half you're down into the 2 point some million nearly 3 million barrels no matter how you look at it whether you take the whole amount or the reduced amounts you've got less than three years worth of oil went in in in one short quarter of a year period and you got about two years if you give credit for these efforts to mitigate is it any surprise to you that the gulf fish shellfish and so on is doing just fine when in fact this is essentially including the natural amount that's still coming in the Gulf this is about 3 years worth maybe total uh that went into the Gulf in one year that this is not such a big thing even though it's a big thing to us individually a big thing when it gets to your Shores Congressman right after the oil spill happened I when I say right in the first month or so we had professors and and experts who told us that the gulf would over a period of time for lack of a better term digest this that there are microorganisms in the Gulf of Mexico and I think in other places where you have oil seeps that eat the oil including Santa barbar California where it's that's right been coming short for years I think probably the first place in the country that it was ever talked about was Santa Barbara that they that they have oil that seeps through the floor there but there were scientists that predicted that the Gul would eat this essentially eat this up that those little organisms that's what they do and that there are a lot of them and that they would multiply now if you're in the the job in near the job ah head of disaster management you don't assume that's true so we never assumed it was true but it looks like to the Layman from afar that that is in fact what happened that the microorganisms were able to to manage this and maybe that wasn't totally unforeseeable because they do eat up so much oil every year two other things I would mention unlike Exxon vald this was light oil and secondly the water was warm Exxon vald is a water very very cold here the water pretty dying warm and the light cuts the benzenes the tulines the xylin the uh they all evaporate faster in that uh in that warm water I thank the gentlemen time has expired I recognize Mr Clay for five minutes thank you Mr chairman thank you governor for uh coming today to the hearing thank you sir Governor the uh National Commission report noted something that may seem obvious which is that offshore oil and gas industry is inherently dangerous but the commission also reported that accidents are surprisingly common that involve loss of Well Control uh here's what the report said drilling rigs are themselves dangerous places to work d with heavy equipment hazardous chemicals inflammable oil and gas all surrounded by the Open Sea environment far from Shore uh where weather and water conditions can change rapidly and dramatically the seriousness of these risk to worker safety in the environment are underscored by the sheer number of accidents Governor the commission report then says that there have been 76 accidents in the golf between 1996 and 2009 that involved loss of Well Control accidents and many of these accidents occurred very close to your state were you aware of these figures 76 accidents of course my state is an oil and gas State not just offshore and the drilling rig is dangerous I mean you see a lot of people who worked in the oil fields who lost fingers got hurt you know got hurt one way or another got burned I mean it's it's a dangerous thing the the accidents you're talking about though all turned out to be were managed they were manageable and managed this the BP Mondo well spill is unique but yes sir it's a dangerous industry and there are accidents that happen on Shore and off what do you think uh these numbers indicate that new safety measures were long overdue well before for the uh deep waterer oil spill I think the industry tries very hard to protect their people because it's very expensive when they don't mean and uh so rational regulation is something we ought to all be for we need to be careful of excessive unnecessary harmful regulation is my point okay fair enough Governor um some have suggested that new safety measures should apply only to deep water Wells because that's where BP's rig was when it exploded do you believe that shallow water drilling should be exempt from new safety measures the administration is implementing well again if you're talking about safety measures to try to prevent injuries I don't think that's what you're talking about I think you're talking about treating shallow water wells the same as deep Wells my only view is I would treat deep water wells in the Gulf of Mexico the same way as deep water wells off the shore of Brazil thank you for that answer um Governor Dr Harriet Perry of the University of Southern Mississippi's Golf Coast research lab identified oil droplets in blue crab larvi last summer uh this was the first time she had seen anything like that in 42 years of studying the species do you think think those oil droplets were due to the moratorium or the BP disaster if they had showed up in any samples that we ever took out of the out of the gulf I would have been concerned about them any Seafood samples and we're very proud of the Gul Coast laboratory of USM but uh that finding was never replicated or we didn't have S any Sim any similar findings and any samples that came out of the catch and that's why it hasn't that hasn't bothered me we uh we just have had no Seafood sample and neither's the federal government according to what theyve reported to us that had any kind of evidence of oil pollution on it well there now now Governor here here there are a number of reports of red snapper showing up with lesions in the Gulf of Louisiana state University Professor is fairly confident that these Legions uh are consistent with the toxic oil exposure and I can share it with you but here is a photo of the Legion on the red snapper uh do you think that uh that was a a result of the of the spill again Congressman if this was showing up in any samples of seafood taken by the government Federal federal government or state government I would be more concerned about it than when a college professor finds it in some anomalous place now but but you be concerned about digesting this if it were showing up in Seafood samples that we're sampling by the thousands between the federal government and the state government then that would give me real pause but we're not the fact that we're not finding it means that I'm really not uh I don't know what the professors are finding or or reporting to the news media well the gentleman's time has expired the questions been asked and answered we now go to the gentleman from Texas and please Mr fenal please do not get into this Texas versus Mississippi oil okay you're recognized for five minutes absolutely not Texas and Mississippi share a common uh bond that we both border with the Gulf of Mexico and are both deeply affected by uh what happens in the Gulf of Mexico both environmentally and economically I think you alluded in the answer to the one of your answers to the previous questions Governor there are other countries that are Drilling in the Gulf of Mexico in whose oil and gas rigs uh if there were to be an accident similar to BP or or even smaller would affect our Coast is that not correct particularly Florida right so you got Texas too sure sorry but yeah absolutely you've got you've got the Brazilians looking at drilling cubas offering leases just immediately nearby Florida Mexico for a long time has been exploring the Gulf of Mexico I realize you're only a recovering attorney I'm a recovering attorney too but I your recollection of law school us doesn't have any jurisdiction over any of those uh any of those drilling operations we can act every imaginable regulation in uh Cuba or Mexico or Brazil could say no that's correct I understand it so don't you think it might be a better use of our resources rather than crippling our domestic uh companies and our domestic exploration 25% of our domestic oil supply that we might be focusing on how to respond in the event uh one of these accidents uh or any sort of accident occurs again I do I I do think it's more I think it's appropriate the oil industry is doing it itself paying for it they know more about anybody else but it looks to me like we ought to be using our resources to have more American Energy that we need to get ourselves off of foreign energy and the best way to do that is to increase the supply and production of American Energy right and this has hurt that because this is a big source of domestic oil and the number of permits for new deep water wells which produce 80% of the 30% about a fourth of all our oil is down 85% the first year and whether it's coal or oil or gas or hydraulic fracturing uh we need to produce more American Energy right and so no and and no in your opinion no amount of government regulations is going to protect us from what other countries are doing well if we have rational regulation and that is good but to have excessive regulation unnecessary regulation that's that's bad and regulations like the and slowdowns in issuing permits I think you'd consider to be falling under to be a problem too of course it is and like Texas I assume Mississippi's seen significant uh job loss as a result of this we have though most of the guys have just left and are y'all seeing assets that have been based in your uh State moving into other areas of the world drilling platforms well we saw well we saw happen after the moratorium some of the big rigs came in for maintenance good time to good time for maintenance because you can't work but after the maintenance done they left and you know the way the industry Works those big rigs they go work on big jobs they're very expensive to move not only in cost of moving but opportunity cost they get paid huge amounts of money a day to operate them whether they will come back how soon they will come back is a very serious issue so we saw not only jobs L move but we saw the drilling rigs that produce the jobs go to Australia go to Angola Brazil so that's a big that's a big damage to us not just a jobs on the platforms but jobs in the service industry all right well and I appreciate you're coming up and taking the time to share your experiences with us and I know your time's valuable so I'll yield back thank you with the gentleman yield oh yes sir thank you sir uh Governor 250,000 barrels a day less are going to be taken out of the gulf if if more than a quarter of that is Mississippi relate econ economic related what does that do to your economy relative to oil in the foreseeable future that's the estimate it's undenied at this point for the next two years we get a little of it we get a little I'm not talking about the royalty revenues I'm talking about the jobs well it does have an effect on jobs we have a lot of people who work offshore as I said it's I don't mean this is precision but four of the 11 people killed on the rig were from Mississippi which gives you a sense of of the number of people that we have work in the industry on rigs in the uh in the service Industries we have companies in my state that manufacture drilling rigs that build service boats that that that that so that's it ripples all through the economy uh Governor last question isn't it isn't it really uh a question of do we get it in America or do we get it somewhere else isn't that really the gulf question today well if you look at when is the United States had reduced use of oil it's every time been a recession and so I don't want a recession if we're going to keep a strong economy we have got to produce more energy in the United States including oil and to go shoot the best Goose we've got laying golden eggs the Gulf of Mexico uh where we're getting 30% of our oil or we were and that production's going down now and it's going to keep going down remember oil production today is based on decisions that were made in the past normally several years in the past a moratorium is one of the few things that that has an immediate impact when we see what we're seeing right now with high energy prices the speculators are speculating the us is going to be producing less and less oil because they think the administration's policies will result in that so they're betting the price of oil is going to go up and then you take that with the value of the dollar which oil prices are denominated in dollars as the value of the dollar goes down then that's a double whammy for the people who are paying $4 for gasoline and the people that think you're going to deal with that by raising taxes on oil companies forget that they won't pay those taxes they're just going to pass it along to the guy who pumps gas into his pickup truck and and and so that's why the best thing produce more oil and I believe at the in the end of the day not next week or next month that's the best thing to keep oil prices reasonable thank you Governor Mr Davis is making ask for 5 minutes thank you very much Mr chairman thank you governor for being here thank you sir I've listened intently to your testimony course I grew up in the Mississippi Delta did you really on the other side of the river near Greenville Mississippi just a few miles and as Dick Gregory knows in Chicago we funly say that the only place where you will find more African-Americans from Mississippi is in Mississippi than in Chicago amen and so we have a tremendous relationship with the state itself and we watch very closely what takes place and what goes on I know that we're talking about the worst environmental disaster in the history of our country but as you indicated in your testimony it also has massive economic impact uh particularly in the fishing and tourism Industries and I I want to focus a little bit there according to the NOAA the total amount of shrimp caught commercially in the Gul decreased 27% from 2009 to 2010 the amount of shrimp C commercially in Mississippi was down 60% last year from the year before could you share and you've done it uh eloquently a bit more of the economic impact that has occurred in the state as a result of the oil spill the fish industry hurt very badly uh because Waters were closed federal waters were closed first Mississippi Waters were closed once we had encroachment Louisiana because they were closer to the West their Waters were closed very early as well and this is our this is principal Fisheries for us for for shrimp me we have big shrimp boats that'll go all the way down the Texas coast and come all the way back around the Florida coast but there are not that many of them that are that big that go that far so we have a lot of fishermen in the shrimp industry who whose Waters were closed to them their losses were mitigated by the fact that b was willing to hire their boats to be part of this vessels of opportunity program about 1,00 boats participated and most days we'd have five six 700 boats out there and they would be getting paid a some of them W made fishing but the processors got clobbered and so the fishermen are nowhere if they don't have processors and and so while they were getting a chance to be helped there was nobody who was helping the processors and without the processor there's no fisherman and so fishing was hurt that way recreational fishing which is a real industry in my state there people from Chicago who come down there and pay boat captains take them out fishing shut out shut down again they got some relief from the Vu program but hurt very badly uh so just in that just in that little small segment before you ever talk about Mot restaurants uh Louisiana to their great credit they have New Orleans and if if there's oil on the beach at Venice tourists still come to New Orleans are you confident that our Food and Drug Administration that our Environmental Protection Agency that the agencies that we rely upon to determine the safety in many instances of especially the things that we consume that that they are equipped to really give us the information that we need to know to feel comfortable and secure I have no reason not to be congressman and so I am it is a it's a it's a team uh state and federal but uh yes sir let me ask you other than perhaps um the lifting of any moratorium what else can the federal government do that might assist with the economy we know that the economy obviously was hurt badly we know what the economy was even before the Spiel what what can the federal government do to add further uh the federal government is is able to collect enormous fines under the Clean Water Act Now the federal government could assess those fines and through whatever process either by agreement or by litigation say BP is going to pay X billions federal government could take that and just put it in the general Treasury and move on use it to reduce the debt you know it might cover a day or two worth of deficit but we think the best thing the federal government could do is let some of the fine money and there's legislation in the Senate I believe to to let most of the fine money go to the states let the states use the money for with flexibility for economic growth there maybe that it has to be related to the gulf and the gulf economy but we're going to have people who were fishermen two years ago that are not fishermen today and they're never going to be fishermen again because of the capital investment and the cost we need to create jobs for them on the coast maybe at the Port uh maybe in Alabama they've got something totally different different maybe in Florida there's a whole different concept but we would like to see a significant part of the fine money being given to the states and the states allowed the flexibility to use the money to produce the maximum economic growth in the coastal areas for that state thank you very much thank you conman for asking I Thank The Gentlemen We Now go to the gentleman from Idaho Mr Labrador for five minutes hello Governor make I in Idaho obviously we don't have an oil industry so I don't spend a lot of time thinking about this but I think about common sense and it seems like there's a lot of common sense just lacking here and I'm I'm going to just give you an example you've had a colloquy with several people here in the panel I mean on on this side and and sometimes common sense just seems to lack in Washington DC the a couple of weeks ago or a couple maybe a month ago the first lady her plane was uh close to they they claimed that there was close to an accident and apparently she was within three uh miles of another plane and the regulations said that all planes should be within five miles of each other and apparently the first lady was within three miles and I I'll get to my point and I think you'll get it in just a second so the response in Washington DC was not hey gez somebody screwed up and they failed to comply with the regulation they should have been 5 miles instead of 3 miles the response in Washington was we need new regulations and it seems like that's all I ever hear about in Washington DC when somebody screws up when somebody makes a mistake we don't say hey that idiot didn't follow the regulations what we say is we need new regulations and it's just to me incomprehensible that all we can ever think about is is adding regulation upon regulation when The Regulators are not doing their job they already have regulations that should actually be enforced and instead all we ever talk about is making it more difficult for Industries for private Enterprise for individuals to live to survive so can you explain to me and I think you mentioned this earlier I think you mentioned that the Mondo incident occurred because regulations were not followed in fact I think you're word was that some Corners were cut can you explain that a little bit more to me what what you meant by that I can't I I can't site the regulator regime but in the normal standards and Protocols of shutting in a well it was clear from the reports at the time and nobody has denied it that they didn't follow the standards and protocols that the industry had uh had been using settled on and had worked with great result for a long long long long time uh this was widely reported and so it always seemed to me pretty clear why the well blew out and this was reportedly uh with again with nobody arguing this was a pretty tough well they had trouble with this well it had uh it had hiccups uh it had belches of natural gas that they had trouble with they had to shut the well down at least once during this so this wasn't a well to cut Corner Zone this was a big elephant well but they did cut the corners and and you're right when you say the issue is following the regulations we got now uh I can't improve on your statement so why is it that here in Washington we don't seem to understand this why why is it that we can't understand that we have regulations that can I think you used a number of we've done this in the Gulf over 30,000 times and this is the first time something like this happens C can you repeat that again you said yeah I mean it's been uh there have been more than 31,000 oil whales drilled in the Gulf of Mexico in the last 50 years or since they opened the gulf in our four states and uh there never been anything vaguely like this to happen Okay I it's just I think I I will yield the rest of my time to the chairman I just for the life of me I cannot understand what we can not in Washington DC just understand that if we enforce the regulations that are in place we will actually be able to have a good environment we will able to have good water we will able to have jobs and the economy will improve thank you very much thank you well you know I'm going to follow up on the gentleman's line of questioning because I think it was excellent Governor uh on the day that the Oil Well blew 100 miles off your Shore there were two mm Ms officials a father and son team that they came on reviewed passed and left isn't that so as far as you know I I don't know that but I it wouldn't surprise you I assume it's true if you said it well we know we're going to have the administrator of the successor organization to MMS up here next and that's going to be one of our questions is why is it that what failed before won't fail again and that's going to be a line of questioning is not just other new regulations but an agency that failed to ensure safety what has changed there so hopefully they'll be as candid as you've been well I I have to say to you I accept that because the 31,000 Wales I actually got from Janet Nano so I accept people in Authority statements of fact so I accept the fact those two guys were there I I thank you Governor uh the gentleman from Virginia Mr Connelly uh and by the way I had I didn't have to look up what huto was in your in your opening statement uh but uh uh it was interesting to see you using imported words thank you thank you Mr chairman where I come from hutba is a very common word um and I want to welcome Governor uh Haley Barber to to the committee and uh just speaking for myself I regret very much you're not running for president I think you would have added some good common political sense and a lot of good humor uh and what have humanized a process that desperately needs it so we're sorry we're not going to see your candidacy thank you very much go that's very gracious and thank you for your service um let me Governor I I was listening to your exchange with uh Congressman Burton and complaining about the negative media attenion and I as somebody who ran a very large County with 1.1 million people I can sympathize but on the other hand was it the bad media that caused a hit to the Mississippi economy or was it the devastation of the oil spill itself con we didn't have Devastation I mean the the problem was the news media took the very very very worst areas in Louisiana and they repeatedly showed that over and over and over and over and it gave people the impression that's the way it was all over the Gulf Coast they would actually have stories about Mississippi and pictures from Louisiana and you may not have been in here literally on our 80m Shoreline we never closed one foot of Beach for one day except on one occasion we had a high tide either right before or right after a hurricane missed us and it pushed some water over the highway and through a culvert and it pushed some oil patties up there and we closed that beach for more than we actually closed that beach overnight that's the only time but if you watch TV in Virginia you saw Los Louisiana and you thought Mississippi and Florida and Alabama for that matter and Texas were all the same way and that's that's what killed our tourist season yes common problem with the media sometimes in terms of images that's about Parson yep absolutely um when you look back now and and if someone gave you a truth there um do you you think in retrospect that the process for permitting and improving deep water Horizon oil rig was flawed for example it got a categorical exclusion under the process because the process allowed for that in retrospect was that a mistake the NEPA and and one other aspect governor and then please respond uh the NEPA process predicted under the NEPA review which was truncated that under the worst case scenario we were looking at 4,300 barrels of oil spilled and it would never reach the shore congressman and answer you a question I think that what we had done for 50 years with more than 31,000 oil wells with very positive results in fact nothing like this ever having happened I would not take issue with that I mean regardless of what we do occasionally you're going to have the bad outcome but we're not going to make people quit taking left-hand turns we're not going to Outlaw left-hand turns because they're a little bit more dangerous than regular driving and I really see this that rational regulation of this had resulted in 31,000 times nothing like now now this has happened one time does that mean we have to turn the world upside down and I think the answer is no Governor I would agree with you um I don't think we have to turn the world upside down but really my question isn't that that's not our only choice the question is could we in retrospect have tightened up regulation and been more rigorous in the review process such that and the enforcement for example get the blowout protection equipment that might have have stemmed The Spill uh or contained it I mean the you know I take your point that the devastation wasn't what was pres presented visually in television I fully respect and understand that but on the on the other hand at one point the extent of the spill on the surface of the water would have gone from my district in Northern Virginia Dale City all the way to New York City if it were superimposed on the map here that's that's eye popping and that's a deep concern to all of us and so all I'm asking is don't turn the world upside down but could we not on a bipartisan basis agree that in light of that experience it only requires one to create such environmental Havoc I mean this is in the category it seems to me of a nuclear disaster it only requires one to you know turning the left hand and having an accent God forbid is a terrible thing if someone's hurt but it's a very contained thing these things are not if if the Chairman's G that there were two government Regulators on the rig that day and if the reports that have been written over and over and over without contradiction they did not follow the normal protocols and they did not follow the standards and these two Regulators were on the well that day I think the congressman from Idaho's point is the right point it's not that we need more regulation it's that we need need to actually enforce the regulations in real life if if that is factually accurate I have no reason to think it's not Mr chairman would you indulge me just one to clarify gentleman's recognized for one more question I think just a clarification Mr chairman thank you do you mean by that let's have the full regulatory process that's on the books right now no more exclusions yeah I couldn't go that far because of my lack of information there may be some exclusions that are well founded that are like we see in many many other processes Regulatory and otherwise you know like you fill out the form if the answer to C is no skip down to F and I just don't know if those exclusions are of that type thank you governor and thank you Mr I think the gentleman Governor this may come as a surprise to you but I haven't had my round of question yet I'm going last oh I may may be another minority member coming but I'm going now I recognize myself for five minutes Governor uh I'm going to put up on the board uh a quote from secretary Salazar for your comment and I'll read it there is no question that the suspension of deep waterer drilling will have a significant negative economic impact on direct and indirect employment in the oil and gas industry as well as other secondary economic consequences that's correct but he did it anyway that's correct can you explain why somebody would know that it was going to hurt economically and uh he by the way he follows that up which isn't on this quote he follows this up by noting that there is a extremely good history of safety in your in the oil industry Mr chairman uh my own view is that the policy of the administration is to increase the cost of energy so that people will use less of it and therefore there'll be less pollution and Alternative forms of energy will become more economically competitive I've said that publicly thousand times so I might as well say it here when they did the moratorium that was my assumption that this was consistent with that policy and look it's one policy that works I mean we got $4 gasoline and gasoline in January 2009 was A180 something uh but that's what I took to be the rationale for that is to make these other other Alternatives economically competitive you had to increase the price of of oil and other traditional well it's certainly done that uh by the way the quote that wasn't on the screen is I am also aware that as a general matter the safety record for deep waterer drilling has been good I'm going to go to one more uh very uh a very interesting quote because the uh the next panel is going to be dealing with this last week or two weeks ago yes it was secretary Hayes was here and and told us there was no connection between high oil prices and domestic production meaning he was quite sure that if we drilled more here it wouldn't change the global price I'm going to take you to page 23 of an MMS report MMS it's titled MMS economic impact assessment at the time they were assessing and I'll just read it because a little hard to read that one they were assessing that at $75 a barrel which is where we were not our where we are unfortunately that if production went down by 84,000 barrels a day 84 million barrels a day that we would have an increase of about 47 cents a barrel now it went down by three times that now you're you're not an oil Speculator neither am I but it would not surprise you that if you went down if you got a half a dollar increase for such a minor one and if you decrease by three times that amount wouldn't you guess it go up a whole lot more than that $1 $15 a barrel could certainly happen if you took that much out of a a a limited economy and particularly if the market believes that this is going to be policy for a while that you're going to have a moratorium in the Gulf that you're going to reduce production in the Gulf that you're going to issue 85% fewer new deep water drilling permits that the market sees that is there's going to be less us oil production and while whoever said you can't affect the price of oil overnight well course that is absolutely true but if there is a belief that the us is going to produce less and less oil going forward particularly because of government policy then price of oil is going to go up one more thing I wanted to get into the record Governor you're one of the many states that are right to work states aren't you yes sir in fact every state in the Gulf of Mexico every oil state is a right to work state I I think all the states in the Gulf of Mexico I don't know if every oil state is yeah I'm sorry every California's an oil State we're not right to work but every Gulf uh oil state is in fact a right to work state that's my belief does it surprise you that uh that the policies of this Administration seem to be targeting the economic well-being of your area and I'm not not trying to say it's a big plot or anything else but it does seem like if 9/11 aircraft fly into the Pentagon fly into the Twin Towers the next day we're figuring out how to get airplanes back in the air and yet the economy the seafood economy the tourism economy and the oil economy of your States when you're suffering it seems like there's no limit to how long this Administration will take to have a moratorium to think about whether or not they can let you do something that's so vital to your economy well the moratorium was a mistake it was very harmful not only to our state but I think more importantly it's very harmful to the country and uh I I can't read what's in people's hearts or or what's inside their heads but uh I I have noted I and I had said it here but I think it is appropriate to say there has been an effort to raise taxes on the oil industry because it's a very profitable industry but it's every day here Governor it's interesting in the Senate bill to raise tax and oil industry the idea was deficit reduction to raise the taxes $2 billion a day I mean 2 billion dollar in a year the problem is that's half of one day's deficit you know you'd have to raise the taxes on the Oilers industry by a factor of 700 times more than that because two billion tax increase on the oil industry is equal to 1/ half of one day's deficit I mention that because it says to me that can't be the real reason I mean the real reason can't be to to touch the deficit because it doesn't even touch the deficit and of course as we know the guy who's going to pay it is the one who pumps gas in his in his truck so do I think there are some people who don't like the oil industry or think it's a good Whipping Boy politically I suspect that but I can't say what's inside people's hearts or minds and don't pretend to but I do know we wouldn't do anything about the deficit you know Governor I couldn't agree with you more that we can't be sure of somebody's motives although I can be sure that if uh if Wall Street were to cause an an economic meltdown that this Administration would allow it to be up and running the next day because they did the last Administration did this Administration we've had great disasters and great impacts in other areas of the economy but amazingly the reforms came after everyone was back up and running not before they were allowed to go back up and run Governor you've been very kind with your time we appreciate you're being here uh you're you're probably the most welcome relief to uh to us in Congress uh to see somebody who's doing the right things who's making the right decisions who's steering a course for your state and we appreciate your taking your valuable time to be up here today thank you Mr chairman MRK you Congressman thank you Congressman com we'll now take a 5minute recess to set up the next panel

hHz9JhrEu1Q	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHz9JhrEu1Q	Lecture 23 from History and Freedom by Theodor Adorno	history and freedom by theodore adorno this is lecture 23 and 10 means of freedom february 9th 1965. it will perhaps not be entirely unproductive for the problems that we are exploring if we were to ask a question that kent would undoubtedly have condemned as a genuine act of les majeste this question is what possible interest might the human subject have in emphasizing that his own freedom is a positive given it will then immediately become obvious i am well aware that such a psychological approach is a metabases ace aloe genos a transition to another kind but it will become clear to you why i resort to it it will then become obvious that human subjects interest in his freedom is narcissistic by this i mean that the suggestion that human beings are merely creatures of nature and hence in the last analysis automata as descartes in amalia are supposed to be is felt to be a major slight in general humanity as a species feels an extraordinary revulsion from everything that might remind it of its own nature or its own animal nature a revulsion which i strongly suspect to be deeply really related to the persistence of its very real animality probably one of the most intractable problems of kant's conception of man in human nature lies in his attempt to differentiate it differentiate it and together and together with it man's dignity and everything that involves and to market off from animality we can readily understand this interest historically if we picture to ourselves the indescribable efforts and sacrifices that it must have cost human beings in the course of their development to muster the strength to master their inner and outer nature there was only thanks to these efforts and these sacrifices that it became possible to distinguish themselves from nature and that this strength could be reflected back to them as a divinely gifted quality the quality of freedom it is it is a remarkable and striking fact that even though kant would have found such considerations in athema he was able if not to illuminate theoretically the secret of this interest in freedom the subject's narcissistic interest in freedom at least to let it slip out in passing this can be seen in a passage in the ground work of the metaphysic of morals in the section entitled how is a categorical imperative possible in the course of a discussion of the general of the possibility of a practical philosophy in general he expresses himself in such a way that what i have called narcissistic interest breaks through to the surface i should like to show you this remarkable passage the he that can't use is here is the subject as such significantly he at once identifies this subject as a scoundrel in order to show that even such a scoundrel needless to say the archaic sound of the word will not have escaped you that even such a scoundrel cannot dispense with the supposition of freedom but pointing to the driving force at work he gives expression to this narcissism in all innocence i hasten to add by such a wish he the scoundrel shows that having a will free from sensuous impulses he transfers himself and thought into an order of things quite different from that of his desires in the field of sensibility for from the fulfillment of this wish he can expect no gratification of his sensuous desires and consequently no state which would satisfy any of his actual or even conceivable inclinations since by such an expectation the very idea which elicited the wish would be deprived of its superiority all he can expect is a greater inner worth of his own person this better person he believes himself to be when he transfers himself to the standpoint of a member of the intelligible world intelligence intelligible world here means the world we can understand in other words the world of freedom he is constrained to do so by the idea of freedom that is of not being dependent on determination by causes in the sensible world and from this standpoint he is conscious of possessing a good will which on his own admission constitutes the law for the bad will belonging to him as a member of the sensible world a law of whose authority he is aware even in transgressing it the moral i thought is thus and i will for man as a member of an intelligible world the necessity that is described here to the consciousness of freedom is so peculiar because as something narcissistic that is to say as the mere consciousness of being a better person it is defined by can't in precisely the psychological manner that the anti-psycholo psychologism of the critique of practical reason ought to preclude but we are now confronted with a curious fact in connection with this tremendous narcissistic need to assert one's own freedom and sovereignty i believe that i am not exaggerating when i say that the impact of german idealism the political and also the social impact of german idealism would have been inconceivable without that element of narcissism but what is remarkable is that this interest in freedom runs in tandem with the opposing interest namely the denial of freedom i remember how as a child my parents were shocked to hear a housemaid telling me that i had to do what i was told and this doing what i was told was was presented to me as a sort of categorical imperative without its being explained to me why i had to do what i was told and in what respect i had to do what i was told of course this is the ideal of conformity that plays such a major role in bourgeois society and that was originally determined by the coercion of the market economy by this i mean that the man who produces for the market needs to adapt his supply to the prevailing demand because otherwise he will not be able to dispose of his products the idea was then projected onto nature in the shape of darwinist biology no doubt for good reason since you will remember that history is an extension of natural history and having been naturalized in the shape of darwinism the idea was reimported into the society from which it had sprung incidentally an intellectual or social history of conformity would be a project that would really give us an insight into the very heart of bourgeois society especially if we think of the theory of conformity as the dark side of the theory of freedom the two theories are corollaries of each other and between them they express the conflict that sustains bourgeois society itself this conflict means on the one hand that human beings have to prove themselves through the work ethic that is to say they are evaluated in a double sense in terms of the socially useful work that they perform they have to display independence autonomy and initiative in other words all the qualities that bourgeois modernity championed in opposition to futile notions whether those of beggars or of great lords these then are the virtues of freedom if the single atomized isolated individual fails to insist on his own being for himself and his own autonomy if in other words he fails to prove himself as a free being he will be punished socially he will fall under the wheels in one way or another on the other hand however the same individual must define himself as a being for others he must constantly mutilate himself because society as a whole is unfree because in its content society as a whole is a heteronomous thing as far as he is concerned and because he can only assert himself by this process of adaptation the difficulties the theoretical difficulties connected with concept of freedom ultimately represents something like an interiorization or sublimation of that very real conflict between the doctrines of freedom and conformity in bourgeois society itself you can find a vulgarized version of this in the ideology of the contemporary culture industry in my essay secondhand superstition which appears in volume 2 of the sociologica i have shown in great detail and this could easily be replicated with reference to the astrology columns in german magazines the two pieces of advice always go together and mutually reinforce one another on the one hand there is the advice stand on your own two feet use your own initiative take your courage in both hands and on the other hand keep in with your superiors don't be too cheeky don't make trouble don't try always to get your way the pieces of advice are that are to be gleaned from the stars which basically just reiterate what life imposes on human beings anyway merely attempt to strike a balance between the conflicting demands made on people between the morning and the afternoon or between or between the day and the evening in accordance with the two-phased temporal scheme you can perhaps see this most clearly in the dominant american ideology in what is known as the american way of living in this ideology we find cheek by jowl the demand for a rugged individualism that is to say the energetic unruly individual who is not afraid to use his elbows and on the other hand the insistence on adjustment in other words on the conforming individual at the same time there is a peculiar dialectic at work in which because force is at bottom the principal governing society the man with the most powerful elbows is generally the man who is also the best adjusted to society we may say and this is doubtless one of the reasons for the growing disenchantment with politics that the trend the general trend today leans heavily towards the side of adjustment connected with this is the fact that insofar as people truly are free and autonomous as i have already tried to explain to you in one of the recent lectures freedom over taxes them just as the insistence upon their freedom simultaneously flatters them or has flattered them in the past today in contrast we may well ask whether people are as flattered to be told you are free be proud that you are free as they have been for the past 150 or 200 years i should like to bring your attention i should like to bring to your attention of fact with which we shall have to concern ourselves if the process of societalization continues to advance and if therefore the elements of freedom that i've told you about are progressively swallowed up by the elements of adjustment then freedom and what we might call the impulses of freedom spontaneous actions will come to appear increasingly old-fashioned or even archaic this is not a superficial fact and that is why i have launched out into these conceptual or if you like general historical observations for it seems to be the case and i note this in the first instance as just one of the crucial themes of a doctrine of freedom that a certain archaic element is required for there to be such things as free impulses or spontaneous modes of behavior that are not triggered by reasons this stands in contrast to the entire philosophical tradition especially since spinoza limits and can't in which freedom free behavior is equated with behavior in accordance with reason this archaic element is a much older phenomenon one that i should like to call an impulse it is undoubtedly closely connected with memetic phenomena memetic behavior is not causally determined by objective factors or factors that are seen to be objective but involves instead an involuntary adjustment to something extra mental because of its involuntary nature there is something irrational about this adjustment that theories of freedom generally refuse to acknowledge but which is part of the definition of freedom this is something that i regard as crucial to what i want to say to you about freedom the more the ego obtains control over itself and over nature then the more it learns to master itself and the more questionable it finds its own freedom this is because its archaic uncontrolled reactions appear chaotic we might almost go so far as to say that while something like freedom becomes possible only through the development of consciousness at the same time this very same development of consciousness effectively ensures that freedom is pushed back into the realm of archaic memetic impulse that is so a so essential to it we might say then the situation with freedom is like that of so many other things in the world in the sense that the more it is translated into the imagination the more it distances itself from its own immediate reality i say this only to show you that what is at first sight a historical or psychological conflict between freedom and conformity is in fact metapsychological psych metapsychological that is to say it reaches down into what we may designate as appropriate to the prehistory of individuation as such the concept of freedom could not be formulated in the absence of recourse to something prior to the ego to an impulse that is in a sense a bodily impulse that has not yet been subjected to the centralizing authority of consciousness while on the other hand its trajectory terminates in the strength of the ego itself in other words it contains a conflict within itself when i speak of a dialectic of freedom i hope that i have been able to show you that we are talking of dialectic in a very strict sense that is to say of a contradictoryness that is integral to the concept we are investigating you know that can't and then post candy and philosophy makes use of a concept that really holds the key to the concept of freedom and that at the same time provides a starting point for post canteen idealism this is the concept of spontaneity when you read the critique of pure reason you make the acquaintance of spontaneity as the consciousnesses faculty for the activity of thought in other words everything that forms part of reason and the understanding is contrast to receptivity or in contrast to receptivity the ability to be affected to the passive qualities of sensibility i would ask you now to consider a question that goes beyond the so-called branches of philosophy such as epistemology metaphysics and ethics and that can justifiably be described as speculative this is to inquire what can't actually meant by spontaneity if you do so you will probably encounter a very similar duality in what he regarded as the most profound category of his philosophy to the one to be found in the concept of freedom as i have just tried to demonstrate in the course of my attempt to give you a history of the individual thus on the one hand spontaneity's active thinking behavior and as such active thinking behavior is something that can't argues at length in the data in the deduction of the pure concepts of understanding it is this behavior by means of which something like a unity of consciousness comes into being and with it the unity of the world thus this spontaneity is evidently connected to the ego it is the true determining factor of the fixed ego identical with itself it becomes a unity as the unity of the activity that it is able to muster but if you examine it more closely you will find and this is one of the dimensions of the critique of pure reason that have in general been very neglected that by spontaneity can't is not really thinking here of the achievements of individual thought if god forbid i were to solve some equation or other or perform some other mental act of that sort kent would argue from within the theory of knowledge that such acts were simply the achievements or efforts of empirical consciousness within an already constituted empirical reality what he understands by spontaneity is an activity to be sure but at the same time and this is what is expressed by the dialectical nexus that i've been trying to explain to you it is something involuntary it is something that occurs without my being too clear about what is happening in the depths of the human soul as kant phrases it in this schematism chapter the actual conceptual achievements by which i mean the achievements thanks to which the world becomes for me the world in which our experience has its being these achievements are not so much my acts in other words conscious activities but are more like objective involuntary functions that occur even before any particular mental activities have taken place within the world as constituted you can see this at its clearest in the very mysterious concept that represents the first stage of the first version of deduction of the pure concepts of understanding namely the concept of apprehension in intuition thus the fact that something is perceived intuitively and retained in the mind as a unified entity coincides with what is an immediate passive given nevertheless in his view this process involves the intellect because the postulated unity is a substantive one it goes beyond the merely formal determinants of time and place because it represents the organization of a specific perception into the thing that is perceived in it thus both things are involved in kant's concept of spontaneity it means both the simple straightforward concept of an activity and also the concept of an unconscious or as we might put it involuntary activity i suggest once again that you should do what is always advisable in philosophy namely to pay heed to the very simplest linguistic usage in this instance i would ask you to reflect on what is meant when we say that someone has acted spontaneously if you reflect on it for a moment you will see that this duality just does exist a person is spontaneous if he forms an action in a particular situation but we only call his actions spontaneous if it does not follow logically from prior considerations but instead has something sudden or abrupt about it we might even call it something indeterminate you can see then that this peculiar duality of ego and impulse which i can only imagine as something somatic something physical extends into the sublimeist reaches of kant's theory of knowledge and the incomparable greatness of can't i would remind you consists in his ability to give expression to such complexities without regard to any particular thesis that he wishes to prove simply by virtue of his fidelity to the facts of the case i should like to add just one brief comment on this matter you will undoubtedly find it surprising that post candy and philosophy post kantian speculative philosophy in particular in the development starting with vict should have given kant's own philosophy such as such a strange turn can't believe that he has succeeded in defining our acts as our acts simply by analyzing the mental activities of human beings as they are entirely in the spirit of english empiricism yet in the hands of post-kantian philosophy these acts became the acts of an absolute subject and ultimately of the absolute as such this absolute then turned more or less explicitly into the air of the god who had been overthrown by nominalism i believe that you will be able to see how things reach this past if you reflect upon what i have attempted to explain to you today unless you prefer to regard this development simply as a mere hypothesis a hypothesizing abstraction from the activity of individual human subjects what i have tried to clarify then is this element of feeling in our thought that our most profound acts or so-called constitutive acts are not those in which i am present as a thinking subject but then but that and it is thinking in me and that in it is at work mentally even before we may say that the ego has been constituted and this feeling represents an age-old at bottom archaic experience it is a feeling that makes possible the transition through which to constitute whatever it is that thinks in the individual mind as it constitutes our world prior to all individual thought and to constitute it as something not individual but transcendental by transcendental i mean not something formally comprises individuals but something that actually establishes individuation and makes it possible in the same way the concept of the transcendental contains a memory of the transcendent in other words of a consciousness that should be more than merely individual consciousness i believe that if you are willing to entertain these ideas they will give you an entry into the mysteries of the concept of freedom in which the extreme exaltation of the ego goes hand in hand in a very strange way with the abyss of the self but over and above that it will enable you to understand something of the motives underlying german idealism and in particular what is meant by the depths of the human soul it is here that you have to look to discover the sources of the concept of inwardness in its specific meaning a term that played a great role as early as hegel it is interesting to note that this concept of spontaneity is of central importance not just in kant but also in the marxian theory of socialism moreover both in marx and more generally in socialist theory it has the same dialectical quality the same dual character that i have drawn your attention to and can't for the spontaneous action that marx describes to the proletariat suppose is supposed on the one hand to be an autonomous free rational form of action action on the basis of a known incomprehensible theory at the same time however it contains an irreducible element the element of immediate action that does not entirely fit into the factors that theoretically determine it and above all it does not fit smoothly onto the determining factors of history on the contrary even though it is determined by these it seems to be a way leading out of them in extreme contrast to all mechanistic interpretations of the course of history you can see from this oh sorry period course of history period you can see from this how this curious duality of spontaneity has continued to thrive until it finally underwent the strange fate on the one hand of simply vanishing that is to say it to succumb to the blind conformity to dominant power relations on the other hand in the minds of all those who have opposed this development spontaneity has made itself independent in a strange way and has split itself off from reason as a protest against mechanical determinism through cause and effect and this protest applied to the presence of that determinism in socialist thought too in this way it came close to anarchism even though anarchism had been subjected to astringent criticism and socialist theory the greatest example of this protest is rosa luxemburg but you will also discover traces of it in the thought of jean-paul sartre even though he has long since discarded in the immediate application to politics thus to sum up this part of the argument the concept of spontaneity which might be described as the organ or medium of freedom refuses to obey the logic of non-contradiction and is instead a unity of mutually contradictory elements it points therefore to a strict conception of dialectic when i told you that the ego had conceived the idea of freedom for egoistic reasons this contained the idea that the ego has enormous difficulty in grasping the elements of its own dependency this is not merely a matter of psychology which strives to keep narcissistic traumas at bay because they entail a loss of self-respect but it arises we might say from the principium individuationist itself as the human subject separates itself off and becomes a single sub a single being and defines itself as a single being it must of course if it is to defend its individuality against others that crowd in on it insulate itself against the consciousness of its own entanglement in general in the principium individualists individuals or individual beings appear in a society that reproduces itself through conflicting interests and this reinforces their tendency to blot this out thus strengthening the individual's belief that he is merely a a being for himself you can picture to yourselves this remarkable connection between the semblance of freedom and what may be called the monotological monatological fail you can gain a clear idea of what is meant and i try to the best of my ability to make these speculative concepts a little more concrete not by means of examples but by focusing on critical points on contentious issues you can best conquer concretize the matter for yourselves if you dwell on a pathological phenomenon for a few moments one in which the ego becomes aware of its own nature as something determined in a perverse manner i should add i am thinking here of obsessional neuroses these are psychological illnesses in earlier days we would have spoken of nervous disorders rather than proper mental illnesses or psychosis people afflicted by them find themselves compelled to perform certain ritual-like actions without knowing why if they fail to perform these actions they are overcome by the most terrible anxieties and even physical pain i am thinking here of the sleep rituals practiced by many neurotic people in which they feel compelled to arrange their pillows in all sorts of complicated ways in order to get to sleep and there are all sorts of other comparable obsessions incidentally everyone has obsessions of this kind i believe that if you think about it you will all become aware that every individual has some obsession or other but they are not called obsessional neuroses unless they make it impossible for the individual to function properly in ordinary life or lead to really serious unhappiness but that is a relatively arbitrary distinction if you do suffer from such an obsessional neurosis the way it works is that you give in to the obsession and then defend it with a huge expenditure of libidinal energy even look for reasons often very absurd ones to explain why you cannot manage without performing the obsessive actions concerned but what these explanations have in common is that the obsessions are always seen as ego alien as psychology puts it that is to say you experience the obsession as caused by a dependence on something in oneself but something that ought not be there the significance of these obsessional neuroses is that they have at least torn a rent in what i have called the monado logical veil in other words they teach people that they are not simply what they are in their own intrinsic nature that alien elements enter into them that freedom is denied them in what hegel calls their native land namely the realm of consciousness and of self the feeling one has is that's not really me and this feeling that is experienced when you are in the grip of an obsessional neurosis has both something illusory and something true about it it is an illusion because the ego that we regard as something substantial and given turns out not to have an existence of its own but to be highly precarious and its vulnerability is deeply exposed by these neurotic experiences on the other hand however the feeling is true because the ego knows that the possibility of its own existence is its true being and it is against this that the obsession offends i could put it this way the human subject knows that the inner causes underlying his impulses are not part of himself and where the human subject comes across these inner causes underlying his impulses this realization collides with his own consciousness of himself and this too is the expression of the real contradictoriness of freedom of which we are speaking i should like to bring together everything that i have been telling you today by saying that the contradictions and antinomies of freedom that in cans view could be explained as the product of a wrong-headed use of reason are in fact antinomies that are inherent in the question itself by this i mean that in a very real sense we are simultaneously both free and unfree

V comes in with an advantage but I want to feel claron College may just be more pumped up for this one well this is a starting lineup for claron college Rosa Burell in Gold the back four of Rell Francis Romario Thompson Devante Hodges and tibo green in the middle of the park Theon Q DeAndre Gore and Kai Douglas who has 17 goals to his name as well as 13 assists up top Jamal Bud asley kahem Dixon of course with 28 goals and 16 assists and of course on the right hand side their number eight Christopher Hull with 12 goals and 14 assists to his name and they'll play the 4-33 but it's always fluent from them you expect them to go what I think is going to be important is that they play much quicker I suspect gleno will go with a 4-33 as well Antoine Gooden between the 64 for them the back four of Brandon Wallace O'Neal Headley Tavon Coleman and Ramon Francis in the middle of the park Jason White Denzel Watson and Kyle Gordon who has 10 goals to his name so far this season tajon Cummings with six orine Watson with eight and DeAndre Johnson their leading scorer on the right hand side with 11 goals the top three yeah and this is a team that really knows how to win already theyve won the Champions Cup and they feel they can have the measure of this clan and college team I don't think they'll take anything for granted it's not the type of thing where they went off and celebrate coach Pi said it was just one day and they and I the good thing about it is that we have the chance to see them one more time in the Olivia shield on Wednesday yes because a handful they were and more six goals to the good a statement as to say we are the best and they'll have a chance to say it against MAA beware the yellow blue jugernaut is back well tuned and he Rolling Along 62 the final score claron College over Glenn mure High a what a performance we have seen tonight they were pressing the L life out of Glen mure in the early stages of this one with lovely football being played Dixon starting out the drama pretty early in this one he was beautiful just Exquisite that was just one of three the first of three rather and if you question anything don't question his finishing and then you learn later his work with is also good they didn't stop running they didn't stop pressing look at this Cress from Dixon forcing the error we spoke about nerves at the start of this game Glenn M were rocked back Hull with the ball inside and then at the back post Ashley with a thumping finish yeah it's not an easy finish there the goalkeeper came and he had to keep his nerves just to but he went for pace and height a decision made in splick seconds there yeah you could see him definitely shaping up to go top the roof of the net dixel was on it started it looking to finish it but Ashley was good at that near post can't fult the keeper on it it was a good finish a call for calm but CC continued delightful stuff wonderful exceptional the boy Dixon from trenchtown to chapleton they celebrated that goal yeah that was a a really good goal he just weaved his magic there showing his Nifty footwork and just drop on the shoulder and then the Finish as we all know none better than him this season and you struggle to find better than him over many seasons in the past he was running for his life after every single goal but the trench toown boys weren't finished at all in this one look at this buildup the overlapping run spotted the delivering side no issues Ashley buo Ashley with the second of the night well that's a beautiful finish I said at any level you see that type of header and you have it top draw yeah really met it well goalkeeper no chance and the glancing header nestled into far Corner yeah you've seen that boy a blow down there is suggesting yeah nothing I could do well they tried to get back into this game they had to Cummings did really well and after all that confusion deflected across the line by Romario Thompson yeah Romario Thompson yeah and he honed it to he said off his chest nothing he could do about it it just came to him inadvertently and by the time he could react it was in the back of the net but immediately not too long after that K and colge says okay we change gear yep and look at how they changed gear I mean there are other chances but we only have time to show the goals and that was Sublime from galmore that was a rasping drive there once he cut inside only thing hides for goal and from the other angle always going away from keeper he swerved away from him and there's nothing absolutely nothing tinier was all he got J kept trying many thought it was too little too late and he did well Miller to recover and blast that one in had a goal on the bench and was trying to to launch the recovery for Glenn mure Clarendon didn't deal with the cross inside very well came off his head and he was quickest to react and just like that they were with him in three gos of claron college but the final demanded a hattick from kahem Dixon the run from outside the box the thrill and the execution magnificent yeah his second goal almost a replica of that one because he weaved his way through and he only had one side and it was almost like like a toe pooke in the keeper couldn't react in time but all you have to look at is the work before that finish Exquisite beautiful let's look at the stats they were pretty one-sided claron college with 23 11 on target their shots Glen M with 11 shots five of which were on target four yellow cards were shown in this one and you can see nine Corner kicks as opposed to none for Glenn M high and possession in the end claron college with 65% of it it's now time for the water man of the match and thank you Dwight I'm joined by the man of the match of this dasta cup final kahem Dixon of claron college he'll receive his man of the match award from Britney Roberts marketing coordinator of water all right thank you Britney thank you very much kahim let's have a quick chat you're Champion once again two years running now you're dancing how happy are you to be Champion once again happy very very happy tell my family that this one is personal and he display tonight so I'm very happy how do you perform so well in finals where does that come from come from the mindset from the day before the mindset to come perform in the finals all right congrats kah all thank you very much yeah kahe Dixon there two time D Cup champion now and he's a dancing man I'm joined Now by Coach Andrew PL of glenm coach it seemed like one of those games that just wasn't going your way and CC were on their game you started to fight back in that second half though what do you think about the game though I thought the worst possible start we plan for them coming high up the field um that's why we had two Strikers but poor decision to play the ball short into the middle of the field and that's the start they want because a r team they want to be a goal up early um second half a little bit more control even though it's end to end bu us a tough start and hard to dig yourself out in a final from there all right thank you coach congrats on the good season yeah that's Coach Andrew P there and we're joined now by the champion coach Lenny Hyde coach Kim said he was not leaving this place Kim Dixon said he wasn't leaving today without the dasta Cup trophy you guys delivered how well do you feel about that why I'm very happy I'm related I'm happy for the players mostly um this one is dedicated to Junior Samuel our trainer he's not here very ill right now so we dedicate this one to him the players were H bent and said I'm not leaving anything out here on the pitch today they work pretty hard from the start that's how we pump them up for this game and the last the other day make it a a more more hungrier this time around and you see how they dis played today all right congratulations coach go and celebrate with boys thank you per wow well it's going to be class against tactics you feel because there's no way but what have seen Verona yes they a good team going Toe totoe with this kindon college team could be a death sentence but who knows what tactics they'll go with but whatever it is I think both teams are well positioned to put on a really good game a classical game for that Olivia Shield I think it's to say that Mona with a solid defensive unit would not be as open which means that it's a challenge for Clarendon College to try and do something and also prevent Mona high from scoring yeah Craig Butler Butler the pragmatic coach he is will certainly not try to go H fora and he will play with his strength first a check then the [Applause] prize they are loving this moment because they feel it's [Applause] Vindication that's

QYZ72XH23UU	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYZ72XH23UU	TOP 10 Pumpkin Records & More amazing pumpkin history	so pumpkins yeah they're like that awkward kid who's all quirky and doesn't really find their stride until they're older but once they do oh yeah they're the coolest kid in town and if you're watching this video i'm pretty sure pumpkins have already fascinated you in one way or another you love pumpkins i love pumpkins we're people who love pumpkins and now the history of pumpkins part two amazing pumpkin facts pumpkins in literature literature has always been a great way to increase the popularity of various herbs and edibles and this is certainly the case with pumpkins shakespeare uses pumpkin's early name pompeons in his play the merry wives of windsor we'll use this unwholesome humidity this gross water pompeon well it's not the nicest mention but as they say any press is good press now i mentioned in the history of pumpkins that the first actual use of the word pumpkin in print was in cinderella but so you're clear this wasn't from the brother's grim telling of the classic tale it was first found in 1697 in charles parole's cinderella or the little glass slipper which was the first version to actually use the fairy godmother turning a pumpkin into a carriage one of the earliest recipes for pumpkin pie was in john jocelyn's book an account of two voyages to new england and while it's a pumpkin pie he describes that it needs to taste tart like an apple much later pumpkins got another big push thanks to washington irving's the legend of sleepy hollow and do we even need to mention the impact charles schultz's it's the great pumpkin charlie brown has had it was pretty obvious the prime pumpkin now the most common type of pumpkin you'll find these days is the connecticut field pumpkin now of this type of pumpkin there is a specific varietal developed from a man from massachusetts named john howden and why is this important well good old johnny boy had been growing pumpkins since the 1940s but one year a seed salesman was curious about where john was getting these remarkable new pumpkins he is growing the answer was he had actually bought the seeds from that same seed salesman over the years howden had taken these seeds and developed them into a new type of pumpkin which became known in 1977 as the howden pumpkin thanks to the plant variety protection patent yes that's a real thing and to this day the howden pumpkin is the one most commonly used for pumpkin carving on halloween ooh it's time for amazing pumpkin facts pumpkins are now grown on every continent except antarctica yeah it's kind of hard to grow things on ice morton illinois calls itself the pumpkin capital of the world and with good reason as illinois is one of the top producers of pumpkins in the world and morton is also home to one of the pumpkin industry's biggest producers the libby's corporation which is responsible for about 80 percent of all canned pumpkins on the earth most pumpkins are over 90 percent water making them one of the highest water content fruits available pumpkins are also very seasonal with about 80 percent of pumpkins grown being available only around october and now for something completely different the annual pumpkin chunkin world championships has teams launching pumpkins incredible distances the world record is currently just under one mile but wait you think that's it ah there's a truckload of other pumpkin records too the guinness book of pumpkin records lots of people like to talk about the world's heaviest pumpkin which is just over breaking news this just in the record was just broken in 2021 by almost 100 pounds coming in now at 2702 pounds or how about the world's largest pumpkin pie on record at over 3 699 pounds that's a big pack but guinness has a variety of other records that are equally weird and amazing there are various records for the longest line of pumpkins and the longest line of carved pumpkins the largest pumpkin sculpture was of a zombie apocalypse and it is truly mind-blowing similar to the pumpkin chunkin world championships the farthest distance to fire a pumpkin came in at just over one mile there are also a variety of records for carving pumpkins the most pumpkins smashed in one minute but the funniest and i'd say funnest records as well go to the pumpkin boat racing yes this is a thing and it's serious business we have the longest journey by pumpkin boat the fastest to go 100 meters by a pumpkin and then there is the longest running pumpkin boat race the pumpkin regatta and parade which has been held annually since 1999 in windsor canada but if you want a truly epic display then look no further than the record for the most carved and lit pumpkins displayed which was officially set in 2013 in keene new hampshire it was a whopping 30 581 pumpkins by camp sunshine in the life is good company and i wouldn't be surprised if we see them break this record again soon because the city of keene has already broken this record nine different times whoa that is a lot of pumpkin facts my friends what is your favorite story involving pumpkins let me know in the comments down below if you want some more fun history or pumpkin madness then watch either of these videos please be kind take care of each other and have fun sharing these stories next

mREEh83vAb4	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mREEh83vAb4	Celebrating 10 years of speechBITE helping SLPs with EBP seminar	we're just going to recognize the moment of turning 10 for speech bots and as with TBI Express and any other research that happens these things there is no one person who does who comes up with something like speech but it's a team effort and so the the members of this team comprised Kate Smith who has been our project manager Tricia McCabe NAT Monroe Liz Murray who spoke earlier Emma power and Melissa Brunner and our newest member of the team is Nicola shorten and we also have writers who have rated our papers raters volunteer writers network as well so it really does take a village to produce something like this and we did as Trisha said we built on the shoulders of South Bosh sock bite was launched in 2004 and I was on the founding committee of that and that is an interdisciplinary evidence based practice website for all acquired brain impairment treatment research but as we were launching that and we were working on that it occurred to me that there was no speech pathology equivalent so there was a physiotherapy one was called Pedro there was an OT one that was called OTC cur there were with us no speech pathology one so I approached speech pathology Australia in 2006 and spoke to Gail Mulcair who is still there a decade later and Murray Atherton was another key person who I talked to at the time and they agreed that this might be something that's worth investigating so they they granted us some seed funding and I poached Kate Smith off South but she was working on psych part at the time and I said I've got a fantastic project for you and she said yes so I'll talk more about Kate near the end this was the opening slide so in in may 20 2008 we took two years of development to get it to a point where we could launch professor Mark Onslow gave the opening address to launch speech Bosch and the website looked very different then I was into cloud cloud skies and blue sky and I wanted that the sand because I want to just keep our feet on the ground but I wanted to have their head in the clouds so I had this I thought it was beautiful but anyway it didn't it didn't stay forever so and this was what we were wanting to do we wanted to develop some kind of resource for speech pathologists that was based on sensitive services searches across a range of databases we wanted to list all the treatment studies that had empirical data and we only wanted to have trials where the population was about communication or swallowing or were at risk populations and so that was what we we developed some inclusion criteria for papers that would go on to speech bite so they had to be part of current or future speech pathology practice they had to be published as a full-length paper so we wouldn't accept a conference abstract for example the population treated had to be representative of who we would come across in the course of our speech pathology practice and they had to be a trial the trial had to include at least one intervention so we weren't going to include assessment studies for example we weren't just including just an observation of something it really had to have empirical data about treatment efficacy and we decided to include as well as systematic reviews RCTs and non RCT which were already included on Pedro for example an OT seeker but sock bite had brokered the way to think more broadly and include single case experimental design studies and at a later point we put we also put clinical practice guidelines on this website as well and while there are five generally accepted steps of conducting evidence-based practice we wanted to make it clear that speech bite was only going to help us access the evidence and we wanted to provide some appraisal of the methodological quality of the evidence to help speech pathologists with that extra step but we certainly weren't going to be giving the answer of how do you treat a particular disorder that was clearly still in the realm of each clinicians own judgment so the original speech bite website looks like this I still think it looks beautiful but anyway I've still got my business cards with the clouds on them you can their relics so so that's what we first looked like what we found when we started so this this is a slide before we because we've updated it so what we found was we kind of did a bit of navel-gazing and we looked at what have we actually got on speech posh and up until 2011 I mean this was the thing that was weren't we glad we put single case experimental designs on because they were taking off but that's what people are doing and that's a bit of a no-brainer isn't it because our CTS are expensive they're hard to do and they're not always appropriate for a heterogeneous population like the ones we're dealing with speech pathologists nonetheless there were more RCTs happening so we could sort of see that and and also more systematic reviews you can see when we first started they were hardly any so systematic reviews have kind of taken on a life of their own as well so that we could see single case experimental designs were increasing we also could see things were changing and you know if we sat down and did it again things will be changing again so a health telehealth was kind of new since 2008 technological advances in the treatment of speech disorders the words implementation science I don't think existed when we launched so focus on common culturally and linguistically diverse populations pharmacology I miss that so drug treatments for speech disorders that they're gradually increasing we were getting new diagnoses being reported in treatment studies so we had to come up with new search terms on our database and scared ratings so writing a single case experimental design we could see that there was so many of these papers and it was extremely difficult to tell a good one from a bad one so and it still kind of is so but there have been some methodological advances and this has really been led by the site by team one has been into in terms of how to write the methodological quality of a single case experimental design so the Robin T scale was published in 2013 so Robin tape led that work and I was certainly involved with the production of the Robin T manual which is a whole manual in how to write a single case experimental design study it was radically different from the first scale we came up with in 2008 and so that scale is now being used to be on neuro rehabilitation beyond speech pathology to education and other fields so that was one development and the other development was the reporting guideline describe and so this is basically a checklist for similar to the consort checklist where which outlines how one should report a single case experimental design study and it's been published in a journal x' at the same time physiology is one of them neuro psych rehab was another one it went into journals across all disciplines when we published it work so with all that background we've relaunched again I'm a favorite launches so we launched in Australia and we launched in the USA at a national conference and because we had a new updated website and Kate Smith once again led an enormous amount of work so it now looks like that which is better apparently so no it is it's better it was it was more up-to-date it was more upset we did keep the clouds you see there there there it was a much more up-to-date website and I'm not going to go through all the speech by website if you have never looked at it shame on you and go and have a look at it but basically speech bite remains freely available worldwide we have over 5,000 papers listed on there at the moment and more than 80 percent of the randomized controlled trials have been rated using the Pedro P scale which is a rating of the methodological quality of that paper where we're getting huge amounts of hits from all over the world and they keep increasing even though we're not really advertising it that much but our top 5 countries I think USA is now beating Australia UK Germany Canada but there are there are many others so it got incorporated into the speech pathology Australia see boss statement so that that means students certainly look at it which means we get these big by bimodal distributions of hits each year and when the students start we can tell because they're all starting to look up speech bite for their assignments and their clinical work it's taught in all speech pathology curricula across Australia it's used by evidence based practice networks and Asha we're collaborating with Asha and they use it to inform their practice portal over there as well so we've surveyed who's using speech byte how are they using it it's mostly being used by practicing clinicians and students what do we need to work on well people you can't get the full journal article of speech bars because of copyright issues it's a constant theme of people game I can only look up the abstract I can't get the paper one little window that's opening for us is these things called open access articles so as as funding agencies are demanding that we publish our work on open access sources that that problem is starting to be solved we're still noticing there's a lack of awareness about speech but internationally we've started a bit of a social media campaign over the last couple of years and we now have more than 6,000 followers so if I ever want anything retweeted I send it to add speech but because I know it's going to get retweeted to lots of people we also have a Facebook page these are to be to be done in the future clinicians still are looking for summaries of how do you do this treatment like what what's a what they had to do it the cookbook how do i how do i actually apply this so that is something to be done we have speech but that's the famous speech by newsletter so we have about 8,000 on our mailing list to get - each month with our latest additions to the database and I think another area just when I was thinking about where are we heading with this I think where clinic where clinicians will be heading in the next five to ten years will be how do we include consumers in shared decision-making by considering the the best evidence that is available and we do not have good shared decision-making aids in speech pathology but I think we could and I think speech I think speech part could help inform the development of those because we've done the hard yards of finding the best evidence in the first place so that's just another to be done we've had financial support from a range of organizations I have to acknowledge speech pathology Australia who still give us money every year the American speech language Hearing Association have been giving us funding Sydney Uni have provided I can't imagine what being kind support has been from them because the team has all been based here we had a lot of initial funding from the motor accidents Authority of New South Wales we couldn't have got started without sock bite they gave us nearly five hundred papers to start with when we launched we do get funding from the Royal College of speech and language therapists from the United Kingdom we did have funding from gild insurance and we also relied heavily on advice from petrol so we've had an awful lot of people to thank in terms of building speech pod and keeping it going but the big person that I want to thank tonight is Kate Smith and that is because Kate has been extraordinary she's provided extraordinary support in building speech part in maintaining speech part and in keeping us all focused and continuing to work on speech part and she's been all of those things and even more she's she is an extraordinary person in all the different elements that she's been able to manage so kate has sadly for us but happily for the faculty of medicine and health taken on a senior position on main campus and so she left actually fairly suddenly but she's still part of our team so I'm not saying goodbye so this is not a goodbye at all she's still part of our team but she's stepping back from being a project manager and we're slow helping Nicholas Shelton who is she still here see we've got to hang on to the Nicholas children starting to take on some of some of the roles that Kate so ably and wonderfully did and so I wanted to take the opportunity on the decade anniversary of this resource to thank Kate very much and come down the front I've got just a little present for you I think that's all I've got so [Applause]	Speech Pathology at The University of

W9L7ProMxHs	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9L7ProMxHs	Eight Stages of Dating (Relationship Space)	[Music] during the first couple of dates and the time between these meetups the days seem to rush by in a blur of passion and excitement we're so caught up in the thrill of meeting someone new that we can't even step back and process what's going on although we might feel lost in this whirlwind of emotions our relationships usually stick to a pretty common formula here are a few stages that almost all relationships will follow the first stage attraction our relationships first begin when we set eyes on our new partner although we haven't started dating yet we feel an undeniable pull towards this enchanting new person at this point you might walk up and introduce yourself who knows you might even start flirting dropping a compliment here and there and in 2019 this initial stage might not even take place in person many people meet someone new on social media or through a dating app the second stage learning more about them once we're attracted to someone we usually feel a desire to learn more about them sometimes we discover more about this person through conversation and sometimes we learn more about them after checking out their social media profiles better yet we might even ask mutual friends for more juicy details about this new person all of this new information helps us decide whether or not they're a good fit the third stage building comfort and trust in an article published by oxford's department of experimental psychology comfort and trust was identified as a major stage in all relationships this is when both partners start to let their guards down testing the waters to see if the relationship might be stable and sustainable in the future during this stage it helps if partners are honest non-violent and forgiving interestingly oxford researchers stated that physical touch is incredibly effective when it comes to building trust the fourth stage actually going on dates at this point we go on days regularly in previous stages we might have been a little unsure about our partners but now we've settled into a comfortable rhythm of dating and consistently enjoying each other's company as we date more and more both partners build a stronger connection based on mutual interests trust and attraction by the end of this stage we're comfortable with being vulnerable around them the fifth stage seduction according to that same oxford study seduction is one of the final stages of a relationship this is where we truly open ourselves to the possibility of passionate intimacy according to oxford researchers women need more time to develop this emotional connection when compared to men when we reach this stage we stop thinking of ourselves as singular beings instead we start to become one with our partners we feel their emotions and understand their experiences on a deeper level as if they were our own the sixth stage the honeymoon phase most of our viewers are probably familiar with this phase of a relationship in the first six months or so everything seems new in a relationship and this could be explained by scientific studies researchers tested nerve growth factors and cortisol levels of couples within the first few months of a relationship these levels were very high resulting in feelings of euphoria and reduced stress but when they tested those same levels 12 to 24 months later the levels had returned to normal this suggests that relationships are only truly tested after the honeymoon stage is over and the physiological love cocktail has worn off the seventh stage the doubting phase this is the make or break stage for relationships doubts usually start to creep in after a few years and making it this far is a real accomplishment but the biggest hurdle is yet to come you need to overcome all of these doubts if you want the relationship to succeed partners might start worrying about the unknown future their individual career paths and interests and whether or not their partner fits into all of this if it's not meant to be it'll become obvious during this stage in this current age of social media it's very easy to start comparing our own relationships to other perfect couples we see online this makes the stage of doubts even tougher to get through in 2019 the eighth stage commitment and stability once you reach this stage you're home free after many many years you're completely and unconditionally in love with each other you know each other better than any other person on earth and you regularly find yourself predicting each other's actions and knowing what to say to comfort your partner during stressful times most importantly you don't take each other for granted you're happy with the direction of the relationship and you might even start building projects and creating things together who knows maybe your family let us know if you agree with our eight stages of dating if you've

champs versus xbox champs introduce you to both teams lineups we've got noki franklin crew craze mazzamitsu and uh serve i'm gonna come serve i apologize i'm gonna butcher a lot of names but that's the ps uh team the xbox side we've got pina tribune uh volksi uh corrupt who's on dragon fruit i'm not gonna remember this so i apologize in advance and poppy so this has been long awaited this has been months in the in the making so i hope you guys enjoy it uh we're going to get straight into round one another quick note uh just about the rules so everyone is playing on a controller we're hosting this on pc so i always get a lot of questions like whenever i do console videos people ask me a lot of questions on like how i'm able to put playstation players and xbox players together uh or like console players and pc players together we're hosting this on pc so everyone is playing on pc but they're using a controller we're doing a best of three ranked rules so first to four and i believe the maps are gonna be oregon chalet and villa but we'll see we'll see what happens looks like bollocks might be trying to get like an aggressive peak here he's actually going to get a spawn peak on the craze right before franklin refrags though so that's vollex down not before taking out true craze though 4v4 but i would definitely say the playstation champs have lost a bit more than the xbox champs considering craze is down they've got no more clones for information they don't have that gone six and they're missing two nades now whereas volix has already placed his utility so the defenders aren't missing much in that trade ibm going for a very late reinforcement there narrowly getting killed by franklin who's going to get another kill on to corrupt nice shots by him 4v3 already for the playstation chance popping in the swing but gonna get taken out by mazumutsu nice shots by him or v2 now the playstation champs looking very strong so far franklin again coming in with a third kill on the round for him and gonna get a fourth kill great round by franklin able to just walk into the site and take out pretty much the entire xbox team also another thing to note um first off i apologize if i butcher any of these players names uh that's on me i'm terrible with names but uh also make sure you guys follow all these players with the links in the description i'll have their twitters or whatever their socials are in the description so make sure you guys go down there follow them these are all pretty cool people thanks to them for coming out and playing in this video it's taking like literal months to put this together so if you guys wouldn't mind liking the video dropping a sub would mean a lot to me but uh yeah taking a look at the scoreboard after round one we've got franklin leading for the places champs 4-0 already getting to 4k the first round absolutely huge round by him followed by mazzamitsu and volix for the xbox guys with only one kill definitely need to see the xbox guys get some more frags here this round so the xbox guys are playing with this mirror widow but they got to be careful of franklin's twitch drones but before anything happens peanut gonna get a nice capkin kill on to serve unfortunate for serve another captain killed by pina going absolutely massive with the captain traps oh my god two captain traps and we're not even a minute into the round huge kills by pina doesn't even have to lift a finger just gonna get two frags by the traps nokia gonna come down the tower or the main stairs right now gonna get taken out by peanut that's a triple kill for him i said the xbox guys need to get some more frags and pina is doing that he's gonna get taken out by franklin though he's gonna cool him off nice shots by franklin he's in a good position here to get a lot of kills if he's aiming like he was last round now it's all up to true craze and franklin in the 2v4 situation the xbox champs are looking like they're gonna take this round here they've still got the mirror windows up and they've got the elemines that poppy is placed down so they're in a pretty solid spot right now which one's coming in from franklin gonna try to clear some of that utility hopefully try to get one of these mirror windows maybe some elemines just try to clear a path gonna get some information with it so far though throw out some z pings for craze to play off of looks like they're going to try to do a freezer main split push so we're going to see craze try to flash out and allow franklin to push up some more and they're probably just going to try to do like a split push here going to be kind of hard for them to do so though as tribune is playing on this mirror window he's going to get the first kill onto craze followed by poppy with the kill onto frank franklin great round by the xbox champs got noki entering in from the big tower right now he's got to be careful though as poppy is sitting right here ready for him and she's going to get that kill onto nokia so that's a kill already for the xbox champs that's going to be sledge gone that's all their soft breech gone as well as the nades as a mitzi coming in together try to get the refract shots going out to both players both players taking heavy damage here about on the same hp three fires coming out from mazza not gonna hit so far though bobby just stuck behind this table doesn't know that mazda pushed in and that's gonna be the kill for him putting it to an even 4-4 not before tribune gets a nice 2k onto franklin and true craze nice shots by him on the alibi as it is one hp but serves gonna get a refract on to corrupt it is now a 2v3 olex is one hp himself so this is sort of close not gonna lie especially as service right here he might get the pre-fire he's going to 2v2 now as it is still pretty lit though they've got to play this safe you know trying to peek in where mazza is standing on the top of these stairs not gonna get anything though he plays the safe goes for the rotate hole instead tribune just holding white stairs they're not entirely sure where everyone's pushing from serve with a third kill on the round great shots by him he's low hp now though both players on the playstation side are very low hp tribune is still full hp so he's got the hp advantage here he's got to be careful though it's still siege one shot is all it takes to die playstation guys how to join them so they know exactly where he's at great peak by tribune that's the kill on the serve that's the ace down and that's also the diffuser down mass wants to win this round he's probably gonna have to go for the kill as i don't suspect tribune's gonna let him play it but it's not gonna matter should i be with a great clutch for the xbox guys and it is one to two now taking a look at the scoreboard three rounds in so far franklin still leading his team on the playstation side with the big five kills and tribune as well five kills for the xbox side leading his team so pretty balanced performance uh between both teams so far you see about the same amount of kills uh spread throughout each team so pretty close game so far all right so this is going to be the xbox players uh first round on defense i'm pretty sure uh unless i am getting things confused but i'm pretty sure this is going to be their first round here on defense so we'll see how they bear with defending the top floor looks like the uh xbox guys are gonna be trying to go for a big tower take so we'll see how this goes for them they do have uh where is he mazza in big tower they have to worry about it he's gonna get two big kills that's poppy and tribune down and that's gonna be their hard breacher as well as finka going away that's a gone six two nades and all of your hard breach gone absolutely amazing trade by mazda good shots by him four v three or the places you guys but holix is actually gonna go down wow it is a 4v2 now serve with a nice kill onto volix great shots by him all up to pena and corrupt now it looks like they're going to try to do maybe a big window in white stairs take we see pina on the big window here and looks like corrupt is making his way over towards the white stairs so we'll see how they choose to attack this here you've got to be careful because serve could try to flank the white stairs here he is playing in the bottom of main stairs so corrupt is gonna have to be careful while he's playing this they've also got uh where is he franklin playing close on the bunk here and i think we do see right now serve trying to flank the white stairs so rupp's really got to be watching his flank right now there's so many angles on the corrupt it's really rough for him taking a look at pina some shots going out towards franklin something i'm going to hit that's nokia going to be getting the kill onto corrupt with the c4 probably uh just throwing it onto the white stairs so that's gonna be an easy kill for him serve another kill for him on this round taking out pina it is two to two very close game so far serve is struggling to place the shield down oh my god look i'm like four tries but he's got it down now i gotta say though like watching these console players play and like playing on clouds on myself or not on console but i bought a controller just to kind of mess around on pc and play the controller and i gotta say it is hard man like if you look at my movement i look like an absolute bot like i look like a copper player and you look at these players play and i mean honestly it's kind of hard to even tell that they're on a controller in all honesty and their movement is just so good their aim is so good the recontrol is really good so props to these guys for playing as well as they are on a controller it's it's i mean honestly it's really impressive all right we see pina just trying to get these fluorescents in maybe trying to get this guy off the mirror window i'm not sure if you can pop mirrors that way correct me if i'm wrong but i don't think you can maybe you're able to them i'm honestly not sure i've never really tried i just figured you couldn't uh franklin and noki pushed up very far into bunker right now but tribune gonna get a nice kill onto mazza nice shots by him that's the captain going down i'm not even actually sure where that kill had happened at all right so it sounds like nokia just reinforced stop bunker so the playstation champs are gonna go ahead and give up control of bunker but they did waste a lot of time minute and 40 left so the xbox champs do have plenty of time left but uh the place of champs they do a good job of delaying sometime there franklin with a nice kill on to pena very nice shots by him tribune joining out where the jaeger is that's franklin franklin in honestly a tough position right he's gonna be forced to push into bunker a little bit of whiff coming out poppy's gonna kill him nice shots by her 3v4 now for the playstation chance but they're going to make it to 3v3 nice shots by serve who's playing on the pillar angle right now wow that's gonna be vollex dropping gonna get smoked out by serve nice shots by him a little bit of a uh preemptive drop there i'm not sure why he did that corrupt's gonna get the refract on to serve though so nice shots by him with that zof lmg we're seeing true craze just sitting on that door he's gonna get smoked out by corrupt tribune gonna drop and join his teammate noki though with the refract oh and what a nice shot by tribune with the hipfire kill gnocchi was about to win that but tribune said no nice shots by him with the hip all right and that brings us to match point for the xbox champs here on our first map of oregon if they win this we will go to our next map which i believe should be chalet unless these players change their mind and want to plan something else taking a look at the scoreboard here franklin six and three not the top frag though it's actually going to be served stealing that top frag from him seven and three and looking at the xbox side tribune leading his team seven and two man tribune is crazy uh he he played in one of my videos before i think it was xbox or just like console champs vs pc champs and he played really really good he had like a crazy clip on the cafe game that we played um absolutely insane player and we see him playing like he does uh in this matchup seven to two so great plays by him drew craze unfortunately dropping a donut the only one in the lobby bolex with the breadsticks so those are our two bottom players but they've got time to uh turn that around so the game's not over and there's plenty of maps to go still 10 seconds to go yo serve is struggling with the utility placement man there we go all right we just heard that the uh uh new jammer blocked out that flourish drone heard mute call it out so mute is going to be quite a bit of a problem for peanut this round we saw pinot last round was able to send his floor as shown in and get rid of a lot of that utility uh but not this rounds as they've got the mute to counter that this time it's like poppy just took a lot of damage he was in a gunfight with uh serve they're gonna do a lot of damage to her he did a little bit of damage to serve though but uh serve definitely made it out with the better hp so it looks like the xbox guys are trying to take above they've got most of the map control to be honest i'm not sure that really anyone is roaming that looks like all of the places you guys are actually going to be on site but of course the xbox champs aren't going to know that entirely because they don't have the luxury of wall hacks like we do franklin one hp i think tribune had just lit him up to one hp through the wall right there and he is in a tough spot franklin is bound to die any second right now oh try to run across somehow he's able to get through i think we just saw noki smoke out bunker to block the line of sight of volix so he was able to run across great play by them serve gonna go down though and franklin's still on one hp so the places you guys are not in a good spot true craze getting the first kill of this match uh for him bullocks with another kill onto gnocchi great shots by him tribune in a very very good spot you know if he just swings that's gonna be two kills for a tribute nice shots by him serving franklin going down true craze with the reef rack on the poppy bollocks with the reef rack on the true craze tribune pushing into the site that's gonna be mazda getting the kill but tribune gonna get another kill onto mazza and that is gonna be ggs the xbox champs are gonna take map one over the playstation champs here on oregon and we are going to move into our second map alrighty ladies and gentlemen we are loading into map number two between these two teams here and they decided to switch the map from chalet over to clubhouse originally they had agreed on playing oregon chalet and then villa but they wanted to change it up for this map and go to clubhouse instead so that's what we will be doing all right so the xbox champs has had to go to the downstairs bomb site for the first round the site looks a little bit not set up fully yet as there is no blue rotate into church just yet so we'll see what happens with that volley's going for a spawn pick he actually might get something here with that as well as it looks like someone is spawning over here i can't tell who it is it's going to be surf who's going to get the nice kill onto volix unfortunate for him that spawn peak is just too common tribune though with a refract of his own nice shots by him all the way into the third floor that's franklin going down and franklin so far has been one of the star players here for the places champs so that is unfortunate to see him go down so early in this round and who do we have all the way upstairs mazza gonna get taken out by tribune absolute terminator tribunals great shots by him and it's already a 4v3 for the xbox champ serve taking a whole lot of damage getting put onto one hp from that c4 as well so he's got to be really careful how he approaches this you know all he has to do is shoot him once and he's going to go down here d-pings going out to the floor they're trying to get some floor banks here and that's going to be serve getting taken out unfortunate for him those z pings inside of the kitchen are just too strong pina likely having a valcam in there and his teammates giving some call outs poppy trying to contest the main stairs push we see craze and nokia trying to push down to the main stairs right now and poppy being the main one to contest them pre-fire is going out a little bit of damage on to both players now praise that about half hp peanut gonna take out noki and it's all up the true craze in the 1v4 fina and tribune are pretty lit they've gotta they've got a thunderbird but it won't matter poppy swings gets taken out and pina with the deagle to finish out round one and that is the xbox champs taking it it's been a pretty close game all things considered so far but you guys want to let me know in the comments who you guys think will win because the game is not over just yet remember this is the best of three the xbox champs took the first map but we still could have another map ahead of us if the playstation champs win this one so let me know down in the comments who you guys think will win personally i have no idea i'm not very well versed in the console scene so i i honestly i couldn't tell you i've got no predictions i'm completely unbiased here but i will say that it's been pretty close and there are definitely some incredibly solid players on both teams here so i think we've got some good maps ahead of us franklin already opening up the garage just 30 seconds out of the round wasting no time on that true craze getting downed by a captain trap i can only imagine by pina pina just so powerful on this captain doing a lot of damage to mazda as well who's just trying to flee he's just trying to stay alive and listen gina 45 seconds into the round has already put two players on one hp and he's going for the kill on to true craze he's already got a kill one minute into the round he's putting mazza on one hb and already killed your craze and he's going for the second kill of the round that is serve going down pina doing so much work for the xbox champs right now absolutely incredible performance but franklin gonna get a trade downed by the frost map but gonna get a kill onto tribune nice shots by him did not drone properly enough for that frost map though so it is a 3v4 right now but franklin is one hp and mazza is also one hp there's still captain traps up as well as those frost maps so they got to be very very careful jon's going out to corrupt he's gonna take a little bit of damage but these defenders definitely have the advantage here all they have to do is shoot these attackers one time anywhere and they're dead noki with the only one that has any sort of good hp with another kill that's the third kill of this round from pena fourth kill of the round he's going for the ace but corrupt is gonna steal it from him absolutely massive round from pena did so much damage to the places or champs that rounds if he didn't get a single kill he still did massive amounts of damage well played by him definitely heavily aiding his team in that win there 2-0 for the xbox champ so far on this clubhouse game all right so it appears as if we have some sort of major ui bug i'm hoping that it doesn't get in the way of the actual round so far i think we're good but the uh overhead view is a little bit glitched out welcome to uh the rainbow six siege experience in 2022 ladies and gentlemen all right so this is going to be the xbox champs last round on defense uh at least on this side of the split we could go to ot and see them on defense once again it is the third site so i would say the playstation champs definitely have a better chance of winning this round but we'll see if they're able to actually pull that out i would love to see this map go the distance man even if we go to a third map i would absolutely love to see that i think it's possible i apologize for this ui bug i i know it's really annoying not much i can really do about it unfortunately and we don't have much time to rehost as tribune has a tournament soon so we're just gonna have to stick it out franklin great use of his utility every single round so far getting all three of those castle barricades up instantly 30 seconds into the round once again great utility work by franklin coming out from mazza not gonna see anything just yet though and we've got the other uh places chance pushing over from the cc side but poppy with a nice shot onto gnocchi before it gets refragged by serve great shot by serve to poppy she's gonna get taken down three shots by him d4 coming out gonna miss though get stuck on the wall pina is very lit right now about 50 hp so he's got to play a little bit safe right now especially when he's speaking surf who's got the ak that's going to absolutely rip his hp apart but serve his lit himself he's got to be careful that's going to be corrupt trying to leave and serve's going to punish him for that hina doing a lot of damage on to serve though both of them on practically one hp now crew craze really needs to think of boost and get serve his hp back franklin with a nice kill on to vollex mazda with a kill of his own on to tribune it's all up to pina in the 1v4 here he's gonna get one kill going for a second but he can't get it true craig's gonna shut him down the finka lmg is just too powerful i believe for a second i thought peanut was gonna clutch it out he had the line up there with the mirror window i think if he's a little bit more hp he would have had that great try by pina that's gonna be match point saved for the playstation players though the xbox champs not quite able to secure that match point just yet doing a little scoreboard check right now pina the mvp of clubhouse right now a massive eight kills and one death right now more kills than his entire team combined absolutely crazy performance coming out from pina looking at the places you guys we've got serve on top with three and three more of a modest uh scoreboard from the playstation guys uh pina definitely a standout performance here so far in clubhouse we've got noki roaming inside a bar right now and we saw i believe yeah pina trying to push in through the door here so nook has got to be careful as pina the terminator is trying to push in through this hallway and i believe we also see uh volix droning in from strip side so he might get pinched here z pings are going to go out and that's probably going to be pina pushing it off information as he was right on this door we're also going to see volix trying to push in through strip d-pings going out both players know where he is bullock's going to try to flank him through bar right now nokia has no idea and that's going to be an easy kill for volix noki going down and that's a 5v4 already for the xbox champs you know rushing over to the main stairs gonna take a gun fight with who is this true craze drew cray is taking a ton of damage and he's gonna leave go back to site try to get those thunderbirds poppy a great kill onto franklin nice shots by her frankly gonna get taken down that's the jaeger gone crew craze needs to get these thunderbirds i don't know what he's doing he needs to get healed right now he's trying to take a gunfight with pina but he should not be peanut already a kill on two um i don't even know who that was but true craig's gonna refrag and another kill by mazda nice shots by him i can't even keep keep up with all the action that's going on now mazda actually with a huge flank onto kitchen right now tribune dropped the hatch and just trying to plant bats with a huge flank he's gonna get two kills that's it down for mazza going for the third kill last player in dirt it's gonna be corrupt he's gonna be fleeing all the way back in the kitchen what an absolutely massive plate by mazda right now saving the playstation champs this round gonna get healed up like true craze should have earlier i don't know why he hasn't got a single thunderbird corrupt you're gonna try to drop this hatch right now take the gunfight onto true craze but he's gonna win that wow what an absolute insane flank coming from mazza also i know his name isn't mazza but it's a lot easier to say mazza [Music] or i can't even pronounce it it's a lot easier for me to say mazza so i apologize like i said i'm gonna butcher these names and i i don't mean to but i'm just awful with names so i apologize in advance uh tribune trying to get open this garage wall but i believe they have served who catered it but thatcher's gonna be up so actually interesting that thatcher was not banned um i actually can't even see the band operators for some reason i'm not sure why but thatcher is going to be in play i guess corrupt is going to throw might open the main cc breach right away nokia trying to go for a c4 not gonna land though not even any damage taken on the xbox champ so that's gonna be unfortunate for him as he gonna get taken out by pina who just naded underneath and just shredded him through the floor nice uh utility usage i you know here second aid going out but not quite gonna grab anything sir very very lit in the garage right now struggling fighting for his life right now you see tribune uh pina and who else was out here i think corrupt is all trying to push in through garage right now they're all just trying to kill serve he's getting pressured out and that's actually going to be corrupt killing him wow great shot by franklin and nokia going to get a refract onto poppy this is a crazy round so far oh franklin narrowly missing the headshot onto uh peanut all the way outside ibu and pina gonna push in through garage right now uh serve actually somehow was able to get revived that is crazy to me c4 not landing anywhere near where it needs to peanut with an easy kill on the serve nice shots by him we're gonna see noki trying to peek the wall but it's not gonna happen penis shuts him down the terminator oh my god 12 kills for peanut in this game so far absolutely massive performance i've been just trying to watch the flanks right now probably going to try to pick up the bomb here he might try to open up the wall he only has two pellets left they're gonna have to hop in through the window but franklin is to be watching the window hop in so this is going to be a tough round for the xbox champs to win you're not going to hop in but like i said franklin just watching that window so it's going to be near impossible for tribune to hop in he might have to try to push into the breach crew craze just holding a c4 waiting for it gonna throw it a little bit early not gonna happen but true craze with the shots on a tribune the c4 didn't work but the shots did nice round by true craze doing another little scoreboard check we actually have the playstation champs leading this clubhouse game three to two which means they have the match point all they have to do is win this round and they send us to map number three which i personally would absolutely love to see taking a look at the xbox side pina is struggling man 12 and three absolutely carrying his team wow it is a struggle on the xbox side right now hopefully they can pick that up we see a pretty uh even spread of kills throughout the places side that's what we need to be seeing on the xbox side we need to be seeing them get some of these kills uh so far it's been mainly just peanut going in and getting the frag so hopefully uh some of the other xbox guys are able to step up and get some more frags and we're able to see them uh maybe pull out some more rounds here wow so the left side of the wall here was actually soft uh not as stricy pretty often but it's a it's a pretty cool strat claymore getting put down in the drone hole there i'd be able to prone and shoot that to be honest now i think the reason they open this wall is because if thermite who is corrupt goes to see or goes to place a thermite charge on that wall um serve can one just shoot him and two you can throw a c4 and blow him up uh same goes if they were to place like a bonnet pellets on the wall he could just throw a c4 and blow them up so i believe that's why they're doing that you don't see that happen very often but i believe that's the reason behind it now is it getting a nice kill onto corrupt and i don't even know who it was getting a kill on to poppy though unfortunately for the xbox champs they're just getting torn apart right now the places champs look like they're in a pretty good position here to send us the map three tribune though as i say that gets a nice kill on sunoki great shot by him looks like the xbox champs are trying to rotate their push to maybe sort of a uh window take i i don't know it's kind of they're kind of in a rough spot in all honesty i don't know how a direct window take is really going to work out for them you see franklin with the long angle here if anybody tries to hop in through that gym window he's going to get taken out and immediately they also shield him that cc window we see mazda sitting on it nothing he can really do unless he blows it up but he doesn't have a c4 crew craze with a nice kill onto tribune and it is all up to pena we talked about how his team needed to help him a little bit but it didn't happen this round in franklin with the last kill of our clubhouse game gonna take him out great little angle there you know with this a frowny face in the chat unfortunate for him he did his absolute best w for peanut in the comments but that is gonna be the playstation champs winning four to two on clubhouse and we are going to map three all right after uh a lot of arguments in the chat between these two teams we have settled on border some of these players happy about it some of them not franklin being one of them that is uh very very not happy with the fact that we are on border i know that peanut is happy about it i believe he said this is his best map not to mention captain is ridiculous on this map i mean captain is literally absurd and we've seen pina play captain amazingly two captain trap kills within like 15 seconds of each other on the first map um he's absolutely crazy with captain so i honestly i cannot wait to see how he does with the captain on this map here yep here comes you know with these cap good traps i love this kaku trap spot i do them all the time uh unfortunately pina is he's actually trolling a little bit he doesn't have the elite captain skin and that could be because i don't know if he really plays on pc that often um honestly i could not tell you all right the captain elite captain traps are near invisible if you place them on the first uh two traps you placed on a dumbledore and cc they are literally invisible um and the door he just the door he placed three on i love placing them on that door like dude ah man i could go i could go on and on about captain all day on this map man it is crazy i guarantee you we're gonna see pina get a captain trap kill at some point in this game oh that's gonna be frankly getting taken out by volix immediately great shots by him with a little bit of a spawn peak true craze trying to go for the refraction he's gonna get it that's vollex going down good refract by true craze wow the wall in small closet is actually soft that we just saw a corrupt shooting through right there interesting decision to keep that soft i wonder if they're out of reinforcements they have two walls left but i wonder why they chose to leave that soft either way though a pre-fire battle coming out from corrupt and true craze right now no one really benefiting or hurting from it serve gonna get a kill before he gets down that's peanut going down penis still has those chakra traps up though so he is not out of this map just yet tribune with a flank right now this could be a deadly for the places of champs the window is prepped he's going to hop out that's a kill auntie king another kill onto zero that's nokia and mazda going down a walman coming out from tribune narrowly missing serve and true craze serve as just one hp don't stop shooting through the wall keep shooting tribune keep shooting praise of the kill on to corrupt i'll be getting a refract on deserve nice shots by her it's all up to craze against poppy and tribune that's gonna be tribune with the shots through the cc door though absolutely massive rounds by him on the jaeger well played uh interesting operator switch around we actually see volix on the captain instead of peanut i guess he wanted to go or the valk this round so interesting we'll see if uh maybe vollex gets some captain trap kills instead nokia is trying to push in through this vent window slash double door here but pina is sitting here just watching it lots of players on site actually just holding down making sure that people like nokia can't just walk in a little bit of damage from peanut on to nokia i don't know if this is something that nookie wants to peek i'm going to be honest that's a tight angle that uh pina could just sit here and hold well i don't know how much he really wants to peak that d-ping's coming out though looks like they might try to have franklin buck open above him right now which is exactly what they're doing we see actually two defenders sitting here inside of uh that little ventilation room they're gonna have to leave now as franklin is playing above them bullets trying to kill the iq that's on top of the metal stairs but he's holding a bad angle and serve is able to see him before volix is able to see him and that's an easy kill for serve iv4 now for the playstation champs lmi is going to be shot out lots of utility being cleared out by the places of champs lots of damage from true craze onto peanut that's gonna be peanut getting down we might see corrupt trying to get the kill but he's not gonna do it franklin wow there's just too many kills to even keep up with flawless round from the playstation champs absolutely amazing push by them just able to take above clear out the utility and have the uh below players just walking the site beautiful push by them you know when flawless rounds happen like that they're really cool to look at but i'm such a bad caster i can't keep up man like we gotta go to slower pace guys so interesting we've seen a castle come out from tribune so we might be seeing some sort of castle strat upstairs would be interesting to see if they're going to try to hold this it looks like they're going to because last rounds it seemed like the problem for them was we had you know franklin come above with a buck and just open up the entire floor and that was that was a big problem for them because once the site was cleared out they were able to just walk in sight and basically plant so hopefully uh with tribune on the castle they're able to hold above a little bit more effectively we see poppy and volix up here to help him out so hopefully they're able to hold that or at least delay some time uh mazza on the suppressed goku be dmr interesting interesting gun here by him uh would be really funny to see him get some one taps at this i think he's actually gonna go for a rush here too dokkaebi calls going out he's gonna fly straight in through this teles window doesn't even need to break open that double door smart play by him able just to hop through that the telus window not really make any sound and then bypass that double door i want to keep watching him i want to see what he's going to do but franklin already into customs taking out poppy she's gonna go down really quickly franklin trying to push straight into the bomb site here they're really missing the shots onto corrupt who is cade playing in the back of workshop right now he is playing for his life crew craze upstairs trying to kill the players that are in archives he can barely see one of them a lot of damage on the tribune not gonna be able to get the kill though as it with a good kill on to corrupt though nice shots by him franklin trying to do some damage onto tribune through the floor holes he is one hp now absolutely struggling frays up top with the diffuser so if they're looking to play he's gonna need to come down hurry with not a kill serve actually going to steal that from reserve with another kill as well uh in the 90 hall right now franklin in the sight pina with the kill actually two kills nice nice shots by pina right now how did he manage that we're seeing mazza prone on the ground though i don't know if pina's gonna expect it doesn't matter serve steals another kill nice shots by these guys um interesting round i i honest i couldn't even really follow it it was so strange it is two to one currently for the playstation champs they are looking to close this game out they do not want to be in this any longer it is one to one on map so whoever takes this wins the entire match up remember that take a look at the scoreboard we've got serve leading the uh playstation champs six to one three shots by him two crazed right behind him three to one and then for the xbox guys we have tribune back on top where he's usually at three to two followed by pina two to three so we definitely need to see the xbox champs get some more kills here and ironically the xbox champs are the ones that wanted to play border the playstation guys not so much uh poppy and pina really really wanted to play border um seeing how it was their best maps franklin did not want to whatsoever but he's not playing that bad so for this being their best map they definitely need to start pulling out some more kills here also just a little reminder if you guys have made it this far in the video probably means you're enjoying it so if you are consider liking the video comment down below helps out the youtube algorithm consider subscribing mean a lot to me turn notifications on if you have not already i post daily here on the channel so you definitely don't want to miss out on any of these videos true craze with the hgcqb what is he up to right now new barbed wire outside reinforce the wall into cc we see serve playing inside of cc as well interesting strat here by these guys who craze are you going to be able to pull off this sgcqb he's taking inspiration from me right now i know he is uh i don't know if it's going to work out for him though corrupt and poppy are on the balcony just waiting for miss wing they know exactly what he's doing poppy just trying to swing into true craze right now craze honestly can't really do much from this distance if poppy was to swing out entirely she might be able to die but i don't think she's swinging wide enough for craze to really be able to do anything so he needs to slow down on these peaks he's really not gonna be able to do enough damage to kill her with that being said nice kills uh by corrupt if i can find him on to serve that's gonna be the alibi going down and that was the player who was playing inside of cc to try to assist craze who definitely needs to heal up right now as he has already taken a little bit of damage from poppy roger gonna go down through craze how does he get away with it poppy is not watching the run out and neither is uh volix that's gonna be a kill onto the thermite by true craze how does he do it ladies and gentlemen an unprecedented kill by true craze mazda with the kill onto tribune we're going to see volex try to push up right now and true craze loss in the sauce not paying enough attention and forex able to just push up and get the pre-fire onto him wow either way though that is the hard breach of corrupt down no more thermite they are not getting that wall open anytime so it soon like they might just have to walk into the site we've got peanut repelled on the ventilation window right now poppy gonna get taken out vol vollex with a refrag bullish with another kill i believe that was penis who uh who downed him franklin with the flank right now the door is barricaded though so they're gonna hear if he tries to flank gonna run through the rotate hole into 90. gina's watching this though he's got to be really careful about how he attacks this oh he's gonna run across this could be the kill for franklin but it's not gonna happen volix is just too good very nice shots by him huge round by vollex uh true craze almost almost won the round for the playstation guys but not quite that thermite kill was absolutely huge what he needed to do from there was first off pay a little bit more attention the fact that volks was able to walk up like that um through two pieces of barbed wire hey that shouldn't happen but honestly he got that kill under the heart preacher he should have just fallen back a little bit tried to play on the door with that shotgun healed himself up a little bit but uh either way uh nice attempt by them it is two to two now all right looks like uh franklin is trying to go for a spawn peak here but i don't think he's gonna get anybody with it they're already too close to the building he's not gonna see anybody i'm gonna try to run away now probably a smart move as most of the attacking team are trying to push in through cc does not want to be trapped there looks like true craze is true craziness once again with the sgcqb the barbed wire set up he's trying to hold down this door again if he could get that thermite it would be huge i don't know if corrupt is gonna let that happen to him for a second time though i know he was he was yelling at the teammates there last round i'm sure of it after uh they let him just die like that uh hopefully that doesn't happen again we see four players from the xbox champs all set up outside of this door through crazy trying to go over the pistol one tap that's the vollex going down that's the osa true craze how does he do it going for the second kill onto poppy right now oh my goodness somebody stop this man true craze slowed down poppy is trying to push up right now honestly this is a a great time for chris to pull out the shotgun right there while she was uh tucked on the door oh who's gonna win this fight pistol versus led five my money's on the l85 but who knows the way true craze is playing right now tribune is right on the wall right now true craze pulled up a shotgun because he hears that poppy watching the cover though so it's gonna be hard for chris to swing out like that he's got to be careful how he plays this he needs to heal up as well he really hates using his heels man it's bothering me oh serve with a nice shot on the tribune great shots by him poppy's trying to throw some shots into cc man i gotta tell you the playstation champs have a very good strat for holding this uh this wall right now as i say that the corrupt of the kill on to serve it doesn't matter though because franklin is still playing in cc though it's still gonna be difficult for them to push up not to mention there's still stuff on the wall there's the wall still electrified they have to factor it which poppy's going to do now and then perhaps gonna have to run in and try to to thermite this but true craze she's still here finally gonna get taken out by corrupt not before doing loads of damage to poppy i think it was gonna come out and give a little bit more hp to her but that hp not gonna be able to get all of it back especially not when mazda comes in with the headshot onto poppy with another one on to corrupt pino with a refract though and it's all up to pina in the 1v2 franklin sitting on the cctv window is he able to clutch that peanut knows exactly what's going on he's got to pre-fire this easy kill for pina absolute terminator 1v1 now peanut vs noki both have the same hp gina's got the finka boost he could overheal here doki shot gave away his position my money's on my money's on peanut here isn't gonna be able to clutch it out no he's not able to nokia's actually able to clutch that round out it is three to two the playstation champs are leading what a close game for our last map good lord ladies and gentlemen taking a look at the scoreboard all right what could be our last round of this match here serve on top seven and three on the cane right now for the playstation champs drew craze and maz close behind him with the five kills looking at the xbox champs pina second frag but he is in first place with the four and four bollocks actually with the top frag on the xbox side five and four so the spread is definitely a lot better on this map than the last map for the xbox guys so that is good to see crew craze once again on this door with the sg cqb he's got both his barbed wire though and he didn't reinforce his cctv walls so he's got to be careful not to mention volix pushing in through archives along with tribune so he's got to be very careful he's only got a shotgun he doesn't have the pistol but i i wouldn't rely on it franklin trying to take some shots out to tribune could be a kill for tribune here if he plays it correctly ray is honestly in a great spot now just has to hold this there's actually two players pushing in franklin gonna get gonna get a kill on to corrupt one kill for two crates not gonna get the second poppy with the side angle in armory nice killed by her she's going for the second kill nice two kills for poppy that serve going down three b three what a close game that's the lake tribune oh no legion just able to get away that's a maz on one hp barely able to get away right there and he's gonna swing up and get poppy she's gonna go down that's the diffuser down as well 3v2 the playstation champs are looking to close this out franklin and maz are on low hp gina is still alive he could try to get some think-abuse out and heal his team up noki coming back upstairs potentially trying to go for a flank right now or just going to hold the east stairs i mean that's not a bad play at all ash is playing in the customs right now franklin just playing safe in sight honestly the positions by the places playstation champs are really good nades gonna come out by uh pina here could get a kill onto franklin not quite but gonna do a decent amount of damage on to him tribune trying to open up the floor and doing what he can now he's going to open up this easter as well he's got to be careful because doki was playing on these stairs and he still is he's just concealed here on this little corner and they don't have drones which they probably don't there's only 40 seconds left oh yes tribune's gonna get the kill onto franklin 2v2 nokia gonna go down with 2v1 now but there's only 30 seconds left and they have to drop the hatch and maz is in a great spot to deny this it's just mass left in the 1v2 nina last week a boost coming out gonna heal up his team as much as he possibly can this is the closest it could get but the captain traps coming out mass with a solid kill 10 seconds left jot's going out you know not able to finish it off going uh this is so close matt's actually gonna go all the way upstairs there's no way that nina can win this great attempt by him but ladies and gentlemen that is going to be the playstation champs taking it four to two on border and i believe four to two on our previous map clubhouse absolutely incredible performances from all of these players thank you so much to all of them for playing thank you guys for watching make sure you guys follow them with the links in the description remember to subscribe like the video comment down below and thank you so much for watching

yBpIvCq1K-Q	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBpIvCq1K-Q	Peak Oil with Simon Michaux pt2: Finland	he's looking worried okay all right greetings in the love and light of the one infinite Creator welcome to part two uh I'm Andre with Simon Michelle and uh Ivor laughing okay Simon you you had a question forever so Iva what would you like to say you've done quite a bit of work in this sector if you were to throw some questions at me what would they be well my biggest question is uh how much of the you know how you showed the amount of um minerals that are left in the world you know in different different sorts of things how much of that is a function of the fact that we've had these fossil fuels to dig them up you think about it you know these giant open pit mines Etc they have used an enormous amount of fossil fuels just to get these things so you could say we have them but then you know if as we know we've hit peak oil and it seems like we don't have as much of this energy and how much of it is going to be um accessible with less energy I don't think anyone knows because because over time like like 120 years ago we you had these deposits that were really small but really high grade like in the Medieval Era that what they did for mining was almost pure awe and so you could sort it by hand and and it was effective enough to smelt it out yeah yeah with just uh you know a Bellows but now we've got really really low grade stuff and we've we've dug up all the good deposits already and in fact the richest deposits are actually our cities our waste bumps but also our cities can we actually go and mine conventionally without fossil fuels I don't know because they're trying to actually bring on things like an electric truck uh okay um but there are questions like the performance of that truck for a short period of time they can match the speed but how long can you run and actually sort of carry all for and and so the logistics of what we're doing and can we actually then crush and grind such low grade or without fossil fuels I don't think anyone knows uh the answer to that um it might be the case that you you might end up thinking in terms of like a small scale thorium reactor Powers the whole plan and everything's Electric uh that you know you know uh so we I don't think anyone's actually done the work of what that would look like yet fossil fuels are the color most calorifically dense energy source we've seen right and so all the electrical systems and the power generation systems behind that they all work but they're not as effective right and so if if you've got to continue you might you know uh Bingham Canyon you know which is you know like point five percent great copper and that's considered rich now how much dirt do you have to shift to get one ton of copper you know uh without fossil fuels let's just say it would be an enormous amount of work and then the discussion would then start is do we rest you really need that ton of copper and then they would start looking at well in the post fossil fuels world most of what we built already is going to have to rip it can have pull down and rebuilt yeah and so you've got enormous amount of stuff around it so one one of the things I'm actually proposing the next generation of work is what do we do okay you've made the point it's not going to work so make a news plan smart guy is what is what I've Been Told all right you're really depressed us now fix it um yeah yeah some of the things I was suggesting for example is we re-established the old boneyards where you actually take stuff and you strip them of anything of use and the parts come out are then stored in a warehouse so we can use them and then they're actually sent off to a machine shop and you use all kinds of innovation to use them differently but to do that people people are the power source for that a group of guys with tools crawling over cars like they do at a wrecking yard right so if we were to do that and if transport becomes a problem contract the industrial system onto the train lines right yeah there's things like that for sort of coming out yeah I I know I've uh seen the train line uh issue come up or suggestion and and I do agree it's it can be very good uh transitionally but I think that we also need to do uh or think about at least our Canal systems um and like waterways because historically in pre-industrial times those were the main transportation routes and so if we just have you know good Canal systems while we still have energy uh then you know we'll be able to use them in the future and my thing of course is sale I think you can if you can get it to water flunk it into something then the wind will push it across to you know you can figure out a way to get it across to wherever but at much lower speeds so now you're talking about the rules are different but they're absolutely yeah right and and so the problem we have at the moment is everyone insists on using the same solution to to maintain the existing metric no one likes change we didn't get to peak oil so uh let's let's address that in November 2018 we did see a localized peak oil and it declined a little bit and then we had Covenant declined a lot in fact I have it here one I prepared earlier so share can I share I can all right so what you're seeing there is supply and demand and we oil this is crude oil now art Berman has put together a sequence of data where what we need to look at is total liquids now total liquids includes biofuels and Refinery gains so what they're doing is about 40 of the oil that's coming out of them oil products coming out of um United States is based in gas so they're using the gas industry to hold the oil industry in place peak oil probably was 2018 as in it's going to be very difficult for us to beat that but our idea of total liquids that keeps the ice system going is now being supplanted by the gas industry the problem is the calorific value and the energy return energy invest ratio for such a thing keeps declining and deteriorating for having to work harder and harder and harder just to stand still it is the ultimate Red Queen problem yeah and then you've got you know in the United States which is now holding the entire world up in the tires oil sector um we're not investing the capital to drill and manage our resources effectively they're doing all the easy steps to actually sort of get Revenue quick so they're sweating their resource in a way that they won't last as long as if they were managed more effectively so there's above ground decisions being made that are not terribly bright and so if we have economic trouble this year which I believe will then even that won't work out so well so is that peak oil we don't know yet I the way I've been talking is you could get to if we get to November 2023 five years later and it's still that way that's what Matt Simmons set as a as a definition and sure that's peak oil but all right that's Peak crude oil but what do we really mean is this how much gasoline has been brought to the market that's total liquids they've been performing a few acts of Butchery but in doing so they've been making life very difficult for any future production because they're scooping up all the short-term resources which means when we crash we crash really steeply right and yeah John Peach showed uh how it could happen because uh We've we've just uh gotten very good at pumping uh out the oil as soon as we discover it and so uh but the the areas we discover keep getting smaller and smaller and so we just like you know like pump them all out and then uh at the end it's uh it's a big way down oh and you mentioned energy return on investment and one of the peak oil people said that you had some new definition or some the YouTube all right so uh energy return energy investor is a great idea but it's really really hard to make sure you're comparing apples with apples right it's really hard and and there's been a lot of um flame Wars in social media in particular about what energy return and energy investment means and there's no consistent methodology so what I will do there is actually show you my plans um because because we actually do need to reinvent that as a um uh uh how do you say as a plan we need to do something better and if I can just find it here we are all right so uh you know it's just saying I started uh when I came to Finland A Five-Year Plan and that was about four or five years ago this is the development of the next Five-Year Plan which is a startup sometime this year and so I'm going to operate on five fronts which is the red thing and each each one of them it blows out into a mind map but this has developed new tools and develop new tools of analysis fit for purpose to map and model industrial actions in context of energy so to conduct a comprehensive energy return and energy invested study given the development of exergy and entropy I'm going to develop see if I can develop Exige into a tool where we can actually match map whether something's sensible to do or not but it needs to be in a point where people can use it because if it's so esoteric and so complicated like a thermal entropy you need a thermochemical simulation software to to show the number that's not that's not used yeah yeah it's got to be gotten to the point where we can use it and so instead of trying to actually make do with what we have I want to reinvent it because there's no agreement in the literature and everyone's flaming each other on stuff that is really hard to defend and so instead of actually trying to pick one and defend it Scrap It Burn It To The Ground build a new tool and to do it if I get funding for this I was going to round up anyone who can spell energy return an energy investors bring them to Helsinki put them in a conference room get them drunk and this is right how do we fix this right and and then from that we actually sort of a Meeting of Minds how can we actually fix this and uh because how do we actually include things what do we actually show for this uh and so thermal entropy exergy um I want to actually develop new characterization system for materials as they flow through the system at the moment we've got the same problem it's it's done in a very sort of blunt way and so yeah anyway so I've got a few of these these this is so amazing amazing very sophisticated uh so I had some some Finland related questions here so uh why have you decided why have you decided to live in Finland right so I left Australia because I was collecting information to show that the Australian mining industry was off the rails and it was just life was going to get increasingly difficult for them then the crash happened and they have sort of come back but they haven't addressed any of the fundamental problems so I tried to leave Australia and leave Mining and that was what industrial recycling was in Belgium that didn't work you know there are similar issues there the recycling world has its own challenges and problems that are actually not sort of discussed uh very much just as I was ready to come back to Australia with my tail between my legs because I'd run out of funding in Belgium the classy of Finland came up and there was the job for mineral intelligence and I went to the job interview and it blew me away that the management there were able to handle very challenging Concepts across the table I could say the word peak oil to them or hyperinflation and they didn't run screaming from the building wow I was impressed so um and we were able to have a Frank discussion around that and the mineral intelligence opportunity was to map patterns in the industrial industry that's related to mining but also everything it's attached to and actually write reports about what it means so imagine if either if you were actually able to be given a job to do what you've been doing probably on the side but then have the government wait behind it right that was the opportunity and that's still the opportunity because that instinct turned out to be correct and in Finland they have a number of signatures here that are not anywhere else in the world and some of them are quite subtle you never hear about them because they don't they don't uh uh try and sort of beat their chest about you know how good they are they tend to keep to themselves they don't tell anyone else what to do and they have a discipline and strength here that out socially now they're not perfect as a society they're very dependent on technology and everything that's run through a website and everything's optimized I've never seen a society so vulnerable to you know a degradation of complexity and everything's good everything's efficient everything is it runs and there's a system and they're very surprised when it doesn't run and you know oh what do we do now um so I I I read that there um have to look at the future and review it every five years is that still going on it's two if you heard of this before they've got a stockpile in Finland for everyone in Finland for eight months of everything that they need to survive wow it's not just food fuel it's Pharmaceuticals it's everything for eight months for for all ever for everyone so the government has this set aside for everyone set aside so what what it comes back to is historically uh relatively new country that got its independence only about a century ago and um there's been a few very difficult times that they've had to deal with and when they've dealt with them the people came together and they got behind their leadership and they went for it and and it was um they were able to deal with some very very difficult times through that discipline and because they were successful that discipline has been reinforced now they're not a social people you don't you don't see the same communities that you would see in say South America uh where everyone's very sort of loud and talkative and social they're very reserved very introverted um but they believe that they're making Society a better place and that everyone's doing their level best to do so so they tend to believe that um if someone's in trouble they will actually stop and help you all right right and so they they will naturally come together in large groups to discuss what to do there's a few weaknesses there they often don't take the initiative like the Australian culture they we love to take the initiative we're great at starting stuff not very good at finishing stuff oh okay and so here they'll take forever to actually discuss things round and round around in circles but when they finally start you'll have a 50-year plan 50 years later that plan will come to its conclusion wow and so you know um so so they they do believe in quality and you know getting things done correctly even if it takes longer in conjunction with the discipline to ride through hardship so everybody yeah well yes there's yeah there's a there's a movie actually out called that now which is the Rambo equivalent uh but um it every culture around the world has its pros and cons just like every location has its pros and cons it's really a case of how do you make do with what you have yeah what are the policies that you think has put Finland in a good position for getting through the Seneca bottleneck so 20 years ago they looked to the Future often they made a whole series of decisions 20 years ago uh that as Fortune would happen apparently very useful now like uh the nuclear power plant fleet was aging instead of waiting for the existing PowerPoint Pub a fleet you know fell over and broke they decided 30 years before that happened to actually start building the next series and so the next the new state-of-the-art power plant is actually coming online and there's um they're doing infrastructure uh stuff decades ahead of time so they're looking to the Future they also have built a deep underground geological repository which is the first of in its world in the world so that means Finland is now able to run a nuclear fuel cycle completely and safely because everyone else has been cutting corners well I I know um well like I've looked into the nuclear and the issues that I found in it uh well the main issue is the fuel supply because while this you know the industry experts like to say oh it's 70 to 1 but that doesn't include like Mining and refining and transporting um and then well yeah the other one is this or the back end of the fuel cycle or disposing of the stuff right or disposing like I know they they wanted to make uh a deep uh geological repository here in uh just next door to me uh but I don't think uh well well we we and the indigenous don't think it's a good idea because we have like leaky Limestone and uh well we we have some of the wettest area in the world you know we have a meter of rain every year um and so it would just turn into radioactive geysers but uh I know uh Finland is uh Granite so so maybe it's not so bad there it's rather um also most of the winter it's below zero which means you don't have much running water around you've got snow and when it melts it melts in a relatively short period of time so you can actually sort of manage things like close the door uh yeah we have rapid Frost freeze Cycles uh like yeah there's quite a quite a deep um geological uh area that's quite stable and they've picked out about six or seven sites across Finland that are all um uh suitable the Geological Survey was involved with that um and it it's granite and there are no water table problems because it's above the water table oh yeah and and so another the the alternative that I had found that seems like it could work is uh putting the uh radioactive waste in a pyramid uh nearby near wherever the reactor is that that reduces the transportation problem because they were going to be shipping uh radioactive waste from all over Canada to one location and well there's obviously problems if it falls over and stuff and uh unintended consequences right exactly and so exactly so so so they had done some research that the pyramid shapes helps reduce radioactivity and then from the heat exhaust uh you could put a what I call it a Thermal electric generator coming out to be useful for power generation uh question one uh question two if you don't have it under cooled water chilled water storage you end up with a a um you can actually catch fire right and so if you've got like a stockpile of radioactive you know SNF spent nuclear Fuel and it catches fire and a lot of that radio stuff becomes aerosol yeah yeah I was uh because I was that's that was one of the reasons uh because I was thinking it wouldn't be a good idea at least for us to have the Jeep geological Reserve because it produces the heat of 5 000 campfires so I mean it's definitely enough heat to produce uh electricity uh but uh yeah can you yeah yeah it needs to be in like small enough areas I guess small enough pyramids that uh or small enough amounts of waste uh that it would stay contained and not light on fire like you say you've also got the Homer Simpson problem where someone with a fat finger presses the wrong button and if you've got lots of sights across there you imagine your local Shire Council every single one of them had a stockpile like this and you only need one person to do a Homer Simpson and then you've got a problem without fossil fuels right right well well the idea was that because this is long-term storage for like 10 000 years that there wouldn't be any buttons that would just be like an electric electricity coming out I believe the nuclear industry if it actually engaged in some research and development like we really got behind the nuclear industry to evolve get to the point where it can do something sensible because nuclear efficient in its current form is amazingly inefficient like it it's the amount of energy it releases we're catching a tiny tiny tiny little bit the rest is lost right and when you're actually doing the assembly rods out uh you need you isotope uranium 235 uh and um if it's all mainly 238 that's not useful in in terms of the um the Chain Reaction so if you get to the point where the u235 is now being absorbed by neutrons you've got to get the waste out but when you do it's radioactive as hell and it's still got 97 of the fuel still in it and so uh if if we can do a point where do some research and develop on what we can sort of get around the inefficiencies within the nuclear industry where when we actually there is my thorium is useful is what's left over after the process isn't as radioactive for as long like you only need to sort for 300 years not ten thousand yes exactly yeah so yeah yeah because the research is what we were talking about is Let's Get Serious and innovate to a new set of limitations and then see if we can do something a bit more sensible with what we have which I believe what you're alluding to there with this pyramid idea I don't I haven't seen the idea but you know have some people who know what they're doing look at it like really really look at it and then you know if it's if it's sensible give it a go yeah but then yeah well I I have a nuclear physicist friend uh who works at a nearby nuclear power plant and uh so so I ran it by him and well he said it was possible but uh it's mostly logistical and political hurdles um so uh here okay I have another question what are you doing to help the Finnish people with the transition funny you should mention that okay so here's my mission statement I understand the true material flows in the industrial ecosystem and assessed in developing a post fossil fuel industrial picker system develop useful options for industrial planning and the bottom line is where it's at evolve into a position to be able to advise The Finnish government but also everyone else as it turns out from a position of data supported strength that's what I'm trying to do in my current position crazy and how I'm doing that is here right so we've got four points understand that the existing system is coming to the end of its functional efficiency fossil fuels and everything attached to it the proposed plan for replacement for the non-fossil fuel system is much larger than we think and it's probably not going to work and even if it did may not be strong enough because it's not it's got some engineering limitations 0.3 make a new plan but you've got to understand why one and two are happening and point four is the action thing is that raw materials for manufacture of technology and energy to Source power are the key to everything right and so evolve so things that are actually about to evolve on multiple fronts we're in instead of like like banging the same hammer right and going round along with circles which that work still needs to be done but there's now lots of people doing it I don't have to do it I'm going to move off on New Frontiers now and trying to do something useful because I'm in a remarkable situation that I give thanks to you daily that I'm actually in a very nice position where I can actually sort of provide value in in ways I never thought were possible while that is the case make the most of it how do I do that so um so I'm helping helping the fins in this context but I'm also helping them by communicating all this this whole issue where we can start to get their arms around we need to what what what's the real problems and there's lots of problems get your arms around all of them and see how they interact then there is actually mapping our true capability like what can we do about this know yourself and a lot of the things that we think we can do we actually can because we're dependent on others to do it if China stops talking to us right and they stop selling us that's so bad Hang on we're sanctioning them as well we're picking fights with the two countries that we're absolutely dependent upon yeah being punched in the face a few times but we still don't have a plan yeah right yeah yeah yeah you're right so what what's how's that going to work and so there's a few suggestions around that we can I do actually have we can expand that slide stack if you like right and then for the first time we actually have a real plan and the real plan has to be done in a particular order and then we cut the crap and we get on with it and actually do it wow cool um and so did did you have a succinct plan yes so I'm writing up a a think tank attached to all Baltic Sea governments actually formally asked me and they've asked me to write this and it's due at the end of February and uh the exact wording was something along the lines okay you've scared the hell out of so now fix it right right and so they've asked me to redesign the circular economy in context of the outcomes of my work now circular economy is not going to work in its current form and that's another discussion again it's a nice idea but it's a stepping stone to something else and there's something else I've put forward is the resource balanced economy but even that is part of a larger picture and so I've drawn upon a few things like biomimicry and uh some different ports like what does the natural environment do when it hits problems like this right and so instead of trying to actually sort of dictate a plan so if we're XYZ will happen that's futile and in fact you're guaranteeing you're you're lining yourself up for failure so when instead understand the problems that we face with and how things will probably go in terms of um what are the forces at work and what areas might be useful and what areas will struggle will tell us where we should put our effort now we know that all Industrial Systems rely on energy and in fact if you look you look at history Energy Systems have actually dictated what industry was available and where it is available combination of energy and our ability to transport large amounts of goods you know you know the Steam and rail era right and so if our energy sector changes everything else will change that's just a reality and so okay what energy systems do we have especially in the Nordic Frontier I'm I'm proposing that um Finland Sweden Norway Iceland Denmark and Greenland understand each other culturally and they might actually merge together in a series of off-take agreements where we're talking about an alliance between industrial clusters politics will become irrelevant what can you do right so this is what I'm now proposing and so um industry will reasshuffle itself reorganize itself around what industry Energy Systems we have that are non-fossil fuel right now and then they'll grow into areas that we might be able to make new non-fossil systems right and so so it's so energy first industry second and then people will rearrange themselves the population centers will rearrange themselves to go to where jobs are and that's industry well yeah I I have um kind of I live in the heart of Turtle Island um in George like the great lakes and uh in in my County it's very uh rural Agricultural and uh I have uh you know Ukrainian Heritage and we went through all those famines so I'm always thinking what about food and uh so my understanding is that um like so so I you were mentioning the Maslow's hierarchy of needs and so I think you know food is is one of those base ones and so uh we would have to organize things around our food and then you know industry would be kind of secondary would be the well I I think that uh if we want to live we will I'm putting forward the idea that all of this needs to be optimized and yes food is important if we don't have food there'll be no people there if there's no deal with this industry yeah it sounds like you're recreating the hanziatic league could be what what's that angiotic League was the whole Baltic and extra places and that was uh what was it part of Russia it was the Latvia Lithuania um uh Poland uh scanning all of Scandinavia all around the Baltic and of course you know if you get through Denmark and all those places kind of had a league and that became the big banking league and the big uh connection of all of Europe early on and they still are there foreign [Music] league is a big part of Europe I mean it still is I think it's kind of like you know yeah Estonia is very similar culturally to Europe needs a reason to be right it needs a reason to be to hold us all together and money is proving to be um inappropriate defense is proving not to work either what we actually need is raw materials and energy now someone actually asked me how big will the circular economy actually be because if every city is actually not capable of manufacturing all the stuff it needs we actually have got to have off-take agreements between cities right so now we're talking about how big should that be then then we get to exergy what I was putting forward before is you the idea of a Maslow hierarchy of needs but you'll go through a series of steps but in a loop you'd keep going and if you cannot optimize each stage then the whole thing's not possible go back to the drawing board so it starts with energy then it goes to our industry then it goes to people but then the Food Systems will have to reorganize around people with really short value chains and if they can't do that like this it's not possible to do that then the people aren't going to be there then the industry's not going to be there right right go around the loop again back to the drawing board what do we do so could could I just quickly give you a rundown of of my idea so uh it's dependent largely on the growing season so if say for instance uh you had a six-month growing window then you could do like two harvests or whatever and so you would need one hectare per person but say in uh Olu which uh seems to be the most promising uh place in Finland of the sub-region it's uh you'd need about two hectares per person um just for heating requirements but maybe with some efficiencies it wouldn't be so bad um and now you would have Villages so an average Village in India is about 300 people um and so where I live in in Gray County we have five months uh so so it's just easiest for me to remember so we need 1.2 hectares per person and so 360 hectares of land would give us enough food Fuel and clothing for to feed the whole village so that whole village without leaving the village would be able to provide all of their are basic very basic Maslow hierarchy of needs of food Water Shelter and in clothing and then the idea is to use instead of using tilling agriculture which reduces uh the fertility of the soil to use permaculture or food forests and then you you could do a graduated approach so in the in the middle you could have like say your crop and then around that a food forest and then around that your compass yard and then slowly fill in the food for us because you can get all of your like uh like even owulu you could grow walnuts uh for all your fat needs and chestnuts for your starches and then pea shrubs for all your protein um and then well lots of different kinds of things like that and then you would have like neighborhoods which are like say five thousand uh hectares will 5 000 people and then the cities would be like 55 000. um and then so each City you would want to have like uh say a power plant or like let's say a hydroelectric uh especially and then um so and in that uh hydroelectric or the power plant around that you would have the only high density settlement would which would be the industrial center where uh the blacksmithing and uh other industrial processes happen that support the outlying towns and villages hmm so yeah and and then I I mean you you could like scale it up you know uh with two countries but when in a previous life I used to live in Mount tamborine in Australia and I was part of a transition Town group and if you type my name into YouTube one of the tubes that will come up is development of a self-sufficient community where I'm basically describing something like that but everyone's got similar ideas it's a case of all ideas should be tried and and given a chance one thing though growing of food is going to have to be intimately attached to Seasons and the further you get to the North Pole and the South Pole for that matter the more vulnerable you are to the difference between winter and summer and up in Hulu it's not really feasible to grow anything uh for until four or five months a year because the rest of time is under snow yeah yeah it has a three-month growing window yeah so in that three months you've got to be able to do things and and then can you use the rest of the year somehow and like like and then there are there are things you can do you know like greenhouses and you know grow things underground even and but they need to be organized well I was talking about trees and shrubs so for instance in ULU you could grow pine nuts easily all over Finland uh all the way up to the tree line um and uh and pea shrubs and and they will grow themselves so so you don't even have to do any planting once once they're established they will take a few years to grow just because the the uh to start producing fruit because the uh season is so short but once they do they will produce more or less every year one of the things I actually asked um but I used to give self-sufficiency talks like this this was my plan before I came to Europe how do I turn a small town self-sufficient and one of the things I used to ask people how do you wipe your bum is our toilet paper so where do you get that off the shop right sure and so so I proposed if you were to plant a tree or a shrub that had this leaves could be used as toilet paper what would that be and that there's several species of tree involved but most people have thought oh we'll go straight to you know in the self-sufficiency movement they uh there seems to be a progression of thinking you'll go you know for example oh we need a generator uh now we need a gun yes yes a gun that'll help it goes through a sequence of thinking and it's a book how do you manage sanitation and if you don't manage sanitation everyone's going to get sick and you're done and and so and so what problem solving do you do and so the conventional modern world Viewpoint of looking at things has to go and but also we don't go to the Past what we do is we take elements of the past yeah Ellen's present and we look at the future uh issues and bottlenecks in a different context and we develop a paradigm that's never seen seen before yes yeah for sure for sure yeah and uh in terms of the toilet paper I I was just reading I think it was the history of Finland and they had used Stones they had used stones for a long time there's real hard asses here like like what was it the Vikings never made a settlement here in Finland right they rate it everywhere else but every time that they thought about making a settlement here that locals asked them to leave and they did and what's interesting is there's no iron tools or weapons until the year 1000. right and right so hang on so how do you ask you ask a militarily competent group like the Vikings to leave when you don't even have weapons that compare with them and that's interesting there's a strength here uh that is not that understood but especially by the people who have not come from here and and you see below the surface the the social strength that is here and it's not perfect like anywhere else it's got It's got of tissues and its problems um but um the the the the uh a very culturally have a strong identity but they also understand that they can interact with people outside of their culture in a way which might help so they are nationalistic but they're not uh um rejecting other cultures uh so I had a question uh are you and or the Finnish people familiar with short rotation Corpus for sustainable wood energy right so I actually haven't looked at this end of things for a long time not since I left Australia and I've not come in contact with the prep community in Finland I imagine they're here the Sweden has an enormous prepper Community to the point where their government tells them to do it the government is actually we'll actually say it's sensible to think in these terms that the whole Nordic Frontier has uh depth to its preparedness and situation awareness that I did not see in Australia and I guess the angular countries in general I think it has to do with the long Winters you have to be prepared yeah well if you don't if you're not if you're not organized you're dead yeah exactly exactly that's the question I haven't come in contact with anyone working in those fields yet but that doesn't mean they're not here so you are familiar with short rotation compasses a little bit not in the finished context oh okay okay yeah well it's it's just something I like to uh make sure everyone knows about because it's it's so important uh for sustainable wood yeah so so for um the short rotation Willow Compass is considered the fastest and so if if you're able to grow Willows which you can in most places um it does need some some wetness and there's lots of wetness in in Finland and uh I think after three to six years uh The Willows get tall enough for harvesting and then you can Harvest them uh say if you have a hectare a lot you can partially Harvest them uh for basically the rest of time uh for your firewood needs and uh you you can add in some Alders um which are also very common um and they fix the nitrogen in the soil and they also grow quickly and so you you can use those and in dry areas you can use Poplar and black locust can I can I interject something sure go ahead they actually came up with sort of a gigantic Baler I've seen this it's like you know how there are bales of uh hay well they came up with a way of harvesting biomass where you would Harvest tiny little it's basically modern compo composting you uh Harvest tiny little um Twiggy type things you know like small trees and you bail them up into these giant Bales which look like just enormous bales of hay and then you dump them into the biomass uh uh you know burner you let them dry obviously and a little bit and then dump them into the biomass burner and they work just like that so that might be sort of a more high-tech way of uh doing what you're saying and they definitely already did it they're doing it in parts of Maine yeah yeah I'm pretty sure I saw it in Scandinavian countries as well so for like half a hectare you can expect to get 15 gigajoules of energy and uh so I had calculated basically a human needs five to seven gigajoules per year uh for sustenance just from their food uh 475 kilo uh human that's moderately active yeah in Finland 80 of our energy is already coming from non-fossil fuel sources already and that's great once the Ukraine Monkey Business started up they contracted their energy consumption by 32 percent by just changing the way they did things that's what I'm saying this community around me is remarkable they don't that no one ever says what they can do they just do it I love it but um part of that is already combined heat and power with a harvesting stuff from the Foresters homes so uh and the forestry industry is big business here it's like mining is in Australia um now there is a punch-up happening in Parliament at the moment between the department of Economics which might keep my division reports to and the department of the environment and it's a definition of sustainable harvest in the forest one group has an economic definition of for sustainable and the other has uh biodiversity definition and hilarity ensues so what you've actually got is a system 75 of Finland is is uh Forest but a lot of that forces managed first a lot of the biodiversity hubs have been you know planted out so they've got a thing where how much can they actually take from the forest in a sustainable fashion and they're right up against that limit and so there's there's a there's a lot of arm wrestling happening at the moment of how much should that be so when we face that fossil fuels I actually wrote a report on facing fossil fuels there for Finland in six scenarios each one representing a policy and one of the things we actually looked at was is um can you actually expand it like if you were to go down this path how much extra would have to come off the forestry industry and if we were to go this path but we were to hit the sustainable limit how much would the existing forestry industry have to shrink to allow this to happen and things like biofuels for example uh sure they work but you know can you actually get enough biomass no right and and and so you've got them you've got some give and take things and and some priority happens like how much is actually needed and why that's the Maslow hierarchy of needs idea uh and and so those discussions are already happening um around us but they're still getting their arms around the idea that the growth-based economics is done uh that they're still getting their ideas around you know um peak oil that is that a thing or not you know that the current mess is being very good at showing that that we should be thinking about this and they're also coming now that we've committed legally to be carbon neutral by 2035. I'm getting calls from you know so the urban planning division of Helsinki you say look now we've committed to this and we now see what we need to do all the people that we would ask to do it are pushing back saying it's not possible go away what do we do right so the practicalities of of this are now starting to hit them and I think um Nate Higgins made the observation that there's an Overton window possible in Scandinavia or yes Finland Sweden Norway that's actually not possible elsewhere and it comes down to the sort of culture that's here and sort of things that we undertake already and the fact that we're going at this sooner than anyone else and it it's going to be hard and lots of things won't work and lots of things will go off the rails all the things that we all laugh about that will happen right China for example when we phase out coal we lose a lot of manufacture and when China starts talking to us like we start talking to them it's all over and now what so yeah I wanted to speak to your point on how much do we need uh and so my calculation based on the short rotation Corpus of Willow you need half a hectare to produce one chord which is enough to heat one highly efficient home uh for for the year including all the cooking uh but uh I think the shorter growing season I'm not sure how it works is because the days are longer if the trees grow as much as they would in six months um but it could be a hectare uh in in Finland and I wanted to mention uh here because I looked up what kind of uh trees you you would need to grow you could grow Siberian pine nuts and swiss pine nuts for fats pea shrubs and apios Americana for protein squamash apples and a variety of fruits and berries for carbs so I've got the study up that I did uh it's a different parent it's a different Paradigm to what you just suggested like I'm not going after individual homes oh okay this is actually the geothermal map for Finland shallow geothermal and the proposal is we use shallow Wells for heating of buildings it's not hot enough to generate electricity if we can heat buildings and if we do that that takes the pressure off the CHP plants which is harvesting biomass less biomass we can use it elsewhere uh that's the mentality um and if we were to go that route it would be really really hard so here are the sorts of numbers um here we go um so in 2019 so this is like Finland maps and so and if we would have knock out what what does fossil fuels actually do for us and where's it used and how would we use it and and so on and so we came up with a I came up with a series of scenarios and so here's like scenario one um full spectrum but it would go completely Electric and so that's our existing system and that's the new Power Group we'd have to make and you know the jobs like new heat generation and hydrogen fuel cells and and okay all right that's not going to work because of the logistical problems there so all right let's now go to um biomass everything's biomass and say oh all right and so the existing um okay if you do that but we would need 90 cubic meters million cubic meters of of wood and so here is on the on the right is the annual biomass Harvest for the industry it's 72 million cubic meters and on the left is what we'd have to add uh for the new capacity and the two dotted lines the two levels of sustainability so we'd have to wipe out the entire forestry interesting it still wouldn't work so that's not going to work and so all right and so he goes through like a series of these scenarios and what's this one okay so scenario five okay scenario four was probably the most um actually uh if we did like a hybrid of of um geothermal and combined heat and mass and hydrogen and this and what would it look like here and so things like downgrade the forestry industry by 12 or 27 depending on what you're looking at five is what would happen if we did nothing but uh fossil fuels would just cut off and and then this actually is released a few months before the Ukraine thing kicked off and so when I showed this this is to show this is why we should do something and then the thing in Ukraine happened in the Russians a cup of gas and yes well and uh so we're having a different conversation now um but so so this is well this is the capacity that's coming online that we can use and everything else will have to shrink um and we'll take what we can from the local biomass environment because that's all we've got and the existing incident would have to shrink and so all right if we were to go to a situation where we try to do things sensibly like well and if we did things sensibly where we looked at um yeah here we go here are the numbers here so so we've taken some stuff from biomass we use some biofuel but we've also Shrunk the size of our transport Fleet by one half and we've scaled back like we've scaled back by you know two-thirds here and one half there and and you end up with um this so this is what we would need to build and the new size of the grid and so um yeah and so this is the most sensible outcome and I call this one the plan sustainability manage footprint contraction of 50 how we do that what steps would we have to go through to do that and so in all scenarios the existing forestry industry would have to shrink in size yeah so I I was wondering if in your scenario you could uh because I I know I read the history of Finland and at some point they did try land redistribution uh but it didn't go anywhere um when they do these things they were doing it in a system that still worked just fine with petroleum right yeah so so I was thinking like as part of the uh because we don't know exactly what is going to work so if if we at least gave some people the opportunity to have enough land to grow their own food in firewood I think that would be a good kind of backup plan if if other avenues don't work out that are more technologically uh dependent there's two ways we could do this you can author use authoritation methods saying right Landers now this you have there you hear you here and those approaches in the past can produce results but they also produce a lot of results we don't like yeah um what I'm doing is saying here's a series of solutions and that could be one and so if we were able to go in this direction it would be useful for these reasons how we get there well that's your problem because you will have um a series of pressures on society and a lot of those pressures we won't actually know yet but if you start telling people before the pressures arrive they won't necessarily go along with it and so to show them the goal posts yeah I'll say something about um when you say the existing Forest industry do you mean all the um the other fires products are basically wiped out and the only thing you make is biomass a former woodlot owner the only way we made money was not off of the biomass which was you know the firewood Etc and the biomass you would get a very low you know pulp you'd get a very low uh price for but you'd get a pretty good price because you were growing Lumber so you'd cut these big Oaks and these other trees and those ended up being the ones that actually paid the the bills and the taxes and I think by cutting away that you lose Finland loses its whole export Market which is probably awesome it's not feasible right that's the point the paper industry is pretty big business as well so and a lot of it's export oriented but if to solve our problems if we were to turn export into Imports all our Industries are inward directing now how we reorganize things one of the things I've also am looking at encouraging people to look at is what would happen if we did a lot of things with hemp and bamboo and I don't know if it's possible to grow hemp and bamboo in Finland right but when you can grow hemp yeah so and if we can right and if we were to use it how would that change the equation and so that's what I'm saying is all problems and all solutions are on the table at the same time and we have discussion about what is sensible yeah yeah I was thinking with the land industry I wasn't thinking of telling people but rather just giving people the option yeah yeah yeah and so if it's going to occur to people that we've got to start growing our own food what the Finns will probably do because they love cooperating right all right we'll we'll organize a group of farms and we'll use industry to supply those Farms with things they need like compost that we will make organically but we'll repurpose a factory to do it right so instead of some guy out there with a shovel you've now got you know tractors and treadmills and conveyor belts making fertilizer right and so then they would actually optimize a series of farms but most foodstuffs are made in Finland and in Sweden uh not not most it's about half I think Which is higher than I thought it would be we get a lot of imports hmm um and a lot of things are bottled and canned here and uh so we have about four minutes or three minutes so if you had some closing uh things you wanted to share or say Okay so the future that's upon us is challenges we've got lots of challenges in literally every direction at once right now it's very easy to just say we're done that's it we're finished the end is nine let's just uh give up right what we can do is if we choose to interact with those problems and choose to see them all very differently with your understanding that we will do it in small groups there is a way through this the vast majority of humans will not see these problems and it's going to be it'll be literally the last possible moment where the light bulb will go off you cannot help those people right so instead of saying all of humanity must fail all of humanity might succeed what if we had pockets of humanity that were able to innovate in the face of adversity and what does success actually look like and then through all this you we have the capacity for the species to become more spiritually mature we can take our place amongst these species of the planet as a genuinely sustainable species a wise species as we probably won't be able to maintain our um material footprint with a lot of it's so wasteful anyway technology definitely is a useful key to all that if we understand what technology really is and what energy really is and our relationship to both right and so the rate determining step always was going to be us if we choose to do nothing then nothing happens if we choose to do something something might work and it's going to be messy as hell and then we're going to be surrounded by lots of people you're not going to like it awesome okay are there any uh links or do you want to direct people to your website or anything like that no I've got a website um simontheshow.com uh so I actually should I put that in the chat maybe uh it's uh s uh you want to spell it out for people okay um s-i-m-o-n-m-i-c-h-a-u-x.com [Music] yeah and what I can do is I can share the screen to show people what it looks like so we got 20 seconds and as it turns out share okay there it is okay so all right all right wonderful so I'm just going to do the exit now and uh so leave you in the love and in the late of the one infinite Creator go forth therefore rejoicing and the power and then the Peace of

Hiut1ovUmo8	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hiut1ovUmo8	Jesse Elder \| Cultivating Self-Mastery - The Art of Charm Podcast #298	this is the art of charm learn everything you need to know to crush it in business love and life the art of charm is where ordinary guys become extraordinary men welcome to the art of charm I'm Jordan Harbinger if you're new to the show but you want to know more about what we teach here at the art of charm listen to the art of charm toolbox at the art of charm podcast.com slash toolbox looking forward to meeting all you guys here at AOC alright I've just got a great listener email from Brooke s and won't say her last name she said hi I just started listening to your podcast and I'm all about it I love the idea of a show focused on self-improvement to the max mastering oneself in all aspects of life to become the best person possible while making the world better one step at a time I have one minor issue though that still does not settle with me as I listen to the art of charm it actually almost turned me off from listening to the show completely at first and I thought I would make a suggestion for possible consideration in the future throughout the art of charm in the very introduction to the episodes of the podcast - basically the entire marketing campaign men how to become the best man is the addressed audience I am aware that the show focuses on improving dating situations from the hetero male perspective but even in those cases as with the majority of other topics concepts and classes you offer this school of thought is universal and applies to both male and female regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity myself I guess one might say feminine queer female was even attracted to the idea of taking one of the art of charm courses but because talks about it caters so much towards men and masculinity I found myself feeling not welcome to even consider the idea to be charming and cultured and confident is not a concept solely meant for male mastery although again I'm aware the show is likely designed to offer the hetero male perspective on topics but even if that is the case you're dating courses unempowered will likely still apply to just about everyone regardless of the client's specific relationship interest I love what the show is teaching and I will definitely continue to be a regular listener because the subjects really do apply to all demographics and genders but it would be nice and even likely bring a larger client or consumer base to your products programs if you eased up on addressing just men and heteronormativity saying things like get the girl you want and possibly decided to not be as gender specific and talks about the show and in your courses I'm not saying to address women as well I'm saying to address people I doubt in this case the rate of your male listeners will decline because again the show is great for everyone keep up the great work the art of charm really does help my twenty three-year-old job-hunting self walk out the door feeling a bit more pet being confident Thank You Brooke Brooke first of all thanks so much for the email I really do appreciate it we really appreciate it but I'm gonna stand firm here honestly I'm so glad that so many women listen to the art of charm straight women listen queer women listen that word is in itself is strange for me but also gay men listen I'm sure I know a lot of straight guys listen that's our audience everybody is of course welcome to listen our programs however the live programs in Los Angeles are for men interested in meeting and attracting women and working on their business acumen and networking skills women are actually not allowed we have a residential program we don't cater to women there at all we offer phone coaching for women and that's it that said we do explain things from a hetero normal to use the word you want or a hetero male perspective that is exactly what the show is that is exactly what I speak on I can't speak for everyone and I feel like creating an audience that's more general will actually hurt what we're trying to do here we love talking about masculinity we love talking about being a better man if a lot of that applies to you as a lesbian female then that's awesome but you are not my audience you are welcome to be a part of it however you are not our core so I will continue to address men especially straight men who are interested in doing what we want to do everybody else love you guys you're welcome to communicate you're welcome to apply this I'm glad that you do I'm glad that you do share and that you do love the show but we are going to stick to our core audience of heterosexual you know regular Joe's just trying to level up and I'm not going to water that down because I don't think it's doing anybody a service and something tells me you'll still be listening even if I say hey guys and not hey guys and girls thanks so much Brooke alright now on to the show we're talking with former underground bar fight or Jesse elder this is like Fight Club real really interesting story here what he learned about from nearly being killed in a fight and why we can't control our experience of the experiences of others as well as separating the quote unquote truth from what's useful and what actually works as well as learning about money and money mindsets to go from broke to multi-millionaire business owner cultivating a real abundance mindset without going all we woo and creating and cultivating a balanced life and lifestyle Jesse elder enjoy you've done martial arts schools you you did like an underground bar fight thing which sounds kind of like Fight Club way more dangerous yeah yeah well chronological order it started you know I was a kid taking martial arts and loved it and was blessed to have series of instructors that as soon as they had some help they were more than happy to get out of the way and that taught me a lot of lessons as an entrepreneur later on but I was teaching when I was fifteen and by the time I was 17 18 years old I was running all the classes and really got the bug for competition and just loved I just loved how binary it was you know it wasn't like anybody's opinion you either won or you didn't and this is you know the UFC was gaining in popularity and I was also a bouncer while I was teaching classes during the day at these after-school programs for a karate I was a bouncer to try and pay the bills because I wasn't super super broke the club that I was working at started to have these fight nights on Thursday nights and they roll that literally would roll out like wrestling mats on the dance floor of this nightclub and have a sign-up sheet for anybody that wanted to come fight and I thought this is one of those experiences that I have a chance to look back on years from now and I don't want to regret not having this life experience so I'm signed up and walked into the ring not having any clue what to expect ended up having two fights that night ended up winning both of them and I was hooked so that was kind of how the no-holds-barred chapter came and went yeah and so wait a minute how is that legal again or that just they didn't get a [ __ ] ah legal sh me going yeah are you in pain I feel like that would be legal in Canada cuz they're like it'll be fine you know up north when there's no other recreation maybe so yeah oh my god it'll be fine someone beats you into oblivion I'm like I'm not gonna sue them I mean you were there well if your own free will and in America they're like I lost I'm gonna sue you because I I'm embarrassed exactly well what's crazy is that I mean there was literally no rule so there's no time limit no wait division some of the matches they didn't even have safety gear so it's just their knuckles and it was an adventure it was an adventure for sure seems legit and so I gotta ask did you lose ever because if you lost that mean that must have been pretty bad but getting bare knuckle beatdown yeah I had there's two really good losses that I had one was to a legitimate submission and the guy got me in a pretty good heel hook and and ripped my leg pretty good and totally fair and square I mean he was definitely the better man that night and then another one is definitely memorable I'd fought all summer long and ended up winning pretty much every week of it was fighting and I kept winning I ended up in the ring with his dude who there's no weight classes but he was about 40 45 pounds heavier and his corner had been watching me fight all summer and they knew that I had better ground skills and he did and so we go we touch gloves and I'm already knowing my strategy I'm gonna take him down get him on the ground neutralize his you know the size advantage and position him for a sub or submission so we go and we're circling and there's like hundreds of people in the place because this was like the big matchup you know the club owners thrilled because drink specials are going like crazy I had a ton of people there my students my family cannot to watch and it was just incredible the energy was like insane so we go we're circling and here comes that bomb that he throws which I was waiting for I shoot in get in close clinch I couldn't take him down like I no matter what I did I couldn't get the leverage and I realized why is because his corner had covered him in Vaseline oh [ __ ] so his whole body was greased up let's just say that I had through my game yeah damn I spent I spent three rounds just of trying the best I could to keep taking him down kept getting more more tired kept taking shots every time I fail a takedown at the end of the match you know three five-minute rounds and at the end I was spent he won and I told my corner I said I I need to I need you to go get me checked out and I said it something's wrong because I can't breathe properly I feel like I'm sipping air through a coffee stirrer you know I can't breathe so they took me to the hospital and dude it was like it was a pivotal moment in my life and I've looked back on that night probably a thousand times and and just gone back to that experience and really pulled a lot of lessons from it and I mean I can say without without hoopla without trying to be dramatic that my life totally [ __ ] changed that night because I'm laying in the hospital bed the doctor comes in he says the reason you can't breathe properly mr. elder is because you know your nose has moved over an inch to the wrong direction witness here knows any direction is that the wrong direction I don't know if they told you that he says your nose is messed up you've got a concussion but the reason you're having a hard time breathing is because your left lung is collapsed you know it's registering sort of I didn't have any reference for that he walks out I'm just sitting there and in this crazy pain but that wasn't the worst part I mean you know where the physical pain wasn't the worst part of it the worst part was knowing that my family and my students and everybody came out there to see this and instead that what they saw was me you know trying to negotiate this greased-up fighter and they basically watched me get my ass beat for three rounds I mean I'm feeling like a total [ __ ] failure I mean I just like totally totally totally beaten physically mentally emotionally beaten and I'm like I'm trying to reconcile that I'm coming off of nine wins I'm supposedly you know the golden guy that you know everybody came out to see win and and instead the exact opposite thing happens so I'm in the hospital bed I'm by myself I can see through the swinging doors like my family I mean my parents had come out to watch me fight my students and they're just all to their stomach over what happened and a couple of really interesting distinctions developed and one is that I realized that I can't control their experience and their having their experience which is certainly connected to my experience but it's still their experience it's an independent sensation that they're having and I realized that they get to have her experience and there's nothing in that moment that I could do about it so there's a real kind of an interesting freedom there when I realize that I can't control what it is that they're feeling that only they can so in the meantime let me focus on me you know what the hell is going on with me and I ask myself like literally in my hospital bed I ask myself how am i doing and I got back the weirdest answer have no idea where this answer came from you know I wasn't a particularly spiritual guy nah I paid attention I've done some reading but the answer I get back is I'm fine Jordan it struck me dude I was laying there in this agony and I'm asking how am i doing and the answer I get back is I'm fine and I'm like well that's weird if I'm fine well who is the I that got his ass beat and who's the I that's fine and like in that moment it was really one of those matrix moments where I realized that you know I've identified myself for 21 22 years at that point I'd identified myself as my body and I realized in that moment in that hospital bed that I have a body but I'm not my body that I have whoever I am is this energy that animates that body in the moment that I die whenever that happens to be that energy will withdraw just like turning the light off you know you the bulb weighs the same or the lamp weighs the same it's just no longer animated by that electricity and like I got it like my body is the same thing so my body can be totally beaten it can be totally destroyed but Who I am has nothing to do with that and I began to really think that through and know without question that that night was a total turning point in my life because I really lost a lot of fear that night and I stopped worrying about superficial [ __ ] and I stopped worrying about what people thought about me and I didn't give a [ __ ] what other people thought about me but I started caring a lot more about people cuz I guess I just started seeing them as extensions of that same energy so I got my ass beat that night but I wouldn't I wouldn't trade it for the world so you started seeing other people is almost like an extension of yourself yeah it was weird like I started seeing it like I'd have conversations with people and these conversations were super deep people that I'd even know me people I'd be taking the bus because I was still broke at [ __ ] but are you talking to people on the bus and feeling like it was a soul mate and not like a weird sexual attraction there's nothing like that it was just like a human connection I started to have that experience increasingly you know I just started seeing other people as much much more similar than they were dissimilar trip experience yeah like a near-death type of realization I guess so I mean I've heard I've know I mean I've got plenty of friends of mine that have had near-death experience and you know and other people that have had you know plenty of I guess you'd say hallucinogenic experiences and you know reality isn't all that it's cracked up to be there's a whole lot more going on than our senses tell us yeah that's amazing and so you went from broke that you didn't stay broke long you started a business that started to crush it was that as a result of some of the things that you'd learned in the way that you started to see the world yeah yeah perfectly said because that I came out of that and that was like summer I taught a little more over the next year or so and then I opened my school yeah I thought I year after that I just reached the point where like [ __ ] it is never gonna be perfect I'm never gonna have all the answers and I don't want all the answers because I'd be boring as [ __ ] so I just want to put my best foot forward go all-in and worst thing is gonna happen is I'm gonna learn some things that I can move forward and the best thing that will happen is I actually get my outcome it is totally learning on the fly I actually ended up taking over a location that was run by another instructor in town who had we ended up fighting because it just I ended up fighting him I beat him and he ended up respecting the fight and I ended up give me keys to his location essentially and that way you had like a legit kung-fu breakdown what you were like I challenge you and like the other guys like I would respect your challenge and then you duked it out it had a duel and then he lost so he was like you are you are superior and gave you the keys to his dojo this is that happened yeah - the accent that's pretty much what unbelievable that is so insane that is insanity well let's jump on that I the the club that I bounced at good friend of mine Lou was a barback and he was just a total enthusiast he came out to watch all my fights we're really good friends and I was completely infatuated with jiu-jitsu because really not a lot of guys were doing it in these fights and I was taking every opportunity to go and study and learn and I would get off of work and drive up to Dallas and do a seminar you know with hoist Gracie back in the day and so that was actually a really early experience for me of the power of self education because you know 300 bucks on a seminar and I'd come back and I'd win a couple hundred bucks and get my money back so it was kind of a interesting time but I was talking to Lou and he said hey I know you really like jujitsu but you know my girlfriend takes classes with his other guy in town and he said the jujitsu is a bunch of [ __ ] and it doesn't work and I remember clearly my response and Lou and I have had lots of conversations about that since then and I said that's cool it's not for everybody he's entitled to his opinion I'm entitled to mine I like it so I'm gonna keep doing it well Lou passed that on to his girlfriend who passed it on to her instructor and by the time I got to her instructor it was something like hey my boyfriend's buddy who's a bouncer says the jujitsu will whip anybody hey hey hey yeah and so that back and forth happened a couple of times and finally it got back to me that the guy had said that if I wanted to fight him he'd fight me and at that time I thought you know what this is just the phase of my life that I'm in right now I guess so you tell me when and where so the guy actually said we'll come to my school and you know we'll find out so it was really interesting because the night that I took off I took off work as a bouncer to go and answer this challenge it was really interesting because every other bouncer took off work that night as well and so they all came out to watch this whatever it was gonna happen happen a friend of mine from Austin at that time came down to San Antonio where all this is happening so like eight of us walk into this guy school and he's teaching class and he's kind of pontificating about the dynamics of the angle and all this kind of stuff and the guy was a legitimately good martial artist but he was a shitty fighter and that's just like so common you know there's so many people and not as martial arts it's like life man there's people who are classically trained and they're academically you know gifted and talented whatever and they're like the dumbest people you'll ever meet they have like zero street smarts yeah you know it's like the consultant who you know the joke in coaching is that you know a consultant a management consultant is like somebody who knows no 58 ways to make love but can't get a date on Friday yeah so that's so true that is crazy same for my industry by the way man it's rampant I think it's just the human condition people just [ __ ] themselves and they're just like oh I have this many letters after my name or whatever but so this guy's in his class and he's going on about the techniques and nobody will ever be able to take you down if you do this blah blah blah and then he says does anybody have any questions and all my buddies pointed me standing in the corner and like he's got a question and I just raised my hand I said yeah I guess my question is what if somebody takes you to the ground they mount you they're on top of you they start punching you in the face and there's nothing you can do about it that's my question and he said well it's very hard to take somebody to the ground if they know how to defend and blah blah blah and he starts going through all these other you know really technically complex movements which is cool like if you're fighting somebody in a chat room you'd beat the [ __ ] out of them yeah but when you introduce physics and emotion it's like a [ __ ] hurricane it just it's not gonna be the same so I said that's cool that's a great answer but you didn't answer my question my question is what if somebody takes you down this mountain on top you punching you in the face and there's nothing you can do what do you do that and he looked at me says well does anybody want to try and again all my buddies point at me so I go out on the mat and we go at it and a few seconds later I've got him in a choke he's tapping out he says well anybody can do that one time said I'll do it as many times as you like let's go again so we go again I tapped him out again and it was just one of those I don't think I would respond this i certainly wouldn't respond the same way today but there was one of those moments in time where you know what this is just what's gonna happen yeah I mean it's funny that he said anybody can do that one time because as far as I know after you get choked out and you die they don't have to do that again if they want to tell you exactly hey guys I want to take a quick break for a second here you've heard me talk a lot about taking you to the next level in life at work and in your relationships and you've probably also thought to yourself yeah I wanna my game I want to become a better man a better boyfriend or husband and a better person and my guess is that you've been thinking about this for a long time am i right well I'm here to tell you this stop thinking you're chance is now do you really need more time more information and more plans for the future or do you want to become that guy today because the truth is this you can be the guy who sits around and thinks about becoming better and there's plenty of those guys out there or you can be the guy who decides that today is the day you're gonna do something amazing and I want that for you why because you've already got what it takes the potential is there even if you don't know it yet join me and thousands of other guys who've taken action in their lives at the art of charm call or email us and we'll see if the art of charm can help you with your personal relationship and business challenges all right back to the show Wow and yeah I used to take martial arts and I was like there were these guys were like no I know praying mantis stance and I would be like what if you get kicked in the nuts you know like well I that won't happen because of my library reflexes I'm like whatever you've never been kicked in the nuts obviously you know exactly I mean all bets are off when reality hits so anybody who's ever tried any ineffective [ __ ] and got their ass beat as a result they're not as committed to [ __ ] anymore yeah it's funny the reason I stopped taking the stand-up Okinawan karate that I was taking was because I worked as a bouncer for four years shortly after that's and it's funny we have that in common because honestly nothing will get you out of a [ __ ] martial art faster than going and watching people get their asses kicked or having to throw people out that are bigger than you or choke me Deb it's bigger than you cuz you're like I'm gonna get into fighting stance and the guys like I'm gonna hit you in the with a bottle in the face and you're like oh [ __ ] I didn't train for that one that was not on my green belt test yeah you know and it's like oh there's a guy who's 300 pounds and he's six foot six you need to make sure he's downstairs and out the front door before he hurts somebody and I'm like I don't know if you got the memo or if you are blinder than a bat but I am a five foot nine white guy and I weigh about a hundred and sixty pounds back then you know I wish I weighed that now and it's like I might need help like can we have six or seven guys up here to help me get rid of this guy and you know you don't always have that luxury you know if you're by yourself and somebody's acting up and throwing bottles at girls or something you've got to make sure that he slips and falls down the stairs because that small people do when they gotta get rid of big people you got physics on your side yes exactly so yeah a long time ago you know past life type thing I was sure I'm 34 now I probably stopped probably by the time I was old enough to drink I was about wrapping that up you know but yeah it's funny because I saw tons of those guys that were like oh you know that would never happen and blah blah and then it was like the FBI said 98% of fights in the street end up on the ground and there was the jujitsu guys like see we knew that and then the karate guys are like what happens if you get attacked by multiple opponents then you're you know it's just like back and forth but it was all intellectual debate and it was like go ahead and fight each other in groups and see who's left at the end that's only yeah answer that question yeah and then and that's life you know for guys listener for anybody listening into this I mean Jordan I could you know I can rap all day about like the physics and the mechanics and the psychology and we can geek out about that [ __ ] but it's like there are lessons in this [ __ ] like there are just pay attention to what works in any area of your life you know everything that I teach now you know online courses live trainings whatever there's so much argument in the world about what's true well this is the true way this is a true way to market this is the true way to get a girl's number this is the true way to worship god there's so many true ways my position is I'm much less concerned with what's true then what's useful and to me that is the acid test I don't give a [ __ ] if it's true or not is it useful does it produce measurable tangible beneficial results if it doesn't [ __ ] it get it out and if it does keep doing it until something better comes along excellent so what are you teaching now what are you teaching men now or people now yeah it's been a totally organic process man I not sure I did those fights I open that school and I didn't know anything about marketing or selling I just knew how to train and teach and I loved it and I loved seeing the transformation happen for people and somewhere in the back of my mind I knew that martial arts was a vehicle for this and that was where we built our school on you know we didn't build our school based on who was you know the baddest fighter and all that stuff we built it based on life skills and we built it based on helping people to get from wherever they are in their life to wherever they want to be and giving them tools to upgrade their confidence and upgrade their perspective on life and it started affecting everything by relationships and their physical health and their income and now we had really just awesome people and I reached the point where I thought about almost 18,000 classes in physical training and sales and marketing training for our staff and I reached a point a couple years ago where I was literally at in the desert at Burning Man and I add this like total epiphany I'm laying on my back the sun is shining skies blue and I realized I was done you know we built that one school up to eight schools we had a consulting company that was attached to that so we were teaching other people in the industry and I just realized I was done and I just wanted to just work with people outside of the nut confines because it's an incredible vehicle that I just was done with martial arts in that capacity so I sold my schools to a partner and just began coaching and I started coaching friends of mine who are entrepreneurs and then that developed into one day I just grabbed my phone and I shot a video put it on Facebook and the video was called 70 seconds to self mastery and I just shot it forgot about it just felt good to share and I open my browser the next morning and it's got like 250 shares and people loved it and I had like there was more shares than I had friends I mean I just I wasn't a big Facebook person but people really resonated with a message and I realized that holy [ __ ] like this is this is the time you know now is the time to go with this and it's not about business it's not about whether or not you're an entrepreneur you've already got a six-figure a month business which is who I'd been coaching this is about people this is about human factor and it's about people upgrading their life that's what ended up developing I had developed an online course promoter through Facebook we had 55 people sign up through private messages like terrible funnel system no terrible like by the way if you're coaching people on business I hope you've improved that aspect of your business by now because that's the worst way to sell anything yeah yeah it was it was totally totally like grassroots like I was p.m. in people at like 4 o'clock in the morning like I can't wait to teach you this is gonna be awesome and then I finished it I look back I'm like you know there's positives there but you know it reminds me of the art of charm humble beginnings right like guys writing in and going hey can you help me with this and me being like yeah I guess you know you should pay me though do you want to mail a check or you want to like PayPal me some money and they'd be like let me get back to you and then a month later they're like yeah I guess I'll write you a check and then they'd mail it it would take three weeks to get there you know from the other side of the world or something funny and I'd go and cash it and then I'd get on the phone with them and yeah we should probably systemize this and even when we started our boot camp seven years ago we had guys would come in and be like hey and we'd be like oh we totally didn't know that guy was coming and guys would show up and be like hey I'm Curtis from Canada and we're like oh it's Curtis from Canada's here guys and then he's like you didn't really know I was coming did you and more like of course you by the way you're the only student for boot camp this week and he's like I'm only here for the weekend and we're like yeah that's what I meant you know it looks like whatever it yeah and now for seven years later we've got like an actual school in a training facility and everything is systemized and looking back on that I'm like how dumb were we but it is funny you get excited about the idea in the execution of it you know you don't plan for the little logistical things because they're not as fun and you don't really know what the hell you're doing and eventually you figure it out so what's some of the things that you're teaching I mean what are you teaching guys do you have a money habit or something that changed in your mind because when you're broke it's not necessarily just because you're not earning enough money a lot of times there's a mindset issue there and then when you get a lot of money I know a lot of people that make millions of dollars that are still broke because they're totally ridiculous with their finances and they can't write they can't they could buy a Ferrari in cash one day and then the next day they're going hey man you have any gas money I can't put in I can't put any money in their Ferrari yeah they don't have any other yeah so did somebody shift into your head that let you go from total dimwit with dough to oh now I'm a multi-millionaire business guy and I got to kind of keep my [ __ ] together yeah well it was there was a series of really pivotal moments and the first one was after I got the keys to this school and I realized that you know I've got this whatever $2,000 a month rent and at the time I think I was making about $800 a month through private lessons and you know people that I signed up and so I had to level up and I realized that nobody gave a [ __ ] how good I was at martial arts or teaching and I had to really start to learn people's language and I had to learn to solve problems through martial arts not just deliver what I thought was you know the awesome part and so I had to learn marketing and selling really really quickly I went to a Small Business Administration workshop in the morning in San Antonio and I walked out after 40 minutes is the most boring [ __ ] thing I'd ever been to and I thought if this is what it means to be in business I want no part of it I will either go out of business and that's cool or I'll figure this should happen on my own looking back it was a stupid way to do it there's plenty of resources in the industry plenty of mentors and I was lucky enough to kind of stumble on some people who said hey you know you should probably do it this way this is how you answer the phone this is how you greet people when they're coming in and so I was lucky to have a couple of mentors and at the time you know growing up without very much money a lot of love and a lot of support but not very much money that was something that was really important to me or I thought it was and so I set a target that I'm gonna make a hundred thousand dollars a year it took about two two and a half years after I opened the school but I just I didn't have a plan B I didn't have a anything else to distract me and I wasn't dating anybody I didn't really have any social life really it was just total immersion in the business and I just wanted to make as many mistakes as possible and you know a couple years later the school is doing really well and I was doing a hundred thousand dollars a year in the business and then I shortly after for that I was able to net that much and keep it and then we set the target to do a hundred thousand and a quarter then we hit that and it was a hundred thousand a month and when I sold the schools we were on the way to doing a hundred thousand a week and you know that hundred thousand number was always kind of magical but it if there's one breakthrough it's that I just started tracking what was important to me and this is the core part of what I teach now whether it's in relationships or whether it's health or whether it's meditation or whether it's money there's something called Pearson's law and Pearson's law states that which is measured improves and that which is measured and recorded improves exponentially so my staff and I just started just getting absolutely religious about where we're at for the day and studying these daily targets and you know and just with an understanding that the money's there is not a question of is there enough money it's not a question of that the question is now the money is just in the wrong account it's in the account of the people that we haven't served yet and the only reason it's still in their account and not in ours is because we haven't demonstrated our value we haven't proven ourselves and until we prove that the best use of that money is to invest in themselves and what we have to offer we don't deserve the money in the first place so let's go out there and start proving it and that was really our culture excellent that makes a lot of sense and it's very positive as well instead of like an adversarial relationship and things like that that a lot of new business guys have especially as well yeah so and that's a scarcity based mindset and really I mean that same thing translates to guys who you know trying to understand women or trying to understand relationships and I just took the same approach when I found myself single after 11 years of marriage and I realized that I've never really had I never dated like I never really went out very much you know I was super shy as a teenager got a lot of recognition as a fighter and as a teacher but socially I was completely awkward and I got married into a wonderful woman and then after 11 years it wasn't as wonderful anymore I realized that there was some fundamental things that that I wasn't paying attention to you wasn't looking at and we just decided to part ways and I found myself single with all of this skill set of communicating to people and building value based relationships and all of a sudden you know you wake up and you're like you remember spider-man when you know he woke up after being bitten by the spider yeah and he's like no longer as skinny weak nerd he's looking self in the mirror yeah that's how I felt it was like holy [ __ ] like I just love people in general and I started to have conversations with women they were extremely candid that were completely authentic and I would just approach a woman and I would say hey I'm Jessie what's your name and we'd start talking and if it seemed like there was some chemistry or some attraction I would simply say here's the deal like I came up to talk to you because you look like an interesting person and I'd like to see the world through your eyes for a little while that being said I like me plenty so whether you also like me or not is not that important to me right right and it really just became this coding merit-based approach and you know I ended up meeting a lot of just amazing women and having some fantastic can and you know in some cases introducing the hand of friends of mine who were more of what they were actually looking for sure and there's just no need to play games you know that this whole you know battle of the sexes is totally false it's completely fabricated there's no need to battle let's take a quick timeout for a sec some people think the art of charm live training programs are just about picking up girls and honestly there's some of that one week with us and you'll be rocking out in that department I promise what is a guy I know how important it is to be awesome and well-rounded and not just awesome with girls you got to be awesome at work awesome at home and awesome with your friends and family guys we need to step it up everywhere and that's why we call our company the art of charm that's special something that gets you results wherever you go and trust me the results are real every day I get new emails and calls from the guys who've decided to take our live training programs and what I hear is simply amazing just weeks after graduating they land a promotion they form a new wolf pack and they start a new business or find a partner they have a new life and it's not an accident call or email us and we'll see what the art of Traum live training programs can do for you now back to the good stuff yeah and it sounds like you went from the battling for essentially that scarcity mindset to basically self realization of course when you almost died slash got your butt kicked and a sort of natural abundance that actually exists and it took me a long time to realize this as well and it's all I feel like I'm always peeling layers off of that to where I'm like oh gotta hustle and get that money and then it's like oh there's plenty of that gotta go out that hustle and get those girls oh there's a lot of great women out there and now that I have my other [ __ ] together it's not that hard to be around them and and become you know get into relationships with great people oh you know I want to hang out with all the cool people there's so much going on it doesn't matter you're not gonna miss anything you know it's just one thing after the other after the other and it's helped me become a lot less competitive in areas where it doesn't matter and have a lot more fun and realize there's just like like you and I were saying before offline there's more money sex power and positivity and influence positive influence when guys start to get this but it is tricky some of us have to be beaten within inches of our lives to get there other guys have to work for ten years to get there you know what I mean it's not something most people wake up a lot of spider-man and realize well you just put it perfectly there is plenty and what if we can just accept that and we can just even if you don't accept it if you can just suspend your disbelief long enough to try that on for size I mean the culture in society just does terrible things to women but it does it [ __ ] guys over too and you know men and women end up responding to society's narrative instead of who they are authentically and the cool part though is it only takes one person it only takes one conscious person in the entire bar or the entire restaurant or the entire club or whatever it only takes one conscious person to relate to people authentically for them to really get it and it's that's a beautiful gift then you actually can give people I think the thing that's important in this stuff matters because everything you need is already in you and there's a lot of people out there that think I need more resources or I need things to add on to my personality and that's why we say at the art of Traum that this is all a subtractive process so it's not enough it's not about adding a cool guy persona on and adding cool guy clothes and adding muscles so you look you know strong and tough and adding on cool tats if they're not part of who you actually are and you know doing weird things with your hair and getting lots of draw it's about taking away insecurities taking away doubt and and self-doubt especially and taking away bad belief systems that aren't serving you that you've had for twenty years because of something that literally happened in high school or even earlier and a lot of people are laughing right now but it's true you can get rejected or embarrassed by a girl in third grade and when you're 30 it's still [ __ ] with your mojo yeah yeah it will if you let it there's no question I'm like sitting here on the phone and I'm just like nodding my head like yes yes yes everything you just said because it is a subtractive process and the hardest part is knowing how easy it actually is and I know that sounds like Zen as [ __ ] but it really isn't hard what's hard is pretending to be something that you're not what's hard is having people accept that facade and having to keep it up because if you start showing who you really are they might not like you because that's not who they really know so it takes balls man it takes courage genuine courage to say hey this is me and I like me plenty so whether you also like me or not is not that important to me and this is what I found and I'm sure that you found the exact same thing in your experience is that when you can completely and totally 100% accept yourself when you can accept yourself as you are who you are right now and you can accept that unconditionally then that's actually the foundation for self-love if you can accept yourself as you are then you can begin to love yourself as you are and when we can love ourselves as we are then it opens up this incredible space for something that I would call need free connections well we can connect with people in a way that we have zero need to manipulate them and we are completely immune to any attempt for someone to try and manipulate us yes yes I agree and I think that's a huge element of the differences between a man and merely an adult human male damn dude I just said that same thing this is last weekend you know training dude that's uncanny I agree a thousand percent women will say what's up with all these man boys and you'll look around you'll go this guy's a man-child and you know it's really manchild is is funny but actually this person is an adult human male and is not a man there's neediness there there's baggage there that's causing this person to need to manipulate others to be manipulated by others and it's just it's really unmanly and I don't mean that in like the no chest beating sense you know what I mean I mean that's like the agenda having guy who who wants things to go his way and is like manipulating people to get love and things like that's just so not masculine in the sort of woowoo sense that we're talking right now yeah dude I agree I'm completely like I'm just sitting here not in my head again like yes and if dudes can learn what it really means to be a man and what it really means to be so stop being a boy no just cuz your balls drop in your voice deepens doesn't make you a man and just because you have been laid ten or a dozen or one or a hundred or a thousand times that putting your penis in a girl's vagina doesn't make you a man or how do we as men really maintain that manhood you know that's what your entire beingness is about is helping guys and everybody I mean a woman listening to this is gonna learn so much about guys but she's also gonna learn about what it means to be human because that's what you've done you've elevated the conversation completely above the level of how do I get the girl's number how do I get laid how do I you know kill my hangover the next morning how do I beat a traffic ticket blah blah blah there's a shitload of that stuff out there and then no maybe there's I'm in a place for everything but you've elevated the whole conversation and from my perspective Jordan just like just to reflect back to you my experience of huge has taught in this call like you give people back to themselves that's awesome I love that that's what happens people see their authentic self reflected in your language and that's a [ __ ] gift man you you have a gift with that for sure I appreciate that I appreciate you as well is there some concept that you want to hit on or rap with or something like that you know we've touched on a lot of things and I'm sure this is people are gonna want to go back and refer to because there's a lot of data points and a lot of nuggets I do share a concept which is super accessible for people but it just reinforces kind of everything that we're talking about so we'll kind of encapsulate the conversation in this I take a concept called the triad and the triad is if you imagine a triangle and at the top of the triangle you have physicality and by physicality that means your your physical body you know your your health and your vitality it also means your physical environment so the home that you live in the space that you occupy the vehicle or vehicles that you have you have them your clothes your appearance that's all at that top part of the triad that's your physicality the bottom right hand side when we're doing is live we draw heart and that's your connection with other human beings that you share this planet with and that made me a significant other if that's a space you're in you know maybe one lover that you are just completely focusing your energy on if it may be a lot of lovers but it doesn't just have to do with intimate relationships it's also your family which is a different kind of intimacy and it's your friends and it's your employer or your employees it's your customers clients all the people that you come into contact with that's the second part of the triad and that's an equally important part of your life and then over on the left hand lower part of the triad are a dollar sign although I did have a guy in a training who drew you know the Bitcoin Loco yeah whatever prosperity means to you financially that's the third part and then in the middle I draw an infinity symbol but I've had people draw across if they've come from a Christian background or I've had people draw a Star of David I've had people draw a crescent is there of the Muslim faith it's really just your connection with the infinite and whatever word and whatever symbol you want to use to describe your connection with infinite intelligence that's cool and there's not one better than the other so if we look at this visual now and you know people can cut up you know construct this for themselves at the top you've got physicality on the lower right hand side you've got your heart connections and your people and on the lower left hand side you've got your money and in the very center you've got your connection with Source Energy with God with the universe the main lesson is that these areas of your life are all completely connected you experience abundance in one you can experience abundance in all and there's not one of these areas that's more important than all of them and success in life comes from progressing in each of those areas simultaneously not at the expense of another and so you'll see this happen constantly where people will go into business for example make some money chase the launch chase the IPO just get started you know try and hit their sales goals but at the expense of their relationships or at the expense of their health or at the expense of their spirituality or whatever they call their connection to non-physical energy and they justify it and society justifies it by saying well you know he's the son of a [ __ ] and he's broke and he's fat as [ __ ] but man that guy knows how to make money and people justify it and I'm here to say that's [ __ ] if you're only experiencing abundance in one or two or even three areas when you could and should be experiencing it all four simultaneously if somebody settles for abundance in one or two areas that's like giving God the finger that's an interesting point you know you did touch upon one of my pet peeves and when an athlete or somebody or like a rapper will do something just awful and totally ridiculous that he should be put in jail for and people are like oh well you know what I mean the dude is rich so I don't care I mean even more reason for him to know better than to be a racist piece of [ __ ] or whatever it is that happened and it's just like well yeah you know he might be a total idiot on TV but you know scoreboard he's loaded and I'm like scoreboard what that guy's a [ __ ] I don't care he's got ten billion dollars right right so for me it's just like you are not just your bank account you are not just your Facebook I mean imagine if reverse that take the money aspect out and put something else how many Twitter followers you have or something what does somebody like somebody like rape someone in there like I don't know though he's got like 800 thousand Twitter followers and there's no reason not to have it all there really is not in today's day and age where we know that it's bad for you to focus on one thing only I mean we know this we can prove with science that stress and all these things will kill you and that you're not happier with a certain level of money after what is it like sixty-eight thousand bucks is like the top rung of happiness and everything after that's like a super tiny marginal increase in lifestyle I mean we know these things you know we see the science behind the studies and yet people will still do it and I know that old habits die hard but hopefully here we can sort of shed the light on that and and help people think in a different way thank you very much that feeling is totally mutual man and money just makes us more of who we are and the more we have the more we can the more we can be in more choices we get well thanks so much Jesse elder people can find you at the show notes will be linking up Jesse elder calm much appreciative brother both ways man this has absolutely been a pleasure and can't wait to see your journey continue to unfold you're helping a lot of people man alright guys I hope you enjoyed that really interesting underground bar fight type deal and almost dying in a fight no thanks I really liked separating the truth from what's useful and what actually works not just in terms of martial arts but doing this in applying this across our lives especially in business and learning about money in these money mindsets to go from how he went for broke to multi-millionaire business owner that's a mindset shift I think a lot of us need to make it took me a long time to make these mindset shifts myself as well as cultivating that real legit abundance mindset without being super woowoo about it but actually having that and putting that into play in a very practical way and creating and cultivating that balanced life and life style more from Jesse at Jesse elder calm now let's wrap with a fashion tip from Aaron Marino due to popular demand we got fashion tips from my man Aaron Marino from I am alpha m.com he's gonna be dropping some knowledge on us to learn how to dress our best all right so I'm a noob too buying suits a lot of people at AFC love buying suits a lot of students ask me hey what kind of suit do I get I'm the last guy to ask and one of the things I noticed is there's two and three buttons and double-breasted single breasted there's a million choices but let's start with the buttons how many buttons what's the trend and buttons right now to always go with two buttons the idea is that the suit that you buy now needs to be stylish in three years five years six years from now to button is standard its classic you know the trends one button three button four button five button they were going crazy with buttons you really want to just stick with the classics okay as far as lapels are concerned go with the notch lapel it's going to be the safest you're going to be able to wear that suit now you're gonna be where wearing that suit in five years from now two buttons is is my standard rule excellent and what about ticket pockets those are taken two ticket pockets another one of those trendy items no it looks great now but in three years from now you're not gonna be seeing it so I would say go simple go as standard classic as possible for that basic suit if you're looking to you know get multiple suits and you want to do something a little bit trendy R then go for it but as far as the basic rule and and rule of thumb go with too simple classic you'll never go wrong with it excellent for more from Aaron Marino search for alpha M on YouTube or go to IM alpha

Mobi right next to persuasion and some other stuff okay that's it it's loaded on there we close that we disconnect our Kindle from the PC or Mac or whatever by disconnecting the USB and you can see we've no longer got our K Drive finally we've disconnected our Kindle from the computer and we've uploaded our project cuton Bo book switch it on and there it is fourth one down okay 33,000 books to choose from enjoy	Dick Moore	UChKyECCfBuoZ5C3ccqht_UQ	2011-08-24	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	569	2,935

happened last year as well you probably right not my used to be [Music] the it's [Music] also what you do an action shot shut it hopefully you're not going wait just a [Music] second [Music] oh start literally shoot the other lot to talk about this he said he said wait a minute he's got to go shoot the other speakers said okay I'm going go ahead and get started uh so hi my name is Jeff Williams I'm the CTO and founder of contast security you may have seen us down there on the vender area um I was also a Founder at OAS I've done a lot of projects invest a lot of time here I want to thank all of you for everything you're doing to contribute to OAS I I got a lot out of my time at at OAS and think was really great so today I'm going to talk about uh why application Security Experts are really part of the problem and uh we'll see how that goes so um I like this by the way the sign out side this why AB experts are killing not killing you little different meaning um so I want to start out with a little story about this this is not a basketball this is a basketball coach see this is the Wilson 9450 anybody know why it's called 9450 94 sensors basketball courts 94 ft by 50 ft um so this is a sensor basketball it's got a whole bunch of sensors inside it it measures how hard you dribble it measures the Arc of your shot it measures how fast you release whole bunch of stuff and uh it's actually an amazing way of learning about your game so I've been playing basketball for like 30 years and I learned a lot about my game see this thing has a model inside it of what good basketball play looks like and turns out your your Arc and your shot is supposed to be about 45° here I think uh right in here and you can see most of my shots here are shooting flat I did not know that and actually I started thinking about it and I actually think it helped my game when I started playing with this and all you have to do is play with this basketball and you get a you connects to your phone it gives you all these dashboards and it actually even gives you like exercises to you know practice and uh it measures your time so it's actually pretty amazing what I wanted to what I get from this from from an abct perspective is that there's this model here there there's this approach to teaching basketball there's a model that's built into this 9450 that says what good basketball looks like there are sensors that measure how well you do against that model and then there's the analytics that show you and communicate that to you very clearly that's a really powerful model for improving at anything and that's what I'm going to talk about uh with regard to application security I think we can learn a lot from this basketball okay so we actually I thought uh you know some of the speakers yesterday did a great job of talking about this we actually suck at application security so um if you look at the Verizon DB report these are the ways they they research breaches and they check out how did these breaches happen what was the sort of underlying cause and if you look at the underlying cause you can see there's you know the things we read about in the news like point of sale devices and skimmers and crime wear and even spies and so on but the biggest cause by far like over 50% bigger than any other category is application security but it what's crazy is here's how we're spending money so 1.7% of security spending goes towards aback all the other spending is on Perimeter kinds of protection like antivirus and firewall and uh those those sorts of Legacy Technologies this is crazy right this is like locking all the windows in your house but leaving the front door wide open okay now I'm not it makes sense to me that this is how the world is because our Solutions in application security are are pretty terrible they're complex and they don't really provide a lot of value so I've done work for the last 15 years with many of the major Financial organizations and government agencies on their asset programs and at the end of the day I've got three metrics I want to try to summarize the output of those programs so in terms of assurance those programs are not doing very well uh on average uh organizations are producing applications with 22.4 serious vulnerabilities in them that's a lot IM flly on an airplane if it had 22.4 series safety problems that would be niut but in AB that's just that's that's what's out there in terms of coverage terrible in most organizations they're only doing application security work on 10% of their application portfolio the other 90% doesn't get any work so again with the airplane analogy imagine if the planes that you check have 22.4 serious vulnerability but you're not checking 90% of the fleet yikes I don't know if I fly on that Airline um and in terms of durability coverage we're doing really pretty badly we check the obvious things some of the OS top 10 but some of them are pretty hard like access control is massively overlooked in most reviews you can't really scan for it despite what some vendors will say uh it's complex you got to get in there and verify this and so we're not covering the things that are really actually pretty important and then in terms of process fit my barometer here is set to MTH is AB irritates everyone anybody been in a situation where the development guys weren't really super respectful of the security guys and vice versa yeah that's terrible so we're not doing we're not providing Great Value and we're pissing everybody off while we're doing it that's not a recipe for Success so I want to try to address those core problems and give you some ideas about how we might do application security differently so here's my picture of a traditional application security program and and you can see on the left all these little arrows those represent development projects they're running through time okay and we've got an expert application Security Group set up in these sort of these traditional Legacy application Security Programs and that group uses expert tools like static analysis and dynamic scanners and things like that I call them expert tools because frankly you really do have to be an expert to run those tools effectively tailor them for the application that you're scanning and to read the results and know that certain things are false alarms and certain things aren't you've got to be an expert so we've got this inherent bottleneck built into this process and uh this is why these teams are feeling really squeezed right every year there's more and more applications to look at and these teams have to continually sort of cut their level of rigor in order to try to get through the whole application portfolio that's why they're not doing the whole application portfolio they're really only looking at the critical 10% and and uh they're sort of squeezing the things that they're looking at I was at a a major Insurance organization and I was talking to them their program is they check for two things they check for is every piece of input validated and are they doing prepared statements that's all their their whole revie they throw out every other piece of data that they collect from static M thing that's that's the only thing that's making it through this it's crazy so uh another Trend that you'll see is some people are starting to talk about lightweight application security tools any tool that you you see that says lightweight is complete those tools that just means they're not checking all the important stuff they're just skimming over the top and finding the things that are easy for the tool to find it's crap so uh this is where all my clients are 5 years ago and development organization interpret delays as damage and they router around like we are scientifically setting ourselves up as a a roadblock and development teams are just trying to get around us so we've got a you know cultural problem a process problem so I started on uh uh a my road to a different way of doing abet five six years ago five years ago I did a talk at black hat and I was I was studying something totally different I was studying uh what I call Java Enterprise root kit where I was looking at what could a malicious developer really do bad inside an organization how would they Trojan you know put a back door into an application how they hide it and I found all these good techniques for hiding malicious code and I wanted to start studying those things but along the way I found the Holy Grail of back doors called the Java instrumentation API does anybody play around with it it's excellent right it allows you to modify a running Java application all in memory change the code however you want while the application's running really cool so if you're a bad guy that's great right you can insert your Trojan let it run steal all the data do whatever you want and then pull that code out all in memory so that it never existed anywhere on dis and Tra but I thought while I was doing this I thought there's got to be something good we can do with this instrumentation API so let me tell you how the instrumentation API Works actually so um in Java it works similarly in net and other languages but uh let's just stick to Java for for now so when you launch Java you attach the agent super simple it's just like adding a memory option to the jvm there's even a way of doing this programmatically in jav 1.6 plus but here we just we're adding the agent to our config and what that does is it says we're going to call this pre-main method in agent. J that's it so in that pre-made method you can add a class file Transformer that inter the bite code that's normally being loaded by the class loader and you're basically hooking the class loader you're getting the bites here and you can modify those bites so you need to parse them something like ASM or Bell or something parse them you can add code you can change code you can delete things it's not perfect you can't do just any transformation you want just little restriction um but you can change them up and then you can push those bites into the class loader and then what gets loaded into the jvm is IFI classes instrumented for security Now Okay so this happens very quickly when the jbm starts up you can modify all the classes you can instrument it now most people use this for logging which is really boring right we're going to add a little bit of logging to our applications okay what we do but you can use this for really interesting stuff so we can actually see what's going on inside a running application any of you guys ever done a a pin test and a code review at the same time looking at the code and you switch over and you're hacking on something and you're checking the code like wow that didn't work the way I thought it was going to work and you switch back and forth the reason that you do that is and it's super powerful by the way if you're doing pen testing without the code or code review without the pent test you're crazy but the reason that's so powerful is because you're getting a picture of what's going on inside the running application like you've got more context in order to make decisions well instrumentation can give you all that context right so you can see the P request you can see method calls as they happen you can see all the runtime data the parameters that are going in and out of all those method calls you can view them and introspect them you can see all the libraries and Frameworks and platform runtime jars you can see everything that's going on even backend connections as they happen and all the data that's going back and forth through those backend connections and it's an incredible amount of visibility you can get into an application and it's totally passive or you can do it so that it's totally passive so you're not modifying the way the application works and you don't have to change the application at all this can all be done at runtime so we don't have to affect your development process your development tool chain your build process your deployment process your testing process none of that has to change you just build the code the way you want and deploy with an agent now you can put this agent in any environment where the application's running you can put it into development you can put it into text you can put it in staging or QA you could even put it into prod if you want to monitor the application and I thought Jee Kim made a really nice point if you don't know Jee Kim you should get his book The Phoenix project check it out or visible Dev out's handbook they're great stuff he said if you have code that's important enough to deploy it's important enough to instrument and I think he's really honest something here the future of applications is being instrumented all the time we need to monitor our applications to make sure that they're doing the right stuff and we need to do this for security we need to monitor what's going on inside our applications all the time so let's imagine that we've got all that data all this visibility into what's going on in the application now how do we use that to find vulnerabilities okay first you got to realize a vulnerability is not a line of code a vulnerability is a pattern of events within a running application okay so imagine a SQL injection right it's a pattern of events a SQL injection by definition is untrusted data coming into your application flowing around and getting concatenated into a SQL query that then gets sent to the database and executed without having gone through some kind of proper encoding or uh or validation right that's a SQL injection as a pattern and so in this application maybe this is a spring app and maybe we've got a spring controller over here a web service where data is coming in maybe we you know the application pulls the data out of the web service sticks it into a Java beam puts it in session um later on gets into the business function and it pulls that data out concatenates it into you know or sends it to the data later concatenates it into a SQL query and sends that off to the database that's a SQL injection and you don't have to exploit it to prove that it's a SQL injection it's by definition it's a SQL injection so we can monitor not attack traffic but normal application use and identify vulnerabilities very clearly here's another example would be a stored cross crypting right we can say here's some data it comes out of the database and it bounces around through the application it gets pulled out of some data Bean into a JSP and sent to the browser without proper encoding that's our procing so you can see you can find these vulnerabilities by using rules against our instrumented data and do a very good job of identifying a broad range of vulnerabilities and doing it very accurately now it's not limited to just these data flow kinds of vul V abilities we can analyze the HTTP response like right when the when the data leaves the application here we can analyze the HTTP response and see does the output have the proper headers did we set the the XR options header did we set the caching headers did our fors have a Target so we don't have uh parameter pollution all sorts of attacks we can identify in the HTP traffic um we can also analyze um you know the libraries here we can see if they have known vulnerabilities that that's uh A9 and the O top 10 we can check their versions and see whether they're secure enough so having insight into what's going on inside the running application critical to identifying vulnerabilities accurately so this is a different approach than static analysis or dynamic analysis it's really a runtime approach and it's just uh it's very powerful so I want to give you another analogy to help you understand really how this works so imagine that your application and your data is sort of this this set of islands surrounded and intertwined in a coral reef the coral reef is protecting all your data in your applications and your functions and so on so you want to know whether you're fully protected well if you wanted to you could go and you could check every inch of this coral reef all the way around and all the way through and everywhere through this this island and see if there's any passages that that would allow an attacker to get to data that they weren't authorized for or to a function they weren't authorized for be a lot of work be really hard or you could instrument the fish you could put a GoPro camera on all the fish and if any fish came from out in the deep blue ocean and made it in here and made it to your sensitive data you could grab their GoPro camera and look at the video that they collected you can see how they did it you see all the steps along the way and that's kind of how instrumentation works okay you can actually see these attacks see these vulnerabilities um and detect them uh without having to attack them actually because the fish did it for you right so you can get it's a distributed parallel kind of approach you get lots of coverage really fast this way all right so I want to give you an example of how this works so this is what we call contrast for eclipse this is a totally free Eclipse plugin that uses this instrumentation technique to find vulnerabilities in running applications and I you know I've got slides here you can install I'm going to do a lot cuz it's much more fun right so you can install it really easily you just pull down the eclipse menu go to the eclipse Marketplace type in contrast and hit install and 30 seconds later you've got this plugin and you're ready to go so I've done that already and I've got it running here and I'm going to do a crazy demo I'm just going to create a whole new app in like 30 seconds to demonstrate how this works I'm going to create uh Dynamic web project you can see down here I've got the contrast for Eclipse plugin and I'm just let's just this test and I'm going you can see I've got the contrast for Eclipse plugin here it's not doing anything out because it only works when you run the application so I'm just going to create a JSP here and we'll call this uh ubar KSP and got some data here I got you know I'll uh do a little code just going to put in a little code block I'll do string I'm going to get a request parameter here string name equals reest okay name and we'll Cate that we do message equals [Music] hello name now we can do a whole bunch of other Transformations here in the code um I'll just leave it at that for now and we just down here we'll put B message M right so just a simple little um JSP so all I'm going to do is to run this with contrast all you do is you go to your server and instead of hitting start now you hit start with contrast right so it's just that easy and what contrast does is uh contrast for Clips does here is as the application starts it instruments all the code so it takes uh you know 5 seconds or something to instrument the code as it loads and then we're up and running with the application so now I can go to my web browser I'll test subar JSP hopefully this what I do wrong look like that started pretty right test this like five times make sure it works project test okay that went awesome um so fortunately I've got another application here I'm going to figure that out and uh just that in a second so here's an application that's I've got it's called ticket book it's got a bunch of vulnerabilities in it and uh I'll put in name Chicago credit card and so contrast is when I submit this contrast is going to monitor this request and identify vulnerabilities in that request and they're identified pretty much in real time so you can see them come in immediately as I use that that's because contrast is analyzing that that whole path finding vulnerabilities and Reporting them back so you can see there's a a SQL injection flaw in this I can double click on that go right to the line of code and I get this trace and I wanted to show you the trace I'm going to make this full screen for a second I want to show you this trace this is really important so contrast sees every step along the way this is the request of get parameter call you can see there's it says Jeff Williams and you can see it uh it creates a SQL query including that Jeff Williams here's another piece of it the city part Chicago and you can see this is where it appends Chicago onto the query and it finishes the query and the this is the line of code where it executes that query so really it's an incredibly detailed trace of it's really the GoPro camera version of SQL injection as viewed from the point of view of the fish right it's uh very easy for developers to see this and know what to do about it we give them you know contast for E clipse provides you know a summary of what that problem is it gives them all the stack traces for each of the events so you can actually you know review the whole stack if you're interested you have the whole HTTP request here this is a lot different than static tools right static tools can't show you the HTTP request they don't give you a test case so any of you that have ever been involved in reviewing static analysis findings you probably know it's a huge pain to track down where that actually is in the code wait uh huge pain to track down static analysis tools and figure out where the exploit actually is like what what URL you would go to to make that code go and vice versa right if you've got Dynamic findings you don't know where to find them in the code so contest we've got them both together here you've got all the information that you'd really need so contest for eclipse is uh it's a really powerful way of finding vulnerabilities in a way that's compatible with the way people write software right so this is not you doesn't require any extra steps for anyone doing their development let me show you a couple other vulnerabilities here so uh I want to show you this uh an xxe vulnerability here anybody played around with XML external entities before it's a fantastic vulnerability it's in most XML parsers and it allows the attacker to really uh exploit the XML par that's your servers and make it do things that it really wasn't intended to do like go fetch some data so here uh you wouldn't have to exploit this to find the problem but I've actually got put the exploit in here so when I hit go you can see that I tricked the XML parser into actually serving up my password file and contrast for Eclipse identified that right away it said hey you've got a XML external entity problem here's the line of code and from a workflow perspective this is really easy if I go to the recommendation it says here uh add these two lines to turn off DOT type parsing and so I've got that in my code here and I can turn I can just save that I can delete that uh that finding try the lesson again it Go and this time it won't find it right because I've I've protected myself against XML external entities so it's a very natural way for developers to work getting ex you know these air messages right in their IDE in the way they're used to I wanted to show one other finding here there's an insecure hash algorithm finding here and I double clicked on it and it took me to this line of code and I know that's a little small can anybody tell me what that line of code is doing it says driver manager. getet connection jdbc colon hsq lvb blah blah blah this is a line of code that's getting the driver manager for hsqldb database right it's a jdbc driver why does contrast report an insecure hash algorithm on this line there's no call to md5 here what's going on it knows you're sending it unry password say again it knows you're sending it an un encrypted password it actually doesn't it's it's you're closer that call to md5 is buried deep inside hsqldb library but it doesn't really help people to report that line of code buried somewhere in hsqldb right so we report the line of code that is in your program this is what you can control so we've analyzed this stack and we can see if I look into this here's the stat Trace I'll make this big here's the stack trace and you can see this is all uh hs2 ldb code in the library and way down here there's actually it's in a method called um uh user. set password so we're actually setting taking that password we're md5 hashing it and using that for something security now I haven't dug and done the code review on this but it doesn't look super secure to me um but you can see the important thing is that they know that that's happening deep inside their application so cutest for Eclipse doesn't just analyze the custom code it analyzes the whole application including all the threads that cross over from your code down into your libraries and in your Frameworks doesn't care about reflection or inversion of control or any of the patterns that make static analysis so hard it just analyzes the code that runs to see if it's got any vulnerabilities in it any questions know that was a lot yeah what kind of overheads to skip on the running application yeah there's a little bit of overhead so on web go for instance uh contrast adds about 5 milliseconds to a roundtrip request so you know you're never going to notice it in in Dev or staging or test but uh in a production environment you know you if it's under heavy load you might notice so you know it really depends on how you how you want to use it there is a slight penalty any other questions yeah so you guys have to actually exercise the code get the visibility yeah have you thought about ways of like uh F but like buzzing it or running it with some input spider it or something yeah there are a lot of tools that will exercise your code you can use junit tests or selenium test you can use a spider um even we have a lot of people that use uh Dynamic standards to exercise their application and uh you know they don't care about the vulnerability results they just they just really care about the spider so that's a recommended approach like inste of use contracts and then some other tool that will try to exercise or get code coverage yeah I most well some organizations are already doing a pretty good job on code coverage so for them I would say just keep doing what you're doing uh if you don't have code coverage from some other way then you know you probably want to do something to simulate that so one of the just one of the things we did a PC not on this but on the actual contrast product and so what we did is we put in QA all of our the QA testing and all of our perform all of that actually exercises so we just have the testing that happens that that utilizes this as it sits on the app servers so instead of having a separate security testing R QA and functional testing and all the unit testing everything that they do just from from a performance standpoint a regular functionality standpoint exercises all of it and we get the results that the way we kind of deal with that and is there mechanism to show like in tool itself code coverage we had that as part of the tool we we can we could measure exactly how much Cod coverage but it adds a little performance hit to do that because you got to measure every method every method call um so we think it's better to you know let you use a code coverage tool that you have like you could use Joco or E Emma or you know any of the other uh coverage tools to measure your coverage maybe do that a few times to make sure your your test Suite is got pretty good coverage and then you don't have to run that every single time it's interesting we looked a lot into coverage and you know dynamic tools if you actually hook up a code coverage tool when you run a dynamic SC you're going to hate yourself cuz they get terrible coverage like 25 30% of the code um even when you don't consider all the libraries they don't they don't exercise the libraries nearly enough and surprisingly static tools don't get great code coverage either You' think that they would get you know sort of 100% of the the code but they they don't cover any of the libraries of Frameworks or you know jar file code so that means they have all these all these paths that you know sort of stop their analysis and they don't know what happens inside those libraries um so that contributes to a lot of the false alarms that have they also don't exercise all the code paths uh it's just too hard for them to really understand all the entry points and all the ways of making the code go so um not great coverage there that's that's certainly a challenge that's why I actually like the way contrast does it because you can measure it and you can actually know how much coverage you're actually getting any other questions does it work with other languages Ruby or so I'm really I I'm just going to talk about the free contrast for Eclipse here but if you want to come down to the Roth we talk about other languages yeah we're trying to do something good here for the world like get this tool to developers it's free it's way better than anything that's ever been free on the market before um so you know we're trying to get this out there because SQL injection has to stop it's just way too long you know we've known about it for 15 20 years and we're not really making a lot of progress against it except by accident we got to do much better against these fls so we're trying try you know push the market along so hopefully you guys can help me you can get this to developers you send them a link encourage them to to try it and use it tell them it's not like those other security tools that are going to piss them off but something that they can actually have fun with and find vulnerabilities really accurately okay so uh you know I'm I'm practical though right um I know that this is just a tool and a tool isn't a I know a tool isn't a whole application security program so I wanted to talk about oh yeah go ahead just one last question does it expose an API or anything or using any PR things so it is possible there are C it's possible to create custom rules um that contast can enforce in fact like the contast engine is really just a platform for checking program Behavior against pattern right so uh it's like behavioral analysis so you know you can define a pattern of execution that you want to flag and tell contrast how to look for it and then it can find it um it's a little Advanced though but there's an XML format for custom rules um and in theory you could get the output and also do stuff with that as well yeah so actually I'm a huge fan of what I call positive rules most of the rules that come with your security tools are negative rules they model bad program Behavior but I'm a huge fan of making positive rules modeling good behavior like every one of our spring controllers needs to call this access control method that's a cool positive rule that you can put in your application and it's it's you know it's very effective won't false alarm ever and uh you know so I think it's a good approach eventually I'd like to see the market shift towards getting people to articulate those positive rules um I'm going to share a little bit more about that in just a second so you know I want to zoom way out here and think about like okay so how what what is the problem that abzac is trying to solve and I want you to think about you know your organization as a black box it's a factory and it produces software okay now ABC's role in this is to help those organizations produce code that doesn't have glaring vulnerabilities right should be secure however we want to Define that so uh you know these software factories come in a lot of different shapes and sizes there are small shops there's uh agile shops waterfall shops there's huge software shops they can all produce secure code but they're very very different and I think you know sort of the approach of trying to compare different you know the way that different organizations do application security is crazy it's silly it's like trying to say uh you know Dunkin Donuts is a a kitchen the same way the Four Seasons is the kitchen and say oh let's look at the practices that are common to them and we'll come up with a maturity model for kitchens well that's just dumb there's not going to be any overlap there right but both of those models are great they can both have great business and do great things so what we want to focus on is what actually matters here what matters is that this process produces code that's arguably secure so let's look at how we go about generating that what's important is the output here not so the have so you've heard of continuous integration and continuous deliveries core devox practices I want to introduce the idea of continuous security uh continuous application security um and I Define that like this I said if you're doing it application security continuously it means you're capturing and sharing and challenging and improving and verifying your expected security model as part of the normal engineering process okay and with Security Experts as coaches and toolsmiths only so remember that bottleneck if the co if the Security Experts are in the critical path for building software securely then uh they're a bottleneck and they're going to kill your culture so you got to get them out of the the critical path and I think we can do that with this instrumentation approach so here's here's how that goes so from the 9450 expected security model sensors and analytics this is the core continuous application security so the expected security model doing on time by the way I want to make sure okay uh so 20 minutes perfect okay so here's here's the uh expected security model we're going to talk about that then we'll talk a little bit about sensors and a little bit about analytics so uh the first thing I want you to realize is security is a thing it's something that you buil it's a tangible real thing it's not this mystical uh crazy property of software that you can't ever touch or feel it feels like that though right like if you build something and it's got Security in it you can't T you can't touch the security you can't feel the security right it's just in there I want you to change that line of thinking I want you to think about security it's a thing that you actually build and what it is really is what we're trying to build is confidence that the right security defenses are in place that they're working correctly and that they're used properly now the important thing is if you can't share that confidence with someone else then it really doesn't matter right you can be over in the corner happy that your application is secure but nobody else is going to know it your Management's not going to know it your customers aren't going to know it your engineering team's not going to know it so it doesn't matter it doesn't really exist we have to make this tangible we have to turn security into a thing so how do we do that what does it look like this is Apple pay's security story right I think this is actually pretty cool they've put out a whole bunch of details about how Apple pay works and you go read about it and it's it's cool it's got a whole bunch of stuff in there that says you know we're going to have tokens and we're going to use this secure form of uh of NFC and all this this stuff now a lot of people read this and they go well Apple pay is going to be super secure but I don't I read this and I see a bunch of claims right and I want you to to read critically this is actually to me this is a test plan this is a bunch of stuff that needs to be verified I think it's great so this is still cool right this is very awesome that they wrote down what the security mechanisms are supposed to be but they still got to prove to me that they're there somehow but I encourage you to do this in your organization is make your security story explicit everyone on your development team know about this and I want to call out David Rook who was talk yesterday he's right there in the room uh from Riot games he talked about the RFC process that they have in their organization so they've got rfc's at various levels of scale some are Enterprise rfc's some are application rfc's but they Define how security is supposed to to work and it's a collaborative process they've got people that can you know it's a request for comment means that people can comment on it and improve it and he's you know their security team has put out rfc's that say hey we should do encryption this way and the team comes back and goes like you know what oh actually you told me a story about secure pointers right you said hey we're going to do secure pointers this way because of this new cool Library the engineering team came back and said no we're not doing that we do Secret pointers this way and it's working for us and we're not going to change it and so that's awesome right that's great collaboration so that you get to the right answer on what the security features are supposed to be and then you know Dave and I had a nice conversation about putting in sensors to verify this expected security model right getting the the expected security model right is great that's good work people do that some people call it threat modeling or architecture review or whatever they they call it get that expected model right then you got to build the sensors to actually verify this in real time so here's a little example of one you can see uh you know I call these um defense strategies things like we're not going to allow injection you want to say how you're going to do that right you have this strategy for not allowing any kind of injection so you're going to do strict positive validation use parameterized interfaces make sure all your parses are hardened so you don't have things like xxz uh use hibernate database abstraction layers instead of going directly into SQL things like that you have a strategy and it's actually you know I want you guys to start on building your expected security model the best way to start is to go and look at what security mechanisms you already have in place and start writing them down and you may come across some things you're like why do we have that you know why are we why are we why do we have this encryption module here and most likely there's a good reason for it if you bubble it all the way up to the top you'll get to like these broad security uh goals and even up to business goals so your security story evolves over time just like David's RFC process security story evolves and I think it's actually really important to do this in an open way uh I'd encourage everyone to not only make it open internally to your organization but actually even think about exposing this externally like Apple's done because it it communicates really clearly how important Security is to your Enterprise and there's nothing in there that attacker couldn't figure out if they wanted to right like all of these things attacker could probably generate test cases to verify those things so you're not disclosing anything what you're doing is you're setting your organization's uh Direction you ever heard uh you know good to Great the Jim Collin's book about building companies he says you got to get everybody pointed the same direction get all this flywheels turning the same direction and you can do really great things so it's like that uh making it open helps to do that okay so that's the expected security model got to get straight on that that's what defines security for your organization the next thing is you got to build some sensors and I don't have time to do a whole talk on sensors but I did one last year here about uh it's called the application security devop speed and portfolio scale and it talks about how you can take simple tools open source tools free tools custom tools and turn them into sensors that report continuously and so when I say an aptic sensor I mean a a tool like the tools that you've been running but instead of running it just once you know at the end of the life cycle or every once in a while these tools run continuously uh a good example I gave was the uh oos dependency check tool this is something you need to be running all the time cuz new vulnerabilities are discovered in your libraries all the time so what you want is instead of you know every time a new vulnerability comes out you have to go do a scan of everything in your whole Enterprise anybody do that for heart bed was it pain yeah massive pain right wouldn't it be great if you knew where all your libraries are they should all be reporting back to you that's how sensors work right they're monitoring everything and Gathering the data that you need so when there's a problem you can just say oh well I need to go find out where we're running op SSL and talk to the 12 places in your company that are running a vulnerable version and update them right much much faster reaction time so uh this other talk was about building an application security sensor Network and if you've got a bunch of sensors you want them to run across your whole portfolio all the time all the data should be pouring in and to do that to manage a sensor Network you're going to have to have some infrastructure I built one for this talk using puppet where we pushed out tools got the data back we ran all the output from the tools through what I call the digestor to create a canonical form and we built a nice dashboard out of this so that you know always running really powerful approach to AB I think so then the last piece right so we talked about expected security model we talked about the sensors the last piece is really communicating what we found to people I we call it analytics here um I think the age of the security report in PDF is over and we can't report vulnerabilities in PDF files anymore because it's just way too slow you know so imagine when you run a static analysis tool and you get a PDF file that's you know 700 pages long and now you have to go through that weed out the false positives figure out which vulnerability goes to which developer it's extremely timec consuming expensive process we need this thing to be much more like uh dashboards and alerts so I wanted to give you a uh a picture of a couple this is Yelps CSP dashboard this is their content security policy so yel uses CSP to stop xss attacks and a few other things and CSP has the ability to report back violations from the browser so Yelp has this they're getting thousands of reports every minute from all the people that are browsing out all the time and this allows them to very easily see problems that they got to go fix so this is you know so one example of how continuous application security is different than a pile of PDF reports uh funny story I was in the cis's office in a major Financial organization and I was talking to him about how do you do ab he said well we do pen tests and we get the reports he said so you know what what happens with all the finding in those reports are they are they all fixed he goes I don't know and I goes what happens to the report Downstream like well we s you know we send a copy down to the developers and hopefully they fix that stuff I was like don't you have you know is there a database of these things where you're tracking them he goes yeah it's right here and he pulled back the the door he had a bookshelf Filled from top to bottom every shelf was full of penetration test reports for years and years of vulnerabilities in there so we got to get away from that right we need to have a real analytics this is etsy's security dashboards they monitor a whole bunch of different things but what's cool is they make these dashboards public for everyone in the company and I like this they said thank you thank you for doing testing they're really trying to enable security or developers to do their own security by making it super visible right does security really have to be involved if you've got a sensor that detects the out-of-date library that developers need to update because it's got a known vulnerability in it I don't think security has to be involved there right we can just get out of the way put the sensors in place put the you know we got the expected security model put the sensors in place get the analytics and and drive this all automatically and continuously all right so I think we actually need to go through and refactor ab to be more like devop okay right now we've got activities like penetration testing so so to me penetration testing is really you know if you ask these these questions that are in red here you know there are a number of different aspects of of a pen test the first thing you do when you do a pen test is you work out well what is the thing supposed to do right you have to figure out you know what are the access control rules what would a bypass look like that's really figuring out what the expected security model is right we should actually know that already you know that should be part of a separate thing when you do a pen test you should actually get a list of here's what security is supposed to look like go verify another big aspect of pen testing is designing experiments and the really good pen testers think about what they're trying to prove like think about whe you know what they're trying to verify and they design an experiment to check it it could be an experiment that involves checking the code for a certain pattern they might grab some code it could be an experiment that involves actually you know using burp and generating some requests to verify how the application behaves under certain conditions but they design an experiment that's fast and simple sometimes it involves building custom tools to validate this um I've written a number of these for Access Control Systems where I don't I don't want to go through and check every Access Control check you know one time and then be done I want to write a tool that can do that forever so I call this a sensor automation is the process of turning these experiments into sensors that can workun continuously and then dashboards is really the pentest version of this would be wrri in a report right probably write in word or in some risk register kind of system you generate a PDF report we going to transform that into real- time dashboards hooked into the dev process right hooked into jira hooked into bug trackers and so on so this is what I'm talking about refactoring pen testing pen testing shouldn't go away it should be reinvented as a bunch of different activities and you know when I say application Security Experts are killing you I actually think that application Security Experts are really really important to this process but we're wasting their time was anytime you spend finding xss finding SQL injection testing things that can be tested this way is wasted what we need is people to be designing sensors that can do this continuously and automatically forever and the payback here is huge in the time that it takes to do one pen test you can build a ton of sensors that then run continuously from that point forward and then you never have to pentest those again right so think of your current approach where you're doing 100% pen testing and basically zero sensors and over time you start building sensors to test stuff and you start shifting over to the point where you're at 100% sensors or maybe 80 if I don't know what the limit is but you can get a lot of stuff tested with sensors and you're left with a set of really complicated things that are good to spend expert time on perfect okay so at the end of the day uh I want you to measure the Assurance you're actually generating everything else doesn't matter if you're generating exites doesn't matter at the end of the day the point is how much of your expected security model are you actually verifying are you checking that those defenses are in place that those defenses are correct and that they're used properly everywhere they're supposed to be used that's what matters is how much Assurance you're generating and coverage is a part of that like how much you know you could do you could do a great job on one app and leave the other 900 with basically no Assurance that's crazy so how much of your app portfolio or you're covering and how well does abset really fit into your development culture I think if people are pissed about AB then they're not going to do it and this undermines your efforts dramatically so these are the three metrics I want you to focus on if you're getting assurance and coverage and you're a good process fit and people are happy with you then you can do a really good job at a and you don't need a a maturity model with 200 practices in it uh to try to get there so I do have a um a takeaway for you guys I have some here this is the uh application security The Continuous application security handbook I have a few of them up here and then there's more down at our booth but but hand a few of these around it looks like this and uh this has a lot more details on how you go about building a program that's designed to be continuous essentially it's what we've talked about um perform continuously use sensors focus on whether you're actually achieving assurance and this is this is really critical there's no experts or gates in the path of secure software development that's at the at the core of of continuous that's what we got to achieve so happy to discuss your program with you anytime please come find me uh don't forget to pick up your handbook and to get an contrast for Eclipse plug in for your developers so that I guess we got a couple minutes for questions they know where your boo is I guess it's lunch time all right thank you everyone appreciate it [Music] so	OWASP

sLNouz5ddPM	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLNouz5ddPM	Removing rusted/siezed lawn tractor wheel with a BOTTLE JACK and WINNING!!	hey here's the latest tip from Billa mines videos I've been doing this time and trying to get the tire off to the back of my tractor garden tractor as you can see I got it off what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna share with you how I managed to get it off I never thought it'd be such a huge phone and the tires off these garden tractors when I looked online and read about the problems people have with destroying the transmission just an area nataas see I've cut the axles off we couldn't believe it never thought that is such a huge problem and these john deere 165 hydros no exception anyway I'm gonna show you what I did to get this off I use what you need to be to good stoke two-by-fours about the size of your tire a real hefty fence board tow chain this one I've seen it actually I've seen it have real strenuous service tugging pickup trucks around like ping-pong balls I'm not kidding so this is tried-and-true a socket about the size of your shaft and nice hefty bobble Jack this one this is a three ton one it just couldn't quite cut it I had to use this one unbelievably and these things sometimes they don't work sideways this one has an arrow it has to be mounted estimate like this this one here that started running out of fluid when it was extended a certain amount and I had to unscrew this and push the piston back in so it had enough fluid left one was on his side anyway unfortunately I didn't take a video of this when I was doing it I should have so what I'm gonna do is if you stay tuned I'm gonna set it all back up so you see exactly what I did and I hope this helps someone as you see here I just I actually got it off yesterday so I've been cleaning this shaft on the wheel wheels all nice and clean and the insides d rusted sanded and that's just what I do like to start the engine put in here and they just wrap this around it will hold up there back and forth we were running and as you see there's a nice job here's the old and here's the new that almost looks brand new and I'm done gonna grease it up real good at some nice axle grease and I shouldn't have this problem again right right yeah so stay tuned we'll be back in a minute and you'll see how I did this there you go that's how I did it and it works pretty good I mean I just put the socket there right against the axle it's about this little on the axle so the wheel will come off you probably don't need to do this when you first begin because the axle be sticking out a little bit so you can just put the jack right on the shaft to begin with I think it's little simple anyway big jack and the chain goes around twice to the back across these two boards nice sturdy two by fours one of them almost split on me good let's do it so they were strong enough have you got anything better if you got space enough for 4x4 ball by all means do that instead keep it all snugly around you gonna keep this centered under the jack this works credit for this idea goes to the my tractor forum a poster called JD CC e Tec Tec H so if you see this JD CC thanks a bunch of the idea it works great but as I say be very what I just want to mention be very careful to make sure everything is stable and square and straight because when the amount of force here if something goes cockeyed and twists it could have some disastrous results with your arm or something so make sure everything is straight I did this half a dozen times on and off was never a problem just be careful stay away from it when you're doing it right now it's loose so it's not gonna do anything it's just a side off I'm saying just stay away from it and try and hold the handle gingerly so if something does happen there just to do something that disclaimer anyway see his pot because right now it's that's how I did it this one used the so-called Woodruff key a starless street key which I suspect made it worse I think the street kid I could be easier maybe maybe know it anyway that's how I did it and explain to you how I did it is oh yes so this works right you should not need this you're not a little beauty with this is it no torch so you ought to worry about guitar blowing up because you get the rim overheated I've seen some horror stories for some reason no torch you don't dabangg the transmission to bits and all the forces between the wheel and the axle so a worst thing they'll happen is you'll bend your rim that's the worst that'll happen here transmission is safe so I didn't need this to get the tire off I need this to get the tarp back on walks plane first time I did this I pumped it up and the tire budged and came out about a quarter-inch jewels flush for the shaft I thought great getting it to move is 94 sailor job oh no after it moved it seemed to be stuck real good I tried six times and still wouldn't budge I was ready to give up so I decided to try giving a few pounds with the hair and pulling it tire back putting the wheel back on the shaft putting him back in which I did and I finally got back in after pounding on it a bit not too hard because you're pounding on your transmission and break your green break your snap ring so it's careful not to pound too hard that's what the bigger soften is for I used this and a piece of wood to pound on the tub and push the wheel back in once they got back in then I set this up and pull it back out Creek Creek Creek bang stuck so then how you did a shortcut they put the big sockets in between and hammered the jack and pushed in it pushed the wheel back on then they put the small song and pulled it out did that about four times finally pop it came off unbelievable I'm gonna grease this puppy I'm so good it'll slide off the tip of your finger next time I take it off anyway this works just be careful when I get back to the house I'll show you one other messes that seems to be a real last ditch effort because the beauty of this is you don't have to damage your grandmother no drilling or welding or anything but if this doesn't gonna work one guy came over last ditch effort drill the hole got a half-inch hole right nearly hub get a hacksaw like a sawzall put it through the hole too near the other side and saw a slot riding the hub right down to the axle he says do it over the keyway that way you won't cut anything I suppose that's a good idea maybe or do it somewhere else I'm not sure but you don't want to saw your transmission now you don't want to solve those shaft too much anyway the idea being with a slot all the way along the hub you can get oil in there and the cold chisel and bash it and it's like relieve the tension and spread it apart of it and then you get the wheel off and the good part of that is you also you can still use your wheel later so what if it's got a slit in it you're not going 60 miles an hour last nope laughs the rest of the tractor anyway big deal so I hope you enjoyed that hope this helped someone leave lots of comments if you have any questions with your success stories and your failure stories hope they don't get too many of those ok hope this helps and thanks for watching see you later ok there's the short little den device set up do about the alternative last ditch method of getting the wheel off when I sit over there today this is this forum we got all my tips from my tractor for McComb lawn and garden tractors by brand John Deere forum the topic rested on wheel seven pages of tips the giggles and madness unbelievable seven pages anyway there's this method see here's a bigger picture see just drill a half inch hole here he was a sawzall and saw right into the hub wheel hub see says over the key way so you don't cut the axle too much get you're careful you won't cut the axle and then you get a cold chisel and some oil in there it's good leave the tension of the hub on the rest and just hammer the chisel until it crack into the slot open it up and it should come off no he's still no torch required and I think I can imagine that probably work every time and plus you can even reuse the wheel afterwards so what if it's got a split in it big deal probably I'll blast the tractor anyway I'd recommend doing this with the wheel on the ground so that we don't town the transmission of bits when you're pounding with a cold chisel anyway that should probably work if my it's the 20-ton Jacmel that doesn't work here's where I got the 20-ton jack from this JD CCE check there and he brings up a point here I forgot to mention don't forget the PB Blaster first time I got the wheel to budge and then when I was pushing and pulling over days afterwards I was soaking over this stuff TV blaster it works good stuff forever let me down it's fun the way it folds up when you're spraying it into it makes you feel like you're doing something remember when you feel like beating the bits out of the transmission remember here's a picture I found you don't want to wreck this there's a gear drive transmission you don't get your chef in to go out bang on all this bust all the Rings and everything but the owner of this found out the hard way unfortunately expensive all right anyway one other tip I got filled and related to these lawn tractors find you got a problem sometimes with it not starting where you turn the key and the starters only just keeps clicking f2 key turn the key over and over and over I found this the starter solenoid is not getting the voltage you had to put an on relay to feed direct battery voltage to the Stars all mine that'll fix it John Deere even made a kid for it can you believe it it's not just John Deere tractors any garden tractor I might make a movie of that later showing what I did is pretty simple you know - are we really doing 15 minutes and I'll start and crank every time turn the key check my love movie to see if I pulse it up soon also be

pd apprentice i already said that we are up to day 650 650 let me process that for a sec that's that's not a lot of time there that is a lot of time i'm sorry that's not a lot of time until we get to 700 we're already halfway to 700 can you believe it but uh yeah so let's uh it's 1108 i should probably get to it so see in a bit [Music] okay here we go we are up to you know we did subject blue we uh plot perfect yeah we finished that up now i'm thinking we should just start on business kind of go one and one or something like that because it's this is gonna be a pretty big doozy right here yeah yeah let's do business a bunch and i don't even think i want to start spiritual and until i'm at least like level three in business so let's let's do business for a while let's get down to business oh yeah i love these matchy matches um sabido is known so that would be eight what's two batata potato um what's three million best which is five medyard best industry um there we go i have an internet business is saying okay that's so that's a word that i don't know 100 then tasha jizando is saying dasha i don't know what that word is the price of dinner is not including the wine the wine [Music] casame we will plan the wedding nos vamos planetary i should probably know that i think that's what it would be okay it's 11-11 who make a wish what kind of businesses do they have um [Music] a new contract will will be made [Music] oh wow this is a new one oh this is pretty cool this would be cute oh wow it's helping me oh contrato this is yeah he wants to change the contract that's kind of cool it's like coaxing you to uh you know get the spelling better he wants to change the contract like tax see when you see the this the spelling it's like oh yeah like taxes but the pronunciation's weird what's up may net trick is wow this is actually pretty cool this is a new type of thing that i haven't seen yet this must be really new to duolingo a popular song population does not want to pay the fee [Music] no no we will plan vamos plano [Music] yeah september special offer of fairness especially lgbt name bro yes you think is probably something else first raid i i don't know what a first rate is man okay there we go the job offer still stands nice uh um i have an internet business there we go we got it we got it we got it we got it and 37 away from our daily goal most important thing folks kids girls and boys um we are up to 650 on our daily streak that is awesome look at that flame look at it look at it isn't it magnificent i can't believe we made it to 650. i can't even believe we've made it past a week like i don't know why i'm doing this i i don't know i guess it's something to do 650 days though that's not bad yo and we we also did the phone app and we are going to um just gotta wait for the ad to end but yeah we're doing 650 on this day too you know i feel like if i did duolingo plus oh wait look we're up to 900 xp towards the june challenge wow we've only got 10 sorry we've only got uh how much left yeah 100 xp left we'll probably get the june challenge done this week but that's not the important part we're up to 650 on our daily streak boom bam making the connection from monday to tuesday keeping that flame going we're keeping that alive yo i'm gonna actually screenshot that and then i'm gonna actually save the image as well and i'll share it i'll share it with my with my wife she's not my actual wife but you know maybe someday i hope so i really hope so she's very beautiful very nice but too yeah so um yeah going back 650 that's a beautiful flaming flame and uh yeah let's just go a little bit slower baby let's just go a little bit slower we're in 10th place we're in 15th place earlier tonight and 115 wow we don't really have to do that much to be quite honest so we'll probably do one more exercise and then oh my god look at evie oh my god i love evie he's so fat so are they learning japanese or are they japanese i'm assuming oh yeah are they japanese the pokemon with the with the letterings yeah it's safe to assume that they're japanese how much did this guy do or girl 175 nothing on monday you still kept the flame going what the frick did monday happen yet in japan i don't know i don't know i'm stupid with geography like most americans um yeah so that business was that business exercise was pretty easy losing my eyesight here spiritual seems pretty cool is it like religion or is it like talking about crystals could i do the checkpoint challenge complete this final checkpoint challenge to earn your portuguese trophy oh boy i'm gonna wait until i'm with my girlfriend till we till we do this businesses business let's do business let's get down to business isn't that dinner jimmy team simply always used a credit card a lot in uh you know buying dinners and stuff and had groceries you never you know like that's the number one word that's the word of the week a fortune i'm gonna actually send that to i'm gonna take a picture of that and send that to my friend actually can i screenshot this no i'll just take a picture because i'm i'm an idiot because i'm a poopy brain my friend was getting car maintenance tonight he reminds me of him cafe coffee [Music] it is a good promotion that it is ah wealth because i don't know what he casa is but i know the rest of them i am here to pay a debt i i could even i could predict what that meant just by like the words here you know what i mean like i'm here to pay a day i am here to paypal to pay what a debt because that's normally how business is running [Music] the boat is not for sale about uh [Music] pink sandals she does not something begin sleeping uh something she could not sleep thinking about the promotion also another another thing that i have to uh uh say except i'm too much i was too much of a chicken i get social anxiety when i when i speak to native portuguese speakers it's it's a real fear man like i don't want to sound like an idiot all the time which i mean i think naturally i do just because the sound of my voice sounds like i'm stupid particular [Music] it is a private port a porto particular gotta put the emphasis on the different syllables foreign the bill for to pay for my brother oh oh the bills were paid by my brother of the g payload oh payload okay vendus which is vanessa italy this shadow oh no they shard though it's like the pet this show um is it fortunate grange for two nug for two nog four [Music] okay here's the right one led show um grande fortuna para ophelia what did i do wrong um grande fortuna so you could do it either way is that a perfect score wow first time we've done a perfect score in a long ass time yeah girl eight away from our daily goal let's get it let's get it good um yeah that's that was pretty good that was a solid eight or sorry solid 15 xp not bad nice on the 650 oh nice nice on this 650 day streak you've earned three three days of plus oh yeah start my free preview yes please we've got three three free days of duolingo's plus so let's practice some of our mistakes hold on mistakies wait hold on hold on hold on hold on let me refresh the page i can't do [Music] there we go 50 mistakes to press practice start a personalized lesson to practice your mistakes let's do we chives uh pins pinsado [Music] a i think i spelled opportunity wrong so it's going to be upward to need dodge teddy okay see up oh i didn't [ __ ] i forgot to opportune the nui oh okay i did it i did way too many letters [Music] jose [Music] what would have happened if you had not developed that helped the children not developed what if i had made soup for you eukaryotes [Music] i want to i don't want to start a uh discussion [Music] i do not want to start a discussion yeah it is it [Music] oh wait we had chives lost i would remember if uh i had left left the keys in the car yes c a i didn't okay spelled opportunity right right if if i had the opportunity i would have done the same as you a coma nos uh our opportunity um identity not opportunity i'm still thinking of the one i got wrong earlier as if we had lost our identity and we got it nice we've reached our daily goal practice complete because you know 20 xp is quite a lot but we've got the one lingat for our time we've knocked down already a bunch of mistakes and you know i'll clear up some more later uh i don't know if i won't do that maybe i should do a progress score maybe i'll do that tomorrow but i'm in sixth place this is nuts that's crazy mang it's been three months since your last quiz see history maybe i should do another one hey you know what yeah let's do another one because i think what i'm going to end up doing is i'm going to do like three days that'll be tuesday wednesday thursday friday then saturday sunday i'm just gonna do like five i'm just gonna do a one shot actually i don't know i don't think i'd be able to do that i'm probably gonna overachieve this week which is kind of annoying because i don't want to do i don't want to go above and beyond all right that's really what it is what i could end up oh see look i already got knocked down to seventh place so it could be more competitive than i might have thought um yeah who knows man yeah and it's also i gotta be up in the morning i'm trying to give myself excuses here but what i could end up doing is i could probably knock these out on wednesday yeah you know what i'll do it tomorrow it's almost close to midnight um let's just do it let's just do it why not why not i can't i i can't sleep at night anyways sometimes so let's do it let's go for it it's only 10 mistakes too [Music] we need to show this the city to them our [Music] yes [Music] all right okay i forgot to do the economic of the country fell in the last trimester [Music] the door measures two meters the gate argentina principal argentina is the main is oh oh right is brazil's main rival in soccer because that's how you say it in america you say soccer mirrors my mother cannot see cannot come feared i i forget the difference between vietnam and seeing. i felt as i felt a pain as if i had lost a pie father a concoction the competition is getting strong [Music] what would happen if you had not helped the kids children what would happen if you had had not what would happen if you if you had not what would happen if what would happen if you you you had had not not helped out the children i literally answered that what would have oh what would have happened oh whatever what would happen what would have uh my answer should have been accepted because i you know it's the same we need to show our city to them to realize that it's a hell um [Music] oh wait wait wait wait dude [Music] my mother cannot come okay what would have happened if you had not helped the children all righty all right okay when we're up to 82 xp for today holy crap that's quite a lot and uh that's i want to see how much i'm curious how much are we good to go with we're back up to sixth place wow seventh okay now we've bumped back down to seventh place everybody's getting all competitive all of a sudden but that should be good like i should be good to go i could probably bump this up to like 100x 102 xp after doing another one but i think i'm going to do a little bit of a balance like if i earn all of these it would probably be was it be 20 times 3 i'll be 60 xp if i just do if i just do these mistakies so yeah i do a mistake mistake accumulation and all of that and uh yeah we'll just uh top deck at yo and i think from there i would probably want to do some like older stuff like around like i would say like checkpoint three location because like and even even some beginning of checkpoint four or you know what i mean like checkpoint three to four like any of these i think just before subject blue i feel like i could i could really hone down and get a bunch of wrong answers and uh you know accumulate that for here so we've got we've got our options but yeah today i don't think i'm going to do story time today because nobody's really we got maynatrick up there so i think we're just gonna look at that nice beautiful 650 days on our daily streak and do oh uh i guess i was going to show the flame over here but good thing i got a screen shotted actually so yeah we got a nice 650 on here duos lingos thank you for joining me as always on day 650 this time and um we've kept the flame going we're keeping it alive so as always hopefully the poor asses ciao	The Petey	UCZb4p2QXEQR1YVK61viGsgA	2022-06-15	Creative

making a genuine connection with women that's difficult do you have any tips on overcoming lust here's the thing with your connections with women you got to think about what your intention is ultimately and if you're committed to living a holy life and not fornicating then sex is out of the question and that way when you do talk with these women you are free from need you ever notice that you could talk to an ugly girl like you guys are best friends and you're witty and you're fun you might even like you might even be a little flirtatious but you know that you don't want to have sex with her or you have like a girl like a girlfriend like you have no intention like you would never you're not really attracted to her but you have great connection with her that's because you don't want anything from her and you don't think you're gonna get anything from her especially in terms of sex if you're dealing with women and the first thing to come to your mind is like how and when am I going to have sex with this woman you're going to deal with lust because now you're just like Pavlov's dog your mouth is water worry because somebody rang the bell when you the bell ringing is like hey you're going to get some food so if you're committed to weaponized Chastity and you're saving yourself a marriage then she have no problem because now you're looking at women for what they can really give you men actually give sex women receive sex I know that it seems strange that they're the Gateway but we are the givers of sex so you got to look at these women at what they're going to give me but not sex you're The Giver of sex what is she going to give you is she going to follow your lead is she going to cook for you is she going to make a good wife is she going to make a good mother and she's going to keep a good home and she clean and she respectful is she sober minded is she uh mannerly and this is gonna sound crazy too man stop putting emphasis on Dick feelings meaning you can make your boner go away by not pushing into your boner letting your boner be just the same way that you can control like any muscle in your body control your dick if you have a boner and it's not going to serve you make your boner go away this is way too deaden or pull energy away pull sensation away from your penis these guys will talk about sexual transmutation and you know Montauk Chia and like all this Dallas sex stuff it's not that mystical it basically means conscious control that's all it is bring the boner back inside bring the blood back inside and once you bring that hot blood back inside your body you could call it Chi you could call it you know or gone bioenergy or whatever you want but the bottom line is it's dick blood coming back in your body and it's going to fuel you with energy big dick energy bring that big dick energy back up into your body by breathing it back in you know when you have a boner and you do to you press into it you move your bone don't do that keep it still and if it moves then okay let it be see how long I got a timer okay how long can I keep until it moves again and you know then you start realizing I'm conscious over this I have conscious control over this cool 30 seconds this time go a minute This Time by the time a minute two minutes passes and you haven't done a dick jerk you haven't done a dick move the Dick Energy goes away and it comes back into your body gain total self-mastery and control over your drinking drugs overeating or viewing filth on your phone forever yo it's your bro Eliot Hulse here and if you're

vCYWOq9BRDk	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCYWOq9BRDk	Module 4 Session 10	hello i welcome all of you to session 3 presentation on design of slab base earlier we had two sessions with respect to design of slab base and if you just try to recollect so we had talked about some important introductory concepts connected with slab base we had discussed numerical problem on slab base ok simple slab base and then we have just talked about the bolted gusset reseted connection so let us try to go ahead with some problems with respect to welded connections of gazetted base so we just try to look at things that we have talked about as i did mention ok introduction to column base okay then types of column base slab base and gusseted base numerical examples okay and now we are just into another example here but this is about okay welded gusseted base now let's try to go through the problem that we have here correct so that is we are trying to have a column ishp 350 carrying a factored axial force of 1700 kilonewtons and we are trying to design a suitable welded gusset gusset base it rests on m20 grade concrete now in this particular case generally we can think of two possible arrangements okay of the gazette plates so in this particular problem we are trying to consider the gazelle plate to be placed parallel to the vape okay placed parallel to the way okay so this is what the problem states now as as we mentioned so the factored load is 1700 kilonewtons so properties of steel okay and the partial sid factors in this particular case there is a 410 grade the ultimate strength and the yield strength okay that is 410 and 250 megapascal then the partial factors there is gamma m0 and gamma mw that is we are trying to talk about welded connection here that's why we have gamma mw and we are assuming it has shopwell so the values are 1.10 and 1.25 they are picked up from table 5 of is 800 okay 2007. okay now coming to the bearing strength of concrete okay so it is m20 grade is what has been given here okay as per is 456 class 34.4 okay the maximum bearing strength is 0.45 ck so we are just trying to take it as 9 mega pascal so we do not want the stress on concrete okay to exceed 9 mega pascals in this particular case now properties of the the section ishb 350 you can look at the steel tables and then obtain the depth the width of uh the the breadth of flange thickness of launch and thickness of vape okay can be arrived at okay now the next thing is uh what should be the thickness of the gazer plate what should be thickness of the gazer plate so the same criteria that we had talked about in voltage connection correct so the thickness of the flange is 11.6 millimeters okay so the thickness of the gazer plate should be more than that so we are trying to assumed as 12 mm we are trying to assume the thickness of the gazette plate to be 12 mm in this particular case right because of the criteria now the next thing that we are trying to talk about is okay what should be the width of the plate that we are trying to have here width of the plate correct now when you just try to talk about one dimension of the base plate one dimension of the base plate so what we try to say is that will be equal to okay the width of the flange 250 and we have assumed okay the thickness okay of the ah plate as 12 mm so we are just trying to place one on either side okay of this section so we are just trying to say 2 into 12 okay that comes to be 274 millimeters 274 millimeters however okay we are just trying to place it uh keep it slightly larger okay so that okay my uh when uh so that i can just try to uh reduce okay the length of the gazette plate so that i can just try to uh uh uh i mean see that the compression uh i mean the the uh uh yeah buckling due to compression okay will be minimized from the gazette plate so i'm just trying to deliberately take a slightly larger value here okay so that okay i'm unnecessarily trying to see that my length of the gusset plate does not become too slender so i'm just trying to take it as 400 millimeters to be the width of the plate so obviously it should be more than this okay and i'm just trying to have an arrangement like this so just write notice here how i arrived at that number so i did tell you that it is 250 okay plus this thickness okay 12 mm and this thickness 12 mm so look at this so that is the is hb 350 column i mean sorry uh column that is that you are trying to see in plan i'm just trying to put a gazer plate okay 12 mm thick okay parallel to the web and one more thing parallel to the web so this is how i placed okay the two uh gazette plates you are trying to see this in plan this is in plan correct so minimum width is from here to here that would be 274 i am slightly exceeding that okay so i'm just trying to say let it be 400 okay and my projection here okay is 75 is what i'm just trying to have here so normally maximum 75 mm projection should be good enough so this is what i've just tried to do that okay and this is nothing but 350 okay the the uh i mean i mean depth of the column is what we are trying to have here but however okay i have not arrived at the length of the plate i have not still arrived at the length of the plate what i have done is only i've just arrived at the width of the plate okay based on this information okay based on this information ok now i'm just trying to uh go ahead with the length okay what would be the length of the plate that we need to have here so right now factored load 1700 we have arrived at that width okay with this information correct so let's try to first understand what should be the area required what should be the area required it's nothing but the factored load by the bearing pressure the bearing pressure i have assumed as 9 mega pascals so this is the area that we should have here in this particular case correct now if i just try to divide this area by the width of the plate correct so divide this area right by the width of the plate that is 400 okay we get this length as 472.22 mm that's the required length that we should have for the plate i'm just trying to slightly round it off to a slightly larger value and with this okay we have arrived at the size of the base plate that is 500 mm in length and 400 mm in in in width okay so that's what we have here so now we have arrived at this particular value also there is 500 earlier we had arrived at this particular number okay so with this we have freezed okay the size of the plate that means the length and width but however we have not arrived at the thickness we'll just try to ah i mean calculate that slightly later okay now coming to the gazette plate okay so how should you design your gazette plate how should you put your gazette plate now i said we already decided this okay it should be 12 mm it should be 12 mm does it a plate correct okay now regarding the height i am assuming okay let it be 200 mm right height of the guzzle plate let it be 200 mm between the column flanges between the column flange correct height and let that height reduce to 100 mm okay 100 mm at the edge is what we are trying to have here so in my next slide okay you're going to see that picture okay so the height reduces from 200 to 100 200 at the midpoint and then 100 height okay at the edges so regarding the length okay so it will be having a value of 350 millimeters okay between the columns okay that will be length is 350 and then it further extends okay to the length of the base plate which will be 500 millimeters 500 mm okay so this is equal to the column depth and this is equal to the length of the plate so we just try look at this so this is what i was trying to tell you correct so this is a plate that we are trying to see here that is the gazer plate now look at this the height of the digit plate here is 200 okay right at this point reduces to 100 okay at the age okay right so 200 okay it reduces 200 height and the length okay from 350 it increases to 500 okay i hope you are trying to understand so this is how we we are trying to put the gaza plate okay in this particular case okay that's how it has been designed correct i made clear so i hope you are trying to see ok now coming to the buckling of compression ok we are trying to just see how we can make some checks with respect to the buckling ok buckling of these gusset plates now as we had talked about in the previous case there is bolted connection again we are trying to make the check against buckling okay for our two edges okay one okay here that is the first edge that we are trying to make here that is between the two column flanges and the next one is the outstanding link that is okay that is the slant edge so for both these uh i mean lengths okay we are trying to make this buckling uh check okay whether it is uh the ratio okay slenderness ratio okay or this ratio of the length to thickness okay is it fine it's i mean we are just trying to check so let's try to take the first one okay here now we are trying to say that okay this is 350 that means the length here from here to here is 350 it has a thickness of 12 millimeters now we just write look from top okay please understand okay this is not connected to the column okay am i clear right it's it's it's just present at the edge of the column flanges that's what you need to understand so let's try to check the ratio of these two try to take the ratio of 350 by 12 okay and that happens to be 29.26 29.26 is the ratio of the length okay to the thickness of that and now we are trying to again use that uh table table 2 okay is 800 2007 okay check to what kind of section does it belong does it belong to plastic section or does it belong to compact section or semi compact or will it become slender ok we do not want it to become slender we are going to make a check of that okay so let us try to look at table 2 ok calculate epsilon okay because it is fy is 2 250 the value is 1 okay and the limiting width with respect to plastic section right happens to be 29.30 epsilon which is 29.30 29.30 okay so please understand we can check this this particular value okay to the limiting value of plastic section or limiting value of uh compact section or limiting value of okay section i make clear but it should never exceed the limiting value of semi compact section i hope you need to understand that okay so here this is the plastic section 29.30 epsilon or which is 29.30 so since the computed value of 29.16 is less than 29.30 you can understand that the section provided is plastic and adequate so you don't need to worry the buckling okay of the gusset plate between the column sections but however we need to just talk about the buckling of this portion we need to check this particular portion also correct so how do i calculate the length of that to begin with correct so this dimension okay is 100 this dimension is 75 you can calculate the hypotenuse of that okay that that will give you this the slant length okay or edge strand edge length of the gazette plate which we call as the outstanding portion okay so to begin with we are trying to say what is the outstanding leg i'm just trying to arrive at this number how do i get this okay so total width okay is 500 so 500 you deduct 350 half of that is 75 okay so that's what we've got here 75 so first get this and already we know this as hundred so obviously this slant length will be equal to root of 75 square plus 100 square and that's what are trying to do that okay so this is 75 mm we already have done that okay so this is square root of 75 square plus 100 square and that slant lead length is 125 and thickness we know it's 12 mm okay we know that played 16 12 mm now we take the ratio of 125 by 12. so what is 125 by 12 okay which is 10.41 having got this value again we go to table two okay and then check okay to what limiting value okay will this uh lie within which particular limiting value okay now look at this from table two the value of epsilon okay is again one because fy is 250 correct and we want to talk about this 10.41 so the this 10.41 okay satisfies the limiting value of semi compact section so for semi compact section the limiting value is 13.6 epsilon epsilon is 1 so it is 13.6 so this value is less than this so that means what okay so that then this is less than this so that means the section pla provided this gusset plate okay in the outstanding portion okay belongs to semi compact section and is adequate so you don't need to worry about the buckling of the plate so we have checked that two two places one is between the column flanges and then in the outstanding portion so in both cases right we are trying to say that okay it is not slender and and things are fine now coming to the last part that we are trying to talk about here with respect to the dimension we are trying to talk about the thickness of the base plate so we have already arrived the number that is length and breadth but we have not talked about the thickness okay of this particular plate correct so what should be the thickness is what we are trying to look at okay so we have here there is 500 and 400 now with this we try to calculate the pressure okay we try to calculate the what what is the pressure that we are trying to have here so that is 1700 is the total load that is a dimension you have this value and it is less than the bearing strength of the concrete so things are fine correct so whatever dimensions that we have provided okay is good enough okay if this is more than that obviously you have to increase this okay and then make sure that the the pressure is less than the bearing strength of the country now having done this the next thing is we would like to identify the critical section okay critical section where we have to calculate the benning moment okay right okay and then we have to just calculate to resist that bending moment what would be the thickness okay that we should provide for the base plate so that's what we are trying to now arrive at okay so now the critical section xx okay lies along line joining the toe of the column flanges so there are two column flanges that we are trying to have here so you have to just draw a line or it is you can clearly say that it is just beneath okay the two gazette plates that we are trying to talk about okay just right look at this in plan this is again a plan ok look at the critical section where we have drawn where you have drawn so this red line you are trying to see over here so this is the critical section that we are trying to consider and this is the line joining the uh the toe of the two flanges correct even it could be here okay so you can even take the critical section somewhere here right so it is symmetrical so you can either you can take this section here or here right is what you need to understand now having identified the critical section you know the uh i mean pressure okay that is that that the contract is uh offering okay right okay on the base plate so the next thing is we need to calculate this distance okay what is that distance 75 it's quite simple so the total width is 400 so from 400 you deduct 250 divided by 2 and that will be 75 the the cantilever projections that we have here and we will try to use that to calculate the bending moment correct so the next one that we are trying to talk about is okay calculate that cantilever projection so total width of the plate minus width of the flange divided by 2 that is 75 mm is what we have here so with this we are trying to calculate the bending moment at that critical section so we're trying to calculate bending moment in the critical section wl square by 2 please understand okay we'll we always trying to calculate this for one millimeter okay one mm width okay one mm width okay of the plate is what we are trying to calculate okay so just try to look at this wl square by 2 correct this cantilever length 8.50 the pressure that we calculated 75 square by 2 okay that is giving you this value of bending moment 23.906.25 the next question is okay to resist this what should be the thickness correct and for this we are trying to make use of this code that is class 8212 800 okay which gives you this expression okay which will try to calculate the moment carrying capacity okay of this particular plate okay so the expression is like this okay so we can substitute the value of fy zd and gamma m0 correct so f y is 250 gamma m 0 is 1.10 again you are trying to calculate the elastic section modulus for unit width that is bd square by 6 or 1 into t square by 6 okay we substitute everything ok these values on the right hand side this simplifies to 45.45 t square correct the next thing is we substitute this okay m db by that uh bending moment that we had calculated the critical section you simplify and then you get the value of t the value of t that you got is 22.93 millimeters okay you can just try to round it off and i'm trying to say okay so let's try to have the thickness of slab base as 24 mm so with this we have completely arrived at the uh dimension of the base plate so that means okay i'm trying to just make sure that okay this is larger than uh the thickness of the flange obviously it is more than thickness of launch so you can finalize the thickness as 24 okay with this we've got the size of the base plate that's nothing but 500 length 200 width and thickness has 24 millimeters correct so that's that's the uh i mean arrangement correct so this is the column flange correct so that's the column flange i mean column section that we have here okay the flanges and the vape correct and this is the gusset plate that we are trying to have here okay the orientation of the gazette plate is parallel to the web so that's the orientation of the two plates that are kept here correct and they all rest on the slab base okay this slab base okay a base plate is 24 mm thick 24 mm thick okay the diameter of the plate is 500 by 400 correct now the next thing is we have just to try to design the connection okay we have to design the welded connection correct so we have to design the welded connection correct now we are trying to talk about uh connection between the gusset plate okay and the flange okay and then the connection between the gusset plate and the ah base plate okay we are trying to do two two designs here so first thing as we had done in case of bolted connections we assume that the base of the column that is the end of the column gazette plate base or end of the column and the top of the base plate are perfectly machined okay so that okay so uh the load can be transferred through bearing okay if this is ensured please understand fifty percent of the total load will pass through directly by bearing and the remaining fifty percent of the load okay will be used for the design of welded connection correct so this is what you have to understand right so it's always wise to see that okay you just try to have this perfect bearing okay machining of the ends so that the load can be transferred 50 percent of the load can be transferred through bearing okay now let's try to understand so what part of the load okay we have to consider for the design of weld so total load is 1700 so you just divide by 2 that will be what okay 850 so 850 kilonewton load should be considered for the design of welded connection now of this 850 there are two gazette plates so half of this will go to plate one and half of that will go to plate 2. so each gusset plate okay will take a load of half of 850 that would be 425 so now we have to design the weld weld connection for to resist a load of 425 kilonewtons so this is what we need to understand here okay now the the important thing is where are we placing the welds where are we placing the welds look at this right so the welds are placed correct at these four corners this is in plan this is in plan okay and this weld correct okay is coming out of the plane of the board okay for a height equal to the height of the gusset ah gusset plate am i clear did you understand so you already have seen what the height of the gazette plate is 200 mm correct near the near the uh i mean flanges okay and then it tapers to 100 mm at the edge of the base plate is what we have said okay so you need to understand that okay the weld connection okay in each gazette plate will be ah and played with the column flanges will be along the height of the gazette that means 200 mm at the outer edge of the flange so look at this so this is the flange this is the outer edge that's the inner edge again this is the flange this is the inner edge that is the outer edge correct and now we are trying to connect the flange with the gazette plate so obviously this is the right place of connecting correct right plate of connecting so this point is not accessible properly correct because you've got some height and you have to just try to try to do this okay it's definitely not that clearly accessible we try to uh i mean see these four points okay has good points for us to build and the weld comes out of this for a length of a height of 200 mm correct is what you need to understand okay but however we are trying to design for only one plate when i say only one plate so what i mean weld here and weld here correct so the height of the weld here is 200 the height of weld here is 200 coming out of the board okay right now okay so for a for the total height of the gazette plate so that would be total available in this 200 millimeters okay that is sorry okay 200 plus 200 that will be 400 mm so let's look at this particular calculations that we have here so this is what i i did tell you there is okay 200 mm length okay height okay we are trying to make use of so design load we already seen this 425 kilonewton okay and then total available length okay is nothing but 400 because i did tell you uh we have 200 here and 200 here total 400 mm okay 200 mm vertically 200 mm vertically okay so that is 400 correct is what we are trying to have here okay this 200 is the height of the gusset plate that we are trying to have here now let us assume eight millimeter diameter uh i mean eight millimeter size weld okay in this particular case now coming to calculating the strength okay of of the weld so that means so class 10 5 7 1 1 is 800 2007 okay gives you the uh the weld strength okay the design strength of the weld is nothing but the cross sectional area length into throat thickness okay into fu by root 3 gamma mw correct is what we are trying to have this particular expression so now right now okay we are trying to equate this as the uh i mean uh uh load that the weld has to carry there is 425 ten to the power of three so that is the throat thickness okay point seven pi times eight that is six 6.4 and this gamma w is 1.25 so substitute all these things okay simplify and then try to get this value of l w okay the value of lw that we have got is 400.76 millimeters so that means weld length required is 400.76 millimeters okay but now please understand that okay the weld length available okay it's 400 less than 400.76 so what we say is ok its not sufficient ok so what is the next thing that we can do you can slightly increase the height of the gazette plate correct slightly increase the height of the gusset plate so earlier it was 200 now let us try to increase it to 210 so that means the length available for the weld is 2 times height that is 210 now we have what 420 millimeters so this 420 millimeter is more than 400.76 mm so that means ok so it is possible to uh resist okay the the load of uh 425 k in okay with two vertical uh uh i mean welds of length 210 okay it can easily take up that particular design load of 425 kn now this is how you try to design the gazette plate connection with the flanges now the next part would be design of a connection correct so i think we have slightly revised this okay so this is the revised gazette plate okay height uh i mean thickness 12 mm so earlier it was 200 now we just try to change it to 210 but this at the at the tapered end okay it is 100 these things will not change 350 mm is the length near the column flange and then okay uh it which reduces which increases to 500 mm at the edge of the edge of the base plate correct now the next part is okay yeah this is this this is the picture okay that we are trying to talk about okay and in this particular case uh you will be trying to understand that if i just try to ah draw the whale okay the weld would be placed here okay the weld would be placed here ok please understand ok so that is 200 okay i mean 110 plus ah 100 okay the total length is 200 um i think it would be good if i if i try to place it on the outer side not on the inner side okay so this is where okay we would like to place it okay that is accessible this accessible so from here as well as from there okay beside behind this okay you can easily place the belt okay the height of the weld is 200 plus 110 that is length is 210 plus 210 you get 420. so that's the first part there is a connection between uh the gazette plate and the column flange now we go to the next one okay does it plate with the base plate does it plate with the base plate now the thing is you need to understand ok how do i place the weld in this particular case so please understand that is in each case it will be equal to the outer edge of the gusset plate so that means okay so we have two gazette plates kept parallel to the wave okay so you have to just try to weld right or the length ok of the base plate okay we just try to provide and also we just try to come inside okay inner edge of the gazette plate from the end of the base plate to the calm flange i hope you can clearly understand that in the figure correct so please look at this okay that is a gazette plate so we're just trying to weld it on the outer side outer side correct so what is the total length 500 so we have got 500 here and we can also do it on the inside okay when i say inside it is from the edge to the flange okay from the edge to the flange correct so how do i get this length it's quite simple so from 500 deduct 350 350 is the column depth that we have here so that would be 150 divided by 2 so that will be 75 plus 75 correct so what is the total length that is available it is nothing but 500 plus 75 plus 75 that would be 650 millimeters correct 650 millimeters that's what we are trying to tell you here okay so along the outer edge of the gazette plate which is equal to the length of the base plate okay and then in the inner edge okay in the inner edge it starts from the edge of the base plate to the column flange so that is 75 plus 75 okay now with this information we are trying to say what is the total length available okay so 500 minus 500 minus 350 that would be 650 millimeters so we got 650 millimeters correct now you have to choose appropriate weld size okay now i am just trying to say let us try six millimeters let us try six millimeters because my length is only confined so i can just try to play around with this weld size okay if 6 mm is not sufficient you can go to 8 mm or you can try 5 mm like that okay so i'm just trying to take 6 mm and then just try to find out okay with this length okay right okay for this particular size and this length okay can it take a load of 425 or if i try to take 425 and put this what is the length of the weld required i can do in any way correct so again i'm just trying to use the same class here to calculate the strength okay twd that is the design strength of the weld now i'm just trying to equate this twd to 425 okay and i'm trying to check okay what length is required what length is required so i'm just trying to substitute this twd okay with 425 okay this is throat thickness okay point seven times six i'm assuming six mm well okay and this fu right is taken as uh 14 megapascals and gamma mw okay 1.25 so simplify you get this value of lw the value of lw is 534.35 so that means the weld range required is 534.35 millimeters but we already seen that the length available is 650 what we want is 534 so that's fine okay so the length required okay length required i made it clear right okay okay is 535 available is 650 right so it's perfectly it's fine okay it is perfectly fine okay available is more than required correct so this how you can try to design this and finally the last part that we are trying to talk about in this problem is the anchor bolts okay in this particular case again the base is subject to only axial load no bending moment okay so there will be the base is not subject to tension so provide nominal diameters 20 mm volts okay four numbers okay 600 in length one in each corner to keep the base plate in position and this is how it looks in plan okay i'm just trying to place four volts in this particular case so this how you can just try to uh talk about designing a welded gusseted base plate okay try and trying to keep the gazette plate okay parallel to the vape i hope you have understood this particular discussion clearly now let us try to go to the next problem in the next problem the orientation the gusset plate will not be parallel to the vape it will be parallel to the flanges just like what we had in case of a bolted connection so let's try to look at this particular problem okay verbatim it's almost the same but the only thing is the last statement that we are trying to say here is okay the gusset plates are parallel to the flanges correct so again so the a column section is given it's it's trying to take a load of 1700 k in factored okay the grid of concrete is m20 okay and we're trying to design a suitable welded i mean as a gazette base in this particular case okay and now we are trying to say that the gusset plates are kept parallel to the flanges parallel to the flanges correct so this is the data that has been given in the problem so let's like look at this problem and see how we are trying to look at uh try to solve this particular problem so as usual okay the factored load again here we are trying to take the same thing as 1700 so these are steps okay that are uh again uh repeated okay even in this particular problem okay that is the grid of steel for f if we 410 grid of steel we got fu got fy and again the partial set vectors gamma m0 gamma mw picked up from table 5 of a is 800 and this is the bearing strength of the concrete okay so 0.45 ck taken from is456 2000 plus 34.4 okay the the the strength is 9 megapascals okay is the bearing strength of the concrete it should not exceed the pressure should not exceed this particular value and for this particular section you can pick up these numbers okay from the steel table okay that's the depth of the section the width of the flange the thickness of flange and the thickness of the wave all these things are available in the steel table okay now let's start okay size of the gazette plate and size of base plate okay so what should be the size of the base plate that you have to provide and what should be the size of the gazette plate so let's start with the thickness of the ah gusset plate thickness of the gazette plate correct so as as we have said that the the thickness of launch is 11.6 correct and hence the thickness of the gazette should be more than thickness of launch so let us try to assume okay a thickness of 12 mm in this particular case let us try to assume a thickness of 12 millimeters in this particular case which is more than 11.6 that is fine so with this information the next part that i am trying to talk about is okay how do i fix up the length okay of the gazette of the i mean uh base plate okay so i'll just try to go to the next picture so that you'll be very you'll understand what i'm just trying to talk about so right now okay this is 350 so that is 350 and then i'm just trying to keep one plate here and one plate here correct this the thickness of the plate is 12 mm so 12 mm 12 mm plus 350 that would be 374. so obviously my length of the plate base plate should be more than 374 is what we are trying to say here so look at this okay that is 350 is the depth of the column that is section of the column okay and two gazette plates of thickness 12mm kept on either side of launch okay so that is 374 however i'm just trying to take the length of the plate to be 450 mm slightly larger than what is required okay so my total length i'm just trying to take is 450 millimeters okay with that okay the projections here will be 50 and 50. okay notice that 350 plus 50 plus 50 that will be 450 correct so anyway this is nothing but the width of the flange okay width of the flange but this is the breadth i have not calculated i have not calculated the breadth i'll just try to come and calculate the next part would be to calculate the breadth okay of this particular uh i mean the base plate okay is what i am just trying to calculate right okay so right now i i know the factored load i have assumed the uh length as 450 millimeters now i am just trying to calculate the required area correct what is the required area that is nothing but the total load okay by the bearing pressure that is nine so that gives you the required area you already know the length okay you don't already know the length so with this information you can calculate what is the required width of the plate okay so required width of the plate would be nothing but okay this area required area by the length 419 i'm just trying to take it as 420 millimeters so with this the size of the base plate that we are trying to talk about is 450 by 420 millimeters correct so this how i have arrived at the size of the base plate i have not arrived at the thickness thickness will just try to calculate from bending moment criteria okay bending moment criteria correct now the next one is the size of the plate right okay so this is how we have done it so i have just try to arrive at this value with this value i think we know what these projections are 85 85 so deduct 250 from 420 and then divided by 2 that will give you these projections so with this okay we have fixed freeze the size of the size of the plates now coming to the gazette plate okay we already have ah assume this 12 mm correct in this particular case now with respect to the height let me assume that height has 150 mm right at the midpoint that is near the column flanges and let us assume that they gradually decrease okay the height reduces from 150 to 100 at the age now coming to the length of the gazette plate the length of the gazette plate will be 250 mm which is equal to flange width near the mid portion and then increases okay to the width of the base plate okay so that will be equal to the width of the base plate which is nothing but 420 mm so that means height 150 to 100 okay reduces width okay it increases from 250 to 420 and you can clearly see that particular information correct so the height here is 150 correct so from 150 it reduces to 100 correct from 150 to reduce to 100 the width increases from 250 to 420 okay so this is how the gusset plate ok looks in this particular discussion correct now we again trying to check the uh i mean buckling okay of the uh i mean gusset plates correct and again we are trying to check at two edges okay first edge here and the second edge here so at these two edges we are trying to check okay the the buckling of the gazette plate now coming to the first one portion in the column flange so portion in the column flange is this so this is the portion in the column flange okay and you need to understand that you need to understand here correct so we are trying to weld okay in this particular region correct so the gazette plate will be welded to the flange in this particular portion when you're trying to weld the the gusset plate to the column flange please understand okay you don't need to check buckling because it is in contact okay buckling happens okay along the edge if it is not supported but here it is completely supported you don't need to really really check with respect to the buckling on that particular portion so we are trying to say that okay the in this particular portion correct right so it is it is welded in this particular portion so you don't need to don't need to check okay the buckling in that particular portion so we are through with this edge now the next thing is we need to check okay the buckling in the in that particular portion that slant edge so the first thing that we need to understand here is the outstanding portion here is 85 here okay and this portion is 50 so you can easily calculate the hypotenuse here okay that is root of 85 square plus 50 square that will give the length of the slant edge and that's what we are trying to do in the next slide okay so first thing that we are trying to talk about is okay this one 85 okay we are trying to talk about 85 okay how do we get this 85 total with this 420 you deduct 250 divided by 2 you get that okay that's outstanding length in the horizontal direction okay now this difference is 50 as you are trying to understand because the plate has reduced its height from 150 to 100 okay so now we have got this value so that is 85 already done that okay this is square root of 85 square plus 50 square okay so that leave you 95.62 millimeters so what is 95.62 millimeters this length this length is 95.62 millimeters and now the thickness of that particular plate is 12 so now i hope you remember we take the ratio of s naught by t g correct so right now the ratio of s naught by t g happens to be 7.97 so again with this information we need to check okay so this satisfies okay which criteria whether it satisfies plastic section criteria or compact section criteria semi compact section criteria or or will it go to slender sections correct now we go to table two okay of is 800 and then get this value of epsilon okay since fy is 250 epsilon values 1 and for plastic sections okay plastic sections okay this has 8.4 times epsilon okay is what we have here okay so that would be eight point four now we try to make a comparison of seven point nine seven correct seven point nine seven is eight point four so it is less so obviously whatever is plate section or guess it plate section that we have provided is of plastic section okay and is adequate is what you need to understand so when you're trying to check this please understand that these criterias are different for welded connections and bolted connections okay you have to look at that properly and then understand this particular information okay now coming to the next part okay that would be to find the thickness of the plate thickness of the plate that is base plate correct so we try to calculate the pressure and then the critical section and then the bending moment and then we try to use that uh equation given in is 800 to calculate the thickness first part okay whereas the dimensions of the plate are fixed 450 by and 200 with this you calculate the ah pressure okay that we have on the plate okay so bearing pressure on concrete or on the plate okay obviously there action reaction so we just try to calculate this as 8.99 okay almost nine you can just try take it as nine mega pascals now with this okay we try to calculate what is the critical section x x okay that we have ok in this particular case ok where is the critical section now this critical section is at the flange column right so again we just write look at this so this is where the critical section is critical section correct right here that's a critical section correct is it all right so where is the critical section right beneath the gusset plate okay i made clear so again just try to say that okay at the face of the column flange okay the critical section exists so with that information we need to understand so what is this length what is this length so total is 450 this is 350 you deduct 350 from 450 divided by 2 you get the cantilever portion you get the cantilever length i made clear so this part okay will try to come up because of pressure okay cantilever plate correct now you need to understand that this is that is 50 millimeters is what we have got so with this information okay we now try to calculate the value of uh the the bending moment correct so the bending moment is what wl square by 2 8.99 into 50 square by 2 and you get the value of bending moment at the critical section as 11 250 newton millimeters now the next question is to resist this particular bending moment what should be the thickness of the base plate is what we are trying to arrive at okay so we just try to look at this particular class okay a 2 1 2 i is 800 okay so this is the expression that has been given okay the right hand side f y z and gamma m naught so we are trying to assume these values and again we are trying to calculate the elastic section modulus okay we are trying to use the expression b d square by six so b is one millimeter width okay so with this information you just try to express what is mdb in terms of t square so the value of mdb in terms of t square is 45.45 t square now substitute the value of mdb as that bending moment okay that we had calculated the critical section so with this information calculate the thickness okay 15.73 and now you are trying to say it is 16 millimeters so with this we have arrived at all the dimensions okay of the base plate and now we are trying to even check the 16 millimeters with respect to the thickness of the flange which is 11.7 mm so this is more than that so i can just try to take this value and with this okay we have arrived at the dimension of the base plate which is nothing but a 450 by 400 by 60 millimeters now comes the last part that is regarding the connection okay welded connection right is what we are trying to talk about okay now design of welded connection is it all right this is what we are trying to talk about now again when it is trying to talk about this design of welded connection so again we are trying to say that the end of the column uh uh the the end of the column the end of the gazette gazette plate and the top of the base plate are all measured perfectly okay they're all measured perfectly correct so all these things are measured perfectly that being the case 50 percent of the load is i mean transferred through bearing and the remaining 50 percent of the load correct is transferred by the weld connection is what we are trying to tell okay remaining part 50. so again let's try to have a look at it okay so that means of the total load 7 1700 by 2 okay only 850 kn we have to take for design of welded connection however there are two gusset plates correct so each gazette plate okay we are going to weld so only half of this okay is what we are going to consider for each gusset plate for each gusset plate we try take only 425 kn now we are going to talk about two connections here okay so connection one the first connection is between what the gazette plate correct and the flange of the column gazette plate and the flange of the column correct is what we are trying to talk about now i think my next slide okay will give you a good information about how we are trying to place the weld so we are trying to just connect okay we're just trying to weld okay the the top of the gazette plate with the flange okay that would be a horizontal welding and whatever you're trying to see this red line okay is within it is is inside i made clear is on the other side because we have got the gazette plate here because that plate here so that means on the rear side or inside of this particular gazette plate all along the length of this particular flange you are trying to build so now you need to notice that what is the total weld length available so total weight length available is the width of the flange plus height of the gusset plate so what is the width of chlange it is 250 correct what is the height of this 50 plus 150 that is 250 what is the height of this that is again 150. so total length available 150 plus 150 that is 300 plus 250 that would be 550 millimeters so that's what i have written here so just try to check here the weld connection in each gusset plate with the column flange will be along the width of the column flange that is stop we said 250 correct and and along the length of the column okay length of the column okay which is equal to the height of the gazette which is 150 mm at the two edges of the flange okay two edges of flange so this is what we've got two edges of the flange for a height which is equal to the height of the gazette plate 150 plus the width of flange which is 250 and now with this information you can easily calculate okay the total i mean well length available 250 plus 2 into 50 that is 550 millimeters correct so that is the weight length available that we are trying to have here and now we are trying to use 6 millimeters weld size i'm just trying to use a six millimeter weld size and then i'm going to check okay if i'm using six millimeter weld size to resist this force of 425 what should be the total uh length of the weld i need to provide correct and is it less than this available we are going to make a check okay in that particular direction okay so again i'm trying to use that expression 10 5 7 1 1 is 800 2007 okay where we are trying to calculate the strength of the weld okay so that is l w t e f u by root three into gamma m w so the information that we are trying to talk about is okay i'm trying to assume this as four twenty five ten times 3 okay the the total value of load that the weld has to resist and then throat thickness i had assumed 6 mm weld okay so 0.7 times 6 that is 4.2 and then for fu okay it is 14 and then gamma mw it is 1.25 and then i just try to calculate lw the value of lw right now is 534.35 that means required well length right now is 534.35 okay we just write recollect the available is 550 yeah definitely more than this correct so we're trying to say that okay well length available is more than required that means 550 more than this okay right that is fine okay right so this how you can check right with respect to if if this is not sufficient so probably either you can ah increase the height of the uh gazette plate or you can increase the size of the weld i make clear so you can just try to do one of the things over there now coming to the second connection that we are trying to talk about the second connection is between the gusset plate okay and the base plate okay the first was between the gusset plate and the flange the second one is between the gusset plate and the base plate so before i read the statement so let's try look at this where are we placing the ah weld okay so just try to look at the uh i mean gazette plate so the first one is we are just trying to take okay the uh length of the weld on the outer side of the gazette outer side of the gazette and then on the inside only from the edge towards the flange correct so that means on the outer side we just right take over the entire width what is the entire width 420 correct on the inside okay we just try to start from the h and go only up to the flange only up to the flange okay this and this plus this so that's the total length available okay for the weld correct so that sums up as 420 plus this plus this how do i calculate this distance so i just deduct from 420 okay 250 okay so the remaining distance will be divided by 2 that will be 75 here and 75 here so that means total wavelength available is 420 plus 75 plus 75 that would be 150 plus 420 that will be 570 millimeters so let me just try to go back here and then try tell you okay so the total weld length that we are trying to have here would be along the outer edge of the gazette plate which is equal to width of the plate which is something about 420 millimeters okay and along the inner edge okay right of the gusset plate it starts from the edge of the base plate and goes up to the flange which would be 75 okay on on one side and 75 mm on the other side so with this information correct so the total length available so that would be 420 okay plus 150 that would be 570 mm now again we try to choose the size of the weld let's try to say six millimeters and then use that formula that we are trying to have here in ten five seven one one is eight hundred to calculate the design well strength okay that is twd equal to lw into t by into fu by root 3 gamma mw correct so again as usual twd 425 10 to the power of 3 and then the throat thickness 0.7 times six that is four point two then fu right 14 and then gamma mw partial z vector 1.25 calculate lw and that happens to be 434 so that means the required weld length okay that we now have that we now should have is 534.35 now we try to compare with the length available right so length available is 570 more than this yeah that is fine correct so again as i did tell you that in case this is uh less than this that means the welding available is less than the width required probably you can increase the thickness of the weld size of the weld okay so six you can take eight and then you can try to do this calculation ok now coming to the last part of the discussion that we are trying to talk about so anchor bolts right again as usual it is subject to only axial compression no bending moment okay and hence the base plate not subject to tension okay so we provide okay four anchor bolts nominal diameter say 20 mm okay and length six and red okay we just try to keep four one in each corner to keep the base plate in position correct so that's how we are trying to place these bolts okay so one at each corner okay these are nominal just to hold down the base plate in position okay so i hope uh this how you try to do these kind of problems all right i hope you have enjoyed learning ok this particular discussion on design of base plates so we have just talked about some introductory concepts okay about design of base plates and two types of base plates that is slab based and gusseted base so we have worked examples okay both with respect to slab base as well as uh i mean uh more gazetted base that is bolted connection as well as because i mean welded connection i hope we have really uh uh i mean gained some good information ok with respect to these presentations so with this i conclude the presentation with respect to uh the design of base plates so i think we have done three sessions i hope it was very informative thank you for listening to this particular presentation

eQlq2VGdSf0	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQlq2VGdSf0	Vivo X90 Pro Plus Pubg Gaming Test!	hey guys Thunder e here and welcome to my very last gaming video of the year uh but the first gaming video for Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 yes Qualcomm just announced it it's finally here the first device is the Vivo X90 Pro Plus this has the Snapdragon H gen 2. we're going to see how well it performs in this video gaming wise especially when we look at a Snapdragon H gen 1 device as a comparison to see what that leap is all about in terms of performance now Vivo has crafted a devices really nice I love the faux vegan leather on here I also like the fact that the case feels exactly like the back of the device so putting on this case here it doesn't take anyone away from the Aesthetics of the device you've got a quad camera setup here which is pretty cool but we're not talking about cameras in this video I'll attach them some images for you guys at the end to see what the camera is like but if you guys want a camera comparison with say the Galaxy S 22 Ultra or the pixel 7 Pro let me know and I'll definitely do that for you now in terms of gaming Hardware here as I mentioned Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 we have up to 12 gigabytes of RAM you can go up to 512 gigabytes of storage here our display is a 6.78 inch AMOLED display 120 hertz Dolby Vision HDL 10 plus again High refresh rate is pretty good and allows you to do more on this device so what does that mean in terms of performance Qualcomm talked about increased performance in terms of GPU and CPU but what does that mean first off let us run a geekbenchmark just to see where the benchmarks land so for geekbenchmark our single core is 1478 and our multi-core is 5110 that is quite impressive uh it seems like a high number but what does that mean from last year with the Snapdragon 8 gen 1 so AKA this year well looking at the Galaxy s22 Ultra its single core was 894. so basically that's way less than the single core for this a Gen 2 device and its multi-core is 2911 for the Galaxy while the Vivo X90 Pro Plus is 5110 so again a huge jump in terms of just raw performance that we're seeing here on geekbench which is pretty nice uh to see in terms of just performance so the next thing of course is gaming how does it fare when we play the games we want to play now let me just put this caveat here guys none of these games are optimized for this chipset again it was just announced a month ago this device is just here most of these games have not gone into any kind of at least adaptation for the new chipset but what kind of performance do we get so we're running uh my favorite Benchmark tool game bench and then I ran just three games for this and I also looked at the temperatures on this device now it's not indicative of the temperatures of the chipset it's just how this device is built games are called Duty mobile pubg mobile and of course gentian impact so when we go ahead and we check a force Call of Duty mobile just to start we can run it at a very high frame rate and around two sessions in this game and I got 90 frames per second uh CPU usage was 12 not much of CPU GPU is up to 40 and around resources in terms of rams about 853 megabytes of ram that is pretty nice in there frame rates also stayed pretty steady there were some times they dropped down of course the average was probably around in the 80s but still stayed pretty strong overall so that's actually pretty cool now on pubg mobile what kind of performance do we actually see here with pubg mobile playing that of course uh smooth extreme we're able to get a solid 60 frames a second which is to be expected that's something that we tend to see topics sent CPU usage 13 GPU usage so which means there's not a lot of usage there so I'm sure they can be optimized to do more and RAM usage is 537. again not a lot of usage here in terms of your CPU and GPU now playing at uh uh Ultra HD Ultra we got 40 frames per second I didn't get any more information in terms of CPU or GPU usage here but it ran steady at 40 frames which was also solid so again similar numbers that we had last year and that's not a big problem so what about Genji's in bats now remember gentian impact is a game that very few devices could run at 60 frames per second for 30 minutes we've looked at the Galaxy s20 22 Ultra we've looked at even the iPhone uh Fortune Pro Max we've looked at the OnePlus 10t which actually did pretty well this is usually reserved for your gaming phones that have of course a a cooling I can say at a higher clock rate constantly but what about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with the Vivo X90 Pro Plus so again Shin we played for 30 minutes and 10 seconds and we got 59 frames per second yes we got 59 frames per second on this device playing the engine impact now in terms of research usage you can see here that CPUs have at 24 GPU was at 71 so a lot of high GPU usage but not maxed out so which means we could definitely run at close to 60 frames on which is basically 59 constantly for 30 minutes of gameplay which is quite impressive RAM usage was quite High though at uh 1569 so about 1500 for RAM usage but this allowed us to stay at that effective frame rate quite well so I definitely liked seeing that here and this is not a gaming phone this is a phone that Vivo has built around the camera but it's running the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and that kind of gaming performance has been quite impressed now when it comes to temperatures the temperatures on this device I got up to about 104 degrees in terms of temps which is actually pretty solid I think they've done a good job so temperatures and also the chipset also adds to that 490 meter uh nanometer chipset that also does a good job in terms of cooling we saw that improvement from the Snapdragon 8 plus gen 1 so we've seen that continue here with the 8th Gen 2 and again a huge leap from the 8 uh H gen one that is pretty nice to see these temperatures and also Divas will be done a pretty good job with their pooling internally to see what that means for other devices that are more gaming Focus or even devices that are true gaming phones or something like the Galaxy s23 Ultra which should be running the higher clock frequency device plus once developers start optimizing their games for this new chipset we might see more fine-tuned performance maybe better research management and usage all around so I really like that now the other thing I just want to add here in terms of gaming is some of the gaming features that have been including this device from Vivo Vivo has its game center it's Game Hub where you have a couple of options here you have performance panel that allows you to go to boost modes basically put a higher clock speed you can also customize your refresh rate and of course your touch sampling at high then you've got your game tools and a bunch of tools here for voice changer blocking notification motion controls to put that in there your peripheral settings but nothing for an FPS counter and then we've got a small window just bringing up your home screen as a window so again that is pretty nice and I'm glad that is there on this device now in terms of images as I mentioned I'm not going to be talking about images in full detail in this video if you want to see more definitely go ahead and uh leave your thoughts Down Below on if I should do a comparison with the s22 ultra or the pixel 7 Pro now take a look at some of these images let me know what your thoughts are but in terms of gaming guys what do you think of these numbers these are quite impressive to me especially for something that's not optimized I am quite happy with that so guys um if you have any questions or any comments let me know otherwise don't

well I've been hearing the phrase I need to get my life together more than I usually do so I wanted to make a video of the top three things that I do when I just feel like I need to get my life in order if you're new to this channel uh know that I have recently moved into my first home and I've said this many times that moving into a home really is the constant feeling of I need to get my life together because you are now like redesigning an entire living space and environment and it's very overwhelming um on top of moving I also moved full-time jobs in the middle of moving something I never ever recommend you try but if you feel like you just need to get your life together here are the top three things that I do to get everything in [Music] order if you are drowning in a million things you need to get done first of all it is super super stressful and it affects like I don't know about you guys but it affects my anxiety and my sleep if I have a lot of things to do do your brain and your stress level a huge favor and just sit down take a deep breath pull out a piece of paper make a master list list everything doesn't have to even be in order just sit down and have like a brain dump onto a piece of paper Master list everything that needs to get done even if it's something reoccurring if it has to get done it goes on the list then once that's all done and in front of you take another deep breath look at the list Circle two to three things to do on that list today I recommend going with the ones that are time sensitive and then tomorrow choose another two two to three things this list is not something that needs to get done right away I mean unless you need to pay like a huge amount of bills and they have to go quickly then I would just say pay bills and then pay all of them but generally speaking try to do two to three things on that list a day my second tip is to get a planning or organizational system that works for you some people are very into planners some people are very into paper planners some people are only into online or or you know phone planners or like Outlook or whatever you use as an online calendar find what works for you for me personally I like to have a paper planner for like my personal life YouTube all that and then I have an electronic calendar because I have to share it at my work so it's kind of nice to have like a work Play balance I have a calendar for work I have a calendar for personal for my personal calendar I like to have different colors of like pens or markers I have a color for for bills and like reoccurring expenses I have a color for side hustles I have a color for my regular reoccurring job I have a color for YouTube I have a color for miscellaneous I like to just have everything out in front of me if you're somebody that struggles with stressing about these things having them all in one place helps immensely and my third and final tip I'm trying to keep these tips nice and low so I decided to go with three my third and final tip is to choose one day a week to get your life on track for me personally I made Thursday my day to get everything in order it used to be on Sunday and then I realize that I wanted that day to prepare for the week like in other ways like just to relax since I was going to you know start the 5-day Work Week um so I made Thursday the day that I would do all of my you know weekly chores to keep everything in order I will actually read you my Thursday to-do list and this is in my planner for example this Thursday I will do the laundry take out the trash put gas in my car get groceries clean my bathroom vacuum and meal prep that's a lot of stuff to do on a Sunday but what I'll do is I'll come home on Thursday I won't make any plans Thursday night um actually I will leave work and I will go do the things outside of the house first I will get groceries and gas on my way home as soon as I come in the door I won't even take my coat off I will take the trash out since I live in Ohio and it's cold a lot it hasn't decided if it's spring yet then I will start my laundry my laundry is in my bathroom so while the laundry is being put in the bathroom I will clean my bathroom it takes like a whole 3 minutes spray down the mirror SP on the counters wipe it up if you just make routines and kind of you know don't cut corners but find you know the shortest distance between two points as a straight line find the shortest distance make it as easy for you as you can again if one day is too much and like your anxiety is just not going to work try picking two days a week to get your life in order it's just whatever works for you everything is trial and error and what works well with me might not work well with somebody else you just really have to try and see what works for you but those are my three tips on how to get your life back in order if you have anything that has really worked for you I'd be very interested in hearing it please

JUT6PyS0pac	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUT6PyS0pac	4.3.1 Criminal Law Meeting 4 Part 3 (start)	We've covered a lot of material  in a short period of time.   It is basic stuff; but basic does not mean easy.  It will become easy once we get the hang of it.   To get the hang of it, we have  to apply it over and over.   To understand something --anything-- is to  be able to explain it to someone else. When   our explaining sounds halting or hesitant  to our own ears, we need to ask questions.   Here's Dilbert's co-worker, Wally,  explaining something to a new hire:   "The first thing you need to know is that we  never use the DPX system when the MGB is down."   The new hire asks, "The what, and the what?"  Wally says, "Hold your questions to the end."   My advice is: do not hold  your questions till the end.   We have a little ways more to go  before we're done with omissions. Suppose the woman pictured here  --let's call her Corvette Lady--   runs over a child. It would be silly for her  to ask the judge to instruct the jury that the   prosecution bore the burden of showing that she  had a legal duty to act. Corvette Lady's failure   to steer the car or hit the brakes is not treated  as an omission, but as a voluntary action. We dip   one last time into the Restatement (2d) of Torts  for an explicit statement of this obvious point: "If a force is within the actor's control   his failure to control it is  treated as though he were actively   directing it and not as a breach of a duty to take  affirmative steps to prevent its continuance."   Corvette Lady of course performed the voluntary  act of taking her hands off the steering wheel.   That action was reckless. There's no real need  to call or failure to grab the wheel and act of   actively directing the car. But now watch  the video that's next in this playlist....	William A.

Michael Condrey the pair formerly worked at visceral games and are responsible for the creation of dead space the company is an independent wholly owned subsidiary of Activision and is based in Foster City California the studio is known for Co developing call of duty modern warfare 3 with Infinity Ward and developing Call of Duty advanced warfare as well as Call of Duty World War 2 topic history sledgehammer games co-founders Scofield and Condry worked together at Electronic Arts in 2005 on double-oh-seven From Russia With Love with Condrey as director and Scofield executive producer the collaboration carried forward to dead space the two men had complementary skills and similar backgrounds middle-class with fathers in the construction business after founding sledgehammer games in July 2009 Scofield and Condry made Activision a proposal they would attempt to replicate their success with dead space with a third-person spin-off of the Call of Duty franchise Activision sat on the proposal for weeks until Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick offered to bring the studio into the Activision fold Scofield and Condry accepted viewing Activision's independent studio model as an opportunity to preserve the company's creative culture development methodology and staff while having the security of an alliance with the industry's largest publisher sledgehammer games spent six to eight months working on the Call of Duty project in 2009 enough to produce a prototype with about 15 minutes of play the game would have reportedly extended the franchise into the action-adventure genre but a legal battle between Infinity Ward the studio behind the modern warfare franchise and co-founders Jason West and Vince Zampella resulted in the pair's departure they took several Infinity Ward employees with them to their new company leaving Activision with about half the staff and a deadline of about 20 months versus a typical 24 months to complete the next game in the franchise call of duty modern warfare 3 Activision requested that sledgehammer games stop work on the third person shooter and collaborate with Infinity Ward instead the offer was a gamble for both sides Activision was calling on a studio that had not put out a game on its own while sledgehammer games would be abandoning weeks of work in the genre they were most familiar with to take on a punishing schedule in a high-profile franchise Infinity Ward was more likely to receive credit for any success while sledgehammer games was apt to be blamed for any failure the studio first pulled its staff and got unanimous approval it was a massive risk for Scofield and condor ease new studio and one that most outside of the industry never considered wrote ryanflemington Digital Trends the Infinity Ward name was the marquee on the modern warfare franchise but failure to deliver on Activision's golden egg would have resulted in a wave that crippled those in its path looking back at the success of that game and franchise as a whole it is easy to overlook the chance sledgehammer took the collaboration with Infinity Ward marked the first time a Co development relationship would produce a modern warfare title with both companies logos appearing on the packaging despite the company's differing histories and development methodologies games Tim called the arrangement a rare symbiotic relationship for such a high profile game the two teams first met in the spring of 2010 to compare ideas there was some overlap both teams wanted to set the game in Europe and recalled Schofield achieve a payoff on the story that had been told over the last four years it was announced in February 2014 that sledgehammer games would be developing a new Call of Duty title slated for release in late 2014 on May 1st Game

Call of Duty World War 2 it was released on November 3rd 2017 in February 2018 Glenn Schofield and Michael Condrey left sledgehammer games but still working with Activision topic operations and

walking shoes or if you're a person who likes to walk Barefoot take your shoes off because this is where we're going we're going through 500 years of the history of Uganda 300 years that the the political history of Uganda 300 years of the economic history of Europe and then we're going to look at the history of Western ideas our goal and we've got an hour we'll be fine our goal is to understand social structures so that we can understand how to change them I want to suggest to you that the Baha'i Revelation views social structures as embodiments of thought which are built up slowly over time self-interested turning away from God's thought gradually creates social structures which hold people in oppressive patterns of action Injustice is not inherent in societies it's not automatically there like bad weather Injustice is created by people through intensely selfish thought that shapes action and shapes humans institutions it builds up layer by layer and people live inside of it and consider it to be natural we are liberated from oppressive social structures by thought that comes from God human beings responding to the will of God gradually create social structures which purify human actions Empower people and engender Justice if we look at this idea this concept carefully and we find this concept in the Revelation if we look at it carefully it reveals to us aspects of the Baha'i Revelation which we don't always pay as much attention to as we might one thing that comes into focus is human agency this is useful for us because it helps us understand what we are actually doing in the world and it also can help us communicate what we're doing in a way that doesn't seem naive in a way that also attracts people so I want you to pay attention to human agency to the consequences of human actions and what I'm going to be talking about another thing that I hope will come into focus is imitation it's really important for us to look at how often in the Baha'i writings baha'u'llah and Abdul Baha and show gifendi are talking about imitation and the consequences of imitation so pay attention to that the power sorry about that the power of thought to shape social structures is the theme of The Secret of divine civilization and when Abdul Baha writes about thought he's writing not only about conscious thought but also people's motivations and intentions their will we can see how this happens in a statement of shogi offendes where through his secretary shogi offendi says we can many of you are familiar with this but let's just listen to it again we cannot segregate the human heart from the environment outside us and say that once one of these is reformed everything will be improved man is organic with the world his inner life molds the environment and is its elf itself also deeply affected by it the one acts upon the other and every abiding change in the life of man is the result of these Mutual interactions Mutual reactions so we act on the world and the world acts on us here's a really clear example of this from thought all the way to social structure Abdul Baha says National boundaries and racial distinctions have been created by despots and conquerors who sought to attain dominion over mankind thereby engendering patriotic feeling and rousing selfish Devotion to merely local standards of government and he goes on to paint this picture of despots and conquerors living in luxury the consequence of their manipulations of humanity well the people of their country the soldiers and the tillers of the soil shed their blood and die sacrificing their lives for a delusion it's a very powerful statement and let's think about where we see human agency in it National boundaries this institution which is is is so fundamentally a part of the structure of society that we don't question it Abdul bahas says it comes out of selfish motivations a manipulation and because man is organic that with the world this assertion of self is made and then people begin to live inside it and see it as natural but the origin itself of motivations of those who sought to attain dominion over mankind the consequence of this interchange of people affecting the world and in turn being deeply affected by it is can be that it can be an unthinking imitation of the past baha'u'llah and Abdul Baha both clearly indicate that self-interest the desire to main control maintain control over followers motivates leaders to promote a blind imitation of the past describes this as encrustation he says the dogmas and blind imitations which have gradually encrusted it and which are the cause of the decline and effacement of the nation so think about this image let encrustation implies layering right layering and hardening and since Clay is often an image for the desires of Self in the Baha'i writings we can think upon layer and upon layer of the clay of human desires shaping the Societies in which we live what dissolves the accumulated accretion of selfish thought we know the answer to that right the word of God is not this is baha'u'llah is not the object of every Revelation to affect a transformation in the whole character of mankind a transformation that shall manifest itself both inwardly about both outwardly and inwardly that shall affect both its inner care life and external conditions for if the character of mankind be not changed then the futility of God's Universal manifestations would be apparent religions transforms the whole character of mankind the inside of human beings the outside of social structures it dissolves the hardened clay now I'm going to read you another quotation of baha'u'llah and this time it's one that we're very familiar with but as I read it to you I want you to think about what it's saying about human agency about the process that baha'u'llah is outlining for us of how Injustice is overcome okay Justice in this day is bewailing its plight and Equity growneth beneath the Yoke of Oppression the thick clouds of tyranny have darkened the face of the Earth and enveloped its peoples through the movement of our pen of Glory we have at the bidding of the omnipotent ordainer breathed a new life into every human frame and instilled a fresh word into every word of fresh potency wherefore fear ye o my beloved ones who is it that can dismay you a touch of moisture suffices to dissolve the hardened clay out of which this perverse generation is molded the creative energies of God's will for Humanity takes shape in new institutions and this is the characteristic of the age that we live in the formative age of the faith this is the time when the creative energies of the Revelation are crystallizing into institutions that will realize God's intentions for Humanity Hooper dunbar's work the forces of our time is a brilliant exposition of this theme and I'm deeply indebted to that work in this talk okay in the writings of the Bob as well as baha'u'llah and Abdul Baha crystal is an image of purity and let's think about it in geological terms Crystal forms when extremely strong pressure forces molecules into perfectly regular patterns so if we're going to have social structures whose characteristic is Crystal social structures that are a crystallization of the intentions of baha'u'llah what that implies to me are social institutions which have through the extreme pressure and we all know what the extreme pressures are right social institutions which have through extreme pressure had the impurity of self selfish motivations squeezed out of them so this is what we're going to look at today I thought there was an oh here's this I thought there was another page here there it is no wrong one okay this is what we're going to look at today we're going to look at this in in three examples the we're going to look at political institutions looking at the history the history of political institutions in Uganda and think about their future we're going to look at Economic Institutions looking at the history of capitalism in Europe and think about its future and we're going to look at intellectuals this intellectual structures and how the intellectual structures of of the western academic tradition affect us let's start with Uganda I really need this other piece of paper oh here it is no sorry guys let's start with Uganda and let's imagine a person in a bus Park the in Uganda buses come into the Central Area everybody goes into the same all the buses come into one place and then you leave that place and and you go up into the city so we've got this person and who's going to work in in the the central the center of Kampala his his clothes are beautifully well ironed his shoes are polished he's walking up from the bus Park and he's thinking about the capacity of human beings to create well-being in the world this this person in Uganda has got in this in the social institutions that he lives inside of certain kinds of institutional structure that are going to make that easy and other kinds of institutional structure that are going to impede his efforts to do that Uganda has a particularly interesting kind of local government which consists of nine member local councils elected in every village and section of a town in non-party elections one wonders one might want to ask the other origin of this idea every person in in the local the local Council unit is is asked to participate in consultations regular consultations of that unit and in these consultations Community disputes are settled there's discussion of community local development projects and some kind of administrative stuff happens the LC system attracted lots of attention when it was established 15 years ago After the Revolution and people put a lot of enthusiasm isn't it at the at the present time people's attention is focused more focused on other levels of the government but um I just have to say it's a really interesting system right but in Uganda people are worried really worried about government at other levels the 15-year when this 15-year Civil War ended about 15 years ago people in Uganda really aspired to create a society a government without corruption and in the present they feel that they haven't got it they feel although the government of Uganda is certainly less corrupt than the governments perhaps of certainly than the governments of neighboring states ugandans talk a lot about it the questions is their eating and eating means people in power taking resources of the state for themselves uh people in Uganda are also really concerned about sectarianism there are very sharp political divisions and there have been since the 19th century between Gonda Catholics and Gonda Protestants talk about imitation between Northerners where there's there's much less economic development in Northern Uganda and Southerners where most of the economic development is basically every issue of government of the state gets processed through the lens of what's this going to do to the the sectarian divides in the society who's going to benefit who's not going to benefit [Music] a pretty outstanding Ugandan politician has observed uh this is when he's speaking uh what I observe is that ethnicity is being used to provide platforms from which the amenities of modernity can be competed for it plays a perverse role she said in political development and then she said we politicians are sometimes promoting it for narrow self-interest people don't trust their government in Uganda they don't think that the government is acting in everyone's self in everyone in everyone's interests they think that government is making decisions with it with a calculation of political advantage to the people who are in power which is actually something that's a characterization of government in a lot of places right okay the burning burning question in Uganda politics at the present is should we have a multi-party system because what Uganda has and it's also interesting to ask where this came from what Uganda has is no party democracy where political parties are allowed to exist but the political parties can't place candidates to stand for election anybody who stands where they would be running in the United States but they're standing in Uganda and anyone who stands for an election has to stand as an individual there's this huge polarizing debate about whether this is conducive to Justice and all of the donors all of the donors want Uganda to have political parties why I asked a usaid official about this why because we have political parties and they say that you know if you wouldn't political parties be a break on corruption and wouldn't political parties prevent power from being concentrated at the center now the nrm the government of Uganda says no political parties could just be a machine for more corruption and they could polarize people to focus on the interests of some and not the interests of all this is this question it just weighs in ways on the populace now if we look at the history of Uganda um of Uganda and I'm going to be talking partly about the buganda kingdom which is in southern Uganda which is what I have studied what we see is over say 500 years some aspects of government of the practice of power the practice of government which people were actually doing a lot better job of it a while ago than we're doing now I think if we look in the Baha'i Revolution or just in the Baha'i practice and also like if we look at the statements of the house of justice about the nature of the relationship of of leaders and and people in the nation there are some things that emerge as elements of good government among many others I think one of them would be the love and respect of rulers and people for each other the desire of rulers to be of service to their people and the desire of people to be of service to their Nations good government also involves participating participation of every adult in society and clearly this includes voting voting is an important part of this good government also involves consultation seeking to achieve consensus now I want we're going to look at three moments in the history of Uganda basically when things got worse when selfish motivation got embodied in the structures of the state one of these happened in the 18th century when a series of gone to Kings who had been ruling in a in a very interesting kind of res understanding of reciprocal Mutual obligation with the people of the country in the 18th century a series of Kings began to at the end of sort of skirmishes little Wars of interaction with their neighbors these Kings began to bring back captive people and they tried to establish little many provinces of people who were not free who were who were solely the clients of the king this is great for the king because he was going to benefit entirely from the labor of these people but it utterly destabilized the society it led to about 150 years of war and the consequence of it was that the relationship of Kings to people in the country was never the same again Kings became absolute and they hadn't been absolute before here's another example buganda lost the element that government officials the element of good government the government officials have to be accountable to the people whom they are serving during the colonial period and this happened because part of the premise of Imperial rule was colonies are supposed to pay for themselves which means there had to be taxation there had to be there there had to be taxation to pay the salaries of colonial officers there had to be forced labor to build the houses and bring the firewood and the water and cook and all of the stuff that Colonial officers needed this work especially the forced labor and people people in Uganda did two to four to sometimes six months of forced labor in the years before 1920. and the consequence of this was this the social fabric like the cloth of the social fabric was eroded into it eroded away partly because if people are doing that much work which isn't the work to take care of their own lives they can't take care of their own lives some people excuse themselves found ways to get out of it other people didn't and division social class divisions emerged in a society that had never been there before but the thing that I was what intended to tell you about this was not the emergence of social class but the transformation of the role of government officials because in Uganda the purpose the achieve had had the same kind of relationship of mutual obligation with his followers but during the colonial period a chief had to get out the forced labor he had to make his people pay taxes if he didn't he lost his chief ship so governance the role of a chief changed from you're a chief if you take care of people and attract a lot of people to you to you're a chief if you get the most work out of the people under you The Institute nature of the institution of government changed you know it it's it's changed from then up to now the origin of that wasn't a surface assertion of selfish thought it was the premise that of course Colonial officers need to live comfortable somewhat ostentatious Lifestyles whatever the cost to the people they're ruling this concern among ugandans now that government officials are corrupt is the same thing brought into the present it's the premise that people who are rulers the government officials of the present the present need to live comfortable somewhat ostentatious Lifestyles whatever the cost to the people who are ruled pre-colonial Chiefs showed their power through redistribution through Feasts Colonial officers and post-colonial rulers show their power by having fabulous wealth in comparison with the people who they rule it's an assertion of self it's also blind imitation that benefits some at the expense of others Uganda lost its practice of consultation which had been the characteristic of the government and in some of the documents that I use about the late 19th century there are these British officers trying to interact with Ganda Chiefs and universally they complain about how long the Gonda can consult like just it's just such a burden for them to have to be a part of this consultation and they say why can't the big the guy on top just tell people what to do they feel like British just can't stand the consultation and of course what the British brought was a West uh Westminster parliamentary democracy and the consequence of that was one small faction of chiefs managed to completely dominate the parliament for the next 40 years now in the 1920s sort of 20 years into this process of of Westminster Style parliamentary rule which is not you know it's not that there's not exchange but there's exchange where somebody always wins and the Gonda found that a really problematic notion in government that that you would resolve Conflict by having winners this is a statement that a group have gone to cheap but a group of ghanda chiefs brought a case against the government and their case was this is not good government the way we did it was better this is part of their case chiefs were doing this new British kind of thing they upset everything and the results of that mistake caused the present ill feeling which exists among our people as a whole shattering also our country from its former foundation and destroying all our good customs of helping and loving each other thus putting us under a form of government which we can't understand now I don't want to say that gone to government in the past was utopian and that's why I started with the example of Ganda King's um taking non-free pill and causing a 150 year Civil War but the point is the kind of government that we want to have in the world we don't have anywhere and it's a really big waste of Humanity's time and effort to imagine that everybody in the world has to follow the mistakes and go through the same learning path of some particular people in Europe so our Ugandan person headed for work well-dressed well-ironed clothes can't use his full human capacity to be a responsible engaged citizen because of a long Heritage of selfish thought and blind imitation the way people remember Chief ship kingship as domineering is a residue of selfish thought political corruption is self-aggrandizing and imitating a colonial model political divisions between Catholics and Protestants in Uganda is blind imitation the representation the replacement of consultation with elections and only elections is not really a step forward [Music] um the pressure on Uganda to abandon its innovative no party system for European or U.S style Party politics is a really arrogant attempt to get Uganda to imitate this is the hardened clay out of which this generation is molded and it's very very hard what would dissolve this hardened clay Abdul Baha urges people in power to have pure motives and selfless intentions think about the consequences for Uganda of this kind of thought the hardened clay would dissolve if uganda's public figures could act on behalf of all the people not only on behalf of the people whose votes they expect to get the hardened clay would dissolve if public figures could be content with modest remuneration and not seek to benefit from their positions if ugandans and donors could see their own well-being in the well-being of the whole and focus resources on the least developed regions of the country that would remove the source of sectarian tension Uganda like other African States is imprisoned in social structures which are encrustations of selfishness some of the oppressive structures come from the period of European imperialism but others are older a consequence of the actions of Africans but even people who live inside these structures can create Alternatives and act on them crystallizing the power that baha'u'llah has released into the world okay we're this far on our hike we can take a little rest I want to point out to you in the distance sort of the social theory mountains because this is a social theory talk there's Mount Talcott Parsons there's Mount Antonio gromshi we're about to get to the history of capitalism so Mount Max vapor is very close by but we don't have time to look at them if you want to look at that look at the footnotes of the paper okay so now we're in North America let's imagine a person driving to work she's on her way to work her clothes are not actually ironed but she took them out of the dryer at just a right moment so they're not wrinkled and they look fine not iron but fine this person on the way to work is thinking about nobility and dignity and the capacity of human beings to create well-being in the world she can't see the way that her productive capacity is limited and confined by layer over layer of selfish thought it seems inevitable and natural to her that her work is all about making a profit for her Company the company that she works for and that her enthusiasm and energy are reserved for her home her Recreation and her social life it doesn't seem unjust or perverse to her that she slots she slots her efforts to be of service to humanity and to grow as a spiritual being into her spare time after work it's not a problem to her that she and her immediate family are entirely reliant on each other for their emotional social and physical needs she doesn't feel oppressed by the constant stream of messages that tell her what to buy and when and why in fact as she's driving to work meditating on nobility she passes the mall and then she begins to think of the things that she has to go and buy this weekend because she knows they're going to be on sale right now she may not know it but she's a victim of the creation of capitalism in order to understand the oppressive dimensions of a capitalist economy it's essential to keep in mind the distinction which is made in the Baha'i Revelation between new technology which emerged in the 19th century and what Humanity has done with those technological capacities baha'u'llah made it very clear that the new capacities of humanity were the consequence of his Revelation and in the sentence I'm going to read you the his knowledge is a capital H his and a capital K knowledge okay this is baha'u'llah such material means as are now manifest have been achieved by virtue of his knowledge technology has made distance meaningless and Technology could make want meaningless by which I mean to say we have the technological capacity to produce the goods to provide for the material needs of all of humanity this capacity exists what we're doing with it is the problem condemns how those capacities have been used saying that the excessive civilization that saying that excessive civilization would be a source of evil and that his faith would be necessary to purge to purge the deeply rooted and overwhelming Corruptions of the civilization of the West which hath agitated and alarmeth the peoples of the world now the people in that place may not feel very agitated we may not feel alarmed we may feel that that state of excessive civilization where it becomes a bad thing hasn't been reached yet and what we've got is okay but some future amount of it would be a bad thing so it's helpful to us to have shogi offendes diagnosis of the condition of the world and he tells us about the evil consequence of the capitalist system that's shogi offending the evil consequence of the capitalist system and this is what it is the crass materialism which lays excessive and ever increasing emphasis on material well-being forgetful of those things of the spirit which are the only stable and sure foundation for society now there's two parts of this and I want us to pay attention to both parts of it we're sort of more familiar with materialism it's bad it's an excessive an excessive increasing emphasis on material well-being but look let's look at the causality here what does that cause it causes forgetfulness of those things of the spirit Spirit which are the only stable Foundation of society so if we want to understand the consequences the evil consequences of capitalism what we have to look at is what we've forgotten the things of the spirit which are actually the foundation of society and a couple Pages later shogi Fendi this is from The Citadel of Faith he gives a description of the characteristics of people engulfed in materialism spiritual faculties are paralyzed by apathy and lethargy Outlook is darkened by animosities and prejudices time is filled by pleasures and dissipations minds are distracted by fears and anxieties and souls are enshrouded souls are enshrouded by attachment to worldly things I want us to think about how this perverse diminished condition for Humanity came into being I want us to pay attention to human agency to the consequences of human actions in the creation of this condition [Music] the structures of industrial capitalism which we take for granted which appear to be natural just like the boundaries of nation states are the creation of people who like despots and conquerors sought to attain dominion over mankind now we're going to do this it's going to not it's going to be painless it's going to be quick the history of capitalism in three moments okay I promise the first one maybe a painless quick history of capitalism needs some water a transformation in how people use natural resources in northern Europe is a crucial part of the beginning of capitalism patterns of land use that involved many different people using the same land in complex ways changed to a pattern of land use in which one person was the sole owner Soul controller and basically the sole user of that land for example The Duchess of Sutherland in about 1815 claimed ownership of eight hundred thousand acres of land she evicted fifteen thousand people by burning their homes and Villages she needed the police to help her do it and she replaced them with a hundred and thirty one thousand sheep this was great for the Duchess of Sutherland she and a whole lot of other people who engaged in closure got very very very much richer from doing it and the people who lost their access to productive resources they lost their and land they lost their animals they lost their capacity to to create material well-being for themselves got very very very much poorer we have to understand enclosure as an assertion of self-interest it what else was that if it wasn't an assertion of self-interest it's structural consequences have been profound these regions never regained their capacity to create prosperity for large numbers of people and it could be argued that the extremes of wealth and poverty that enclosure created have never gone away they've endured in various manifestations up to the present but that's not all that happened the creation the the further establishment of extremes of wealth and poverty and the complete rewriting of of human interaction human use of the environment what also happened is that practices of community solidarity disappeared when most people lost all of their resources except for their own labor and wealth became more concentrated relationships between people which had in the past had social and economic Dimensions came to be solely economic this is called commodification and what it means is that the that the aspects of Life which have many kinds of value begin to have only a monetary value for example groups of people worked in turn on each other's lands and they also had common lands which they worked that land together now this labor produced crops you know there's were material things that people got out of this Cooperative work but that Cooperative work also produced community what happened with the the transformation of ownership and that the beginning of capitalism is we lost the way that people work in community the produced Community through Labor and we've never gotten it back that was part one two the way we industrialized and the way cities grew in order to accommodate workers intensified the destruction of social networks and the transition to an insistently individualistic organization of society we could have done it differently we in the mid 19th century we had these new tools these new engines these new industrial capacities could have created industrial production with a sharing of profits between workers and owners so that the new kind of production wove a more solid social fabric instead of ripping it apart we could have created working conditions for the new workers that allowed them to maintain relationships of mutual support and forms of community solidarity instead of grinding Cooperative social practices into nothing the technology would have worked just as well that way but that's not what we did we created forms of industrial production in which all the profits went to owners and workers were barely able to stay alive as they wereed this was an assertion of self-interest subsequent Generations have imitated it in its Essentials even though we've ameliorated some of its excesses what are the consequences rigid extremes of wealth and poverty our acceptance of the idea that work doesn't have to be meaningful and our love affair with individualism there's a strong intellectual current in our culture that says the assertion of individual Choice over Community obligation is the best thing that ever happened to humanity I'm serious an economic system which includes a premise of social obligation is called what it's called A Primitive economy oh no it can't be 15 minutes okay an economic system which Inc which is in which only individual choice is is that in theory the determinive economic action is a modern economic system and I could talk about choice and and how we use choice in this but I won't just to say there are lots of things we don't have a choice about in the United States we can't choose to have a Health Care system in which Health Care is a right of citizenship which is what Abdul Baha implies it would be we can't choose to live in communities where everyone takes care of everyone else because that takes a real Community with active productive relationships which we don't have anymore the point is our commitment to a deluded destructive pernicious individualism has a history and that history is of self-interest of some people seeking dominion over others I also have a section here about the history of consumerism the the issue this is the third point that what do we do with all of this productive capacity if everybody has clothing how is the clothing Factory going to still be productive and the solution that we arrived at was to convince people that they need to own more everything about about our productive system insists that greater consumption drives an economy and that that's a good thing but it's not it's pernicious and destructive it enshrouds our dead and souls the organization of the laws structures and habits of our society it's information it's forms of information its built environment all perpetuate this delusion this fabrication that we are bundles of desires that have to be met through consumption this is a form of self-interest and imitation it benefits a few it's a hardened hardened clay out of which this perverse generation is molded so the solution to this which I'm trying to to cut down and I it's very hard for me because I love I love this idea is I'll try to say it in a sentence we have in the Baha'i writings this notion Abdul Baha says the essence of economic Quest conditions are Divine in nature and associated with the world of the heart and spirit so we can all say like the spiritual solution to the economic problem really fast right but what does it mean what it means is that all economic relationships are social relationships and although we live in a society that says you can have economic productivity that has negative social consequences and it's still a good thing that's wrong from a Baha'i understanding there is no economic an action is not productive if it doesn't produce positive social relations so economic activity always has social consequences and productive economic activity is only economic activity that has productive social consequences and that is why Abdul Baha looked at Western civilization and said well it's beautiful but it's a corpse because it doesn't have doesn't have positive um doesn't produce the social concert you can't have good production with negative social consequences um and what we need to do then is to manifest love in all of our economic activity this is what Abdul Baha says he says manifest true economics to the people show what love is what kindness is what true Severance is and generosity we manifest true economics by making sure that any economic interaction has positive consequences for every party involved in it now people sometimes portray a Baha'i economy as the one that we've got with people being more generous but I think the implications of this are far more profound and let's just just look through it a little bit a deliberate systematic insistence on interactions characterized by love Severance and generosity would change the way human beings think about ourselves because attention to love in our productive lives would make us aware that happiness does not come from owning things or satisfying our desires it would change the way the structure of wealth inside the nation inside cities and around the world a deliberate and systematic insistence on economic interactions characterized by love Severance and generosity would restructure the geographical organization of economic activity because productive units that build positive social relationships would probably happen more fundamentally inside of regions rather than on a global scale it would require a change in the structure of ownership because you couldn't be a stockholder if you didn't know whether the people whose work you were benefiting from were being treated well it would change in the forms of industrial production because the goal would have to include drawing out the intelligence and capacity capacity of workers instead of seeking to replace workers with machines we would have to redefine the measures of economic success because people seeking to show love Severance and generosity might decide that efficiency is an empty goal striving to show love Genera generosity and Severance in economic activity would probably lead us to producing less of higher quality now people who's going to do this in whom did baha'u'llah bestow this capacity who has a new life breathed into every into their human frames this transition from institutions which are violently destructive into institutions which are which are empowering and healing is not going to happen because we believe in the Oneness of humanity it's going to happen because of the deliberate actions that we take to implement baha'u'llah's intentions and he didn't say do that later in fact every time we pay we're systematically dismantling materialism and I think I think it's inherent in the house of justice statements about this plan that we move from making sure that the faith is in a region to interacting with the institutional structures in that region Justice in this in this day bewailing its plight and Equity groaneth beneath the Yoke of Oppression wherefore fear ye o my beloved ones who is it that can dismay you a touch of moisture suffice us to dissolve the hardened clay out of which this perverse generation is molted okay intellectual structures in the West 300 years of them what have we got seven minutes five oh no problem okay the essence of our oppression in the in the house of ideas that we inhabit is that we inhabit a house of ideas that is functionally atheist it's partly functionally atheist because of the Enlightenment which was dark and said human beings are the center of everything God's on the side but even more than that or in addition to that we live in a world of functional atheism because religion itself is materialistic and to see that look at Abdul baha's statements about the materialism the tragic materialism of a practice of religion which happens in churches and temples he says that's not religion what would be religion would be to recognize and utilize the power of God to work through human beings to illuminate and transform every aspect of reality right that we do not understand this that we do not think about religion as the power of God to work through human beings to create Justice is the essence of Oppression says this it's in the katabi yugan and I would like to sort of work through that whole quotation but I don't think we have time just a little bit he says although the fingers of divine power have unlocked the portals of the knowledge of God the leaders of people who busy themselves with selfish calculation maintain that the doors of knowledge is closed are closed now we can think of that and think of the divines of Iran telling people that baha'u'llah was not a messenger of God or we can think of it and think of political leaders in the present telling their people that their party or their actions or voting for them is the the one way that things are going to get better they're engaged in selfish selfish calculation and they're they're for behold us as their voracious beasts preying on the carrion of The Souls of men or what about leaders of thought who say the world of the future is the same as the world of the past we all we've got what we've got and that's it it's selfish calculation it's voracious Beast preying on the carrying of The Souls of men what about advertisers who tell people that they are their bodies or they are their possessions they're acting in self-interest they're voracious beasts preying on the carrying of The Souls of men asks what oppression is more Grievous than this than that a soul seeking the truth and wishing to attain unto the knowledge of God should know not where to go for it and from whom to seek it we are oppressed because we do not know reality and doesn't this sound like us this is like our society for the helpless masses know nothing of the world and while there is no doubt that they seek and long for their own happiness yet ignorance like a heavy Veil shuts them away from it it is us and what are we going to do about it the thing about a structure of thought it's like at the house of ideas is that when you live in your house you know where things are you know so you can walk through your house and you can turn on the lights in the dark because you know exactly where the light switch is and a house of ideas is like that you don't have to look at where the walls are because you know and the problem in the present is the baha'u'llah has moved the walls of the house but we still think we know where the light switch is and it takes a lot of courage to move out past where we thought the wall was takes a lot of Courage because people may not understand us and we may try to speak inside of their understanding it also takes a lot of Courage because you know like me I might get fired if I ever said to people in my profession that I thought that God was acting in the world so the issue is how are we going to free ourselves and and our own understanding of the relation from these oppressive structures of functional atheism I wanted before I talk about how we free ourselves we may not get to freeing ourselves but let's just look I just want to show you how we do this this is a diagnostic tool look at where how we how we speak about the Revelation and whether we ourselves leave out human agency because if we leave out human agency we're complying with a functional atheism that says here's the world of man and there's the world of God uh what if we say we believe in the equality of this Texas great but where's the where's the human agency the the power that God has instilled into human beings what about we believe in the equality of the Sexes and we're confident that our love of God and our devotion to Justice will enable us to overcome oppressive habits of thought in action and allow us to create new patterns new Equitable patterns for our personal lives and the life of society or here's the other way to do this take the one-liners of baha'u'llah you know the great top five one sentence quotations of baha'u'llah and look at the sentence before or the sentence after the Earth is but one country and Mankind it's citizens but what did he say in the sentence before that in the sentence before that he says it's the obligation of human beings to be responsible for their brothers one more ye are the fruits of One Tree and the leaves of one branch but what did he say in the sentence before that he said we cherish the hope that the light of Justice May shine upon the world and sanctify it from tyranny now it's our responsibility that we know one very well and the other is unfamiliar to us I want to close I want to close with baha'u'llah's it's like foremost clearest statement to us about Justice and as I read it to you I want to think I want us to think about what it says to us about imitation about our obligations uh and about the gift that behold gives us if we pursue it o son of Spirit the best beloved of all things in my sight is justice turn not away there from if thou desirest me and neglect it not that I may confide in thee by its Aid Thou shalt see with thine own eyes and not Through The Eyes of others and shalt know of thine own knowledge and not through the knowledge of Thy Neighbor Ponder this in thy heart how it behooveth thee to be verily Justice is my gift to thee and the sign of my loving kindness said it then before thine eyes thank you	Association for Bahá’í

dZPOuazSZvw	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZPOuazSZvw	President Reagan's Remarks to Reagan Presidential Library Foundation on April 3, 1987	political philosophy in perspective because the fact is that this is a change town it's a changed country and a change world all for the better and the purpose of this foundation really is to preserve that not only in the interest of pure preservation but in the interest of future dialogue among historians and that to me is most laudable I must say it appeals to my Machiavellian sense of humor to know that this facility is going to be situated in the bowels of Stanford University which isn't really a bastion of conservative freedom but in any case that is progressing well and it'll be a magnificent site in that truly magnificent area we did seen demonstrator in the last several hours of what Ronald Reagan is all about there's some in the press who would say that yesterday he suffered a defeat to now introduce to you the president United States [Applause] well Paul thank you very much we have been friends for a long time and go back to when we shared a common border there is with us as governors and either sides of that border I have to apologize for being a little late coming in here today and unable to greet each one of you but we're going to do that later but I think you will forgive me for being late because I was with Elizabeth Dole the Secretary of Transportation and she was handing me the check for 1 billion five hundred and seventy five thousand five hundred and seventy five million dollars for our sale to the public of the railroad Conrail so that will all be applied to the deficit well senator black salt and chairman Glen Campbell and all of you before I go on telling you how grateful I am Paul interrupted me in a story stopped me just short of when I was going to finish I got to finish the story takes place in this room just the other night we were entertaining at a state dinner here the Prime Minister of France Prime Minister Chirac and Madam Chirac and I told her the story over there in our table in front of a fireplace that when their president president meet around and mrs. meet around were here you know you but always the formula is the same you're in the East Room down at the end of the hall you have a receiving line everyone leaves there and comes down and takes their place around the tables here in this room and then we come down finally when everyone is in place and Nancy brings the president over to her table here and I take madam through the tables over to that table over there and when it was the meter on Stern and we had come to the parting of the ways right here there she stood calmly and dignified and the butler ahead was motioning to her to come on through the tables and I was behind her and I leaned out and said no weed but through there and she said something to me in French which I didn't understand and again I did then he was motioning and just then the interpreter caught up with us she was telling me I was standing on her gown I knew that I had an appreciative audience for that when I told it to Madame Chirac I hope that each one of you knows how much I personally appreciate you being here and appreciate the contribution that you are all making a primary goal of our administration has been in encouraging people to get directly involved in charitable activities and community building projects and certainly that's what this is all about in years to come historians will undoubtedly focus on the economic turnaround of the 1980s the resurgence of American leadership and the rebuilding of our military strength yet I would hope they don't miss the success we've had in our private sector initiatives program in mobilizing the humane and loving side of the American character the amount of contributions to worthy causes is up 61 percent over these last five years in a time of low inflation that figure represents something to be proud of and incidentally speaking of the share acts they have participated in something that just came about recently and that is Gerren urging in Paris was held a meeting of representatives from all of our trading partners there in Europe for them to learn how they too can have private initiative and have the thing that we have in this country of the private sector doing so many things that heretofore they have always left the government and evidently it is succeeding very well but being individuals of means and I'm certain you've been approached for a number of worthwhile endeavors of course asking for help doesn't suggest you always get it hey you probably all know this story about the clergyman who was involved in a charitable campaign in his community and he called on someone who had never given before and remarked about this and suggested he should be willing to do that and the fella said well you've heard about that but he says have you heard about my destitute brother a drunkard with five children who has never been able to support them and has been unable to help his his wife are you aware that my father has been in a convalescent hospital for years due to an injury he received as a young workman leaving my mother to this day with no means of support and he went on with a couple of more examples like that and the preacher kind of a bap said what I know I I I hadn't known that well he said I don't give anything to them why should I get something to you well there are someone I'd say very few like that but we can be proud that for the most part we live among people with a magnificent sense of generosity it's an aspect of our national personality noted as early as the 1830s when alexis de tocqueville a Frenchman toured our young country he came here and he went back and wrote a book about democracy in America Europe was very curious at that time as how we could have progressed so far I'm talking about about a hundred and thirty years ago and he told that how someone here would see a problem and they didn't call him the government that crossed the street and speak to a friend and pretty soon a committee would be formed and the next thing you know the problem would be solved and in his book he says and you won't believe this but bureaucracy would never have any part play any part in what they were doing well you know this strong current among our fellow citizens from every walk of life one person this brings to mind is Andrew Carnegie came to this land young and poor but managed to amass a great fortune building our industrial might as he did so Carnegie deeply believed in the right to make a profit and accumulate wealth but he also preached that a heavy responsibility went with that right surplus wealth he wrote is a sacred trust which is possessor is bound to administer in his lifetime for the good of the community well this emigrant from Scotland took advantage of the freedom and doubtless opportunity he found in the United States and did become rich and then he really enriched our country we all know through his zeal for philanthropy and his love of peace and we all know about his contributions among other things he built free public libraries in cities and towns across the land a gift that I've always thought reflected something special about this truly great American not that I knew him personally my joy seriously though we have been able to rely on the largesse of mr. Carnegie but we've benefited from a group of special Americans men and women corporations and foundations with an appreciation for history and a desire to pass on a gift of knowledge and understanding we want future Americans to learn from our estate mistakes and build on our successes President John Adams challenged us to tenderly and kindly cherish the means of knowledge let us dare he wrote to read think speak and write well we Americans consider our willingness to look truth squarely in the eye as one of our nation's greatest assets and not every country has this attitude there's a joke among the dissidents in the Soviet Union about how frequently information concerning their history seems to change what is the Soviet historian they asked and the answer someone who can accurately predict the past well with your support we're passing on to our children a treasure of information it'll be housed in a library with state-of-the-art audio-visual technology and computer craft in the end what we're building together will be a preeminent resource for scholarly research it'll be a lasting gift because there's another American president OneNote once noted ideas are the only thing in this universe that are immortal James Garfield said that and I didn't know him either so today I'd like to thank each of you from my heart for the honor that you do me and for the inheritance you're helping us to leave for those who will follow let us hope when this administration is over and decades from now young scholars are poring over the documents of our time they'll think highly of us and know that we had them in mind I want to thank you all again in the bottom of my heart and god bless all of you and now because I didn't get to say hello and any but a hurried way to a few of you I'm gonna go out through this door through the Red Room down to the Blue Room and I'm gonna be standing there in front of the fireplace waiting for you to come by so that I can say a hello and a thank you to each one of you again god bless you [Applause]	Reagan Library	UCMP5_7v48WfDKfoirLCcNgQ	2018-10-23	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	1,722	9,304

j4FqRDmuSWg	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4FqRDmuSWg	Book of Life \| Upton Sinclair \| *Non-fiction, Philosophy, Psychology, Religion, Self-Help \| 1/11	introduction to the book of life this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org The Book of Life by Upton Sinclair introductory the writer of this book has been in this world some 42 years this may not seem long to some but it is long enough to have made many painful mistakes and to have learned much from them looking about him he sees others making the same mistakes suffering for lack of that same knowledge which he has so painfully acquired this being the case it seems a friendly act to offer his knowledge - the blunders and pain there come - the writer literally thousands of letters every year asking him questions some of them of the strangest a man is dying of cancer and do I think it can be cured by a fast a man is unable to make his wife happy and can I tell him what is the matter with women a man has invested his savings in mining stock and can I tell him what to do about it a man works in a sweat shop and has only a little time for self improvement and will I tell him what books he ought to read many such questions every day make one aware of a vast mass of people earnest hungry for happiness and groping as if in a fog the things they most need to know they are not taught in the schools nor in the newspapers they read nor in the church they attend of these agencies the first is not entirely competent the second is not entirely honest and the third is not entirely up-to-date nor is there anywhere a book in which the effort has been made to give every day human beings the everyday information they need for successful live of their lives for the present book the following claims may be made first it is a modern book it's writer watches hour-by-hour the new achievements of the human mind he reaches out for information about them he seeks to adjust his own thoughts to them and to test them in his own living second it is or tries hard to be a wise book it's writer is not among those two ardent young radicals who leap to the conclusion that because many old things are stupid and tiresome therefore everything that is old is to be spurned with contempt and everything that proclaims itself new is to be taken at its own valuation third it is an honest book it's writer will not pretend to know what he only guesses and where it is necessary to guess he will say so frankly finally it is a kind book it is not written for its authors glory nor for his enrichment but to tell you things that may be useful to you in the brief span of your life it will attempt to tell you how to live how to find health and happiness and success how to work and how to play how to eat and how to sleep how to love and to marry and to care for your children how to deal with your fellow men in business and politics and social life how to act and how to think what religion to believe what are to enjoy what books to read a large order as the boys phrase it there are several ways for such a book to begin it might begin with the child because we all begin that way it might begin with love because that precedes the child it might begin with the care of the body explaining that sound physical health is the basis of all right living and even of right thinking it might begin as most philosophies do by defining life discussing its origin and mental nature the trouble with this last plan is that there are a lot of people who have their ideas on life made up in tabloid form they have creeds and catechisms which they know by heart and if you suggest to them anything different they give you a startled look and get out of your way and then there is another and in our modern world a still larger class who say oh shucks I don't go in for religion and that kind of thing you offer them something that looks like a sermon and they turned to the baseball page who will read this book of life there will be among others the great American tired businessman he wrestles with problems and Cara's all day and when he sits down to read in the evening he says make it short and snappy there is the wife of the tired businessman the American perfect lady she does most of the reading for the family but she has never got down to anything fundamental in her life and mostly she likes to read about exciting love affairs which she distinguishes from the unexcited kind she knows by the word romance then there is the still more tired American working man who has been speeded up all day under the bonus system or the piecework system and is apt to fall asleep in his chair before he finishes supper then there is the working man's wife who has slaved all day in the kitchen and has a chance for a few minutes intimacy with her husband before he falls asleep she would like to have something tell her what to do for croup but she is not sure that she has time to discuss the question whether life is worth living yet I wonder is there a single one among all these tired people or even among the cynical people who has not had some moment of awe when the thought came stabbing into his mind like a knife what a strange thing this life is what am i anyhow where do I come from and what is going to become of me what do I mean what am I here for I have sat chatting with three hobos by a railroad track cooking themselves a mulligan in an old can and heard one of them say my god it's a queer thing ain't it mate i sat on the deck of a ship looking out over the midnight ocean and talking with a sailor and heard him use almost the identical words it is not only in the classroom and the schools that the minds of men are grappling with the fundamental problems in fact it was not from the schools that the new religions and the great moral impulses of humanity took their origin it was from lowly shepherds sitting on the hillsides and from fishermen casting their nets and from carpenters and tailors and shoemakers at their benches stop and think a bit and you will realize it does make a difference what you believe about life how it comes to be where it is going and what is your place in it is there a heaven with a God who watches you day and night and knows every thought you think and will some day take you to an eternal bliss if you obey his laws if you really believe that you will try to find out about his laws and you will be comparatively little concerned about the success or failure of your business perhaps on the other hand you have knocked about in the world and have lost your faith you have been cheated and Exploited and have set out to get yours as the phrase is to feather your own nest but some gust of passion seizes you and you waste your substance you wreck your life then you wonder who set that trap and baited it amaya creature of blind instincts jealousies and greed and hates beyond my own control entirely am i a poor feeble insect blown about in a storm and smashed or do I make this storm and can I in any part control it no matter how busy you may be no matter how tired you may be it will pay you to get such things straight to know a little of what the wise men of the past have thought about them and more especially what science with its new tools of knowledge may have discovered the writer of this book spent nine years of his life in colleges and universities also he was brought up in a church so he knows the Orthodox teachings he can say that he has given to the recognized wise men of all the world every opportunity to tell him what they know then being dissatisfied he went to the unrecognized teachers the enthusiasts and the cranks of a hundred schools finally he thought for himself he was even willing to try experiments upon himself as a result he has not found what he claims is ultimate or final truth but he has what he might describe as a rough working draft a practical outline good for everyday purposes he is going to have confidence enough in you the reader to give you the hardest part first that is to begin with the great fundamental questions what is life and how does it come to be what does it mean and what have we to do with it are we its masters or its slaves what does it owe us and what do we owe to it why is it so hard and do we have to stand its hardness and can we really know about all these matters or will we be only guessing can we trust ourselves to think about them or shall we be safer if we believe what we are told shall we be punished if we think wrong and how should we be punished shall we be rewarded if we think right and will the pay be worth the trouble such questions as these I am going to try to answer in the simplest language possible I would like to avoid long words altogether if I could but some of these long words mean certain definite things and there are no other words to serve the purpose you do not refuse to engage in the automobile business because the carburetor and the differential are words of four syllables neither should you refuse to get yourself straight with the universe because it is too much trouble to go to the dictionary and learn that the word phenomenon means something else than a little boy who can play the piano or do long division in his head end of introductory part 1 the book of the mind chapters 1 & 2 of the book of life by Upton Sinclair this LibriVox recording is in the public domain chapter 1 the nature of life attempt to show what we know about life to set the bounds of real truth as distinguished from phrases and self-deception if I could I would begin this book by telling you what life is but unfortunately I do not know what life is the only consolation I can find is in the fact that nobody else knows either we ask the churches and they tell us that male and female created he them and put them in the Garden of Eden and they would have been happy had not Satan tempted them but then you ask who made Satan and the explanation grows vague you ask if God made Satan and knew what Satan was going to do is it not the same as if God did it himself so this explanation of the origin of evil gets you no further than the Hindu picture of the world resting on the back of a tortoise and the tortoise on the head of a snake and nothing said as to what the snake rests on let us go to the scientist I know a certain physiologist perhaps the greatest in the world and his eager face rises before me and I hear his quick impetuous voice declaring that he knows what life is he has told it in several big volumes and all I have to do is to read them life is a tropism caused by the presence of certain combinations of chemicals my friend knows this because he has produced the thing in his test tubes he is an exponent of a way of thought called monism which finds the ultimate source of being in forms of energy manifesting themselves as matter he shows how all living things arise from that and sink back into it but question this scientist more closely what is this matter that you are so sure of how do you know it obviously through sensations you never know matter itself you only know its effects upon you and you assume that the matter must be there to cause the sensation in other words matter which seems so real turns out to be merely a permanent possibility of sensation and suppose there were to be sensations caused for example by a sport of demon who liked to make fun of eminent physiologists then there might be the appearance of matter and nothing else in other words there might be mind and various states of mind so we discover that the materialist in the philosophic sense is making just as large and active phase is pronouncing just as bold a Dogma as any priest of any religion this is an old-time topic of disputation before mother Eddie there was Bishop Berkeley and before Berkeley there was Plato and they and the materialists disputed until their hearers cried in despair what is mind no matter what is matter never mind but a century or two ago in a town of Prussia there lived a little dried up professor of philosophy who sat himself down in his room and fixed his eyes on a church steeple outside the window and for years on end devoted himself to examining the tools of thought with which the human mind is provided and deciding just what work and how much of it they are fitted to do so came the proof that our minds are incapable of reaching to or dealing with any ultimate reality whatever but can comprehend only phenomena that is to say appearances and their relations one to another the Kooning's bear professor proved this once for all time setting forth four propositions about ultimate reality and proving them by exact and irrefutable logic and then proving by equal exact and irrefutable logic their precise opposites and contraries anybody who has read and comprehended the four antinomies of Immanuel Kant knows that metaphysics is as dead a subject as astrology and that all the complicated theories which the philosophers from Heraclitus to Arthur Balfour have spun like spiders out of their inner consciousness have no more relation to reality than the intricacies of the game of chess the writer is sorry to make this statement because he spent a lot of time reading these philosophers and acquainting himself with their subtle theories he learned a whole language of long words and even the special meanings which each philosopher or school of philosophers give to them when he had got through he had learned so far as metaphysics is concerned absolutely nothing and had merely the job of clearing out of his mind great masses of verbal cobwebs it was not even good intellectual training the metaphysical method of thought is a trap the person who thinks in absolutes and Ultimates is led to believe that he has come to conclusions about reality when as a matter of fact he has merely proved what he already wants to believe if he had wanted to believe the opposite he could have proven that exactly as well as his opponents will at once demonstrate if you multiply two feet by two feet the result represents a playing surface or a figure of two dimensions if you multiply two feet by two feet by two feet you have a solid or a figure of three dimensions such as the world in which we live and move but now suppose you multiply 2 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet what does that represent for ages the minds of mathematicians and philosophers have been tempted by this fascinating problem of the fourth dimension they have worked out by analogy what such a world would be like if you went into this fourth dimension you could turn yourself inside out and come back to our present world in that condition and no one of your three dimension friends would be able to imagine how you had managed it or to put you back again the way you've belonged and in this it seems to me we have the perfect analogy of metaphysical thinking it is the fourth dimension of the mind and please as much havoc with sound thinking as a physical fourth dimension would play with say the prison system a man who takes up an absolute god immortality the origin of being a first cause freewill absolute right or wrong infinite time or space final truth original substance the thing in itself that man disappears into a fourth dimension and himself inside-out or upside-down or hindsight foremost and comes back and exhibits himself in triumph then when he is ready he effects another disappearance and another change in his back on earth an ordinary human being the world is full of schools of thought theologians and meta physicians and professors of academic philosophy transcendentalists and Theosophists and christian scientists who perform such mental monkeyshines continuously before our eyes they prove what they please and the fact that no two of them proved the same thing makes clear to us in the end that none of them has proved anything the Christian Scientist asserts that there is no such thing as matter but that pain is merely a delusion of mortal mind he continues serene in this faith until he runs into an automobile and sustains a compound fracture of the femur whereupon he does exactly what any of the rest of us do goes to a competent surgeon and has the bone set on the other hand some devoted young socialists of my acquaintance have read Hegel and deed skin and have adopted the dogma that matter is the first cause and that all things have grown out of it and return to it they have seen that the brain decays after death they declare that the soul is a function of the brain and because of such theories they deliberately reject the most powerful modes of Appeal whereby man can be swayed to faith in human solidarity the best books I know for the sweeping out of metaphysical cobwebs are the philosophy of common sense and the Creed of a layman by Frederick Harrison leader of the English positivists a school of thought established by Auguste Comte but even as I recommend these books I recall with the dissatisfaction with which I left him for it appears that the positivists have their dogmas like all the rest mr. Harrison is not content to say that mankind has not the mental tools for dealing with ultimate realities he must needs prove that mankind never will and never can have these tools I look back upon the long process of evolution and ask myself what would an oyster think about positivism what would be the opinion let us say of a young turnip on the subject of mr. Frederick Harrison's thesis it may well be that the difference between a turnip and mr. Harrison is not so great as will be the difference between mr. Harrison and that super race which someday takes possession of the earth and of all the universe it does not seem to me good science or good sense to dogma ties about what this race will know or what will be its tools of thought what does seem to me good science and good sense is to take the tools which we now possess and use them to our utmost capacity what is it that we know about life we know a seemingly endless stream of sensations which manifest themselves in certain ways and seemed to in here and what we call things and beings we observe incessant change and all these phenomena and we examine these changes and discover their ways the ways seemed to be invariable so completely so that for practical purposes we assume them to be invariable and base all our calculations and actions upon this assumption manifestly we could not live otherwise and the spread of scientific knowledge is the further tracing out of such laws that is to say the ways of behaving of existence and the extending of our belief in their in variability to wider and wider fields once upon a time we were told that the wind bloweth where it listeth but now we are quite certain that there are causes for the blowing of the wind and when our researches have been carried far enough we shall be able to account for and to predict every smallest breath of air once we were told that dreams came from a supernatural world but now we are beginning to analyze the dreams and to explain what they come from and what they mean perhaps we still find human nature of bewildering and unaccountable thing but someday we shall know enough of man's body and his mind his past and his present to be able to explain human nature and to produce it at will precisely as today we produce certain reactions in our test tubes and do it so invariably that the most cautious financier will invest tens of millions of dollars in a process and never once reflect that he is putting too much trust in the permanence of nature in many departments of thought great specialists are now working experimenting and observing by the methods of science if in the course of this book we speak of certainty we mean of course not the absolute certainty of any metaphysical Dogma but the practical certainty of everyday common-sense the certainty we feel that eating food will satisfy our hunger and that tomorrow as today 2 and 2 will continue to make for end of chapter 1 chapter 2 the nature of faith attempts to show what we can prove by our reason and what we know intuitively what is implied in the process of thinking and without which no thought could be the primary fact that we know about life is growth Herbert Spencer has defined this growth or evolution in a string of long words which may be summed up to mean the process whereby a number of things which are simple and like one another become different parts of one thing which is complex if we observe this process in ourselves and the symptoms of it in others we discover that when it is proceeding successfully it is accompanied by a sensation of satisfaction which we call happiness or pleasure also that when it is thwarted or repressed it is accompanied by a different sensation which we call pain subtle metaphysicians both inside the churches and out have set themselves to the task of proving that there must be some other object of life than the continuance of these sensations of pleasure which company successful growth they have proven to their own satisfaction that morality will collapse and human progress come to an end unless we can find some other motive something more permanent and more stimulating something higher as they phrase it all I can say is that I gave reverent attention to the arguments of these moralists and theologians and that for many years I believed their doctrines but I believed them no longer I interpret the purpose of life to be the continuous unfoldment of its powers its growth into higher forms that is to say forms more complex and subtly contrive capable of more intense and enduring kinds of that satisfaction which is nature's warrant of life if you wish to take up this statement and argue about it please wait until you have read the chapter nature and man and noted my distinction between instinct of life and rational life for men the word growth does not mean any growth all growth blind and indiscriminate growth it does not mean growth for the tubercle bacillus nor growth for the Anopheles mosquito nor growth for the house fly the spider in a louse neither do we means that the purpose of man's life is in pleasure all pleasure blind an indiscriminate pleasure the pleasure of alcohol the pleasure of cannibalism the pleasure of the modern form of cannibalism which we call making money we have survived in the struggle for existence by the cooperative and social use of our powers of judgment and our judgment is that which selects among forms of growth which gives preference to wheat and corn over weeds and to self-control and honesty over treachery and greed so when we say that the purpose of life is happiness we do not mean to turn mankind loose at a hog trough we mean that our duty as thinkers is to watch life to test it to pick and choose among the many forms it offers and to say this kind of growth is more permanent and full of promise it is more fertile more deeply satisfactory therefore we choose this and sanction the kind of pleasure which it brings other kinds we decided temporary and elusive therefore we put in jail anyone who sells alcoholic drink and we refuse to invite to our home people who are lewd and someday we shall not permit our children to attend moving-picture shows in which the modern form of cannibalism is glorified the reader no doubt has been taught a distinction between science and faith he is saying now you believe that everything is to be determined by human reason you reject all face I answer no I am NOT rejecting faith I am merely refusing to apply it to objects with which it has nothing to do you do not take it as a matter of faith that a package of sugar weighs a pound you put it on the scales and find out in other words you make it a matter of experiment but all the Creed's of all the religious sects are full of pronouncements which are no more matters of faith than the question of the weighing of sugar is pork a wholesome article of food or is it not all Christians will readily acknowledge that this is a matter to be determined by the microscope and other devices of experimental science but then some Jew rises in the meeting and puts the question is dancing injurious to the character and immediately all members of the Methodist Episcopal Church vote to close the discussion what is faith faith is the instinct which underlies all being assuring us that life is worthwhile and honest a thing to be trusted in other words it is the certainty that successful growth always is and always will be accompanied by pleasure the most skeptical scientist in the world even my friend the physiologist who proves a life is nothing but a tropism and can be produced by mixing chemicals and test tubes this eager friend is one of the most faithful men I know he is burning up with the faith that knowledge is worth possessing and also that it is possible of attainment with what boundless scorn would he receive any suggestion to the contrary for example the idea that life might be a series of sensations which some sporto demon is producing for the torment of man more than that this friend is burning up with the certainty that knowledge can be spread that his fellow man will receive it and apply it and that it will make them happy when they do why else does he write his learn at books in defense of the materialist philosophy and that same faith which animates the great monist animates likewise every child who titles off to school and every chicken which he merges from an egg and every blade of grass which thrusts its head above the ground not every chicken survives of course and all the blades of grass wither in the fall nevertheless the seeds of grass are spread and the chickens make food for philosophers and the great process of life continues to manifest its faith in the end the life process produces man who as we shall presently see takes it up and judges it and makes it over to suit himself you will know from this that I am what is called an optimist whereas some of the great philosophers of the world have called themselves pessimists but I noticed with a smile that these are often the men who work hardest of all to spread their ideas and thus testify to the worthwhile nests of truth and the perfectibility of mankind there has come to be a saying among settlement workers and physicians who are familiar with poverty and its effects upon life that there are no bad babies and good babies there are only sick babies and well babies in the same way I would say there are no pessimists and optimists there are only mentally sick people and mentally well people everywhere throughout life both animal and vegetable health means happiness and gives abundant evidence of that fact all healthy life is satisfactory to itself when it develops reason it tries to find out why and this is yet another testimony to the fact that having power and using it is pleasant when I was in college the professor would propound the old question would you rather be a happy pig or an unhappy philosopher my answer always was I would rather be a happy philosopher the professor replied perhaps that is not possible but I said I prove that it is end of chapter 2 three and four of the book of life by Upton Sinclair this LibriVox recording is in the public domain Chapter three the use of reason attempts to show that in the field to which reason applies we are compelled to use it and are justified in trusting it the great majority of people are brought up to believe that some particular set of dogmas are objects of faith and that there are penalties more or less severe for the application of reason to these dogmas what particular said it happens to be is a matter of geography in a crowded modern city like New York it is a matter of the particular block on which the child is born a child born on Hester Street will be taught that his welfare depends upon his never eating meat and butter from the same dish a child born on 10th Avenue will be taught that it is a matter of his not eating meat on Fridays a child born on Madison Avenue will be taught that it is a question of the precise metaphysical process by which bread is changed into human body and wine into human blood each of these children will be assured that his human reason is fallible that it is extremely dangerous to apply it to this sacred subject and that the proper thing to do is to accept the authority of some ancient tradition or some institution or some official or some book for which a special sanction is claimed has there ever been in the world any revelation outside or above human reason could there ever be such a thing in order to test this possibility select for yourself the most convincing way by which a special revelation could be handed down to mankind take any of the ancient Orthodox ways the finding of grave and tablets on a mountaintop or a voice speaking from a burning bush or an angel appearing before a great Concord of people and handing out a written scroll suppose that were to happen to let us say at the next Yale Harvard football game suppose the news were to be flashed to the ends of the earth that God had thus presented to mankind an entirely new religion what would be the process by which the people of London or Calcutta would decide upon that revelation first they would have to consider the question whether it was an American newspaper fake by no means an easy question second they would have to consider the chance of its being an optical delusion then assuming they accepted the sworn testimony of 10,000 mature and competent witnesses they would have to consider the possibility of someone having invented a new kind of invisible aeroplane assuming they were convinced that it was really a supernatural being they would next have to decide the chance of its being a visitor from Mars or from the fourth dimension of space or from the devil in considering all this they would necessarily have to examine the alleged revelation what was the literary quality of it what was the moral quality of it what would be the effect upon mankind if the alleged revelation were to be universally adopted and applied manifestly all these are questions for the human reason the human judgment there is no other method of determining them there would be nothing for any individual person or for men as a whole to do except to apply their best powers and as the phrase is make up their minds about the matter reason would be the judge and the new revelation would be the prisoner at the bar humanity might say this is a real inspiration we will submit ourselves to it and follow it and allow no from now on to question it but inevitably there would be some who would say tommyrot there would be others who would say this new revelation isn't working it is repressing progress it is stifling the mind these people would stand up for their conviction they would become martyrs and all the world would have to discuss them and who would decide between them and the great mass of men reason the judge would decide it is perfectly true that human reason is fallible and fell ability is an absolute a concept of the mind and not a reality life has not given us infallibility any more than it has given us omniscience or omnipotence or any of the other attributes which we call divine life has given us powers more or less weak more or less strong but all capable of improvement and development reason is the tool whereby mankind has won supremacy over the rest of the animal kingdom and is gradually taking control of the forces of nature it is the best tool we have and because it is the best we are driven irresistible to use it and how strange that some of us can find no better use for it than to destroy its own self visit one of the Jesuit fathers and hear him seek to persuade you that reason is powerless against faith and must abdicate to faith you answer yes Father you have persuaded me I admit the fal ability of my mortal powers and I begin by applying my doubts of them to the arguments by which you have just convinced me I was convinced but of course I cannot be sure of a conviction attained by fallible reason therefore I am just where I was before except that I am no longer in position to be certain of anything you answer in good faith and take up your hat and depart closing the door of the good father study behind you but stop a moment why do you close the door you close the door because your reason tells you that otherwise the cold air outside will blow in and make the good father uncomfortable you put your hat on because your reason has not yet been applied to the problem of the cause of baldness you step out onto the street and when you hear sudden noise you step back onto the curbstone because your reason tells you that an automobile is coming and that on the sidewalk you are safe from it so you go on using your reason in a million acts of your life whereby your life is preserved and developed and if anybody suggested that the fal ability of your reason should cause you to delay in front of an automobile you would apply your reason to the problem of that person and decide that he was insane and I say that just as there is insanity and everyday judgments and relationships so there is insanity in philosophy metaphysics and religion the seed and source of all this kind of insanity being the notion that it is the duty of anybody to believe anything which cannot completely justify itself as reasonable nowadays as ideas are spreading the champions of dogma are hard put to it and you will find their minds a muddle of two points of view the Jewish rabbi will strive desperately to think of some hygienic objection to the presence of meat and butter on the same plate the Catholic priest will tell you that fish is a very wholesome article of food and that anyhow we all eat too much the Methodists and the Baptist and the Presbyterian will tell you that if men did not rest one day in seven their health would break down thus they justify faith by reason and reconcile the conflict between science and theology accepting this method I experiment and learn that it improves my digestion and adds to my working power if I play tennis on Sunday I follow this indisputably rational form of conduct and find myself in conflict with the faith of the ancient state of Delaware which obliges me to serve a term in its States prison for having innocently and unwittingly desecrated its day of holiness if you read professor burries little book a history of freedom of thought you will discover that there has been a long conflict over the right of men to use their minds and the victory is not yet the term freethinker which ought to be the highest badge a man could wear is still almost everywhere throughout America a term of vague terror in the state of California today there is a criminal syndicalism Act which provides a maximum of 14 years in jail for any person who shall write or publish or speak any words expressive of the idea that the United States government should be overthrown in the same way that it was established that is by force only a few months ago the writer of this book was on the witness stand for two days and had the painful almost incredible experience of being battered and knocked about by an inquisitive district attorney who cross-examined him as to every detail of his beliefs and read garbled extracts from his published writings in the effort to make it appear that he held some belief which might possibly prejudice the jury against him the defendant in this case a returned soldier who had spent three years as a volunteer in the trenches and had been twice wounded and once gas was accused not merely of approving the Soviet form of government but also of having printed uncomplimentary references to priests and religious institutions nowadays it is the property class which has taken possession of the powers of government and which presumes to censor the thinking of mankind in its own interest but whether it be priests craft or whether it be capitalism which seeks to bind the human mind it comes to the same thing and the effort must be met by the assertion that in spite of errors and blunders and the serious harm these may do there is no way for men to advance save by using the best powers of thinking they possess and proclaiming their conclusions to others speaking theologically for the moment and God has given us our reasoning powers and also the impulse to use them and it is inconceivable that he should seek to restrict their use or should give to anyone the power to forbid their use it is his truth which we seek and his which we proclaim in so doing we perform our highest act of faith and we refuse to be troubled by the idea that for this service he will reward us by an eternity of sulfur and brimstone throughout the remainder of this book it will be assumed that the reader accepts this point of view or at any rate that he is willing for the purposes of experiment to give it a trial and see where it leads him we shall proceed to consider the problems of human life in the light of Reason to determine how they come to be and how they can be solved end of chapter 3 chapter 4 the origin of morality come here's the ways of nature with human morality and tries to show how the latter came to be seventy years ago Charles Darwin published his book the origin of the species in which he defied the theological dogma of his time by the shocking idea that life had evolved by many stages of progress from the diatom to man this of course did not conform to the story of the Garden of Eden and so Darwinism was fought as an invention of the devil and in the interior of America there are numerous sectarian colleges where the dread term evolution is spoken in odd whispers only the other day I read in my newspaper the triumphant proclamation of some clergymen that Darwinism had been overthrown this Reverend gentlemen had got mixed up because some biologists were disputing some detail of the method by which the evolution of species had been brought about new species changed by the gradual elimination of the unfit or do they change by sudden leaps the mutation theory of DeVries our acquired power is transmitted to posterity or is the germ plasm unaffected by its environment concerning such questions the scientists debate but the facts that life has evolved in an ordered series from the lower forms to the higher and that each individual reproduces in embryo and an infancy the history of this long process these facts are now the basis of all modern thinking and as generally accepted as the rotation of the earth you may study this process of evolution from the outside in the multitude of forms which it has assumed and in their reactions one to another or you may study it from the inside in your own soul the emotions which accompany it the impulse our craving which impels it the Elan V tau as it is called by the French philosopher Barracks n' the christians call it love and Nietzsche who hated Christianity called it the will to power and persuaded himself that it was the opposite of love you will find in the essays of Professor Huxley one entitled evolution and ethics in which he sets forth the complete unmoor ality of nature and declares that there is no way by which what mankind knows as morality can have originated in the process of nature or can be reconciled to natural law this statement coming from a leading agnostic was welcome to the theologians but when I first read the essay as a student of sixteen it seemed to me narrow I thought I saw a standpoint from which the contradiction disappeared the difference between the morality of Christ and the morality of nature is merely the difference between a lower and a higher stage of mental development the animal loves and seeks by instincts to preserve the life which it knows that is to say its own life and life of its young the wolf knows nothing about the feelings of a deer but man in his savage state develops reasoning powers enough to realize that there are others like himself the members of his own tribe and he makes for himself taboos which forbid him to kill and eat the members of that tribe at the present time humanity has developed his reason and imaginative sympathy to include in the tribe one or two hundred million people while to those outside the tribe it still preserves the attitude of the wolf how came it that a mind so acute as Huxley's went so far astray on the question of the evolution of morality the answer is that this was the factory age in England and the great scientist a rebel in theological matters was in economics a child of his time we find him using the formulas of bourgeois biology to ridicule Henry George in his plea for the freeing of the land competition is the life of trade ran the 19th century slogan and competition was the god of the 19th century biology Tennyson summed it up in a phrase nature red in tooth and claw with Raven and this was found convenient by Manchester manufacturers who wished to shut little children up for 14 hours a day in cotton mills and to harness women to drag cars in the coal mines and to be told by the learning men of their colleges and the holy men of their churches that this was the survival of the fittest it was Nature's Way of securing the advancement of the race but now we are preparing for an era of cooperation and it occurs to our men of science to go back to nature and find out what really are her ways if you will read Kropotkin mutual aid as a factor in evolution you will find a complete refutation of the old bourgeois biology and a view of nature which reveals in it the germs of human morality Kropotkin points out that everywhere throughout nature it is the social and not the solitary animals which are most numerous and most successful there are many millions of ants and bees for every hawk or eagle and certainly in the state of nature there were thousands of deers for every lion or tiger that preyed upon them and all these social creatures have their ways of being which quire's no stress of the imagination to compare with the tribal customs and the moral codes of mankind the different animals prey upon one another but they do not prey upon their own species except in a very few rare cases the only beast that makes a regular practice of exploiting his own kind is man by hundreds of interesting illustrations Kropotkin shows that mutual aid and mutual self-protection are the means whereby the higher forms of being have been evolved insects and birds and fish nearly all the herbivorous mammals and even a great many of the carnivores help one another and protect one another the chattering monkeys in the treetops drove out the saber-tooth tiger from the Grove because there were so many of them and when they saw him they all set up a shrieking clamor which deafened and confused him and when by-and-by these monkeys developed an opposed thumb and broke off a branch of a tree for a club and fastened a sharp stone on the end of it for an axe and fell upon the saber-toothed tiger and exterminated him they did it because they had learned solidarity even as the workers of the world are today learning solidarity in the face of the Beast of capitalism man has survived by the cunning of his brain we are told and that is true but first among the products of that cunning brain has been the knowledge that by himself he is the most helpless and pitiful of creatures while standing together and forming societies and developing moralities he is the master of the world he has not yet learned that lesson entirely he has learned it only for his own nation therefore he takes the highest skill of his hand and the subtlest wit of his brain and uses them to manufacture poison gases at the present hour he is painfully realizing that his poison formulas all become known to the tribes whom he calls his enemies and so it is his own destruction that he is engaged in contriving in other words man has come to a time when his mechanical skill his mastery over the forces of nature has developed more rapidly than his moral sense and his imaginative sympathy his ability to destroy life has become dangerously greater than his desire to preserve it so he confronts the fair face of nature as an insane creature wrecking not merely everything that he himself has built up but everything that nature has built in the ages before him he is striving now with infinite agony to make this fact real to himself and to mend his evil ways and the first step in that process is to root out from his mind the devil's doctrine which in his blindness and greed he has himself implanted that there is any way for him to find real happiness or to make any worthwhile progress on this earth by the method of inflicting misery and torment upon his fellow men end of chapter 4 chapters five and six of the book of life by Upton Sinclair this LibriVox recording is in the public domain Chapter five nature and man attempts to show how man has taken control of nature and is carrying on her processes and improving upon them if the argument of the preceding chapter is sound human morality is not a fixed and eternal set of laws but is like everything else in the world a product of natural evolution we can trace the history of it just as we trace the story of the rocks it is not a mysterious or supernatural thing it is simply the reaction of man to his environment and more especially to his fellow man the source of it is that same inner impulse that love of life that joy in growing that faith which appears to be the soul of all being men is a part of nature and a product of nature in many fundamental respects his ways are still nature's ways in his laws still nature's laws but there are other and even more significant ways in which man has separated himself from nature and made himself something quite different in order to reveal this clearly we draw a distinction between a nature and man this is a proper thing to do provided we bear in mind that our classification is not permanent or final we distinguish frogs from tadpoles in spite of the fact that at one stage the creature is half tadpole and half frog we distinguish the animal from the vegetable kingdom despite the fact that in their lower forms and they cannot be distinguished what precisely is the difference between nature and man the difference lies in the fact that nature is apparently blind in her processes she produces a million eggs in order to give life to one salmon she produces countless millions of salmon to be devoured by other fish apparently no better than salmon poets may take up the doctrine of evolution and dress it out in theological garments talking about the one far-off divine event towards which the whole creation moves but for all we can see nature apart from man is just as well satisfied to move in circles and to come back exactly where she started nature made a whole world of complicated creatures in the steamy lukewarm swamps of the Mesozoic era and then as if deciding that the pattern of a large body in a small brain was not a success she froze them all to death with a glacial epoch and we have nothing but the bones to tell us about them no one understands anything about evolution until he has realized that the phrase the survival of the fittest does not mean the survival of the best from any human point of view it merely means the survival of those capable of surviving in some particular environment do we consider our present civilization as fit but if astronomical changes should cause another Ice Age we should discover that our Fitness depended upon our ability to live on lichens or on something we could grow by artificial light in the bowels of the earth so much for our ancient mother nature but now whether we say with the theologians that it was divine providence or with the materialist philosophers that it was an accidental mixing of atoms at any rate it has come about that nature has recently produced creatures who are conscious of her process who are able to observe and criticize it to take up her work and carry an on in their own way for better or for worse whether by accident or design there has been on parts of our planet such a combination of climate soil as has brought into being a new product of nature a heightened form of life which we call intelligence creation opens its eyes and B holds the work of the Creator and decides that it is good yet not so good as it might be creation takes up the work of the Creator and continues it in many respects annulling it in other respects revising it entirely whether a sonnet is a better or higher product than a spider is a question it would be futile to discuss but this at least should be clear nature has produced an infinity of spiders but nature never produced a sonnet nor anything resembling it man the creature of God takes over the functions of God this fact may shock us or it may inspire us to the metaphysically minded it offers a great variety of fascinating problems can it be that God is in the process of becoming that there is no God until he has become in us and through us HG Wells sets forth this curious idea and then of course the bishops and the clergy rise up in indignation and denounce mr. Wells as an upstart and a trespasser upon their field they have been worshipping their God for some three or four thousand years and know that he has been from eternity he created the world at his will and how shall impious man presumed to rise up and criticize his product and imagine that he can improve upon it man with his cheap and silly little toys his sonnets and scientific systems his symphony concerts and such pale imitations of the celestial harmonies mr. wells in his character of God in the making has created a bishop of his own and no doubt would maintain the thesis that he is a far better Bishop than any created by the god of the Anglican churches we will leave mr. wells Bishop to argue these problems with God's bishops and will merely remind the reader of our warning about these metaphysical matters you can prove anything and everything which ever and however all are both and discussions of the subject are merely your enunciation of the fact that you have your private truth as you want it it may be that there is an infinite consciousness which carries the whole process of creation in itself and that all the seeming wastes and blunders of nature can be explained from some point of view at present beyond the reach of our minds on the other hand it may be the consciousness is now dawning in the universe for the first time it may be that it is an accident a fleeting product like the morning mist on the mountaintop on the other hand it may be that it is destined to grow and expand and take control of the entire universe as a farmer takes control of a field for his own purposes it may be that just as our individual fragments of intelligence communicate and merge into a family a club a nation a world culture so we shall someday grope our way toward the consciousness of other planets or of other states of being subsisting on this planet unknown to us or perhaps even toward the cosmic soul the universal consciousness which we call God but meantime all we can say with positiveness is this man the created is becoming the Creator he is taking up the world purpose he is imposing upon it new purposes of his own he is attempting to impose upon it a moral code to test it and discipline it by a new standard which he calls economy to the present writer this seems the most significant fact about life the most fascinating point of view from which life can be regarded the reader who wishes to follow it into greater detail is referred to a little book by Professor Irae Lancaster the kingdom of man especially the opening essay was it's fascinating title nature's insurgent sauna in what ways have the reasoned and deliberate purposes of man revised and even supplanted the processes of nature the ways are so many that it would be easier to mention those in which he has not done so a modern civilized man is hardly content with anything that nature does nor willing to accept any of nature's products he will not eat nature's fruits he prefers the kinds that he himself has brought into being he is not content with the skin and nature has given him he has made himself an infinite variety of complicated coverings he objects to nature's habit of pouring cold water upon him and so he has built himself houses in which he makes his own climate he has recently taken to creating for himself houses which roll along the ground or which fly through the air or which swim under the surface of the sea so he carries his private climbing with him to all those places it was nature's custom to remove her blunders and her experiments quickly from her sight but man has decided that he loves life so well that he will preserve even the imbeciles too lame and the halt and the blind in a state of nature if a man's eyes were not properly focused he blundered into the lair of a tiger and was eaten but civilized man despises such a method of maintaining the standard of human eyes he creates for himself a transparent product ground to such a curve that it corrects the focus of his eyes it makes him as good as any other eyes in 10,000 such ways we might name man has rebelled against the harshness of his ancient mother and has freed himself from her control but still he is the child of his mother and so it is his way to act first and then to realize what he has done so it comes about that very few even of the most highly educated men are aware how completely the ancient ways of nature have been suppressed by her insurgent son it is a good deal as in the various trades and professions which have developed with such amazing rapidity in the modern civilization the paper man knows how to make paper the shoe man knows how to make shoes the optician knows about grinding glasses but none of these knows very much about the other specialty and has no realization of how far the other has gone so comes about that in our colleges we are still teaching ancient and immutable laws of nature which in the actual practice of men at work are as extinct and forgotten as the dodo in all colleges except a few which have been tainted by socialist thought the students are solemnly learning that the so called Malthusian law that population presses continuously upon the limits of subsistence there are always a few more people in every part of the world than that part of the world is able to maintain at any time we increase the world's productive powers the population will increase correspondingly so there can never be an end to human misery and abortion war and famine are simply nature's eternal methods of adjusting man to his environment thus solemnly we are taught in the colleges and yeah nine out of ten of the students come from homes where the parents have discovered the modern practice of birth control all the students are themselves finding out about it in one way or another and will proceed when they marry to restrict themselves to two or three children in vain will the ghost of their favorite statesman and hero Theodore Roosevelt be traveling up and down the land denouncing them for the dreadful crime of race suicide that is to say they're presuming to use their reason to put an end to the ghastly situation revealed by the Malthusian law overpopulation eternally recurring and checked by abortion war and famine in vain will the ghosts of their favorite sainted moralist Anthony Comstock be traveling up and down oh and putting people in jail for daring to teach to poor women what every rich woman knows and for attempting to change the entirely man-made state of affairs whereby an intelligent and self-governing anglo-saxon land is being in two or three generations turned over to a slum population of Italians poles Hungarians Portuguese French Canadians Mexicans and Japanese likewise in every Orthodox college the student is taught what his professors are pleased to call the law of diminishing returns of agriculture that is to say additional labor expended upon a plot of land does not result in an equal increase of produce and the increase grows less until finally you come to a time when no matter how much labor you expend you can get no more produce from that plot of land all professors teach this because 50 years ago it was true and since that time it has not occurred to any professor of political science to visit a farm and all the while out in the suburbs of the city where the college is located market gardeners are practicing on any enormous scale a new system of intensive agriculture which makes the law of diminishing returns a foolish joke as Kropotkin shows in his book fields factories and workshops the modern intensive gardener by use of glass and the chemical test tube has developed an entirely new science of plant raising he is independent of climate he makes his own climate he is independent of the defects of the soil he would just as soon start from nothing and make his soil upon an asphalt pavement but doubling his capital investment he raises not twice as much produce but ten times as much if his methods were applied to the British Isles he could raise sufficient produce on this small surface to feed the population of the entire globe so we see that by simple and entirely harmless devices man is in position to restrict or to increase population as he sees fit also he is in position to raise food and produce the necessities of life for a hundred or a thousand times as many people as an now on the earth but superstition ordains involuntary Parenthood and capitalism or gains that land shall be held out of use for speculation or shall be exploited for rent and this is done in the name of nature that old nature of the tooth and claw whose ancient plan it is that they shall take who have power and they shall keep who can that ancient nature which has been so entirely suppressed and supplanted by civilized man and which survives only as a ghost a skeleton to be resurrected from the tomb for the purpose of frightening the enslaved when a predatory financier wishes a fur overcoat to protect himself from the cold or when he hires a masseur to keep up the circulation of his blood you do not find him troubling himself about the laws of nature never will he mention this old scarecrow except when he is trying to persuade the workers of the world to go on paying him tribute for the use of the natural resources of the earth end of chapter 5 chapter 6 man the rebel shows the transition stage between instinct and reason in which man finds himself and how he can advance to a secure condition in the state of nature you find every creature living a precarious existence incessantly beset by enemies and the creature survives only so long as it keeps itself at the top of its form the result is the maintenance of the type in its full perfection and under the competitive pressure a gradual increase of its powers accepting when sudden eruptions of natural forces occur every creature is perfectly provided with a set of instincts for all emergencies it is in harmonious relationship to its environment it knows how to do what it has to do and even its fears and its pains serve for its protection but now comes man and overthrows this state of nature abolishes the competitive struggle and changes at his own insolent will both his environment and his reaction thereto man's changes are in the beginning all along one line they are for his own greater comfort the avoidance of the inconveniences of nature and the stresses of the competitive struggle in a state of nature there are no fat animals but in civilization there are not merely fat animals but fat men to eat the fat animals in a state of nature no animal loafs very long it has to go out and hunt its food again but man by his superior cunning compels the animals to work for him and also his fellow men so he produces unlimited wealth for himself not merely can he eat and drink and sleep all he wants but he builds a whole elaborate set of laws and moral customs and religious codes about this power he invents manners and customs and literature's in arts expressive of his superiority to nature and to his fellow men and of his ability to enslave and exploit them so he destroys for his imperious self the beneficent guardianship which Nature had maintained over him he develops a thousand complicated diseases a thousand monstrous abnormalities of body and mind and spirit and each one of these diseases and abnormalities is a new life of its own it develops a body of knowledge a science and perhaps an art it becomes the means of life the environment and the determining destiny of thousands perhaps millions of human beings so continues the growth of the colossal structure which we call civilization in part still healthy and progressive but in part as foul and deadly is a gigantic cancer what is to be done about this cancer first of all it must be diagnosed the extent of it precisely mapped out and the causes of it determined man and the rebel has rejected his mother nature and has lost and for the most part forgotten the instincts with which she provided him he has destroyed the environment which however harsh to the individual was beneficent to the race and has set up in the place of it a gigantic pleasure house with talking machines and moving pictures and soda fountains and manicure parlors and gents furnishing establishments shall we say that man is to go back to a state of nature that he shall no longer make asylums for the insane and homes for the defective eyeglasses for the astigmatic in malted milk for the dyspeptic there are some who preached that among the multitudes of strange books and pamphlets which come in my mail I found the other day of volume from England social chaos and the way out by Alfred Baker read a learned and imposing tome of 364 pages wherein with all the paraphernalia of learning it is gravely maintained that the solution for the ills of civilization is a return to the ancient Greek practice of infanticide every child at birth is to be examined by a committee of physicians and if it is found to possess any defect or if the census has established that there are enough babies in the world for the present this baby shall be mercifully and painlessly asphyxiated you might think that this is a joke after the fashion of Swift's proposal for eating the children of famine-stricken Ireland I have spent some time examining this book before I risk committing myself to the statement that it is the work of a sober scientist with no idea whatever of fun if we are going to think clearly on this subject the first point we have to understand is that Nature has nothing to do with it we cannot appeal to nature because we are many thousands of years beyond her sway we left her when the first ape came down out of the treetops and fastened a sharp stone to the end of his club we bade irrevocable goodbye to her when the first man kept himself from freezing and altered his diet by means of fire therefore it is no argument to say that this that or the other remedy is unnatural our choice will lie among the thousand different courses but the one thing we may be sure of is that none of them will be natural Barrens father in one of his war cartoons portrays a British officer on leave who got homesick for the trenches and went out into the garden and dug himself a hole in the mud and sat shivering in the rain all night and this amuses us vastly but we should be even more amused if any kind of reformer physician moralist clergyman or legislator should suggest to us any remedy for our ills that was really according to nature civilized man creature of art and of knowledge has no love for nature except as an object for the play of his fancy in his wit he means to live his own life he means to hold himself above nature with all his powers yet obviously he cannot go on accumulating diseases he cannot give his life blood to the making of a cancer while his own proper tissue is starved he must somehow divert the flow of his energies his social blood stream so to speak from the cancer to the healthy growth to abandon the metaphor man will determine by the use of his reason what he wishes life to be he will choose the highest forms of it to which he can attain he will then by the deliberate act of his own will devote his energies to those tasks he will make for himself new laws new moral codes new customs and ways of thought calculated to bring to reality the ideal which he has formed so only can man justify himself as a creator so can he realize the benefit and escape the penalties of his revolt from his ancient mother and then perhaps we shall make the discovery that we have come back to nay only in a new form nature harsh and cruel wasteful and blind as we call her yet had her deep wisdom she cared for the species she protected and preserved the type man in his new pride of power has invented a philosophy which he dignifies by the name of individualism he lives and works for himself he chooses to wear silk shirts and to break the speed limit and to pin ribbons and crosses on his chest now what he must do with his new morality if he wishes to save himself from degeneration is to manifest the wisdom and fire vision of the old mother whom he spurned and to say to himself deliberately as an act of high daring I will protect the species I will preserve the type I will deny myself the raptures of alcoholic intoxication because it damages the health of my offspring I will deny myself the amusement of sexual promiscuity for the same reason I will devise imitations of the chase and of battle in order that I may keep my physical body up to the best standard of nature because I understand that all civilized life is based upon intelligence I will acquire knowledge and spread it among my fellow men because I perceive that civilization is impossible without sympathy and because sympathy makes it impossible for me to be happy while my fellow men are ignorant and degraded therefore I dedicate my energies to the extermination of poverty war parasites ISM and all forms of exploitation of man by his fellows professor William James is the author of an excellent essay entitled a moral equivalent for war he sets forth the idea that men have loved war through the ages because it has called or their highest efforts has made them more fully aware of the powers of their being he asks may it not be possible for man of his own free impulse born of his love of life and the wonderful potentialities which unfolds to invent for himself a discipline a code based not upon the destruction of other men and their enslavement but upon cooperative emulation in the unfoldment of the powers of the mind that this can be done by men I have never doubted that it will be done and done quickly has been made certain by the late world conflict which has demonstrated to all thinking people that the progress of the mechanical arts has been such that man is now able to inflict upon his own civilization more damage than it is able to endure end of chapter 6 end of section 3 chapter seven and eight of the book of life by Upton Sinclair this LibriVox recording is in the public domain Chapter seven making our morals attempts to show that human morality must change to fit human facts and there can be no judge of it save human reason assuming the arguments of the preceding chapters to be accepted it appears that human life is in part at least a product of human will guided by human intelligence man finds himself in the position of the crew of a ship in the middle of the ocean he does not know exactly how the ship was made or how it came to be in its present position but he has discovered how the engines are run and how the ship is steered and the meaning of the compass so now he takes charge of the ship and keeps it afloat amid many perils and meantime on the bridge of the vessel there goes on a furious argument over the question what port the ship shall be steered to and what chart shall be used it is not well as a rule to trust two similes but this simile is useful because it helps us to realize how fluid and changeable are the conditions of man's life and how incessant and urgent the problems with which he finds himself confronted the moral and legal codes of mankind may be compared to the steering orders which are given to the helmsman of the vessel north east by north he is told and if during the night a heavy wind arises and pushes the bow of the vessel off to the starboard then the helmsman has to push the wheel in the opposite direction if he does not do so he may find that his vessel has swung round and is going to some other part of the world next morning the passengers may wake up and find the ship is on the rocks because the helmsman persisted in following certain steer in directions which were laid down in an ancient Hebrew book two or three thousand years ago if life is a continually changing product then the laws which govern conduct must also be continually changing and morality is a problem of continuous adjustment to new circumstances and new needs if man is free to work upon this changing environment he must be free to make new tools and devise new processes if it is the task of reason to choose among many possible courses and many possible varieties of life then clearly it is man's duty to examine and revise every detail of his laws and customs and moral codes this is of course in flat contradiction to the teachings of all religions so far as I know there is no religion which does not teach that the conduct of man in certain matters has been eternally fixed by some higher power and that it is man's duty to conform to these rules it is considered to be wicked even to suggest any other idea in fact to do so is the most wicked thing in the world far more dangerous than any actual infraction of the code whatever it may be let us see how this works out in practice let us take protest the Ten Commandments these Commandments were given upon stone tablets some 4000 years ago and are supposed to have been valid ever since thou shalt not kill is one other's phrase it thou shalt do no murder and in this double version we see at once the beginnings of controversy if you are a Quaker you accept the former version while if you are a member of the military General Staff of your country you accept the latter you maintain the right to kill your fellow men provided that those who do the killing have been previously clad in a special uniform indicating their distinctive function as killers of their fellow men you maintain in other words the right of making war and presently when you get into making war you find yourself maintaining the right to kill not merely by the old established method of the sword and the bullet but by means of poison gases which destroy the lives of women and children perhaps a whole city full at a time and also of course you maintain the right to kill provided the killing has been formally ordered and sanctioned by a man who sits upon a raised bench and wears a black robe and perhaps a powdered wig you consider that by the simple device of putting this man into a black robe in a powdered wig you endow him with the authority to judge and revise the divine law in other words you subjects this divine law to human reason and if some religious fanatic refuses to be so subjected you call him by the dread name pacifist and if he attempts to preach his idea you send him to prison for 1020 years which means in actual practice that you kill him by the slow effects of malnutrition and tubercular infection if he is ordered to put on the special costume of killing and refuses to do so you call him a co and you bully and beat him and perhaps administered to him the water cure in your dungeons or take the commandment that we shall not commit adultery surely this is a law about which we can agree but presently we discovered that unhappily married couples desire to part and that if we do not allow them to part we actually cause the commission of a great deal more adultery than otherwise therefore our wise men meet together and revise this divine law and decide that it is not adultery if a man takes another wife provided he has received from a judge an engraved piece of paper permitting him to do so but some of the followers of religion refused to admit this right of mere mortal man the Catholic Church attempts to enforce its own laws and declares the people who divorce and remarry are really living in adultery and committing mortal sin the Episcopal Church does not go quite so far as that it allows the innocent party in the divorce to remarry other churches are content to accept the state law as it stands is it not manifest that all these groups are applying human reason and nothing bought human reason to the interpreting and revising of their divine Commandments or take the law thou shalt not steal surely we can all agree upon that let us do so but our agreement gets us nowhere because we have to set up a human court to decide what is stealing is it stealing to seize upon land and kill the occupants of it and take the land for your own and hand it down to your children forever yes of course that is stealing you say but at once you have to revise your statement it is not stealing if it was done a sufficient number of years ago in that case the results of it are sanctified by law and held unchangeable forever also we run up against the fact that it is not stealing if it is done by the state by men who have been dressed up in the costume of killers before they commit the act again is it stealing two whole land out of use for speculation while other men are starving and dying for lack of land to labor upon some of us call this stealing but we are impolitely referred to as radical and if we venture to suggest that anyone should resist this kind of stealing we are sentenced to slow death from malnutrition and tubercular infection again it's a stealing for a victim of our system of land monopoly to take a loaf of bread in order to save the life of his starving child the law says that this is stealing and sends the man to jail for this act yet the common sense of mankind protests and I have heard a great many respectable Americans ventures so far in radicalism as to say that they themselves would steal under such circumstances one could pile of illustrations without limit but this is enough to make clear the point that it is perfectly futile to attempt to talk about divine rules for human conduct regardless of any ideas you may hold or any wishes you are forced at every hour of your life to apply your reason to the problems of your life and you have no escape from the task of judging and deciding all that you do is to judge right or to judge wrong and if you just wronged you inflict misery upon yourself and upon all who come into contact with you how much more sensible therefore to recognize a fact of moral and intellectual responsibility to investigate the data of life with which you have to deal the environment by which you are surrounded and to train your judgment so that you will be able to fit yourself to it with quickness and certainty but the believer in religion will say this leaves mankind without any guide or Authority how can human beings act how could they deal with one another if there are no laws no permanent moral codes the answer is that to accept the idea of the evolution of morality does not mean at all that there will be no permanent laws and working principles many of the facts of life are fixed for all practical purposes the purposes not merely of your life in my life but the life of many generations we are not likely to see in our time the end of the ancient Hebrew announcements that the sins of the father are visited upon the children therefore it is possible for us to study out of a course of action based upon the duty of every father to hand down to his children the gift of a sound mind in a sound body the Catholic Church has had for a thousand years or more the mortal sin of gluttony upon its list and today comes experimental science with its new weapons of research and discovers Auto intoxication and the hardening of the arteries and makes it very unlikely that the moral codes of men will ever fail to list gluttony as a mortal sin indeed science has added to gluttony not merely drunkenness but all use of alcoholic liquor for beverage purposes we have done this in spite of the manifest fact that the drinking of wine was not merely an Old Testament virtue but a New Testament religious right to say the human life changes and that new discoveries and new powers make necessary new laws and moral customs is to say something so obvious that it might seem a waste of paper and ink man has invented the automobile and has crowded himself into cities and so has to adopt a rigid set of traffic regulations so far as I know it has never occurred to any religious enthusiasts to seek in the book of Revelation for information as to the advisability of the left-hand turn at Broadway and 42nd Street New York at five o'clock in the afternoon but modern science has created new economic facts just as unprecedented as the automobile it has created new possibilities of spending and new possibilities of starving for man kind it has made new cravings and new satisfactions new crimes and new virtues and yet the great mass of our people are still seeking to guide themselves in their readjustments to these new facts by ancient codes which have no more relationship to these facts than they have to the affairs of Mars I am acquainted with a certain lady one of the kindest and most devoted Souls alive who seeks to solve the problems of her life and of her large family of children and grandchildren according to sentences which she picks out more or less at random from certain more or less random chapters of ancient Hebrew literature this lady will find some words which she imagines apply to the matter and will shut her devout eyes to fact that there are other texts bearing on the matter which say exactly the opposite she will place the strangest and most unimaginable interpretations upon the words and yet will be absolutely certain that her interpretation is the voice of God speaking directly to her if you try to tell her about socialism she will say the poor ye have always with you which means that it is interfering with the divine providence to try to remedy poverty on any large scale this lady is ready instantly to relieve any single case of want she regards it as her duty to do this in fact she considers that the purpose of some people's poverty is to provide her with a chance to do the noble action of relieving it you would think that the meaning of the sentence spare the rod and spoil a child would be so plain that no one could mistake it but this good lady understood it to mean that god forbade the physical chastisement of children and preferred them spoiled she held this idea for half a lifetime until it was pointed out to her that the sentence is not in the Bible but in hoody brah an Old English poem end of chapter 7 chapter 8 the virtue of moderation attempts to show that wise conduct is an adjustment of means to an end and depends upon the understanding of a particular set of circumstances some years ago I used to know an ardent single tax propagandist who found my way of arguing intensely irritating because as he phrased it I had no principles we would be discussing for example a protective tariff and I would wish to collect statistics but discovered to my bewilderment that to my single tax friend a customs duty was stealing on the part of the government the government had a right to tax land because that was the gift of nature but it had no right to tax the products of human labor and when it took a portion of the goods which anyone brought into a country the government was playing the part of a robber of course such a man was annoyed by the suggestion that in the early stages of a country's development it might possibly be a good thing for the country to make itself independent and self-sufficient by encouraging the development of its manufacturers that on the other hand when these manufacturers had grown to such a size that they controlled the government it might be an excellent thing for the country to subject them to the pressure of foreign competition in order to lower their value as a preliminary to socializing them the reader who comes to this book looking for hard and fast rules of life will be disappointed it would be convenient if someone could lay down for us a moral code and lift from our shoulders the inconvenient responsibility of deciding about our own lives there may be persons so weak that they have to have the conditions of their lives thus determined for them but I am not writing for such persons I am writing for adult and responsible individuals and I bear in mind that every individual is a separate problem with separate needs and separate duties there are of course a good many rules that apply to everybody in almost all emergencies but I cannot think of a single rule that I would be willing to say I would apply in my life without a single exception thou shalt not kill is a rule that I have followed so far without exception but as soon as I turn my imagination loose I can think of many circumstances under which I should kill I remember discussing the matter with a pacifist friend of mine and out-and-out religious non-resistant I pointed out him that people sometimes went insane and in that condition they sometimes seized hatchets and killed anyone in sight what would my pacifist friend do if he saw a maniac attacking his children with a hatchet it did not help him to say that he would use all possible means short of killing the maniac he had finally to admit that if he were quite sure it was a question of the life of the maniac or the life of the child he would kill and this is not mere verbal quibbling because such things do happen in the world and people are confronted with such emergencies and they have to decide and no rule is a general rule if it has a single exception there is a saying that the exception proves the rule but this is very silly it is a mistranslation of the Latin word Probot which means not proves but tests no exception can prove a rule what the exception does is to test the rule by showing that the result does not follow in the exceptional case the only kind of rule which can be laid down for human conduct is a rule in such general terms that it escapes exceptions by leaving the matter open for every man's difference of opinion any kind of rule which is specific will sooner or later pass out of date pay by way of illustration the ancient and well-established virtue of frugality obviously under a state of nature or of economic competition it is necessary for every man to lay by a store for a rainy day but suppose we could set up a condition of economic security under which society guaranteed to every man the full product of his labor and the old and the sick were fully taken care of then how foolish a man would seem who troubled to acquire a surplus of goods it would be as if we saw him riding on horseback through the main street of our town in a full suit of armor I devote a great deal of space to this question of a fixed and unchangeable morality because it is one of the heaviest burdens that mankind carries upon its back the record of human history is sickening not so much because of blood and slaughter but because of fanaticism because wherever the mind of man attempts to assert itself to escape from the blind rule of animal greed it adopts a set of formulas and proceeds to enforce them regardless of the consequences upon the whole of life consider for example the rule of the Puritans in England the Puritans glorified conscience and it is perfectly proper to glorify conscience but not to the entire suppression of the beauty making faculties in man Macha Lee summed up the Puritan point of view in the sentence that they objected to bear baiting not because it gave pain to the bear but because it gave pleasure to the spectators as a result of applying that principle and lacing mankind in a straitjacket by legislation England swung back into a reaction under the Cavaliers in which debauchery held more complete sway than ever before or since in English life this is a hard lesson but it must be learned there is no virtue that does not become a vise if it is carried to extremes there is no virtue that does not become a vise if it is applied at the wrong time or under the wrong circumstances or at the wrong stage of human development in fact we may say that most vices are virtues Mis applied the so-called natural vices are simply natural impulses carried to excess while the unnatural vices result from the suppression and distortion of natural impulses the Greeks had as their supreme virtue what they called so frozen a it is a beautiful word worth remembering it means a beautiful quality called moderation we shall find as we come to investigate that life is a series of compromises among many different needs many different desires many different duties and reason sits as a wise and patient judge and appoints to each its proper portion and denies to it and excess which would starve the others such as true morality and it is incompatible with the existence of any fixed code whether of human origin or divine the fixed morality is a survival of a far off past of the days of instinct and servitude human reason has developed but slowly and perhaps only a few people are as yet entirely capable of taking control of their own destiny perhaps it is really dangerous to sink for oneself but if we investigate carefully we may decide that the danger is not so much to ourselves as it is to others the most evil of all the habits that man has inherited from his far off past is the habit of exploiting his fellows and in order to exploit them more safely the ruling castes of priests and kings and Nobles and property owners have taken possession of the moralities of the world and shaped them for their own convenience they have taught the slave virtues of credulity and Submission they have surrounded their teachings with all the terrors of the supernatural they have placed upon rebellion to penalties not merely of this world but of the next not merely of the dungeon and the rack but of Hellfire and brimstone I do not wish to go to extremes and say that the moral codes now taught in the world are made holy in this evil way as a matter of fact they are a queer jumble of the two elements the slave terrors of the past and the common sense of the present there is not one moral code in the world today there are many there's one for the rich and an entirely different one for the poor and the rich have had a great deal more to do with shaping the code of the poor then the poor have had to do with shaping the code of the rich there is one code for governments and an entirely different one for the victims of governments there is one code for business and an entirely different one a far more human and decent one for friendship above all there is one code for Sunday and another code for the other six days of the week most of our idealisms and are sentimental fine phrases we reserved for our Sunday code while for every day code we go back to the rule of the jungle dog-eat-dog or do unto others as they would do unto you but do it first when you attempt to suggest a new moral code to our present-day moral authorities it is the fine phrases of the Sunday Code they bring out for exhibition purposes and perhaps you are impressed by their arguments until Monday morning when you attempt to apply this code at the office and they stare at you and bewilderment or burst out laughing in your face what I am trying to do here is to outline a code that will not be a matter of phrases but a matter of practice it will apply to all men rich as well as poor and to all seven days of the week I am not so much suggesting a code as pointing out you how you can work out your own code for yourself I am suggesting that you should adopt it not because I tell you to but because you yourself have taken it and tested it precisely as you would test any other of the practical affairs of your life potatoes is an article of diet or some particular sack of potatoes that a peddler was trying to sell you it is not yet possible for you to be as sure about everything in your life as you can be about the sack of potatoes human knowledge has not gone that far but at least you can know what is to be known and if anything is a matter of uncertainty you can know that such knowledge is often the most important of all just as the driver of an automobile wants to know if a bridge is not to be depended on so I say to you that if you want to find happiness in this life look with distrust upon all absolutes and Ultimates all hard and fast rules all formulas and dogmas and general principles bear in mind that there are many factors in every case there are many complications in every human being there are many sides to every question try to keep an open mind and an even temper try to take an interest in learning something new every day and in trying some new experiment this is the scientific attitude to our life this is the way of growth and of true success it is inconvenient because it involves working your brains and most people have not been taught to do this and find it the hardest kind of work there is but how much better it is to think for yourself and to protect yourself than to trust your thinking to some group of people whose only interest may be to exploit you for their advantage end of chapter 8 end of section 4	Priceless

anyway this puppy is just classic good rocks it really is a very classic good looks and you know if you're trying to get one on the poor your job is make it as appealing as possible and the last place it wants to be because the only place bad things happen is they so he's kind of laying by it but my hot dogs 3:00 in the morning but before I could get back I took Casper room before I could get back to start pouring down rain so I just said all the way yes I am saying well he already likes being by the platform if he doesn't like being but hey by the platform then me going over there isn't gonna make it more appealing so [Music] getting my hand away getting my hand away if you said how does that know the hand I'm realizing I'm doing my hands much more than other people are then you've got to run it it's like sign language [Music] anyway this puppy's available but it's you know he's gonna be big it's gonna have to be I know the right home is gonna come along oh this woman that can people this woman was actually the worst human being in my life so you know I'm saying to myself IV check and he's staying by the path I took a specific cuz I do all online people could have cameos by appearing in the video by virtue of the check so I wanted to deliver its hand he sees the bucket so he already sees what's going on there's action and then again it's it's all very if you said I'm gonna tell you what I get a chance to even hit the time so fast it needs to be so fast it needs to be alright here's the fake million dollar bill so why is this better he's playing with the hot dog he's there I turn the oven up I decided to cook him real fast and then I forgot so I just give it I just gave him selfies and white is overcooked back in the day when you used to write people paper checks just the real Cindy guy so I'm not thinking of myself I better to use the part that's a little not quite so overcooked [Music] so if you said your just happened to be going away no I'm always sort of ruling him out of my eye line if you said should you do that I mean people have got to get a read on it I know it is hard to do it and try to read the dog and do all these but that's what you got to do so since he was you know maybe proud to go over that way [Music] watching my every move though if he said some things are sort of incidental yes so if you said you like you so much rabbits see if you said what's he doing what's called chortling [Music] just never let it happen again god yes God never let it happen again you see how it activated him real fast you know I mean a lot of the key is just giving between you and getting down is everything else that's hot keeping the dog engaged can't you can't make it come over there and then try to get it to do things do a little check the

Sxf48xUGTis	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sxf48xUGTis	Truth in the Telling: Comics Memoir	Every year or two, it seems like there's a big scandal where a memoir becomes a big hit and only later we discover that parts of it have been exaggerated or, worse, totally faked. People feel betrayed, the author is tarred and feathered because a biography is supposed to be about truth. Memoir and autobiography is one of the most common narrative genres in comics today, but can artists really draw their own truth? I'm Andrea Gilroy and this is Comics Crash Course. In the next two videos, I'll be looking at popular genres in comics. While this series has been about formal theory over all, these next two videos focus on narrative theory--that is how certain kinds of narratives work. As is often the case, form and narrative feed into each other--so graphic memoirs use the formal nature of comics to complicate the nature of autobiographical storytelling. Which is the point of today's video. I'm going to talk about a few of the ways comics form effects truth-telling in graphic memoir today. And just FYI I'm gonna use the terms "autobiography" and "memoir" somewhat interchangeably in this video. That's not entirely kosher for folks who study the genre more closely, but I think you'll see why comics maybe makes me feel a little more comfortable with the slippage as we go on. So: truth. [YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH] Truth and autobiography is a little bit tricky because you're talking about somebody's life and their experiences. But we know that memory is fallible and experience is subjective, so the whole concept of truth in autobiography is kind of...fuzzy. But, when you say that, you run the risk of sounding like you don't believe an author's experience, or that there's no difference between authors who outright lie to take advantage of an audience and authors who are working through the difficulty of representing reality and history and experience...and that's not what I'm trying to say. In a famous essay, critic Merle Brown distinguishes between stories that are FICTIVE and FICTICIOUS. Now his essay focused on fiction, but he wanted to get it why some stories have a sense of "truthfulness" about them something that gestures towards reality, and you can imagine my folks who study autobiography find this essay pretty important. So in his chapter on autobiographical comics in his book ALTERNATIVE COMICS, Charles Hatfield sums up the difference in Brown's essay quite succinctly, so I will quote him rather than try to put it in my own words: Now, transparency is normally something that we think of as pretty good thing. But when it comes to the complicated nature of truth construction in memoir and autobiographym it's a little more complicated. Here "transparency" means something that just appears to be true with nothing to hide. And as I've been trying to say, it's more complicated than that when it comes to memory and experience. So the form of comics makes it even more complicated. Because a comic artist has to draw themselves. And that means the visual representation gets thrown into the blender alongside all the things that I've already mentioned: truth, history experience, memory. Remember the big triangle? The point of it was that visual representations are created in response to several possible goals: to represent an objective reality; to signify concepts and ideas; to visualize formal elements themselves. You can check out the video on the big triangle for more details. So when it comes time for an artist to choose how to represent themselves visually, what aspects of themselves are they trying to portray? Are they trying to portray concepts and ideas of themselves--emotional realities? Are they trying to play with elements of form? Or are they trying to make something that looks like themselves? What is the most "truthful" representation? Take for instance one of the most famous graphic memoirs of all time--at least in English--MAUS. So MAUS made it to the top of the New York Times bestseller list, but it was put in the fiction section. And Spiegelman was outraged, saying," I shudder to think how David Duke would respond to seeing a carefully researched work based closely on my father's memories of life in Hitler's Europe and in death camps classified as fiction." It's hard to blame him. One of the Times editors responded, "Well, let's go out to Spiegelman's house and see if a giant mouse answers the door. We'll move it to the nonfiction side of the list then." Now, eventually The Times did move MAUS to the nonfiction list. But cartooning and drawing has to make us think about the nature of truth, of fact, in a different way than say, photography. In Spiegelman's case, it made readers consider ethnicity and national identity, it made us think about the historical trajectory of comics from funny animal newspaper strips to the underground comix movement Spiegelman was coming out of. It made us think about all the symbolic connotations of mice. It also made us think about why Spiegelman chose to use animals instead of to draw people that looked like him. These added emotional, formal, and narrative complexity to MAUS as well as representing aspects of the truth of Art and Vladek's experience, despite being obviously not true--they weren't mice. To return to some of the concepts that Merle Brown uses, MAUS is a text that understands its own making. The text frequently shows scenes of Artie taping his conversations with Vladek or his digressions in which Art discusses what it means to write this memoir. So while, yes, Spiegelman isn't literally a mouse-- that part is fictional--by highlighting his own hand in the process of making his memoir; his own biases, and thoughts, and feelings, and actions-- the mouse drawing as part of that-- Spiegelman's memoir is in some ways MORE truthful than someone who tries to present a version of their history and experience that is "transparently" true without complication. A fascinating thing about this act of creating a self-image is how integral a role the artist/author themselves plays in the act. They're literally drawing themselves as they see themselves and/or...and never has a / been so loaded...how they think others see them. Hatfield, who I mentioned earlier, writes the cartoon self works both from the inside out and the outside in. The artist has complete control over how they are seen he can exaggerate that image to whatever extent and toward whatever purpose they see fit. He writes: when it comes to this cartoon self. At the same time, cartooning doesn't come from nowhere. As Hatfield writes, "Cartooning does the work from the outside in using culturally significant stereotypes to convey impressions of people that are seemingly spontaneous, yet deeply coded." Thus, the most basic aspects of comics memoir and autobiography--drawing yourself-- puts the complex nature of the self in autobiography in the spotlight. Hatfield also points to another formal feature of comics, repetition and succession, as a fruitful way of understanding how we understand the past and the self. You see in comics there literally isn't a single unitary self. There are many individual selves represented on the page across many panels. This literalizes the way that we shift and change over time, the way that little flashes of memory come together to form a story. Unlike film, in which everything appears seamless and cohesive, the comics page makes you work to put together the fragments. This more accurately represents the way that memory works, and it's especially true of traumatic memory which not only frequently is experienced as a kind of fragmentary memory, but is often experienced through painful repetitions. Thus, the panels of the page act as a visualization of repeated fragments of traumatic memory. This is an idea explored further in the works of Mary Ann Hirsch and Hillary Chute. You should check out their work. So this has been another heady episode, but I think--and I hope--a valuable one. Graphic memoirs are one of the most popular forms of comic, especially when it comes to comics used in the classroom. We've moved through this pretty quickly, but there's a lot of great scholarship if you'd like to know more. Add your favorite book or article in the comments below.

like little things and ants and what was it um it was about how a pinfish the dorsal fin spine uh hit his eye and a lot he lost most of his sight in that eye right so he developed very fine sight in his other eye and that's what in why he ended up studying little things so he was the like the world's leading expert on ants and he wrote a book a textbook on ants it's about this thick that is the only scientific text to win a Pulitzer Prize so he's in a not only an incredible scientist but a wonderful writer so if you if you're interested in learning more about E.O Wilson he wrote A Memoir called naturalist which is just a glorious glorious book but one of the main so in addition to being the world's leading expert on ants he was one of the first scientists to recognize the importance of biodiversity to life on Earth and he did a very some very famous experiments that led to What's called the theory of Island biogeography and let me just explain that a bit so off the Florida Keys he actually covered several small islands and then fumigated the islands and really basically killed all the living creatures on those islands and then he studied the repopulation of those islands over time and he what he discovered was that the islands where there was the fastest return of species and the highest number of species were the larger islands and those islands that were close to shore you know so this to the source of the uh of the animals that kind of move move back and that Discovery um is just a fundamental insight into conservation and we've all heard about the importance of preserving large intact forests right the importance of having corridors for wildlife to be able to move you know from forest block to Forest block well his Island biogeography work is the science behind that those discoveries so he really was one of the kind of creators of the kind of conservation movement because he realized that life on Earth was dependent on these large wild areas that are connected you know so Wildlife can can move um and he was also one of the earliest thinkers to call our attention to what Humanity was doing to Nature and and I'm going to read a chapter from you know a section from the chapter that Maddie and I wrote that's that's about that um okay so Wilson attributed his debut as an activist to a question posed to him and six other Harvard University professors in 1980. by the editors of Harvard magazine what do you believe will be the most important problem facing the world in the coming decade poverty was the most frequent response other nominations included the nuclear threat and the welfare state in the United States Wilson went in another Direction the worst thing that can happen will happen is not energy depletion economic collapse limited nuclear war or the conquest by a totalitarian government as terribly as terrible as these catastrophes would be for us they can be repaired within a few Generations the one process ongoing in the 1980s that will take millions of years to correct is the loss of genetics and species diversity by the destruction of natural habitats this is a Folly our descendants are least likely to forgive us in 1980 talking about the decline of Nature and the loss of loss of biodiversity so his his work was really the inspiration behind this book because we wanted to raise awareness of the catastrophe that we humans are causing and we wanted to um also pair that with a hopeful story there are things we can do to help nature restore itself so that became the motivation behind this book and the title our better nature so the book is is written mostly by vermonters about vermonters and the one of who's been to American Flatbread in Waitsfield well the owner of American Flatbread his name is George shank he's an avid conservationist and he wrote the forward to the book so I wanted to read a little bit from George's forward and it really it really highlights how prescient EO Wilson was right so Going Back 1980 he was calling about this crisis so George writes nature is in trouble almost everywhere biologists have looked they have found the biosphere and decline the numbers are staggering between 1970 and 2016 populations of mammals birds reptiles amphibians and fish decline by an average 68 percent the last 50 years North America has lost 3 billion songbirds 90 percent of the world's marine fisheries that for Millennia have been an important source of nutritious and delicious food for the family for the Human family haven't been either overfished or fully exploited and a broad range of insect species has declined by 40 percent forests so essential for wildlife habitat and the regulation of the atmosphere have been and continued to be cut burned and fragmented to the detriment of the Native species that depend on them and 98 of the Native vegetation in North America's largest biome the Prairie have been overturned by modern agriculture that has replaced a complex self-regenerative grassland ecosystem with a monoculture cropping dependent on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides so you know that continues this really depressing depressing story so in the book there are a series of essays about that about the connection between climate change and biodiversity loss about carbon capture in forests about conservation science in Vermont and then we paired those essays with stories about what people are already doing in Vermont to help nature recover and restore and it turns out that one of the stories is from Montpelier so anybody know Charlie hone peel your resident well here's a here's a picture of Charlie kind of looking out over his yard and the caption on that on that story says this was lawn eight years ago this whole thing when I first was first mowing it was like oh it's a pain to mow this it's too wet and then I was like well why am I mowing a wetland this is absurd [Music] and Charlie is a wetland ecologist by the way so he said so it's the chapter about Charlie says that Charlie knew that even small seeps are important for biodiversity and water quality so he decided to stop mowing when we bought the land the spring was this little thing flowing into the ditch on my neighbor's property and I started planting some native plants down down here on the side because it was kind of wet later one winter when the ground heaved with all the freezing and thawing the water found an animal burrow and shifted onto Charlie's land I know it's not like the water is literally saying oh I'm going to visit that thing Charlie built but it almost feels like the Wetland is sucking the hydrology and sucking in the components that belong there Charlie's soggy lawn has turned you into a functioning ecosystem that now helps filter and retain storm water and provides a home to new plants and animals I'll get rid of the invasive plants if I can and then in the Wetland I'll plant native plants if I can get them said Charlie explaining how he takes care of his yard other native plants have moved in on their own followed by insects and amphibians I'm just trying to heal something in a very small sense with this land positively influence at least something small speaking of three-year-old daughter Holly Charlie said my other passion now is to get is that I get to show Holly all this stuff I grew up in a concrete Wasteland where we didn't have nature and wetlands like this so here's someone in Waitsfield created in Waitsfield in Montpelier creating a healthy vibrant little ecosystem you know for for all the other things that live here in Waitsfield and I live in Waitsfield you can tell so another little um little story is is about George shank if you've been to flatbread you know you can visit his little farm right next to it and you go back in there and he's got all these signs up about what he's trying to accomplish in his farm and he's kind of set it up as a little kind of education center for for people so George shank is the owner of LaRue farm and founder of American Flatbread around the Hearth George's goal is to create delicious food but on the farm his goal is to create habitat for wildlife I've started to see all the different lives around me as my partners in this journey said George and as a partner with them I have both the responsibility and the opportunity to choose to be constructive to the lives of others or to be hurtful to the lives of others a case in point is a little Brook that runs under a fallen tree and into a restored Wetland back behind the garden George explained the scene saying a lot of creating biodiversity is about creating diversity in the habitat creating the opportunities for life for decades and Decades of a tree like that fell on this land it would be removed and that's not wrong from the Farm's point of view but it is not good from the wildlife's point of view and so what we're trying to do here is to say well where's the balance what can I do that would be responsible to the agricultural interests of the farm and its food production values also responsible to Wildlife and sure enough under the fallen tree was an animal track you see it in the monk the muck it was made by the front paw of a raccoon and the prince of the hind feet were found just a few inches away back in the gardens George has created structures for wildlife to use like extra tall fence posts and brush piles the fence fence posts are constantly used by birds but just a few hundred yards away in the hay field where the landscape doesn't have the same three-dimensional structure there's less Bird activity so those are just a few examples of what George shank is doing on his his tiny little little farm um I I'd be interested in hearing from some of you about what ideas you may have done you know on your land or ideas you have for what people can do to protect you know wildlife and create really nice habitats for them anybody got yeah I I have two acres two acres I also have Wetland which was not meant to be but it's pretty soggy most of the time so I'd actually be curious to know what I I mean there's still light them on um but I don't know what to plant there we have all these other plants that the birds and mice like the name of the dogs like but I'd love to know what kind of plants are in the Wetland besides turtle head yeah yeah um there may be well there's a there's a great book called Nature's Best hope it was written by an author and a scientist by the name of Doug talamay and um it's it's I think I brought it with me here yeah it's it probably isn't a library it's at the bookstore locally as is this book um but he he with his students created a um a website called native plant finder so you can plug in your ZIP code and it'll bring up the native plants that will do well you know where you live and that will attract insects and butterflies and caterpillars you know which are the the kind of foundation for a local healthy habitat and and for the birds um and then you can and then certain of those plants and shrubs you know will be appropriate for Wetlands so what Charlie hone was doing he would plant some native species in his you know former former lawn now Wetland and he would also what else would he do what would he removed invasive species right so invasive species are those that are not from here and nothing depends on them you know they're generally were brought in here for ornamental purposes because insects didn't eat them right and if you've got no insects you've got no Birds you know so removing invasive species is another important thing to do in preserving healthy habitat you know of course the big invasive species around here is Japanese knotweed see all along the rivers Bishop's weed right right Buckthorn right yeah as someone who grew up in Whitefield and reads the Valley Reporter I know that they did a huge thing of trying to get some of that Japanese knot be taken out uh that I thought that was wonderful but I still but I'd go out 100b I still see all this Japanese knotweed all over the place and having grown up on a 340 Acre Farm I've seen the destruction of what used to be a really wonderful right place and read the article about how ticks would not be here if it were not for the fact that we got rid of the little little animals that used to eat the chicks and now they go up on the deer so I really glad that you live in Waitsfield [Laughter] what other ideas do people have about taking action you're a Bisbee okay [Laughter] my neighbors were kind enough or frightening up or something to say to me oh you're gonna have more ticks and it's a dangerous thing not to worry a lot it didn't face anything I made a sign it's a Nature's choice so people will know it's intentional and one of my name is a younger woman has her own place and she stopped them election [Applause] s so there's that fear of what your neighbors might think right well I I grew up in New Jersey and there are people love their lawns in New Jersey and and and Maddie used to visit me we lived in an old farmhouse but it had like an acre of lawn you know with big old trees and it was it was beautiful and I thought that was what things were supposed to look like you know this this our aesthetic you know developed over years the lawn kind of came from England and when we moved up to Vermont um I was wondering and my son built us a new house and we were wondering well what should we do it was a couple acres and I said my wife why don't we just leave leave it and just put a small lawn right around the house where we kind of walk and see what happens and my wife said well what do you think the neighbors are going to say and I said well it'll maybe I don't know what they'll say but it could be a basis for conversation [Music] is the life that was there instead of the lawn the ecologists call Lawns deserts nothing lives in a lawn basically our Meadow is just full of birds and insects and you know bears go through it you know and and it's alive and I just feel enriched by seeing that and by being part of it so in many ways I think by restoring nature we are kind of restoring ourselves so I I feel like by doing a little part for Nature Nature has given back to me many many fold um so and when in Waitsfield I I'm on the Conservation Commission there and when I pointed we pointed out that invasive species are the second leading cause of species loss after habitat destruction that really energized the community so we have 20 volunteers working on knotweed all over town we we got invasive species fund established we hired five interns from UVM who worked all summer on kind of not weed management and and and control and so I was so encouraged by that because there's a growing awareness that you know business as usual is not cutting it for uh for nature so I think one action we can think about is like organizing right right and like your story and providing an example that other people can see right and sometimes that takes some courage to do it so other people and for me it helps me think in my in terms of my front yard I could go over that concept of people know it yeah Matt did you want to try to explain that half Earth Microsoft no okay I'll do it so um EO Wilson decided he learned he needed to learn some math he's a biologist he needed to learn some math to help with his conservation work and he worked with mathematicians and he did some modeling and calculations that demonstrated that to preserve 85 percent of the existing species on Earth and to Halt the decline and loss of biodiversity which now is happening at a rate that's a thousand times greater than the natural rate half the Earth has to be set aside for nature half the land and half you know half the water and so that you know that was the you know that was the what led to the title you know half Earth um that's led to some International and National Conservation organizations uh calling for that level of conservation and you may have heard the movement 30 by 30 means conserve 30 percent you know of the planet by 2030. and that's actively being pursued by the Biden Administration and many states it's been considered by the legislature here um but that doesn't just that doesn't mean having 30 or 50 percent of the land like in these forever conserved areas it means like in total we need to provide good habitat for nature so good habitat can be in your yard can being a turn Town Park can be in a farm you know that is managed and run in a certain way but collectively that's kind of the the the magnitude of the challenge and what nature the space that nature needs to restore itself so in the book we've coined the term not only half or half Earth but half yard half Town half valley half Farm to get everybody to think about what can they do on the land that they may be connected with I belong to an organization called population they're really big problem is the is the population of our Earth and the fact that there are just too many people you see babies dying and all the people and the immigrants coming to this country what can we do to to stop that that is why we don't have any biodiversity one of the big reasons behind all this that is the population certainly and the the agricultural land that is required to feed to feed so many people some people say agriculture is a conventional agriculture is is you know the largest contributor to biodiversity loss you see what's happening in the Amazon the other conversion of the forest to the soybean fields and cattle grazing territory as an example but what are what are what other ideas do people have for things that can be done kind of locally here to protect biodiversity yeah in the back there well I really believe that what we do locally by strengthening our community [Music] our economics oh you do locally I'm really excited by the um my Verizon remediation of uh libertarian area so Lake Champlain has polluted we do have a lot of pollution in the state fungi are incredible so you can basically end up composting the fungi that take toxins out of soil doing something that otherwise Humanity has not been able to do before intentionally so that's one thing I think of and then of course transportation and home eating additions right I think you're that that points out that kind of climate change and biodiversity loss are like inextricably linked climate change is causing biodiversity loss healthy habitats that are failing contribute to climate change healthy habitats and forests help mitigate kind of climate change so it's one reason I think Wilson was such an advocate for attention to Nature is that there's a there's awareness you could say awareness of climate change is up here biodiversity is down here you know and it needs to be up here and considered as you know the two two most significant issues that you know humanity and this planet you know are are facing um so yes sir well I just wanted to make a comment I trying to tell people coal miners used to have a canary you've got to live mine so they knew lack of oxygen the death of various we're seeing the loss of species around this world tells us that's our canary our Canary is coughing our Canary is choking and we just keep on digging we haven't done yeah when you talk about the awareness is not there if we don't the one species that we should care about that we see all the time are reduced in that we need this to be the honey behind the various species of bees have disappearing and people keep sounding the alarm and we keep digging away we keep needed its carrying capacity through the heads and we need to admit that we need to make the politicians acknowledge they're not instead they want to hit us against each other and think of one of the face that they don't want to face up to anything if Greta thundberg has made the naked to make any kind of an impact how are we going to make I mean I don't know yeah well I guess my just Reflections on that is not an international figure I'm not a billionaire I'm a resident in a small state and it can feel hopeless in the face of these these challenges but I become more helpful hopeful by following the example of what people are already doing and then starting to do more myself you know so this book was an example of that working on my Conservation Commission in town you know looking at what I can do in my yard I've become more hopeful and I'm seeing other people join in this so I think the more of us that can start taking action and action can be of many forms you know it can be as basic as voting and encouraging you know support for really strong conservation kind of measures and it could be as simple as taking out some non-native species in your yard you know or planting good stuff you know for the bees so because I think we need we must we must remain hopeful we have to and I feel more hopeful now because of engaging in this work engaging in this work and and finding others that are and building relationships with them and um yes sir I get discouraged by the fact that our leadership essentially continues selection how many times have you heard this or anything talked about and all this analysis and um and fighting a desire for growth and so I think I think we need the local people to give examples but we do have to communicate this message to our leaders that I just don't see well so let's do more of it ourselves [Laughter] um one of the environmental groups that you think are well um I think in Vermont The Nature Conservancy is a leader on biodiversity across the globe the in the Northeast Wilderness Trust based here in Montpelier is seeking to preserve old grow you know preserve Forest land forever so that's the ultimate step that can be taken to restore nature the Vermont Natural Resources Council does really good policy work the Vermont Land Trust Shelburne Farms North Branch Nature Center um there's the Vermont Center for Eco studies and those organizations now are coming together to create what were I might be calling a Vermont biodiversity coalition to do more together to educate the public more to figure out what's needed and can be done in Vermont so it's just another example of another action that people and organizations can can take I want to ask Maddie if you don't mind Maddie whether um there's this kind of conversation happening at your school and whether any of your friends [Music] have talked about how they talked to a group full of grandparents um at my school there's a class about sustainability that everyone rotates through throughout the year that kind of focuses on like um kind of like food insecurities and also like diversity and stuff and yeah that's and there are other like groups like there's a group in my school called msms sustained leadership um and they they work on like um helping people who need help and other sustainability issues do your do your friends talk about nature much are they worried about it or [Music] um but if they do then they usually seem to know a lot of stuff when they do talk about it what are you planning on doing in your yard uh we mostly just let it grow out most of the time but I don't probably just remove and remove like non-native plants yeah yeah Maddie lives on Maddie lives on Liberty Street so her they're planning to plant more Natives and one big thing we people can do with Lawns is just reduce the size of the lawn and replace it with natives so that's what Maddie and her mom and dad are going to be working on here in Montpelier so so yes sir what kind of have to be a Shepherd Of Your Land excited and uh he had you still have a Woodlawn but we had a wood lock that after there was cutting done we prescribed a negative Millet for his uh for the Partridge because the partners but and I had some friends that were hunting on and they would bring their elderly Hunters to my land to walk around me and the Easy Pass and have a good chance of getting a partridge so piles of brush you know so for rabbits and who knows what crawled their own right but also being aware like walking up to parkapalooza and seeing that they're letting the milkweek bro and Sitel for a woman for the amount of butterflies so to point that out to Matthew the next time or well you know whoever but be a Shepherd would be a vegetarian right right I was surprised to learn I think it was from Reading Wilson's book about half Earth is that forests um manage forests where some standing dead trees are left and where woody debris is allowed to remain on the ground have 50 percent more biodiversity than the forest that is kind of cleaned um you know the the European kind of Park look for a forest um has 50 percent less biodiversity so A lot's going on in that dead stuff there's a lot of life right there so that's that's a great Point yeah Ann I'm thinking of how to get people working individually towards these wonderful goals I have two sons who are in conservation conditions one in Connecticut one in Massachusetts and instead of saying to somebody it will be better for biodiversity if you plant more trees they say well your view of the lake would be enhanced by having it frayed by trees that kind of thing and they want to be in control but if their control includes doing the right thing then it's even better or a row of Shrubbery that may be wonderful for birds and biodiversity the colors will turn beautiful in the fall in water control but maybe they're doing more than them right right right yeah okay yeah I heard yeah um 20 25 acres of Hayfield on my property and I have an agreement with my neighbors to mow the hay and fertilize as they need in the old days when the farmer up the road had an extended family that work on the hang and the old guys would come with their sides and cut everything right up to the stone walls and now of course with a tractor oh he's not interested in coming close to the stone holes and at first I thought you know how messy and now I appreciate you know that here there are these little stripped little natural strips for the birds and we do avoid the bubbling Nestle season in part of the Hayden field but I'm wondering if there's anything else I can do as Hayfield home yeah you know I don't know the answer to that but I'm sure I'm sure you could track down a little research that would have some suggestions but I think you know having native spaces like around it is is a really good one so there's someone over there has had her hand up a long time I think I'm curious I think and [Music] in this group and you and you were working together on a project yeah by the way Sean took most of the photographs in the book I mean he's an incredible naturalist and photographer um can you repeat the question we can't hear you oh she was asking um what what the organization I'm involved with is called the Vermont Alliance for half Earth and Sean I guess mentioned when he was here last week that the North Branch Nature Center and our Vermont Alliance were doing some things together um we've done several things one is we have organized what are called bio blitzes with schools in the area and you you probably folks in Montpelier know about bio blitzes you know so we organized during the pandemic the uh it was called the Spring backyard bio Blitz kind of across Vermont and with North Branch nature center created a Educators Institute for biodiversity which is for teachers so every summer teachers spend a week at North Branch learning about biodiversity and how they can integrate it into their curriculum at schools and I guess in addition to this book North Branch Nature Center is one of the organizations that is having these conversations joining the conversations about creating a biodiversity Coalition for for Vermont so you're very lucky to have North Branch Nature Center here it is a treasure right could you say something about your book for sale well I and the book group that you heard about that yeah we did a um an event similar to this a couple weeks ago and at the Richmond Public Library and of course you never know how many people are going to come to these events but there was a whole contingent there from Burlington and they had formed a book group you know and they were all reading our better nature together and so they all traveled to Richmond uh for that event so the Richmond Library also has obtained I think 10 or 13 copies of this book that they're willing to lend out to anybody who would be interested in sponsoring a book group so if that's of interest to anybody here you know those arrangements could be made Maddie and I brought some copies of the book it it sells for a 28.99 if anyone's interested in in a copy today we'd be happy to make that available to you for twenty dollars and if you don't have resources to pay for a book we have some free copies that we could give to you today so I have another question I mean my brother owns the 340 Acres it's down to West because he's sold off lots of things and everything but the sugar the maple sugar Orchard he's clean to get out now with these big tubes and everything and he it's all in the land use program as imagine how to avoid paying taxes on it but he wants to leave it to his children and I keep mentioning the land trust and all these different things and do the Foresters that are in business today do they know about all this because I don't think of them leaving trees down they're going to want to cut that and sell it for lumber yeah I think there are um quite a few forces who I know who are aware of progressive Forest management practices for nature not the one he uses all the time that could be that that could be that could be but there are Foresters who know what to do there are programs specifically aimed at improving habitat in sugaring forests Audubon has a program um the money thing you know if you grew up here foreign and that's something that people who move here from New Jersey I went to college at Rutgers but you know you know you don't understand that nativism that speaks of the forest as being something they're going to get money out of my grandfather was a loverman he had a lumber yard in my old Baltimore yardi in Waitsfield so I don't want to take up time but I just think I have a different attitude than maybe a lot of people that have moved here from somewhere else it could be could be so I think we're almost at the hour here I thought maybe I'd just read a couple more things from the book and and uh and kind of wrap things up for today so there's a a chapter a chapter in this book called um it's called a rewilding and it's written by Tom Butler who's a resident of Huntington and he's been involved in creating the Northeast Wilderness trust he's been involved in the massive efforts in South America to preserve conserve millions of Acres of former Ranch lands which have now been knitted together in national parks and Tom was involved in that and he basically says well I'm going to read you what he says with each breath with every heartbeat we live by Grace but while we live we organize our lives by stories we understand our place in the world by the tales we tell ourselves for as long as our species has employed figurative language some seventy thousand years ago we have been talking and listening listening and talking to transmit the wisdom the humor the codes of right and wrong conduct that collectively form human culture later on in his chapter what new story is big enough to help turn the tragedy of humanity and the diversity of life away from ecological Armageddon what story is inclusive and attractive enough to inspire millions or even billions of people to put themselves in it I vote for this one the story of rewilding of resurgent wildness enveloping the earth of expanding Beauty and diversity of wilderness recovery writ large of people from all backgrounds in any corner of the globe lending their energies towards helping nature heal at all scales to the benefit of all life could this be the dream that's big enough to capture the hearts and minds of millions that is both Timeless and Urgent enough to prompt bold action could it be the story generous enough to carry our love for specific places into the future in the form of interconnected ribbons of protected habitat wrapping the planet in Wild Beauty maybe just maybe it is so thank you for coming today and talking with Maddie and me [Applause] [Laughter] [Music]	ORCA Media	UCrM4z9DzdvD3bnA5E7tDtKQ	2022-12-01	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	6,648	35,412

something looking to invest your hard-earned cash well you're in the right place whether you're a seasoned investor or just getting started we have some tips and ideas for how to make your money work for you there's something for everyone on this list so grab your pin your paper notepad whatever you got and get ready to jot down some of these game changing ideas because remember the wealthy always say time is money and you don't want to spend all of your time making money you want to make your money make money for you and if you're in your 20s these ideas on this list is going to help you get a jump start ahead of all of your friends so enough talking let's go ahead and dive straight into this video Welcome Back dreamers now as I go on the ideas on this list is going to go from very safe to where you will make some money to very risky to where you could build wealth very quickly or lose it overnight alright so the first idea on this list is to start by building an emergency fund you never know when an unexpected expense is going to pop up a financial emergency might pop up you want to have this because if anything ever goes wrong you do not want to feel like you're not sure about where you're going to get your next meal from trust me I've been there guys you don't want to have to just take any job just to get back on your feet you don't have to take any pay even if you just hate it just to make some money so you want to aim to save for around three to six months of your living expenses and you want to put that in a high-yield savings account earning anywhere from around two to three percent per year that way if anything happens you have more than enough time to find your next best move that's why it's very important to have a savings account in fact I just did a video that majority of Americans do not even have a thousand dollars inside of their savings account so if you do that you're already ahead of the curve because if anything ever pops up you could be patient and find the next best move for you and not just any move that would just drive you insane okay our second option is one that I actually took when I was in my 20s and that is to invest in our diverse portfolio of stocks this could be a great way to expose to a wide range of companies and industries which can help you lower your risk you can open a brokerage account and buy individual stocks or invest in a low-cost index fund that tracks the performance of a broad market like the S P 500 I use Weeble now me personally if I was in my 20s I would not invest into just individual stocks especially if you're just starting off I would invest into ETFs like vo which tracks the top 500 companies in America all in one portfolio so just buying that one stock you have your game you have your money spread it throughout the top 500 companies in America or you can invest into QQQ which is more Tech heavy and have more tech companies inside of their portfolio if you want to build a great foundation around like 75 to 80 percent of these ETFs that cover the broad Market vo I'm going to put a screenshot of VO right here and QQQ these right here tops the track companies in America the top 500 companies and the top tech companies in America now after you have built a great Foundation you could now invest into individual stocks that take a little bit more risk I highly recommend to invest into stocks that you actually use don't go out there and buy penny stocks from companies that you've never heard of now me personally I use Weeble to buy these stocks you could sign up with weebo down below with the link down in the description if you sign up with Weeble deposit any amount you receive up to four free stocks if you deposit 100 you can receive up to 12 free stocks it's literally free money guys I'm gonna leave that link down in the description do not miss out on this free money opportunity so yeah back to the individual stocks you want to invest into stocks that you use let's say if I have an iPhone or if I have if I drink Coca-Cola every day I want to invest into apple or I want to invest into Coca-Cola companies that actually use I'm telling you is going to change the way that you invest inside the stock market just from investing to companies that you use and then you could take the other ten five percent and invest into your risky stocks you can invest into your penny companies just because you're so young you can invest these into your cryptos your ethereum your Bitcoin your penny stocks in that that way you could have a little fun inside the stock market because those could explode at any time and bypass your good foundation of ETS inside of your portfolio all right now on to option three investing in yourself this can heal you your highest returns your 20s are a great time to invest in your own personal and professional development consider using some of your money to take a course certification and they feel that interests you this could be a great way to improve your skill and increase your earning potential in the long run invest in the education that will increase your earning capacity there are many courses out there guys if you do not have a college degree or if you do have a college degree that you can sign up you could become a welder within a year you can actually invest that one thousand dollars to take a course and become a CDL driver now you're in your 20s I'm not saying that you're going to have your dream job let's say you want to become your CDL driver you want to take an online course you want to uh take the course from your favorite influencers or you just find a mentor inside of your own community and pay them to Mentor you you want to take this money to invest into your own knowledge because I promise you guys knowledge is key so let's just say you do invest into getting your own CDL you're not going to have your dream job in your 20s very few people do that so right now you are hustling and you will flip that one thousand dollars into over fifty thousand dollars in a couple of years in your savings and then you could take that and invest it into yourself or into your own business or to any other job that you actually like that you do not feel like it's a job to where you would go and work there every single day even if you wasn't getting paid for it but your 20s you're hustling in your 20s and you have to find a way to gain more knowledge invest into yourself invest into your future because the more you learn while you're young the more money you're gonna make in the end I promise you guys that is how it works out so with all of that being said we're gonna move over to the final one and finally don't be afraid to take some calculated risks your 20s are a time when you have the flexibility to take on more risk to consider exploring Investments that have the potential for a higher return but also come with a higher level of risk one way that has probably made the most millionaires within the last couple of years with this new generation will be invested into cryptocurrency that probably made the most millionaires in the last generation you can also invest it to cryptocurrency using Weeble but the way that I highly suggest is starting a side hustle any side hustle would do guys and since you're in your 20s and you're so young you have the freedom and opportunity to fail five to ten times before something hits because if you throw 10 ideas at the wall one might stick and that could be the one to help you prepare yourself to will so if you had a thousand dollars and you're really trying to find a way to make money investors the side hustle might be the best one but you could lose your money if you're just starting off if you have not been hustling your whole life or had any other side hustling businesses the first three might fail but I promise if you do it 10 times one of them is going to stick so one that you could do with a thousand dollars you could start a car washing businesses you could take a thousand dollars by all the tiles all the products everything you need you could just wash cars the money that you make from that you could reinvest that and buy mobile car washing business and then while you're in your 20s car washing might not have been your dream job but while you're in your 20s you're hustling that could be a side hustle that you do from starting washing cars in front of your house to having a mobile car business you can make over a hundred thousand dollars a year just for mobile car washing businesses um if you had a thousand dollars you could buy a very good a very good high quality pressure washer and you can print out tons of flyers for just fifty dollars and then you can pass those out throughout your neighborhood and you can pressure wash everybody driveway everybody house and you make a ton of money that way you can make your thousand dollars back that fast and the way that I did it I took a thousand dollars I bought me a phone and I started my YouTube channel I had a probably around six channels before this one finally stuck I had around six channels so I bought a good quality iPhone that had a amazing camera on it at the time and so I took my thousand dollars bought a camera bought a mic and bought some editing software and I started me a YouTube channel and as you guys can see that's the one that stuck and I actually love making videos for you guys so if you could go ahead and hit that subscribe button that would help out this channel more than you guys can even imagine so there's a ton of things that you guys could do I will leave a link right here on my top um side hustles that you guys could start with little to no money that could build you wealth within a couple of years so those are just a few things YouTube channel car washing business pressure washing business you could flip items on eBay with just a thousand dollars there's a ton of things that you guys can do with a thousand dollars you just gotta have the right mindset and the knowledge and the drive and the hustle to make money this year and if you clicked on this video at the beginning of the year I can't wait to see what you guys have done at the by the end of the year so I want you guys to go ahead and save this video Hit thumbs up button on this video and then come back at the end of the year

EGW Biography Part 2 – Sketch of Experience – 1855 to 1868 and Beyond	our dear father in Heaven Glory and Honor be unto the name thank you for the Sabbath blessings and thank you for giving us an opportunity to just rep pause and dwell upon spiritual things let this sabbath be a delight and as we continue learning father May our heart be filled with humidity and with the spirit of Grace the Lord we may know the times that that we are living in and that is what needed of us and uh help us to Foster brotherly love and kindness in Jesus name I pray amen a warm welcome to everyone and uh Happy Sabbath wherever you are tuned in this is Sami wilce and uh this is uh a series by gospel sound was looking into um the prophets and The Messengers and uh we are in number number 26 and we are looking at EG White biography part two sketch of experience the years 1855 to 1868 um in part one I was looking at uh the theme of The Great controversy how she was given uh this book and uh or how the Lord showed her in Visions various things and how she were able to compile materials that made up the great controversy um um and uh how different editions were given and why they were given right now I just want to look at um continuing to look at her biography and uh the years as I have mentioned 1855 to 1868 and I hope that um we will learn together and so these were the period that actually there was an atmosphere of um waiting for the Lord an atmosphere of waiting for the Lord and various things were happening and uh Haring amongst the pioneers of adventism they had to come across many things there oppositions that he had to face and messages that were to be delivered to the world which was in sin and obstinate but the Lord was able to give her strength you remember also that she was just a girl and um the inferior to all who were in The Movement but then the Lord had to use the weakest of all amongst them to bring out a message to his um people now uh I'll go talk about some few things in these periods having become fully satisfied that my husband will not recover from his protracted sickness while remaining inactive and that the time had fully come for me to go forth and Bear My Testimony to the people I decided contrary to the judgment and advice of the church at Battle Creek of which we were members at that time to venture a tour in northern Michigan with my husband in his extremely feeble condition in the severest called of wind it required no small degree of moral courage and faith in God to bring my mind to the decision to risk so much especially as I stood alone with the influence of the church including those at the head of the work at Battle Greek against me this is being recorded in testimonies to the church volume 1 page 570 paragraph 2 but uh I knew that uh I had a work to do and it seemed to me that Saturn was determined to keep me from it and remember the work that she had to do was uh to produce and comile the great controversy which was um the great controversy between Christ and his angels and Satan and his angels and um when she was at Jackson house she was nearly killed by Satan when she was just um starting the journey to uh compile this uh the manuscripts for this book at a certain time there were a lot of EX excuses why the book will not be uh circulated and for some years it lied on the Shelf of the review being not published because there was an excuse that it was not cable and so she had um a sour relationship with the Battle Creek Powers she had a hard time with these people and that is why you see her narrating the story The Way She is narrating that um um there was forces influences of the church including the th those at the head of the work at B Creek against her and so but I knew that I had a work to do and it seemed to me that Satan was determined to keep me from doing it that is the writing of the great controversy I had waited long for our captivity to be turned and feared that precious Souls will be lost if I remain longer from the work if you he in the background I'm talking about her work of writing the great controversy and how Satan hindered it so much and um the the experiences she had when she was trying to compile this book so Satan determined to keep me from doing it I had waited long for our captivity to be turned and feared that precious Souls will be lost if I remain longer from the work to remain longer from the field seemed to me worse than death and should we move out we could but perish so on the 19th of December 1866 we left Battle Creek in a snow stor for right OTA County Michigan my husband stood the long and severe Journey of 90 miles much better than I feared and seemed quite as well when reach we reached our old home at brother Roots as when we left Battle Creek we were kindly received by this dear family and as tenderly cared for as Christian parents can care for invalid children 1 57.3 uh we found this church in a very low condition with a large portion of it members the seeds of disunion and dissatisfaction with one another were taking deep root and a worldly Spirit was taking possession of them and not withstanding their lowest low State they had enjoyed the labors of our preachers so seldom so seldom that they were hungry for spiritual food here commended our first effective effective labor SE the sickness of my husband here he he commen to labor as in former years though in much weakness he will speak 30 or 40 minutes in the for noon of both Sabbath and first day and I will fill up the rest of the time and then speak about an hour and a half in the afternoon of each day we were listen to with the greatest attention I saw that my husband was growing stronger clearer and more connected in his subjects and when uh on one occasion he spoke one hour with clearness and power with the burden of the work upon him as when he used to speak my feelings of gratitude were Beyond expression I arose in the congregation and P half an hour tried with weeping to give utterance to them the congregation felt deeply I felt assured that this was the dawn of better days for us we remained with the with this people six weeks I spoke to them 25 times and my husband 12 times as our labor labors with this church progressed individual cases began to open before me and I commen to write out testimonies for them amounting in all to 100 Pages then commend the labor for these persons as they came to brother Roots where we were stopping and with some of them at their homes but more especially in meetings at the house of worship in this kind of lab I found that my husband was a great help his long experience in this kind of work as he had labored with me in the past had qualified him for it and now that he entered upon it again he seemed to manifest all the clearness of thought good judgment and faithfulness in dealing with the heiring of former days in fact no other two of our ministers would have entered could have rendered me the assistant that uh he did that is um James White did to the wife Ellen White a great and good work was done for this dear people wrongs were freely and fully confessed Union was restored and the blessing of God rested down upon the work my husband Le to bring up the systematic benevolence of the church to the figures which should be adopted in all our churches and his efforts resulted in raising the amount to be paid into the treasury annually by that church about $300 those in the church who had been in trial about some of my testimonies especially respecting the dress question became fully settled on hearing the matter explained the health and the dress reform were adopted and a large amount was raised for Health Institute here I think it's my duty to state that as this work was in progress unfortunately a wealthy brother from the state of New York visited right after calling at Battle Creek and there learning that we had had started our we had started out contrary to the opinion and advice of the church and those standing at the head of the work at Battle Creek he chose to represent my husband even before those for whom he had the greatest labor as being partially insane and his testimony consequently as of no waight his influence in this matter as stated to me by Brother root the ELD of the church set the work back at least two weeks I State this that unconsecrated persons May beware how they in their blind and feeling State cast an influence in an hour which they may take the warn Servants of the Lord weeks to counteract we were laboring for persons of wealth and Satan saw that this wealthy brother was just the man for him to use may the Lord bring him where he can see and in humility of Mind confess is wrong by two weeks more of the most wearing labor with the blessing of God we were able to remove this wrong influence and give that dear people full proof that God has sent us to them as a further result of our labor seven were soon after baptized by brother wagona and two in July by my husband at the time of our second visit to that church the brother from New York returned with his wife and daughter to Battle Creek not in a state of mind to give a correct report of the good work at right or to help the feelings of the church at Battle Creek as facts have since come to light it appears that um he injured the church and the church injured him in their Mutual enjoyment from house to house in taking the most unfavorable views of our course and making it the theme of conversation about the time about the time this cruel work was going on I had the following dream and now I want us to look at this dream very carefully because we talking about um the sketch and experience of EG white while she was working on the book great controversy and how Satan was determined to defame her defame the husband and bring to disrepute the work that the Lord wanted to be accomplished because the Lord had just entered into the most holy place and the work of the church was to prepare people to stand true to him during investigative judgment and then be prepared to live in a holy uh in the presence of a holy God without a high priest but not without a Defender and a protector and so probation was soon closing or probation was still lingering and the church was in a state which was not ready to be translated and so she had this dream while the M the while the the situation was in a such well while the churches were in such a condition and Satan was working um around the clock to make an effect of the messages she dreamed I was visiting Battle Creek in campan with a person of a commanding Manner and dignified deportment uh in my dream I was passing around to the houses of a Brethren as we were about to enter we heard voices engaged in Earnest conversation the name of my husband was frequently mentioned and I was grieved and astonished to hear those who had professed to be our Fest friends relating scenes and incidents which had occur during the severe Affliction of my husband when his mental and physical Powers were pal paly to a great degree I was grieved to hear the voice of the professed brother from New York before mentioned relating in Hest Manner and in an exaggerated light incidence of which those at Battle Creek was ignorant while our friends in Battle Creek in their turn related that which they knew I became Fain and sick at heart and in my dream came near falling when the hand of my attendant supported me and he said you must listen you must know this even if it is hard to Bear after the several houses we approached the same subject was the theme of conversation it was their present truth said I oh I did not know this I was ignorant that such a feelings existed in the hearts of Those whom we have regarded as our friends in prosperity and our first friends in suffering Affliction and adversity will I have will I had never known this we have will I have will I had never known this we have having accounted this our very best and truest friends the person with me repeated these words if they will only engage as readily and with as much honest hestness and Zeal in conversation about their redeemer dwelling upon this marless his marless charms his disinterested benevolence and his merciful forgiveness his fitful tenderness to the suffering his forbearing and inexpressible love how much more precious and valuable will be the fruits I then said I am grieved my husband has not spared himself to save Soul he stood under the burdens that they crushed him he was prostrated broken physically and mentally and now to gather up words and acts and use them to destroy his influence after God had put has put his hand under him to raise him up that his Voice May again be heard is cruel and wicked said the person who accompanied me the conversation where Christ and the characteristics of his life are the thems dwelt upon will refresh the spirit and the fruits will be unto Holiness and everlasting life he then quoted these words whatsoever things are true whatsoever things are honest whatsoever things are just whatever things are pure whatever things are lovely whatever things are of good report if there be any virtue and if there be any praise thing on these things these words so impressed me that I spoke upon them the next Sabbath and so uh it is just interesting when you read these things that um the people who should be turning to be friends are the people who are becoming actually the enemies and the people whom the whites had labored and enjoyed season of refreshing we were the same people who were backbiting her and the husband and uh there is really nothing new Under the Sun there is really nothing new Under the Sun what has been is what shall be and God uh require of U uh the past and uh this is the Behavior Uh that uh many find uh many people find themselves in uh the work of many is uh to bring people into disrepute and uh I want to relate another incident where actually this uh animosity uh that was manifested to the whites continued till 1880s when just about um uh James White was having a very difficult time and in one year's time he will uh really die this really was a trying time to this family and um I just want to relate something from uh uh let let manuscript 2880 mant manuscript 21880 in U letters and manuscript volume 3 now the animosity we are looking at the EG White biography and uh right now we are looking at um the sketch of experience and what she went through when she was um compiling the great controversy the the the the the difficulties that she faced and um the backbiting that she received not only from the people outside the demon nomination but also the people from demon nomination and this did not end but it continued until her death and until the death of James White and even until her death but um uh I just want us to read even as James White was being sick and uh uh he was like um nearing his end instead of receiving sympathies there was something happening in the background that U really was um discouraging and this is um from um letter manuscript 2 1880 and it is in letters and manuscript volume 3 now this is uh what we read about this animosity I had a dream I saw Dr Kellogg in close conversation with men and with ministers he adroitly will make statements born of Suspicion and Imagination to draw them out and then will gain expression from them while I saw him clap his hands over something very eagerly I felt a pun of Anguish at heart as I saw this going on I saw in my dream yourself and Elder g i Butler in conversation with him you made statements to him which he seemed to grasp with a avidity and close his hand over something in it I then saw him go to his room and there upon the floor was a pile of stone systematically laid up Stone after Stone a por Stone he placed the additional stones on the pile and counted them up every stone had a name some report gathered up and every stone was numbered this is relating the conversation that Dr Kellog is having with some men and with ministers and how James White is responding to these things and this is a dream the young man who often instruct me came and looked upon the pile of stones with grief and indignation and inquired what he had and what he purposed to do with them the doctor looked up with a sharp gratified laugh these are mistakes of Elder White I am going to Stone him with them Stone him to death the young man said you are bringing back the stoning system are you you are worse than the ancient Pharisees who gave you this work to do the Lord raised you up the Lord entrusted you with a special work the Lord has sustained you in a most remarkable manner but it was not for you to degrade your powers for this kind of work certain is accuser of the Brethren I thought the doctor seemed very defant and Det determin said he Elder White is trying to tear us to Pieces he is working against us and to save our repetition in life we must work against him I shall use every stone to the last bble here upon this floor to kill him this is only selfdefense a dis a disagreeable necessity and then said the young man solemly what have you gained have you in the ACT wred your wrongs have you opened your heart to Jesus Christ and does he sit there and Throne who occupies the Citadel of the Soul under this administration of the stoning system you have a higher calling a more important work leave all such a work of gathering stones for the enemies of God's law you Brethren must love one another or you are not children of the day but of Darkness I I then saw my husband engaged in a similar work Gathering Stones making a pile and ready to begin the stoning system similar words were repeated to him with additional injunctions and I awoke up now these things are to bring sadness in our hearts that the Brethren who were working so closely together are the same Brethren who wanted to Stone each other may this lead us to examine our hearts for we can show facial love to each other but what is in our hearts really it is um uh it is recorded before God that it is nothing else but a stoning system against each other and so here is Kellog and I'm bringing in the case of Kellog because I'll be speaking about him later on how this Spirit against the whites even went on for him capturing the sanitarium and writing on his name and saying that it was not denominational and how the sanitarian burned down and his views on pantheism or pantheism and how he drifted away from the denomination it was not because because of anything but uh this hatred he uh really had um postered and nurtured in his heart against the whites and how he did not want anything to do with them and so um these are the experiences that I White had to pass through here she is a little girl she is surrounded with the people who she thought that they loved her but they didn't hate her much and here she had a sick husb hband but no one was caring about it and the work was left unto her alone and she had to write a book against the enemy the AR enemy of Jesus Christ you will see what was the weight that was on the shoulder of this woman who didn't have even a lot of experience in religious matters but had been chosen to be a messenger amongst the people who are living at such a time and so my labors she continues in right were very wearing I had much care of my husband by day and sometimes in the night I gave him BS and took him out to ride and twice a day cold stormy or Pleasant walked out with him I used the pain while he dictated his reports for the review and also wrote many letters in addition to the many pages of personal testimonies and most of number 11 besides visiting and speaking as often and as long and honestly as I did brother and sister root fully sympathized with me in my trials and labors and watched with the tenderest care to supply all our wants our prayers were frequent that the Lord will bless them in Basket in in store in health as well as in Grace and spiritual strength and I faar that a special blessing will follow them though sickness has since come into their dwelling yet I learn by Brother root that they now enjoy Better Health than before and now among the items of temporal Prosperity he reports that his wheat Fields have produced 27 bushels to the acre and some 40 while the average yield of his neighbor field has been only seven bushels per uh per per per e uh continued on in uh January 29 1867 when we left right and Rod to Green Greenville Mont calm County at distance of 40 miles it was the most severely cold day of the winter and we were glad to find a shelter from the cold and storm at brother Maynards this dear family welcomed us to their hearts and to their home we remain in this vicinity six weeks laboring with the churches of Greenfield and orans and making brother Minard's postable home our headquarters the lord gave me freedom in speaking to the people in every effort made I realize his sustaining power and as I became fully convinced that I had a testimony for the people which I could bear to them in connection with the labors of my husband my faith was strengthened that he will yet be raised to help labor with Acceptance in the course and work of God his labors were received by the people and he was a great help to me in the work without him I could accomplish but little but with his help in the strength of God I could do the work assigned me the Lord sustained him in every effort which he put forth as he ventured trusting in God regardless of his feebleness he gained in strength and improved with every effort as I realized that my husband was regaining physical and mental Vigor my gratitude was unbounded in view of the prospect that I should gain again be unaected unfettered to engage a new and more honestly in the work of God standing by the side of my husband we laboring unitedly in the closing work for God's people previous to his being stricken down the position he occupied in the office confined him there the greater part of the time and as I could not travel without him I was necessarily kept at home much of the time I felt that God will now Prosper him while he labored in word and Doctrine and devoted himself more especially to the work of preaching others could do the labor in the office um others could do the labor in the office and we were settled in our conviction that he will never again be confined but be free to travel with me that we both might bear the solemn testimony which God had given us for his Remnant people I sensibly felt the L state of God's people and every day I was aware that I had gone to the extent of my strength while in right we had send my manuscript for number 11 to the office of publication and I was improving almost every moment went out of meeting in writing out matter for number 12 my energies both physical and mental had been severely taxed while laboring for the church in right I F that um I should have rest but will see no opportunity for Relief I was speaking to the people several times a week and writing many pages of personal testimonies the burden of souls was upon me and the responsibilities I felt were so great that I could obtain but a few hours of sleep each day while thus laboring in speaking and writing I received letters of a discouraging character from Battle cre as I read them I felt an inexpressible depression of spirits aming to agon of mind which seemed for a short period to py my vital Energies for three nights I scarcely slept at all my thoughts were troubled and perplexed I concealed my feeling as well as I could from my husband and the sympathizing family with whom we were none knew my labor or burden of Mind as I United with the family in morning and evening devotion and so to lay my burden upon the great burden Bearer but my petition came from a heart rang with anguish and my prayers were broken and disconnected because of uncontrollable grip the blood rushed to my brain frequently causing me to reel and nearly fall I heard the nose bed often especially after making an effort to write I was compelled to lay aside my writing but could not throw off the burden of anxiety and responsibility upon me as I realized that I had testimonies for others which I was unable to present to them I received still another letter informing me that it was thought best to defer the publication of number 11 until I could write out that which I had been shown in regard to the Health Institute as those in charge of that Enterprise stood in a great w of means and needed the influence of my testimony to move the Brethren now you know there are some things that uh AR my mind that uh and ache my heart it is like uh the prophet was used when people needed her for the Advantage but misused when they were not in need of her and this has been the case with many you remember the children of Israel when they were running to migdol in Egypt and they needed the help of Jeremiah you have to remember that they had said what the Lord has said they will not do it back in Jeremiah I think chapter chapter 3: 16 or chapter 6 verse1 16 and um when they were running to migdol they said go inquire um to the Lord about our Affairs they were like what we say using the spirit instead of the spirit using them because we know that the spirit guiding the prophets is the spirit of God and so they could use the prophet as um a remote switch when they wanted to and when they don't want her or didn't want the prophets this is how they treated her and so she is writing a very important matter on number 11 but then she's told that you have to stop writing that and write something on the Health Institute which will be of influence because we are in need of money it's like these people will use the prophet as a means of getting money rather than as a means of developing a relationship with God and so these are the trials and the experiences that this woman was having as a wife as a mother and as a messenger of the Lord and so I then wrote out a portion of that which was shown me in regard to The Institute but could not get out the entire subject because of pressure of blood to the brain had I thought that number 12 will be so long delay I will not in any Cas have sent the portion of the matter contained in number 11 I suppose that after wasting a few days I could again resume my writing but to my great grief I found that the condition of my brain made it impossible for me to write the idea of writing testimonies either general or personal was given up and I was in continual distress because I could not write them in this state of things it was decided that we will return to Battle Creek and there remain while the roads were in a muddy broken up condition and that I I would they complete number 12 my husband was very anxious to see this Brethren at Battle Creek and speak to them and rejoiced with them in the work which God was doing for uh him I gathered up my writings and we started to our journey on the way we had two meetings in Orange and had evident that the church was profited and encouraged we were our self refreshed by the spirit of the Lord now remember the the previous vision and uh remember just the the previous Vision where actually the Brethren were talking against them when they were away and now they are planning to return to the place where the Brethren were back biting them and did not need them so um they are coming and the husband is rejoicing that they are going to tell of their labors how they have been s successful but now not what change what it changes um into that night I dreamed that I was in Battle Creek looking out from the side glass at the door and saw a company marching up to the house two and two they looked stunn and determined I knew them all and turned to open the paror door to receive them but thought I will again the scene was changed the company now presented the appearance of a Catholic procession one bore in his hand across another Reed and as they approach the one carrying a Reid made a circle around the house saying three times this house is prescribed the goods must be confiscated they have spoken against our holy order Tera seized me and I ran through the house out of The North Door and found myself in the midst of a company some of whom I knew but I dared not speak a word to them for fear of being betrayed I tried to seek a retired spot where I might weep and pray without meeting eager inquisitive eyes whever I turned I repeated frequently if I could only understand this if they will tell me what I have said or what I have done I wept and prayed much as I saw our Goods confiscated I tried to read sympathy or pity for me in the books of those around me and marked um sorry I tried to read sympathy or pity for me in the looks of those around me and Mark the counten of several whom I thought would speak to me and confort me if they did not fear that they would be observed by others I made one attempt to escape from the crowd but seeing that I was watched I concealed my intentions I commenced whing aloud and saying if they will only tell me what I have done or what I have said my husband who was sleeping in a bed in the same room heard me weeping aloud and awoke me my pillow was wet with tears and a sad depression of spirit was upon me now sometime previously we have tried to dissect and uh decord this part of the dream where there's a holy procession and they were to confiscate his Goods because they had SP of their holy order and um it seems that um um this was a picture where she was going to write about the J order in the book great controversy I know there are different versions of this story how people understand them and um I don't dispute any but um to my thinking because he was compiling um uh the Great controversy and there was a section of the Jesuits order I think this is the only order that is called the holy order the Society of Jesus and so this was another Vision to show how how Satan was enraged with the work that she was doing even uh speaking about Jesuits in the book great controversy but again he says that the people she saw she knew them now in the earlier dream before she left from Mr W's Place actually she was shown the brethren in Battle Creek her own church members and ministers that is the ministers and the officers talking and biting her in the husband and um you remember the story of the stoning K wanting to Stone uh James White and James White wanting to Stone kog and these were accumulation of things that God was opening to her but then when they returned actually they find they found the the breth in Battle Creek so cold unto them she says that she knew these people and they were marching like U um um they were marching like the Catholic procession but she knew them so the is the view that the enemy was angry at her writing about the J order or the church officials were angry about her um actually um uh chasing them or uh uh bringing in the message of warning against uh the the church in Battle Creek and their officers which actually the Battle Creek the people there deemed that place to be holier than uh th actually it will be like in the days of the Prophet when you will be say prophesy not here in Jerusalem it is the King's place and so you could not say anything against Battle Creek because it was the center of the world and so it may be referred as the holy order or the Catholic procession I'm not dogmatic about how I understand this portion of IG white dreams you can have your own understanding but it is clear when they came back to Battle Creek they found they received a call reception from the very people that they thought they could tell them uh the report of the success of the work they had um been able to accomplish amid challenging moments and amid sickness poverty and uh much opposition from the enemy but um it was not to be so the very people he knew so well were having a Catholic procession and they wanted nothing to do with her books and so brother and sister Ho accom us to West wiso where we were received and welcome by brother and sister kman Sabbath and fast day we met the Brethren and sisters from the churches in the vicinity and had freedom in bearing Our Testimony to them the refreshing Spirit of the Lord rested upon those who felt a special interest in the work of God our conference meetings were good and nearly all bore testimony that they were strengthened and generally encouraged in a few days we found oursel again at Battle Creek after an absence of about 3 months on the Sabbath March 16 my husband delivered before the church the sermon on sanctification pornographically reported by the edit of the review and published in volume 29 number 18 He also spoke with clearness in the afternoon and On th day for noon I bore my testimony with usual freedom Sabbath the 23rd we spoke with freedom um to the church in Newton and Li with the church at con the following Sabbath and first day we designed to return North and went 30 miles but were obliged or obliged to turn back on account of the condition of the roads my husband was terribly disappointed at the cold reception which he met at Battle Creek do you read that my husband was terribly disappointed at the cold reception which he met at the Battle Creek and this is what she was shown in the P Vision that the Brethren there in the ministers were talking against them and I was also grieved we decided that we could not bear Our Testimony to this church till they gave better evidence that they wished our services and concluded to labor in conis and monter mon till the roads should improve the two following sabbaths we spend at conv and have proof that a good work was done as the best of fruits are now seen I came home to Battle Creek like a weary child who needed comforting words and encouragement it is painful for me here to state that we were received with great coldness by our Brethren from whom three months before I had parted in perfect union excepting on the point of our living home the first night spent in Battle Creek I dreamed that I had been laboring very hard and had been traveling for the purpose of attending a large meeting and that I was very well sisters were arranging my hair and adjusting my dress and I fell asleep when I woke I was astonished and indignant to find that my garments had been removed and there had been placed upon me old rugs pieces of bed quilts knoted and sealed together said I what have you done to me who has done this shameful work of removing my garments and replacing them with begas rugs I tore off the rugs and threw them from me I was grieved and with anguish cried out Bring Me Back My garments which I have worn for 23 years and have not disgraced in a single instant unless you give me back my garments I shall appeal to the people who will contribute and return me my own garments which I have worn 23 years and before I just continue with that remember in U one place and just want to bring it on the screen um um she had to say this at one point when uh actually in 1888 uh also they manifested the same Spirit against her and I'm going to read from 1888 materials page 152 you know this Same Spirit that was there in 1850s to 1880s when continued to 1888 and when she could not bear it anymore this is um what now she had to tell this Pap I'm reading from 1888 materials when I have been made to pass over the history of the Jewish nation and have seen where they stumbled because they did not walk in the light I have been led to realize where we as a people will be led if we refuse the light God will give us eyes have ye but he see not ears but you here not now Brethren light has come to us and we want to be where we can grasp it and God will lead us out one by one to him I see your danger and I want to warn you now this is the last Minister's meeting we will have unless you wish to meet together yourselves if the ministers will not receive the light I want to give the people a chance perhaps they may receive it God did not raise me up to come across the plains to speak to you and you sit here to question his message and question whether sister white is the same as he used to be in Years Gone by I have in many things G way back and given you that which was given me in years past because then you acknowledge that sister white was right but somehow it has changed now and sister white is different just like the Jewish Nation so she says I want to give the people a chance back to this Vision back to this Vision uh this is what what she says that um uh she she will say she she she she went ahead to say that unless you give me back my garments I shall appeal to the people who will contribute and return me my own garments which I have worn 23 years it seem that um the ministers and the officers at Battle Creek and the hatred they had for this uh um white family really would not even afford them to get the messages to the people and so she says that I'll appeal to the people in 1888 he says that I'll give the people a chance meaning that there was a way all things were being blocked from her and these were the experiences when she was actually coming up with the great controversy that the enemy of souls was a against her to the atos that even he set his own Brethren her own Brethren to be against um her and the husband and then she went ahead to say I have seen the Fulfillment of this dream at Battle Greek we met reports which had been put in cation to injure us now this is the removing of the garments and putting on of the rugs and you know that in the Bible garments represents character and so they had taken her good character which he had WN or walked in in 23 years and had put false report upon her and implanted in the minds of the people another character which was not like unto her character there's somewhere I'm going with this matters I have seen the Fulfillment of this dream at B Creek we met reports which had been put in cirulation to injure us but which had no foundation in truth letters had been written by some making a temporary stay at the Health Institute and by others living in Battle Creek to churches in Michigan and other states expressing Fierce doubts and insation in regard to us I was filled with grief as I listened to a charge from a fellow laborer whom I had respected that they were hearing from every quarter things which I had spoken against the church at Battle Creek I was so grieved that I knew not what to say we found a strong accusing Spirit against us as we became fully convinced of the existing feelings we felt homesick we were so disappointed and distressed that I told two of our leading Brethren that I did not feel at home as we met distrust and positive coldness instead of welcome and encouragement and that I had yet to learn that this was the course to pursue toward those who had broken down among them by over ex exertion and Devotion to the work of God I then said that we thought we should move from Battle Creek and seek a more retired home now remember in 1888 when things got so hot and so discouraging she was about to leave the ministerial Institute and the uh the Minneapolis meeting but uh the angel told her not yet not yet and so she stayed but she had been facing this discouragements since 1856 what I want us to understand is that um the office of the messenger the prophet or a prophetes it is not something to be joked around with some people look at this office and they think that oh this is the best office that somebody can have just receiving Visions from God and relating them having an e drop uh on what Saturn is planning knowing the future and U knowing the past and the present and you hear people say I wish I had the gift of prophets of a prophet and have we ever asked ourselves even in the gift that we think they are less the the ones that just we desire can we be able to remain humble and be able to stand without retaliation when we are faced with the opposition can we have an example of Jesus Christ being manifested in us who never retaliated when he he was reviled he did not revile again when he was abused he did not abuse again but committed everything to the one who is the judge of all things and reads motives and so this office that he had in people think that it was a roll a roller coaster to EG White having visions relating testimonies and U uh being able to admonish the people that were in battle Greek and don't forget also she was a woman and how you have to understand the setup of um the the whites people in her period the women were looked down you have to understand that when you read about women could not even vote at that time and for some purpose they know but um actually when you look at how women were treated at that time it was not something that you could want to be in Forefront of men speaking to them and delivering them a message that was contrary to their test and so here we have a feeble instrument a standard three Dropout Elementary School a woman with a sick husband and a one who is trying to make sure that she is a mother to her children whom she has been leaving Time After Time and here are a people whom they had Herald the first Angel's message and the second coming of Jesus Christ and had a disappointment in 1844 here is how they are treating her and sometimes when people tell us how painful they are through the situation they are going through we sometimes say brother or sister I feel your pain but how true are these words when you tell somebody you feel their pain maybe in sincereness of the heart we speak these words but uh I don't think we have ever come to a position to understand when somebody tells you I'm hurting to know really what is happening in the heart of that person you may feel that it is just a normal pain that people are feeling and maybe you could have passed through an experience and you say I can identify with what you are going through but I can tell you the magnitude of what is going on in the hearts of the people cannot be measured sometimes because people are just on the verge of collapsing and uh if it were not for the mercies and the strength of Christ people will faint and collapse in our presence due to the things that they are going through and so uh they felt homesick I then said that we thought we should have we should move from Battle Creek and seek a more retired home now what does it mean that we should seek a more retired home remember when EG white uh was being called into the office after hen F and uh uh is that William Foy had um been called into the prophetic office but uh it didn't go as it was she begged the Lord to be freed from this work and the Lord told her that uh he will be her string severely she refused this work and even at some point when she had come to the office there was a time the child was so sick and she wanted to remain with the child and it was like um she had to choose between God doing God's work and this child and then the child was recovered there was a lot of Trials during this period and the writing of the great controversy there again there was some difficulties she had with uh the husband and and um she had communication with Lucinda Hall and at the birth of Edison at some point when um the Edon crossed with Willie white uh she had to tell Willie white that he should be so careful how he speaks to Edson white because his pregnancy and the his birth was not the same as the one of Willie white it was under a very trying moment of her life and so we can peep through in the background of EG white and see how things have been difficult and uh how things were not just uh a rose of flowers so grieved in spirit beyond measure I remained at home breading to go anywhere among the church for fear of being wounded and when she said that she wish to retire to home this is to say she wanted to leave the prophetic gift alone and just uh be a normal person so that she may not face such a things that she was facing so grieved in spirit beyond measure remained at home breing to go anywhere among the church for fear of being wounded finally as no one made an effort to relieve my feelings I felt it to be my duty to call together a number of experienced Brethren and sisters and meet the reports which were circulating in regard to us weighed down and depressed even to anguish I met the charges against me giving a recital of my journey East one year sins and the painful circumstances attending the journey I appeal I appeal to the to those present to judge whether my connection with the work and cause of God will lead me to speak lightly of the church at Battle Creek from whom I had not the slightest alienation of feeling was not my interest in the course and work of God as great as it was possible for their to be my my whole experience and life were in theen with it I had no separate interest aside from the work I had invested everything in this course and had considered No sacrifice too great for me to make in order to advance it I had not allowed affection for my my loved babes to hold me back from performing my duty as God required it in his course maternal love throbbed just as strongly in my heart as in the heart of any mother that lived yet I had separated from my nursing children and allowed another to act the part of mother to them I had given unmistakable evidence of my evidences of my interest in and Devotion to the ca of God I have shown by my Works how dear it was to me could any produce stronger proof than myself were they Zeals in the course of truth I more were they devoted to it I could prove greater devotion than anyone living engaged in the work had they suffered for the truth sake I I had not counted my life dear unto me I had not Shan reproach suffering or hardship when friends and relatives had despaired of my life because disease was praying upon me I had been born in my husband's arms to the boat or C at one time after traveling until midnight we found oursel in the city of Boston without means on two or three occasions we walked by faith seven miles we traveled as far as my strength would allow and then knelt on the ground and prayed for strength to proceed strength was given and we were enable to labor honestly for the good of souls we allowed no obstacle to deter us from Duty or separate us from the work the spirit manifested in this meeting distressed me greatly I returned home still burden as those present made no effort to relieve me my acknowledging that they were by acknowledging that they were convinced that they had misjudged me and that their suspicions and accusation against me were unjust they could not condemn me neither did they make any effort to relieve me he says for 15 months my husband has had been so feeble that he had not carried his watch or pass or driven his own team when riding out but with the present year he had taken his watch and pass the latter empty in consequence of our great expenses and had driven his own team he had during his sickness refused at different times to accept money from the Breen to the amount of nearly 100,000 $1,000 telling them that when he was in one he will let them know it we were at last brought to one my husband felt it his duty before becoming dependent to First sell what we called spare he had some few things at the office and Scattered among the bre Battle Creek of little value which we collected and sold we disposed of nearly $150 worth of furniture my husband tried to sell our sofa for the Meeting House offering to give $10 of its value but could not at this time our only and very valuable cow died my husband then for the first time fa that he could receive help and addressed a note to a brother stating that if the church WIll esteem it a pleasure to make up the loss of the cow they might do so but nothing was done about it only to charge my husband with being insane on the subject of money the Brethren knew him well enough to know that he will never ask for help unless do to it by St necessity and now that he had done it judge of his feelings and mind when no notice was taken of the matter only to use it to wound us in our W and deep Affliction at this meeting my husband humbly confessed that he was wrong in several things of this nature which he never should have done and never would have done but for fear of this of his Brethren and desire to be just right and in Union with the church this led those who were injuring him to apparently despise him we humble into the very dust and distress Beyond expression in this state of things we started to feel an appointment at mon on the journey I suffered the keenest anguish of spirit I tried to explain to myself why it was that our Brethren did not understand in regard in our work I had felt quite sure that when we should meet them they will know what Spirit we are of and that the spirit of God in them will to the same in US his humble servants and there will be Union of feeling and sentiment instead of this we were distrusted and suspiciously watched which was a cause of greatest perplexity I ever experienced as I was just thinking a portion of the vision given me at Rochester December 25 1865 came like a flash of lightning into my mind and I immediately related it to my husband as we come to a close I was shown a clust of PR standing near together foring a circle running up over this Pras was a Vine which covered them at the top and rested upon them forming an AR soon I saw the tree swing to and FL as though moved by a powerful wind one branch after another of the vine was shaken from it support and uh this is talking about the husband actually and so it says one branch after another of the vine was shaken from its support until the vine was was shaken loose from the trees except a few tendrils which were left clinging to the lower branches a person then came up and Saed the remaining clinging Trang of tendrils of the vine and it lay prostrated upon the Earth the distress and anguish of my mind as I saw the vine lying upon the ground was beyond description many passed and looked ply upon it and I waited anxiously for a friendly hand to raise it but no help was offered I inquired why no hand raised the Vine presently I saw an angel come to the Apparently deserted Vine he spread out his arms and placed them beneath the vine and raised it so that it stood upright saying stand toward heaven and let thy tenders entwine about God Thou Art shaken from Human support thou can stand in the strength of God and flourish without it lean upon God alone and thou shall never lean in vain or be shaken there of from I fa in inexpressible relief aming to Joy as I saw the neglected Vine cared for I turned to the angel and inquired what these things meant said he thou are this Vine all this thou will experience and then when these things occur thou shal fully understand the figure of the vine God will be to thee a present help in White in time of trouble from this time I was settled as to my duty and never more free in bearing my testimony to the people if I ever F the arm of the Lord holding me up it was at that meeting my husband was also free and clear in his preaching and the testimony of all was we have had an excellent meeting after we return from mon I felt it was my duty to call another meeting as my brethren made no effort to relieve my feelings I decided to move forward in the strength of God and again Express and again express my feeling and free myself from the suspicions and uh reports cated to are injured I bore my testimony and related things which had been shown me in the past history of some present of some present warning them of their dangers and reproving their wrong course of action I stated that I had been placed in most disagreeable positions when families and individuals were brought before me in Vision it was frequently the case that was shown me in relation to them was of private nature proving secret sins I have labored with some for months in regard to wrongs of which others knew nothing as my brethren see this person s and hear them Express doubts in regard to the accepted with God also feelings of despondency they have cast sins upon me as though I were blame for their being in trial those who th sented me were entirely ignorant of what they were talking about I protested against person sitting as inquisitors upon my course of action it has been the disagreeable work assigned me to reprove private sins where were I in order to prevent suspicions and jealousy to give a p explanation of my cause and make public that which should be kept private I should sin against God and wrong the individuals I have to keep private reproofs of private RS to myself locked in my own breast let others judge as they may I'll never betray the confidence reposed in me by the heing and repentant or reveal to others that which should only be brought before the ones that are guilt I told those assembl that they might must take their hands off my off and leave me free to act in the fear of God I left the meeting relieved of uh heavy burden and so we are seeing the life of EG white and uh how it moped into even the testimonies being um doubted um and um many just happening with the brething there who have been mentioned but I'll forear right now uh but um this is the story and the what I wanted to come out is that um the life of E White was not a Bed of Roses but it was a life that um uh she had [Music] to face the forces of the enemy and amidst these challenges there is one encouragement that I have you know when uh we are faced with situations when we are working in the vineard sometimes we think that we have been deserted by God and uh some have even said if this is the case then I just leave and stay as a church member and uh have no burden where actually fingers will be pointed to me anymore but here we have the example not of EG white alone but we have an example of canonical and noncanonical uh prophets going through hard times and um we have even Elijah himself saying it's is enough to me I want to die let me die we have the people like Ezekiel we have people like Jeremiah who are left in the pit to die and U um we have also the people among us us who have gone through these great things but the Lord has preserved them we remember that in 1891 to 1900 when they became even tired of her testimonies she was send 9 years in Australia but that is just another story you can read in scattered materials um um how she was treated but um she was scorned and uh if you think that her story was a love story think once again and uh I just want to read uh one one thing about um what she had to say about her being sent in Australia without help here is um what um we read dear brother o Olsen I have not I think revealed the entire workings that led me here to Australia perhaps you may never fully understand the matter the Lord was not in our living America he did not reveal that it was his will that I should leave Battle Creek the Lord did not plan this but he let those but he let you all move after your own imaginings the Lord will have heard Willie white his mother and her workers remain in America we were needed at the heart of the work and had your spiritual perception design the true situation you will never have consented to the move movements made but the Lord read the hearts of all there was so great a willingness to have us live that the Lord permitted this thing to take place those who were weary of the testimonies born were left without the persons Who Bore them our separation from Battle Creek was to let men have their own will and way which they thought superior to the way of the Lord letter 27 1896 written December 1 1896 at Kur and Bong uh new southwes Australia when the general conference sent me and my helpers to Australia our people should have understood the situation and should have provided us with means and facilities for establishing the work in the country for seven years we have labored here but except the Publishing House in Melbourne we have no institution that can give character to the work in our school work something has to be done but we have not yet the means for erecting our main hall which will contain the chapel and recitation rooms we have not means for the necessary Improvement of the land and Equipment of um the building we were sent to this colonies Australia and New Zealand by the conference and again again I have presented our situation before you at Battle Creek but in face of all this the policy has been pushed of enlarging the institutions in Battle Creek adding building to building in order to accommodate a larger influx all this is eating up the funds I know that perillas time are upon us and pressure for means that we do not now design when the ter when the interest of God's cause demanded that funds should be sent to the baren fields of Australia to establish a sarum there a prompt response should have been made the word of the Lord came to me to appeal to Battle Creek Institution for means we asked for no gift from Dr Kellog but from the sanitarium the institution that was boastingly spoken of as being the greatest sentarum in the world not withstanding the fact that the institution has had a good patronage it has it has never heed this call now you remember kog K who had a problem with eg white he was raised by EG White and the family when the parents died and was committed in the hands of IG white he came and hated them he wanted to Stone James White James St white wanted to Stone him back he carried this Spirit even when the cium was established and the means wanted in Australia he could not give it or he could not release it or the Battle Creek will not Rel release it and then they were tired uh of the testimonies and they sent her into the field far away without help and the last quot says we have taken up the work in the forign fields where the people have never heard the truth but the mission work has not been Advanced as it should have been we could not go very far because we had not the means all that I have received from the royalties of the books I have written I have invested in the work and then I have said to my brethren by faith lend me your means I'll pay you the interest but the work cannot stop here I have tried to carry forward the medical missionary work and the gospel these two are united and should never be separated because Christ did not separate them some institutions have been established in Australia but not half what they ought to be or what they will be after we had directed which with what help we could get there 11 meeting houses and organiz 11 churches then the work was just taken hold of with the ends of our fingers what was the matter there was no money in the treasury we had no means to handle I never want men to send to missionary Fields I never want men sent to missionary Fields with nothing to work with as we were sent to Australia they have sent some money to that field uh and this is no more than they should have done it was God's money I have to stop here these are the experience and the sketches of EG White's life 1856 to almost 1876 and extended to 1901 and so if uh you are facing any problem right now be encouraged you are not the first one to face the problem if the breath are backbiting you if you can find no means if all you can use is from your own garden or from your small business to do the work you are not the first to do that Paul did it and some other ministers did it EG white did it from the royalties of her books and uh we will not be the first to do such a work only what I want us is to be encouraged from these experiences and learn from them that um we shouldn't trust our uh our life with the Mortals cast is a man who leans on the arm of flesh but we should lean on the hand of omnipotence which doesn't fail I wish you well and those who are in difficulty situations to spread the Three Angels messages there are no means the church cannot send means this is not the reason for you to stop working this should even give you a springboard to work with your hands more so as you may sustain the work and not let the work languish otherwise the Lord blesses and I hope that U this matter is not to bash the Battle Creek but to reveal the real situation that the Servants of the Lord find themselves in when they have been called in an office um by God to work for the Salvation of men the Lord himself has promised everything uh has said that in this world we shall find many troubles but we be of good careair because he have overcome come there there is no Christian who have been promised that things will be well what the Lord has promised is that he shall be with us when we go through these trials and may the Lord bless us shall we close up with a prayer thank you heavenly father I just pray that you may remove the mming spirit in us when things doesn't work out the way that uh we see it is fit and it is um uh easy for us may we learn from the past experiences of th servants and Lord may we not have this Spirit of mourning and wanting to disunite from others who treat us so badly as uh your Messengers have heard the presence of angels telling them that not now stay put so may we also hear the same Echo telling us that you should stay put and do the work that you have been called to do soon the the one who is coming shall come and he shall not be pleased with those who draw back help us to be part of those who plunge forward rather than draw back or stand still at the voice of uh uh the commander and the the captain of the ship and uh bless your children strengthen them wherever they are and uh bless the work that you have given to your church in this end times in Jesus name amen	Gospel Sounders [GSrrM]	UCcMku_JxPwv3i2S4yputAug	2024-02-16	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

IVQYLRSQSdQ	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVQYLRSQSdQ	The Story of NEST: The Secret Military Unit That Fought Decepticons	this is a unit for its Special Forces not for boys who want to own special cars [Music] welcome back Autobots a Decepticons and everything in between to another Transformers Theory today's we're going to dive into the Intriguing history of the non-biological extraterrestrial species treaty better known by its acronym nest for those who may not remember Nest was the military organization that assisted the Autobots in their fight against the Decepticons during the events of Revenge of the Fallen and Dark of the Moon since there is a ton of lore about Nest I will be creating a timeline of events from its founding to its termination as well as its subsequent reactivation to do this I will be using information the films give us in addition to some of the info the tie-in movie Comics provide though much of the information from them are no longer Canon due to age of Extinction and the last night screwing up their timeline I will be using significant dates from them and plausible events that I feel would logically line up within the bavers in order to help flesh out this timeline and for those of you who want a deeper understanding of of Nest backstory I highly recommend checking out my video on sector 7. as this video builds directly off of that one so without further Ado let's Jump Right In and uncover the history of the nest our timeline begins on June 2007 after the decepticon's tirade was stopped thanks to the combined effort of the United States military and the Autobots the government was deeply disappointed with sector 7's inability to prevent the Decepticons attack on Los Angeles in an effort to keep the incident Under Wraps President George W bush ordered the directive to terminate sector 7 and discreetly dispose of the remains of the Fallen Decepticons in the depths of the Laurentian Abyss this order was carried out effectively and in July of 2007 Megatron and the boys were now resting at the bottom of the sea now before I continue with the timeline I would like to address how I exactly Got The Dumping date for the Decepticons the date comes courtesy of the Revenge of the Fallen movie prequel comic Alliance in it the comic states that the Battle of Los Angeles happened a month before the Decepticons were dumped we know that the 2007 movie takes place in June 2007 since Sam witwiki just completed his junior year of high school and 2007 being the year the film takes place is backed up by George W bush being president with that info in mind this would Place July being the month of when the Decepticons were laid to rest at the bottom of the Laurentian Abyss so with that information squared off let's get back to the timeline now minutes before the Decepticons were dunked into the ocean William Lennox found himself at odds with some of his superiors at the Pentagon these officials lacking trust in the Autobots oppose lennox's idea for a joint military Alliance they made it clear that before they would provide full support for the alliance Lennox must first secured the complete cooperation of the Autobots this task was now firmly placed on the shoulders of the young officer who would have to take the responsibility for making the alliance a reality now the reasoning behind the lennox's desire to form an alliance with the Autobots is not directly stated in the films or Comics however over it can be inferred that as one of the first individuals to witness the destructive capabilities of the Decepticons he understood the urgent need for a powerful Ally in the fight against them lennox's first-hand experience in battle alongside the autobots and not only showed him of the effectiveness of a human Autobot alliance against the Decepticons but it also revealed the autobot's unwavering commitment to protect Humanity even if it meant sacrificing their own lives I believe this realization was the reason why Lennox was so determined to create an alliance with the autobots and as we know his determination paid off since when Revenge of the Fallen rolls around Nest is in full swing countering Decepticon incursions all across the globe with several new Autobots by their side they now have a global headquarters stationed on the island of Diego Garcia and this new guy named more showers in charge whoa let's step back a bit and figure out how we got from this to this and well a good place to start is with the Revenge of the Fallen movie though it does not give us much information on how Ness progressed throughout the years we do get this nugget of information respect women fighting side by side in the field for two years this would mean that Nest was officially founded sometime in 2007 likely in July since that's when Lennox proposed the idea of a military alliance between the United States and the Autobots which Optimus agreed to with the Assurance of the autobots's full cooperation the Pentagon approved the alliance and the non-biological extraterrestrial species treaty was formed at this time in general Glenn Moore shower the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States military would have taken on the role as the organization's leader as for why Nest was stationed on the island of Diego Garcia it was probably done to keep the presence of giant transforming robots a secret the government would also go on to request that the last known remaining piece of the all-spark would be placed under human protection at Diego Garcia in a Shakir electromagnetic Vault now another thing that likely happened as soon as this Alliance was formed was the passing of the alien Autobot cooperation act this piece of legislation was crafted and passed in secret in order to keep the public unaware of the government's partnership with autonomous robotic organisms this agreement was made between the United States and the Autobots in which the Autobots would provide intelligence and protection from the Decepticons in exchange for a safe haven on Earth under the agreement full and equal information sharing was to be implemented by both sides as an S became more multinational the terms of the agreement extended to its members now the last thing to take note of that happened during this time is Optimus Prime speech as we know at the end of the 2007 movie Prime sends out a signal across space in an effort to locate any surviving Autobots upon watching the film you would think that message was sent out on top of this hill however we later learned that the message was actually sent out at Nest allowing for skids and mud flaps siteswipe a jolt RC Elita 1 and chromia to come to Earth from this point on up until the events of Revenge of the Fallen Nest would work closely with the Autobots in order to counter various Decepticon threats during this time the group became multinational operating within foreign borders in order to contain and neutralize Decepticon incursions some of the Personnel that made up Nest at this time was the majority of the Qatar Ranger team those members being Captain William Lennox the founder of Nest his right hand man technical Sergeant Robert Epps and a last but not least Burke as for some other personnel there were a ton of British army soldiers who served in Nest this makes sense since the island of Diego Garcia stationed joint military bases for both the United Kingdom and the United States the only British soldier we got a name for was agent Graham who was part of the Special Air Services forces now something to note here is that in real life there's no such UK military unit known as the Special Air Services forces the sasf is likely a fictionalized version of the real special Air Services which is an elite unit of the United Kingdom's Army this can explain why Graham is designated as an agent despite the fact that the SAS refers to their soldiers as troopers as for some other Personnel that join Nest at this time the only ones known by name would be Stone and from here we finally get to the events of Revenge of the Fallen which takes place in September 2009 we know that the film takes place in 2009 since Barack Obama is President and we know it's the month of September since Sam is starting his first year of college at Princeton University and a classes at Princeton typically begin during the first or second week of September during the events of Revenge of the Fallen Nest arrived in Shanghai with a cover story provided by the Chinese government that they were cleaning up a toxic spill in the industrial area in reality the autobot U.N military Alliance was hunting down the sixth group of Decepticon infiltrators detected in the past eight months with the hopes of cleanly taking out the enemy without members of the public witnessing the secret War during the mission to Shanghai more shower authorized Nest to deploy once he learned that the Chinese had sealed off the airspace around the suspected Zone it did not take long to confirm a Decepticon presence but said Decepticon started things off with a bang forcing Epps to request air assistance the Decepticons Demolisher and sideways wrecked a significant portion of Shanghai before they were defeated following the events in Shanghai President Obama dispatched his National Security adviser Theodore Galloway to Diego Garcia in order to outline the White House's criticisms of the nest operations and their alliance with the Autobots when Galloway got to Nest he pointed out that the administration feared that the reason why the Decepticons continued to stay and come to Earth was to seek vengeance upon the Autobots Galloway would go on to grill Optimus on why he refused to share information on cybertronian weapon technology with the United States military when the alien Autobot cooperation Act was being drafted Optimus made it clear that he was well aware of Humanity's less than Stellar performance in regards to peace stating that sharing their technology would absolutely do more harm than good Galloway would take issue with Prime's claim considering that the Autobots and Decepticons had destroyed their own Planet Captain Lennox who was now promoted to Major and Technical Sergeant Epps who was now promoted to master sergeant attempted to defend optimus's claims but Galloway made it quite clear that he did not care what they have to say chairman moreshower had better success in getting Galloway to show some respect saying that he found a Lennox and F's Beyond reproach but Galloway informed a more shower that with regards to National Security the president felt that no one was above reproach the security advisor would then directly ask Optimus that if the president felt that the United States as National Security was better served by having the Autobots leave Earth would they do so peacefully Optimus Prime agreed saying that freedom was their right however he told Galloway to pass a message along to the president that message being what if the Autobots left and the government was wrong unbeknownst to everyone during this conversation the Decepticon Communications officer Soundwave had been silently listening in gathering crucial information such as Megatron's whereabouts and the Laurentian abyss and the location of the last all-spark fragment which was being kept in a Shakira vault at Diego Garcia taking Swift action sound wave dispatched ravage and Reedman to steal the fragment the mission resulted in the loss of several Brave Nest soldiers further straining relationships between the United States and the Autobots with the shard in hand sound wave sent to the Constructicons to the Laurentian abyss and the scalpel used The Shard to revive their Fallen leader finally back in Action Megatron would set aside on capturing Sam whitwicky the Autobots would soon send word to nest of multiple incoming Decepticons but refused to specify where they were heading and would not respond to nest's calls Lennox ordered Nest to be ready for deployment in 20 minutes but by the time they made it to the U.S Lennox received a message from the Autobots the battle with the Decepticons to rescue Sam whitwicky had not gone well and Optimus Prime was dead in the wake of this devastating loss the Decepticons under the leadership of Megatron's Master the Fallen launched an onslaught of Boulder and more destructive attacks across the world the Fallen would go on to make a broadcast revealing the Transformers presence on Earth demanding that Sam whitwicky be turned over to them or Earth would be destroyed among the casualties were Paris France and the USS Theodore Roosevelt in the midst of this crisis President Obama was flown to a Shakir bunker somewhere in the middle of the United States horrified by the loss of over 7 000 lives including American Sailors Obama knew that immediate action was needed and so he called on General more shower to lead the charge in coordinating a national response with more shower focused on forming a strategy someone was needed to take the reins of nest and so President Obama appointed Theodore Galloway giving him operational control of the unit sometime after Optimus Prime's death his body would be brought to an Air Force Base in New Jersey before his body had barely hit the ground of the United States a military surrounded the Autobots Lennox ordered the soldiers to lower their weapons only to learn that director Galloway was now in charge of nest with his Newfound power Galloway used the broadcast and the attacks as an excuse to have Nest deactivated ordering Lennox to have his team and the autobot seesaw Decepticon operations and return to Diego Garcia pending further orders Lennox tried to argue the importance of the Autobots in a fight against of the Decepticons but Galloway dismissed his arguments stating that they needed to focus on a coordinated U.S military strategy he also revealed that wow battle plans were being drawn up they were exploring every diplomatic solution including the possibility of handing over Sam to the Decepticons as a final install Galloway stripped a badge off of lennox's uniform as the Autobots were being loaded onto c-17s for transport back to Diego Garcia Lennox received a phone call from none other than former sector 7 agent Seymour Simmons who said that he was with Sam and needed Optimus brought to Egypt since Sam figured out a way to revive him Lennox found it strange but realized that Sam had a better idea of the stakes and decided to trust him however there was a problem that problem was director Theodore Galloway if he got wind of this plan to go to Egypt there would be no hope in resurrecting Optimus to counteract this a Lennox notified his soldiers on the new plan and made arrangements with the pilots of the c-17s returning the Autobots to drop them off in Egypt mid-flight Lennox had the Pilots Fake some engine trouble Galloway began a suspect that Lennox might have something to do with this and warned that it would be the death of his career however when the plane Banks sharply to the left he realized that there was something wrong and began to visibly Panic as his parachute was strapped on Lennox then tricked the director into opening the parachute while they were still on the plane pulling him out and removing Galloway as an obstacle Lennox then had a message with the coordinates to where they were Landing sent to General more shower including a warning to get ready to bring the rain upon receiving this message more shower recognized that Lennox had a better idea of what was going on than their National Security advisor and told his men to be prepared to back Nest up if it came to a fight eventually Nest parachuted into Egypt to Landing in a village Lennox would order Nest to be ready for combat and once agent Graham had a visual on yellow team Lennox ordered a flare Tippy pop so Sam and friends could find them unfortunately this flare also got the attention of Starscream who began attacking the incoming Autobots and released an electromagnetic pulse to disable Nest Communications while Soundwave knocked out the United States as military satellite coverage once Communications were out Megatron ordered the Decepticons to attack with a small Force leading to engage a nest as if this was going down more shower tried to get in contact with Lennox and his team but because of the EMP it was impossible however by some miracle he was able to get a phone call from the National Security advisor you see after Galloway pulled a shoot he somehow ended up finding some locals and tried to ask them where he was only for them to believe that he was saying that he was in the United States Galloway then called General more shower and demanded to know where he was more shower hung up on Galloway without so much as a goodbye although he would have been amused by Galloway's predicament moreshower was concerned that Galloway could contact them while Lennox and his team could not heading to Nest control room more shower learned that the they couldn't establish contact with a nest he also learned that something had blinded all their satellites above the area more shower ordered his men to contact Egypt and Jordan to deploy some air assets to locate Nest once they saw the war that was raging on moshaw ordered every available armed unit to the region thus sparking operation Firestorm on the ground a NES fought a desperate struggle to hold off of the Decepticons until Sam arrived with the Matrix of leadership one sandwich Wiki and Michaela Baines were with them Sergeant Epps ordered in an airstrike which managed to destroy most of the Decepticon forces with the coast clear Sam was able to use the Matrix to bring Optimus back to life and with the autobot leader functioning once again Ness watched as he combined with Jetfire and subsequently defeated the Fallen forcing Megatron and the remaining Decepticons to retreat and thus the world was once again saved by a human Autobot Alliance from here we now move on to the events between Revenge of the Fallen and Dark of the Moon and this is where a lot of interesting developments take place as we know at the end of the film film Optimus Prime sends out a transmission into space detailing recent events so that the past of both human and cybertronian races would be remembered declaring that humanity and the Autobots would face the future together this message just like the first was vetted at mist and as we know it will go on to attract some more Autobots specifically the ones aboard the xanthium those being the autobot Engineers a Leadfoot Road Buster and topspin the autobot inventor wheel Jack and the autobot Warrior Mirage the ship would later be based at the Kennedy Space Center so the United States government could study and maintain military control over it the Wreckers were responsible for maintaining the craft while it was grounded and would spend most of their time working on it and repairing it with the help of some human Engineers however the trio was rarely let off to base due to their attitude another event that happened shortly after the events of Revenge of the Fallen was Theodore Galloway's rescue though we never get to see it play out on screen we know it happens since the government wouldn't just abandon their National Security visor in the middle of nowhere and the comics backed this up since he goes on to appear in several stories that take place after the events of Revenge of the Fallen some other events that took place during this time would be the Public's reaction to aliens living among them and working with the government after the fallen's hack the secret was out and there was no way Ness could cover this one up especially after the global mess of the Decepticons made the extent of what the public knew at this time is not fully known however by the time Dark of the Moon takes place the public is well aware of who the autobots and the septicons are in addition to key players from each faction former special agent Seymour Simmons would capitalize off of this by going on to write the best-selling book codename hero how Seymour Simmons and the alien saved the world which covered his experiences as a sector 7 agent and how he fought the Decepticons however public perception of the Autobots wasn't really high and by the time Dark of the Moon takes place half the world would feel safer with the Autobots completely gone to counteract the fear of Transformers Nest invented Energon detectors and set them up around the globe they were stationary installments designed to detect Energon signatures of cybertronians and were heavily used by Nest as a means of locating and tracking Decepticons speaking of the Decepticons they haven't been seen much of at all ever since operation Firestorm with a distinct lack of Decepticon threats and S began to get involved in policing human Affairs across the globe ever since the Autobots became fully sanctioned members of the United States military during this time NES Global headquarters would be moved from Diego Garcia to Washington D.C it would also be disguised as a Department of Health and Human Services building in order to fool Outsiders during this time a ton of new recruits joined nest after the organization was Declassified to the public welcoming those who wanted to fight giant alien robots with open arms the only recruits We Know by name would be Mark L hardcore Eddie Zimmerman and Hooch during this time a Lennox would be promoted from major to Colonel as for epsa on the other hand at some point after operation Firestorm he would retire from being a soldier due to him wanting a break from Alien and shooting at him he would subsequently be offered a position working on the xanthium at the Kennedy Space Center and with all that squared off we now finally get to the events of Transformers Dark of the Moon which takes place in the September of 2013. we know that Dark of the Moon takes place in 2013 since Sam just finished up his four-year degree in geopolitics with him graduating from Princeton during the last week of May we also know that Sam has been job hunting for three months due to a line Ron witwicki says three months out of school he can't find a job so with that said Dark of the Moon logically takes place around September 2013. during the events of Dark of the Moon Nest sent out an Autobot Strike Team composed up of Bumblebee sideswipe Mirage and a wheel Jack to destroy an illegal nuclear facility in the Middle East as of this was going down a tip from Alexi voshcad The General Counsel for the Ukrainian Department of energy sent lennox's team to the abandoned Chernobyl nuclear power plant The Nest team proceeded inside the power plant and within they located some sort of alien device however before they could secure it they were attacked by shockwave's pet driller which it made off with the device Lennox and his team evacuated the building and outside joint Optimus Prime and fighting off Shockwave and the driller after regaining possession of the device Optimus told Lennox that it was an engine part from a long-lost Autobot ship with the device in hand they returned to Nest headquarters where Autobot and human members alike were training to take down Decepticons Lennox will get a visit from the Director of National intelligent Charlotte mehring who wanted to compile some information on the recent Nest raid in Iran upon her arrival Optimus demanded answers about why he wasn't told that Autobot technology was at one point being used at Chernobyl mirroring would go on to explain that the reason why this information wasn't shared with the Bots was because it was deemed to be director only clearance at sector 7 until now she would then introduce Buzz Aldrin and two of NASA's founding directors to him they revealed the primer that Humanity had discovered the ruins of the Ark on the moon in the 1960s with this knowledge in in hand a prime traveled to the Moon with ratchet aboard the xanthium where they discovered the body of cyano prime within the ark's crash Vault along with a small fraction of the special cargo the ark had been carrying Five Pillars capable of opening a space Bridge upon their return to Earth amiring ordered that the pillars be locked up until Nesta knew what they were capable of swiftly after this Sam wit Wiki and his new girlfriend Carly Spencer arrived at the gate though the pair were stopped by the guards bumblebee let them in and Sam passed on information he had gained about the decepticon's involvement in the Space Race upon using the Matrix of leadership Optimus revive Sentinel who explained that the pillars were a transportation device and demanded that they be returned to the Autobots mirin however believed that the pillar's potential to be used as Weapons of Mass Destruction was too great and decided to keep them locked up a decision Sentinel wasn't too keen on after this mirin had a conversation with Sam and Carly to address Sam's desire of wanting to join Nest however she would explain to him that Nesta was a unit for veteran Intelligence Officers and Special Forces not for boys who want so in special cars however she told him that she appreciated what he did for them she would then send Nest agents to Sam's office as a result of the recent Decepticon attack in addition to sending him home with Autobot protection Sam would soon after get in contact with Seymour Simmons and the two would discover evidence that the Decepticons held hundreds of the same pillars Sentinel had fearing that the cons would soon be coming after sento Prime since he was the only one who could activate the pillars Sam alerted mirin and she would put Nest on high alert several Autobots escorted Sono Prime safely back to Nest headquarters while fending off a team of Decepticons along the way but once they had arrived at their destination Sentinel allowed his facade to drop revealing that he had a centuries-long alliance with Megatron he then killed Ironhide with his Cosmic rust Cannon and tore the nest base apart in order to reclaim the pillars meering tried to confront Sentinel as he rampaged through Nest however there was nothing she could do to stop him when Optimus eventually rolled up on the scene she told him that this was all his fault and would subsequently apologize to Sam for underestimating him eventually senopai met up with his Decepticon co-conspirators at the Lincoln Memorial there Sentinel opened up a small space Bridge through which Decepticon troops are waiting on the moon poured into DC the autobots and nests were overpowered by the sheer amount of Decepticons and retreated after Optimus told them to do so after retreating to the safety of the Pentagon Nest would learn from more shower that combat commands were now at Defcon 1. Lennox would subsequently explain that approximately 200 Decepticons were now in hiding and that Energon detectors have been triggered as far as South America and China Nest forces would then receive a message from Sentinel Prime stating that he and the Decepticons would harmlessly take the resources they needed from Earth in order to rebuild Cybertron and depart with no further Bloodshed if Optimus and his Autobot Rebels were exiled from the planet hoping that the military would get more time to make a coordinated attack against the December the cons if they cooperated with them by exiling the Bots Congress swiftly passed legislation to Exile the Bots from American Shores putting an end to the alien Autobot cooperation act as a result the Autobots would be taken down to the Kennedy Space Center in order to be exiled as a nest personnel and the Wreckers prepared to ship for launch Sam got a chance to catch up with apps while Simmons butted heads with marrying about how exiling the boss was a terrible idea after the Autobots made their final goodbyes the xanthium successfully lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center but it would soon be shot down by Starscream in the events aftermath Epps heard that Sam was planning on rescuing his girlfriend from Dylan gold the Decepticon liaison and thanks to the help of Simmons and Dutch they were able to figure out that he was holding her captive in a penthouse and Trump Tower wanting to get the guy who helped to murder the Autobots Epps decided to go with Sam and gathered a few friends he had worked with at nest after packing up their things that they would head to Chicago Sentinel Prime believing that the Autobots were destroyed and Megatron and the Decepticons to conquer Chicago and begin placing pillars in key locations worldwide following the attack on Chicago Lennox went to Grissom Air Force Base to coordinate and attack networking with more shower and demering by video more shower reported that their high altitude bombers had been taken out in all their Satellite Communication had been jammed leaving them without the ability to track the enemy's movements meering added that their drones were also being shot down despite these challenges more shower proposed a bold solution deploying small stealthy drones into the city to gather crucial intelligence Simmons interjected saying that whoever was Manning these UAV drones should redirect them towards Trump Tower since that's where Sam was heading to save Carly from Dylan when the gang arrived at vedasepticon control Chicago Epps was overwhelmed by the destruction and believed that rescuing Carly would be impossible he attempted to convince Sam that they did not stand a chance but just as if they were about to give up hope they were attacked by a Decepticon fighter but the team was saved when Optimus Prime and the Wreckers showed up on the scene as of the rest of the Autobots arrived they revealed that they had known that the Decepticons would never leave Earth alone and so they had hidden a booster rocket that disengaged before the ship was destroyed now having a Fighting Chance With the autobots's help they infiltrated the city and successfully rescued Carly after Carly was saved Epps managed to get a message to the Pentagon through a crashed military drone Carly was able to explain that the Decepticons were playing to use the pillars to bring Cybertron into Earth's atmosphere Epps and the Gang came up with a plan to destroy the control pillar with a rocket shot from a high building before Sam and the other humans left wheel Jack handed out grappling gloves and boomsticks to Aid them in combat at this time the Pentagon was doing everything they could to get more visuals on Chicago by attempting to access any camera still operational in the city Lennox would then organize a nest team to enter the embattled city and when he asked for volunteers to fly with him into a Decepticon occupied Chicago everyone was ready to do what was necessary to save the city the they traveled by Osprey to get to Chicago but once they started to take fire The Nest soldiers had to use a combination of wingsuits and parachutes in order to get to the ground safely as if this was going down Epson the others made it into a tall building when they were about to shoot down the control pillar Decepticon Fighters began firing at the skyscraper causing it to tilt when a Decepticon protoform came in looking for them the group escaped by jumping out of the window and sliding down to a lower floor after they were discovered by Shockwave he would send his pet driller to finish the building Epson the others were able to narrowly escape as Optimus arrived to put down the driller the group began rushing towards the building with the pillars which had started to activate but Epson his men were separated from Sam and Carly when Starscream took several pot shots at them Starscream would go on to attempt to squish Sam but Sam was able to fight back using the grapple glove to launch onto the robot's eye and jamming the boomstick in the other fully blinding him Lennox and his Squad was alerted to the commotion and started to open fire Lennox was able able to cut Sam free before the bomb and Starscream his head exploded as they fell bumblebee was able to catch them in the nick of time back at the Pentagon the military started to send tomahawks to the city Dutch was able to hack into the traffic camera for the Michigan Avenue Bridge and was able to show that the Autobots were captured as if this was going down Lennox was in the middle of leading his team to the river where they rendezvous with Absa and his group as well as a team of Navy SEALs they were unable to cross the bridge until Dutch was able to lower it remotely once on the other side of the river nested up an ambush to attack a group of Decepticons including Shockwave as the Lennox and his team parachuted down to get the drop on the Decepticons Epps ordered the snipers to Blind the cons Stone would then order demo team to use the botbusters in order to immobilize the Decepticons as if this was happening lennox's parachute got caught on Shockwave as he got to safety Zimmerman attempted a Decepticon head Kill Shot which didn't end up killing Shockwave but severely damaged him causing him to fling his Zimmerman off of him as a Lennox Godzilla men out of Harm's Way Epps and his team would open fire on Shockwave forcing him to retreat as anesta launched their attack on the remaining Decepticons the space Bridge process was temporarily halted by optimus's strike on the control pillar as Sentinel engaged Optimus in hand-to-hand combat the tomahawks from earlier finally arrived shooting down several Decepticon Fighters giving Optimus to cover he needed to fight Sentinel during all this Dylan gold was able to make his way to the control pillar and was able to reactivate it while Sam struggled to stop him Epps hellenix and the other soldiers were unable to provide assistance as they were heavily engaged in fighting the remaining Decepticon forces but as soon as Sam successfully took down gold Epps hellenix and the other soldiers arrived on the scene Epps urgently called for Bumblebee and Ratchet who then destroyed the pillar causing to partially form Cybertron to implode and collapse in on itself following the Battle Lennox Epson the rest of the nest soldiers walked out on the bridge where Optimus had defeated both Megatron and Sentinel celebrating a well-deserved victory just like in Egypt and in Los Angeles a human Autobot Alliance was the way to go when the world needed to be saved from the Decepticons from here we now move on to the events between Dark of the Moon and age of Extinction and here things were not looking too good for nest in the aftermath of the Chicago War public opinion against all Transformers grew considerably and thus at the United States government officially decommissioned The Nest program and replaced it with Cemetery wind acia run operation that would continue nest's mission of hunting down Decepticons a handful of vaness Personnel would end up joining the organization but I plan to cover this event in Greater detail in both my fall of public perception and a birth of cemetery wind videos respectively now regarding the exact date of Nest decommissioning we unfortunately don't have a precise date however according to the events described in Age of Extinction following the Battle of Chicago a swift act of Congress and at all joint operations between the military and the Autobots it can therefore be assumed that Nest was shut down no later than a month after the Chicago War placing their deactivation in October 2013. now as for what happened to the majority of Nest Personnel we can assume that they either retired since EPS would go back into retirement sometime after the events of Dark of the Moon or alternatively went back to the branch of military they originated from since by the time the last night rolls around we see that Lennox went back to working for the United States Army Rangers which was the branch he served under before forming Nest besides this speculation not much is known about what nest and its other Personnel were up to however during the events between age of Extinction and the last night the Deeds of cemetery wind were eventually exposed to the world and the organization was replaced by the Transformers reaction force Whose actions were more U.S government authorized it also appears that during this time in Nesta was reactivated since when the events of Transformers The Last Knight unfolded the old nest base at the Pentagon was still being used however the unit was heavily restricted on what they could do appearing to be only able to to be used for ucav and general surveillance operations in order to help aid the trf now unfortunately we don't have a clear date as to when they were reactivated however we do know that age of Extinction takes place in May 2018 since Harold Ettinger tells us that the Battle of Chicago happened five years ago and we know it's the month of May Since Tessa only has two weeks of school left as we know Cemetery wins Deeds would be exposed to the world prompting the trf to be formed to the same year and since we see Nest working with the trf during the events of the last night we can assume that they were reactivated around the same time that the trf was formed likely in mid to late 2018. now from here I would like to cover the vehicles and special gear Nest to use in Revenge of the Fallen Nest had a handful of vehicles to transport the Autobots around the globe they use Boeing c-17a glow Master 3s for human transport Bell uh-1 Iroquois Boeing ah-64 Apache longbows and Sikorsky uh-60 Blackhawks were good for the air while will modify 2008 Hummer hxes and 2009 Hummer h3ts armed with cannons were used to engage enemies while 2008 Can-Am spiders that were transported into trailers on Max CH series trucks and in globemaster 3s were used to get around Nest also had access to sector 7's heavily modified channel of desert Patrol vehicles but they were not used in combat as for some of the gear they used all Nest soldiers would be equipped with Quantum crypto gear moving on to Dark of the Moon Nest would add a few new ground vehicles to their Arsenal such as AM General hmm wvm1025s Oshkosh m1075pls and Oshkosh mtvrs for aircraft they would acquire a modified V-22 tandem that was a larger and had four rotors Boeing ch-47 Chinooks General atomics mq-1c gray Eagles Boeing ah-64d Apache longbows Bell CV 22 Ospreys a Gulfstream Aerospace g450 and the Rockwell Space Shuttle Discovery OV 103 and lastly as for some of the gear they use some Nest soldiers would be equipped with portable Energon detectors others would be equipped with bot Busters which were similar to the boomstix wheel Jack made and all Nest soldiers would be equipped with piercing debot specialized ammunition that was made to take down Decepticons now from here I would like to dive into the many logos and patches a nest had and well in Revenge of the Fallen their logo was a bull skull with wings however for Dark of the Moon their logo would be updated to a skull surrounded by three prongs this logo would have several variants of that Nest soldiers would Sport AS patches something you probably did not know was that the patch design Lennox sport it was a combination of the old and a new Nesta logo another patch of variant was this one of a sword which is definitely an homage to the Revenge of the Fallen patch that had nest's iconic motto on it furthermore there was another Nest patch but it wasn't as cool it was just a black end surrounded by a green background speaking of the color green another cool patch would be the one agent Graham and Hooch hat which was a lime green and appears to say Nest Special Forces or a special program on it however I'm not too sure which one it's supposed to be due to the quality of the photo now there is one last NASA logo you probably haven't seen or even known existed that would be this one that just says a nest and gray font this logo was reserved for the engineers at Nest who worked on the various Vehicles now the last thing I want to cover before ending off this video is the history behind what the acronym for nest stands for though we call it and you know it by the name the non-biological extraterrestrial species treaty this name for the organization was not mentioned in any of the films with it only being called by its acronym different meanings for the acronym have been offered by different sources on an LG promotional tie-in website the group was called the non-biological extraterrestrial species team while on Hasbro and nakara's websites in addition to the Veiled Threat novel Nest stood for networked element supporters and trans formers hey mouthful I know however Ness being known as the non-biological extraterrestrial species treaty originates from the Revenge of the Fallen Storybook of the last Prime and this name for the group has been used ever since appearing in idw's various Dark of the Moon Comics the Transformers classified novel series and of course Transformers the ride 3D and just like that now you know the history of the non-biological extraterrestrial species treaty I hope you guys enjoyed this video and if you have not already check out the fixing Transformers playlist for some more awesome theories but before I go

HLPMBO3Lje0	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLPMBO3Lje0	Blue Fern Passages Tutorial	hey everyone it's daphne from scrap and create and i just noticed my light doesn't look right so i'm going to adjust that real quick we're going to be working on graphic 45's new folio album and i'm going to be using um what am i using blue fern passages um to cover the album so i've got a couple things already ready i'm gonna adjust my lamp real quick because i don't think i have enough light there we go over my space that's a little bit better um so i'm gonna go ahead and get the cover on and then i'm gonna go over some of the embellishments so i'm using uh the eight by eight pack and a pack of the dies and this is the um first one i'm going to use for the cover and then i'm going to add some embellishments on some of the simple part of the print and the album opens this way so this is the cover you can actually turn it any way you want but i believe this is the way it's actually designed and i haven't done anything with blue fern yet and this paper is just so yummy it is so smooth and the colors are beautiful and it's just very it's wonderful very heavy it's a card maker's delight because it's a nice heavy um piece of paper so it's very high quality you could do you could easily do mixed media on it because it's so dense so i love it love it love it so there's my cover i'm gonna flip it over and this is what i chose for the back which is nice and colorful in the blue fern pack and again this is passages you get 20 double-sided prints so you get two of each design so you get 20 20 sheets which is nice that's a fair amount of paper i'll let you know as i get through adding my paper if one pack is going to be enough and i'll show you as soon as i get this down why it might not be and how you can make it stretch if you want to so as most of you know that have been on the channel before i like a very tight border so you don't see a whole lot of the cardstock around the print it's just my preference and because of that they they use these excellent magnets in here by the way um there's two waterfalls in here these waterfalls are four and a half by six and a half which is really nice because you're gonna have a nice border around any four by six photo you put in here but that means you can't split this in half and cover two of the waterfalls so because it's four and a half and i i like a small border i'm not going to be able to get two uh flaps out of one sheet of paper so i may need more than the 20. especially if i want one two three four five six twelve twenty four yep i'll need more so just to cover both of these i'll need um 24 sheets there's only 20 in a pack so and then i still haven't covered this put anything in my pocket covered this or any of these fine pieces so you are going to need two packs if you don't decide to cut this down to four inches and if you cut it down to four inches you are going to have a very large border around um around your designer paper with cardstock and it also means that if you put an untrim 4x6 on top you won't have a border around it you'll just be covering up your designer paper okay so that is the start now here's the die pieces i want to show you something it comes in this package and you can see the white border around these some of them come that way and i didn't care for it like the car here too much white border this one did too so i trimmed it all off inked my edges and i did the same on the balloon and then these pieces didn't come with that white trend so so i didn't have to trim it off but i'm going to use um these pieces uh to decorate the front of my album so i'm going to fuss around with this a little bit and then i will tune you guys back in once i once i figure out my placement and we can put these down adhere these with some glue i'm probably going to add some chipboard some of them some of them as well so i'm trying to get a cap on my glue there we go all right so i'll be back in a few minutes oh one more thing um these are the graphic 45 tags and it matches the folio perfectly so i'm going to be using these tags inside the interior diagonal pocket and i think also the top down pocket which is the second page in the folio so just fyi i i was really thrilled to find out that it matched perfectly so it's a nice accent to the folio itself okay i'll be back shortly hey everyone it's daphne from scrap and create and we are back to continue working on um passages which is a blue fern collection and we are using the graphic 45 folio so i've chosen my papers for the inside and i created uh this cover by slipping the entire sheet inside the pocket just drawing a line and then just hand cutting the diagonal for this diagonal bucket so it's pretty straightforward and easy to do there we go and then the piece that was left over is going to fit nicely into the pocket so i'm just slipping it in to make sure it's clear of our score line or our hinge area here press that into place isn't that pretty i love this paper not just the design of the paper but the quality of the paper is wonderful now there is a notch in this page and i'm not really sure how i'm going to do that so what i noticed when i went to slip this inside to to create a template for the notch is that it's actually glued on this side so this won't what fits on the outside won't fit on the inside so i think i'm going to actually glue it down as is and then come back and punch a notch out um with enough with a punch i haven't decided either that or i'll just leave it a rectangle normally i would slip it inside the pocket trace it and then either hand cut it or use a punch but since it won't fit in the pocket that's not an option and did i tell you i love this paper holy cow is so nice oops i put glue all the way over that which i don't want to do because i don't want to glue my pocket okay i'll let that dry let's go ahead and get this back piece on this is what i chose for the back piece isn't it pretty i think it's really pretty i think this makes a nice little travel folio not too big so it could be a specific trip there we go nice nice so then we've got this solid piece to cover and then everything else is a waterfall there we go and it feels like it's dry enough and i've already inked on my edges so you're not watching me do that i'll try to remember not to glue my pocket shut so i just kind of drew a big loop around it so i know i don't glue it shut so when i was looking at this book and getting ready to cover it one of the things i found out is the graphic 45 regular size craft tags match perfectly so i'm going to use some tags in this album on the inside okay so we've got the the inside diagonal pocket we've got this tall pocket and i i i'm not sure but i may punch that out i've got a one and a half inch or one and a quarter inch punch that may work perfectly here i'm going to test that in a little bit it's time to start selecting papers and trimming out for the waterfalls so i'm going to take a break here see if i can't locate my punch and then start picking my papers for the waterfall this feels really good in your hands it's very heavy card stock and i like it so it closes just like so um there's magnets and they they're part of the album so they it comes with the magnets already installed that adhere um these two outside um panels together and i think there's two magnets it's very strong whatever it is they're tucked inside so i can't see them without deconstructing the album but it feels nice and sturdy so i and you can see on the back of these um these arms that hold the waterfall in place it's a very thick magnet so it seems to be holding everything very nice and neat okay i'm gonna go pick out my papers and then we'll finish this album okay so while i was away i went through the the dye pack i think that's what it's called um and chose yeah they call them ephemera die cut shapes and chose some shapes that i want to feature on the cover i want to share with you that i've done some things to alter the image slightly um and i'll demonstrate that with a different piece so this is how they come in the dye pack and that's too much white for me so i actually went and fussy cut very tightly around the images of the balloon this camera's one piece and then the tickets i didn't have to do any anything with i just had to add some ink on the edges and um that worked out fine so this is basically the gonna be the bulk of the design i'm gonna use some chipboard to create some dimension here but basically we've got the balloon the camera and i wish there was two because i would pop the flowers if there were or add some flowers on the other side these tickets and i think i'm going to add this to i haven't decided but this is the main these are the two main features of the page so with that i'm going to take a few minutes i'm going to cut out some chipboard pieces and get them on the back of these and then start arranging them and and then when i get it where i like it i'll come back and we'll put these down together okay i think this is about what i want so i added another ticket i was going to use this but i think it just blends in too much for the background so i added a little another tag with some color and then i also added this and then this is another option uh to go here and even though i like the word better it disappears so i'm going to use this so i'm going to add some ink to it so it stands out a little bit better and then we're going to start gluing everything down so what i did as far as creating some dimension here i put two layers of chipboard on the lower half of the camera and then i put a single layer here so that i could tuck the balloon just behind it and there's a single layer of chipboard here so you can see that i i cut a diagonal here on the second layer so that i could slightly nest the balloon so like so so that's the first thing i'm going to do i think is go ahead and position the balloon with the camera and then we'll figure out the rest trying to decide how high up i want it i'm just gonna do it like this okay i think i like that i let my glue dry sorry this okay there we go now we'll go ahead and position this now i'm going to be tucking some tickets beneath it and that's one of the reasons why i don't put chipboard all the way to the edge because it makes it easy to tuck stuff under when you're embellishing plus it's just really hard to cut chipboard at you know certain angles so i'm just trying to place it so that we can still see our bird here which i think is pretty and press this all into place okay now i'm just adding a little texture to these tickets so they're not just flat i want to make them look a little bit more worn and used so i just bend them about like so and then i start stashing them around until i find a layout that's pleasing and i may have to trim trim the bottom trim the edge of the tickets so that i can get them so they appear to be more tucked in trying to decide which side i like i like it this way okay so this is the one that's gonna go in first okay then i'm gonna stash my pink one [Music] and then the last one is going to be the [Music] blue i've got a little bit of humidity that's helping me out today i'm gonna go ahead and cut some of the bottom off so it goes under a little easier yeah just like so that was nala you guys heard her okay put a little glue here and then we're gonna put our little last little bit right here okay and i'm just gonna um glue the edges because i want to leave that little bubble in the middle so that we have that dimension okay so i'm going to bring that up close so you guys can see so again there's two layers of chipboard behind the camera and a single layer behind the balloon and there's nothing uh these pieces are just inked same with this one right down here so i think that looks pretty fun don't you okay that's it for the cover the rest is going to be on the inside so that's it for now i really like this camera i think it's super cool and it's really i think a little too big to feature inside the album so i think it's perfect for the cover otherwise it would just overwhelm whatever page you put it on you would not really pay attention to anything else that was on the page okay that's it i'm gonna do a little housekeeping when i come back we'll continue decorating the inside of this album okay everyone let's continue working on passages and the graphic 45 folio so i've done the a side for both my waterfalls and what i decided to do is take an image and waterfall it down so i've cut slices off the edge of this so that when it's closed you're going to see the entire image for both of the waterfalls and then i'll probably take a quick break and line up my b side papers so the first thing i want to do is go ahead and lay down this little strip that i've cut to go right here and it actually came off of um i think it actually came off this piece but i'm not sure now there should be a second piece oops and i cut nope i don't have it handy i accidentally knocked something in the trash i don't know what it was i'll come back to that anyway um so i'm going to go ahead and glue this down and actually i'm going to wait because i need to find the other side i don't want to glue it down if i can't find this i'll i'll find something else that matches so let's go ahead and get started with the waterfall now for the waterfall i laid the papers in and sort of trimmed them individually and the reason is if you look at the waterfall it's not exactly perfect so it goes back and forth a little bit it's not completely perfect so that means the image is going to drift a little left and right but i did the best i could now um that's one of the drawbacks of having a pre-made album but one of the plus sides is when i'm all done i bet this whole project would comes together in right about an hour the whole thing and i would probably add maybe 20 minutes for the cutting which i don't do while you guys are watching so in an hour and a half you could have a finished project that you could gift to someone okay now what i decided to do here is put my image all the way to the bottom of the flap normally i leave a border around the whole thing but i want this image to be continuous so there's a border around the outside edges but each one of the individual strips is going to go all the way to the edge of the flap and now i have to get them back in order so that's the bottom bottom yeah that's the next one so this one will go right here and as you can see the image is going to be continuous so there won't be a border between the top flap and the following flap and so on there we go and then the next one is here and i laid my paper in and cut each one of these individually i didn't just do a half inch but you could do that too it wouldn't it wouldn't change the look much but i went ahead and just set the paper down and marked it with my pencil and then took it back and cut it with my trimmer okay then this one this one it looks like i got it a little too narrow so you're going to see a little bit of border and it's drifting i need to straighten this out i'm going to shift it to the left that's the first time i've tried to lift on this paper this paper is super thirsty it's almost like chipboard um the cardstock here so just fyi i think this one comes next not sure that doesn't look right this one definitely goes here it's got a number but these the map piece isn't lighting up or is it here we go goes this way yeah you gotta pay attention to the details okay and here's the last one now this one should have a border around it so when you look at the image as a whole you'll see a border around the whole image you can see there's a little bit of a gap and again that's partly because um the waterfall's not in perfectly straight and i think that's just the price you have to pay if you want a pre-made album they're never going to be as tidy as you are okay now this goes in same thing we're going to do the same waterfall process on this side then i'll take a break and line up my b-side papers now i'm telling you this goes together so quickly okay there we go now i gotta line up my papers see what comes next and make sure i got them all upside down but i think this is next yes upside down perfect now i'm not sure um what i'm going to do with uh this part i'm definitely going to cover this completely i'm going to cover the back sides completely and then come back and see what's left to cover this that is my current plan again everything is upside down see how fast that goes together i think i actually did a better job measuring these than i did this one i see very little gap this is partly bulging because of the magnet back here is holding the paper up okay which come pre-installed so you don't have to have magnets all you have to have is designer paper and a little bit of time okay there we go perfect so that's done so i'll get my pieces trimmed out for this what i'm going to do is lay it down trace it and then hand cut these and then i'm going to go get all the um the b sides cut and figure out what to do here so and then also for my spine so i'll take a break right now but so far so good i'm i'm liking this so this goes like this nope like this like this like that so it's coming along i'll be back shortly good morning everyone it's daphne from scrap and create and we are going to finish this folio which is a graphic 45 folio and then i'm using um blue fern passages and i've said passions a few times but it's passages and i apologize for that hopefully i didn't create too much confusion as always if you click the show more button the first thing you're going to see is a material list and that will be followed well normally would be followed by a cut list but this is already designed and made for you so all you have to do is trim your designer paper so there won't be a cut list just a material list [Music] and as you can tell by the length of the video this project goes together pretty darn fast so probably for every minute of video i would say it's safe to say that there was paper planning an equal amount of time of paper planning and trimming to make the album so it goes together pretty darn fast at least it did with this paper collection so right now i think i'm about at the half hour mark and i think i'll finish this up 15 or 20 minutes so i'm guessing at least for now it's going to be about an hour and a half from start to finish for this album and that includes paper planning and trimming which is pretty darn fast all right it looks like i didn't ink these i apologize for that so that is going to slow things down a little bit but it's just time you won't have to add on so i used i'm just going to tell you it's in the cup it's in the description too but i used two packs of the blue fern and by using two packs i'm able to cover the front and back of the waterfalls now if i only used a single pack i oh that's upside down i would not have been able to cover both sides of the waterfall i would have been able to cover the front like so where i've just got the strips and i would have been able to cover the backs completely so when i'm done i'm going to show you [Music] what it would look like if you only did one pack and what it's going to look like if you use two packs which is what i did and then i'll also show you what's left over which is not handy right now i was going to try to pull it in but it's cross room part of the reason it takes so much so much paper to cover the waterfall is the waterfall is four and a half by six and a half and the packs i'm using are eight by eight so um you can only get one panel um per eight by eight because unless you had a really large margin um which is not my thing so if you wanted to do quarter inch margins you could cover the front and back with one pack but to me that's just too much card stock showing around the designer paper but it's way it's a way to make it stretch for sure and the paper the um this craft card stock that that's the book is made out of is very thick it's over 110 it's very heavy so you could go with a quarter inch border and not worry about it being too flimsy on the edges if you wanted to [Music] oh that's not the right size it's too small it came out of the wrong pile so you know what i'm not gonna go back and do this but i just realized that these last two i put on without inking i hate that so you can see the white core but we're going to leave it be i'll try to remember to do the rest good morning nola nola's making an appearance i think she just had breakfast i woke her up early this morning because i wanted to get some work done before my air conditioners came on so i got started early this morning she was not having it she stayed in bed for a while so i'm gonna have to add a little more glue the magnets are super strong but they're very thick too hold that in place for a second okay so as far as just using a single pack the the fronts would look like this the backs would be covered so because i'm using two packs i'm going to come back and cover the rest of this flap okay so let's go ahead and do that oh you know what i'm missing a i'm missing one you know what it looks like this one was supposed to go there and over trimmed it so i'm gonna have to find another piece to go cute i skipped a page that's all right let's see one two three four five five and i've got six of these okay so these are going to go in just like so and it looks like i need to trim these down just a tiny bit more so i'm going to go away and do that and then we'll lay these in well actually let's go ahead and do the um the strap and i just laid this down and traced it and then cut it out by hand yeah okay i'm gonna do blue on one side and pink on the other this you're gonna have to hold in place for a second because that magnet is so fat [Music] okay so pink they center this magnet a little better so hopefully the paper will stay down i don't know what strength that magnet is but it's the um the piece that they put over it to cover it is like chipboard so it's going all the way through that i'm just amazed it's super strong and the magnets that i use don't definitely don't go through chipboard okay i'm going to put a clip in there we go let it dry okay now let's go ahead and lay in the b side here first thing i'm going to do is lay this down after i ink it [Laughter] uh oops okay so ladies out and kind of yeah okay i think i'm gonna go back and forth with my design um so i'll do clouds then i'll do the second pattern then clouds the second pattern just go back and forth okay let me use this one so then we got the clouds again so in the pack you get 20 sheets 10 patterns two of each and like i said i went ahead and opened up a second pack so that i could cover both sides of my waterfall which i think just gives it a more finished look but depends on what size photo you're going to put on here i mean if your photo fills the whole page then not a big deal but if you think you're going to have some border around it i think it looks better to finish the page and like i said the flap size itself is four and a half by six and a half so it's designed to have a border around a four by six standard for photo so okay here's our last one i want to make sure you get glue all the way around that magnet and ink on our panel so from a design perspective what i did was i covered all my major surfaces first so the um outside of the album this large pocket page and the inside liner here and then i came back with the paper that was left and decided what i was going to do with the waterfalls if you start with the waterfalls you're going to really limit what you can do with your covers so you might want to do your covers first you might want to think that through so there we go so again that's what it would look like um if we just used one 8x8 and i forgot to i need to glue this down this is a strip that was trimmed off just another piece so i think it's actually part of it is it's part of this i had to trim a little bit off because this is about seven by seven so i wound up taking a little bit off the eight inches and i used it right here and you can actually see the the pattern continues okay so that's in so um let's go ahead and finish the waterfalls and then i went ahead and because i opened the second pack i had additional paper that i could use to cover some of the graphic 45 tags okay these need to be trimmed just a little bit and i need to find another piece to go right here so it looks like i had this and it was over trimmed so boom let's see that's what is that that's probably that's not a quarter inch maybe it is if it is i'll just show you what a quarter six and a half six okay so this is over a quarter inch border so that's what it would look like as opposed to this if you wanted to cut your pieces in half at four inches that's roughly what it would look like so it's a lot of border it's not my thing but you could definitely do it and then you could get away easily with one pack because you could cover each one of these waterfalls with a single sheet front and back okay i am going to go trim these and locate um another coordinating piece of paper to go right here be back in a minute okay i found um another piece i guess i just i had enough of the paper i just um didn't get it cut i guess last night when i was trying to get everything cued up for video today okay this can go here okay now i am going to take a break and go trim these off just a little bit and i'll show you what i mean so they're too close to the hinge area so these will all need to be trimmed just a little bit and because this is a half inch and this is four and a half overall i was able to cut these panels in half at four and i still need to trim a little bit off so for the front you can get um two panels covered per sheet for the back it's only one one sheet okay i've trimmed everything out we're ready to go ready to go so now these fit on here just perfect so [Music] uh ah so uh there we go so that is from the back of that waterfall now we'll do this side and i think i've got everything inked and ready these will go in in no time so i'm gonna check these real quick six six and three eighths that's right wow so [Music] and then we've got just a couple extra sheets left because i cut six instead of five because i forgot the side was already covered that's that so let's take a look at this now so the pocket page closes first then this closes then this closes so we are getting there so the next thing [Music] is the pocket so i've got these tags lined up hmm [Music] i thought those were very pretty and of course i'm using the graphic 45 tags and the graphic 45 tag die i was not a fan of their tags until they came out with the tag die because i didn't like having that top of the tag oops yeah that's right having to hand cut the top of the tag was just so difficult um this makes them go really fast and they look super neat i think they look very cool so i've got a couple of tags the last last thing is an insert so i have to tell you i learned something i originally i was going to just leave this as a rectangle and not cut the notch out normally i would slip slip it inside the pocket trace it and then cut it out well they've glued the pocket closed on this side so it's a half inch narrower on this side than it is on this side so you can't whatever you're putting on the outside won't fit on the inside so i decided to notch it after i put my paper on and i would not recommend doing that i had a hard time getting a good cut for a couple of reasons one it was very thick but the other reason is my punch i couldn't hold it straight because this page is actually attached right so i was trying to hold my punch and punch and it kept slip slipping around on me so if you are going to punch a hole i recommend that or punch a curve do it before you install your paper and i guess one of the things that you could do is you could create a template just with a strip of paper run it in here and just know if you're all the way at the edge when you line it up with your designer paper that you want to go all the way you know match the edge on this side not this side because like i said it comes in and it's glued down to the hinge um at least a quarter inch but it may be as much as a half inch so you can't get it in straight so lesson learned um it's i'm still okay with it i'm probably going to come back with a curved scissor and clean that up a little bit and then ink the edges so it's less obvious but again i would punch it before you install it or just leave it a rectangle so the last thing i need to do is put an insert in this pocket i'll be right back and i'll show you what i mean that it's not the right it's not the same width as soon as i cut this paper i think it needs to be right about here so you can so that's probably not going to be narrow enough i'm going to try it though yeah it needs to be even narrower [Music] okay and for this insert i'm not going to card stock back it i don't have card stock that matches perfectly if i did i would um i'm just going to ink the edges and put it in as as is and by the way it is very rigid so you could easily do that not have to worry about it being too flimsy with the edges and what did i do i did six and a half six and a half by seven six and a half by seven and that's gonna fit so and it's snug so it is it does come in uh probably over a little bit a little more than half an inch in fact it's too snug i'm gonna take even more off i'm gonna make it uh six by seven six by seven and that way it'll just slide in smoothly and you have to work so hard on it there we go much better okay and it's just gonna stick out you can trim that off if you want i think they did the same thing down here it's glued closed instead of having a a gusset or a hinge so that's it so let's go ahead and look at the whole book from start to finish so here is the cover okay and i've used elements from the die cuts and i have lots of die cuts left to decorate the inside which i may do i'm not sure i'm running out of time i'm trying to get two projects out this week um but you have lots that you can add to the pages okay these are the two graphic 45 tags so the one thing i did note is and i think this is a design flaw frankly is the magnet is actually underneath this so the magnet has to pass through from the back of the book through this pocket through whatever's in the pocket i don't think it's actually it would have been better if the magnet was actually on top and then when whatever you put in the pocket wouldn't be interfering with um adhesion to the other side and i can't really tell i'd have to deconstruct it to feel it so if you put something in the pocket just try not to push it all the way over the magnet so there's uh one side and then we've got our pocket here and then our waterfall on both sides and then oops sorry can't get it together there it is a nice book though i gotta tell you it feels really oh i forgot to put my strip on the outside so we still have two more things to do they already cut i just uh didn't install them so this is just a piece left over from one of the other pages it's going to go on the hinge here and that's going to go on the other side and that is it for the passages graphic 45 folio album i like it i would definitely do it again it's different for me because i whenever i decorate a waterfall i usually install the designer paper and then add um is that the right size yes it is and then add my waterfalls on top of it so there's the background there's designer paper so this is already done for you so it's a little bit different so you wind up with a more card stock showing and i'm fine with that it's just different and what i mean by that is like around here so if i had built this there would have been a mat underneath it and same for this side i'm okay with it i keep forgetting that has to go first there we go it's lovely nice nice okay thanks everybody for tuning in that's it for this folio i'll be back soon with another project bye-bye	Scrap N Create	UC14vI78QfNWyfvV4FfVOWgw	2021-06-19	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	6,697	32,127
DaeiFzNvfp8	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaeiFzNvfp8	Introductory Fluid Mechanics L14 p2 - Buckingham Pi Theorem	confession confession confession confession so we're talking about experiments and experimentation and fluid mechanics and we're looking at a technique that makes our experiments more efficient and this technique is referred to well we begin with the theorem but Buckingham PI theorem and it's named after Buckingham who developed this in the early 1900s and he came up with PI parameters and that's why we call it Buckingham PI so what we're going to do in this segment is we're going to present the theorem and the methodology behind it and then in the next segment we'll go through the step by step procedure and then we'll work some example problems so what the Buckingham PI technique does or method is it provides us with a way of finding non-dimensional parameters for a given experiment we talked about the sphere in the last segment what Buckingham PI will enable us to do is determine how the different variables and we talked about force we talked about velocity diameter density and viscosity how can we combine these together into non-dimensional variables that help us collapse the data and I talked about collapsing data from a PI parameter one to a PI parameter two you might have more than just two PI parameters but if you could collapse your data into a line or it could be a curve or anything like that that is good because then that relationship then can characterize many many experiments and as engineers we like having that so what we're going to do we're going to begin kind of with a generic type of scenario where we have some functional relationship so imagine we have a scenario where we have a number of parameters and we can have parameter one which we will call our dependent parameter and then the independent parameter is Q 2 through Q and minus one so let's imagine we have that scenario or we could rewrite that in the following manner so you could write that as another functional relationship yet to be determined let's assume that we have a scenario where we have all these different parameters one through and one of them is dependent the others are independent looking at the PI theorem Buckingham PI theorem so what the PI theorem says that our n parameters can be grouped into n minus and independent PI groups where we could rewrite that function with a new function now so n was the number of parameters that we had I haven't defined em yet but I will in a moment or this could be rewritten with one of our PI parameters on the left so the we have this relationship that exists now N and M let's define those so remember and was characterizing a number of dependent and independent parameters or variables we have and in the example we're looking Q 1 all the way up to Q and and M is the minimum number of dimensions required to characterize those parameters or variables so by dimensions we mean length mass time temperature if you have non isothermal scenarios so we have these functions and the thing that is different from what we're looking at here from this function even so when we look at this function this had all dimensional variables so that that's those have dimensions those have dimensions but when we come to the PI groupings and so let's look at this one these PI groupings are all non dimensional so they all have units of one and and so that's the difference what we've done is we've collapsed all the variables in our experiment into these PI groups and so we say that there can be n minus M of these PI groups so let's take a look at that now one thing to note about the Buckingham PI technique it will not tell us the functional relationship in order to get that we need to conduct experiments so when we have these non-dimensional PI groups we will not know the relationship we need to get their relationship from experiments and the other thing is that if you take PI parameters and combine them together they will not generate a new PI parameter they need to be independent of one another so let's take a look at that so if we had PI groups and we tried to recombine them like this thinking that we're coming up with new PI groups PI 5 PI 6 were not PI 5 + pi/6 are not independent because they can be formulated by combinations of other non-dimensional PI groups and consequently we cannot call them new PI parameters so all PI groups need to be independent of one another ok so what we're talking about here taking a lot of different parameters scaling them down collapsing them into these non-dimensional groups what we will do next is take a look at how to put this all together and we'll look at the technique first and then we'll look at some example problems involving doing Buckingham PI analysis	Ron Hugo	UCrRKDc1uHcif575CQexIA5Q	2015-08-01	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	848	4,674
Zm9fVhEEPI0	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm9fVhEEPI0	LSA & Fordham University Student Research Collaboration Project	so thank you all so much for joining us this evening and as many of you already know i know so many of you have been in and out of partnership and conversation with us throughout this past year but tonight is one of the really important milestones in the research project that we at fordham university have been conducting this academic year in partnership with lsa so we've been generously sponsored by a grant from fordham center for community engaged learning thank you julie she may not be here yet but um julie gaffney has helped facilitate that grant and she i think will be here at some point this evening and we had funding this year to support a small team of faculty myself dr carrie caston and dr larry farmer and a small group of graduate and undergraduate students all of whom you'll meet tonight we've been researching lsa particularly conducting interviews with some long-standing staff members and clients who had been involved in the parent-child child development program many years ago some as many as 20 years ago and with the help of inginia garcia a former staff member at lsa um we tracked down about 18 families and interviewed them all in spanish thanks to the skills of our faculty and students hoping to learn about the role that lsa played in their lives so many years ago when they first came to the united states where they engaged services what happened to them subsequently um and in english also several of our students interviewed some long-standing fast staff members board members and we wanted to learn about the longer history of lsa's work its mission its animating spirit its effectiveness and the students and faculty also researched some of lsa's archival materials so really old articles published by um people many of who are on the zoom tonight published by former staff members current staff members old newspaper articles even things from the new york times and in other kind of catholic presses just helping us put the story together about the work of lsa and its presence in east harlem and we're going to hear tonight about the students the students impressions of what they have learned and one of the things that we'll hear about tonight is one of as we met over the course of this year about what we're hearing from the former clients and what we're learning from the archives and from the staff we were trying to think of what might be like a through line and a red thread that might help kind of thematize or put into a narrative the story of the work of lsa what might kind of thread these stories together what st what themes highlight and one of the themes that we've chosen to highlight is this theme of um what has been called in much of the lsa literature mutuality sort of this animating spirit of mutuality um based on a model of lsa staff being in relationship relationships of mutuality with the families they serve a model of service but also crucially empowerment and so we asked you know what does this model of mutuality look like on the ground when is mutuality effective what kind of model of community service solidarity justice look like and our hopes was we might put together and we will be putting together an academic article that might help really coherently tell the story of lsa and tonight's presentations are the students efforts to articulate to us what they learned about lsa and mutuality in the course of their research and tonight's presentations are the first time really that the faculty on the research team are really hearing from their research so this after tonight really culminates the students contributions to the project and after this um they will be done we have some students graduating from the school of social work from undergraduate programs at fordham and so this is sort of the culmination of the students of the students contribution and then over the summer the faculty will use their um use their research to um write an article and so they will each of the students will present for five minutes and then we will have a really brief period where the faculty will respond and then we'll be so excited to open it up to the lsa community to hear your feedback what you think was interesting you know we're still in kind of draft workshop mode here and so we really look forward to hearing from you and then dr kerry caston will offer some concluding reflections so um i will begin by turning it over to our first student rosanna conforme who's a graduate student in the school of social work so um rosanna thank you so much for starting us off and jose i got your powerpoint do you want me to share now you just give me instructions and you can share it now and i will guide you when to change it okay so hello everyone um good evening and also like a happy spring nice weather outside um so i just want to start by just talking a little bit about my reflections um and how i saw this project and really end um with sort of the similar sort of the similar um things that i want to say around the organization itself so i myself have been in the nonprofit world for over 20 years and it's really been amazing to see um some of the work that lsa has done and the tremendous impact the organization has had on the families it serves as a first generation immigrant and indigenous latina i was moved i was really moved to see the work that lsa has done for members of my community as a person who lives half her life in impoverished neighborhoods i even appreciate more your instinct your extensive work in addressing intergenerational poverty i do find it crucial for community-based organizations like lsa to address and really support poverty alleviation work itself and so that that way we can try to shift the narratives for children who grow up in these environments and to also reduce the long-term impact that intergenerational poverty can have on children all that to say is that i think lsa is doing such an influential work um in every single level i have completely been inspired and humbled quite frankly in being able to interview a few of the families read the transcripts and really just bear witness to their stories their hardships their resilience and their strength all this was very powerful to me their narratives were definitely filled with tremendous gratitude many of them expressing deep appreciation for the support lsa provided them particularly during very difficult times as i became more immersed in the project itself i started connecting the family stories to the mission to the work of lsa and i found a few things that i wanted to share with you today um next slide first of all is the view are you guys seeing the full screen because i'm seeing a bunch of notes and stuff you're on mute brenna if by full screen you mean uh different identities with a person and different uh things coming off we're good and then next to that is the next slide intersectionality and much smaller yeah okay yeah we see it okay okay perfect okay thank you um so first of all i observed that these families had intersecting identities of class status education language culture and gender just to name a few many of the mothers we spoke to had different citizenship and immigration status many of them had less than high school educations they were seemingly working poor a working class were not working at all many of them really made a comparison between education opportunities in this country and the barriers that to education that exist in their countries as well including how poverty and gender further impacted these opportunities especially for women so the survey participants really saw the need for intergenerational mobility and this influence sort of their decisions to migrate to this country and allow them to strongly encourage the importance of education to their children the next slide the surveys themselves were impactful roads to these families lived experiences and deeply highlighted their intersectionality of poverty housing education and gender and its impact on marginalized communities again this is only a few of the intersections that i identified there are many more next slide overall the survey participants talked about the struggles with access to food health care employment and housing and economic sustainability some of the homes were single parent households some were experiencing some form of domestic violence while others were going through some immigration or court process again these were definitely themes that i picked up i know there was there's a lot more but because of the limited time i want to concentrate on highlighting the overarching intersecting inequalities i'm sorry inequities that lsa has addressed for the programming and particularly to the programming that the participants accessed and named during the interviews next slide so first of all lsa really took a strong role to improve food security um a lot of the survey participants talked about food insecurity and share that lsa helped them get access to food by providing them with pantries and food distribution and some of them talked about even being helped during the times of covert when they necessarily didn't have any food and they were not working um next slide lsa took also a lot of a leading role in addressing educational justice many of the survey participants talked about lsa lsa connecting them to educational programs for their children um holding after school programs and tutoring which their children many of them attended they talked about their college readiness that they were provided with english classes and sometimes as well gde courses for them to attend next slide lsa was also involved in health justice survey participants share that they were given health referrals that they were connected to health care facilities and they were provided with reproductive health services and for some families um they highlighted that they were referred to or they were given speech and physical therapy particularly their children next slide um lsa was also involved in healing justice um many of the participants also shared that they were able to access lsa's counseling services which were both culturally affirming and trauma-informed so they were very happy about some of many of the services as i'm hiring here as some of the services that they really were able to access from lsa next slide many of the participants shared that lsa foster supportive parenting they talked about how lsa empowered them by teaching them to be better parents and how the home visits and parenting groups helped them attain more tools and create community they felt that this helped shift intergenerational patterns of parenting and through that change it helped them increase and strengthen their communication and relationship with their children next slide this was very exciting for me to see the ways the organization has addressed systemic issues that impact marginalized communities these surveys um i can say really showcase how lsa is heavily involved in and committed to all these movements and practices while also taking a holistic and trauma-informed approach and service delivery next slide i also was very very very um i think it was an admiration that i felt the fact that the organization was able to incorporate the concept of self-determination mutuality and the three-phase model in the programming as a service provider is very powerful for me to see as well next slide as i mentioned earlier throughout the service there was a lot of sharing of gratitude appreciation and admiration of lsa and for the people they worked with so i'm here are some quotes um that is being shared on the screen that were shared by many of the participants um as you can see until lsa changed their lives and had a tremendous impact on on the clients that that was served from through this organization um next slide and this is my final slide it's been truly an honor to be part of this project and to get to know lsa to see the deep connection between lsa and his community and the powerful impact that i saw um just knowing about this organization just now during this project and also just by the conversations i've had with the members and the participants um the powerful impact that you're having in addressing social issues and social problems within this community is very important and crucial and i congratulate you all thank you [Music] thank you so much rosanna thank you very much for the beautiful slides especially but i love the quotes on the slides but we will keep going um uh next we have uh dita also from the school of social work dida de broshi thank you rosanna you know what deed i think you're still muted there you go thank you so much so i want to begin again like rosanna thanking you for giving me the opportunity to work in this project with everyone i really enjoyed learning what lsa means to immigrant families being an immigrant myself i really would like a program like lsa for myself and my family especially in the beginnings of immigration because those are so crucial crucial critical years and the way that you develop during those years can really conv especially the children can really impact your future so the three-phase model sister suzanne and sister margaret described mutuality as quote really saying that we're all in this together the three phrase model you help families you help to find respond to the crisis you help them get access to the needs and programs etc what they need in order to improve their life and this is what i found of lsa they really help families through the programs and through advocacy and the the help of the family it's like it's a holistic approach and it's not only the individual it's not only the mother it's not only the the woman the but it's the whole family and as the family is strengthened communities strengthen and society is strengthened loretta t truly felt that quote we were all in this together as she describes a coexistence she reports that the sisters always saw that her and her family's needs were met and the help would improve their life the english classes were very important throughout the interviews english you know english is my third language i understand how important it is to communicate and as you communicate you get accepted into society and it's part of the culture as you learn english english you become part of the larger culture part of community and elizabeth c says right because i don't know people it was from work to home there i started with les hermanitas who were giving english classes i started learning all that then my daughter started going to school i went to my english classes with lesser menitas and that's where i learned to grow after the first level i met people second level third level when i needed something more they told me you have to go somewhere else and she got referred somewhere else and learned english and was able to integrate not only were the women and the mothers educated through english but the children were educated it was very important that they reached their potential that they reached their goals that they go to college if they go to universities that they go to good high schools and claudia v describes thanks also to education when my son entered high school before and the sisters there was a person named martha she's the one who helped a lot helped many families get into many schools very good catholic schools for boys for girls i was fortunate that my son entered one of those schools and that of the programs that's best they had thankfully my son qualified he finished his high school there at the school and then went on to his university so you can see that claudia's example her children went on to university and went on to being able to be successful and integrated people in the community there's also the parenting program or the mothers program which is very important because as an immigrant you usually come by yourself or your nuclear family and you don't have your mom or your grandmother to help you breastfeed for example show you how to change your diaper and lsa steps right in with the mothering program we're with the parenting program claudia v describes i went to the program because it was there for pregnant women and for those with babies i went to the program for instruction because there they even taught you how to put on the diaper had to breastfeed the baby when the baby was born even the nurse sister susan dally she had a doll that taught you how you were going to clean up the navel to cure the baby that's why it interested me because i was going to be a mother for the first time and it's this mother for the first time concept and a citizen and a person in society and she also worked in the thrift store which gave her economic help and she worked there for 18 years there's also the asthma program maricela describes that the asthma program not only taught them about asthma but they advocated for maricela and they gave them pumps and medication she describes lsa had a program still and they had a lot with medicine sometimes giving us pumps little things are little tips that we need like how to clean our house things like that even let's say there's something wrong in the house they help us because it is hard to know what to do and sometimes the building manager he doesn't he doesn't listen to us but the lsa people will write a letter to the manager then they listen and they explain to us why things like mold is very bad if you have asthma and so many people in our home have it they're very helpful so there was an advocacy for the manager as well so there's an advocacy in the compute in the community and there's a togetherness and uh togetherness and cohesiveness in the community lsa as a family and throughout the interviews like rosanna said there's gratitude as elizabeth says for me i say the love the appreciation of those little sisters the truth they made me feel like family when i needed their help maricela says yes very close friends that maybe sometimes you don't think about it but when you're going through hard things you look at it and you're like wow these are really really friends they're really here for us i feel like those are the people that have been very helpful and are just giving us a helping hand whenever we need it so lsa really has the pulse on the community they give them what is needed and what is needed that's long-lasting it's good for the individual for the family and for the community and society as a whole and that concludes my presentation thank thank you deeta thank you so much for all those lovely quotes from the interviews thank you so much dida uh wonderful well we will keep moving along and i'm sure you're thinking of um questions and comments so we'll save those to the end and we will move now to melinda thank you hi everyone um thank you so much for coming um i'm using two different audios because or to a video and audio because i don't trust my internet tonight so um thank you so much for coming out and i as i'm looking across the screen i'm seeing you know the the older generation meeting the newer generation and vice versa and i think this is like the best thing ever to bridge between those two um on such an important topic so i'm going to go ahead and share my screen i did a presentation for the um cars research program symposium a few weeks ago and so i've had this presentation available and i wanted to share it with you as well so as a msw student i've been working with dr farmer this year as a research assistant and um when i had the opportunity to join this project i was really excited because um it's not only a um a social service agency but it's also a historical look at the impact that it's had here in east harlem in new york so in the beginning when we started the project there was this question presented of what makes lsa so special and as we started asking questions and looking at the information and um talking to families the theme of mutuality came up a lot and so we started looking at that in more depth with the power with relational model of care and we really saw it being infused into the fiber of the partnerships across the board really that it started out early on and you know continues even still today um i did for the presentation i did a video um i don't trust my internet to play this well so i'm sorry i'm not going to be able to play that but it's um the lsa of yesterday and today video that um highlighted it's on youtube i can pop the link in the chat as well but it highlighted the beginning stages of lsa and then where it grew into today starting with this older building on on the left side and now the new building on the right side um the interdisciplinary study has been really fascinating we brought together the school of arts and sciences and social services to look at these different topics that came up the um [Music] the research um study itself we started working with 40 families and tried to do interviews with the staff and all of the different families i myself worked mostly with the staff i actually did not interview any of the families themselves but i had the privilege of interviewing gail norman and ralph uh uh siciliano and lorraine tierney as well so it's good to see gail and lorraine here on the call as well i thought it was really fascinating the three-phase model where um lsa was really trying to get access to resources and training and education for the families being able to provide access and then educating them on all of the different things that they were going to need to thrive here in the city and then also to be able to help them train someone else following i thought that was a fantastic model that's easily replicable and able to you know be used well into the future that was one of the things that i took away from the study was that not only is it a catalyst for change the the theme of mutuality and the three-phase model but also what i saw it was also as a bridge um first for social change as well um because i was interviewing staff particularly ralph as a board member i thought it was interesting to see how we could bridge um through events whether it be volunteering or whatnot where staff and faculty could could even work alongside the families as well and things like that um i think that the three-phase model would really lend itself well to that and um could be something really great to use in the future as well but i think it's a good it's a good organizational quality that can be used for other organizations across the country especially in working with immigrant populations so that is the end of my presentation and thank you all for listening thank you so much melinda thank you very much we'll have to uh check out your youtube video if you put it in the chat but thank you very much that was wonderful to hear from you um and so we will keep going down we now have maddie and maddie is an undergraduate student at fordham's lincoln center campus the last three students were at our school of social work graduate students so thank you so much maddie welcome okay sorry that took a little bit to come up hello everyone it's an honor to be here thank you so much to everyone in attendance working on this project this entire academic year has been truly an honor learning about the approach of lsa and the lasting impact that it has had on families in east harlem has been incredible so this academic year as you know from from what the other students have already said we the group of faculty and students with a comprehensive interview question packet um we're able to speak with immigrant families residing in east harlem particularly um immigrant women and that's who i am going to be focusing on i didn't really um interview the staff but um the themes that we analyzed with these interviews and um in examining the impact that lsa has had on these families um is mutuality the three-phase model and community health um so i found that these approaches were extremely significant because the immigrant woman in particular is um someone in society who is often silenced who um does not have her voice amplified but in hearing directly from them um it was incredible to see how they have been empowered by the organization so some things that i noticed through my interviewing and then through analyzing the data have been sustained relationships um so not any kind of superficial um like here is one service and we'll send you on your way lsa sustains relationships with its clients which is extremely important and leads to that that value of mutuality which is um which is uh dependence on one another togetherness unity and the importance of support in solidarity um additionally they lsa has a comprehensive and all-encompassing approach um to all of their work i'll go into some programs that stood out that many clients mentioned in a moment but um a common uh sentiment that many expressed was the fact that any question they had any doubt they had was answered by someone from lsa if they went to if they went to them asking their question or having any kind of need it was delivered upon whether it was that staff member who knew the answer or they found another organization or they found a health care service there there's that all-encompassing approach that nothing is off the table um additionally there is empowerment starting with the individual which translates to the future leadership presence of the organization and in the community i'm hearing from one of the clients reyna c um she she has continued working at the food pantry after she attended the food pantry uh a few a few years ago so that relationship is sustained and then another theme that i recognize is the fact that um from early childhood from pregnancy to birth to uh middle school high school beyond and everything in between um their support from the organization in um helping the children thrive and helping the community helping the family thrive as well so some programs that stood out in my research and analysis um were the parenting groups many of the clients detailed their apprehension to join um at first as they they felt they felt nervousness and alienation on being all alone in the community and they didn't know if they would um be welcome there but it proved the opposite and they found solidarity and a really um a really great group to turn to for advice and just to know that they're not alone um as well as daycare and early childhood development programs um where many expressed that their children learned music they read them books um and this could all take place at while the parents were attending the parenting groups or while they were at work there was also a huge focus on mental health and therapy both for children and adults as well as for children occupational therapy physical therapy speech therapy um and then on the health side on the physical health side there's there was asthma care um rey was brought up many times in the getting to the root of the issue in apartments many people express their gratitude that when their children suffered from asthma they got rid of the mold in their apartments and everything they had a great support system there and then as well as nursing and health care um continued there were english classes which mothers expressed was very helpful in their helping their children with their homework um most did not come to the u.s with any english skills so they expressed that those classes were very beneficial for them um computer classes as well which also helped with their helping our children and then access to education many of the women i spoke to continue their education um receiving uh receiving certificates in teaching and finishing their high school education and then also community events and activities like specifically the community garden um a client elvira that i spoke to um said that this was quite enjoyable for her and her children as they grew food they got to see the fruits of their labor and they got to connect with other families in the community which i thought was quite significant because um because it shows that mutuality is not just lsa's approach from staff to client but it's also cultivated cultivated through client relationships with other families and forming um forming those strong friendships and other supports to lean on and maintaining relationships and community leadership i also um already spoke about how one client now works at the food pantry and there is another who is employed at um a thrift shop what helped to find that work through lsa um and there's also the the concept of just the cultivation of trust and um the complete uh the complete dedication to the whole family um to the fact that when the individual thrives the community thrives and as i said before it's not a superficial approach but it's nuanced and profound and with that individualized attention families have expressed such change that they saw in their lives and such positive impact from the organization that um that will not soon be forgotten so to hear from all these women and to analyze all of this data has been quite humbling as rosanna said i agree i'm very honored to have been involved and thank you so much for listening thank you so much maddie thank you very much for sharing um wonderful well we have two more student presentations until we open it up to very brief faculty responses and then open it up to q a and we have our two carlos's so let's begin with carlos oh who is graduating from undergrad tomorrow and hosting his a very large peruvian extended family in new york city this week so carlos it's amazing you're here with us considering what's happening for you this week so thank you so much carlos no thank you everyone for having me for having given me the opportunity to be part of this amazing project um okay so i'm gonna share my screen one second let's see can you see it there perfect okay well so i use this presentation as well to present out of the undergraduate research symposium two weeks ago sort of just wrapping up in the conclusion of the project and i wanted to focus a lot on the concept that we kept from seeing very recurrent throughout our interviews and our research that was this concept that lsa calls mutuality and how that sort of explores their approach to how they do service and how they live their own spirituality um so the concept of maternity as it has been defined by the research and by nsa is a power with relational model of care that aims to foster a sense of self-worth agency and confidence in both the family served and the lsa staff in other words it's just not the concept of serving the family or helping them in whatever need they might have but it's more in a mutual relationship in which both the staff of lsa is helping the family but it's not just helping them is helping the family to help themself and this is a key aspect that wraps up the whole idea of the service model that lsa has with these families so we did 18 interviews with lsa programs former participants or the clients and then we also did a seven interviews to several nsa staff members and to sort of explore the concept of mutuality i wanted to highlight um four quotes from four different interviews one of them from a staff member and three of them from clients that i will then sort of analyze to try to explain a little bit more of this concept of mutuality and how it's vital and present and all of the work that lsa does so the first one is it came from the interview that we did with sister senator margaret and they they said it quite accurately mutuality is really saying that we're all in this together how do you lift up their voices of families themselves so that they express the need so they can impact the change and that's that's a key concept that it's not just a model of service to the people that you're helping and that you're working with but it's more than coming up with this model to strengthen their dignity and just humanize them as people that are also struggling within this process but helping them for them to lift their voice and to understand and learn how to help themselves not only for them but for their families for their children and at the end of the day for their community which is what is most important with this kind of of service models then this i took from an interview from elevator contre contreras a former client from nsa and she said he had visited me at home she read him him referring to her son the little books she called she talked to him taught me how i could start to educate him she really helped me a lot everything she taught me belief that all families and little sisters have touched have been influenced that they were going to be someone in life and this just really explores how the concept of maternity and highlighting their their dignity as a human person actually gave them hope gave them hope to continue for them for their family and just as she was saying to to be someone in life not necessarily only for them but throughout all the stories that we hear about them helping educate these children and getting them scholarships putting them through high school putting them through college and making them really successful professionals it just highlights this concept that they were working under then reina another client she said she her daughter was afraid of everything and thank god i found the little sisters they have been a great support for me in any little thing that i didn't know i used to be afraid of everything asking for help asking for anything they told me no don't be afraid we're going to help you they always helped me they accompanied me to places i had to seek help for my children they helped me a lot to this day i participated helping them in free time and that last sentence of our quote was another key element that we kept on seeing recurrent in all of the interviews there was the concept of mutuality just really made them be an active participant in the process of change and is with just a recurrent fact that most of the clients that were helped at some point but lsa would come up eventually back to where they say as workers to participate helping others in the programs so it's very a cyclical model in which it's just not we are here to serve you and help you out but it's more we're here to help you help yourself and then because we're very ingrained in the values of this community which in this case is harlem we encourage you to once you have learned from our service and our help to come back to these programs and help out helping others give back to your community and then it's one of my favorite interviews that was with inelia suarez she said i'm really very grateful to the agency because when one arrives in this country especially the language problem for many people it is a problem unfortunately there were always people who spoke spanish as the little sisters i believe that the people who work there are people i believe who have that human quality and that vocation to do their job and she's referring to one the language barrier in which most of the clients are native spanish speakers a lot of them don't speak english when they come to this country but the other one is it it explains a lot in their service mentality that is they have this humanity and this human quality and this application to serve the community and to show these people that in the face of adversity they still own their humanity and their dignity and to humanize this client not just by the numbers at large but get into their stories get a deep into what their problems are and try to humanize them to help them in whatever way they possibly can so sort of to wrap up revisiting the concept of mutuality this service model that is written in mutuality in which it tries to lift up the voices of the people that is being served based on all the interviews that we did has been extremely successful and it has been applied to all the programs that lsa has been doing just because it is the overall mentality that lsa is using in order to conduct their programs so we kept on asking one of the key questions that was if there is anything that you would like to say to what they say that they should do that they're not doing what would it be and one of the answers they kept on giving was to keep on focusing on the community to help in whatever way they could to not necessarily act by the numbers and in terms of the funding and how many people they could help but morrison help as much as he possibly could that people they were helping because the work that they're making they actually made a long-lasting impact for generations to come in this view in these families and to wrap up with a quota from sister susana chapelle as she said and i think this sort of embodies the work of lsa we're together as we shape the world so everyone has a place to call home thank you thank you so much carlos thank you while you even had the screenshots of the zoom interview so we got to see the faces of some of the people we interviewed thank you carlos so for our final student presentation we have carlos rojas from the school of social work thank you thank you i like the the rest of the student panel um expressed my gratitude this was really a pleasure i am also a first generation immigrant came to the united states with zero english at age nine from colombia so to work in my native language you know was certainly a pleasure and to be able to contribute um is something that you know i feel very uh very special about i don't have um a formal presentation um i feel like my student colleagues covered a lot when it came to um the three-phase model um the concept of mutuality but there will be some things that i'm going to highlight that i felt sort of jumped at me i reviewed a couple of the interviews in spanish um and there were some things that sort of jumped out at me as as as possible themes one of them was in establishing the concept of mutuality i think the work with immigrants is especially challenging particularly coming from latin america because the concept of social services does not exist there in the same way as it does here so getting connected to the services seemed to be something that it came through mutual relations you know in the community as we all know the issue of trust um for immigrants is at a premium so i think that how those issues intersect is something to you know to take into consideration right um because the way we look at social services here in the united states is not the way they're defined you know in latin america and the immigrants that we're working with wouldn't define them as such either so the idea of creating that connection you know initially can be a challenge and it was uh evident in in the interviews um many of the people who came before me mentioned a lot of the concrete services which were evident in the in the interviews that i reviewed um you know food security um help with uh from birth all the way to adulthood with children um tutoring english classes legal services um that all came up in the interviews but what i thought was particularly uh of of was powerful was that in the interviews i reviewed there was an essence of social connection and human connection carlos mentioned that maddie mentioned that so that rosanna this idea that they weren't just clients which goes back to the mutuality topic it was personal connections and it was just a recurrent theme throughout the interviews one of the quotes that came out of the interviews that i reviewed which i thought was particularly poignant you know um one of the interviewees mentioned that uh lsa noted which translates to the lsa will not let you die alone um which i thought was you know a powerful message in one of the other interviews that i reviewed one of the interviewees mentions lsa again going back to this you know concept of human connections they refer to lsa as unrefugio which is a secure refuge which again i think highlights the the personal connection in the sense of you know feeling treated as carlos mentioned as a human being um i think the other part that i wanted to highlight which was also evident in my interviews was that they did in the interviews i reviewed there was an expression of a sense of loss over time although carlos mentioned in in the interviews um that i uh reviewed was also apparent this idea of intergenerational connectedness that you know parents brought the children back for additional support one of the things that i found evident in in my review was that they also in a very nostalgic way sort of look back at the growth with ls with lsa as uh containing a sense of loss that you know some of that those personal connections you know running into the little sisters in the community which would often happen and that was something that they mentioned in the interviews as the agency became more of an agency uh the interviewees described it you know as sort of losing a bit of that connectedness that you know they had grown accustomed to um in their experience so you know i did sort of pick up you know a sense of loss from from the interviewees that uh that whose interviews i reviewed um i feel like that's in terms of the the interviews that i reviewed those are the things that sort of you jumped out at me in addition to uh the stuff that you know my fellow students already have covered um i once again you know thank you for the opportunity um and being able to contribute such a you know important uh piece of work um and yeah i mean it was a complete pleasure to be able to work in this capacity in my native language so i thank you for the opportunity thank you so much carlos thank you so much for um that final student presentation that was wonderful um maybe we can just um unmute and do just a round of applause for rosanna adida melinda maddie carlos oh and carlos are thank you so much um it was just wonderful to hear your reflection so let's just take maybe one minute the faculty members can just respond just really briefly i know the students have heard a lot from us over this year so um i don't feel the need to sit to say a whole lot but i'm just very grateful for the time and care you put into those reflections um but let's start with dr farmer and then dr caston and then i can just say something real brief and then we will open it up for comments and questions yeah well again i i really was um it was a pleasure to kind of hear all of you together kind of your individual reflections and while there was a lot of overlap there was some things that sort of came out uniquely that's that i've heard for the first time even though we've had conversations about um you know what was coming out of the interviews previously and the one thing that one thing that sort of really stuck out to me and and i think i it's one of the things we i'd like to see us maybe dig more deeply into is this idea that mutuality also really supported or addressed sort of the silencing of immigrant women right it gave gave the women you know who were the primary sort of caregivers in terms of who we were interviewing um it really elevated their voice um and elevated their ability to sort of take um a more empowered you know proactive um approach to not only supporting their own development the development of their children and their families um so i really i really found that really interesting to highlight the way in which the the work that's being done by lsa really elevates the voices of these women these immigrant women thanks so much dr farmer uh dr caston yeah no i um would agree i um i think it's interesting the way larry just said it that while there was a lot of overlap there was some new things that came out so just to kind of list some of the things i heard from everybody in different ways was the way that this project resonates with everybody individually um and i i think that's important to mention because of who we are and the work that lsa does right um talked about identity right we all carry these identities our own personal identities as women men immigrants whatever with us in the world and so there were different ways that we we approached this research and i heard that in everybody's um presentations i also um heard a lot of gratitude and so i just wanted to to underscore that um but i will add to what larry just said about um the voices of immigrant women uh the idea of intersectionality was really interesting to me and i also thought the um idea of the of mutuality and the three-phase model as a cyclical model um was really compelling as an idea that um because we talked about this uh the number of women that we interviewed who also came back to the community and continued to come back to this community in different ways in different capacities over a very long you know like a 20-year span and so even that term a cyclical model really resonated with me um and then i will say um the interdisciplinarity of this project that several people brought up was really interesting as a as a listener uh carlos oh quoted an interview that i did and it was it was a little bit moving to hear the quote and to see the picture of an elvia and to remember the moment that we shared together just on a personal level how um moving it it is to be a part of a project that um like your perspective changes right i was a first person participant in that interview and then i got to see that as an outsider and and it uh i've never experienced that before so thank you carlos for that um i'll pass it on to you okay thanks so much carrie i'll just be really brief but students thank you so much for the work that you've done and um this is just giving us so much material to reflect with as we kind of move this into the writing stage over the summer and i think we just without really knowing you know gather this great team of so many of you have first-hand experience with this and themselves you know our spanish speakers or insider outsiders in new york yourselves and that just so made you such more excellent researchers not only you know able to relate to them but able to like be in touch with that part of yourself as you engage with that research so that was just wonderful to see so thank you for putting that out there and for being yourselves um as scholars and researchers and um you know just couple quick things that i was thinking you know one of the things i've been torn with is that the women that we interviewed are so positive about lsa and and so i felt torn like sometimes in intellectual life you think or i have been trained to think that you kind of point out problems you know you kind of point out problems as the more like intellectual angle but what do you do with sources that are so grateful and so positive you know it's like you kind of need another hook or or something but i was kind of thinking you know so i was just kind of thinking about that as either like something we might need to think about like is that potentially like a deference to authority maybe a limitation in the sources or is it something to kind of think with intellectually like well what you know what you know what kind of model does lsa offer of things that actually do work and things that have been moving in the right direction in terms of community service and solidarity and justice in ace harlem so that's just something something that i need to think to think with and i also appreciated larry and cary you pointing out this this notion of the cyclical that after 20 years people coming back to volunteer and i think of some of these what i think of as like inner inner words that we saw so much in the interviews especially those that you put up on the um that dida and carlos put on the screens of things like i didn't have confidence you know i didn't have confidence things that are like about like social life and emotion and how ultimately like that return to lsa to be a volunteer is an expression of agency and more confidence that is reclaimed in the neighborhood after so many years so that's just i think that's just something really interesting to think about but we will do lots more reflection but right now because we're still in the you know draft stage the responses and questions or comments or potential angles um or anything um comments or questions from the lsa staff board members would be so grateful to hear since this is still a work in progress but i mostly want to just really thank you carlos carlos maddie melinda rosanna for your wonderful work this year um but while stop there and open it up and maybe um if you have a question you can um just unmute yourself and and jump in although you know i know at school we often use the blue hands but i know that not everyone knows how to do that um why don't you just if you you can either use your blue hand if you know how to do that um you type in the the reaction but right now my blue hand doesn't turn on and sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't so if you have a question you maybe unmute yourself or you can type in the chat um and i will i'll call on you um i think monica do you have your hand up okay yeah monica and then go ahead monica okay so oh hi um i'm monica i'm the director of mental health services at lsad and i was late um sorry very much by the last stories i'm i'm happy to hear that you know carlos rojas i think he's a colombian i'm also a colombian so you know this is is the first time that i see somebody closing working closely where i am have been working at lsa i have been there for six years and a half and you know everything that you talk about like really connecting with the clients and how deep sometimes the relationships go it's so right on point uh one of the things that has been more amazing is that you know i come to a community with mental health it's you know it's a lot of stigma um and i come you know trying to create or place a program that is eclectic so important i study art therapy and psychology and so i'm doing that and it's really working from processing trauma um and yes the connection is because little sister as an agency really has a connection with the community that goes six years uh you know back so i have clients and sometimes you think about you know i have a client that i actually work with and then the client say you know my mom needs therapy and it's now all the family so it's a really great window to see um not only the resilience of the immigrant community but also that it's people that is engaged and really trying to better themselves in so many ways like getting you know um they are really trying to integrate in this culture so it has been really amazing to be able to do the work of trauma because to do that works you need people to trust what they are and really little sister many clients say to me little sister is my second home if not my only home so thank you so much for doing this it feels i'm kind of like moving very excited to hear all the stories thank you monica thank you so much and you know the trust that these women had um have in lsa enabled us to do these interviews i mean the quality of the interviews and the kind of things they shared with us is so rich so much richer than if we would have just like put an ad you know paid participant i mean this was really like it was like us and then mostly in hinya kind of standing in between us and the clients and it really um you know she was the one who gave us the names of everybody but they all have and you just think of these were women from quite a long time ago but you're doing all of this now and monica i know you're doing incredible work so thank you thank you i have a question for carlos oh sorry before i move he said something about the clients feel nostalgic and feeling that they lost something kind of like in the process of the years i know because you know economical issues many programs for adults close and i wanted to ask you if they say specific what they are nostalgic about it's just they lost like dilution programs for adults um or it's something about the relationship okay yeah go ahead carlos and then read it thanks monica i think it was more related to the relationships i think you know as again and i'm not as familiar with lsa but the way i would sort of equate it is you know some of the growing pains as you go from a small agency right to a larger agency this idea that you're losing personal connections and you know that sort of gets lost in the growth i got the sense that it was more about that more so than than the losing programs thank you rita i i just wanted to first you know i'm just blown away i have to say that first and thank you all so much for undertaking this it is you know in some ways i have to tell you it's wonderfully illuminating in another way it's not surprising at all uh i think that that much of the work you know and i think the little sisters i've been with the sisters of that six years now so all of this goes way way beyond me but i think the little sisters were really innovative in the sense that you know what what you all are describing as the responses from the people you interviewed a lot but you know today you know so what 20 years early or maybe we would call them social determinants of health okay that that's what we are calling them now and that's what funders are calling them now uh you know all of these kind of fundamental things including the disconnectedness is part of those social determinants and so the little sisters have always been you know it's like a rose by any other name um and then i will just to address the issue of um of isolation this is this kind of interesting story i met this was before the pandemic with dr jeremy bohl and jeremy is the president of mount sinai downtown and sinai if israel beth israel and he is also the chief medical officer of the entire mount sinai system uh ray knows him from years ago i think he did part of his residency or part of his public health residency at lsa when he was a young doctor and has remained very attached and when i went to see him and i met him for the first time he said to me one of the really important things about lsa was this sense of community because jeremy bowle described what he said was an epidemic of loneliness and an epidemic of isolation so here we have the chief of medicine of the entire mount sinai system telling me that you know exactly you know what lsa tries to do with the mutuality is sort of precisely what's needed maybe nationwide you know so it was a very interesting it it really struck me as as you described this overwhelming feeling you know of of connectedness so i think that it's both personal loss because you who said that carlos personal loss uh you know as well as uh you know you know some of the the kind of systemic this what's around us what's all around us and obviously this last year you know just like like the pandemic has heightened you know all of the great disparities you know inequities that exist i think this loneliness issue the sense of isolation is one of those issues as well so i just think this is this is remarkable and my first instinct and arthur you know you you will probably reign me in a little bit uh you know would be to send the whole thing to all of our donors because i think this is such a value so valuable you know for for them to hear so i i i'm just blown away and i can't thank you enough thank you so much rita thank you that means a lot to us yeah thank you and you know just speaking just on the pandemic like we all the researchers were in the pandemic too and that it was so we were so tempted of course to give up on this research but honestly this kept us connected to one another and then even connected to something positive it was like there's so much horror in the world this year and then you're kind of interviewing these people and it was really probably zoom made this more possible this year because it wasn't like schlep from queens to east harlem or the bronx or brooklyn you know we're all over it was just on zoom and the clients had zoom mostly on their phone and um it was able to kind of stay connected to something good in the midst of this really tough year so it really i think helped us emotionally this year too kind of sticking with this project so thanks rita um anybody else i know you're on two screens so i hope i'll be able to facilitate the the comments okay but feel free just to to unmute or kind of wave your hand well people are thinking maybe i'll say something that uh you know rita you just asked uh carlos the question about nostalgia right was that rita's question um and i think one of the things we did talk about uh was that some of the clients that we interviewed did mention changes at lsa and i think we've only kind of scratched the surface of um what those changes um are and other people refer to them in their presentations um but some of them are like i think we've learned are city mandated right like um and some of them were institutional changes at lsa but i do think that that's something um that could be interesting for us to explore yeah well it is let me yeah i mean a lot of this of course revolves around funding so in the days when sister judy i know sister margaret you you i i heard this story in the days when sister judy was the e.d and she didn't get enough money from a foundation she would pick up the phone and said you didn't send me enough money you need to send me more money okay so those are the kind of stories you know i've heard but of course we we live in a a very different society and it all kind of got professionalized i think that's some of of how i would put it and so i think that professionalization which was necessary in order to survive in an ever more competitive needful environment with shrinking funding on every side really forced every human service you know uh i think agency into a similar posture because you can't do this kind of work you know you know without the one-on-one human connection uh and make it i mean we did it during the pandemic because we didn't have options and it was certainly better than no no connection but if you're going to do this work and do it effectively you know it takes staff and that takes money and all of the stuff they go so unfortunately you know program gets driven by money we try not to create program just to get money because that's when you get mission drift so we try to create if we're creating or expanding program we try to do it you know with now we're looking at doing not just within the realm of our mission but with under the realm of sort of the five key social determinants of health you know where we're we're looking to to to tweak our programs because we're already doing it mostly so we're so that becomes the overarching the overarching theme so all of these are you know issues today you know as we have grown into a more sectarian agency tried not to lose the spirituality inherit you know in healthy ones you know fellow human being this has been a tricky you know a little bit of a tricky line right yeah absolutely i think that is a you know an interesting tension we can point to you know there's lots of little anecdotes in the interviews i think it was gail was brought up in some of the interviews how she would sometimes even help someone in the neighborhood wake up on time to get to a school interview and you know just that real like you know just neighborhood person to per very very personal approach and that's different from the professionalized approach and gail i see you're hopping back on but did i see gail your hand up earlier i know your camera isn't quite on you but i didn't want to miss you i thought i might have seen your arm up i didn't i didn't have my hand up but i did want to make a comment because i was really incredibly impressed with what came out of the interviews and because of the whole three phase model as well as mutuality that and i know that foundations are looking at systemic change and that's what they want to fund and i feel that if we could tweak what was discovered and we could expand the number of interviews over time that we could show that what lsa is really doing is systemic change because it's recreating this community out of a group of people who are very isolated who then become leaders so that in my thinking is true systemic change yeah gail to address that really quickly that's exactly what we're aiming for you know is to embed research in all of the programs you know so that so that we can multiply you know the you know it becomes a multiplier effect uh so that what we've become basically is an incubator for best practices in the areas of our expertise so one of the things we're looking to do is hire a director of research and policy development in order to put pull together kind of the skeins of research do more and out of that develop best practices uh and policies and give us a seat at the policy table which is where you know where that change starts to happen as well well but i i think there are a group of us looking at what the core values are and i think that those are the ideas that we want to reinforce across all programs all staff so that people who work at little sisters really imbue those core values in the way in which they interact with the idea that we learn as much from our clients as our clients learn from us great gail yeah i absolutely that really resonates with what with what we were thinking about too so we can think about like the genre of this academic piece we have to write but then maybe there's something else we can do that would be more useful shorter for grants molina i saw your hand up melina gonzalez good evening everybody thank you thank you it's an honor to be here with all of you especially those who did the interviews thank you so much for taking the time and have a conversation with all of us i mean as i'm i'm really excited to see so many familiar faces as lorraine jackie sister margaret leonard i mean sister susannster daisy it is because of the mission of the little sisters that are community have continued growing as i mentioned it before we have an extraordinary group of leaders in our community that we need to embrace and that's our clients it's not without the mission and the power to grow and invest and there is um understatement the power of growers and relationships and we have to continue that we have as gail mentioned just right now we have to continue looking our clients and grow with them along with them with them not next to them is along with them i know that a lot of changes are coming into with new administrations when you change it but i think that the respect that they needed that our families deserve is priority right uh as an immigrant woman myself mother of the first generation college graduated my family i think it's been amazing to hear it is amazing to hear that some of you are for a generation and that you understand the need or the communities that they need our children and especially they understand how difficult is for an immigrant family go through the system so on behalf of all of us in our families thank you so much elena your name came up so often in our reflections as sort of the this this incredible an incredible ideal story of lsa you know with your past and then returning to lsa as this incredible leader that was beautiful what you said and i'm so glad we're recording this just that little paragraph you spoke was beautiful molina thank you so much um that's incredible sonia i see your hand sonia is a board member and carlos oh she's zooming in from peru yeah yeah i am peruvian and i a member of the board and i i want to highlight the importance of this study uh brenda you know how much we were interested in having these results and i'm really so happy because we need evidence of our impact and um and i think we we need to show to the board this this study and i want to congratulate the way that you presented um choosing the student to do this um and having the faculties uh i think this is really um very good for lsa and um the the challenge is that the uh funding organizations normally they see numbers more than quality so i i think maybe the idea that gail shared with us about in the future extending the number it will be brilliant because of course it shows a systemic um impact but also for for the the organization that look numbers we can also um have the the two the two angles so that is what i want to say thank you very much to everybody for doing this research your work has been amazing thank you so much sonia i i i think that's um i love the way you put it like we needed some evidence of the work of lsa and i think that's exactly what this this all you know and what was great is that the students on this committee and the inductor farmer and somewhat dr castin like didn't really know a ton about lsa dr caston has partnered with classes but like this all of those stories totally from the ground up those are completely from the interviews themselves so it's totally a kind of a grassroots bottom-up analysis it's purely from the evidence so that was well put sonia um and so i see monica's hand so i'm gonna ask monica and then we just have maybe like four more minutes and then dr caston is going to offer some closing remarks but i wondered after monica if sister suzanne or rey or margaret sister margaret or trish somebody who's you know has been in lsa has those like long decade two decade plus experiences i'll say if there's any comment or question they have i just wanted to like pass the mic over to them um monica but yes go go ahead monica so yeah i i think i wanted to address something that sonya says about you know when you serve families they are for 20 years or for 25 years and i talk about this with you know with other staff members of lsa because sometimes for funding it's kind of like oh really people are staying there alone but what happened is the lsa it's in the small scale is renewing services and it's doing things to really help clients when the next generation comes so in more classes for tcd more helpless for it after school uh you know and so and mental health it's a new program that has been there for six years so if clients come back looking for mental health i think it's a game because they are trusting so much that they wanted to go and really really work and emotional you know self and helping their kids so just that to highlight that that i really like what i think uh what say also is the the voice of women that are empowered one of the presentations that i do is called empowering invisible between womans with sustained trauma so i think it's that it's that these women's are so strong our recipients are it has so much wisdom that it has been an honor and it's really an opportunity to show how immigrant families really come and with the struggles help the kids to go to college or move you know the next generation and we really wanted to do is and the work that he has been doing in mental health is transgenerational trauma how we can really cut that and really help these kids to move out of you know the difficulties even when parents come here with nothing not english not money the kids are able to go to college and i think that's one of the things that has been more admirable about your study so thank you thank you monica so we have time maybe for two more quests two more comments or questions let's say lorraine and then if there's anyone else um i i'm so grateful for uh all of you for for working on this and doing the interviews uh and um for being able to hear it i'm i'm retired from little sisters for 10 years now um but uh it as a sense of mutuality this has this has uh reminded me of the work and it's changed me it's made me feel so listened to this and to feel that my work at little sisters my life work uh was so helpful to the community and to the larger world and i think that that's very uh when people are on staff to know that they're making a contribution that lasts for over generations makes a big difference to being able to sustain the work and having the relationships that are developed help you grow as a staff person forever and it changes you forever and i think that's an important thing to remember and i'm so grateful to everyone to be reminded of all of this at this point tonight oh thank you so much it's so true oh my goodness hearing what they said yeah about you all so it's incredible and and trish i see your hand hi trish um i just want to say thank you brenna what a beautiful blessing that you've brought with research and stories which connect to the real you know the reality of little sisters in east harlem and how as time goes on when you lose you know it can be easy to lose the history and not just the history but the real impact that when you know it's all about the numbers and the who's going to give you money because you have the numbers that this the impact gets lost and so what you have done here is just it's amazing and thank you and thank you to all these you know i'm not as old-timers you know god bless you know all of us old-timers and it's hard to sort of you know keep a voice because that's life things change new people come and but we continue to tell the stories which are real and i want to thank you i want to thank everybody here on this call thank you oh thank you trish and trish was the one that first welcomed me into lsa so really like thanks to trish is like who got me involved in that ended up you know the the impetus for the research and and so many staff people have been so welcoming to us and it's just you know this spirit of mutuality is not just the staff and clients but like includes volunteers and and it is trish you've been such a great part of that for so long so so thank you so much um yeah go ahead sister margaret um to what you said about trish because she has been with us for a number of years and have been such a gift and as so many of the women who have spoken you know i just have so many memories of their life and their commitment over many years and i would like to just simply say thank you to you brenna bunny you've been a real gift to us through this whole process you saw the possibility and you moved ahead on it and expanded it and developed it and we are all so very grateful to you and your commitment and we look forward to a number of possibilities in the future that are going to come forth from from the gift that you and uh and it's nice to i have to say having having graduated from florida many years ago you know it's wonderful to see the commitment of fordham university as well yeah so anyway i just want to say thank you and um we are more than grateful oh thank you so much sister margaret it's so ch and um and i know you know the feeling is so mutual and it has really given us that fordham a a deeper sense of of possibility and purpose about what research can really be about and it's been really a meaningful experience and i think this is a perfect note to to turn the mic over to dr caston and carrie who's going to offer a couple of comments um of reflection as we close and we'll finish up right on time so carrie thank you yeah uh thank thank you everybody i just wanted to i'm going to be really brief but there were three things i just wanted to highlight one is the future plans of this project as we move forward um then i just wanted to talk briefly about uh this project as kind of a model for the future for community engaged learning and then finally uh a final thank you um so uh brennan uh explained that that uh dr farmer dr moore and i are gonna take uh this um the presentations from the students and um information that they're handing in and we're gonna put our heads together over the next couple of months and and work on an academic article um we haven't talked about the partnership with the center for religion and culture who's working with lsa um on uh video and and brent has been been instrumental in in taking those first steps and so that's exciting and and i think it remains to be seen whether it's a promotional video or how lsa wants to use that um but that's exciting and lots of people have mentioned the the room for growth that is here and the room can to conduct more interviews and to take this uh research further and so it's exciting that this really just opened the door to further conversations and um i know we're all kind of uh our heads are spinning from the crazy year that everybody in this zoom has has undertaken this past year and and i think having some time to kind of sit with it some quiet time and then reconnect in the the fall again would be would be great um you know i've been doing community engaged learning for about 10 years at fordham and this is really such a unique experience where uh students and faculty and community partners have come together um in a spirit of sharing and working together uh mutuality if you will um uh in a way that's really exciting and then i've never seen before and and i i think that again it's just uh potentially the beginning of something bigger but this idea of doing research together and really learning from each other um is is new for all of us here and and i think that we really learned so much from this experience and look forward to where it can take us in the future and then everybody has said thank you tonight but i do just want to underscore um the sense of gratitude that i think uh all of us at fordham feel to lsa for really opening the doors to us uh i think uh the clients the women we interviewed really put themselves in a vulnerable position and shared so much information and really trusted us with um their life stories and and the fact that they did that speaks volumes to how they feel about their relationship with lsa and and um what you all have done for them it was a real privilege to hear their stories and to spend time with them um and so thank you for giving us that opportunity and and just to acknowledge the work that you do um one more time so thanks everybody it is 7 30 on the dot um i don't know if anybody uh has anything else but if not maybe we can all just unmute and say goodbye and thank you so much and that will we will be in touch thank you so much thank you so much thank you thank you so much everybody everybody thank you so much thank you thank you good night thank you thank you see ya bye excellent presentations yeah they did a great job yeah they did they did excellent yeah brandon you hit another home run for us i don't know how to thank you yeah thank you dr farmer and and and cat reniston on screen for us this is the second time what in in 10 days or so and and last week she hosted a donor and partner update for us which was fascinating because you know she talked a little bit of course about the the history of progressive catholicism and then of course you know more about well how say grew from that so it is just it's it's wonderful i love it and and you know what we really want to be able to do is share what we know and and this is an interesting tidbit for both of you as well i was at hud a couple of years ago because we were doing something with the mailman school it was a national study with hud that was looking at asthma triggers in the home nationwide so i met with these guys at hud that were sort of in charge of that division and they said that our access to the people that we serve in this population is something that researchers all over the country are like drooling for because the distrust of the large institutions you know is so profound that you know that this access that we have is is quite extraordinary and you know i have to say the way i always do it's the people on the ground it's the front line folks you know it's it's the people you know i talk about the inequities you know so it's the people on the front line that really put themselves out you know in in somebody once said to me sister judy used to know the name of every client and i thought if i had to know the name of every client at this point i'd throw myself out the window so you know it's just a fascinating look you know at how does an organization evolve and grow while keeping this personal connection you know and and and resisting mission drift in pursuit of dollars yeah i think it's a really tough yeah that's a key a key question we'll pursue in our writing so so yeah yeah carrie and thanks larry and thank you everybody	LSA Family Health Service	UC2V3fIIxmBThkPGwbLwOR-Q	2021-06-01	Creative Commons

finally got services under stories are terrible I think that we need to find therapies therapies that help our stop because when you become and they tell us the stories that they have hearing from these children they are very terrible what I think that there were many movement and our our lives and other may be here is kill the resistance again against these purposes of this guy that is in power I hope that the same win in the next elections and we to get out of boards and come on visa doors we love to give - I can tell you more about other things that we were doing here we have a new advocacy program we want to go back to they we had great services but we want to go back to the beginnings and the roots of the women still there were a lot of political work and as well we have a new Advocacy Program that is around the issue of sexual assault against women and girls and we have here real motherless instamember that is in charge [Applause]	Mikan Kimchi	UCNJWv0zxewx4zmzvtyR-J-A	2020-03-29	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	974	5,067

Dungeons and Dragons	greetings Gamers and welcome uh to another DND Adventure here on the lasercorn channel I am once again taking on the role of DM because it's fun and I didn't get to kill anyone last time and so now I'm gonna try and remedy that and joining us today uh we have hey Andrea stimer and Brit are joining us here today uh so I'm gonna let them go ahead and uh go around and introduce themselves right now and their characters the character that I am playing today is named era and I am a Draconian sorcerer arakra arako crap I don't know how to say the name of my character class but I'm a bird lady and I am a very eloquent smooth talking yet Noble soul and hopefully I'm gonna cast some badass spells I'm very excited can I just say I'm very excited about your character I've never played a campaign with one of these characters they can actually fly and just take flight and so they get in trouble or if they want like an aerial Vantage they could just take off and go straight up yeah it's gonna be interesting because I also have never played a flying character before and my flying range is quite large but I feel like it could either get me in trouble or it could keep me too far away from my teammates so we'll have to see how it all plays out let's go over to uh stimer and have you introduced your character hi I'm stiver and uh my character's name is zanzara she is a half orc Paladin I'm pretty excited about this because I've never played Super Healy characters nor do I normally play Super religious characters so this will be a fun adventure we're gonna get along just fine I just came up quickly with since you decided to live with me a little backstory for you and me Brittany but I'll let you introduce yourself first okay okay so yes hello I am Brittany and I am playing be nastier a Goliath Barbarian all you need to know about me is I like to hit [ __ ] and I have no intelligence in literally negative Charisma so that's the kind of joke story I Am Britney oh it's so sweet wow you guys are not very nice to each other oh no this is nothing this is just like our day-to-day dance oh okay yeah I was worried that it's like uh you need a heel but you're like ah you said that thing to me earlier and now I'll put it faster she might not I will always heal you so to open this adventure you have all gathered at zanzera and B nastier's house era you don't live with them you're from a an aerial plane but you like them and you uh come to visit them you're all friends you all get together once a week for a drink game you call Dex where you you roll dice and then you drink that much seconds yes complex game but it's one be nastier can keep up with you God it sounds like it's the one yeah it's the one that you enjoy you're living on the outskirts of lohom Village which is next to Lohan Lake things are usually pretty peaceful here but lately when you go into lohom Village for supplies uh for ale or meat or whatever you notice that the villagers are Whispering that they've been disappearances of strange creatures sighted in the surrounding Countryside and you even heard that King elzar was sending out his own son uh Prince Renard to do a reconnaissance in the area and see what was going on with all these reports and disappearances because Lohan Village does fall in the Kingdom of regulus which is ruled by elzar but aside from that you live a pretty peaceful life out here it is a double full moon in the sky uh the world of tipiria Has Two Moons so it is a double full moon so you're all playing dice we will jump in there you guys can uh can talk as you as you play your game okay so who's going first all right just pick a dice and roll it oh you're going for the Big Dice oh okay A a D6 I picked up a D6 okay are we all just gonna roll dice sure I'm Gonna Roll what would I see because you got to see how long you you drink for oh okay yeah so we should probably all roll the same dice yes okay see we're a little drunk by this point if you can't tell all right I noticed I got a five five seconds of chuggy the gods are with me you get a two [Music] I also got a five this is how it is to be blessed okay so that wasn't enough I drink for five seconds fantastic I'm gonna throw another dice only got a one okay clearly clearly something's wrong you want to keep drinking is that what you're saying be natural listen I'm very upset because I rolled a one and I don't know what to do with all of my rage you drink it no one is stopping you from drinking more the whole point of this game being asked here is to you know get loose with it see that's one of the things I love about era she knows how to talk to me okay I got a five I don't know how long it takes for me to get drunk though in this game you are quite 300ish pounds yes all right let's just keep going let's go uh as you are all drinking and having a jolly old time there's a knock at the door knock knock uh uh did you just burp at the door I'll get it okay I walk over and open the door on the other side of the door uh you find a dwarf who's actually uh quite out of breath I'm so sorry to bother you uh but I've been instructed by King elzar to stop at every house uh and cottage I see along the way to Lohan Village and to relay the following message from our King himself uh before you see Prince Renard has gone missing it has been over a fortnight uh since he reported uh by Falcon Back To The King and King elzar is extremely extremely worried he's looking for any information on on Prince Renard and more than that he's offering a large reward for anyone who can return his son safely to them as you might have heard uh Prince Renard went looking for the source of these disturbances around loham Village uh the villagers kept reporting the disturbances the king set out prince radard prince Renard went out to investigate and he has not come back the king is very worried about this um do you have any information as to where Prince Renard might be oh wow the reward is 500 gold pieces for the safe return Samurai how much mortgage do we got on this [ __ ] this is a Hut I built so oh so we don't owe anything I see no reason to help these people if you're asking me but you close the doors I do you know we could get into a pretty good fight be nastier and as you know I was on Zara mentioned you do love a fight and let's be honest we can only keep playing this drinking game for so many more hours anyway an adventure sounds exciting be nastier how much how many times have you fought piss drunk a lot oh well it doesn't really work when you answer it like that I think she'll be fine I was gonna say it's a new challenge but it is not two of you met me uh or do it with what you know where where was the prince last scene or do you know anything because we we've been sitting here drinking in all honesty well I know much yes the the last correspondence Prince Renard sent said he was going to investigate strathorn tower stradhorn Tower he believed that the source of the disturbances was coming to that from there and the last correspondence we received by Falcon to the castle said he was going to Strat horn Tower but then nothing after that no no further correspondence how far is strathorne Tower I'm not from here yeah I'm not from around these parts um and we haven't met acquaintance good what is your name sir I am Lola Lola the king's advisor oh be fancy you're gonna be a lot more intimidating he's very concerned well I don't intimidate I mostly advise he's very concerned though before he sent me uh his favorite advisor out to deliver this message to everyone in the countryside so could you tell me a little bit more about uh Prince Renard I never made his acquaintance either uh what does the fellow look like so if we're gonna go searching for him we can nobody looks at yes Prince Bernard like his father he is blonde of hair he has a Regal suit of armor a shining silver Fair complexion and uh about I would say uh six foot high he's a regular old Prince Charming isn't he is he married uh he is not yet married he is not betrothed he is not married he is a single Prince all right ladies I've changed my mind this guy has Deep Pockets the deeper Pockets the more alcohol we can buy yes and if you do again if you do uh manage to help him return safely to his father his father has promised a reward of 500 gold pieces I I must leave now I must rally anyone who's willing to go help in this sir of course of course can you before you go just point in the direction of this Tower in fact he gave me several maps to give out thank you sir good luck on your journey yes thank you politely closes the door uh behind himself and didn't shut the door all the way I'm sorry [Music] let's go on an adventure uh do we like are we going we going now I mean technically guys like I can see in the dark so it's cool but I don't know how how drunk we all feel and we ready to just roll or do you want to like pick up some stuff well if he's going back to town to Rally more people to go out that's competition for us that's for that prize and 500 gold is nothing to shake a stick at that could buy us a lot of stuff I don't want for much in this world but the 500 gold would like mean we could have a lot more dice nights with like better Mead so and I could get a more comfortable bed because it looks like I'm sleeping on a haystack whatever that is I brought it for you maybe she just wants like a like a goose feather pillow yeah even with her Haystack all right I think the point is we all have things we could buy with this money you know I could always you know use it to take more time off of work to come visit this realm and come on we haven't had a good old Adventure in a long time let's go we've got a map and uh I would really look can you like you know fly up and maybe Scout ahead I sure can great let's go discover whatever things we need one more drink oh one more world yeah I rolled a six let's go all right a parting drink for the road as you're all having your final drink uh you hear a scream from outside oh no that sounds like our little pitiful dwarf friend we should go check on him yeah I feel like he's probably dead let's go check okay the gang rushes outside to help the king's advisor but it is too late as he's already been torn to shreds by vicious creatures Rex doctor that is a 10. my perception is only plus one so it would be eleven okay uh so you're able to identify one of the creatures as a where Raptor aware Raptor this creature is a velociraptor that was bitten by a werewolf and is now a where Raptor okay so this where is chowing down on Lola who appears along with two other creatures that you weren't quite uh do you have dark vision and in the shadows of this other creature you could see one one human-sized creature and another uh another much smaller creature all gathered around kind of eating lilac oh oh my god oh no if I had any empathy I'd feel bad for him have any of you ever fought a were Raptor before you you've all played d a bit nope uh no it's never first yeah totally a real creature too it's terrifying yeah do you wanna I I know it's meta gaming but if you want I could give you a sneak peek at uh I have the monster manual here and I can give you oh that's cool that sounds awesome yeah so you can see that's it's totally a real thing oh my god wow it's it's very fearsome um so they're not really I'm sorry it's looking at you but it shouldn't be they're not really paying attention to you yet uh they're chowing down on this dude they've just eaten well zandera I feel like we got to uh take care of this little problem they're very close to our house can you take the big one we can take the smaller ones of course great yeah we're gonna have [ __ ] wear Raptor for dinner it's gonna be great that's a yeah maybe we can make some jerky oh I love jerky Gotta Love a goodwear raptor jerky yes the key you gotta add enough sugar brown sugar is the key when making okay this guy's dog okay [ __ ] I want to smack it okay so be nasty wants to just run up and smack that whale Raptor right yeah is that what I'm hearing okay all of you need to now roll for initiative 17. oh man the Raptor got 19. 20. three I got to roll well on initiative uh it's those damn roots I charged forward I tripped over the roots in front of the house I've been telling zonzera that we need to freaking cut them and I tripped and now I'm rolling around in the mud okay I love that yeah so you charge for it uh you're like I'm gonna get this Raptor you trip uh you alert the Raptor who looks at you um however era uh is lightning quick bird-like eagle-like reflexes and she sees her friends in trouble and it is her turn to act seeing that zanzara is close by but that be nastier has taken a little spill I have to weigh my actions carefully this wear Raptor means business but I've had a couple drinks and I'm feeling pretty confident so I'm going to take flight and I'm going to cast a spell you are now flying you are now in the air how high do you fly well I don't want to go too high I'd say probably I'll probably be about 15 feet in the air because the wear Raptor's not more than 10 feet tall is it no no the wire raptor is only like uh eight feet tall after I've decided to take flight I'm going to cast frostbite to try to slow this wear Raptor down eleven so the Raptor has failed its saving throw and I mean yay yes uh now you get to roll one D6 of damage on the Raptor okay let's see how this goes five that's pretty good I'll take it it's a five okay the Raptor takes five cold damage uh you can describe if you'd like uh what happens as you as you summon this spell as I am summoning the spell against the where Raptor and I'm casting it his Talons start to freeze in place making it difficult for him to strike out he lets out a gutter Electric he does not like what you've done at all and he turns towards you now the Raptor uh it looks at you uh but it doesn't think it could jump that high it's mad at you but it also uh sees you're flying above so it's going to turn to uh oh my God the Divine God Hand intervenes I'm going to turn to be nasty who's uh rolling around in the mud I'll uh I'll let you get up as a free action be nasty if you'd like right now or as a reaction to this Raptor charging you uh but it is going to charge you that would be lovely I'd love to get up for my infested you see the Raptor charging and you stand up so you're not growing because otherwise I get to roll with attack or roll with advantage and then uh this rap is going to attack you and it has two Talons so it has multi-attack great it's going to get two attacks in that is a natural one if you saw that that's uh that's what I like to call uh in my experience a classic lasercorn roll I roll like that a lot and that's why I wasn't able to kill anyone last time uh this Raptor charges you you not very smart IT slips in the very same mud that you slipped in it is now prone and it it gets its it loses its second attack I feel like the swear Raptor and I have a lot in common it's like I've been sitting there and I just put my head in my hand that you love me because I bring the firewood in I'm off I'm off to a great start it's a deal both of us are yeah uh zanzera it is now your turn oh my god um I'll I'll let you make a perception check on the other two to see if you can identify them great I got five so six oh six I think about dark vision yeah so you use your dark vision and you squint uh but it's kind of foggy out tonight and you're like I don't know I don't know what those things are uh but they're definitely yeah and you're oh yes and you're a little drunk and you're kind of groggy you're like I don't know what they are but they're looking at me funny uh so I can tell that they are looking at me now and they're not eating that guy anymore yeah yeah they have looked up uh yeah they see some commotion going on the their uh the wear Raptor has gone down it's splashed up mud and made made a noise so yeah they're looking at you now cool um so I'm gonna go okay I look down at the my friend in the mud and the where Raptor in the mud and I just go you you guys you guys got this I'm gonna I'm gonna go over here so I just like I try and make my way over to the other two creatures um I can't really sneak because like they see me but I would like to try and punch someone okay uh you notice one so you you can't tell what they are but you notice one creature as you run up is uh humanoid it's about as large as a human it is winged um oh [ __ ] yes it does have wings and uh the other creature is about uh the size of a chicken and it's kind of like a lizard creature so you have your choice between uh yeah it's it's about the size of it so it's kickable mm-hmm yeah you could try and punt it chicken ticker from Fable can I can I kick the chicken okay you would like to run up and punt the chicken side I love to run up and punch the chicken thing whatever that is I'm gonna say that you leap over uh you leap over the Fallen body of lolith that's just oozing blood and has several chunks of it missing from being fished give me um give me an acrobatics check because run leap kick uh I'm sorry Earth Athletics check damn no go back to acrobatics no Athletics did you did did you do soccer no I didn't no I haven't rolled yet but my acrobatics is a plus three Mathletics it's a plus two I want Athletics because this is like a soccer kick you're doing right here you got this okay that's a 19 plus two holy sh so I think I'm really good at this you're really good at this zanzara you succeed uh tell us what this looks like as you run up and and punt this time okay so I so I already was like um to the to the people in the mud and then I was like I can kind of see something small enough to kick and I just it Harkens me back to the days of old where I used to kick like coconuts around so I just start running for it I bypass the winged dude creature and I just plant my foot down I don't hit it with the toe because you never hit it with the toe you got hit with like the side of your foot and I just punt that little bastard and he goes actually I don't know where he goes you can tell me where he goes but you connect you connect hardcore yeah this little chicken creature and it looks up it's like what and it gets punted into a bush did you hear it yeah and you hear it kind of fluttering her like flutter flapping around and bended that [ __ ] Like Beckham yeah because you rolled so well I will say you also uh as you ran up and actually made contact with it you were able to identify it is a uh where chicken which is a chicken chicken a chicken that's been bitten by a wear Raptor oh my God it now transforms into a half chicken half Raptor thing every double full moon only on double full moons are they like actually dangerous or did I just plant this chicken for no reason no they're dangerous I was eating that person yeah okay okay a group of where chickens you're lucky there's only one actually there were a group of four chickens a flock of where chickens yeah did I do damage to it yes yes you also do actually give me give me a D6 give me a D6 oh three yeah you do three damage to it but it doesn't have a lot of hit points so sure that's just a chicken it's just a chicken that was bitten by a wear Raptor somehow and it survived that yeah survived that and now look at it okay it's in a bush yeah so it's in a bush it is uh it is flustered okay we go now uh uh we go now to the uh other creature uh who uses its wings to take flight [Music] being another creature rare creature also has multi-attack it's gonna slash at you with two uh razor sharp talents okay that's a 15 plus two to attack so that's uh 17 does that beat your armor class yes but you can see Shields yeah I've got a shield don't I so you you cast Shield your AC becomes uh gets an extra five making it your AC is now 20 20. so 17 does not hit so what happens is as uh the and as you get close I will let you identify that is a where Eagle that isn't a yes Square Eagle yes that is a werewolf that has been bitten by a Ware eagle and is now aware eagle and it's an eagle that's been bitten by a werewolf no no it's a werewolf that's been bitten by an eagle I could see where you'd make that mistake oh okay um the Eagles bite Brit I'm with you they use their their beaks and they bite and they uh they create those things uh but as it as it reaches in with those talents to attack you it's slashing for your midsection but a magical uh White Light flares up and the the talons were coil as if striking something solid and we must now go to uh the chicken Raptor who has been pumped into a book The Chicken Raptor although punted it into a bush is actually uh very fast it has 30 movement it's going to use one action to get up laughs oh man am I having a stare down with this chicken you're so lucky you're so lucky you happen to punt it 35 feet yeah just out of range so it stands up and rushes you again uh but it is what it is five feet away from you now actually you know what from that five feet it hisses goes and it spits some kind of green goo at you I've rolled a three okay so you do you see here that's a three uh so you do indeed Dodge it uh you you see it it's uh apparently somewhat shaken up perhaps it uh its Vision was impaired by that bone shattering kick you gave it and so you dodge slightly to the right and whatever it spit at you uh goes right by uh your shoulder good work chicken Raptor and now uh we're to our our last character who has finally struggled up out of the mud uh be nasty go ahead ah yes I am drunk I am angry I take some of the mud that's at my feet and I give myself some under eye Stripes of war paint you see and now I'm ready to kick somewhere Raptor ass I was thinking about punching the swear Raptor with my bare hands and then I realized that you know the adrenaline was kind of wearing off at the alcohol if you will and so I figured you know I should probably use my two-handed mall so that's what I'm gonna do I'm gonna use my two-handed mall to hit this is prone wear Raptor so now I roll two D6 plus three correct well uh you haven't hit it yet you gotta roll for attack so and I'm going to give you an advantage so uh roll 2d20 or roll 1d20 twice and pick the higher number because this where uh where raptor is down my highest okay that's gonna hit uh roll me damage 2d6 plus three of bludgeoning damage two D6 so five damage it already took five pull damage though okay so it's it's still alive but you bring it down with uh quite a bit of force and it goes good and then uh as a reaction it stands back up okay top of the order we're back at era so now I feel like this where eagle has pissed me off and it's time to show it who's boss so I decide I'm going to cast my Ray of frost to freeze its wings so it drops out of the sky oh I love that idea okay roll a range attack for me 11. not bad but not great so unfortunately that is not going to beat the where uh Eagles thick armor so its wings are kind of almost magically protected as it's uh it has that kind of strength so uh you fire at it and uh it hits the wings but you can see the wings just keep flapping and you only seem to have irritated the wear Raptor dang it I'm sorry the wear Eagle over to the where Raptor who has stood back up and it's going to try and bite uh be nasty that is tasty that is an 11. plus three does that hit my armor class is 13. wait oh okay that's pretty low oh okay so this uh this wear Raptor does uh does think it's teeth into you for three damage so this chicken just bad at me which is correct disgusting um and now I'm even more irritated so I grab my can you say it halberd is that what it's called yeah sure uh you're halberd and I decide that I'm gonna try and impale this little Sun [ __ ] I would like chicken on a stick please yes I'm a hungry for hungry hungry ooh got weird got weird everybody got weird six wait do I add any no I don't add anything to that unfortunately that is going to miss uh so that where chicken flaps its little where chicken wings and it uh Dodges slightly away from you and we're just having a rough go we are yeah yeah yeah it's rough out there no one's really hitting on either side drunk and it's the Moonlight I don't know you should have slept it off we should have slipped off yeah yeah it's fine okay so that was zanzera uh and now uh we'll go to be nasty I'm reading I am very upset because I have been bitten by a rare Raptor so I'm gonna have another go at this [ __ ] all right rolling a D20 I got a 16. that's going to hit that's right yeah all right now I've got my heavy mall I'm gonna go for round two hopefully I'll hit something other than uh it's tail this time my 2d6 equal to a three plus two uh a plus three so I do six points of damage six points of damage okay good you hit it right in its rib cage and you did crack some ribs uh but unfortunately uh that is not enough to stop that wear Raptor uh okay over to uh the where eagle and the where Eagle is going to use is going to use bites so it's coming in with its beak this time and it's gonna try and Peck your eyes out oh my God rough truffles jeez and I've rolled a four so I miss take that Excelsior I don't know how I roll so bad so the wear Eagle uh sucks I don't know maybe maybe that maybe that Frost did slow it down a little bit it's going to use uh but it's going to use multi-attack and it's going to slash in with one of those claws too fine wow okay chicken Raptor uh is up let's move up let's move in for a bite from chicken Raptor 19 yes does that be your armored class plus two yeah my armor class is 16. all right excellent your class is bigger than mine that's messed up yeah well you gotta have somebody still alive three plus two uh so you take five damage from this little chicken wrapper good Lord yeah it bites onto your ankle and it's shredding your leg God I shake it but it obviously doesn't go anywhere over to era seeing that the wear Eagle easily brushed off my last attack I've decided to change tactics instead I am going to cast shocking grasp so I can fell it to the ground where I hope my friend be nastier will stomp its face until the mud I'd love to baby girl I'm kind of having some trouble with this Raptor but you know what I got you well it's a four and an eight so not my best work yeah wow we're all doing great tonight yikes h are we all gonna die on this first fight we're gonna make it beyond the first fight our regards Prince Bernard we will see [Laughter] you go to you go to grab this thing but it moves out of the way it's it's uh crafty and it's fast and it's good in the air it's good with those wings uh so unfortunately uh no shocking grasp for you four in an eight really off two dice no I know I looked at the eight and I was like is that an eight yeah over to the Raptor now I got one on Bruno oh it got me I got it yeah I got a zombie wear bite in my arm now it's great are you gonna become a wear Raptor now am I aware ogre aware Goliath okay uh it's coming in with those talents it misses and okay but the second so the first time misses but the second is a 19 I believe that plus two I believe that beats your armor class yes it does this but a flesh wound five damage to you be nasty you're you're liking this a little too much I can hear you I want to kill you I feel so but like shouldn't you want to kill us once we've progressed no at all I want to kill you right now it's it swings in and it it slashes with its talents and it cuts you uh right right about the midsection and uh yeah one of those towns connects hardcore and you are bleeding I have a feeling that the story is on Zara era and uh being nasty it's gonna be a short-lived yeah okay cool I mean I try and I try and do the same thing uh I have my polls still and I'm still trying to like stab stab that chicken come on dice come on [ __ ] Jesus it's a five okay I'll say that uh you uh you initiate drunken flailing because you've had a few drinks you get a second attack that's a 16. yes that hits uh roll me some damage okay so three three damage you do one d10 uh plus three plus seven three so six that is enough to kill hell yeah oh wow I mean yeah I I'm just like chicken up ladies stab it down and it just goes and then like the little I assume they're red beady eyes just yes the light in them dies out and they go dark let's see it yes over to be nasty who's fighting that Raptor I am going to go into a rage I'm going to roll a D20 and I got a [ __ ] three okay oh so bad at this tonight uh yeah you you missed okay so that was your turn the wear Eagle smells blood on be nasty and it's gonna swoop and dive bomb be nasty no come get some it's okay I always wanted to go out like this it's fine just someone takes uh with one of its claws for four damage [ __ ] okay down how many HP do you have left I have two oh [ __ ] nice okay nice okay can you heal no I think I have to that's touch them okay you're being uh double team there but one but the where chicken is down and now we move on to uh uh the chicken raptor is dead Okay so back the arrow seeing that the where eagle has descended to try to finish off my pal be nastier and I cannot let this stand I swoop in and whip my daggers out of my side belt thing your Batman Gadget patch and I raised them to strike this wear Eagle to its death okay uh roll two attacks one for each dagger D20 help me I'm trying help me okay I'm a seven foot tall ogre that can't help itself or Goliath excuse me double tens I got a 10 and a 10. well it's it's back is to you so I'm gonna say that hits yes nice uh so you swoop in and uh this thing had gotten distracted it didn't see you as much of a threat but now you swoop in and you start stabbing its back and you do uh 1 D4 plus two for each dagger get it get it so one dagger does four plus two is six and another dagger does six plus two was eight so I have no six damage and eight damage yeah so uh you stab it repeatedly these are daggers gifted to you uh by your grandma and these are family daggers and they're made of silver and silver uh is unfortunately the bane of all rare creatures as you know yes that's right so this creature recoils in pain and screams squawk and then collapses in a pile of feathers and flesh and dies good night yes I know you fell too you fell from the sky it's that damn shot man you are drunk okay uh great so you've killed the wear Eagle I love it uh now we go over to uh the Raptor however you did uh descend down to where the uh foreign so the Raptor will jump at you and attack you oh no yes it sees you've killed its comrade and it is not happy it rolls a 14 plus two what's your armor plus two fifteen okay so that hits damn it yeah uh-oh points do you have left three you should have all your points yeah I have seven so now I have four okay yeah three damage Splash slash mother [ __ ] wear Raptor damn wire Raptors bastard uh and then it is uh so that was the Raptor's turn uh now it's me yes zanzera um I would like to check on the downed person since he's on the way to the right absolutely you could do that you turn to Lola and you to check his vitals he is super dead so I'm not gonna waste my time yeah okay um I I don't know if I can make it to the Raptor distance wise help me I give it to you okay um I would like to run up and try and basically with the chicken still on my um my weapon I would like to Ram the chicken into his backside like right up the back side right up like like in the blade hole like I want like a turducken situation but with the wear Raptor and the weird chicken yeah yeah yeah okay so whatever roll me into 20. please dice please this sounds so cool please don't let me fail don't let me fail damn it I got a fool no it was Saturday okay it's back his turn so Advantage so 2d20 what's your second D20 [Music] roll me some damage uh what do I roll oh d10 a three oh so six damage yep and this one has taken some damage already from the uh some cold damage and some bludgeoning damage and that's gonna be enough to kill it so go ahead oh thank God Raptor's brutal demise okay all right so I would like to make a pelt out of the height of this wear Raptor okay okay so don't when you shove it up the booty hole like don't destroy too much of like the back side is all I'm saying I'll do what I can because so what I have in mind is so I've got I've got my it's not a spear but you know double handed I go I basically shove the chicken all the way up through the entirety of the Raptor so the chicken comes out the mouth wow I'm into it that's impressive yeah and despite me being on my deathbed like that just gave me a reason to live thank you so yeah so it's like so it like yeah I didn't feel like the rapper like has a moment of surprise shock from like the first entry to like oh and then like the Chipmunks there that was brutal yeah yeah can we still eat the chicken Raptor I mean you can it's now covered in where Raptor intestines and it is it is part Raptor because it is a chicken that's been bitten by a raptor it's true I was just really looking to that jerky with that Sugar you know um awful is you know a delicacy in a lot of places so I really just was seasoning the chicken so that works okay great so all these uh monsters have been defeated man there are more monsters out uh this this is getting to be a dangerous neighborhood I would like to go tend to my wounds please yeah on my literal death bed I am also wounded I think we were very brave to try to strike out immediately but we clearly uh got our booties handed to us so we need to take a rest I would imagine would work out nicely I think it would be prudent if we all maybe went to bed slept this off and try it again in the morning we all know already now that um no one else in town is going to hear about this because our poor friend is dead so there's no more people getting this message it's up to us now let's talk about our best friend yeah she should literally yeah do anything with his mangled bodies get out there we should probably go investigate and see if he has anything in his pockets that he wasn't telling us about yeah we could go search him and then bury him I'm not gonna his body because that's against my vows but like if you two want to search I have no problems I have no problems I will tear him apart even more than he's already torn apart okay oh excellent so you're uh you're a paladin and that is against your vows as a paladin to search through a corpse that's why I said I wasn't doing it yeah yeah no no okay that's great no I love that you're uh that you're standing by those vows so you you turn away you're like okay um I actually will start digging a grave for him is what I'll do okay you go you can do that because my personality trait is I put no trust in Divine beings I live for the thrill of the hunt I don't believe in that religious [ __ ] so let's go see what this guy has on him so you rifle through his pockets uh you find a 30 gold as well as this decree from the King you know he's not lying the king is really offering 500 uh gold pieces for the return of his missing son uh and you find some basic rations on him and uh a basic dagger as well for personal protection it obviously didn't help him much against those weird creatures and you already have some daggers uh at least era does some nice silver ones so um so yeah so that's it 30 gold pieces and and some basic rations is really the only thing of use there all right I'll grab them by what remains of his leg and I'll drag him over to the Grave that zenzera is building and I'll just toss him in there and go back in the house okay and do you take the 30 gold pieces or do you bury him with it oh absolutely I take that okay yeah okay um write that down add it to your money and uh you have the uh 30 gold pieces okay and uh yeah you have buried hold on he's buried out back of your house hopefully uh hopefully no one ever investigates there's not like a person next team out there because then you'd have to explain a dead King advisor outside your house but uh and you uh so you would like to sleep it off uh wait till morning tend to your wounds and uh and start fresh in the morning yeah start sober since I am you know a paladin I heal them over the night and whatever yeah yeah I make sure everybody Tip Top next morning great yeah you rest up and with the magical energies flowing forth from the Paladin you are fully healed fully restored all your spells are back and uh you're ready to set out on this rescue mission is what it really is okay so you have a path to the north that just kind of leads up into the mountains and then a pass South that leads to uh stratmore Tower maybe we should have era do a little Recon up in the air because my friends here have asked that I do a little scouting I take flight and fly the maximum I can which is 50 feet out in advance to scope out the area as I'm looking around the trees are obscuring a lot of my vision of the ground so I don't see a whole lot but at least I don't see any wear Raptors in the immediate vicinity so that's a good sign sure roll perception for me well let's see if this actually happens I was just describing it in advance I see it oh yeah 16 16 19 16. 16. 16. the trees do obscure your vision but you have sharp eagle eyes you can almost peer through the branches and you don't see anything uh really moving around out there the uh you know there's no more rare creatures uh for sure because they only come out uh those specific ones only come out during a double full moon because they're twice bitten yeah the path looks clear pass you can see the tower I would assume she could see the tower if it's a tower no it's it's not that far away but you can't yet see the tower probably like an hour's walk down the southern path you'll probably come in view of the tower let's go okay go on a journey you've got era in the air and she can see Strat stratmore Tower from here it's across this port in the river and then uh directly in front is a ruins uh an ancient ruins no one really knows uh who built these ruins that's been here forever it's kind of a no man's land so no Army really controls this area it's kind of been abandoned by both sides there's a someone's built a little fishing cabin off up to your right you could see uh there's some abandoned uh battle supplies something is over there straight ahead uh the ruins and beyond that the tower so you're you're in range to investigate this Tower where the prince was last seen guess I mean my perception's not good but we should look for I guess any sign of like a recent struggle if you'd be even be able to discern that because like this place is in shambles like the prince was really here like you're assuming some [ __ ] went down he must have had forces with him you would think like a small personal regimen of sorts yeah are we talking like a couple guards are we talking like a small like cartoons he's asking that question make a wisdom check for me actually actually make a history check I'm curious as to whether our Prince Renard has a legion of bodyguards and just how many there are so let's check it out sweet it's a one that's a one plus four so it's a four so it's a five so the princess visited Lo hum Village on many occasions uh he comes out he's a man of the people he likes to come out see how everyone's doing you however uh never once went to greet him or see him never once went to see what who he traveled with instead you and your friends uh stayed at zanzera's house drinking uh during his visit despite knowing about them and knowing that he was coming to town you guys opted to stay drinking instead so you don't know who he travels with you have no one cares about this Prince guy anyway uh however however I will say that your reconnaissance does seem to turn up some dead bodies in fact there are skeletons uh stream throughout here as I said it's a no man's land this was uh the site of quite a few battles between uh the Empire of pilgar and the Empire of reglas and neither one seem to be able to gain the upper hand and really gain this ground so yeah there are dead bodies and some appear more recent than the old battles that you remember so how far so what I think I would like to do is I'd like to afford the river get to the other side so that I can get a little bit more within range of the Tower and then cast Divine sense to see what what might be around the area okay so what do I do all board the river together how deep is this right yes don't split the party ever yeah everybody come with me yeah I am seven feet tall ladies if it's not that deep I can probably just carry you well I'm still in the air why so I'm good okay yeah you're fine but I can I can hop on your back if you want yeah I feel like this is a thing you and I usually yeah yeah I'll hop on your back that used to be my thing remember that's right yeah yeah okay so the river's uh not that deep especially at the Ford uh you're over now by the ruins and you use sense Divine sense yeah you sense something evil in the ruins there's also the cabin there you're not sensing any specific evil evil from that the cabin looks recent it's almost like someone realized that there was no one no Army really in control here and just set up shop and just kind of playing this land and set up a little cabin ransack the cabin look through the ruins so we're gonna go around the ruins and get straight to the tower if there's something evil in the ruins I don't know why we would poke that bear because that's probably what got the prince do we have to go through the ruins to get to stratmore Tower you do not you could go around the rounds can we roll uh perception to see if we see like horse tracks going into the ruins or anything yeah yeah real perception performance or actually roll investigation okay uh six plus two or two yeah that includes the point yeah okay can I also investigate yeah go for it well that didn't work out you also got like a you got a what oh it was a one plus two is this so I have a three uh so this is a very kind of Muddy area luckily for you you're not a great investigator but even you can discern that there are no tracks leading directly into the ruins and in fact uh you do see a dried hoof Prince uh leading around the ruins to the right you you think they went to the rights around we should follow the tracks we should follow the tracks there are also battle supplies and other refuse around to the right so it wouldn't probably be a bad place to to go I agree we should definitely follow the tracks change of plans [ __ ] the ruins let's go you're not so you're not going into the the correct uh evil room we're going around you're sure you're sure you don't want to go into the very evil room I feel good about not going there and dying we're not trying to be heroes we're just trying to make some money so to the right uh are some crates that look like like leftover battle supplies they look like they've been there a while there's a falling apart wagon and there is uh a cannon among the ruins but it's it's Rusty it's old uh but it is a cannon uh until you're left are the ruins and straight ahead is the tower shrouded and missed I am gonna attempt an investigation track just to see if there's anything of use in any in the cart or anywhere even though it's all very old this is not the dice I'm looking for oh never mind that's a big fatty two which is a three so I probably not gonna find anything so yeah you don't find anything useful but uh the Canon looks like it it probably still works uh yeah like be nastier do you think you could push it with us sure anything for you friend where do you want it do we really need to push a candle I don't know do we have cannonballs for the cannon do we have gunpowder do we have something to light it with very light Bird friend that would fit probably just right in a cannon but I don't need to be shot out of a cannon I can fly that you don't get the velocity if we're gonna shoot you right at that Tower I mean that's fair but we still would need a way to light the cannon would need gunpowder and all that rigmarole among the crates you find gunpowder and three cannonballs aren't you just so helpful but what do you want to do with this Canon friend um I think we roll it with us then suddenly from the skies above a great red dragon swoops down landing near our adventures red dragon uh it hasn't seen you yet it's it's some ways away and it's kind of like sniffing around all right and it's just kind of looking around it's a giant dragon hold on everybody don't forget that I have dragon ancestors as a Draconian sorcerer so I can actually speak to this Dragon what if we want to talk to it before we attack it maybe this Dragon should be on our side oh I was gonna say we should at least roll to like see if we know more about the Dragon right I just didn't know I just wanted to make sure we had a little power we have draconian that's what it says under my features and traits okay you can speak dragon great okay it hasn't seen you so but yeah you have the option I suppose talk to it if you want it's up to you but basically this is smog this is what we're talking about right here yeah he's very smoggish yeah okay well the good news you guys is that one of my personality traits is that I am very eloquent with my flattery so if anybody's going to talk to the dragon it should be me also you're the only one who can fly to that height true true and of course as I mentioned Dragon ancestors okay so era if you would like to maybe go and try and talk to him in the meantime I don't think he's seen us be nasty and I will stay here man the cannon just in case things go awry you are at the cannon you're staying still among kind of those crates and things over there yeah let me move you um but you have not yet loaded the cannon correct yes it's correct so which would you like to do first so would you like to wait until she's engaged in talking to try and load this one yes wait wait till she's talking okay to be clear you're going to fly up to this Dragon are you flying or just walking uh I'm Gonna Fly You're Gonna Fly up to this dragon and you're going to attempt to engage it in speech he's gonna smack you like a gnat hey maybe not oh friend Hello friends what is your purpose here have you seen a prince around here okay you fly up to the dragon it notices you uh the insignificant little net that you are and it kind of breathes and smoke comes out of its nostrils who are you and why are you in my domain hey oh wonderful and Majestic Dragon my name is era what's your name I am real choir and and yes I am wonderful and Majestic what is your purpose here I was so struck by the shininess of your scales and how lustrously beautiful they are that I wanted to come over and compliment you on them we are here looking for someone and we're curious if you're looking for the same person why would I help you Give Me One Reason Not To Burn you Timbers well let's be honest I'm kind of scrawny I wouldn't make much of a meal for you it'd be really more of a waste of your breath I mean quite literally uh than anything else and we actually have some information which you wouldn't get if you ate us so we could help each other out here or we can of course go along our merry way and leave you to your business how could you help me you're nothing well we're very small at least I'm very small and we can fit into places that your magnificent body might not be able to oh large and glorious one [ __ ] ass kisser why why would I need you to fit anywhere my patience is wearing thin the tower we've heard has many hidden passages and tunnels which would be difficult for your beautiful Talons to fit in that's where why would I want to get into the tower I know your fondness for gold and we have holes we've heard there is gold in this Tower gold in the tower you say and you will retrieve this gold for me yes if you let us pass unharmed roll me persuasion [Laughter] 18. 18 babies three Twenty One wow thank God all right nicely done luckily talking to the most charismatic of the group okay so the dragon uh looks at you gold you say I do love gold all right then bring me the gold you have until Nightfall meet me back here on this very spot with a fitting tribute Tyrell choir or I would find and incinerate you and your little friends that's right I see them over there by that wreckage that human wreckage my Dragon Eyes spotted them if you do not bring me this gold you all will die and then uh the dragon flaps and uh takes off it's going to meet you there at night you're not killing us yes expects you to have gold yeah that's a problem uh okay cool well we better hope we can get some gold did we say how much gold well we've got 30 gold yeah but that's like nothing I know tribute that's not a fitting trivia befitting a dragon you think 36 pieces our best case scenario is we go in there we find give him like a majority share and then yes that is the best no best case scenario is we go in this Tower and there actually is a horde of gold inside okay sure that is yes yes it's not necessarily a pipe dream come on it's a tower it's spooky it's got Mist there's got to be a treasure chest in that [ __ ] somewhere because it's golden probably yeah but you know what sansara we don't want to rain on her parade like let's go find some gold yeah yeah you know it would have been fun to shoot a cannon at it though it would have been real fun maybe you'll still get the chance all right the cannon has wheels yeah can we let's wheel this down to the tower just you know leave it outside yeah we'll leave it outside just in case yeah yeah okay so you would like to continue on to the Tower and you would like to take the cannon with you yes yes gun powder yeah I'm gonna let you carry all that stuff uh the tower had been shrouded by a Mist uh but now as you approach closer uh the missed clears or less spooky because there's no more Mist I don't know so you approach the tower and as the Mist clears you see uh Atop The Tower is a is a uh a skeletal man he's got skulls kind of hanging off his clothes he's just looks like Skin and Bones and he's cackling why if he stands on top of the power next to him tied and bound to a wooden post uh you see a man in gleaming armor you do know even though uh you never went to any of his village visits but you strongly suspect is we got a description from that guy do we see the prince's guards anywhere he did say that there were some bodies that looked a little fresher than others that doesn't necessarily mean that was his guard there are no guards there are no bodies uh actually no there are corpses there's skeletal and rotting corpses around the base of the tower um they they're too far gone to recognize whether they're guards or not simmer wants to shoot or excuse me zandera says let's shoot a cannon and try to hit the cauldron is that what he said The Cauldron I was saying that's a thing we could do we could do it I see some stairs to the right of the tower that's true they are upstairs leading up into the tower if you could shoot the cannon uh but the prince is right next to that cauldron oh he is okay then never mind yeah it's it's uh so it's the Necromancer and then the cauldron's kind of in the middle of the two and then the prince so we definitely need to get closer and investigate but we don't want to alert The Necromancer then maybe bean asked you should stay here for a minute okay very hard too that's true so I definitely want to take flight above the Necromancer and peer down so I can without being seen without being seen so I can survey what's going on he's in the middle of an incantation but roll me still okay here we go see we hadn't drank and did this at night it'd be easier 17 plus two so 19. yes okay uh The Necromancer in a deep trance uh doesn't see you your wings flap Softly As you take a peek you see the Necromancer there something's bubbling in a cauldron he's he's murmuring an incantation he's got the prince tied up can I assess the prince's Health from my scouting position yeah he looks alive he's wiggling he's trying to break out of the uh does he see her is he Lucid like is he awake and conscious yeah uh it's I'll prep the cannon okay you are pretty roll roll stealth if you're prepping roll me a stealth check oh two plus one three okay I'll try it I got a plus one wait wait no wait did you who already rolled no no she rolled okay so you lift a cannonball to put it into the cannon and uh it slips out of your hands it's greasy with Marsh sludge and it slips and clings off the cannon alerting The Necromancer to your presence did I and The Necromancer looks down no The Necromancer looks down but I can never finish a spell sorry era free the prince you know what I don't care gallbladder go and he throws something into The Cauldron from the ground corpses begin to rise I knew it yeah he's a necromancer up out of the ground rice two humanoid zombies and one ogre zombie it is a zombie that is also an ogre an ogre zombie and uh Batu says I've done it I have finally made zombies he uh he might have failed to do that I'm getting the sense that this is not a very good Necromancer yeah yeah and he says zombies attack and the the zombies move towards you roll for initiative this one so 15. 18 plus 1 19. I've got seven I would like to whoever goes first is that you yeah because you rolled really I think it's me you're just putting a cannonball into a thing I mean you did slip last time but you're not trying to do it stealthily uh technically yeah I slipped she didn't sleep I guess I guess cannonballs are heavy so uh just roll me a a strength check okay as long as you don't roll a one did you I rolled a four and I have a plus three modifier okay that's fine seven oh good so cannonballs are heavy but you are giants and so you managed to load the cannon oh okay actually yeah cause you were one of the first ones to go so yeah that one but that is your turn uh now the ogre's gonna go he uh he shatters this whatever this wooden thing he shatters that wooden barrier that was in the way uh and that's his turn he smashes through and he comes straight towards you zanzara you are up um I was coming towards you fire the cannon okay okay she pressed it I'm ready to light it so yeah you pull out a torch and you would like to light the fuse I would love to I mean I would like to angle it also at him but we don't we don't miss that element of it this would be I guess intelligence can you angle a cannon right and did you prep it right and everything so give me an intelligence check 12. 12. yeah okay so you let her rip and this cannon hits it hits him Square in the belly uh uh as a cloud of smoke Rises up from the cannon and this big lumbering uh zombie ogre takes a cannonball to the tummy roll me five D6 of damage yeah um I don't just or just roll it five times yeah I'll roll three I'll write down the numbers for you okay we got a four a three and a five and then we got a three to three uh so you hit this thing and blast it dead center and uh you could hear the Cannonball fun against it and then kind of Ricochet off uh back out uh into the ground and the thing stumbles backwards and goes down and is prone one of the skeletal zombies comes up and swings the Scythe at zanzara so it's going to swing at zanzara it's uh oh that's an 18. and then plus I think it gets like plus two or three so yeah my armor class is 16. so it's a slam attack okay so it hits so four four plus one five five bludgeoning damage to you right great back where I was the first fight okay uh that was the zombie era you're up so I'm still in the air so I for the moment I'm protected from the ground zombies so I am going to focus my attention on The Necromancer I definitely want to prevent this Necromancer from casting any more spells or getting any more uh zombies up out of the ground so I want to numb it in place so I'm going to cast my frostbite spell my can trip at this necromancer so I'm going to attempt to shoot some Frost at The Necromancer to freeze him in place with frostbite so that he cannot summon any more zombies okay so I'm going to roll it is a 12. you plus anything or no okay this uh Necromancer is uh not very armored so it hits yeah and then what what's your damage on that well it's one so you hit him with this Frost and he's like that was gold what are you doing okay [Music] nothing apparently I'm doing nothing the other zombie charges be nasty with a massive Cleaver come get some [ __ ] I've rolled a 15 plus that would hit you yeah Brett because yeah yeah oh great yeah so I hit you six comes up four plus one five damage to be nasty raising this Cleaver above its head it moans and goes slashes you okay fine cool you got your cheap shot in I'll remember her face great uh up next uh so the Necromancer will fix era with his gaze he doesn't like that you attacked him at all and he is going to cast Rey of sickness at you no so his greenish energy will shoot out from his his fingertips like a range attack against the target I roll a 11 does that beat your armor class nope no I'm 15. so your your wings Shield you as this Ray kind of bounces off and uh The Necromancer goes oh my Ray of sickness but I wanted to sicken you you didn't not today Nick romancer man Angry The Necromancer is very angry that worked for me my priority is throwing over to that prone Undead ogre and smashes skolin with my Mall a skeleton uh hit you so you'll have to roll disengage [ __ ] three God pie why oh no be nastier the skeleton steps right in your path and uh and and is looking like it's gonna bite you what do you want to do so I will roll a D20 to try to hit the skeleton because he did just hurt me and fine like I we can we can hang out we can have a party sir all right six a six a six total V nastier has a proficiency bonus of plus two okay so eight zombie has an eight Armor class that hits I will I'd like to go into my rage too because I'm very angry I'm very upset okay okay it's on you zombie bastard two D6 came to five plus three plus two is ten so yeah describe it's still alive but describe to me what happens um I take my two-handed Mall and it's still alive though so I can't really split it in half can I shoulder yeah you're right I think I will I think it will I think I'll connect right at the neck where the neck and the shoulder be I'll just go like halfway through down to like the pelvic area and then I'll just stop right there so now it's kind of flopping around yeah yeah you shatter its collarbone yeah and uh yeah and really bust into it uh it's still up the mystical energies that hold it together are still holding it together uh but yeah it's looking uh it's looking less like a skeleton more like a xylophone so you're doing you're doing something you're doing something right okay so that was be nasty ogre's turn ogre gets up and uh yeah this ogre zombie has uh what the weapon he has is a Morning Star and he rolls a two four well two four plus doesn't matter yeah plus six to hit ten nope what's your armor class 16. okay okay so uh damn it he's still rattled by that Cannonball and he swings the Morning Star but I dodge likely you duck I'm sorry yes great you duck and it the Morning Star goes right over your head whoosh yeah it's like a little Neo situation where I just like Bend nice yeah great uh I love it except I want to kill you but other than that I love it it is now your opportunity it is now your turn zanzara excellent um I guess I will just go for the I'll just ogre swings at me I go to try and stab area yeah I'm gonna try and stab this bad boy in the neck okay if I if I may he's taken some damage from this Cannonball so yeah that's what I'm hoping please don't be bad please don't be bad 13. put I don't know what proficiencies I would ask that's a hit that's a hit though you don't even need any proficiencies great um my d10 plus three uh but then I got a three so four okay just like stab it in the neck a little bit okay so you stab it in the neck and like uh flesh sloths off of it and makes kind of a gurgling sound but it's uh it's still up and moving around ew I know that's right uh okay so that was uh zanzara's turn now for the zombie uh and it's yeah it's the zombie that attacked first so it gets to attack again yeah I'm like Kill The Necromancer I'll be fine that's a 15 . does not hit 50. 15 plus three eight minutes okay great uh I'm rolling 1d6 plus one plus one take three damage yay oh okay so yeah he winds up again with that scythe and he notices you uh ducking the ogre and he uh he whacks you with that Scythe as soon as you finish your Dodge move oh man [Laughter] era you're up again All Right freeze him girl freeze him I am pissed now I am done with this BS I've decided to cast my ice knife spell yeah we didn't do that one it's time to get serious and I will describe it if I land it so I should probably roll first yeah please oh please fingers crossed here we go you can do it 15. that definitely hits I have a 15. yeah that's gonna hit the Necromancer he's not heavily armored at all uh excellent okay yeah describe to me what happens um so I pull my Talons with my wings up and start forming this giant icicle in the air and I make the tip incredibly pointy with little mini shards along the way I then get it to a nice elongated size and I whoosh it towards the Necromancer okay 1d10 yeah but it says hit or miss the shards then explodes and the creature within five feet must succeed on a dexterity saving throw or take to D6 cold damage nice that's a good one all right here we go so that is uh uh is that a zero is that possible no that would be a 10 wouldn't it yeah yes I got a ten you do 10 damage to the Necromancer uh so the ice knife hits him and it sticks them and he's like and then it explodes right uh who uh so creatures near him have to make a dexterity saving throw so Prince Renard who is right next to him that has to make a saving throw oh see if he can dodge these shards of ice and he's going to make it at disadvantage because he's kind of he's tied up exactly it's always a critical error everybody good work rescuer you know this is so awesome yeah he fails uh so one of those uh ice shards catches him right in the joint of his armor and he's crazy goes what are you doing oh it hurts oh it hurts and freezes it at the same time with a burning Breezy thing why what are you here to kill me he's very confused do we have to bring the Princeton alive without a condition yes [Music] the message said for the safe return of the prince dang it uh so that is your turn wait but don't they each wait doesn't the other guy have to oh yeah he takes damage The Necromancer uh that's an 18. The Necromancer uh does succeed uh so the fragment of ice does not hit him uh but the but the the big the big thing did but the explosion yeah okay here we go come on Roll shitty roll shitty um it's sort of shitty that's good it's I mean it's not good it's not good it's eight it's eight okay so yeah he's like ah what are you doing it burns it freezes and uh he takes eight damage he's injured what about his armor isn't he wearing like a [ __ ] I said I said it hits him in the joint between the armor God damn it precise ice shards yes well there were a lot of ice shards some bounced off his armor that one hit him in the joint and did a damage I'm sorry guys crap my bad let's have it you know we're near this whole adventuring thing like we can't be too harsh on it but I did a solid 10 damage on The Necromancer you should be proud yeah be proud it's just we don't get this Prince back alive we're all gonna be Krispy Kreme we also might be Krispy Kreme anyways I'm surrounded by zombies it kind of feels like the dungeon master is trying to kill us all in case you forgot I uh I absolutely am it doesn't kind of feel that way I pretty much announced that so it's more than kind of a feeling uh but anyway uh the zombie next to be nasty it's his turn to attack he gets a 15 plus yeah you hit me you don't have to keep rolling well I wasn't gonna keep rolling I was just gonna do the plus but okay 1d6 plus one five plus one take six damage no because I'm going to do my Stone's endurance oh [ __ ] as a reaction reduce damage dealt to you by one D12 plus two damn that's a good move do it yeah yeah okay I threw a four plus two so minus six so nothing okay good job because like I'm gonna have to heal myself at this point I have four HP left describe how your Stone's endurance or whatever deflects this attack your little puny ass skeleton swipes at me my cheek turns as you make contact but I slowly turned back to you and I grit and I lick the blood off of my face and I call you a four-letter word oh damn that's my Stone's endurance yeah if zombie still had emotions he might be frightened all right uh okay whose turn is it that was uh the second zombie so we're back up to the Necromancer who so far has not been able to do much I'm going to use Chill Touch on you I create a ghostly necrotic hand that tries to touch you make a ranged spell attack five [ __ ] my Necromancer sucks so the Necromancer needs to go back to necromancy School the necrotic Handy's like go my necrotic hand and the necrotic hand weirdly just gives him the finger and then dissipates it refuses to obey him at all and uh this Necromancer needs to work on his necromancing um be nasty you're up oh right okay so I gotta settle my score at this little zombie xylophone dude all right I'm rolling my D20 which is a whopping 20. finally our first one of the game yeah roll me some damage okay gladly okay oh right my 2d6 to come to a total of seven plus three plus two is fifty notice I lied that's definitely not 15 that's 12. so describe to me the zombies uh grizzly okay that was the ogre I'm not gonna lie yep that would have been a great role for the ogre you wasted it on this very interesting no I did it because if I went after the ogre the zombie would have tried to stop me again and I didn't want to have to deal with it I'm angry I'm angry right now I get it it's not your fault all right all right all right so here's the deal okay so the zombie was the xylophone so what I do though because you know I crush them in half is I continue my my Massacre and I slice him completely into you and now he's kind of like flopping around like a Magikarp right because he's still kind of held together by The Necromancer not really and then suddenly I get really nauseous because I'm still super hungover from the night before so I proceed to vomit all over this zombie and then I step on the pile of bones anybody ceases to exist amazing so at your feet now just a pile of bones in your own environment yeah great then Zara notices a a wretched stench in the air okay uh great you've killed that zombie okay uh the ogre would like to kill zanzar I'm sure uh so the ogre zombie wields his mighty Morning Star plus six to hit aha 17. yeah that would do it that hit and his morning start 20 bye I mean that's enough you can stop okay all right great um uh so he drops you below zero hit points question because I have Relentless endurance and it says when you're reduced to zero HP but not killed you can drop to one HP instead but does that is that negated because he dropped me past zero all right yeah I'm basically dead but like not quite dead yet you're hanging on by a thread yeah you're taking advantage of the fact that the DM isn't sure how that one works but okay so yeah it clobbers you with this morning star and it it lifts it back out and it looks down at you uh crushed pretty much and it it's like it's very happy with its work but you're still like then I get up and I'm like ah and then I'm like I'm so tired all right that was the ogre's turn you're up now oh Jesus yeah I um try and Retreat behind the boxes that I see baby under your friend behind the box yeah yeah I'm like I gotta go hold on a minute um and then I do lay hand lay on hands so yeah up to five yeah I'm gonna take all five because I have one HP so uh sorry y'all I needed that heels for myself and I am now at six so yeah you lay on hands and a glowing light emerges and you heal yourself the remaining zombie is going to move right at uh be nasty and swing cut nine plus three twelve does that hit nay nay nay so that's Scythe bounces off your tough Rock like skin uh and we move to Arrow it's time to stop [ __ ] around I pull my wand of magic missiles out of my bag oh [ __ ] and have decided to cast all three missiles at The Necromancer this can't backfire in any way right it's cannot backfire in any way okay that I'm aware of is there a way I can backfire imagine missiles I believe automatically hit their targets okay great so I don't think they can accidentally miss that isn't correct but you can check out I'm just scared from the last thing because I was originally like oh it's cool I can heal him after this is all done and I was like oh no I need to use the heel for myself okay so the attack succeeds because it succeeds automatically now roll for damage a two a three a two a three and a two yes two three two five seven plus three because each one gets a plus one for ten total damage so yeah yeah go ahead go ahead and describe it to me he's still standing though as I'm holding my wand I swirl it above my head and cast it towards the Necromancer three giant missiles emerge from the wand and beeline towards the target hitting the Necromancer boom boom boom in succession I feel like the prince right yes and it's like ah but it's not hard prince prince Renard is like oh oh God it's thank God that one didn't hit me huh and The Necromancer goes shakes himself off but he's imbued with some sort of dark energy so he's very resilient he's still standing uh but that was great we moved to the zombie who has been already murdered I believe yeah because the other one bounced off the armor and then uh and then now we're back at The Necromancer Necromancer did not like you attacking it very upset this Necromancer well you know it's the way the cookie crumbles Necromancer we're gonna try a ray of sickness again okay try one more one more time with the ray of sickness get up come on get down with the sickness uh a disturbed fan yeah that's gonna be a 12. so 12 plus seven oh 90. I'm sorry [ __ ] well then well yeah could you go back to the original match yeah no no no in fact I think the only reason you dash it the first time was because I missed that plus seven so that this hits uh and when it hits this Ray of sickness uh to do it d8 poison damage and you have to make a constitution uh saving girl and I can't use my shield attack my shield spell no you can you can raise your armor class yeah but would that wait what was the role as a reaction it was uh so total is 19. and if you roll it to 20 it would basically yeah if you go up by five if you steal the rose it's 20 he wouldn't hurt you right so I should use it definitely use this okay yeah yeah because I can see that this sickness that the Necromancer has cast in my direction it looks incredibly unpleasant I cast my shield Spell surrounding myself with protection hopefully fingers crossed that unfortunately does raise your armor enough so again that bright white Shield uh that's stopped the where uh Eagle pops up again and deflects this Ray of sickness and The Necromancer said says I really wanted to get down with the sickness and but he doesn't uh and then okay The Necromancer can't hit apparently be nasty you're up you've got a a regular zombie and a ogre zombie on the ground my gut instinct tells me get rid of the plebe first but I feel like this ogre is going to cause a lot of problems only you could re-roll exactly what you rolled before another 20. yeah I know I was looking at my bag of stuff and I have I have holy water I have steaks water I do but my Maul does more damage because I have a plus three but these are Undead creatures yeah I guess in Undead I was looking at it it does two D6 radiant damage but my Mall does 2d6 plus three so it's like you know yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah all right I'm gonna go take care of this little plebe skeleton zombie it's going to attempt it so I'm going to roll my 320 to see if I hits with my huge ass small and I have a 19. hey yep that's gonna hit that he hits their armor roll me some damage got a three a five got eight 13 damage bayabi 13 damage on the ogre yes it is on the ogre so you uh whack into that ogre yeah tell me what happens he's still standing though yeah the son of a [ __ ] with my badass mall but he's pretty unfazed because he is a huge ass ogre and I don't really know what there is to say maybe I take out a chunk of his flesh on the side but it doesn't matter because he's still standing I don't care about the intimate details I just want to know if it's dead or alive no it's a lot technically technically yeah you check it it's Undead yeah he took out a chunk of its flesh though Sam if we if you and I could somehow I mean I know you're delicate right now but if we could Prime that Cannon and shoot it again I'd hid behind it technically right now you had you hid behind the crates the cannon is still over by oh I see sorry never mind I didn't do that yay now it's the ogre's turn and the ogre didn't like that you hit him with your mole and he's gonna come after you with his Morning Star cool well Plus 6 18. yeah yeah okay so that's to the eight plus four what he's got a morning start yeah let's see you know what I also find it suspicious that we haven't found any healing potions along our way so I'm just gonna throw that out there well we could have gone to the fisherman's Hut but nobody wanted to except for I guess technically be nastier dead but uh nine damage to you well you've killed me congratulations make a saving throw make a depth saving throw 14. you succeeded yeah who's the undead ogre now [ __ ] yes so you are still alive uh but you are barely clinging to light you kind of collapse across that the yeah you're over by the canyon so you kind of collapse across the Canon that was the ogre's turn zanzara you're up getting really bad down here um oh God okay I've always loved you I don't know what I want to do I'm hiding behind these crates I'm gonna run around the backs like so that they don't have an opportunity of attack on me okay skirt around to the side of the cannon okay you want to get back to the cannon and fire another one yeah I mean it's our best shot otherwise we are we're all Dead Men Walking Dead unless she can kill the Necromancer and it goes down like alert yeah hilariously uh from this angle that you're now at since you ran around and kind of aimed the cannon uh it you'd have to shoot basically through the other zombie to hit the other one but it's one it's a skeleton yeah you could get it on here all right roll me a Range attack raise your attack be good be good it's funny what is it it's a four oh wow I appreciate the valley effort though Simon you will die okay you you so you you say you slip well yeah so I'm trying to load the cannon but I I yeah I just I I slipped I slip and I do an oopsie and I don't okay it's muddy it's not your fault yeah okay the skeleton sees you doing this and is going to attack you fair enough we don't have to worry about the dragon guys because I don't think we're gonna lift he's a dragon you know what I think right you might well in here we are definitely and I definitely are now oh yeah we'll die together we can hold hands okay uh that was a 11. that doesn't hit you okay yeah so yeah once again clinks off your armor era era you're up again seeing how successful my wand of magic missiles was the last time I attacked the Necromancer I raised my wand high and cast it towards the Necromancer again okay automatically hit roll me some damage quite literally could be our only hope you got this three or three and a three a three a three and a three plus one for each dice so it's four four so it's twelve twelve damage okay uh yeah these magic missiles come in they find their target pew pew pew oh and uh The Necromancer uh takes blast you have rendered me him unconscious describe how that happens as my missiles from my wand hit the Necromancer the first one explodes the dark energy around him the second one is a direct hit stumbles him backwards and the third one knocks him to the ground and Little Birdies are circling around his head excellent and as you do that the two zombies on the ground the ogre zombie and the other skeleton collapse as if God marionettes with their strings cut I just breathe it's Ivory Leaf against the cat I'm like oh thank God you guys doing okay down there thanks Laura no I owe you a drink I came back from the dead great uh so you have defeated uh Batu The Necromancer uh yes oh you didn't know that's right actually you don't know his name because he never said anything um well he just [ __ ] up but nothing useful yeah so what would you like to do you've got a prince tied up up there you've got hey so am I unconscious or I have one she's at zero right uh or would you do a saving throw do you go to one yeah you go to one but I'll say because you're no longer in danger your friends have time to tend to your wounds yeah I would go help her so I had to send down on to the to the platform where the prince is tied up and I take my dagger out and I cut his cut his bonds and and lift him off and say hey Reynard Renard sorry sorry buddy I didn't mean to you know slice you through the joint of your armor with my eyeshadow it was just an accident I am still getting the hang of all these ice spills my bad reasonable apology everyone that says oh thank you yes yes I understand huh these things happen these things happen thank you so much my father I assure you will reward you greatly when uh when he hears of this uh you're heroics uh we'll go down in Legend in uh in red glass and uh elzar is a very uh very generous King I think you'll find Once uh once he hears about this story so he's very grateful uh he's he's very relieved that you've down this Necromancer Renard I do have a piece of this this puzzle here that I need to let you in on so uh while we were outside trying to come in here to you know rescue you we ran into a dragon and oh oh dear and in order for us to enter the tower on scathe we had to promise the dragon that we would bring him gold you don't happen to have gold on you right now do you a lot of gold no I'm sorry I wasn't uh I'd never travel with much gold I I have 50 gold pieces uh that I normally travel with uh that they didn't Rob from my pouch I don't know what they wanted for me it certainly wasn't my money because they left my pouch on me uh but 50 is all I have I'm not sure that he's a dragon no yeah that and not my 30 that's not going to do it did you explore this Tower at all is there maybe some hidden rooms where we might find some treasure in the tower yeah I have nots I have not explored this Tower at all um yeah we got here's the problem is we have until tonight to get enough gold to appease this dragon or he's gonna burn my friends and I to crispy chicken tenders okay we're gonna become where chickens yes my Lord my word yeah yeah so if you could you know maybe negotiate a nice uh rate with your father so we can all live to see another day and drink another beer or two that'd be fine oh my father would pay what whatever is necessary whatever Ransom is necessary uh once we reach him of course and actually inform him of what's happened yeah how far away is the palace by the way like how long of a job oh I would say about three days all right ladies we offered the prince to the Dragon no cannot do that that's the only way we save our asses in this situation I don't think the dragon's gonna take a down deposit of 80 gold you know what I'm trying to think here we could shelter inside the tower for the night and regain our strength and be protected from the Dragon Inside the tower knowing that he would be waiting for us outside when we leave in the morning but at least we would be rested or we can try to sneak past him yeah I feel like if we hang out in the tower and the dragon comes tonight you might be able to like smell us or some [ __ ] and I might be able to persuade him that 80 gold is a worthy sum for a dragon or I can roll really terribly and it'll go bad for all of us go very bad for all of us yeah I don't know what other options we have here friends Prince Bernard you don't have powers of any sort are you just a just a soldier type no I'm sorry I'm unfamiliar with the the Arcane Arts I I'm I'm a simple human Prince I Prince have you checked out those ruins over there no no I haven't checked out I've been captured I was nowhere near I was I've been tired of y'all I was I was on the road to here yes they took me prisoner they blindfolded me I haven't had the chance to explore I've been tied up yeah I haven't had the chance to explore or do anything do you guys think that we could make for the ruins and make it in the ruins before the dragon find us finds us but yeah I mean they're right there but the problem we have we need to rest we could I don't know if we want to rest in an evil place and I think I think this is where we're going to call it I kind of like the uncertainty hanging in the air about what happens to your party you saved Prince Renard you owe a dragon a lot of money you're not even sure how much you owe him uh and you uh you have an unconscious Necromancer with you uh who you've knocked unconscious and uh a cannon with one Cannonball left no we have two you have two left okay oh great yeah that's right you never fired this never fired the second one yeah you have two cannonballs left uh you're near some ruins that may contain something evil it's it certainly feels that way and uh that's where we'll leave it that's where the curtain will fall on your party uh you guys um uh maybe you haven't seen the other ones but there's other Adventures wandering around this world uh so you never know maybe someone will come to your rescue or something please help us yeah and uh and uh hey but you saved the prince and that's what matters he's alive that I sure didn't kill him luckily it went in his elbow and not his neck that could have been the end it's been real bad sorry guys we could have killed the Prince and still owed the dragon a lot of money with no way of getting that money it would have been up shit's creek for us for sure and also important uh all three of you survived which okay I guess that's fine one or two of you died you knocked us down you knocked two of us I did yeah yeah you were in death saving there yes I don't even know how this work but I know you almost died oh yeah oh yeah all right and uh yeah we will see you all next time bye-bye okay I hope you

nC_zX7QdKRk	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nC_zX7QdKRk	Destiny 2: New Warlock Ornaments! \| Season of the Wish	so for today warlocks we're going to be looking at your ornaments for season of the wish so if you guys don't know we've already done the Hunter and the Titan video they're both right here and I really like a lot of them uh I think the hunters got some dope ornaments and the example sets that I made are amazing Titans I think the same thing as well aside from the fact that the helmet ornament that you guys got unfortunately Shades pretty terribly and not like super super terrible cuz they do change color is just the fact that the main colors are off colors and not only that that uh you just have to work around some of that um but the second like example set that I made absolute fire definitely check it out but warlocks I'm going be honest with y'all I like one of your ornaments and the other one I'm just like but like poor why poor K like we don't we didn't need this but you guys will see when we get into it let me know what you guys think I appreciate you guys remember to hit the Bell notification if you guys want to keep up to date with my current content because I do think it's worth it considering I post quite a lot of content just by me myself and yeah I don't think I've stopped making content for like a good month of just two videos a day which is pretty wild that being said one of them is a short but I still think it's pretty wild that I'm posting pretty much a video a day so I appreciate you guys let's just get into it so to start off we're going to be looking at the CLA Claus of alamara so finally it got an ornament and damn did it get one of the coolest ornaments beastly whisper so this is obviously an inspiration from the actual enemy type I forget what their name is it's basically the cabal dogs and I think the war Beast or some like that I think it looks amazing I definitely think this is one of the coolest arms that the warlocks got just because they really just looked at the war beast and was like let's take the best pieces from the warbeast and make it into an arm and Jesus Christ did they actually hit that off like you see these spikes on the like the edge of the arm you see these like the claws these scales everything just is amazing for the actual shading I actually don't mind it at all like I think it looks fine I have no like I really don't have anything to like really about aside from the fact that like some shaders make the scales look kind of like Ashy and not in a good way abys and Gold's a great example of this but other than that like I think it looks amazing as for the example set I'm going to be honest with you guys um unfortunately I was going to say I don't think the right class got this ornament excuse me oh excuse me uh I was going to say that I don't think the right class got this because the Titans have the most cabal uh themed pieces that being said Titans already do have a warbeast themed ornament for the arms they're actually for the doomfang pauldrons so at that point it's kind of a moot point because like again Titans already have that ornament so so warlocks getting it isn't a big problem I guess I would have liked to see it on a hunter but I guess we'll eventually see it but let me know what you guys think do you guys think warlocks getting this is fine again I love this ornament it looks really cool it's just combining it with other cabal theme pieces is going to be rough because again like I said psionic speaker does not invoke like Super C Ball themes for me but I guess the season of The Chosen ornament will look good and the season of the Risen which is the pionic stuff will also look pretty good with it uh because if you guys don't know season of The Hunt we ended up getting the activity armor and the more specifically I would say um the the seasonal ornaments were all enemy specific armor so the hunters for me at least I think so got Fallen themed armor Titans got cabal themed armor and then warlocks got Hive themed armor to be fair though the hi themed armor for warlocks is kind of ass the Titans actually pretty good and the hunters is actually my favorite I actually think I've made a review of the armor if I have it I'll have it up right now just so you guys can check it out but I definitely think warlocks getting a cabal themed is not bad because we all did end up getting a cabal themed set with the psionic stuff um from season of The Chosen I want to say either season of The Chosen or season of the other cabal season I don't remember either way like we got we got a chest piece that I could use which obviously you guys have been seeing it the cabal psionic speaker robes but I don't think it fits just because psionic speaker robes sees it's it's more of a like a Scion thing more than a beast so I still like it don't get me wrong I still think it looks really really cool I would probably switch out the helm no no I like the spikes I think the spikes looks really good honestly the whole thing is just spikes like I'm trying to go spiky as much as possible that's why I'm using the ceratops bond that's why I'm using the mobile EXO EXO skeleton boots because there's a spike at the bottom and on the on the knee and the starfires obviously everything has spikes except the chest piece so I don't know let me know what you guys think about this for the Shader we're using full throated Roar which again I will be making the Shader videos soon hopefully but yeah let me know what you guys think about this one and then last but not least we have crystalline load St so this one is the one where I'm like but like why though because as much as I want to like it I can't help but just feel like we just got an ornament for this one we don't need another one especially one that just kind of looks it doesn't look basic but godamn does it not look good to me like God like it's I'm so conflicted cuz on one hand like it looks cool definitely but it you know what it is you know what it is it's not in the same level as all of the ornaments and that's I think my biggest problem is cuz like the hunters ornaments all amazing Titan ornaments all amazing warlocks one of them's cool this one's just like not hitting that same level for me like the the Titans and Hunter and yeah Titans and Hunters I feel like both your ornaments were just like yo that is wild this one just seems like kind of boring if if I'm being quite honest with y'all like if they really wanted to wow me I feel like the that like geode thing that's on the actual arm um Not only would I have it be moving but I would also have like an animation where it comes up and then comes back down like make it look cool no but overall I just think it's kind of a boring ornament if I'm being honest yeah compared to like all of the other ornaments it's just I find it lacking I guess as for shaders I think it shaders pretty well at least from memory yeah it shaders pretty well um my only gripe is the fact that like well I guess isn't it no yeah it's I see it for the other shaders um okay so for example let's look at ancient wisdom you guys will see on one of the corners of the actual arms um hopefully I'll like actually show you it has this green color and that's actually the off coloror for ancient wisdom you guys will also notice in Echo anger there's that white like almost discoloration like you that metal has touched something a lot I'm not a big fan of that but then you get into like abyssian gold then you notice oh it's not there anymore even though May maybe it's there maybe but then you get to like cryptic Insignia and I can't even see it anymore so it might just be some shaders you'll see like some discoloration there and some you don't but that's not helping this at all it's not helping as for the example set I actually think it looks pretty cool like legitimately my only thing is I've kind of already made this set before so for this one I ended up going for like a research SL AR archaeology type thing I don't know for yeah I've actually yeah I made this set a few times I think it was the boots that no it might have been armed or helmet either way ancient apocalypse Hood with the crystalline load star for the osmo mancy gloves the Intrepid in Quarry robes Hal fast boots and then coronation bond for the Shader we're going to be using iron bone just because the ancient apocalypse Hood unfortunately has a lot of discoloration you can definitely still see it but it's not as bad as some other shaders which is why I ended up going for ancient wisdom or ancient apocalypse I should say I will say though there are some shaders that will actually just turn off that discoloration but unfortunately I was just too lazy to try to find it but yeah that is pretty much it I like like I said I think this looks pretty cool like I would actually have this in the back of my pocket if I was trying to go for like a researcher type thing or like an Indiana Jones type thing especially combining with the cowboy hat I feel like that would be really cool but other than that I'm just kind of like me whatever like it looks cool but just not at the same level as the other sets that I've made because this one just looks kind of basic so warlock I'm not trying to bash on you it's just unfortunately osmo mancy gloves I think the other ornament looks way better and honestly I feel I really feel like we did not need another osmo man ornament so let me know what you guys think I appreciate you guys if you guys have been hearing my cat sorry we I did mention this on the in the hunter video but he is back um this is still that day when I record the hunter video and yeah he's just kind of mouthy because he's I guess he's either hungry afraid or just nervous in general but let me know what you guys think I appreciate you I appreciate y'all be safe I see you guys [Music] later

bWQk2Mz28bM	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWQk2Mz28bM	Misquoting Jesus: 5 verses taken out of context	to all right so today you know God gave the church a very he's right there I just saw him God gave the church a very um a very important tool when he gave us the Bible I'm sure you all AG all agree with me when I say that the Bible is our all-sufficient guide to faith in daily living it has the answer to everything that we're looking for it is the the manual that God's given to us and we need to remember that that God gave us this book to give us Direction but sometimes in our enthusiasm to make it seem real to us we'll take a verse out of context um and make it mean something that it doesn't really mean um so scripture must be understood in its context because if you don't put it in its context you can literally make it say anything you can use the Bible as a as a weapon against people to make them to to beat them up and make them feel bad about themselves you can use it to to justify a wrong attitude you have you can literally use the Bible for any evil thing that you want so that's why it's important to understand it in its context um does does somebody have their Bible that they can you want to uh can you turn is St Peter uh 3:16 good yes please second Peter 3:16 right yes okay as also in all his letters speaking in them and these things in which are some things hard to understand which are untaught and stable distort as they do also the rest of the scriptures to their own destruction Peter's writing here and he's saying basically that there are some people in the church that are taking the letters that Paul wrote and they're twisting it because they don't really understand it it's pretty much the same thing that we've got going on tonight I mean not tonight but in the world today so we're going to look at five commonly misunderstood um verses the first one is you you hear people and and it's not it's not that it's not that this one really causes that much harm it's just that it do it's not really what the verse is talking about um we hear people go to prayer and and they use this a lot where two or more are gathered and basically it kind of gives the impression that if you're not praying with two people God's not going to hear you you know what I mean and that's not the idea in fact that's not even what the verse is talking about the verse has absolutely nothing to do with prayer um we see in MA in Matthew 28:16 through2 that as we go and Minister God is always with us and we see in John 14:13 that as we pray according to God's will he provides for us but in MA Matthew 18:15 through 20 which is what where this verse is taken from uh he's not even Jesus isn't even just talking about prayer this is what it says if your brother sins against you go and tell him his fault between you and him alone if he listens to you you have gained your brother but if he does not listen take one or two others along with you that if that every charge may be may be established by the evidence of two or three Witnesses if he refuses to listen to them tell it to the church and if the if he refuses to listen even to the church let him be to you as a gentile and a tax collector truly I say to you whatever you bind on Earth shall be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on Earth shall be loosed in heaven again I say to you if two of you agree on Earth about anything they ask it will it will be done for them them uh by my Father in heaven for where two or three are gathered in my name there I am among them Jesus is actually talking about church discipline here when this is basically the model that that the Bible shows us that two people will have a conflict and usually this is resolved when they go and talk to each other because half the time honestly the conflict that you have with that person is just a misunderstanding that will work itself out when you go and talk to them it's not even that they're wrong it's just it's just a misunderstanding you know what I mean sometimes they will genuinely be wrong and so you go on and talk to them about this and they sometimes won't listen so then you take other people as Witnesses so that the story gets established that this is actually what happened nothing's going to get taken out taken out of like blown out blown away you know and then after that you take it to the leadership why is this because when you take a problem to the leadership the pastor and the elders they're going to have the discernment to know if they're if this person's right or wrong see you what I mean and and then they'll be able to take the next step and when the leadership joins with with this person and taking the charge against them then they are obviously and clearly doing something wrong um so 15 is talking about going one-on-one with the person that you have the disagreement verse 16 is about having witnesses to confirm um uh verse 17 is about having everyone involved in the decision so that so that it's it's not just you know the sect of the church is kicking people out when they have no authority to do that um yes go ahead um I think a lot of times um the person finds that to change yeah yeah and you know honestly I I'm not trying to sound like super humble here but that's about how most of the time when I when I go and do that I I I end up that you know I'm the one who has to go to go to the Lord and repent and say you know I'm I thought I was so righteous and I I wasn't the job in the situation um so then Verse 18 talks about God will support discipline carried out by a CH a church since it affirms his will it is God's will that the discipline is carried out in the church and that those who are causing problems are taken care of not I mean like not like BR under the rug I mean that they're brought back to reconciliation God always always desires that they be brought back so um so then verse 19 uh as we is talking about as we seek God in judicial issues civil law in the church he will work it out God will guide the discipline process um and in verse 20 where Witnesses have sufficiently done their part to bring a restoration God supports supports the discipline uh process listen to it one more time 18 uh verse uh verse uh 20 for where two or three are gathered in my name there I am among them when you are seeking when you are seeking the justification of the church in the name of the Lord he will be there with you see so it's not actually talking about prayer why is that important to know in its context first off if you are ever in a position if you ever are in a leadership position or something like that where you have to carry out discipline God is with you go with God go with God's power because you know that he is he is guiding the discipline process it is his will to perfect the church next um when you go to prayer God will still hear you if it's just you by yourself you don't have to have two or more gathered in prayer to for God to hear you see so to see how it's important to understand it in its context talks about something completely different next verse that I find a lot taken out of context text is don't judge um usually used to justify improper Lifestyles you hear this from a lot of people in the world who don't want the church to tell them that what they're doing is wrong don't don't judge don't judge me I you can't judge me you know that's not really what this is talking about we'll get there um but yet we just saw that God supports discipline in the church so is God double-minded no let's go to Matthew 7 Matthew 7 starting in verse one and going chap uh verse 6 Matthew 7 1-6 and this is what it says judge not that you be not judged for with the Judgment you pronounce you will be judged and with the measure you use will be measured to you pay attention to that we'll get right back to that why do you say see the speck that is in your brother's eye but do not notice the log that is in your own eye um or how can you say to your brother let me take the speck out of your eye when there is um when there is a log in your own eye you hypocrite first take the log out of your own eye and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye do not give dogs what is Holy and do not throw your pearls before pigs lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you now this obviously is not about not judging because if you look at the end of it it says look what he says right here first take the log out of your own eye so that you can see clearly to take this spe out it doesn't say never take this back out it says first work on your attitude now why does he start it off judge not that you be not judged the imagery here that he's drawing from is actually from the Jewish marketplace where they would have measures when you were buying stuff they'd have these measuring weights and they'd measure it out so that the coin that you were paying it would make it would be they would be able to make sure that you were paying verbatim they didn't have cash registers like they do nowadays um so that you knew what as you were as you were as you were handing out you were being handed you know you it was a fair trade and so the image he's talking about here is don't be a judgmental condemning person because if you go around condemning everybody and always being harsh on everybody else you're going to get a name for yourself and people aren't going to treat you very nice it's a very basic principle treat people how you want to be treated if you judge people harshly all the time and you're doing this wrong you're doing this wrong you're doing this wrong this you're not going to get any Mercy later on from the those same people because they're going to remember this person doesn't give Mercy um so now in verse three um so hold on so it talks about being a judgmental person here's also something else to notice a speck is something that's small that's caught in the eye that comes out on its own but it is irritating while it's there remember that a spec comes out on its own so what he's talking about here is you're you're judging someone for something that's not even that big of a deal and it's going to work itself out anyways you know what I mean you're hopping the gun here with judgment you're being too quick to judge don't be quick to judge that is it's a very simple simple idea that he's saying he's not saying do not judge do not have wisdom and he's not saying be bringing this person here he's saying do it with discretion be wise in what you do um so verse three why do you see the specs in your brother's eye but do not notice the log to in your own eye uh judge your heart make sure to examine yourself the true Christian looks at himself and Compares himself to Christ and says am I am do I have do I have false ting to work out see what I mean the the growing true Christian doesn't say look how righteous I am he looks at himself and says how can I be more like Christ see see the different mindset that Christ is kind of trying to show here um so uh and then four verse four is more talking about um uh correcting him let me take this spe out of your own eye when there when there's a log in your own eye um so then disciples must accept rebuke and Survey themselves if you claim to be a disciple of Christ and somebody brings uh brings a a trespass against you something that that they say that you've done wrong to them you need to listen and genuinely go to the Lord in prayer and ask yourself it doesn't matter if you like that person or not you need to listen what to what they have say because you might be blind to your own fault I I can guarantee about 90% of the time that I've been reprimanded by somebody I was wrong and I didn't know I was wrong even sometimes I wasn't wrong originally and then I because I ex displayed an attitude later on I became wrong so I'm just saying when when when a when a when a when when somebody rebukes you for something the true Christian needs to be wise and and listen um there's always some truth even even in even in many lies remember that um so survey yourself uh when Believers work on themselves and refuse a judgmental condemning attitude towards others They See Clearly with a humble attitude and God can then use them to reach another so we are not told to not judge we are uh told to judge with right attitude and not too quickly don't assume another's motives don't assume the heart behind what someone else is doing um your bias the way you understand things could be blinding you um and then which brings us to this last verse which people I think too quickly jump over do not give dogs what is Holy and do not throw your pearls before pigs lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you this is a bigger principle because this is true in many many occasions but as he is talking about it here he's talking about do not give to dogs what is Holy okay now dogs and pigs we're talking about these dogs that he's talking about dog dogs in this Jewish setting is not it's not a pet it's more of a wild animal think of it like that it's more of a a beast it's something that would attack you out in the wild you know what I mean it's not something that you actually want to make be friends with uh so do do not give to to dogs what is Holy and do not throw your pearls before pigs what is what are your pearls in this context T what was he just talking about he was talking about correcting someone correction don't give correction to someone who's hard-hearted don't to the foolish person because they won't listen to you they'll turn on you and they'll attack you for it when you try to Proverbs talks about this too um it talks about you know don't don't don't don't reprend a foolish person because they'll turn on you they won't listen to you and then again Jesus brings it right back up when you give your your pearls to a pig they're going to they're going to turn right back on you they're and they're going to trample over you you're going to be harmed by this you know what I mean this is why as Christians we need to be Discerning when we go to the world and try to witness to them we shouldn't go to them and be like oh you're in sin you need to repent why because they're a dog they're a pig they're not going to listen okay they're going to take that that that correction that that we're giving them in in a we may even be giving it in the right attitude but they're going to turn and attack us for it okay you need to give give correction to those people who are actually going to listen okay now sometimes you won't know and you'll go and they won't listen to you they'll get mad at you and you know well you win some you lose some you know but you got to have discretion and and be wise about what you're doing we as Christians can't just turn off our brains and just you know go stumbling out into the dark God expects us to to to take care of things uh W first off with the heart of reconciliation that we actually care for that person being reunited with God and second secondly we need to do it with a very patient patient calm understanding demeanor don't be too quick in your words um as there is this one thing that happened when I was back at College I still felt dumb for this one an issue happened where where they blocked the internet and you couldn't get on uh social media sites and if you guys know college kids that's about the end of the world so I everybody was all upset and I sent a big old nasty email to one of the it guys you know this isn't right I'm paying for this you know I I really told him a part of my mind and uh and you know the thing is is is is it was an accident the inter the internet updated and the automatic update blocked all social media they just had had they needed another two hours to reset it that was it but little did I know that the guy that I sent it to David Bush had cancer I never got to tell him I was sorry just passed away about two months ago see I wasn't smart I wasn't smart I didn't think about what I was doing before I said it Jesus here is is is encouraging wisdom don't be dumb don't be ignorant Church think about what you're doing before you do it don't just say something are you saying it with the right attitude are you saying it in the right way and are you saying it at the right time sometimes pigs and dogs turn into Kings we just got to give them a little more time that's right you know we're not supposed to do God's job but we are still supposed to have discipline within the body we're still supposed to have discernment don't be a fool don't be a fool so this is also why Jesus says to dust off your feet um so you can uh dust off your feet when when a city doesn't listen to you and go to the next city because you'll waste your time on a city that won't listen to you when there's a city right down the way that would listen to you you're wasting your time trying to throw your Pearl to a pig when there when there when there's someone right down the way that that's just waiting for you to listen and your hangup on this one part could prevent that person who would have accepted from hearing because you weren't wise the person rejected so move on to the person who will listen Okay um so uh the first one the truth will set you free you hear this all the time all the time did you know that it's not actually talk talking about telling the truth do you guys know that it's not talking about telling the truth it's not Mom knows where I'm going yeah she knows where I'm going let let's read the verse and you'll and you should be able to get it from its context okay John chapter 8 verse 31 John chapter 8 verse 31 and this is what it says in John 8:31 and They begged him sorry and They begged him not to command them to depart Into the abys Now a large herd am I in the right spot no I'm not it is not John 8:31 is it it is it is well2 okay let's keep going okay um and They begged him not to Comm not to command them to part into the abyss now a large h of pigs was feeding there on the hillside and They begged him to let them enter these so he gave them permission oh I'm in Luke okay I was thinking this is not this has nothing to do with the demon-possessed man John 8:31 sorry here we go back on track John 8:31 not Luke okay so this is what it says so Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him if you abide in my word you are truly my disciples and you will know the truth and the truth will set you free they answered him we are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved by anyone how is it that you say will you will be excuse me you will become free verse 34 Jesus answered them truly truly I say to you everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin the slave does not remain in the house forever the son remains forever so if the sun sets you free you will be free indeed I um I know that you are offspring of Abraham yet you seek to kill me because my word finds no place in you in John uh a little bit earlier I believe I think it's at the beginning of chapter 8 I don't really remember where you can look it up um you can look it up later Jesus says I am the way the truth and the life the truth he's talking about is himself that's why it confuses the Jewish people who are listening to him because they're say we're not enslaved what are you talking about anyone who anyone who listen to what he says in in verse 20 sorry 32 no I'm sorry 35 um no 34 actually everyone who commits sin listen to this everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin so if you are a slave then you need someone to set you free who will set you free the truth who's the truth Jesus is the truth so it's not telling the truth that will set you free although yes it is a good idea to tell the truth that often gets us out of a lot of problems but what it's talking about this what this verse is actually talking about is the sun will set you free that's what it's talking about verse four now this one I really hesitate to get too deeply into because because it's true and I don't want you to think that I'm saying that it's not true God works all things for the good well no that's it how people tend to use it is right is usually right God does use all things to for good for for the for for believers not for the world of course obviously for the for for believers yes but the thing is is often times we as Christians use this verse in a way to be shallow so oh oh you you're going through cancer oh God works all things for good oh oh your your son's not saved oh God works all things for good instead of sitting there and weeping with them see what I mean instead of being a brother to them are we family or are we just spouting out them useless verse to them see what I mean yes it does it tells usor mourn with those who mourn and often times all we do is quote this verse to them which means absolutely nothing to them tell me if you're going through cancer are you going to want to hear the dead words God works all things together for good no you're in pain you want someone to stand beside you it may be true that God works all things for good that may be true but that's not the point God wants us to lift each other up to encourage each other and if all we do is just quote a verse to someone who's in pain we're not being good servants we're not being good servants still got a little more time um let make sure I hit everything I want to talk about you know also another thing is is often times we as Christians this is a very sad thing but sometimes we use the Bible to hide behind where people don't actually get to see us they don't actually get to we don't become real with people we don't take the time to show people how we're really feeling and how we're really thinking you know what brother I'm having I'm having some serious doubts about my Christian walk can you can you can you help me can you pray for me you know sister I I was having some dirty thoughts I was on a bad site this week no we don't do that do we we hide behind our Bible verses you know what I mean God doesn't desire that God desires for us to be real with one another so that we can build each other of you can't build someone up if they won't lower the wall it's impossible you cannot because they won't let you into the wall for them to lift them up you can't do it but if you lower your guard and you be real with someone I've got genuine struggles and I need your real help then you allow that person to come in and tell you where your faults are and allow them to discipline and correct you and you listen to them and you allow them to lift you back up then growth will happen then growth will happen you know how you know how you cause cause fruit to grow to grow on a fruit tree you got to prune it you know what the first step of pruning is cutting off the dead you got to take off the dead sometimes you you know trees can't prune themselves you know that we need someone to come alongside us we need people to be real with and God desires for that to be the church so basically yes that is true though if you are if you are in the body God Satan desires Destruction for you there are people out there who desire Destruction for you the remember we are fighting principalities and Powers we're are fighting the darkness never forget that we're not fighting our brother we're fighting the devil and all of his minions okay but don't forget what what the enemy is mean for harm God can turn for good God can turn it for good God can sometimes God has to discipline you sometimes he allows things to happen but in the end he will use it towards the good of his body and he will use it for the for his glory he will you may not see it now understand this God using something for the good is not using it in a way that you understand sometimes the good is something that you'd never understand on this on this world sometimes you won't ever understand it it'll just seem like a lose lose situation to you and then you get to heaven you'll see okay God had something bigger in mind sometimes that's how it happens I'm not God you can ask him about it when you get there the fifth verse the fifth and final verse that I want to talk about that is often misquoted I can do all things through Christ who strengthens [Laughter] me boy oh boy oh boy usually this this is used as an excuse to live selfishly usually people use this verse to say I can do all things I can do whatever I want because of Christ you know we got this special thing worked out I can do it that's not what he's talking about at all not about at all let's turn there Philippians 4 10-4 once you understand this in its rightful context text this is a truly powerful verse but you must first understand that this is not a get out of jail free ticket this is not a I can get whatever I want on this world ticket this is not a I can claim name it and claim it and God can just has to give it to me because his word says so that's not what this is about at all once you learn this principle this is a principle once you learn this you can find contentment in the world Philippians 4:10 and this is what it says I rejoiced in the the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me you are indeed concern you are indeed concerned for me but you had no opportunity not that I'm speaking of being in Need for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content I know how to be brought low and I how to how to abound in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger abundance and need going through hard times and Good Times verse 13 I can do all things to him who strengthens me basically what he's saying here this is how you'll know if you're using misusing this this verse is it are you saying is it's about what I can accomplish or are you saying it's what it's what it's about what God can guide me through if you're saying it's about what God can guide me through you're using it right if you're saying it's what I can accomplish you're using it wrong okay this is not a I'm going to get I'm going to get a uh I'm going to get a Ferrari because I can do all things I'm going to be the top CEO in the world and everybody's going to tremble before my fist because I can do all things through Christ no no I'll for just a second um um the the truth is what it's saying is no matter what we are brought through Christ can guide us through he's in charge he's there Paul's writing this from prison okay he just been beaten for like I think the at this time I think it was the fifth time fourth third or fifth somewhere around there more of the story he's been he's been beaten he's he's lost everything he literally has nothing at this point he's in prison and he's writing a letter soon to he's soon to be beheaded and he's writing this letter to the Philippians and he's saying I I I have had enough money to spare to get me by and I I I've been in hunger and in need where I had nothing and you know what I found the secret to being content Christ is my strength I can be there with Christ go ahead sendy it also tells us that if he gives us something to do yes thanks buddy I'm not a leader I'm not a not I'm going through the and time I I got yes in essence of you can be content you can accomplish anything that God has in I I I am a very on a personal level unorganized person but when I am put in a place in leadership I become very organized because he puts me there and he's organized when I'm working with a friend that I work she's a friend now when I first started with she is a very precise person and very clean and her house is in everything is in place and I can keep it there I know how to do her house my house is a r unfortunately and every time I complain about it lately God says people are more important go do what I told you to do first but it is getting accomplished slowly but the thing is I can do all things through Christ When Calls yeah do gu's Direction going out on my own I'm on my face I've done few it reminds me of the story where where where and I know you guys have all probably heard this but it just keeps sticking with me um this guy had been walking on the beach and you know he he he reaches Heaven he looks back and he says you know there there there's two foot sets of footprints and and every once in a while the same the second pair of footprints just disappears and God says and he says to God where were you with where were you in those Hard Times back there I was walking by myself he said no no no I was carrying you you know that's what the Bible the Bible is the Bible I I'll say it again the Bible is our all sufficient guide for Faith and daily living it needs to be rightly divided and it needs the we we deserve to give it the attention that that attention we we deserve to do that it deserves that remember this God gave us this so that we could know him it if you got a love letter from your from your your your spouse or you know if you're not married from your you know kid or if you don't have kids from a friend whatever um if you got a got got a letter and you didn't even read it I mean think about that you that that person obviously put forth the time to write you the letter and you're not even going to take the time to open it that's almost as bad as as opening it partway and taking taking um one Clause one dependent clause out of a sentence and quoting that instead of the instead of the rest of the sentence quote scripture in scripture and take the time to learn scripture that's what I'm saying don't take scripture out of out of context and don't use the weap don't use the Bible as a weapon to beat people up with don't do it understand understand the idea of a verse before you quote that verse and understand that there are the every verse applies to our applies to our life today every single verse you may not understand it at the time but if you study I believe that the Holy Spirit can lead you there I believe he can so and and and and imation we talked about uh the verse in Matthew 18 where two or more gathered talking about church discipline we talked about uh don't judge from Matthew 7 it telling us actually to judge but to judge with the right attitude and at the right time and we talked about uh the third verse we talked about was the truth will set you free and we talked about how that truth is actually Jesus who sets you free from sin the first fourth verse we talked about is God works all things for the good and that one pretty much is used correctly most of the time that now remember it is towards the body all things for the for the good of those who believe those who believe so don't forget to not don't forget to include that last part of that but pretty much people use it use use that one right um but just don't use scripture as a fall back instead of being real with someone and then fifth um we talked about I can do all things through Christ and how that's actually talking about finding contentment in in and submitting to God's leadership um so with that we're done please join me with the word of prayer Lord we pray that you give us the wisdom and the uh discernment to to understand your your word rightly and to give it the time that it that it that it needs in our life so that we can be reshaped and that our mind can be renewed um excuse me uh and that we can we can rightly apply it to our lives when we do that um I I pray that you would bless everyone who came to tonight help them to get home safely we pray for um for lost family members who are in our hearts so excuse me heav uh uh so heavily burdened on our hearts Lord uh we pray that you you would open up their open up their their spiritual eyes help their help their ears to hear well Lord and um pray that you'd reach out to them and draw them in help us to be used as your tools uh we love you Lord amen amen	Michael Borror	UCCed1AT8GgHe5wQlFAUH-WQ	2014-04-05	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

you can read along with the screen without say man amen now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the sons of Israel I didn't want to do this but it's calling out to me sometimes God will just shut your enemies up y'all gonna see that right there right sometime God would just shut the whole just shut up okay all right Jericho was tightly shut up because of the sons of Israel and no one went out or came in Lord Jesus [Music] how they feel about you will stop their blessing I'm trying to help y'all this this is in the Bible I'm making this up because of the sons of Israel nobody went out or came in no blessings went out no blessings came in the city was locked up because of the sons of Israel and then the Lord said to pastor Dante uh put your name my name here right okay see I have given Jericho into your hand with his king and all its valiant warriors you shall march around the city all of the men of war circle in the city once you shall do this for six days somebody say six days also seven priests shall carry the seven trumpets of rams horns before the Ark of the Covenant then on the seventh day somebody say the seven days come on look at somebody and just say sunday is coming man I don't care how your Monday feels sunday is coming are y'all with me today then on the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times how many times many times seven times and the

shall shout with a great and the wall of the city will fall down flat and the people will go up every man straight ahead and it means they'll run away they'll run away you won't even have to fight they'll run away so Joshua son of nun called the priest and said to them take up the Ark of the Covenant and let seven priests carry the seven trumpets of rams horns before the Ark of the Lord then he said to the people go forward around the city and let the armed men go on before the Ark of the Lord and it was so that when Joshua has spoken to the people the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets of rams horns before the Lord went forward and blew the trumpet somebody say blew the trumpets and the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord followed them the Ark follows them the armed man went out before the priests who blew the trumpets and the rear guard came after the Ark while they continued to blow the trumpets skip all the way down to verse 20 skip all the way down to verse 20 verse 20 picks up right here so the people shouted and the priests blew the trumpets and when the people heard the sound of the trumpet the people shouted with a great shout and the Wall fell down flat does

God Chase's Church I just want you to understand something there is a fresh wind that's blowing through this church yeah has to say that all the time it's okay you don't got to believe me you're gonna get caught up in it just a second a fresh wind is being blown through this church a first win it's about to start listen it's about to start lifting some people up all you have to do is flap you understand that it's the wind that keeps us in the air you keep trying to get away from the wind you keep trying to get it but see the birds know how to use the wind in the okay so it's the fresh wind that's blowing through our church and I believe that God is surrounding our church he has literally drawn a circle around our church and and I'm so grateful for what he's doing but I want you to know that sometimes it don't feel good when God picks on you everybody want to be picked nobody want to be picked on but I'm grateful to God that we're in the season of being picked on amen we're in the season where he gonna start cutting some stuff and changing some stuff and y'all can't celebrate with me it's okay Italy I'm gonna celebrate by myself God doing a new thing that God takes so so so he's giving me this this this series and we started this series talking about digging around remember there was a fruit tree that was thinking I remember this fruit tree that I was thinking it had a lot of leaves but no fruit I'll tell you my little video my little tree okay I will try to hit me right here though God is digging around in some of y'all's lives that's why I feel the way the feels that's why I feel tumultuous it feels like things aren't imbalance in fact some of you in your relationship is out of balance cuz you sitting next to him just look at me it's okay look at me some of y'all brave you like mmm your relationship is out of balance your job situation is out of balance your your manager not here you can shout right here to balance a little out of way and what God is saying is can you trust me to get you through this situation right here because it's not yeah though I walk too it's yea though I walk through and I can trust the same God that brought me to it to get me okay so he said i'ma start digging up around the people of God and I was like okay God okay God and he said the reward of faithfulness is fertility the rewarded your faithfulness and if you just stay stay faithful while he's digging up around your life stay faithful why he's digging up around your relationship stay faithful why he's digging up around your job why he's digging up around your faith stay faithful he said in the reward for faithfulness is fertility God is about to put some fertilizer on some seed that you have in the he showed me this God is about to put he said I'm about to put some accelerant on it he said where where it would normally take you two years to do it I'm gonna do it in two weeks all of a sudden fruit is gonna start showing up but then he also said something because remember we don't office Kate that responsibility we don't put it all on God but it's our job to build around our own mess it's our job to fertilize our own stuff amen amen so he took us remember he took us to a young man named Nehemiah and he said I need you to build the wall is anybody building anything in here today he took us to a young man and he said I'm calling some people to build in this season hear me right here cuz this is prophetic I need you to hear me right here cuz this this might not be for everybody but it might be for you okay he says he says God has called you I've called you to build some things in this season he said but the fences you build now will fortify your next season the fences though the work you do now he said it'll protect you in the next season the work you do now what does that mean pastor don't say well I don't know work it's the work maybe it's the work we'll start in your business maybe it's the work you do sewing into your family maybe you need to call off a dare - told you your boss wasn't here and spend some time with your family spent some time fortifying okay alright y'all still with me today I know it's getting serious now you got a can't be a man and you got to be thinking okay he said but that's why I frustrated you but you supposed to fix it that's why I frustrated you that's why the last season frustrated you that's why your relationships frustrated you I'm helping you today that's why you your job is frustrated you he said because I'm trying to I'm trying to dig some stuff up around you is anybody I'm just gonna let God do his work in their life today just do me a favor and just say I'm available God I'm available dig around dig around whatever you find that's not like you throw it out so God told me to tell you this he's stretching up your territory but you can't take new territory on you have dug around and built up what was already yours okay y'all with me so far he said so so today is about new territory but I don't want you to think about new territory and not and I remember about your responsibilities are y'all with me today about your responsibilities to the word you hear oh Jesus about your responsibility to what you let in your gates what you let in your ear gate what you let in your eye gate okay yeah I'm trying to help you today because when you get to the new level when you get to the new level you got to be sure you got to be fortified are y'all with me today so so so this is where we show up at Jericho somebody said Jericho now Joshua has shown up at Jericho it's a couple of things I want to teach you about Jericho but first I want to tell you about how Joshua got to Jericho see Joshua was the main man of Moses he was the son of Moses he came out of the camp of Moses but see Joshua was a go-getter Moses okay you know those kind of people who got saved like 30 years ago and they don't do what they used to do but they don't they're not doing no better you know those people who just satisfied with Church as usual nobody's getting saying nobody's changing we still gathering here the same however many of us you know people who just get used to going around in circles and then even in your relationship you know like y'all don't talk for six months and then they call you again and then y'all don't talk about six months and then they call you again and you're like hey I'm gonna break out of this cycle you know see what Moses was that kind of person he was a cyclical person he was a cyclical person and that's why he never had the courage to go into the place that God had promised him now you can't disrespect Moses because he had the courage to come out of the place that he was stuck in are y'all with me today you can't get mad at him it takes courage to come out of a certain situation but it takes another level of tenacity to say yeah I came out but I'm not yeah I came out of fornication I need to do something I need to invest something I'm not satisfied where I am I'm content but I'm not satisfied I'm content there's a difference I'm content but I'm not satisfied sometimes my wife say are you hungry I say I'm content but I'm not sadness I'm not full weight and so what I want to do is get to the place where my cup runneth over I'm okay with the cup half full but I want to see my cup overflows is there anybody else like me in here okay so Joshua so Moses has died and Joshua has led the people of God across the Jordan to the promised land somebody say the promised land okay so Joshua has led his family he has led his people yes I'm talking to you he has led a sound across the Jordan into the promised land but I want you to understand something every time there's a win right after the win there's gonna be a wall Jericho is known as the walled city whenever you have a win I'm gonna be a wall here let me help you with this every time I pray with you I know I'm preaching better than y'all shouting right now you gotta remember the win you got to remember what God did last time you got to remember how you brought you through how you brought you up you got to remember that you've never been forsaken or begging bread that's some big talk right there but Paul said I never seen the righteous forsaken or his seed begging bread I don't got a bag from nobody up I serve the god of the universe what I got a bag for I could go there y'all know I'm alone on Facebook beggin me I'm not begging your pictures are so Jericho um Jericho is a walled city it's a city that's made of wall it's literally walled all around and I wanted to get you guys a picture of this my like but I need you to get this in your holy imagination that there is literally a wall a big giant wall maybe some people say 3 to 6 feet across and then there's an embankment there's a space some people say that's 3 acres and then there's another loss and this is how the city is walled in ok and the soldiers of that city we ride around in their chariots around that embankment just to make sure nobody found their way over the first wall so if you made your way over the first wall you hear me right here you have to deal with the soldiers right here before you can even make your way over the next while I'm trying to help you right here because this is what some of y'all been in your life you got over one wall and now you're dealing with the soldiers that are right here you're trying to get over the next wall and you keep saying god when it when is it when am I gonna be free when am I gonna be able to just have and possess the land that you promised to me without going wall over wall over wall so so so so he says he says he says you guys are gonna take Jericho and I love that Joshua would never rebuts he never he was one of those friends that just fight one of those friends you like some of y'all said yeah cuz that's you were you the friend it's me I'm the one who I'm the friend it's me I'm the friend I'd like to fight Joshua oh don't get it twisted I know who my Joshua was lying here don't be meaning you don't know now but you go fine okay all right so Joshua is one of those he loves to fight he's got a certain level of tenacity now I want to help you right here because some of y'all you have that same tenacity that that book that bull doggedness and you you've got it you got it in you and it keep getting you in trouble some of the wives was like yeah man pasty but I want to be serious I want to keep it 100 here because that's why you keep losing jobs cuz you everything's our offense that's why you don't have any friends everything's our offense everything that I gotta fight listen listen I can't be the only language you speak some of y'all need to learn the language of peace peace I come in peace I didn't mean to offend you I come in peace I tell you all the time about one of my favorite cousins big-time gangster dude hard I'm telling y'all I get him in trouble get him catch a case if I tell you all about his life one day we playing around joking around he had on some nice shoes too I don't some nice shoes they was white BB they was white white it was brand-new wife and I had on some nice shoes that was white white and we was playin around he can't don't jump on my shoes don't step on my shoes and then he fell and stepped on my shoes but I only speak one language something bothers that East Terrace came out I pushed him good I pushed them and then I have to think about who I pushed you know you push somebody in there try to catch them [Applause] I tried to catch him and then my gangster cousin turned around looked at me I said I'm sorry if he can do it if he could say I'm sorry II didn't take nothing off for him it was no sweat easy I'm sorry he said it just like that - high-pitched voice I walked away I was like you better be sorry but I wonder I want you to hear something because there's some Joshua's in this room and you speak that language and every time somebody can I help my church some of the most abrasive ones of y'all are the ones who always offended you the most abrasive you but that's your reason you're offended is because you speak that language so you know soon as they start talking you start raising them levels I'm just if your visitor here I just got to help my church real quick I'm gonna get to some good scripture just wait one second ah at some point nobody wins everybody's offended nobody wins and you got you gotta watch when you when you know that your native languages imma knock you out that's you got to be careful when that's your native language then y'all hit me today okay okay and that's Joshua's native so God comes to Joshua and he says this he says hey there's a city that y'all need to take and Joshua says cool let's do it cuz all he know how to do is fight all he know how to do is wrestle all he knows he's born for it but God says no no no I need you to follow my instructions I'm fine but I want you to do is just gather all your man just walk around the city now I'm sure Joshua was thinking players all I need is a long pole I could get over that wall like a pole vault over that wall like this because this is the language he speaks but God says no no no I need you to walk around in silence I need you to walk around in silence oh you know it hurt right here when somebody offends you and you don't say nothing back start getting abdominal pain gah say no just walk around just walk around so I want to tell you I want it I'm gonna connect these because this is the first major city this is the first major battle that they're gonna have as a new army as a new army of Israel and your first battle matters how you deal with your first battle will reverberate throughout your life how you dealt with your first conflict see some people in here they this last 10 minutes what I've been talking about they have no idea about that because they never dealt with conflict in that way they know how to break down conflict and they know how to apologize you know it hurts your feelings to say I'm sorry for what I said but I'm not sorry I meant but how you face here hit me right here how you face your first fight will reverberate throughout the rest of your eternity your Jericho is significant somebody said my Jericho is significant it's vital to my story see you think what happens in Jericho stays in Jericho like what happens in Vegas or like what happens in your dams I'm loading up I got a number where I'll just waiting for y'all to finish stuffing or what happened in that text message between you and them or what happened in your car hit me right here you were on fire and you think that stays there but it doesn't reverberates because as soon as you get home and then your husband saying hey where you been I'm talking me like that what if I only know how to deal in this arena are y'all with me today I'm trying to make this practical for y'all then we will show let me do this practical stuff you think what happens in Jericho stays in Jericho but it doesn't you send your spirit now you carry it in your spirit so your Jericho fight is so important what happened in Jericho I want you to understand this define them for the rest of their for the rest of their life what happened in Jericho when Nate when they won in Jericho here's the punchline they already they won okay they won in Jericho when they won in Jericho everybody else didn't even put up a fight because if you if you could ask for forgiveness in one place if you could if you could be nice in one place if you can have a sweet spirit in one thing if you could just walk around it yeah I'll just need to learn how you got the problem is here you just got to walk around it the issue is here you gotta walk you don't have to go through every single problem does that make sense okay okay because I need you to get this you can write this down this matters you will always be defined by what you defeated does that make sense I'm always gonna be defined by what I defeated I'm always gonna be defined by what I faced fought and defeated okay so if people know you and people only know you for having this attitude I'm gonna get off this and people only know you for being this kind of abrasive person then they'll they'll deal with you in the way that they know you does that make sense but if I learn how to just walk around oh Jesus okay okay so so so so what happens what happens in Jericho doesn't stay in Jericho what happens in Jericho becomes having you're with me now what happens when what happened because becomes your habit what happens when what happened becomes your habit I'll help you here stop being defined by your history stop being defined by what happened stop been defined by who you used to date stop been defined by how you used to act by who you used to be now you no longer that person you can tell people no I want to introduce you to the new me I'm no longer that person anymore I'm not gonna be defined by what happened does that make sense okay so now they start to walk around Jericho here we go that was my introduction okay I got five minutes okay so they start to walk around jericho somebody say walk around jericho they start to walk around jericho and they do this for six days they just walk around jericho they do this for six days now i explained to you before that this is outside of Joshua's make nature he does not want to do this but sometimes obedience will get you further than tenacity will obedience will get me further than tenacity will obedience will give me further into tenacity will because obedience breaks walls down okay obedience breaks walls down obedience through obedience to the words of God if I can be obedient to the Word of God then I can see the walls that are falling down in my life if I can be obedient until the wall Falls then God said he promised me he'll knock down every single one but the question is can you remain faithful can you remain obedient to what God spoke to you can you remain obedient to the promise that he gave you when it's monotonous when it feels like I'm not getting anywhere when it feels like I'm not achieving anything can I stay faithful to the word that God gave me and when it looks like somebody else is passing me up oh Jesus when it looked like all the mother are these other people getting a little and all kinds of stuff and God saying no nothing just be obedient just be faithful just be faithful just be faithful to that wife give her some time to mature just be faithful to that husband gonna give him some time to get get to know me better to have a relationship can you just be faithful I deal with this in more than anything just got married yesterday want to divorce today have you been faithful to what have you been consistent with your resume look like Swiss cheese you I figured y'all need to stay on that one for a second what what is it what I just can't find no good friends maybe you not a good friend the walk faster now fail two bricks fell two bricks beer coming out what is it that God keeps telling you to do and stay faithful and stay and keep doing it and stay faithful to it and you keep saying well I'll try again I'll try again oh I'll try again I'll let y'all laugh at me a little bit I've been on keto for 10 years every day I'm like I start tomorrow I tried to do good yesterday I got ranch with my wings tap got gravy with us I'd like some gravy she was she wanna eat she stay fine I love them my faith [Applause] as soon as I eat it anything about my face rolling in the mirror start doing what y'all do put that dark stuff I don't know where I mean okay I'm back I got to get back to the world okay okay can you be faithful until you see the results of what you've been praying for does it matter enough for you to stay faithful to it does it matter enough for you to stay consistent with it oh you just try again tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow no no if you can learn to be patient until the walls fall down and faithful to the law start down the steadfast unmovable always abounding in him to the wall fall down you'll see more walls fall down I got with me today I want to say this also obedience destroys obstacles so so so the more I'm obedient all of a sudden things that were difficult for me as I stake him as I stay steadfast unmovable always abounding in him those things become easier obedience destroys your obstacles but everyone in this in this time we live in they want to take their own obstacles without actually taking on obstacles what's that mean well everybody's got something to say who's actually going out to do the work everybody's got a speech about all these this thing or that thing or this this injustice or that injustice but asking them to do something I ask him to do something consistently to do something faithful we always talk about the Martin Luther King March I'm gonna get off this we always talk about the model of the king mark he realized that that wasn't just one March one time they were consistently marching all over the play they were marching to Selma marching in DC marching in Alabama they were marching all over the place you can only do one March take a selfie and go home nothing's ever gonna change I got with me today but I'm looking for some people who's got a Joshua spirit who's got a tenacity spirit who said if God told me to walk around this thing I'm just gonna walk around this thing and God told me that this is this is my family this is my wife I'm a water what God told me to water I'm gonna take care of what God told me to take care of I'm gonna be consistent in the place that God promised me y'all with me today can you do something that seems fruitless until this root for and you do something and just say God said it I believe it that settles it I'm gonna stay right are y'all with me today but-but-but god I love this but because God has not forgotten about you from me y'all are in a place where you've been walking around it and walking around it and walking around and God said no no no I'm right I'm right there I'm right there and if you can get to the seventh day hear me right here if you can get to the seventh day then something happens this is what I need you to understand whatever God says is that is the thing is the thing send me in passive don't take whatever God says is the goal is the goal if he says get to the seven-day you got to get to the seven-day you're not gonna get a half a blessing on a six-day you got to get all the way to where he told you to get are y'all with me today you got to give faithful and consistent to where you told you to get he said walk around it for six days and on on a seven-day walk around to seven times and the whole time just be quiet let's be quiet they see you that I was ringing just some of y'all took what I said last week as I can go brag no God said just be quiet hammers ringing hey see you ain't nobody move in and out listen there's a blessing that stored up for you that can't nobody have I thought that would bless somebody in here there's a blessing that start up for you and nobody can heavy so they get to the seventh day thank you Jesus somebody jump I need I need three people over here and three people over here so they get to the seventh day they get to the seven that's good of course so they did somebody say get to the seventh day the problem for most of us is that we quit on the sixth day you can you get so close you get so ask me how I know cuz I pastor you you get so close to a breakthrough Nene like do I need a break okay okay okay okay I'll give you your break you might miss your miracle stand fast Oh Petey I need to take say Stefano tell me oh yeah you need some time do what you gotta take your priority is whatever is in that circle okay but what I'm telling you right here is don't quit always give up me and my wife we just took giving up out of the equation we just don't we just not gonna give up that's it okay y'all got to get to that place when they get to the seventh day they got to the seventh day and he said I'm a seventh day take seven priests and line them up across the front now I need you to understand some of the six is the number of man say that six is the number of man six is the number of men so so so when God when God says seven what he's saying is I need you to get beyond your ability I need you to get beyond who you are you tried everything you tried to fix it you tried to change it you tried to turn it around you tried to turn him around I mean but God said I need you to get past your ability I need to get into your inability when you get in your inability that's when you in God's ability do y'all understand God is never gonna do in your life what you have the power to do you can write that down take a picture of something God never gonna do in your life when he's giving you power to do so if you asking him to intervene it's because you've gone beyond your oh you've gone beyond your capabilities into his abilities does that make sense so I wondered about this because as I think about the six days and the end and the troops are marching around for six days once every day for six days and then on Saturday they march around six times before anything happens and then when they get beyond themselves right beyond the six God said push seven priests up here lord have mercy bring bring seven priests up here and then when you put the seven priests up here those priests have a responsibility let's lock arms here those briefs have a responsibility now understand something that's three over here that's three over here and three over here that what was this man Oh God put a man in the middle as a representation of not man as a representation of who he is and if you really think about your life there's a man in the middle there's somebody who's got it all under control you don't have to worry about it you keep fretting about it you can work God said get past your ability and there and if you look around there's a man in the middle he said and then when y'all step step at the same time step with the man oh Jesus hear me right here some of y'all are let's take a step back this is your relationship with God come on God come on God I'm coming come on take me where I'm trying to go guarding this step with me if you step with me everything changes 1 2 3 step if you step with me everything gets better 1 2 3 stuff if you step with me so so what you got to do is get your step right I believe God spent six days helping them to get they steps right I believe that the steps of a righteous man are the bucket thank y'all so much I believe that God spent six days just helping them get they step right and you keep tripping because you're saying I'm just putting the order to you if you can just get your that's right all of a sudden you get your steps right I can do it I can fix it the walls fall down but you gotta get you so he says look he says he says he says if you can get your steps right you can get your steps right then I need you to do one more thing somebody say one more thing one more thing this is what I need you to do when you hear the sound of the horn he said the sound of the horn is supposed to let you know that that that the silence is over that the depression is over that the anxiety is over he says now he says this he says when you hear the horn the horns not the end-all be-all the horn is an alert to let you know that it's your time to shout are y'all with me today somebody look at somebody and say I think as I turn the show he said when you get to that place that's beyond your ability when you get to that place where I've ordered your steps when you get to that place whatever you thought wasn't working God said all you have to do is lift up a shout [Music] all you gotta do is lift up a shop when you hit that home [Music] now hit me right here hit me right here I need y'all to hit me right here listen the heart is a victory horn for domine why would I blow a victory horn before I got the victory the Bible says on the seventh day when you walked around seven terms when you're outside of your ability what I want you to do is praise me like you already like God's already did it two on the left upper side up right [Music] see what you don't understand is that something happens when a sound is released when there is a sound of desperation God has to respond to the sound one day my wife and I were walking out of the daycare after dropping our kids off understand all of a sudden we heard somebody whine loud whine little boy go do something absolutely oh that's domine I said that's my baby we got to go back we got to turn around we got to see about him and we got to go see and and what I want you to know here is that when you release that sound God says no that's my baby I gotta go see about my baby I gotta go see what's going on [Music] and oftentimes the reason God has an intervened in your life is because you haven't let off an alert to let God know it's a time now ready to release I'm ready for the miracle I'm ready told I'm ready go ready go ready go [Music] because they said only the priests I said they said only the priests could blow the horn and I kept saying well god that takes the responsibility off the people he said oh no no no on the cross on the cross I ordained some priests he said when I died on the cross when I gave up the ghost when I gave up my life and I want you to know something else when he gave up his life the Bible says he did it with a shout that separated you for me the Bell that made it that made some of us priests and some of us poppers he said the rail was torn away and while they were beating me and why they were bruising me and was bleeding they didn't realize that the veil was ripping and all of a sudden things that you didn't have a right to places and areas that you didn't have a right to God says now you have a right blow your trumpet blow your horn and watch what God does come on I just see one or two and we release a sound in here [Music] come on Jericho [Music] come on Jericho come on come on come on Jericho releases sound in here religious and that'll shake your community relieve the sound and change your family we need to sell down release a sound in here video releases sounded [Music] don't say something y'all two-pointer for miracle [Music] [Applause] come on if that's you today I want to do something crazy if you said god I won't be silent I won't be quiet I need some walls to fall in my life I want you to just start walking around right where you are I just want you to start taking some territory see [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] come [Music] [Applause] [Music] okay so I just this last little point so I was just asking God like God I know the seven-day is your Sabbath day the Bible says God don't do nothing on the seventh day the Bible says that God rests on the seventh day and that we should also rest on the seventh day I said so God how'd you knock the walls out if you were arrested he said I had already knocked the walls down [Music] [Applause] [Music] so I didn't do it look at somebody and said I didn't do it God did it for me I didn't knock the wall down God not the walls Elms for me so I could just say you made away when my back was against and it looked is you married that gives your testimony say [Music] and what Stan [Music] that was said [Music] Oh [Music] but standing here [Music] territory [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] every hand raised in this building this is only if you believe saying I've seen [Music] I see [Music] you bet away when there was no way [Music] right now right now if you don't know Jesus Christ as your Lord and your Savior this is the moment this is the time you said that you believe you saying that you believe now we need you to take one more step of faith and say yes I do believe I do believe so I'm gonna say a prayer and I want you to repeat after me we're all gonna say it so you don't feel like you're being alienated we're not gonna pick on you guys picking you out in this season so repeat after me say Lord Jesus thank you for your sacrifice thank you for what you've done for me free thank you for forgiving me I am yours I am yours come into my life and change my life come into my heart and change my heart today I am new today I will never be the same in Jesus name Amen amen do me one more favor on the count of three I want to lift your hands as high you can't say I believe [Music] chasers [Music] hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah

p5r4CJkOqoo	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5r4CJkOqoo	HALEP vs ANISIMOVA \| Bad Homburg Open 2022 Quarter Final \| Live Tennis Play-by-Play	[Music] oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] so [Music] [Applause] all right welcome back everybody to germany we're back in germany uh we just watched alcaz versus tr phone now we're back with the ladies and it's worked out really well which has been surprising usually tennis sometimes tennis doesn't work out as well as this but literally as soon as that last match finished these ladies walked out on court and now we're here so let's get the preview between these two which is a very interesting matchup winner this will play on rescue by the way tomorrow in the semis so let's have a look at where these ladies have come from so you can see that is not where they are from uh but that is the part of the draw that andrescu was in and she got the win against kazakhina today and then you've got you can see there help has beaten cineakova and zedenchek in her two matches and anissa moba fighting in the first set against vanudevank but then beat lee really easily in the second round and like i said winner this will play on rescue in uh tomorrow's semi-finals so a lot on the line and it's only gonna get tougher for these two ladies mandarines i'm over number 25 in the world she is 20 years old from america 5 foot 11. right-handed uh 23 wins nine losses on the year no one title to her name as well two korea titles her best win sabalenka and osaka this year simona halep number 19 in the world 30 year old from romania she's five foot six right handed 23 wins eight losses on the year and a title as well 23 career titles including a wimbledon and her best wins are against podesta and jabor one one is they're head-to-head and they've both been at the same venue for the french open back-to-back years and totally different results with anissa mobile winning the first one in 2019 and help getting revenge in 2020 so this is the fastest court these two are played on against each other and it's funny because no one's talking about an issue over on grass which i think is weird because you would have thought of course anissimova should be good on grass right it seems like a no-brainer but maybe not you know maybe there's something to it we'll see we'll see if that's the case today we'll see what a nissan movie can do on grass but you think that being a big server big hitter that the grass court should be uh suited to an ism over we'll find out together now we've got corn versus garcia in one of the semi-finals we know this plays on rescue as i mentioned so the winner of this match will play if they get to the final play a french woman in the other matches in eastbourne you've got adid maya versus kavitova and ostapenko versus georgie they're happening tomorrow in the men's you've got cindy pass versus bonzi that's tomorrow and then it looks like rba is gonna get the win against uh mehdi which is medvedev's last match for a while and then over in eastbourne for the men you've got cressie versus draper fritz versus either paul or dymanor so it's all coming together in the last preparations for the third slam of the year okay game on who's going to win this match is going to be an is it going to be help a lot on the line a semi-final spot up for grabs against the grand slam champion on rescue and first one goes to hell up let me get the scores working let me know in the chat what do you reckon who's gonna win this match i'm i'm going with i'm going with help i don't know i think simo's gonna gonna come good this week and she's going to play undress you tomorrow anyways love 15 hello first point there's a bit of back end now down the line of the fine of hell of finer from anderson over goes long and it's love 30. and i don't have to do anything with the scoreboard this time oh so back to normal don't have to press buttons just sounds oh good don't have to check if the scoreboard's perfect because it's not my fault if it's not it's not my problem anyways backhand goes down the line from sorry foreign goes down the line from an islam over and it's 15 30. so did my one of the favorites for wimbledon i don't think she'd be a favorite just because of her ranking but and her experience level but she's definitely got to be a um she's definitely got to be a a danger player for sure right nobody wants to play her dead maya right now 15 40 by the way and is it out break points first game of the match for simone help there's some over serves a fault second serve help in five that would be outrageous by the way medvedev just lost [Music] it's an rba anyways return now goes back in from minnesota goes wide and the first game goes to smart health with the break simo one love the denim memorative is no more maybe they've didn't have a bad grass court season to be honest final final quarter final i mean that's not terrible if he went to wimbledon with those results he would probably be pretty pretty happy maybe he should have won a title we'd know that but he should have had one title one final one quarter but that's pretty good it's not the worst results we can't play the sad music because we're in trouble um if we learned that the hard way patrick mark toggle in the house by the way ditch serena for help and serena's like we'll see you later then we don't care and help hasn't had the greatest results with morotoglou in the box but that's going to change eventually and i don't think it's either person's fault i just think it's the expectations are so high on help as it is and then moritoglu as well and i think expectations are not they're not living up to the the hype but how could they they're unrealistic expectations i think that people put on the coach and the player the grand slam champ and the grand slam coach there's been a five to five hundred rally now fifteen lovers in this movie's backhand and the back end of heller foino anderson over into the form of help in the back end of venison over up with the backhand shanks it out 15-0 15 all and i'm gonna be honest today's matches have been very uh one-sided i guess that's a nice way of putting it we haven't had a a tough match yet today even yesterday we didn't have a tough match the doubles wasn't tough the man the ma the you know matches for the men weren't tough i mean we haven't had a a battle all all week when was the last time we had a three set i don't remember me neither 15 30. probably la what syd curious versus her catch was the last tough match we watched 15 30. serve goes out on the second serve and it's 15 40. oh hell up double faults get myself and eddie going on vacation yep happy happy holidays served on t there's an ice from helleb bang big serve 40. oh yeah pushkiller versus um bianca was that was last week though that was like last i'm talking about when was the last match we watched i think it was semi-finals of heller or maybe the semi-finals of man maybe it was a bench zachary maybe because that's in the net from innocent over terrible drop shot and it's deuce first games of the match you are just joining us welcome help broke first game now we're here hello with the serve out water the fine of anissimova sliced and long and it's advantage halep to take the consolidating game gets to love serve that

that thank you everybody for watching hanging out with us 22 minutes into this one 5-2 these are the final days of warm-up before the big one the big big one some would say the biggest tournament on tennis in tennis on the calendar of tennis 15 love good sir from haleb it's mona heller she is the pseudo defending champion because remember she didn't defend her title last year and barty's not playing so simone halep is sort of the defending champion ish and i think people want her to be the first match on center court where the defending champion plays that first match on center court and i think simo should be the one to do it she didn't get to do it last year and the defending champs not here this year so i think simo should be the defending champ and play that first match on centre court she deserves it she didn't get to do it last year why give and give her a chance as simone hits a lovely winner down the line it's 40 love unbelievable lovely from simone halep i don't want to answer that okay 40 love three set points for simo in 25 minutes man remember when we played on the clay and it took 25 minutes for three games serve out wide hell up with a backhand down to the point of venison over into the front of halep who goes to the forever and over that goes out hello six two first set goes to simo first set simo and then this not happy at all she is not happy most prestigious yes it is what is what time is the draw tomorrow is it seven uh sorry 10 a.m london time who will win eastbourne on the wta uh i did maya because she can't lose um i wonder if nightbot likes pineapple on pizza no not but nightbot will be will be taken to the trash and thrown into the garbage if uh they say that pineapple on pizza is a crime in italy it's a crime against pizza and it's just why would you put fruit on pizza that's crazy i'll be watching wimbledon on the bbc with uh volume turned down i think and listen to cam thank you appreciate that nuella that's the best way to watch this channel if you watch the tennis just turn it down a little bit and have us on and hang out and have a chat anyone retired after winning a slam yes ash party pete sampras probably others that i don't know they're the two i remember though if you can get tickets to a grand slam which one would it be wimbledon center court final for sure fruit on pizza no dawn it's not it's not harsh it's the truth um did mary pierce want to slam and then retire yeah i don't know maybe the pointless wimbledon tournament yeah but everyone said the australian open was pointless and look what happened we watched it more like it was the biggest matches of all time so yeah useless australia useless wimbledon probably be the biggest one it's like you know you say you don't want to watch it but you know i think most of you will turn around and watch it anyway why did on serena uh withdraw because jaboy hurt her knee so she's not she'd want to risk it last time i didn't give have a champ the runner-up played the first match on center court so pushkin was going to play first match that doesn't sound that doesn't sound right should be helen should be hella oshviontek i mean you know put the number one in the world instead maybe i love 15 hell at first point of this second set oh barty said a request that simona should open that's good that's good to hear i mean i don't think body has much of a say women wouldn't do their own thing but um i mean that'd be that's nice that bardi said i think it should be help help help didn't get to do it last year um so why not who who who was the first one last year was serena no serena played the night match and got injured remember who was the first match on last year i can look it up but i'm just lazy oh google it i don't well it wasn't obviously hello because she didn't play 15 30. i nissan over in trouble was it nolai surely it wasn't serving to the point of heller backing in some overheads the tape goes in the back and have helped the backhand obviously over and this over hits it out 1540. maybe it was djokovic yeah nolai was the first match on center court last year so he uh he took that defending champ spot so he might do it again good serve there for a minute some over and it's 30 40. because remember help with drew so she didn't she didn't get the chance to you know do play that match um so yeah it was it was novak djokovic serving in the back of the palace [Music] second serve serving the backend of help and that's a return winner bang get that out of here and hella breaks one love in the second she won the first set six two dominating performance from simone halep right now [Applause] yeah so djokovic was that i mean maybe nolai's gonna do it i think simo should i think i personally think simo should but well like diminished has come back from four one down to five four up whoo first set 13 winners from halep six unforced errors nine winners from innocent over 18 errors but it was the serving of simo which was really impressive five aces 88 of first two points one that is crazy from simone halep that's crazy men's defending champ starts monday women's defending champs last tuesday perfect is that true i thought it was um ladies first because barty played first match on day two but that was she's not the defending champ she was the she wasn't even the defending finalist serena was serena played how does serena play serena played the night match or the the last match of the day um that day one that day two on day two sorry day two she played day two was crazy last you remember that we had federer versus mannarino which was a weird five set well kind of a four set fit set retirement and then serena fell over and and three all retired weird a weird day too i think it rained a lot as well as a lot of matches got postponed the first two days of wimbledon rained pretty heavily last year a lot of suspensions uh 15 all curious played a five-setter that went for two days against umber djokovic lost the first hit against draper which was weird um sydney passed lost to trfo which was expected i guess not really it was weird weird couple of days um 30 15 as help tries to consolidate the game or the break as help does some good running and and nissan over hits the ball too far away from me that time 30 all 30 all and helps serve the fault second serve servant of the back and nissan over find a hell up down the line that's a good shot and his move with a slice hell of the forehand again into the back of the venison over hell with the fine in the open court and his mother's there though with a fine of her own foreign forehand as an insane over again with the flying to the fine of halep hello for the four end of the slice now of an instant over to the back end of halibut back in anderson over down the line help spreading the court well but she hits the ball out i miss him over with a break point chance to get back the break 30 40. 30 40. hello search the back of the minister over that goes in to the foreign of halep back into this over to the point of help again at the four end slicer finish them over as a drop shot help gets in the back and down the line that's a winner very nice shot well unbelievable unbelievable very nice running for simona halep and we get to deuce by the way davido's cervix for the batch it gets paul and he's just [ __ ] the bed he's given the break back you're doing demon first here from halip is a fault second serve second serving at the point of nissan over finding from help downline's a winner and it's advantage help the winner of this will play on rescue tomorrow uh tomorrow's a big day stack day tomorrow not sure what we're gonna watch and where or i know who we're going to watch but i'm not sure when i would love hella versus on rescue like early but i just don't think it's going to happen health serves an ace to love bang unbelievable very nice serving again from simo um let's see if the schedule's out for tomorrow nope it is not but yeah tomorrow we've got uh it's obviously wimbledon we've got the wimbledon draw so we're gonna be watching that and then we've got goats oh that sucks we might have to figure it out figure something out with the with hala versus on rescue such a good what chance of rain tomorrow this tournament okay that might be a good thing for us it means we can maybe watch it later or earlier or whenever all right love 15 anissa moba trying to get on the board in this second set she lost the first six too she got broken twice it's not good second serve down the t to the front of heleb when helen returns it with a winner love 30 love 30. massive return from simo love 30 and then over serves into the form of hell if he shanks into the form of innocent over backing our hell up against the foreign minister over that's a good shot hello can't get it puts it long 15 30. 15 30. by the way if you haven't subscribed don't forget to subscribe we're going to be back for uh obviously wimbledon next week we've got a lot of things coming up in the next couple of days as well so make sure you subscribe so you don't miss out as an innocent double faults no god please no no yes she did 15 40. chance at the double break here simo serving to the backhand of hell the pellet hits it wide on the return 30 40. 30 40. first server from minis i'm over in the net second serve he's into the back end of hell back in anderson over his wide health gets that double break three love three love simmo that is a commanding lead for simone help all right questions answer my question the question might actually get an early night tonight which is i thought i'd be up until 5. this is actually a nice surprise um helen looks like she's got dinner reservations yeah yeah she looks like she go she go she's gonna be somewhere she's late to something things are going good for rafa right now his foot is better uh wife is pregnant 14th french open yeah yep quick match with simo today what's up with the nissan moba it's some over just plain terrible demon all wins by the way takes out tommy paul by coming back from 4-1 down to win 6-4 final set um yeah i don't know why nissan mobile wouldn't be a grass court it's weird because she has the weapons of a grass court player maybe this is why because there's a trainer coming out on court for an ism over and that's what we're waiting for here doesn't mean someone ever need to uh abbreviate a swing on grass probably a little bit yeah and that's what everyone has to do right is wimbledon gonna count as a slam for whoever wins of course of course it will um yeah wimbledon counts wimbledon counts um but it's weird because anissimova has the big serve big ground strokes that you would expect to be good on clay grass but she just doesn't seem to be able to figure it out yet yeah simone's got a date somewhere i think yeah that's true hey yep ashley bianchi got the win today good win just thought it might be a count as an exhibition event nah nah the winner of wimbledon will be the winner of wimbledon forever no asterix no nothing if you have if you start doing that you got to start saying well if you don't have all the players in the world playing that event then it doesn't count you know if people aren't playing like if people withdraw it doesn't count wimbledon winner is wimbledon winner forever it counts something wrong with her arm yeah i don't know what's up with her arm makes sense maybe that's why she's hitting so many errors [Music] um yeah cmo versus bianca is gonna be a great match yeah for sure unfortunately it's right in the middle of like everything but we'll see what happens we might get to tune in ostapenko played top class today she's got some serious threat at wimbledon yeah but maybe she's playing all their best matches too early sometimes that happens players you know didn't we think that at the french open and look what she did nothing um great to hear uh rooting for my countrymen nora late yeah wimbledon whoever wins wimbledon will be the wimbledon champion forever it's not going to change just because a couple of players aren't there i talked about this about i left did ons pull out of the doubles with serena yes she put up with a knee injury once has a knee problem um on rescue loki returning to form in time for the us hardcore season she is looking good she is looking serious is bianca official medical time out here for i need some over on the uh her arm um yeah hopefully i think i think she pulled out because it's just precautionary i i don't think jabor's injury is as serious as people should you know i mean obviously injuries or injuries but i don't think you should be that concerned by jabor i think she's taking it she's taking she just doesn't want to risk it getting worse you know um be a challenge for rafa and wimbledon since nola's playing that is true that is true okay and this is back she got a bit of a strapping on the wrist so maybe that's got maybe she has a wrist problem all right three love she's got a scoreboard problem all right got a scoreboard three love help serves out water the fortification over that goes up up up up up and out 15 love 15 love now tomorrow we're going to be back for the wimbledon draw which is happening uh live so we'll be going through that as we do for every big tournament and then we also have uh some matches after that so get ready double fault myself from halep and it's 15 all right tomorrow's a big day served on the team from halibut nice that's how you wipe out that double fault by hitting an ace seven aces from halep insane her first percentage off the charts 30 15. serving at the back end of and it's a mobile phone from halep into the form of minister over help with the find again in the form of minister mobile puts it down the line for a winner 30 all wimbledon starts monday let's go to the back end now from hell up into the back of it is the mobile into the back end of help down the line is a winner and somebody doesn't run for it 40 30. how's the vodka strong women draw is at 10 a.m local time whatever that time is in your world it's in about 14 hours 13 hours served down and see the fun of innocent over that's in the net for love help this is going to be on venice tv full of help qualities are on this week yeah but the main draw starts monday 21 minutes second set and it's simona halep dominating this match yeah it's going to be dangerous there's a lot of dangerous players in the draw for sure we know that rafa and jokovich are going to be in the same half which is a refreshing i think that's refreshing for most of us but yeah help with a lovely forehand on the run just whips it into the open court 15 love i love 15. um yeah it's going to be interesting to see where all those other players fit in because i think that most players that have a chance at wimbledon will want to play would rather play rapha than norway and on the women's side avoid eager at all cost don't play don't be in the top half of the draw that's it and this is in the net love 30. this match is gonna end in a minute or three four five six minutes it's gonna end at this rate love 30. first serve as a fault second serve serving at the point of help and that's in the net from halep 15 30. it was a very one-sided match i didn't expect this to be that one-sided to be honest i thought for sure this would be an interesting match up but this is a very quick match second serve and some over server has been trashed but also she's hurting so maybe that's why maybe she's injured and that's the reason return from hell up in the net 30 all first serve as a fault for minister mobile again can't buy a first serve second serve to avoid a bagel i miss him over that's what what this match has come down to and she's oh no she hits a let on the second serve very close second serve again return now is a let me can another left for ministers on the second serve servant of the backend of help and held dumps it in the net 40 30. serving the back end of hell backing up from minister over down the line is a good shot help gets it though for now and this him over he's a winner down the line unbelievable gets on the board and nissan over doesn't give up yet it's 4-1 helmet but it's not a bagel that is something actually you know what we haven't done today we haven't gone around the course let's go around the courts a lot of tenants have been played today [Music] oh [Music] so [Music] all right we're back simone hell of dominating in this one and it's four one simo she won the first set six two and this match might might stay under an hour if the next couple of games go quick what do you reckon let me know in the chat over under one hour over or under what do you reckon fifteen love good second serve to the point of an initial over back and helped the back end of unison over who it's a winner interesting 15 all you reckon under okay imagine if someone else just walked across and sat down that'd be creepy 15 always held double faults 15 30. all right maybe uh helps hurt us fourth double fault for help simo serves a fault second serve into the back end of this mother and this mother hits it out 30 all 30 all hell up trying not to get broken today keep a clean sheet she serves on the team ice bang and who would have thought that simone hall was going to hit nearly 10 aces and no aces from a nissan over today that is insane that's the biggest shock scoreline is interesting but also i mean the serving from halep has been insane and then she serves another race bang bang unbelievable ten aces for help in this match madness shot fired shots fired shots have been fired okay and this mover has six minutes to avoid an under one hour match as she gets a backhand into the open court backing her from help his cross-court winner what a show this is going to be what a shot from halep and it's live 15. this is how she won wimbledon back in 2019 first serving the net for minnesota second serve looks like i'm gonna go to bed before four o'clock in the morning which is a bonus there's a bit of return now into the back end of and this moment is it out love 30. and simona halep is just going to dominate her way into the semis tomorrow love 30. and then there's some over here to let very interested to see where simo fits in the draw tomorrow at wimbledon is she going to be in the top half with eager she could be the third round opponent for fiance that could happen it could be halib versus fiance third round at the earliest so we'll see what happens second serve love 30. and this him over to the back end of hell up four now nissan over into the form of halib and that's a winner from hello what a shot again and this mother just watches it go past her three match points for simone halep love 40 to take this match in less than an hour this has been a dominating display by the former champ i love 40. served down to see the form of hell at finance and over into the foreign of halep into the back end of nissan over backing out from hell up to the back and again of an issue over and that's out help 2-1 out in less than an hour simo dominates who bet the under and this samova's got to uh i mean that was that was bad and she's injured which made it worse she got injured as well which makes it worse so holy holy hell all right simone halep is playing bianca on rescue tomorrow let's see when that player you know we might watch that tomorrow depending on when that's played a lot of tennis to watch tomorrow so we're gonna uh gotta keep an eye on it all but um simo simo wimbledon she knows how to play there she knows how to win there and there's a mobile waving goodbye she just doesn't know how to play on grass and it's a weird because you would have thought maybe she could but nope what time is bianca simo playing tomorrow no idea they haven't put the draw out uh schedule that yet so wait and see hello with a big smile on her face she's like laughing um what's your guess on who serena will play in the first round she will play she will play against a clay quarter that's my pick serena will play a clay quarter in the first round of wimbledon i don't know who but i'm i'm going to go with a clay quarter okay now we're gonna sign off in like five because i am on the verge of uh sleep but so we had a big day tomorrow so we'll save the energy for tomorrow yeah 10 aces great serving from halep 10 aces 85 percent of first serve points one it's she served amazing hello and an instrument just couldn't do the same simone hasn't lost her wimbledon since 2019 no she hasn't lost the wim wooden since 2018 that's even more impressive i'm guessing pedestal jabor okay i feel like helen serena first ran is gonna happen there's so many things i think i don't think it's gonna happen first round i think it's gonna be a second round it could be a second round potential just because that's how the fate that's how it works right i don't think it'll be first round i think it could be a second round tennis gods could be like you both win your matches you can play each other patrick morotov can sit in the middle no worries duchy what is going on i step away again and my girl amanda lost yep peaches you just can't move you should leave you shouldn't leave the streams otherwise things happen who's a dark horse for the women's draw i mean halep's got to be up there i mean maybe not now but um hello definitely is flying under the radar a little bit on rescue i mean massive fan obviously it's 7 p.m it's nearly 8 p.m here and i feel like it's four in the morning i'm going to bed oh yep we feel that too big day today i mean we didn't really get to watch uh any epic matches unfortunately but that's how it plays out sometimes but um that's been a big day we did three matches we also if you were here for the uh we did a did a uh couple hour chat over on quality shot youtube channel had a chat with uh with those guys for a couple hours so uh it's been a big day nora celia um either way if helen plays a clay quarter she will still win yeah i i mean serena plays a clay quarter that's what i was getting at it's 11 p.m here oh okay this is my very similar style to osaka yeah she is a little bit yeah i guess serena first round will be in will be an unseated player for a crowd drowner a crowd drawer i don't know i don't yeah we'll find out we'll find out tomorrow it'll all be revealed tomorrow all right everybody i'm gonna go to bed but thanks for joining us thanks for sticking around thanks for watching the matches um hopefully we can get some more i mean maybe maybe the tennis gods are waiting for the epics to be on uh the big tournament because right now these are all just warm-ups this is practice it's practice it's practice it's practice uh but look halip demolishes into some over in straight sets six two six one um in less than an hour i mean that was just ridiculous um she'll play uh she'll play on rescue who also won quite easily earlier today against kazakina they'll play each other uh we watched el cares lose the tr for an exhibition so that was interesting too and tomorrow wimbledon draw and goats that is on the menu tomorrow wimbledon draw and goats so get prepared tomorrow's a big big day uh big night i should say but uh simone halep semi-finals back-to-back semi-finals over the last two weeks on grass and she beats it in some over and straight sets six two six one i'll see you guys tomorrow [Music] you	TENNIS TALK with Cam

SCYEOH-6fvk	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCYEOH-6fvk	008-01 - UC Berkeley Cloud Computing Meetup 008 (October 29, 2019)	- (House Speaker) So, our first speaker today, is Konstantin Savenkov. He is a CEO and co-founder of Intento Incorporated. In this talk, he will share insights into the Cloud AI landscape. He will talk about the challenges large enterprises have procuring and implementing hybrid AI solutions, and how the Intento AI platform helps some of the biggest companies solve them. So, welcome Konstantin. - I'm, I have some issues with my words today. So, I'll be good for 15 minutes. (audience laughing) Two or one of the Skydeck companies part of closed funding co-hosts. We help companies to procure and deploy AI. So, we help them to find what the vendors are right for them, and to put up production. And I would start mostly, I'm not gonna start here. Sorry, I don't feel good talking about AI landscape. And then by the time (mumbles) So, in other, the Artificial Intelligence stack is pretty deep today. All this advances are possible only because we can build on the shoulders of others, right? However, you need to master it that deep, only in some specific cases when you use core AI technology or something which you can do in-house. Use some framework on the data, things like AI, (mumbles). In a vast majority of cases related to computer services, no one builds a big house, well except maybe Amazon, Google, Facebook, just 'cause you need all the data in the world for them. You need substantial investments, post, hand, time investments. You're gonna spend lots of time working it. So mostly, happen is get from someone, they get some base line models, and that way to prove the closest model based on their own data. There's plenty of systems to for that. We call this simple things you can do with data. We call them intents. That's why (mumbles). It's no intents like in in turn to attach child locks. It's different types of intents. Like speech transcription or translation. And more than 200 vendors-- actually much more than that. Many thousands of models. And you can discover them in different places. There's certain API marketplaces. Like, maybe rapid API. There's problem over there. Verse major AI vendors, such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft and others. But that also rules out a lot of Indian vendors, which excel at creating data for some super solid, some specific niche problem. And really monitors this data. For example, some time ago, a small German company called Leap Pad, they took about the same data set Google has dealing with data crawl funding. And they hadn't corrected it for some languages, like for German, French, Spanish and they committed that Google translate those languages. They decided to focus its niche. So, overall we identified I think more than on cognitive intents and I'll show you the numbers, but should be 400. And we classify them by type of content. We may process like, (mumbles) And like what to do with this content. There is some information extraction from this content. For classification, for transformation, or something something else. For example, in text, you can do, what's first? Yeah, small. So, great, very small font. So, like, examples of texts extraction is edit extraction, classification. For example, sentence analysis. When five times by cent amount. Transformations and translation. And about the similar, it's not apology. I mean we have that for internet analysis and for an old (mumbles) video. For example, because of (mumbles) processing, where it's around 23 different intents, such as QR extraction, intent extraction, linguistic announces content, integration, and translation, and summarization. And for every one of them, the on average, I think from 15 to 20 different vendors, which provide prototype models. Then, what things we may find there? First is, what type of models are provided? So, what was made generic and is it's a pre-trained model, which is good work in general purpose data. For example, Google translate offer the process of generic translation model. It's not suited to certain niches just one size fits all. Then, next level is proto models of for some specific niches. For example, in Microsoft translate, you can get project models for business, or IT work, conversation translations, if you know how to find them. It's not it's not always possible. And, much like, for example, Microsoft, you may find also pre-trained models for different medical classes. And what am I trying to think. Medical comprehend, comprehends, general purpose model and medical comprehends for (mumbles). That's sort of, the hot topic is govermentation. Where, you can take this baseline model and use your own data, typically about, three degrees of magnitude less than (mumbles) stretch, to adopt this model to your specific problem. It's not really, I think transfer learning, it's not really training. It's more like, if you give like a cloth to a dog to sniff and instead, what actually you are doing. There are different approach to that. One with approach is data mutation. When you upload your data to the (mumbles) and in their stock group, residually, they find singular data. So, they augment your data with their data. There is a substantially a large enough data set to train this particular model. Second approach is transfer learning, and typically, it's employed by large companies, such as Google 'cause it's expensive. And, then, what's like quite hot topic for the services, it's generic mutation. When you not doing, sort of training a chunk of data, when the model produces some result, you get feedback on this result from human and it can push the feedback back, just one data point, to improve the model. So that if you have some human induced scenerio. That's what popular in Russian translation. When person edits text and pushes back to the model, the model incorporates the sentence right to read. In terms of the, oh I think that is pretty large topic, I'll skip that. So, basically, so I what I want to say here, yeah, so, the quality is very fragmented. So, those large vendors, they don't tap upon data they use to trade the models, right? And the foremost of these models for your case depends on how your data is similar to their data, and you have no idea how to send it. So, the only way here is to try to and then you do, you see that this space is super fragmented. Like, we have lots of focus on translation. That's why I'm drawing examples from translation. We'll look at that, I will show you, it's very fragmented. Than, if you use this dominant intation in (mumble) data, you'll see that learning curves a difference. So it's like not another initial difference. You build on the top of this baseline model and, maybe, the model starts high. But, does to improvement of data. And if there's another model, which starts slower, but learns faster and it doesn't, it flares out later. So then, when you train, you use some knowledge around your data. And one way to do that is to invest in a human clinic of this data. Another way, some of the AI guidance, they provide services for automated, and the clinic chart is involved in training. So, if you have the data it may have on that, some company will work, some vendor will work, better for you because they've got it automatically. In order to figure out which model's right for a specific case there are different approach. Two main ones are reference specialization, when you have some golden standard data and you just compare model to the data. It has lots of problems, including that in many for example, a repeat task, there is no single point of reference. You may have five different translations, each of thems perfect. Another process, human innovation, where you just give humans and they rate it, and the problem with that is that it's too expensive. And we sort of at our company found a way to combine them to make some legwork using algorithms and then give humans a small sample to analyze to (mumbles). And, so, example, like in machine translation, there is around 30 vendors, so without it, it's much greater more. Which work with more that 14,000 language pairs, translating texts from one language to another. And, if you take the most popular language pairs, you see that in order to get the best quality, you have to combine on nine different vendors, depending on the language. I purposely removed brand names from here. Well, you many find that in our public (mumbles). And last of year, it changed. That's not last half year but the last half year the same happened. Each of leadership changed for about, half of the language pairs. (mumbles) There's domain updates. So, you have those different translation models. And, then, when you log your data, depending on the subsets of your data, because different land does improve differently. So, that's our cloud landscape. The problem with the cloud is that, companies fail a lot on adopting AI, even if this AI's available in the cloud. Because, oh, yeah, because for them, it's super hard to procure. Most technologists, since you have to take away, it's like 20 different vendors on your data before you decide which to work with, and that's not how enterprises procure software. Enterprises typically, they will just select one language, and, only after that, try this method. And, second, it's hard to deploy. Enterprises use some integration solutions with standard connectors to those solutions, which work well for one to one situations, and need to connect your earpiece system to your IT desk or something like that. But when you need to connect, like, five AI vendors with five internal systems, this quickly turns into a mess, like that. So, you have to build all those peer to peer integrations on top of your enterprise solutions. And, that's actually, how we solve all those problems. So we provide a solution, for like streamline procurement of AI, where we provide single interface to all those AI vendors, and we provide some professional tools for data cleaning, model training, and model scoring. And we have partnerships with our vendors that handle that. And, also, we provide what we call Enterprise AI hub. We each encapsulate all this complex and unless they are related to dealing with multiple robotic systems and can be because of that, it provides very simple and single API to all those systems. So, you can be easily plugged into all those enterprise integration systems. Yeah, and we work with companies like, Ikea, Igenent, all those sizes. I think that's it. Thanks.

vV-XKyW4cV0	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vV-XKyW4cV0	The Angry Dentist—Post Commoditisation Venality	good morning good morning long time no speak what a lovely day oh my goodness there's sheets all over the place I've cleared out the barn and every time we get new sheets I'll put them in the barn to use as Rags but I never use Rags so I'll clear them all out leftover words with Mrs angry she'll get them off down there recycled textiles bin how are you anyway but I stayed back at work the Tuesday after Easter Monday we're last week off so normally with holiday it used to take four weeks which was week before Easter weekend or after Easter weekend between Christmas and New Year and two weeks in the summer and then when you've got a larger practice you can actually uh stay open for uh three of those four weeks by coordinating the surgery into two halves which consists of one dentist one nurse one hygienist and one part-time receptionist can take the week off before Easter and the other dentist the other nurse the other receptionist on the other part-time receptionist can take the week off after Easter that the only provides though with that is that the part-time receptionists have to go full time for one week while the other part-time receptionist is off the thing is it's they're either just about to have a week or four I just had a week off and they you know them having weeks off does rather depend on the the other receptionist playing ball and working full-time when they're off uh so usually for one week full time that's not not a massive deal for them so then you can do a similar arrangement in August so for example half the surgery can have the first two weeks in August off and the other half can have the last two weeks in all in August off and then although obviously you are running a reduced service um you can stay open every day apart from Good Friday Easter Monday you open through all of August now Christmas is a little bit different because it's not so easy to sort of split up so we tend to uh just say oh that's a lot of scaffolding tend to say that uh everybody gets off between Christmas and New Year and to be honest with you everybody expects you to be shut during that week anyway so very few businesses are open that week and everybody appreciates some time off look at that wall it's not it's been rebuilt slowly isn't it it's taking about three years together it blew down and uh belongs to the local MP that house and it's taking a long time to rebuild because I think he's having it done with traditional lime Etc yeah so that's uh how the holidays work now the problem with this holiday for me is that I've got a sneaking suspicion when I get back we're going to be faced with a problem which we had before the holiday but which has been getting very very gradually worse in the sort of same way that hydraulic pressure builds up behind the dam nuts or on a submersible oh that's probably a better because the dam can probably take the amount of hydraulic pressure that builds up behind it whereas anyway never mind forget it forget the hives forget I mentioned Hydraulics okay so we are just getting increasingly busy now this is reassuring and I speak here as someone who worked most of his practicing career under FIFA item where if you didn't work you didn't learn anything and so being booked a long way ahead was a real comfort blanket for you and uh even now uh you know private density which works the same way free for item you know you're still a very cognizant of the fact that if you're not working you're not earning and so that's why for example the bdia exhibition which was on recently is uh held over Friday and Saturday it's because uh they they probably would have preferred I think it used to be Thursday Friday and Saturday and they probably would have preferred it to be Wednesday Thursday and Friday but they just couldn't get the NHS dentist to come during the week and that was because of this old mental sum that we all used to do which was we all used to know the value of the work that we did and how much we earned and you know bearing in mind that you know in inflation-adjusted figures if we were earning 200 or 250 pounds a day in the 1980s then and you went to the bdia exhibition on on and you lost a day's work you not only did you have to add on the cost of transport and possibly hotels and and possibly staff travel but you head on to add on to that the greatest figure of all which was loss of earnings uh opportunity cost and so that's why they used to open Saturday because uh the people who wouldn't come on the week would come on a Saturday because for the most part they didn't work on a Saturday morning or they could they they could come Saturday afternoon or something you know and uh it's it was always entertaining to go on a Saturday or we used to have a stand the general Dental practitioners Association go on a Saturday because the sort of dentist that came in on the Saturday was very recognizable you know obviously uh very committed to prescribing as much work as possible on the NHS prematurely gray a bit stooped and uh followed around like a school group outing by uh his wife who was the practice manager s and the uh and the staff all the big crocodile always bags trying to grab as much stuff as they could but um no we are we are now I would say more busy than we want to be bearing in mind that I've always said that being booked up two weeks head is about ideal and I think and you could say Okay angry you know you've just had Easter off what'd you expect you're going to be booked up an extra weekend you just said a week off and that is true to a certain extent that is true however there's this hydraulic pressure again Ryan which is building up which is that we are very slowly very gradually getting booked up further and further and further ahead and we know uh uh how the Jets have got this problem because patients who come to us very frequently say I've given you a ring and I'm so pleased that you're taking on patience because I've rung every other dentist in the area and none of them are taking on patience and I've covered in another video the problems have not taken this personally and also why we are not booked up as opposed to other dentists mainly because we are more much more efficient in terms of how we uh how we operate and how we've managed by the charging in advance to reduce our no shows to zero so they then comes we then will have to I think reconsider and I intend to do this with the staff because I think it's a good idea to enfranchise the staff and and Empower them to uh contribute to the debate you know because they are the treatment providers almost in so much as you are I mean you're all treatment provider you're the provider of capital you're the entrepreneur you're the you know the I.T expert and the HR manager and all that but they are treatment providers so I changed yeah too late we're changed the red why has it changed to Red why there's nothing waiting coming the other way what was the point of that changing to Red if not not slow cars down for no reason at all anyway and and the general principle involved is this do you at some point shut your books to new patients or do you say to patients our books are open but you are going to have to wait a month for an appointment now I've got to say I came from a surgery my first surgery in Julian Hunters at 15 High Street that was routinely booked three months ahead four months ahead and so that colors my thinking on this because um it was quite often the case with that with that surgery that when you you had your checkup you booked another checkup six months ahead because then you've got your choice of dates if you waited until you got the reminder then not only did you you got your choice of dates but you might have to wait another four months so it becomes 10 months in between to check out and the patients learned that and they adapted to him they they understood it they didn't necessarily like it but they knew how to react to them foreign the other thing which tends to make things worse is that once you get booked Beyond a certain threshold you have to make everybody's appointments all of their appointments because supposing someone comes in and they need five appointments for fillings you have to make those five appointments if they won them a week in between each then you have to make them all right at the beginning because you can't make an appointment and then say why don't we make your second appointment and then two months later they're not another filling having said that the British public do like to slow their treatment down and have it done extremely inefficiently and I think to a certain extent is a sort of a inherited it's a Heritage from the Natural Health Service system whereby um let me just let me get this straight because in America for example you have to travel large distances and basically your NHS your Dentistry is done privately and so you're paying for a service and you want it done like yesterday preferably yesterday morning because yesterday afternoon would be too late so they want everything done as quickly as possible and of course so does the dentist because that's the most efficient surgery time whereas um in the UK If someone comes in and you say you need 10 fillings they automatically think oh that's 10 appointments whereas of course it is you know you can do like a filling on a six and extract an upright or something at the same time in America this famous guy at Selco who wrote the the seminal introduction to you know the overlap between time and productivity and uh and Dentistry uh would quite frequently do everything on the left in the morning and everything in the right in the afternoon and the patient will then go somewhere and have lunch you know in the meantime but in this country that's never really caught on and now that uh Dentistry is more in the private sector where people are sort of seeing it as an expense which uh is an unanticipated expense an unwelcome expense unbudgeted for not you know people thinking I've always been on the NHS oh expletive my NHS dentist struck me off I'm gonna have to look around I'm gonna have to go private and then where am I going to find 600 Quid to have my work done of course they're going to want to have it spread out over time now my other major influence on on the decision is uh PT Barnum the circus owner who famously towed the box office to never to have put up a sign saying sold out because although they may have sold out of tickets for that performance they possibly hadn't sold out of tickets for um the next performance and whereas uh they may have sold our tickets for the the current day and possibly tomorrow but then probably not next week so you always encourage people to make inquiries about when they could go now the argument against keeping the Books open and and just before I go into the opposite side of the argument I have to sign my own I get personal experience where I had there was a dentist in Tunbridge Wells he was recommended to me uh where I rang it up and he and he said uh he would take me on but he's very busy and so there would you know there's quite a wait for appointments and I get the feeling that he probably if I'd been a member of the public you probably would have said no but because I was a dentist and I think a fairly well-known dentist he was he was like yeah okay we'll take you on but you know I'm not gonna kill myself to do it now it's a bit difficult if I'm gonna sidetrack some of my generation who grew up okay in a sort of a era professional courtesy where dogs and dentists did favors for each other because we we both understood that a dents would be no good if he was sick and couldn't work and the doctor would be no good if he had toothache good work so I mean uh Arrangements were made you know treatment was facilitated for people who were in the medical profession there was a certain amount of solidarity solidanos between us now of course that's that's completely gone out the window and the days when as a dentist you could go and get your treatment done at the Eastman Dental Hospital gone and uh you can and this is hard thing this is obviously because densities become commoditized you know it seems to become a profession as such and has now become a commodity and as it as it is a commodity you just can't get a you can't get a discount code anymore for any work and you certainly can't get a You Can't Jump the weight in this we are unusual I would say as a surgery in that we do operate the old uh Knights of the Round Table chivalrous approach which is that we tend not to charge the staff their relatives even their relatives boyfriends sometimes um anyone who's in pain severe pain or uh dentists who work locally who want to come and see us we don't charge for any of that and and in doing that we're sort of keeping alive a tradition that that's completely died out and as a dentist I don't now if I go and see another dentist I do expect it but I never receive any preference in terms of booking courtesy at the desk most of the people on the desk don't never not even told that you're a dentist which leads to some funny situations um uh price you pay the same price as everyone else in fact if anything else you might pay a bit more because they know you're a dentist um and so you know you're you're subject to the Declaration the finality of of the profession post commoditization Vitality there we are that's that's gonna be the title of the video and so as a result I had to wait three months to get a checkup appointment and then another three months to uh had a to have a crown and some fillings done and then I was off at the hygienist appointment which I didn't need and therefore I had to decline which is rather embarrassing because you know I I 63 and I got all my tea you've got no pocketing and I knew and they knew and and I presumably I they knew that I knew that they just offer everybody a high genius appointment now okay I mean you know I I've in the past I've said that my periodontal assessment at examination is is not always a six-point gun chart if I've got a hygienist then I'm more than happy to say no you need to go and see the hygienist for an assessment and treat but I don't take perfectly healthy dentists and tell them that they need to go and see hygienist just because it's the practice policy to refer everybody to the hygienist which is a policy which is you know loved universally by hygienists and by principals who get a percentage of what the hygienist does but not really uh you know not always appropriate in my opinion so although the bd8 the bdha pdhf bdha whatever they're called diabetes [ __ ] they'll um I'm sure they'll say no you're totally wrong and your shocking practitioner how can you say that not everybody should see a hygienist everybody's teeth can afford out because of you now because we're nearly at work I'm going to go over the one reason which I think is in dense Minds when they decide to close books and that is because they want to maintain the service level agreement for the existing patients in other words the patients who you know have been with the practice a long time they're used to making appointments a week later and then they find that they can't make an appointment for two months now I'm not inclined to give that argument much way for two reasons one is that they have they patronize a popular practice in the same way as they you know they discover a little restaurant it's lovely food's excellent they can always get a table and then two years later they go back and find that there's a queue around the block to get in now that's that that happened it happens you know the other um the other the other consideration in that argument is that um has a dentist you know if if you've got 10 patients and two of them say they're going elsewhere then it's a disaster you'll lose sleep at night whereas if you've got like over a thousand patients and one of them says that they're fed up we're waiting for appointment then again they go and find somewhere else then your attitude to that tends to be good luck you know hello security what are your security for I haven't had an incident of the school I hope I'm not a break in openly nicked all my servers so there you go so you probably guessed that my my attitude is almost certainly uh I'm going to not close the Box and the other reason is that once you close the Box you know work gets round no don't point no don't ring then Derek the angry dentist because these books are Sharp and um people who um from other surgeries who have been referring your patients will stop referring your patience because it'll feed back to them that their books are shut and so uh so now I'm so I'm not going to do it so I'm going to keep the Books open but it doesn't mean I'm going to work any harder but the books books are going to stay open so let's see how it

integration with our starship application we're going to focus on international shipment going to Canada and different documentation that starship has the capabilities of printing so that way you can streamline your international processing going forward so to get started in fishbowl as we pick and pack our items in the fishbowl application we will create a shipment document and in the shipment document will be basically be moving over all your line items from fishbowl and the carton that you pack those items in so in this example that I'm going to be using today I have my comfort bike packed into my one carton that one carton also has its dimensions of eight by eight by six that will also bring into the starship application all the description quantity the values and weights will also be brought into starship so therefore starship can compile your commercial documentation needed for the international shipment will also map in your ship to information as well as your carrier and service that the shipment will be using in that particular instance as I bring in starship here so starship is a web browser application it is a login that you would log into and therefore you would come into your home page with all of your shipments for that particular day or based on the filters that you may have filtered off of in this case I'm just looking at you know basically looking for my customer name called Alan's Raceway and they would show all of my orders for Alan's Raceway so you can do a couple different things here to bring in the order information from fishbowl you can use a wedge type scanner to scan in a pick ticket or pack list if it was bar coded into this field here you can also use our shortcut this little truck icon here and click this and bring in the whole entire shipment into starship so all of that information will import on so up in the upper left will show the shipment ID number that we were working with this 5-z zero seven zero the apply charges for the FedEx shipment on that will be applicable and then also the ship to that was set inside a fishbowl will also be pre-populated here we also have the capabilities of doing third-party shipping so we would just basically have the customer assign a specific field with the appropriate account number to map that in so therefore the user doesn't have to manually select anything inside the starship platform the sender will basically be defaulted to you or again a bill to section inside a fishbowl that we can mark the ship from address into starship properly and then as well as a recipient which is also mapped over the ship to information correctly as well note we don't bring in any address validation for international orders that's only applicable on domestic orders only down below you'll see the packaging was brought in just as you had in fishbowl so if I drill into the packaging view you'll notice I have my one carton with my comfort bike listed underneath it again if I had multiple items on the particular order or the shipment those would all be listed down below but because I have one item in quantity one that was also brought in as one on the weight of the item which is totaling the Box weight of 20 pounds and then those dimensions I mentioned before as well that are making up the box dimensions I'm going into the line item view here you'll notice we bring in some specific information for the line item itself the you know for the value for commercial invoice purposes the weight as well and then also in here we have some standard mappings we do from fishbowl with the item number the description the values and then on the international tab we also have the abilities of storing Schedule B and NASA information for Canadian shipments specifically so therefore the user doesn't have two redundant lis input this information every single time they're trying to make an international shipment if this was a EEI related or ace integration required we would also be providing a way to directly bringing the information into the ACE website so you can have the pop the itn populate for you automatically inside of starship so the user again doesn't have to enter the information twice but because this is a Canadian shipment or exempt from filing any ITN s and also the value being below $2,500 we don't have to worry about filing ITM for the shipment so we can move on to showing where the rates shop and the total charges would apply so as you see here the total charges you have your published rates your contracted rates which would be your negotiated rates with the carrier and then the applied rate which would be either you're just a negotiated rate or maybe a freight rule which is maybe an additional handling a percentage or a flat rate that you want be brought back into fishbowl so again starship has the capabilities of automating that process and again we can work with your team on establishing those different freight rules that could be applicable down below is where you can have the ability of seeing all of your carrier's on your license with the rates that you've negotiated so if you wanted to see those rates you would simply click shop all and you can see all the available carriers on your license and what those negotiated rates are to make a determination of the best option if I want to see all I can set my filter to all and hit contract charges to list lowest to highest and you'll notice here my fedex ground rate is actually coming in least expensive so I know when we good shape however I did want to make a determination of using a different carrier I can always use and click the box next to that specific service I want to use for that shipment to move forward you can either hit f3 or the icon down here below this will go out to FedEx letting them know there's one package to be shipped and then the documentation will start the process following the label printing so here you'll see some different documents printing here so first will be the commercial invoice so again FedEx and UPS and DHL also for electronic documentation so we have that capability built of the starship so you don't have to print documents however if you do print documents this is what they would look like with your commercial invoice printing first with the Schedule B the country of origin as well as a unit value for customs purposes then you would also have your certificate of origin for NAFTA purposes without the appropriate information that was saved and then last but not least you would have your label being printed for the shipment along with a packing list if you prefer to have their packing this print in starship you can do that with the label we call this document or smart label which is basically one-half a packing list one half of the label you would tear off and put onto the box itself you also can print a label to a thermal and also have the packing let's print to a thermal or have a packing list print to a laser printer if you choose to do that as well when I come back into fishbowl to show the right back I simply refresh my order and you'll notice here that my carton has a tracking number listed in real-time and if I also click on that cart in here the tracking number is put on the tracking field down below along with that freight cost of forty six dollars and 84 cents that you saw a moment ago so this concludes our workflow for international processing with fishbowl I hope you enjoyed the demo and we look forward to speaking to you soon take care	Shipping Software by

Tre Earhart's back in the news and Roger kuth made NASCAR history on Friday night in Las Vegas teres Earhart back on our once again the Wicked Witch of the southeast just refuses to go away and ride off into the sunset like we all wish that she would so this week Caro wins a theme park in North Carolina announced that their roller coaster the Intimidator would be undergoing a name change instead of being called The Intimidator would now be called Thunder Striker which is a lot like they just typed in the chat GPT what's the roller coaster name and then they asked Cana to create the most generic looking logo of all time and this is what we got regardless they couldn't come to an agreement with Dei with Theresa nhart to extend the licensing agreement to continue to use that Intimidator name so it's gone and now Thunder Striker there there's also one in at Old Dominion in Virginia that was called Intimidator 305 it will now be called project 305 because there's one thing I know about Cedar Fair it's the fact that they have no creativity left in their bones I mean they took the Italian job and renamed it back lot stunt track these people have no creativity none whatsoever they're like the anti- Disney when it comes to naming things but theres Earnhart has protected these Dei trademarks more than anybody's protected anything in life the people at the Almo didn't protect it as much as she has done this Will Smith tried to protect his wife less than what she's doing with these the people that own the rights to the Eleanor Mustang if you're a car person you completely understand the story behind this they haven't even gone to the extent that Teresa has gone with and those people are insane Teresa just continues to go above and beyond to make everybody's lives miserable and it's all about just chasing this dollar granted I get it she lost a partner very traumatic it was 20 three years ago at this point maybe we just move on at this point it is worth noting though that the trademarks on the number one and the number eight are up this year so she was presented in November and she had to provide details on why she should be able to keep that trademark meaning that she has to at least prove that she's selling merchandise or using that font that logo everything like that um to make money she has until March of this year to prove that if not then those trademarks are back out in the open she let the 15 laps and Michael Waltrip went ahead and snagged that up which I think that makes perfect sense and if it happens to the one and the eight maybe D Jr can swipe in there and uh swoop in there rather and swipe those away from her but it's just like Teresa nhart will not go away and honestly they could have named this something better too than thunder Striker or project 305 like iron head is out there man in Black that could have worked somebody on the internet said Wallbanger or there was a couple other ones I was like all right got a chuckle out of me dark humor I'm I'm in for it but yikes we're go either way just go away Teresa I mean this woman just refuses to have any sort of fun in her life and you know maybe she'll go on the Dale junor download Someday and and talk about everything probably not but it would actually honestly be interesting I'd actually love to hear from her uh um just to sort of see what Teresa Earnhardt's life is like it's not like she needs the money she's sitting on generational wealth uh that came from Dale unless she of course just burned it all but then again if she actually needed cash she could just sell off the Dei archives there as well either way theres nhart just won't go away it's always something with her right in 2022 she got mad at track house for using the one and the 99 and kind of stylizing it the way that um Dei had back in the day and now she shows up doing this again she's going after Carrie it's always something with this lady and she just refuses to ever go fully away so that's what's happening with the roller coaster in case anybody cared uh you can still go visit it it which just be called Thunder Striker and um it'll always be the Intimidator in the hearts of the people that go there I still will go to a theme park and be like I'm referring to it as Top Gun not the bat why would you ever want to do that so moving on Roger kth made history on Friday night in Las Vegas kind of the opposite of Teresa Teresa just annoys everybody Roger's over here doing really cool things so I love it when good things happen to good people and Roger kth is good people after 30 Truck Series starts he goes to Victory Lane on Friday night in Los Vegas becoming only the third black driver in NASCAR history to win a NASCAR National series event that's a massive accomplishment I know people on the internet are like it doesn't matter about race why is race always got to be brought up because when only three more people have walked on the moon than black people have won in NASCAR it's worth talking about it's something worth mentioning in it and for Raja this kid just started racing cars in 2019 Flash Forward 5 years basically and he's standing in Victory Lane of a NASCAR National event not at a super speedway didn't lock into it qualified on poll LED 38 laps and then secures the victory there at the end somebody in the comments I know 100% will be like well the two people that he was battling with got speeding penalties well they shouldn't have got speeding penalties then he still had to pass Taylor grade to win the race and he went on to win it if Tyler anram wins that race or if Taylor Gray wins that race are people being like well the two people that he was racing with got penalties no they're not it's always something for Raja though this is massive his off season we knew he was going to Spire like if he was going somewhere it was going to be despire Hendrick cars.com and Rick Hendrick stepped in to sponsor him at least in 10 races this year the get his his deal going they announced this week that they'll be sponsoring him in all 23 races in the Truck Series this year which again is huge for him and huge for that Spire team Hendrick Motorsports seems to have taken a vested interest in Roger they put him in the exfinity car at the end of 2023 wouldn't be shocked to see him show up there again this year but now they're also backing him at Spire he has the hendrik Motorsports badging on his driver suit there's a lot of connection there so I'm not saying he's a development driver for the team but they're certainly keeping him close to the vest or close to the family at least over at hendrik Motorsports and for Raja the he's an all-around good kid right he's a senior at Winston Sal Salem State University of North Carolina there he say he's going to graduate in December of this year massive accomplishment for him he's an absolute sponge this kid just studies racing more than I think any other development driver that we've ever seen out there if he's not in the race he's on the roof or he's on a pit box just trying to get more information than he can he breaks down races before they happen with Bubba Wallace and the week leading up to whatever that is he constantly is talking to spotters and trying to get a better feel on what he can do better as a driver I sat with him last year on the hillside at IRP he and Daniel die before the truck race we watched the end of the uh arker race and the kid just sits there and he just like I said absorbs everything that's going on he was yelling at Luke fin housee a few times to move his Lane up and ultimately end up costing Luke but there was some other funny business that was happening there like I said though the guy just absolutely gets it he's 100% the type development driver you want to see in NASCAR he's not here because he's a spoiled rich kid he's not here because his dad owns a team or anything like that he's here because he can drive a race car and that's exactly what he went out there and did on Friday night in Las Vegas and again he beat a field that had Christopher reell Zayn Smith and Kyle bushan it all three guys are in the Nascar Cup Series and people still want to discredit it it just blows my mind either way it's very cool to see Roger kth go to Victory Lane and he's having a massive year just through the first three races in 2023 he ran a full season with GMS racing he had three top 10 across the entire season to start this year he has three top 10 and three races two top fives and a win to go along with it he's having a career year he's locked into the playoffs right now as well along with Nick Sanchez who would have ever thought maybe those would be the first two guys to lock themselves into the truck series playoffs but for Raja he's got it done I'm excited to see what happens for him the rest of the year and for once the truck series like actually was pretty decent for the most part it wasn't a disaster like we've come to expect from what was once kind of just ARCA that's now morphed into the truck series so love to see that like And subscribe to the channel follow

_2yDeXwI8N0	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2yDeXwI8N0	✅ 2021 Review Arlo Essential Wire-Free Video Doorbell HD Video \| Top 5 Best Video Doorbell in 2021	i have a question for you guys which video doorbell are you using now and what is your opinion on it let me know in the comments number five ring video doorbell best budget option the first thing we noticed was the ring's size it's a bit big it's nearly the size of google's nest hello and has a rectangular design akin to something like the august video doorbell now this is certainly a matter of preference but we tend to prefer rounder designs and a slimmer profile like the arlo video doorbell the app felt well designed with user experience in mind after going through the setup process we started to notice some pretty cool features while the app doesn't tell you to do this it's important that you select the 2.4 gigahertz channel on your router if you have it while it's a little counter intuitive since the five gigahertz channel offers faster speeds 2.4 gigahertz is actually better at penetrating balls and is better suited for connecting a device like a video doorbell it has 1080p hd wired video doorbell with two-way torque advanced motion detection standard 2.4 gigahertz connectivity and customizable privacy settings it has plenty of more features you can connect with alexa to hear alerts on your compatible echo device or see a live view with an echo device that has a screen overall we were really happy with the ring video doorbell it really is one of the best budget video doorbells in the market number four arlo essential video doorbell best for most people the arlo essential video doorbell wire free is identical to the arlo video doorbell in every way except it's powered by a rechargeable battery making it ideal for homes that don't have an existing wired doorbell it captures detailed footage and benefits from the same ai features that can quickly indicate the source of any motion alerts it's got the same slim and stylish design as the arlo video doorbell and as well as calling your smartphone when someone presses the doorbell so you can converse directly with them through your handset it'll also notify you of any motion detected it may be more expensive than rings rival battery-powered doorbells but its higher resolution camera and smart features mean it's actually more comparable with the ring video doorbell pro and recently announced ring video doorbell pro 2 which cost more than the arlo essential video doorbell the doorbell also has a built-in siren to help deter potential intruders which can be set to be activated automatically when motion is detected or activated manually from the app arlo says the battery in the arlo essential video doorbell wire free will last up to six months between charges this is the best video doorbell on the market that doesn't require hard wiring in terms of video quality and features number three simply safe doorbell best mid-range option like the rest of their security system simply safe impressed us when it came to their video doorbell our favorite features the camera's 1080p hd video 162 degree field of view and clear infrared night vision to name a few granted simply safe doesn't have a long list of video doorbells like ring does but hey the fact that simply safe offers one is more than enough for us as with security cameras artificial intelligence is an essential feature to keep annoying alerts to a minimum the simply safe video doorbell pro has personal detection and can ignore motion from cars and animals which meant we only received notifications when a person walked by or approached our front door while 1080p hd video quality is the standard among security cameras and video doorbells we were surprised to find that the simply safe video doorbell pro kicks it up a notch with hdr which got rid of glare and shadows on our outdoor footage simply say video doorbell pro's night vision utilizes two infrared led sensors so we were able to see who was at our doorstep when night fell even the glare from one of our friend's glasses shot in our live stream one night and while this didn't bode too well for our eyes the longer we stared at the glare the video quality was still very clear at night definitely one of the best video doorbells in the market number 2. ring video doorbell 3 easiest to install before its acquisition by amazon ring was known as doorbot and appeared on shark tank with its flagship product the video doorbell since then ring has produced a plethora of video doorbell options along with security systems and cameras rather than the traditional doorbell video doorbells provide real-time footage of who's at the door and live communication find the two-way audio feature we'll be taking a look at the ring video doorbell 3 and its core features design wise the ring video doorbell 3 sticks to what the ring video doorbell family knows best rectangles one huge improvement from the ring video doorbell 2 to 3 is that it works on a 5 gigahertz network what does this mean well we receive notifications a lot faster than when we hooked up the video doorbell to the 2.4 gigahertz network with 1080p hd and the 160 degree field of view though the ring video doorbell 3 allowed us to clearly see friends and family who visited our apartment so it wasn't entirely a lost cause for the price of the ring video doorbell 3 has all the essential features that we needed from a video doorbell 1080p hd video quality two-way audio infrared night vision and 160 degree field of view very few improvements were step forward in the right direction number one ring peephole cam best for apartments the ring pee pole cam is designed to fit around an existing peephole in your front door it delivers all the features you'd expect from a smart doorbell but with little physical impact to the property the feature lineup reads just like a smart doorbell because that's what the peephole cam is except it's cleverly engineered to slot through the door instead of sitting next to it an integrated 1080p high definition camera with two-way talk lets you see and chat with visitors from the comfort of your smartphone wherever you are you'll receive notifications from people cams motion sensors when someone passes by knocks on your door or presses the doorbell the great news for renters is that installing the battery covered p pole cam requires no tools and should do no damage to the door you'll just need to unscrew your existing peephole and keep it safe when you move on if your doorway faces a busy path or hallway motion sensitivity will be reduced to minimize false alarms or you can switch it off completely if you have a screen door or storm door covering your entrance night vision will be disabled to prevent infrared light reflecting back into and blinding the camera if the apartment's rocking a fire tv or echo show the convenience of seeing who's at the door on a larger screen is great to have buying guide resolution and viewing angle most video doorbells are going to give you hd video but if detail is really important to you opt for something with full hd 1080p resolution cameras with wide dynamic range like the one in the nest hello can compensate for bright backgrounds that you still get a clear image in scenes with a lot of contrast a video doorbell that can't see in the dark would be pretty useless fortunately most have built in infrared leds for decent black and white imaging at night field of view most bells offer a wide field of view letting you see the whole scene of what's happening outside even at night and often with a decent zoom lens too you also have the option to set designated and customized activity zones letting you pinpoint the exact area to be alerted about whenever there's motion detected this is a huge help not just for security and safety but to cut down on notifications from a super sensitive camera that's sending you constant alerts whenever the wind blows or a cat walks by storage all those videos and photos of visitors and outside activity need to be stored somewhere and can add up fast especially with continuous monitoring while some units include an sd card or store a finite amount of files locally space is limited that's where the cloud comes in for a few extra bucks per month cloud storage provides a big boost in the amount of files you can keep around it's an option that's available on most models and is great for heavy usage but for moderate to quiet activity and frequently deleting big files you no longer need local storage usually does the trick do doorbell cameras need wi-fi no doorbell cameras do not need wi-fi to function wi-fi is the preferred method of connectivity for doorbell cameras but it's not the only option some doorbell cameras can also use 3g 4g or 5g cellular data you can also connect using a mobile hotspot what's the easiest video doorbell to install naturally a wireless doorbell is the easiest type to install as it draws power from batteries rather than from your home's electric and doesn't require that you turn off power or mess with any wire	Monahan Harvey

CjGA3m8M83E	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjGA3m8M83E	Chapter 3 from Historical Materialism: A System of Sociology by Nikolai Bukharin	historical materialism a system of sociology by Nikolai Bukharin Chapter three dialectical materialism a [Music] materialism and idealism and philosophy the problem of the objectives in our consideration of the question of the human will the question whether it is free or determined by certain causes like everything else in the world we arrived at the conclusion that we must adopt the point of view of determinism we found that the will of man is not divine in character that it depends on external causes and on the conditions of the human organism this brought us faced faced with the most important question that has troubled the human mind for thousands of years the question as to the relation between matter and mind which in simple parlance is often spoken of as the relation between soul and body in general we distinguish between two kinds of phenomena phenomena of the one kind have extension occupies space are observed through our external senses we may see them hear them and feel them taste them etc such we call material phenomena others have no place in space and cannot be felt or seen such for example are the human mind or will or feeling but no one can doubt their existence the philosopher decart considered just this circumstance to be the proof of man's existence decart said cachito ergo sum I think therefore I am yet man's thought cannot be felt or smelled it has no color and cannot be directly measured in yards or meters such phenomena are called psychical in simple language spiritual we have now to consider the question of the relation between these two kinds of phenomena is the mind at the beginning of all things or is it matter which comes first which is the basis does matter produce mind or does mind produce matter what is the relation between the two this question and the fundamental conception of philosophy on the answer to which depends the answer to many other questions in the domain of the social sciences let us try to consider it from as many standpoints as possible first of all we must bear in mind that man is a part of nature we cannot know for certain whether other more highly organized creatures exist on other planets although it is probable that such do exist for the number of planets seems endless but it is clearly apparent to us that the being called man is not a divine creature standing outside of the world projected from some other unknown mysterious universe but as we know from the Natural Sciences he is a product and a portion of nature subject to its general laws from the example of the world as we know it we find that psychic phenomena the phenomena of the so called spirit are an infinitesimal portion of the sum of all phenomena in the second place we know that man has sprung from other animals and that after all living creatures have been in existence on earth only for a time when the earth was still a flaming sphere resembling this the Sun today long before it had cooled there was no life on its surface nor thinking creatures of any kind organic nature grew out of dead nature living nature produced a form capable of thought first we had matter incapable of thought out of which developed thinking matter man if this is the case and we know it is from natural science it is plain that matter is the mother of mind mind is not the mother of matter children are never older than their parents mind comes later and we must therefore consider it the offspring and not the parent as the immoderately Partizan worshipers of everything spiritual would make it in the third place mine does not appear until we already have are organized in a certain manner zero cannot think nor can a doughnut or the hole in it faint nor can mind think without matter man's brain a part of man's organism thinks a man's organism is matter organized in a highly intricate form in the fourth place it is quite clear from the above why matter may exist without mind while mind may not exist without matter matter existed before the appearance of a thinking human the earth existed long before the appearance of any kind of mind on its surface in other words matter exists objectively independently of mind but the psychic phenomena the so called mind never nowhere existed without matter we're never independent of man of matter thought does not exist without a brain desires are impossible unless there is a desiring organism mind is always closely connected with matter only in the Bible do we find the Spirit hovering unaided over the waters in other words psychic phenomena the phenomena of consciousness are simply a property of matter organized in a certain manner a function of such master a function of a certain quantity is a second quantity depending on the first now man is a very delicately organised creature destroy this organization disorganize it take it apart cut it out in the mind at once disappears if men were able to put together this system again to assemble the human organism in other words if it were possible to take human body apart and put it together again just as one may do with the parts of a clock consciousness would also at once return once the clock has been reassembled it will operate and start to tick put together the human organism and it will start to think of course we are not yet able to do this but we have already seen in our discussion of determinism that the state of mind of the consciousness depends on the state of the organized intoxicate the organism with alcohol the consciousness will become confused the mind is befuddled restore the organism to its normal state for instance administer antidotes for toxic substances and the mind will again begin to work in the normal manner the above clearly shows the dependence of consciousness on matter or in other words of thought on life we have seen that psychical phenomena are a property of matter organized in a certain manner we may therefore have various fluctuations various forms of material organization and also various forms of mental life man with his brain is organized in one manner he is the most perfect psychical life on earth a true consciousness the dog is organized in a different manner and the psyche of the dog therefore differs from that of man the worm is also organized in a special manner and the mind of the worm is consequently extremely poor by no means comparable with that of man the organization of the stone places it with inanimate matter and it therefore has no psychic life at all as a special and intricate organization of matter is required for the appearance of a psyche an extremely intricate organization of matter is the necessary presupposition for the appearance of an intricate psychic life which we call a consciousness on earth this consciousness appears only when matter has been organized as in the case of man with his most complicated instrument the brain in his head thus mind cannot exist without matter while matter may very well exist without mind matter existed before mind mind is a special property of matter organized in a special manner it is not difficult to discern that idealism the doctrine based on a fundamental idea underlining all underlying all things spirit is simply a diluted form of the religious conception according to which a divine mysterious power is placed above nature human consciousness being considered a little spark emanating from this divine power and man himself a creature chosen by God the idealistic point of view if pursued to its conclusion leads to a number of absurdities which are often defined with a serious face by the philosophers of the ruling classes particularly we find associated with idealism such views as deny the external world ie the existence of things objectively independently of the human consciousness sometimes also the existence of other persons the extreme and most consistent form of idealism is the so-called solipsism latin solos alone only obsessed self thus ellipses reasons as follows what data do I possess my consciousness nothing more the house in which I live is present only in my sensations the man with whom I speak also only a sensation in a word nothing exists outside of myself there is only my ego my consciousness my mental existence there is no external world apart from me it is simply a picture of my mind for I am aware of only my own internal life from which I have no means of escaping everything I see here taste everything about which I think and reason is a sensation a consumption a thought of mine this insane philosophy concerning which Schopenhauer wrote that genuine supporters of it could be found only in the insane asylum which did not prevent Schopenhauer however from considering the world all Swilly and worst alone as volition and conception and other words from being an idealist of the purest water is contradicted by human experience at every step when we eat conduct the class struggle put on our shoes pluck flowers write books take away for our husband none of us ever thinks of doubting the existence of the external world ie the existence let us say of the food we eat the shoes we wear the women we marry nonetheless this fallacy is based on the fundamental position of idealism as a matter of fact if mind is the basis of all things what was the state of the case before man existed there are two possible answers either we must assume the existence of a certain extra human Divine Spirit of the variety mentioned in the ancient biblical stories or we must assume that the events of ages long past are also the product of my imagination the first solution leads us to so-called objective idealism which recognizes the existence of an external world independent of my consciousness the essence of this world is found in its spiritual origin in God or in a supreme mind which here takes the place of God in a world will or in some other such hocus-pocus the second solution leads us straight into solipsism through subjective idealism which recognizes the existence only of spiritual beings of a number of thinking subjects it is easy to recognize solipsism as the most consistent form of idealism but where does idealism finds it find its basis as a matter of fact why does it consider the mental beginning to be more primitive and fundamental for the reason in the last analysis that it assumes my data to consist of my sensations only but if this is the case and made out equally well the existence of a most in the yard and of any other human being but myself including my own parents thus solipsism commits suicide for it destroys not only all of idealism in philosophy but in the consistent pursuit of its idealistic views leads to a completely or a complete absurdity to complete insanity contradicted at every step by the actual practice of men theoretical materialism and idealism must not be confused with practical idealism and materialism for the latter have nothing to do with the former a man who remains faithful to his ideal is called an idealist in the practical sense he may be an outspoken opponent of philosophical idealism of theoretical idealism a communist who sacrifices his life is an idealist in practice and get a materialist through and through the Philistine who sobs to his Lord may have very idealistic notions which do not prevent him however from being a base stupid selfish and narrow-minded creature Plato is commonly considered the founder of philosophical idealism Plato believed that only ideas exist objectively ie in reality men pears wagons do not exist the idea of a man of a pair of a wagon does exist these ideal patterns is existing from the beginning of time dwell in a special super mundane resort of Reason what men considered to be pears Wiggins etc are merely wretched shadows of a corresponding idea above all these ideas there hovers like the Spirit of God the supreme idea the idea of the God a tendency to subjective idealism is usually found in those Greek philosophers known as Sophists who set up the principle that man is the measure of all things in the Middle Ages the Platonic ideas began to be interpreted as models and patterns according to which the Lord shapes visible things for instance the louse that we see is created by God according to his loves idea which dwells in a super sensual world more recently Bishop Berkeley developed the view of subjective idealism maintaining that only the spirit exists the rest being mere imagination fect believed that without a subject a cognizing spirit there could be no object external world when that matter is an expression of the idea showing held ideas to be the essence of things based on a divine eternity all being according to Hegel is merely and a few Veeam effluvium of objective reason in the course of its unfolding Schopenhauer regards the world as with any as will and conception Kant recognizes the existence of the objective universe but it is not subject to cognition and is immaterial in its in its nature idealism with its many subdivisions has become very strong in modern philosophy by reason of the predilection of the bourgeoisie for everything that is mystical an indication of its low morale now full of despair eager from rental solace we first find tendencies to materialist philosophy in the ancient Greek philosophers of the so called ionic school who considered matter to be the basis of all being but likewise believed that all matter was capable of more or less feeling these philosophers were therefore called high/low zoa's those who put life into matter from greek Heil matter and though life of course these first steps were rather unsatisfactory in the result thus valleys sought the basis of all being in water and Maxima knees in air Heraclitus and fire annek Anaximander in a certain substance of indefinite nature and embracing all things called by cam operon the infinite unlimited the high-lows OS also included the Stoics who considered all existing things to be material materialism was further developed by the Greeks dim Democritus and Epicurus later by the Roman Lucretia scaris Democritus magnificently expanded the basis of the atomistic theory according to his doctor in the world consists of moving falling material particles atoms whose combinations constitute the invisible universe in the Middle Ages the idealistic claptrap prevailed on the whole the brilliant and profound intellect of Baruch Spinoza developed the idea of the hut Kyla's owest materialists in England the materialist standpoint was defended by Thomas Hobbes materialism was much encouraged in the period preliminary to the French Revolution which produced a number of excellent materialist philosophers Diderot helvetius Halbach whose chief work system to the nutsert appeared in 1770 limit three this group of philosophers of then revolutionary blue jersey has furnished us with excellent formulations of the materialistic theory Diderot ingeniously derided the idealists of the type of berkeley in a moment of madness the sentient piano imagined it was the only piano existing in the world and that the entire harmony of the universe was accomplished within itself in Germany in the 19th century this cause was advanced by Ludwig Feuerbach but a great influence on marx and engels and they in turn furnished the most complete theory of materialism by combining it with the dialectic method and extended the materialistic theory to the social sciences banishing idealism from its last place of refuge of course the senile bourgeoisie now drooling about God like a soft brain old man regards materialism with hatred and is easy to understand that materialism necessarily will be the revolutionary theory of the young revolutionary class the proletariat be the materialist attitude in social sciences everyone will understand that this dispute between materialism and idealism cannot possibly fail to be expressed and the social science is also in fact human society presents a number of phenomena of various kinds for instance we find exalted matters such as religion philosophy and morality we also find innumerable ideas held by men in various fields we find an exchange of goods or distribution of products we find a struggle between various classes among themselves there is a production of products we try shoes machinery varying with the time and place how shall we proceed to explain this society from what angle shall we approach it what shall we consider its fundamental element and what its secondary or resulting element all these are obviously the same questions that have been faced by philosophy and that I've necessarily divided the Philosopher's into two great camps that of the materialists and that of the idealists on the one hand we may imagine persons approaching society in approximately the following manner society consists of persons who think act desire are dominated by ideas thoughts opinions from which they infer opinion dominates the world an alteration of opinion a change in the views of men is the fundamental cause of everything that goes on in society in other words social science must in the first place investigate precisely this phase of the matter namely the social consciousness the mind of society such would be the idealist standpoint in the social sciences but we have seen above that idealism involves an admission of the independence of ideas from the material and of the dependence of these ideas on divine and mysterious Springs it is therefore obvious that the idealist point of view involves a downright mysticism or other tomfoolery in the social sciences and consequently leads to a destruction of these Sciences to their substitution by faith in the acts of God or in some other such conception thus the French writer vos sweat in his reflections on universal history from the Ephraim 1682 declares that history reveals a divine guidance of the human race the German idealist philosopher Lessing declares that history is an education of the human race by God fect states that reason is manifest in history shelling that history is a constant and progressively discovered revelation of the absolute in other words of God Hegel the greatest philosopher of idealism define the history of the world as a rational necessary evolution of the world's spirit many other such examples could be given but the above will suffice to show how closes the connection between philosophical views and those prevailing in the social sciences the idealist forms of the social sciences and the idealist sociologists therefore behold in society first of all the idea of this society they consider society itself as something psychical in material society in their opinion is a great mass of human desires feelings thoughts wills confused and endless combinations in other words society is social psychology and the social consciousness is the mind of society but society may also be approached from an entirely different standpoint in our discussion of determinism we found that man's will is not free but it is determined by the external conditions of man's existence is not society also subject to these laws how shall we explain the social consciousness and what does it depend the mere formulation of these questions brings to mind the materialist standpoint in social science human society is a product of nature like the human race itself it depends on nature and may exist only by obtaining its necessities from nature this does by the progress of production it may not always do so consciously a conscious process is possible only in an organized society in which everything proceeds according to a plan in unorganized society the process goes on unconsciously for example under capitalism the manufacturer wishes to obtain more profits and therefore increases his production but not for the purpose of affording assistance to human society the peasant produces in order to provide himself with food and to sell a portion of his production to pay his taxes the tradesman in order to keep himself above water and establish himself in society the worker in order not to starve as a result the entire society in some way continues to muddle along for better or for worse material production and its means the material productive forces are the foundation of the existence of human society without it there cannot be a social consciousness mental culture just as there cannot be a thought without a thinking brain we shall take up this question in detail later on for the present let us consider only the following let us imagine two human societies one a society of savages the other a society in the final stage of capitalism in the former society all activities are devoted to the immediate securing of foodstuffs hunting fishing the gathering of roots primitive agriculture of ideas of mental culture etc there is very little we are dealing here with men that are hardly more than monkeys tribal animals in the second example we have a sublime mental culture a great Babylonian confusion of morality justice with its countless laws highly evolved endless sciences philosophies religions and arts from our architecture devta fashion plates and yet this Babylonian confusion is of one type where the bourgeoisie rules it is quite different where proletarians rule different again for the peasants etc in a word in this case as we usually put it the sublime mental culture the mind of society the sum of ideas is extremely developed how was it possible for this mind to develop what were the conditions of its growth the growth of material production the increase in the power of man over nature the increase in the productivity of human labour for when not all the available time is consumed in exhausting material labour people are free a portion of the time which affords them an opportunity to think reason work with a plan create a mental culture as everywhere else so in society also matter is the mother of mind and not mind the mother of matter it is not the social mental culture social consciousness that produces the substance of society ie above all material production the obtaining of all kinds of useful objects from nature by society but it is the evolution of this social substance ie the evolution of material production that creates the foundation for the growth of the so called mental culture in other words the spiritual life of society must necessarily depend on the conditions of material production on the stage that has been attained in the growth of the productive forces in human society the mental life of society is a function of the forces of production what this function is just how the mental life of society grows out of the productive forces that is a subject that will be discussed later for the present we may only observe that this view of society naturally makes us consider it not as an aggregate of all possible kinds of opinions particularly in the domain of the sublime and beautiful the elevated and pure but first of all as a working organization Marx sometimes called it a productive organism such as the materialist point of view in the domain of sociology this point of view as we know by no means denies that ideas have their effects Marx even said distinctly in discussing the highest stage of consciousness which is scientific theory every Theory becomes a force when it secures control over masses but materialists cannot be satisfied with a mere reference to the fact that people thought so they asked why did people in a certain place at a certain time think so and think otherwise under other conditions in fact why do people think such an awful lot anyway in civilized society producing whole mountains of books and other things while the savage does not think at all we shall find the explanation in the material conditions of the life of society materialism is therefore in a position to explain the phenomena of mental life in society which idealism cannot for idealism imagines ideas developing out of themselves independently of the base earth for this very reason the idealists whenever they wish to construct any real explanation are forced to resorting to the divine this God or this good wrote Hegel in his philosophy of history this reason in its concrete Concepcion is God God rules the world the content of his government Redrum the execution of his plan is universal history to drag in this poor old man who constitutes perfection according to his worshippers and he was obliged to create together with atom lice and prostitutes murderers and lepers hunger and poverty syphilis and vodka as a punishment for sinners whom he created and who commit sins by his desire and to continue playing this comedy forever in the eyes of a delighted universe to Dragon God is a necessary step for idealist theory but from the point of view of science it means reducing this theory to an absurdity in other words in the social sciences also the materialist point of view is the correct one the consistent application of the materialist point of view to the social sciences is the work of Marx and Engels in the Year 1859 in which Marx is both a contribution to the creat critique of political economy which presented an outline of his sociological theory the theory of historical materialism appeared there also appeared the principle work of Charles Darwin Origin of Species whose author maintained and proved that changes in the animal and vegetable kingdoms are influenced by the material conditions of existence but if I know me as follows that the Darwinian laws may be applied without further ado to to to cite to society we have first to prove the peculiar form in which the general laws of natural science are applicable in human society a form characteristic of human society only Marx bitterly divided anyone who failed to understand this thus he wrote considering the German scholar Fa Lang er Lang it seems has made a great discovery all history must be limited under a single great law of nature this law of nature is the phrase for in the suits Darwin's expression is a mere phrase the struggle for life instead of analyzing this struggle for life which expresses itself historically in distinct and varied forms of society all you need do is to rechristened any concrete struggle with the phrase struggle for life of course Marx had his forerunners particularly the so-called utopian socialists saint-simon but before Marx the materialist standpoint had not been consistently carried out by anyone in form capable of creating a truly scientific sociology see the dynamic point of view in the relation between phenomena there are two possible ways of regarding everything in nature and in society in the eyes of some everything is constantly at rest and mutable beings ever were and ever will be thus there is nothing new Under the Sun to others however it appears that there is nothing unchanging in nature or in society all earthly things have passed away there's no going back to the past the second point of view is called the dynamic point of view the former point of view is called static which is the correct position is it the world is is the world an immovable and permanent thing or is it constantly changing constantly in motion different today from yesterday even a hasty glance at nature will at once convince us that there is nothing immutable about it people formerly considered the moon and the stars to be motionless like golden nails driven into the sky likewise the earth was motionless etc but we now know that the Stars the moon and the earth are dashing through space covering enormous distances and we also know that the smallest particles of matter the atoms consists of still smaller particles electrons flying about revolving within the atom as the heavenly bodies of the solar system revolve around the Sun but the whole world consists of such particles and how can anything be considered constant in a universe whose component parts gyrate with whirlwind speed it was formerly also believed that plants and animals whereas God created them hacen asks us f fo tada bedbug in leprosy beckalus plane housed an elephant cuttlefish and metal all were created by God in the first days of creation in their present form we now know that such was not the case the forms of animals and plants are not such as the Lord of creation deemed to make them and the animals in plants now living on earth are quite different from those of other days we still find skeletons or impressions in the rock or remnants in the ice of the huge beasts and plants of bygone ages gigantic flying beasts covered with scales pterodactyls huge horse tails and ferns whole forests later petrified into anthracite coal a remnant of the primeval forests of prehistoric days veritable monsters such as atheists or I brontosaur I iguanodons etc all these once existed and are now extinct but we then had no fir trees birches cows or sheep in a word all is changing under our zodiac what is more there were no humans for the latter developed from hairy semi Apes not very long ago we no longer marvel at the changes that have taken place in the forms of animals and plants but it should surprise us still less that we ourselves may outdo the almighty in this field any good swineherd find an appropriate choice of food and an appropriate meeting of male and female can continue to produce new races the york shire hog which is fact that it cannot walk is a creature of human effort as is also the pineapple strawberry the black rose and many a variety of domestic animals cultivated plants uh domestic domestic animals and cultivated plants is not man himself constantly changing under our very eyes just the Russian worker of the revolutionary epoch even externally resemble the Slavic savage and hunter of bygone days the race and appearance of men are subject to change with everything else in the world what is the inference evidently that there is nothing immutable and rigid in this universe we are not dealing with rigid things but with a process the table at which I am writing at this moment cannot be considered an immutable thing it is changing from second to second to be sure these changes may be imperceptible to the human eye or ear but the table if it should continue to stand for many years would rot away and be transformed into dust and this would merely be a repetition of all that has gone before nor would the particles of the table be lost he would assume another form would be carried away by the wind would become a portion of the soil serving as a nourishment for plants thus being transformed for instance into plant tissue etc there is therefore a constant change a constant journey a constant succession of new forms matter in motion such as the stuff of this world it is therefore necessary for the understanding of any phenomenon to study it in its process of origination how whence why it came to be its evolution its destruction in a word its motion and not its seeming state of rust this diamond dynamic point of view is also called the dialectic point of view other traits of dialectics will be treated below the difference between the dynamic and static point of view is already found in the ancient Greek philosopher the so-called le le attic school headed by permanent permanent Parmenides taught that everything was immovable according to Parmenides being is eternal constant unchanged unique uniform indivisible homogeneous immutable like a round sphere at rest Zeno and le attic philosopher sought to prove by means of very ingenious observations that motion was impossible at all Heraclitus on the other hand taught that there was nothing that did not move he maintained that everything flows nothing rests according to her Heraclitus it was impossible to descend twice into the same river for the second time the river would already be a different river his associate associate cratylus was of the opinion that it was impossible to bathe even once in the same river since well the latter was constantly changing Democritus also assumed motion to be the basis of all things specifically a straight-line motion of atoms among modern philosophers Hegel of whom Marx was a disciple defended motion and becoming origin transformation from not being into being with particular persistence but for Hegel the basis of the universe was the movement of mind while Marx to use the latter's own words turned Hegel's dialectics upside down replacing the movement of mind or the movement of matter in the natural sciences the views still prevailed at the beginning of the 19th century which was expressed by the famous scientist Linnaeus there are as many species as the Supreme Being has created theory of the persistence of species the most important advocate of the opposite view was Lamarck and leader as already indicated Charles Darwin who finally feuded the old concessions the world being in constant motion you must consider phenomena in their mutual relations and not as isolated cases all portions of the universe are actually related to each other and exert an influence on each other the slightest motion the slightest alteration in one place simultaneously changes everything else the change may be great or small that is another matter at any rate there is a change for example let us say the volga forests have been cut down by men the result is that less water is retained by the soil with resulting partial change in climate the Volga runs dry navigation on its waters becomes more difficult making necessary the use and therefore the production of treasuring machinery more persons are employed in the manufacture of such machinery on the other hand the animals formerly living in the forests disappear new animals formerly not dwelling in these regions put in their appearance the former animals have either died out or migrated to forest areas etc and we may go even further with a change in climate it is clear that the condition of the entire planet has been changed and therefore an alteration in the Volga climate to a certain extent changes the universal climate further if the map of the world has changed the slightest extent this involves also a change we must even suppose in the relations between the Earth and the moon or Sun etc etc I am now writing on paper with a pen i thus impart pressures to the table the table presses upon the earth calling forth a number of further changes I move my hand vibrate as I breathe and these motions pass on in slight impulses ending Lord knows where the fact that these may be but small changes does not change the essential nature of the matter all things in the universe are connected with an indissoluble bond nothing exists as an isolated object independent of its surroundings of course we are not obliged at every moment to pay attention to the universal honking to nation of phenomena a discussion of poultry raising Nina always lead us into a discussion of everything else same time the Sun the Moon for instance which would be folly for in this case the universal bond of all phenomena would not help us but in a discussion of theoretical questions it is very often necessary for us to bear this relation in mind even in practice it cannot always be ignored we are in the habit of saying that a certain man cannot see further than his nose which means that he considers his environment as isolated as having no relation with what lies beyond it thus the peasant brings his product to the market thinking he will make a handsome profit but suddenly finds prices so low that he hardly recovers his outlay the market finds him together with the other producers it transpires that so much green has been produced and thrown on the market that only a low price can be obtained how could our peasant make such a mistake simply because he did not and could not from his out of the day home out of the way home observe his own relations with the world market the bourgeoisie instead of becoming richer after the war found itself facing a revolution of the workers for the reason that this war was connected with a number of other things which the bourgeoisie did not understand the Mensheviks and the social revolutionaries the social Patriots in all countries declared that the Bolshevik power in Russia could not maintain itself for long the root of their error was in the fact that they regarded Russia as an isolated case having no relation with all of Western Europe or with the growth of the world revolution which lends assistance to the Bolsheviks when in simple parlance we rightly say that all the circumcision this must be taken into consideration what we really mean is that a given phenomenon or a given question must be considered with regard to its connections with other phenomena into soluble union with all sir all the circumstances in the first place therefore the dialectic method of interpretation demands that all phenomena be considered in there into soluble relations in the second place that they be considered in their state of motion D the historical interpretation of the social sciences since everything in the world is in a state of change in indissolubly connected with everything else we must draw the necessary conclusions for the social sciences let us consider human society which has by no means been always the same a number of very different forms of human society are known to us for instance in Russia the working classes help power since November 1917 supported by a portion of the peasantry well the blue schwa z is kept is being kept within bounds although a part of it about two million has emigrated the workers state controls the factories machine shops railroads before 1917 the Bush huazi and the landowners were in power controlling everything and the workers and peasants laboured to them at a still earlier period before the so called liberation of the peasants in 1861 the bushwa ze was for the greater part a trading class there were a few factories the land holders ruled the peasants like cattle and had the right to whip them sell them or exchange them if we trace the course of bygone centuries we shall find semi symud semi savage nomadic tribes so slight is the similarity between these various forms of society that if we should be able to by a miracle to resuscitate a robust feudal landowner given to whippings and greyhounds and to bring him let us say into a meeting of a factory or work work committee or Soviet the poor fellow would probably die of heart failure at once we are also acquainted with other forms of society in ancient Greece for example when Pluto and Heraclitus were constructing their philosophies everything was built up on the labor of slaves who were the property of great slave holders in the ancient American state of the Incas there was a regulated and organized society dominated by a class of priestly Nobles a sort of intelligentsia which controlled and managed everything and guided the national economy a ruling class superior to all other classes we might give many other examples as evidence of the constant flux in the social structure nor does this necessarily mean that the human race has constantly improved ie gradually approached perfection we have already pointed out that there have been many cases of the destruction of very highly developed human societies thus for example the land of the Greeks sages and slaveholders passed away but Greece and Rome at least had an enormous influence on the leader course of history they served as a fertilizer for history but it has sometimes happened that entire civilizations have disappeared without a trace and other people's and other times for example professor Edward Meyer writes concerning the evidence of an ancient civilization discovered in France by means of excavations we are here dealing with a highly developed civilization of primitive men which was subsequently destroyed by a tremendous chaos - tossed Rafi and had no influence whatever on future ages there is no historical relation between this Paleolithic culture and the beginnings of the Neolithic epoch but while we may not always observe growth there's always motion and alteration though it may end in destruction or dissolution such motion is observed not only in the fact that the social system is in process of change for social life as such is constantly changing decisively in all its expressions the technology of society is changing we need only to compare the stone hatchets and spear heads of ancient times with the steam hammer manners and customs change for instance we know that certain races of man take pleasure in eating the captives they have taken which even a French imperialist of the present day would not do himself but he will have his black troops in the process of serving civilization cut the ears off dead bodies certain tribes had the habit of killing their old men or young girls in this process was considered highly moral and holy the political system is changing we have seen with our own eyes how the autocracy yielded to a Democratic Republic then to a Soviet republic scientific views religion everyday life and all the relations between these change even the things we consider essential fundamental but by no means always as they are we have not always had newspapers soap clothing we have not even always had it state faith in God capital firearms even the conception of what is beautiful and not beautiful is subject to change the forms of family life are not immutable we are aware of the existence of polygamy polyandry monogamy and promiscuous cohabitation in other words social life suffers constant change together with everything else in nature human society therefore passes through different stages different forms in its evolution or decline it follows in the first place that we must consider and investigate each form of society in its own peculiar terms we cannot throw into a single pot all epochs periods social forms we cannot consider under a single head and recognize no differences between them the feudal the slaveholding and the proletarian worker's systems of society we cannot afford to overlook the differences between the Greek slaveholder the Russian feudal landowner the capitalist manufacturer the slaveholding system is one thing it has its special traits its earmarks it's special growth feudalism is another thing or another type capitalism a third etc in communism the communism of the future also has its special structure the transition period preceding it the period of proletarian dictatorship is also a special system each such system has peculiar traits that require special study by this means only can we grasp the process of change for since each form has its special traits it also must have its special laws of growth its special laws of motion for instance marx says in capital concerning the capitalist system the main object of his study is to discover the laws of motion of capitalist society for this purpose marx how to explain all the peculiarities of capitalism all its characteristic traits only thus could he discover its law of motion and predict the inevitable absorption of petit production by large-scale production the growth of the proletariat its collision with bourgeoisie the revolution of the working-class and together with this the transition to the the dictatorship of the proletariat most bourgeois historians do not proceed thus they are inclined to confuse the merchants of ancient times with the present-day capitalists the parasite lump and proletariat of Greece and Rome with the proletariat of the present day this confusion is useful to the bourgeoisie in its effort to demonstrate the enduring power of capital some and the futility of the slave uprisings in Rome from which it occurs the futility of present day proletarian uprisings and yet the Roman proletarians had nothing in common with the present-day workers and the Roman merchants had very little similarity with the capitalists of our time the whole structure of life was different and is therefore easy to see that this course of change must then have been different Marx says every historical period has laws of its own as soon as society has outlived a given period of development and is passing over from one given stage to another it begins to be subject also to other laws for sociology which is social science in its most general form dealing not with the individual forms of society but with society in general this law is very important as a guide for the specific social sciences for all of which sociology as we have seen constitutes a method in the second place each form must be studied in its internal process of change we are not dealing first with a single form of social structure perfect and immutable and succeeded by another equal immutable form in society it is untrue for instance that capitalism continues throughout its entire period and unchanged form to be succeeded by an equal unchanging socialism as a matter of fact each specific form is constantly undergoing change throughout the period of its existence it is passed through a number of stages in its development treating capital capitalism industrial financial capitalism with its imperialist policy state capitalism during the world war nor did the nature of the case remain uniform within each of these stages it would then have been impossible for one stage to yield place to another indeed each preceding stage was a preparation for the following stage during the period of industrial capitalism for example the of concentration of capital was going on on this foundation financial capital with its trusts and banks was built up in the third place each form of society must be considered in its growth and in its necessary disappearance ie in its relation with other forms no form of society descends from heaven each is a necessary consequence of the preceding social state often it is difficult to discern the boundaries between them the termination of one the beginning of the other one period overlaps the other historical epochs are not rigid and immovable units like physical objects they are processes current forms of life subject to constant change in order to trace properly any such form of society you must go back to its roots in the past follow the causes of its growth all the conditions of its formation the motive forces of its development and it is also necessary to study the causes of its inevitable destruction the tendencies which necessarily involve the disappearance of this form and prepare the introduction of the next form each stage is thus a link in the chain it is connected with a link behind it and a link ahead of it even though bushwa scholars may admit this fact as far as the past is concerned it is impossible for them to grant it with regard to the present capitalism will not perish they are willing to go so far as to trade the roots of capitalism or trace the roots of capitalism but they are afraid to think of the conditions that leave toppled capitalism to its destruction this blindness constitutes all the wisdom of present-day economy like economists who teach the permanence and harmony of the existing social relations capitalism evolved from medieval feudal conditions owing to the growth of the commodity system capitalism is passing into communism through the dictatorship of the proletariat only by tracing the connections of capital with the proceeding system and its necessary transformation into communism can we understand this form of society every other form of society must be studied from the same point of view this is one of the demands of the dialectic method which may also be called the historical point of view since it regards each form of society not as permanent but as an historical stage appearing at a certain moment in history and similarly disappearing the historicism of marx has nothing in common with the so called historical school in jurisprudence and political economy this reactionary school finds its principal tasks in providing the slowness of all changes and in defending any bit of antiquated gossip that is hollowed by age Heinrich Heine already said concerning the school we wear that King in Thule avoid the north and his lurking dangers police gen darns whole historic historic schools you and they are better strangers to guard the secret to traditions is an imperative necessity for the bourgeoisie it is for this reason particularly that phenomena that although their origin to a specific historical stage are considered to be eternal to have been handed down by God and therefore insurmountable we shall take three examples one the state we now know that the state is a class organization that there cannot be a state without classes that a class the state is a round square that the state could not arise until a certain stage in human evolution had been reached but listen to the bluej historians even the best of them Edward Myers says how far the formation of organic groups can proceed in the case of animals I often had occasion to observe 30 years ago in Constantinople in the case of the street dogs they were organized in sharply distinct quarters into which they would have meant no outside dogs and every evening the dogs of each quarter gather in an empty lot for a meeting of about half an hour in which they bark loudly we may therefore actually speak of dog states of definite outline in space it will therefore not surprise us to find Meyer accepting the state as a necessary property of human society if even dogs have States and therefore of course laws justice etc how can men get along without one to capital on this subject the bushwa Economist's show the same idiosyncrasies it is well known that capital has not always existed nor capitalism either capitalists and workers are a phenomenon of historical growth by no means eternal but the BlueCross scholars always define capital as if int and also the capitalist regime had existed from all time thus Torrance wrote in the first stone which he the savage flings that the wild animal he pursues and the stick that he seizes to strike down the fruit which hangs beyond his reach we see the appropriation of one article for the purpose of eating in the acquisition of another and thus discover the origin of capital the monkey beating nuts out of a tree is therefore a capitalist but without workers modern economists are not much better in order to prove the in the Eternity of the state power these poor wretches are obliged to endow their dogs with the capacities of lloyd-george and their monkeys with those of the Rothschilds 3 imperialism blood choise scholars who take up this question often to find imperialism as the effort at expansion in any form of life of course imperialism is the policy of financial capital and financial capital itself did not arise as a dominating economic form until the end of the 19th century little the bourgeois scholars care about that in order to show that things have ever been thus they elevate the chicken which picks up kernels into an imperialist since it annexes these kernels the dog state the capitalist ape and the imperialist chicken are an excellent indication of the level of modern bourgeois science II the use of contradictions in the historical process the basis of all things is therefore the law of change the law of constant motion to philosophers particularly the ancient Heraclitus and the modern Hegel as we have already seen formulated this law of change but they did not stop there we also set up the question of the manner in which the process operates this answer they discovered was that changes are produced by constant internal contradictions internal struggle thus Heraclitus declared conflict is the mother of all happenings while Hegel said contradiction is the power that moves things there is no doubt of the correctness of this law a moment's thought will convince the reader for if there were no conflict no clash of forces the world would be in a condition of unchanging stable equilibrium ie complete and absolute permanence Steve rest precluding all motion such a state of rest would be conceivable only in a system whose component parts and forces would be so related as not to permit of the introduction of any complex us to preclude all mutual interaction all disturbances as we have already as we already know that all things change all things are in flux it is certain that such an absolute state for us cannot possibly exist we must therefore reject a condition in which there is no contradiction between opposing and colliding forces no disturbance of a equilibrium but only an absolute immutability let us take up this matter somewhat more in detail in biology when we speak of adaptation you mean that process by which one thing assumes our relation toward another thing that enables the two to exist simultaneously an animal that is adapted to its environment mint is an animal that has achieved the means of living in that environment it is suited to its surroundings its qualities are such as to enable it to continue to live the mole is adapted to conditions prevailing under the Earth's surface the fish to conditions in the water either animal transformed to the others environment will perish at once a similar phenomenon may be observed also in so-called inanimate nature the earth does not fall into the Sun but revolves around it without mishap the relation between the solar system and the universe which surrounds it enabling both to exist side-by-side is a similar relation in the latter case we commonly speak not of the adaptation but of the equilibrium between bodies or systems of such bodies etc we may observe the same state of things in society whether we like it or not Society lives within nature is therefore in one way or another in equilibrium with nature in the various parts of society if the latter is capable of surviving are so adapted to each other as to enable them to exist side-by-side capitalism which included both capitalists and workers had a very long existence in all these examples it is clear that we are dealing with one phenomenon that of equilibrium this being the case where do the contradictions come in for there is no doubt that conflict is a disturbance of equilibrium it must be recalled that such equilibrium as we observe in nature and in society is not an absolute unchanging equilibrium but an equilibrium in flux which means that the equilibrium may be established and destroyed may be reestablished on a new basis and again disturbed the precise conception of equilibrium is about as follows we save a system that it is in a state of equilibrium when the system cannot of itself ie without supplying energy to it from without emerge from this state if let us say forces are not at work on a body neutralizing each other the body is in a state of equilibrium an increase or decrease in one of these forces will disturb the equilibrium if the disturbance of equilibrium is of short duration and the body returns to its former position the equilibrium is termed stable if this does not ensue the equilibrium is unstable in the Natural Sciences we have mechanical equilibrium chemical equilibrium biological equilibrium in other words the world consists of forces acting in many ways opposing each other these forces are balanced for a moment in exceptional cases only we then have a state of rest I either actual conflict is concealed but if we change only one of these forces immediately the internal contradictions will be revealed equilibrium will be disturbed and if a new equilibrium is again established it will be on a new basis ie with a new combination of forces etc it follows that the conflict the contradiction ie the antagonism of forces acting in various directions determines the motion of the system on the other hand we have here also the form of this process in the first place the condition of equilibrium and the second place a disturbance of this equilibrium in the third place the reestablishment of equilibrium on a new basis and then the story begins all over again the new equilibrium is the point of departure for a new disturbance which in turn is followed by another state of equilibrium etc ad infinitum taken altogether we are dealing with a process of motion based on the development of internal contradictions Hegel observed this characteristic of motion and expressed it in the following manner he called the original condition of equilibrium the thesis the disturbance of equilibria equilibria the thisis the reestablish reestablishment of equilibrium on a new basis the synthesis the unifying proposition reconciling the contradictions the characteristic of motion present in all things expressing itself in this tripartite formula or triad he called dialectic the word dialectics among the ancient Greeks meant the art of eloquence of disputation the course of a discussion is as follows one man says one thing another the opposite negates what the first man said finally truth is born from the struggle and includes a part of the first man's statement and a part of the second man's synthesis similarly in the process of thought so it's Hegel being an idealist regards everything as a self evolution of the spirit he of course did not have any disturbances faith with equilibrium in mind and the properties of thought as a spiritual and original thing were therefore in his mind properties also of being Marx wrote in this connection my dialectic method is not only different from the Hegelian but is its direct opposite to Hegel the life process of the human brain ie the process of thinking which under the name of the idea he even transforms into an independent subject is the Demi Demi or ghost of the real world and the real world is only the external phenomenal form of the idea with me on the contrary the ideal is nothing else than the material world reflected by the human mind and translated into forms of thought with him Hegel it dialectics is standing on its head it must be turned right side up again if you would discover the rational kernel within the mystical shell for Marx dialectics means evolution by means of contradictions particularly a law of being a law of the movement of matter a law of motion in nature in society it finds its expression in the process of thought it is necessary to use the dialectic method the dialectic mode of thought because the dialectics of nature made thus be grasped it is quite possible to transcribe the mystical as Marx put it language of the Hegelian dialectics into the language of modern mechanics not so long ago almost all Marx ian's objected to the mechanical terminology owing to the persistence of the ancient conception of the atom as a detached isolated particle but now that we have the electron theory which represents atoms as complete solar systems we have no reason to shun this mechanical terminology the most advanced tendencies of scientific thought in all fields accept this point of view Marx already gives hints of such a formulation the doctrine of equilibrium between the various branches of production the theory of labor value based thereon etc any object a stone a living thing a human society etc may be considered as a whole consisting of parts elements related with each other in other words this whole may be regarded as a system and no such system exists in empty space it is surrounded by other natural objects which with reference to it may be called the environment for the tree in the forest the environment means all the other trees the brook the earth the ferns the grass the bushes together with all their properties man's environment is society in the midst of which he lives the environment of human society is external nature there is a constant relation between environment and system and the latter in turn acts upon the environment we must first of all investigate the fundamental question as to the nature of the relations between the environment and the system how are they to be defined what are they their forms what is their significance for their system three chief types of such relations may be distinguished one stable equilibrium this is present when the mutual action of the environment in the system results in an unaltered condition or in a disturbance of the first condition which is again reestablished in the original state for example let us consider a certain type of animal living in the steppes the environment remains unchanged the quantity of food available for this type of beast neither increases nor decreases the number of animals preying upon them also remains the same all the diseases all the microbes for all must be included in the environment continue to exist in the original proportions what will be the results viewed as a whole the number of our animals will remain the same some of them will die or be destroyed by beasts of prey others will be born but the given type and the given conditions of the environment will remain the same as they were before this means a condition of rust due to an unchanged relation between the system the given type of animals in the environment which is equivalent to stable equilibrium stable equilibrium is not always a complete absence of motion there may be motion but the resulting disturbance is followed by a reestablishment of equilibrium on the former basis the contradiction between the environment and the system is constantly being reproduced in the same quantitative relation we shall find the case the same in a society of the stagnant type we shall go into this question more in detail later if the relation between society and nature remains the same ie if society extracts from nature by the process of production precisely as much energy as it consumes the contradiction between society and nature will again be reproduced in the former shape the society will mark time and their results state a stable equilibrium to unstable equilibrium with positive favorable indication an expanding system an actual fact however stable equilibrium does not exist it constitutes merely in imaginary sometimes termed the ideal case as a matter of fact the relation between environment in the system is never reproduced in precisely the same proportions the disturbance of equilibrium it never actually leads to its free establishment on exactly the same basis as before but a new equilibrium is created on a new basis for example in the case of the animals mentioned above let us assume that the number of beasts of prey opposing them decreases for some reason while the available food increases there is no doubt that the number of our animals would then also increase our system will then grow a new equilibrium is established on a better basis this means growth in other words the contradiction between the environment in the system has become quantitatively different if we consider human society instead of these animals and assume that the relation between it and nature's altered in such manner that society by means of production extracts more energy from nature than is consumed by society either this soil becomes more fruitful or new tools are devised or both this society will grow and not merely mark time the new equilibrium will in each case be actually new the contradiction between society and nature will in each case be reproduced on a new and higher basis a basis on which society will increase and develop this is a case of unstable equilibrium with positive indication three unstable equilibrium with negative indication a declining system now let us consider the quite different case of a new equilibrium being established on the lower basis let us suppose for example that the quantity of food available to our beasts has decreased or that the number of beasts of prey has for some reason increased our our animals will die out the equilibrium between the system and the environment will in each case be established on the basis of the extinction of a portion of the system the contradiction will be re-established on a new basis with a negative indication or in the case of society let us assume that the relation between it and nature has been altered in such manner the society is obliged to consume more and more and obtain less and less the soil is exhausted technical methods become poorer etc new equilibrium will here be established in each case on a lowered basis by reason of the destruction of a portion of society we are now dealing with a declining society a disappearing system in other words with motion having a negative indication every conceivable case will fall under one of these three heads at the basis of the motion as we have seen there is in fact the contradiction between the environment and the system which is constantly being re-established but the matter has another phase also thus far we have spoken only of the contradictions between the environment and system ie the external contradictions but there are also internal contradictions those that are within the system each system consists of its component parts elements United with each other in one way or another human society consists of people the forests of trees and bushes the pile of stones of the various stones the herd of animals of the individual animals etc between them there are a number of contradictions differences imperfect adaptations etc in other words here also there is no absolute equilibrium if there can be strictly speaking no absolute equilibrium between the environment and the system there can also be no such equilibrium between the elements of the system itself this may be seen best by the example of the most complicated system namely human society here we encounter an endless number of contradictions we find the struggle between classes which is the sharpest expression of social contradictions and we know that the struggle between classes is the motive force of history the contradictions between the classes between groups between ideals between the quantity of labor performed by individuals and the quantity of goods distributed to them the plan lessness in production the capitalist energy in production all these constitute an endless chain of contradictions all of which are within the system and grow out of its contradictory structures structural contradictions but these contradictions do not offer themselves destroy society they may destroy it if for example both opposing classes in a civil war destroy each other but it's also possible they may at times not destroy it in the latter case there will be an unstable equilibrium between the various elements of society we shall leader discuss the nature of this equilibrium for the present we need not go into it but we must not regard society stupidly as do so many bourgeois scholars who overlook its internal contradictions on the contrary a scientific consideration of society requires that we consider from the point of view of the contradictions present within it historical growth is the development of contradictions we must again point out a fact with which shall have to deal more than once in this book we have said that these contradictions are of two kinds between the environment and the system and between the elements of the system and the system itself is there any relation between these two phenomena a moment's thought will show us that such a relation exists it is quite clear that the internal structure of the system its internal equilibrium must change together with the relation existing between the system and its environment the latter relation is the decisive factor for the entire situation of the system the fundamental forms of its motion decline prosperity or stagnation are determined by this relation only let us consider the question in the following form we have seen above that the character of the equilibrium between society and nature determines the fundamental course of the motion of society under these circumstances could the internal structure continue for long to develop in the opposite direction of course not in the case of a growing society it would not be possible for the internal structure of society to continue constantly grow to grow worse if in a condition of growth the structure of society should become poorer ie its internal disorders grow worse this would be equivalent to the appearance of a new contradiction a contradiction between the external and the internal equilibrium which would require the society if it is to continue growing to undertake a reconstruction ie its internal structure must adapt itself to the character of the external equilibrium consequently the internal structural equilibrium is a quantity which depends on the external equilibrium is a function of this external equilibrium F the theory of cataclysmic changes you know the theory of revolutionary transformations in the social sciences we have now to consider the final phase of the dialectic method namely the theory of sudden changes no doubt it is a widespread notion that nature makes no sudden jumps this wise seeing is often applied in order to demonstrate if our irrefutably the impossibility of revolution although revolutions have a habit of occurring in spite of a moderation of our friends the professor's now is nature really so moderate inconsiderate as they pretend in his science of logic Hegel says it is said that there are no sudden changes in nature and the common view has it that when we speak of a growth or destruction we always imagined a gradual growth or disappearance yet we have seen cases in which the alteration of existence involves not only a transition from one proportion to another but also a transition by a sudden leap into quantitatively end on the other hand also qualitatively different things an interruption of the gradual process differing qualitatively from the preceding the former state Hegel speaks of transition of quantity into quality there is very simple illustration of such a tradition for such a transition if we should heat water we should find that throughout the process of heating before a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius is reached the water will not boil and turn into steam portions of the water will move faster and faster but they will not bubble on the surface in the form of steam the change thus far is merely quantitative the water moves faster the temperature rises but the water remains water having all the properties of water is quantity is changing having its quality remains the same but when we have heated it to 100 degrees Celsius we have brought it to the boiling point at once it begins to boil at once the particles that have been madly in motion burst apart and leap from the surface in the form of little explosions of steam the water has ceased to be water it becomes steam a gas the former quality is lost we now have a new quality with new properties we have thus learned two important peculiarities in the process of change in the first place having reached a certain stage in motion the quantitative chain changes call forth qualitative changes or in more abbreviated form quantity becomes quality in the second place this transition from quantity to quality is accomplished in a sudden need which constitutes an interruption in the gradual continuous process the water was not constantly changing with gradual deliberateness into a little steam at a time but the quantity of steam constantly increasing for a long time it did not boil at all but having reached the boiling point it began to boil we must consider this a sudden change the transformation of quantity into quality is one of the fundamental laws in the motion of matter it may be traced literally at every step both in nature and society hang a weight at the end of a string and gradually add slight additional weights each being as small as you like up to a certain limit the string will hold but once this limit has been exceeded it was suddenly break for steam into a boiler all will go well for a while only the pressure indicator will show increases in the pressure of the steam against the walls of the boiler but when the dial has exceeded a certain limit the boiler will explode the pressure of the steam exceeded perhaps by a very little the power of resistance offered by the walls of the boiler before this moment the quantitative changes had not led to a cataclysm to a qualitative change but at that point the boiler exploded several men are unable to lift a stone another joins them they are still unable to do it a week old woman joins them and their United strength raises the stone here but a slight additional force was needed and as soon as this force was added the job was done let us take another example Leo Tolstoy wrote a story called three roles in a cookie the point of this story is the following a man to appease his hunger eat one role after another for each still left him hungry in fact after his third role he was still hungry then he eat a little cookie and his hunger was appeased he then cursed his folly for not having eaten the cookie first for then he would not have had to eat the roles of course we are aware of his mistake we are dealing here with a qualitative change the transition from the feeling of hunger to that of situation which transition was accomplished in one bound after eating the cookie but this qualitative difference ensued after the quantitative differences the cookie would have been of no use without the rolls we thus find that it is foolish to deny the existence changes and to omit only a deliberate gradual process sudden leap Tsar often found in nature and the notion that nature permits of no such violent alterations is merely reflection of the fear of such shifts in society ie of the fear of revolution it is a characteristic fact that the earlier theories of the Bush huazi touching the question of the creation of the universe were catastrophic theories though naive and wrong ones such for instance was curriers theory this was displaced by the evolution theory which introduced many new elements but one-sidedly denied cataclysmic changes of such nature are the works of Leo in the field of geology but at the end of the last century there again arose a theory which recognized the import of sudden changes for instance the bonus DeVries the so called mutual Newton Theory maintained that from time to time on the basis of previous changes sudden alterations of form ensue which later fortify themselves and become the starting points of new courses of evolution the older views which were hostile to sudden changes are now no longer sufficient such notions Leibnitz for instance says everything in nature goes step by step never by leaps and bounds evidently arose on a conservative social soil the denial of the contradictory character of evolution by bushwah scholars is based on their fear of the class struggle and on their concealment of social contradictions their fear of sudden changes is based on their fear of revolution all their wisdom is contained in the following reasoning there are no violent changes in nature there cannot be any such violent changes anywhere therefore you proletarians do not dare make a revolution yet here it becomes exceptionally evident that bushwa science is in contradiction with the most fundamental requirements of all science everybody knows that there have been many revolutions in human society will anyone deny that there was an english revolution or a french revolution or a revolution of 1848 or the revolution of 1917 if these violent changes have taken place in society and are still taking place science should not deny them refusing to recognize facts but should understand these sudden shifts and explain them revolutions in society are of the same character as the violent changes in nature they do not suddenly fall from the sky they are prepared by the entire preceding course of development as the boiling of water is prepared by the preceding process of heating or as the explosion of a steam boiler is prepared by the increasing pressure of the steam against its walls a revolution in society means is reconstruction a structural alteration of the system such a revolution is an inevitable consequence of the contradictions between the structure of society and the demands for its development we shall discuss the nature of this process below for the present we need only to know the following in society as in nature violent changes do take place in society as in nature these sudden changes are prepared by the preceding course of things in other words in society as in nature evolution gradual development leads to revolution sudden change the violent changes presuppose a preceding evolution and the gradual changes lead to violent changes these are two necessary factors in a single process the contradictory nature of evolution the question of cataclysmic changes is one of the most essential theoretical questions there are a great number of bourgeois schools and tendencies opposed tell you look teleology and favoured determinism etc they nevertheless stumble on these questions the Marxian theory is not a theory of evolution but of revolution for this very reason it is unacceptable to the ideologists of the bourgeoisie and they are therefore ready to accept the whole theory except it's revolutionary dialectics objections to Marxism usually assume the same form thus werner sombart a german professor treats marx with great respect where where evolution is involved but at one attacks him or but at once attacks him as soon as he scents theoretically the revolutionary elements of Marxism entire theories are even built up showing that marx was a scholar in his evolutionary point of view but ceased to be a scholar when he became even theoretically a revolutionist he then leaves the sphere of science and gives himself up to revolutionary passions peace truth once a Marxian author of the first manifesto of the russian social democracy a man later metamorphosized into a protagonist of pogroms and a prime counter revolutionary ideologist also began by attacking Marxism in its theory of cataclysmic changes Plekhanov then a revolutionist wrote mr. Struve wants to show us that nature makes no sudden leaps and that the intellect reason will not bear such leaps the fact is truth means his own intellect which indeed tolerates no leaps for the simple reason as is said that he cannot bear a certain dictatorship the so called organic school the positivists Spencer Aryans evolutionists etc all oppose cataclysmic changes because they cannot bear a certain dictatorship you	Adrestia's Revolt	UC3ClSqbN5tlXOuFj3eqyAoA	2019-09-15	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	13,505	78,685
87spVhPcXIY	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87spVhPcXIY	dalmoz: DDoS mitigation EPIC FAIL collection	[Music] hi thank you um so as said today we'll learn about dos but not about what dos is because that's something that you all should know about but we actually know Doos from The Defenders side mostly we hear about Theos at at the news at the media or whatever some AP guys did did some datos some viruses some bot Nets but we always hear just one side of the of the border the Defenders now um we'll learn today about Mitigation Of Theos or more specifically how not to mitigate Doos first of all we doesn't work okay excuse me so first of all we we got some intro into dos what is what this all about something boring just one slide about it methodology of work of our method of delivering this kind of service we are actually we've been attacking now for 3 years uh via dos services to our customers that want to test their systems for dis mitigation or correct dis mitigation and guess what not all of them were so correct as we figured out before uh afterwards we talk about some DS in the wild what is exactly going on in the world just some statistics again something boring and then we've come to the 10 most common from the book strategies that we figured that you should hear about at the end we'll stay we'll have some Q&A of course so myself mioni I do security stuff I don't know um I'm managing a team of security researchers at varent we do something cool uh with defense um but except of that mainly I'm experienced with penetration testing and ethical hacking and for as I said from the from 3 years of hard walk about DS we are attacking and providing our customers a a service of the attacks uh that's the end of the Shameless promotion slide I will never you will never hear about it again so everyone gets Doos not in the correct sense of the word because everyone meaning you if you are an attacker you will learn maybe I hope that you will learn one or two tactics that you didn't know before if you are a Defender you'll know what not to do or what is what are the most to 10 top top 10 Common uh strategies not not to do or to avoid from and if you're neither an attacker or Defender you just kick back relax and hear some uh good laughs over someone else so the method uh the method of delivery is somewhat complex because we want to have control over our bat net we have a legitimate bat net of course everything that that I will uh mention here is legitimate and we are doing it as as legit as we can we are we have our own bot net pretty vast botn net all over the world all over the globe and the living this kind of controlled mechanisms for Theos for for customers have some extra edges like we view exactly what is happening we log all the stuff this is pretty hard to do actually when we are talking about bot Nets with thousands of computers that we we want to control each one of them and know what exactly we are missing and on top of that we have something uh something more like a red team and a blue team so the blue team is is incorrectly named Blue but you can see Spock with a blue t-shirt um so the blue team is is on site with the customer and viewing all the logs not for mitigation not for telling him what to do just for taking notes for the red team and the red team is is on the other side of the line attacking the customer with the with the V bot net and together with the two SPX we have a complete image of what exactly is happening on the network or maybe in the computers of the of the customer and through that we can we can have a good recommendation not just a Rec recommendation we know the site we know exactly what happened we can pinpoint it we can we can analyze it we can analyze our own boat net in terms of improvement if you want to improve for the next time so together we have this visualization of the analysis and we can progress with the attack moreover some in the wild Doos use mainly maybe it's it's a shock for most of you but mainly by sense and most of the attacks are less than 2 gigb per second I'm mentioning that just to acknowledge that dos does not have to be so large as the media claims claims it to be of course there are times that Network bandwidth is the main main type of things but if we hear about some dos in the media it doesn't mean that automatically it's dos by Bend with by the network site we'll get to it later other than that we have reflection amplification the this are two words that we hear a lot reflection is the actual Act of um benefiting from a third party um that we want to uh we want to communicate with and the third party is communicating and reflecting the so to say to the actual side that you want to attack amplification is using some kind of asymmetric protocol or Astic Behavior between the attackers and the Defenders or the servers so the servers will have to work much harder in order to accomplish something and that's amplification last most attack that we hear about on the internet and on the media does not require brains you can leave your brain out and then just attack with some some kind of a tool and because of that most of them rely heavily on bandwidth consumption my point is that you don't have to be that lame you can you don't you don't require most of the like 90% of your brain but you need a small fraction of it in order to to designate and and amplify your attack without actually using so much bandwidth as proposed so just just some headlight headlines as I mentioned uh there is more their front end we come to get we come to it at least once in the examples but everyone is thinking of of website that going down by dos by some kind of a log to a bank or maybe the www site for the bank but it's not exactly it if you you can attack the back end then we'll get it other than that you have um you have the the back end work for you the back end is is actually doing something not just presenting a cash page or something so you can actually amplify your attack by the back end keep it stealthy they might be listening the magic of sniffing we all heard heard about it the sock team the sock manager is online and checking your his site all the time he's there with the magic of sniffing and think of of amplification in a general way when I'm St when I'm saying stealthy I mean that use your own tools most of the attacks that you hear about on read or maybe even you even if you have the source code for it you can read the source code and then analyze by yourself what the attack does and attacks are mainly dos attacks are mainly very very simple to comprehend because you need a small fraction in the distribution of the attack in order to complete it so if you know what you're doing you can easily believe me very easily write your own scripts and by that you eliminate 90% of the signatures that are residing on ids's and anti-dos machines so amplification on the general term uh we refer to it as four pillars we have the network attack that the usual suspect we have the CPU which is very limited in some some cases um and and CPU was actually attacked by someone on 28 C3 um which I forgot his name because it's not my native language um but but some very professional guys devis a effective attack over CPU uh presenting a a single get or post request to an HTTP server and then U evaluating the CPU up onto 99% of the system by using hashes so CPU is again a very prominent attack that we choose to attack in the process the other thing that we choose to attack mainly is the memory memory volatile memory uh everyone use everything uses uh volatile memory and we can use it to our advantage uh think of it as everything that is done on the website if you have let let's say a form and a form is undergoing some kind of a multistage you can actually do maybe part of the stages maybe all the stages and in memory residence will be very effective inos and last is the storage itself you have a um some amount of storage a on disk storage and even the iio buffer of the drive that are working very hard to complete the mission okay so last this is a true story at the request of the survivors the names have been changed will never h do shaming to any of our customers you know what comes next out of respect for the dead the rest have been the rest have been left unchanged okay so um Ready Set the actual result is face palm so every one of the of the uh the stories will be presented by a face face palm ratio we'll have a scale of face Palms you'll see [Music] [Applause] it and did I mention at the end in in number one we go 10 to one number one I can promise you that all of you will do an epic face palm that's a promise okay ready number 10 number 10 was common actually it's it's um less common nowadays because everyone knows that mainly everyone Network guys knows that that's rubbish limit the rate of incoming pockets that's something that is ma magic for Network people to say yeah yeah yeah we have a DS like 2 gigb of bandwidth oh no problem we have one meab megabit of of bandwidth so let's use only one megabit of bandwidth to upload that and this way we can't even choke the B the the rest of the 99 megabit per second so of course you are nodding all of you I see the heads uh if you have an incoming packets coming at you H this this doesn't work and that's why uh the customer had a Doos actually and that's why he uh he asked the ISP and the ISP told him please um please rate uh the limiting limit the incoming packets into to your service this that was the ISP talking and so we did and believe he believed that he is sufficiently um uh mitigating the attack if we test him and he requested a test so we delivered um and it was pretty simple to deliver because if you have the knowledge of how the internet walks uh so you have a get request or you have let's say a get request a get request is something pretty uh easy in size like 1 kiloby let's say 1 kilobit or maybe 1 kilobyte let's say and you request a file from the server if the file is sufficiently large you have let's say one megabyte of a file you can go with less by the way you can go with 200 kilobyte it will be an amplification factor of 200 times more think about it so now we can use the minimum amount of data that we we want to upload in terms of and and then get it from the download itself meaning that effectively the servers are choking themselves so the beauty of this this tactic is that will work always not only when someone will try to mitigate you so the mitigation is a of course fail but I'll say that's the consumption by reflection but it's an implied face palm something that you all should know and and say okay that's something stupid to begin with so maybe it shouldn't be on this scale at all so does Tom Jones number nine that's that's a beauty we have a vendors that monitoring the sites all the time or maybe not the vendors itself maybe the sock in this case in this story as I said a true story uh the monitoring was done by a third party that was the only job was to monitor the site now when you monitor anything you you come to after 20 minutes of of an attention your attention drifts away and think think about puppies or about your babies or about your friends or about I don't know what what what you ate for lunch um and then you forget about monitoring because monitoring tends to be something very very um very boring to do so you look at a graph and if everything is okay you leave it as as as this as as it but in this case we didn't leave it as as uh as I presented it we actually we attacked the site and the site was down now when we when the site was down it was a surprise attack meaning that the uh the um the man that request out the test was the was the um uh security officer for this customers for this organization and he didn't let let know of the it and the third party that is doing this kind of test um so when the site was down he sees the site is down you don't have to be an expert to see that and and then it just waited and waited and where it's a more now you'll ask yourself wait a second maybe an email maybe a phone maybe someone will pick up the line and say to Ito say to the stock listen guys we have a problem but no one did why so so because two things it was uh pretty uh pretty quiet no one called it and we'll we'll figure out why in a second no one called it no one got an email about it and the monitoring vendor wasn't aware of anything going on wrong on the network so what what what went wrong exactly so first of all the vendor saw as I said the logging system and the logging system and the logging system was looking a bit like that you have a pick you have something like a bot the the I don't know about the colors but the U most of it are are susceptible as bot Nets and it's uh it's it's in a Rel relaxation somewhere so first of all that's the screenshot that when the um security officer called the vendor and asks say guys do you see the site is everything is okay this say say to him and send him this screenshot that's the actual screenshot from the vendor so everything looks I don't know suspicious but let's say it's relaxed after this peak let's say that way problem is that a they didn't check the site actively they all they needed to do is just click on the on their favorite browser apparently Internet Explorer and then go to the site and if you go to the site you see the site is down you don't have to be an expert or a sock team to see the site is down so they didn't do exactly that now for the for the second question why doesn't the it got any calls or emails because and that's in addition to this epic fail the actual bandwidth that's used for the bank's service this customer service was was used for the HQ traffic inside a corporate so everyone that wanted to serve at the time I I'm talking about hours of of uh of no surfing and no of no email for the corporate sites no one could email and no one can can use the VIP phones on [Applause] [Music] the so that a i fun and this kind of face palm is a b face palm you should know about that that's easy and it's cute right a okay going going to number eight okay so I've mentioned it before backend servers are not important to be protected against OS again a very serious assumption we have to consider it heavily um backend servers are not important a that's back and servers are always important if you think that any servers are not important don't use those those servers it's backup so if so if those servers are not are not needed to be protected against Doos uh so there are somewhere and this notion of of of thinking was coming from the media I guess so everyone is reading about about this kind of let's say for example uh supposedly Bank of America was attacked by dos and and the first thing thing that you hear about is everyone is tweeting about the login site for for this Bank why is not responding so the media is responding accordingly she's right the login site for the site is down oh man but actually what what can happen is is something much more V than that but you didn't you won't know it unless you are sing the stock and know exactly what what went wrong and maybe it is maybe most of the attacks do actually hit the front end but it doesn't mean by that that the back and are not important so in this case we try to map the site we as attackers want to attack the backend because of this notion we want to attack it and want to know what to do how to designate some kind of a backand server so actually that's easy because that's I don't know about easy actually but it's it's very common from pentest to do when when you check a blackbox site you just go to a site and try to assume what is going on under under the covers and see what exactly is happening but you you can't really see because you're not a developer you're just testing the site as a as a hacker or a penetration tester now when you pentest the site you try to figure out where is the database what is going on and that's that's pretty easy if you get a query for somewhere some search supposedly is an SQL nosql server or anything like that maybe a file even but it is a data set you can query it you can you can do some work on it and that's why this notion is pretty bad so the backend servers oh excuse me some problems there maybe someone is ding me no okay so in this case we have um like to guess something and that's a pretty easy guess if you have delays if you have inappropriate delays between searches or between forms you can assume that something is going on in the back end not in the front end the front end doesn't think hard about something that's the whole point so if the site is thinking hard about something that's the back end so you hit gold and you profit from it when you do DOS and this face palm is a kitten because you have to be a kitten to do that that's so 90s of you okay number seven uh we had um actually a pretty good customer in terms of relationships and he really respected our walk that we did with one of ouros and then he he called us again but this time he bought a shiny new box and this shiny new box cost a Fortune of course but any any box does and when you buy a very very pricey box you may be connected to all of your servers we said before that the backend servers are as as important as the front end so protect all the domains connect all your sites to it connect all your corporate machines your I don't know maybe your bank I don't know everything that that he could figure out he connected to this box now you can say to yourself so what's the problem so we get some extra stuff or not what is really getting is protection from dos against all of those domains and when we did it when we did the actual test we tried to figure out what is the boxes supposed to do now wiing off some broes of this new box that we didn't know before um it's pretty nameless to be to be honest um so the mitigation is pretty um pretty unique they have like this strategy of uh of the the strategy of it is like thinking about what is going on the box is just sitting there for 20 seconds when it IT suspects something and after 20 seconds after we we suppose it's building some kind of a model for the attack and then it it tries automatically to figure out how to deflect the attack this this mechanism is usually preceded by something called draining of the lines when you have all the lines Lin that are susceptible you just drain all the lines you just drop it all and then wait for new lines and then by the model that you built um the Box can decide what is going what is going in and what is not going in so when we tried to attack we were we were very scary because uh always before the attack before attacking the site we in we gather information about something we try to assess what exactly is happening and and mostly the customer does not need to respond to anything we do it non in ly and try to figure out the technological benefits and technological C trips that we want to overcome so in this case we just read the brochures and try to figure out some strategic ways that the the uh Defenders could do and try to circumvented so we didn't have something really good let's say to to be honest when we start the attack but exactly 20 seconds 21 seconds later all the site went down from all over the the world not only that six minutes later the guys from the blue team gets a call listen guys you have to stop the attack right now someone is very angry why what is happening you knew that this test is going on we we just we just shut it off it's okay we we take about 2 minutes to shut off an attack and start it if we want to so 2 minutes let's let's let's uh wait a bit it took about 1 and a half minutes and then the attack attack was gone but none of the service was responsive so so apparently they were very very stressed about it I guess not only that you you thought that's the end of line not only that is that not only the domains that we we thought uh that we are attacking was down all the corporate network was down of course because all domain was was covered by the box and because of the behavior and of of this kind of shutdown the complete shutdown of most of the computers that they involved with the internet traffic some back very back end let's say second tier back end of the corporate side was trying to communicate to something very crucial to them without without explaining exactly what but let's say some something went very wrong on the corporate side and they lost um some some Hefty money about it when they were drilling with with transactions so that that was pretty embarrassing and you can figure out exactly what happened when the box was seeing all of it by the way I didn't mention monitoring the monitoring itself was shut down because it was connected to the box so everything went dark in a second and everyone was stressed the phones were weren't voice over IP so they they were psdn or I know dials and then they dialed each other and said okay guys let's stop it and we stopped and and then I think it it took like s hours of of actual mitigation actual try to um bring back the servers to a normal operation this face palm is like that okay number six that's a good one I love it it happens all the time by the way it's not it's it's pretty common to encounter nowadays when you have many vendors that provide some kind of a cloud-based Tas mitigation uh we don't trust the vendor that's what they are saying all the time we don't give them certificates uh shamely that's what happens when when you rely on third part is that you don't really know it's not nothing like the big five I don't know providers that provide some kind of a box of or maybe a cloud-based mitigation but you go with something maybe a startup maybe something in uh in its youth when you want to support them and maybe it gives gives you for for free doesn't matter why but it gives you some kind of a another layer of security when talking about dos so this kind of defense is is pretty awesome for us because if we know that this kind of operation is going on or we can assume because of the nature of the relationship with with the vendor we can say okay so htps is not covered so we go htps and we when we go htps it it it becomes even even better because um THC the hackers Choice did a terrific research on renegotiation for SSL and renegotiation SSL was proved by them to be so effective like 15 times more for the CPU of the server uh harder the hard than your own walk when you uh when you try to push your your CPU to the most and it can be actually pretty pretty simple to employ with only two computers uh but if if we're talking about a very large Bank you two two computers will not be enough you need like a 100 so if re negotiation is is present we'll talk we'll talk we attack with renegotiation and it will be done it's pretty hard to counter this kind of thing unless you have H CPS and you know what exactly is is going on on the line and you can read it and the second thing that not only the vendor can protect you you can't see anything because you are not actually processing the data now you can say and you'll be right that you don't want to anyone else to see your data right but the thing is my point is if you are not trusting a security vendor don't work with him that's it that's a pretty simple advice and that's double faceb the the first one is the walking with a security vendor that uh you don't trust the second one um is the visibility that you don't give yourself if htps is not actually terminated by anyone okay when Big Data collect it wasn't POS just drank some water so we need big data that's a big word I don't know if you heard about it before but big data is going to be a trend I tell you so we need big data let's collect it all like Pokémons we have big data we have this we have this network device we have this network device and and we want to collect it all so that's great for you but when you collect it all you have one big problem that's storage space and and let's be honest some protocols like PCI tells you to save all the data that's something that you have to do so maybe it's not it's not only that you are wrong with your assumption of just collect the data don't do anything with it just collect it responsively and when it what doesn't happen responsively you have logs and and overcoming uh some storage boom and Silo needed you result in a complete lockdown you don't have to do you you can do anything on the servers it's very hard to operate without let's say 4K for minimum if you need something from the from the disc and maybe the iio itself is breaking down but the most susceptible to those attacks are not servers themselves because servers can be cycled through their logs and and most of the network guys knows how to do that and infrastructure guys but something that is overlooked many times is the networks Network switches and IDs IPS firewall as well and maybe the anti-dos mitigation machine that you have or maybe the VPN and in this case that I want to mention it was the IPS the IPS I I'll leave the vendor of course alone but the IPS wasn't cycling through its logs and the it it overcome it uh it got a storage boom and then it just disconnected the whole site uh so even when they wanted to mitigate the attack they couldn't because the IPS was down and because the IPS was down no network could can be reached to the site itself and they couldn't connect to the IPS because there was no storage room on the IPS so they couldn't fix the problem and they needed to get to uh some bunker and press the button I think the correct button and that's a face palm that is done by a third party number four we are under attack enforce the on demand scrubbing service first of all there's no such thing I don't know if you heard about it but on demand scrubbing service scrubbing service is something that need to learn about your traffic you need to know is what exactly to scrub unless you want to teach them and that's pretty much impossible if you're talking about a dynamically changing site but let's leave it let's say there is such a thing like on demand scrubbing service in this case we have learning mode learning mode is something very very beautiful that lets you just switch switch off this kind of responsibility or this kind of mitigation and just TW switch it on when the when you want the mitigation to be actually occurring now in this case we had it was an an Australian um it was an Australian customer and it's not his fault and he used some kind of a on demand scribing service so such to say and the attack was a legitimate traffic if you actually know how the how legitimate traffic looks like you can mimic it pretty easily if you use your own tools with other more robust tools you can do that um in a in a good way and last you have to read the manual please do and they read the manual and and discovered that the manual itself of the vendor said that's no no problem we can learn on demand I don't I I don't really famili I'm not familiar with with this notion but let's say it's possible and we'll live it for for a minute from now the vendor response was epic now the story went like this we had a the the site of the customer we actually attacked it and then it was pretty okay uh they we tried to uh to make um a wrap up a ramp up of the attack so we can analyze what exactly is going on so so we wrapped up and wrapped up and WRA up and then we we when we reached some kind of a limit we said okay it looks fine do do you want us to continue with the ramp up and he said no I want to test the on SC ond demand scribing service and in the second that he switched on the on the on demand scribing service all was sh all was shut and nothing can be accessed and it was pretty impressive because not only that he does like that he didn't have any kind of control over it he can't switch it off he can he can maybe try to DNS DNS it and he tried to call the vendor now now usually with do it overnight because we want we don't want to hurt customers that are actually using this site true this is harmful to us because we want to actually mimic a true uh uh not off Peck but but on Peck Towers when we want to actually attack via during Christmas times let's say um but in this case of course it was a large customer that they didn't want to actually H the customers so that's negligible so he picked up the phone and called the vendor the vendor is a 24/7 hour someone that is is picking up the phon someone picked up the phone and and looks and and heard about he he he was going on like someone that actually woke up from his sleep we met we imagined that he were pajamas but we didn't have any kind of communication with him except voice so he said to the vendor listen I have I I have to have your help my sight is down we are 6 hours to uh to uh uh to actually the morning we we six hours from morning and when the morning comes the customer will try to to exess the site and no one can currently no one can but it's uh again it's it's controlled so the vendor said wait a second I have to consult with someone he consult with with someone and half half an hour passed and then he called back to him and said okay okay we'll we'll try to figure it out another hour and then the on scribing service was down H but the epicness about this is the the complete answer of the vendor the vendor said when when they were asked why didn't you uh actually told us that we want we we need to calibrate the uh the I don't know the scribing service that that was the uh the thing that he said he said another thing next time buy our service of calibrating your site that's a good vendor and that's a triple faceball why triple because failing at protection walking with a ventor and the pool ventor's answer we are approaching number one number three so what CDN is not Dynamic let's enable it CDN is the distribution network is pretty popular nowadays in protecting um against doos and that's pretty cool because it actually works if you have a spread out a CDN you can actually mitigate network-based maybe even other other based uh attacks to your system that's cool right but CDN as a cult trip it's called static and dynamic and it's in usually marketing but most of the CDN are are static static means that it can pull off uh some requests for your site from static data not something like searchable queries and stuff and then you can you can cach those data those data this data on the CDN and Via that other customers can benefit from the uh no lag at all from the CDN now when a CDN tells you that it's no not Dynamic which is good which you should know about and you use your site which is dynamic on this CDN it can be very very devastating now why um because the thing is that it works like that if you have a CDN and a CDN is a is getting a request from an attacker or or just um just a regular user it asks for some kind of a landing page let's say if the landing page is on is is was visited by someone elsewhere in the vicinity of the CDN it will know how to respond and then respond from its own cash if it's not was if it wasn't asked by someone at at at a given time it will ask by itself IT issues a request for the origin the origin is the actual domain that no one should access except the CDN it will ask the origin about this request get it back and then get back get back to the to the customer to the user and attacker will do the same attacker does not know we'll get to it in a second does not know where the origin is and how to ask it directly need to ask the CDN about something and the DNS that the DNS request that he's issuing is giving him the the closer CDN that he can need to think about when he's talking about the site so in this case we have an origin um that is uh getting so many requests so that's wrong if you're using Dynamic the the thing is that Dynamic is pretty easy to Dos because if it's not Dynamic CDN meaning that it will need to issue each and every one of the request if it's a different parameter or value for those for those parameters it will need to issue each and every one of that all we need to do is just requesting from the CDN data with parameters that they didn't know the same page other parameters sometimes even parameters that doesn't exist on the site but it doesn't matter he will issue a command and issue a request for the site because it doesn't know the correct URL for that and it doesn't have it on Cache so one of our customers did exactly that use a CDN static CDN on a dynamic site and we easily dust uh dust his machine another thing about CDN which is not exclusively for dynamic but for Dynamics is much more devastating is that if you monitor your origin um many of the CDN doesn't give you actual uis for monitoring like traffic like ditos you have your own machine and you monitor that as as good as you can and maybe some some kind of tools that you get from the vendor of the CDN and actually when you try to mitigate it on your sites you actually many times can't because you can't see the actual attacker and you can't Blacklist the attacker or something you just see requests from the CDN and if you block the CDN itself that's good for us okay and that deserve a distributed collage of face [Applause] [Music] palm number two again CDN CDN is is pretty exciting for me because uh no one knows how to protect with CDN and when someone searches the web in this case some obscure site named Google uh we use it for finding how to protect protect CDN origin that's the best phrasing that we can we could work out and the the first one after the um aamis one which is a advertisement uh you have the how to protect your cdan origin server let's click on that what do you say okay we clicked on that that's magic and then we have several uh recommendations how to mitigate and how to protect your CDN your cn's origin and I just magnify it for you this is a simple trick and it is also the best solution create some random long set of alphabetic characters and use that as a subdomain even more so can it be guessed yes but highly unlikely can it be leaked yes but again highly unlikely there was much rejoicing reading those lines why so let's talk about it so the tactic is like that find other subdomains transl translated to IPS scan the hell of out of it a c/ 2466 good good chances there but it's not bulletproof you can you can actually miss a lot of of those Origins uh from the actual name but something that is much more probable to find out is the who is service who is Service never forgets means it is forgetting because who is his Dynamic but you have who is history is online and you can check who is history uh history domains and then when you check it you figure out and we figure out in this case that the if you want to some some of our customers actually bought this kind of service and try to protect against it and we figure out how we can know what is the origin we want to to attack the origin everything is static is pretty how to uh to attack static sites uh unless we have a subdomain or unless we have another origin that we know that will will be hurt by by our attack and we can't just attack some some obscure subdomain we need to know what we are attacking to some extent of course U because of the back end um that doesn't really determinist isn't really deterministic all the time so who is never forget so we look online in this case I'm just giving an example for a malicious infected site named big.com and and this site is is covered with a who is history that you can pull off from view DNS in this case but there are many other services for who is history and then we actually thought about it when you buy a CDN you don't actually change the the last IP of your site you're just giving it out to the uh actual CDN provider and then if you look up the who is history the last one or maybe one one before that you actually hit jackpot because this is the the IP of the origin and that's exactly what we did and that's exactly what happened when the site went down and the customer said to us that he doesn't doesn't see anything on the CDN that's a wrong number one okay um um that's something personal because in this case the again the the actual the actual person that bought the service from us was the security officer of the organization a big organization in Israel in this case and this big organization uh was very let's say politically heavy so the it was very uh vicious in their attempts to block the attack so as I said during this week of research before the attack which is non intrusive we try to figure out how the mitigation works from low low impact attacks and stuff without actually impacting anything uh we tried to figure out what is going on and we saw that the mitigation that they they they invented was amazing like we have one server and we are attacking from this server and that's and and from this on The Blacklist is not following just on the on our servers but all of our servers worldwide or just a branch of our servers in some place in for in this in this example in in the United States and we try to figure out why why is that if you attacking from One Source how come you can mitigate all the sources from this area and the and the the the uh susceptible answer and in this case the correct answer was that the mitigation worked like that if you see an IP if the seam Rises up an alert and then an IP is raised then he doesn't block only the IP remember he wants to block us not in real and he knows that we are limited with our with our resources because because as I said we are legitimate as possible so when he tried to mitigate us he said to himself okay you have some butet that he leased or bought somewhere and that this will be some kind of a clust of ips which was correct in this case most of our servers do like that so he didn't just block us he blocked the whole sl16 site [Applause] I'm hoping that you are not cheering for him because so in for example in Germany we you have like 116 million IPS in Israel it's much much smaller but you can extrapolate so if you have 116 million IPS you have about roughly of course 100,00 8 18800 uh Class B ranges right so if we have only 1, 18800 IPS that we need to hit and we can let's say spoof their sin we can actually block all of the customers Nation if the nation is the probable customer in this case insurance is probable to to come from customers from this nation and in this case Israel as I said is very small and so we trolled him a bit so [Applause] for so think of a monkey just diping eyp like crazy and then it just blocks all the nation by itself and he can't do anything about it because 15 minutes after after the uh the actual attack have started it's inflicted by all the nation and before the 15 minutes were off like like half the time of that he blocked himself so he couldn't see [Applause] the and now you can see why it's my favorite now remember what what I told you about the mega face pal that you will give me remember so that's the one but I don't see you face pal so I brought my own [Applause] picture and actually I think it's kind of a tradition so if you may uh face B yourself for a second that's okay right right let's say it's okay thanks [Applause] okay so collect his thoughts about it um maybe the most important one is test don't be don't be afraid to test many of our customers didn't know that such service is is is in existence and we are not the only one that providing this kind of service um we know so there is no magic peel you have to be an arch to understand that it it implies not only the front end it implies all your network all your computers maybe even more than that maybe your phones and emails um but but test it and and you have all the money in the world all the toys if you just deploy it and without thinking it will fail you so please be responsible about it and one last promise if you want do that you can be evaluated to this presentation in the [Applause] future thank you we now have about 10 minutes for Q&A so as always please line up at the microphones or use the internet to ask on ISC or Twitter we have a person reading out your questions here and if you leave as always please be very very quiet cuz the talk is not over it's going to go on for 10 more minutes so please be very quiet microphone no no you're not queing he not queuing any questions okay the internet you need to switch on the microphone should I ask my ISP before I dos or not oh that's so if if there if anti-ds is included in the um so that's partly a a legal question and partly a t tactical question let's say for your sake of evaluating your security uh I I won't touch the legal sections because I'm not a lawyer um and if for the legal section you have to consult your Law Department if you have so if you have such a department department for the other part uh it's it depends on what is your focus on the testing if you if you are focusing on testing the system as a whole if you are looking at the all mitig all the mitigation factors that you put into place in my opinion it's important not to notify the ISP if possible but if it's not possible of course notified microphone number three please hey um so there are techniques that for example Cloud flare has this project called rail gun where they diff the websites and sort of not request the full website or I don't know really how they do it but does this have any impact can you see this when you do us does this help at all or is this just yeah okay pointless um usually we test with blackbox it means like pen testing we don't really know what exactly is happening on the other side except what what the blue team is being fed or or seeing by the customer uh such examples as Cloud Flur and others are examples of um of partly participating factors into the attacks and the testing because they they didn't provide us with much of the explanation that we want to actually I'm not talking about not talking about Cloud Flur because actually when when I think of it we've never tested something with with Cloud Flur in mind not not the I know of it was in the factor actually uh and let's say other vendors similar to Cloud Flur has approached us and and and usually uh put up some difficulties I'm not talking about technical difficulties more political difficulties let let me know when you are doing it the legal stuff is not correct you can't do it and you have only 10 minutes of time and something like that so something like rail gun and similar uh is not employed by having haven't been employed in our testing yet hope it um it answered your question microphone number two please how often do you find your customers well protected when you get there the first time um let let let me put it that way uh we are we when we conducted tests uh it is important to say that I'm not I'm not continuing this test anymore like two months from now I'm I'm off um when we conducted these tests um we actually did um we took a a length span 4 to 6 hours from the customer and through these four to six hours we actually provided uh usually one one attack per hour we we tested some some kind of attack that we have in stash that we PR actually prepared before according to our research and if evaluating by overnight if we have whatever number of attacks that we have overnight like a real attacker will do but on a on a very lengthy lengthy span uh we have more than 95% of success uh so most of the attacks unfortunately are not well protected that that answer the question yes okay and now the internet please you said you just scanned the whole sl24 sl16 even would IPv6 make it better think of a whole sl56 and random IPS that's quite something to scan yeah um this is good this is great but I I am I'm not familiar with any bank that is working with us or any bank at all that is moving to IPv6 as a whole just using the ipv4 and the IPv6 in top on top of that number three please so given that a lot of things are on shared infrastructure with Amazon and Cloud flare and stuff like that how do you make sure that whatever you're dsing doesn't cause any collateral damage with people who are just innocent bystanders uh it does it does but and and it's it's probably if you're referring to to to not not customers of the ACT you're you're referring to to actually customers or clients of the customer um so yeah give it like someone on Amazon you're dsing like them for something and like on Amazon goes down okay so shared infrastructure as a whole is a whole different ball game we have to consult legal and the SLA with Amazon and Azure and and others are are pretty different from one another Azure let you do stuff if you let let them know in advance Amazon as far as I as I know of doesn't let you do anything it's pretty strict uh in terms of testing uh think about it it's pretty massive not to test your own site but again it's it's considerable when when you're thinking about the shared infrastructure when you have Amazon or AWS or others uh so it depends on the uh on the host and what what are the slas with them number one please so thank you for the nice talk but can we change the roles so I would uh like to uh to hear you a bit elaborating about what you would do if you have to run Mission critical infrastructure and how you would protected um I'm not a genius so so for for starters I I I want presume that everything that I will say will be holy uh it will be holy in another ter but I know that everything I will do I will try to architect not just design a mitigation architect and mitigation a redundancy as much as others know nowadays how to back up and how to hop swap something it's it's pretty much the same when you're talking about redundancy and things that need to be standing by and how much lag time that you can you have because Theos can occur it doesn't it isn't there is no magic pill as I said nothing that I will provide you with an with a complete architecture will not be fail safe but it will be epic fail safe and and and on top of that test your systems anytime you want you can be the greatest developer you will actually pent test your we applications right so that's the same thing if you architect something test it put you to test okay thank you you're welcome and once again the internet please are there any particular Solutions or products recommended or that are particularly bad no number four um hi uh so first of all the the photo was not really appreciated I mean we're not here for your amusement or uh and I think it's it's a kind of bad norm and now moving on to the question have you given any thoughts to attacks that saturated link without sending any packets to uh the target uh first of all how to like legally do that and if you've ever had to do it or it was never necessary because the side fell down for other reasons let me put it again if if I if I understood correctly your question is how can you actually do some damage without H going on to the on on and on with the traffic uh yeah so you can be sending uh traffic to uh sites IPS actually that s a link with your target so that your target does not observe any traffic and so that you do not actually uh D any of them but uh so I mean they do not get tons of traffic uh individually but the whole link that they say will be saturated what's would be nice to have because then you could see how uh your path actually how resilient your path is to do attacks I mean it's been described in Academia but I don't know if you use it in practice okay uh we didn't we didn't do something like that before uh personally I I it's hard to think about something that we we can deliver such an attack with without anything unless we have an exploit for that like like like I said in 2863 there was an exploit exploiting many we application servers through the their hashing mechanism but unless we have an exploited a designated exploit and we talked about generalized stuff not exploits per Weare application service I don't think that's possible but maybe it is in some in some situations when you have a database that is working very hard on crunching something and you can do pretty much the same which is the equivalent of exploit as an exploit as I see it uh not exactly so you're sending traffic to IPS that are not related to your target except that they're being hosted in the same data center say so that you saturate the link but your target doesn't see any traffic Oh Oh you mean so excuse me you mean that I'm I'm attacking another subdomain and through that is is impacting the actual one that I want well another IP yeah it doesn't have to be related at all to your target yeah it that happened a lot and that happened a lot when we uh when we got confirmation from the from the uh customer of course to attack other domains just for a sec to test if the infrastructure is shared for any means you have to have some kind of a shared infrastructure of course maybe the same host maybe maybe it's networking on some sides and the one example that I said about the shiny box it was in the UK uh that that's exactly exactly what what happened on the tier 2 back end the tier 2 was attacked it wasn't our Target but it was attacked so it is possible through other subdomains by uh by definition in that and unfortunately we are out of time so please once again thank [Applause] [Music] dmos	media.ccc.de	UC2TXq_t06Hjdr2g_KdKpHQg	2016-01-03	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

Today's market environment dictates the need for risk controls in financial energy derivative trading. They've probably never been as important as they have been now. There's a history of huge losses. You have those early case studies that hopefully, you read before viewing this mini-lecture. There was the huge Enron debacle, and some of these things are still occurring today. As recently as last month, we found out that JP Morgan in fact, had made huge losses in credit default swaps. Again, because of improper oversights over some of their traders. There's also extreme volatility in energy commodity prices. The fickle and teetering global economy impacts the price of crude oil every single day. The geopolitical climate with unrest in the Middle East, you have some revolution in places like Nigeria, these all impact the price of crude as well. In addition, there's a credit crunch. After the huge financial collapse of 2008, there is certainly a risk of losses due to counter parties collapsing. Also, increased margin requirements. In lesson seven, we talked about the margin requirements associated with each energy commodity in order to trade. This speaks to huge cash flow issues, if you're going to trade in those. Weather patterns La Nina, El Nino, global warming, and even unpredictable hurricane seasons, each one of these can have an impact on energy prices, adding to the overall validity of energy financial commodity derivatives. Various financial risks that are out there. We have market risk, that is price risk. Operational risk, can we and or our counterparts perform under the contracts? There is a liquidity risk these days. Are there going to be enough counter parties out there that are financially sound and are willing to make market for us when we want to go into the market? Also, the prospect of exchange interruptions, a black out in a major city could, in fact, shut down some exchanges. The New Marketile Exchange, itself, was shut down for two or three days after 9/11. And then, of course, part of the financial risks these days is the speed at which these transactions occur. We have electronic trading. We have virtually 24-hour-day, 365 days a year trading going on globally. We have the International Petroleum Exchange in London, International Continental Exchange in Atlanta, Georgia, the NYMEX, GLOBEX, which is owned by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and then Clearport, which is a NYMEX electronic, over the counter trading platform. When you hit that buy or sell button the transaction occurs at the speed of light and there's no taking it back. Other risks that most companies face, legal risks. We have standardized contracts to hopefully mitigate that, the ISDA, the NAESB and, of course, force majeure clauses, essentially lists a host of reasons why one of the two counterparties to the contract may not be able to perform and can be excused. Such things as acts of God and strikes and failure of equipment and so on. Credit is a big risk in the post-2008 economic collapse. Everyone is concerned about the credit of their counter parties, the counterparty liquidity, the number of parties that you can actually trade with, and then, the solvency of the counterparties with whom you enter into financial derivative contract arrangements. Risk control. Some of the main topics... Why controls? You've already studied the case studies in the financial markets, which led to the development of a system of risk controls, which were later mandated in the energy industry. We'll talk about some specific risk measures, energy commodity trading and why risk measures are necessary there; the types of controls that need to be implemented and then finally, some recommendations. If you were to do a risk analysis for a company and turn around and hand them a consultancy report, these would be some of the things that you would look for and then recommend. You've already covered these three case studies in detail. The Metallgesellschaft with their $1.5 billion loss in trading forward oil contracts. The Orange County investment pool, a loss of $1.64 billion in bond and interest rate trading. Bearings Bank, an estimated $1.3 to $1.5 billion loss where Nick Lesson was trading stock index futures. And then Aramanth, in September, 2006, here in the United States, who lost $6 billion in trading NYMEX futures. Some common issues and I hope that you found these through each of those case studies, that there was a general theme or themes running through there. You had single or multiple rogue traders, that is they traded positions that they believe we're good points to trade. They were involved in risky derivatives, not just the underlying, but things like options and straddles and collars and other exotic types of financial derivatives. There was little or no accountability. Again, as you recall in the case of Nick Leeson, he actually controlled the accounting, the settlement, and trading functions. They also had, in most cases, total control of the paper trail. In the Orange County investment pool, as well as with Bearings Bank, there were hidden accounts, but the traders themselves were controlling the paper trail when others came in to audit. And then a lack of understanding and recognition by the executives of financial derivative trading and the risks of involvement. Even today, a lot of executives are not aware of the types of positions that their trading groups have put on or aware of what that exposes the company to from a financial perspective. Some of the more common risk measures that usually are implemented, mark-to-market. Mark-to-market is the value of a portfolio at the close of the day based on settlement prices. So let's say, for instance, you have some stock in an E-trade account. Until you do something with that stock, until you sell it, you're not really making any money. But every day the closing price on that stock can be marked against the price at which you purchased that stock, and you will have either an unrealized gain or unrealized loss on your portfolio. That is what's known as mark-to-market. Value at risk is a complicated theoretical maximum loss on a total financial trading book. It's usually calculated for a given period of time, let's say, three to five day period, a certain confidence level. This is statistically speaking. You may want a 95% to maybe as much as a 98% conference level, a defined holding period, and then expected market conditions. The expected market conditions are variations in price that could occur in the marketplace. It is expressed as a single value. For instance, a VaR on a book could be something like $10 million loss at 98% confidence level with a holding period of three days. The prices within the system. Value at risk is calculated using software systems that have huge algorithms. It will be based on historical energy commodity futures prices, as well as it will generate its own through a Monte Carlo simulation module. That will generate thousands of iterations of different types of prices as it's a random number generator. So the mark-to-market calculation takes place and then the rest of the algorithms calculate the VaR. A couple more risk measures: profit and loss. That's the daily profit or loss on the mark-to-market changes. So it's the daily change in the unrealized gain or loss after the portfolio is marked-to-market. The volumetric positions. The total of all derivative contracts in the book, including the options delta effect. I touched briefly on the idea of delta in the lecture on options. Delta represents the potential contract exposure that the writer of the option has. If the buyer of the option should choose to exercise those options, then the seller of the option is either going to have to go out and sell contracts or buy contracts to cover that position. And as time moves forward, their exposure to that changes daily, that's the delta effect. So when we're talking about the volumetric position of a financial trading book, we're talking about all contracts. The actual underlying financial derivative contracts as well as the implied number of contracts that the book is exposed to for options sales. In April 1990, the introduction of the NYMEX natural gas futures contract added to the contract totals for crude oil they were already trading. It did provide price transparency and market liquidity. It allowed commercial participants to hedge their price risk. It also provided a whole new host of financial derivative trading for speculative traders. So now you had a new proliferation of financial derivatives. You had options, puts/calls, various exotic options. We talked about the types of swaps. You have the Henry Hub look-a-like, you have basis swaps, and you have swing swaps. So the number of financial derivatives exploded with the advent of the natural gas contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The Securities Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission mandated that publicly traded energy companies had to implement risk controls for fiscal year 2001. And one of the thoughts there was that they needed to calculate the mark-to-market on their book and report it as earnings. Obviously, to the federal government that meant higher corporate taxes, but what they didn't realize was that if mark-to-market was going to be viewed as earnings then companies could find ways to create and falsify their mark-to-market. This basically gave Enron a license to steal. They created various fictitious off-balance sheet companies where mark-to-market earnings were generated. And the more earnings that they showed then the higher the share price and so on. So traders would now have a large stake in the mark-to-market value of their book. So they themselves would begin to set the forward curves. That is they would begin to go ahead and set the future prices themselves. So this resulted in the manipulation of the mark-to-market. They also set cash market indexes, which was blatant market manipulation in the publications that we talked about in cash pricing. And they would roll their positions, their financial positions, forward and backwards to increase their mark-to-market value when it was convenient for them to do so. In the post-Enron era, the top five natural gas marketing companies in the United States were gone within a year. Wall Street became very leery of energy trading companies and you'll see that after that point in time a lot of companies became energy services companies and no longer energy trading companies. Wall Street wants the book size analyzed and mark-to-market. They don't put much value in value at risk, if you'll excuse the pun there. Companies started to adopt FAS133 hedge accounting, which shrunk the spec book because hedge accounting allows you to take a financial derivative that's truly a hedge and basically, those two balance each other out in terms of your open positions. The remaining positions in your book are speculative. And then, of course, Sarbanes-Oxley was adopted, which created a massive amount of reporting for companies who are publicly traded and dealing in financial energy derivatives. So if you were to evaluate a company, these would be some of the recommendations I think that you should make. First and foremost, executive training. Executives have got to understand the nature of financial derivatives, the exposures, what's going on in their trading shop, so if need be, they can pull the reigns in on their traders. Risk policies and procedures need to be developed. Within that you should state the purpose of the hedging activity. It should list the risk measures and limits on each risk measure. There needs to be formal oversight in the form of a risk control desk. The positions and responsibilities of the risk control desk personnel need to be delineated. There needs to be some type of risk oversight committee comprised of executives, generally, the top executives in the company. There needs to be a trading policy with violation penalties for individual traders. The specific procedures need to be outlined as well. It's highly recommended that they would adopt FAS133 hedge accounting, which would shrink their speculative positions. Both internal and external auditors need to be educated. They need to understand financial energy derivative trading and its risks so they can make proper audits. And then, of course, the federal government mandates the Sarbanes-Oxley requirements be adopted and the corresponding reporting be timely produced.

u4qnijc4CvU	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4qnijc4CvU	The Fall Of Howard Stern, The New Abortion Wars, Afghanistan, Australia's Covid Lockdown (9-23-21)	[Music] good evening everyone i'm joseph condo and let me tell you about an epic story of victory defeat friendship betrayal heroism cowardice deep respect blind hatred and above all else the struggle for survival it is my new book runaway masters a true story of slavery freedom triumph and tragedy beyond 16 19 and 1776 check it out on amazon by following the link below the paperback is 9.99 us while the kindle version is 4.99 also u.s if you are a kindle unlimited subscriber you will be able to read it for free i hope that you enjoy the book joining me tonight is luke ford luke how's it going good joseph how are you sir doing well thank you uh tell you it's interesting i mean there's a lot of stuff to go over uh hopefully a few different topics we'll be addressing tonight but obviously uh if you have a reasonable and responsible question or comment for luke or myself please do leave it via stream labs i will be throwing the link into the live chat uh imminently so get your stuff in as soon as possible thank you very much in advance uh luke you know one of the things we'll be discussing is the uh the fall of howard stern which is quite interesting because it has uh some socio-political ramifications it's not just the story of one guy but howard stern is someone i'm sure everybody knows who he is but in case anybody's watching that doesn't he is the the most prominent american radio personality of the uh late 80s and the 90s and the early to mid 2000s he's a shock jock you could you could say but he's someone who dealt with many different social and political issues on his show in a very irreverent fashion and he often liked to in a manner of speaking speak truth to power and to point out hypocrisy and his politics was sort of all over the place which made his commentaries uh especially interesting so you really never quite knew what you were going to get with him you often you know do these over-the-top theatrical things to keep people interested uh obviously it was entertaining but he did not just informative but he is someone who absolutely had a huge influence on american popular culture there's even a movie made about his life it did very well the film was called private parts but its title well in keeping with uh stern's persona but then in the really the early 2010s in my opinion stern became more pc uh he became more politically aligned with the left uh and now he's someone who basically uh critiques the rights and he's the sort of person that he would have you know lambasted in his previous iteration at least would have lambasted as a matter of fact his most recent book he encouraged people to burn his previous two books because he had changed so much since then and stern has uh achieved he's he's fallen off you know the face of the earth and in one respect with his radio show's popularity it went from traditional radio to satellite radio and it occurred a huge ratings drop then and just certainly that drop continues uh but now he's basically well known to the extent he is well-known for picking fights with people who are more in the spotlight than he is such as wendy williams uh uh joe rogan and donald trump uh and it's quite interesting to see how uh with stern's you know uh personality shift so to speak he's become less popular and he has resorted to basically clout chasing as it's called uh i mean it's interesting to see how his politics apparently have changed it's interesting to see how his public persona has changed now he's much more mellow he's much more of a suck up to the uh hollywood entertainment media whatever you want to call it establishment and he's basically like i said become the sort of person his previous iteration would have uh would have found absolutely appalling uh luke any thoughts on any of this yeah well i i've never been a big howard stern fan or listener not not because i have any necessarily any animus it's just that there's only so much time in life and so i just i just never saw the bang for the buck i think i probably listened to two hours total of howard stern live and then i've listened to a few more hours than that of his highlights and so some of his highlights are very funny there was just never enough value for me i have uh read his books or at least sections of them and it just seems to me that howard stern probably has become a better person he does you know he's probably more nicer he's probably more social but making you a better person doesn't necessarily make you a more compelling personality on the radio so just as with professional athletes usually when they find jesus that that marks the downward trajectory of their career so to howard stern discovering his humanity through years and years of psychotherapy that that may have taken the edge off and so i think about my younger self i started vlogging at age 30 and so i was often rough and tough and mean and rambunctious and confrontational in ways that i would not do so today but that made me a more compelling personality than than i am today today i'm a little more light laid back i have a little bit more empathy for other people but empathy for other people doesn't always necessarily produce the best entertainment or the best uh the best radio shows or tv shows so i think he has mello the guy is 67 years of age and so he was he was at the top of his field until his divorce after his divorce hardly anyone seemed to speak about him anymore and then once he went to satellite radio around 2006 he completely dropped off the radar so i'd never hear it's been more than a decade since i've heard anyone say hey did you listen to howard stern today so i see he's get much more respectful treatment in the new york times but i'd never hear anyone in real life just like with the daily show once john stewart left i don't know anyone in my life or anyone who i follow on twitter who says oh did you see the daily show it's it seems to have completely dropped off the map so the nasty edge that also led him to do a lot of ugly things and also a lot of good things because what made him so compelling for i think many people in the distant right is that he was not pc that he was willing to go against sacred cows he was willing to say things that were relatable to the average person and so he was not willing to let go of the o.j simpson being obviously guilty of a double murder he was not willing to let go of all sorts of uh polite pieties that were pushed in in politics and in mainstream culture but now he's rich he's successful he it seems to be more important to him to hang out with people who are similarly rich and successful he doesn't want to rock the boat he's only working three days a week and it doesn't sound like anything he's doing anymore has any resonance in wider culture no one talks about it on anyone that i follow nobody's has said to me for more than a decade hey did you hear what howard stern said today you know it's uh obviously i mean he could have legitimately grown more mellow with age as a lot of people do but then again a lot of people don't there's the stereotype of course of the grumpy old man and there is a grain of truth in that uh but when it comes to stern uh he also converged toward you know a consistently uh left-leaning uh political alignment and he became rather uh he wound up droning on about with his you know second uh iteration uh things that were trendy or pc or fashionable and i don't think that that's really the product of mellowness it seems like a calculated change in the format of the show basically and my take is that when he went to satellite radio in the 2000s he expected to have much more of a following than he ultimately got uh obviously his ratings were going to tank because listening to him for free by a traditional radio it's one thing but then we go to satellite radio which is a subscription uh platform uh people a lot of people aren't gonna follow him and a lot of people didn't follow him and so my perspective is that you know of course we may have mellow legitimately as the years passed i think that his uh the change in the nature of his show is something that came about because he believed that his old formula was no longer working on satellite radio and he needed some sort of shift to appear uh popular he there was there is the famous video of him from 2013 going on and on and on about uh his show needing to essentially liven itself up and become uh relevant to uh to people in order to get you know big name interviews so i think that stern uh his his change and may in part be based on a legitimate personal transformation uh he has been in therapy for quite a while as luke said but i think also something rather calculated when he believed that his old format wasn't working for him and i would say that that was a bad uh analysis on his part because his show was just really destined to lose the overwhelming majority of its listenership when it went to a paid subscription-based satellite radio format rather than of course the traditional uh free radio format where stern initially became so uh tremendously popular right so he's making bank i mean he must be worth well over 100 million dollars oh no question so he's got that taken care of and now now one thing for people in in his position and in our position is that to some degree we depend upon access and to some degree we depend upon just our raw reaction to events and these two dynamics are at odds with each other to maximize your access to interesting people you probably need to watch what you say so you don't needlessly irritate people on the other hand that makes you more watered down in the things you say so that there's always a dance between having access to people and saying raw unfiltered things that people can't get elsewhere and i i i'm not exempt from that howard stern's not exempt from that no one in this sort of space is exempt from that but i do know that as you get older you become less inclined to take risks and you become you put more of a premium on comfort so i heard i remember in 1982 we we flew back from california to australia for my sister's wedding and so my dad at the time would have been about 52 years of age and we took boxes of my father's books like i had a box under my feet on the airplane which was not very comfortable but we're in a very dire financial position my parents had made the biggest financial mistake of their life that just as interest rates were soaring they they found themselves stuck with two homes like they thought they could get rid of one home so they were paying the mortgage on two homes on a minister's salary times were very very dire so dire that they were even okay with sending me to public school so we were carrying around these books on the plane trip to australia so my dad could sell copies of his books at various speaking engagements that he booked around my sister's wedding now normally at as you get into your 50s you don't carry around books to your speeches anymore people just tire that dennis prager mentions this that when he was in his 20s and 30s maybe even into his 40s he used to carry boxes of his books to his speaking engagements but by the time he hit his 50s he was no longer inclined to do that so as you get older you put more of a premium on comfort and not just comfort in not physically carrying things around but also comfort in your overall life because there's not just the show where you want access but you become less inclined to have a show that is at odds with what's best for the rest of your life so i assume howard stern by all appearances has a good marriage and i assume that the one thing that comes with that is a reasonably decent social life and so i think he's puts more of a premium i think he's putting more of a premium on his own happiness and and on his relationship with his wife while in a previous iteration he was willing to sacrifice his relationship with his wife for the sake of the show now he's willing to sacrifice his show for the sake of his relationship with his wife and that makes the the listener the loser but it may very well make howard stud and his new wife the winner so what about his political realignment then how would you say that factors into this well i don't think about how it's done primarily in political terms i think he's probably less inclined to rock the boat with with his peers and his peers are overwhelmingly going to be on the left so he was more of a rabble rouser a man speaking from the working class or from the struggling lower middle class now he's rich and he's speaking like other people who are rich i don't think he deliberately staked out any political position i believe that these are his natural inclinations that this reflects the the world view of the people that he has done these deals with the people who manage him the the people who he looks to the people he socializes with i think it's just a natural manifestation of a change in social status and less of a need to to rock the boat because the people who do occupy the high ground in culture particularly in media are overwhelmingly on the left and so it becomes very easy to to just align yourself with the people who dominate your particular sphere i remember i went into college very right wing and then about a year or so into college i thought oh wouldn't it be fun to be a left-winger like let me just try this out for size and it was effortless because all my professors were left-wingers so everybody in power over me in college was a left-winger so it became really easy to just go with the float most people just go with the flow and most of the time we don't even notice that we're going with the flow uh just before we get back to stern how was it then that you wound up going back toward the right well i got uh i got really sick and i left college so the incentives to be on the left disappeared because i was no longer in college and i was just on my own and so i kind of reverted to my traditional right wing tendencies so from about the age of 12 or 13 when i was first able to to form a political worldview the the world of uh of hierarchy made more sense to me than the world of enforced equality so almost all my natural tendencies are on the right but i do have like a performance aspect to my personality where i like to try things out and so for a couple of years it was really fun to tell people that i was an atheistic communist and i just kind of enjoyed the intellectual challenge of trying to articulate the dominant world view in ways that seemed funny and utra but when i was on my own and just me and the ceiling uh than than on my also i think when you're sick you become much more vulnerable and so you become much more afraid of change and traditional ways hold more appeal to you sir uh by the way i i've seen obviously you've recovered from your sickness i hope that it was nothing which kept you down for too long oh it was awful it kept me down frankly it kept me down for six years i was basically bedridden in my 20s and i was never the same after that i managed to make about two-thirds of a recovery but i've had really lousy health all my adult life and the number one thing that people would tell me is you need to eat meat because i've been a lifelong vegetarian because that's the way i was raised i've never eaten meat or fish deliberately like occasionally someone stuck it into my food and i didn't notice it but when i did notice that i'd have this violent reaction then a couple of months ago i thought you know let me just try these beef organ capsules so i can't convince myself to eat meat but i just tried these capsules and i started off with just one and then started taking two a day and then after a couple of weeks started taking three a day and then when i was riding my stationary bike i remember i passed about ten and a half miles on my stationary bike and i thought i feel great but what the heck is going on and then i thought there's only one change in my life over the past month and that is i'm now taking beef organ capsules so i feel better than i felt in four decades and the only variable that's changed is ancestral supplements beef organ capsules i take six every morning i feel great i mean i can't believe it i can't i can't get over my early programming in my taste i could not deliberately reach out and eat some salmon or or any meat but i can swallow capsules i don't have any reflux i never taste it i'm just able to swallow it i don't know what it is because i know that vitamin b12 is really hard to assimilate just from tablets or shots etc so maybe it's the vitamin b12 it i don't know what it is but before going capsules have changed my life for the good and and it's funny when you have something that completely transforms your life for the good you have two options you can look back and go my god i have 55 wasted years of my life or you can think oh my god now i've got you know life restored to me so i'm preferring to focus on the latter rather than the former gotcha well it's good to hear that things are going well for you uh of course i've never been one for vegetarianism so i i can't really relate to that but it is good to hear that the beef capsules uh are are performing well in your day-to-day life uh and talking i suppose getting back to stern before we do move on uh now if one i i suppose were to look at his audience which has obviously declined tremendously declined when he went to satellite radio in the first place and then it's declined now it's from what i understand it's really declining because he's basically phoning in his his performance on his show uh he is doing it by a video conference where obviously in the past if we get together in the studio and that made for sort of environment which is very engaging but as a matter of fact on a recent episode of stern's show there was steve martin and martin short uh sitting together and stern talking to them on a tv monitor i mean it just really looked uh crappy and not because of anything that's uh that martin or short did it was just because you know i i it screwed over a stern's absence from their physical presence screwed over the context of the the environment i should say of the interview and it i think this really says to me perhaps that stern uh has reached the point even though he certainly was not at this point i know from judge what i even saw what he said uh in the 2010s particularly the early 2010s but now it would seem that he's reached the point then maybe he just doesn't care anymore about the quality of his show or about how you know how many uh listeners it gets uh this is certainly departure from where he used to be because i mean we have his own words on that video for 2013 which indicate that he absolutely cared about it then but now uh even the the stuff that he's discussing is very tedious uh his his long time fans generally speak you're not happy with it uh it's sort of becoming in many respects a show more like a personal diary uh and you know uh all the stuff combined is certainly resulting in increasing uh listener dissatisfaction with this program so it could just be that over the last few years at some point after 2013 he arrived at the conclusion that he did not care about how many listeners the show gets and with coven now with him you know phoning it in uh he might not even care about the aesthetics of his program it would just seem that he really uh is just as the old saying goes phoning it in anything to say about that luke well he's making over one million dollars per show it's absolutely incredible he's making 120 per year he's only doing 112 shows per year maybe up to three hours a day so 112 shows per year 253 days off a salary of over 1 million per year i like what the new york post wrote april 27th of this year that stern's show is now defined by pessimism anger and a world view that shrinks ever inward limited in size and scope to the basement the literal metaphorical dwelling place of this once great show what would you suppose uh is might be the impetus for this because it seems like he's sort of lighting his show on fire by the way i think you said 120 per show i know that's not what you meant but uh that's exactly what i thought that you meant oh yeah he signed a deal with uh satellite radio uh 500 million dollar deal so i presume that means he's contracted for a few more years uh but anyway uh so why do you think that by all appearances he doesn't care anymore you think it's just that he has the money and he figures screw it i just want to focus on my own comfort or do you think it might be something else i think you know the perspective i just laid out seems to be the most likely one but perhaps it's too simplistic well it's really hard to do a high quality show and sometimes you just don't have it anymore and it's also hard to turn down a million dollars a year so i don't think he's yeah a million dollars a show so i don't think he's deliberately phoning it in it's just that sometimes you just don't have the fastball anymore sometimes you just don't have it anymore you can't phone in a quality radio show you can't just phone in a equality live stream it takes a fire in your belly and it's really hard to have a fire in your belly when you're worth hundreds of millions of dollars when you've got a guaranteed contract i mean look at ezekiel elliott i'm a dallas cowboys fan and zeke was a dominant running back when he entered the league but then once he signed his his big deal i think uh 2019 he was fat and he was lazy and he completely lost his burst and he was just phoning it in now it's it's impossible to just phone it in as a running back and still succeed so he was just a waste for the dallas cowboys because once he had his guaranteed contract like like many players they lose their motivation and so i think howard stern has just lost the inner fire and it's not surprising i mean how many people doing a daily radio show are able to keep that fire burning four decades later absolutely but at the same time his obviously preferred method now gaining publicity which he cares about i think you know the i don't think it's gone away him wanting to get recognition for his show uh his preferred method of gaining publicity is picking fights with people like wendy williams uh donald trump and of course joe rogan people who have much more you know fame on a day-to-day basis than he does i would see that this is a form of clout chasing which is typically what people do when they're lower on the fame and fortune totem pole than somebody else and uh it looks rather desperate for someone like him who obviously you know used to be at the top of that totem pole any thoughts on that yeah we never get to graduate from the game of status competition we never get to rise above it we never get to be so spiritual or so successful that we don't need to concern ourselves with status competition because where we are in the status hierarchy that has a huge determinant on our health and our psychological health on our happiness so do do people look up to us do people admire us do people enjoy us do do people want us around or do people shy away from us for example let's say i i tell a story about yesterday let's say i someone tried to rob me and i had to fight them off and let's say the first two people i try to tell that story to they just blow me off that's like aha and they just walk off by by the end of like two or three engagements like that i would start to doubt that what happened had really happened right we understand ourselves in relation to other people howard stern understands himself in relation to other people we never get to graduate from from status concerns we all have a ferocious desire for status most of this ferocious desire we're not even conscious of we unconsciously will start to imitate the speech mannerisms the the pitch the the intonations of people above us in status we will unconsciously start to mimic their beliefs and how they carry themselves and how they dress this isn't even conscious we just unconsciously start aping and imitating people above us in social status so we are wired to ferociously compete in the status game and people will usually compete in it until their their last conscious hours on earth i mean nobody wants to be thought of as a loser i mean that's embarrassing and an embarrassment like embarrassment is awful for you it is devastating to your to your health to your psychological health a precipitous drop in status is probably the most effective predictor of someone committing suicide people deal very badly with precipitous drops in in status so even when you're worth hundreds of millions of dollars like i was third even when you're making over a million dollars a show you will hate steadily falling in status and you won't even be conscious necessarily of it but you will be clawing back to to try to be in the conversation again and and i i don't think any of us are immune from this reality i i would agree entirely and before we do finally move on because there's other stuff to discuss by the way if you have a reasonable responsible question or comment for luke or myself please leave it by a streamlabs thank you very much in advance but there is the question luke of why uh stern has kept on at these ridiculously uh exorbitant uh rates his salary uh why is he kept on at this level when i think it's obvious that he's not making this sort of money for uh his platform uh for satellite radio i i i i can't see how he hasn't been trying to go over the numbers in my head of what they probably are and i just don't see how it's profitable for his employer to be paying in this kind of money they have to be incurring a loss on it and if it were a loss of anything less than 10 million dollars you could see how it might be a convenient write-off for them that they could use uh for their own benefit you know in some unexpected ways but the sort of money they're paying stern i don't think you could you know boil that down to a write-off i i think that there has to be something here uh because stern i think very clearly it's not worth the money that he's being paid i mean he's making more than way more than rush limbaugh did and limbaugh himself was vastly more popular even at the end of his life than stern is now well i don't know the economics of satellite radio but i suspect that it's not as not an open and shut case as you present so they may well be overpaying but it may be as a lost leader there may be other ramifications it's a little bit like the united states relationship with israel on the face of it the united states subsidizing israel to the tune of four billion dollars a year and other close intimate connections between the united states and israel does not seem to be in america's best interest but there may be other other benefits that the united states is getting from this deal that i'm not seeing and there may be other benefits that sirius is getting that you're not seeing so i suspect it's not just a ridiculous uh complete idiocracy of a decision i'm sure that there are some payoffs to to satellite radio but i have no idea how howard stern could be bringing in for his employer at least a million dollars a show i don't think there's any way in which that's possible especially when you consider that there's no advertising on satellite radio uh you know on his old show on traditional radio absolutely no question they would bring in a million dollars per show in advertising hell is a lot more than that but uh with satellite radio i just so see the profitability it have to be in terms of there being enough people to subscribe to sirius just because stern is there and i simply don't think that he has that sort of listenership any longer i think his listenership on sirius today is less certainly less than say what limbaugh got even at the end of his life when his popularity had waned considerably uh so anyway that is the discussion about howard stern before we do move on luke anything to say about him or his predicament uh no it is bewildering how he how he keeps going because it seems like he's embarrassing himself he's a little bit like a 50 year old prize fighter wasn't there some 52 year old prize fighter who just came back a couple of weeks ago and donald trump was doing the the color announcing and he got knocked out in in the first round so for for most fighters who keep fighting after age 40 it's usually a ludicrous spectacle and like some part of howard stern must be embarrassed by what he's turning out i don't think there's any doubt about that and now talking about uh abortion uh this is an issue which uh had gone away for a while in the national uh dialogue but it is back i think it's worth noting that the gop has been pursuing this for you know uh generations now and uh it was something that was big on the agenda before trump came along when trump came along they moved to more economics and national security specifically immigration and of course withdrawing troops from uh certain engagements overseas or not getting into those engagements in the first place and the gop uh sort of followed a different path uh even though trump did promise to uh to not further the pro-choice agenda as president which i think he very clearly made good on that promise uh and i say this is a pro-choice person myself who wishes he was just something different but i i can't deny that he did not uh he certainly did not let the anti-abortion folks voted for it down but now that he's uh no longer in office uh certain elements of the gop have brought this anti-abortion debate back front and center even though it's something which is clearly a loser for republicans in election season and they brought it back to an extent with this new texas law that is uh almost uh beyond what words can describe because this law uh it's creative you know it doesn't uh outlaw abortion and of itself but it allows people to sue those who get abortions and those who in any way shape or form assist in people receiving abortions and that you know it means that not only the abortion practitioner can be sued excuse not only abortion practitioner can be sued but somebody who drove someone to an abortion clinic uh theoretically the receptionist at the clinic uh somebody gave somebody money to get an abortion and people can sue someone uh any of these people from out of state people never even been to texas can file a lawsuit and i mean the whole thing it it really incorporates some of the worst elements of the political left where you have this over litigiousness designed to use law fair against people whose views are disliked even though they're doing is legal and then also it builds a culture of what the cubans would call uh a chivado or what i will call here chivadoism chivados were snitches uh for the government who would go around spying on their neighbors and reporting anything that they did which was not kosher with the party line to the party itself and then these neighbors who were reported on would get uh they have some bad things happen to them that same culture now certainly has been inspired by the texas republicans have come out with this ridiculous law because they've essentially deputized private citizens to do what the state wants and stop these abortions and the people are stopping these abortions by filing these absurd lawsuits which if they lose the lawsuit they can't even be uh they cannot be made to pay the person they sues legal fees so i mean it's a totally bizarre situation uh even if you uh very much oppose abortion rights i think one has to say that this law is absolutely bonkers but uh you know it is what it is luke anything to say about this right so on the face of it it seems bonkers but you have to have to then look at what are the repercussions i mean perhaps this is a law that will stand up against uh supreme court scrutiny it seems like there's every indication that this law will pass u.s supreme court scrutiny and it will be imitated by other states such as florida so after four decades of ineffectual activity by the republicans to try to restrict abortion for the first time it appears that they have struck on a winning formula and if the formula is unappetizing if the formula is offensive if the formula seems to be appealing to the worst in us that's one thing but what if it works what if it rallies the republican party what if it uh brings protestants and catholics and brings about a republican coalition that's then able to do other things so so events like this abortion law are not just events on their face there's there's usually a deeper meaning behind it now there's nothing inherent in christianity that makes it pervantly opposed to abortion so people like to think that there's like some essential characteristic of judaism some essential characteristic of islam some essential characteristic of christianity some essential characteristic of black people some essential characteristic of nordic people some essential characteristic of japanese people but there aren't there aren't any essential characteristics of any particular religion or or people what happens is certain people manifest differently in different circumstances and so christianity protestant christianity catholic christianity suddenly became obsessed about abortion in the late 1970s this was entirely brand new and as late as 1984 abortion was not a partisan issue so what happened was that the conservative people like phyllis schlafly and paul wyrick and uh other movement conservatives richard vigory jerry falwell they were looking for some some way to expand their base beyond those simply opposed to the civil rights movement and so abortion was a way of uniting everybody with traditional ties so it unites people who don't like big government who don't want uh north east liberals and pointy heads on the supreme court or federal politicians legislating what can be the law in in one's own home state uh people some people just don't like threats to the traditional way of life and anything that opens up access to more sex because anything that opens up more access to more sex makes marriage more unstable it increases temptation for men and it weakens the hold of a woman on her husband because when abortion is legal the man has more opportunities to cheat screw around and get away with it so all sorts of people were incentivized to get aboard the anti-abortion bandwagon so i think you could make a strong argument as the left does so often i think the left has has very sharp analyses i think you can make a very strong argument as the left does that abortion is really a proxy for race in in the 1970s you had bob jones university which until about 15 years ago it for bad interracial dating and so you had these segregated racially segregated private schools that were losing their tax-exempt status and this was not an issue that could unite conservatives right you don't get to bring together protestants catholics traditionalists conservatives right-wingers around an issue we need to restore tax-exempt status to racially segregated private schools right that's a loser but attitudes towards abortion basically reflect attitudes towards race so whites who score high on racial resentment and racial grievance they're far more likely to support strict limits on abortion than whites who score low on those measures so racial attitudes are linked to a whole wide of disparate issues including social welfare spending gun control immigration uh climate change and so abortion in and of itself is of very little significance to christianity and anything inherent in conservatism but it is a powerful proxy for stay out of my backyard states rights and it's really a powerful proxy for race and white people would never rally around on explicitly a racial platform but they will rally around on issues that are proxies for race and abortion is essentially a proxy for race people who are strongly opposed to abortion tend to be strongly opposed to affirmative action to massive social welfare spending uh they tend to be massively massively opposed to relaxing criminal enforcement they they tend to be for very strong law enforcement for long prison sentences for people who commit dangerous crimes and so these these are proxies for issues that tend to unite republicans a few quite a few things first and foremost it's unlikely that the law in texas will come to florida uh somebody has filed a bill which is actually a watered-down version of the texas bill uh in the legislature but uh even it's desantis and the republican leadership of the legislature not endorsed the bill they just made some noises about being pro-life uh typically what happens i know the florida republican party very well and how it operates uh what it does is it avoids these hot button social issues and if it addresses them at all it's in a very sort of back door uh moderate sounding way for instance desantis signed a bill uh a few years ago which mandates parental notification for abortion but it includes a judicial bypass option so really anybody uh you would just go get the judicial bypass uh and the parental consent goes out the window so i mean it's a toothless act but talking about uh what the florida republicans will do but i find it very unlikely that this bill will pass the florida legislature it will probably die in committee in at least the house or the senator might get through one of the committee and one of these chambers but it being signed by the census is unlikely he has asked the state legislature not to bring any controversial bills to his desk in an election year and he did so for obvious reasons uh and now looking at the popularity of this thing i'm not big on public polling as everybody knows i think a lot of it is garbage but uh i don't deny something that's very obvious and there is an obvious uh trend which shows that most americans dislike the sort of uh abortion law that was passed in texas specifically one that uh does not allow any exceptions for the victims of rape or incest so i think that quite clearly this is a very unpopular bill even many republicans dislike it uh but it certainly was done because the texas republicans thought they'd get something out of it in terms of political benefit i'm just not quite sure what that is but i cannot imagine this bill being very popular in the long run as a matter of fact if you follow this sort of thing i i think luke probably does more than i do which is to say that you if you care about it uh abbott's approval rating has gone down massively in texas since this thing was brought into uh power and obviously that means he's losing support among people who voted for him uh but so i think that the popularity of the texas law is quite marginal and i think that it's it's uh the likelihood of it being replicated in other large states is also quite low but you know beyond that looking at abortion if people abortion is what keeps the republican party in office uh or at least it's what keeps it viable because the people who get abortions are disproportionately from the left they're socially and economically downscaled they're people who tend to not have a lot of long-term planning although that's not absolutely the case obviously uh and the people who get abortions typically uh get pregnant because they don't take proper steps to avoid becoming pregnant in the first place and so it attracts a certain sort of person who's very likely to vote for the left who's very likely to want instant gratification which you know makes them even more likely to vote for the left beyond general principle and it also attracts a sort of person who's not very much interpersonal responsibility or else once again they would have taken a precaution ahead of time now of course there are cases where birth control prophylactics don't work but those are i mean they are there but i mean they're quite marginal in reference to the overall situation where people just don't take uh proper precautions ahead of time or they don't get tubal ligations or vasectomies so i i think that uh there's no question that abortion demographically is good for the right and bad for the left and so for people on the right who are enamored of anti-abortion politics they're really advocating for something that will destroy their uh power within the electorate because if there is no abortion and everyone has kids who would have had an abortion then the left is going to have a supercharged uh demographic majority within a generation's time and uh the right is going to get swamped so i don't know how it makes sense for anyone on the right who's concerned with demographics to be uh anti-abortion that's actually a total cell phone by the way it's also a self-owned for the left to be pro-choice because they are ensuring that their uh demographic power is not as great as it would otherwise be yeah there's a good point so there's a big difference between conservatism and say the distant right on this issue the the distant right understands that abortion is overwhelmingly eugenic that it's the less intelligent people who are the most likely to uh have unwanted pregnancies so there's there's definitely a eugenic angle but i i don't see any way how this plays out in republicans long-term favor and and yet this this issue does have a a strange hypnotic effect on people who are who have some traditional tendencies so i i view all abortion as killing but i don't view it as murder so that that is the traditional jewish perspective yes it's killing but it's not murder it's not the equivalent of taking taking the life of someone who's born so i view the overwhelming number of abortions as immoral and so if if this could perhaps prompt a change in attitudes towards uh sexuality that it's not quite as recreational an activity as people may want it to be if this if this prompts a little bit more soul searching then obviously those would be this would be good consequences i'm having a hard time i can't see how this this texas law leads to two positive results for republicans down the road because i i have never been able to resonate with the the further of the anti-abortion cause even though i morally share the fervor i do think the overwhelming majority of abortions are murder and uh killing but it has a hypnotic effect on people which is a little bit beyond my can on the other hand i remember i met this very nice girl very lovely girl who had a party after her abortion and that that attitude is even more is even more foreign to me that's even more appalling to me that that's even more hideous to me that you would throw a party after having an abortion that you would celebrate having an abortion or as some leftist women that i've dated have said well abortion is just something that you know women go through that that cavalier attitude to killing appalls me so i don't i don't i can't join the anti-abortion further of conservatives but i am far more appalled by the pro-choice side who think that abortion is something to celebrate i'll just i suppose lay my cards on the table i am very pro-choice i think it's good for society in terms of demographics i think it's good for the uh concept of individual rights and liberties i think that if personhood were granted to a pre-viable fetus or an embryo it cheapens uh the dignity of human life under the law but at the same time i do dislike very strongly and i think it should be illegal unless to save the life of the mother abortions uh from fetal viability onward if the fetus is alive in and of itself it's if it's able to sustain its own life it is it is developed to the point where it is alive on its own merits uh then it just so happens to be inside of the woman that's my point of view and aborting it then i think quite clearly isn't and i oppose it as such because of individual rights and liberties although of course if the woman is going to die for having continued her pregnancy then i think she should get preference over the viable fetus even though it is obviously a very murky matter in any case but uh now when it comes to the abortion of embryos or uh unviable fetuses i have no problem with it i don't think they're alive uh in any philosophical or bioethical sense that being said i do feel most comfortable and i think everyone generally speaking well not everyone but most people do with abortions being performed within the first trimester within the first 12 months it's what roe v wade originally referred to for a reason and i think that uh it's good that most abortions are performed in this period i think 12 weeks three months is more than enough time to get an abortion so uh ideally most would happen within that 12-week window and you know was going to call an embryo and something that she had the same rights as an infant i really don't have any words for that i think it speaks i don't talk about luke i'm saying generally i think it speaks to a certain biological ignorance i know luke is not ignorant of human biology and i did not mean to make it seem like i was talking about uh him here i'm just speaking generally about what i've heard from a lot of anti-abortion people so it's really uh it's really an interesting matter in a host of respects and there are a lot of different views on it there's a lot of nuance but it attracts a lot of fanatics luke mentioned fanatics on the left who have abortion parties which is a little out there to say the absolute least uh and then you of course the people on the right who basically would choose to save if given the opportunity uh a bunch of frozen sperm and eggs uh in a vault in a in a case as opposed to a three-year-old girl from say a collapsing building because they viewed the these you know the the sperm inside of the egg as just as much of a human being as a three-year-old girl so in their very skewed mindset uh it's better to save the uh the case full of these uh sperm and eggs which are met rather than three-year-old girl i saw i mean you get fanatics on both sides but it's really crazy stuff i think when you reach the point of having the abortion party or when you think that the sperm and the egg are more important than say the three-year-old girl i think you've really uh gone to a place that is profoundly unhealthy and of course about i say you don't mean luke it's it's a general thing luke anything to say about what i brought up well there are there are primary emotions here's an analogy there are primary emotions and there are secondary emotions so for example anger is usually a secondary emotion anger is a reaction to feeling hurt so if i got really angry god forbid joseph and let's say i misinterpreted what he just said is some kind of personal attack of me and i got really angry at him that would be a secondary emotion it would be because i felt hurt that he had dismissed me or diminished me or scored me or put me down in some way and then to cover up that hurt i would try to cover up that primary emotion of hurt with anger to try to disguise it and so too i think there are primary issues and primary identities and secondary issues and secondary identities i i don't believe that abortion truly energizes people it's a secondary it's a proxy for identity i think everything comes down to identity and people with shreds of traditional ties to identity to a identity to a local city or a local state or a particular way of life or to a religion or to traditional ideas of family are going to use things like abortions as proxy to try to maintain their way of life i think relatively few people actually care intensely about abortion but tens of millions of people will be energized by abortion because it's a proxy for something deeper which usually comes down to matters of identity and now luke before we do move on because i suppose this hot button of an issue is abortionist there's only so much one could say about it uh why do you think that so many on the right who are obviously concerned with political demographics trending against them strongly and i obviously do agree with you that there's no way this texas law pans out well for the gop electorally speaking uh but why these was there so many of these conservatives who are obsessed with the democrats getting more and more of the electorate then uh oppose abortion knowing that if there are no abortions the democratic share of the electorate increases exponentially oh well i guess maybe i've gone ahead of myself do you think it's that they don't know this or do you think they do know it and they don't care uh do you think it's some sort of uh you know something else what's your take on that well i think when you can't say things out loud people become more reluctant to even think things so obviously different peoples have different gifts but you can't say this out loud with any specificity or you were removed from polite society so therefore because you can't say such an obvious thing that the the average gifts of ashkenazi jews are different from the average gifts of japanese which are different from the average gifts of sub-saharan africans and different from the average guest gifts of eskimos all right so because you can't say such a basic thing out loud people in positions of of importance positions of fame positions of influence are reluctant not just to say these things out loud but even to think them so because you can't talk about the demographic repercussions of abortion out loud what you just said that this would be frowned upon therefore i think people many people refuse even to think about these things because they know that if they think about the group differences or demographics that they will be that much closer to saying something out loud like a lot of people think oh i'll just say it to my friends but then somehow it spills out so i think people are afraid to even think the truth even deal with with the profound consequences of demographic repercussions of abortion as you just mentioned people are so afraid of being associated with the word eugenics that they won't even think in in ways that are eugenic or dysgenic and so then they they end up in in some kind of bizarro land that is quite disconnected from reality indeed and that's where a lot of conservatives are i mean they'd have to know deep down that anti-abortion is not good for them or they might have some inkling of it but they just shoo it away and they instead focus on the moral uh side of this or perhaps a short-term political pragmatism i think we'll be able to get more voters by pandering to them on this issue but it's really a sad situation on the whole because the left is not focused on its long-term benefit which would be anti-abortion it would be shoring up its own demographic power and no question and then the right is not focused on its own long-term benefit either uh it's focused on you know i think ridiculous things instead both sides here there's a lot of blade to go around and neither one is acting in its best interests and i i think identity is like everything else is contingent and contextual and takes place within a wider culture so you had roe v wade you had this this from from everything that i've read by legal experts this is just a horrific ruling on a legal basis there was no basis in law for roe v wade that has then repercussions and so suddenly people who'd never cared or thought about abortion they were triggered by roe v wade and the horribleness of this ruling to suddenly take abortion seriously and to push back against roe v wade so all sorts of people for example who never thought strongly about christianity and now suddenly coming around to embracing a muscular version of christianity that they would never have done so if not for the overreach of the secular left here's an analogy i went i visited england in 2005 and within an hour or two of getting off the plane and going to a pub i found myself speaking in an exaggerated australian accent and i didn't know why i was doing it i didn't know where i was going mate like why was i carrying on in some exaggerated but that context of being in england it suddenly brought out what was usually latent in me i don't normally go around like an australian larrikin but that context suddenly brought out the australian in me so the context is america's context changes all sorts of identities that are latent in people suddenly come out people who never thought about being white are suddenly thinking about being white people who never thought about muscular christianity suddenly thinking about muscular christianity people have never given a damn about states rights are suddenly thinking about states rights people who've never cared one way or another about homosexuals once you have homosexual marriage as the law of the land suddenly they have an instinctive reaction to it people who've never thought about transsexuals once they see it being extensively celebrated and even mandated that we celebrate it in the media they suddenly have a reaction against us so what is identity identity comes out depending on context so in one context my my conservative side is going to come out in another context my orthodox jewish side is going to come out in another context my australian heritage is going to come out in another context my anglo heritage is going to come out in another context my american identity is going to come out another context my los angeles or californian identity is going to come out when we had that recent big submarine deal between the united states australia and the united kingdom suddenly like my anglo identity got triggered it's like this is fantastic the anglo powers are uniting to do something wonderful that's going to push back against growing chinese influence is going to be good for australia this is going to be good for the united states so it would be good for the whole anglo-sphere and so an identity that was reasonably latent in me suddenly became primary in reaction to events so when harold macmillan i think was asked in the 1950s what would determine the success of his government i believe he answered events my dear boy events and events also have a profound effect on our identity in one context our primary identity may well be christian or jewish in a different context it may be texan or conservative or southern or anglo so as as events change and context change our identities what was latent or buried in us will come to come to the force so when israel won the 1967 war on a massive basis millions of jews who had very little jewish identity suddenly became hyper chauvinist jews it just came out of nowhere it shocked them and and it's as tom wolf said back to blood blood is probably the most basic and primal of all identities and in in a growing age of uh confusion then often the these most primal identities will come to the fore i agree entirely i don't think there's really any two ways about what you said i think it's just a fact of human nature uh all which you've related and uh it very much is what it is and i will say though i'll give a reasonable responsible question for luke and myself please leave it by streamlabs thank you very much in advance uh and now talking about our last at least the last issue that i have uh marked down here for tonight it is uh the uh matter of afghanistan how what happened there happened uh and i mean that's such a such a multi-faceted issue that it's hard to even think about how to how to address it but we all we did uh agree to address uh the us leaving afghanistan so looking at the situation luke uh i mean it's hard to even figure out where to begin to look at it because it's so much to look at uh what do you think the ramifications of this are likely to be in a nutshell in terms of america's standing on the world stage so i believe that when this was going down i think you may have said something to me on twitter about how this this provides credence for your perspective of uh fairly uh critical or negative uh take on the trajectory of american power relative to to the rest of the world and i don't see that whatsoever so i don't believe that america's standing in the world is at all affected by however humiliating a withdrawal from a particular place like afghanistan is america's standing in the world depends primarily on its military and economic power and america's military and economic power is not at all diminished by us getting out of afghanistan in fact it is to america's benefit to get the hell out of that place no matter how embarrassing it is just as if you're in a bad relationship and you get out of it and in the process of getting out of it your your soon-to-be ex-girlfriend like puts flyers all over the neighborhood saying you're a pedophile and you know calls your workplace and gets you fired and you go oh my god this is such a humiliation i'm gonna have to leave the country you're still better off getting out of that dumpster of a relationship even with all the humiliation that comes with the united states is in a better position being out of that dumpster fire of a relationship no matter how humiliating the exit so america's power depends primarily on the strength and vibrancy of this economy that the american dollar is the dominant currency it's the world's currency and also america has the dominant military we have the best military even with all the you know crazy things that the biden administration is pushing we still have the aircraft carriers we still have the nuclear weapons we still have the aircraft we still have the training we still have the drones we still have the technology and going around the world and knocking over regimes on the one hand there are a lot of negative repercussions that come with that but it also is a warning to people that yeah we can do crazy stuff so how do you deal with someone in your neighborhood who on occasion just lashes out and punches people you don't gratuitously offend that person you give that person a wide berth you generally won't confront a person who is is liable to go off unpredictably with some you know crazy amount of violence and yet somehow they're in good with the police and they never get arrested so the united states is power and prestige in the world is not diminished just because this looks like a humility it was a humiliating exit so america's power depends on its economy and its military america is better off for getting the hell out of afghanistan and it's a manifestation of how much power and wealth the united states has that it can go into afghanistan for two decades and blow two trillion dollars and and just power on it's like people who light a cigar with a hundred dollar bill like people who like their cigars with a hundred dollar bill that's not their last hundred dollar bill they do that because they have so much money they have money to burn the united states in comparison to other countries has money to burn now obviously i think we're all agreed here that that uh staying in afghanistan was a terrible decision i think even going into there in the first place was a bad decision that the right-wing approach to 9 11 of treating it as a culture war was a bad decision and the the instinctive left-wing approach of treating 911 as a law enforcement matter we would have been much better served by going with that left-wing uh approach but the left didn't even have the courage of his convictions it was so scared by what happened with the iraq kuwait war and how successful the u.s military was that they didn't have the courage of their own convictions but in retrospect i think the the normative left-wing response of treating 911 as a law enforcement matter rather than a culture war would have been correct and going into afghanistan and iraq were just absolute terrible awful disasters but what's amazing is the united states still has so much wealth and power i mean but think of the far better things we could have done with those resources than what we did yeah obviously luke presents a powerful analysis here and he presents his argument quite well and i agree with it in certain respects actually before i get into my point of view i will say that this is not the last call but it is the call before the last call if you have a reasonable and responsible question or comment for luke or myself please leave it via streamlabs thank you very much in advance not the last call but the call before the last call so get your stuff in as soon as you can thank you very much in advance once again uh now the thing of it is is that what has happened over the last 20 years or so is that americans have they went from being ultra patriotic ultra confident in their military around the time of 9 11. to after the uh events of the iraq war actually as these events were unfolding uh and the public became more sour on american military power overseas and this has you know been something that has built up over time and now we've reached the point where military recruitment is uh anemic very few people want to join uh the military now appeals and i've seen their appeals they appeal to people on the basis of the economic benefits of joining the military the patriotism argument is out uh the military top brass are very openly doing what they can to dissuade people from joining that don't align with their politics i think that the obvious goal of the of the military as it's presently led is to have a much smaller military they know they're gonna have soldiers not renewing their contracts because of all this infantrymen to be precise and a few officers but they'd be viewed as dissidents who the leadership would rather have out anyway but i think the goal of this whole thing is to have the military be a federal law enforcement federal police agency to basically enforce as time goes on uh very unpopular in some areas of the country lefty dictates which may not even be constitutional but the military would be used by the executive to enforce it anyway it's a brilliant strategy because the democrats do have a friendlier and friendlier map of presidential elections but at the same time the uh control of the u.s house certainly the u.s center for them in the long run is nowhere near so rosy so i think they've made the uh uh they've gone the route of saying well we're probably gonna have the executive um more often than not during the years to come which is to say the presidency and so we'll just use the military then for uh for whatever aims we want i think that's where the democrats are coming from here and so for them having the military be remade in their preferred image is absolutely crucial and they would not need a military big enough to invade countries uh the us obviously went to war against the chinese today in terms of sheer manpower it would be overwhelmed uh the the people in charge and military know this they're not stupid so i think they're just retooling the military to be used in time for uh domestic purposes as a police force i really think that is that that's what they're doing and uh now talking about how americans uh view their country and it's standing abroad uh americans generally speaking have a lack of confidence and this is across the political spectrum of their country's ability to project strength overseas now and some people say well on the right would say well it's all because of what biden did and that's yeah it's that it contributed to it for sure but it's not the whole thing like i said this has been building up for about 20 years so i think that the situation now is that luke is correct that america is not you know just going to get weak and collapse blah blah blah the thing that really powers america as luke mentioned is its economy america is very similar to the eu nowadays where you have a collection of entities that can govern themselves to a limited extent but they're overseen by a massive uh bureaucracy which binds all of these governing entities together and what really binds these entities together is the common market the domestic market uh in the case of the us and if that market were not so valuable then the country itself would cease to exist america today simply exists because of its gross domestic product that's it just as the eu exists because of its common market uh it's it's uh it simply has too valuable common market to fall apart and the us has too valuable of the gdp to fall apart that is the bottom line and uh so america is not just going to collapse that however what's happening is that the country no longer has a core of identity or a macro culture we used to be sort of an anglo-centric macro culture that had a pluralism from place to place variations is what i'm saying but there still was there used to be there's something people assimilate you from sea to shining sea but since the 1960s that has been eroded and now with wokeness uh obviously that sort of anglo-centric macroculture is viewed by many as something demonic so uh where we're in a situation in the us where people do not feel fraternity with each other from place to place uh they remain in the same country simply because of uh the domestic market which fuels the federal government and that's really it and i don't think that a country can truly be successful projecting strength on the world stage if its people do not believe in the country itself uh most americans nowadays have no common cause to rally around as i said before there's no national core of identity and there's no uh countrywide macro culture to build fraternity so uh while america is not going anywhere now uh it is rotting from within and in several generations time that could create a situation where there no longer is a us but it's that marketplace that domestic marketplace which makes it so uh likely to stick around for some time to come but i don't think that america cert i certainly don't think america is destined to be the world power i think we're entering a multi-polar world where there's going to be many more global powers and they'll have their own sphere of influence in different places and they'll be running things either literally or by proxy in these areas so i think that's where everything is headed uh look at things say about what i just brought up i i just started thinking i wanted to try to come up with a contrary take so that we at least have an interesting discussion so here's a possible contrary take it may be that the primary reason for the decline in national feeling and whether the decline in communal feeling has nothing to do with workness or the left or even immigration it may have to do with the growing individuation of lives so we have increasing specialties in professions we have increasing specialties in recreation so it used to be that a community would gather around its its church for example that that that would that would be the primary source of emotional solace so i'll just speak from a purely secular perspective for a minute so the the church or the synagogue or the mosque and and organized religion would be the primary source of emotional comfort to people and i think that was true until maybe midway through the 19th century it also used to be true that the your religion was the primary source of information that it would be transmitted through your church synagogue or mosque and through say printing presses or through the transmission of documents via via monks or other people and and that's no longer true so it used to be that the way to get status was to participate in your religion and there was many volunteer opportunities for laity in particular in protestant christianity but in other religions as well to gain status by participating in religion and that's no longer true now people get status by holding a book club by holding poetry readings by organizing gaming by being in the yacht club by by coaching little league by being in a sewing circle there are so many different individual ways that people get status these days they no longer need religion there are so many different ways that people seek comfort these days they no longer primarily turn to organized religion some people turn to marijuana some people turn to their favorite movies and tv shows other people turn to yoga other people turn to a special diet to a special exercise program to special hobbies to to a social circle there are just so many opportunities for comfort that are immediately uh compelling and that many people probably most people find even more useful for providing emotional comfort than than religion so status comfort information there are so many places to get information now you don't need to get it from from your church or from your church sanctioned information outlets and so people increasingly lead all these individual lives and so there's been a dramatic loss in common feeling and i think this took place before the 1960s i'm thinking out loud that this primarily took place before the 1960s before mass immigration before the rise of cultural marxism or workism or whatever you want to tell it i think it may be inherent in the nature of modernity that we have a loss of common feeling a diminishment of national feeling a a diminishment of of common ties with people whom we live around and and then immigration and and wokism and and some other things may exacerbate that but it may be that modernity has has changed the way people operate and so i think we've had a steady decline in religiosity over over the past 150 years and and i think uh with that with all these individuating processes of modernity comes a loss of common feeling and that hollows out a communal sense and also perhaps a national sense to some degree i'm just thinking out loud so i'll just leave it there no it's very very worth much worth hearing and i think there's more than uh more than a few grains of truth in it so to speak uh as a matter of fact i think there's a hell of a lot of truth in what you said i i do think though that even uh what you said at the extent that i agree with it uh and then i just have to reiterate i do agree with it quite a bit but if one looks at america it did have something of an identifiable macro culture even in an age of modernity that began in the 19th century as you mentioned uh it had an absolutely identifiable macroculture until the 1960s but it certainly had one even after that it was it was withering away but it was still there as a matter of fact uh last night i was watching uh re-watching after been a while since i've seen it fast times at ridgemont high which obviously said in san fernando valley a place luke knows well and it is it's about uh the high schoolers and their experiences and the culture represented there is not what you see in the san fernando valley today and that movie came out uh almost 40 years ago now 39 years ago was filmed in 1981 so that would make it actually 40 years ago and uh you can certainly see how uh a common culture there has turned into something today what you see in san fernando valley today is uh it's quite disjointed in comparison i'll just leave it at that uh and i think you know even though california is not the us on the whole certainly is by no means a microcosm of it the same phenomenon that played out in the san fernando valley has played out across the us in different ways into different extents from place to place one can't generalize uh too much but it has played out on the whole and that has produced a situation where people no longer feel commonality with you know someone just on the basis of being an american uh certainly not in the way that they once did and so it's quite fascinating but still the modernity uh stuff which luke brought up i think absolutely is worth considering and i have no doubt that it has contributed to the present state of affairs in many respects but there can also be no doubt that an american cultural identity uh began to really take a hit in the 1960s with the social revolution that produced many things but chief among them in terms of having i think a long-term impact was multiculturalism and the sort of vacuum that multiculturalism created and the lefty administrative states success and pushing multiculturalism that's this stuff certainly opened the door for wokeness which is not so much a political philosophy as it is a secular religion that just happens to play itself out in the political realm so it's it's a very uh it's a fascinating situation i think when people look back on this they'll be like wow all this have happened such a short period of time uh this sure was an interesting uh uh era in which to be alive from the 1960s until the 2020s that uh likely beyond that i don't think things are going to quiet down within the next decade i certainly don't think the rate of socioeconomic as well as political change is going to slow down within that time span so it's really uh it's fascinating stuff and if we weren't living through it it really would be i think uh fun to watch sort of like uh as a spectator sport but uh all to say these changes are occurring and they are what they are and it has resulted in a far less cohesive america and one without a national identity for people to rally around particularly during hard times for a country such as the one we're going through now with covid and uh other things so you know uh luke i suppose uh before i do the last call uh there are a lot of people on the right who want to uh bring back an america that they recognize essentially even there are many different perspectives on it people want to bring back a traditional america which in their mind tends to be the america that existed from the 1950s through the 1980s with obviously some things that they dislike edited out uh and they seem to be very intent on doing this even though as uh as nick carraway told jay gatsby you can't repeat the past uh so what's your take on this uh conservative uh perspective right i on the face of it i i don't see how this is a a viable path forward but but uh maybe some aspects of this will be will be taken on uh maybe some things will be given a lot more lip service than the true true devotion is paid and other things to which true devotion is paid will get no lip service so for example abortion is a proxy i think for race and there are all sorts of uh other things like nascar that are a proxy for race and so i mean there's no connection between rhetoric particularly the rhetoric of groups the rhetoric of religions the rhetoric of communities and the rhetoric of politicians the rhetoric of political parties and and reality but we we may get invocations of the past to to forward a whole whole new agenda so there's no there's no necessary connection between people calling for a return to traditional values and the effects of what they're actually instituting and now this is the last call if you have a reasonable and responsible question or comment for luke or myself please leave it by stream labs leave it as soon as you can thank you very much because this is the last call luke i must say this has been uh with we've had many good conversations that should go without mentioning but this has been one of our better conversations i think we've really addressed a lot of stuff that's very uh difficult to uh disseminate because of its multifaceted intricate nature uh we've managed to address it pretty quickly and at the same time in a very respectful and substantive fashion yes i really enjoyed it and i just wanted to add one more story because i noticed a lot of people and particularly conservatives in the media they are outraged about the coveted lockdowns in australia oh i forgot yeah please though yes let let's discuss that as we absolutely as we uh wind down tonight please go ahead and so the new york times has an article today has covert cost australia its love for freedom and my friends cannot understand how sydney australia for example australia's biggest city has been locked down with a severity virtually unknown to americans for four months so in australia they're routinely handing out fifty five hundred dollar fines for violating covert lockdowns so the severity of these lockdowns the repercussions for these lockdowns the use of law enforcement drones the military to enforce these lockdowns is absolutely appalling from an american perspective and i think i have a really simple explanation and i prefer explanations that don't make one side good and one side bad so here goes that for americans their primary value is freedom because america emerged out of the first british empire before the enlightenment it emerged as an armed revolution against the british empire and americans resolved to to be free so americans place far more emphasis on their freedom than do australians new zealanders south africans uh english europeans like freedom is the number one american value now by contrast in australia and new zealand and to a lesser extent in england the number one value is fairness so from an american freedom-loving perspective these covered lockdowns in australia are an anathema from the average australians perspective these lockdowns are a reasonable response to a an unusual situation that preserves lives and therefore it is fair so australians have 20 different ways of saying fair they have all sorts of expressions that americans don't use fair go is a very common australian expression i don't recall yanks talking about a fair go fair dinkum common australian expression that someone you know is a decent bloke you say you spared income i don't recall that being used in america so there are all sorts of expressions for fairness in australia and new zealand that are just never used in america and it reflects the australian and new zealand obsession with fairness because australian new zealand emerged out of the second british empire the post-enlightenment british empire there was not an armed revolution and so by and large australians and new zealanders have a government that works for them they may complain about it but in the united states the government is frequently seen and experienced as the enemy you get off the plane you go through bureaucracy customs in the united states you are treated as the enemy as an american you are treated by your government as the enemy when you disembark from an airplane and go through customs you go to australia and you're an australian and you go through customs you're treated as a friend you're treated as a mate you're treated by people who look like you and sound like you and you are welcomed so australians have a government that for all those flaws basically works for them they they may complain but australians by and large support these these stringent covert lockdowns now to what extent these lockdowns reduce death i'm not expert enough but it is conceivable to me that they have played an important role in in reducing death rates and so the death rates from covert in in australia about 140th the death rates in the united states and in europe so i also believe that americans by and large support a strong covert response i believe if trump had come out for say stronger lockdowns even let's say that's bad public policy but i think it would have been a winning political policy we saw gavin newsom resoundingly defeat the the recall gavin newsom was the first person to lock down a state he locked down california in reaction to covet i think that americans by and large had more of an appetite for more restrictions than even their government gave them and so i think it's interesting in contrast to you know freedom lovers that i think by and large the average american wanted even stricter government responses to covert the average australian by and large as i understand it has supported these very stringent uh reactions and and people often value things more than freedom and and so i just find that fascinating in america the closest thing to the fairness ethic you refer to in australia is the concept of the square deal but that really pertains to business words in australia as you mentioned it's more of a a cultural thing uh and certainly i think the australian uh and new zealander uh devotion to the concept of fairness as a cultural identifier not just something that's a good practice uh is something that's not even seen to that extent in the uk uh and i think you mentioned that as well it's something unique to australia and new zealand on the basis of uh of what these societies came out in the case of australia obviously it was a penal colony so the the people they were going to have a big big uh appetite for what they would perceive as fairness or compassion that sort of thing uh now looking at america uh it did come out of the enlightenment era of course whereas australia new zealand or post enlightenment but uh judging for what you've said in your analysis of america's desire for stronger uh lockdown policies and this is a general uh thing what you're saying obviously doesn't mean all americans are going to want this but it sounds like uh you you categorized americans as being more freedom loving than fairness loving but on the basis of your perspective on what they want with these coded lockdowns it sounds like they're not really all that much interested in freedom they would much rather have the australian or new zealander perspective here that fairness uh standpoint so perhaps then what could say that in analyzing your argument that as you compare american fairness to uh excuse me american freedom to australian fairness nowadays it's not even an act comparison in terms of what most people in america want yeah i think america is probably less uh freedom loving today than 20 years ago in part because the demographics have changed but also rhetoric can hang on after its reality on the ground has diminished so i think we still have tremendous american rhetoric about freedom when when perhaps that doesn't reflect on the ground reality is say it used to and then it also brings up the vision of the dissident right and where it differed from say republican free market principles and where paleo conservatism differs from from free market conservatism is the paleo cons and distant right they don't put necessarily the market first they want they want the market to serve the people rather than the people serving the market so if you're looking for a coherent society with higher levels of social trust where people basically trust their government and have good reason for believing that the government is is attempting to act in their best interests and the people collectively are willing to make substantial sacrifices in their individual freedom for the collective good that then perhaps there's something to be learned from australia because the the individualistic you know free market approach is is not the dissident right approach the distant right that the paleo [ __ ] we want to call back to a higher sense of community and more willingness to to give up uh some of our individual uh freedoms for the sake of of more communal feeling and and more communal participation and and a greater sense of cohesiveness and and trust with it with our fellow citizens so even if it increases the gnp 10 percent to like import a million extra immigrants because of the decrease to social trust and social cohesion from from a trad right perspective that that would not be worth it we don't worship the god of gnp and so even if certain government policies perhaps even these covered restrictions which may uh reduce the gmp far more than say a free market approach but if this is in the collective self-interest if this protects lives uh perhaps perhaps there's something from to be learned even if these policies are wrong perhaps there's something to be learned from the willingness of australians to forego certain individual liberties uh for the sake of the uh the health of the community and there is something for us on stream labs uh before i get to it though i will say you know it's interesting talking about not so much australia or even fairness we're talking about the distance of paleoconservatives my i'm not obviously a member of either a group i'm a socio-political realist my views are all over the place even though they pull toward the right because i think that the right has a uh generally speaking and i have to say this is only generally speaking less utopian more realistic understanding of human nature than the left does although on issues like abortion the right certainly sounds a lot like left with some more uh utopian language which is i think frankly nonsense but uh looking at uh and america as it is uh and as we've said you know there's really not much cultural commonality no national poor of identity is the whole paleocon america first uh or even dissident right thing of uh you know like i said the game said in america first is that really just something that is nonsense i i don't see america first going anywhere since america can't even define itself coherently nowadays unless america first is supposed to mean uh you know let's try to find consensus among everyone who has american citizenship but that obviously is not with the american first movement whether it's a spouse by donald trump or nick flantas and these people obviously have very different takes on what america first is uh but uh it's obviously not in any case what america first boils down to so do you think that really america first today if one wants to have a sort of more traditionalist conservative or traditionally right-wing perspective of giving up one's rights to be part of the broader community if one looks at america where there's no real sense of community from sea to shining sea doesn't this whole uh paleocon uh dissident right uh uh uh how do i put this with the that america first thing doesn't that just become sort of ridiculous well it all depends on context everything's contingent so if we experienced another 911 you would see an upswell in patriotism and nationalism if the context change national identity and national feeling and communal feeling can be triggered so there are millions of jews who are completely indifferent to israel and then when israel won the 1967 war their their latent jewish identity was triggered so national identity is is fairly natural and it can be triggered and and if events change then people's reactions and identities will change so one minute people may put a priority on playing video games and getting laid and making more money but you have another 911 and people will start having block parties people will start gathering with their neighbors people will start flying the flag people start volunteering to fight in the armed forces people will start volunteering to visit old sick people so so events can change identities i i think that what you say certainly is how things have traditionally gone but as we've seen with covet something that really should bring people together metaphorically if not literally because of the nature of the disease uh it has not done so traditionally a time like a pandemic people do rally together in one way or another to support each other but it's only made america more divided i think that there were another 911 today it would only a further division uh within the country one side and blame the other side for it and it would create i think some really nasty stuff uh so uh socially politically maybe even economically so i think that america is sort of beyond this thing where people can come together in a time of crisis to rally around the common identity i would say certainly there is much more of an enriching coherent identity than being jewish regardless of which strain of judaism one follows regardless of what one's amount of jewish heritage is if any uh but there's certainly something much more inherent much more cohesive much more enriching about a jewish identity than a present day american identity which is is almost undefinable because nobody can really say what america stands for today in any sort of cohesive cultural uh or moral sense the country is very much at odds with itself well i i think it would have been conceivable the pandemic could have brought us together if if our political leadership and other leaders had had acted differently so for example in in australia the the government and the opposition uh rallied to to propose and and carry out policies around which there was coherence around which there was there was broad-based agreement so the the ruling conservative coalition and the opposition labor party essentially agreed on covered policies and so there weren't these political fights over cover such as you had in the united states so i think if if donald trump and republicans and democrats had played things differently we may well have had an upswell in in national feeling i mean look at what happened in europe where people were going on their balconies and singing together he didn't have that nearly as much in the united states but i think it could possibly have been triggered i just remember when i was in high school i didn't really give two hoots about my high school and then suddenly one day i had a different feeling and i suddenly i was like i was a proud placer hillman and i don't know exactly what happened but an identity which meant nothing to me suddenly got triggered one day near the end of high school and so i i still think that american national identity can be triggered to become to come to the fore uh a few things there before we do get to streamlabs uh i think that when one looks what happens what you mentioned in europe that's because these places even though they've had a great demographic change they still do have uh at some level a stronger national cultural identity than the us does and so even when they are in the situation of having their culture subjected to all these very strong alterations uh there still is something that binds them that could come up in a time of crisis to function uh as it did when you saw people singing on their balconies uh in australia certainly i don't think you eat i think you dispute this for a second uh there's much more of a macro culture a binding culture than you see in the us and that certainly helps people have more trust in their government and in each other to uh to to do things which are inconvenient in order to get through tough times in america i can't think what a national identity would be centered around today because uh different folks in different parts of the country have totally different conceptions of what it means to be an american some people even say being an american means you were born uh in north south or central america so everyone is an american therefore uh it's really uh america today it's very much a country found identity to an extent that you don't see in europe even countries in europe that have gone through extreme uh demographic change with the exception of germany germany i think is a country uh about as identityless as the us if not more so uh and obviously that was done because it's a form of atonement for nazism so people essentially looked at nazism in germany they said well any foreign patriotism is bad and they ran in the opposite direction uh and in america it got to the point where multiculturalism and other stuff made it uncool to sort of embrace the old anglo traditions and other things were emphasized as a result and that meant that people had nothing to bind them together and there have always been divisions in american society even when there was a very strong anglo-centric macro culture so it's it's uh the the lack of that culture today in many respects just made these divisions more apparent so i just don't see there as being a strong american national identity today uh that people could rally around uh i really don't you know the honest truth is that if california were invaded by mexico a lot of people in alabama and mississippi would be cheering uh and they would really be cheering uh likewise say if mobile alabama were attacked by cuba and cuba mound of occupying mobile and they crossed over to mississippi and they got biloxi a lot of people in washington state in seattle would be cheering they would be and that's because the national identity of this country has become that weak well i i donald trump just came out of the blue in 2015 i never thought he had a chance until i i watched a rally that he did in alabama in something like august of 2015. i i just started watching it and i saw his plane they showed his plane circling to land and suddenly just looking at his plane i started to get a shiver and then watching the pageantry unfold and the screaming people and then jeff sessions coming on stage and then donald trump talking about the power of genetics and i i i was all a quiver i was like chris matthews i found a thrill running up on my leg it was like whoa i'm not somebody who cares about politicians i've never enjoyed watching politicians speeches i've never cared about political pageantry that much but donald trump somehow was able to tap into something primal and i remember his last rally in in the 2020 campaign when mike pence i think just gave a beautiful prayer in i think lansing michigan and that last rally where i had this doom sense that the the trump presidency was over and and i had a few tears watching that final rally he he was able at times to tap into something primal not just me but in millions of people and the make america great again movement that the devotion that millions of people had to that movement i think reflects that there is still a national feeling out there that can be stimulated i think tucker carlson taps into it at times and so i think a a wise smooth kenny operator with the with pageantry skills can can possibly tap into it again and and all sorts of identities are latent waiting to be to be made active i mean think about the person who's been sexually dead for five years 10 years 15 years they have a sexual interaction and suddenly they're a sexual being they are completely transformed they've got sex on the mind they're having regular sex their identity has completely changed prior to this they were just a stockbroker with a whole bunch of obligations and now suddenly they feel alive because some part of themselves which was dead for 15 years has overflowed like a volcano and that can also happen with nationalism though i also take your points no it absolutely can happen with nationalism i will say that what you say about the sentiment which trump conveyed it's absolutely correct it did happen but i don't think that's really a national sentiment i think it's a nostalgic sentiment for an america that did exist culturally nationwide during the time of say fast times at richmond high i i think that it is something uh about a memory that people have of america rather than america which exists today and one should also note that the sort of nationalistic sentiment which trump absolutely did awaken in people and also perpetuate within them uh it was something that alienated uh a greater number of people because even though we had different views on legitimacy of the election in certain states we both agree that there's no question joe biden beat trump massively in the national popular vote and so i think that the nationalism was trump represented the nationalistic sentiment which you speak of absolutely it's there but it's not really nationalism it's really uh something of of a cultural memory that only applies to certain regions of the country uh and uh you know not even in many cases the game state region more like certain counties within states within a region of the country uh so it's really an interesting uh really an interesting matter i don't think it's enough to provide a sort of uh broad-based uh left-right spectrum-based agreement on american culture or identity going forward with trump represented but certainly he did tap into something profound i think really it's rooted in nostalgia for what does seem to be nowadays a better time well i think he squandered many of the emotions and devotions that he he brought out so by being so childish so so petty he was undercutting the the transcendent magnificence and primal power of his message so it's a shame that he was such a flawed vessel at the same time he was also a master of pageantry so i think much of the opposition to trump was not in opposition to the nationalism and the pageantry but it was in opposition to his erratic childish egocentric and unappealing uh petty aspects of his character i think that if you look at what the democrats brought out at the 2020 dnc uh it's clear that they did have an opposition to anything beyond trump uh but to the sort of sentiment that he was conveying that pageantry i think they absolutely their aesthetics and in the philosophy behind those aesthetics i think the democrats really dislike that sort of traditional americana what i call norman rockwelli in america uh perspective and i think that it absolutely appalled people i think people on the left and the right make too much of trump as an individual uh really trump is a creation of the times in which we live at least his political career as his business career as a creation of a time gone by but his uh his political career is the creation of this era and it's an era of polarization and so make america great again was perceived uh regardless of whether him or somebody else saying uh by people who like the idea of going back as something good or something positive something wonderful but then again uh people on the left uh perceived as something bad something awful because they dislike where this country has been and when you have a country that polarized you cannot have a coherent national identity because it's a hot and cold kind of thing and obviously the two are not going to meet uh with any degree of success well i think that that trump showed a winning formula for for republicans going forward and so if someone competent takes his formula i i think they could achieve great things like if ted cruz were competent and he was able to to use trump's formula and he he got into power he may well be far better at governing than trump uh now getting to streamlabs i'll just say quickly i don't think tech groups could ever win a national election and i think it's going to be more and more difficult for any republican to do so because of changing political demographics but getting to streamlabs because there is some stuff there uh for us now which i'm just uh refreshing the page actually to get all of it i i don't want to miss a syllable of it uh from row house uh let's see here uh where do kato and luke ford think the usa will be in 10 years best guess in relation to china and electoral politics well i think the us will obviously still be here i think that in electoral politics the democrats will have basically a solid majority for presidential elections while the u.s senate and the u.s house will be much dicier i think those will still be immensely competitive i think that in terms of uh the usa uh in relation to china i would say the chinese will have much more power domestically in terms of their control over the american economy i think they'll have exerted far more influence in the south china sea and i think they will be uh certainly thought of as an unambiguous superpower by that time uh although it still will be i think a multi-polar world won't be like china's running the whole world uh and in 10 years i think america will be even more divided i think it will be a place that is looked upon as some place of perpetual social conflict and i think that the country itself will be very much at odds with itself even more than it is today luke anything to say about what row house brought up yes i i don't believe that china will exist as we know it in 10 years i believe that china will have fallen apart it will have divided up and possibly gone into catastrophic civil war costing tens of millions of lives so i don't believe that uh china is long for this world i believe that i do not believe we'll be living in a multipolar world i believe that we'll be living in even more of a unipolar world than we're living in now i believe the united states will be more powerful vis-a-vis its competitors in 10 years than the united states is today i believe that essentially the united states will be a rogue nation that will simply dictate uh how things will work and there will be certain alliances the united states will have such as with mexico with canada with australia japan and the united kingdom and all those countries essentially have to be vassals of the united states and in exchange for that they get to have some special relationship with the united states but i think the united states will set the terms of what goes on in the world even more decisively in 10 years and look for china to completely fall apart and uh devolve into civil war i would guess in the next 10 years i just want to reiterate my point because in 10 years time i think people will be watching this or listening to it that i disagree with what luke just said just to be as clear as possible about that from row house do you guys believe in the terms moderate or centrist uh do you guys believe in the terms moderate or centrist matter much anymore do you guys see yourselves as centrist or moderate on some issues also was bill clinton a moderate i tend to think of him as one clinton was moderate relative to today's democratic party he's also relative to obviously the left-wing of the democratic party during his own day and age he was always centered left but you could say he was a moderate but but once certainly he leaned leftward uh but he is still i understand a very technical basis of moderate all the same and certainly a moderate relative to today's democratic politics and relative to the left wing of his time in obviously the uh 1990s to early 2000s uh now also as to whether or not i see myself as centrist or moderate on some issues my political views are all over the place as i said they generally do pull toward the right though uh on some issues people might see me as a centrist other feels some on other issues some people might see me as being uh very clearly on the right on other issues people he would call me a liberal or a progressive or whatever but no i'm a sociopolitical realist uh it's hard to say i'm a centrist or a right-winger or anything like that because my views are just so much all over the place so i wouldn't use any of those labels to describe myself uh but anyway uh now also is for k-max asked do i believe in the terms moderate or centrist and whether or not they matter much anymore they matter in the sense that people particularly left leaders who don't want to think of themselves as bernie sanders supporters they will call themselves moderates doesn't amount to much though because uh you know uh the people they vote for are going to vote generally as their party dictates and the left wing of the democratic party is ascended within the party itself so that's going to have more and more pull certainly the left-wing the democratic party today has more power than it did five years ago 2016 and that's a trend which is going to continue because of political demographic shifts so i think that for those people for those democrats who don't like the sanders eastern modern centrism still matter uh as terms i don't think they matter much beyond that even though some republicans do like to think of themselves as centrists or moderate but i think that as the country becomes more polarized the the entire concept of being a centrist or moderate has less and less appeal uh luke everything say about what rojas brought up yeah i think centrist or moderate has has power in some circumstances and in other circumstances it's a losing formula so sometimes it's a winning formula sometimes it's a losing formula like everything else it is contingent it is dependent on context time and place and and events so a moderate central stand may look magnificent one moment and look like weak t the next moment because events have changed but one one through line that i see is that you should not engage in rhetoric or behavior that energizes and arouses your opposition more than it energizes and arouses your supporters so i saw that trump did a lot of things that energized and aroused his opposition more than he energized and aroused his supporters and that's why trump lost trump lost the 2018 and the 2020 elections by losing the suburbs by 2 and i think that that's that's the problem and and i think that the alt-right flamed out because by doing things that uh titillated their supporters they they fired up their opponents to to a degree that was absolutely unfathomable to the all-right and the alt-right got absolutely crushed because they didn't think about the consequences of what they're doing so you could you could you know blast music from your window like late at night and and have complete disregard for your neighbors but there are probably going to be negative consequences to that so you can you can treat your neighbors badly one minute and you think yeah i got away with that because i'm such a powerful person but you have no idea of the whirlwind that you may be reaping through energizing your opposition there's no question that trump did supercharge his opposition but it's also worth noting that the democrats have been more and more supercharged by any republicans from 2004 onward uh because any republican presidential nominee has been increasingly demonized by the media which is ever more uh polarized ever more partisan and as a result of that uh people on the left tend not to hear any as much good stuff about republicans as they used to and saving people on the right they don't hear as much good stuff about democrats as they used to but especially on the left uh any republican from 2004 onward has been increasingly demonized by the press mitt romney who went out of his way to be inoffensive was demonized more than mccain was mccain went out of his way being offensive he was demonized for george w bush was uh and then donald trump came along and really did add fuel to the fire but at the same time uh even though he accelerated the trend the trend existed uh with or without him and i i think that uh the reason for this trend is because in the year 2000 so many people just could not accept the results of that election they were very sketchy by the way i'm not saying that they were actually that uh bush actually won that thing but uh the results were very sketchy people on the left felt uh that they had won and then been defeated and so as a result they in the media uh the left uh grew ever more angry toward the gop which began to be viewed as not only politically unfortunate but politically illegitimate and certainly that's where we're at today but on steroids so that's the situation there as far as the suburbs go the gop has been losing ground there since 1992 and trump just accelerated the trend of a lot of the same people who voted against him uh he either you know literally 2016 or by proxy in 2018 or literally again in 2020 a lot of them were on the fence with the gop to begin with a lot there was more and more people you saw in the media who were leaving the gop from the time of mccain onward uh because it was getting too partisan too nasty too mean toward barack obama and this whole thing is part of a cultural realignment we're in the educated uh suburban dwelling class and some urbanites as well a few rural people but it's mostly suburban and urban uh they find it less and less socially desirable to be affiliated with the republican party and trump absolutely did uh accelerate this trend he played a role in making what it is now it's not like he had no uh part in it but the trend has existed since 1992 uh and he simply accelerated it and there's no indication that it's going to stop anytime soon uh as a matter of fact it just got like i said supercharged in the 2000s and trump you know he cranked up to number 11. and it's just it's just a cultural shift away from the republicans traditional base of suburbanites or white-collar folks uh and these suburbanites whether trump is on the gop ticket or not are not going to vote for the republican party increasingly because they think it's morally defective and being a republican carries immense social even economic uh disincentives for them uh before we get on to the last thing here luke anything to say about what i just brought up yeah there's a socialist pollsters name i'm forgetting who says that prior to trump most most americans who were eligible to vote and did not vote were likely to vote for the democrats since trump most voters who are eligible to vote and don't vote much more likely to vote republican so i think there's been a sea change and unfortunately uh donald trump by deriding mail-in voting not only cost the republicans to senate seats in georgia but put the republicans on a bad path because i think most people who aren't voting in america and who are eligible to vote now would vote for republicans because i think the republicans have consolidated as the the party of working people and so i think that their prospects are much sunnier than what you think all right and now for the last uh thing here from row house if ever i could find it i'm trying very hard rojo so here it is uh for luke has anyone contacted you for a debate yet ethan ralph or frody uh from guide to culture i know you would do well in any debate you are signed up for oh thank you no no one's uh contacting me for any debates but uh i enjoyed debating so what what basketball or playing chess does for other people i i enjoy a hearty debate yeah it's interesting i know my debates i actually won an academic medal for um my performance in debate class back in the day i used to have it around here somewhere but i hope i didn't throw it out but anyway uh but no over the years i've come to see that debating really does not change much uh people's minds so i prefer dialogues conversations that i hope would uh in time at least make people more informed but uh you know a teacher zone some people love uh love uh debating and that's their prerogative here it is i can't believe i still have this old thing it's from speech class the old medal that i that i got for it but uh it's it's it's been some time but i never did throw it out i probably sometime at some point did not throw it out just because i didn't happen to have it nearby and there was some uh bag that was just thrown a bunch of rubbish into and that was important but i'm glad i did keep it uh but so no i i debating is something that i do have respect for something that i used to do quite well uh but at the same time over the years i've come to the conclusion that dialogues probably are better than debates because i don't think anybody's mind really gets changed by it today uh you're probably right i just uh i enjoyed them recreationally and intellectually i enjoy the challenge i'm not primarily an activist so i don't think in terms of activism but uh i i think of myself as he tries to pursue someone who tries to pursue truth even if he cuts against my my my tendencies for example i i recently read a book by a sociologist of medicine and the book was called diagnosis therapy and evidence conundrums in modern american medicine and this book says that uh people who become obese as adults uh not only don't have diminished lifespans they actually tend to live longer than skinny people now that completely goes against what i understood as reality but if that is the empirical truth i i embrace it so i noticed just before going on the show someone was tweeting wow if we just convince millions of americans to lose weight we we'd save millions of lies and if this book that i just read is is accurate that's not true and so i want to embrace truth even if it goes against my tendencies a very noble trait one that i think that i have and i hope that i actually do but i always try to identify the facts regardless of where they might lead because for me uh that i'm not satisfied until i believe that i actually understand the situation as it is even if that's not how i would like it to be anyway folks we have reached the conclusion of this episode it went longer than i thought it would but it went longer for good reason luke thank you very much for joining me tonight on the show yes thanks uh joseph i always enjoy talking to you i always enjoy speaking with you as well and i do wish to thank everyone for having tuned in uh and i'll even do

159YDMDyEFg	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=159YDMDyEFg	Young Jedi Adventures S1E1-13 Thoughts (SW show)	hello and welcome to my thoughts on season one episode one through 13 of young Jedi Adventures the Star Wars show in case the title didn't tip you off before I start please go into the after watching please go into the description box there's there are there's a link to donate to the sac after strike extremely important strike and there's also links to videos talking about why it's such an important strike and yeah um spoilers for everything Star Wars leading up to including this season in this video and let's get into it let's start with the shorts so yeah uh the shorts are less annoying than the rebels shorts you know lessons like teamwork believing in yourself learns to enter a mutually beneficial relationship with the bird rather than treating it as a nuisance Pirates are basically bullies good messages don't really have anything else to say about it so let's get into the first proper episode the young Jedi slash Yoda's mission so yeah the episode isn't part about learning to accept the help of others the value of teamwork and since it's a kids show the episode is about stopping a bully rather than like defeating a fascist Empire the way Rebels was Kai doesn't want to choose between getting his lightsaber back or helping Nubs so he fails to help Nubs and in order to succeed in this episode of the trio play a game of keep away with the seeds versus the Pirates and this time Kai chooses to help Nubs except losing the lightsaber so he's learned his lesson and is rewarded with Yoda's personal training lightsaber I appreciate that they keep calling it training lightsaber I I'm going to be talking about it in the review itself which I'll be recording after this but yeah everything suggests everything in the show suggests that they are not wielding actual lightsabers that are just like child's you know they're not wielding lightsabers the kind of lightsabers that Yoda would use you know because comparatively size wise they're about the the same they are actually using Sabers that can't cut anything it's just to so they get the feel of a lightsaber that brings us to episode two Nash's race day slash the Lost Jedi that's that's the Lost Jedi not the Last Jedi so I'm not going to finish that sentence I think that movie's underrated that's all I'll say anyway so so yeah Rayna the rich girl bullies Nash who is comparatively poor we can't use the force to win that would be cheating good message there's a Wilhelm scream during the race I love it the waterfall is genuinely exciting I only cheated because I thought you were cheating this is true of a real a lot of real life situations as well and because Nash works with Reina they both get out of the mud much much quicker I really appreciate Nash is a good winner not like rubbing it in reina's face and that brings us to the second story of the episode I appreciate that the kids get permission and don't lie evading asteroids is fun and tense in a way that kids can handle where's the pilot it's me I'm the pilot it's me being brave means facing your fears very true and excellent message brings us to the third episode get well knob slash the junk Giant Nubs is six similar to how cindel is sick in the first Ewok movie something children can relate to add to that Liz gets distracted Kai has to get better at listening to Liz and there's the point made different people work well together that really is a gorgeous geyser we meet Marla it's communicated that even if something is junk seems worthless to you it's still not okay to steal it could put someone out of business and it's also worth noting you know the Pirates are stealing because they feel like it not because they have to they're you know later in the season I forget I want to say the character's name or with two r's or maybe Ori you know he steals but only to get by not because he just feels like it you know again here Pirates are basically bullies so yeah we see that the Pirates were the ones stealing they built a junk giant which gets a Droid designation by the end which you know yeah the the easier to sell toys with and the bullies are proven to be cowards as is the case with a lot of real-life bullies episode four Liz and the Snowy Mountain Rescue slash attack of the training droids in this episode Liz and Jammer not quite careful enough it causes some trouble so they learn that lesson clever to signal with the flute and the first story of the episode ends in a snowball fight it's not about being fast you have to take your time so they're asked to clean up but Kai would rather they practice he programs three droids to handle the chore I watched the original Fantasia including the segment The Source Apprentice recently and I get the sense that someone working on this episode did too cool ending with them managing to win and I just realized I meant to say at the top of this I have gotten you know I've read multiple articles some say that there are you know there's at least one article that says there's 25 episodes total for this season at first they just put up seven and it was a little while before they put up another six I don't know exactly when or I guess even if they're going to put up the last eight 12 the last 12 episodes if or when I will do a video at that point and the um [Music] yeah and I'm I'm doing right uh the the review of explain in and yes so that brings us to episode five the jelly fruit Pursuit slash creature Safari it did make me chuckle when one of the Jedi says sorry in a tough voice you know they're they're posing as like tough people and one of them I think it's Kai accidentally bumps into someone else and you know at first he's in in his normal voice he apologizes and then I think it's Nash says remember we have to be tough and he still says sorry because it's ingrained but he like lowers his voice as yeah made me chuckle they're really Hammer home the message share not steal they do the neolib thing of sharing with everyone even your enemies did not need to hear the jingle three times in just one episode I appreciate the message here that you should not fear what you don't know you should learn more about it when Kai and Nubs wear berries they look somewhat feminine and it isn't treated as a bad thing though it is done out of necessity not that they feel more comfortable that way it is still a trans positive message and right and I just realized I haven't actually said um yeah I think all the episodes so far are great you know they're they're not made for me but I can appreciate the yeah they're they're quite well made and yeah I'm gonna in these couple of videos where I talk about the show I'm gonna try to not get distracted by my personal preferences because this was clearly made for children and that's great I I think it makes sense to make Star Wars content that's purely for children and I certainly prefer for them to make separate stuff like this and the Ewok movies to just straight up putting ewoks in the Jedi Return of the Jedi it brings us to episode six Squadron slash Forest Defenders this episode again underlines the importance of patience even if you're really excited about something and yeah the the space slug makes an appearance of course seen in Empire Strikes Back and the second story of this episode has a pro nature message that feels right out of something from the 80s with good guy characters providing someone evil from cutting down trees for money but as long as it's still happening in the real world I think it does make sense to keep telling the story in fiction and that brings us to episode seven the Jedi and the thief slash the missing cabin Kai has to learn there's more to being a Jedi than fighting Pirates learns that Zia was also very excitable when she was his age and okay that can wait um let's yeah she broke a lot of speeder bikes because this is an American production there is of course a handy ramp as they engage in Chase Kai is very surprised to learn that znos Ace the Twisted angle is the scariest looking film the show so far teaches Kai people are not purely good or evil it's more complex than that which is great for Star Wars kids and Star Wars kids and then we get to the second story of the episode bouncy Hunter is looking for someone's pet has to learn to be nice to people you catch more flies with honey than vinegar Anson strong I have to admit I at first I thought oh it's like you know can't believe I'm Blakely on his name I'll have it momentarily because I know exactly what he appeared in Danny DeVito at first I really thought Danny DeVito but apparently it's John DiMaggio who is also very talented and when Anson is struggling with the cabin because it's just too fast for him he gets let's see yeah the cabin gets on top of his head and let's see yeah you're at grabs for it but it's gone very much reminded me of that classic Donald Duck cartoon where he's in a forest I forget if it's a rainforest wants to enjoy Pleasant bird singing but he keeps being interrupted by a very loud obnoxious bird that he then struggles to get rid of you know an earlier episode was partially inspired by Fantasia 1940 really loving these vintage animation references and the pet owner is very grateful and I think that's Reina the rich girl Nash raced against in an earlier episode catching a Lost Pet is harder than it looks I don't know it was pretty hard to watch I'm kidding and Anson is now really embracing being nice buying food and drinks for the Jedi younglings so there's you know character growth good to see episode 8 the girl and herd Gargantua slash The Show Must Go On and this is about how even the scary creatures get scared in fact especially them and how about how even if you're worried people will get mad at you when you admit you made a mistake it's still important that you admit it and that's of course something very important to you know teach children I really appreciate the episode makes it clear to the audience but in the very start that the gargantuan is not dangerous we see Liz can soothe it so each time for the rest of the episode when we see someone scared of it we know that their you know if they're mistaken it's not actually dangerous it even ends up saving the Two Sisters which tells everyone it means them no harm and the second story is about the importance of friends listening to each other even the song is about not going solo complain of those Nash forever and ever yeah that movie completely ruined I I can't hear people saying come play with us and not think that I'm really glad I watched it and yeah that brings us episode nine The Princess and the Jedi slash Kai's bad day so you have this Royal barely ever gets to do anything by herself people are always doing things for her and because this is set in Star Wars Universe people underestimate the princess we lost lateral controls we are unable to make a lateral move and it wouldn't change anything anyway see people can surprise you yeah honestly why wouldn't you let this privileged young person have complete control of a spaceship and actually telling me you don't want her to have complete complete control of Twitter I'm sorry X either I'm joking obviously there's almost nothing they have almost nothing in common it's just spaceship you know let letting a young privileged person have control those spaceships that's yeah and that's it for the first story of this episode so my favorite thing about this show is undoubtedly that a recent Star Wars story didn't feel the need to include Tatooine now time for the Second Story shadowing wonderful I'm kidding it's fine that is one bad day excellent message that you solve it by trying to focus on something positive again something very important to teach kids I've never seen Jaws be intimidating before but yeah they're the size of the Little Children characters of if there's enough of them and only a few kids that'll do it [Applause] and episode 10 of visitors day slash the growing green danger Liz has to learn it's okay to ask for help another game of keep away do something I mean that sure is something Second Story of the episode I must have lost track of time AKA American Media teacher syndrome You observe the plant and determined what it needed how how could he forget this is at least the third time you say it in this one episode again I'm playing up I'm not actually frustrated by these episode 11 the gangles slash Bad Eggs so yeah Ori doesn't have money for food and thus has to resort to stealing happens in real life and people like that deserve our empathy and the town stands up to the Belize that the game represent creature sure like sap let's put on all the Hallmark movies we can you've got to come down I am calm and episode 12 off the rail slash the thieves of thornika the Jedi are fighting homelessness great maybe it was thought to be too early to tell the kids their real life homelessness is not purely about whether or not there are buildings that the homeless could stay in it's also the profit motive that poisons it but on the other hand maybe it's Disney not being willing to go the the whole way in favor you know they they certainly follow the profit motive what are you doing this is no time for sitting and I won't stand for it we learned there's more to tableware than we knew and the second story of the episode features a gungan but at least the racism and the depiction is much less aggressive than the prequel movies one of the messages is that people in the past of your people is worth far more than money I like it and that brings us to the last episodes that has so far been released episode 13 tree troubles slash Big Brothers Bounty so yeah rank slow is added again great to see more Pro nature message right uh I can't claim that I didn't chuckle when Nash was like well it doesn't seem shaky now and then like knocks on it and then it shakes it's like what did I do just it's a it's a classic gang and ragslow says I'll be fine I only care about you know and I only care about profits like it's it's yeah 100 like you know I realize I rephrased that slightly but that is that's what he's expressing you know and yeah they point out about balance in nature and then we get to the Second Story which I believe is also the title of house two the horror comedy sequel we meet Senna strong the sister of Anson strong and there are a lot of characters in American Media that have some masculine traits and some feminine traits this is I I'm not saying this is the only one but recently we've seen that it's not always depicted as being negative for for a while like there's a lot of 80s like sitcoms and such where it would be treated as a negative like you know you can't you you have to be either you know you if you're assigned male at Birth you have to be masculine if you're assigned female at Birth you have to be feminine never the twain shall meet and here it's actually like At first I thought oh they're gonna make jokes because she looks just like Anson but she's somewhat feminine but they don't actually like the thing with her is not the the fact that sometimes she's feminine sometimes she's masculine that's just who she is you know and nobody's actually bothered by that like they're bothered when she's like intimidating people that's treated as bad so so yeah you know I'd like to think that some non-binaries felt really seen here you know as well as some trans and honestly some CIS and yeah one of the messages is everyone messes up sometimes so Anson is overconfident Cena is not quite confident enough I feel like out there somewhere there's a Goldilocks strung and yeah the kind of funny when when the the ah crap I forget the the name of the creature but the thing is you know it's right behind Anson but he can't yeah he he's not realized it yet you know and and the you know I I think it might be sent someone like points and says the the was it baldy lacks and he said yeah that's what I'm looking for just just yeah and then eventually it's right back to me isn't it and yeah you know he got so caught up in his work he forgot about his family which yeah a lot of kids media has that message and it is you know again as long as it keeps happening it's still although you know it is Rich for Disney to say oh you know don't worry that much about work well you're you know you're part of this capitalist machine that forces them to work extremely hard so just yeah you know the message instead of being like you shouldn't forget about your family it could be we should treat workers better so they have time for their family but but yeah you know Senna points out you know she has now learned that mistakes are chances to get better and yeah love to see it I don't really have much else to right there were a couple of voice cast rack slow is played by Haley Joel Osmond yeah Sixth Sense AI artificial intelligence paid forward that Haley Joel Osmond Gary Anthony Villa Williams voices Zephyr I I am never ever going to complain about Gary Anthony Williams voicing Star Wars that's he's perfect for it and I think that is more oh right right um there was one more very cool that Nasim pedrod voices Zia gotta say this is very unlike you know I've other than this the only thing I've seen that she's in is Scream Queens so yeah this is quite quite different but she does really well in both she's in the Aladdin remake yeah I suppose it's possible that at some point I will watch that I'm really not intending to do a video on it though and that is it yeah um so let me know in the comments what was your you know do you have a favorite episode did you know how how do you feel about something so child oriented as part of Star Wars although I'm not sure it's been confirmed to be Canon you know Yoda is there there's a couple of things that you know anyway uh yeah that's it for this one so May the force be with you	Solid shows, feels films & great games	UCcbQhGfazPkanEpJVaxyAdg	2023-08-15	Creative Commons

AQW AdventureQuest Worlds	here's a quick video on how to get the seasonal lesion token farming pet a very good pet to have and you can get it for free if you're a member of the lesion let's get right into it alright this is an old farm pet I think I already saw that if you click on this helmet it changes you can see what's below Dasia skull that's not actually in that's just a pet pretty cool pet and it's only available during March during Daisy's birthday day just birth day starts at the beginning of March and runs till the end of March and so it's available for about a month a year it's seasonal so it goes away after that and how you get it is a /join / owner future war gage all one word of course I'll take you to this map now I don't know if you have two requests or anything here I don't think you do because I think it's over and done with you should be able to just open up this shop there is a bunch of cool stuff in here I'll quickly show you all of it a lot of helmets I don't go through all why I can just quickly go through all them so there's a really cool merge stuff you can get here and really cool case I recommend this one this anime it looks really good when equipped and in the pet category of course you have the Shogun Paragon you can click on the money's in the merged shop too so as 2k Legion tokens if you don't know a quick way of getting leash tokus also I was here which is a decent house for 2k tokens now if you're brand new to the lesion and you just joined the best way to get tokens is /join I'll show you do the quest for the pet second tread rock so there's the best way to get leeching tokens when you don't have a pet so if you want to get those 200 lesion tokens to get to this pet of course you have to initially join the Legion and if you do this quest here 6 kills gets through 5 tokens so you can quickly get the 2k with a bit of grinding I think it takes roughly like 3 or 4 hours of grinding and then once you do have the pet you click on him in the chest area and he has some quests no it's going for 50 tokens and 1 for 20 and he also has this top one which gives you a support which you know you can do that but I'm not going to show you do that in this video kits not really important so to do these you want these quest you want to slash join f o T I do yeah look to yeah I think so like that now I just run up here and you can farm in the location and I show you so this room works just leave you the quest drops killers get fast enough there you go see click on him go see where 3 1 3 so you just keep farming in here and eventually you'll have enough to turn in I'll keep farming until I could turn it now what I recommend you do while you're farming is just go in swap rooms so just keep fighting in this room till you kill everything and once you kill everything go down fight in this room till you feel everything go back up and fight in this room tell you everything and just keep doing that that's probably the fastest way you can get this quest done and this will be a lot faster than any other way of getting lesion tokens so sadly they didn't give us a rare version of Elysion token farm pet this year at least not yet but at least we got this version that you can get every year ok so you can't do all the farming in one room if you want to get the 20 token quests done which isn't really that important but you have to run up a few rooms so it's like two rooms above the one that I showed you above the second one so if I can get actually get out of here and you gotta fight those guys I was just fighting to do the 20 token quest and alright so I finished the 51 we can say that in right now so it works the hundred percent of time you get 50 tokens click yes and you can do it again just accept it again I'm not sure if that over stacks I'm sure someone can answer in comment section but I'm pretty sure it does at least a little bit maybe once or twice but you might have to turn it every time I'm not a hundred percent sure on that so that's how you get the new two new quests how to do it and yeah good luck with your farming along the legion tokens I'll see you guys all next video leave a like if you liked it subscribe to the channel for more videos like this and I'll see you guys all please	Korey	UC6Cxui4zswMMokMfswIWeMg	2018-03-03	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	894	4,245

movement um we're all very excited to present this um resistance and Latin America panel it's going to be followed by a keynote round table you can read about it in your program here it has dinner and drinks after we hope you'll stay for that too and then tomorrow we have another series of very exciting panels um that we hope you all will attend so without further Ado um go ahead okay um so I'm going to be discussing SL facilitating moderating the panel and I'm just going to introduce people by their name and University affiliation before they start so actually we speaking the order in which they in the program so we have Kelly Bower first from George Washington University speaking about um the experience of in with the and the relation is this does that work pretty small anyways um first of all I just wanted to thank the coordinators of this we're putting this together um there aren't so many Latin americanist at GW so I was very excited to find people that you know kind of are on the same wavelength as I am um like you can see my project is called setting an example of the chain government's recent experience is processing mapuche land requests and my goal in this is to try and understand how the government is responding to the demands of the makucha indigenous community so you can see in that red area that's where um now you would say the majority of the makuchi community lives although a lot have um moved to to more urban areas um and there as you might know there are lots of conflicts over land I would kind of say that's where um the the difficulties arise from and it's all about which land is historically claimed as as rightfully muuch land this has escalated to internationally publicized hunger strikes allegations of terrorist ISM you might have heard of some of these more um politicized issues but I'm focusing on kind of I guess what I would call the base of the the demand to the request for land and my main question is how do a group's mobilization efforts affect government decision- making so I'm really trying to figure out what is the outcome of these of these efforts so obviously this ties into the social movement literature and the difficulty of trying to understand outcomes or success or any of that sort of um any of that sort of definition um so I chose to look at something very specific and very concrete um so the demand for land and whether the government has responded to that or not um this also feeds in a l a little bit to the state disent literature and this is how I use to this is the literature I use to try and get at how I would expect the state to respond so understanding the costs and benefits involved to the government and trying to maximize um their ability to govern the particular area that's kind of the the bias I go into it with um my argu arent is that to decrease the potential of future threats the government creates an example out of mapuche groups engaging in more violent mobilization tactics by prioritizing the demands of a neighboring groups by prioritizing the requests of a neighboring group's demands so I'll go into a little bit more of that detail um but another point I wanted to make is just that the the state dissident literature usually focuses on the the actions and the demands of the group that's presenting the demand as one and the same so I'm trying to separate that of part and distinguish between the actions that the group takes versus how the government responds to the demands so in this case um the separation between the the tactics that they use to mobilize and the actual land requests that they're trying to fulfill so just some backgrounds on the situation that I'm looking at um in 1993 Chile passed an indigenous law and among a lot of other things um what's important for this project is it gave the indigenous Ministry konali the authority to resolve land disputes so when there was a mapuche community that had a historical claim to a section of land it created this institutional path that they could use to go through to receive that land back um the vast majority of these requests are approved it requires a significant amount of of paperwork and kind of tracing back the claim that that Community has and the ties they have to that section of land so the majority of them that are completed are approved so you can see since 1994 only 27 have been denied um the problem though is that there's a big difference between approving and implementing um that land transfer so as you can see only 16 have been resolved per year which as of 2010 which is as far as um I could get the data for 582 are still pending resolution so I'm really trying to get at what does it take for the government to act on that demand and Implement um that reform the dependent variable that I'm looking at is the amount of money the government paid for a particular piece of land and you can see some of the range in that um and the way that I I started to analyze this this just shows each dot is each land transfer that the government has on record so this is the whole um this is the whole range each dot includes every single land transfer that's happened from 94 to 2008 um and as you can see most of these land requests are resolved as you may expect so I did OS regression on this and the major the vast majority of the variation can be explained by the number of families the location of the land where it's area where it's located um the number of families um some of those kind of basic indicators explains the majority of this variation that you see there um the two that I have labeled and kind of what I what the main story of this project is is um the Deviant cases and why is the government willing in some cases to go far above and beyond what we would expect based on how many acres of land how many families are involved what location the land is on um so the two cases that are labeled are the the cases that I analyzed in more detail here um and in my paper some more some more description of the the methods I use to reach that but these are by far the two most extreme cases so you can see the one in 1999 that was approved um based on again those indicators of the quantity of land the number of families location some of that um the expected price the government would pay for the land was $1 million in actuality it was 3.6 million and for the one in 2002 estimated to be 2 million um and 3.4 million was the actual price that they paid so you can see the difference at least the the variables that I have included and the variables that the government makes available um don't explain why they spent so much money on that particular section of land so the case studies I'm using to try and figure out um what additional factors aren't accounted for in those in that data that um the government makes available which obviously is fairly limited so the big story here like I mentioned before is that um each of those two deviant cases there's always a story of two communities next to each other making claims to land that's next to each other um the difference is that one engages in much more violent mobilization strategy so would be illegally occupying the land um encounters with the police hunger strikes some more of those um more drastic measures and the neighboring Community is much more um much more passive you would say something like um like mobilizing in the capital peaceful protest um there's no direct engagement with the police um so the story for the one that was um returned in 1999 there was an international corporation that was holding the land that the the chuma Puchi communities had historical claims to um again one engaged in much more peaceful protest the other one much more violent um and some of you may be aware there's some um um disagreements over whether to call some of these actions terrorism or not um but regardless of whether say this does not count as terrorism um but eight mapuche community members of the one engaging more violent measures were put in jail during this time so not necessarily terrorism but it is indicative of them taking more more drastic measures um this all started in February of 2000 um no sorry February of 1999 um by March of 2000 the community that was engaging in much more peaceful protest received their 2,000 hectares of land that they had requested um the other one is still waiting for their land so the government did not take that action to act on on their request that they had um in the future this had a big the difference between communities has had a significant impact on what the communities have done since so the community that received the land is is almost nonexistent online um it's very hard to find information about um mobilization or what activities they're engaged in whereas the one that was engaged continues to be very much um mobilizing in the same ways so the response of the government has kind of entrenched their demands and entrench the strategies that they used to achieve those the the second the 2002 case um the these are all images from from that struggle so same story there two communities next to each other um one started to engage much more peaceful protest to receive that land the other one more radical as you can see some of the the conflicts with police here um there continue to be stories of police entering the community um firing off rubber bullets their allegations of mistreatment of children so the same sort of story happens um the government returned the land of the more peaceful community not of the the other one and that that decision had a significant impact on the way the communities have continued to mobilize and interact with the government since um so just to conclude um the basis of this is that I'm trying to find um I'm trying to figure out what are the outcomes of social movements or not necessarily of social movements but of particular interactions between a group making demands and how the government is going to respond with that um the important part is to for me to recognize the the differences in how different groups mobilize and what demands they're making so in this case particularly the difference between the mobilization strategies of the two neighboring communities had a significant impact on how the government responded um so the government is trying to prioritize the demands of one in order to kind of take the to um to De incentive to to sorry to take away the incentive for more radical mobilization so showing that there's some priority to more peaceful um interactions with the government in some ways I think this says something about the Chilean government is somewhat successful the vast majority of mapuche communities are not engaging in violent mobilization and they do work through very institutionalized um means of relating to the government and attempting to resolve their demands however for the communities that haven't worked through this process and haven't received their demands it's entrenched those and kind of further radicalized the steps that the community is willing to take in order to receive their jands um in terms of future research um a lot of this comes down to data collection what I have is only based on what the government publishes it's obviously very limited in terms of what the community looks like what the bigger political economic structure looks like um so that is avenues for future research but I look forward to whatever other comments you have thank you so for the sake of time in a full discussion I'm not actually either I'm not going to respond now or ask other people to respond we're going to have everyone's respective which you'll see as we go that certain people are studying similar regions or similar kinds of protest resistance destruction so it'll make sense actually when you everyone together so next we have Leslie finger har also talking about Chile but flashing forward last hi my name is Leslie finger um I'm going to tell you a little bit about my work in progress exploring the roots of the chain winter house sing issues shape political participation um and for anyone who happened to read the paper it has sort of evolved since the paper so um it's not going to be exactly what you read um and in particular I'm working right now on sort of like Theory building so any ideas about along the theory line of things would be much appreciated okay so I'm going to talk a little about um my motivation for writing this paper um possible explanations for these protests um the theory I want to propose um some preliminary results and then some next steps okay so this paper was certainly motivated by the chain winter which is the name given for the huge student protests that occurred uh Our Last Summer so starting around May 2011 um that really haven't been resolved and they lasted for months and they were huge um and they were really um a response they were really about Chile's highly privatized for-profit education system um so and they were notable people you know in the media they were notable for having been like the biggest uh movement since uh the 80s under the dictatorship um so really a notable thing that people up here have been paying attention to okay but this raises several questions um first why now this system has been around since the early 80s um you know so what explains why suddenly people are upset about it or why suddenly they're mobilizing over it um and why protest Chile is considered uh one of the more healthy democracies in Latin America um it's considered to have strong institutionalized parties with deep historical and societal Roots so why aren't people like voting you know why aren't they um expressing their demands that way and then to tie these two questions together um how can we explain how participation has changed over time so how did these people go from being voters to being protesters if we can sort of zoom out a little bit okay so there are several explanations in the literature and in the media when you read about um what this when you read about this movement some people sort of like to say it's really a generational thing this is the first generation to come of age in democracy so they're not afraid of repression and maybe they're disillusioned with uh Chilean consensual politics so that's one possible explanation okay um then in the social movements literature there's quite a bit about sort of more structuralist reasons that um this movement has to do with maybe like changes um in society and in the economy have led to um more uh Salient frustrations sort of different changing relations between people um so we might relate this to inequality in Chile's case and then another possible explanation is this has something to do with diffusion right this seems a little Eerie that this happened like right around the same time as the Arab Spring and the uh crisis in the Euro Zone and all that so I'm I don't dispute that any of these might have some interesting things to say um but I'm more interested in thinking about how we can talk about institutions and the government so there's a large body of literature in um what we call like political process School to that looks at something called political opportunity structures and I want to build on this approach so political opportunity structures um are kind of a fuzzy Concept in the literature um but I would point to two clear definitions of what this is so um kitel in a seminal 1986 work that looks at um movements anti-nuclear movements in the 70s uh talks about that political opportunity structures are really institutions um and that um they shape how movements behave and the outcomes they have for my purposes I'm interested in um his definition as to how uh you how how movements behave so he has this whole thing about um whether they're open or closed so whether institution whether political opportunity structures are open or closed are going to affect the strategies that a movement takes and so an open political opportunity structure would be something like having lots of parties um being able to get your voice into the legislature getting being able to get your bill in front of Representatives and so in those cases we might see voting more because people like feel like they have voice right they're more access points um a closed political opportunity structure would be one where there aren't those things there are fewer parties it's harder to get people to listen to you so those would be ones where we'd see people protest a different sort of definition of this concept um is probably more prevalent and this is more that political opportunity structures are kind of informal like changes in the ruling Alliance or TI and power um and these these would these just inspire people to come together and overcome Collective action and form a movement so I I kind of have a problem with both of these um I think the first is a little too deterministic if it asks do with institutions then wouldn't we see places with open political opportunity structures never having protest and we see places with closed ones always having protest and then the more tarot second definition is a little bit ambiguous it's like hard to measure it and hard to know it and see it and then both of these really are like don't take a stance on how the issue plays a role both of these definitions sort of take as given that there's some grievance and there's some issue and they don't think about that the issue might affect how movements mobilize so okay so this brings me to my theory so I would like to tie in I would like to make a conceptual amendment to this uh this concept so I think that um Kel's open close division that um movements respond to access points being available is really valuable but I think it needs to be tied to an issue okay so I think I I think a political opportunity structure is only relevant um its openness or closedness is only relevant as it pertains to an issue so um I want to put forward a theory saying that the government um interacts with Salient issues to determine whether it's open or closed so this is kind of like the theory I want to I want to put forward so I think that there's when there's a Salient issue the government signal whether whether how whether it's going to take action on that issue whether it's open to hearing about this issue and then this creates a perception of whether the political opportunity structures open or closed and this determines individual's own willingness to participate so okay now as for the paper I have already written I'm sort of looking at how this first box connects to the last box so I want to so I've used a Latino barometer data from uh 2006 and 2007 which would be just at the beginning of when these education protests were starting to happen it was right around the penguin Revolution which was when a bunch of high schoolers started protesting in 2006 um and I want to see if we can see like whether there's a relationship between um issues and participation okay so turns out um I find that they are there is a relationship between them so um when I look at these two years you find that people who are discontent with um the education system in 2006 are more willing to vote whereas in 2007 they're more willing to protest so to help you see that a little bit here I'm taking um first differences from a loic regression on all these different these are all different outcomes um and you see in 2006 that somebody who's unhappy with education um with the education system is more likely to want to vote and this is sort of like an how I operationalized unhappiness with education which is maybe not so important for right now however for 2007 you see a little bit of a shift so here you see that actually people are more likely to people who are dissatisfied with education are more likely to want a protest or petition than uh than somebody who's not dissatisfied with education and then this um this figure over here are people who think education is a more important issue okay so so what I've done then is I've sort of like there's clearly like some middle thing missing here there's some middle maybe I want to say shift in how people are perceiving the Govern the um openness or closedness of uh the political opportunity structure okay so this is sort of the work I need to do more of um I think that if you look at what's going on politically um in the education system how how um the government is dealing with education during this time you see that the government is signaling differently so in 2006 there are these huge um protests called The Penguin Revolution where all these high schoolers are protesting transportation fees and uh fees to pay for testing um and bashet the the president at the time responds by saying okay we're going to have a commission and she says we're going to take action on this we're going to work to think about a new law that repeals the P era law um and so I would say in this period it's the Poli opportunity structure is open and so people this is manifesting in people um perceiving voting as a viable Avenue um however by 2007 when I did the uh second regressions there's widespread dis dissatisfaction the law is stalled in Congress um the law doesn't quite reflect what a lot of people wanted so I would contend that the reason we see this shift in attitudes is that people are actually starting to perceive the um political opportunity structure as closed and unfortunately I only have these two years of data it'd be cool to you know do up to 2011 up to the recent protests but I think you start to see the shift in perceptions of the plal structures absent any like institutional shift as Kell would tell us are important and things like that so that's what I have I'm I'm really looking forward to hear any comments anyone has thanks okay and then next we have well we're sitting in a different order but suppos we who's from Cornell University um speaking about actually both Brazil and and and just interesting to note here aside from some of us being um phds or PhD students turns out from myself to the left we're all also lawyers which is funny that we just discovered uh well I am B fellow at University that I Sal University and the agricultural Sciences I'm a lawyer and really working with a issues today so the ideas that I want to present here and to H share with you guys are related to what is going on in the lands in Latin America and I guess in many other part of the world today in which we are witnessing the new struggles for the land in a way that remember as other moment in the history of capitalism and the AR that I want to put here is that uh both in literature and in our common understanding of movement we tend to classify movement as social movement even when they are dealing with many other issues so I would like to argue for the idea or the concept of social ecological movement and I would like to show some pictures of some examples of movements in Brazil and Chile that are really really trying to do it and I mean here that the people in the ground when struggling with when trying to do something different they don't separate the social from the ecological and one of the main articulations between the social and the ecological is through Labor and um when it come to labor I will focus on peasants peasantries and the prefigurative politics of peasants in sou America this is from Chile in 2009 people in the southern part of the country the same close to the area in which the nauchi conflict is taking place today and also one of the areas in which the which the forestry sector is the most developed in the country and the chin forestry sector is huge is one of the 10 five exporter of power to all over the world here in the US so it's there are a lot of forest resources from Chile actually and in this area there is a a big issue issue related to land so what people are trying to do today is to develop agroecology as a way to First confront the forestry sector and the Agro business sector and to give the possibility to the peasants in order to continue preserving the land and doing a use of the land that is highly ecologically based use of the land so what they're they are trying to do here is to for example in this experience is a visit to an AG eological Farm is to show from a very PR point of view how people can use land using fortunately I'm not sure if you can see the difference but the main point with arcology is to try to use the land in a way that combine different species is not a monocultural way of managing the land and what is interesting in this picture is that in the mountain there you have a big area that is very green and that's is what people in the ARs called the green desert those are pine plantations that are expanding all all over the country side and they are the basis of the power sector in the country and this is the way that people are trying to articulate these different um proposals meeting together sharing experiences and also making a lot of politics in the background and this NG try to connect pesan with students with professionals and other people that are trying to H Foster pesan economies or peasants ways of uh using the L right the second experience that I'm using in my case comes from Brazil and this is a pig that I took just three months ago in January and this is a camp of the landless movement in Brazil and behind the the 10 you have a huge um meal that is owned by an international company that is a picture of the contradictions of the Arian uh developing in Brazil today and this is what people are calling thean question if we remember the idea of agrarian question so we can start looking at for example Mars and the idea of thinking the capitalist agriculture well covering the European country sides then csky with this idea of thean question as something that was really destroying the peasantries and also the discussion about aarian questions and the role of peasants has been really important component of the historical trajectory of the critic of capitalism Lux CH and others can be REM here so I just put the issue of this discussion within the historical critic of capitalism as a matter that has been very related to the aarian question as a way to introduce this experient in Brazil because what is going on here is that if you look here two kind of monocultures right soybean in one case and core in the other mostly for export so this area is R Grand the same area in which the world social forum is taking place if you are familiar with that but if you go from ptoo to the country St you are going to see this kind of plantations and monocultures in many parts so as a contra yonic project peasants are getting together through cooperatives and they are again using AR col in order to manage the L and using different different species today they are able to produce a lot of food to deliver a lot of food for schools to throw political negotiations in rul and they're today doing something that can be regarded as some of the most interesting experiences related to peasantries because if you are familiar with the Brazil and a discussion on bioenergy and energy in the broadest sense uh today there are big efforts to use well basically food in order to produce energy right this is one of the way of um understand whole capital accumulation today try to really get new sources of energy in light of the peol and other energy scarcities um so I'm not going to get into the discussion of biofields but just to say that these peasants and their cooperatives are trying to produce ethanol 2o which for many people is quite a shocking experience right oh what are they going to do they are doing the same so my argument here is that they are not doing the same because basically they are producing ethanol just for own consumption and the surpluses will be delivered to the local communities through local markets right and the way they have to organize labor here is completely different so we have here a source of difference in relation to the H being ethanol and capitalist sector so peasant here and of course they have to negotiate this is uh micro distiller that they are using today h for doing it they needed some money right so they got some money from Petro us which is a big company but they argue saying that well this is a semi-state company and well somehow they need to get some technology in order to develop this initiatives so just making the comment because these issues are very sensitive in social movement right and social eological movement too so how is how are you getting the money to do it right this is a classical question in you know um well let's say um the struggle that social movement and social eological m have inside the movement I mean legitimacy issues not being cooped and things like that but they are managing it in a very good way because today they are getting the technology but still they are creating a network of micro distilleries in many parts and putting together peasants in order to produce for themselves energy or not producing because we can not produce energy but to produce bio energy or B Fuel through this experiences right so this is another uh picture from the same area here you have the micro distiller in the middle of the camp say that one is really nice because they at the same time that produce ethanol they produce sugar they produce kasasa too and they produce other uh things right and what I want to start finishing here is to makees two Okay right so what I'm trying to do in the paper which is very work in progress It's a little bit of work that I do beside PhD is to really think this question of Labor and ecology right um because the struggles that we have ahead are going to be very based on this idea of how to reconstitute the relationship between labor and ecology if we take social eological crisis seriously right I mean if people don't think here that we have social eological crisis going on so we can start discussing that but if I take it for granted that we delay that because of the historical trajectory of capitalism we are today witnessing big social ecological crisis we have to start thinking how can we organize labor and organize relation of consumption and production that can counter work capitalism and what person can do today is to to do something that other movement cannot actually which is to offer prefigurative politics that are related with productive autonomy right they can produce food and in the paper I'm quoting one of the pamphlet of this movement in Brazil which they say that because they can't produce their own food they are in a better position to face the economic crisis today right other workers cannot produce food so they can do whatever they need to do in order to get food one of the big victories of capitalism has been to separate food production from workers own lives right so I'm trying to make that argument too so these kind of contemporary struggles in South American country side are going to be very relevant not only for what is going to do happen with this community it can be very relevant what with what is going to happen with the alliances that they can generate in the future I'm thinking here in the traditional classical allance between the workers and the peasant right and then we can start discussing that kind of conflict but that effort in order to put together peasant and worker has been one of the main issues in Latin American politics in the last 50 years for example Chile cannot the the experience of the socialist government in Chile cannot be understood without thinking the allance between the peasants and the workers right it was a very complex Alliance I mean I'm not saying that things are fast easy here I'm just saying that we have here examples of people trying to think in this term and I think that this this is so relevant today and finally and if you are familiar with the work of AP Thompson maybe you are going to see the connection here and I'm talking about the historical making of social ecological movement and in this way I try to conceptualize what this movement are doing but I not not trying to do it for myself but I'm trying to work together with my uh friends that are trying to do these kind of things because we are realize all the time that in the countryside people don't see this differ I mean this binary opposition between the eological and the social or you are part of a social movement I am a part of ecological movement doesn't exist people in many case engage in both and in big part of the literature we still today try to think in term of the ecological movement there social ecolog there to make the separation all the time right so the final thing I would like to say that this has to do with history right I mean when historical materialism kind of forgot in history we got troubles at the theoretical level I would say so in order to recover the very basic idea of historical materialism in order to think historical processes through the lines of agencies and movement that are reconfigured and reconstituted all the way along the struggles I think that a good way to start to think this question of how social eological are in the making today how they can struggle and hopefully hope can we win this struggle so that my presentation next is Marana who's here at the new school and this in Brazil on the questioning okay hi uh so 24th no November 2006 in Bon the fifth largest Brazilian City a group of eight to families occupied a small building in an upper class neighborhood in an action coordinated by the local social movement Bas popularis their claim can be summarized in the following terms there is a similing unreachable gap between the law in the books and the law in action even though the Brazilian Constitution guarantees the fundamental social right to housing many families do not have a place to live in both large and small cities occupation in this scenario became the only alternative left for those eight families in order to the gap between the Constitutional taxt and the Grievances characterizing their own lives since this defin action the occupations organized by brigadas popas continued two in 2007 two in 2008 one in 2009 and one in 2010 prompted by the impact of this wave of occupations of the city's social and political landscape I examined the political development of the regulation of the right to housing and the meanings it acquired Vis the right to property right in Bon during the last so in my analysis I tried to focus in three specific actors and their different discourses and actions the social movement uh which organized the occupations the municipal government uh in charge of structuring and implementing uh the housing polic at the local level and the state court of appeals uh responsible for examining and revising the judicial cases at the Appellate level which emerged out of the battles between the occupants and the occupied real estate owners uh all the occupations they happen uh private properties uh except for one which before had belonged to the to the uh to the city and there was a dispute between who really uh who about who owned that property so the questions that I was interested in this paper were first how these different actors frame the issues in dispute and the extent to which this dient and overlapping frames impact the meing making of the two rights involved namely the right to private property and the right to to housing uh second I was also interested in understanding if and how the Judiciary constituted and he affirmed its relative autonomy uh Visa is the social uh represented by the social movement and the executive power uh I tried to engage in an interpretive approach understand that law is made not only within the court but this uh law is found and invented in made and made in a variety of locations such as the course of social movements CL class rooms welfare hearings and so on uh and I was trying to trace the development of this of the struggle of the meanings of these rights uh in this particular case so in the presentation I try to to engage with this uh first I try to show to give you an overview of how how the urban space was regulated in Brazil the social right to housing and the right to private property uh then how is the uh the housing uh policy organized on the local level and then how the dispute uh undergone in the in the courts and uh I examine all the the judicial case that I I mentioned here uh so Brazilian developmental process began in the 30s uh and it was it's described as a cohesive capitalist path because there was an alliance between the state and the and the private uh B and the B and this process was characterized by an intense humanization and now we have 84% of the population living in metropolitan areas so it was a very exclusionary development process uh we had a recognition of property rights but from a very liberal perspective and therefore uh real estate became a commodity uh and it wasn't a uh most of the population was not able to access uh the right to housing so uh speculation is what really characterizes uh the the real estate uh space in Brazil and uh and housing deficit was one of the main characteristics during the redemocratization process we had the emergence of the urban uh reform social movement in the early late 73 80s and the social movement was able to organize an impact in terms of the Constitution and guarantee a chapter on over policy and guarantee that the right to property uh had to fulfill a social function so we have that the the right property is guaranteed but as long as the property uh fulfills the social function so there is this whole debate of what the social function means and this is one of the discourse that the social movements they they use in terms of uh uh for legitimating uh their struggle and the occupation that they do on private property they say well this private property does not fulfill soci function therefore it should not be protected by the law and by the Judiciary uh the local government therefore CLS according to to the Constitution a major role in organizing and uh and regulating uh the urban the urban space and in 2000 we had a constitutional amendment that guarantee housing as a social right therefore there is a requirement now that they State really has to take positive actions in order to guarantee that the social right is fulfilled and uh and then you had again powerful social movements uh pressing on the local level in order to implement the social right and many cities we had this Innovative participatory policies I don't know if you heard about the participatory budgeting and B is considered to be a Pioneer was the first to implement participatory budgeting and they also implemented participatory budgeting for the housing uh for the housing shoes so uh the Workers Party won the elections in 1992 and from that time on they initiate a series of reforms administrative reforms in order to create these spaces uh in which uh the the uh popular participation be able enable popular participation within uh the administration and they created 1995 this uh the participatory housing budget uh and the target was for was uh low income families so this partip budget it requires that every family participates in a nucleus they have to uh first the family has to to looking for a nucleus of the movement of struggle for housing they have to affiliate to this nucleus they have to participate in a series of meetings and forums along an entire year and at the end they will decide how many housing units will be built uh and uh to whom it would be distributed uh the issue is that at the end uh the housing def in B on is now 129,000 404 units and the number of the families which were contemplated almost 15 years of this parp budget was 3,211 so uh and by still the families they really believe that this was a space to be the space to to participate uh so my my one of my arguments is that uh the way that it's it's established this housing program is works as a technique of governmentality because it's a way to manage those families and M and and and guarantee that they will be dependent up on the state and they want organize themselves uh and it creates a structure of servance and uh and close management of these homeless families who are along an entire year participating expecting that they will get a house at the end but this never really happens um however this process is a two-way process and on the one hand you have the the state attempting to transform and shape and discipline the social world but on the other hand you also have Society trying to resist and motify and subvert those uh those States categories and it was in this context that the social movement emerged uh uh and very much interested in the Lego discourse so from the very beginning the social movement uh was trying to frame uh the the struggle uh from the perspective that there was there uh a dispute between the the right to private property and the right to housing and in that dispute the right to housing should be the one to Prevail and uh uh and also they were always trying to to frame either as a public issue rather than a private a private dispute between the the owners of the private unit which were being occupied occupied uh and the social movement itself so this these occupations in the uh in the paper I described them better but the first occupation was there were eight families living the Islam and they occupied a small building really close to the Islam in an upper class neighborhood they were capable of creating this network of support uh and that is quite interesting so they said the homeless do not want the right to housing they want they want housing so they were really trying to to frame the occupation as a legitimate and a legal action and law was all the time mobilized as a way to create a means of the resistance and to advance a new understand of what this what this private prop meant this was one of the graffitis that it made the occupation was called kak what means is Nao and they were tried to connect with the zapatista movement uh and uh this is another occupation uh that happened in 2007 and then in 2009 we have uh the one of the biggest occupations occupation danda uh it started with 150 families and now they have around 900 families there it's a planet occupation they have Architects and uh and uh biologist participating with that this is the the picture of the occupation they had a uh a collective hug to the occupation because it was threatened by eviction uh 2010 we had another occupation and as I exam in the paper in all these cases all of them we had uh Court decisions and in all the times except for one descent opinion the court reject the movement's framing uh it was always privileged the the right to private property and uh and the argument was that it wasn't a question for the Judiciary to enforce the the the right to housing but rather it was a question a dispute with the with the local government and while because it was the the the issue was set between the social movement and the private owner uh and the local government was never present in those cases it was really really not possible to responsibilized the local government for for the absence of the the social right and and what we see at the end is that the Judiciary affirms the autonom of law Vis the social actor in the local government by saying that law and politics they operate under different codes so it wasn't really an issue of politicizing that within the court because the law has it its own autonomy and it operates in a different code thank you we have Fisher also from New School talking about Panama and I want to thank the politics Department to have me here um and I want to apologize for Marco uh there's been some interesting times happening right now in Panama and he's very politically engaged um the right now the current president the reason why the this is an issue U which the writing president elected is a former businessman elected to elected to um office uh he's been involved in a really bad corruption Scandal uh involving none other than Silber gun in Italy and but the thing is the funny thing is and I'll explain this in the in the in the protest in the in the uh I'll expain this in the in the presentation I remember when I was a kid um and um Panama was invaded by the United States and Panama was under occupation for three or four months um the prior to that the reason why the United States invaded was because Manel Mara the Panama was said to be involved in drug trafficking and this caused massive protest in Panama the thing is that right now the the president of Panama is being said is involv in a huge corruption Scandal that involves in Italy and the huge conglomerate mechanica and nothing's happening the only people that are actually going out and protesting for other sort of Demands are indigenous peoples in na Naas precisely um and let me see if this works yes um and well the Str is basically and and the reason why this is a very work very preliminary work in progress is because there's a tug of war between Marco and I in trying to frame this because we're using a theorical frame that basically explains that consumption um there is two ways you can understand this um there's high demand for Commodities from China and Asia and this basically has prompted the desire to Prospect and explore uh new mineral uh uh mines um in b B areas are controlled by basically controlled and administered by the indigenous populations but it isn't there's also another side to it uh the things that urban urban Elites call Urban Elites urban populations in Latin American countries have been very have been quite silenced by the desire for immediacy for consumption and this is actually known by this is actually framed by a Mexican Anthropologist know Garcia Ness Garcia can clean and he says um the fact that uh urban populations are being swayed by this is basically has made that protests are shifting to the those groups that were excluded originally in Chile You could argue that the the pinguinos in the beginning basically were excluded from all sort of saying in their basically education in P the development the developmentalist theory and and other polies were they implemented in Panama even during like the time where Panama and America grew at 8% basically marginalized or ignored the indigenous peoples and basically right now that they're doing is trying to claim their rights and trying to inter trying to to push the boundaries of democracy things that are not being done by the traditional social groups based in urban areas because they have their desire um the the fact that they they they are being SP by the consumption especially more importantly by energy demand and I'll explain this here more precisely um for purpose um basically indigenous strugles in America particularly reclaim and resist encroachment of public spaces of citizenship and they now exemplary and I'll explain the casee uh more in depth later um as globalization homogenizes production and consumption between the pr National traditional nation state excluded groups like indigenous peoples feel this vacuum left by traditional or populations right and but the thing that this this there's a problem here because there are challenges to this multicult Multicultural citizenship demands that are imp pushed by indidual populations because they put them in a position course with Orban Orban popul because the thing is that and this is the problem the talk between marro and I um cities demand energy and demand a lot of it but also this mineral prospecting of projects require energy too and you'll see and the think and and and the problem with GC and C theory is it's very hard to separate the demands for consumption from the demands for production and you're going to see this in two graphs am I speaking too fast no that's problem well and the first the first point is to see development as an exclusionary as exclusionary citizenship when people talk about development theory as being something that every to want to be everyone want to become a citizen by being able to enjoy the fruits and the rights of being part of a nation state and a community and the goods of the community right and actually that's clean it right like Hispanic Mexican or Brazilian was not only made maintaining specific Traditions but also active reproduction within with the Commodities generated by one Society basically that happened very much during the is period industrial substitution industrialization period but the thing is that during that time the sad story of that time is that many of these indigenous groups were marginalized or ignored in Panama um this was uh the case even during that time of industrialization like the this the military dictatorship which was left leaning in Panama um basically just they said okay we're going to give you more rights to the to of the of the of the resources we're exploding from your from your lands but still you are going to be sort of excluded from like the bonan of this um right now they're just being excluded period um and now we're looking at Multicultural citizenship which is their more expensive definition of citizenship which is basically the recognition of differences in order to deepen democracy right um analysis and the problem with uning Garcia clean's work is that of consumption cannot be needly separated from production especially in case of energy and I'll see that later uh well these are some figures between 33 and 40 million indigenous peoples live in ATL America where five countri comprise 90% of all indigenous peoples these communities are among the PS in the region notl population in Panama is the poorest indigenous population in Panama period And there are 160,000 people in the Panama in Northwest um half of all poverty basically people that live in less than $1 a day really less than $1 a day they live in N region but the sad irony of life is that there this area sits on large copper mines and rivers like very fast Rivers R had electric potential I have some pictures of this but I just was not smart enough to here uh but I say these are the two graphs right this the first graph this basically tells you hycc and thermal energy production in Panama and the urban teral population ratio as you see when the in the mid after the after the occupation 1990 um and the liberalization of Panamanian Industries and the basically destruction of the Panamanian Country Side um the Aral r ratio started increasing very quickly and that increased Urban and that increased Urban demand for energy and that energy basically was met by the construction like you see like the had electrical energy plants were basically very flat until 2000 and then they started increasing thermal energy will always be thermal energy because it's at the margin it's always the one that uh uh he can actually sub satisfy demand at the lowest cost but the things that to to separate this from this the things that this this is the this is min GDP per capita from mineral and resource extraction to separate that from this is difficult because all these exploitations require a lot of energy and the thing is that one of the and one of the problems with the bar and the bar Blanco energy uh project in region is that there a 3.5 megawatt uh plant that is going to be built in the real baranco in in the na region and the thing is that that the marginal amount of the marginal amount of electricity is going to provide to like the whole to the whole energy demand is very minimal it's 3% but it will provide all the energy needed to basically help exploit the corer resources that are there so there there's a problem there and and basically he has parked recurrent protest protest in N region I remember in 2010 when President the current president was elected to power the first few things he did basically was uh evict uh like the 3 na peoples from that area that actually had a great cattle ranch potential they all sign a petition go into trouble um then late later that year they were they were actually more they were actually real Pro protest that the government squashed but at the same time the the the they were a the theas were able to get the s San Felix Accords which basically was a commitment to to protect water resources and prohib mineral extraction in the region the thing is that the government in 2012 when it was going to present this Accords to the Panamanian Congress made no mention of Article 5 thinking that oh you know what it's Christmas time nobody's going to notice um actually it was like it was Christmas time like they they really thought this um the things that leadership demand reification and were ignored um how much time I have about a minute and actually a minute uh long story short there was a huge there was a huge protest um even like these protest were like even they were Savaged by the by the standards because actually even the police used raping as a a as as a as a method of repression to dead scorts wounded um things got worse but actually the but they were able to even in those in that time to negotiate s agreement and start a discussion of the hydroelectrical projects and Water Conservation yet the government was quick to point out that the project was only suspended and if was and if the demands were not met they were going to call a nationwide referendum basically pitting urban urban voters against Naes and that is a collision course so summer exud peoples indigenous groups are recomend a force pushing the need for public spaces and a deeper conception of citizenship but there's a potential for conflict with Urban groups and interest linked to commodity extraction who demand energy for consumption and production and I'm really sorry extended myself okay before we start the discussion there is announ but yes before we start the discussion we're very sorry we did not introduce Marina c i we assume everybody here knows her but briefly Marina is a writer lawyer teacher and organizer she's the editor of horizontalism voices of popular power in Argentina she has just completed everyday revolutions horizontalism and autonomy in Argentina and she's the co co-editor of the fourth coming Insurgent democracies Latin America's main power Marina has also been published an important J and magazines such as the international Journal of comparative sociology FR Latina zenette YES magazine and others she holds a JB from cun law school a PhD in global sociology from Stony Brook University and she's currently working as u in her post doctorate at the C grate cental committee on globalization and social changes better late than later or never sorry about that okay well so then maybe ending on the post there I would advise them strongly to everyone when you get your PhD if you can get a post it's just a really wonderful thing to be able to write and work and think together with other people um so I I did take notes on everyone's papers and I'm not going to ask specific questions of each person even though I would like to and maybe over the course of the week I can or we can do that so I mean it's always tricky to try to find a way to have a generalized conversation and also be specific one thing though I do want to talk about just really briefly and it also does relate to my work so my work has been based in Latin America over the past 20 years or so um but as an organizer wherever I am whether that's in Latin America or the US this past you know six eight months in New York has it's been I've been in New York I've been in Spain and I've been in Greece so kind of all about the global movements now and that this conference is about the new movements but starting with Latin America so some of what I've been been reflecting on over the last few months and I guess I want to suggest a few things I know discussing stud this and it's really obnoxious when it's kind of like well my work and so how does your work relate to my work so I'm going to do that much more broadly though in Broad questions kind of what's taking place globally and then starting this weekend conference in Latin America and all of you doing really contemporary work in Latin America I think is really significant because at least the way I see it in a lot of what's been going on in the movements in Spain and in Greece and in the US so many of the forms and kind of the articulations of the politics can be grounded in a lot of ways in the movements in Latin America so whether that's the like you know the kind of stop the yasa of the zapatistas and the reference zapatistas of theant in Argentina you know they all must go and this kind of refusal and in that same space opening something up that's new and different and using kind of forms of directy all over um so I guess my two questions whether you want to answer them or not each of you and then we'll kind of open it up is kind of how you see and if you see maybe some of the work you've done related to the movements now and in particular the question of the form that the movements are taking so forms of democracy in particular or not is a direct democracy in Argentina they talk about it's amazing how around the world single language of horizontal and it's a word that actually came out of the autonomous social movements in Argentina after 2001 um so kind of the form and then the question of dato which is what Latin America people have been talking about for quite a few years in the kind of alternative Construction in Geographic space but teror is not just about physical space it's the in Brazil in particular talking about territorio of like the mind and the body and how you're constructing new ways of being and thinking so if that kind of came up at all in your work um and then maybe one other question would be because it's come up differently each of your presentation kind of the the point of reference of the movements is it looking first and only um to legislative change is it just about some specific Demand on an institutional power or are some of the movements perhaps looking not just to institutional power but are they looking again kind of in the horizontally the zapatistas say you know from below to the left like is there that kind of gaze taking place or forms of organization or is it about a specific demand that needs to be met um so those are specific ones and then if there were time but I'm not sure that there is so maybe just to think about an answer if you want to I always it's just so important to think about why we are working on what we're working on like whoever we are whatever the current project is or the place is so like what I mean what's the intellectual question but what's the the passion question like okay we're all we're talking about movements so there's got to be some what is that part and just kind of the the you and all of it so I don't know if that's too much sharing but that's kind of how it my so I don't know if people want to respond one at a time so whichever or not and then we'll open it up for discussion that any of you want to respond to anything you get this in order no however however whoever jumps in first we started okay you were not in so you go first me well and I'm also picking on you because I know the movements you work on specifically actually do relate much more directly I think the work was doing okay so I guess I guess in my presentation uh I was more focused because of the of the legal background and because I was working as a lawyer with this particular social movement it was part of the movement and I was playing the role of being a lawyer in all this case I was really interested in to what extent uh this political struggle could intervene in the space of law which in Brazil is still a very closed and uh bounded space and it's really hard it has a still a very positivist approach to legal issues and it's really hard to change those things so to like trying really to bridge this gap between what is the law on the books and the and the and the real lives of those people who were trying to achieve those that social right uh so the point of the reference of the movement was not only uh that uh the the legal strategy wasn't ever the main straty of the movement but it was of that it was and I think it's it's more to relate to the broader public and trying to to legitimate because when you have when you show because occupations they are always seen as illegal you are you are confronting what is basic what is a PR right to private properties everyone thinking wow this is like the basic most basic individual right and therefore when you are capable of grounding that claim uh in something that the legitimate and says well but we also have the right to housing and there is the property has to fulfill social function and if it's not fulfilling it should not be protected by the state it makes it much uh easier to relate to the broader public and to to bring more uh more participants and more uh support for for Day Struggle yeah so I I can't I answer a bunch of UE yeah well why I am doing it um I I mean I I'm from Chile I grew up in Chile during the dictatorship and it's very interesting because in next year is going to be the 30 years anniversary of the big uprising of the peoples in ch actually it's very dramatic because the dictatorship in Chile ended in a kind of agreement but behind that there was a huge movement so people die fighting against the dictatorship right I was a child but I was of that too and after that I went to University to study law and social sciences I became a lawyer I worked as a lawyer for eight years I was a labor right lawyers and working with the movement and the students were among my clients so they went to my office to help to ask for help so I was part of that mov so quite activist being a lawyer blah blah blah then I moved to Sweden and I I I had a start that kind of interest to systematize this question of the ecological crisis in Chile because my word with some workers within the Forester sector within the a business sector so I was really trying to make sense of all this struggles that are not all the time connected right so I went to Sweden I started to work at the University there and finishing my PhD I write scientific articles about forestry and other things I have some of the things here if you are interested but I cannot understand Academia today as something that is there and the struggles are over there so I am struggling both within Academia and also when I am Chile and Brazil trying to be part of the movement right so that is my main reason I see this as my struggle but I cannot struggle alot so I strugg with more people I try to just cooperate so I would say that is a a way of thinking horizontality right I mean when I am in the field the question of horizontality today is so important because even when I I read things I can maybe refer to shyo idea of the person economies I mean when I am with theological so it's not only the point to know about history about you know intellectual debate it's just to know how to preserve the land today how to struggle and how to be n enough in order to keep your land not to sell it to the big companies and also to create a political movement and to be all the time trying to move things right and that is something that really make me me think about the the issue of you know the different kind of movement we have today and I also think that as I mentioned in my presentation I mean if we take seriously the social ecological crisis of today we need to think along the line of PE movement so that is my simplest question to the issue I presented today then and the territory is yes one of the most important thing for peasant struggles so if you don't have territory I mean you cannot be a peasant right you have to have a territory or to fight for a territory so and the IDE of territory is so important because it actually transcends the more maybe reductionistic view of just land right there is a lot of interest in the CH know how people the mauchi people for example when you are in the mapi area you see all over the places our territory fighting for our territory I mean this is our territory right but the peasants that I'm referring to they TR to even transcend that and to say this is the territory and we are managing the territory we own the land which all actually create this discussion about property right right if we remember the struggle between bakunin and Marx actually they were one of the point was that actually Marx wanted to recognize the inheritance right to the peasant in order to not antagonize the peasantries in the first International but Bonin wanted to just be more you know against any property rights so for presant property rights are important and many people in the left don't understand that when they go with their discourses and they try to say The Peasant we are going to wow The Peasant are the peasant right so that is something important to consider it has to do with territory I finish with that well I'll jump in well the passion question I'll try to make a short story long story short um actually I was a human rights lawyer in Panama um went NGO in Pan um but the things that I got in trouble uh we didn't tell them they were on a panel with lawers that was coming out yeah everyone a here I'm sorry um and the thing is that I got uh I got in trouble because the things that after the president came to power the president um he came to power like writing a wave of Hope and optimism this guy's the guy was going to change Panama and inde Panama is growing at 11% like it's it's it's a miracle story that people think is going to become the next Singapore of America bring a Subway and lot of Public Works projects but the think that four months into the whole thing uh he did he basically let like basically ordered a really nasty repression in N region we some environmental groups and like some people prominent political leaders and and and some I was writing at a Newber at the time they tell they tell me oh right you know signed this uh this uh communic about like trying to you know tell the government to stop right and do negotiation and all that got into trouble and luckily I was here so but uh and but there like that thing spiral to to other more complicated think which are not a problem here and I want to bore you with it um and the other thing the problem is that it's the the political Urban indifference question which was that um the thing is that this the pic government right now is going going through so much like Pro like problems and I remember when I was when as I said was I Young when I was younger uh there were massive mations basically asked uh a very unpopular uh then he was he was a dictator now the president got elected democratically sure true the quality dictative difference but the allegations are serious and people took to the street before to this and but now now because unemployment is 4% basically so quiet the only people that are making right like good like coherent Demand on how to change for the B to strengthen Democratic process or indigenous movements in Panama and the now in in particular like they they basically want a more expansive definition of citizenship basically not based on the goods you can actually get in your in your in your in your country and basically to Foster an active reproduction nation state but basically they want to basically be able to enjoy a a right to difference and a right to to to to to be to be able to be accepted part of this country of this poity but at the same time recognizing the differences that make up and will strengthen the poity and the things that and be able to to to um actually like uh uh have the definition here but was back out um and to basically be able to recognize a Unity through difference but this actually has challenges and this is not as easy as academics as Garcia can clean says it's is going to happen these things has many challenges and one of the challenges basically is the the very the difficulty in try to separate consumption and production and and basically given the high demand of Commodities in China and the fact that urban urban populations that are traditionally the ones that are mobilizing against um basically the ones that vote basically are just silent sorry very extended that's good and we can if people are okay with going to like 5:15 we can go a little bit over but if people walk out that's fine and no one's going to beend mean I kind of take that to be true no matter what you walk out you walk out um did you want to respond to or yeah yeah um so I want to respond to the um what's the purpose or like what what we see ourselves or why are we interested in this um for me actually I'm interested in this issue because I'm interested in education um and uh I think that there's actually a lot that makes these protests super interesting even Beyond some of the things I highlighted um Chile is considered to have like some of the best education in Latin America on the Pisa which is this um International um test put on by the oacd uh Chile has been getting the highest scores and um it's also um the policies implemented by P were really like the most extreme voucher system like directly what Milton fredman would have called for so it's sort of this interesting uh privatized experiment in terms of education and so considering the the former that it's um doing so well it's sort of interesting that this it's this got gotten this big movement right because like why is the place that's doing well having this big movement um so that's one interesting thing for me and then also with this with the voucher system you hear a lot of um dialogue in the United States calling for voucher systems and more I don't know you you can think about that this is the most extreme and given that there's such great inequality and that people are really mobilizing over it what does this mean for how we should think about our education policies here um and then another interesting thing which I think maybe Mariana as your Brazilian yeah would could speak to is so they demand some of the demands are for you know free education but from what I know about Brazil where um University at you know some of the best universities are the free ones where only the kids who have like a really good went to private school go there we might think about well is that actually like like how do we square that Demand with the fact that these protests are coming from a place of anger over inequality and would that actually solve inequality so just want to highlight some more interesting issues raised by these protests so my I think these are fascinating makes me realize what would biases I bring about why I approach it the way I do and I guess my is I'm very interest I've been increasingly convinced of the power discrepancy between citizens mobilizing and how the state responds um and I guess I'm increasingly convinced that by better understanding how the government there's a huge potential to understand how the government responds and therefore better facilitate relations between um for me between minority groups and the way that the government can respond which again is fascinating because I do I know I take a a different approach to understanding social movements and um but it's useful to think that I have some there's some theoretical bias behind that so yeah no it's good it wasn't a critique it was I mean I think all of us thinking about ourselves and the work that we do is an incredibly important thing and we get so caught up in doing the work but sometimes we lose along the way why we're doing what we're doing so it's really but there's at least one hand and maybe we should take for the sake of time are you all okay if we take like say two or three questions at a time and then kind of respond to them otherwise we probably won't have time for so one and two thank you yes uh I I have to say I'm not americanist so it's so fine if you think questions are not about answering or something but well first of all Christian I was getting interested you you conly speak about the peasant I was wondering who's how do you define the peasant is the same as a worker because I mean even Mark says uh the L proletariat he a little bit cynical about and cannot really engage in politics and I mean fo Clover the poor and um I mean the weapons of Weak by Scott we learned that the peasants actually have not the opportunities or for for various reason do not participate in Poli movement so if you use a peasant the term so heavily you basically turn this around and this is groundbreaking so I was wondering if this is really the case or if you're really if you rather refer with person to a more broader less defined concept and um just to to to shoot this um also out here um I I was wondering lesie how do you define institutions to what extend our institution something normative something what is not just let's say the right to vote but maybe also something what has to do with agenda setting and can this in a way explain the problem you are looking to explain because I have the feeling you the fin rather than a very um well material way or legal way and not so much in a normative discoursive way maybe but this is just a hch so I was wondering how you define this but um yes so hold for a second and we're going to go to another one okay um most uh my comments are on the papers on Chile and one of the things that's really noticeable is that the three of you speak about the three sectors that are most mobilized right now right in the countryside um Rec most recently I um face and the um education so you're you're focusing on different but you're seeing a mobilization a remobilization in Chile in various sectors it's not one of them um the second thing I would point out about this I I want to respond first to the paper on the muu chase because I would be very very careful um with terms like violent protest and and and especially terrorism I mean there is no evidence that this is Terrorism this is a a government discourse and if you're calling it violent what do you mean by that I mean has has killed anyone has any seriously injured I mean so you're really talking about confrontational versus working through the system um and then I would ask a you know why are some of the M more computational why are some working through the system what's the difference do some have political connections is there a political difference so what's going on and the reality is even if you have this one little group that succeeded your story is not of success right it's 16 a year actually get what there so it there the overall story is a failure for the MB so there's you know there's reasons that you see a much more cont um on the educational system you know that in January they did a study of the schools and they said the schools are awful right everything but the private schools in the wealthy neighborhoods so there's been a huge deine in qualities of Education in ch um I would not see the um the Democracy as an open system though it's a really blocked system but I think what you might what is interesting about comparing the penguinos to the current movement is that maybe what the critique of the political opportunity structure should be that and a lot of people are talking about these kinds of cycles of opening and closing in which um Michelle bash was was a a sense that maybe there would the state would be responsive now of course it's Sebastian pin nobody expected him to be responsive so um and the other thing that there's an article by Cy and all who similar to kitel they bring in another aspect which are political parties and whether there are political parties alive with the movement so when leftwing parties are out of power movements have more resources and so I wonder how much of the shift to Pinera it can be explained um you know the mass mobilization now um and I I think that's pretty much I think we might take maybe one more before we how many people are thinking they have a question comment okay so we'll take the two and then just for the sake of time that way you can all respond and then we'll see where we go after that I if people have to walk out still okay okay um question question on the Commodities uh the dev of Commodities now um in the real grand the soul case that you site um you say that one of the the resource issues resources come from Petr um if you're looking at what's an ecological movement here I mean in the longer run that doesn't seem something this green so to speak um is the goal of this particular um uh what's the word what's the word for the settlement for this particular asento that right for this particular settlement that you're looking atery or the Cooperative right but on but it's on an MST settlement correct no no no that is one of the SC that are happening in the same area yeah I can't explain maybe that b maybe I'm confused my understanding was that you were saying that the some of the funding was coming from for for the micro Distillery right the technology right and I guess what I'm asking is if the longer you you made a comment that social movements have to get a resource of sum where do they get them from longer term is the goal to develop that sort of indigenously within yeah the area there and Mariana I'm um struck with that figure you of the 100,000 130,000 roughly cases and then 3,000 sounds like the the land question brail that the M Ms are deal with um I'm wondering um you talk about autonomy of the law and this being your career area before you came here um to what extent can the law be used as an organizing Tool uh to develop some sort of Greater autonomy eat into that 100,000 figure um and with the World Cup specifically Bell is a site for some of the matches coming up in two years um does that have any impact in terms of um yeah just a quick comment Christi where the John bellry Foster mon review has put out I assume many many articles and a whole bunch of books on the connection with marks and the eological movement this is and he's stress that many people are ignorant of this and it should be made point of attention I okay so I think you know there were very specific questions but then if people want to respond also generally because some of the questions about like you know where do you get your funding for automist development or whatever might actually also apply in P for we just so you start but I'm going to time you because you got so many questions we're keep like yeah has done a very great job and there's a lot of discussion going on on the way of thinking well even marks in relation to e so I know him so we are I contributed to a book that he's also contributing that is coming now I have a copy of my Artic but I can make some advertising a and power just published this year collect a number of articles about people trying to develop a critical well research perspective on environmental issues it's a great job of many yeah then just to show on chil because it's so important what you are saying and I just wanted to say that when people try to understand Chile today they they have to look at the Historical trajectory of neoliberalism and the So-Cal transition into something they call democracy right that is so important because not only the case of the students it's not only the case of these peasant it's also the case of the forestry workers the sumon workers the mining workers and everything taking place in the last 10 years right and during 2004 we organized the counter meeting when GE Bush came to the country and we were almost 60,000 people on the street in a struggle that lasted the whole day so you have to say that for some reason and for Chas like me what is going on on today something that at some moment was necessary to happen and the important thing today is to hold to create a more sense of a project right and even within the movement and to take camil V's example so there are many struggles today and discussions about the role of political parties grassroot movement so it's a very Dynamic situation so please don't Elize CH don't R fight the case of Chile but just please look at Chile as a good example of a very important fight against NE liberalism so don't forget CH is the neoliberalism symbol over the world and just to take the question of pesan of course it's a very context dependent question in many cases but there is a Revival on pant studies today I would say the emphasis is on the question of the reconstitution of the peasantries and some people argue that you for example shanin had a very conventional category the the size of the land blah blah blah you know but today people are more thinking first in how people identify themselves in the case I'm talking about people identify as peasants right so many people declare The Peasant died many years ago and Mark was almost saying that in some ways but don't forget the marks change a little bit when trying to make sense of Russia and the struggles in France so trying to give a place of the peasantries as a political actor what he was saying that finally The Peasant decides travels in France in 1850 and 1848 either they didn't cooperate with the worker or they were trying to put their own handl so passengers are very of political subject and what I am emphasizing in the P of my paper here is that they say themselves as political subjects right in the two cases or most in the case of Brazil in Chile is more incipient process but in Brazil is very clear you have peasant movements one book I can recommend even when I have many critiques is the new peasantries by Sean PL but Philip mm from Cornell University has done a very great job in order to understand current peasantries that would be my EAS question answer and if I can take the next one or no sure can you do it really briefly over the Petr well just to explain I mean the fact I mean for these communities they can get a lot of support from for example research at the University they can invent their own Technologies right but in order to offer something that is more convenient today they had the idea to go to petas to get the money and well petas put you know the advertising there petas is financing this one but is their own ENT PR right they run the micro distilleries they need the technology and they can control the production and the consumption system so that is the important fact and it's very interesting because in one of the main statement of theant the the group in which this Cooperative is part of they say well people sometime don't want to get money from the state right that is a wrong strategy because that is money that all is all Brazilians should take part of that right so they try to make the case that in this kind kind of transitional period in order to create this Technologies in order to dispute the eony sometime we have to negotiate right so there are part of many initiatives but what is important is to see how they try to project the project beyond the limit of the current institutional system so that would be my um quick answer to that but I would really like to continue discussing that because it's so important to understand that there is not a kind of Purity in the political engagement of this movement right I mean we have to survive first and then we try to do the things that we can U see as the future uh project for us and these kinds of questions are also as the weekend goes on so relevant for the Contemporary movements as well saying maybe we don't want to necessarily have a relationship to the state or you're creating autonomy but then where does funding come from is the money in the state actually ours what does that look like how do you so all the questions I think that have been you know they've been grappling with in Latin America for the past 10 years in particular are super relevant to the questions that are being raised by did you want to address any of that I'm going to leave the time for you guys to okay so the the point of uh how LW can be used as an instrument of organized uh I think this is a question not only for this particular movement but for every social movement that it's engaging at some ways like movements that you will be uh treated as illegal that you will be uh uh they be criminalized and they have to face the question of the law in the legal system and uh and I really see that uh law has to be used as a as a it has to be one of the strates of the movement and you really have to have this legal strategy as a way to create a counter GIC discourse because there is a dialect relationship between law and politics and the meaning of these rights it's not a given but it's constructing the political struggle so once you cannot be trapped in the in the idea that once that that legal right is finally uh you finally achieve that right this struggle is over it's much it goes much beyond that but has but that has to be something and it's also important even like to maintain uh the force of the social movement because every legal victory that you have and every occupation of this that is enabled to to maintain for some more five six month is a big victory for the movement and it's a way that people uh those who are who are still uh in doubt if they going to join or not they see it as an alternative for them in order to accomplish their their right to housing I think it's really an Strat that should be uh used uh understanding uh what are the what are the consequence of that and then in regard to the word cup uh uh as new social movements emerging on Brazil of of people who are uh impacted by the by the constructions and uh because many communes are being displaced uh and the social impact of of the of the constrction both for the World Cup and for the Olympics is huge so this is this has become a big political issue social movements are organizing uh but it's uh it's it's been really hard and complicated to make it a public question and to have the brother public engage on it because there is also the issue well but Brazil is emerging uh it's getting so well known outside so this is a minor question when you look at what will be the benefits of the country but but I I would say that the the questions of housing they are being even worsened with the with the displacements that are happening now okay um first I completely agree with you about the question of violence and confrontation and unfortunately I think the the framing of the whole conflict is something that the government is almost using as a way to to polarize um between different between more moderate and more um confrontational or radical or whatever the right word is um but the government has been using this relays back to your question about legal issues the government has been using an old a law dating back to sometimes I finish I um to process these these arrests as terrorism so I completely agree it's very it's um not very clear what counts and what doesn't um so I I do need to be careful about that um your question about um whether there was any success at all unfortunately I think there the success is limited enough that keeps that keeps the communities going through the government it's enough to make them work through the process um the other ISS is that is also hard to deal with is that um in most cases these are very long negotiations so the government will approve their request but then that requires negotiations with the current land owner so a lot of times I think there's enough interaction with the government that keeps the process going on so even if may not be completed there's still that interaction with the government while they're trying to negotiate a sale from the private land owner so it's enough success that keeps them kind of through the process um and then the last question about why kind of at the the root of this is why do some communities use more are more willing to confront the government than others um this is originally where I started the the project and I think once I get down to Chile is something that will be much easier while I'm there um it's just hard to get a hold of these things from the US um the two an the two easy answer I've gotten is um proximity to the international corporations so if there's a if there's a a com not even necessarily International but the more that there's some Corporation using that land that seems to exacerbate the conflict um but then I think also there's that story of interaction with the state and they're kind paths seem to diverge really really quickly depending on what that community's initial interaction with the state was those are the two initial answers I'll give you I'm going to step out of line for one second and just like as an additional question perhaps to think about when you're doing this is you know with a question of success those movements those parts of the movement that have been more using forms of direct action and defending the land physically that as compared to the successes of neighboring lands so sometimes it's the direct action of one part of a movement that actually you know kind of look at one as it relates to the other because perhaps There's real connection abely true okay um so first how do I Define institutions that's like a great a great question but um I'm also I'm a political scientist so I'm I'm like defining it in more of a maybe like a so so maybe like a northan sense like on one hand parchment institutions like the Constitution and then you know organizations within that like Congress and the president and whatever um and then there's also informal institutions but I only brought up institutions just to say that um kid shell defines political opportunity structure in terms of Institutions and for him it's think like political the political party whether it's a federalist country things like that um and actually I don't I I'm I'm not totally sure that actually institutions are even that important for my theory because I feel like I'm I'm saying more I I want to take more of the like tarot definition of political opportunity structures and say that has more to do with sort of government signaling when those sort of um organizational type institutions are staying constant um so but actually I think your point about agenda setting is interesting and I hadn't really thought about that um and I think actually maybe what I'm trying to say is that um that's why saling issues matter like maybe there's sort of a reverse agenda setting happening like when Society starts caring about an issue the government is forced to respond somehow and and so I think maybe that's an interesting idea that maybe I can kind of build into what I'm trying to say even though I would understand agenda also as an institution yeah in a way but yeah but yeah that's I feel like that's a big question like what our institution um and then this point about political parties um yeah that definitely that I I should read that that sounds really interesting but the interesting thing is granted I'm using survey data from Latino barometers barometer survey so this is just people's willingness to protest but I this result of people being more willing to protest in 2007 bachet is the president then um but but your point I think is more about the mobilization like how like the money for the actual protest to happen and all those other things um and then the point about the the poor schools yeah for sure I I agree with you the Pisa is an interesting thing because it's an a you know when you say Chile did really well in the Pisa it's like an average so for sure I mean the Pisa says compared to other countries but does it over time because the quality of Education children I mean they it's I think there was one in 2009 and there was one in 2005 I think and in both years CH did really well but you're right if you look at like so when I say they do well I'm just saying on average Chile is doing well but that's that's probably reflecting the really high performers from private schools and that's part of the issue is inequality no I'm seeing a glass of wine developing ATP here which is how we should I think see all of this is like the beginning of a conversation that will continue on the next two days so great you	rv media	UCVF2F7vGEfbiJJJsjhCLMuQ	2012-06-18	Creative Commons Attribution

_Io9Y7pSTEY	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Io9Y7pSTEY	Buddhist Studies: Sensuality, Craving, Contentment and Dispassion w/ Mark Nunberg - Week 2, 3/22/22	so as we normally do we'll begin by chanting the refuges slowly as is our tradition for these buddhist studies courses so i just pasted the link there in the chat for those who need it online to [Music] [Laughter] [Music] me [Music] [Laughter] [Music] oh [Music] me [Music] and settle into our sitting posture as best we can relax stop right relatively still and even this simple process of finding an appropriate posture is a microcosm of how to be skillful in the sensual world if we're looking to find the right posture as if it's going to make us happy we're going to be endlessly fidgeting and adjusting because it will never be perfect and on the other hand if we just give up on the posture as if well it's never going to be perfect so why even bother well that doesn't work either so being with the physicality of sitting is a perfect laboratory for learning a thing or two about how to be wisely present in the sensual world because we've all learned in so many little and big ways how to create hell for ourselves and our central experiences one of the great advantages of sitting for a period of time in a quiet room in a way that cultivates alertness so we're not falling asleep so much is that it really brings to the fore all of that restlessness trying to get a nice experience trying to have a nice experience because we're on purpose holding the body still and not looking around precisely because we're not acting out our desires we can notice desire a little bit more easily like the impulse to plan is often [Music] the acting out of a desire for problem solving and all the little tendencies to adjust the posture looking for more comfort so one of the things we notice when we're sitting for a period of time is we can more clearly see the torment of our addiction to sense experience because for this 30 minute period we're renouncing so much doing right we're just sitting relatively still and all the little and big reverberations of craving of wanting and not wanting just stand out i might have mentioned that gail fonstall calls this these two tendencies of wanting and not wanting the caffeine of the soul it's often the animating [Music] quality of the mind and the body and sometimes the wanting and not wanting themselves those patterns are what the mind is identified with not so much what we want or what we don't want but the wanting and the not wanting itself the juiciness of that self-centered activity of wanting and not wanting it's as if we feel a little naked without the mind wanting or not wanting so this is another important part of our sitting practices we can take a new and fresh look at that space when wanting and not wanting quiets down or drops away for a while and instead of interpreting that space that's empty of wanting and not wanting instead of pathologizing it as something's missing or something's wrong you can open to it in a fresh way maybe appreciate the peacefulness the contentedness appreciate that it's empty of wanting and not wanting it's like developing a taste for something that initially is unfamiliar and then realizing oh this feels good maybe this is the way but we have to let the wanting and the not wanting those deep habits fall away on their own through the non-identification non-attachment to those patterns you just let them come go come and go until they're a little quieter not as intense and maybe not there at all in moments and that's such an interesting question for us during this said just to be interested in the mind when it's temporarily free of the wanting and not wanting to be really curious about the quality of that mind [Music] feel into that space that's empty of wanting and not wanting and finally before some quiet time you might find it really useful to rely on the pleasantness of interest in the present moment as a way of supporting this investigation into the craving the wanting mind and not wanting mind and remember not to try to control anything just notice seeing the ordinary and almost never-ending [Music] arising of desire the desire to swallow the desire to think to move and we know the arising of the wanting mind the arising of the not wanting mine and also aware of the passing away or the cessation of each of those wants and those not wanting so it's almost like we're a wise naturalist in the forest of our own experience observing the wild mind conditioned mind that's here and without judgment without any need to control we just observe the mind in its natural setting which is sensuality and how it relates how it reacts what it does what it doesn't do the creature we're observing is quite sensitive and it has these particular patterns of relating with craving [Music] with wanting and not wanting and we just want to see this honestly and clearly in this relatively simple environment and when the naturalist the observer becomes restless or agitated then put more emphasis in noticing how pleasant it is to be present to be interested to have some continuity of present moment awareness there is a subtle pleasure in being present and that helps in a way to soothe the observer brings in more patience more capacity to be relaxed and alert and remembering that it's in the nature of the conditioned mind to want and to not want so we're not feeling obliged to fix or get rid of simply observing all those subtle and not so subtle intentions to get something to get rid of all the little and not so little ways the mind is inclined to get more comfort in the sitting posture or get rid of discomfort in the sitting posture and the same goes with the pleasantness of some thoughts and the unpleasantness of other thoughts wanting more the pleasant ones wanting to ditch the unpleasant thoughts or mental images uh and again it's really useful to recognize how this pervasive interest it's a real counterweight to the mind getting pulled back into its identification with wanting and not wanting that's not the same as of observing when where the mind is identified it's almost like having a scientific or clinical way of observing the wanting and not wanting mind and as we get closer to the end of the set you might observe a desire to move the body or desire for the sit to be over or the opposite the desire a desire for the sit to continue and so much of what we need to learn and the real one of the main purposes of cultivating this stable continuous present moment awareness is to better understand the nature of desire it's not about repressing desire getting rid of it it's about understanding what it is and what it isn't just through this fresh and patient observation and it's always happening it's always operating desire so the laboratory always comes with us whatever the moment is wherever we are so for just the last couple minutes just curious about this force of desiring to really see it as a natural and impersonal force of course there are desires relatively wholesome desiring relatively unwholesome desiring probably the whole spectrum now so take a moment adjust the body good to see everybody tonight and i can see in this room people in the in-person setting that most of you maybe almost all of you got the message so you can of course anybody can wear masks and people just need to take care of themselves in any way and we always have good masks here if you need one and also it's totally okay for people who are feeling for whatever reason like they need to be a little bit more protected to work with me or the program host about getting somewhere in the room or you can always tune in like so many folks are on zoom and shelley and i we want feedback too about these hybrid programs and how it's working both the people who are coming in person do you feel left out because mark's always looking at the camera or the people on zoom feel like he never looks at us so and we're still learning but we're likely you know in one fashion or another this hybrid world is probably going to stick around so we want to do it in a way where we can actually be a community and maybe one additional thing if you're willing to help with technology if you have some skill please contact the office i was just looking for jessica online where's jessica jessica's often helping us with technology as a co-host yeah our sensual world and we'll have small groups at about 8 40 and as i mentioned i think in the first week if you're on the zoom there's an expectation that you stay for the small groups of course people in the room we've locked the doors you can't leave because it's part of the buddhist studies but of course you can always just tune in on live stream if you don't want to do those we can't force people to be in the small groups i can't encourage you because you look we learn a lot just being in those groups of three and checking in about what we're learning and as i mentioned in the guided sid there's a lot of learning when we just get interested in desire what is this force of desire and i i think it's a useful way to think of desire as the animating force of life because we have a way including in buddhism of pathologizing desire the problem isn't desire because there's really no life without desire the problem is the misunderstanding of desire right or seeing desire with a self-view taking it personally taking the natural unavoidable force of desire as if there's a me and the basic wrong understanding is we think because i'm me i have desire but one teacher turned it around and i think this is a really helpful way to understand our mind it's because desire like i said it is this animating force of life it's it's you know like we'd say in western science you know it's the force behind evolution desire and uh so you know one way i think a really useful way to think of it you know there's this impersonal force of desire that animates life and at some point there was this that impersonal force just like different species plants animals there's a mutation in and then all of a sudden you know the the members of that species that have that mutation they're just so much better able to survive and thrive that after a short period of time they take over there's no members of that species that don't have that mutation because there's half for whatever the population that is so much better selected to survive so when you think of it in this way you can imagine this innovation and the evolutionary process of desiring and desiring and desiring and all of a sudden there's desiring with this added piece of part of that mind of that creature takes the desiring personally and it's like desiring on steroids because now there's a sense of uh somebody a fixed somebody that's doing the desiring you see how it amplifies the force of desiring because all very simple creatures desire you know you we all did this probably in third grade you know we grow green beans and you notice how the plant goes to the sun you know and oh and you know the way we language that oh the plant desires the sunlight gravitates towards the sunlight well that's desire but if somehow the green bean thought like that there's a me that wants that sunshine or a me that doesn't want to die you know we don't sense that in a creature or a plant like a green bean but we don't really know right but we do know ourselves so we can at least and we really feel that way like if i don't put a sweater on this chill is gonna kill me if i don't scratch that itch i'm gonna go you know if this set doesn't end soon i'm just going to bolt i was reading something by a western buddhist monk and he he was talking about desire and he was gave an example of being stuck in a traffic jam and having bad diarrhea and just the intense desire you know and how everything else leaves the mind you know this has to happen and not having any control and that's like where we really see the identification with desire really causes a lot of pain desires not the problem and that's what i mentioned in the guy that sit tonight maybe some of you caught this but you know it's it's almost like the mind is more identified with or attached to the doing of the desiring the wanting and the not wanting right so desire doesn't just mean to want something we desire to get rid of something so craving tan has the pali word craving means both wanting and not wanting that's you know about sense experience that's one type of craving craving to become somebody and craving to be done with it those are the three types of cravings we can observe this next week and a nice simple definition that we get from argent somato for craving is it's desire with attachment or we could say desiring with misunderstanding where we you know in misunderstanding misperceiving is nicely defined by the buddha as these four ways we distort so when we misperceive desire that means we see something that's permanent we see it as permanent when actually the desiring comes and goes this is what's so amazing when you practice with desire is you see that it ends without having to gratify it and that is so stunning because it looks like when we have a lot of desire the way we tend to perceive it is this desire is permanent until i get what i want it's like a edifice you will not be okay until you get what you want this longing this ache of longing is a fixture that's how it seems when we have craving so it seems permanent it seems personal it seems like it will be that the satisfaction will be real when we get what we want or get rid of what we don't want and that it's somehow the thing we desire is somehow intrinsically good or beautiful or right but all of that is constructed right because things aren't actually permanent desire ends because there's always going to be the next desire right it's like it would be a incredible traffic jam of desiring if it never ended but it's like we're on to the next and to the next it's really like an addiction but the key point that i want to make here is that the addiction is more to the to the activity of desiring like what we take personally is more the activity of desiring than getting what we think we want or getting rid of what we don't want and that's often what we talk about when we're hanging out with our friends or loved ones we talk together about what we want and what we don't want oh i can't wait until this you know week is over i can't wait until i get i'm getting a new cell phone tomorrow can't wait i got the protective case today it's so nice i i don't know some amazing marketing play they figured out that people like us myself at least are spellbound by nice packaging i don't know if people have bought apple products before but today i received tomorrow i'm going to get the new sc phone and uh because mine doesn't have much battery life anymore but um but i got the case from apple you know which is you know of course way overpriced i'm guessing it seems seems that way to me for what it is and uh but the packaging was so nice you know it almost feels worth it you know just that like that's that study and gratification like i must be special because somebody designed this packaging so nice and it came to me and we always miss how ephemeral how the promise isn't capped that it's going to be really matter because we ha hop on to the next desire yeah tomorrow i'll get the cell phone you know and there will be a little bit of pleasure just the elegance of a machine that works pretty well you know can do things and the battery lasts longer than an hour and things like that i still love your phone as long as you're recording you know you just get through tonight but it's just interesting how we just jump to the next thing we want or don't want because that's the addictive piece we feel real and alive when we're desiring when we're attached to wanting and not wanting and it's very interesting and i i just encourage all of us to to make us study this week and this is one of the reasons we said that to make a study of boredom and just to sort of find different times during the day where you can hang out and really embrace a non-doing a non-reacting a non-getting a non-fixing an unbecoming it's like a little it is actually in some ways like a psychological death or just and the reason that that's so potent just like in our formal sitting practice where we hold still mostly it's such an affront to be awake i mean it's easy when we're you know reading a book or watching a movie or sleeping but it's such an affront to on some like be vulnerable to the interpretation i'm not doing anything i'm not becoming anybody i'm not getting anywhere oh my god i'm wasting my life i mean it's amazing we're totally fine looking at catalogs or endlessly scrolling online or but to sit there in a relaxed and alert way and observe the mind which is so relevant to our experience as a human being and we can have this profound scary sense of boredom and like we're missing our life so for the conversation tonight in the small groups i'll just give you some themes before i continue talking but just to you know last week i talked about the buddhist teachings where he said you know when people were curious about like what did you do to become a wise human being and he he one of the things he said is in terms of studying the experience of gratification of sense experience i've done it to the extent as much as any human can do maybe people match my clear analysis discernment of the experience of gratification but i've done it to the nth degree you can't study it more than i've studied it i've studied the drawbacks of sensuality to the nth degree and i've studied the escape like how to be a human being with a body and mind here and now but not pushed around by those eight worldly winds of gain and loss and pain and pleasure and success and failure and praise and blame just the duality of our sense world how to be free of being pushed around in sensuality because the escape we imagine is that third kind of craving get me out of here you know when we do it because inevitably regularly we get burned by sensuality we feel betrayed or whatever and uh sometimes we just hop on to the next you know thing we want and that gets us through okay but when i get home popcorn or when you know tomorrow i get breakfast i mean how many this is something just to observe like during our sit tonight but all week long every carrot you dangle in front of your mind the little promise you behave mark and you get you get to go to sleep tonight or you you know if you're good you're gonna be able to retire someday and then you won't have to do anything which is probably the most scary thing right it always looks good i mean it's like that's the thing about desire we're just ignorant about the things we're promising ourselves you think we'd learn i drove uh to bakery to get uh chocolate i have to be honest more than one chocolate chip cookie today and uh you know but it's it was just that you know and the thought did occur to me that we're talking about sensuality and craving tonight so i thought well this would be good field work but it's like all the way like whenever there was a more balanced presence for moments you know in that whole ordeal there was there was very you know it was pretty clear that it wouldn't really matter i mean it wasn't like the mind really thought it would matter but but the force of habit like the animating force of being able to go do something it's like that's what we know and we really i find it myself there's that um i think it's alejandra sarah says we haven't really stared that monster in the face of the mind not being formed around craving and because it has initially it has a flavor of death because it's so unfamiliar not because it you actually die when we drop the identification with desiring but it's very unfamiliar and this is sort of because a lot of what the buddha taught was familiar stuff at the time you know about generosity and moral integrity around non-harming and and even concentration and just collecting unifying the mind in the present moment but the unique piece that the buddha added was really looking at the joy like staring that monster in the face whether you call it in a moment boredom or like that sense of lack like it when the mind isn't identified with wanting or not wanting there can initially be this not so pleasant sense of emptiness like i don't know who i am i don't know what life is about when i'm not wanting or not wanting and we have to learn how to be with that yucky feeling really relax with it because we might discover as the buddha did and so many of us have at least tasted to some degree that there's this whole let's call it other realm or dimension of pleasure there's the pleasure of getting what we want and getting rid of what we don't want that's a real pleasure it's just somewhat or very ephemeral but there's this whole other dimension of pleasure which is basically the pleasure of not being caught up in this realm of sensuality of thinking that this endless pursuit of what we want and don't want leads somewhere it's such a relief for the mind to get out of that vortex and the first place we discovered is when the mind just gets a little concentrated and we're just with the breath or we're just absorbed in some work we're doing needlepoint or whatever it might be it doesn't really matter so in the flow of being with the breath being with the knitting being with the washing of the dishes being with whatever that there's an escape from the normal torments of the craving mind and if there's an invitation like we get some teaching encouragement to notice that pleasure of seclusion the mind secluded to some degree from the craving from the identification with desire because like where this happens there there will be probably desire like when you're doing mindfulness of breathing there's a desire to track the breathing in and the breathing out and there should be a desire to notice the pleasantness of that the pleasantness of that secluded i mean there's all kinds of desires even for meditation but if we're doing our practice skillfully we don't bother to identify with the desire because it's an unneeded stress and it's counterproductive it isn't onward leading and we learn this all of us we learn this the hard way don't we we do get attached to wanting the meditation to progress the concentration to deepen to get more calm more joy more ease more stillness but you know we learn over and over again that doesn't develop the meditation that develops agitation and judgment and doubt and frustration so eventually some of us it takes a long time others catch on sooner but if we stick with it we'll learn that concentration deepens when we follow the instructions without identification or attachment we just do what we're told i mean i don't know if this is if this will make sense but in when i i practiced in burma for a while and this is told by many people who practice in the monasteries in burma the most impressive meditators are these young women like uh older teenagers and uh one of the reasons it's a pretty patriarchal culture and uh so you and the monks in burma probably still to this to today but certainly when i was there and before they're sort of the top of the heap in terms of power and prestige you know more than a businessman or political leaders like if you're a side uh teacher and head of a monastery it's like you're the high status person in the in the culture and so when that person tells you to do something and you're a relatively low status person like a woman in this culture you just do what you're told and they get success in their practice because they follow the instructions and the practice unfolds and this is the thing it's like we just stay with the present moment in that way we'll start to and where if we get invited if we're reminded to notice how good that is notice the goodness the rightness of the mind that is vividly present so present that it's not bothering to get identified with desire because what's being emphasized is the presence oh this is being known and this begins to open our mind to a whole other realm of pleasure and this is important the second half of the course you know we'll talk about contentment and dispassion which is just the maturing of that pleasure initially it can be even quite rapturous lots of joy lightness brightness energy feeling really enlivened [Music] and calm at the same time but it's really important to as i mentioned in the guided set to be somewhat attuned to that pleasure so that we can be that uh non-attached observer observing desire because we're in a good place we feel good so it's like we don't have to go looking for desire we can cultivate the pleasure of seclusion of the continuity of present moment awareness desire will keep showing its cards because that force of nature is totally you know it's just part of the mindstream it's not going anywhere it's always going to be active but then we'll be able to because of that contentedness of being relatively settled and whole and unified we can see desire in a new way and that's really the insight i mean one way to think about the insight the cessation of craving isn't the cessation of desire it's the cessation of misunderstanding desire and when we understand desire for what it is it's not a problem but that's easier said than done and the interesting thing and i'm sure that this is familiar to some of you there will be moments when desire is a problem and then and then in the next moment it's not a problem like there's some real space of wisdom and the mind feels like in safe territory like oh i don't need to worry about this desiring because i get it but then in the next moment i mean like literally the next moment we find ourselves acting out that desire or that aversion in a way that's unskillful even though there was some true clarity in the previous moment because that clarity and the liberation from doing stupid stuff is moment by moment by moment and we can lose it just like we can get that clarity i do this a lot with my own addictive tendencies you know just like oh yeah i'm not gonna do that i see it i feel it i know where it leads it's not helpful i'm okay with the tug you know it's not even so much a tug and then i kind of you know so i do that discernment there's presence mindful presence it's balance wisdom's good and then i lose the threat of the present moment and whatever that desire and the tendency to identify with the desire kind of finds another little way back into the mind the mind gets attached and before mindfulness kicks back in we're already down the road acting out that desire or that aversion and that's why there's such an emphasis on the continuity present moment awareness and it isn't personal it feels personal it feels like there's a war going on between you know the forces of attachment and craving and wisdom but this you know the tendency to misunderstand desire is just the it just has momentum it's not an evil force but it is not to be taken lightly because we'll do all kinds of crazy stuff i mean think about how many lives have been destroyed by sexual attraction or by using drugs or overeating or you know whatever people do because they've gotten addicted and it's really interesting like to oh this doesn't matter but the thing is it doesn't that one time doesn't matter but one time leads to the next time you know how it is so the best place to really understand that desire is just what it is and it isn't more than what it is is before it gains a lot of momentum and that groove is well greased so in your your groups tonight you know you can discuss your own relationship with desire and you can choose a particular place where you've seen in moments the emptiness of that particular desire that shows up for you and then in how in other moments it feels so much real and there really is a me that needs to do this i'm helpless in the face of this i can't help myself i know i'm going to do this i know i shouldn't but i'm going to do this anyway i'm going to call this person you know we just can't leave it alone and that's just so interesting to see because it it's very real but it can be understood as being very impersonal so many things are impersonal but we really have to pay attention like if you do backpacking or any kind of wilderness adventure stuff you know the forces of nature are totally impersonal they're not out to get you but you you have to totally respect the forces of nature even though they're not evil they're not out to get you and it's exactly the same in terms of our own mental conditioning around desire another thing to talk about is this place that i mentioned around fear of boredom and how how we often like when almost like an antidepressant will look for something to want to give life oh i could do this i'll get interested in that and then it when it things run their course and we kind of are starting to creep back into the territory of boredom my life losing meaning because the thing i really wanted i've either gotten enough of it and it didn't really satisfy in any meaningful way because i'm now vulnerable again and and we can even this wise presence can even catch that sort of like this is mark desperately looking for the next thing to animate give meaning to my life and in the buddhist realms of existence they have this realm of the hungry ghosts right it's a sort of i'm guessing but who knows metaphorical [Music] system that just describes different aspects of our mind and that they're depicted as having huge bellies huge appetites but their mouth is the size of a pinhole so they can never satisfy their appetite and it's just it's a pretty graphic depiction of of that needing something and a lot of us when when we first come into the buddhist teachings and practices it is for us that that next thing you know oh i'll do this i'll desire this i'll become this this will save me and hopefully it will but not because we become buddhists but because through the practice this is the thing if we just do what we're told it will radically change the mind's relationship to sensuality before we break into small groups i'll just mention because it's so relevant and at least i'm not sure if it's literally true but in the early buddhist tradition it's considered the first talk that the buddha gave this uh setting the wheel of dhamma setting the wheel of these wise teachings these liberating teachings in motion and the first part of that he's the story is at least that the buddha found some of the friends that he had earlier practiced with but they had abandoned him because he had given up on the ascetic practices because he realized that denying the body its comforts doesn't lead to liberation and they thought he was getting weak so they left soon after that buddha got healthier came into a more balanced place and had his deep awakening under the bodhi tree and then a few months later he tracked down these five friends dharma friends practitioners and they were pretty you know pretty good meditators already and the first thing he said to them is as as we already knew you know this is a real rough paraphrase that happiness true release to freedom doesn't come to indulging in sense experience and that of course nodded because they were heavy-duty aesthetics you know into aesthetic practices a lot of self-denial fasting and things like that and then he goes but you know ignoring the needs of the body the way he said it is that which is devoted to central pleasures and central objects is ignore ignoble unprofitable but also that which is devoted to self-affliction painful unprofitable that's also not the way avoiding both of these extremes the middle way realized by me the tattagata that's how the buddha refer to himself after his awakening the one thus gone that's what that means producing vision producing knowledge leads to calm to direct knowledge to self-awakening to unbinding so by not rejecting sensuality which is its own that's the craving non-existence that's its own kind of reaction self-centered reaction to sensuality it's more of the same thinking that sensuality is going to save us is one approach thinking that sensuality is out to get me i'm just going to give up on it that's another wrong approach and wanting to become somebody in a better sensual situation is the same thing these are the three expressions so it's abandoning craving [Music] and that's something you can reflect on in the small group but also especially this coming week who am i without craving or what am i or what is this when cravings ceases because you know we we have some intuition about this already because craving isn't constant some moments during the day it's like really big and intense and other moments it's quite diminished right so we can we can learn a lot just in just getting a sense how's craving now where's the craving how's being operating in the mind and the body heart now what's it feel like is it true that cravings ceases without gratification let me just notice like where you know after the small groups you go home and maybe you promised yourself you dangled the carrot and it would be nice just if you get home you sit down you go okay there's that reverberation of me promising myself you get to watch your favorite show or whatever you did you know you get to put your best pajamas on and crawl into bed but just to sort of in a playful way just like not indulge in the gratification and just notice what you learn this is really what we want to do with this four-week course is just get to know the mind and sensuality craving the possibility of the pleasure of contentment and dispassion to really see that not as a resignation and we'll talk more about that next week's the next two weeks the real freedom and satisfying pleasure of letting go of attachment	Common Ground Meditation

rUrasgVHiY8	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUrasgVHiY8	Worker's Comp - Injured On the Job? Tell SOMEONE!!!	a lot of people men women i think men may be more guilty of it than women think uh it's just a twinge oh i just you know it'll go away you know i'll go home and i'll rub some some you know ben gay on it tonight when i get home and i'll rest and it'll be better by the morning you know or some guys will go you know two or three days because it's the macho type thing to do oh yeah i hurt my back but yeah it's okay it's it's not a big deal well it is a big deal if it turns out to be a big deal and he didn't tell anybody when it happened and where it happened and how it happened and and and get care from somebody at that point in time because the longer you wait the more difficult it is to prove that whatever is wrong with you now was the result of something that happened five days ago ten days ago maybe two weeks ago that you didn't think was going to be a big deal at the time but now it is so the the lesson is if you get hurt on the job let somebody know tell them and tell them they're supposed to write it up because they're supposed to that's their burden that's their obligation if you tell them that you got hurt they're supposed to make notation of that so that they have uh evidence that that you know it did happen and you reported it people are reluctant to do that they're just reluctant to do it and i understand for any number of reasons uh they're afraid you know to lose favor of their employer afraid to look like a you know look like a wimp or something like that you know they just they don't want to do it so i see all the time where people say well you know i got hurt last thursday but i didn't tell anybody about it until the following monday i just thought it would get better i just i just thought you know i would rest over the weekend and it would get better and unfortunately then the question becomes well did you get hurt back last thursday at work or did you get hurt out water skiing on saturday when you weren't at work and then you came into work on monday and said oh by the way i hurt my back last thursday that's when the issues start to arise you can you can avoid those if you would just man up and and tell them hey i hurt myself oh i am sorry i hurt myself i didn't mean to but i did and it hurts so anyway that's that's that that's you know that's the bottom line you just you need to report it you need to report it and make sure you report it to somebody that matters i mean you tell joe your best friend that's fine that's somebody but joe your best friend isn't necessarily going to carry a lot of weight when the time comes to say well you know for sure well you're his best friend right well yeah well what would you say oh no he lied to me he didn't really get hurt at work so anyway you need you need to report it to a supervisor foreman manager whoever your boss is you need to report it to them	CMHartHayslett	UCBxRgzGJ9N3WFsIg4TqGp1Q	2022-08-03	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	590	2,855
_5N2nM9Eoj0	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5N2nM9Eoj0	Java Arrays	okay so this video is about java arrays if you learn about arrays in python it's a lot similar than arrays in java so let's go ahead and get started the first thing we need to do is we need to make a file so let's go ahead and go to other go to file let's name it eraser java it's good to name your files whatever you're doing so if you're doing arrays then name it arrays.java from here what we have to do is we have to start we need our syntax our syntax is very important because it's what i like to call it's what initiates every program but typically it's a set of code that must be present in every program in order for it to compile so let me go to package and then i'm gonna put the name in my package y'all can go ahead and skip this because y'all don't have a package if you do have a package then you can go ahead and declare that because you're because the my files that i'm making are inside the package so i need to declare it in order for it to compile but y'all can skip this because i'm pretty sure i'd say 95 of y'all don't have a package so this the next thing here is what you can start following up with so let's go ahead and say public i don't know let's go ahead and say class and then we need the name of our file so i'm going to go ahead and say erase this is all review you can check my java introduction for all for all this stuff okay from here what we can then do we can do public static by the way this is your name of your file so don't just go ahead and say erase you're gonna need an error so let's go ahead and say boyd let's go to main string arcs this is all the syntax by the way the void just means there's no return value so you're going to see a system.out.println statements because void does not have a return value so you can't just use return which you would normally do in methods methods this starts to change you'll see strings you'll see ends in there and then public is just a modifier um we'll learn more about that in modifiers okay there we go let's save it so now we have officially set up our file now let's go ahead and talk about what we're going to be doing so we're going to be doing is we're going to be talking about arrays the first thing we need to do is we need to declare our data type my data type is going to be a string however it can be an integer it can be a boolean it could be anything however your elements that will come later must follow the data type you've chosen meaning if you've done integers you're not going to put words for your elements you're going to put numbers right that's exactly what we're going to do because you're going to get an error if you do that so if you're doing if you're declaring a string then put words if you're doing if you're declaring an integer then put numbers after this we then need a name so i'm going to name it battle rail after that we then put an equal sign and then we can put the elements of our array typically the elements are related to the name of your array however they don't always have to but it's good that they do so that you know what you're doing but all your elements must match your data type that you put that you declared at first so let's go ahead and fill those in by the way this is going to be whatever you want but it has to be strings if you're declaring a string has to be numbers if you're declaring an int so let's do that [Music] okay and there we go let's end it there and now we have our array set up however we cannot compile any code unless we manipulate with this array so what we have to do here is we then have to start manipulating with this array so the first thing that we can do is that we can access a specific element in the array so 0 will always be the first element of every array if you learn about arrays in python you already know this however if this is your first time doing arrays in general then you're going it's going to take some time to get that in your head so let's go ahead and just put a system.println message and let's put the name of our array and then in square brackets the element that you want to access i want to access the first element so i'm going to put 0. if i want to access the second element you put 1 and then so on and then let's put a semicolon on there and now let's run it [Music] and there you go we will see the first element of the array which is fortnite that is the first element of our ray so next let's talk about what we can do with the array the second thing that we can do is we can replace one of these elements that we have originally had with something else let's say you don't like something you change your mind that's good that's okay that happens then you can just go ahead and replace it so to do that all you can just do is you can just put the name of the array and then in square brackets the element that you want to replace once you do that you can then put an equal sign and you're going to put what you want instead and then put it with the semicolon then you're going to do system.out.println and then name of your array and then the element as simple as that and then now let's run it and there we go the first element of the array is now replaced the third thing that we can do is that we can do a dot length dot length is pretty much it just tells you how many elements are present in the array so the result that we're going to get is 5 because there are 5 elements in the array we're going to get 5 because there are 5 elements in the array so that one is pretty simple now finally for the last thing that we're going to be doing is something a little bit different it's called a for loop for loops essentially iterate through all the elements in the array so let's go ahead and say four and then after that i'm going to go ahead and put it let's put i equals zero as you start doing java and as you start learning more about loops you'll know what this stuff is but i'll just summarize it out for you so dot length pretty much just tells you how many times you want the loop to iterate we only want it to iterate once so we're going to put i equals battlerail.len after that the next thing we need to do is we need to do oops my bad that should be a semicolon and this should also be a semicolon and then do hi plus plus so i is just a temporary value that stores all the elements in the for loop i can be x it can be anything but i is typically the temporary it's the default value and then what we can do here oh whoops my bad what we can just do here is we can do system.out.println and then well [Music] and then i because i is a value that holds all the elements of the array [Music] oh my bad this should be a less than i've been mistyping a lot today so please forgive me for that and then this should also be a semicolon that is also my mistake so there you go we have created our for loop so once again dot length just shows how many times you want the loop to be iterated i is our temporary value so it's just it's just our temporary value we're going to make i 0 for now however that will change and i plus plus is just our simply our increment and what it's going to do here is that's just going to show us it's going to list all the elements that are in our array and that's pretty much it those are the four ways we can manipulate with an array in java so if you had any questions be sure to leave them down in the comments below i always look forward to answering comments and i always and always love helping people so with that being said um

qRd9gYnV95s	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRd9gYnV95s	An ecological perspective – Andrew Jeffs	hey thanks very much and for inviting me to give you a quick um extension of of what Dana was talking about Donna's report and Donna and her colleagues report is fantastic because it really sets the scene in terms of the particularly the benefits of uh seaweed aquaculture um I teach ecosystem services in the marine environment at the University and this is the standard sort of chart you put up for shellfish farming for example and there's uh key uh ecological and social socio cultural and economic benefits and if we have a look at uh which ones that um different types of aquaculture fulfill you'll see that seaweed is uh in every single category unlike uh fish farming or bivalve farming it's the most benign form of aquaculture pretty much that we have um you've seen this figure already but perhaps one thing that's that was missed off this diagram or isn't very clear is this this uh the trital and dissolved matter unlike land plants seaweeds grow from the base and they expect their ends of their uh their fronds to be lost into the environment and that loss as well as the uh material they just exude out their skin a bit like sweat um is a really really important source of carbon in uh in coastal communities especially in temperate Waters where we have uh large kelp stands and that's a major issue in New Zealand at the moment where we're seeing uh large areas of natural kelp forests uh disappearing uh in some areas associated with trophic cats Cascades from overfishing but kelp and seaweed aquaculture has the potential to contribute to the enormous uh carbon in uh in our Coastal ecosystems and increase the productivity of our Coastal ecosystems in an incredible way that other forms of aquaculture can't and if you look at the studies around the world especially those that have been done in temperate regions the the carbon coming from seaweeds is really really important in terms of driving Coastal ecosystems so around 30 to up to 60 or even 80 in some cases of the carbon that's found in uh subsequent trophic consumers such as filter feeding shellfish detrital feeders things like sea cucumbers and worms on the seafloor are relying to a huge extent 30 to 60 percent on the carbon that's coming being released in various forms from uh from seaweed so this seaweeds have an important role and so therefore increasing that carbon Supply from including from aquaculture is is something that's significant and worth having a look at um I stayed up last late last night after the aquaculture conference and I did this really gorgeous drawing I was really proud of myself and I went to bed and I didn't save it unfortunately so early this morning I had to get this horrible figure which is totally confusing but the summary is there that um filter feeding shellfish and seaweed you'd expect them to go together uh very nicely because on one hand shellfish they respire you know they live and and they uh excrete they they produce um nutrients particularly nitrogen forms of readily accessible nitrogen and phosphorus and they also release carbon dioxide because they're literally breathing organisms and on the reverse side of that we've got seaweed and it loves all those same things it wants uh nutrients and nitrogen and phosphorus are in short supply in most marine environments so and seaweed needs it to grow and it's it's uh it produces oxygen as a result of photosynthesizing and that's just what muscles need to breathe and another great thing about that process is it it buffers the pH uh and so it makes it more conducive to shellfish making uh calcifying their shells so you'd expect it's a perfect marriage um and uh yeah so you would expect that the opportunity for cold culturing mussels with seaweed would be excellent because it's such a perfect fit so New Zealand has an enormous opportunity we have 15 000 hectares or over 15 000 hectares of consented Farm space for mussels in New Zealand and around 7 000 of that is already developed so if we could culture uh seaweeds with our green shell muscle we could have two for the price of one uh benefit from the perfect marriage as any of you who are married will know that benefiting from a perfect marriages so I won't go there um but it's interesting there's been four or actually five studies done on this in New Zealand in one way or another over a number of years and the results are quite mixed so the first one was done in 2008 and they they basically looked at they used food chain markers to have a look to see uh whether greenshell muscles were relying on carbon coming from nearby kelp and they estimated they also looked at Pacific oysters and they estimated around UH 60 of the the carbon was coming from the adjacent kelp and uh 34 in oysters so that indicates that if you were growing them together you'd expect to have some uh mutual benefits um uh a second study uh took um uh muscles and placed them in different uh habitats with and without kelp or with kelp at different densities and left them there to feed in that local environment and found uh no difference at all between places muscles put in places with lots of kelp and places with very little kelp so you'd have to wonder so then someone thought they'd take it inside a lab and have a crack at it and I hate to say this experiment was actually done at my University and it's been published and when you take a close look at it it's uh there's a fundamental flaw in it I'm not going to point it out because it's embarrassing to me even but I wasn't involved in it I have to say but they claim it made no difference in terms of the uh the growth of muscles with and without kelp in the same tanks recently we've just repeated that experiment and put in the appropriate controls to control for what wasn't perhaps controlled as well it should been previously and we found the same thing it's made very little difference to the growth of the blood muscles and we don't know why uh it is it is very confusing uh and so uh we're we're going to continue doing some work on it to try and crack it but ultimately the real test is for us to be um to have some muscles in place with some kelp or some seaweeds and grow them together and separately in the environment and see whether we've got any differences we think as Dana alluded to previously it's uh we think these relationships are very context dependent on the environment in which they occur and it may be to do with the amount of seaweed breakdown there is and the microorganisms involved and breaking that seaweed material down and making it more available seaweeds some seaweeds anyway have uh anti-nutritional factors in them things that try and stop things like fish like butterfish for example coming and feeding on them it interferes with their digestion so there may be some effect from that with some seaweeds in some some situations especially in how whether they're exposed to Predators or not they may increase the amount of those those chemicals and there's also clearly some methodological issues that's one to sort out with the scientists I thought I'd also um we're also doing doing some work um with goldridge Marine farm and uh Lucas's crew and the Green Wave team um looking at uh the role of co-culture in um in the relation to fish recruitment and so we're quite lucky goldridge had a farm until it was harvested that had a lot of natural kalp on it Colonia and underia and it was a Muscle Farm and so we looked at the numbers of fish and the types of fish recruiting into that farm uh which was a you know very diverse Farm uh biologically in terms of that uh seaweed and and mussels compared to a farm nearby that just had mussels compared to a Sandy area and compared to a natural Reef with kelp and what we found really interestingly is that the the uh the co-culture farm and the Muscle Farm had is good fish recruitment as the nearby uh natural habitats but in terms of operating as Nursery habitats for those fish I mean so those fish settled as larvae but then the numbers that grew up to a larger size and stayed in that habitat was uh higher in uh in the Muscle Farm and the co-culture farm than um then then at least one of the natural habitats and it was exactly the same level as in a natural kelp Reef habitat so it means that the co-culture situation at least and even muscle Farms are really important in terms of generating fish in coastal communities so I think we've struggled because we haven't had kelp Farms to work on but Green Wave solving that for us and we'll soon be able to do that but we can already see from these initial results that that kelp Farms or co-culture Farms are going to be important contributors into Coastal ecosystems even if it's just increasing the production of fish thank you	Sustainable Seas National Science

fSmmSENhJdc	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSmmSENhJdc	Psychopharmacology Antidepressants, Mood Stabilizers, Atypical Antipsychotics	Hi and welcome to the class today. Today we're going to be talking about some of the more common medications that our clients might be on: antidepressants, atypical antipsychotics, and a little bit with the typical antipsychotics if you will, and mood stabilizers and so the first thing you might say is why do I care? Why is this important to me? Well in my opinion for several reasons. Number one because we need to know what these medications are supposed to be doing for our clients but number two a lot of our clients have this white coat phobia if you will and if they're on a medication that's not working for them they don't speak up to their doctors so educating them about the fact that there are multiple different types of antidepressants atypical antipsychotics mood stabilizers all that act a little bit differently all that may or may not have similar or different side effects and some people find that there are certain side effects that are just intolerable so at that point they end up being medical medication non-compliant which in and of itself causes a problem with our end of treatment so again we want to know what the medications supposed to do we want to educate our patients to enable them to advocate for themselves and we also want to be aware from a clinical standpoint if when they're taking the medication they actually seem to be getting worse and not better so for each of the following antidepressants antipsychotics and mood stabilizers we'll look at their method of action in general explore the types of disorders they're used to treat and let me tell you there are a lot of them and review the most common medications in those classes that way you have a general idea when you're doing someone's intake if they say they're on risperdal you can go okay I know that one well identify where to get more information for patients there's some really good resources on the web that not only provide basically your information but also provide patient reviews where they say this is how I felt when I started taking it these are the side-effects that I personally experienced yada yada and they talked about their experience with it as well as their experiences with other medications obviously their patients not doctors so it's not medical advice but it does help normalize what some of our patients are going through especially when they first start taking a medication and they may start feeling foggy or weird and then we'll discuss if we've got time the benefits and drawbacks to off-label prescribing some people feel very adamant about off-label prescribing and and or not off-label prescribing so if we have time I will open the floor up for discussion as always if you have any questions while I'm presenting feel free to type it in the chat window and I will try to answer it as we go along so we're gonna do a brief review of pardon me dopamine and some of our neurotransmitters and let me see if I can do this and so in your course in the classroom there is a PDF that's your neurotransmitter quick guide I'm one of those people who likes lists I really do because it gives me the ability to visualize things and see that for example depression pops up in a lot of different places anxiety pops up in a lot of different places but you can also get a feeling for the neurotransmitters that excess dopamine tends to in one way or another sort of rev people up hyper sexuality unnecessary movements repetitive tics where is not enough dopamine slows them down and then you've got your negative symptoms of schizophrenia eight ADHD lack of attention lack of motivation fatigue serotonin you've got anxiety if there's not enough and if and if you've got excess you can also have depression because you're basically revving the system up too much norepinephrine again you see anxiety if there is an excess so it's a rev upper river upper same thing with acetylcholine both of those are River uppers and they're your fighter for fight-or-flight chemicals but if you don't have enough you're pretty slow loss of alertness difficulty focusing difficulty concentrating so you can see where there's a lot of overlap in these one of the things I want you to really consider is the fact that most mental health issues that come up are probably not due to just one of these chemicals being too low or too high it's probably a lack of balance between a lot of them so helping clients understand that we need to figure out kind of what's out of whack and get it back in balance is going to be a big part of kind of what we talked about today so dopamine is implicated in cognitive control so if you've got too much dopamine you may have racing thoughts attentional control impulse control and working memory symptoms of excess dopamine unnecessary movement psychosis hypersexuality most of your antipsychotics and your atypicals that we're going to talk about are dopamine antagonists it reduces the amount of dopamine available symptoms of insufficient dopamine we're talking about your negative symptoms of schizophrenia your flatness and just lack of movement lack of your catatonia those sorts of things more sense of pain symptoms of Parkinson's disease restless legs interestingly that's the one where it's more revved up than down and a DD where people are having difficulty focusing their attention other more common kinds of low levels of dopamine lack of motivation fatigue remember dopamine is our feel-good chemical it's our reward chemical so if we don't have enough of it we don't have a lot of motivation to get off the couch we don't have a lot of motivation to concentrate and it may be more difficult to sleep because that is throwing a lot of other neuro chemicals out of balance which is going to affect our circadian rhythms our serotonin levels our melatonin levels and so on medications and we're going to talk more about these risperidone Haldol zyprexa these are the ones we're going to talk about as some of your more common dopamine antagonists your atypical antipsychotics agonists just so you can be aware if if your client has Parkinson's and syndrome or restless leg syndrome and I see restless legs a fair amount they will be taking a dopamine agonist so if they're also taking an anti-psychotic they're probably cancelling themselves out so we need to help educate our clients especially ones that go to multiple doctors mechanism of action of serotonin helps regulate mood sleep patterns appetite and pain a lot of your serotonin is in your gut there are a lot of interactions with serotonin and you can see implications with serotonin in irritable bowel and a variety of different neurological problems which you'll see when we talk about what things SSRIs are prescribed for they're prescribed for a lot of neurological pain as well as a whole host of other things symptoms of excess depression apathy emotional flatness when serotonin goes up some of the other happy chemicals go down so we got to remember that just because someone's depressed doesn't necessarily mean they have too little serotonin difficulty concentrating and learning poor memory difficulty making too decisions and sexual dysfunction insufficiency that's a short list depression anxiety and pain sensitivity norepinephrine this is one of your get up and go fight-or-flight chemicals it mobilizes the brain and body for action it increases arousal alertness but also anxiety and restlessness it can provoke promote hyper vigilance and vigilance and focus attention so if you're reading reading through this you might go well that kind of sounds like some of the PTSD symptoms and I'm like yeah it kind of does we need to look at norepinephrine if we've got a client who is hyper vigilant who startles really easily seems like they're keyed up and on edge a lot excess anxiety increased startle reflex and jumpiness impaired concentration restless sleep rapidly fatigued they get up they start going in the morning and by ten o'clock they're like I need a nap now you know some of us would like to have a nap but this is regular for them they just they can't get through a day without just being completely exhausted muscle tension and cramps because this hyper vigilance and startle response they tend to be tighter in their chests neck area you know holding a lot of that tension which can contribute in my opinion to irritability and edginess so your norepinephrine medications are going to be your alpha-2 agonist s-- which have a sedating effect and are commonly used in anesthesia as well as in the treatment of drug or alcohol dependence so we're going again talk about those in a few minutes I just wanted to review the neurotransmitters stimulus and antidepressants increased dopamine and serotonin as well as increasing levels of norepinephrine so remember I talked about how you can't well you can try at least to increase just one but when somebody is taking an antidepressant or a stimulant like an ADHD medication not only are they increasing serotonin but they're also probably increasing norepinephrine and dopamine so I found this when interesting so just bear with me for a brief little second there are different receptors in the brain the presynaptic terminal excretes neurotransmitters into the synaptic space and then there are all kinds of different locks if you want to envision it as lock and key on the receiving neurons your D receptors d1 through d4 are typically associated with dopamine I'm like thank you for giving me a clue there then you go down to 5h T 1 and 5/8 through 5h t7 with subtypes like 5h d1 a 5-ht to ace you know lots of subtypes does your serotonin now I don't know how they got serotonin from HT but you know alpha receptors and you'll see the little alpha sign and a little sub number are associated with there your adrenergic receptors your adrenalin norepinephrine or adrenaline epinephrine and adrenaline so if you see a little alpha that's your get-up-and-go receptors and whether you're increasing them are working against them and your m1 through your m3 are your muscarinic receptors which are associated with acetylcholine muscarinic receptors are more active when we talk about gaba and we're not talking about that today but and your H receptors are associated with your histamines remember histamines are the things that your body excretes to when there's an allergy or something that kind of make you itchy just to be aware so these are the different receptors that they look at when they're evaluating the efficacy and what what receptors are being affected when people take different psychotropic meds and one last review higher acetylcholine and higher or norepinephrine so those are two get-up-and-go neuro chemicals together with low serotonin so you're happy chemicals low and your fight-or-flight chemicals are high produces anxiety irritability anger aggressiveness go figure when epinephrine which norepinephrine is your get up and go and your motivation chemical dopamine is your reward chemical and serotonin is your happy chemical for lack of a better term but acetylcholine is low the result is depression and you're like well how did that happen you've got get up and go reward and Happiness but we're depressed so you see how the balance is so important and increasing serotonin levels will lower acetylcholine levels so it's important to understand that there is an interaction and it will also potentially lower norepinephrine over here and your dopamine so you can't just increase one without affecting the other three so now on to antidepressants yay you're selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors decreased serotonin blockers in the brain it makes it so there is more serotonin getting through that into that post synaptic terminal it's going through there the ones we talk about or the you know once we first learn about in in school and a lot of doctors still kind of prescribe as your first line because they're the older more researched are your zoloft Prozac and paxil sertraline flux a teen and paroxetine heuristic evidence when we talk to patients is that zoloft tends to be more neutral as far as making people sleepy making people gain weight Zach tends to be more stimulating and a lot of people report they have a lot more anxiety when they're taking that but if you've got a client who just can't get out of bed or who has no motivation sometimes prozac is the kick in the butt that helps them paxil on the other hand tends to sedate a lot of our clients one of the suggestions that the docs i've worked with have made to clients is to take the paxil at night before bed they won't feel as sleepy the next day but if you've got a client who is complaining that they're on an antidepressant they're on paxil and they just can't wake up and they even try taking it at night and they just can't wake up encourage them to talk with their Doc's so they don't discontinue because of the side-effects and look at some of the others that are available citalopram I'm just gonna go with the trade names they're easier to pronounce celexa lexapro Lou Lou Vox and ultra are all available and they are all pretty commonly prescribed as well all of them work slightly differently some of them work on slightly different HT 5-ht receptors remember there's five H T 1 through 5 H t 7 plus subtypes of those so there's lots of serotonin receptors and we got to figure out which locks are broken in our particular clients and we haven't figured out a great way to really identify that yet with that kind of pinpoint accuracy we're trying to figure that out which takes us to our snr is your serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors so maybe somebody has not enough serotonin but they also or not don't have enough norepinephrine not enough get up and go if you will pristiq cymbalta and effexor have come on the market recently you know compared with zoloft prozac and and paxil and have been found to be very effective cymbalta also has the added fit of pain relief in addition to treating depression now again I'm using the trade names simply because they're easier to pronounce I'm sorry and I'm not advocating for any particular pharmaceutical company and you want to look at the generic name anyway to see if it's available in generic for your clients while I'm on this little side note and tirade if your clients cannot afford their medication go to the website of the pharmaceutical company that makes it almost every pharmaceutical company has a patient Assistance Program print out the form have the doctor saina it's usually a one-page form that indicates that the patient can't afford their medication the doctor faxes it in and they usually are able to get a voucher for either free or low-cost access to that medication and when I say low-cost I mean like four bucks not anything huge also make sure to compare the different formularies at places like Walgreens Publix Walmart Sam's Club and you know the list goes on the different drugstores to see which medications are on the low-cost plans like $4 for 30 30 days worth or twelve dollars for 90 days worth a lot of patients don't have prescription coverage so making sure that they're able to get a medication which is almost always going to be a generic at an affordable price is going to be like really huge so off my tie right back to our drugs tricyclics now once you exhaust your SSRIs and SNRIs and if they're not working as well and in some cases the doctor may decide just start with your tricyclics they tend to have more significant side effects and be harder to manage for a lot of patients than your regular SSRIs and SNRIs but I know I've had clients on pamel or before I've had clients on tofranil being aware that they're there they may be prescribed you really in my experience at least work in working with clients with co-occurring disorders most of the time I would see SSRIs and atypical antipsychotics if I saw tricyclics I would start to really think about whether this person had treatment resistant depression and want to talk to them about what else helps them bupropion or wellbutrin is a dopamine reuptake blocker so it prevents the dopamine from being sucked up which means it's more available in that that's enough in that synaptic space it has been used for depression seasonal affective disorder and also smoking cessation however because people with bulimia when they purge can make their electrolytes get out of whack something about this medication makes it more likely for them to have seizures if their electrolytes are imbalanced so it's not advised for people with history of bulimia Mao is prevent the breakdown of norepinephrine dopamine and serotonin if you've read the back of just about any over-the-counter medication it says don't take this if you're on an MAOI it doesn't play nice with others it doesn't play nice with a lot of foods including cheeses and wines it's just not a play nice in the sandbox kind of met it may be a last resort for some of our clients so you need to be aware of it again I know I've had clients before on nardole so being aware that sometimes for whatever reason the psychiatrist may choose the maoi likely they've already exhausted most of the other options because there there is a lot of risk associated with the Mao s but again it makes norepinephrine your fight-or-flight you're active you're I'm peppy sort of neurochemical dopamine your reward chemical and serotonin your happy chemical and also your I don't feel a lot of pain and I've got decent sleep so these three chemicals are pretty important and it makes them more available and then Remeron I felt the need to put this in because and it's not as much anymore but in the past I had seen a lot of our attendings and I don't know about your attendings had prescribed Bremen or Remeron for patients that were having difficulty sleeping etc and had some you know ongoing depression Remeron gave a lot of our clients really bad munchies not every client but that was one of the big complaints with REM Iran it is an order nor adrenergic antagonist which means it's going to try to prevent noradrenaline like I said I don't see it used as much anymore but it's still out there and you'll still see it so how do you find the right one well because depression can cause be caused by an imbalance in one or more neurotransmitters we need to take a lot of things into consideration first and foremost being patient treatment compliance can they afford it in our and are they going to be able to deal with the side effects please advise your clients because a lot of times and I'm don't mean to dis doctors here but a lot of times the doctors that are prescribing the anti the psychotropic medications don't tell people but the first couple of days you're taking it are gonna feel wonky some not very much at all sometimes it feels like flu-like symptoms and for some medications like zoloft if you miss a doe you're more than 12 hours late on a dose you may start feeling kind of lightheaded and like you've got the flu I like to tell my patients that right up front when they start taking a medication I'm like let's talk about what other people have reported that they have experienced just so you know that first three days may not feel so good but after that three days those side effects often go away if they don't let's talk about it before you DC because if you discontinue and then you decide to start it start up again you're gonna have those side effects again so we need to talk to them about what are intolerable side effects some clients will tell you from the get-go I will not take something that makes me gain weight okay good to know we want to talk with them about if they have any close blood relatives that have used an antidepressant that's worked for them if so that's probably a good place to start because we know there is some sort of a genetic component we also need to look at what other medications they're taking and look at any contraindications like I told you if you have somebody on medication for restless leg syndrome you're gonna have to figure out how to handle that if they also need an anti-psychotic because both of them are working in opposite ways on dopamine and we need to think about health conditions in pregnancy anything that may affect blood pressure and if the person is pregnant what the drug category is I'm not going to get into that a lot because that's something the doctor will talk about with them if you're not familiar drugs are rated in pregnancy category pregnancy safety category a through I think it's a through D D being just completely unacceptable but some of your SSRIs are in the category B where they're pretty sure it's not going to cause big problems in the infant but they can't ethically test on pregnant women so all they're going from is any reports that may have come in from someone who was taking the medication while they were pregnant so again that's something for the doctor to worry about but do you know that there are considerations for pregnancy especially with your mood stabilizers and your atypical antipsychotics so what antidepressants treat everything it's like throwing the kitchen sink anorexia and feeding problems we know that serotonin is involved in hunger anxiety and panic anxiety and stress binge eating so again with the food so we've got anxiety food mood swings body dysmorphic disorder and I was reading a best practice on that recently that the SSRIs that are used to address body dysmorphic disorder are often used prescribed at much higher levels than you would see for a quote normal depression treatment I'll be doing a class on that but just kind of be aware if your your patient says they've got BDD and they report taking Zoloft at you know 400 milligrams which is like a huge huge dose of Zoloft that might not actually be incorrect borderline personality disorder bulimia again with the food depression fibromyalgia with the pain anxiety again hot flashes so you know not sure how that works but it is prescribed for hot flashes intermittent explosive disorder irritable bowel remember I said a lot of your serotonin is in your gut like 80% of it depression OCD PTSD postpartum premature ejaculation PMDD schizoaffective social anxiety and somatoform pain disorder so basically there's depression anxiety mood swings and food issues pain and food issues now onto your atypical antipsychotics generally known as major tranquilizers and if you've been around clients who are on these you will know that they can really slow somebody down while I'm on that some resourceful patients with co-occurring disorders may take their atypical antipsychotic in combination with another depressant in order to get high in treatment and residential treatment it is not uncommon for clients to check their seroquel and save it for later and then they take it in the morning and they stay up through that sleepy period and they're in sort of a weird hypnotic state at that point is what one of my patients described it as so being aware that atypical antipsychotics as well as typical antipsychotics can be abused because they're tranquilizer combining them with other depressants can be deadly but it can also be a way that some of our patients try to get high and neuroleptics now these are more your first generation antipsychotics but you know it's important to know that they do have some neurological effects a typical antipsychotics your antipsychotics in general when you're talking about them block receptors in the brains dopamine pathways causing a reduction in dopamine stimulation they're reducing the amount of dopamine available but interestingly they fail to significantly improve the negative symptoms and cognitive dysfunction now when we've found out recently that a lot of that has to do with receptor dopamine receptor 3 so if there's reducing the amount of dopamine and dopamine receptor 3 is involved in the cognitive problems and the negative symptoms so they need to ramp that one up they've got to figure out how to find something that's a selective dopamine inhibitor if it's even possible so what do we have available to us does that prex a-- is one that a lot of my clients have been on seroquel risperdal giad own abilify any of these that you see your clients on are going to be your atypical antipsychotics and you may have a client in there and you're thinking to yourself well this client doesn't have schizophrenia so why are they on an atypical antipsychotic that's a good question because they are used to treat a whole host of things partially because most neurotransmitters work in synchrony but partially because a antipsychotics are good at sort of slowing people down they're good for treating agitation anxiety bipolar disorder especially the manic symptoms interestingly body dysmorphic disorder borderline depression sometimes you will see an atypical antipsychotic with a an SSRI for people with quote treatment-resistant depression anxiety again intermittent explosive disorder people who have nightmares night terrors may be prescribed these to help them sleep OCD post-traumatic stress disorder psychosis schizoaffective disorder schizophrenia again with a social anxiety tic disorder and Tourette's syndrome so what I want you to notice and you know I think I highlighted that is the fact that a lot of these mood disorders quote-unquote that we work with that we typically think SSRI may also be treated or affected by antipsychotics which tells us that dopamine is involved in this whole process so it may not just be a serotonin thing for somebody side effects unfortunately even the newer antipsychotics have many side effects and just because they're atypical doesn't mean that they have fewer side effects than some of your older ones like your Prolixin bear that in mind drowsiness dizziness restlessness weight gain constipation nausea vomiting blurred vision low blood pressure uncontrollable movements such as tics and tremors yeah wanted to sound like a commercial but be aware of your normal side effects there is a checklist that I put in the classroom it is wonderful I wish I would have had it in all the years I was actually working in residential facilities is the antipsychotic side-effect checklist and it breaks it down into layman's terms for our clients to be able to say yeah I'm experiencing that and for our counselors to be reminded of all the different symptoms that actually may be a side effect of the antipsychotic for example switching back and forth being restlessness and switching back and forth in their chair a lot of times counselors not knowing may attribute that to either anxiety or lack of attention and being disruptive in group when we go back and we look and say oh well Jim Bob was just started on an atypical then we might be able to talk with Jim Bob and talk with the doctor and figure out if that side effect is going to pass for him but it's also a way to avoid blaming the client for something that's not their fault they're not trying to be disruptive they just literally cannot sit still so you can print that out it's a great checklist to have clozapine and Allen as a piñar associated with the greatest effects on weight gain and decreased insulin sensitivity followed by a risperidone and quit upon quite a teen I got to work on this um anyway risperdal is one we see a lot so it's important to recognize that these four are going to likely have the side effect of producing more weight gain they also are likely going to have the side effect of increasing insulin sensitivity which exact may exacerbate diabetes or hyperglycemia again this is something the doctor is going to be more concerned with than you are but if you're in a residential facility someone just started on an atypical antipsychotic they're in group and they go into some sort of a diabetic crisis it's important to understand oh this may be what's happening instead of just going I don't know he just fell out so these are important things for the paramedics to know for your your staff to know if someone has recently started on a atypical antipsychotic mood stabilizers they're comprised of a variety of drugs used to reduce mood swings most of them are GABA receptor agonists they're going to increase the amount of GABA available they all kind of fall into different categories but you have lithium which is just a straight-up mineral lithium can be really hard on the kidneys so there are a lot of it's very important for our clients to be well monitored by their doctor now you may think well that's the doctors problem well we see the clients a lot more than they probably see their attending physician or psychiatrist and so if they cancel with their psychiatrist it may be another month before they can get in if they cancel with us we emailing miss a week with them so it's important for us to keep talking to them about their medication compliance how it's going how they're feeling they're having any side effects your anticonvulsant depakote is the one that was most commonly used where I was from I've seen lamictal and tegretol also used these typically have sedating effects but are typically well tolerated in general by our clients they are not recommended for women who are pregnant nursing knorr lithium so it's when people are pregnant and nursing and have bipolar disorder it's a sticky wicket to figure out what's gonna happen so far I have never run into an attending physician that's willing to prescribe any mood stabilizers during pregnancy and or if the person is nursing the recommendation usually is for the person to not nurse so they can get on their medication and be emotionally stable to be there for the infant so just being aware if someone is pregnant and they were on mood stabilizers they will probably come off so they're going to need some tips and tools to figure out how to deal during their pregnancy and during the unmedicated state mood Stabler stabilize your side effects itching and rash excessive thirst frequent urination shakiness nausea and vomiting slurred speech changes in heartbeat changes in vision potentially seizures hallucinations loss of coordination and swelling of the eyes face lips tongue throat hands feet etc so mood Stabler is that stabilizers wow I'm having difficulty talking today do have a lot of side effects they are potent medications if people are having side effects they need to talk with their doctor sooner rather than later to figure out if it's a normal side effect if their dose is too high for them and if it's a side effect that's going to go away other great resources and I'm going to see is this of course it'll open somewhere else the drug in accent interactions checker on drugs.com love this thing you click I agree it just basically says this is not a drug this is not a doctor's advice this is just kind of what we know so you can type in medications like sertraline and Rimmer on and let's just get in there with Haldol and then we want to check for interactions so if somebody happened to be on these which I would hope you would never see I intentionally chose things that shouldn't be together it will tell you if there are major or minor potential interactions between the medications tells you which medications may not play nice together and the clients can use this to educate themselves and to talk with their doctor sometimes the risk of the interactions is worth it in the patient and doctors opinion and that's totally between them but this is a cool thing you can email it to yourself or to the patient you can print it out so they can take it to their doctor it's a great thing to have it's a great resource another resource that you have available to you again drugs calm find drugs by disease or condition so let's say we have somebody who has depression and then we can look and see the medications that are typically prescribed for depression and you can see the patient rating as far as effectiveness and satisfaction with the medication and and obviously we will look down at xanax we know that xanax is highly abused but it gets an eight people found it to be really really helpful probably cuz they're really really sort of stoned when they take it but it does work quickly as opposed to SSRIs that do take four to six weeks to get in your system so you can click on the reviews remembering and reminding our clients that these are by patients not by doctors and we don't know exactly how accurate they are but you can get an idea on what it might feel like to take this medication and whether it sounds like it might work for you you can figure out it says your pregnancy category here yes D here so D is positive evidence of risk if you take xanax when you're pregnant there is evidence that it will hurt the fetus category C they can't rule out risk because they just don't have enough data or information paxil is a D so it gives you an idea and it also gives you an idea about what options are out there for your clients and if you have a client comes in that seems to be on a weird cocktail of medications not that we're doctors but we do know that some of our clients will doctor shop and not till doctor a about dr. BC and B so it's you know good to be able to look at some of these medications and try to figure out what's there and they may not realize that the medication for restless legs is going to impact their antipsychotics it may not be intentional but so these are two great resources that I really like to have available let me show you really quick the side effect checklist yeah you know lots of Burbage talks about the different items and defines what we're talking about so daytime sedation or drought in US whether it's a common side effect it gives you some information scroll down this is the part for the clients loss of energy and drive client can say not a problem or it is a problem and this is why muscles trembling and shaking being too tense or too stiff restlessness jitteriness need to move around and pace an inability to sit still is it a problem is it not a problem most of our clients will understand the explanations that are here because it's not overly like medical jargon II so I like to give it to them give them a couple of copies and have them rate them their symptoms or lack of symptoms every week for a couple of weeks when they first start taking atypical antipsychotics that way we have sort of a record and we can look at the progression to see if some things are wearing off and then they have something to give their doctor and I have something to put in the chart so those are three of your big ones obviously we didn't talk about your anxiety today but your antidepressants atypical antipsychotics and mood stabilizers all are occasionally used to address anxiety as well as depression food issues pain and mood swings so are there any questions okay cool if you think of any questions you are more than welcome to send me an email at support dot all CEUs com that goes straight pushes straight to my email and I can answer any questions that you may have in the meantime the quiz is open you can go in and take it and print your certificate of completion and we will be good to go I'm glad the websites are helpful and you know let me know if you need anything	Doc Snipes	UCAE3JJi8tX7gfhZEXCUGd_A	2016-05-17	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	6,231	35,330
